"Damn Lancer!"

Feeling the damage done by the sword of the Zhanlu to his body, Goetia wanted to attack. But then he found that Yue Fei had already withdrawn from this Holy Grail War. As a result, the Zhanlu that had severely injured Goetia also gradually disappeared. But even though the Zhanlu disappeared, the damage it had brought to Goetia remained. Although this damage could not force Goetia to withdraw, it gave Saber the opportunity to attack!

At the moment when Lancer decided to sacrifice himself to create an opportunity, Saber had already begun to prepare for the release of the true name of the holy sword in her hand. When Istaru was pierced by Zhanlu, the holy sword in Saber's hand had already bloomed with holy light. All of this coordination was so seamless, as if Saber and Lancer had practiced the tactical coordination many times.

But in fact, Saber and Lancer did not have much contact in this Holy Grail War. She was just like Lancer, from the perspective of a decision maker, and she instantly understood Lancer's will to sacrifice himself.

……

"Sir Lancelot is a knight who was raised by the Fairy of the Lake. Although he has a noble character, he has a shortcoming, which is that he is out of touch with the world. In this respect, he is actually very similar to Mordred, so they both ended up standing on the opposite side of me."

In the Einzbern castle, Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu said:

"They are both very simple and persistent. This kind of personality makes them noble, but also makes them easy to be taken advantage of."

After hearing Saber’s comments, Irisviel couldn’t help but ask curiously:

"What exactly does it mean to be aloof from worldly matters?"

"It's very simple. Let's take the famous modern train problem as an example!" Saber explained:

"Suppose there is a steam train running at 100 miles per hour, and there is a fork in the road ahead. There are two children playing on the right road, and there are five idle hooligans on the left road. At this time, as the conductor, what choice will you make?"

After saying this, Emiya Kiritsugu directly said:

"Go left and crush those five idle thugs!"

Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's answer, Saber said in surprise:

"That's surprising, Kiritsugu. I thought you would choose the right direction!"

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head helplessly upon hearing this:

"Do you think I can only make a simple comparison of numbers? Compared to those five idle thugs, the life of a child is of course more precious."

Then, Saber looked at Irisviel and heard her ask back:

"Can't we just stop the train?"

"Besides, doesn't the train have a whistle? If the conductor blows the whistle, it should make the people on both sides move away, right? In this way, no one will be killed."

After hearing Irisviel’s question, Saber nodded:

"Irisviel, your answer is good, but have you ever thought about one thing? Is it possible that after hearing the train whistle, these hooligans not only did not choose to leave the railway track, but instead raised their teeth and claws at the oncoming train, using all means to hinder the train's movement, just to turn the train's direction so that it would not hit them, but instead run over the children on the other side?"

“How could there be such a person? He must be crazy!” Irisviel said in disbelief.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already understood the meaning of Saber's question, said:

"No, such people do exist. Not only do they exist, but there are quite a few of them!"

At this time, Saber also explained:

"If Britain back then is compared to a train that never stops, then I, as the king, am the conductor of the train. There are two paths before me. One is to the left, to maintain Britain's path forward by damaging the interests of the knights and other nobles; the other is to the right, to maintain Britain's speed of progress by damaging the interests of the common people. Now you should understand why some people are trying their best to hinder the train's movement and make it turn around!"

"Reality is not a simple train problem. Reality is often more cruel than a train problem!" Emiya Kiritsugu analyzed:

"The train in reality is moving forward along time, and there is no possibility of slowing down or stopping. If you don't make a decision at the most appropriate time, the train will derail and usher in a huge disaster. Whether the train in reality goes left or right, it will crush a large number of people. This is inevitable."

"So, sacrifice in reality is inevitable. When building a bridge, someone will fall into the river and drown; when smelting iron, someone will fall into the furnace and burn to death. Any path forward is made of corpses. And there is one thing that is extremely ironic about this cruel reality. In reality, the most humble civilians are often the easiest to be sacrificed, but they are willing to accept this sacrifice."

