Kiara Sessyoin's Dark Emiya

As a human, she is not Magecraft with immense destructive power, nor does she possess any miraculous abilities, but she has the instinct to influence human hearts through words and actions. With boundless love, she extends compassion, understanding, and tolerance to everyone. Even the Extreme Evil and seemingly incorrigible individuals cannot resist this care.

People crave understanding and love, and whatever their desires, they find approval and support in Kishou Shotoku. They would do anything for her, live for her, and die for her. If they could receive her love, even going to hell would be the ultimate happiness and enjoyment.

She transformed a cold-blooded, ruthless, and utterly faithless assassin sent by Western European Zaibatsu into a follower, who then truly became a sage who brought blessings to the region.

There was also an old woman from the Makiri Magecraft who was skilled in insect True Magic and once had lofty ideals, but later became obsessed with prolonging her life and would stop at nothing to do so. She lived for five hundred years and changed her surname to Matou after immigrating to Japan. Under her influence, she became a truly good person.

There are countless such cases. Kishou Shotoku is a true saint. The love she bestows can indeed redeem all humanity from despair and suffering.

Kishou Shotoku never tells a lie to herself or others, openly displaying her desires. Yet, she manages to manipulate people into acting for her, uttering completely truthful lies, and then, when she loses interest, she readily abandons them.

Kishou Shotoku's own wish is to satisfy the desires of more people, and it is for this reason that she works tirelessly to save all living beings and aspires to become the embodiment of their faith and aspirations.

People's desires lay bare before her, and she would encourage them to pursue them, finding immense pleasure in the process. Once people's hearts were satisfied, their desires would fade and become something no longer needed.

At this point, Kishou Shotoku would leave these people without hesitation and never speak to them again. Many who had found redemption through Kishou Shotoku would fall into unbearable grief, break down, and commit suicide as a result.

However, all these things were superfluous to Kishou Shotoku, because from the very beginning, in her eyes, she was the only one who could be considered truly human. She would save humans only because she wanted to experience the pleasure brought by their intense desires.

She was an absolute egoist. After all, when she lay desperately in her hospital bed as a child, she had already realized that other humans were beyond saving and could only use their desires to satisfy their own toys. If someone came with a strong desire to kill her, she would open her arms and gladly accept it. But if it was desire, she would only regard it as an unnecessary burden and leave coldly and decisively.

In the Moon Holy Grail War, she absorbed a massive amount of energy and, with the help of Andersen's Noble Phantasm, Servant the Moon-cell, ultimately achieved the status of 'god'. As a god, she brought more disasters to humanity. Her love and care for humanity came from the bottom of her heart. She loved humanity more deeply than anyone else. It can only be said that this is the love of a god, not the human love that people can understand.

In the Moon-cell of memory, in the world Moon's Reverse Side, Nameless and Zabith went through many battles.

On the first floor, the opponent he encountered was a child who looked very similar to the Shinji he knew. However, although they shared the same name, this Shinji Matou's true identity on Earth was actually a boy born in Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan.

She was conceived using genetically preserved sperm from the Macchiato family obtained by her mother. She is a 'designer baby' whose real age is actually a spoiled, arrogant, and disrespectful 8-year-old.

However, this is inevitable, after all, he won the Asian gaming championship at such a young age, and his talent as a hacker is indeed outstanding. What he hates most is the world champion gamer Gineko.

The Servant was Francis Drake, a legendary English pirate who not only completed two circumnavigations of the globe but also repelled the Spain Armada, thus ushering in the Sun Never Sets Empire.

In the brutal elimination rounds, he defeated Zabith Shinji. Seeing his former friend disappear, he couldn't help but shed tears for him.

On the second floor, the opponent's Master is an old knight who has been trusted by the Queen of Britain. The battle takes place in the forest, Servant is a green-haired man, a duel between beings known as the Faceless King.

On the third floor, she encountered a pitiful girl not yet ten years old. Her physical body had died in reality, and as an electronic ghost, she wandered around the online world, watching the competition from the outside. It wasn't until she saw Zabith, who was in a similar situation, that she couldn't help but follow her into the competition arena. Originally, the girl was just lonely and wanted to play with someone, but she was now caught in a situation where she had no choice but to fight.

The fourth encounter is with Rin Tohsaka, who has summoned Lancer Cú Chulainn and is locked in a fierce battle. As a member of the 'Liberation Front,' an organization resisting the Western European Zaibatsu, she followed Leo, the heir to the Western European Zaibatsu, to this place to participate in the Holy Grail War. Her wish is to defeat the Western European Zaibatsu, who control Earth's resources but do not seek change, and then settle down in the Land of the Rising Sun.

