I really didn't want to burn it.

Ritsuka snorted, turned her head away, crossed her arms, and said in a resentful tone.

“Your Highness Leon, this Holy Grail originally belonged to you.” Medea bowed to Leon. “And my wish…”

"so be it."

Li Ang nodded. He didn't ask anyone else, but instead activated the Holy Grail.

A beam of light swept across the vast void.

"This is……"

Medea clearly felt something was wrong with her body.

"I have divided the power of the Holy Grail between the two of you, so that you may exist in this world for a long time."

Li Ang addressed Medea and Irisviel.

"Huh?" *2

“Irisviel, you must still have things you want to do,” Leon nodded with a smile. “Medea, you’re trying to stay in the mortal world because you have a wish you want to fulfill. So, go and fulfill it.”

"Thank you."

Medea glanced at Li Ang with emotion, then pulled her hood back up and left the cave.

"Thank you so much, Li Ang."

Irisviel smiled and embraced Kiritsugu; her greatest wish was to be able to stay with her husband and daughter forever.

Li Ang handed the Holy Grail, which had been emptied of magic, to Ritsuka.

"Ritsuka, please accept the Holy Grail."

"Leon"

Ritsuka accepted the Holy Grail with a bit of a daze; she still didn't understand Leon's thoughts.

"Well then, we're leaving now."

Li Ang smiled and made a farewell gesture to everyone before opening the passageway.

Chloris took Euryale from Fujino's arms, gently embraced the loli goddess, and followed behind Li Ang.

"Get ready to leave. Hmm? What's going on with you guys?"

When Li Ang turned around, he found that Ryougi Shiki and Miyabi Kirigakure were also following behind him.

Wu Tiao Wu Hui laughed nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'm alone, so I might as well follow the knight."

"Uh, are you going to run away?"

Ryougi Shiki stared at Li Ang with a slightly threatening look, her thumb lightly rubbing against the scabbard, as if she were about to draw her sword at the slightest provocation.

"Of course not, how could I do such a thing?"

Although Li Ang acted very manly, his stealing glances at Chloris revealed his true feelings.

Chloris didn't answer, but just smiled and looked at Li Ang, letting him decide for himself.

Even Artoria Alt was staring intently at them, seemingly wanting to know Li Ang's answer.

"Haha~" Li Ang laughed guiltily, "Let's talk about these blush-inducing things in bed in private."

"Hmph...you're such a womanizer."

Chloris snorted coldly and carried Euryale through the portal.

"Then I'll wait."

Shi smiled slightly and gently took Li Ang's arm.

Wu-jou Kirie sighed regretfully and quickly caught up with Chloris.

As for Artoria Alt, her face flushed, she looked up at the mountaintop and began to study the rock patterns.

"Well then, everyone. See you again someday!"

As Li Ang spoke his farewells, he pulled Ryougi Shiki into the time tunnel.

"That cunning fellow, he got away again."

Ritsuka looked at the place where the time tunnel closed and complained unwillingly.

Chapter 178 Ying Zheng: Li Ang, die for me! (╯д)╯

Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel helped each other out of the Great Hollow, with Archer following behind.

With the black hole closed, Ritsuka obtained the Holy Grail, and the temporary singularity was repaired.

Naturally, the Chaldea group, like Leon, will also have to leave this time and space.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time before returning, Ritsuka signaled Archer to spend some last moments with his adoptive parents.

Ritsuka and the others waited quietly inside the large cavern for their return.

Kiritsugu, having emerged from the cave, sat on a rock and gazed at the sky.

By this time, the morning star had already set, and the first rays of dawn pierced through the dark clouds, illuminating this little-known city.

Red Archer stood at the very front, with his back to Kiritsugu and Irisviel.

"I haven't seen this view in a very, very long time... Home is always the best."

Kiritsugu nodded slightly: "Is that so?"

The red-clad Heroic Spirit turned around and said gently, "So, promise me you'll bring Illya back. It's too pitiful for her to be all alone and not go home."

"Of course."

Kiritsugu suddenly realized something and looked at Archer with a suspicious gaze.

"Kid, you're not thinking of getting something for yourself, are you? I'm warning you, you're absolutely not allowed to lay a finger on Ilya! Not even if you're my son!"

"Is this really necessary to be so exaggerated..."

Seeing Kiritsugu preparing to draw his gun and fire an Origin Bullet at himself, Archer inadvertently broke out in a cold sweat.

“Ar… Shirou, thank you. It’s so good that Kiritsugu was able to meet you.”

Irisviel smiled gently.

Red A stared at his adoptive parents for a long time, then nodded slightly.

“That’s natural, I am Kiritsugu Emiya’s son.”

Red A seemed relieved. He shook his red shroud and said, "That's settled then. My time is almost up."

Turning around, the spirit took one last look at the town where he was born, his hometown, and the starting point of his story.

"Hey, Kiritsugu."

Sure enough, I had to say it.

