Tribute to the Demon King

"Oh oh oh--"

Amid the old but painful screams, large cracks appeared on Matou Zouken's body. Black mud and red flesh and blood were mixed together, and he could no longer even be considered human.Matou Zouken, which was rolling around in pain, now looks no different from a moving piece of meat.

However, just looking at Matou Zouken at this moment, Kiritsugu couldn't help trembling.

If it is said that the curse accumulated on the black mud will sting if you look at it, then the current "Matou Zouken" can feel uncomfortable because of his existence without even looking at it.

An extremely strong curse poured out of him, congealed into lumps, and gathered in the air.

Mere existence dyed the surrounding air an ominous color.

"First of all, Emiya Kiritsugu, you have to be clear."

Zhou Yi's expression became serious, and while speaking, he slightly stretched out his right hand to Jiantong Zouyan: "Among the people present, you are not the only one who had the dream of being a 'partner of justice'."

Accompanied by his whispers, the silver-gray medulla flame lit up from the fingertips of the five fingers of his right hand, and the gray lines like cobwebs and metal thorns spread forward from his fingertips, swiftly moving in the void. crawling.

As if realizing something, "Matou Zouyan", who was lying on the ground before losing consciousness, jumped up in an instant, and ran towards the black mud several meters away with the strange steps that humans could not use.

However, the ground around it rumbled and made a weak sound, and the ground under its feet suddenly collapsed into a big pit, and it accidentally fell staggering.

During the time it was wasting, the gray thorns spreading out from Zhou Yi's fingertips stretched out a sharp blade, piercing deeply into the back of Matou Zouyan.

Accompanied by the screams and curses like insects, a dazzling light purple brilliance bloomed from the back of Zou Yan, and gray spiderweb-like lines gradually emerged from its body.

As if some switch was struck, the purple lightning burst instantly, and a strange hallucination unfolded in front of everyone present——

In 1800 in the Western calendar, visitors appeared in Winter City, which was constantly making artificial humans.

Macky Zorgen.

The magician with dreams shining in his eyes, the whimsical man who wanted to eradicate all the evils at this time and eradicate the viciousness of all mankind, came to the lifeless Winter City.

At that time, he met Justesa.

No matter how time goes by, the one that cannot be forgotten and will always be in my heart, the proof of the third law, the golden saint of Einzbern.Her existence, her smile, no matter what, Maqili will never forget her.

——Want to redeem mankind.

With a similar desire, the existence of Justisa Lizleich von Einzbern injected hope into Maqili; and with Maqili's understanding and Tohsaka's cooperation, Einz Belem also began building the Great Grail.

Justesa is a miracle that cannot be replicated no matter what.But Justesa alone cannot use the third method even if it takes decades.

A human universe where her magic circuit is disassembled and magically replaced—this idea is the Great Holy Grail.

However, even with Justesa as the hearth, an extremely large amount of magical power is required to activate the Great Holy Grail.

In order to complete the Great Grail, Maqili and Tohsaka formulate a plan to collect magic power.

That is the Ritual Holy Grail War.

Ten years later, the Great Grail is finally complete.

However, the first run ended in a brutal failure.

—That’s right, the Great Holy Grail is infallible.But... there was a problem with the magicians who participated.

Justesa sacrificed herself to become the heart of magic, but the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War were not for the planet, nor for human beings.They just tried to usurp the Holy Grail for their own national, social and personal desires, and started killing each other.

Can't, forgive——

A utopia that abolishes all evil and eradicates all viciousness is close at hand, but the path to miracles is cut off because of the viciousness of human beings.

"...No matter what, the Holy Grail must be completed."

With grief and hatred, Maqili made up his mind.

If it doesn't work once, just do it again.If it doesn't work twice, it's the third time.

"Then let's put it this way, Zorgen."

The friends of the Tohsaka family smiled and looked at Maqili with trusting eyes: "Even if our wish is far away, it is dazzling and noble."

Somewhere in the future, it will definitely be completed——

The eyes of the dying friend were filled with such expectations.

Realizing that she was alone again, Maqili decided to live.

Hundreds of years are nothing.

From now on, beyond the countless cold and heat, it must be completed.

That's right, the long-cherished wish is not over, the journey has just begun——

Originally wanted to grasp the consciousness of the Holy Grail in Zouken's mind, but unexpectedly synchronized with Matou Zouken, and the complete five hundred years of memory was poured into Zhou Yi's mind without reservation. It was Zhou Yi who was also briefly absent-minded for a moment.Even the spilled clips had a huge impact on several others.

Instinctively aware of the opportunity, the mass of black and red flesh broke his body in half with incredible strength, leaving the half held by Zhou Yi, who was like a puppeteer, while only half of his body stumbled climbed out.

After he touched the black mud, his body immediately swelled rapidly.

The black-red piece of meat became the size of a residential house in the blink of an eye, and even continued to expand.The black mud as thick as asphalt immediately flowed, rolled up the pieces of meat and ran away as if fleeing.

But also because of this reason, the black mud running around shrinks back instead.The dwellings have also been preserved.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu and the others just broke free from the illusion.

Realizing that the piece of meat could not continue to escape, but the next moment Zhou Yi's words made Emiya Kiritsugu stop.