In the Moon Holy Grail War, her virtual form is a black-haired, twin-tailed young lady, but her original hair color is actually blonde. She has a strong personality and possesses the qualities and strength of an outstanding Magecraft. She is decisive in killing, but because of her sense of justice, she helps Zabith, who saved her, all the way. Even after losing her Servant, she continues to stay by Zabith's side and help her.

The fifth-floor opponent, Julius, Leo's half-brother, is a member of the Harvey family, Western European Zaibatsu family. He was born as a designed baby, but was born with a congenital defect of low ability. In the cruel post-apocalyptic world, even the Harvey family would not raise a useless mortal. However, he won attention with his will to survive.

So the adults trained him to be an assassin, and he later became the captain of a special assassin unit set up by the conglomerate to target terrorists.

During his childhood, his only support was Leo's mother, who cared for him. However, his first mission was to kill his adoptive mother. Before she died, his adoptive mother smiled and begged him, "Leo is in your care now."

After that, Julius lost his last vestige of humanity. Apart from completing his assassin mission, his only goal in life became protecting Leo and assisting him in becoming the head of household.

His Servant is Li Shuwen, a Chinese martial artist. As an assassin, he displays stealth techniques that leave no trace of his presence, and a fist technique that can sever magical energy, making him a formidable foe.

After a fierce battle, they finally cracked Li Shuwen's concealment and defeated their opponent.

Driven by his obsession, the deceased Julius became a cyber ghost and fought Zabith once again in the final level.

Julius, a failed design baby, an inferior and talentless ordinary person, felt threatened from the equally weak Zabith from the very beginning. In the final battle, he was defeated by Zabith, but during their conversation, he understood the girl's thoughts, regarded her as his only friend, and then disappeared with a sense of relief.

The opponent on the sixth floor is a brown-skinned, bespectacled, expressionless Egyptian girl named Rani, who summons the Berserker Lu Bu. She is an android created by the last alchemist of the Atlas Institute, specializing in computer warfare; as the Master of the Moon Holy Grail War, her talent is second to none.

The seventh floor is occupied by the defending champion, a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He possesses extraordinary talent beyond that of ordinary planned infants, has received elite education since childhood, and can perfectly accomplish anything. He is also adept at reading people's minds, making him almost like a true emperor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest Master in this event.

As the successor to a Nordic conglomerate that controls nearly two-thirds of Earth's resources, he disregards his family's objections and enters the Moon-cell to participate in the war in order to prevent the Holy Grail from falling into the wrong hands and causing instability on Earth.

His summoned Knights of the Round Table, Saber Gawain, displayed overwhelming power for three hours at noon.

He is adept at reading his opponent's psychology through subtle facial expressions, and he finds it difficult to understand the inner thoughts of the expressionless Zabith, so he cares a lot about her.

However, this time the Moon Holy Grail War has come to a standstill. It seems that during the period between the end of the fifth layer of the war and the start of the sixth layer of the battle, Zabith was kidnapped to the Moon's Reverse Side.

Place it in the infirmary and let it fall into a deep sleep.

However, Zabith woke up from her dream and called out the name of the Servant connected to her heart.

Nameless, through various means, came to Zabith's side, renewed their contract, and began exploring the Sakura Labyrinth. During this time, he met Lilith and Lip, and unlocked the hearts of the girls.

In order to save the girl and leave the Moon's Reverse Side, Zabith asked nun Kishou Shotoku, who had also been transferred to the old school building, to teach her the computer techniques 'Five Stops Heart View' and 'Ten Thousand Colors Slow' that she had developed.

But even BB didn't expect that Kishou Shotoku was the mastermind behind it all.

Chapter 272 Katsushiroin Emiya

Shirou is transported to the world of Dark Archer, which is the same world as Nameless, but a different timeline, and is another dark hero.

In this world, Shirou Emiya never met Rin Tohsaka, nor did he see Sakura. For the sake of his ideals, he learned how to use various firearms and bombs, traveled to the battlefields of the Middle East, and honed his combat skills as a top-notch mercenary.

Then a choice arose: if he chose to become an instructor for the resistance, he would become Nameless.

If he chooses to investigate a strange and dubious religion, he will degenerate into the remnants of his own ideals, resorting to any means necessary, hating the world, cursing himself, and instinctively trying to save the world.

The brown-skinned man had shaved his white hair into a buzz cut. He had previously infiltrated this religious group to investigate dangerous incidents such as terrorist attacks committed by its followers, only to find that the believers all had smiling faces and were very friendly people.

Among these believers, he even saw the old man he had met in his youth, the Grand Mage Zouken Matou, who in his prime could even rival Servant.

In a world where Magecraft has become merely a thing of the past, the cold-blooded and terrifying old monster who survived to this day has now become a kind and gentle old man...

