Chapter 96

A mushroom cloud instantly rose from the spot, engulfing everything in its path.

A crater tens of meters deep and thousands of meters in diameter appeared in the earth.

The intensely hot magical energy erupted, completely melting the ground into liquid magma.

Nuclear explosion!!!

Under the suffocating gaze of everyone.

The dazzling light finally faded slowly, revealing two figures.

The young Emiya stood unharmed in the same spot.

Meanwhile, Zachary's helmet began to crumble little by little, and he was heading towards death.

He looked into the boy's eyes. "Julian, I'm counting on you."

He fell heavily to the ground, his entire body turning into a puppet.

Yes, he died long ago.

The man who fought Emiya just now was merely a puppet created by his son Julian using [Displacement Magecraft]!

Unstoppable!

[Wow, seven participants in the Holy Grail War, and Emiya took down six of them all by himself? I feel like I'm dreaming?]

Is it that Giant Hero Emiya is too strong, or are these people too weak?

[Giant Hero Emiya, you're truly Nuclear Sword Immortal! That sword strike was a nuclear bomb!]

[Holy crap, Nuclear Sword Immortal, amazing!]

After defeating the six obstacles in your path.

Emiya arrived at the cave where his sister was hidden, and looked at his Dear Friend before him. "Julian, give Miyu back to me!"

"Heh, even if that's considered a betrayal of all humanity?"

Julian coldly sneered, "The entire planet is about to perish. The end of Steel Earth is coming, and everyone will die!"

"Emiya, you're actually willing to betray the entire world for the sake of a mere sister, and watch billions of people be dragged down with you?"

"This is not funny at all! You are clearly the worst Humanity's Evil!"

The Enzwarth Family's millennia-long aspiration is to ensure the continuation of humanity's future.

Now, he has obtained the Holy Grail, which can grant any wish, and will surely bring a future to humanity.

But this guy insisted on destroying this only hope with his own hands!

"Kill one person to save many more...I know someone who would do the same," Emiya sighed softly.

That man, too, wanted to use Miyu to save the world.

But now, that man is dead.

He died on the road to his ideals.

"Julian, you are actually another possibility of me, another side of me."

Emiya looked at his former Dear Friend and suddenly asked, "Do you really understand the Sakutsuki Family that Miyu belongs to?"

"Don't try to get close to me like that, it's disgusting!"

Julian's expression grew increasingly cold.

This guy is actually willing to sacrifice the whole world for one person, he's truly despicable!

No! You don't know!

Emiya shook his head. "The Sakutsuki Family has monopolized the Divine Child who can grant any wish for over four hundred years! But do you know what the wishes of all the Sakumoku clan members have been from the first head of the family to the present?"

"What?"

Julian frowned as he looked at the other person.

Divine Child that it's impossible for anyone to resist greed.

But,

That family has always maintained a semi-secluded state, never using it to rise to prominence and become one of the world's top families.

That's quite strange!

"It's very simple. That family has made the same wish for generations, and that wish is—"

Emiya looked at the other person and said in a tone full of admiration, "I hope the child can grow up healthy and happy!"

At this moment.

The countless audience members who had been listening quietly were suddenly struck by a profound and moving experience.

[Instantly brought to tears! This is the boundless love and sacrifice of parents!]

[Having Divine Child with the power to grant any wish, yet never once praying for wealth, power, or strength... This... I truly don't know what to say!]

[My God, what a family! For four hundred years, not a single person in this family has ever selfishly made a wish!]

[Wealth and luxury were within their grasp, yet they unhesitatingly wished for their child to grow up healthy! Unbelievable!]

"I hope my child can grow up healthy and happy!"

A single sentence, so simple it's almost painful to recall.

However, for the Sakutsuki Family, it was as difficult as giving up mountains of gold and silver, wealth and honor, immortality and everything else!

You can pray to the Divine Child for everything, but the Sakutsuki Family hasn't done so even once!

How exactly did this family manage to do that?

Everyone was instantly and deeply shocked, completely unable to believe it.

A power no less significant than the Holy Grail --

Miracle!

