Chapter 598: · Human Evil, Born!

[Arash shrugged, then cast a sincere gaze toward the old Saber.]

["Setting that aside. Saber. You wouldn't be thinking of just giving up like this, would you?"]

Old Saber: ["..."]

[He was clearly being spoken to, but he could not answer.]

[He could no longer feel the lips and tongue used for speaking.]

["Hurry up and go save the world, King!"]

[The third voice resounded in all directions, accompanied by the scorching heat of the sun.]

[Ozymandias's eyes were like fiercely burning flames, impossible to forget.]

["Acknowledged. Although I am a Divine King, I also have the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side of a tyrant, and I cannot save such a hideous, twisted, and utterly fallen world. Especially in this current age, which is too greedy for prosperity and obsessed with consumption; I fear it cannot withstand my high-pressure methods."]

[He looked displeased at the edge of the object.]

["...Therefore. Hero, this time it must be saved by you."]

["Sigurd. No, Saber who bears the Holy Sword. Everything is left to you."]

[The fourth voice appeared accompanied by the light of amethyst; it was Brynhildr.]

[Brynhildr did not say much. Her eyes held more content than a hundred lines of speech.]

[The thing in the Great Holy Grail must never be allowed to be born into the world.]

["..."]

[Subsequently, two new figures appeared beside Brynhildr.]

[A tall figure with a serene atmosphere, and a petite figure who seemed to want to hide, as if embarrassed.]

[It was Paracelsus and Hassan of Serenity.]

[The dead Heroic Spirits had gathered here.]

[The two nodded quietly, just this once; the moment this action was captured—]

[The old Saber's definition of himself was renewed, and the sensation in his limbs finally returned.]

Gordes: "This is, other Heroic Spirits helping King Arthur maintain his existence."

Caules: "To think that at this final moment, everyone's hearts are finally united."

Jinako: "This is what a hero's story should look like."

Arash: "Really nice. So polite, I don't remember this memory anymore."

Ozymandias: "Hmph, since you've received my support, failure is absolutely not allowed!"

Paracelsus: "Is this my final choice..."

[At the underground Great Holy Grail, which was stirring, the old Saber's body still remained.]

[In his left arm, he was protecting a small person; it was Ayaka Sajyou.]

Arash teased: ["Knights are supposed to protect noble ladies, right?"]

["..."]

[The old Saber nodded slightly, answering with lips that had not yet fully recovered.]

[—You're right.]

[—Thank you.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Eh? This little girl didn't run away?"

Charlemagne: "Oh oh, even when about to vanish, he doesn't forget to protect the one he's guarding; truly worthy of being the Knight King."

Charlemagne: "It's a pity, why didn't this male King Arthur join the group?"

[The dark roar bared its fangs at the world.]

[The boiling sea of flesh, the maddened appetite, the proliferating chaos—]

[Beneath the cliff of despair, the giant body, using the Great Holy Grail as a shell and harboring an abnormal desire for humanity, was now about to be born.]

[The moment it lost the girl it had once defined as its mother, hundreds of 'lips' formed instantly and let out alien screams; the shouting turned into a wave of magical energy that eroded space, shattering the Great Holy Grail.]

[It was a fierce action equivalent to a declaration that it would no longer sleep, no longer sway, and no longer wait.]

[It was saying that it wanted to be born.]

[Predation, birth, evolution, predation, evolution—]

[Embodiment of Great Desire and Gluttony, thy name is—Beast VI!]

[Be amazed! Know the majesty of the Beast that should be granted the throne and authority by the Great Dragon!]

[That which once existed and now does not, yet is also that which will eventually crawl back up from the bottomless depths.]

[Approaching the city from the other shore of the waves that rose without wind, a phenomenon that, upon birth, is the King of the World who sits on the authority to blaspheme all things, and who governs artifice and decadence.]

[The Sixth Beast, defined as the authority of murder, which carries the woman who is the source of all evil on its back, invites all those in the world who still harbor anger—those who constantly cast blame, disparagement, and insults—to embrace and merge in the center of the golden vortex, devouring endlessly.]

[Among the countless 'lips' that had increased, seven began to expand, transforming into 'jaws' possessing teeth.]

[The head had not yet formed, but it would not Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take long for these 'jaws' to become 'heads'.]

[At that time, the 'Beast of Seven Heads and Ten Crowns' would appear on the earth.]

