Late 1994, winter.
That night, the citizens were in panic.
Every resident's heart felt heavy, as if there was a terrifying giant beast that devoured everything hidden in the dark night. Fear spread across every inch of Fuyuki City, and the depressing atmosphere made people breathless.
No one knows the reason. Only a few old people vaguely remember that some unfathomable "abnormalities" occurred in Fuyuki City about sixty years ago.
Originally, most residents stayed at home in a tacit agreement, preparing to survive this dull and depressing night.
However, things soon went wrong.
Especially in the direction of Mount Enzo, there were meteor showers, roaring artillery fire, hurricanes, thunder... and even an earthquake that affected the entire Miyama Minami Town, alarming a large number of citizens.
Even late at night, several neighborhoods near Miyama Minamachi are still extremely lively.
"Oh my God, what happened? Is Amaterasu angry?" Feeling the vibration on the ground, an old man said tremblingly.
An office worker shook his head: "Don't be superstitious, it's already 1994! The military should be experimenting with new weapons."
"Honey, come out and see God!" An American uncle who was traveling in an island country shouted with a camera.
The alarmed citizens ran out one after another. They stared at the direction of Yuanzang Mountain where the strange phenomena occurred frequently, and the heated discussions continued for a moment.
"Hey, guess what will happen next?" A young man with yellow hair asked while smoking a cigarette.
Another young man with a killer haircut replied:
"God knows, first there were golden and blue meteor showers, then there were weird dark red clouds, dazzling golden vortexes, then there were red light pillars and storms, and finally there were rolling thunder and a golden light pillar..."
A middle-aged uncle asked worriedly: "What will the city government say when such a big thing happens?"
"They said it was an underground natural gas pipeline... In short, it was a gas explosion."
"Gas explosion? Can gas explosion cause earthquakes? Can it summon hurricanes and lightning? I think their brains are blown!"
"Who knows, maybe it's just an illusion, a mirage."
The noise of the fight over there was too loud to cover up.
The people in the Holy Church were so busy that they could not quell the commotion.
However, the church has connections with the authorities. With the help of Fuyuki City Hall and the police, church members blocked every road leading to Mount Enzo.
In an inconspicuous alley somewhere, listening to the reports of several subordinates, Father Li Zheng's face looked very ugly.
Kirei was missing. He hurried back from a neighboring city.
As soon as I came back, I found that the situation was a bit out of control. An earth-shattering battle broke out around Yuanzang Mountain. The movement was so loud that the citizens talked about it...
"Sir, what should we do now?" a staff member asked anxiously.
The old priest's wrinkled face was full of fatigue:
"Be vigilant, don't let any civilians get close to Yuanzang Mountain, and try to make up a reason to explain."
"But they didn't believe it at all! As usual... Well, our people said it was a gas explosion, but the citizens actually said we were mentally retarded!" A staff member was about to cry without tears.
Kotomine Rimasa: "..."
The same excuse has been used so often that it doesn't even work for gas explosions anymore.
The night was still busy, and the Imperial City PK between the King of Heroes and Renne was really shocking.
Although the distance was a bit far and the cover of night made it difficult for everyone to see the specific situation there, even if the Holy Church issued a statement stating that it was responsible for the incident, it would not have the effect of diverting the attention of the people.
After several heated debates, the citizens finally reached a consensus - aliens are invading the earth!
Kotomine Rimasa: "..."
Only then did the priest realize that he was really old, and the church staff also felt that they were really behind the times and could no longer keep up with the trends of the times.
The mental endurance and mental capacity of the residents of Fuyuki City are far beyond their imagination.
Some people even speculated that two groups of aliens were fighting, using advanced laser weapons. One was the crayfish invading the earth, and the other was the giant of light.
The evidence is the last golden stream of light, which is obviously the light skill of the M78 spaceman. After it was released, there was no movement at all. It was obvious that the little monster was killed...
The oath was firm, well-founded, and logical...it almost convinced the staff of the Holy Church.
"Where are the Self-Defense Forces? Hurry up and help!"
"Stupid, they would have crashed a long time ago!"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to help. Believe it or not, I will be the human body of the Giant of Light when I come back!"
Behind the cordon, a group of serious-looking policemen holding batons stopped several hot-headed junior high school students who were trying to cross the cordon to Yuanzang Mountain.
The police actually didn't know what was going on, but their superiors asked them to block the route.
Watching this scene, a church staff member nearby twitched the corner of his mouth and said to his companion: "These people are really evil!"
"No, when I was explaining to everyone just now, they actually stopped me and said that Ultraman really exists!" Someone said with a very helpless tone.
