Irisviel narrowed her eyes, then glared fiercely at Lovi and said, "I will reclaim the magic you stole, and drag your soul into the evil of this world to corrupt it, making you nourishment for its evil as well!!"

"Oh? You want to assimilate my soul? Fine... provided you can do it."

"You're just a mere human, nothing more than a despicable thief. What are you so smug about?"

As her words fell, the black mud that had been flowing in the stadium boiled up completely once again, and Irisviel's figure turned into a puddle of black mud, suddenly surrounding Rowe.

"This is bad!"

This scene horrified Kiritsugu Emiya, who immediately drew his pistol and fired, attempting to stop the black mud from engulfing Lovi. However, the bullet pierced through the black mud in an instant, having no effect whatsoever. Lovi's figure, along with Irisviel, disappeared into the black mud in the next moment.

Only the four people present remained, each displaying a different expression, awaiting the outcome.

……

"Then, make your choice, Rowe Crowley..."

"Here you will see everything that belongs to your life, and you will make your choices again... Wait, what choices?"

In the pitch-black Holy Grail War chamber, Irisviel delivered her almost unchanging opening remarks as always, smiling as she looked at Lovi before her. Her intention was to use the malice of this world, along with countless choices and a heavy past, just as she had done with Kiritsugu Emiya, to crush and torment him.

However, when she finished her opening remarks and was about to do so, she found that the surrounding environment did not distort or change as she had expected; it remained completely empty. This left Irisviel stunned. She repeatedly raised her arms, trying to summon the painful memories hidden in Lovi's heart, but she found that no matter what she did, she could not use the same trick as she had with Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya.

"What on earth is going on?!"

After several unsuccessful attempts, Irisviel finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked at the young man in front of her, whose expression remained unchanged, and questioned him, "Why don't you have any painful or regretful memories? Has there never been anything in your life that you regret?!"

"Things I regret..."

Upon hearing her question, Luo Wei thoughtfully stroked his chin and then asked her in return.

"Does it count if I forget to put sausage in my instant noodles, forget to use discount coupons when I buy things, or fail to take proper precautions when doing magic experiments, causing chaos in the teacher's classroom because of my familiar?"

"...What regrettable things are these?"

Upon hearing Lowell's answer, Irisviel felt that Lowell was playing a trick on her, and she questioned him with a puzzled look.

"Where are your parents? Why don't you feel any remorse for what happened to them? Their deaths should be your biggest source of grief! Wasn't your obsession with magic solely because of their deaths?! You participated in the Holy Grail War not for them..."

"Hey, you actually read my parents' information?" Lowe's expression was a little strange as he listened to Irisviel's shouting.

He hadn't expected that this guy could actually read some of his memories. However, at this moment, it seemed that what the evil could read was only the memories of Luo Wei from the past, and not the memories of his own soul.

Moreover, since he arrived in this world, his rebellious parents had already died somewhere in the rainforest. His memories of them were limited to those few recollections; where would he get any real feelings for them? As for the original Lo Wei…

That guy was an absolute freak of nature. His parents had just died, and he couldn't help but use his family head authority to study the Book of Law left by Aleister, to the point that he sacrificed his soul, possibly summoning himself to it. As for where his soul, as a sacrifice, went, Rowe himself doesn't know.

In short, that family either brought this upon themselves or brought it upon themselves; it had absolutely nothing to do with Lowe himself, so of course he had no regrets. The only people in this world he cared about were Kenneth, his teacher who had spent the most time with him and had raised him like a son, his nemesis junior brother Webber, and a few friends like Orange.

But this time, thanks to his masterful management, Kenneth was unharmed, Webber resolved his inner conflict, and Orange got what he wanted. He could be said to have done everything perfectly, so there was nothing to regret.

"You... that's right, oh, I see. You're different from Kiritsugu. You're a complete magician, a monster without humanity. It's normal for you to be emotionally detached."

As Irisviel relentlessly perused every detail hidden in Lowell's memories, and after repeated verification, discovered that Lowell remained remarkably indifferent to each and every one of them, she finally broke down completely.

She couldn't help but wonder, where did this cold-blooded creature come from?

"Since that's the case, then let's not make any choices at all. Let me just devour your soul!"

However, after several unsuccessful attempts, this doubt turned into disgust.

