Offer a savior to the infinite world!

[I have modified this ritual array. Those companions who have lost themselves will not realize what I have done. As for you, the unknown person who saw this text at some point, I hope you can drive away this vicious flame and let this world no longer be in the sight of that evil thing.]

[I... I have been finding it increasingly difficult to stay awake, but at the last moment, I have to give it one more try, to stop my former colleagues, to stop my former friends. Maybe I can succeed, or maybe I will still fail in the end. Regardless of the final result, I wish you, the unknown person, the best of luck in your future, and hope that you will not go astray like us.]

The remaining words emerged in Lin Yi's mind and quickly disappeared.

The brave men who bravely advanced to explore the future of mankind ultimately brought about a disaster that destroyed the world.

For Dr. Ira, who had not yet lost himself and knew what he had done, how painful were his last remaining days of consciousness?

However, if it weren't for his efforts, I'm afraid that we, the rescuers, would not be able to complete this mission.

"Rest in peace, Doctor. This disaster will be resolved here."

Lin Yi whispered softly, and in the next moment he fully activated this huge ritual formation.

The golden light lit up layer by layer, and the formation constructed by the highly degraded fire of rebirth burst out with surging light. The deceased who once fought against the flames had already led Lin Yi's consciousness and brought him to the deepest part of the fire.

Chapter 40: The Ending Moment~

[Abnormal space-time disorder node has been confirmed]

[The goal of this mission: Eliminate abnormal space-time disorder nodes, the target has been found]

The clear prompt sound of the Savior System has already sounded in my ears.

But for Lin Yi now, he no longer has the time and energy to pay attention to the system's prompts, because at this moment, the thing that appeared in front of him has attracted all his attention, and he has no way to pay attention to other things for the time being.

flame.

The colors were as dim as dusk, and the huge flames were burning fiercely.

It was like a star about to be destroyed, with a flame raging before my eyes.

At the root of the hidden mechanism of this ritual formation, which does not exist in the real world and is only visible to Lin Yi through the perspective of this special energy flow, he saw a dim dusk object burning like a star.

The fire of rebirth.

Destroy all existing things and turn the orderly world into a chaotic madness.

Even though it was just a small, insignificant projection, it still possessed an unimaginable terrifying deterrent power, so much so that when Lin Yi looked at this thing, he actually felt like he couldn't breathe.

Anger, despair, madness——

He could feel these violent emotions surging and sweeping in the flames.

And that strangely familiar feeling that had only become clear at this moment.

Lin Yi suddenly felt that he might have seen such a flame before.

I have seen similar flames of despair and madness.

When was that?

When did this happen?

Everything I was familiar with was completely destroyed, everything I cared about was gone, and I was left with nothing. At that time...

"It has come to this point, and you are still using this kind of trick. Don't you think it's a bit too low?"

Amid the cold voice, Lin Yi stretched out his hand, and the huge flame suddenly trembled.

"I really don't know what I experienced in the past that I have forgotten, and what kind of person I was."

"But all this will not change my present. My thoughts, my wishes, and my goals will not change just because of a few words from you."

"You are a guy who has no other ability except to persuade others to join you in self-destruction. Get out of this world!"

The moment the words fell, Lin Yi's fingers clenched suddenly.

A raging flame burst out, as if countless crazy faces were rushing towards him, trying to devour him.

But these flames ultimately failed to reach where Lin Yi was. Amid the buzzing sound, the false projection had already lost its last supporting force and quickly annihilated in front of Lin Yi, dissipating into nothingness, and forever separated from this universe.

And it was at this time that Lin Yi seemed to remember something in a trance.

Ah, yes...

In that desperate moment when I had lost everything, I truly felt the call of the mad fire and the call of the fire of rebirth.

Then, I rejected that flame.

Because no matter how miserable the situation is, I will never accept dragging other innocent people into the same hell as me. I will never accept such a practice.

So, I never received the fire of rebirth.

"Does this count as remembering part of the past? It's so tangled, so what bad things have happened to me that I have felt the call of the fire of rebirth? Could it be that I was a very unlucky guy in the past?"

