A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Weber, standing still, watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance.

In his heart, Weber could sense that those two people were not bad people; they were simply adversaries because of their different stances.

That's why Weber feels so conflicted and conflicted right now.

But if one has no mindset, how can one be considered a subject?

Weber clenched his fist.

He understood perfectly well that the magician in front of him possessed a powerful magic 'Underlying Boundary', and his strength was no different from that of a Heroic Spirit.

Or rather... can this person really be considered a magician?

Despite being just a child, he possesses the powerful magic 'Realistic Marble', making him comparable in strength to a Heroic Spirit.

What kind of changes such a person will bring to the world in the future is all unknown.

No matter how hard I try, or even in the future, I probably can't defeat him.

However, if I give up like this, I am not worthy to be that person's subject.

Thinking of this, he gazed deeply at the departing figure of the boy, then turned and left with a resolute look in his eyes.

Webber may not yet know that once he returns to the Clock Tower, he will be caught in another storm.

……

At this moment, Shirou felt the biting cold wind that was constantly raging, and slightly raised his head to look in the direction of Mount Enzo.

A black sun has now appeared in the sky above Mount Enzang.

"This is the second time I've seen it; all the evil in this world!"

Shirou stared at the black sun high in the sky, his gaze resolute.

In fact, the black sun is actually a real "hole".

It is the spatial tunnel hidden beneath the altar of the Advent ceremony and Mount Enzo on the east side of Fukayama Town, which connects to the "Greater Grail" magic circle.

Having absorbed the energy of the earth's veins over sixty years, it has now become the Holy Grail, filled with the souls of six heroes, transforming into a massive magical vortex.

This is the actual black "hole".

The "device" taken from the homunculi of Einzbern was merely the key to open that hole, and also the control device to keep the hole stable.

The taxi driver who witnessed that scene

Lang immediately narrowed his eyes slightly.

It's not far from Ryudong Temple; you can get there in just a short walk.

"There are no other enemies left... which means the Holy Grail is finally about to appear."

Upon hearing Shirou's voice, Saber's eyes lit up slightly. The thought that her wish was about to be fulfilled filled her with both excitement and a touch of nervousness.

Whether the Holy Grail, known as the all-powerful wish-granting machine, can truly grant wishes is about to be revealed.

"Let's go there now!"

Saber said somewhat excitedly.

Seeing the girl's excitement, Shirou's mouth opened and closed slightly, but he finally nodded.

"Well, let's go."

They walked on the road to Ryudou Temple, and Saber's gaze remained fixed ahead, no longer paying attention to anything else.

"Saber, there's something I want to tell you."

"What?" Saber looked at Shirou with some confusion.

"The Holy Grail is no longer as pure as it used to be."

Shirou raised his head, inviting Saber to look at the "hole" in the sky as well.

"In the beginning, the Holy Grail was indeed a near-omnipotent wish-granting machine, relying on immense magical power to grant wishes. However, all of this changed drastically starting with the Third Holy Grail War..."

During the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family, who were not skilled in combat magic, used a foreign classic as a catalyst to summon an unnamed anti-hero—Angola Manuel—as the Avengers.

The eighth class of Servant, "Avenger," whose real name is Angora Mainyu, is absolute evil, the sum total of all evil in the world.

After this Servant was defeated, his soul was absorbed by the Holy Grail.

Normally, defeated heroic spirits would lose their personalities and be absorbed into the Holy Grail as magical energy. However, Angra Mainyu represents a collective wish, so his entry into the Holy Grail is equivalent to making a wish.

At that time, the Holy Grail, which truly possesses the power to grant wishes, accepted it as a wish and activated its power.

As a result, Angola Mainyu, who embodies "all the evil of this world," was made flesh within the Holy Grail, becoming a successful example of the third magic—the Heaven's Cup.

However, this physical body was not created by the Heaven's Cup; it merely restored its original attribute of "killing all things in the world."

Because he was absorbed into the Holy Grail, and his soul was absolutely evil, the colorless power of the Holy Grail was corrupted, and Fuyuki's Holy Grail became a vortex of evil power.

