What does it matter to me whether Gilgamesh or the Gluttonous King survives to the end? Rir is already dead, and with the strength of his soul, Irisviel's process of becoming the Holy Grail will probably be accelerated even more. It's probably better for me to stay here and watch, after all, the Holy Grail is the key.

After analyzing the situation, Jizi made a decision between two options. She spared some attention to sense the battle at the door, but focused more on Irisviel had already lost her life, beside her.

As for Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya, who were fighting fiercely not far away—both of them are extremely powerful in the human realm, but from the perspective of Heroic Spirit, they are nothing special and cannot cause much trouble.

Speaking of which, Kayneth's spell is quite effective. He has already recovered the two powerful souls, Brsrkr and Rir, yet Irisviel is still not completely Holy Grail -ified. Thumbs up to Lemon Head.

However, just as this thought popped into Jizi's mind—

Dang!

The flames on Irisviel's body rose up as if doused with gasoline, instantly consuming the remaining Mercury. At the same time, her body was completely reduced to nothingness in the fire, leaving only a golden cup filled with black liquid.

"... Damn Huang Xudong! Fuck him!"

The Holy Grail was produced by a single sip of poison, and Ji Jizi wanted nothing more than to slap him a few times. However, her first reaction was to quickly jump off the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, watching from above as the black sludge slowly surrounded Kirei and Kiritsugu, who were still fighting.

"Since neither of you will die, I'm not going to bother with you."

In just a few breaths, the Black Mud covered the entire floor of the room. Kiritsugu Emiya and Kirei Kotomine only touched it slightly before collapsing under its weight and being submerged, completely bewildered.

"Then it's time to delve into philosophy. The more someone overthinks the idea that killing is simply to save more lives, the more easily they get caught up in it. There's no such thing as absolute justice or absolute right. Foolish humans..."

Recalling the dialogue between the All the World's Evil and Kiritsugu Emiya in the original work, Jizi offered an irresponsible sigh from an outsider's perspective. In reality, when those questions actually fell on her own, she probably would have just buried her head in the ground and buryed her head in the sand to escape reality, unlike Kiritsugu Emiya, who at least managed to force himself to make a choice.

However, since it doesn't concern her now, she can freely make judgments, after all, she's not the one caught up in the All the World's Evil.

But is it really that simple?

"!"

The mud inside the exhibition hall was piling up thicker and thicker, but there was still a considerable distance to the ceiling, so theoretically Jizi should have been perfectly safe. However, at that moment, a powerful force pulled her towards the Black Mud.

What's going on? Why will I be affected?

The Unknown pulling force continued to increase. At first, Jizi was able to hold onto the lamppost to keep her body steady, but after a few minutes, even with her Heroic Spirit power, she could no longer maintain it.

The Black Mud directly beneath her churned like lava leaping from a volcano, reaching new heights each time, making Jizi feel as if the Black Mud was reaching out to grab her.

"Could it be that instead of some force pulling me, I'm attracting the Black Mud? The feeling of being 'pulled' is because forces are reciprocal?"

Even though Jizi grasped some key points, she didn't have time to react, because a burst of Black Mud erupted, stuck to the hem of her clothes, and then enveloped her entire body along that spot, pulling her into the mud below.

"Wait, no!!!"

Half her body was submerged in the mud. Jizi reached out in vain, trying to grasp at a non-existent lifeline, but was gradually pulled in. A stream of liquid rushed towards her, filling all seven orifices.

Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!

She coughed loudly, trying to get air through her lungs. Although she no longer needed to breathe, the memory of her respiratory system being blocked by Black Mud before losing consciousness was too terrifying, so Jizi's instinct still made her emphasize her existence by breathing.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was emptiness. I couldn't feel my body supporting me, nor could I feel myself falling. It was as if I was floating in space.

Jizi tried to move her body and found nothing wrong. However, because she was in the void, with no foothold and no sense of direction, she could do nothing but stretch her limbs.

"Where am I? Could I be inside the Holy Grail? No, that's not right. I'm Srvant. If I were sucked into the Holy Grail, it would mean the end. Since I can still retain consciousness, it proves that's not the case."

"Is this place like Kiritsugu and Mapo, a space where the Holy Grail manifests based on the reflection of my inner self?"

This analysis isn't entirely without merit, but why is it all just an empty space? What does this imply?

Kiritsugu Emiya saw the All the World's Evil disguised as Irisviel, and was then forced to confront the truth about the Holy Grail, because what mattered most to him was becoming Hero of Justice. Kirei Kotomine, on the other hand, observed the interaction between Kiritsugu Emiya and the Holy Grail from a third-person perspective, because what mattered most to him was Kiritsugu Emiya... ahem.

What does the emptiness that Jizi saw represent? Does it represent that she actually had nothing in her heart?

