Type-Moon Review 2
Volume 1
Chapter 49
At this moment, in the light curtain.
[Emiya Kiritsugu, who had luckily taken refuge in the box, could only watch the black mud surging like a tsunami engulfing the entire first floor of the auditorium. ]
[The cursed waterfall that fell from the sky seemed endless. The black mud overflowing from the auditorium gathered into a dark river, surging out from the entrance of the Civic Hall and spreading to the surrounding streets. ]
[A silent killing quietly unfolded. ]
[Just when people were immersed in dreams, the black mud of death seemed to be able to smell the breath of life, turning into a burning curse, launching a fierce attack on innocent people. 】
[Homes were burned down, gardens turned to ashes, no matter the people who were sleeping or the creatures who woke up and tried to escape, they were not spared and were all burned without a trace. 】
[The evil existence that had been waiting in the Holy Grail for a full sixty years seemed to be enjoying this moment of freedom and killing, and wiped out all the lives within its reach. 】
[The vortex spun madly, and sins and the evil of the world continued to intertwine and amplify in it, forming countless terrifying whirlpools. 】
[In the black mud, gluttony, lust, greed, depression, anger, laziness, hypocrisy, arrogance, jealousy… these negative emotions and crimes kept spinning like demons, invading, occupying, and blaspheming each other. 】
[“Kill-kill-kill-” 】
[In the black mud, only this single thought remained. 】
[In this denial that destroyed everything, a voice suddenly sounded. 】
[“How boring, only this one thought, it’s really boring.”]
At this moment, as this voice sounded, all the audience was stunned.
The barrage also boiled.
[**Barrage**]
[Dr. Roman: How could there be the voice of the King of Heroes in the black mud that can erase everything and kill everything and is polluted by all the evils of this world? 】
[Merlin: When he was decomposed, he should have been completely killed, but he didn’t seem to survive in this black mud that can destroy everything? ! He is worthy of being the King of Heroes, it’s really interesting! 】
[Aozaki Aoko: My intuition was right! It’s incredible that he can survive in this black mud and maintain his consciousness. 】
[Fujimaru Ritsuka: But, he has been decomposed at this moment, right? Became part of the black mud? And the Holy Grail War is about to end, so he should dissipate, right? 】
[Goetia: No, that’s not right, I think I saw something interesting happening! 】
And in the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War:
When Shirou Emiya saw the black mud again, he already understood the origin of the disaster ten years ago.
At this moment, he was completely in chaos.
His adoptive father was the origin of all this.The instigator, such a truth, he couldn’t accept it at all.
Altria, who was beside Shirou Emiya, was also lost in thought at this moment.
She had a little understanding of the reason why Kiritsugu Emiya ordered him to split the Holy Grail with the Command Seal.
But she still couldn’t accept it.
“If the Holy Grail is this kind of thing, then it must be destroyed.”
“But, the fourth and fifth Holy Grail Wars, we worked hard to win, what is the effort during that period?”
“What is the hatred for Kiritsugu Emiya for such a long time?”
At this moment, Altria was also in confusion like Shirou Emiya.
At this moment, in the light curtain.
[“How is this possible? How can there be positive affirmation in this vortex full of resentment and curses?”]
[“This vortex hates everything in the world and regards the world as evil and ugly. It should not tolerate any existence that contradicts it.”]
[The curse sound in the black mud made an unbelievable sound, which was completely contrary to common sense.]
[However, the affirmative voice belonging to Jin Shanshan still stood proudly. 】
[He said: “This world is originally like this. Faced with these normalities, why should we lament? Why should we be surprised?”]
[The voice of the curse could not help but ask: “Why do you think it is so? Who agrees? Who allows? Who can shoulder the sins of this world?”]
[Faced with this inquiry full of darkness and despair, Jin Shanshan’s clear laughter sounded: “This is a foolish question, not worth mentioning. The king agrees, the king allows, and the king can also shoulder this world.”]
[The black mud asked again: “The king? Who is he?”]
