Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Will you actively enter a world of "beasts"?

Lin Jiu'an had never seen anything so ridiculous and foolish, but Matou Zouken did it anyway.

Then how could he not do as he wished?

The pine tree, its inkstone dirty, remained silent.

indeed.

There are far too many sins and karmic debts here. While the mistakes he committed are certainly disgusting, they don't even reach the most inhumane level among this vast number of sins and karmic debts. He only glanced at them briefly and saw numerous sins that made him so angry that he wanted to completely exterminate the evil species "humanity".

"What do you think of humans?" Zouken Matou suddenly asked.

"how?"

Lin Jiu'an finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Matou Zouken, who was staring at him.

"In the end, his conscience rekindled, and he wanted to eliminate me, this monster, for the sake of humanity?"

“Yes.” Zouken Matou chuckled self-deprecatingly and said frankly, “You’re not as much of a monster as I am, but you’re more likely to become one than anyone else.”

Living in such a world.

Life is built on so many evil thoughts that make people want to destroy everything.

Zouken Matou couldn't understand why the other person could still maintain a human appearance, and what terrified him even more was that the other person might develop thoughts of destroying humanity at any moment due to this extreme evil. If that were possible...

He wanted to atone for his sins, to make amends for everything he had done in the past.

"First of all, you can't kill me."

"Secondly, these evil thoughts don't actually affect me as much as they do you. Although it's still quite unpleasant, isn't that how all life works? Even if I destroy humanity, countless years later this planet will still give birth to life, to species like humans."

"As long as there is life, there will be desires; as long as there are desires, there will be justice and evil, light and darkness, merit and virtue, sin and karma."

"Finally, I am also human, or at least I believe so."

"I hate living in a world without humans, no matter what."

······

Lin Jiu'an slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he did upon waking was to look up at the sky.

The sky was full of dark clouds.

However, it's much better than the blood-red sky there.

Matou Zouken is dead.

He wouldn't survive if he went there. Lin Jiu'an could save him, but he wasn't interested. He had no interest in him becoming a normal person there. After all, it's not like he could play a villain who did evil deeds his whole life and then suddenly woke up and everyone had to forgive him.

However, in the end, Lin Jiu'an still gained some unexpected benefits.

The other party gave him all the magic tricks he had learned over the past few hundred years.

This includes the Machiavellian family's magic for creating familiars, the technique of "binding Servants with Command Seals" in the Holy Grail War, and the Matou family's use of water-attribute and absorption-related magic...

Even so, he can devour them all using his Devouring Power.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Jiu'an generally doesn't like to use his Devouring Power to absorb other people's memories, as that would also absorb the sins and karma in those memories. Lin Jiu'an doesn't have much confidence in his own willpower.

"Jiu'an".

Sora's call brought Lin Jiu'an back to his senses, and when he looked at them, he noticed Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Because of Zouken Matou's death, she has lost her Master and her body is now somewhat ethereal, as if she could return to the Holy Grail at any moment.

She was staring blankly at the brightly lit Fuyuki City in the distance below the mountain.

"Minamoto no Yorimitsu."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu turned to look at him, his eyes slightly evasive.

Lin Jiu'an walked up to her and asked, "Would you like to become my follower?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was taken aback, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, and her cherry lips trembled slightly as she spoke, "Me?"

"Would you be willing to sign a contract with a hopeless woman like me?"

"Ok?"

Lin Jiu'an tilted his head, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then scratched his hair.

"If that's the case, then I'm no better than you. In fact, I'm far more hopeless than you. So, I'd like to ask you if you're willing to sign a contract with an evil villain like me?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu stared blankly at Lin Jiu'an, whose smile was bright and sunny. He opened his mouth, but in the end, two lines of clear tears flowed from his beautiful eyes, and he nodded heavily.

"I am willing!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put Minamoto no Yorimitsu into the "Primary Fall" state. You have received the reward "Endless Martial Arts Training".]

Chapter 40 Meryl: It's over!

It is located in a forest some distance from the Matou family's residence.

Mary, who had just deserted her post, was sitting on a tree branch, her beautiful eyes radiating a bewitching purple light.

It seemed as if it were gazing at a very distant place from here, its calves swinging leisurely back and forth, while it muttered excitedly.

"Yes, that's it, bite her, bite her hard!"

Sudden.

The sound of crunching leaves filled the air.