"On the contrary, those who are rich, powerful and in a high position often only need to sacrifice their wealth and power, but they are naturally resistant to sacrifice, as if it were their life. It is precisely this group of people who are high up and rarely sacrificed who like to advocate the theory that no one should be sacrificed."

……

Reality is so ironic.

People of humble origins accept sacrifice because they have nothing but their lives.

People of noble birth are against sacrifice because they do not want to lose many things, including their lives.

Yue Fei was born in a humble family, and so was Saber. So both of them recognized the concept of sacrifice, and could instantly understand the concept of sacrificing for victory in the war. So when Yue Fei decided to sacrifice himself, Saber was already prepared.

There is no hesitation, no confusion, only a firm final blow!

Chapter 218: The Stigma of the Country

Golden magic gushed out from the Sword of Promised Victory, but Goetia, who was severely injured by Zhanlu, had no way to stop it. She could only let the light engulf her, and Goetia herself was gradually decomposed in the light.

As Goetia left the stage, the Holy Grail he created also collapsed, and the souls of the heroes originally stored in the Holy Grail began to gather towards the Holy Grail in Irisviel's body according to the original process of the Holy Grail War. However, at the moment when the souls of these heroes gathered in Irisviel's body, several black figures suddenly appeared beside Irisviel.

That's Assassin!

As the most mysterious party in this Holy Grail War, Assassin, led by Kiara Sesshōin, finally took action. And as soon as he took action, he killed Irisviel. It should be noted that Irisviel had just fought a battle with Olga Marie, and she had consumed a lot of energy. She also received the souls of several small Holy Grails in her body, and was in the weakest state.

Facing Assassin's sneak attack, she had no power to resist. Olga Marie on the other side saw Irisviel being attacked by Assassin and then teleported to the underground of Mount Enzo by Sesshōin Kiara's magic, and immediately wondered:

“This familiar magic… Sesshōin Kiara? It must be this bastard! I wonder why she would send this soul from another world into the interior of Mount Enzo. What exactly is she trying to do?”

Meanwhile, in Mt. Yuanzang, the mysterious black shadow had already controlled almost all the evil in the world and was about to break out of the mountain. But at this moment, Irisviel fell into the black mud.

Damn it, what the hell is going on?

Suddenly, Irisviel came to the inner part of Mount Enzo from Ryudo Temple. Irisviel didn't understand what was going on for a while, and fell into the black mud of the evil of this world. Then, the black mud, which symbolized the malice of mankind, began to erode Irisviel, who was the Little Holy Grail, according to its instinct. However, Irisviel's own personality was not afraid of the erosion of the evil of this world, but made the existence called the evil of this world feel instinctive fear.

At this time, in Marisbilly's arms, Olga Marie also used the Beast job's clairvoyance skill to check the situation in Yuanzang Mountain. She saw a giant eye symbolizing chaos staring wide open in the mountains. The endless power carried in it scared Olga Marie, who possessed the status of an alien god.

"This is Chaos, the God of Chaos!"

“I see! Did Sesshōin Kiara want to use the souls from another world to suppress Chaos? Unfortunately, it seems he failed. Chaos has already taken over most of the black mud of evil. Even Irisviel from that other world cannot stop Chaos from coming.”

"What did you say? Chaos is coming?" Malisbili, who was standing by, was also surprised when he heard the name of Chaos.

As one of the monarchs of the Clock Tower, Malisbili naturally knew about the existence of Chaos. It was one of the ceilings of the Type-Moon world, a space-time fortress that could destroy planets at will and was powerful enough to crush the evil of mankind.

"It seems that due to the fusion with the time-space gap, Chaos's erosion of this era is far greater than the evil of us humans!" Olga Marie analyzed:

"Chaos had long been hiding in the body of Alexander the Great, waiting for the death of Alexander as a Rider. Then, it used Alexander's soul to directly seize control of the evil in this world. Obviously, it has succeeded now!"

“What will happen after it succeeds?”

