Magician in Type-Moon

"Okay, goodbye then, bye-bye!"

"Fufu!"

"Bye-Bye!"

With the closure of the Spirit Gate, Chaldea's journey in this singularity comes to an end...

......

El-Melloi II's claim that he wanted to visit Fuyuki again was a complete lie. How could a man like him, who would rather sleep all day than return to a familiar place, possibly have the leisure to revisit it?

He simply wanted to know the truth about this Holy Grail War...

Everything seemed too reasonable and too smooth.

Although everyone had given their all to win, but...

The key left by Gilgamesh is Lancer, capable of turning "doubt" into "certainty".

And Artoria, who perished together with the final "Black Cup".

It's as if every step has been planned out.

Everything was just right, it's still the same GAME theory.

When designing challenging levels, level designers usually leave items at certain locations that allow players to complete the level.

If we were to compare the Heroic Spirits who appeared in this battle to items, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to players, and the Holy Grail to the reward for clearing the stage...

Looking at it this way...

Even the battle against Gilgamesh was the one that brought together the remaining Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War.

Gilgamesh, the boss of that battle, also left behind crucial items, each one indispensable...

Players are there, items to complete the game are there, bosses are there, rewards are there—what else could this be but a game?

Since this Holy Grail War has been likened to a game, then where is the game's creator?

That was his purpose in staying.

As for why we didn't tell Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others about this.

Naturally, it's because their current combat power is severely insufficient, and the magic power within their bodies has reached the point of overdrawing their lives.

To challenge a battle that is destined to be lost with such an attitude is simply...

Perhaps even this detail has been calculated...

With this thought in mind, he slowly walked to the place where the Greater Grail was kept.

A dark figure stopped him; it was Angra Mainyu.

"Why not go back with the Chaldea people, strategist?"

“Naturally, I want to see who is behind this Holy Grail War…” El-Melloi II said calmly.

“You’ve seen it now, haven’t you?” Angra Mainyu said with a grin.

"You may not know this, but I have dealt with you before, and I am absolutely certain that you do not have that ability."

"How dare the dignified monarch of the Clock Tower swear?"

"I just want to see one..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of nightmare energy swept over.

When El-Melloi II saw the figure, his cigar slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground; he was too shocked to speak.

"Now that we've seen you, let's go..."

A cloud of nightmare energy enveloped him directly.

"Wait a minute, what exactly is your purpose?" El-Melloi II asked, struggling to speak.

"Of course it's to save the world, what else could it be?"

"Could it be that you—" Before he could finish speaking, El-Melloi II's spirit origin had been completely pulverized and sent into the void.

After doing all this, the person enveloped in nightmare energy turned around and instantly returned to the Great Grail.

......

"here it is..."

Matouike felt as if her body was swimming in a breathable ocean.

Not far away, something radiating a warm light illuminated the dark seabed.

"That's... the Holy Grail?"

“Yes, that is the Holy Grail…” a voice rang out from behind Matou Ike.

Matou Ike suddenly turned around and saw a familiar person... 'comrade'.

"So it really is you? Who are you? What is your purpose?" Matou Ike asked directly.

"You're the second person to ask me this question today... As for who I am, I can't say right now. As for my purpose, well, it's to save the world..."

"Companion," he said with a faint smile, showing exceptional gentleness towards Matou Ike.

"Save the world? Save the world with this Holy Grail?"

"Of course not. The Holy Grail is only the first step in saving the world. I can only complete this first step. The rest will depend on you."

The 'companion' actually walked through this ocean of magic.

"Why me? Do you think I'll accept your arrangements?" Matou Ike asked, somewhat displeased.

"Naturally, it's because you're special. As for the arrangements, I'm sorry, it's something I had to do."

The 'comrade's' words were sincere and earnest, but it was precisely this sincerity that caused Matouchi's unhappiness to continue to grow.

He'd rather the person was lying...

"By the way, your girlfriend has already warned me, and I'm very scared, so this kind of 'arrangement' will never happen again."

This is a lie, but only the part about "I'm very scared" is a lie; the rest is true...

"Medea? What happened to her?"

“She almost destroyed this singularity…” the 'comrade' said with some helplessness.

"Is this world really a singularity?" Matou Ike continued to ask.

"Of course, but that won't be the case for long..."

Matou Ike asked with a puzzled "Hmm?"

"You're asking too many questions. Go choose a body first. Even for a spirit, prolonged immersion in this ocean will cause irreversible damage. Besides, it seems we have more guests; I need to go greet them. Everything is there; choose for yourself..."

After saying that, the 'comrade' pointed to the phantoms next to the Holy Grail and then disappeared from this world.

......

"You came?"

"I'm here."

"Having already abdicated the throne, how dare you defy the world and still call yourself '朕' (the imperial "I")?"

"You've gone too far this time! That child almost died." The person who came was none other than Somasa after the destruction of the Third Lostbelt.

"Everything was within my plan, so that kind of thing naturally wouldn't happen. But you, you interfered with my arrangements without permission. Why did you let that scene be shown to the person you chose?"

The nightmare energy stirred slightly, as if expressing dissatisfaction.

“It wasn’t me who did it. I only came to your territory because I sensed someone impersonating me,” Zuzheng replied.

"Isn't it you? I understand... Now that you've finished talking, you should leave. Don't get in my way."

"What, are you going to ascend the throne again?" Zu Zheng asked.

"...No, I...my Great Qin has already fallen, that is the past...now I only need to briefly revive the glory of Great Qin!"

Before the words were finished, the copper coin that Matou Zouken had found, dating back two thousand years, appeared in front of the two of them.

"Do copper coins of this quality still exist at this point in time? Are you going to use them to issue an imperial edict?" Zu Zhen exclaimed in amazement, looking at the object before him.

"certainly..."

Since Fujimaru Ritsuka took the Holy Grail and left this singularity, the destruction of this singularity has become the anchor point for convergence.

The corrective force at this moment is both the strongest and the weakest.

Its strength lies in the fact that the end of the singularity is irreversible, while its weakness lies in the fact that once the singularity is anchored, nothing external can interfere with its actions.

Even the inhibitory force won't work!

"Judgment! I am the First Emperor!"

"He is the most precious person in the world!"

"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all land belongs to the king!"

"The treatment of officials is unfair; I will appoint only the virtuous!"

As the words were slowly engraved on the copper plate, an inexplicable force tried to forcibly erase the record.

However, they were blocked from entering the copper coin by the nightmare energy.

"This world has collapsed! We are now like rootless duckweed!"

"I am the one who decides everything under heaven! I shall lead the world to restore order!"

"The politics of the past two thousand years are the same as those of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Surpassing the Three Sovereigns and surpassing the Five Emperors, this is the First Emperor, I am the Emperor!"

"It is hereby decreed! This world shall be called Great Qin!"

At this moment, a large jade seal appeared above the copper plate, ready to be pressed down.

At this moment, the mysterious power finally broke through the seal of the nightmare energy, and it tried its best to stop the seal from falling.

But the two characters on the seal, “By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous,” shone brightly, completely extinguishing the force of resistance.

The imperial edict has now been issued!
