I, Rin Tohsaka, Will Become a Demon God Too-Fierce Battle / On the Road to Becoming a Demon God: The End! ...

The little boy listened to Kirei Kotomine's words, and the liveliness proper to his age returned to his eyes.

"Father, please let me follow you and save other people."

Kirei Kotomine silently turned and walked away. Just as Shirou thought the priest was unwilling to take him in, a voice drifted over on the wind.

"Follow me. From this day onward, you are a member of the Kotomine family."

The little boy happily hurried after Kirei Kotomine and said at his side,

"Then, Father, my name used to be Shirou. Now that I have your surname, should I be called Kotomine Shirou...?"

The Battle Begins

Mt. Ryudou was like a boiling cauldron. Countless lumps of Black Mud transformed into dolls resembling Irisviel, letting out agonized screams as they continuously gathered. From afar, Mt. Ryudou looked like some indescribable monster, with hundreds of mud doll tentacles thrusting into the sky, twisting as they pointed toward the heavens.

One tentacle after another soon broke through Gilgamesh's interception and clung to the Hanging Gardens. The mud dolls then climbed onto the Hanging Gardens one after another, shrieking piercingly as they charged toward the Palace Hall at its center.

Rin Tohsaka sat on the steps. She was simply too exhausted. The massive amount of fighting today had overloaded her immature Magic Circuits several times. If someone could see through her body at that moment, they would discover tiny cracks had already appeared in her Magic Circuits.

Facing the mud dolls that had broken into the garden, Rin calmly snapped her fingers from where she sat on the steps. Then, scorching heat swept in. Hundreds of Witch-King Slayers roared into existence amid the garden that had previously been as beautiful as a myth. Yet with the appearance of those hundreds of Witch-King Slayers, the garden now resembled hell. The ground melted, the pillars melted, everything visible to the naked eye melted, and even the air began to warp.

Rin covered her mouth and nose, doing her best to keep the air from scorching her. After taking one last look at the hell before her, she stood and entered the Palace Hall. Soon after entering, Semiramis operated a Teleportation Array and transferred her to the room deep within the palace where Caster was.

In the garden, the mud dolls rushed forward one after another in an attempt to storm the Palace Hall, yet they could not advance a single step against the hundreds of endlessly regenerating Witch-King Slayers.

Although the Witch-King Slayers were nowhere near as massive as when Rin Tohsaka supported them with mana, the extremely high-quality gems provided by Gilgamesh still allowed them to stand over two meters tall. Their terrifying heat exceeded two thousand degrees.

The Evil Saintess incarnated by Angra Mainyu had also hidden among the mud dolls that had climbed onto the Hanging Gardens. She had originally intended to seize an opportunity to ambush and devour the Servants, but now she had no choice but to reveal herself and deal with these Witch-King Slayers. The Evil Saintess knew she did not have much time. Once the Sealing Ritual was complete, who knew how many years it would be before she had another chance to escape.

The Evil Saintess wore a sinister smile and extended her hand. Dozens of black mud threads formed from mana appeared before her.

"Remains, I grant you life."

The black mud threads twisted and wove together, forming a gigantic Hydra. Then, the nearby mud dolls began to shatter and revert into Black Mud, filling the enormous Hydra woven from those threads. Filled with Black Mud, the Hydra raised its nine massive heads and unleashed an earth-shaking roar.

The Hydra crushed everything in its path and entered the garden. Opening its bloody maws, it took turns spewing black sludge at the Witch-King Slayers in the garden.

The Witch-King Slayers charged at the enormous creature one after another, roaring as they clambered onto the Hydra's body and raised their enormous flaming crosses, attempting to destroy it.

The Hydra refused to be outdone. As it absorbed the surrounding mud dolls to repair itself, its nine heads took turns biting at the Witch-King Slayers clinging to its body. At the same time, it continuously sprayed black sludge at the Witch-King Slayers in the distance. As the two immortal summons engaged in a mad slaughter, more and more Witch-King Slayers were drawn toward the Hydra. After some time, most of the leaderless Witch-King Slayers had been dragged into battle with the Hydra, and the path to the Palace Hall was opened.

The Evil Saintess stepped onto the palace stairs and looked into the dim interior.

"Hehehe, Rin Tohsaka, I'm here!"

As mud dolls entered the palace corridors, Semiramis decisively activated the palace's internal Defensive Spells. Thousands of Dragon Tooth Soldiers, along with poisonous Purple Mist, filled every corridor of the Palace Hall.

The Evil Saintess revealed a mocking smile.

"You still intend to resist at this point?"

She then extended her hand. As a magic circle appeared before her, a pitch-black Mage Cannon cleared every Dragon Tooth Soldier from the corridor.