"Even a gas explosion won't work. It's so hard to take the blame these days!" another person lamented.
Time: “…………”
…………
In stark contrast to this side is Ryudongsa Temple.
The cold wind is biting and the place is deserted.
The moonlight hung under the night, and the group followed the broken shrine and soon arrived at the silent top of Enzo Mountain, stopping at the quaint gate of Ryudou Temple.
Father Kiritsugu and Saber took a deep breath, their eyes full of desire, and prepared to enter Ryudou Temple.
"Wait, there's something I need to tell you." Ren sighed and decided to tell the truth.
Saber was a little confused, stared at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You should have noticed that there is something wrong with the aura of the Noble Phantasm I projected before." Ren's eyes were as calm as the lake on a winter night. He explained softly, "That was the magic projection I extracted from the Great Holy Grail underground. weapons."
Saber was startled at first, recalling those noble phantoms that exuded a dark red luster, and that evil and twisted aura... A strong uneasiness surged in her heart.
Kariya was confused, while Kiritsugu clenched his fists subconsciously.
"Wu Ming, what's going on?" King Daimao suddenly looked anxious.
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head slightly, his face still expressionless, and prepared to cross the mountain gate and enter Ryudou Temple.
"Kiritsugu, you should know what I'm talking about, right?" Renn stared at the lonely back of the magician killer.
"Well, I know, but I still want to give it a try." Emiya Kiritsugu's voice remained steady, but his clenched fists were shaking uncontrollably.
He had actually thought of this matter a long time ago, but he deliberately avoided the question.
Having no choice, a drowning person will always try to grasp at the last straw, regardless of the fact that the straw cannot bear his weight.
Ren didn't show off, and said directly: "The Holy Grail is contaminated, and the colorless magic power inside has become filthy."
For Saber, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
Her face instantly turned pale and bloodless, and she subconsciously grabbed Ren's arm, as if it was clamped by iron pliers. The extremely strong force made him frown.
"Wu Ming, are you kidding me?"
The girl's voice was so fragile that it made people feel distressed. Like an ostrich, she forced herself to ignore all abnormalities, hoping to get a lie from him.
As for Kariya, he was completely confused.
Compared to the already distraught Saber, although Father Kiritsugu refused to give up, he was obviously calmer.
"Wu Ming, I know you seem to know a lot of things. So, how much do you know about the contamination of the Great Holy Grail?"
Looking at the people who were staring at him intently, Ren briefly talked about "evil in this world", but what he said was that he came into contact with Angora Mainyu during the formation and knew that the Holy Grail was contaminated.
The Daimao King was hit hard, her eyes were a little desperate, and her mind was in confusion. She couldn't help but lose her temper to Wuming:
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Have you been laughing at the joke?!"
Normally she wouldn't be like this, but she was completely out of proportion at the moment.
"It's useless to say it earlier, the Holy Grail War will continue to be fought!" Renn sighed, feeling a little tired, "Besides, are you willing to believe it at that time?"
Now that the facts are in front of us, his words are useful.
Ren pointed to the small Holy Grail in the center of the courtyard, and everyone turned their attention to it.
The small Holy Grail on the table trembled slightly. The originally dazzling container suddenly overflowed with something that could only be described as "mud" and looked like mud.
The color of the mud is black, and it is deep and endless black.
Drop after drop of black mud seeped out of the small holy grail. After a moment, it was like a dam bursting, and the flowing black mud overflowed from the container in the blink of an eye.
The black mud has terrible corrosive power. Except for the steel table specially prepared by Ren, the tributes on the table and the incense table are all corroded, and even the floor tiles are melting.
The evil, bloody, crazy, depraved, and dark atmosphere can be felt by everyone even outside the temple.
This time, the Holy Grail was placed in the empty courtyard of Liudong Temple without any obstruction. Some black mud spilled out during its operation, which exposed the Holy Grail's nature.
The changes don't stop there.
A huge whirlpool of magic power rose to the top of Yuanzang Mountain, and the space began to twist, and the whirlpool gradually turned into a black sun hanging in the sky.
Saber suddenly looked away, lowering her head to see her expression clearly.
Seeing all this, Matou Kariya was speechless and wanted to comfort her and Kiritsugu, but didn't know what to say.
This result is too ironic.
Father Kiritsugu first glanced at the black sun in the sky, and then stared through the door at the black mud overflowing from the small saint.
He asked in an indifferent voice: "Wu Ming, is the contaminated Holy Grail still useful? Can I still make wishes?"