Even those ruthless and heinous criminals he encountered on the battlefield, who he found troublesome, became the most devout believers and benevolent people after meeting Kishou Shotoku...

He met a girl who had not yet fully become a saint, and his ideals were recognized.

"Your justice is right. Those people you killed did not die in vain. Because of them, the world can move back on track. This is necessary for me and for everyone's future." The holy girl cupped the white-haired man's face and comforted him.

"As long as you can maintain this desire, even if the whole world is your enemy, I will stand by your side."

But in order to achieve the justice he sought, he often had to kill wave after wave of people.

Inevitably, there are innocent individuals who have no choice but to follow the wives and children of terrorists. However, if they are left unchecked, the children may also be sent to the battlefield by the terrorists.

If they are used as test traps and mines, or as expendable resources for assassinating enemies, then the people on the other side will never have peace.

It's like a plague, a group infected with a deadly virus, including infants. There's no effective treatment, and if it's not dealt with, it could spread all over the world, potentially causing the deaths of tens of millions of people.

"Sometimes, to save more people, we have to sacrifice them. You didn't do anything wrong."

Encouraged by the saintly woman, he did it without hesitation.

Everything was for the future of humanity, but this reason seemed to have been heard from the terrorists he killed as well.

One day, the man completed his mission and rode his black off-road motorcycle back to the high-rise building in the sacred grounds of the sect where the sect leader resided. The gatekeeper saw the man, opened the gate, and let him in without worry.

"Hey, welcome back," the security guard greeted with a smile.

The white-haired man didn't say anything and walked inside.

"How indifferent! It would be so much better if everyone just greeted each other and chatted and laughed." The security guard wasn't angry, but he muttered helplessly.

This man is a lone wolf, but he is incredibly strong. He was said to have been a renowned mercenary on the battlefield, making him a rare martial arts expert within the sect.

They are all members of the same religion, which has now grown into a sect with millions of members. Although it is complex and has many factions, no matter how bad their past may have been before joining the sect, under the teachings of that saintly leader, all believers believe that there is not a single bad person here.

The white-haired man, who had just entered the building, was about to encounter an elderly man chatting amiably with the worshippers.

"Oh, Emiya, you're back. Thank you for your hard work on the mission. Hand over your weapon first, and then you can go in and peek at Lord Kiyohime."

"Sorry, old man of the Matou family, I can't do that this time," the white-haired man said with a cold laugh.

Bombs specially designed for bombing buildings were attached to the ceiling, and grenades rolled to the feet of the cultists, exploding and falling rocks directly blocking the path of Zouken Matou and his followers.

The white-haired man rushed straight inside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The believers, acting as protectors, screamed in alarm.

Although there are no bad people in this sect, most people who are neglected by the leader and cannot bear the blow will find a place to quietly end their lives so as not to cause any more trouble for anyone.

However, there are sometimes people who overreact, and in order to prevent the Western European Zaibatsu who are after Kishou Shotoku and the assassins sent by the Church of the Holy See who are jealous of the cult leader's holiness and virtue, this building is always closely protected by mercenaries and former soldiers who have converted to religion, all for the sake of their beloved Sovereign.

The white-haired man killed wave after wave of armed fanatics. With each floor he climbed, he had to kill those who stood in his way, people who had previously shown him kind and friendly smiles.

He blew up the path leading to the pursuers, finally reaching the inner church, killing the guards outside, and finally seeing the woman.

Inside the heavily guarded religious shrine on the mountain, a group of men and women dressed as believers were chatting and laughing together, appearing to be enjoying themselves immensely.

The central figure is a nun wearing a white headscarf. Although she is tightly wrapped up, covering her hair and neck, and only her face is visible, she is still beautiful and charming.

All eyes were on her, filled with affection and admiration.

As a faint shriek rang out, the smiling believers turned to astonishment, staring blankly at their chests. They discovered blood gushing from their bodies, their strength waning, and they collapsed to the ground.

A muscular man with short white hair, dressed in black, walked into the center of the church. His two silenced pistols were smoking, and his eyes were filled with expressionless numbness and indifference.

"Oh, you're back? Did you complete your mission of upholding justice?" The beautiful woman in the nun asked the man without the slightest hint of nervousness.

As for the believers lying on the ground, she had been chatting amicably with them just a moment ago, but the next moment, seeing their corpses, she showed no pity whatsoever.

As always, she smiled gently and kindly, watching with encouragement as her followers fought, quarreled, and even killed each other over her.

However, the man understood that this was the terrifying aspect of this woman named Kishou Shotoku. Although she displayed the demeanor of a saint, loving all people and embracing everyone's desires, in essence, she only loved herself.

Her compassionate treatment stemmed from her saintly qualities, which extended to both wild animals and plants. Her tolerance of her followers' infighting was simply because, in her eyes, these followers were like wild beasts fighting over food.