"Rin Tohsaka, I know you can hear me. Aren't you going to meet me? Or are you afraid? Didn't you call yourself the greatest mastermind of this Holy Grail War? Hahahahaha!"

Just as the Evil Saintess laughed wantonly, Rin Tohsaka's voice echoed throughout the palace.

"Angra Mainyu, your laugh is awful. I'll be waiting for you in the Palace Hall. That's all."

Within the great hall, Rin Tohsaka wore Caster's Golden Fleece to ease the damage to her Magic Circuits. She sat alone upon the throne, resting her chin on her hand as she silently watched the entrance.

Before long, the Evil Saintess slowly entered the hall. Looking at Rin Tohsaka, who had remained alone inside, she mocked her.

"Hahaha, Rin Tohsaka, have you given up? Do you naively think you can stop me alone? Where are your Servants? Aren't you going to call them out?"

"Ah, no need to rush. I don't want to fight half a Magician. I'll call them over shortly."

The Evil Saintess suddenly seemed to realize something and hurriedly raised her hand. A pitch-black Magic Bullet instantly struck the throne, and the dust from the massive explosion temporarily obscured her vision.

When the smoke cleared, the first thing to appear before the Evil Saintess was a massive petal-like Noble Phantasm: Seven Heavenly Rings. Gilgamesh stood behind Seven Heavenly Rings, glaring furiously at the Evil Saintess.

"Mongrel, I've finally caught you!"

"Angra Mainyu, surprised? Didn't expect that, did you? Did you think I was an idiot? Other than Gilgamesh, any other Servant would probably be contaminated by All the World's Evil the instant you touched them."

"Damn it, Rin Tohsaka. As long as I kill you... yes, as long as I kill you, it'll be the same!"

The Evil Saintess let out a savage howl. Then dozens of magic circles appeared behind her. Drawing upon the power of Heaven's Feel, Mage Cannons of terrifying magical rank began firing volleys at Rin Tohsaka.

"Mongrel, I am your opponent."

Gilgamesh also unfurled dozens of golden ripples, constantly launching high-ranking Noble Phantasms to clash head-on with the Mage Cannons.

With the Golden Fleece's effect, Rin Tohsaka had recovered more than half her strength. She nimbly cast Reinforcement Magecraft, flipped off the throne, and swiftly dodged behind it.

Listening to the endless roar in her ears and the Palace Hall trembling without stop, Rin crouched behind the throne with her head in her arms, waiting for Semiramis to act.

Beneath the palace, Semiramis yawned boredly as she watched Caster conduct the ritual. Suddenly, the palace above her began to shake. Semiramis smiled sweetly, nodded toward Caster in the midst of the ritual, and vanished into the air.

The End!

Within the great hall, the battle continued.

Unable to break through after repeated attacks, the Evil Saintess kept trying to summon mud dolls and launch attacks against both Gilgamesh and Rin Tohsaka.

Gilgamesh, unusually, held Durandal in his hand. He used superb martial skill to slay mud dolls while simultaneously employing Gate of Babylon to trade blasts with the Evil Saintess.

Facing the incoming mud dolls, Rin Tohsaka could only keep Reinforcement Magecraft active and carefully evade the attacks of the mud dolls formed from All the World's Evil's Black Mud.

"Master, I am ready. Shall we begin?"

Hearing Semiramis's voice through their contract, Rin nearly got hit by a mud doll. She hurriedly rolled away and barely avoided it.

"Semiramis, please. The moment you hear me call Gilgamesh's name, act immediately!"

After rolling again to dodge a mud doll's attack, Rin braced herself against the wall and quickly rose. The instant she steadied herself, she shouted at Gilgamesh.

"Gilgamesh, now!"

The moment Rin called Gilgamesh's name, Semiramis suddenly appeared behind the Evil Saintess, while Gilgamesh's Chains of Heaven bound the Evil Saintess at the same time.

Then Semiramis, holding the Jewel Sword, drove it deeply into the Evil Saintess's back. At the same time, Gilgamesh fired another Jewel Sword, piercing through the Evil Saintess's heart from the front.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

A piercing scream erupted from the Evil Saintess's mouth as she was struck.

Semiramis released the Jewel Sword in her hand and lightly stepped back several paces.

"My apologies, but perhaps you forgot that I, too, am an Assassin. Now then, Angra Mainyu, I think you should understand what an Assassin is."

Struck by two Jewel Swords at once, the Evil Saintess could no longer make a sound. The instant she was pierced, this body's connection to the Holy Grail was severed. With her link to the Holy Grail cut off, the Winter Saintess's Soul Fragment, already only a Soul Fragment, lost the Holy Grail's support, and Heaven's Feel vanished.

