Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Looking at the white-haired Sakura in front of her, Luvia couldn't help but question out loud. The feeling that the black mud gave her was obviously the same as the black mud outside the barrier.

"The quality and quantity are not of the same order of magnitude. The evil in the senior's body is [all the evil in this world] and [the evil in human history]. It is all human evil, and the black mud outside is——"

"【God's Evil】"

Toosaka Rin spoke the last words for white-haired Sakura.

At this time, Irisviel also reacted, and her expression became somewhat sad: "What is stored in Pandora's Box is the punishment of the gods to Prometheus for creating humans and stealing fire in Greek mythology. It is all the evil in the world."

"Greed, hypocrisy, slander, envy, bitterness, etc."

"Doesn't this sound like the evil that humans are meant to possess?"

Luvia listened to Irisviel's words with a look of confusion in her eyes, but it only took a moment for her to react: "Wait, the [evil] in Pandora's Box was placed there by the gods!"

"That is not the evil that was born from human beings themselves, but the evil that was brought down by the gods to punish humans!"

Thinking of this, she understood why White-haired Sakura had such an expression.

Shirou Emiya simply could not bear this [Evil of God].

"Then why did Muramasa go?!"

But before the white-haired Sakura could answer, Illya looked at the other party with a trembling body and whispered: "Is it because of me?"

"No, ever since Avalon was liberated, he has been discussing with me how to rescue Hei and how to save the world."

White-haired Sakura shook her head. From the very beginning, Shirou Emiya had made up his mind to rescue Kuro and save the world.

Even if everyone present decided to leave, Emiya Shirou would resolutely choose to stay.

He never wavered.

Miyu maintained the output of magic power to the scabbard while asking the white-haired Sakura: "So what is the result of your discussion--"

Hearing Miyu's words, white-haired Sakura lowered her head slightly and closed her eyes.

"Unless a miracle happens——"

In White-haired Sakura's judgment, it was almost impossible for Shirou Emiya to pass through the black mud and reach Pandora's Box.

If he had Avalon on him, perhaps Shirou Emiya would be able to maintain his existence just like he once entered the Holy Grail.

But Avalon————

White-haired Sakura looked at the barrier in front of her and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

It's not that she didn't try to persuade Shirou Emiya, but the result was self-evident.

"Can we only rely on miracles?"

Toosaka Rin also sighed. Now that things were settled, she couldn't change anything. Now she could only follow Emiya Shirou's instructions and start the technique of communicating with the world together with the white-haired Sakura: "Ruby, transform."

At this time, Illya was staring blankly in the direction where Shirou Emiya left, muttering something.

"Miracle--"

"Miracle----"

"Miracle------"

"Isn't the Holy Grail, which can grant all wishes, a miracle?"

And I am the Holy Grail!

Chapter 1076: A Punishment That Humans Absolutely Cannot Bear

The body was collapsing like a collapsing mountain.

The soul trembles like the torn earth.

Thoughts are in disarray like erroneous codes.

The moment he stepped into the black mud, all kinds of indescribable feelings hit Emiya Shirou's whole body like a tsunami.

It's a feeling that can't be described in words.

It's like I'm enduring some kind of punishment, like I'm enduring some kind of sin.

The body temperature is dropping at an extremely terrifying rate.

With every step he took, Shirou Emiya could feel death approaching, as if he would be dissolved in the black mud in the next second.

An ancient and heavy door has appeared behind him, and it seems that it can take him away at any time, but Shirou Emiya resists and cannot approach.

The black mud of "all the evil in the world" that had settled in the Holy Grail and would even pollute the souls of those who touched it was crushed the moment it surged out.

The purple-black quagmire of "The Evil of Human History", which could devour any data, make it lose its meaning of existence, and eventually "disappear", was swallowed up completely after just a slight boil.

The pink mist of [All Desires in This World] that could melt all intelligent things and instantly sublimate their "life" could not even spread and collapsed.

The three of them couldn't even protect Emiya Shirou from the black mud for a moment.

Why?

Whether it is [all the evil in this world], [the evil in human history] or [all the desires in this world], they all begin with man and end with man.

