Public executions started with King Adonai

Matou Zouken was stunned: "Could it be... Sakura?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi spoke calmly, as if narrating a story: "Machiri Zolgen is a genius magician who possesses many lost techniques. After transforming into Matou Zouken, he has discovered the technology to create the Holy Grail through countless research."

"Even though this Holy Grail technology is vastly different from that of the Einzbern family, and the resulting Holy Grail carrier is destined to be unstable and cursed, what difference does it make to Matou Zouken?"

"After all, the great wizard who was once full of ideals, who even wanted to save the world and eliminate all evil, has degenerated into a mere insect who simply seeks to survive and achieve immortality."

"So, he needs a vessel, a vessel for the Holy Grail that can withstand his malicious, desperate, and demonic transformation."

"At this time, the head of the Tosaka family sent the second daughter of the Tosaka family, who is very suitable to be the carrier of his transformation."

"Matou Zouken was very pleased with this. After taking the Tōsaka family's second daughter in, he used every possible means to transform her. When he discovered that she could withstand the transformation and was highly adaptable, he implanted the contaminated Holy Grail fragment he had obtained during the Third Holy Grail War into her body, completing the final transformation."

"However, what Matou Zouken didn't know was that the one who truly needed this carrier was actually the head of the Tōsaka family himself. Everything he did ultimately became a wedding dress for Tōsaka Tokiomi, helping Tōsaka Tokiomi complete the most important step in his plan."

"So—do you like this script, Mr. Matou?"

Matou Zouken listened to these words in a daze. After a long while, he said in a stiff voice, "You, you... what are you talking about? What do you mean by a magician who is full of ideals and even wants to save the world and eliminate all evil?"

"W-What are you talking about?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi tilted his head slightly. "Is this what you're focusing on in relation to my words? And, with such a tone... I see, have you completely forgotten your memories as Machiri-Zolgen?"

"You may still remember the name Machili Zorgen, but it's clear that you've completely forgotten your past."

"Indeed, five hundred years is far too long for humans. It's enough to turn a once glorious and great person into a lowly, ugly insect."

Matou Zouken: "No, this is not right, this is definitely not right, Tōsaka Tokiomi, you..."

However, Tōsaka Tokiomi was in no mood to continue listening to Matou Zouken. He looked at Sakura and said, "Let's finish him off, Sakura."

Matou Zouken's frightened and anxious voice rang out: "Wait! Wait! Little..."

Bang!

There was a sound like a beetle being crushed. Sakura squeezed hard with her right hand, and the strange insect in her hand exploded.

Then, the puppet Sakura let go, and the body of Zouken Matou's strange insect had become shriveled and tattered, and fell softly to the ground.

Tohsaka Tokiomi turned around and walked into the cave, followed by Sakura, who followed in.

At the scene, only the body of the strange insect Matou Zouken was left.

However, the insect was not dead yet, just like a cockroach, but its body could no longer move, and the painful voice of Matou Zouken was still ringing like an ethereal object.

"I don't want to die... I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

It is this repetition that expresses Zouken Matou's will to survive. He is really a cockroach.

However, it was of no use, as its life had already come to an end, and its crushed body could not move.

At this moment, the background music "The Gatekeeper" sounded, and at the same time, a voice was also rang out. It was a female voice that was very similar to Irisviel's voice.

"I ask you, my enemy, why don't you want to die?"

Along with this voice, the picture flashed, and a female figure wearing a white robe, who looked exactly like Irisviel, but with a cold expression and dull eyes, stood beside her, like a female pope.

Seeing this phantom, Matou Zouken was stunned for several seconds, and finally slowly read out a name: "Yus... Tisa..."

The next moment, the end of memories appeared, and in an area full of white light, a person's heavy and old voice sounded.

"To solve all the evils, you need a miracle."

As the voice fell, three people appeared.

The person on the left walked out first, revealing his appearance as an Oriental man wearing a kimono and with long hair.

He actually looks somewhat similar to Tōsaka Tokiomi, and he smiles with an elegant and calm expression: "If this world is beyond salvation, as a human being, we cannot be isolated from sin..."

Then, the person on the right walked out. He was a handsome young man with blue kelp hair, wearing a black trench coat in the 19th century British style and a standard British gentleman's suit underneath.