Holding Olga Marie, Marisbili hurriedly evacuated from the shaking Enzo Mountain. Feeling the majesty coming from the underground, Marisbili asked worriedly.

"Perhaps, like in a certain future trajectory, they will directly plunder 37% of the matter on this planet and use it as fuel to fly to the sea of stars!"

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing Olga Marie's analysis, Marisbilly immediately opened his mouth wide.

"Is there any way to stop it?"

Olga Marie shook her head and said:

“Chaos is a nearly invincible existence that stands above us beasts of sin. Even if Goetia had accumulated all the magic power in human history, it might not be able to compete with Chaos. And in the future trajectory, it was Chaldea, assisted by the Grand Lancers, that stopped it. And even with Chaldea’s powerful lineup of Heroic Spirits, it only cut off Chaos’ connection with this planet, and did not truly defeat it!”

Hearing this, Malisbil gritted his teeth and said:

"So, there is absolutely no way to stop it, right?"

"At least as far as I know, there is no way to defeat Chaos..."

At this point, Olga Marie was startled, as if thinking about something, and then said:

"By the way, Saber, the holy sword in her hand is an anti-star treasure, right?"

Malisbil heard this and said:

"Mary, do you mean that the anti-star Noble Phantasm in Saber's hand can fight against Chaos?"

Olga Marie nodded and said:

"It should be possible. After all, anti-planetary phantasms are the pinnacle of all phantasms. They are miracles forged by the planet, and are powerful enough to destroy the existence of the planet itself! If we gather everyone's strength and maximize the power of anti-planetary phantasms, we may be able to cut off Chaos' connection with this space-time before it completely descends."

Hearing that Olga Marie, the alien god, was actually trying her best to come up with ideas for the Earth in this time and space, Malisbil was puzzled again:

"As the god of an alien planet, the life and death of us Earthlings should have nothing to do with you, right? Why are you helping us at such a critical moment?"

Olga Marie smiled and said:

"Father, you're right. Didn't I say this before? The reason I came to this era is just to become the real Olga Marie, to become the de facto head of Chaldea, and to let human history develop under my will. I have never thought of destroying humanity, let alone the planet."

"Besides, I am not only the God of an alien planet, but also the Beast of Original Sin, representing the evil side of humanity. As one of the characteristics of human nature, I certainly cannot watch humanity perish."

After hearing Olga Marie's explanation, Malisbilly thought for a moment and then said:

"If your method can really save this planet this time, I don't mind letting you become the director of Chaldea after I create Chaldea in the future!"

The two of them discussed the relevant details while they found Saber and others at the Matou residence. Looking at Olga Marie, who was lying in Marisbilly's arms with scars all over her body, Moro immediately pointed at her and said with a smile:

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to have such an embarrassing day!"

Seeing this, Tiamat also smiled and said:

"You really look like a little baby right now, so cute! Do you want to come to your mother's arms and cuddle for a while?"

Olga Marie was furious when she heard the ridicule from her colleagues. She shouted angrily:

"You two guys, you still have time to joke around here! If the Earth in this time and space is destroyed by Chaos, it will inevitably affect the future of countless parallel worlds. By then, not only me, but you too will suffer heavy losses! Come here quickly, let's protect the Earth together."

Hearing that Olga Marie, the alien god, was actually going to protect the Earth and even ask other beasts of original sin to act to protect the Earth, everyone present looked as if they had never seen anything like it before. However, Olga Marie looked as if she was not surprised at all and said to Saber:

"Now, our last hope is Saber's anti-star Noble Phantasm. My idea is that as the beasts of original sin, we can attach ourselves to Saber at the same time, and let Saber obtain the status of a complete beast of original sin. Then, let Saber, who is roughly equivalent to an original beast of sin, wield the anti-star Noble Phantasm in her hand. The power that will be unleashed may be able to interrupt Chaos's arrival."

