I Created the Holy Grail War, Shocking the World Chapter 26

Isayama Yomina flew into a rage, drawing the Divine Blade Lion King and slashing at the Sky Screen.

"Hwaaa!"

A breathtaking blade aura, like a crimson lotus, shot towards the sky, directly at the Sky Screen.

There was no follow-up spiritual power, and it quickly dissipated.

It also helped her vent some of her anger.

In the town of Hori, at the shrine.

The Divine Blade hummed as it was stuck in the stone platform, and a green-haired loli ghost flew out of Muramasa, stomping her foot in annoyance.

"It's truly a pearl cast before swine, helping the wicked, for Berserker to fall into the hands of such a person!"

In Tokyo, the "Lord of Specters and Ghouls," the great yokai Nurarihyon, frowned deeply.

"What a naturally wicked Mage brat."

"It's a shame we're in different worlds, otherwise, I would have personally..."

Amidst the indignant outcry of the people.

The Sky Screen slowly pulled back the lens, revealing the true face of the brutal King of Purge.

["Berserker is still more useful..."]

[At the edge of a pool of blood, the man said faintly, dressed in black clothes and pants.]

[He had messy, unkempt short hair, dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept in years. His left eyelid drooped, while his right eye was wide open and deep, one eye larger than the other, both hollow and lifeless.]

[He gave off a very tired feeling, with a faint aura of despair surrounding him.]

[Not far away, two maids, dressed in pink and blue, were chest to chest, hand in hand, and gasped.]

["Rem, Rem, Master Subaru is teasing Berserker again. How pitiful."]

["Sister, Sister, Master Subaru is bullying Berserker again. How inhuman."]

[Their tones were quite synchronized, like newly manufactured pink and blue broadcast machines.]

[The King of Purge remained silent, glancing at the two of them.]

[In an instant.]

[The two cute maids became nervous, holding hands and shrinking back into a corner.]

["I'm scared, I feel like Master Subaru is going to chop off my head, Rem."]

["Terrifying, I feel like Master Subaru is going to cut me in half with one strike, Sister."]

[Although they were androids from the Einzbern family, they seemed no different from cute junior high school students.]

[Youthful and lively individuals were bound to be a bit noisy.]

[Until he calmly placed his finger on his lips and blew.]

["Shh~"]

[Instantly, the entire ruins of the Einzbern castle fell into deathly silence.]

[Even the birds flying overhead dared not make the slightest sound.]

[—This was the might of the "King of Purge."]

[He was the current head of the Einzbern family, commanding a well-trained army of androids, invincible in battle, and had dealt devastating blows to Japan's four major zaibatsu.]

[He killed purely on a whim, with 127,602 people having died by his hand.]

[His notorious reputation made him the undisputed "Tyrant of the Mage World!"]

[His name was—Natsuki Subaru.]

"I'm a tyrant...?!"

In the Sky Screen world, a shut-in otaku was utterly shocked.

What kind of situation was this that his parallel world self would become such a ruthless character!

Wielding an extraordinary army, destroying zaibatsu with a flick of his finger, a super-evil criminal who had killed over a hundred thousand people...

Did your parents die or something?

Others get ten times stronger when they go dark, you get ten thousand times stronger?

32. Sinful Haruno, 4A Panel Shocks the World, Hercules!

The atmosphere of the Sky Screen was filled with a faint sadness, with oppressive orchestral music playing intermittently.

It was as if one could hear cuckoos weeping blood, transforming into an unforgettable, deep sorrow.

This was a kind of wandering loneliness, a heart grown cold, unknown to anyone.

["Ten years, and you still haven't returned."]

[The King of Purge whispered, taking out a photo he carried in his pocket and sneering mockingly.]

[Then he carefully put it back in his embrace.]

The photo shows a young Haruno with her hand on a small child's head.

At that time, he was nine years old and possessed a special magical constitution that could amplify Heroic Spirits and magic. Because of this, he was taken in by the Einzbern family for... inhumane experiments.

Under the torture of the Einzberns, he gradually became indifferent and numb.

