Chapter 301

"The soul is an eternal and unchanging existence in the world. As long as it is recorded in a dimension different from the material world, called the Astral Plane, the soul will not die. However, living things die equally because the soul cannot act alone in the material world. Whether it is a spiritual body or a physical body, if the soul does not connect with certain existences, it cannot act as a life. Then, the physical body will be destroyed, and even the spiritual body will be destroyed. The result is that the soul will also deteriorate and rot."

"How can there be such a contradiction? The situation of not being able to fit is desperate, and this staggered situation invites death, death invites desire, and desire causes sin to gather and accumulate. It is precisely the Third Magic that can overturn this hopeless contradiction, even making people feel the sadness of inevitability."

"The whole world advocates goodness, an ideal world worth loving. The Greater Grail of Fuyuki is a magical device that exists to realize this magic!"

"However, the Einzberns' pace is too slow; they are not worth assisting at all."

"The miracle is right before our eyes! I want to save everyone, whether good, evil, those to be cherished, or those to be hated, everything."

"Feng Xi, I can see that you are a kind and upright person. I implore you, give the Holy Grail to me; it is of no use at all in your hands."

Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine reached out to Feng Xi very sincerely.

"..."

Because Feng Xi was wearing armor, it was impossible to see his current expression.

"Immortality, the fading of selfish desires—indeed, a perfect peace. But, does such humanity really have a future?"

Hearing this, Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but be stunned.

"For thousands of years, humanity has been constantly struggling with desire, and no matter how many times they have failed, they have not given up. It is because of the sacrifices of countless kind people that we have finally reached today."

"Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine, do you want to abandon everything that has been accumulated until now!"

"Humanity is humanity not because of this skin, but because they have seven emotions and six desires, and their own pursuits and ideals. It is precisely because of this that humanity can constantly progress."

"You turn all of humanity into a fixed mass of data—does such humanity still have a future!"

"..."

Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine was silent for a long time, the gentleness already gone from his face.

"So that's it, is that what you think..."

"What a selfish statement! Because you yourself are unwilling to abandon your passions, you want to deprive all of humanity of the hope for peace!"

Feng Xi: "The truly selfish one is you, Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine! Isn't your wishful thinking an expression of selfishness!"

"Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine, you are not qualified to make decisions for all of humanity!"

"... igh."

Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine sighed and slowly drew the Mikazuki Munechika from his waist, saying: "It seems the peace talks have broken down."

Feng Xi also summoned the Divine Fire Qilin Blade and said: "Your actions didn't look like peace talks from the very beginning."

"Clang!!!"

A flash of cold light—the two blades collided.

Those with different paths cannot plan together; since the negotiations failed, stop playing games and solve it with force.

Seeing this, the Empress joined the battle, waving her hand to summon countless chains that attacked Feng Xi.

Shakespeare also took out a card and said: "Oh my, it seems we have to go to this step."

"To be honest, I really don't want to use this thing. After all, if I fail, I'll probably be hacked to death by the opponent."

"Wind King Barrier!"

A crisp clashing sound rang out. Artoria pushed back Siegfried, who had been entangled with her, and charged toward the palace, but he immediately pursued to block her.

Artoria: "Damn it..."

She knew full well he was just stalling for time, but she simply could not shake him off.

"It really has been a long time since I've seen that pair of swords."

On Finn's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, he looked at Diarmuid, who held a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, and asked curiously: "You should be a Lancer, so why do you still possess Beag-alltach?"

Diarmuid: "My apologies, my former King. We now serve different masters; please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Finn: "Haha, you're still the same as ever."

As he spoke, he threw the purple spear in his hand, which was about two meters long.

Mac an Luin, Finn's weapon and Noble Phantasm, is said to be the magic spear that defeated the fallen deity Aillen. It possesses the ability to attack automatically and nullify negative mental interference.

The spear seemed to come alive; after Diarmuid dodged it, it turned 180 degrees and struck toward the center of Diarmuid's back.