A pitch-black figure suddenly stomped down onto the ground from a great distance.

A cloud of reaction force erupted beneath his feet, and he shot towards Meryl like an arrow, slashing down with his sword.

'Splash!'

The moment the black blade sliced ​​across Merry's snow-white neck, her body vanished into a shower of flowers.

Until the flowers fell to the ground and recombine to form the image of Merry again.

"Hey, Lia, what are you doing?"

Merry complained, but without slowing down, a pure wooden staff appeared in her hand, which she pointed towards Artoria's landing point.

Without hesitation, Artoria turned around at lightning speed upon landing. In the instant her body was still turning, she stomped on the ground and charged towards Meli like an arrow released from a bow, ignoring the explosion that had just occurred where she had left the ground. This time, her longsword slashed down towards Meli's waist.

'Dang!'

At the critical moment, Melie's staff blocked Artoria's sword.

In the next instant, countless sounds of metal clashing rang out between the two, and the forest under the night sky was filled with the light of swords.

"Don't do that, Lia."

"If you keep bullying me, I'm going to get angry."

"I'm really going to be angry!"

"Artoria! You don't want Alice to know that you secretly ate Jiu'an, do you?"

A fierce killing intent flashed in Artoria's eyes.

Although I don't know how the other person found out that Irisviel was cheating on me, but...

Once a person dies, they will no longer speak!

Artoria stomped her foot on the ground, gripped her sword with both hands, and slashed at Meryl's neck from below. As always, Meryl's slender arms and snow-white hands, which seemed to have never held anything heavy, easily blocked Artoria's sword while holding her staff.

Then...

'boom!'.

The black and red light instantly engulfed Meryl's body.

The light fades.

Looking at the empty ground before her, with only a dark ravine hundreds of meters long remaining, Artoria's eyes grew even colder.

That white-haired guy didn't die.

Just as Artoria was about to continue her pursuit, she suddenly stopped.

next second.

A figure wielding a blood-red and a yellow spear rushed to her side and swung the weapon at her.

······

"Hmph, you're still too green to kill me, Lia."

He could feel the magical fluctuations of Artoria, who was caught in a surprise attack in the far distance behind him.

Mary strolled happily through the woods.

His face was full of pride.

But the next moment, the sound of chains rang out. Before Mary could react, several chains had already pierced through her limbs and lifted her high into the air.

"Bastard."

"Keep running for me, shall we?"

Look at that standing on the branch.

Gilgamesh's crimson eyes, reflecting her image, were filled with tyrannical rage.

Behind her were hundreds of golden treasures emerging from the King's Treasury, so numerous they seemed poised to pierce her with a thousand arrows.

The smile on Mary's face froze completely.

"It's over."

······

The north wind howled.

The howling wind blew up the coat of the person standing by the mountain.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's steady gaze seemed to pierce through countless spatial barriers, landing on the battlefield next to the exceptionally bustling Matou family residence.

"here we go."

Kirei Kotomine, who was standing behind him, suddenly spoke.

Hassan the Hundred-Faced, Dimurdo, and Kiritsugu Emiya have begun their attack on the Knight King.

"How foolish."

A mocking smile appeared on Tokiomi Tohsaka's lips.

He was well aware of what Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth were thinking; they were both planning how to eliminate Lin Jiu'an after dealing with him.

"But they didn't realize that my goal wasn't to get rid of that monster."

As Gilgamesh's former Master, no one understands Gilgamesh's power better than Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Do you think you can kill Gilgamesh with just three Servants?

Are you kidding me?

If they don't deal with Gilgamesh, how can they deal with the monster that even the being who resurrected him fears?

As for retaliating against Lin Jiu'an?

"Qili, how's it going on your end?"

"Assassin has already secretly sent a clone to do it."

The Holy Grail requires sufficient magical power to manifest in the world.

Sufficient magic power requires a certain number of Servants to perish and return to the Holy Grail.

But who says magic power has to be provided by the death of a servant?

For that being, He has already transcended the limitations of the rules; humans and Servants are merely "batteries" to Him.

However, humans provide very little electricity, while Servants provide much more.

However, even a small amount of electricity, if the quantity is high enough, can be equivalent to several Servants. In order to bring the Holy Grail and the being within it to life, Tokiomi Tohsaka made this operational strategy.

On one hand, unite with Servants that can be united to surround and kill other Servants, forcing as many Servants as possible to leave the field.