After hearing Olga Marie's suggestion, the others left it alone, but Moruo asked first:

“Are you kidding me? Saber is not a Grand Heroic Spirit. Her spirit base can only bear a limited amount of power. If we attach ourselves to Saber at the same time, how can she, an ordinary Heroic Spirit, possibly bear it? Aren’t you worried that Saber will become the new Beast of Sin?”

"Even if a new beast of sin appears, it's better than Chaos coming!"

Unlike Morro, Tiamat agreed to Olgamari's proposal:

“No matter how evil the Beast of Original Sin is, it is still a part of humanity. Chaos is a space-time fortress on an alien planet. It poses a much greater threat to humanity than the Beast of Original Sin. Moreover, I believe in Saber’s will. She, who can control anti-planetary treasures, will definitely be able to take on our status!”

Seeing that there was no other way, Emiya Kiritsugu, Marisbury and others also agreed to Olga Marie's proposal. As the core of this operation, Saber had already held the holy sword in her hand, waiting for the arrival of the beast of original sin.

Then Moro walked to Saber’s side, put his right hand on Saber’s body and said:

"Among the three beasts of original sin, I am the only one with half a body, so the pressure on me should be the least. Now, let me descend upon you first!"

Saber nodded firmly upon hearing this.

Then, a purple, corrupted light shone from the body of Moro, and slowly moved from Matou Sakura to Saber. Feeling the erosion of human evil, Saber instinctively wanted to use her job's anti-magic skills to remove the erosion from her body. But when she thought that this was the power to save the world, Saber finally suppressed her instinct to resist and chose to accept this power.

Everyone saw Saber's body gradually dyed gray and black under the erosion of Moro, and the purple of desire appeared on the blue and white skirt armor. After losing the attachment of Moro, Matou Sakura stumbled and fell to the ground, and was quickly picked up by Tiamat and put aside.

"How is it, Saber, can you still hold on?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

Saber felt the power and malice in her body and nodded;

"good."

And from within Saber’s body, the voice of Morro’s corruption could be heard:

“Not bad, Saber is stronger than I thought! If I had known, I would have chosen to have the Holy Grail War fall directly on her this time!”

Then, Tiamat also stretched out her hand and began to transfer the attachment. Compared to the half-body of Moro, Tiamat's magic power and status were obviously much stronger. With Tiamat's intervention, Saber felt that the overwhelming hatred and resentment entered her mind, corroding and distorting her thinking.

“How’s it going, Saber?”

Looking at Saber, who was now filled with desire and hatred, Marisbilly couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Saber nodded and said firmly:

"continue!"

Upon hearing this, Marisbilly carried Olga Marie to Saber and let the last beast of original sin attach itself to Saber's body.

At this moment, in Saber's spiritual world.

After Olga Marie entered this world, she saw that Mara and Tiamat had been waiting there. The three of them felt each other's thoughts and consciousness, and smiled helplessly. They had only one meaning to each other: I didn't expect that we humans would be able to merge into one day.

Opposite the three, Saber's consciousness closed her eyes tightly as she was eroded by human evil, as if she was slowly savoring the malice of humans. Only after the three beasts of original sin attached themselves to her at the same time did Saber's spirit open its eyes.

Looking at Saber's clear eyes, Moro said in surprise:

“I can’t believe that you can still maintain your sanity despite bearing the malice of the three of us at the same time! Even if the three of us are just young creatures that have traveled across time and space, your endurance is too strong!”

Saber shook her head when she heard this:

"It's not that I have a strong tolerance, but as a king, I have long understood that the so-called good and evil are just the collective subconscious of the people. The king should control good and evil, rather than being controlled by good and evil. Moreover, through my feelings and understanding just now, I found that the so-called evil is not a purely bad thing for humans."

"Whether it's the joy represented by Mara, the motherhood represented by Tiamat, or the prosperity represented by the alien god, they all have positive aspects for human civilization. In some ways, it's not an exaggeration to call your role a good for mankind. In this case, how could I lose myself because of you?"

"As expected of the one chosen by the Sword of Savior, Saber, you truly have the magnanimity to wield an anti-star Noble Phantasm!"