The contamination through which Angra Mainyu controlled the Winter Saintess's Soul Fragment was severed as well. Her black priestly robes began turning white, and the Winter Saintess, dressed in Heavenly Robes, revealed her true appearance.

Rin watched the mud dolls around her revert into Black Mud after losing Heaven's Feel's support. Carefully avoiding the Black Mud flowing across the ground, she came to the Winter Saintess's side. She sighed and shook her head, then extended a hand over the Winter Saintess lying on the ground. Mana began to flow, and as a magic circle appeared, a Soul Fragment radiating pure white light appeared in Rin's hand.

As the Soul Fragment was removed, the Heavenly Robes on the Winter Saintess's body disappeared. Irisviel's corpse, already dead, lay upon the cold floor.

Gilgamesh looked at the thoughtful Rin and asked with interest,

"Girl, are you interested in Heaven's Feel?"

Rin looked at the Soul Fragment in her hand and shook her head.

"As a Magus, I'm afraid no one can ignore the allure of True Magic. But I have my own path, and besides, it's impossible to analyze Heaven's Feel from just a Soul Fragment. I only wanted that set of Heavenly Robes. It would definitely look good on Sakura."

"Tch, how dull. Since everything has been resolved, it is time for this King to return to the Throne of Heroes, girl..."

"Wait, there's one more thing. I promised to help you recover the Holy Grail. I don't want to break my word."

Gilgamesh froze. He had always understood that this girl had been using him. If he had not acted on a whim and used Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, she would already be a thoroughly cold corpse. Yet after seeing the future, Gilgamesh had willingly allowed this girl to use him.

"Then this King will remain a little longer and wait for you to return the Holy Grail."

Rin looked at Gilgamesh, smiled, turned around, and shouted.

"Begin, Caster."

The entire Hanging Gardens began to tremble as its altitude steadily fell. With the Sealing Array outside the gardens expanding to its limit, the Hanging Gardens began to descend.

On Mt. Ryudou, Angra Mainyu raised his head and watched the ever-enlarging underside of the Hanging Gardens. He stared hatefully at the descending Hanging Gardens and viciously cursed,

"Rin Tohsaka, you will pay the price for this. Your family will be torn apart. Your relatives and friends will die before your eyes one by one. Rin Tohsaka, aaaaaah..."

As the Hanging Gardens continued to descend, a massive wall of air formed between Mt. Ryudou and the bottom of the Hanging Gardens. Angra Mainyu was pressed to the ground by the enormous wind pressure, howling without stop as he tried to rise.

With a boom, Mt. Ryudou shattered. The Hanging Gardens embedded itself directly where Mt. Ryudou had once stood. The seal contracted, and the Black Mud was swept back by the seal. Everything was absorbed into the hall where Caster had previously conducted the sealing.

In the Palace Hall of the Hanging Gardens, the tremors ceased. Rin nodded at Semiramis, who was supporting her.

"Thank you, Semiramis."

Then she spoke to Caster behind her.

"Caster, please summon the Holy Grail."

Caster slowly walked to Irisviel's side and used magecraft to remove the Lesser Grail from Irisviel's body, handing it to Rin. Then she exchanged smiles with Semiramis.

"Goodbye, Master. Thank you for always believing in me..."

"Goodbye, Master. I still believe that you are the reincarnation of the goddess Ishtar..."

Although Rin had long prepared herself for this moment, when the two Servants who had accompanied her these past few days vanished, she still felt indescribably miserable. She silently turned away and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes where Gilgamesh could not see them, then took a deep breath and steadied herself.

Holding the Holy Grail, which had now revealed its true form, she slowly walked before Gilgamesh. She stared blankly at the Holy Grail in her hands and murmured,

"Caster, Semiramis, we will definitely meet again."

Then Rin held the Holy Grail out before Gilgamesh.

"Here, Gilgamesh. I fulfilled our promise. Take it."

Gilgamesh said nothing. He merely accepted the Holy Grail and carefully examined it, then casually tossed it back into Rin's arms. Turning away, he waved his hand.

"I grant the Holy Grail to you, girl. We shall meet again in ten years."

As Gilgamesh, too, vanished from the world, Rin sadly hugged the Holy Grail and sat alone upon the throne. Golden Flash, you bastard... Well, it's not like I hated you that much. Why didn't you stay behind like in the original story? Rin began recalling the days she had spent with the Servants.

A Transaction

With the sealing complete, the flowing Black Mud disappeared, and Fuyuki City welcomed peace once more.

Once everything had settled down, Kiritsugu Emiya cautiously arrived at the ruins of the Hanging Gardens. He entered the palace and reached the great hall. Ignoring Irisviel's corpse on the ground, Kiritsugu Emiya raised the gun loaded with Origin Bullets and aimed it at Rin, who was sitting on the throne in a daze.
