Peeling Back the Romantic Epic's Outer Layer, All That Remains is Cannibalism (Second Update)
Yao Guang-Chaldea Headquarters, Father Kotomine Kirei looked at Emiya Kiritsugu in the Light Screen video, his eyes were very hot, and his face was full of joyful and interested smiles. He seemed not to care at all about the unfortunate experience of the Kotomine Family in the Light Screen video.
This Emiya Kiritsugu, this man, is so interesting!
Next to him, Agent Emiya Kiritsugu was silent. He no longer knew how to evaluate his behavior. Although it was very despicable and the methods were a bit crazy, in terms of war, it seemed understandable to use some methods in order to achieve final victory.
Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu chose silence.
Irisviel, on the other hand, had a stiff expression. After a while, he weakly said to her husband, "Kiritsugu Emiya, I'm not blaming you, but I think we all worked together to eliminate the evil monster tonight. Everyone thinks that the battle is over tonight and they are preparing to decide the winner in the future. It seems inappropriate that you suddenly launched such an attack..."
Facing his wife's words, Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent for a while, then slowly said, "Perhaps, this is the real Holy Grail War."
The sound was not loud, but many people at the scene heard it, and it instantly made many people wake up.
Yes.
This is war.
Even if it bears the name Holy Grail, even if many legendary figures appear, making this Holy Grail War more dramatic and epic romance, it cannot conceal the fact that this is a 'war'.
Ordinary people don't know what wars in human history are like. Are people here still unclear?
To be honest, compared with the various wars that occurred between countries in history, Emiya Kiritsugu's methods are nothing at all, and can even be said to pale into insignificance.
Because those large-scale wars can really lower the bottom line of human beings infinitely, and they are things that can directly link human nature with despicability, ugliness and madness.
Thinking of this, someone said with great sympathy, "That's it, Kayneth is really miserable, and very unlucky. He was about to quit Holy Grail War, but he was shot in the safe area by Emiya Kiritsugu who was very unruly and even blew up the safe area. I don't know what he has become now."
Another voice sounded, "No, this is because Emiya Kiritsugu does not know the specific situation. Moreover, although the 'I' inside wants to withdraw from Holy Grail War, it also wants to hand over Lancer Diarmuid to others. It is equivalent to a country that wants to withdraw from the war during a normal war, but before withdrawing, it has to give all its equipment, firepower and even its army to one party in the war."
"Such behavior is responsible for the history of human wars. Once it is discovered by a country that does not benefit but benefits the enemy, it will inevitably launch a fatal raid on the country that wants to withdraw from the war to prevent its enemies from receiving huge benefits."
"So, even if Emiya Kiritsugu knows that Kayneth wants to quit Holy Grail War, this man will definitely take action against Kayneth, and he has a completely 'legitimate' reason. After all, war is not a game, war kills people!"
After hearing these words, everyone at the scene looked over in surprise, because the person who said these words was none other than Professor Kayneth, who was actually speaking for the person who killed 'himself'.
The gymnastics coach Diarmuid not far away sighed with emotion, "As expected of Professor Kayneth, his broad-mindedness and way of thinking are really admirable in terms of the overall situation. However, the 'I' in the image of Light Screen is uncomfortable. The lord who is determined to protect was killed in front of him. I am afraid that the noble knight will fall into madness..."
Next to him, his fiancée also looked worried, worried about the situation of Diarmuid in the Light Screen image.
Professor Waver sighed, and he finally understood. If the confrontation between Heroic Spirit is a romantic poem full of epic and mythical colors, and a heroic story full of storytelling, then the battle between Master is undoubtedly the cruel truth hidden under the appearance of that romantic poem.
Just like every heroic story, there are actually countless tragic lives of passers-by, A, B, C and D, as footnotes.
When you peel off the glamorous exterior and look directly at the tragic experiences of passers-by, you will realize that the so-called heroic epics are just stories of cannibalism.
For a moment, Professor Waver even thought of the Flame Kingdom, the famous writer named Zhou Shuren. The story he wrote is undoubtedly the greatest comment on Holy Grail War.
Although there was no deliberate performance tonight, and both Master and Heroic Spirit tried their best to save those innocent people, in fact many people were injured or even died.
Just because those were just "passers-by" and not the main characters of Holy Grail War, and the story of Heroic Spirit had entered the high dynasty stage before, so they were all inadvertently ignored.
Looking back now, no matter how many rules there are in this Holy Grail War, even if there are various restrictions on the contestants, innocent ordinary people are still implicated, and they have nothing to do with Holy Grail War, but they are affected because of the behavior of the Holy Grail War contestants.
