Public executions started with King Adonai

And when a certain speculation is really characterized and confirmed as a fact, many people will spread this qualitative speculation everywhere.

Just like now.

Some people even go a step further in their speculation, targeting the real Shinji Matou in the image on the light screen.

These people all believe that Shinji Matou is actually no longer a human being, and the person sitting on the chair is not a real human being. It is very likely that Shinji Matou has transformed himself into a robot, a supercomputer, or other very sci-fi, very cyberpunk things.

Although such a situation is too sci-fi and unbelievable in the early 2000s when it appeared in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, if this technology is added with a magical background, then no matter how unbelievable the truth is, it is possible to achieve it.

After all, no one knows what kind of sparks will be created when magic and technology collide.

In the light curtain image, the camera returned to Fujimaru Tachika and Matou Shinji, and Matou Shinji also said the next words.

"But since you said your sister is the one the Guardians are looking for, then, since you failed to save your sister, isn't the Light of Humanity's construction of this illusory world a form of redemption?"

"You also said that in order to keep your sister alive, you even asked her to take on the responsibility of saving the world again."

"Since you've already realized this, then when the hope of saving your sister comes, shouldn't you seize it?"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head to look at Shirou Emiya who was lying on the ground with his consciousness already blurred, and then looked into the distance.

At this moment, the image on the light screen gave a bird's-eye view of Fuyuki City, allowing one to clearly see the situation of the entire Fuyuki City.

People were shocked to find that Fuyuki City was collapsing.

Collapsing from the outermost edge of Fuyuki City inward, the world has been torn apart, the border areas have begun to blur, and a huge trench has formed around Fuyuki City, turning from the outermost area into a mosaic like a data stream and collapsing into the endless abyss.

This infinite moon reading world is collapsing.

Then, the scene returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka again.

The boy said slowly: "I really want to save my sister, and I do have this obsession."

"However, that was based on the real me. When I realized I was just an illusion of the past, I knew that my obsession with protecting and saving my sister had failed."

"Since the original body has already failed, this so-called second chance is nothing but a joke to me. When the real world has already entered a new timeline, what is the point of my arrangements in this second timeline?"

Shinji Matou listened to Ritsuka Fujimaru's words in silence, and the latter's words revealed only indifference and dullness.

In response to this, Shinji Matou also gave a response. He did not continue to persuade, but suddenly asked another question.

"Speaking of which, why would you want to continue your existence by having your sister shoulder the mission of saving the world once again?"

"Or, why does your sister need to do this in order to continue to exist?"

“…” Fujimaru Ritsuka remained silent and did not answer this question.

Matou Shinji didn't take it seriously, but continued to analyze the topic mutteringly: "You don't want to say it? Or do you not want to mention this topic? However, since you don't object, let me analyze it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: “…”

Shinji Matou: "First, the first timeline has ended, and you, as a key figure and savior of the first timeline, exist in the second timeline. Although you are in the form of a child, you retain the memories of the previous timeline. This raises the first question - did the end of the first timeline restart you along with it?"

"If you successfully reboot, you will only have recovered your memories of your past life."

"But if you didn't reboot, and instead used other methods to become what you are now, then that undoubtedly means you've mastered the power to reshape the world without being affected by the timeline reboot."

"This is terrifying. It means that the level of your existence has transcended the constraints of time and space."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: “…”

There was no answer, just quietly looking at Matou Shinji, as if watching Matou Shinji's "performance".

Shinji Matou didn't expect to get a response from Ritsuka Fujimaru, so he continued to analyze.

"Then, based on this speculation, it only makes sense that your sister Fujimaru Tachibana would also enter the second timeline."

"But there is a core question. That is, Fujimaru Tachibana in the first timeline has already died because of the Magic Association. How did she accompany you to the second timeline?"

"Have you mastered some means of resurrection?"

"Or was it that her soul was preserved through special means and then brought to the new timeline?"

"Of course, another possibility is reincarnation. You found your sister's reincarnation in the second timeline and successfully reunited with her."

