The Evil of This World

Jason's body was now mostly corroded by the reddish-black Black Mud, and the Radiant Ship named Agor was also shrouded in shadow.

The once proud heroes were also Wrath by the influence of the Black Mud. Jason felt that his mission was finally accomplished.

"Is it over, Jason?"

Gil was now a grown man, and he looked at the "coward" before him. Even in his cowardice, he could still radiate a unique human brilliance.

This is the reason why the King of Heroes both likes and dislikes humans.

"Enough talk. Before those guys completely turn evil... let it all end. Let's destroy it when we're tired."

Jason wasn't that afraid of death; after all, he'd already died once, and besides, the key figure who turned the tide of the battle was none other than his own uncle Jason.

"The remaining Demon God Pillar are almost completely weakened by the attacks from the Black Mud and you all. Surely a hero like you can't even handle this?"

"Stop your pointless taunts; leave the rest to me."

Without hesitation, Gil pierced Jason with Enuma Elish, for only by using his most prized weapon to kill the man before him could he show him any respect.

With Jason's death, the heroes who had been summoned by Jason also stopped their attacks, staring silently in Jason's direction, before finally turning into specks of light and dissipating in the wind.

The Demon God Pillar were half-dead, only they remained...

"Boom!"

The Black Mud began to boil and spread indiscriminately in the surrounding area. If Solomon had not driven out all the people of Fuyuki City beforehand, the damage caused would have been no less than the Great Fire ten years ago.

"Solomon has completely lost his grip on the Black Mud? It seems the battle is over."

Gil looked toward the heart of the battlefield. He should be helping Fujimaru Kyoya clean up the mess, but he couldn't just leave this Black Mud there.

"Thump~"

This time, the attack pierced through Solomon, but even so, Solomon remained unresponsive. He didn't understand what had happened, and a sense of pessimism began to creep into his heart.

So... all he could do was smile.

A faint glow still lingered on Fujimaru Kyoya's body. He knew that the decisive blow had been delivered, but when Solomon also emitted a similar light, he could no longer hold on and coughed up blood.

At this moment, his Spirit Origin completely shattered. Due to the special nature of Player Fujimaru Kyoya did not die on the spot, but he bled from all seven orifices and most of his bones were broken.

Is it worth it?

It was the same familiar question, the one that Fujimaru Kyoya had been asked countless times by the simulator, spoken from the Solomon Gate.

Solomon couldn't understand why the person before him would do something so irrational.

"There are some things in this world that cannot be measured by the concept of 'worth it.' Perhaps you can understand this if you don't have that kind of wisdom."

Fujimaru Kyoya struggled to his feet. He looked at the enemy who was about to dissipate, and even defeat did not cause him much emotional fluctuation.

Living like a machine, Fujimaru Kyoya wonder, was bestowing absolute wisdom upon humanity a blessing or a curse?

"What are you going to do next? I've lost control of that Black Mud."

Solomon looked at the Holy Grail. According to the original rules of the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail would reveal its form when the fifth Servant returned.

Currently, the Servant are leaving the game include Gilgamesh, Heracles, Jason, Jack the Ripper, and...

"And me too, right?"

As if in response to Fujimaru Kyoya's words, the Black Mud surged forth and engulfed the surroundings. Solomon, who was about to leave, didn't care at all about being swallowed by the Black Mud.

After all, Solomon had always been indifferent.

As a human, Fujimaru Kyoya was not greatly affected by the Black Mud, but his injuries were too severe at the moment, and he would definitely die if he stayed here any longer.

"Having used up all Three Command Seals, this is the symbol of Player's exit from the game. However, I still have one card to play, which is the best trump card to deal with this situation."

"Besides?"

Solomon was certain that Fujimaru Kyoya did not have Command Seal, and even if he wanted to pick up his severed arm, it had already been swallowed by the Black Mud.

After all, he didn't apply Magnetic Heaven Lock with 990,000 horsepower to his arm, and Black Mud wasn't some ignorant guy.

"Yes, there's one last card up our sleeve."

Fujimaru Kyoya recalled "Liaochen," who had stabbed him in the Sixth Singularity; it was clearly a wisp of his will left behind when he Liaochen.

He witnessed Fujimaru Ritsuka's transformation from a little girl into Savior, so he slashed at Fujimaru Kyoya during the crisis.

Now, faced with such "Karmic Obstruction," will he sit idly by?

