The Diary in the Church

Then the things Shirou witnessed happened.

Gudako recounted everything that had happened, except for one sentence that she had kept to herself, something she wanted to confide in someone. Now she could finally say it.

"That's right, Shirou-senpai. She's the only one with a voice actress. Don't you think that's a bit too cunning?! I don't think she's a bad person, but she's definitely too cunning!" Gudako explained everything that had happened to Shirou, complaining with dissatisfaction.

"Mash seems really angry, I wonder why? Or maybe she's developed a antagonistic feeling towards BB-chan. And since we can't contact Chaldea right now, that child must be really worried. Going back would be a little scary."

"Well, when we get back, I'll plead with her with you. (Special background music and voice acting, it'll happen eventually, in movies, TV dramas, stage plays, probably.)" Shirou reassured his junior.

"Gudako, what's there to worry about?" Lilith walked over with her arms crossed and looked at her Master.

"Um, how tall are you?" Gudako looked up at the petite girl and asked.

"190 centimeters!" Lilith is a sadist and enjoys looking down at everyone. Although her outfit looks like she's on stilts, she still naturally includes the length of her heels in the calculation.

"And what about weight?" Gudako asked again.

"Of course, a slim 33kg." Lilith smiled elegantly and answered matter-of-factly, then decisively removed her heels when talking about weight.

"Shirou-senpai! As expected, those guys with such cute faces are all so cunning! How could those legs only weigh 33kg?" Gudako hugged Shirou's arm and shook it back and forth, saying unhappily.

"How rude of you! Gudako, what do you expect the ladies to say? Even including my legs, I only weigh 53kg! Lip, on the other hand, weighs a ton! And yet you're all staring at her with lustful eyes!"

Shirou couldn't help but think to himself, "Seriously... no matter which one, no matter which world, they're all troublesome guys..."

Meanwhile, BB-chan, who had been hiding and trying not to be discovered, became so anxious that her eyes turned red. In Shirou's Inner World, she protested repeatedly, "Senpai, stop it! That kid who's still engrossed in playing streamer games is different from BB-chan! She likes Zabith and Gudako, but I, BB-chan, am devoted to you, Senpai!"

"Okay, okay," Shirou thought to himself, pushing away the girl who was trying to hug him as she took the opportunity to open her arms, even though it was a good thing that she was becoming more frank.

However, such closeness can be overwhelming. Perhaps after things have calmed down, he should teach BB how to maintain a certain distance between men and women.

Just then, another troublesome girl appeared. BB-chan, who had moved from the broadcasting room, arrived here with a wicked grin.

"Ah! BB-chan! What brings you here?" Gudako greeted her.

"Although I was just watching from the sidelines and causing trouble before, because of an unexpected new face, BB-chan came over to say hello! You look a little familiar, don't you? Hmm, that motherly air about you is kind of disgusting. Is Gudako-senpai someone you know?" The purple-haired girl appeared there asked with a smile.

"This is my senior, Shirou-senpai!" Gudako introduced.

"Eh? Senior's senior?! Hmm, this guy seems to have an extraordinary constitution that brings trouble to women. He's a troublesome fellow. Gudako-senpai, I advise you to stay away from him, or you'll get involved in all sorts of trouble." BB-chan said with a mischievous grin.

BB-chan in the Singularity seems to have memories related to the Moon-cell Holy Grail. For super AIs like BB, judging the existence of others seems to involve not only appearance but also data on Spirit Origin conversion, which is why they could see through Shirou's connection with Nameless at a glance.

Nameless let his combed hair down, and he still looked very similar to Shirou, after all, their physical ages were less than ten years apart. With this kind of insight, even if Shirou turned black or white, BB and Lilith would still be able to recognize him at a glance.

"Hey, Gudako-senpai, I suggest we kick this guy out! He's an outsider who barged in without a reason. He's a destabilizing element, so let's just leave him alone." BB-chan looked the boy over and raised her hand to speak.

Gawain stepped forward and said, "Shut up! Witch! At least in my opinion, this young man is much more trustworthy than you."

Tristan agreed, saying, "Yes, having fought him, I can assure you he's an upright warrior. If we had lived in the same era, perhaps we could have fought side-by-side for the king."

"I know, BB-chan, let's leave for now. It's not time to rest yet. The church in front is suitable for you, but there are formidable enemies waiting for you there. Hehehe, don't die so soon." BB-chan chuckled mischievously and left.

"..." Shirou thought silently for a moment, feeling like he was being disliked. However, compared to BB-chan in his Inner World, the attitude here was probably easier to accept.

'That's so mean, senpai! Don't listen to what those tsundere girls outside are saying! BB-chan is clearly sincere towards you!'

In the Inner World, the girl who is tugging at herself and acting coquettishly is the same girl who is making unpredictable jokes here. They look exactly alike and dress identically, but their attitudes are like ice and fire.

