Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

In the Type-Moon world, magicians often view ordinary people as tools or resources rather than equal beings.

As long as it is possible to fulfill the magicians' long-cherished wish.

They don't care even if more humans are sacrificed.

It is all too common for magicians to encounter experimental failures in their quest for the truth.

If sacrificing human lives can lead to a path to the root, then in the eyes of these magicians, these human sacrifices are noble and necessary.

It is precisely because of his understanding of the group of magi that Kiritsugu Emiya is certain that even if old man Eubusta Kuhaid knows that the Holy Grail is contaminated, he will not give up obtaining the Holy Grail.

As long as we can reproduce the third law, we can achieve the great feat of "materialization of the soul" and "perpetual motion of the soul".

Even if the Holy Grail is contaminated, the fulfillment of the wish will bring disaster to the surrounding area, so what does that have to do with the Einzbern family?

As long as the Holy Grail can be obtained, what the summoned Holy Grail is used for is no longer a matter of consideration.

Just like humans don't remember how much bread they have eaten.

Magicians also have no pity for the lives of ordinary humans.

This kind of extreme idea, which seems to be outrageous to ordinary humans, is common among magicians.

Even I, the "Magician Killer", am the same.

Even though he scoffs at the methods of orthodox magicians, he regards magic as a means to complete tasks and considers himself a magician.

But Emiya Kiritsugu knew that he was still a magus at heart, using his human body to pursue things that were unattainable by humans.

The original dream was to create a world where everyone can laugh.

A peaceful world without war and sorrow.

But as time goes by and experience accumulates, I gradually realize the cruelty of reality and the unattainability of ideals.

People have limits, and sometimes they have to make painful choices.

In the face of greater disasters, a few lives have to be sacrificed in order to save the majority.

Life is equal, regardless of age or status; “one” is its only unit.

In order to save even one more life, the measurer must give up the other option.

Sacrifice the few to save the many.

Even if it means killing one of his relatives to save many strangers, he will do it.

Fairly compare the value of all people's lives and reduce the amount of lamentations in the world more and more accurately.

Xia Lei (childhood sweetheart), Emiya Norika (father), and Natalia (adoptive mother) are repeatedly forced to make choices between a few people they are close to and the majority of people who are irrelevant to them. They face the "trolley problem" again and again, and deal with the various problems they encounter in a rigid way.

Until he learned that there was a "universal cauldron" in the world that could fulfill all wishes.

In order to end the tragedy that keeps repeating like a spiral, in order to realize his ideal of saving the world and creating a world where everyone can laugh, Kiritsugu Emiya resolutely chooses to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Even though he knew that Irisviel would die after the Holy Grail finally descended, he still resolutely set out on the path of saving the world.

But if the Holy Grail is contaminated, all wishes will go in the worst direction.

Then...can it still realize its wish?

A trace of confusion flashed across Emiya Kiritsugu's hollow and dim eyes.

But facing another Master, he couldn't show his inner weakness.

Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was still low and firm, and his inner trembling could not be detected: "Thank you very much for sharing the information. It is very important to us. Sorry, because the information is too important, we need to confirm its accuracy immediately, so I will not disturb you for now."

After Emiya Kiritsugu finished speaking, he prepared to leave the Matou residence with Irisviel and Saber.

The information provided by the other party was too shocking. He could not judge the authenticity of the information they said, so he needed to investigate it himself to get the answer.

Chen Yu nodded in understanding. He knew that under such circumstances, Kiritsugu Emiya and others would need time to digest and verify the news.

“Are you planning to leave now? Aren’t you planning to take Miss Maiya back with you?”

Chen Yu's reminder made Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel, and Saber pause in their steps.

Chen Yu stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Maiya, who had been in a coma on the second floor, was pulled up by magic. After opening the window, she slowly floated towards Emiya Kiritsugu and others.

Chen Yu had no intention of taking Maiya as a hostage to force Emiya Kiritsugu to make a decision from the beginning.

He knew that for someone like Emiya Kiritsugu, it didn't make much difference whether he had hostages or not.

Just as Gilgamesh is looking forward to Kotomine Kirei's awakening of "joy", Chen Yu is also looking forward to whether Emiya Kiritsugu can deviate from the development of the original work and make a different choice after learning the truth about the contamination of the Holy Grail in advance.

Seeing Maiya floating in from the second-floor window, Saber stretched out her hands and caught Maiya.

After a quick check, he found that apart from being unconscious, his vital signs were still intact.

Looking at Maiya who was still in a coma, Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber felt a little embarrassed.

They were all upset by the information provided by Chen Yu and almost forgot the original purpose of their trip.

Seeing Saber catch Maiya, Chen Yu waved his hand, turned around and walked into the house.

"Yaya, see the guest off."

"Yes."

Following Chen Yu's instructions, Matou Kariya responded respectfully, then walked towards Emiya Kiritsugu and others and sent them out of the Matou residence.

Saber held Maiya in a princess hug, and together with Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel, they slowly left the Matou residence under the leadership of Kariya.

It was late at night, and the moonlight shone on the road outside the mansion, adding a sense of tranquility and mystery to the scene.

The thoughts in Emiya Kiritsugu's mind were as complicated as the stars in the night sky.

The information provided by Chen Yu was like a meteorite, falling on the calm lake of his heart, causing ripples one after another.

He knew very well that if the Holy Grail was really contaminated, then all his plans and goals would face unprecedented challenges.

But Emiya Kiritsugu is not a person who gives up easily. After a brief moment of confusion, his eyes quickly regained their firmness.

Emiya Kiritsugu walked in front in silence.

“Kiritsugu, what should we do next?” Irisviel asked softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Emiya Kiritsugu stopped and turned around. His eyes looked particularly firm in the night.

"We must verify the information provided by the other party as soon as possible," he said, "If the Holy Grail is really contaminated, then everything we have done must be reconsidered."

“Kiritsugu…” Irisviel called softly, her voice sounding especially gentle in the night, “But no matter what the outcome is, we will face it together.”

Saber nodded in agreement.
