Public executions started with King Adonai

Tonight everyone temporarily joined together to fight the big monster, and they cooperated well. After the fight, the atmosphere was harmonious. Even the Conqueror King and the Hero King, who were at odds with each other, agreed to decide the winner next time.

As a result, Emiya Kiritsugu had already started plotting against others before the war was over, and had directly let your own assistant carry out the action.

At the end of the war, when everyone was in a state of mental relaxation, Kiritsugu Emiya took action boldly and took down several enemies in one go.

This method is really dirty!

Likewise, it’s cruel enough!

His actions also fully revealed the nature of the Holy Grail War.

The epic battle between heroes is indeed very romantic and full of fantasy.

However, this is essentially a war of mutual destruction.

Since it is a war, it is not surprising that any cruel and dirty means appear, because the essence of human warfare is to continuously lower the lower limit of the human race.

Chapter 169: Peel off the romantic epic skin, and all that remains is cannibalism

At Yaoguang - Chaldea Headquarters, Father Kotomine Kirei looked at Emiya Kiritsugu on the screen with a fiery gaze and a smile of joy and interest on his face, as if he didn't care at all about the unfortunate fate of Kotomine's family on the screen.

This Emiya Kiritsugu, this man, is so interesting!

Beside him, agent Emiya Kiritsugu was silent. He no longer knew how to evaluate 'his' own actions. Although they were extremely despicable and the means were somewhat cruel, as far as war was concerned, using some means to achieve the final victory seemed to be nothing wrong.

Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu chose to remain silent.

Irisviel's expression froze for a moment, and after a while, she said weakly to her husband, "Kiritsugu, I'm not blaming you, but I think it's inappropriate for you to suddenly launch this kind of attack when we've just joined forces tonight to eliminate the evil monsters and everyone thinks the battle is over and we're ready to decide the outcome later..."

Faced with his wife's words, Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Perhaps, this is the true Holy Grail War."

The sound was not loud, but many people at the scene heard it, and it instantly made many people wake up.

Yes.

This is war.

Even though it is named after the Holy Grail, and even though many legendary figures appear, adding drama and epic romance to this Holy Grail War, it cannot conceal the fact that this is a "war".

Ordinary people don’t know what wars in human history are like, but how could those who are here not know?

To be honest, compared with the various wars that occurred between countries in history, Kiritsugu Emiya's methods are nothing at all, and can even be said to be dwarfed by them.

Because those large-scale wars can really lower the bottom line of mankind infinitely, and can directly link humanity with meanness, ugliness and madness.

Thinking of this, someone said sympathetically: "That being said, Kayneth is really miserable and unlucky. He was about to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, but was sniped by that unruly Emiya Kiritsugu in the safe zone. He even blew up the safe zone. I wonder what he has become now."

Another voice rang out, "No, this is because Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't know the specifics. Furthermore, the 'I' inside wants to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, but also wants to hand over Lancer Diarmuid to someone else. This is like a country wanting to withdraw from a war during a normal war, but before doing so, it has to give all its equipment, firepower, and even its army to one side in the war."

"Such actions, as seen throughout human war history, are commonplace. Once discovered by a country that has not benefited from the war but whose enemy has benefited, they will inevitably launch a fatal attack on the country that wishes to withdraw from the war, thereby preventing their enemy from reaping such a huge advantage."

"So, even if Emiya Kiritsugu knew that Kayneth wanted to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, this man would definitely attack Kayneth, and he would have a completely 'legitimate' reason. After all, war is not a game, it means death!"

After hearing these words, everyone at the scene looked over in surprise, because the person who said these words was Professor Kenneth, who was actually speaking for the person who killed "himself".

Gymnastics coach Diarmuid, standing nearby, sighed, "As expected of Professor Kenneth, his broad-mindedness and overall perspective are truly admirable. However, the 'me' on the screen is inconsolable. The lord he was determined to protect was murdered right before his eyes. I'm afraid that noble knight will be driven mad..."