Then one day, a woman came to the Einzbern home.

In the castle, perpetually shrouded in ice and snow...

A precious ray of sunlight shone in.

She was a mysterious woman, pursuing justice, elegant, and always smiling.

He later learned that she was Yukino Yukino, one of the participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Haruno had originally said she would rescue him, and she was very serious about it, but then she disappeared without a trace... He continued to be experimented on.

He sometimes wondered if perhaps Haruno had died in the Fourth Holy Grail War, or if she had some unspeakable difficulty that prevented her from returning.

In the cold castle, he would gaze out the window day after day, hoping... that one day he would see that woman return to the Einzberns.

It didn't matter if his face froze.

It didn't matter if his hands got frostbite.

Even if he caught a cold or got a fever, he would still go.

Until he underwent surgery by the Einzberns, where 70% of his body was implanted with magic circuits. The corpses of children like him piled up like mountains; everyone else died... but he was still alive.

Later, Subaru no longer needed Haruno to save him; he alone retaliated against the entire Einzbern family.

No one could tell him what to do anymore, and no one could stand above him.

"The King of Purge" was the ruler of the Einzberns and even hundreds of thousands of their subordinates.

Later, he came to understand.

Although Haruno had died, before her death, she had lived with another child for five years.

... In the eyes of that traitor, perhaps he was just an insignificant existence.

The vow made under the snow had long since turned to dust, and promises, once broken, were cheaper than yellowed parchment.

He deeply understood that the human world was hell, filled with endless betrayal and endless hatred.

The instinct for survival drove everyone to kill, scheme, and plot. Oaths held no sway in people's hearts, affection could not withstand the passage of time, infatuation was merely a delusion for one person, and in the end... everything turned to nothing.

He stumbled, and the world in his eyes gradually lost its color, turning into a monotonous black and white.

All living beings were despicable deceivers; nothing was trustworthy.

All beings fell silent.

The world was adrift in a sea of suffering, where affection was like snow and hatred like a knife. Beautiful memories did not fade with the passage of time; instead, they fermented in their passing, becoming an ineffable, indelible dream imprinted upon the heart.

"Yukino Yukino, you truly are a woman burdened with sin."

Someone muttered blankly.

It was her heartless abandonment that had plunged a hopeful child into hell.

It had created the tyrant of the magic world, the King of Purge, whose countless killings inspired terror.

"Indeed, for the King of Purge, this wait was far too long, so long it became a regret..."

Someone sighed wistfully.

After witnessing the King of Purge's ordeal, he suddenly recalled a classic dialogue.

How do you create a hero?

Give him a terrible life, and a little bit of love.

Then how do you create a demon?

Take away that little bit of love.

"Yukino Yukino..."

Someone silently lit a cigarette and sighed softly, "You entrusted someone to take care of the little girl in the Fifth Holy Grail War, you spent five years with another person before you died, yet you alone failed to keep your promise and rescue the King of Purge..."

In the Sky Screen world, Haruno stared blankly at the countless condemning comments directed at her.

Damn it.

Was the me from the parallel world really this useless?

She made a promise but couldn't keep it, causing me to get caught in the crossfire even while doing nothing.

"Big sister is really trash,"

Yukino calmly took a sip of her tea, her expression disdainful.

The woman immediately froze, her face turning ashen.

--Haruno, sunk!

"It's fine."

From atop the throne, the King of Purge coldly gazed towards Fuyuki City in the distance. "After I grasp the Holy Grail, I will personally question you... about your betrayal back then."

At the same time, grand and majestic background music suddenly began to play.

The camera gradually pulled back.

And pulled back further.

What appeared before everyone was the supreme tyrant in a world of ice and snow!

The cold man stood at the apex, with the great hero of ancient Greek mythology, "Hercules," guarding his side, letting out a fierce low growl.

As if it were the only one of its kind in the world, peerless, he had completed the final struggle for supremacy!

A silent shock!

The entire world fell silent, as if even the sound of air currents was deafening.

The camera shifted to the tyrannical figure, and the real status panel reappeared...
