In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"O king who acted out of piety, your nightmare is over. Now, wake up and return to your rightful place."

It was just a soft call, yet Lo Wei's palm emitted a faint light. Then, the calamity-inducing black mud wrapped around Lionheart King seemed to be drawn into his palm by some immense suction force, disappearing without a trace at an extremely fast speed.

"Who exactly are you...?"

The enormous, black lion's figure vanished, replaced by a young man with golden hair. He wore metallic armor, white fur adorning his shoulders, and red ribbons. Though young, he exuded a dashing and heroic air.

This was the true face of Richard I, the Lionheart: an incomparably handsome young man.

At this moment, he seemed to have just woken up from an endless nightmare. Although his eyes were filled with doubt, he was also extremely excited when he saw Luo Wei.

“I was just a traveler. Now it’s all over. You should leave, Lionheart.”

Lowe answered calmly.

"...I understand. I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble this time."

Upon hearing Lo Wei's words, the Lionheart King understood immediately. He solemnly knelt on one knee before Lo Wei, performing the most devout ceremony.

At the same time, he looked at Gawain and the Lion King, and felt a surge of emotions.

Although there were still many things he wanted to do and countless words he wanted to say, he was on his deathbed at this moment. His physical body had long since died, and after purifying the evil of this world, he naturally had no medium left. He was now so weak that he could no longer speak.

In the final moments, his eyes were filled with longing and anticipation as he looked at Luo Wei.

And Loewe knew what he longed for.

“No need to speak, I understand. Although you were used as tools to commit evil deeds, you have still stained yourselves with too much blood. Because of your recklessness and ambition, the number of people who died in this singularity is twice as many as expected.” Lowe looked at Richard the Lionheart, his expression serious and his tone somewhat unfriendly: “Fine, you can’t speak anyway, and I’m too lazy to scold you now, lest I get myself involved. Just kill yourself, I grant you permission.”

The mighty Lionheart, a devout Christian, and a formidable enemy who had never truly died, seemed relieved by Rowe's words. He knelt heavily on one knee toward Rowe, stretched out his hand, and swiftly and decisively drew a cross shape in front of him.

Then, Richard the Lionheart stood up quickly, summoned his longsword to his hand again, raised it high, and without hesitation plunged it into the armor of his own chest. This devout believer and valiant king, because of a single word from Lovi, chose what should have been a sinful act of suicide.

Because it was time for him to wake up, this memory and guilt would continue to haunt him, and even returning to the Throne of Heroes would not erase it. He would use everything he had to atone for his sins.

Now, this extremely distorted singularity has lost a major threat; the tentacles belonging to the Magic King have been completely severed.

After seeing Lionheart off, Loewe walked up to the Lion King.

"Now that the demon has vanished, I too must leave Camelot, Lion King."

Before the other party could say anything, Luo Wei spoke first.

"Wh-what are you saying, Crowley!"

“State your reasons, Son of God.”

The Lion King stopped Gawain, and Loewy nodded in gratitude.

"Your Camelot is ultimately an illusion. The Lionheart is a prisoner trapped in the dream of the past, while you are a god who looks forward to an absurd future. You are both wrong."

"Next, I will also bring about a new future in my own way."

In a single, concise sentence, Lo Wei said it all; no further explanation was needed.

"Is this your opinion, Son of God? If this is your wish, then I will consider it carefully. However, is the path you have chosen truly not a dead end?"

"I don't know, but we have to go through it eventually."

Luo Wei's answer showed no sign of confusion.

"Is that so..."

Their conversation abruptly ended as the Lion King swung his holy lance, unleashing a violent storm, but the wind did not falter their steps in the slightest.

"I want to make a covenant with you, Lion King."

"I accept your bet, Son of God."

—Whoosh!

Nothing happened; the Holy Lance that had summoned the storm returned to the Lion King's hands at the last moment.

"Next time, you will be my enemy, and your soul will become my spoils."

"That's quite an arrogant declaration. Well, let's talk about next time then. Since it's a bet, you'd better be careful not to lose yourself to me."

Loewy turned around, put his hood back on, and strode off without hesitation, as if to prove that he was no longer the chosen one of the Lion King.

Now that the overall situation is pretty much settled, all that's left to do is...

Let's do our part to save this bleak world.

Luo Wei clenched his fist and turned to leave, the black muddy water swirling in his palm.

Upon noticing this thing, he couldn't help but look somewhat troubled.

"Bearing the consequences of sins... it's definitely not something you can just talk about..."

As he walked, he suddenly looked up and couldn't help but mutter a sentence to himself. Although he spoke it very softly, only he could hear it, the enormous being that existed in a very, very high place should have heard it very clearly.

"Why not just say it directly... What's the point of all this back and forth? Do you have to make things difficult for others to call it a test?"

Luo Wei said slowly, "Although humans seem useless and complicated, they can still accomplish something when they come together."

"If you insist on testing me, then come on over, and open your eyes wide to see what truly constitutes the work of a human being! My father!"

Loewe's steps forward never cease, for he still has a long journey ahead of him, both now and in the past and in the future.

Suddenly a gentle breeze blew by, raising a cloud of dust that enveloped the departing figure before it vanished. The whole process was silent and without fanfare; there was no awe-inspiring miracle or any sign of angels bidding farewell.

