Public executions started with King Adonai

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Redemption? I don't need that kind of thing."

After saying that, he jumped down and walked towards the pavilion.

Seeing Kotomine Kirei approaching, Irisviel and Waver were a little nervous, but they were not afraid. After all, the other party asked Li Shuwen to save them and personally dealt with Matou Zouken, which proved that he had no ill will towards them.

So, despite being nervous, Irisviel still mustered up the courage to step forward and express her gratitude to Kotomine Kirei.

However, Kotomine Kirei didn't even look at them. He went straight to the pavilion and sat on a chair in the pavilion. He leaned forward, put his arms on his knees, and looked up at the two of them slightly.

"Let's go! My battle is over. Whatever you do next is up to you."

These words left Irisviel and Waver stunned. They didn't quite understand what Kotomine Kirei meant. He was obviously fine and his servants were there, so how could the battle be over?

However, Kotomine Kirei had no intention of continuing to speak. He just sat there in silence, even closing his eyes as if he was resting.

Seeing this, Irisviel and Waver both knew that the other party did not want to talk to them and had already made a gesture.

The two men were not ungrateful, so after a brief hesitation, they expressed their gratitude to Kotomine Kirei again and then left together.

After the two left, Li Shuwen came to the pavilion, stood with his hands behind his back, facing Kotomine Kirei, and looked at the bright moon.

The sad background music "Lost Memories" sounded, and then Li Shuwen's questioning voice rang out: "Have you reached your limit?"

Then, the camera switched to Kotomine Kirei's perspective. He opened his eyes, but his vision had already begun to blur, as if he was drowsy.

"Well, that's the limit, Senior Li, thank you."

Li Shuwen: "Thank you is unnecessary. This is my unwavering duty. Moreover, your final choice makes me very happy. No matter what, you deserve the name of 'chivalrous'."

Kotomine Kirei: "Is that so?" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's good..."

Then, he raised his right arm.

"In the name of all Command Seals, Assassin, from now on, act according to your will!"

Li Shuwen was slightly stunned. Under the influence of the Command Spell, he was instantly filled with strength, and the injuries he had suffered in the previous battle with Tōsaka Tokiomi were also healed.

This is also normal. You have to know that Kotomine Kirei has more than three Command Seals. In addition to his own, he also inherited two Command Seals from his father's body.

When all these command spells took effect, Li Shuwen's magic power became more abundant than ever before. Even if he fought for a whole night, he would not be short of magic power.

Feeling the abundant magic power within his body, Li Shuwen sighed with regret, and Yanfeng Qili closed his eyes again, saying in a low voice: "Senior Li, this is the last thing I can do. When I open my eyes again, I will no longer be myself. At that time, if you judge me to be an irredeemable villain, then please..."

The rest of his voice gradually faded away. He wanted to say something at the end, but he couldn't. His head had completely drooped down, as if he was dead.

But Li Shuwen knew that he was not dead, or it could be said that he was dead.

When he opens his eyes and looks up again, the real Kotomine Kirei will wake up. If the other party is an irredeemable villain, then the previous Command Seals will become a restraint on Li Shuwen.

Therefore, before Kotomine Kirei died, he used up all the Command Seals to ensure that even if his true self woke up, he would not be able to control Li Shuwen, while Li Shuwen could "punish the evil".

This is the chivalrous spirit that Kotomine Kirei—or rather, that false personality—upholds!

It died in such a grand and yet silent way.

Li Shuwen watched all this silently and finally sighed with regret.

The Kotomine Kirei that he knew and recognized was gone forever.

-

When people in the real world saw this scene, they felt as if they were poured with a bucket of cold water and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Just now I saw Kotomine Kirei displaying his supernatural power and wiped out the nasty old bug Matou Zouken.

But who knew that this would be Kotomine Kirei's last shining moment. His personality as a knight finally reached its limit after this decisive battle and came to an end.

Although Kotomine Kirei is still alive and will wake up.

However, the awakened Kotomine Kirei will no longer be the one known to the audience in the real world.

Although it has long been known that Kotomine Kirei's chivalrous character is a false personality, it has also long been known that Kotomine Kirei will disappear sooner or later, and his true personality will regain control of the body.

But, it is uncomfortable, and it is really hard to accept.

Familiar things disappear and never come back. This has been the most annoying thing for human beings since ancient times.

Chapter 259: Emiya Kiritsugu: I don't want to be a partner of justice!

