Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Estimated stabilization time... 10 minutes"

Can I hang on for ten minutes?

It’s not enough, or rather, it’s too much.

After all, if Shul hadn't attached a magic to the [Piercer] that allowed the target to remain immortal, Amakusa Shiro, who had his heart pierced, would have died on the spot.

Otherwise, how could he still be conscious like he is now?

“…why…why…would you…do this…”

Now, Amakusa doesn't even have the strength to speak, and he looks extremely miserable and pitiful.

As the culprit who caused all this, Xiuer just observed the other person's physical condition calmly and indifferently.

I didn't know what the other party was asking specifically, so I just thought they were asking why I wanted to disrupt the Holy Grail War. After all, everyone else thought so too and asked the same question.

"..."

Xiuer didn't answer.

Seeing that Shuul was still silent, Amakusa Shiro's eyes were filled with "fatigue" and "reluctance".

After all, the reason he participated in the Holy Grail War was to realize his own wish, and for this, he had been preparing for a full sixty years.

He was once one of the Servants in the Third Holy Grail War, but in that "war", his Master fell before him. However, fighting alone, he was able to come into contact with the Greater Holy Grail before it was taken away, and was able to [reincarnate] and remain in this world.

After that, he received help from a supervisor of the Holy Church at that time and entered the church's power. His sixty years of preparation were completed by virtue of his position.

Until today, the Holy Grail has returned, and he is determined to obtain it. He has finally achieved his wish and is able to participate in the long-awaited Holy Grail War.

However, the final result is...

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, an unknown third party appeared out of nowhere and intervened, disrupting the entire "ritual" while "wiping out" both sides of the "war".

Are those people another group coming for the Holy Grail?

Amakusa Shiro didn't know, but he believed it so firmly.

"You... want the Holy Grail. What... do you want to do...?"

Ok?

I still have the energy to speak.

His hand had already touched Amakusa's head, and before he was about to cast "magic", Xuer heard the person in front of him asking questions that seemed to be before his death.

Just when the former thought that his "problem" had once again been resolved and was giving a wry smile, a cold and ethereal voice suddenly floated into his ears.

"I'm confused. Why do you think I came here for the Greater Holy Grail?"

Finally, until now, any words that Amakusa Shiro said to the other party finally received a response.

Shuul's sudden reply surprised Amakusa for a moment.

I actually replied at this time.

"...?"

Xiuer looked at Amakusa who was stunned by his words, and he was also confused by the other party's reaction.

Although he was also confused, his hands did not slow down at all. A bright golden pentagram magic circle appeared in Xuer's hand and hovered between his palm and Amakusa's head.

The increasingly bright light of the magic circle was like a death warrant, quickly bringing the stunned Tiancao back to his senses.

Listening to Shuul's voice without any emotion, Amakusa's expression was on the verge of collapse.

“What a joke…”

In Amakusa's opinion, Shuul is still pretending to be stupid and telling lies.

He wanted to be angry, but his tired body didn't allow him to put in any more energy.

"Oh no, I can't even maintain consciousness..."

At this moment, Amakusa has realized that his death is approaching, but if it ends like this...

I'm not willing to give in...

The silent complaints naturally went unnoticed by Xuer, who just quickly carried out the "work" at hand.

hum-

Feeling something was rapidly invading his brain, he had no idea what the other party was going to do.

Amakusa no longer had the energy to care about anything else.

"So sleepy..."

Seeing this, Xiuer no longer considered anything else. After all, Amakusa was almost a "dead person" in every aspect at this moment.

However, before experiencing [Incarnation], in his judgment, the Servants, as individuals, also belonged to the category of "dead people". After all, these Servants were "dead people" themselves, allowing Shuul to attack them without any worries.

As the "memories" were read, Shuul began to absorb memories about Shiro Amakusa.

Countless images, countless sounds, and countless perceptions were introduced into Xuer's mind.

The story of the prodigy named Masuda Tokisada, later Amakusa Tokisada... The feeling of having his faith condemned as "heresy"... The joy of achieving numerous strategic victories on the battlefield... The wish he made to "God" before his death...

Ok……

It seemed that he used too much force and actually "read" all of the other person's memories.

After quickly reviewing the scenes of the young man named Amakusa Tokisada during his lifetime, Shuul finally "read" the content he wanted most.

During this period, the expression on Amakusa's face was already filled with "reluctance".