Although it may not seem like much, if you focus on each of them and consider that these are people who really existed, you will find that just like a grain of sand in history is a huge mountain to ordinary people, the families of those who were killed have endured huge pain that will be difficult to recover from in their lifetime.
"Holy Grail War... It's really something that people don't like at all..."
Shaking his head, Professor Waver finally made this evaluation.
Heavenly King International High School Junior High School, Illya and Miyu Emiya looked very embarrassed, because in this class of primary school students, no one spoke for Emiya Kiritsugu in the video of Light Screen. They simply felt that the other party was too much, too despicable, and was completely an evil villain who must be defeated by Kamen Rider.
Elementary school students have such a pure view of good and evil, and do not think too much about the profound meaning and meaning behind it, so they simply think that Emiya Kiritsugu in the Light Screen video is a villain, so that everyone in the class is condemning this man and complaining about Kayneth.
Even the supporters of King of Heroes and the deceased of Conqueror King temporarily united, and the entire class was left with only the condemnation of Emiya Kiritsugu.
This makes Illya, the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu, very embarrassed, and also makes Miyu Emiya, a good boy from a relative's family, very embarrassed - after all, even if the two of them think that Emiya Kiritsugu in Light Screen's video really deserves to die, they can't express their thoughts out loud because the other person is their father/elder!
Senior Mystery Domain, Matou Zouken laughed happily, "Hahaha~ interesting, so interesting~ That's why I said that humans are the most interesting creatures in the world!"
"The man named Emiya Kiritsugu is so suitable to be blessed by Mystery. Such a man is a rare talent for us, and he should become one of us."
He really admires Emiya Kiritsugu in the Light Screen video, and is even ready to find Emiya Kiritsugu in the real world. If the Emiya Kiritsugu in the real world is as interesting as the one in the Light Screen video, he must let the other person receive the 'blessing' of Mystery.
At the same time, the rest of the real world is full of name-calling and bickering, and of course rational discussion is indispensable.
All kinds of sounds like this have appeared because of this wave of super-expansion.
But there is no doubt that the true cruelty and unpredictable side of Holy Grail War has been mercilessly shown by Emiya Kiritsugu's own actions.
No one can predict what story will happen next.
The big explosion of Light Screen's image and Kotomine Church quickly made Holy Grail War's other Master and Servant known.
At the same time, there are also ordinary people in Fuyuki City who know that because Tohsaka Tokiomi has stopped his group hypnosis, the people in the entire city have returned to themselves.
When a large number of people who were affected by the flesh monster incident woke up, they were shocked to find that they were outside and there were other people around them.
Some of them were injured, and some were even dead.
This directly caused commotion and panic. In addition, many places at the Mion River were damaged due to the fighting, so fire engines, ambulances and police cars were all hooting and rushing over there.
As a result, now one wave has not subsided, another wave has arisen, and Kotomine Church exploded again. The impact and sound of the explosion can be heard and felt by most of the city, and the flames of the explosion can be clearly seen by the entire city.
Suddenly, the whole city fell into a huge panic. Many people's heads were blown. The alarm phone was almost paralyzed. Fuyuki City fell directly into chaos. People who were sleeping woke up one after another, and the city that had fallen into a deep sleep came to life again.
The scene of chaos and fear basically directly showed the attitude of ordinary people affected by Holy Grail War, which made many people in the real world feel heavy.
Especially the top officials of various countries frowned deeply, deeply aware of how destructive the extraordinary power can be to this society. If it is not controlled well, it will even bring disasters and chaos comparable to what happened to Mystery.
Although the extraordinary beings that have appeared now are all controlled by Yao Guang-Chaldea, and under the correct arrangement and guidance, they contribute positive power to human civilization and society.
However, no one can be sure that new extraordinary beings will not emerge among the people.
If there are extraordinary beings under unofficial control, then uncontrollable chaos and turmoil will be inevitable.
We must find ways to prevent it from happening!
Otherwise, once a situation similar to that in the Light Screen image occurs, the resulting chaos and turmoil will never be limited to that in the Light Screen image.
Because chaos and turmoil are the best soil for breeding Mystery things!
Why do scary high-level Mystery rarely appear in those areas that are orderly and stable, while various terrifying Mystery often appear in those turbulent areas?
Everything is caused by chaos and turmoil, which is what Mystery likes most.
Second update. That's it for today's update. I'm going to rest and take care of myself. I'll get up and write again during the day tomorrow.
