Chapter 461: False Propositions Destroy the Holy Grail and Game Promotion (Original)
Although Kiritsugu was deeply saddened, he still made his decision.

However, the plot in which he strangled his wife "Aili" to death still made the audience feel very heartbroken.

Although we know that this "Airy" is no longer the same Airy, it is too hard to accept that Kiritsugu had to face the pain of killing his own relatives with his own hands.

From the audience's perspective, it is natural to know that this is not Ellie's.

But from Kiritsugu's perspective, what if this is Airy?

This is like asking Brother Huozi to kill his parents in the modern world. Even if he is told that it is Layue Shiba pretending to be him, Brother Huozi probably won't be able to do it.

Even if I could do it, it would be painful to think about watching that familiar face gradually die.

Gradually, the barrage began to synchronize in real time the barrage that the audience had just posted.

"It's all Tokiomi's fault!"

"Kiritsugu: It's not me who's wrong! It's the whole world!"

"I'm wrong, it's... I'm not wrong, it's that old thief Qingshan!"

“It’s so painful!”

"Awesome! I'm starting to understand everything!"

"Kiritsugu, you saved the world, but who will save you?"

"This Holy Grail is poisoned!"

"The old thief Qingshan is indeed a realist!"

"It's all the fault of Qingshan the old thief!"

"The source of all evil! The evil of this world! Old thief Qingshan!"

"It was destined to be a tragedy from the beginning."

"When you think about it, Kiritsugu is really pathetic."

"World peace is an illusion. Even a miracle cannot achieve complete world peace."

"So what Kiritsugu has been fighting for is just a meaningless illusion."

……

There is no doubt that Kiritsugu's final tragedy in "Fate Zero" is due to the fact that world peace is a false proposition.

In fact, even if the Holy Grail had not been contaminated by Angra Mainyu, it was destined to fail to fulfill Kiritsugu's wish.

Coincidentally, all the works that Lin Qingshan copied in the past actually expressed this view.

There will never be peace in the world. As long as there are desires, inequality, human beings, and intelligent creatures, true world peace will never be achieved.

World peace is like a distant utopia, always just out of reach.

We can only strive for it as an ideal, trying to get infinitely close to it but never fully achieve it.

Kiritsugu was actually pursuing a wish that could never be achieved from the beginning, so that all his current sacrifices are meaningless tragedies.

"The old thief Qingshan is really..."

Zhou Wenwei didn't know what to say, and finally could only say, "He looks crazy and not like a normal person at all, but in fact he is more sober than a normal person and sees things more clearly..."

“They say genius is on the left and madness is on the right.”

Ke Xinjie also felt the same way and said, "The essence of a genius is a madman. Mr. Qingshan is just much more talented than a genius. Plus, he has experienced those things, so he is more open-minded."

But after Kiritsugu killed Black Airi with his own hands, the scene changed.

Kotomine Kirei woke up from a pool of blood, but he knelt down very honestly and gave a standard French military salute.

Because Kiritsugu is now behind him with a gun.

If he made any movement, he would be shot dead.

However...the audience all hopes that Kiritsugu can shoot Kotomine Kirei to death.

Because what Kotomine Kirei has shown so far is only pure beastly behavior.

Taking pleasure in torturing others, backstabbing the teacher, and putting the blame on Kariya...it really seems so inhumane.

Although Gilgamesh is not a human being, the mutual respect between him and the emperor, as well as his extremely powerful strength, still make him popular among some audiences.

Kotomine Kirei, however, never showed any shining points and was just a pure villain.

And then, when Kotomine Kirei asked Kiritsugu why he rejected the Holy Grail, and begged Kiritsugu not to destroy the Holy Grail, but to let the being in the Holy Grail be born...

Kiritsugu pulled the trigger without hesitation, and Kotomine Kirei immediately fell in a pool of blood.

Only then did everyone feel a little relieved.

"How about popping the champagne!"

"You're allowed to evade taxes! You're allowed to evade taxes!"

"This beast is finally dead! It feels so good!"

"I have finally avenged Uncle Yan and Tokiomi!"

"Wait! Now only Saber's group is left. After all, Kotomine Kirei, the Master of Gilgamesh, is already dead."

"Don't think about it. Next, Kiritsugu will prepare to destroy this Holy Grail."