Lin Yi, who was complaining softly with some helplessness, gradually broke away from the field constructed by energy.

Now, it's time to end.

Among the ruins of the inverted city outside, the dim flames had gone out.

The empty city shrouded in dusk has now returned to its original normal state, although the residents in the city can no longer come back.

[The abnormal space-time disorder node has been confirmed to be completely eliminated! ]

[The savior mission has been completed! ]

[It has been confirmed that the abnormal space-time disorder node has no possibility of recovery! ]

[Task completion evaluation: Good! ]

……

The system's prompt sound came late, and the phantom space of the inverted city had begun to collapse due to the loss of its maintaining power.

When his consciousness returned to his body and he was back to being blind and having his hands broken, Lin Yi sighed deeply and sat down on the ground.

"Ah, it's finally over. This mission was really troublesome."

Lin Yi shook his head and said helplessly.

"This place looks like it's going to be destroyed soon."

Shirou Emiya looked up at his surroundings, feeling the gradually increasing intensity of the earthquake-like shaking all around him, and couldn't help but speak.

"The fire of rebirth that keeps this place alive is gone, so naturally this place can no longer exist. Then, it's almost time to say goodbye. Emiya Shirou, Yotsuya Miko, I wish you all a pleasant cooperation on this mission."

Lin Yi waved his hand and lay directly on the ground.

"Well, it's...over..."

The girl also collapsed on the ground. This rookie mission was too exciting for Jianzi. Now that she was finally sure that everything was over, she relaxed and suddenly she couldn't even stand up.

However, as for the pleasant cooperation, I clearly hindered the team a lot in this mission.

Thinking of this, Jianzi wanted to say something with some self-blame, and Lin Yi, who was lying beside him, spoke again.

"Especially Miko, to be honest, without you, neither Emiya nor I would have survived this mission. You've really worked hard to make it this far."

The serious and genuine words made the girl freeze in place, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"Okay, it's almost time to say goodbye. Tell the system in your heart that you want to return to your native world, and it will take you back immediately. As for what happens next, come to the Savior Community to find me after the mission is over. To be honest, you still have a lot to learn, Jianzi."

Lin Yi waved his hand and continued to lie on the ground, as if he was really too tired and wanted to take a nap or something.

"Hmm... I, I understand. Um, senior, thank you for your hard work..."

The emotionally confused girl nodded slightly with a blushing face. Not knowing what to say at this moment, she subconsciously chose to return to her own world. As a result, the words of thanks that she was planning to say were teleported away before she could say them, leaving only a scream that dissipated in the air.

This child is fine in other aspects, but sometimes he seems a little stupid.

Lin Yi sighed a few words in his heart, and then Shirou Emiya said goodbye to Lin Yi, and the young man followed him back to his own world.

Thus, for a while, Lin Yi was the only one left in the ruins, lying among the shaking rubble, as if he was sleeping peacefully.

"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you yet."

Then, Lin Yi suddenly spoke again.

"When I carried Jianzi here, you helped me, right? The reaction speed and attack strength of those monsters were obviously not right. You have some ability to interfere with their thoughts. I think you were the only one who could do that at that time."

"No, it should be more than that. You should have done something else. Now that I think about it, there are actually many areas in our operation that need to be further improved. There are actually many steps that are missing and it is easy to go wrong. But the fact is that it ended almost smoothly, except that we almost flipped over when facing that big guy at the end. Well, that half-body monster that appeared halfway, was it also lured by you, right?"

"Although you may think that this is just a return of gratitude for saving my life, I still have to say thank you seriously. Without your secret support, our mission would have failed directly, Miss Gu Mingdi."

Amidst the calm conversation, a petite figure appeared at the edge of the ruins without anyone noticing.

"If you fail here, I won't be able to leave alive. There's no need to thank me so much. We were just working together before."

Amid the cold voice, Gu Mingdijue walked out slowly and stopped beside Lin Yi.

End of the volume: Invitation and oblivion~

The rumbling and shaking sound is becoming more and more intense.

