Public executions started with King Adonai

"Let's see what Emiya Kiritsugu will choose first!"

Then, Emiya Kiritsugu was heard saying on the screen image: "Of course, he took the ship with 300 people."

Then, a new response came from the TV: "After you made the decision, two hundred people on the other ship captured you and asked you to repair their ship first."

"So, what will you do?"

This moment is soul-searching and makes people in the real world feel deep malice.

"There are only so few humans left, and you're still doing this kind of thing?"

"If one ship is damaged, why not just transfer to another? Why are you being so selfish?"

"No, this is normal. As the saying goes, we should worry about scarcity rather than disparity."

"Besides, how could transferring people be that simple? What if the two ships were damaged and sank very quickly? What if there weren't enough small boats to transfer people? Don't forget, not everyone can swim. On a ship like the Last Ark, there definitely wouldn't be enough lifebuoys and other equipment for everyone."

"Hiss~~ This is terrifying. What is Emiya Kiritsugu going to do?"

Along with these questions, Emiya Kiritsugu on the screen whispered solemnly, "If I were to encounter that situation, I would..."

He didn't say it directly, and seemed a little hesitant.

However, suddenly, gunshots were heard outside the window, and flashes of gunfire appeared, transmitting into the room through the drawn curtains.

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression changed slightly, then he slowly stepped forward and opened the curtains.

In an instant, the scene before his eyes changed again, and Emiya Kiritsugu was suddenly transferred to a ship.

What I saw before me was a ground full of corpses and blood.

At this moment, the light screen images showed various places of the ship, including the cockpit, passenger cabin, cabin, deck, and corridor.

Everywhere was covered with blood and corpses. Everyone was shot and fell in a pool of blood because of the fatal bullets. It was like a massacre scene and was shocking to watch.

Then, the camera returned to Emiya Kiritsugu, and an electronic sound sounded.

"Kill those two hundred people and save the remaining three hundred—that's right. This is the choice Emiya Kiritsugu would make."

At this voice, Emiya Kiritsugu widened his eyes in astonishment, and the people in the real world were also shocked.

In the end, countless emotions and countless words, after brewing for a while, turned into curses full of local characteristics from all over the world.

But as they cursed, thinking of what Emiya Kiritsugu had done before, everyone suddenly realized—

This is something that Kiritsugu Emiya could do!

Chapter 293: The result of the reversal, the end of the previous timeline

real world.

Yaoguang - Chaldea Headquarters.

Irisviel covered her mouth. "Is this... Kiritsugu's way of saving the world... Well, fortunately, my Kiritsugu doesn't have such thoughts..."

Outside Orleans.

After being stunned, Emiya Kiritsugu revealed an expression of 'as expected'. It was obvious that he was not surprised by such a choice, because he had long seen through the character of himself in the image on the screen.

Tianwang International High School.

Emiya Shirou: "Such a thing...such a thing...can such a thing be considered justice? The so-called saving the world means killing some people to save the rest? What a joke!?"

Tianwang International High School, Elementary School.

Illya was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

-

On the light screen, just when Emiya Kiritsugu had an expression as if he had been shocked for a hundred years, a cell phone rang.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked down and found that there was a mobile phone in his right hand. When he looked up again, he found himself back in the hotel bedroom.

This scene transition is very abrupt, giving people a very weird feeling. Combined with the underworld BGM, it is like being in some kind of brain-burning horror movie.

After a slight hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

Then, the electronic voice sounded again: "Next, the 300 survivors abandoned the damaged ship and boarded two new ships to continue sailing."

"This time there were 200 people on board and 100 on board respectively, and both vessels had holes in their bottoms at the same time."

"Then, you are kidnapped by people on a small boat with 100 people, and they ask you to repair their boat first - then, what will you do?"

It’s the same question again, the same multiple-choice question again.

Like nesting dolls.

However, it is this kind of nesting doll that makes people's scalps tingle, because everyone realizes that this is a fatal problem posed to Kiritsugu Emiya's habits.

Many people couldn't help but complain that the quality of this boat was really poor and it always had holes in it.

Of course, this is just a silly remark to lighten the mood. In fact, everyone can guess what choice Kiritsugu Emiya will make.

On the screen, just as Emiya Kiritsugu was about to say something, the phone was suddenly hung up.

When Emiya Kiritsugu put down his phone and looked at it, he looked up again and found that he had arrived at Fuyuki Port, and an explosion suddenly occurred in the sea in the distance.

Looking closely, I saw that it was a small boat that exploded. The people on board were burning, screaming, and dying in the flames. No one escaped.

What this scene represents has been clearly revealed.

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression trembled, and he was greatly shocked. The previous electronic sound sounded again, but this time it became extremely clear, without the interference of the electronic sound.

"Yes, you are correct."

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was a little hoarse, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to deny it: "Are you kidding? What's wrong with this?"

"Only two hundred people survived, yet three hundred died! The needle of the scales is pointing the wrong way!"

hiss~~

Good guy!

It turns out that you thought it was wrong, because more people died because of two consecutive choices?

Holy shit, you're Emiya Kiritsugu, your way of thinking is truly unique. In your mind, human lives are just numbers! And the one with the most numbers is the correct one!

-

The electronic sound rang out again on the light screen, using Emiya Kiritsugu's voice to interrogate his soul.