"Ah, so this time, I'm here to kill you," the white-haired man replied coldly.

"Your desires aren't pure enough! Even you've become a boring man. I thought things would be different if it were you." The alluring nun frowned, looking at the white-haired man with a rare expression of disgust.

Bang!!

Holding a black, bladed gun, the fired missile knocked off the nun's hood, revealing her thick, glossy black hair hidden beneath.

As the tattered cloth fluttered down, a broken strand of hair fell, its long, messy curls giving the woman a more mature and alluring charm than ever before.

"Why did you appear in front of me? You clearly no longer have strong desires. Where are you now, the one who killed so many people for your ideals? You were killing while simultaneously feeling guilty and tormented by it."

Didn't you already abandon the vow you made to kill everyone who stood in your way for me? Didn't you already leave me? What are you doing back here now?

This indecisive and half-hearted manner is so ugly, so offensive! Get out of here!

The saintly woman looked at the white-haired man and revealed a side of vitality different from others. Perhaps it was because she saw a glimmer of hope in this man with lofty ideals and an iron will.

If she is a born saint, then the man is a fool who, with a mortal body, struggles to achieve the accomplishments of a saint. Although his presumptuousness is ridiculous and laughable, his earnest efforts are dazzling and admirable.

Perhaps it was this glimmer of light that allowed him to see through himself, something no one else had been able to see. But she was still disappointed; the man before her had chosen to stand against her, not to save her, but to kill her.

If you could see all this clearly, and if you wanted to save so many people, then why didn't you come to help me in the first place?

Kishou Shotoku was born and raised in a secluded mountain village. She was loved by her father, the Sovereign, and the followers around her, but she was also confined to the house and not allowed to go out even through the door.

The Tachikawa-ryu religion, which advocates a return to nature, severed all contact with the outside world; there was no internet, no magazines or newspapers. So, her childhood world consisted only of the size of her house.

Life should be lived in moderation, and one should not waste one's life. Her father and the believers always preached these grand principles, but they did not change the fact that she lived in a prison-like environment.

Later, due to her frail health, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and doctors said she wouldn't live past the age of fourteen. After that, they wouldn't even let her leave her room.

"That's so pitiful."

"Why did such an unfortunate thing happen to such a lovely girl?"

"God is so unfair..."

The believers were always saying these things around her, but none of them ever thought about actually helping her. No one thought about finding new medicines or visiting famous doctors to cure her.

Lying in her hospital bed, Qi Huang flipped through her beloved book of Andersen's Fairy Tales, only to find that the kind of good, kind, and beautiful people mentioned in the book, apart from herself, seemed impossible to find in reality. She gradually came to the conclusion that 'people don't save people!'

Until one spring when she was fourteen, on the verge of death, she stumbled upon the internet and discovered that the technology outside already had a cure for her terminal illness.

So she rallied her followers, leading them away from the mountains to receive treatment at a hospital. Then, leveraging her extraordinary talent as a spiritual hacker, she tirelessly preached and spread her teachings, eventually developing the Tachikawa-ryu into a major religion with millions of members...

On the one hand, she was feared by Western European Zaibatsu and the Church of the Holy See, and was listed as a wanted criminal. On the other hand, she became, in the eyes of many, a saint and the only salvation in life.

Millions of believers worship her as a deity, and even rival Western European Zaibatsu and competing Church of the Holy See have had to admit that this woman is indeed a saint.

Only the awakened man saw through her true nature: the woman, as a saint, loved all mankind, yet only considered herself as human. Therefore, helping herself was an act of kindness to all mankind, and making herself happy was a blessing to all mankind.

The others, the followers around her, were nothing more than toys and beasts in human skin. Their lives and deaths were of no importance to her. As long as it brought her pleasure, she would not hesitate to destroy the earth, because she was the only human in this world to begin with.

"Kishou Shotoku! Your existence is far too dangerous. Although you wear the skin of a saint, you are an evil god beyond human comprehension. You will only lead everyone to destruction. I cannot let you live any longer," the white-haired man said coldly.

"Hehehe, is it really okay to say such righteous things? But deep down you're just jealous, aren't you? Because I've become cold towards you." Kishou Shotoku smiled charmingly, then froze, looking at the man with a mocking expression, and said, "Boring people, don't ever show your face in front of me again!"

"That might be true, but I'm prepared to bear the consequences of my sins, including your death. Goodbye in hell, witch!" The white-haired man raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

The woman, hailed as a saint, collapsed to the ground with a bloody hole in her forehead, her eyes wide open and a mocking smile still on her lips as she stared directly at the man.

Even so, she still appeared incredibly beautiful; perhaps no one in the world could be more beautiful than her?