No, because that's just me.

A streak of light descended from the sky and landed in front of Fujimaru Kyoya. It was a crystal-clear Sarira. In the direction from which the Sarira flew, a dazzling Buddhist light spread out, and the phantoms of gods and Buddhas appeared in the sky, forming Barrier to completely isolate the Black Mud and prevent it from spreading.

"What an exaggerated girl!"

The only person Fujimaru Kyoya could think of who could do such a thing was Kishinami Hakuno, after all, she learned the Limitless Zen at a glance and seemed to be becoming a remarkable person in the future.

However, now is not the time to think about these things; the most urgent task is to get rid of all this Black Mud.

Fujimaru Kyoya gripped the Sarira in his hand and simultaneously slapped it against the nearly broken golden belt around his waist.

Even though you're feeling just as down as I am right now, please help me finish this one last time...

"The last time... Henshin."

The moment the Sarira touched the belt, a vast expanse of Buddhist light emerged centered on Fujimaru Kyoya, completely isolating the mud and filth from it.

That is the light of enlightenment that only those who once had the hope of transcending worldly limitations possess.

"A fourth Pleyer beyond expectations? This Holy Grail War is getting interesting."

Solomon watched Fujimaru Kyoya gradually emerge from the Buddha's light, he realized that his worries were probably unfounded. Even without him, humans still had the ability to do things that seemed impossible.

"The rest is up to you."

Solomon, now free of all attachments, vanished completely and returned to the Holy Grail. With Solomon's return, the Black Mud in the Holy Grail seemed to receive a tremendous boost of energy. They cheered and rejoiced, while cursing the world even more frantically, determined to devour everything in it.

Let the world know what it means to A Bag of Rice Carries Several Floors.

Chapter 189 The All the World's Evil

"Now it's our turn to step in."

Kishinami Hakuno watched as the Demon God Pillar began to dissipate, a symbol of Solomon's defeat and impending return to the Holy Grail. Once such a powerful Servant Solomon returned, the uncontrollable Black Mud would soon engulf the entire Fuyuki City.

Points of Buddhist light emanated from Kishinami Hakuno's pocket. The long-dormant Sarira seemed to sense something and left Kishinami Hakuno, flying towards the distant battlefield.

"It's time for us to set off."

Kishinami Hakuno led Illya and Fujimaru Ritsuka into the Black Mud, but the Black Mud retreated in the face of their steps.

Is this an attempt to avoid Kishinami?

The Black Mud scattered and fled, seemingly heading in another direction. It didn't know where it was going, as long as it wasn't somewhere Kishinami Hakuno. But it didn't matter where Kishinami Hakuno was.

"Vajradhatu Mandala"

As Kishinami Hakuno formed a hand seal, a ray of Buddhist light enveloped the surroundings. This was one of the two mandalas of Esoteric Buddhism, the Vajradhatu Mandala.

Although Kishinami Hakuno consistently quoted Zen Buddhist scriptures during her interactions with Fujimaru Kyoya, this was merely out of consideration for Ryuudou Temple.

Kishinami Hakuno is from the "Eitennryuu" school, a branch of the Shingon Mikkyo Tachikawa-ryu. As the daughter of the sect leader, it is only natural that she would know Tantric Barrier techniques.

One by one, phantom images of gods and Buddhas appeared in the air and combined themselves. Under the gaze of all the gods and Buddhas, the Black Mud had no way to retreat. However, this could only restrain the Black Mud. The one who was truly used to deal with the Black Mud was not Kishinami Hakuno, but Fujimaru Kyoya.

At the heart of the Black Mud, a monk in a kasaya, wielding a demon sword, watched the Black Mud crawling onto his body, sensing the resentment within it.

Murderous intent, resentment, anger, jealousy...

Here you can probably find all the negative emotions of humanity Fujimaru Kyoya. At the same time, the Black Mud also coalesced into a human shape, and after some changes, it became the appearance of Fujimaru Kyoya.

"Finally, I've met you, Angra Mainyu."

Fujimaru Kyoya's expression rarely showed a hint of pity, because as the emotions within the Black Mud were transmitted, he could understand the reason for the birth of this weakest Servant before him.

There was no reason; I was simply chosen.

Because of a foolish sacrificial ritual, an innocent boy was chosen and given the name of the evil god "Angra Mainyu," and died in absolute pain and amidst the curses of the crowd against "evil" during the sacrifice.