“It’s like winning but not winning.”

"A classic battle royale game in which everyone loses in the end without a single winner. You are worthy of being the old thief Qingshan!"

"Wait... didn't they say this episode wasn't the finale? Why does it look like it's already the finale?"

"Huh? This episode isn't the finale?"

……

However, what the audience didn’t know was that Kotomine Kirei...didn’t really die.

After all, he was still alive and well in the Fifth War, and the Fourth War actually came out later. In order to complete this plot, of course he couldn't just die like this.

So the original work arranged a plot in which the black mud of the Holy Grail filled his heart and allowed him to survive.

But in this case, when Lin Qingshan regards "Fate Zero" as the first work in the Fate series, it actually seems a bit forced.

It feels like forcing this supporting character to live on is disgusting.

But he felt that it was best not to change the plot, after all, Kotomine Kirei still had a lot to shine in the Fifth War...

As this episode of animation came to an end, the scene turned to Saber who had just finished fighting with Lancelot.

She finally arrived at the auditorium where the Holy Grail was.

only……

Someone is faster than her.

"You're so slow, Saber."

Gilgamesh's arrogant and somewhat annoying voice came from outside the screen, "Even if you came here to play with a familiar mad dog, it's really disrespectful to make me wait so long."

"Archer!"

Suddenly, Saber was ready with the holy sword in hand.

"What's that expression of yours?"

Gilgamesh said condescendingly, "It's just like a starving wild dog."

"Get out of my way!"

Saber had just finished a battle in which she killed her best friend, and she was determined to obtain the Holy Grail. She said, "The Holy Grail... is mine!"

Then the next moment, a Noble Phantasm was launched from the King's Treasure behind Gilgamesh, injuring Saber and causing her to fall to her knees.

"Even if you are haunted by obsession and fall to the ground."

Gilgamesh looked very interested, but surprisingly said, "You are still so beautiful... Throw down your sword and become my wife!"

Saber was obviously shocked, mainly because she was confused by Gilgamesh's downward action.

However, Gilgamesh still said to Saber, "What's the point of being obsessed with something so inexplicable when the Holy Grail can bring miracles?"

"Abandon all your boring ideals and vows. From now on, you only need to desire me! Only exist for me!"

"In this way, I will grant you endless happiness and joy in this world in the name of the King of All Things!"

The audience was stunned. Is this... a proposal?
But is this Gilgamesh's way of proposing? But some viewers thought about it carefully and shook their heads and concluded...

No, he simply takes pleasure in others.

It was because of Saber's noble morals and her extremely persistent and unchanging ideals that Gilgamesh came up with the idea of ​​conquering Saber and making her surrender to him for greater pleasure.

There are two greatest hobbies for people:

The more noble something is, the more humble it should be; the more arrogant something is, the more humble it should be.

This will help people satisfy their inner desires.

This is clearly the case with Gilgamesh, who only wants to see the noble and persistent Saber submit to him.

In this way, his heart, which had become empty and rotten and unable to feel any happiness because all the treasures in the world were collected by him, could feel great joy again.

Of course, Saber would never surrender, but she was facing the power of Gilgamesh.

Even in her heyday, she could hardly rival Gilgamesh, who possessed the [King's Treasure], let alone now.

So when she refused, she was also badly injured by Gilgamesh.

But at this moment...

Opposite Saber, behind Gilgamesh, in the darkness, Kiritsugu slowly appeared.

At the same time, the last two Command Seals on the back of his right hand appeared as he showed them to Saber.

Suddenly hope rekindled in Saber's eyes.

Gilgamesh thought that Saber's confidence had been rekindled, and smiled excitedly.

“Command it with the command spell…”

Under Saber’s hopeful gaze, Kiritsugu used the Command Seals to give Saber an order.

"Let me have... the Holy Grail."

Saber was suddenly filled with hope and confidence. Kiritsugu was definitely here to help her get the Holy Grail!

And with the help of Kiritsugu's Command Spell, she can definitely... defeat Gilgamesh and obtain the Holy Grail!
however……

"Saber, use your Noble Phantasm to bring the Holy Grail..."

"……destroy!"

Kiritsugu said ruthlessly.