However, if the girl who was restrained earlier were here, things would probably get even more chaotic. Shirou knew he had to rescue that girl.

Passionlip, like Lilith, is also BB's Alter-Ego, embodying love and hate.

Unlike the aggressive and domineering Lilith, Lip is actually a shy and kind girl at heart. However, due to an innate cognitive impairment in her thought process, she cannot understand her own masochistic tendencies and the giant claws that could crush and destroy everything with just a light touch. All she wants is to hug and hold hands with the person she likes.

She is also a composite of three goddess Servant: Parvati, the virtuous and maternal Snow Mountain Goddess; Durga, the Jealous Battle Goddess; and Brynhildr, the tragic Valkyrie who killed her lover due to a misunderstanding.

The golden giant claw represents Durga's ten divinely bestowed weapons, possessing the terrifying power to compress anything that can be grasped into a five-centimeter cube, capable of injuring even the slightest touch.

The chest area contains a huge storage space; any destroyed data, even data from defeated Servant or Master, can be absorbed into it, no matter how much.

As long as she still possesses those enormous claws capable of crushing everything and those breasts that can absorb everything, she is destined to be unable to shake hands with anyone or hug anyone.

Lip, during the Moon's Reverse Side period, is a monster with a cursed, flawed heart. He desperately wants the love of the person he likes, but he completely fails to consider the other person's feelings and true thoughts.

If he refuses to hold her hand, she will feel deceived. If he chooses to hold her hand, he will inevitably be injured by that giant golden claw. Either way, the girl will fall into despair, and then her love will turn into hatred, causing her to take her anger out on everything!

"What do I have to do to make you like me? What did I do wrong? If you can't be happy with me, then why did you even appear in front of me?"

When rejected, Lip will be heartbroken and take her anger out on everything, just like Brynhildr killed Sigurd due to a misunderstanding, and she will swing her giant claws at the person she loves. She will crush her Master, compress him into a cube, and finally put him into her chest, so that she can become one with her beloved forever.

After Lip was defeated, Zabith chose to forgive her for everything she had done wrong, and finally made the girl understand what a real human being is. Humans are particularly delicate, and their hearts are incredibly complex. To get along with them, you can't just look at their appearance, but also try to understand their inner world.

It is because of the gentle Maiden Master from the lunar world who did these things that Lilith and Lip exist today. It is a rare and precious thing that a girl who should have disappeared can start over here and change herself.

Therefore, he couldn't afford to abandon Lip, and the young man made up his mind.

Meanwhile, in another world, a large city was engulfed in chaos, with highways jammed with all sorts of cars, none of them in the driver's seat.

The computer screens on the rows of desks in the office building were still glowing, black pens had fallen from the classrooms in the school, and steam was still rising from the cups in the coffee shop, but there was not a single person in sight.

Suddenly, multiple explosions occurred, billowing black smoke and turning the entire sky a gloomy, deathly gray. Crows cawed, and flocks of various birds took flight, fleeing the island nation.

A hundred-meter-tall white behemoth with long ears towered above the local landmark, the Skytree, obscuring the underground buildings and plunging them into a deathly darkness.

Its fur, white with hints of purple like flames, and its long tail several times the length of its body, swept across the Skytree, knocking it down and sending it flying. The immense force overturned the vehicles parked on the road and sent the bus flying, pulling down power lines and even the utility poles.

The car flew into a nearby gas station, streaking with white sparks and sparks from the metal scraping against the ground, before exploding with a deafening roar.

However, none of this attracted the attention of the behemoth; the flames of the explosion didn't even manage to ignite a single hair on its head.

The white behemoth is named Kashiparu-G, a calamity beast that even the gods fear.

Human Evil, descends upon this world as the fourth beast, Primate Killer, to destroy humanity and fulfill its mission. As a monster wielding absolute power of life and death over primates, it fails to demonstrate true authority.

It spat out a destructive white light, which transformed into a line that stretched for thousands of meters, instantly engulfing everything in its path. Famous mountains on Earth were thus left with a hole tens of meters in diameter before collapsing and shattering.

With a gentle leap, it slammed its giant hand down on the ground, instantly splitting the earth in all directions. The ground began to sink, creating craters everywhere. High-rise buildings, seventy or eighty stories tall, and residential houses all collapsed due to the tilting of the ground, falling into bottomless abysses. Then Tokyo sank...

A white-clad man appeared here, floating down from the sky onto the sea, his feet firmly planted in the water as if standing on flat ground.

The white behemoth stopped moving, its enormous, jewel-like eyes fixed on the man. It raised its massive claws, leaving huge plum blossom claw marks with each step, causing the island beneath its feet, which was already sinking into the sea, to sink even faster.