This was none other than the young Zouken Matou, or rather, Machiri Zolgen. He stepped forward and said with a determined look, "If the utopia is located in a place beyond the reach of human power..."

The next moment, the scene shifted to the person in the middle, who was the shadow that had appeared next to Matou Zouken's real body before. He had a smile on his face and spoke in a calm and sacred voice.

"Then we must pursue a completely new form of being that is capable of surpassing humanity!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the picture changed again, the distance was widened, and three people appeared at the same time. They stood face to face in a triangle, and all three of them spoke at the same time.

"Yes, to curb all the evil in the world..."

The three of them raised their right hands, held them above their heads, and touched each other's hands, as if they had reached some kind of oath, and said their final words.

"We are willing to bet our lives on this wish!"

Then, the memories fell into darkness, and the melancholy voice of Matou Zouken was heard.

"Over five hundred years ago... Looking back now, this long-cherished wish was forgotten in the blink of an eye..."

Then, the camera on the light screen returned to display, and the body of the strange insect, Matou Zouken, was no longer moving on the ground. The camera was also shining vertically on it, and began to slowly rise and rotate.

"Ah... Humans, just like Tōsaka Tokiomi said, are creatures that easily forget the past..."

After saying this, Matou Zouken seemed to have given up all will to live. At this moment, his body quickly decayed, as if he had suddenly experienced countless years. In less than two seconds, he completely turned into a pile of ashes and disappeared with the night wind.

Chapter 264 The Holy Grail of All the Evil in This World

In the real world, after watching this scene, people finally understood what Tohsaka Tokinari did to Matou Zouken.

Although the previous light screen images also showed various situations to prove that Matou Zouken had been used by Tōsaka Tokiomi, the specific details were still not very clear.

Until now, I have a thorough understanding of the situation.

I have to say, this guy Tōsaka Tokiomi is really terrifying.

Whether it is thought or action, it is extremely terrifying. It is completely using the word to the extreme. After using up all the use value of Matou Zouken, he throws away the other party like a broken rag.

It must be admitted that this villain has all the qualities and charm he should have.

Considering that the guy being used is the old bug Matou Zouken, it really makes people feel very comfortable.

Even though the memories of Matou Ryougen later appeared, allowing people to see the once dream-filled Machiri Zolgen again, it only made people sigh. Most people still felt that Matou Zouken died well, and would not feel sad or regretful for his death.

At the same time, people also began to discuss the last memory scene of Zouken Matou.

"As for the last three people, I won't talk about the young Old Bug. Who are the other two? Who is that woman who looks exactly like Irisviel? Don't tell me that's Irisviel. Her temperament is completely different."

"Achieve miraculous power, and then vow together to eradicate all evil from the world? Hiss ...

"God damn weirdo, you want to make me laugh to death."

"Fuck, I get it now. I figured it out. The other two should be the ancestors of the three great families of the Holy Grail War. The oriental man with long black hair must be the ancestor of the Tōsaka family, and the woman in the middle should be the ancestor of the Einzbern family."

"I can understand the ancestors of the Tōsaka family, but how come the ancestors of the Einzbern family look exactly like Irisviel?"

"Have you forgotten? Irisviel was created as the Holy Grail's carrier. It's obvious that the Einzber family imitated her."

"That woman, I think her name is Justisa? I think Zouken Matou mentioned that name."

"Also, whose voice was that at the beginning? It didn't show up, so it obviously wasn't the voice of those three people."

"Aside from the Three Great Families, were there other people involved in the creation of the Holy Grail War?"

"So, this is actually the origin of the Holy Grail War? The three great families came together to eliminate all evil in the world and created the Holy Grail War?"

"So this is what the ancestors of the three great families of the Holy Grail War were like. They all seemed to be good people? At least, their determination to eliminate all evil in the world can be considered a completely righteous act, right?"

"Justice... I'm reminded of Emiya Kiritsugu again, 'Partner of Justice'?"

"Stop talking about it. This kind of justice doesn't make people feel at ease. It only makes people feel scared."

"Well, the three great families of the Holy Grail War shouldn't be that superficial, right?"

"My friend, I think you're still too naive. How many magicians are normal people? Or, in other words, how different are their thinking patterns from those of normal people?"

"Oh my God, I'm starting to panic."