[Just as he asked this question, the black mud suddenly realized the contradiction. 】
[In this place where “individuals” are absolutely not allowed to exist, it actually agrees that there is another in itself, and some impossible aliens are actually bred in itself. 】
[This alien is the supreme king, the original, the only existence in heaven and earth-the hero king Gilgamesh. 】
【“Who else but me, the king?” Gilgamesh declared proudly. 】
【The black mud finally could not bear the existence of this foreign object, and it broke apart, scattering black droplets. 】
【Even if it used up all its resentment and strength, it could not completely digest this foreign object. 】
【In the end, it could only helplessly vomit out this absolute self. 】
【In the blazing red ruins, the hero king Gilgamesh stood firm again, and his figure was particularly eye-catching between heaven and earth. 】
【The body that showed golden proportions and flawless was no longer the illusory spirit of the Servant, but a real entity made of flesh and blood in the present world. 】
【The black mud, which denied the existence of all life, after crystallizing and discarding the impure matter mixed in itself, unexpectedly gave it to the heroic spirit.With the flesh, it returns to the real world. 】
At the same time, the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War:
King of Conquerors Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh, who had gained a flesh body in the light curtain, and was shocked.
“The hero king of Babylon just fulfilled my wish in this Holy Grail War?!”
After the shock slowly dissipated, he chuckled, his tone full of admiration.
“Only he could get a flesh body in this way.”
“Even if it was me, I was not sure that I could maintain my self in the black mud, and convince the black mud to make it doubt itself.”
“Hahahaha, you are worthy of being the hero king, really admirable!”
Also in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh looked at his gains in this Holy Grail War, and finally showed an interested expression on his face.
“Oh, the king has obtained a body?”
“Then this farce-like war is not completely useless.”
And in the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War:
“So this is the reason why that Gilgamesh appeared in this Holy Grail War? He was not summoned by anyone, but has survived until now!?”
“Damn Gin Pika!”
[**Bullet screen**]
[Weber: I didn’t expect that the hero king would get a body in the end! ]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka: What a bizarre resurrection method. The subsequent mysterious red Archer and the elbow king Gilgamesh can also be carried out reasonably and smoothly. ]
[Enkidu: I didn’t expect that Jill had experienced such a thing. As expected of Jill, he was resurrected again through such a method after thousands of years of death. ]
[Tousaka Tokiomi: Why did the Holy Grail become such a filthy and evil thing? If this is the so-called Holy Grail, then what is the goal of the Tohsaka family? 】
[Tohsaka Nagato: Tokiomi, calm down. This is indeed the Holy Grail, but it is not the original appearance of the Holy Grail. I don’t know what happened, but the Holy Grail has indeed been contaminated by the “all evils of this world”…】
Under the shocked gaze of all the audience, at this moment, in the light curtain.
[In this sea of fire as hot as hell, the majesty of King Gilgamesh can still dispel the surrounding flames. 】
[He stood proudly, his naked body like a perfect statue, and snorted impatiently. 】 (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
[“It is ridiculous that you guys fight over something like that as a wish-granting machine. This farce is confusing until the end.”]
[However, this sudden change is not entirely unfortunate—the Hero King looks at his unexpectedly acquired new body and is quite satisfied with its touch.]
[“Is God’s will that I come to this era again and rule this world… Humph, you are testing me with this boring trial. That’s all, although it is very annoyingI am not happy, but I will accept it for now. ”]
[Although I am annoyed, since it is a test from the gods, I cannot escape it.]
[Gilgamesh’s face showed a bitter smile, that was his destiny as the King of Heroes.][]
[And in this deep darkness, Kotomine Kirei’s consciousness slowly awakened.]
[The first thing he felt was a burning breath and the pungent smell of burnt human fat. He opened his hazy eyes and was surrounded by blazing flames that shot straight into the sky.]
[“Where is this…?”]
[Kirei once wondered if he had been captured by the black mud again and was pulled into the mental world inside the Holy Grail.]
[However, when he found a naked man beside him staring at him, this conjecture was instantly denied.]
[“Gilgamesh…what exactly…had happened? ”】
[“You are such a trouble. It is not an easy task to dig you out from under the rubble.”]
[Kirei tried to gather his chaotic thoughts and tried to sort out the whole story. The last thing he remembered was that he was kneeling in the large prop warehouse of the Civic Hall and was shot in the back – logically, he should have been killed on the spot.]
At this moment, the barrage was also full of doubts.