They have always been an inseparable part of human beings.

That is why Emiya Shirou rebelled against Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, because [evil] is an inseparable part of human beings.

That's why Emiya Shirou killed Sesshōin Kiara, because desire is not something that humans can ever hope to be free from.

Shirou Emiya not only carries them, but also acknowledges them as part of his being human.

But the black mud pressing on Shirou Emiya at this time is different. It is not only evil, but also a punishment from the gods to mankind.

To put it in more common terms: special attack against humans.

Without Avalon's resistance, Shirou Emiya is accepting the punishment bestowed upon humanity by the gods in all its aspects.

Eyelids become heavy.

The body becomes weak.

Countless pains boiled from within the body.

That was a ruthless virus and disease sweeping away everything in Shirou Emiya.

Even his existence as a human being was shaken.

White-haired Sakura had made it clear before Emiya Shirou made his decision.

No matter how determined your will is, no matter how strong your body is, without external interference, as long as you are a human being, you will inevitably die in such a disaster, without exception!

That's why when white-haired Sakura saw Emiya Shirou leaving like this, her face looked deathly pale.

If Avalon is still in Shirou Emiya's possession, there is still a glimmer of hope.

But Shirou Emiya left Avalon to others.

What's more, the black mud that emerged from Pandora's Box has been baptized by six thousand years and is enough to destroy a world.

This is [God's Evil]!

A disaster that cannot be resisted by willpower.

What lies before mankind is only despair!!

but--------

“Hope, isn’t that right there?”

When Pandora's box was opened, the only good thing left in the box was hope!

There is always hope before death.

Holding on to a body that was so weak that a gust of wind could blow it down, and enduring the pain that was ten times more painful than having his soul torn apart, Emiya Shirou took another step forward.

Maybe it's a bit childish.

Maybe a little greedy.

Perhaps it's a bit beyond one's capabilities.

It's even a little ridiculous.

But when Shirou Emiya stepped into this ocean where it was impossible for humans to survive, he wanted to do more than just save Kuro.

And save the world!

However, this is just nice to say.

Can you do it?

cannot--

It’s even impossible!

White-haired Sakura told Emiya Shirou, and he knew that he couldn't do it.

Even when White-haired Sakura was trying to persuade him, he felt a little shaken.

Shirou Emiya is not alone, he has people he cherishes, and people who cherish him.

Illya, Miyu, and Kuro, they all fight for this and survive.

But at the moment of hesitation, Emiya Shirou asked himself - if I can't do it, should I just not do it?

Some things need to be done by someone——

For some things, someone must sacrifice——

So why can't I be the one who has to do this?

So why can't I be the one who has to be sacrificed?

In the words of Toosaka Rin, what a twisted way of life this is.

It's so twisted that this is not a normal person's idea at all.

But this is the answer that the man who wanted everyone to be happy, the man called the partner of justice, came up with at that moment.

Even if you can't do it, even if the outcome cannot be changed, you must try your best to do everything you can.

Is it to put everything on miracles?

Shirou Emiya never expected a miracle, he just tried his best to do what he could.

“Puff——!!!!”

In an instant, all of Shirou Emiya's blood vessels burst, and his entire body was instantly soaked in scarlet blood.

"lie--!"

However, as a crisp voice sounded, Emiya Shirou took another step forward.

This belief is amazing.

However, this road cannot be traveled solely by willpower and faith.

"The world is hopeless!"

"Humanity will eventually perish--!"

"It's over! It's over! It's all over!"

The voice of despair continued to echo in Shirou Emiya's ears.

Countless negative emotions roamed in Shirou Emiya's mind, making him feel depressed and unable to help but believe.

But Emiya Shirou simply raised his battered body and stepped forward again.

He will not despair, and he cannot despair!

"You've done enough—!"

"You've done well enough--!"

"We have already come this far! This is almost beyond the limit of what humans can achieve!"

"Turn back! Turn back! No one will blame you!"

"Rest! Rest! Why do you have to torture yourself like this!"

But Shirou Emiya turned a deaf ear to it.
