Chapter 637

~8 min read 1,544 words

Just like when he killed his father with his own hands back then.

And now, he will implement his consistent philosophy for the last time—sacrifice a small number of people to save the majority.

Compared to 6 billion lives, 2 family members.

Are too insignificant.

At the very end, Kiritsugu Emiya woke up from the dream created by the Holy Grail.

The last two Heroic Spirits, the Knight King Artoria and the Hero King Gilgamesh, were still fighting. "By the name of the Command Spell, Saber, immediately destroy... the Holy Grail."

Once this order was given, Artoria, who didn't know what happened at all and only wanted to use the power of the Holy Grail to save ancient Britain, widened her eyes in astonishment.

But at this moment, she, who was already seriously injured, could not resist the restraint of the Command Spell at all.

The Excalibur in her hand erupted with brilliant golden light, and Artoria's own hands were also uncontrollably raised, pointing at the Holy Grail in the distance. "W-why? Kiritsugu!?"

Facing the servant's questioning, Kiritsugu Emiya remained unmoved and said indifferently: "By the third Command Spell, I order you again, Saber, immediately destroy the Holy Grail!"

The second fully liberated Excalibur completely destroyed the Holy Grail.

And the Holy Grail, which had already absorbed the power of five Heroic Spirits and accumulated huge energy, was destroyed, and the accumulated power erupted all at once.

For this kind of city, it is undoubtedly a devastating blow.

Because *Fate/Zero* in the past life was a work after *Fate/stay night*.

Therefore, it also received many restrictions in terms of settings.

And in this life, Xu Feng used *Fate/Zero* as the opening work of the series.

He didn't make the settings too complicated.

At the very end, this battle of gathered heroes and competing heroes.

Finally ended with a finale without a winner.

The entire Fuyuki City was destroyed by fire.

Kiritsugu Emiya, who lost everything, dug desperately in the ruins with dull eyes.

There is no longer the idea of sacrificing a small number of people to save the majority.

At this moment, all he thought about was saving one more person.

And when he dug out a child of similar age to Rin Tohsaka, played by Wang Shengdi, from the ruins.

He held the other party's hand to his cheek, tears streaming down his face, constantly saying the word "thank you."

As if the one being saved was himself.

And at the end of the screen.

Since the Holy Grail had been destroyed, the Knight King, as a Heroic Spirit, naturally could not remain in the world.

She returned to the Throne of Heroes, returned to the destroyed hometown.

Facing the destroyed country and the corpses piled up like mountains, she knelt on the ground powerlessly like an ordinary little girl.

Accompanied by the sorrowful soundtrack and Lancelot's narration.

"You are the greatest King; everyone under your command believed so."

However, the Knight King at this moment was heartbroken, crying and vowing that she must win the Holy Grail and stop all this!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Then, the screen suddenly went black, and the movie ended.

The entire cinema was silent, and the expressions of the audience below seemed to be frozen as if pressed by a pause button, until the white letters on the black screen began to scroll: Director: Xu Feng Screenwriter: Xu Feng Production: 2D Film and Television Co., Ltd. Cast: Savannah Brand as Artoria Pendragon, Xu Feng as Gilgamesh, Wang Shengdi as Rin Tohsaka, Yang Enyou as Sakura Matou. At the premiere, the scrolling subtitles completely ended, and the huge cinema hall lit up again after nearly three hours.

The creative team had already taken the stage, and the applause turned from scattered to boiling in five seconds.

The emotions suppressed for nearly three hours erupted completely at this moment.

The starring team on stage, except for Xu Feng, all had excited faces. They all had the same premonition: It's going to be a hit, it's going to be a hit, guys, this movie is going to be a hit!

And off-stage, a group of little girls had red eyes, not knowing which part stimulated them.

After all, there are too many depressing parts in this movie.

And the big men around were even worse.

Whether it was Iskandar's departure or Kiritsugu Emiya's ending, there were too many thought-provoking plots.