The magician killer's voice was very calm, but Renn could still feel the pain and despair that penetrated his bones, the heart-rending resentment and unwillingness.
Emiya Kiritsugu, along the way, has been pushed to the point where he cannot stop.
His childhood sweetheart, Xia Lei, his father, Noriken Emiya, and his adoptive mother, Natalia... these people all reminded him that apart from realizing his ideal, he could only suffer a lot of bloodshed.
Kiritsugu's words also made Saber raise her head, and she stared at Wuming with a hint of hope in her dull eyes.
Ren knew that Emiya Kiritsugu still refused to give up:
"If you are not afraid of being mentally tortured, you can give it a try. You still have a chance to feel it before the hole in the sky expands to a certain extent."
Father Kiritsugu entered Ryudou Temple without hesitation.
Even if his reason reminded him that that filthy thing had nothing to do with the universal wishing machine, he wouldn't be willing to do it unless he felt it for himself!
Others won't cry until they see the coffin, but even if the magician killer sees the coffin, he will lie down in it and give it a try.
Saber stared at the man's decisive back and wanted to follow, but Ren grabbed her arm forcefully.
"Yanye, it's not safe here anymore. You should go down the mountain first." He first said to the confused Yanye.
"I know, I'll leave the finishing work to you." Matou Kariya sighed helplessly and walked down the mountain.
This fucking fact made him feel very uncomfortable. Although he didn't intend to make a wish, it was the result of risking his life to fight after all.
How many difficulties and obstacles have you experienced along the way?
But he had no choice but to hope that Kiritsugu and Saber wouldn't collapse.
One person walked into Liudong Temple, and the other person went directly down the mountain.
Ren and Saber were the only two people left there. He grabbed her right arm and prevented her from entering Liudong Temple.
Everything around had been destroyed before, the dim moonlight scattered from the sky, the howling cold wind blew across the devastated ground outside Liudong Temple, leaving only a whimpering and low voice echoing in the night sky with a bit of desolation.
Their eyes met, and both of them were speechless.
After a moment, Saber suddenly became excited and shouted angrily: "Let go! I want to go over and give it a try!"
"You'd better not go there. That black mud is very dangerous for servants and can pollute and corrode the spirit body." Ren didn't let go of his hand and said very calmly, "You will know the result when Kiritsugu comes back. !”
He was afraid of something unexpected happening.
Originally, Emiya Kiritsugu rejected the Black Holy Grail, but he couldn't predict what would happen after Saber passed.
"Get out of the way, his wishes and mine are different! I have to give it a try!" Saber said in a deep voice, her suppressed and trembling voice full of resentment and obsession.
Apart from the Holy Grail, she really couldn't think of how to avoid the tragic ending where everyone was covered in blood.
Magic is just energy, a tainted chalice might be just as useful.
Ren frowned immediately, feeling deeply that the Saber in front of him was different from his impression, or from the Saber in other parallel worlds.
The stupid King who didn't talk about chivalry in the fifth war had definitely given up now, but the one in front of him still refused to give up and held on to some illusions.
"Saber, the essence of the Holy Grail is to use the phenomenon of the return of heroic spirits to create a penetration to the outside of the world..." Renn had no choice but to start explaining the principle of the Holy Grail.
He wanted to tell her that the contaminated Holy Grail was useless, but the confused Saber had lost her patience.
She started countless wars and claimed countless lives.
Therefore, even if no one understands her, and she dies more miserably than anyone else - dying in the curse, fear and hatred of everyone, she will accept it.
Only King Arthur died stupidly, so why did everyone need to fall into the abyss and sea of blood together?
Phew~
A strong whirlwind blew up, and Saber broke free from his restraints. The magic air flow surged up and down, quickly weaving a set of bright knight armor.
"Wu Ming, get out of the way! Let me try it!" Saber's voice was filled with resentment while holding the holy sword.
The almost crazy obsession has caused her originally clear emerald eyes to become cloudy.
Maybe he didn't expect her to react so strongly, so Ren was stunned for a moment.
Saber ignored him and passed him by.
She walked towards the Holy Grail step by step, like a drowning person, frantically grabbing around, trying to grab anything that could save her life.
"I am the bone of my sword, Steel is my body, and fire is my blood..."
Ren recited the incantation, his clothes were flying, and a huge whirlwind of magical power surged from his body and blew across the earth.
The magical whirlwind eroded the devastated land, and the surrounding space began to distort, and Saber woke up.
There was some astonishment in her eyes, and she turned to look at him. Her emerald green eyes and dark pupils looked at each other. Their figures gradually blurred and disappeared together under the night...