[**Barrage**]
[Emiya Kiritsugu: The resurrection of the Hero King is fine, but why can this man Kotomine Kirei also be resurrected? Why? Does he have the will to rival the Hero King?]
[Aozaki Touko: It shouldn’t be like this. Resurrecting a Hero King is already a miracle. It is based on the will of the Hero King, based on the Hero King’s responsibility for the world. How did Kotomine Kirei come back to life? 】
[Tohsaka Rin: Could it be that anyone who died in this black mud can be resurrected? ]
[Arquette: Impossible, that black mud is a naked killing machine! ]
All the audience looked puzzled. At this moment, in the light curtain.
[Kotomine Kirei ripped open the chest of his monk’s robe and checked the part that should have been shot through by the bullet. For a moment, he seemed to see the phantom of the black mud. ]
[Is it an illusion? There was not a single scratch on his chest. He pressed his palm to the position of his heart. ]
[The heart did not beat. ]
[“…Did you cast a spell on me, Gilgamesh?” ]
[“Well, I don’t know much about this. It seems that you are dead, but there is a contract between you and me. When I gained a body from the mud, I may have put you into an abnormal state. ”】
[The black mud that failed to completely corrode Gilgamesh flowed back into Kotomine Kirei’s body through the magic supply channel between him as an Archer Servant and the Master.]
[It replaced his heart and became the source of his vitality, healing his injuries and resurrecting him.]
[Now, Kirei’s life actually depends on”All the evil in this world” provided by magic. 】
[“All the Servants have been destroyed, and only this king is left. Do you understand what this means, Kirei?”]
[Kirei’s thoughts are not yet completely clear, and he looks back at Gilgamesh’s red eyes.]
[“We won the Holy Grail. Take a good look at this ending. If the Holy Grail can really sense the wishes of the victor, then Kotomine Kirei – this is what you desire.”]
[This is a sea of fire hell, and the shrill wails drifted in the wind. Kirei stared at the dancing wall of flames.]
[“This… is my… wish?”]
[Yes. If he can call the emptiness that is gradually filling his heart at this moment “satisfaction”…]
[“You mean, this destruction, this sorrow… is my pleasure? ”】
[That’s right. If he could call the excitement and exhilaration in his heart at this moment “joy”… Kotomine Kirei finally saw through the true face of his soul.]
[Destroyed things are so beautiful. People groaning in pain are so pitiful. The screams heard by the ears are so pleasant; the charred and twisted corpses are so funny.]
[His emotions surged like boiling water, despair and laughter intertwined and released wantonly.]
[What kind of evil and cruelty is this!]
[The evil path that deviates from God’s love actually contains such a living joy.]
[“What is this? Hahaha, what the hell am I! ? ”]
[Even the despair that was piercing his bones now made him feel extremely sweet. He laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, unable to restrain himself. From the ends of his limbs to the top of his head, he clearly felt his own existence.]
[Ah, I am indeed alive now——]
[It is a life that truly exists in this world——]
[For the first time, he realized that it was the first time he truly felt his connection with this world.]
[“Such a twisted and filthy thing actually came from the blood of Kotomine Risei? Hahahaha, impossible! How is this possible? What is going on! ? Did my father raise me with a beast! ? ”]
[The truth he found was completely different from the belief he pursued all his life. This irony made him feel extremely happy.]
[“——Are you satisfied? Kirei. ”】
【Gilgamesh asked quietly. Even though he was panting with laughter, the priest still couldn’t stop laughing.】
【”No, not yet. Just this is not enough.”】
【Kirei wiped away the tears that overflowed due to his excitement and shook his head to answer.】
【”I did find the answer in this life of only knowing how to explore, which is a huge progress. However, this did not really solve the problem. The answer just suddenly appeared in front of me, and the process and path of the solution were omitted. How can I accept this?”】
【If God is the source of all things,Creator, then for all souls, “joy” should be the truth. And the so-called morality should be the wisdom of pursuing joy. 】
【However, there is a soul here that has gained joy outside of moral norms. Kirei is now convinced that that soul is himself. 】
【This contradiction subverts the definition of good and evil and the meaning of truth. He must explore it in depth. 】
【”You are really a guy who makes people never get tired of watching… This is right. This King Gilgamesh will wait and see how your path to seeking the truth refutes God.”】.
