Chapter 1140

【Primordial Lu En activated.】

【"Venus, Great Mother Goddess! Please grant power to this daughter of the father! By that thin, tiny fragment, cast a crushing blessing upon my beloved!"】

【Even if I cannot save this world personally, even if I want to protect the land where the people you saved, Sigurd, live...】

【I cannot do it!】

【I have already gone insane; there is no other way but to follow the world's guidance and kill Saber.】

【I have already been implanted with a circuit of madness.】

【That girl, I cannot oppose her.】

【Or perhaps, the medicine Nigel circulated in my body has been altered by her hand.】

【I cannot defy the fate that has been reset.】

【If I were to exercise the Runes to the end—everything in Tokyo would cease to exist.】

【Tonight, how many tens of thousands of people will lose their lives because of this fierce battle?】

【"Come, Sigurd!"】

Rin Tohsaka: "!!!"

Rin Tohsaka: "What the hell! Is this going to blow up Tokyo again!"

Little Director: "Yo, you're joking, how could that be possible..."

Aozaki Touko: "No, if it's the Primordial Lu En, it is indeed possible."

Little Director: "..."

Caules: "This is the Holy Grail War with the biggest commotion I have ever seen."

Feng Xi: "(What is this? You haven't seen a real Holy Grail War where gods fight yet.)"

【"Kill. Kill. Everyone, kill everyone—"】

【Brynhildr's tone suddenly changed, and she said strangely: "You know what to do, Saber!"】

【"..."】

【The next moment, the other party answered with action.】

【A silent thrust pierced Brynhildr's spirit core, and the stones of ten thousand deaths formed under the moon also turned into particles of mana and disappeared without a trace.】

【The tens of thousands of lives resting in the Tokyo night were thus spared.】

Everyone: "???"

Rin Tohsaka: "It just... ended like this?"

Jinako: "This is match-fixing!"

Brynhildr: "Unfortunately, it is not."

Brynhildr: "Have you not seen the potential of this man yet?"

【"... Good..."】

【This was by no means holding back, nor was it intentionally seeking death. Brynhildr declared war as a fallen god and then was defeated.】

【No matter what that omnipotent girl says, it is impossible to stop my combat functions that are operating automatically.】

【I was merely allowing you to exert your full strength.】

【The strongest holy sword wielder!】

Zabiko: "Exert full strength? Could it be that King Arthur hasn't used his full strength yet?"

Waver: "... No, it should be a restriction."

Waver: "Just like Brynhildr, the strength of this male King Arthur will also surge under certain specific circumstances, and that was just the case."

Waver: "Am I right, Brynhildr?"

Brynhildr: "Hehe, you are indeed very smart."

Caules: "The situation just now... could it be, protection?"

Waver: "Hmm, there aren't many clues, so we can only guess like this for now, but the probability is very high."

Waver: "When King Arthur is determined to protect, he can unleash huge potential."

Flower Mage: "Oh my, Artoria, you've been outdone. This male version of you seems to be much stronger than you."

Artoria: "..."

Kay: "Shut up, you weird cat spirit, will you die if you say less? If you can't keep that mouth shut, I can pull your tongue out for you."

Flower Mage: "Kay-chan, you are too extreme!"

【"The thing... hidden... in the Great Holy Grail... cannot... be allowed to... be born..."】

【Although her chest was pierced, Brynhildr still had to finish what she had to say.】

【If it were you, you would certainly be willing to kill any kind of evil for the sake of the world, just like the Sigurd I loved.】

【"Don't let... the world..."】

【Don't let the world be destroyed like this, please, you must save it—】

【Illusory yet still noble, hero—】

【Night ends, dawn breaks.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Cannot be released? Is it another problematic Holy Grail!"

Jinako: "I feel like this Holy Grail thing is like a Pandora's box."

Shishigou Kairi: "Hehe, it's not a feeling; the Holy Grail is exactly that kind of thing."

No matter which world, no matter if there is a problem with the Holy Grail itself, humans will fall into blood and fire disputes around it.

【The next day, a cafe by the sea.】

【Sajo Manaka is enjoying a peaceful afternoon tea here, and the person accompanying her opposite is naturally the Old Saber.】

【From the moment Lancer exited last night, the result of this Holy Grail War was already clear.】

【Sajo Manaka won, and she won very easily.】

【Next is the question of how to make a wish to the Holy Grail.】

【"Why the Holy Grail? Bringing miracles, fulfilling wishes. If it's really such a wonderful magic, don't you think the ritual it requires should also be more peaceful?"】

【"..."】

【Sajo Manaka is excitedly pouring her heart out to the Old Saber, but the other party is plunged into endless silence.】

【"Saber?"】

【"... Yes. The Holy Grail shouldn't be used to catch blood."】

【The Old Saber forced himself to cheer up and agreed: "I have heard that the Holy Grail was originally used to accumulate unobservable miracles, to accumulate people's wishes. When the cup is full, the Lord's majesty will also overflow."】

【Sajo Manaka: "Hehe, it's exactly the opposite. If you don't fill it with wishes first, the Holy Grail won't activate... or something like that."】

【Old Saber: "..."】

Blonde Rin: "It seems he has already started to waver."

Waver: "Now that the other Masters have been eliminated, the remaining Servants are all Sajo Manaka's; she is already the winner."

Waver: "Now, the only way to stop her is to rely on King Arthur..."

【The Old Saber's heart is in chaos now; as soon as he closes his eyes, he thinks of those Servants who have already exited.】

【The Berserker who turned into dust in the dazzling radiance.】

【He reminded Saber of memories from past wars. The Questing Beast from British legend.】

【The twisted magical beast in the forest with the head and neck of a snake, the body of a lion, the feet of a deer, roaring out condensed hatred and malice.】

【Its way of existing is somewhat similar to Berserker's.】

【Hatred, jealousy, a malicious anomaly trying to bite through everything that enters its field of vision.】

【The only thing that can be certain is that he became insane by his own will.】

【Was it to win the Holy Grail War? Or to fulfill a wish?】

【In any case, there is a will behind that madness; there is no doubt about that.】

【For the sake of the greater good, willing to be slandered as evil—】

【This silent way of saying so, the gaze containing an iron will. He had seen it before.】

【"Agravain. It is strange to think of you at this time..."】

【Of course, Agravain did not have the appearance of a beast, nor was he a person who loved violence.】

【What is similar is just the way of existing.】

【The light of will hidden deep in the eyes looks somewhat similar—】

Artoria: "Agravain, huh..." ===== CHAPTER 1142 =====