...He left, that's all.

I suddenly had a bold idea!

Regarding the later parts, I feel that it's difficult to innovate by following the rules, so I have a very special idea.

Hehehe, hurry up and finish this volume, the next volume, my work will definitely make the Emperor smile.

Hehehe—

Chapter 200 The Holy Son and the Holy Monk

Not far from the city of Camelot.

The disaster has passed, and on a wasteland that has lost its original pitch-black color and is beginning to sprout tender green shoots again, the Great King, blessed by the [Never-Ending Night], is leading his knights to inspect the situation and prepare to clear out any remaining demons and black mud.

This was the Lion King's order, and also something he wanted to do and confirm.

Before my eyes, on that land filled with death and crime, the seeds of life are developing once again, growing peacefully in the fierce storm overhead. Even though they are constantly swayed by the gale, they still survive tenaciously.

"..."

Standing there, Gao Wen looked at the saplings in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is the world being repaired...?

The singularity, which should have died, has miraculously come back to life.

Recalling how the world, which had almost completely shattered and whom he had given up hope on, had suddenly shown itself again before his eyes, Gawain felt a complex mix of emotions, including a slight sense of...joy.

Rather than supporting the Lion King's escape to the ends of the earth and a new world, as a human, he would naturally prefer to stay in his homeland.

Does the current situation mean that what Loe said is also correct, and that he himself represents a possibility for the world?

"Really... It's wonderful, but it's also a dilemma. You guys really like to give me difficult problems, my friends."

Gao Wen sighed wistfully, then scratched his head, looked up at the sky that was clearer than ever before, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his handsome face.

“In that case… let me see the future you’ve chosen, Crowley.”

Just as Gawain was experiencing mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, the Black Knight, who was squatting in the rift of evil in this world and leading people to check the situation there, also had different thoughts.

"It's more accurate to say that it's a purification than a destruction of demons and calamities... It's truly remarkable. Even the Tripitaka Master only managed to save a small portion of the calamities. This time, he actually purified both the demons and the root of the curse. It's unimaginable. It can only be called a miracle."

"Gawain, what exactly happened during the week I was gone? It shouldn't have had such an effect if it was just the Lion King throwing the Holy Lance."

After inspecting the crack, the black-armored knight, Ironblood Agravivan, immediately ordered his knights to bring sand to fill and seal it. He then questioned Gawain, one of the knights involved.

"It's a miracle, but more of a redemption... Lionheart has finally been freed and returned to the Throne of Heroes. The dead have gone to Heaven or the underworld they each desire. All souls have found their own home. The curses and calamities accumulated in this land have disappeared. But—Agrave, the sins we have committed have not yet been repaid."

"The Lion King said that this world was beyond saving, which is why he chose to give up and go to the end of the world. But now that the world's resilience has been shown to us, is it really necessary to give up on this world again?"

"Are you questioning the Lion King's decision, Gawain?"

Agguivin's tone was unfriendly, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Gawain's current wavering.

"No, I was just thinking about this important question. Wang has also stopped the Holy Bachelor project. I wonder if she is also hoping to get the answer to this question?"

Despite being questioned, Gao Wen remained calm.

Despite his inner turmoil, his actions remained unchanged. After all, he was the first knight to kill his brother Gareth, and also the knight who sacrificed Gareth to kill the Lionheart. His body was already tainted with sin, and the label of "injustice" was already on him, never to be washed away.

He then proceeded to kill many: the mountain people, the Pharaoh's monsters, the people of Jerusalem, and refugees who had not passed the selection process.

Since receiving the blessing to become the Lion King's blade, and having killed so many, his war has never ceased. He has no complaints; his purpose in existing is to become the Gate of Camelot, defending against all invaders who attempt to harm the Lion King.

But when he saw the true face of the Lionheart King, and the vengeful spirits of those he had killed turned into calamities that nearly engulfed the entire Camelot, he truly wavered... Especially when faced with countless vengeful spirits demanding his life, Gawain couldn't help but recall the Buddhist teachings that the Tripitaka Master had given him in Camelot.

'As you sow, so shall you reap; all things are created by the mind.'

'Good and evil deeds are rewarded accordingly, fortune and misfortune follow one another; one must bear the consequences oneself, no one can take one's place.'

Gawain, who wasn't very bright to begin with, didn't quite understand these words. But when he saw them with his own eyes, he realized how awful he was, how he had unknowingly created such karmic obstacles.

Although Lowe freed them at the last moment and the curse of the Lionheart was lifted, he knew that no one could bear his karma for him.

In the future, I, Camelot, or the Lion King will surely face my own retribution.

There's nothing to say about this, and there's nothing to run away from, because it's unavoidable.

Although it's unknown what the Lion King thought after witnessing that scene, Gawain felt that her resolute heart had indeed wavered because of Loewy.

The Holy Spirit contains the Old Testament and the New Testament, both of which are covenants between man and God. I myself witnessed a covenant between man and God. Although it was not explained, when the covenant was established, Gawain couldn't help but think of a certain word.

—The Creation of the Covenant.

This is truly remarkable; the miracles of the Holy Spirit are once again walking in this world.

Moreover, Gawain inexplicably felt that there was a reason why his friend could fascinate the king of another world; perhaps he really could save the fallen Lion King whom he was currently serving.
