Chapter 892
【Kirei Kotomine watches Shirou Emiya joyfully: "Shirou Emiya, let me ask you one thing, do you think you can defeat your own Heroic Spirit?"】
【"Eh?"】
【Shirou Emiya is stunned; what kind of strange question is this?】
【No matter how he thinks about it, he couldn't possibly be a match for a Heroic Spirit.】
【"Even with a Heroic Spirit, it is very difficult to defeat another Heroic Spirit. So what should be done? This is a very simple and obvious thing."】
【Kirei Kotomine begins to guide Shirou Emiya, revealing the cruel truth to him.】
【"No matter how powerful a Heroic Spirit is, as long as the Master is defeated, the Heroic Spirit will disappear. In other words..."】
【Sure enough, Shirou Emiya immediately realizes.】
【"Compared to defeating a Heroic Spirit, it is obviously more efficient to defeat the Master."】
【At this moment, his mood becomes exceptionally heavy.】
【He remembers that Saber also wanted to kill Rin Tohsaka directly earlier.】
【Saber, who has experienced a Holy Grail War, couldn't possibly not know these hidden rules.】
Caules: "Saying this now, won't it make Shirou Emiya feel fear?"
Taiga Fujimura: "Shirou is not such a cowardly person!"
Archer: "Hmph, if he really quit because of fear, that might be a good thing."
Extra Feng Xi: "Heh, do you really think so?"
Archer: "???"
Archer: "What do you mean?"
Extra Feng Xi: "I'm just reminding you, don't think about things so naively."
【Shirou Emiya: "Then what if the Heroic Spirit is defeated first? Isn't a Master who has lost their Heroic Spirit worthless?"】
【Kirei Kotomine: "No, as long as the Master's Command Spell is still there, the Master's rights are still there."】
【Then, Kirei Kotomine also briefly told the other party about the first four Holy Grail Wars.】
【After hearing this, Shirou Emiya was naturally very shocked.】
【This cruel ritual, which only takes away other people's lives for one's own desires, has actually been held four times!】
【Kirei Kotomine: "The past Holy Grail Wars were all extremely tragic; Masters were driven by their own desires, engaging in indiscriminate killing."】
【"Indiscriminate killing!? If the person who finally gets the Holy Grail is a heinous villain, what should be done?"】
【Shirou Emiya is stunned.】
【In other words, the mages who participated in the Holy Grail War before almost all had blood on their hands.】
【Ordinary people like himself who accidentally stumbled upon a mage's battle are probably all...】
【In an instant, Shirou Emiya only felt his chest filled with anger.】
【Anger at the mages, anger at the evil ritual of the Holy Grail War.】
Zabiko: "This is fanning the flames."
Blonde Rin: "Remove the 'fanning the flames' part; this is fanning the flames."
Waver: "However, although Kirei Kotomine's motives are impure, what he said is all fact."
Lord El-Melloi II: "So, it's better to end this ridiculous competition completely."
【Seeing that the flames have been fanned enough, Kirei Kotomine shows his true colors.】
【"We have no power to stop the Master chosen by the Holy Grail; after all, it is the omnipotent cup that can realize all wishes. If you don't want such things to happen, Shirou Emiya, you just need to win it yourself."】
【"At least, if you get the Holy Grail, it won't fall into the hands of those who slaughter the innocent, right?"】
【The seeds of joy have already been planted; now it's just a matter of waiting for the time to harvest.】
【"I... have no reason to fight."】
【Shirou Emiya's mood is very complex right now.】
【He hates those mages who slaughter the innocent, he hates the Holy Grail War held here, but to let him join in and take the lives of strangers?】
【To prevent others from crying, he chooses to let others die...】
【The current Shirou Emiya is not yet mentally prepared for this.】
【"Oh?"】
【Kirei Kotomine is somewhat surprised.】
【He has already said this much; shouldn't a normal young man be furious and say he can't sit idly by?】
【It seems this kid is not as easy to fool as he thought.】
【It doesn't matter; the harder he is to fool, the more delicious the joy harvested in the end will be.】
Emiya Kiritsugu: "... Not bad, at least he's not like those middle-school-aged youths who, after being incited a little, think they can save everything."
Shirou Emiya: "(Damn, I don't know what to say)"
He has had a very rational personality since he was a child; middle-school-aged stuff is too far away from him.
Shinji sometimes feels quite middle-school-aged.
【"Then who will the Holy Grail fall into the hands of, and what will the person who gets the Holy Grail do..."】
【Kirei Kotomine continues to bewitch: "Or what kind of tragic disaster the other party caused with the Holy Grail, you have no interest in that either, right?"】
【"This..."】
【Shirou Emiya is shaken, but his heart is still somewhat lost, unable to make up his mind.】
【"If there is no reason, that's fine too."】
【Kirei Kotomine turns around, deciding to play his trump card.】
【"Then you don't care about what happened ten years ago?"】
Rin Tohsaka: "This guy, sure enough, is using this matter to talk."
Extra Feng Xi: "After all, the only thing that can make Shirou Emiya make up his mind is this matter."
【"Ten years ago!"】
【Sure enough, upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya's whole person changed, his eyes becoming sharp and serious.】
【Kirei Kotomine: "That's right, ten years ago, at the end of the last Holy Grail War, a Master unworthy of the Holy Grail touched it. We don't know what his wish was; the only thing we know is that after that shocking disaster, it became a ruin."】
【Shirou Emiya: "Could it be that..."】
【That fire, which was seen as an unexplained disaster that destroyed the city, was actually a calamity left behind by the Holy Grail War, a disaster caused by mages.】
【A magic ritual took away so many lives, including his own biological parents.】
Rin Tohsaka: "This guy is quite good at confusing concepts."
Waver: "Although it doesn't look like he's lying, he threw all the problems onto Emiya Kiritsugu."
Fiore: "I can already guess the follow-up; at a critical moment, he will tell Shirou Emiya that this Master is his father, Emiya Kiritsugu, thereby throwing him into hell."
Rin Tohsaka: "It is indeed something this joy-seeking monster can do."
【Kirei Kotomine: "Choose, Shirou Emiya! Decide now whether you want to participate in this Holy Grail War."】
【Video paused.】
【Question: How will Shirou Emiya choose?】
【A: Choose to join the Holy Grail War, attempting to stop the potential destruction.】
【B: Choose to give up, abandoning his identity as a Master.】
【Quiz time is 1 minute; start answering now.】
Rin Tohsaka: "Is there even a need to choose for this question?"
Waver: "Strange, is this a welfare question for newcomers?"
Seeing that this question was so simple, everyone in the group was confused for a moment.
Artoria: "Extra Feng Xi, this question should be A, right?"
"..."
Extra Feng Xi didn't rush to choose, but fell into thought.
This question seems to be a trap.
