Public executions started with King Adonai

"But when I have another chance to save you, Tachibana, my choice has never changed..."

The shadow faded away, and the young boy Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was floating in the void, revealed his figure.

He was wearing black and looked exactly like the Ritsuka Fujimaru in Abigail's memory, except that his expression was melancholy and deep, and his eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost all his emotions.

"So, the time has come. The moment I have been waiting for has arrived."

As he was speaking, a new background music sounded, a tragic and majestic song that seemed to carry new hope, "The Last Master" sounded.

He raised his right hand, reached into his chest without any hindrance, and took out a ball of light. His body suddenly became ethereal at this moment.

Moreover, a chaotic and twisted energy began to spread throughout his body, as if the power in his body suddenly lost balance and became chaotic.

Then, the ball of light in his hand disappeared on the spot, as if it was teleported, and it suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru Ritsuka disappeared into a shadow again in silence.

The camera quickly zoomed out, and people were surprised to find that this empty area seemed to be in a bubble, and outside the bubble was a long river of bright stars.

Although it was not stated explicitly, people naturally understood what it was.

Time flows!

Ritsuka Fujimaru, whose body is illusive, is located outside the river of time.

These scenes make it difficult to understand what is happening, but one thing is certain: the Fujimaru Ritsuka who appears now should be the real Fujimaru Ritsuka, not the phantom in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world.

Moreover, this Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to know something, so he decisively took out an unknown object and teleported away.

Such a scene really makes people confused about what is going on.

However, the scenes at the beginning let people know that Ritsuka Fujimaru saved the world and destroyed the world, which seemed to be the same as what happened in the known first timeline as described in the information.

However, if you really think about it carefully, you will find that it is not the case.

Although Ritsuka Fujimaru in the first timeline destroyed the Magic Association and the United Government for revenge, the light screen image in the previous issue said that the destruction of the first timeline was due to other reasons, not Ritsuka Fujimaru.

So the question is, if that is the case, why did Fujimaru Ritsuka say in the previous scene that he destroyed the world?

Moreover, a terrifying, indescribable thing erupted from the body, destroying the world. What does that picture represent?

It really makes people worry.

-

The image on the light screen switched.

It was still the same image as the last time on the light screen. The first scene that appeared was the scene of the doomsday wasteland of Fuyuki City, and then it moved down to the area where the tree world descended.

At this moment, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama both looked surprised, because the tree world landing area under their feet burst into a dazzling white light, shining like bright stars.

Moreover, it is a situation that starts from the inside out.

Senju Hashirama couldn't help but look at Uchiha Madara: "Madara, what's going on?"

Uchiha Madara opened his red magatama eyes, and the magatama eyes quickly changed into purple Rinnegan with many circles. He observed something with these strange eyes.

Afterwards, Uchiha Madara said in a deep voice: "The world of Infinite Tsukuyomi seems to have undergone a new change. A huge force of unknown origin has emerged from within and stabilized the Infinite Tsukuyomi world that was about to collapse."

"Even the Infinite Tsukuyomi world has gained new powers of will, entering a state of illusory mist. It feels as if the illusory world is clearly there, but has been dragged into another realm."

"It's so strange, why did this happen?"

Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up: "Hahaha~ Madara, I understand, Shirou must have succeeded! Our goal of building this infinite Tsukuyomi world, recreating the past and reversing the future has been successful!"

Uchiha Madara's face darkened: "Don't joke, this is completely different from what we expected. Something must have happened inside. It's definitely not something that Shirou Emiya can do!"

Senju Hashirama didn't care: "Then Shirou must have guided someone in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world to do something. You said it was a miraculous illusion world that recreates the past and reverses the future."

"In that case, isn't it natural for anything to happen?"

Uchiha Madara: "..."

There is some truth in what he said.

Then, Uchiha Madara retorted: "How do you know this is a good change? Couldn't it be a change for the worse?"

Senju Hashirama grinned: "Because this is what Shirou is doing, I have always believed that he can do it!"

Uchiha Madara: "...It's something you can really say..."

Turning back, he continued to look towards the center of the tree world, "Then, I will trust that kid again. Let me see what kind of situation will appear in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world!"

As Uchiha Madara spoke, the scene switched and they entered the Infinite Tsukuyomi world again.

The screen went pitch black.

Then, when the screen lit up again, what appeared was the Sword Hill from Unlimited Blade Works.

What followed was the sad background music "Human Reason Light" and the voice of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"This hill of swords is the world of a man named Emiya Shirou..."

"The end of a man who constantly fights for others and lives by the motto of 'companion of justice'..."

The scene switched, and under the dusk-like yellow light, Red A, standing on the Sword Hill, appeared. He had his back to the screen, and the corners of his red windbreaker swayed in the wind. In the distance, a huge gear suspended in the air slowly turned, as if telling the tragic fate of this man.

"He seemed to be embracing this scenery, saying, 'This is enough,' and died with a smile on his face."

"Oh, what a fool..."

"Looking at this now, it's really infuriating."