"You said you were grateful that I chose to be your son, Kiritsugu, right? Actually, I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Thank you for saving me, and thank you even more for giving meaning to my life.

and so……

Golden light spots have begun to appear on Red A's body; the spirit transfer has started.

"Father, I will always be proud to be a child of the Emiya family."

Kiritsugu nodded with satisfaction: "We must persevere in the work of saving humanity."

"Okay, Dad."

The voice of the red-clad hero vanished along with his figure in the morning sunlight.

Emiya Kiritsugu embraced his wife as they faced the rising sun and began their new life together.

"Ah, goodbye, Shirou. And... thank you, Leon..."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The various explosions that occurred at night on Mount Enzo naturally attracted great attention throughout Fuyuki City.

After a “detailed” investigation by the police (with the involvement of certain mysterious forces), the incident was ultimately determined to be caused by an earthquake that led to a gas leak in the underground gas pipeline of Yuanzang Mountain, which in turn caused the explosion.

When someone pointed out that the gas pipeline at Mount Enzang was actually laid on the other side of the mountain, why did the explosion occur on the front?

A police spokesperson explained firmly, "They've been moved!"

Fortunately, the explosion in the mountains did not cause any casualties.

As if by some predetermined fate, the monks of Ryudouji Temple (including those who did odd jobs and those who stayed overnight) had gone down the mountain to perform a religious ceremony at the Fuyuki City church a day earlier, thus collectively escaping the disaster.

As for why a group of monks would go to a church to perform religious services...

Hmm, that's a problem.

In short, this battle, which could have led to the extinction of humanity, was ultimately simply defined as an "accidental incident."

When Weber saw the news in the newspaper before the plane took off, he felt genuinely fortunate.

He finally made up for the regret of the Holy Grail War four years ago and protected ordinary people with the help of his companions.

Weber returned to the Clock Tower and resumed his teaching career.

Reines was very unhappy with her adoptive brother's escape, but when she saw her brother, who had been somewhat dejected, return with renewed vigor, she stopped pursuing the matter.

Of course, a sharp tongue is indispensable.

Every time Reines saw Waver staring at the fragments of Alexander the Great's cloak in deep thought, she would make a sarcastic remark.

"Oh, my sworn brother. I never imagined you'd have a habit of staring at a scrap of cloth and chuckling to yourself. Is this what they call fetishism? You've really disappointed me."

Then, every time Reines said that, Waver would flick her forehead and say, "She's always the one with the sharpest tongue."

This made Reines very curious about what her adoptive brother had gone through after he ran away from home.

Because of the way she was addressed as "she," Reines once suspected that Waver was having an affair.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Reines searched for clues, she couldn't find a single trace.

Weber was unaware that he had swayed his adopted sister's thinking; he had more important things to do now.

After returning to the throne, Weber devoted 200% of his energy to his work.

Unlike his previous uncertainty before going to Japan, Weber is now not only full of energy, but also has a clear goal.

Whether it's the next Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City a few years from now, or the destruction of humanity even further in the future, Waver Velvet needs to be fully prepared so that he can fight alongside that king once again.

Full of passion for his work, Weber went all out, and with his simple and easy-to-understand practical courses, he quickly became the most popular teacher at the Clock Tower.

Furthermore, with his solid theoretical foundation and outstanding personal charm, he guided (or took in) many other students that other disciplines could not handle.

This made the name of Lord El-Melloi II known throughout the Clock Tower, and he even ranked high on the list of "men the female students of the Clock Tower most want to have sex with," and within a few years he rose to the top.

Weber's sudden rise naturally attracted the attention of others, and many people began to study his experiences, trying to find something out.

Among them, the Celestial Monarch Marisbury Animusfiah, after learning that Waver had participated in a magical ritual in the Far East called the Holy Grail War, developed a strong interest in this ritual for summoning Heroic Spirits.

And so the gears of fate began to turn, as if everything were preordained...

The situation in Japan is far more complicated than that of the London Clock Tower.

Kirei Kotomine died in the Great Hollow. As a purely evil person, his death did not attract much attention, nor did it cause much of a stir. It was not even recorded in the accident report.

However, after Kirei's death, his daughter Karen, with the help of Kiritsugu and others, eventually inherited his position as the administrator of the Fuyuki City Church.

After all, there's a Holy Grail War to be fought in a few years, and having a referee on your side is definitely a good thing.

After making a brief appearance in Fuyuki City, Asagami Fujino bid farewell to Emiya Kiritsugu and, with a terrified Hirakura Hikaru, returned to Kanbuko City, where she informed her teacher, Aozaki Touko, about the destruction of humanity.

Orange was surprised, but she also sensed that she was in great trouble.

Although she has no interest in saving the world, if humanity is destroyed, it would be a problem for Orange as well.

So, Orange and his disciples began to study runes while trying to figure out the reason for the destruction of humanity, since Li Ang had never mentioned this before.

By the way, Leon left behind three Servants using the Holy Grail's magic: Irisviel, Medea, and Scáthach.

Li Ang had promised Orange that he would let her summon Servants to learn ancient magic, and of course he couldn't go back on his word.