Some people feel regretful and upset, while naturally there are also people who are looking forward to it.

These people are looking forward to the appearance of the real Kotomine Kirei and want to know what kind of person the real Kotomine Kirei is.

For example, Kotomine Kirei himself in the real world wanted to know what the real 'him' in the image on the screen looked like.

To be honest, he really felt that the false personality in the image on the screen was very boring, because it was completely different from himself, just like two different souls under the same skin, and there was no empathy at all.

At most, you will feel happy when you see the other person suffering.

Apart from this, Kotomine Kirei had no extra thoughts about the image of himself on the screen.

Therefore, Kotomine Kirei is now full of anticipation for the appearance of his true self.

-

The camera switched to where Emiya Kiritsugu was, as seen on the light screen.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu was rushing towards Fuyuki Park and had already arrived at the park entrance. The place he was heading to was the battlefield between Saber and Mordred.

Because from a distance you can see from there that from time to time there are bursts of magical shocks that soar into the sky, and magical lights of different colors are constantly flashing, and needless to say the roaring sound basically never stops.

Even standing far away, one could feel how fierce the battle between Mordred and Saber was.

However, shortly after entering the park, Emiya Kiritsugu stopped.

Because in front of him, a man in black blocked Kiritsugu Emiya's way forward, and the man looked exactly like Kiritsugu Emiya, except that his skin was a little darker and his hair was white.

This is the guardian Emiya Kiritsugu!

Moreover, facing Emiya Kiritsugu again, the guardian Kiritsugu no longer hid his true face.

In an instant, the people in the real world quickly put aside their emotions about Kotomine Kirei's recent 'death' and focused on watching the scene where Emiya Kiritsugu was facing himself.

The two men stared at each other from a distance. After a long pause, Emiya Kiritsugu said in a deep voice, "I never thought I'd want to kill myself, too. Well, this isn't surprising. After all, the thing Emiya Kiritsugu regrets most in this world is his birth."

Guardian Kiritsugu responded indifferently: "Yes, it would be best if Emiya Kiritsugu did not exist from the beginning."

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes: "Yes, I can confirm it completely, you are me..."

Then, opening his eyes, he continued, "So, you are my future self? What did I go through to become what I am now? Well, it doesn't really matter."

As he spoke, he began to move forward, saying, "If you want to kill me, you can do it after the Holy Grail War is over, but right now, I have something I must do."

Guardian Kiritsugu was indifferent, with Thomson's competitor already in his hand: "What must be done... Do you still want to kill Irisviel? In the name of a righteous partner."

Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent, but his steps never stopped. However, when he passed by the guardian Kiritsugu, his voice was low: "No, I want to protect Ai Li."

Guardian Kiritsugu was stunned, and the distance between him and Emiya Kiritsugu began to increase.

About five seconds later, the guardian Kiritsugu suddenly asked, "Have you given up?"

Emiya Kiritsugu stopped and was silent for a long time before he said, "Ah, I give up."

Suddenly, the background music of "Can You Save Her" sounded in the background, and after Emiya Kiritsugu finished speaking, he ran silently, quickly distancing himself from his guardian Kiritsugu.

The camera uses stream of consciousness at this moment, switching back and forth between the two Emiya Kiritsugu and gradually zooming away, as if implying that the two are drifting apart, and also representing that the two Emiya Kiritsugu will take completely different paths.

As Emiya Kiritsugu moved forward, his wife's memories emerged in his mind, scene after scene, and Irisviel would call out the name "Kiritsugu" with a different smile on her face each time.

Some have happy smiles, some have smiling faces, and some have gentle smiles. The different smiles fully demonstrate the position of Irisviel in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart.

At the same time, the camera also shows that Kiritsugu Emiya is always struggling and hesitant. Even for the ideal of being a righteous partner, he does not want to kill his wife.

Finally, Emiya Kiritsugu's voice rang out in a stream of consciousness.

"If you deny yourself, then what's the point of the ideal of being a partner of justice?"

"So, Emiya Kiritsugu, from now on, you can take another path."

"So, Emiya Kiritsugu, protect your wife and your daughter!"

In an instant, the camera switched to a scene with a black and white background, like a consciousness space. Emiya Kiritsugu looked ahead indifferently, and in front of him was another self.

He raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

Bah!

The other Emiya Kiritsugu was shot and slowly fell backwards.