"However, this is the least likely scenario, because if Fujimaru Tachibana is truly reincarnated, she won't need to rely on taking on the responsibility of salvation to maintain her existence."

"Since you need special means to even survive, it proves that your sister is not in good condition."

"So, I guess you must have used special means to bring the soul of your sister Fujimaru Tachibana to the new timeline."

"So, even though you clearly detest being called a savior, you still have to make your sister, whom you finally found, shoulder this disgusting mission. And all this is because you want your sister to survive. This is necessary."

"So, what exactly is the reason for using this method to achieve all this?"

Chapter 444: Fujimaru Tachibana Denied by the World

Shinji Matou's words are analysis, speculation, and narration.

As he spoke, the background music became darker and darker, and people in the real world couldn't help but think about his words and found them very strange.

Having suffered a tragic betrayal and lost almost everything, Fujimaru Ritsuka should be very disgusted with the mission of "saving the world". Why did he let his sister take on such a mission?

Moreover, they need to shoulder this mission in order to continue to exist. What about Fujimaru Tachibana?

Countless people want to know the answer, countless people are guessing, and countless people are analyzing based on what Shinji Matou said, who has more information.

In response to Matou Shinji's analysis, the boy on the screen, Fujimaru Ritsuka, simply said calmly, "You do have a lot of information, and you've guessed a lot. Indeed, the mission of saving the world disgusts me. Or rather, my sister and I have never considered becoming saviors."

"We've come to this point simply because we have to do something. After all, in that environment, we don't have any desire to shoulder any responsibility. All we want to do is survive."

Matou Shinji nodded: "Indeed, many times, people only pursue ordinary things, but when it comes to fighting, they have to fight, because if they don't fight, they will die."

These words represented Shinji Matou's approval, and he was not surprised by Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer.

In other words, this robot Shinji Matou never showed any surprise and remained very calm from beginning to end - after receiving the information, he was able to analyze and respond at super high speed.

In fact, this is a conversation between a computer and an intelligent creature who is not sure whether it is human or not.

Adding that mysterious skull-masked man, these three people together really don’t make up a normal person.

But for people in the real world, Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer made them stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt that this savior was not so great, and had a down-to-earth feeling.

Originally, in people's imagination, Ritsuka Fujimaru, as the savior, should be a person with a strong sense of mission like a superhero, who is obliged to embark on the road of saving the world and brings personal heroism to the extreme.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

From the very beginning, Fujimaru Ritsuka never thought of becoming a hero or a savior. The reason why he took that step and became the twin saviors with his sister was so simple, so simple that anyone facing the same situation as this brother and sister would make the same choice.

only……

It's to live.

yes……

If they could survive, who among the ordinary people would be willing to risk being killed to save the world?

Although there is no clear information, the "Honkai Impact" that is enough to cause the complete destruction of all human civilization is definitely a terrifying enemy. The brother and sister Fujimaru Ritsuka and Fujimaru Rikka have experienced countless dangers and life-threatening situations, and even suffered countless injuries and pain, before they finally achieved their great feat.

As the two reserve masters, they were definitely not very old at the time, and must have been very young, otherwise they would not be reserve masters, but official masters.

It was this pair of young siblings who ultimately saved the world.

Really...

It's pitiful.

What followed was an even deeper hatred towards the United Government and the Magic Association of the First Timeline.

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

The extraordinary people in the real world all clenched their fists at this moment.

If there still is a magic association in the real world, the extraordinary people will definitely put aside the mysterious things and bury the magic association first.

On the screen, Matou Shinji continued, "Well, combining the information I know, another piece of information has been confirmed. Now, there's only one confirmation left—do you mind if I tell you my theory?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said calmly, "As I said, we are all just illusions of the past. It doesn't matter whether we reveal it or not. In fact, I also want to know whether you can deduce the correct answer."

Matou Shinji: "That's the answer you wanted to hear."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "...Maybe."

Matou Shinji: "The answer is - when you and your sister Fujimaru Tachika were imprisoned by the Magic Association and subjected to magical experiments, your sister Fujimaru Tachika must have suffered something even more terrible."