Unlike Kiritsugu Emiya, Irisviel didn't really want to see Loei make any choices or answers. She just wanted to see Loei forced into a state of painful begging for mercy to slightly satisfy her own desires. But in essence, she wanted to devour his soul along with the stolen magic power in the end.

So even if we fail, there's nothing to regret; it was just a pastime anyway. Right now, let's devour his soul and then control the evil of this world to teach humanity a harsh lesson!

"Just die already, you damned thief!!"

Irisviel looked at Rowe with disgust, then gently lowered her hand and gave a vicious command in a voice full of hatred.

An invisible curse surged toward Rowe, who was standing there, but it had no effect.

It's as if Loewy had a natural blessing and immunity to curses.

“I can understand how you feel. After all, in a sense, you are quite pitiful as someone who is misunderstood and labeled as Angolan Manuel. If possible, we can have a good talk.”

"Talk my ass! I have nothing to talk to you damned humans!!"

Irisviel stared wide-eyed, completely ignoring Lowell's suggestion. She continued to cast curses with malice, but found that when her attacks struck Lowell's soul, they were like a few grains of sugar thrown into a pot of boiling water, melting away in the blink of an eye and having no effect whatsoever.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"What do you think happened?"

Looking at Irisviel's increasingly distorted face, Lovi asked calmly. To be honest, he didn't think her face was particularly ugly or twisted. In fact, anyone who knew a little about what Angra Mainyu had gone through could understand why he hated humanity so much.

Innocent monsters, victims of humanity.

They were unauthorized to be given the name of an evil god, to bear the evil of mankind, to lose their own lives and meanings, to be nothing more than sacrifices, and thus to die.

Originally, after his death, he had fallen into a deep sleep along with the malice of humanity. However, the Einzbern family used his original texts to forcibly awaken and summon this innocent monster, and then pushed him to participate in the Holy Grail War, just to satisfy their desires. As a collection of evil human desires, he could not return to the Throne of Heroes even after death. He could only be trapped in the Holy Grail to fulfill the wish imposed on him by countless humans. After experiencing so much torment, he could only take revenge on humanity as a manifestation of malice.

You could say he was quite tragic. His life, from before he died until now, has been one of constant torment, to the point that he has lost his sense of self and can only writhe incessantly as malice, cursing humanity. That is the meaning behind his twisted existence.

He cannot act without evil and hatred, and he cannot survive without taking revenge on humanity.

So at times like this, if anyone tries to have a proper talk with him, saying things like, "Shh, can we reconcile?" Angolan Manuel will definitely snap the other person's abnormal head without hesitation and then show him with his actions whether or not they can reconcile.

"Impossible! I clearly used all my strength this time, how come I haven't killed you yet? Hurry up... be hacked to death, burned to death, shot to death, crushed to death, drowned—!!!"

Numerous swords and blades appeared out of thin air beside and above Luo Wei, but they all turned into specks of light when they struck him.

He stomped the suddenly lit fire flat with one foot.

He casually slapped the falling road roller away.

The bullets bounced off him the moment they hit him, scattering everywhere, with a few even piercing straight through Irisviel's head.

As for the raised water level, Luo Wei was able to cross it without any hesitation by wading across it.

"What...what kind of monster are you?!"

Seeing that Lowe had endured such torture yet his body remained completely unharmed, Irisviel's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously.

"Monster? No, I am human... just not from this world. Merlin, Gilgamesh, and the old man with the gem I met recently all call me an outsider or a foreigner, so my soul may be slightly different from that of people in your world."

"After all, you might not know that in your worldview, there has always been a famous saying. Want to know?"

"...Outsider...you, what exactly are you...?"

Irisviel's pupils began to tremble violently as a terrifying thought surfaced in her mind: if it were true, then it would mean that no matter what he did, he could not cause any real harm to Rowe.

"In your worldview, there's a joke that aliens are the bosses and most of the locals are beggars. It may sound absurd, but it's actually true."

"So when you judge me by the scale and strength of the human souls in your world, you have already made a huge mistake. You should regard me as a special Outer God."

Lo Wei thoughtfully revealed the answer to her.

The answer to why Irisviel cannot harm Loewy has also been revealed.

The problem wasn't with Irisviel or the evil of this world, but with Loewy; his soul's level and strength were far too high.

