Chapter 189
[Shirou Emiya] looked at the Shirou Emiya in front of him and finally nodded.
Nothing is more convincing than "oneself".
Compared to that red and this black.
He preferred the one in front of him.
I haven't given up on my dreams.
They were face to face.
It's like looking in a mirror.
PS: In Unlimited Blade Works, Gilgamesh fought with all his might, dragging things out until now. A normal match wouldn't have been enough for Gilgamesh to last this long; it's mainly because playing the game for two days straight stimulated his brain and restored some of his intelligence.
Chapter 0108 Can it be saved?
Gilgamesh: "?"
[Archer: "Hey, isn't this the King of Heroes? How come he's a loot box again?"]
Gilgamesh: "Oh no, Faker, all you do is sneak attacks, you're so despicable!"
[Archer: "Haha, am I despicable? I'm laughing."]
Waver: "I really can't understand what's going on here. So much has happened in such a short time, I almost couldn't comprehend it... Are they going to use the Holy Grail to resurrect the dead?"
[Megumin: "Can you do it?"]
[Rin Tohsaka: "The Holy Grail is said to be an omnipotent wish-granting machine, but in the end it's just a device that collects magical energy. No matter what, it's too difficult to revive 30,000 people."]
Gilgamesh: "The magic power is sufficient. My Uruk Cup can hold far more wishes than the Holy Grail made by you bunch of lowly Magecraft."
Semiramis: "It's quite impressive that Magecraft from a small town could make something like this."
[Touko Aozaki: "The problem isn't that, it's whether this [Holy Grail] can be used to make a normal wish."]
[Marcille: "As a device for generating wishes, the Holy Grail's mechanism should be somewhat similar to the [Prayer Technique]. The Prayer Technique is the strongest spell for warlocks and mages; as long as you speak your wish, you can change reality. However, this spell still has limitations; the more vague your wish, the higher the probability of failure."]
[Marcille: "The process of resurrecting 30,000 people is too vague. We don't know how they were resurrected, or what method was used to recreate it. Because of the Holy Grail and the Black Mud within it, this specific magical power will achieve its effect in a direction leaning towards evil."]
[Illya: "That's right. A corrupted Holy Grail cannot be used for normal wishes, and Magecraft cannot resurrect the dead; it must be True Magic. The resurrection process must be skipped, and this skipped process is where the internal [evil] can tamper with things."]
Inside the cave.
Kazuma Satou crouched down and opened the box containing Gilgamesh.
What appears inside are all four-panel grids?
The light points converged and simultaneously turned golden, all representing the same thing.
[Item: Gate of Babylon (Gate of Babylon Portal)]
[Type: Door/Blind Box]
[Grade: Gold (Excellent)]
[Description: "This is what Gilgamesh left behind in his resentment after his utter defeat. He fought with all his might but was wantonly toyed with by Shirou Emiya. He even made him use EA, repeatedly interrupting and mocking him while he was casting it."]
However, Gilgamesh also understood that the other party's goal was to extract more Noble Phantasm from him in order to prepare for the battle against the demon capable of killing 30,000 with a single blow. Therefore, he left behind something that could support his friend.
[Effect: [Gateway to the Golden City EX], opening this item grants a random Noble Phantasm.]
[Note 1: The Noble Phantasm and items in "Gate of Babylon" cover an incredibly vast variety. The items given may be extremely rare and valuable top-tier Noble Phantasm, or they may be low-value items with numerous negative effects.]
[Note 2: "I've left the door unlocked to you, Kazuma! Remember to avenge me, damn it!"]
—Mr. Gil in the arcade.
"Hahaha."
Kazuma Satou burst out laughing. "Gil, you've finally met your match! This is hilarious!"
"Um?"
The two "Shirou Emiya" beside him were looking at him.
From the player Shirou's perspective, it's just a normal process of opening boxes and chests.
However, in the eyes of the NPC [Shirou], Kazuma Satou made a few lewd gestures towards the air and then started grinning foolishly.
"This person... is he sick in the head?"
[Shirou Emiya] thought to himself.
"Don't worry, it'll be ready soon. Let me make some preparations. We should be able to get some useful items."
Kazuma Satou opened the box containing Kirei Kotomine. Inside was a large cross with 24 compartments.
It took a while for Ningzhu to emerge.
It is a cross.
[Props: Passion of the Saint / Empty True Cross]
[Type: Saint's Relic/ Noble Phantasm]
[Rank: Red (Perfect)]
[Specifications: 24 compartments]
[Description: "This is the most fundamental relic of the Church, long lost in history. A real saint once hung upside down on it."]
[Effect: [The Sacrifice of the Holy Child EX], Once there was a beloved son of the Father, who was crucified to redeem humanity from sin and death. He died for humanity, willingly suffering all hardships to atone for their sins; he is a true saint.]