Shrinking its body to the size of a cat or dog, with a long, bushy tail somewhat like a squirrel, this ferocious and terrifying Primate Killer has transformed into an adorable little animal.

"Thank you, Fou, for always doing these things with me." The man's expression remained unchanged, and his words carried little emotion. Even the most perceptive animal could only discern a hint of gratitude in them. And even that emotion would be gradually eroded by the years.

Once again, he transferred humanity, unable to change their inevitable destruction, to another world.

Thus, the inevitable demise of humanity was brought to an early conclusion. All that remained was to use Fou's power to carry out the destruction, completing the predetermined process of human extinction, after which everything in this world would return to a stable order.

Chapter 269 Diary in the Church

"Fuu!! Fu!" The small white animal leaped high into the air, its four paws tugging at the man's white trouser leg, climbing onto his shoulder, then raising its front paws to slap the man's face back and forth, seemingly complaining about something.

"I'm sorry, I had to force you to come here." The man could no longer feel pain; from the moment he chose this path, he was destined to be immune to any harm.

"Fuu..." Fou shook her head, seemingly calmed down, stopped hitting the man's paws, climbed from his head to his right shoulder, and sat down quietly.

"Really... Thank you, Fou, for doing this with me." The man gently rubbed Fou's chin and said gratefully.

The man was not strong at all; his power was merely creation and transfer—creating something new and transferring something else to another world. As for destruction, he could only rely on others. Therefore, he used Tiamat, Fou, and all beings with this level of destructive power, forcibly transferring them even if they were unwilling.

He is the creator of all things, an existence equivalent to the Root. Shirou Emiya, seeking possibilities, crossed the boundaries of Servant and became a higher-dimensional 'concept' through the Root, the so-called 'creation' concept.

However, unlike the True Magic who escaped by reaching the source, he went much deeper. He chose to merge with the source, becoming a part of it. With an iron will, he miraculously preserved his own identity and appeared in the world as a man created by the ruler.

Shirou Emiya ceased to exist in the human world. He was transforming into a unified concept through fusion and contraction, strengthening his spirit by constantly absorbing the memories of his Shirou Emiya, thus maintaining his own memories. Therefore, even the Counter Force could not stop him, and all the worlds in the universe were changing according to his will.

However, having been assimilated by the source, he will one day lose all his memories and ability to think, becoming a mere concept. The only thing he wants to continue forever is this belief that brings happiness to all beings.

Anything created, that evolves from nothing, cannot harm him.

Transfer, destruction, transfer, destruction—the man simply repeated this process. Unbound by time and space, he could appear in any timeline simultaneously, so he never rested, standing eternally atop the snow-capped mountain like a white ice sculpture...

Within the man's pupils, rainbow-colored bubbles burst and reappeared, and his clone muttered to himself, "Next up is Katsushiroin..."

Then, taking Fou with her, they disappeared from this world.

In 2030, Tokyo sank, and countries around the world sent rescue teams to provide assistance, take in stranded travelers and expatriates, and search for survivors everywhere. Strangely, no bodies of the missing people were found, and experts speculated that they were all swallowed up by the sinkhole.

Those destined to perish—whether blonde and blue-eyed, black-haired and dark-skinned, or middle-aged women who came to Japan to buy toilet seats, otaku from a certain website who went on a pilgrimage to Akihabara, young girls who went to Shinjuku to buy cosmetics, or couples who traveled around showing off their love and posting short videos—were all transferred to another world.

On the international news channel, the Secretary-General and world leaders offered prayers, then declared, "Although the world has suffered a catastrophe, the earth continues to turn, and human civilization will continue to advance..."

Back at the sunken oil base, Shirou and Gudako escaped and, following BB's advice, headed towards the church, one of the few places not yet digitized and a source of spiritual support for the local staff.

The environment in this world is actually very harsh for human Gudako. Excessive mental fatigue can even lead to her own dissipation, so she must rest well.

In fact, it wasn't just Gudako was in poor health. Shirou looked at the petite girl to the side, and even Gawain and Tristan should have vaguely sensed her condition.

"Hey, can you stop staring at me? Just come out if you have something to say," Lilith said, looking at Shirou with a puzzled expression.

'Even if I told you, you'd just be putting on a brave face and try to fool me.' Knowing this, Shirou said decisively, 'No, it's nothing. Let's hurry to the church to rest!'

However, on their way there, they were stopped by a burly man with long, gray hair, a thick beard, and wearing spiked armor. He was a formidable enemy.

The man was Vlad the Impaler, a duke renowned for his military exploits in history, who became Servant. He was not Dracula, as portrayed in legends of vampires and dragons. However, as someone who had repeatedly repelled Ottoman Empire invasions and was regarded as the guardian deity of Romania, he was now exuding madness, and his red cloak was wet, seemingly stained with blood.

He fought relentlessly here, killing not only the Servant summoned to this place, but also many mindless humans. He had long since lost all trace of heroic glory and dignity.