Upon hearing these words, Julian, who had been furious and hostile towards him, suddenly froze in place.

After finishing his story, Emiya walked past him without hesitation. "If parents' wish for their children to grow up healthy is sinful, then I am willing to be evil!"

Inside the cave.

As Emiya spoke, he stepped past his former Dear Friend.

"If parents' wish for their children to grow up healthy is sinful, then I am willing to be sinful!"

This statement clearly indicates that he is willing to abandon his ideals as a "Justice Partner" in order to reach the future he desires!

Behind him.

Julian stood frozen in place, his previously cold and hostile expression suddenly turning into one of bewilderment and disbelief.

He didn't stop Emiya at all, but simply sighed softly, "It's truly a pipe dream to expect humans to remain rational!"

"No one can remain rational forever; only machines can. Besides, someone once said the same thing to you, and that person died while pursuing their ideals."

Emiya paused slightly, then retorted without turning his head.

That man also wanted to use Miyu to realize his wish of saving the world.

That time and that moment, just like this moment.

The two look so alike?

"I could have stopped it completely, but that could have destroyed humanity's last hope."

Julian's expression grew increasingly melancholy. "Generations of the Enzworth have been preparing for this ideal for a thousand years, and it is to continue into an even longer future. To remain rational forever is indeed too much to ask."

"Therefore, I give up trying to stop you, and choose another future for humanity."

An immense amount of magical power gathered within him.

Only he in the entire Enzwarth Family can truly create or destroy [Class Card], which are Fantasy Summon Card that can borrow the power of Heroic Spirit.

By using this card to summon, the user can be imbued with the power of the relevant Heroic Spirit, thus transforming into a Heroic Spirit who transcends mortals.

Emiya stopped abruptly, turned to look at the other person, and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

After previously breaking through the Holy Grail War.

The Fantasy Summon Card had long since expired, and the vast future he had borrowed had all vanished from him.

In other words, when facing the King of Heroes, he will have to rely entirely on himself.

Now, this Dear Friend seems to want to restore the Fantasy Summon Card for him once again, at the cost of sacrificing his own essence!

"Ha ha, remember me, and all members of the Enzwarth Family. We may not live to see the day the truth is proven, but if humanity continues for generations to come, everyone will shed tears at our tombstones!"

Julian burst into laughter, pouring all his boundless magic into the card before him. "This planet called Earth will be my eternal monument!"

As a member of the Enzwarth Family, this is the only Magecraft he knows.

"You bastard Humanity's Evil, take my last bit of magic and go reach the future you so-called seek!"

Julian radiated a dazzling Magecraft light.

All the immense magical power converged onto the Fantasy Summon Card.

This card landed lightly in front of my former Dear Friend.

Julian, who originally wanted to give everything for humanity, saw in the other person the infinite possibilities for humanity's future.

This person seems to represent the future!

I can't understand it.

It's as if, as long as the other exists, humanity still has hope.

A Nameless Heroic Spirit did not exist in Human History, yet brought hope to humanity!

Therefore, Julian decided to gamble everything.

Seize the future!

"Julian!"

Emiya reached out and grabbed the Dream Card, gave the other person a deep look, and walked away without looking back. "Then, as you wish!"

Countless viewers felt a mix of emotions.

[As expected of Giant Hero Emiya, even his enemies have been moved by him! This must be EX-rank charm, right?]

[Sigh, Julian and that man are so alike, so very alike; both are searching for humanity's future in their own ways!]

[The man who chose to protect the world is dead, the man who chose to continue the race has given up, and now Giant Hero Emiya remains, choosing to pray for the happiness of the only one left!]

[Giant Hero Emiya, charge!]

Inside the room.

While watching the video, Ilya looked at her best friend with a strange expression. "Emiya made such a huge sacrifice for you!"

He clearly wanted to be Justice Partner, but he gave up the whole world to save Miyu!

"How could I have forgotten all of that?"

Miyu's little face was full of pain and struggle.

It was clearly the other person who brought her the future, allowing her to enjoy this kind of life.