And many audience members who had just finished watching the first midnight show worldwide didn't leave after the creative list rolled.

They pondered the questions raised in this movie one after another.

For example, which of the King's Way of the Knight King and the Conqueror King is correct.

Is it advisable for Kiritsugu Emiya to sacrifice a small number of people for the majority? If the world really continued according to his will, would it really become like that in the end, with only their family of three left in the world?

At this time, the cleaning lady came to chase people away.

No way, go online to discuss with people, or square up.

Because in this movie, there are too many controversial points thrown out by Xu Feng.

Just like the previous Naruto side-story, the topic of whether White Fang should save his companions.

To see if a movie is a hit, the degree of discussion has always been a very reference-worthy point.

Whether it is positive or negative.

Some weird bad movies have high discussion, but the points the audience discusses are not the plot or the actors.

But how bad the movie is, for example, that *Switch* movie by Andy Lau.

It was so bad that Andy Lau paid out of his own pocket, only begging the producers not to release this thing.

As a result, it actually got a box office of more than 300 million.

Holy crap, you know Lu Han's *Shanghai Fortress* only got a little over 100 million.

And that was in an era when the domestic film market was not perfect.

If it were today, it would probably be more than 500 million.

And the audience was willing to pay even knowing that the movie was bad.

It was just to see with their own eyes how bad the movie was.

It's too damn magical.

But fortunately, the netizens' discussion about Xu Feng's movie is positive.

However, during the interview session after the premiere, Xu Feng suspected that he had arrived at some academic research institute.

One university student after another asked Xu Feng excitedly: "Director Xu, which of the means of pursuing justice for so many characters in the movie do you think is correct?"

"Are you using Kiritsugu Emiya's perspective to express that the method of 'sacrificing a few to save the majority' is not advisable?"

"Kiritsugu Emiya's pursuit of justice is the result, Saber is the process, can we understand it this way?"

Holy crap, why are you all asking such serious questions?

I am just a hedonist...

But to be honest, works that explore philosophical topics like sacrificing the minority for the majority have always been controversial.

For example, Shinkai Makoto's *Weathering with You*.

Letting the whole city sink into the ocean for the sake of the girl he loves.

This topic also sparked huge controversy in the past life, causing this movie to become almost the lowest-rated movie of Shinkai Makoto.

Anyway, Xu Feng himself didn't want to discuss this topic; he only hoped that life is short, so enjoy it while you can.

Xu Feng thought for a while and gave a compromise statement.

"You can sacrifice yourself for justice, but don't sacrifice others."

【I finally understand why Xu Feng doesn't release movies during the New Year and Spring Festival slots; if I watch this, can I still have a good New Year?】

【The Great Emperor and the Princess are basically the only combination in the whole show that can make me smile; what kind of monsters and demons are the other Heroic Spirits and Masters? One is more of a traitor than the other.】

【Xu Feng's movie is simply an epitaph for idealists, but it also tells us: don't damn entrust world peace to such trashy things as wish-granting machines.】

【Although there are many people blacking Kiritsugu around me, I want to say that what he did is the same as Li Yunlong who attacked Ping'an County back then.】

【Spoiler warning: No one has a good ending; the whole show is full of the malice of this guy Xu Feng.】

Originally, many audience members came for the faces of Savannah and Xu Feng on the promotional poster.

And this feast for the eyes presented by Xu Feng did not live up to their expectations.

The beautiful are beautiful, the handsome are handsome.

Just the faces of these people are worth the ticket price.

Especially that sword that eliminated Caster, which brought the charm of King Arthur to the extreme.

Unsurprisingly, for the next few months, the Ahoge King will become the new wife of these fat shut-ins.

By the way, Xu Feng has filmed so many shows, how many wives have these weirdos changed?

Rukia, Orihime Inoue, Tier Harribel, Platelet... and now Kikyo, Hinata, Ahoge King. ===== CHAPTER 639 =====