However, Diarmuid was clearly familiar with his former lord's weapon. He immediately backhanded it away with his sword, then seized the opportunity to swing the Yellow Rose and thrust toward Finn.

But Mac an Luin was clearly faster, returning to Finn's hand first to help him block Diarmuid's attack.

It seemed a winner would not be decided for a while.

The others were facing the same situation; their respective opponents were focused on stalling, preventing them from supporting Feng Xi.

Hundred-Faced Hassan arrived outside the palace without any obstruction, only to be stopped by Karna, who was guarding the gate.

Karna had turned into a gatekeeper, preventing anyone from entering the palace.

On Feng Xi's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, after being teleported to the Hanging Gardens, the highest combat power, Gilgamesh, had not been seen; it appeared he had been teleported elsewhere.

Given that guy's personality, even if he did arrive, he would just watch the show first, so don't count on him.

"Bang!!!"

Just then, the palace suddenly exploded violently, and a sky-high fire engulfed the entire structure.

Karna looked at this scene, somewhat bewildered.

You told me to guard the gate, so why did you blow it up yourselves?

... ime returns to ten minutes ago...

Feng Xi was dealing with the pincer attack from Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou and Semiramis when, suddenly, dense swarms of paper rose into the air, surrounding him completely.

It was Shakespeare's First Folio, the same move used to block Frankenstein in the video.

But Shakespeare's abilities were all based on understanding his opponent to create illusions that could shake their heart.

He didn't think Shakespeare could know his past experiences, and there were no memories in his life that could be used as material.

"Let us see what your inner weakness truly is."

Feng Xi didn't notice that as Shakespeare activated his ability, the card in his hand turned into a red light, covering Feng Xi's eyes.

In an instant, image after image flashed through Shakespeare's eyes. He was surprised, but quickly recovered and began his creation.

Feng Xi only felt the surrounding scene shift violently, turning into a familiar yet strange setting.

It was his home from his previous life.

Before transmigrating, he had lived in a hospital for a long time due to leukemia, and having lived in this world for 19 years, his memories of home had become very blurry.

He disliked the hospital; the atmosphere there made him very uncomfortable, so his greatest wish before dying was to return home healthy, but unfortunately...

"Son, come and eat."

A nostalgic voice rang out. Feng Xi looked back to see his parents and younger brother sitting at the dining table, looking at him kindly.

"..."

Watching this scene, Feng Xi said nothing, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Beneath his mask, tears flowed down uncontrollably, followed by towering rage!

He was wrong...

"Bang!!!"

The surrounding scene shattered, the family members before him turned into puppets, and everything returned to nothingness.

"So fast!"

Shakespeare was also stunned to see Feng Xi break free from the First Folio so quickly.

He didn't know that Feng Xi, who practiced Thought Magecraft, had a very high mental strength.

But there was no time to think about that now. Seeing Feng Xi looking at him with murderous intent, Shakespeare knew it was time to hide.

"Bang!!!"

Feng Xi lunged forward to slash at Shakespeare, but Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou was prepared and immediately blocked the blow for him, though he himself was sent flying by the powerful force.

"Come out, Hydra!"

Seeing this, Semiramis summoned chains to intercept Feng Xi while simultaneously summoning a giant nine-headed python.

Hydra, also known as the nine-headed snake, is a magical beast from Greek mythology; it is said that if you cut off one head, two more will immediately grow in its place.

It would be interesting if Chiron were here, as he was indirectly killed by this magical beast in his past life.

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, the Hydra's nine heads bit toward Feng Xi.

Feng Xi slashed out blade after blade, repelling several heads in succession, but he was caught off guard and bitten on the shoulder by one.

If not for the protection of the Capture King Armor, his arm would likely have been bitten off.

Feng Xi quickly backhanded a slash, severing that snake head, but the wound healed rapidly, and two new heads grew out.

Its ability is exactly like the legend. Since that's the case, it's easy to deal with.