The picture flickered and became blurred at this moment, and Red A's figure kept changing in the flickering, revealing another version of him.

That was... a man with silver hair, wearing a black tights, dark skin, and a hairstyle similar to that of the young Emiya Shirou.

However, he was older, in his twenties, and had been through a lot, with the temperament of a civil engineer, but his expression was melancholy and distant, his body was covered with scars, and it looked like he had suffered countless blows.

This was the Shirou Emiya who had lived, and who had fought for the ideal of being a 'partner of justice' until his last moment.

Chapter 460: The fate of Shirou Emiya and the savior is so similar

"Is this the true grown-up Emiya Shirou? Not the Guardian, but the human Emiya Shirou?"

"Wow, it feels like there's a huge difference from when I was a teenager."

"How many things have you been through to become so vicissitudes of life?"

“It makes people feel sad just looking at it.”

"The ideal of being a partner of justice is truly a nightmarish ideal. No one who wants to be a partner of justice will have a good ending."

People in the real world are sighing. Although they don’t know the specific situation yet, the combination of this picture and the background music almost makes it clear that this is a tragedy.

For those who care about Shirou Emiya, this scene alone is enough to break their defenses.

This was especially true for the people around Shirou Emiya, who were all instantly depressed.

Among them, Illya couldn't help but start crying like a loli, just suddenly and uncontrollably.

It seems that just by seeing this scene, one can feel the sadness in it.

This made Shirou Emiya flustered, and it took him a while to comfort his lovely sister to stop crying.

However, the scene that was displayed on the light screen next made Shirou Emiya himself lose his defense.

-

The camera moved to Emiya Shirou's hand, revealing a broken short sword.

The dagger then fell to the ground, as if representing that Shirou Emiya's life was as broken and meaningless as the dagger.

Ritsuka Fujimaru's voice, which sounded like a narration, sounded again along with this scene.

"Emiya Shirou has been working very hard from the beginning to the end, constantly striving as a mortal..."

"Blood and sweat, miracles are accomplished..."

In the picture, Shirou Emiya's body is slightly bent, looking lost and shabby.

"Yes, the man named Emiya Shirou saved countless lives."

"Then, Emiya Shirou deserves happiness, doesn't he?"

"Since many people have gained happiness because of him, the happiness he gets should be the sum of all these happiness."

"After all, that's what happiness is about 'Justice Partners'."

“However, it didn’t.”

As these words sounded, scenes kept switching.

In the Middle East, in Africa, and in war-torn areas, Shirou Emiya, armed with a black bow and arrow, wearing a black tights and a gray cloak, moves around everywhere, killing those who do bad things with guns, and saving many people who are persecuted by warlords and terrorists.

However, the final scene shows Shirou Emiya being hated and betrayed by the people he saved, and eventually being sent to the gallows.

With a clang, the screen showed an abstract image of a gallows opening and a person being hanged.

Then the screen went black.

What it represents is undoubtedly the death of Shirou Emiya.

This scene made countless people feel uncomfortable and extremely depressed.

Before, people had speculated about how Shirou Emiya died.

Based on Shirou Emiya's potential and strength, as well as his ideals as a partner of justice, the most common speculation is that Shirou Emiya died in response to some major crisis and died on the battlefield in order to save more people.

Or maybe he would face off against a powerful evil villain and ultimately die in the battle.

Moreover, the result of the battle is usually mutual destruction, or a tragic victory followed by death from serious injuries.

In short, no matter which possibility it is, the final result is that Shirou Emiya must have worked very hard, given everything, and died in a very tragic and legendary way.

This result is the only way a righteous partner should die.

However, reality gave people a hard slap in the face.

Shirou Emiya was actually betrayed by the person he saved, and it was the person he saved who was sent to the gallows and executed.

What is this ghost?

What the hell is this?

Shirou Emiya died in such a miserable way!?

Unacceptable, incomprehensible, unimaginable.

Such a strong man, one who would give everything to save others.

Even those who think it is very saintly and do not care about it cannot accept such a result.

After all, this is a very unheroic way to die.

However, putting aside the legendary nature, it seems that such a result seems very realistic?

Stories require logic, but reality does not. What reality requires is absurdity, because absurdity often represents reality.

The people around Emiya Shirou were broken.

Emiya Shirou himself was also broken.

Such a result is really hard to accept.

Frustrated, angry, helpless, and confused.

All kinds of negative emotions linger in everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to calm down.

Even in this situation, at the Matou family's mansion in Tokyo, Matou Shinji felt annoyed, but he remained calm and commented, "Sakura, don't you think this result is very similar to that of the siblings?"

Matou Sakura, who was sulking, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean... they look a lot like the Fujimaru siblings!?"

It's indeed very similar.

They both saved many people, created many achievements, and died due to human betrayal.

The difference is that Shirou Emiya died, while among the Fujimaru siblings, it was Fujimaru Tachibana who died.

Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya only saved the people he could, while the Fujimaru siblings saved the world.

Essentially, there is no decisive difference between the two.

They were all betrayed and eventually suffered misfortune because of the betrayal.