[Livestream Room]
Gendo Ikari: "It's actually a sacred object belonging to the victims?"
Lelouch: "Atonement, redemption... I see, I understand now."
[Rin Tohsaka: "How could this thing have been opened from the fake priest's box? I don't understand."]
[Kirei Kotomine: "Amen. (A devout prayer)"]
Ada (Black Lagoon): "So God's love... can indeed cover sinners?"
[Blue Moon: "It's not about covering up sinners, but about redemption for everyone."]
[Yuko Yoshida: "W-w-w... Is it really okay to take this out? It's so precious, and what's the point of this description... I don't understand it at all."]
[Momo Chiyoda: "Hmm, it's okay, I don't understand either."]
Lilith: "We'll find out as we keep watching; it's probably related to that red-haired boy."
"Um?"
Kazuma Satou blinked; the thing he had found seemed to be something extraordinary.
He beckoned to Shirou Emiya:
"My backpack is full, can you pack this for me?"
Shirou Emiya stepped forward and was also taken aback when he saw what he had opened from the [Kirei Kotomine] bag.
"If it's about resurrection, shouldn't it be the Holy Grail? It's in your hands?"
The white-haired Shirou Emiya had gained knowledge and experience from two versions of himself from different worlds. He calmed down and began to analyze.
"The Holy Grail here alone is not enough; the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is full of this kind of contaminant."
He looked at the Black Mud under his feet. "Making a wish with this stuff will only cause a bigger disaster, so I won't let you use it."
"Give it a try."
Kazuma Satou looked at the Evil Holy Grail in his backpack.
"If there really is a problem, then we'll find a way to solve it."
Shirou Emiya glanced at him sideways:
"Is this why you caused this level of disaster?"
Well... I guess so.
Kazuma Satou scratched his forehead.
"Give it a try."
Shirou Emiya walked over and extended his palm:
"I used to always tell myself to look forward, but what if the tragedy happened in the past? Even if the same tragedy is resolved later and the people in the future get justice, what about the people in the past?"
He said firmly to himself:
"Since we are Hero of Justice, let's save everyone, starting from here, starting from this tragedy."
"You are even more greedy than I imagined."
The voice of "Archer" rang out, and a color mixed with another hue appeared on Shirou Emiya's face:
"You're not just trying to save the people of today, nor the people of the future, but trying to save the past as well? That's incredibly stupid."
"Shirou Emiya, there is more than one hell ahead of you; your life will only be a tragedy."
"So what?"
The red-haired boy murmured, he was undergoing a spiritual transformation:
"When problems arise, we should solve them. If we hesitate, even the ideal of Hero of Justice will perish. At the very least, we should spread this ideal."
"Then you'll only cause the next tragedy! You idiot!"
[Archer] launched into a tirade of abuse:
"Don't you understand now that I look like this? I am the ultimate destination for your ideals! In the end, all that's left is desolation!"
"This is your 'last' time, but I won't be. I won't regret it, and I can do it."
Shirou Emiya laughed:
"You can't save everything, but I can. I want to gain the power to save everything in this game."
"I want to save the present, I want to save the future, I want to save the past, I want to lift everyone up from this world, even if the price is myself."
"You..."
[Archer] stared wide-eyed at the confident and arrogant young man before him. Looking at Shirou Emiya's unrestrained demeanor, he felt immense envy, but also a pang of jealousy.
"You... you're really crazy, a madman talking nonsense."
"So what?"
Shirou Emiya said, "Madness can't save everything, so why don't you just go mad?"
He should have realized long ago that the normal approach wouldn't make him Hero of Justice.
If doing things the right way could make Hero of Justice, then everyone would be Hero of Justice. It's precisely because the methods are wrong that this hasn't happened.
The red-haired boy on the other end suddenly spoke, his voice reverting to that of a young boy:
"That's great."
Shirou Emiya asked:
Where are the others?
The red-haired youth Projection several Greatsword and tossed them above the Black Mud.
"He was suppressing that black guy, and it was because of him that I was able to regain control of my body."
Isn't this just being arrogant?
Kazuma Satou frowned slightly. How could the [Red P] have such an attribute?
But then I remembered that when they were helping Illya get home, P-brother also lent a hand.
His brow unfurrowed, and he seemed somewhat relieved.
Honestly, this game has an incredibly high degree of freedom. One game you were a teammate NPC, and the next you're an enemy.
One game you were an enemy NPC, the next game you might become a friend or ally.
The characters do not act according to a template; any tiny detail can have a butterfly effect, causing the whole thing to develop in a completely different direction.
Fuyuki Grand Stage is truly a magical place.