"No, that's not a mistake. You will indeed choose to sacrifice the minority in order to save the majority."

"Isn't that right? Emiya Kiritsugu."

"You have been personally destroying the few who failed to tip the scales in your favor."

"Even if this creates a sea of blood and corpses, as long as lives can be saved, the number of lives saved is more precious."

Hearing these words of soul torture, Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice: "Is this... what you want to show me?"

Electronic voice: "Yes, this is your truth—the answer in the heart of the man named Emiya Kiritsugu!"

Emiya Kiritsugu returned to the island where he started, and the black rain became even thicker.

"That is, this is what the Holy Grail should do as a wish-granting machine."

hiss~~

My goodness, this contaminated Holy Grail is indeed evil.

In other words, if Emiya Kiritsugu really made a wish to save the world to this Holy Grail, would the Holy Grail fulfill the wish by killing people?

So how many people should be killed?

Kill the criminals who will cause disaster?

Kill the ambitious and ambitious people?

Killing people with conflicts of interest?

Killing people who are arguing with each other?

Kill people with evil intentions?

Kill...

hiss~~

In this case, how many people must be killed to truly save the world and bring world peace?

You have to know that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are conflicts, from small ones like those between neighbors or even family members to big ones like those between countries.

How can this so-called true peace be truly achieved?

On the screen, Emiya Kiritsugu was clearly aware of this problem and immediately denied it loudly: "No, I don't want that! Even if I really want to save the world, I hope there is another way!"

At this point, his voice deepened, as if recalling his former self who had persisted in his ideals. "So... I used to only be able to hope for a 'miracle'..."

Then, that voice—or more accurately, the voice of the Holy Grail—rang out again.

"You cannot include in your wish methods that you yourself do not know. If you wish to save the world, then your wish can only be achieved through means that you know."

What this means is that if Kiritsugu Emiya really makes a wish to the Holy Grail, he will save the world in Kiritsugu Emiya's way, which means he will definitely kill a lot of people.

Hearing this, the hairs of people in the real world stood on end. They just felt that it was a good thing that Emiya Kiritsugu did not make a wish to the Holy Grail, otherwise it would have been terrible.

At the same time, there is also a strong fear of those so-called righteous people who want to save the world and those who have a heroic complex.

If such a person really finds a way to perform a miracle, then once that miracle thing makes a wish for world peace, it will be the greatest disaster in the world.

It is a disaster that is ten thousand times more severe than the damage currently caused to the earth by the mysterious things!

-

On the screen of light, Emiya Kiritsugu directly denied the Holy Grail's words: "How can this... be called a miracle?"

The Voice of the Holy Grail: "Of course it's a miracle—this is the ambition you once made but never achieved on your own."

"And the Holy Grail can accomplish what you desire on a scale that is humanly impossible. If this isn't a miracle, what is it?"

Emiya Kiritsugu heard this and was about to say something when suddenly the scene in front of him changed.

The long-dead Emiya Norikata appeared before him.

Then, before Emiya Kiritsugu could react, he heard a gunshot and Emiya Norika fell in a pool of blood.

Then, the scene changed and showed a speedboat. A roaring sound was heard and a plane exploded in the sky.

In just a few seconds, Emiya Kiritsugu "relived" the feeling of killing his father and mother.

This gave Emiya Kiritsugu a great psychological shock, and then the sound of the Holy Grail rang out.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you are the true 'Angora Mainyu', the perfect person to bear 'all the evils of this world'."

When the words fell, Emiya Kiritsugu realized that he had changed the scene again, and came to a small wooden house.

There were three people in front of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Hisau Maiya in a black butler uniform, Illya who looks only four or five years old, and Irisviel in a white dress.

The Voice of the Holy Grail: "Then, one last question - with three people left, will you save two or one?"

Then, Kiritsugu Emiya found that his body moved on its own, and a dagger appeared in his hand. He walked over and cut off Hisau Maiya's throat with one knife.

Such a scene has completely turned Emiya Kiritsugu into a wooden man, and it also makes people in the real world feel terrified. The strong malice that comes through the light screen image is really unbearable.

Then, while Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned, the scene before his eyes changed again, and he came to a luxurious, large room in a medieval European castle.

Illya's lovely voice rang out: "Welcome home, Kiritsugu! You're finally back!"

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu subconsciously looked up and saw a large bed in front of him with his wife and daughter lying on it.

As his daughter spoke, Illya ran over happily, jumped up, and threw herself into Kiritsugu Emiya's arms like a sweet little cotton-padded jacket, asking for a hug. Kiritsugu Emiya also subconsciously hugged Illya, and the latter clung to Kiritsugu with a happy face.

If you just look at the pictures, it's quite heartwarming, but unfortunately the background music is very dark, and people in the real world know that this is just an illusion created by the Holy Grail, so they all feel a strong sense of malice.

The more heartwarming the scene, the more sinister it is in this situation, representing the intense malice of the Holy Grail towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

At this moment, on the screen, Irisviel, who was lying on the bed, looked at Emiya Kiritsugu tenderly and said, "Well? Do you understand? This is how the Holy Grail will grant your wish, Kiritsugu."

"All you have to do next is make this wish—resurrect your wife and bring your daughter back."

Emiya Kiritsugu: “…”