"It's truly sad. The Machiri-Zolgen who once aspired to save the world, over the years, has become the very thing he once hated. He's even forgotten what he stood for."

"That's just human nature. People change, and it's normal to become the person you once hated the most."

"After five hundred years of obsession, he finally discovered that the immortality he sought wasn't what he truly desired. Reflecting on this, the old bug, once known as Machiri Zorgon and now known as Matou Zouken, finally gave up all will to live and let himself vanish into the wind."

"It's really sad..."

People's speculations and thoughts are basically all about the characters that have newly appeared in the memories. After all, this represents the past of Zouken Matou and is also involved in the original secret of the Holy Grail War.

By now, many secrets of the Holy Grail War have been exposed. Although people still have many questions, they are no longer completely ignorant of the Holy Grail War, and their understanding of it exceeds that of most people in the image on the screen.

I have to say that as far as the story is concerned, this is really a story with ups and downs, full of twists and turns and mysteries.

-

In the underground of Orleans, the high-level mysterious master Zouken Matou is feeling a little unhappy.

The reason for being unhappy was naturally because the person in the image on the screen was dead.

Although such an outcome had been anticipated, the manner of death was not.

It is obvious that Zouken Matou in the image on the screen can still struggle to survive and continue to live with the cockroach-like vitality.

However, after recalling his past as Machiri-Zolgen, this guy actually gave up the idea of ​​surviving.

Such "cowardice" made the high-level secret master Matou Zouken very unhappy, and he felt that the "self" in the image on the light screen was an insult to the name of Matou Zouken.

Since he is Zouken Matou, he should have the obsession to continue living no matter what happens, no matter the cost, no matter how many people die.

"Without the determination to 'live', you are nothing more than a maggot unworthy of the name Matou Zouken."

The advanced mysterious Matou Zouken said this, which was a denial of the image on the light screen, and it was also a necessary denial.

Because, according to the advanced mystic Matou Zouken, if he doesn't deny the other party, it means that his obsession is wrong.

Will he think he was wrong?

Certainly not!

Therefore, the one who is wrong must be the light screen image itself.

-

Outside of Orleans, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, who had already arrived here, sighed with regret. Compared to others, he was most deeply touched by the death of Machiri Zolgen.

After all, in the image on the screen, he and Machili-Zolgen are good friends.

Seeing the passing of his good friend, it was naturally difficult for Yuichiro Tsugikuni to calm down.

Although he always looks calm and composed on the outside, he is actually delicate and emotional on the inside.

-

Meanwhile, the people of the Matou family in Tokyo didn't have much to say about Zouken Matou's death. If they had to say anything, it would probably be, "This old worm is finally dead."

Don’t say that Zouken Matou was a good person before, and a righteous person with ideals and ambitions who longed to save the world.

That was in the past. Just because he was a good person before, can he be forgiven for doing those cruel things later?

If this is really the case, what are the police for?

So, good riddance, old bug!

-

Yaoguang - Chaldea Headquarters.

Wuliangta Jizi thought for a while, then said, "Now the content of "Tsukuniken Ichiden" and the Holy Grail War are connected together."

"Apparently, after separating from Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Machiri-Zolgen returned to Europe, where he met the ancestors of the Einzbern and Tōsaka families, who shared similar aspirations."

"Then, the three of them resolved to create the Holy Grail to fulfill their long-cherished wish, and they returned to Yingzhou once again. Perhaps their choice of Yingzhou had a lot to do with their first visit there."

"Following the successful Holy Grail War ritual, the three families began to harbor hatred over the Holy Grail. This can be seen when the Einzbern ancestor, Justissa, called Matou Zouken an enemy."

"This is only natural, and it's also a fundamental human trait—when they share a common goal, they can work together with sincerity and dedication. But once a major conflict of interest arises, they immediately turn against each other."

"Perhaps it was during these Holy Grail Wars that Machiri Zolgen gradually lost himself, gradually forgetting his former aspirations, and ultimately becoming the corrupted insect known as Matou Zouken."

Morgan, standing nearby, elegantly summed it up: "This is how the so-called savior ultimately degenerates into a demon king. How ironic."

For some reason, when the title of savior was mentioned, Morgan felt ironic from the bottom of her heart, and felt that this term made her inexplicably irritated.

So, saviors and such, just stay away!
