Chapter 595

BOOM!!!

The next second, a powerful force erupted from within Emiya Shirou's body. Under this force, the sea of flames before him suddenly began to spread to both sides, and a path of miracles appeared.】

Everyone ran outside frantically. They reached the outside and embraced their families and friends who had rushed over.】

And they did not notice that in the sea of flames, there was still one figure smiling at them.】

The next day, the news reported this power station explosion incident, and what shocked everyone was:】

The casualty count for this sudden fire was actually 0!】

Everyone was marveling at the arrival of a miracle, and no one knew how much that man had paid for this miracle.】

"So, is this the reason why Archer became a Heroic Spirit?" Tohsaka Rin looked at Lin Ye beside her, her large eyes filled with confusion. "That light cluster couldn't be..."

"The unified consciousness possessed by all primate groups, with the goal of ensuring the survival of the primate world. Its name is Alaya."

"As I thought." Tohsaka Rin had already guessed it. So, this was the reason why Emiya Shirou could become a Heroic Spirit? "But isn't this a good thing? Becoming an agent of Alaya allows for better protection of humanity's survival; doesn't that perfectly align with Emiya Shirou's ideal of being an ally of justice?"

"But justice has a price."

Lin Ye signaled for Tohsaka Rin to keep watching.

【Assassination, ambush, sniping.】

The man named Emiya Shirou ultimately walked down this path. Wanting to save the world, he became a "slaughtering butcher."】

He killed cruel and heartless tyrants, and he also killed revolutionary armies that launched coups;】

He killed butchers stained with blood, and he also killed boy scouts who yearned for freedom.】

Alaya's goal is the survival of human order, but she only cares about the survival of human order. This goal does not distinguish between good and evil, only between right and wrong!】

Killing one person to save a hundred—in Alaya's view, this "business" is very worthwhile. But she will not care if the person who died truly deserved it.】

And as an agent, Emiya Shirou had no choice. He could only pick up the butcher's knife again and again, plundering one fresh life after another.】

There is a difference between Heroic Spirits and Counter Guardians. Although both are souls located on the Throne of Heroes, the summoning of Heroic Spirits comes from people's hope, while the summoning of Counter Guardians comes from people's despair.】

For existences who become Heroic Spirits due to their own merits or even their own sins, the Counter Force cannot bind them.】

But those who lament their own powerlessness and seek miracles become Alaya's "claws and teeth."】

"Think about it, our King was almost tricked back then too."

Lin Ye recalled the situation of the King in the original timeline. According to the description in "Garden of Avalon," under normal circumstances, after the King died in battle, she would have become a Heroic Spirit due to her own legend.】

But here, Alaya played a little trick. She found the King in the second before she died and signed a Holy Grail War contract with her, wanting to subdue the King.】

Fortunately, no matter which route the FSN King experienced, she eventually gave up the Holy Grail and died generously, turning into a true Heroic Spirit.】

At that time, Merlin, who was "binge-watching" in Avalon using Clairvoyance, immediately jumped up with joy, threw Fou off Avalon on the spot, and told him to go find true beauty.】

While Lin Ye was lamenting, Tohsaka Rin on the other side also understood the cause and effect of everything.】

"No wonder Archer wanted to kill his past self. But the problem is... if you want to change history, you could just tell Emiya Shirou about this! Why did you have to kill your past self?"

"Perhaps... he also wanted to free himself. But unfortunately, even if he killed his past self, the established fact cannot be changed."

This is also the truth. In any of the three FSN routes, Emiya Shirou will not become Archer in the future, but look at Archer in FGO—doesn't he still clock in for work?】

At this time, Emiya Shirou also woke up. He had already experienced Archer's entire life and understood why Archer wanted to kill him.】

He looked at his own hands, clean and white. But thinking that one day he would be stained with blood, he felt a chill down his back.】

"So... this is the root of everything?"】

Never mind Archer; if it were him, he would probably also hate himself and want to kill his past self.】

Sensing Emiya Shirou's emotions, Senji Muramasa inside his body also said gently,】

"Alright, Emiya kid, don't think about it."】

"But Grandpa Senji... I..."】

"That's not you. You cannot punish yourself for someone else's mistakes, even if that person is your future self. Furthermore, Emiya kid, you stepped onto this path to save people. No matter what, one cannot blame oneself for one's own kindness. Kindness is not a mistake."】

"Kindness... is not a mistake?"】

"Of course kindness is not a mistake! The mistake lies with that Alaya who used you!" Senji Muramasa immediately threw the blame onto Alaya without hesitation.】

"Remember, Emiya kid, your talent is very strong! What you need to do is work hard to develop your talent and strive to become a true powerhouse! If you master magecraft like a Reality Marble, then when you truly face such a situation, you can solve it yourself, can't you? How would you become Alaya's agent? Your only mistake! Is that you aren't strong enough yet!"】

Senji Muramasa's words were actually biased, but to the currently confused Emiya Shirou, they were like supreme truth!】

That's right! All mistakes stem from insufficient strength!】

I must become stronger! Only by becoming stronger can I become a true ally of justice!】

"Alaya! This time! I will absolutely not give you this chance!"】 ===== CHAPTER 597 =====