"This horrific research has even altered the very nature of Fujimaru Rikka's existence to a degree so terrifying that she is rejected and denied by the world."

"Because of this, your sister can't even be 'resurrected' through the restart of the timeline and the reshaping of the world, because the world's denial and rejection will completely erase an existence through the restart of the timeline."

"Of course, those beings who are powerful enough to withstand the restart of the timeline are not included, but your sister Fujimaru Tachibana is obviously not among them."

"You used your methods to bring your sister Fujimaru Tachika's existence to a new timeline, 'resurrecting' her through reincarnation. However, the world denied her, causing your sister Fujimaru Tachika's existence to become extremely vague and unstable, and she could disappear at any time."

"So, in order for your sister to continue to exist, she must accomplish certain great deeds—for example, becoming recognized by the Heroic Spirits again, shouldering the mission of saving the world, and thus obtaining the world's 'pardon'."

After a pause, Matou Shinji continued, "However, this trick doesn't give you much time. Just as the time constructed by this Infinite Tsukuyomi world is when you and your sister were reincarnated and were still young, your sister must have disappeared during this Holy Grail War due to the world's denial of existence."

"You are just a powerless child. Even if you have tried your best, the cruelty of the world will still deny you everything."

"Because the world is emotionless. Everything is governed by the rules of its existence. The world instinctively operates according to these rules, and these rules are designed to deny Fujimaru Tachibana's existence. Therefore, she has no power to defy these rules, and even if you do your best to protect her, she will ultimately be unable to withstand them."

"This is why you worked so hard, why you persisted, and why you let your sister shoulder the heavy responsibility of 'saving' once again."

After hearing what Shinji Matou said, Fujimaru Ritsuka remained silent and did not respond, but the sadness in the boy's eyes was revealed uncontrollably.

Obviously, Shinji Matou's guess and inference were correct, and Fujimaru Ritsuka was indeed like that.

It's a pity that in the real second timeline, Fujimaru Ritsuka failed. This unfortunate person who once saved the world and indirectly caused the end of human history in the first timeline still ended up with misfortune in the end.

But for people in the real world, this truth is undoubtedly cruel.

Countless people couldn't help but ask soul-searching questions.

Why?

Why is it that Fujimaru Tachibana, the girl who saved the world, is rejected and excluded by the world in the end, and ultimately has no right to continue existing?

Why should the Fujimaru siblings have to endure such misfortune?

Why did Fujimaru Ritsuka work so hard, but still end up with a sad ending?

Why are those magic associations that once persecuted the savior's siblings able to continue to exist in the later timeline?

Why can the bad guys continue to survive in the new timeline while the good guys have to suffer misfortune?

Damn it, just ask why! ! ! !

Angry! Unwilling! Frustrated! Difficult to accept!

People's emotions are surging, going crazy, and roaring.

Negative emotions are boiling over, and are also causing people to develop a strong rebellious mentality.

A large amount of fantasy power was generated, and even more faith power was generated crazily.

This tragic reality of watching the savior suffer misfortune but being unable to change it has caused strong emotions among all mankind.

I want change, I want to speak up for justice, I want to yell for this brother and sister.

In this way, a person of faith called the 'Savior' was created and took shape at an extremely fast speed.

This is much better than simply portraying the greatness and justice of a savior.

If the film only portrays the savior's might and struggle, people will admire him, worship him, and be happy, but they will also feel that he is "too far away" and thus will not have such a big emotional reaction.

However, when it unfolds in a tragic way, it is completely different.

Since ancient times, why is it that among all classic plots, only tragedies can truly shock people?

Because sadness is often more intense and memorable than happiness.

Su Yun knew this truth very well.

People say they hate tragedy, but it is often tragedy that leaves the deepest impression.

Since everything about the light screen image is for the purpose of imagination, for building the extraordinary, and for creating faith.

Well, naturally we have to come up with some 'dry stuff' that will leave people wanting more!

This is exactly what is happening now. The experience of the Fujimaru siblings has stimulated people in the real world. Coupled with the suggestive effect of the light screen images, 99% of the world's human beings instantly achieved emotional "resonance".