"I'm from Chaldea ..." Gudako tried to strike up a conversation with him.

"Oh, what a surprise, there's still Master here." Vlad the Impaler looked at the girl with surprise, then revealed a maniacal smile and said, "This won't do! How can a pure and upright Master appear in this corrupt world? He must be killed! He must be eradicated completely! I will demonstrate God's love!"

"Let's go to hell together, my friend! Let's greedily indulge in the carnage! Let's fall into evil ways! In this twisted world, there is no more integrity and justice to be found. The church ahead is the source of all evil."

"This body is possessed by a demon god, let us fight to our hearts' content! Hahaha!" Vlad the Impaler, his eyes already bloodshot, laughed maniacally.

"Whoa! It's evil Servant! They've gone out of control and are causing chaos everywhere. Many people have been killed! How terrifying!" the bespectacled female employee cried out in panic.

"He's lost himself in anger... It's truly sad; he can't even have a conversation," Tristan said, frowning.

"Oh dear, isn't this exactly the same as that guy before, who wouldn't listen to anything and insisted on fighting?" Lilith said with a smile, glancing at the handsome man.

"Ugh... It's truly disheartening to be mocked like this by the enemy..." Tristan said, feeling dejected.

"Demon God? What were you just saying?" Gudako asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Words are useless! Let's fight!" Vlad the Impaler charged forward, his claw-like hands outstretched.

"This man has completely gone mad. We must end him, Master! Give the order!" Gawain shouted.

"I understand, let's fight!" Gudako replied.

As Vlad the Impaler charged forward, another group of black Demonic Beast emerged from behind him.

"Lancer, leave it to me!" Gawain drew his greatsword, smashed through the Demonic Beast blocking his path, and charged toward Vlad the Impaler.

"Lilith, you stay behind and protect Gudako, leave the rest to us!" Shirou said to the girl, then charged forward, Projection black and white blades to block and slash down the ferocious Demonic Beast that charged at him like wild bulls.

Tristan drew back the bowstring, and the invisible blade sliced through the Demonic Beast' carapaces, eventually killing them one by one.

Vlad the Impaler donned black steel gauntlets on both hands, one hand waving forward with sharp claws at the tips, the other holding a summoned black spear. At this moment, he resembled a raging black dragon more than a legendary vampire.

Historically, Vlad the Impaler's father, Vlad II, was also known as the Dragon Duke, so Vlad the Impaler was also called the Child of the Dragon. In fact, there is a saying in the West that the image of the dragon originated from the vampire.

But whether facing a dragon or a vampire, the Sun Knight Gawain showed no fear. With his strong and powerful hands, he raised his Greatsword and steadily caught the oncoming attack, activating his Noble Phantasm, and the silver Greatsword burst into flames.

"Excalibur-Galatine— The Rotating Sword of Victory!"

The dazzling sunlight engulfed the black dragon general, and incinerated all the surrounding Demonic Beast, thus determining the victor.

As Vlad the Impaler's Spirit Origin began to dissipate, he regained his senses and said to everyone, "What a nightmare! I didn't even get to see my Master, and I was stuck in endless fighting. Now it's finally over. To die in a battle with a worthy opponent, such an ending isn't so bad for a warrior."

"Before you disappear, please tell me what happened here?" Gudako said anxiously.

"The church is just ahead, and the clues you seek are inside. There's no one here now. I wish you good luck in your battles!" Vlad the Impaler said, then transformed into a shimmering light and departed from this world.

"What's inside the church?" Gudako asked.

"That place always gives me a bad feeling, but it's better than having nowhere to rest," the bespectacled female employee said somewhat fearfully.

So the group went into the church with a cross hanging high outside. At the entrance was a small chapel, which was dimly lit. However, it seemed that because of the Magecraft protection, it had not been corrupted by data, so there was no danger of Demonic Beast appearing inside. They could rest peacefully for a while.

"We should investigate; we might find the key to the next area. But let's do that tomorrow. There are many empty rooms on the second floor of the church; Master, why don't you go up and rest?" Gawain suggested with a smile.

"Yes, let Gudako rest now, she's exhausted." Shirou nodded and said.

"I understand." Lilith nodded in agreement and walked outside. As an Alter-Ego, she was not trusted, and now that Gudako was protected by Shirou, she simply went outside the church to rest.

Just then, the girl noticed that Gudako's eyes were looking towards the wall of the church pulpit, and there seemed to be something scattered on the ground, some of which looked like the remains of a doll, or broken pieces of ceramic.

"There's nothing left there, so it's meaningless to you. Go and rest. I'll watch you go upstairs before I leave," Lilith said softly to Gudako.

"..." Gudako continued to look in that direction, feeling as if there was something there, perhaps emotions, or perhaps important memories. After a long while, she finally agreed.