Mystery will yield to a higher mystery.

As for Lovi, who comes from another world and other universes, he completely exceeds the limits of this world's rules for mystery. He can be said to be the most top-level and vast mystery. Trying to kill or devour him with the soul attack of the evil of this world is a joke from beginning to end.

"Calm down first. Although I understand how you feel right now, your desire to kill me is genuine, so I'm going to let you calm down before I purify you."

As he spoke, Luo Wei slowly raised his right hand and then made a strange 'slap slap slap!' sound.

"you……"

Irisviel's eyes narrowed, as if she had noticed something.

"Don't worry, I realize that you don't seem to have a proper understanding of the concept of the Outsider and me. Since you can attack me in the spiritual world, I can naturally influence you as well. So I'm going to use my own methods to help you fill in the gaps in your understanding of me, and in this way, I can also use my own methods to convince you."

"No—no!!"

"Let me make it clear beforehand, the real me is not what I'm about to show you, and I am completely different from what I'm about to show you. I just feel that I should teach you a lesson and calm you down completely. Then, to cooperate with the purification, I have to show you something that is intimidating. Let me think about what would be appropriate to show you... Outer God? ORT? Goetia or Crimson Moon? Hmm... As for Black Mud, I've got it. I'll show you that one."

Luo Wei pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

He then began to channel his own soul, transmitting his thoughts and understanding into the other person's mind.

"No, you can't do that! That thing... get out of my mind right now!! Don't let me see that thing!!!"

Soon, in Irisviel's sight, Lovi's body began to melt, turning into a pool of black liquid that flowed onto the ground. The pool of liquid he had turned into quickly spread out rapidly, covering an area of ​​several hundred meters. Then, the black liquid began to writhe and expand rapidly, slowly forming a huge figure tens of meters tall, approaching human form.

No, that's not human!

Although she appears remarkably human, she possesses enormous, strange dragon horns, and her fair skin is covered with unique blue scales. She has distinctive star-shaped eyes, and exudes a maternal instinct and absolute dominance. In the instant she appears, all the evils of this world that were originally surrounding Irisviel begin to flow uncontrollably toward this 'mother'.

It looks similar to a human, but it is definitely not a human.

Furthermore, what appears here is not the real entity, nor even a projection; at best, it is merely a bubble appearing in one's imagination.

However, this is sufficient for most purposes.

It was by utilizing the absolute status and soul strength of the Descendant that Lowe was able to recreate the true form of this mother here.

"Aaaaaaa————"

The colossal mother opened her mouth, her starry eyes gleaming with dazzling light. Beneath her imposing body, countless black waves surged forth, their scale far surpassing any so-called evil in this world. In an instant, the tide of creation engulfed Irisviel and everything she relied upon.

“Angola Mainyu, I wonder how your so-called evil of this world compares to the Sea of ​​Life of Tiamat, the mother of creation and one of the seven evils of mankind?”

Irisviel, or rather the evil of this world, did not answer, or rather, did not have time to answer.

The black mud surrounding it was completely swallowed up in the blink of an eye by the sea of ​​life.

The colossal Primordial Mother did not actively pursue them; in fact, she only appeared for a fleeting moment before vanishing completely.

However, the changes brought about by her appearance did not disappear. Although it was still the same Holy Grail space, the black mud had obviously been largely eliminated under the wash of the Sea of ​​Life, and Angra Mainyu, who had originally existed in the form of Irisviel, revealed his true form at this moment.

However, his body had been shattered by the impact, and it was very difficult for him to even maintain his form. This was the result of the backlash he suffered from his attempt to destroy a descendant on a spiritual level.

Well, that's about it.

The melted body reassembled, and Lovi's figure replaced the fleeting Primal Mother. He clenched his hands to make sure nothing unusual had happened before scanning the Grail space again.

At this moment, the black mud and malice had been washed away by the Sea of ​​Life. In the entire space, the only real life left was him and Angolan Manuel, who was lying on the ground with his brain moving.

"Although I feel very sorry for what you've been through, but..."

"You are still my enemy."

Looking at him lying on the ground, Luo Wei took a deep breath.

"Humans are indeed malicious creatures. They will fight endlessly for their own desires, even if it means violating the rules and the principles of nature, just like the depravity of Machiri Zorgen."