……

hum...

It didn't take long. Shuul only used 62 seconds to "read" Amakusa's entire life, including his experiences after becoming a Servant.

After all, for him, dealing with "useless information" is very convenient.

When he dispersed the magic circle, Amakusa Shiro's condition had returned to "peace".

The heart was pierced, there was excessive blood loss, extensive burns all over the body, extensive internal organ damage, and brain damage caused by Shuul using "magic" to forcibly read the brain's memory.

According to common sense, it is already "no way to save the situation".

Standing up, Xiuer looked down at Amakusa Shiro, who was almost motionless and only had a few breaths left.

Until this moment, the flames all around remained burning fiercely, with no signs of dying down.

Shuul, who already knew all of this person's memories, naturally also knew of his desire to participate in the Holy Grail War.

To save all of humanity, even at the cost of his own life...?

How to say it, putting aside other things, in Shul's opinion, Amakusa is a good person with ambitions and ideals, and his wishes and starting point are indeed good.

but……

Before this, Shul had already analyzed the Holy Grail and therefore knew how the Holy Grail "worked" to fulfill wishes.

Amakusa Shiro's wish is indeed "grand," but if he really uses the Holy Grail to fulfill that wish...

Then the human beings on this planet will suffer a "catastrophe", or at least it will be a world-destroying disaster for ordinary people.

The wish is beautiful, but the result is against "human nature".

However, Xiuer would not comment on other people's choices. After all, no matter what others did, as long as it did not involve himself, it had nothing to do with him.

Now that things here are over, there is no value in staying here any longer.

Thinking of this, Xuer turned his head and walked towards the space channel that had just opened.

Da da……

He stepped into the passage, and from then on, Xuul's figure disappeared in the golden vortex.

The red flames that were originally burning fiercely around began to extinguish rapidly as the battle ended.

The air remained unbearably hot.

……

5: 10AM

hum-

A golden vortex emerged at a critical point.

Xuul's figure walked out, and then he saw the "Xul" gathered together.

And Avisbronn standing with a group of "Shors".

Xiuer:?

Confused, he walked slowly towards them.

However, after all, the place where Xiuer came out was only fifty meters away from the clones, so his appearance here had naturally been noticed by the clones long ago.

However, just after he took a few steps, the clones that were originally gathered together suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xiuer.

The latter was stunned.

how to say.

From Xuer's perspective, this picture has a sense of déjà vu of a horror movie.

When you approach, a group of "puppets" with identical appearances and movements suddenly look at you...

Oh, I'm like this too, that's okay.

Seeing this, Xiuer no longer remained silent, but continued to approach while asking about the current situation.

"Question, what are you doing?"

Although when Shul said this, he was looking at the only tall man in the "crowd" - Avisbron.

But the clones knew that this sentence was also asking them.

"..."xN

"Ah, welcome back, Master Xiuer."

"The production of the core is going smoothly, and the Noble Phantasm is already complete. Would you like to witness the birth of 'Him' now?"

Seeing Shul's return, Avisbron's expression was "completely" true. It seems that the former "Black Caster" has completely regarded himself as Shul's man.

After all, she was the one who helped him fulfill his wish, and for this reason alone, Avisbronn would definitely give her the best respect.

It would be more reassuring to have Shul as a "partner".

But from what he said, you could tell that he couldn't wait for the "Him" he was talking about to come into the world.

But at this time, there was obviously another more important thing that needed to be confirmed by Xiuer.

"Sure, the application has been approved and will be processed in one hour. Please wait for notification."

After receiving the answer, Avisbronn stopped asking questions and instead returned the respect once again before leaving on his own. He walked back into his magic workshop and waited for the coming moment.

After dealing with Avisbronn's matter, Shuul turned his attention to the "people" around him.

……

Chapter 68: A Short Break

As Xiuer's gaze swept over everyone present, no one panicked. They all looked at him calmly and without any pressure.

Until Xiuer's gaze stopped on someone in the crowd.

Although the clones are exactly the same, Xuer can see the "difference" between them with just one glance.

Just like...

The "Xuer" he was staring at now had turned off his "facial expression system".

"..."

"..."xN

At this moment, Xuer and his clones remained silent for five seconds.

No one spoke and the scene was extremely quiet. The only sound was the humming of the cooling fan of the computer case next to the computer desk.
