Joan of Arc saw things very clearly, and she understood how conflicted Lin Ye was about to face this problem.
"Tch, what a boring question." Gilgamesh didn't care at all. In his eyes, whichever side he chose to save was a favor to that side. As for the group that was abandoned...
What right do they have to condemn the king!
At that moment, they also looked at Lin Ye on the screen, hoping to know what his choice would be. Would he choose 200 people? Or 300?
"I won't choose either (ajd). A person's value cannot be measured by quantity," Lin Ye said. He smashed the television in front of him with his fist, then spoke to the void, "No one has the right to decide someone else's fate, and no one can decide my choices! If it were me, I wouldn't let the world be destroyed, nor would I let these 500 people sit on two boats! That is fate!"
I am destiny!
Seeing Lin Ye's choice, everyone present had a bright look in their eyes.
"Hahahaha! As expected of you!" Jin Shanshan laughed. That's right, this is the Lin Ye she knows. The trolley problem? What a load of rubbish! Someone wants to tie six people to two different tracks, so why don't I just kill the kidnappers beforehand?
Why should I choose?! Why should I listen to your choice?!
"This..." Waver, witnessing this scene, was completely taken aback by Lin Ye's words. "This is foul! But... am I destiny?" In that instant, all the Heroic Spirits present recalled their stories with Lin Ye, except for Iskandar...
What was their original fate?
Gilgamesh did not find the elixir of immortality?
Did Diarmuid die under the hooves of a wild boar, a fate foretold by destiny?
Artoria watched as Great Britain was destroyed.
Was Bai Mausoleum forced to watch helplessly as the old man in the mountains was slaughtered?
Was Joan of Arc destined to be crucified and reduced to ashes?
Why? Why should they follow the trajectory of fate? Why should they only be able to submit to the arrangements of destiny?
And then Lin Ye appeared, showing them through his actions that their fate could be changed! This is the true Lin Ye!
"Haha! Well done!" Iskandar kept patting Lin Ye on the shoulder, looking at him with considerable admiration. "Come on! Work with me! Once I conquer the world, you'll be second only to me!"
"Get lost! Why should I be subordinate to you?"
Lin Ye slapped Iskandar's hand away; he didn't like being on the bottom, especially on a man's bottom.
Iskandar withdrew his hand with a regretful expression, then scratched his head and continued watching. [Hearing Lin Ye's words, the Evil of This World was clearly stunned. He didn't know what to choose for a moment, and could only continue the demonstration according to his original idea. Boom! Boom!]
With two loud booms/whooshes, both ships sank directly into the sea. Only then did the voice of the evil of this world ring out once more: "Look, because you had no choice, all these people died. Now, you are the only one left in this world... isn't this peace?"
Good heavens, what a world peace!
This is world nuclear peace!
Kenneth: "In a sense, the Holy Grail wasn't wrong. The world is indeed at peace, truly at peace."
"But this is not Lin Ye's intention at all!" Weberville said.
Irisviel: "That's right, Lin Ye. Why is this happening? Although the wish was fulfilled in the end, the process was completely wrong."
After listening to what these people were saying, Lin Ye glanced at them and continued.
"Because... this is the Holy Grail, this is the evil of this world! You wish to become the tallest in the world, and it will help you kill everyone taller than you! You wish to become the strongest in the world, and it will help you kill everyone more handsome than you! Even if you are the shortest and ugliest, as long as it kills everyone else, your wish can still be granted! It is no longer an omnipotent wish-granting machine, it is just a machine that destroys the world!"
As Lin Ye said this, he then directly simulated the final scene!
[boom!
Lin Ye's body was thrown out by the Holy Grail, and a huge black hole appeared in the sky, with countless black mud pouring down!
At this moment, Lin Ye also shouted to the King!
"My king! Slay this fellow!"
"Hmm." Our King nodded, then directly picked up Excalibur and swung it at the Holy Grail!
boom!
The Holy Grail was shattered, and the black filth flowing out of the black hole ceased. However, the filth that had already flowed out swallowed Gilgamesh's body!
Seeing this, Iskandar patted Gilgamesh on the shoulder happily and said, "Hahaha, Gilgamesh, how was it? How did it feel to swim in the black mud?"
Chapter 136 The Collapse of Tokiomi Tohsaka
Chapter 136 The Collapse of Tokiomi Tohsaka
Listening to Iskandar's words, Gilgamesh looked at him helplessly.
"You... stop gloating here. You didn't even show up in the final battle, so it's obvious you're all dead." Gilgamesh brought the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star with him this time, and he immediately recognized the King's Army that Iskandar possessed.