"Although the Holy Grail's function of 'fulfilling the victor's wishes' remains unchanged after it is corrupted, due to the 'evil of this world,' no matter what kind of wish is made, it will be filled with endless 'malice,' and will often only be fulfilled in the form of destruction and disaster."

"Therefore, once the Holy Grail is unleashed, it will flow with 'all the evil of this world (AngraMainyu),' radiating endless malice until it destroys all of humanity."

After hearing what Shirou said, Saber felt a little unsteady on her feet.

"How...how could this happen..."

Saber gripped her sword tighter and gazed at the mountaintop, her expression becoming complex.

Although she learned everything from Shirou, she still wanted to see the Holy Grail with her own eyes.

Even if you know in your heart that it's impossible, you still hold onto a sliver of hope.

Shirou could guess the girl's current state of mind, and he sighed softly.

"In any case, let's extract Irisviel's soul first."

"Hmm...you're right, Irisviel is still waiting for us."

Saber frowned slightly and nodded, gripping the sword in her hand even tighter.

"Let's go."

Soon, they arrived at Ryudong Temple via the mountain path.

Saber, walking ahead, nervously reached out and pushed open the door. Her eyes widened slightly upon seeing the scene inside.

“That’s…Irisviel…”

Upon hearing this, Shirou quickly went inside and immediately saw the body of a silver-haired woman placed on a platform above the innermost steps of Ryudou Temple.

No, that body was already cold. Irisviel, the "Minor Grail," had lost all signs of life. After absorbing the souls of six Servants, her internal organs had long since returned to the form of the Grail vessel.

The sealing spell has disappeared, and the aftershocks, due to the powerful magic it contained, brought scorching heat to the surrounding area.

The beautiful android's remains were instantly burned to ashes.

And that's not all; the golden cup, exposed to the outside air, scorched the floor and curtains, and flames engulfed the empty stage.

On the stage where the fire was raging, the Golden Cup seemed to be held up in mid-air by an unseen hand.

The Holy Grail Descent Ceremony, which the "Founding Three Families" had long dreamed of, quietly began without even a priest.

Next, from

From within the golden Holy Grail, an endless stream of black, viscous substance began to emerge.

The substance looked very similar to "mud," black, just black, like a mud-like "object."

The black mud, mixed with endless evil, instantly transformed into waves that overflowed from the Holy Grail, eroding everything around it like magma.

Neither the floor nor the steel could withstand the black mud; it melted instantly upon contact.

Upon seeing the black sludge, Saber was filled with disgust at the thought that what she was pursuing was overflowing with such evil sludge.

Is this all the evil in the world?

"Yes, Irisviel's soul should be inside that cup now. Hopefully, it's not too late."

At this moment, Shirou ignored the surging black mud, walked up the steps, and reached out his hand toward the Holy Grail.

"Shirou... what's wrong?"

Seeing Shirou suddenly stop moving after touching the Holy Grail, Saber went over and touched his shoulder with some concern.

However, at this moment, Shirou could neither hear Saber's voice nor feel any touch.

Under the influence of magic, the scenery around Shirou shattered like a bubble, turning into an endless, dark void.

In this absolutely dark world, the only thing that could evoke any feeling was the black mud that had submerged half of Shirou's legs.

He felt as if he were in a dark, shallow shoal.

"This must be the interior of the Holy Grail."

Shirou looked around at the overflowing darkness and found that this world filled with black mud seemed to stretch endlessly.

Just then, a surprised female voice reached my ears.

"where is this place?"

Shirou paused for a moment, then looked at the girl who had appeared beside him at some point.

"Saber? You came in too?"

“Hmm, it seems I was also affected by magic when I touched you…” Saber replied.

"Is that so...? Then let's go together."

Shirou exchanged a knowing glance with the girl.

“Okay.” Saber nodded.

After walking a short distance in one direction, light began to appear ahead, where the previously dark area was now visible.

As the light source magnified, the scene around them began to change dramatically.

The sky was covered in pure white, and suddenly Shirou felt a slight coolness on his cheek. He raised his hand and caught the white objects that were falling down.

"Is this... snow?"

Shirou raised his eyes and looked ahead, discovering a castle standing in the center of this world surrounded by heavy snow.