"Varied……"

Saber couldn't believe it. Was Kiritsugu using the Command Seal to order her to... destroy the Holy Grail?
But why?
Moreover, the Holy Grail was her only chance to save the Kingdom of Camelot and her companions. When she was about to obtain the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu actually asked her to destroy it? !
Saber was puzzled and didn't want to do that.

However, the function of the Command Spell is to force the Heroic Spirits to obey orders!

In an instant, the treasure in her hand, [Sword of Promised Victory], burst out with powerful pressure and released a dazzling light.

The Command Spells can replenish the magic power supply of the Heroic Spirit, and can even support its magic power consumption to release Noble Phantasms.

"What are you doing? Saber!"

Gilgamesh said in confusion when he saw Saber suddenly release her Noble Phantasm.

"no……"

Saber wanted to explain something.

however……

“Use the third Command Spell as the final command…”

Kiritsugu's firm voice came again and said.

"Why? Kiritsugu? Why!?"

Saber was obviously quite resistant to the order to destroy the Holy Grail, but she uncontrollably raised the holy sword in her hand and shouted.

"Asshole! Do you want to interfere with our wedding?!"

Gilgamesh also looked at Kiritsugu angrily at this time and said, "...Bastard!"

“Saber… bring the Holy Grail…”

Kiritsugu never paid any attention to Gilgamesh, but continued to give orders to Saber.

"don't want!!!"

Saber's eyes were filled with despair, and she wanted to resist Kiritsugu's orders.

However, in the face of Kiritsugu's indifferent but determined eyes, he still ruthlessly ordered, "...Destroy!"

Finally... Saber swung down the [Sword of Promised Victory] that she had completely released.

However... this episode ends here!
……

On the spot, Zhou Wenwei and Ke Xinjie, who were originally fascinated by the anime, immediately hugged their heads.

The same is true for many viewers who watch anime on time late at night.

“Ahhhh…why did it break here?!”

"Ah? Is the Holy Grail destroyed or not?!"

"It's destroyed! The ending must be destroyed, I just want to know what the ending is!!!"

"No wonder they said this episode wasn't the finale. It ended here, right?"

“You old thief Qingshan!!! You really deserve to die!!”

"It's all the fault of that old thief Qingshan!"

"When I think about having to wait another week to see the ending, my scalp tingles!"

"A week! Do you know how I spent the next week?!"

“Ahhhhhh, I can’t take it anymore!!”

……

This crucial plot ending is extremely painful.

But for Lin Qingshan, the ending of "Fate Zero" is actually not that bad.

At the very least, it's much better than a certain food masterpiece in his previous life that started off great but ended badly. The most famous thing about that show was that whenever the plot reached a critical point, it would be stuck at the end of the show.

Just one moment Reiner reveals his identity and transforms into a giant and is about to have a fierce battle, and the next moment the ending appears.

It really tortured the audience who were following the show at that time.

"Fate Zero" as a whole only kept the secret in episode 24 and the finale episode 25, so it's okay.

But the audience must have felt extremely uncomfortable.

In fact, everyone knows what the ending will be. For Lin Qingshan’s works, whether it is comics, animations, or special effects films, everyone actually knows roughly what the ending will be.

But these works of Lin Qingshan have a unique charm.

Even though people know the general direction of the plot, they still want to see how the plot develops later.

Even though they know that Hayakawa Aki will be stabbed in the end, anime fans still want to see how Hayakawa Aki will be stabbed.

They knew that Kiritsugu would force Saber to destroy the Holy Grail with the Sword of Promised Victory, but they just wanted to see what would happen after the Holy Grail was destroyed by Saber.

But there is no way...

They really have to wait a week to see the final ending of "Fate Zero".

However, just after this episode was broadcast, Station C had already appeared... pre-download push ads and numerous promotional videos for the "Fate Zero" derivative game "Fate Grand Order"!
“Fate Grand Order, a spin-off game of Fate Zero, will be available for download next Saturday night!”

"Become a Master, collect your favorite Heroic Spirits and save human history!"

“The plot is good, the art is excellent, and it’s double the fun!”

"Excuse me...are you my Master?"

……

C-station and Lightspeed Game Development Company have been prepared for a long time, and will launch the game after the finale of "Fate Zero" next week, and...

PV of the anime "Fate Grand Order" with the same name!
