[A divine intervention has resulted in Kiritsugu Emiya successfully hunting down Artoria. Congratulations on obtaining 600 free attribute points and a random ability card (Artoria)!]
Name: Divine Wheel Rarity: Epic Description: One of Iskandar's Noble Phantasms, originally a sacrificial vessel used to worship Zeus. It uses the hooves of a divine bull and the wheels of a chariot to crush enemies, and can also be used for aerial travel, adding lightning effects.
Name: Flying Hoof Thunder Ox Level: LV.3
Introduction: The divine bull that pulls the "wheel of divine might" forward is a sacred beast with a close relationship with Zeus. It can float in the air and control thunder.
Name: Random Ability Card (Artoria)
Rating: Undetermined. Description: Can randomly select one skill from Artoria (excluding Noble Phantasms).
Roy looked at the reward panel that kept popping up and couldn't help but think, "Wow, Kiritsugu Emiya, that tool, actually managed to take down Artoria and Iskandar at the last moment."
It's so much better than Natsuki Subaru.
Roy's mind raced, and he used the control panel to draw cards using Artoria's skill.
An illusion of Artoria appeared before Roy, and several orbs of light separated from her—her skills: Magic Resistance, Riding, Intuition, Magic Release, and Leadership.
In the end, a ball of light emerged victorious.
[Draw complete. Congratulations on obtaining "Intuition," which will be a skill.]
Name: Intuition Description: The ability to instantly determine the "most suitable action for oneself" in battle; can briefly "predict the future"; can predict ballistics through the sound of wind and intuition; and can evade attacks from firearms.
Roy's eyes lit up; his European heritage was still valid, and he had won the grand prize.
Among Artoria's inherent abilities, Intuition is undoubtedly among the best.
Artoria was able to dodge Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, the Causal Reversal Spear, thanks to her "Intuition." While this was certainly related to her own abilities, it was also inseparable from the incredible effect of the Intuition skill.
With Diarmuid's red and yellow dual pistols, Iskandar's chariot and divine bull, Artoria's Intuition, and 1400 attribute points, Roy was already very satisfied with earning so many rewards while lying in bed.
However, his assistants suffered a terrible fate.
Roy used his divine intervention, and his consciousness descended once more.
The night was deep. With all the Heroic Spirits defeated, the Holy Grail War had ended. Fuyuki City was plunged into a deathly silence, but there was no peaceful atmosphere. It was more like the calm before the storm.
Emiya Kiritsugu believed his plan was a great success.
He entrusted the souls of Diarmuid, Iskandar, and Artoria to the "Demon God," ensuring that the corrupted Holy Grail would no longer cause a catastrophe.
Backfired.
At the top of the sky, thousands of meters high, a ray of blood-red light appeared, growing brighter and brighter, then suddenly expanding into a blood-red ring. The center was deep and terrifying, like a black sun, concealing immense horror.
Under Kiritsugu Emiya's bewildered and confused gaze, endless black mud flowed down, melting all the trees and buildings it touched.
Why?
Every muscle on Kiritsugu Emiya's face twitched as he stared in despair at the black mud cascading down like a waterfall, letting out a painful roar.
Only Roy knows the answer.
There's no such thing as a Servant's soul being handed over to a "Demon God." Roy just said it offhand. Kiritsugu Emiya drew the wrong conclusion based on incorrect information.
From beginning to end, the only way to avoid disaster was to dismantle the magic circle of the Greater Grail. Roy did not tell the other party the location of the magic circle. The defeated Servant's soul still entered the Lesser Grail. The corrupted Grail pierced through the world, revealing a "hole" from which black mud began to flow.
The situation is even worse than in the original timeline.
Artoria was also defeated; Ecalibur failed to cleave the Lesser Grail.
The overwhelming black mud destroyed everything like a tidal wave, creating giant waves tens of meters high. Wherever it passed, raging fires broke out, and it also engulfed Kiritsugu Emiya.
Bathed in the black mud, Kiritsugu Emiya was immersed in the illusion created by the Holy Grail, which felt incredibly real. He returned to the Einzbern castle, to his living room, which had a dark and grayish tone, just like in a horror movie.
Boom!
Two gunshots rang out, and Roy saw Kiritsugu Emiya, with tears in his eyes, personally kill the Irisviel and Illyasviel simulated by the Lesser Grail.
To save the world, this man would kill even his real wife and daughters, let alone the illusion simulated by the Lesser Grail, if they were standing right in front of him.
Awakening from the illusion of the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya looked at the city that had turned into a sea of fire and kept calling out to the "Demon God," but received no response.
At this moment, he finally realized that he had been tricked! The Servant's soul still entered the Lesser Grail.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"What are you doing, you idiot?"
Kiritsugu Emiya descended into hysterical madness, roaring at the empty space, but it sounded more like he was blaming himself, a fit of impotent rage.
He so easily believed in the "demon god," so this disaster may well bear some responsibility.
He roared for a full three minutes until his voice was hoarse. The surroundings fell silent, and the man clutched his head, filled with despair and pain.
Another survivor bathed in black mud appeared before Kiritsugu Emiya; it was none other than Kirei Kotomine.
Unlike Kiritsugu Emiya, Kirei Kotomine, gazing at the catastrophic disaster before him, felt only pleasure and excitement, and loudly mocked, "Hahaha, Kiritsugu Emiya, is this what you wanted to do? How ridiculous!"
Gilgamesh didn't have time to make Kirei Kotomine kill his master, but he did manage to lead Kirei astray, making him realize that his true nature was to pursue pleasure.
In fact, Kirei Kotomine had already discovered that the person who exposed the truth about the Holy Grail War was Kiritsugu Emiya, but he chose to keep it a secret and did not tell Tokiomi Tohsaka.
As the situation continues to develop...
Nothing more than the pursuit of pleasure!
The impending catastrophe is unstoppable. Before the Magic Church and the Holy Church can react, the black mud could destroy at least a dozen cities and even spread into the Pacific Ocean, possibly reaching the mainland.
The thought of the city's destruction, and the lamentations and cries of tens of thousands of people, sent a surge of intense emotion through Kirei Kotomine, his face flushed and feverish.
call out!
At that moment, a magnificent and dazzling Milky Way appeared in the distant sky!
Upon closer inspection, this galaxy was composed of countless emerald green orbs of light, instantly dispelling the dim night and illuminating the entire city of Fuyuki. Its momentum undiminished, it stretched across the entire sky, forming a river of stars.
Kirei Kotomine, in a frenzy of euphoria, and Kiritsugu Emiya, in despair and frustration, were both captivated by the starry river, their faces blank as they looked up in a daze.
