Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

I even questioned myself in my heart.

“I’m not doing well enough!”

“I haven’t done enough!”

“It can be done even better!”

“We can do more!”

"If we just do a little better, more people can be saved!"

"If we just do a little more, more people will be happy!"

"clatter--!"

The crisp sound of footsteps rang out again, and Shirou Emiya moved forward again.

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

"Why are you still alive!"

"Why are you the only one who survived when so many people died?"

"If it weren't for you, more people would have been saved!"

"Why are you the only one who was saved?!"

“Die die die die!!!!!!!!!”

“Die die die die die!!!!!!”

The vicious words kept piercing Emiya Shirou's chest like a sword. He felt as if he was in the disaster that had happened before, standing on the ruins of the fire that had happened before.

Watching countless people lose the chance to live because of me being saved.

"tread--!"

However, there was another crisp step, and Shirou Emiya stepped heavily on the ground.

"This is the guilt that I have been unable to escape from. I will not escape, and I will not give up!"

Greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy, pain, all the disasters bestowed by the gods, all fell on Shirou Emiya's body.

However, Shirou Emiya kept walking forward with his broken body.

go straight.

go straight.

Until one moment, his body froze in place, unable to move forward even a little bit.

His body.

his soul.

His spirit.

All have reached the end.

Unable to take even one step forward.

That is the limit of being a human being.

Chapter 1078 This is——Ragnarok!

"why?"

A voice reached Emiya Shirou's ears.

What followed was a bright red light and a high temperature that ordinary people could not endure.

"Why can you persist to this extent? You are just a passer-by in this world."

A girl wearing a gymnastics suit with the word "Tanaka" written on her chest but only one arm appeared next to Emiya Shirou at some point.

Terrifying flames burned all around its body, and the black mud was burned to ashes almost the moment it came into contact with the flames, without being able to touch it at all.

The girl named Tanaka who had been lying on the ground due to hunger appeared behind Emiya Shirou.

"Whether this world is destroyed or not, it can't affect you, nor can it affect your world. Why do you have to fight to this extent--!"

Tanaka stood there, his eyes full of confusion, and he was extremely eager to get an answer from Emiya Shirou.

But Tanaka also understood that it was impossible for her to get the answer she wanted from Shirou Emiya, because Shirou Emiya was already dead.

"tread--!"

At this moment, a clear sound reached Tanaka's ears, and the scene before him was beyond Tanaka's common sense.

It was a scene she simply could not comprehend.

It was a figure that was not very tall.

It was a back figure that looked extremely weak.

It was a body that was soaked in blood all over.

It was a shattered soul.

That is the will to never give up.

That was a——human being.

Or use the title given to Shirou Emiya by the Orario gods - [Mortal].

“How is this possible—!”

Looking at Emiya Shirou who took that impossible step, Tanaka was completely stunned on the spot, not knowing what words to use to describe her emotions at the moment.

Humanity.

Can humans achieve this?

"Zheng——!"

Just as Tanaka was stunned, a ray of pure white light tore through the heavy black mud and rushed straight into the sky, instantly illuminating the originally dark sky.

"call out--!"

Then, it turned into a white meteor, crossed the space, fell from the sky, and hit Emiya Shirou heavily.

"This power? It's Illya! No - there's more than just Illya!"

Tanaka looked at the light on Shirou Emiya in great surprise, his eyes trembling like water waves, and he opened his mouth slightly and said in disbelief: "Heroic Spirit——"

She suddenly understood what that power was that was different from Illya's.

Not created by any being.

Not expected by any being.

Not blessed by any being.

A race that evolved from wild beasts to bipedal walking with only its own consciousness, gained intelligence, and stood above all living things, towering above the entire planet, and even above the gods - humans.

In this desperate moment, in the face of this disaster that destroys everything, the ideals of all people converge into a single wish - people need a hero, a hero who can save everything, a hero called [Companion of Justice].

Human hope is stronger than despair, and human joy is stronger and more lasting than sorrow.

limit------

Where are the limits of human beings?

Is it true that Siegfried, who accomplished the feat of slaying a dragon with human strength, can be considered the limit of human beings?

Is it true that Scathach, who accomplished the feat of killing gods with human strength, can be called the limit of human beings?

So, what are the limits of the human race?

Tanaka didn't know.

But at this moment, she seemed to see that even if the planet was dead, there were still people who could survive - humans.

"tread--!"

The crisp sound of footsteps sounded again from in front of Tanaka, and the already broken body began to move again as if by miracle.

"Humanity chose you, and Illya also chose you—"

Looking at the still thin figure in front of him, Tanaka murmured softly, closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, there was a burning belief in them.

"Humanity and the planet chose you at the same time."

The planet entrusted the world to the young girl, and Illya entrusted her hopes to Shirou Emiya. For Tanaka, it was almost the same as entrusting both humanity and the planet to one person.

"I am just a passer-by, yet I am determined to shoulder the fate of the entire world."

"Well, maybe only you can bring out the true power of the sword, maybe only you can truly end all this—"

"Om-!"

In front of Shirou Emiya, a ball of fire that was powerful enough to burn the world turned into a red meteor and shot up into the sky. The horrible flame burned everything around it, and the entire space was illuminated.

The black mud that was also capable of devouring the world was instantly burned to ashes by the flame, and the area centered on the flame appeared intact in front of Shirou Emiya.

On the broken earth, burned by the red flames, a scarlet sword sat on the top of the sand dune.

"tread--!"

Heavy footsteps left deep marks on the land.

"tread--!"

The broken body walked through the world-destroying flames.

"tread--!"

The indomitable soul left proof of its presence in this space.

"tread--!"

The immortal will stepped onto the top of this sand dune.

The great sword that was powerful enough to burn the world was right in front of Shirou Emiya, but he didn't even have the time to hesitate and grabbed its hilt heavily.

“Buzz buzz buzz—!”

That was the sound caused by the trembling flames.

In the instant he grasped it, the flames that couldn't even stop the space from trembling climbed up Emiya Shirou's body. His body and soul were being burned at an extremely terrifying speed.

But Emiya Shirou seemed not to feel it at all, and held the sword tightly without any intention of letting go.

The black mud around him poured down on him again because the flames were concentrated on Shirou Emiya.

At this moment, Emiya Shirou, holding the flaming sword tightly, pointed at a certain spot in the black mud and said coldly -

"If this is what you call saving the world, then I will burn it with the inscription of world destruction!!!"

The moment the words fell, the scarlet sword covered with red and black veins instantly set off a terrifying flame that was several times larger than the one in Illya's hand.

"Buzz!"

The flames spread in all directions at an extremely terrifying speed, making an extremely sharp sound that echoed throughout the entire space. The surrounding black mud was burned to ashes by the aftermath of the flames.

The shattered Rubik's Cube in the sky, with holes constantly forming on it, was exposed in front of Emiya Shirou.

Immediately, waves of red flames rose from the sword, burning the sword itself and the world at the same time.

"Lead to the end of the world, this is——Ragnarok!!!1!"

The scarlet light instantly transformed into the most violent flame, filling the entire world in an instant.

Chapter 1,079 The destroyed world!

"Am I going to die?"

Floating in the rootless darkness, Xiao Hei felt that his human functions were disappearing, and even moving a finger was a luxury.

He could only roll his eyes and look in despair at the almost dark world around him.

"Is this what Mom said about becoming the real Little Holy Grail?"

Xiao Hei smiled bitterly. He should have realized long ago that Einzbern and Endsworth were in a mutually dependent relationship in these two worlds.