Yet, as he fell, the man wore a smile. Emiya Kiritsugu, who had fired the shot, wept, tears streaming down his face. Those were the sorrow and relief of having killed his former self, his past obsessions and ideals.

"From now on, you belong only to Irisviel, Illyasviel's partner of justice."

"So, go ahead! Companions of justice."

-

In the real world, these scenes are truly surprising.

Everyone thought that Kiritsugu Emiya would continue to be a partner of justice and end the Holy Grail War by killing Irisviel, thereby saving more people.

But unexpectedly, he suddenly gave up and chose to protect his wife and daughter, becoming their only partner of justice. This change was really abrupt.

"H-Has Emiya Kiritsugu changed his personality? Why is he suddenly no longer a partner of justice?"

"Isn't this change too abrupt? Is this guy also schizophrenic?"

"I can't understand it. This Emiya Kiritsugu is so unfathomable. Seeing his future self denying himself, he chose to give up all the persistence he had always held? It feels like he has become a different person."

The inexplicable emotions were confusing, but some smart people, or those who understood human nature and Emiya Kiritsugu, had already seen through everything.

Professor Weber: "Remember the night when the Holy Grail War just began? When Emiya Kiritsugu was alone with Irisviel, he showed his cowardly side. At that time, he was actually struggling and entangled."

"Faced with the option of sacrificing his wife, Emiya Kiritsugu actually wanted to give up. At that time, he wanted to withdraw from the Holy Grail War with his wife Irisviel, but Irisviel persuaded him to come back."

Professor Kenneth also nodded: "Indeed, Emiya Kiritsugu seems to have made up his mind to obtain the Holy Grail, but in fact, he has never been at peace. His love for his wife has long shaken his determination to be a cold and righteous man."

"Then, when Zouken Matou posed a difficult question and asked Emiya Kiritsugu to choose, he fell into an extremely great struggle and entanglement. And when he made the decision to kill his wife before, it was also made in the midst of immense inner pain."

-

Muromachi Himeko: "So, when Emiya Kiritsugu saw his future self and was rejected by himself, the scales in his heart, which had long been shaken to the point of being unable to bear it, were completely crushed."

"You can say that Emiya Kiritsugu is running away or that he has awakened. His choice is not abrupt. It is more like the natural result of constant pressure."

"But becoming a partner of justice that belongs only to his wife and daughter is really a lot like our Agent Emiya."

The following words became slightly sarcastic. After all, although Kiritsugu Emiya in the real world was conscientious and responsible, he would definitely choose his family over his duty.

-

At Yaoguang-Chaldea Headquarters, Irisviel shed tears of sadness and emotion: "Kiritsugu..."

In the Napoleonic Empire, Emiya Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief. This was the result he wanted. As for saving more people, how could it be more important than protecting his wife?

In Southeast Asia, Emiya Norika and his wife both smiled with relief, happy about the result.

Ursus, Natalia shook her head helplessly and complained: "As expected, the adoptive mother is not as important as the wife and daughter. She hits me hard, but she has to be their only partner of justice. The difference in treatment is too much."

He said this, but the smile on his face did not fade.

At Tenno International High School, Emiya Shirou suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and was extremely excited.

He thought that the father in the image on the screen was so cool. This was the hero he respected and admired the most!

At times like this, it would be great if Illya was around. I would definitely pick her up and spin her around a few times to celebrate.

In the elementary school of Tianwang International High School, Illya jumped up happily and cheered. This was the best father in her heart.

It would be great if my brother was here with me. I would definitely ask him to pick me up and spin me around a few times to celebrate.

Well, as expected of brother and sister, they have exactly the same ideas.

-

On the light screen, Guardian Kiritsugu watched Emiya Kiritsugu walk away with background music, then slowly looked up at the bright moon in the sky and finally closed his eyes.

At this moment, the camera switched to where the guardian Emiya Shirou was. He was holding a longbow and standing on the roof of a building two kilometers away. He had been holding the longbow, but he put it down and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Obviously, Guardian Emiya Shirou was ready to rescue Emiya Kiritsugu, but Guardian Kiritsugu finally gave up attacking Emiya Kiritsugu, so his protection was no longer necessary.

At this moment, a confused and solemn voice of Jeanne rang out: "The aura over there... What on earth is going on? How could another Saber appear? Moreover, a Saber like this is obviously not normal!"

"How many cheaters are there in this Holy Grail War?"