Hehe~

Just as Jizi was reflecting on himself, a frivolous laugh came from some direction in the vast emptiness.

Who is it?

It's me.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before them, who had previously been completely invisible. The figure had long, silver-white hair, crimson eyes, and a face that appeared to be perfectly proportioned, as if artificially sculpted.

Alice —no! Is this me?

I initially thought it was Irisviel, or perhaps Angra Mainyu who borrowed her appearance, but upon closer inspection, there are quite a few differences between her and that elegant lady. Compared to her, this person's appearance is more like Jizi.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on, Angra Mainyu?"

"Angra Mainyu? Who's that?"

The woman, who looked exactly like Jizi, tilted her head, as if to say, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Stop pretending. Who else could be here besides Angra Mainyu?" (The novel website doesn't skip words.)

Seeing the cuteness, Ji Zi felt a little conflicted. Although she was indeed charmed, she still focused on the other Jizi and questioned the guy who looked like Angra Mainyu.

However, the other party shook their head and denied it:

"No, I'm Jizi."

"You're kidding me!" Jizi laughed angrily. "If you're Jizi, then who am I?"

"You're Jizi."

The conversation seemed to be stalled. Jizi sighed, took a moment to calm down, and looked again at the man who called himself Jizi but was likely Angra Mainyu. He said:

"Alright, alright, anyway, Jizi is just a name, anyone can call you that. If you like the name, we can share it. But could you tell me about your other identities besides Jizi?"

Whether it's "Jizi" or "Angra Mainyu," these are just code names. What is their true nature?

The other person remained silent for quite a while. Just as Jizi was about to ask another question, she suddenly changed her previous innocent expression and revealed a mischievous smile:

Are you really not, or are you just pretending?

"!"

This question was a bit unexpected for Jizi. Although she didn't really think the other person was as silly as they seemed, this sudden change of expression was still quite intimidating.

"I do have some guesses, but I just want to confirm them."

I had noticed it long ago: the new body given to me by the World Administrator has an extraordinary talent for sensing and receiving energy, as if it were a container specially made to receive it.

What about the next step?

In essence, the Lesser Grail is also a container, isn't it? It holds the souls of seven Seraphs.

The Greater Grail also contains things like the All the World's Evil.

Jizi certainly wouldn't go to harbor the soul, so all that's left is the All the World's Evil.

The World Administrator mentioned before that, in addition to the three Ahoge) containing immense power, there is also a mechanism on the body specifically designed to combat the All the World's Evil. It is likely that this is why Jizi is so attracted to the Black Mud.

The All the World's Evil is ultimately a product of human consciousness. The two major Counter Force cannot eliminate it openly and honestly, so they can only try to do things indirectly. However, those small tricks cannot guarantee that they will be effective.

Wouldn't it be much more convenient if we changed his vessel, making the All the World's Evil no longer Angra Mainyu, but an existence from another world?

"So to say that you are the All the World's Evil, and also me—that makes sense."

"But do you really think I wouldn't do anything even if I resisted?" (The novel website doesn't skip words.)

Jizi reached for the last Ahoge on her head, but the other person didn't react at all, only continuing to maintain that wicked smile.

"I'm sorry, but I don't intend to become your new vessel. I will fulfill my promise to the World Administrator, so goodbye."

Use the last ahoge (Ahoge) to escape from here, then head straight to Ryuudou Temple to wait for the battle between Sabr and Arhr to end, and destroy the Greater Grail after the hole is opened—as for destroying it, hehe, if I don't remember, Kiritsugu should still have some explosives there—the script is already written, and the actors are ready to go.

Hehehe~

The embodiment of All the World's Evil remained motionless. She stared at Jizi with unfathomable eyes and said, "Do you really think you can escape? Don't you consider why I can appear in this form?"

Upon hearing this, Jizi felt a chill in his heart—could it be that the All the World's Evil had already been transferred long before their conversation?

"Without."

These two words felt like a mountain pressing down on Jizi, rendering her completely immobile. Meanwhile, the other person calmly reached out and raised their hand.

Huh? Why is it raised?

Only then did Jizi realize that he had transformed from a human form into Mask, and he could no longer summon or condense a new body. He could only helplessly watch as the All the World's Evil was raised and slowly pressed against his face.

"No!"

"No!"

When Jizi had already left that void.

She was lying in the corridor leading to the main entrance of the Fuyuki Civic Hall. The presence of Saber and Arhr could still be felt at the entrance, so it seemed that not much time had passed.

She slowly got up, recalling what had happened.

The All the World's Evil... Where is that guy now? Or was it all just a dream?

Only then did she realize that she still had the Holy Grail in her hand!

She held the Lesser Grail, which had been transformed from Irisviel's remains, in her arms. Several viscous, dark liquids were clearly visible inside the chalice, but they seemed to be blocked from flowing out.