Next to him, his fiancée also looked worried, worried about the situation of Diarmuid in the image on the light screen.

Professor Weber sighed. He finally understood. If the battles between heroic spirits were romantic poems full of epic and mythological colors, and heroic stories full of stories, then the battles between masters were undoubtedly the cruel truth hidden under the surface of that romantic poem.

Just as behind every heroic story there are actually countless tragic lives of passers-by as footnotes.

When you peel off the glamorous appearance and look directly at the tragic experiences of passers-by, you will realize that the so-called heroic epic is just a story of cannibalism.

For a moment, Professor Weber even thought of the famous writer Zhou Shuren from Yan Country. The stories he wrote were undoubtedly the greatest commentary on the Holy Grail War.

Even though there was no deliberate display tonight, and both the Masters and the Heroic Spirits tried their best to save those innocent people, in reality many people were injured or even died.

It was simply because they were just 'passers-by' and not the main characters in the Holy Grail War, and because the stories of the Heroic Spirits had already entered their climax, they were inadvertently ignored.

Looking back now, no matter how many rules this Holy Grail War had, no matter how many restrictions there were on the participants, there were still innocent ordinary people who were implicated. They had nothing to do with the Holy Grail War in the first place, but were affected by the actions of the Holy Grail War participants.

Although it may not seem like a lot, if you focus your attention on each of them and think that these are real people, you will find that just as a grain of sand in history is a mountain to ordinary people, the families of the victims have endured tremendous pain that will be difficult to recover from in their lifetime.

"The Holy Grail War... it's really not something I enjoy at all..."

Shaking his head, Professor Weber finally made this evaluation.

-

In the junior high school of Tenno International High School, Illya and Emiya Miyu looked very embarrassed because in this elementary school class, no one spoke up for Emiya Kiritsugu who was imaged on the screen. They simply thought that the other party had gone too far and was too despicable. He was completely an evil villain who must be defeated by Kamen Rider.

Elementary school students' views on good and evil are so pure that they don't think too much about the deeper meaning and the underlying implications, so they simply think that Kiritsugu Emiya in the image on the screen is a villain, so much so that everyone in the class is condemning this man and speaking up for Kenneth.

Even the supporters of the King of Heroes and the deceased of the King of Conquerors had temporarily united, and the only thing left in the entire class was the condemnation of Emiya Kiritsugu.

This made Illya, the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu, very embarrassed, and also made Emiya Miyu, the good child of the relative, very embarrassed - after all, even if the two of them felt that Emiya Kiritsugu in the image on the screen deserved to die, they could not say this out loud, because the other party was their father/elder!

-

In the advanced mystical realm, Matou Zouken laughed joyfully: "Hahaha~ Interesting, so interesting~ That's why I say that humans are the most interesting creatures in the world!"

"That man named Emiya Kiritsugu is perfectly suited to receive the mysterious blessing. Such a man is a rare talent for us and should become one of our own."

He really admired the Emiya Kiritsugu in the image on the light screen, and even planned to find the Emiya Kiritsugu in the real world. If the Emiya Kiritsugu in the real world was as interesting as the one in the image on the light screen, he would definitely let him receive the mysterious "blessing".

-

At the same time, other parts of the real world are also full of insults and quarrels, and of course rational discussions.

Various voices like this have emerged due to this wave of super expansion.

But there is no doubt that the true cruelty and unpredictability of the Holy Grail War has been ruthlessly demonstrated by Kiritsugu Emiya through his own actions.

No one can predict what will happen next.

-

The light screen image showed that the huge explosion of Kotomine Church was quickly known to other Masters and Servants in the Holy Grail War.

At the same time, ordinary people in Fuyuki City also knew that because Tōsaka Tokiomi had stopped his mass hypnosis, everyone in the city had returned to their normal selves.

A large number of people who were affected by the flesh monster incident woke up and were shocked to find that they were outside and there were other people around them.

Some of them were injured, and some even died.