Those people were completely unaware that they, at that moment, were the embodiment of evil themselves, performing such rituals.

"Make a wish, and the Holy Grail will grant all your desires."

Angra Mainyu, using someone else's face, spoke seductive words. He wasn't lying at all; at this moment, he could indeed use the Holy Grail to fulfill all of Fujimaru Kyoya's wishes, of course, in the form of "evil."

"I have no wishes; the things I want to do can only be accomplished through my own efforts."

Fujimaru Kyoya slowly walked towards Angra Mainyu showed no fear. He could simply use the Black Mud to create another body after killing this one. As long as the Black Mud could not be completely eliminated, he would not be destroyed.

"You want to destroy me? You can't."

Angra Mainyu stated the truth: how could Servant who emerged from the Holy Grail destroy the All the World's Evil, which had become equivalent to the Holy Grail?

"Destroying you is unrealistic. As long as 'evil' exists in this world, you will not be completely eradicated. Seventy years have passed. Unless the ritual of the Holy Grail War is completely eliminated, you will still exist. Therefore, I have decided not to destroy you."

Fujimaru Kyoya didn't have a cane at this time, so he couldn't get Angra Mainyu to break it as a sign of loyalty. However, getting someone to offer their loyalty didn't require their consent.

"Are you crazy?"

Angra Mainyu looked at the hand reaching for him, but instead of dodging, he let out the most disdainful laugh.

Has this monk's brain been rotten from being soaked in Black Mud?

"I will not Become Buddha until Hell is empty, and I will not attain enlightenment until all sentient beings are liberated." I don't have such grand aspirations, but I do have the determination to slowly wear you down.

The Black Mud surged into Fujimaru Kyoya's body—no, it was actively absorbed into his body by Fujimaru Kyoya.

Angra Mainyu did not resist, because this was definitely a tactic that suited him.

"This is definitely a tactic that's in your favor, isn't that what you think?"

"Who?"

Angra Mainyu looked at Fujimaru Kyoya. It was indeed Fujimaru Kyoya's voice, but that voice had an indescribable arrogance, and its personality was completely different from the Fujimaru Kyoya in front of him.

"Of course it's your father, me."

A pale-skinned and even more arrogant and sinister "Fujimaru Kyoya" appeared, looking at Angra Mainyu, the Servant possessed by malice.

The opponent's strength stemmed from this malice, but it was also this malice that blinded him, causing the opponent to reach his limit.

"Light always thinks it is the fastest, but it doesn't know that darkness is always waiting ahead of it."

As the Demonic Blade Monk spoke, he transferred the Black Mud from Fujimaru Kyoya's body to his own.

"Darkness thinks it can contain everything, but it doesn't realize that its existence is due to the birth of light."

Fujimaru Kyoya felt an endless power emanating from the Demonic Blade Monk; the power of darkness would strengthen the light, and the power of light would expand the darkness.

There is no absolute right or wrong in anything; the unity of opposites is the most universal thing.

Can absolute evil be born from absolute love, and absolute love not be born from absolute evil?

"Divine Demon Not Self."

"Buddha-Demon Duality"

The endless Black Mud was absorbed by Fujimaru Kyoya, and this negative power would be transferred to the Demonic Blade Monk. The stronger the Demonic Blade Monk became, the stronger Fujimaru Kyoya, and the more Black Mud he could contain.

Although the Buddha's body and the karmic body are two sides of the same coin, they are one. The All the World's Evil can only make them stronger.

"Now the question is with you: is this Black Mud truly endless?"

"You..."

Angra Mainyu couldn't believe that there was actually someone willing to bear all this sin, someone willing to devour the endless negative emotions of humanity.

It was clear from his expression that the Black Mud was not inexhaustible, and its limit was being reached little by little.

As Fujimaru Kyoya grew stronger, the Black Mud disappeared at an even faster pace. The "evil" within the Holy Grail vanished completely, and becoming the Heaven's Cup was within reach.

"Those who attempt to bear the sins of humanity, when you are no longer Pseudo-Servant, can you still tolerate these evils of the present moment? You simply..."

"It's not about whether I can do it, but whether I must do it."

Fujimaru Kyoya interrupted the person in front of him directly. Just as he said, he had to do this because he had decided on the future path, so he had to take responsibility for everything on this path.
