Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

But... this is a huge blow to Riku. He has come this far, but he has to watch the Star Grail slip away from him...

This is extremely cruel.

Before the masters could react, Jibril continued:

"The black ash itself is something emitted by the elves. From the moment it penetrated the planet and the moment the star cup appeared, there was too much black ash around that thing."

"And...Rick, whose body has already been broken into such a state, can't possibly pass through the black ash."

At this moment, Jibril finally answered her masters' doubts. Through her eyes, she could see black and gray that humans could not see. This was why she was able to discover it earlier than Kongkong.

In fact, the sensitivity of the Blank siblings, who even Heihui had never seen, and Jibril, who had survived six thousand years ago, to these things were completely different. Perhaps, this was also the reason why Jibril was the first to answer the question.

Stephen, who finally understood the blankness of everything and looked confused, could only let it go in secret.

Now that the answer is out, all we can do is enjoy this final video.

Back to the high-energy video, at this moment, Riku watched as Hubie's body and the bodies of all the Ex-Machinas merged together, and then gradually turned into dust and disappeared. His heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife tens of thousands of times, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Huppi's companions...and millions of other living people..."

“How many people died!!!”

Rick's choked and hoarse voice slowly echoed in the space.

I have to say, looking at the culprit in front of him, he couldn't be happy at all.

It was because of this Star Cup that so many of his companions died one after another, and his family and loved ones also died one by one, and the world became like this. All of this... is the Star Cup's fault.

However, now he has to rely on this star cup to realize his wish.

How ridiculous and how pathetic.

This is the cruel reality.

"Not hesitating to deceive himself....not hesitating to use the death of Shuvi, and the lives of all Ex-Machinas!!!"

"Use Hubie's thoughts as your own stepping stone."

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Damn!!!"

At this moment, Rick finally came to his senses and realized that even if he got the Star Cup, he would have nothing left.

A strong feeling of sadness surged into Rick's heart at this moment.

He didn't know why he had the nerve to say that this game was a draw... So many people had died, and it was obvious that all this was achieved at the cost of other people's lives.

Obviously, this game was my defeat...

However, I forced it to be a draw...

At this moment, countless complex emotions flooded Rick's heart.

All the scenes with Hubie and the fantasies he had had had have been completely shattered in Rick's heart.

Rick realized that all this could never happen again, and he could no longer hold back his emotions. Tears began to fall from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably. The violent emotional fluctuations also made his consciousness gradually become blurred.

"Such..."

Rick's intermittent and choking voice could only be barely heard, slowly echoing in the space, and also transmitted to the ears of every audience member.

"Such..."

"How can this be considered a draw!!!"

Rick's voice was like a roar, completely losing his mind.

And he moved his entire body and rushed directly towards the Star Cup.

I saw his hand suddenly stretched forward, trying to grab the star cup he had longed for.

but...

At this moment, all the audience were completely dumbfounded.

The bright star cup was right in front of him, but Rick's hand seemed to be completely unable to reach it. The moment it was about to reach the star cup, it completely disappeared.

That’s right. Just as Jibril said, there is too much black ash around the Star Grail. As a human, it is impossible for Riku to touch the Star Grail through the black ash.

Because from the beginning, this unequal continent has destined humans to only be able to do this. Even though the Star Cup has recognized Rick at this moment, it cannot break through the limits of humans. In other words...

This is a star cup that is impossible for humans to lift.

It has nothing to do with race, and it has nothing to do with whether it is recognized or not. The concentration of black and gray is simply fatal to humans.

"hahahahahahahaha!!!"

"Does this count as punishment for a thief?"

"As expected, even if you obtain a power that does not belong to you, you cannot use it."

At this moment, Gilgamesh, whose brain was damaged by the black mud, laughed wildly as if he had achieved great success when he saw Rick's failure.

It seemed that as long as he saw Riku's failure, the failure of this thief, he felt extremely happy, and Kotomine Kirei at the side couldn't help but laugh along.

Inside the church in Fuyuki City, what was heard at this moment was that sinister laughter. Shirou Emiya, who was also in Fuyuki City, clenched his fists tightly, expressing his anger as if he felt that the world was unfair.

We have come this far, we have sacrificed so much, and all of this was achieved with the lives of countless people, but... but!!

Even so, humans still can't win?