This immediately caused chaos and panic. In addition, many places in Weiyuan River were destroyed due to the fighting, so fire trucks, ambulances and police cars all sounded their sirens and rushed there.

As a result, before one crisis subsided, another crisis arose. The Kotomine Church exploded again. The impact and sound of the explosion could be heard and felt in most of the city, and the flames of the explosion could be clearly seen throughout the city.

Suddenly, the whole city fell into a huge panic. Many people's heads exploded, and the number of police calls was almost paralyzed. Fuyuki City fell into chaos. People who were sleeping woke up one after another, and the city that had fallen asleep came back to life.

The scene of chaos and fear basically directly showed the state of ordinary people affected by the Holy Grail War, and many people in the real world felt heavy-hearted.

In particular, senior officials from various countries frowned deeply, realizing how destructive the extraordinary power could be to society. If it were not properly controlled, it could even bring disasters and chaos comparable to the mysterious arrival of the enemy.

Although the extraordinary people who have appeared now are all controlled by Yaoguang-Chaldea, and under the correct arrangement and guidance, they are contributing positive forces to human civilization and society.

However, no one can be sure that new extraordinary people will not appear among the people.

If extraordinary beings who are not under official control appear, uncontrollable chaos and turmoil will be inevitable.

We must find a way to prevent it from happening!

Otherwise, once a situation similar to the one shown in the light curtain image occurs, the chaos and turmoil caused will definitely not be limited to the one shown in the light curtain image.

Because chaos and turmoil are the best soil for breeding mysterious things!

Why do terrifying higher mysteries rarely appear in orderly and stable areas, while various terrifying mysteries often appear in turbulent areas?

Everything is caused by chaos and turmoil, which is what the mysterious likes most.

Chapter 170 It must have been Emiya Kiritsugu who did it!

The camera shifted from the ordinary people of Fuyuki City to the location of the third apostle of destiny, the Spirit of Time. He was already in a luxurious suite in a hotel, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking in the direction of the explosion.

Because it was shown from behind, we had no idea how this mysterious time elf would react.

After that, the camera began to show the situations of the Holy Grail War participants one by one.

Each contestant looked in the direction of the explosion, with varying reactions.

Some people just appear in front of the camera without any big reaction, while others have obvious reactions.

For example, when the camera shifted to Tōsaka Tokiomi, he narrowed his eyes and sat in his study, as if he was either posing or on his way to posing like the Five Elders.

Now, sitting in the luxurious boss chair in the study, Tōsaka Tokiomi looked out the window, and the window reflected the flames of the explosion, showing that from this angle he could see the Kotomine Church.

For this mysterious guy, the fireworks brought a hint of surprise to his face, but it only lasted for a moment, and then the unfathomable and elegant smile appeared on his face again.

"How sad, my friend! It seems this sinful Holy Grail War has finally devoured you as well. Even though you are not a competitor, but an overseer, faced with ever-expanding desires and an endless thirst for the Holy Grail, you can only be gently kicked aside like a stone blocking the road ahead."

Having said these words, the scene ended with Tōsaka Tokiomi's mysterious and elegant smile.

Then, the camera moved to the location of Marisbilly. After seeing the explosion of Kotomine Church, he took out a magic item and looked at it. It seemed that the function of this magic item was to monitor the life status of allies.

After seeing it clearly, Marisbury shook his head helplessly: "This is really... Even though I reminded Kenneth and he was even ready to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, he still failed at the last moment..."

Sighing, he said with some annoyance, "Caster, tell me, is fate something that cannot be changed?"

Mysterious Caster: “…”

He remained silent, not knowing whether he didn't want to answer or didn't know how to answer.

Marisbury clearly didn't expect the mysterious Caster to answer him. His expression grew serious, no longer as gentle as before. "The Holy Grail War has reached a critical point. Tonight, the fake Caster was eliminated. Kenneth's Lancer team was heavily armored. The situation of the Assassin team in the Ryūfeng Church is unclear, but it's likely they've suffered heavy damage."