Jizi struggled to her feet, but when she saw her reflection in the gleaming floor, she froze again.

Her once lustrous silver hair, as bright as the moon, lost all its shine, turning a deep, inky black. Her once crimson eyes were now stained black as well, as black as black holes in the universe, devouring all light.

At that moment, a violent discomfort surged up from within her. She felt as if her body was churning, roaring, and howling, wanting to spread despair and malice to the world, but this powerful force was locked within her small body.

They couldn't break free of this shell, because it was a prison tailor-made for them, but they could still inflict endless torture on Jizi himself.

Burned by raging fire, pierced by swords, frozen by extreme cold, and attacked by potent poison... Several kinds of pain acted on Jizi's senses at the same time. Although her body showed no abnormalities, the mental shock almost made her faint.

The will of Angra Mainyu has vanished. Perhaps ever since he was tortured to death as a symbol of "evil" in the distant past, and forcibly instilled with the All the World's Evil, that man has endured all of this every day. Now that he has finally been freed, whether he has disappeared or lived, it is a fitting end.

"Bang!"

Just as Jizi struggled to her feet, the doors of the nearby Fuyuki Civic Hall were suddenly flung open with tremendous force. When the dust settled, Saber was seen kneeling on one knee, several swords piercing her body. She was only unharmed thanks to the protection of [Avalon]. However, Arhr's Noble Phantasm was exhausted, and in her current state, how long could she maintain [Avalon]?

However, the battle between the two Kings' Swords suddenly stopped in the next instant, because they both sensed a rapidly increasing and powerful aura nearby. Following their senses, they saw what appeared to be Assassin and the Holy Grail gleaming with golden light beside her.

"Bastard! Who gave you permission to lay a finger on my treasures!"

"The Holy Grail —what have you done to Irisviel?!"

It seems Jizi has been mistaken for someone who stole the Holy Grail while they were fighting. "Heh," she chuckled inexplicably at the thought. "Who the hell wants this? If you're so capable, then take it."

This sounded very provocative, and as soon as he finished speaking, a flying knife came straight at him. Jizi neither dodged nor avoided it, letting the knife pierce his heart.

"Hiss~"

Black blood gushed from the wound, but a few seconds later, countless tiny black threads emerged from both ends of the wound, filling it up and making it appear as if it had healed.

"Hmph, just as I expected."

Jizi currently possesses immense magical power within her body. While not as extraordinary as the one with the Ahoge up), it far surpasses that of an ordinary Srvant. However, whenever she tries to actively mobilize this magical power, the pain she experiences increases exponentially. Conversely, if she is attacked by external forces, this magical power will spontaneously repair her wounds.

Unless a holy sword with immense destructive power, like [xaibr] or [Ea], completely destroys her in an instant without leaving a trace, she truly cannot die even if she wants to.

But would Sabr and Arhr possibly use their prized holy swords to cleave through a nobody like Jizi? It's highly unlikely, right?

"Sabr! Unleash your Noble Phantasm and destroy the Holy Grail with all your might!"

The voice of Kiritsugu Emiya rang out from behind him, indicating that he too had been expelled by the Black Mud and had grasped the true nature of the Holy Grail.

But destroying the Holy Grail is pointless; all that remains there is a vast amount of magical energy corrupted by the All the World's Evil. What truly needs to be destroyed has already been moved elsewhere.

Speaking of which, the Holy Grail seems to be... Jizi glanced at her hand—"I'm still holding it!"

The sword of light slashed down with unstoppable force, and Jizi, caught in the immense destructive power, felt his body gradually disintegrate.

The pain brought by the All the World's Evil and the destruction caused by the holy sword numbed all her senses. Perhaps it would be better to just disappear like this...

That's all for now.

----------------------------Not finished yet------------------

P. S. 1. This isn't over yet; there's an epilogue.

Ps2. The original intention of World Management was to All the World's Evil from Angra Mainyu to Jizi, and to seal it away with Jizi as a seal, because as long as there are humans, there will be good and evil. The vessel of All the World's Evil can be either Angra Mainyu or Jizi. The difference is that the former was integrated into the Greater Grail, while the latter is not a person of this world.

Ps3. The All the World's Evil will grant Jizi a large amount of magical power, but using that corrupted magic will be a huge burden. If Jizi simply acts as a seal, the Counter Force won't do anything, but if she forcibly uses that magic to take revenge on society, the Counter Force will send a Guardian to kill her. Then, because the All the World's Evil has already left the Holy Grail, even if it returns to Angra Mainyu, it won't pose a threat.

P. S. 4. This seems a bit far-fetched... I think so too, but that's all we can do. Sorry.

53. It is said that this is another ending.