Without even thinking, he knew he had taken care of it himself. However, he still couldn't see through Lin Ye's true strength, which was why he remained curious about Lin Ye's abilities.
Iskandar already knew his original fate from Weber, but he said nonchalantly, "The past outcome doesn't represent the present. I'm very confident now."
"Tch, so what if they're confident? In the face of true strength, they'll just end up being wiped out." Gilgamesh said sarcastically without any politeness, but Iskandar didn't care at all.
"Wait a minute! Look!" Waver suddenly shouted. He seemed to finally understand why he and Iskandar had died in the Fifth Holy Grail War in the simulation! So that was the reason!
Gilgamesh's body was swallowed by the black mud, but it was not consumed by the mud. Instead, the evil of this world, having lost Angra Mainyu, began to repeat various words: "Greed! Pride! Lust! Sloth! Envy! Wrath! Gluttony! All the evils of this world should be judged! Denied! Destroyed!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Die! Die! Die! Only in this way can we atone for their sins!"
A cacophony of chaotic and violent sounds erupted from the black mud, yet Gilgamesh opened his eyes and uttered only one word: "Yes."
In an instant, the entire interior of the black mud fell silent. How could this be! How could any other sound come from here!
But then, this discordant voice appeared. And so, these curses coalesced into a single sound!
"What is right? Who can acknowledge it? Who can permit it? And who will bear the burden of all the world's sins?"
The only response to this black mud was Gilgamesh's disdainful mockery. And one sentence from Gilgamesh!
"The king acknowledges! The king permits! The king will bear the weight of the entire world!"
"What is a king?" Black Mud asked again.
But their response was still Gilgamesh's even more disdainful voice!
"What a foolish question! Listen carefully! I am the king!"
"This... is he so self-centered that even the evil of this world cannot taint him in the slightest?" Diarmuid was stunned. He had never seen such a self-centered being before, but he had to admit that Gilgamesh was truly admirable.
Even Iskandar, who always liked to criticize Gilgamesh, couldn't help but exclaim, "You really stick to your own path of kingship? Hahaha!"
"You're like this, but it only makes me want to conquer you even more!"
"Ha, as a king, isn't it only natural to uphold his own kingly way?"
As Jin Shanshan said this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and in fact, there really wasn't.
Hearing Gilgamesh's words, the evil of this world fell silent. They were actually a whole, and whoever was devoured by them would also become part of the whole. However, Gilgamesh's existence was completely different!
Gilgamesh's kingly way is absolute control. He absolutely does not allow himself to be assimilated by others. Thus, the two fell into a state of contradiction. The black mud did not devour Gilgamesh. Instead, it was devoured by Gilgamesh in large quantities. Then, the black mud could not stand it for a moment and spat Gilgamesh out.
At this moment, Gilgamesh stood naked on the ground. He had actually gained a physical body by relying on the power of the black mud!
Feeling his own body, Gilgamesh laughed—a laugh directed at all those who pursued the Holy Grail.
"They actually treat something like that as a magic wish-granting machine? This... is truly a laughable theatrical performance."
Lin Ye stopped projecting the image at this point, and everyone who saw it fell silent.
If it weren't for the Gilgamesh clip that Lin Ye played later, they might still have doubted the authenticity of the projection, but now it seems that Lin Ye was right.
..............
"How can it be!!"
In an instant, Tokiomi Tohsaka sat frozen on the ground, completely stunned. He was the one most devastated of all! The Holy Grail! Over two hundred years of his family's hard work! And it had all come to this!
"This isn't real...this isn't real...."
Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes lost their luster. He, who had always maintained an elegant demeanor, could no longer keep up his composure of having everything under control. He now felt like a clown!
However, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't see it. As Kirei Kotomine watched the scene of black mud burning Fuyuki City, he couldn't help but smile.
He seemed to have awakened something he shouldn't have.
.......
"This scene... is so delightful."
On the other side, Irisviel's reaction wasn't much better. It wasn't that she had any wishes she wanted to fulfill, but she was a created miniature Grail; her purpose was to bring about the Grail's descent.
Now you're telling her that her whole life was spent fighting for a disgusting mess? How could that not break her?
"Alice...it's okay."
Seeing Irisviel's low spirits, the King gently comforted her. Fortunately, because of Lin Ye, she wasn't so obsessed with the Holy Grail, so she wasn't too sad.
As for Kenneth and Webber, although they were shocked, they were not particularly downcast.