"Matou Kariya of the Berserker Team also suffered heavy damage due to his unauthorized actions tonight, but he has been brought back by Matou Zouken. I believe his life is not in danger, so he can still be considered combat-ready."

"As for the rest, there's the Rider team and the Saber team. The Rider team's Master is a student of Kenneth's, and their Servant is the Conqueror King Iskandar. He's an excellent Servant, but he has no chance against the King of Heroes and is perfectly restrained."

"King Arthur of the Saber team has a power that's 40:60 on par with the King of Heroes. Emiya Kiritsugu, as the Master, is also very powerful, but he's the type to attack his allies from behind, so he's not trustworthy. Let him go directly against Tōsaka Tokiomi."

"So, Tōsaka Tokiomi of the Archer team is still the most formidable enemy. If we can't defeat him, we still have no chance of winning."

"This is really frustrating... How could such a powerful magician exist in modern times? He doesn't even look like a modern person, but more like a monster from a mythical age."

Speaking such words also reveals very important information to the audience in the real world.

What is particularly important is that the King of Conquerors was completely defeated by the King of Heroes, which made many people feel incredible.

Although the Hero King is very powerful, the King's Treasure is an ability that is completely exclusive to the rich.

However, the king's treasure doesn't seem to have much of an advantage over the king's army, right?

That powerful legion faced the King's Treasure. They could have relied on their coordination and the army's excellent quality to withstand the bombardment of the King's Treasure, and then pushed forward to overwhelm the heroes. Why was they completely defeated?

Could it be that the King of Heroes can not only use his Noble Phantasms to smash people, but can also unlock the True Names of those Noble Phantasms?

Well, yes, because the King of Heroes' fighting style is just to hit people with his Noble Phantasm, people think that the King of Heroes can only use his Noble Phantasm to hit people, and that he cannot release the True Name of the Noble Phantasm in the King's Treasure.

After all, up to now, everyone else has already released the true name of their Noble Phantasm, but the King of Heroes has none. From beginning to end, he just used his Noble Phantasm to hit people, with no novelty at all.

It’s like the King’s Treasure itself is the true treasure held by the King of Heroes, and everything else is just an accessory to the King’s Treasure.

Moreover, the King of Conquerors not only possesses the King's Army, but also the ox cart called the Divine Wheel, which is also a very powerful treasure, and this treasure can even be driven together with the King's Army.

With the powerful force of this combination, it is definitely not difficult to break through the blockade of the King's Treasure and reach the Hero King directly. However, once close, judging from the close combat performance of the Hero King when he fought Li Shuwen at the beginning, he would definitely be ravaged by the Conqueror King.

So, what kind of trump card does the King of Heroes have that Marisbilly can say is a complete counter to the King of Conquerors?

As for the 40:60 split between Saber and the King of Heroes, it is also surprising, but it also feels reasonable.

Although Saber has demonstrated the strongest power in the Holy Grail War so far, with a terrifying power that can directly break through the sky and penetrate into outer space, it is absolutely beyond words. It belongs to the standard humanoid nuclear bomb sequence, and it is hydrogen bomb level.

With such power, I feel that if it can be used unscrupulously to use the Sword of Oath of Victory, it will not be a problem to end the Holy Grail War overnight.

However, the prerequisites for fully releasing the Sword of Promised Victory are too harsh. The time required just to unlock the seal of the holy sword is extremely long. If she fights with other servants, others will not be able to give her time to release the treasure.

Moreover, this move consumes a lot of magic power. Just one use can drain a lot of the master's magic power. If she uses it several times, her master will be directly drained.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Saber is at a disadvantage in the fight against the King of Heroes.

Apart from that, the biggest problem is Tōsaka Tokiomi. To Maris's ratio, Tōsaka Tokiomi is obviously more difficult to deal with than the King of Heroes.

Judging from his current performance, Tōsaka Tokiomi is indeed more difficult to deal with than the King of Heroes. At least that powerful illusion is difficult to deal with, not to mention that this illusion can even control servants.

I have to say, this is a perfect example of cheating.