[Unfortunately, if Babylon, who was its mother, were still in the world, not only the crown, but even the golden cup that was not the Holy Grail would appear together.]

[However, Aika Sajyou's body, pierced by the Holy Sword, had already fallen into the Beast's primeval body, the dark sea of flesh. Even if the girl possessed omnipotence from birth, her soul must surely have been decomposed into spiritrons.]

Gordes: "Is, is it taking shape!"

Waver: "Beast VI... the Sixth Beast, huh..."

Lord El-Melloi II: "Seven heads, golden cup... I see, this Beast is a combination of the Great Red Dragon and the Great Whore of Babylon."

Demon God King: "Hehehehahaha, this scene is truly interesting."

Demon God King: "The Beast created by human hands will bring about the destruction of human history!"

Rin Tohsaka: "You guy, are you really a Grand Servant protecting humanity! Why does it feel like you're on the Beast's Reverse Reverse Reverse Side."

Demon God King: "Heh, why would I need to explain my actions to you."

[Ruin is stirring in the womb.]

[It continued to scream, writhing to begin its invasion of the surface.]

[The vast underground, hundreds of meters in radius, seemed cramped, and the pressure thus pushed from the underground all the way to the surroundings of the cliff.]

[The Beast of Calamity was about to embark on its journey.]

[Even if it was slightly different from the plan set earlier, it would still leap into the city in the Far East and kill all ten million residents of Tokyo.]

[The girl who manipulated phenomena with omnipotence was already dead; it was impossible to save ancient Britain, and the possibility of the Human Order Foundation being destroyed was extremely low—]

[The world has been saved—should one rejoice like this?]

[Tokyo will not be saved—should one sigh like this?]

[Laugh, laugh, you foolish Cardinal.]

[The high-ranking existence you hoped for will never descend upon the city in the Far East!]

[Look, what has awakened underground is a terrifying Beast; what has absorbed the Great Holy Grail and is about to materialize is a giant terror.]

[What is about to descend is not salvation, but it can certainly be counted as the realization of a prophecy.]

[By the time the Holy Church learns of this, Tokyo will surely be gone without a trace.]

[However. To complete this project, it must first grow into a complete body.]

[Head, eyes, mouth, tongue, torso, limbs, tail.]

[It must be reconstructed into the form of a life capable of reigning over the earth.]

[Are the heart and lungs beating?]

[Is the development of the pulse, blood flow, and nerves equivalent to magic circuits normal?]

[It must break the shell and be born into this world.]

["Want to be born, want to be born, want to be born, want to be born, want to be born—"]

["Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat, want to eat—"]

[The seven 'lips' that had turned into 'jaws' could now speak human language.]

[Have the seven brains that should be avoided been truly woven together, based on the spirit core?]

Kayneth: "..."

Waver: "..."

This dialogue is truly the greatest irony for the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association and that idiot Cardinal in that world.

He thought he had left behind the key to the Root, but it was actually Pandora's Box that would unleash destruction.

Aika Sajyou opened this box, and countless worlds would be dragged into the mire because of her willfulness.

Ciel and Riesbyfe didn't know what to say either; after all, a crisis of this level was no longer something the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association or the Holy Church could solve.

Feng Xi: "..."

Watching the writhing, indescribable thing in the video, Feng Xi's thoughts began to wander.

Could this be considered Beast Nero's dark history?

If Beast Nero enters the group in the future and sees herself just after being born in this state, I wonder what kind of expression she would make.

["...No."]

[At the bottom of the darkness, that figure finally stood up.]

["I will never let you be born into this world!"]

[That was the shining knight, the swordsman of destiny, the man who stood his ground with his last ounce of strength to tear through the darkness eroding the world.]

[Should he still be called Saber? After all, even the last Master was gone now.]

["Will be delicious, will be delicious, will be delicious, will be delicious, will be delicious—"]

["Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious—"]

["Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat, want to eat, want to eat, want to eat—"]

["Don't stop me!"]

["That one, the one held in the left hand, will be delicious—"]

[Reflexively, Beast VI swung a tentacle at the old Saber.]

[The thick, fleshy arm, ten meters in diameter, possessed magical energy equivalent to an Rank Rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, and with violent mass and speed, it attempted to crush this Saber who was putting up a desperate resistance.]