This world has reached its final moment of collapse, and it will soon disappear. As for what will happen to those who remain here at that time, the answer will only be known when the final moment comes.

"You're going to die."

Gu Mingdijue looked at Lin Yi, who was lying on the ground with only half of his right hand broken and both of his eyes scratched. After sensing the other party's gradually weakening vitality, he looked at him and spoke softly.

"Don't worry about that. I won't die."

In response to this, Lin Yi just shook his head very calmly.

"Your body has been severely damaged. You have no way to leave this place in this state. You will die."

The girl frowned as she spoke, somewhat puzzled by the man's calm reaction.

"So, there's no need to worry about this kind of thing. Didn't you see my two companions disappear? And since you can read memories, you should know that we belong to an organization called the Saviors. I will be pulled back by the system in a moment, and any injuries on my body will be healed immediately. So there's no need to worry about this. Even if I really die here, the system can still save me."

Lin Yi answered very casually, looking calm and composed, not at all like a seriously injured person.

"Hmm... I know a little bit. Is it too much to call on your savior system? To be honest, although I have seen some related things, it is precisely because of those things that I can no longer believe that such a thing exists."

Gu Mingdijue sighed softly and sat down next to Lin Yi. For some reason, this strange girl looked a little tired at this moment.

"Isn't it incredible that we, who are living well but have to go to other worlds to fight for people we don't know, would appear here? If you were to be surprised, you should have been surprised a long time ago, right?"

Lin Yi said with some surprise, stretched out his left hand and touched his chin, not quite understanding the reason for Gu Mingdi's surprise.

"Indeed, you guys are abnormal from the beginning to the end. You risk your life for people and things that have nothing to do with you... Don't you feel pain? With such serious injuries, even if you save the whole world, no one will remember what you did. Is there really any meaning in this?"

The girl's gaze stayed on Lin Yi's torn eye sockets, and she showed a slightly reluctant expression.

"Hmm... this kind of discussion about the meaning of things, well, how should I put it, whether anyone remembers that I saved them, this kind of thing is not important at all, right?"

Lin Yi scratched his head. He just thought that this strange girl might be a bit literary.

"If we just want to be thanked, then to be honest, the Savior System is not the best choice. After all, the system will even prohibit us from returning to this world after the rescue."

"The reason why we take action and are willing to join this system is simply because we are willing to do so, at least that's how I feel."

"That is to say, being able to help these desperate civilizations and saving them is already very satisfying to me. To be honest, more gratitude and other things are not important at all. I don't need that kind of thing."

Amidst the calm words, there was no sign of emotion change on Lin Yi's face.

Just like the emotions in his spiritual world, which have not changed at all and are not concealed at all.

What a weirdo.

In other words, it's really a group of weirdos.

Gu Mingji Jue had such a thought in his heart.

As a monster girl, she has experienced a long time and seen countless despicable people. But even so, she must admit that the existence of the Savior System and the saviors gathered under this system are still a group of strange people that make people feel extremely surprised.

However, although they are a group of strange people, they are not annoying.

"So, what about you? You don't belong to this world, right? And the only formation that can communicate with other worlds has also been destroyed. How do you plan to return to your world?"

At this time, Gu Mingdijue heard Lin Yi's serious questioning.

"...There must be a way."

The monster girl's eyes flickered slightly and she did not choose to answer Lin Yi's question directly.

In fact, when these saviors were fighting the fusion monster, she already knew that if she wanted to return to her own world, she couldn't help these saviors. Only by activating the summoning circle could she find the world she lived in and return to the family she cared about.

So at that time, the most important thing she should do was to help the forces of the Fire of Rebirth. However, after weighing the pros and cons, the girl still chose to help the savior. She couldn't explain the reason clearly, probably because she didn't want to cause the destruction of countless lives of a civilization for her own selfish desires. If she had to pay such a disgusting price, she might as well not go back.

Perhaps it was this kind of self-destructive thought, but in the end, she still chose to help those rescuers, and ended up destroying her only hope of returning home.
