"Stop it—!!!"

Saber roared, but her body was completely out of her control.

But the Command Seals' force was like chains, tightly binding her limbs and soul, completely separating her will from her body.

She watched helplessly as the Sword of Excalibur gathered that familiar and dazzling light.

The light of victory that had illuminated her countless times on the battlefield now pointed to the Holy Grail she had been searching for for over a thousand years.

EX—Calibur!!!

The Sword of Excalibur cleaved through the heavens and earth, unleashing a golden torrent.

The light engulfed the Holy Grail, the dome of the entire theater, and everything in Saber's field of vision.

Golden light reflected in her emerald eyes, like a grand funeral.

The Holy Grail began to collapse the moment the light struck it.

"My relationship with him is limited to these three Command Seals..."

Saber murmured.

From beginning to end, Kiritsugu only said three sentences to her.

Every word is a command spell.

From the moment she was summoned to the present world, she and her Master never had a single real conversation.

Kiritsugu didn't even give her a chance to argue.

"I haven't even been able to understand the hearts of those closest to me..."

The Knights of the Round Table who were loyal to her flashed before her eyes.

"Perhaps this is the punishment I, a king who doesn't understand people's hearts, deserve."

A king who doesn't understand human nature was ultimately forced to destroy his only wish by his own Master using Command Seals. If this is the punishment, then it came too late.

It was more than a thousand years too late.

This was her last battle, but she never expected it to end so abruptly.

There was no fateful duel, no brutal battle, only two command seals and a sword light slashing towards his own obsession.

And a Master who never even glanced at her from beginning to end.

Kiritsugu stood amidst the collapsed ruins, watching the Holy Grail's light completely dissipate.

finished!

He completed his final task!

The Holy Grail was destroyed, and the crisis for all humanity was averted.

But... a black sun appeared in the night sky.

It was the Holy Grail that he had shattered; black mud poured out from the breach, flooding Fuyuki City like a burst dam.

"Impossible...this is impossible!"

Kiritsugu stared at everything before him in disbelief.

He completed all the sacrifices.

He killed his father, blew up his foster mother, lied to Kenneth, strangled the will of the Holy Grail, and forced Saber to destroy her only wish with a Command Spell.

His choice was right from beginning to end.

But the Holy Grail's answer: Black mud covered Fuyuki City.

Meanwhile, deep within Eindzbern Castle.

Ilya was suddenly awakened from her dream.

She had a dream that she turned into a cup, a golden cup.

The black mud spread along the Weiyuan River towards the city, landing on the houses, which then began to burn.

It landed on the street, burning bubbling pits into the asphalt.

When it lands on a person, they are turned into charred remains before they can even finish screaming.

Their lives ended the moment the black mud fell.

Kiritsugu knelt on the ruins, watching all of this unfold.

He wanted to save the world.

This is his ideal... This is the result he sacrificed everything for.

"Kiritsugu..."

"I can't take it anymore..."

"Is this the Holy Grail War?"

"I need to take a break..."

Just then, the camera cut to the basement of the Matou family's house, the insect storage area.

Kariya Matou has returned from the battlefield of the Holy Grail War.

His body had completely collapsed. The Crest Worms were wreaking havoc inside him, most of his magic circuits were burned, and he had almost no feeling on the left side of his body.

But with his last bit of strength, he pushed open the iron door of the insect chamber and walked in step by step.

"Sakura...I've come to take you back, Sakura."

Kariya picked up Sakura and walked out of the basement step by step.

The scene shifts, and Kariya reunites with Sakura and Rin.

Yan Ye watched all of this with satisfaction.

"Kariya."

A gentle voice sounded behind Yan Ye.

That sound?

Yan Ye turned her head, and there was Aoi!

The audience's comments flooded in like a tidal wave.

Rin and Sakura both called out in unison, "Papa Kariya!"

By this point, the audience had already realized something was wrong!

"Holy crap, this can't be Kariya's fantasy, right? I remember Aoi never really paid any attention to Kariya."

"It's very possible that when he controlled Lancelot before, Kariya was already half-dead, and now it's probably just a revolving door!"

"I knew it! I knew it! Kariya's idea was too perfect—two lolis plus a married woman!"

Just as the audience expected.

All of this was just Kariya's fantasy before he died.

His breath had already ceased the moment he saw Sakura...

"It really is a revolving door!! I knew it!! I knew it!!!"

"Matou Kariya fought for only one woman his entire life, and in the end, he died in his own illusion."

"Rest in peace, Yan Ye..."

While everyone was still grieving over Kariya's death, the scene shifted to the ruins of the grand theater.

Kirei Kotomine opened his eyes.

"here it is?"

"What a troublesome man."

A lazy voice came from the side.

Kirei Kotomine turned to look and saw Gilgamesh sitting on a pile of rubble next to him.

He was completely naked, leaning casually against a half-buried stone pillar with one leg bent.

His entire demeanor exuded a sense of complete composure, as if being naked was no different from wearing armor to him.

"It took a lot of effort to dig you out of the rubble."

Jin Shanshan's tone still carried a hint of annoyance at the trouble.

Glittering?

Not wearing a single piece?

"Is this something I can watch for free?!"

"Holy crap, isn't this an 16+ anime? It's so explicit!!"

"Ahhhhhh, that shimmering body... *sizzle sizzle sizzle* (IP: Chengdu)"

"Hey upstairs, calm down! You've practically exposed your IP address!!"

"Land of Light, you better release a Blu-ray, uncut version!! I want to savor it frame by frame!!!"

Jin Shanshan, as always, remained indifferent and proceeded to explain on his own.

It turns out that the black mud is not simply a destructive force; it also has the effect of reshaping the physical body.

Gilgamesh was not destroyed in the black mud, but instead used the power of the black mud to create a brand new physical body for himself.

To transform from a heroic spirit into a real human being with a physical body.

This is because Kirei Kotomine had a contractual connection with him during the Holy Grail War.

The black mud flowed back into Kirei's body along the contract, repairing his heart, which had been shattered by Kiritsugu's spear in the final battle, and successfully reviving him.

Kirei Kotomine slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the ruins, and looked at the still burning Fuyuki city in the distance.

The buildings, after being burned with black mud, were billowing with black smoke, and cries and sirens could be heard in the distance.

He watched all this, a slight smile playing on his lips. He finally understood.

It turns out that the pleasure I've been searching for is this—destruction, ruin, cruelty, and despair.

This is what makes me feel alive.

Gilgamesh watched Kirei's changing expressions from the side, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

He will witness the path this man will choose next.

A path that leads to evil.