In that case, what is the meaning of those who sacrificed, those who gave their lives for humanity, and what does their existence represent?

"Shirou, your hand."

Altria was also shocked when she saw Shirou's hand. Yes, the bright red blood was flowing down Shirou Emiya's arm. Maybe he didn't even realize it. He was so angry that he scratched his skin.

However, this is also Shirou Emiya's old problem.

After all, it’s not the first time. The last time, Toosaka Rin used a bandage to stop the bleeding, and this time... it’s the same.

Shirou Emiya is not the only one who feels the same anger as him. Almost most of the audience are now feeling confused and angry.

It is impossible to imagine where humanity is heading and what awaits them.

As long as Artosh is given enough time to recover, or even doesn't need to wait until he recovers, humans, like ants, will be completely killed by the Flügel or other races.

Even if they are not killed, what is the difference between human beings living in such a world and hell?

All they felt was endless confusion.

Could it be that even after coming to this point... we still cannot end this ridiculous war...

The most confused one is Rick in the video.

Without waiting for the audience to continue to grieve, the moment he saw his hand disappearing under the erosion of black ash...he could no longer hold back.

His brows were furrowed, and the countless emotions in his heart burst out completely at this moment.

He thought he could win.

Just once... Just once...

Just once... just once...

But the fact is, this is the case.

My parents protected me and saved me from death.

My partner protected me and saved me from death.

My lover protected me and saved me from death.

Countless lives were sacrificed for him.

No matter if they are humans or Ex-Machinas.

All for this moment..

But, in the end, I still lost.

As a human being, he does not have a strong physique, nor does he have powerful spiritual power.

At this moment, the heavy burden he was carrying completely overwhelmed Rick, causing him to freeze in place.

All I want is a victory.

But even so, God was against him.

As if it was fate that Rick had never won once since he was born.

Now, the audience finally understands what the so-called title means.

The so-called very strong couple, the so-called never won once.

After being completely corroded by the black ash, Rick's body began to gradually deteriorate.

The ring that he had been holding tightly in his hand also floated into the air at this moment.

Hubie... was like standing in front of Rick again.

Even under the star cup, the brightness of this ring is no weaker than the light emitted by the star cup.

Looking back now, this star cup is the so-called foil.

"Hubby!"

Countless energies continued to gush out, and after penetrating the planet, the so-called spiritual power would only become stronger and stronger. In this environment, Rick's life might only be less than a few minutes left.

“I’m sorry….I’m sorry….”

"Hubby...I'm sorry...I lost again..."

Rick looked at the ring in front of him like a helpless child, crying, repenting, and feeling guilty.

In the eyes of the audience, he has done a good job.

But in his own eyes... he could obviously do better, he could obviously not make any mistakes, he could obviously calculate this step.

But...

I still lost.

Lost to this fucking world.

Although they wanted to say a few words of comfort, it seemed that they were completely speechless due to the current situation.

They watched how Rick got here, and they also understood how much thought and energy Rick had spent to get to this point.

No amount of comfort would work, because Rick's spirit had completely collapsed at this moment.

No one could comfort him. I'm afraid what he prayed for was the same as what the audience prayed for, anyone would be fine, as long as they could end this battle.

"Hey....Hubby..."

Rick's words were accompanied by a strong crying tone. To be honest, he wanted to see Hubie again so much and wanted to fight against this cruel world together with Hubie.

But...

The powerful energy has completely destroyed the cave outside. On the chessboard, there is only one last move left.

But... there is no son to support.

How helpless it is to have no children to support oneself.

At this moment, as the cave collapsed, huge rocks fell directly onto the chessboard.

This also means...Rick's plan has completely failed.

Rick realized that everything was beyond saving, and now he was filled with suffocating despair.

"If the two of us become one, next time...next time I really want to win... Hubie..."

"Next time...in a game where no one dies..."

Hearing those almost pleading words, the Baikong siblings felt extremely uncomfortable.

The world they live in now is exactly what Rick once longed for, a world without war or death.

In other words, this kind of world is exactly what Rick exchanged his life for.

"Come to think of it, I really want to have a serious duel with them in a world like this."

"If it's them, they must be a very powerful group of opponents."

Kong's words were full of anticipation. In his heart, he really wanted to have a competition with the guy in front of him.
