Chapter 456: Being a Referee is So Easy

"Karna, has he also been defeated?"

Amakusa Shirou looked at Lin Ye walking toward him step by step.

He already understood that he no longer had the strength to resist.

"Saving the world is not such an easy thing after all."

Amakusa Shirou turned his head to look at this world that had just been destroyed and rebuilt. Having experienced the end of the world once, Amakusa Shirou suddenly saw things much more clearly.

"Perhaps, for humans, being able to live and enjoy every day is a kind of happiness."

And just as Amakusa was muttering, Lin Ye had already arrived in front of him. Looking at Amakusa Shirou, Lin Ye also asked with a smile,

"Do you still want to save the world?"

Amakusa Shirou's heart was still good, and he was worthy of the name of a saint, but Lin Ye did not agree with his methods.

Is it good or bad for people to become without desires? Several Lostbelts have already proven its error.

Without desire, there is no change, and a stagnant world without change only has the outcome of being pruned.

Hearing Lin Ye's question, Amakusa Shirou smiled helplessly. "Lin Ye, can I ask you one more question?"

Lin Ye nodded. "You can."

"Was I really wrong?"

"Wrong? Not necessarily. If your methods were a bit gentler, perhaps it couldn't be considered wrong."

Lin Ye thought for a moment. If Amakusa Shirou's method was to create a world and let those who voluntarily materialized their souls enter it to live, then Lin Ye would have no objection.

After all, there are indeed many people in this world who are willing to become materialized souls and live without thinking about anything from then on.

Hearing Lin Ye say this, Amakusa Shirou smiled. He could indeed pick up his weapon and rush over like the other Servants, but there was no need. Even the powerful Karna had been defeated; why would he rush over to humiliate himself?

It was better to die calmly; he could at least save some face.

He extended his right hand, where his Command Spells were. Lin Ye took out the Rule Breaker, slashed across the back of his hand, and then turned to leave.

"Wait... wait!" Amakusa Shirou looked at Lin Ye's back, confused. "You... aren't you going to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Lin Ye turned his head to look at the bewildered Amakusa Shirou and said faintly, "Why would I kill you? If you want to return to the Throne of Heroes, you can just commit suicide. However, if you don't want to go back, just keep this body and do something meaningful."

"Something meaningful?" Amakusa Shirou didn't understand what Lin Ye was referring to.

"For example, helping old ladies cross the street, helping old men cross the street, or helping children cross the street."

Amakusa Shirou...

So, you can't think of any other good deeds besides crossing the street?

Seeing Amakusa Shirou's expression, Lin Ye also felt it was quite interesting. "What, do you look down on helping old ladies cross the street? Don't underestimate these small things. I know someone who is very similar to you. He always wants to be an ally of justice, so he often cannot refuse others' requests for help. He helps people clean, helps people repair appliances; although they are all small things, he never tires of them. Tell me, does he count as an ally of justice?"

"He is a good person."

"Is a good person necessarily inferior to a saint?" Lin Ye finished speaking and ignored Amakusa Shirou.

Amakusa Shirou looked at Lin Ye's back; he was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and then revealed a smile.

"A good person... is also not bad."

And looking at the returning Lin Ye, at this moment, all the Servants present, whether Red or Black, had smiles on their faces.

"Lin Ye! You're amazing!"

On the side, an excited Astolfo wanted to run over and give Lin Ye a hug.

However, he was directly dodged by Lin Ye. "Astolfo, how many times have I told you, I have no interest in men's hugs, and traps are the same."

"Ah~" Astolfo looked at Lin Ye unhappily. This guy, still so sharp-tongued.

"Declaration—"

Suddenly, a beautiful voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Under a battle flag of irises fluttering in the wind, the Ruler of this Holy Grail War was looking at Lin Ye with a smile.

"In the name of the Ruler, Jeanne d'Arc, I announce that the winner of this Holy Grail War is: Lin Ye!"

Hum!

Green light flickered continuously. Behind Jeanne, the Greater Grail, like a huge sphere, also descended from the sky.

This was the Greater Grail of the Fate/Apocrypha world, the unpolluted Greater Grail that could grant wishes.

Watching the Greater Grail descend, a smile also appeared on Jeanne's face. She extended three fingers toward Lin Ye and said,

"First, never act on impulse;

Second, never miss judging any evil deed;

Third, judge fairly and beautifully.

Lin Ye, I have done everything in the referee code you told me. How about it, do I count as a qualified referee?"

Looking at Jeanne, who looked like she wanted praise, Lin Ye also smiled and gave Jeanne a thumbs up.

"Of course, you are a perfect referee."

A Jeanne who doesn't blow biased whistles is still quite perfect.

Hearing Lin Ye's praise, Jeanne was also very happy.

"Being a referee is really too easy."

Easy? Jeanne didn't know how much she was scolded back then because of her biased refereeing.

But it didn't matter. Now everyone, whether Servant or Caster, whether Red or Black, had gathered around Lin Ye.

Looking at the Greater Grail in front of them, everyone revealed envious gazes. But everyone was a Heroic Spirit and had their pride, so no one caused trouble.

Astolfo ran over and poked the Greater Grail in front of him. Looking at the dim light of the Greater Grail, he turned his head and looked helplessly at Lin Ye, asking,

"Lin Ye, this Greater Grail doesn't have enough mana."

Under normal circumstances, the Greater Grail needs the mana of at least six Servants to grant a wish, however...

Everyone looked around. Good grief, fourteen... no, plus Jeanne and Amakusa, sixteen Servants, and not a single one had died.

"Everyone move aside, I'll die first." Mo-chan pushed Astolfo aside, came to the Greater Grail, took out the Brilliant Royal Sword, and committed suicide by slitting her throat.

"Wait..."

Pfft!!

Watching Mordred, who had directly broken her contract with Shishigou Kairi and disappeared into light particles, Lin Ye was dumbfounded.

"No! Why are you in such a hurry!"

Lin Ye looked at the place where Mordred had disappeared. What's wrong with Mo-chan? Are you rushing to another gig? Why did you commit suicide so quickly!!!
