Lost Narrative Poetry

Maybe a story from another universe.

Cause and Effect, existing in the past and ultimately occurring in the future, is the story of a coward, a farewell poem to the abandonment of all the greatness he has achieved so far, the miracles he has achieved, the magic he has achieved, and so on.

Returning the favor received from God to Heaven again, losing the eyes to gaze at the world, and ushering in one's own death.

…

…

It is a singular point in the imaginary space that is isolated from the normal flow of time, where human history converted into magic power is gathered and integrated. The so-called "Time Crown Temple" is an inherent structure made by amplifying King Solomon's body. boundary--

Its structure, principle, and even essence can be said to be the same as Justeza Ritzleich von Einzbern's Great Holy Grail. The only difference lies in its scale.

The brutal battlefield fighting is coming to an end. Whether it is the heroic servants from the timeline of the past or the future, or the indescribably ferocious Demonic Pillar, they are all already risking their lives in a desperate fight, one after another. 's fallen.

This is an unfair war of attrition.

In the Time Crown Temple, the lair of the Demon God Pillars, not only has the increase and blessing of the inherent barrier, but also has an endless supply of magic power squeezed from the burning of human history. They can be endlessly generated, no matter they are defeated No matter how many times, it will appear again.

But the guardians of human nature, the heroes of the past and future, bring their own dry food.

They are not war machines with unlimited physical strength, infinite magic power, and never tire. They are able to kill here because of the line of "fate" with the last master of mankind. No matter how stubborn they are, they cannot change this. Once they are defeated, they will not be able to change it. There will definitely be a chance to reconnect.

In the same way, as long as the last master of mankind falls, everything will be in vain.

There are powerful legends with the ability to "appear alone", such as Wang Hassan, but there are too few such existences. Just relying on a few of them to appear here will not be able to turn things around and win. .

But the good thing is...

Someone stood up at the last moment and laid the foundation for victory, but the price was... his own death.

"O God, I want to return the blessings you have given me."

"Omnipotence is too far away for humans. My work is limited to the human realm."

After returning everything to the familiar line of sight in the void, Romani Aqiman was also rarely absent-minded. He stood there quietly, feeling both the long-lost relief and an inevitable sense of confusion. feel.

Having lost his eyes to stare at the world, he could no longer feel being watched. Although this was something he was used to, this time was different.

Dr. Roman knew very well that this loss would be permanent.

Speaking of which, will God be disappointed with this?

Such an idea arose in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it, because Dr. Roman knew very well that God didn't care.

He never interfered with his choices, and the only conversation he had was just asking him what he wanted in a dream, and because he longed for wisdom, he got "real wisdom."

That's all.

Even if your answer at that time does not satisfy God, there will be no problem. Whatever you want to get, your wish will still come true.

Just like now, the path I have chosen is the same, so God will probably just watch quietly...

That's good. Thinking of this, Dr. Roman finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

"...Are you going...to die?"

At this time, a sad voice sounded not far ahead, and a stumbling girl stumbled towards Dr. Roman with tears and lamentations.

Dr. Roman smiled. He had seen Ritsuka Fujimaru panic many times. After all, she was just an ordinary girl who was pushed to the shelves. She was just an ordinary person a year ago. It can be said that she was deceived into Caleb. bottom.

Originally, if everything went well, he could also be a substitute and wait to die, which would have been good.

It's a pity that fate played a trick, and due to a combination of circumstances, all the official personnel ended up in an unknown fate. Instead, it was this candidate who made up the number, who bravely took on all the responsibilities and got to where he is now step by step. .

Sure enough, it was still too forced for her.

"Yeah. Although it's scary and sad, it's something I can do. So, even if it's hard, I have to do it."

Dr. Roman nodded and said this with a relaxed expression.

"That's enough. This choice was taught to me by you and Matthew."

He could feel that everything about him was being lost, just like the body he had obtained by making a wish to the Holy Grail. At this moment, it was fading from time and space, just like the type was being wiped by an eraser. Every time it was wiped, the traces would disappear. A little lighter.

He is losing his connection with the world. When the anchor point completely disappears, it will naturally be the time for him to leave.

"Too cunning..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka could not hide her sadness. She had obviously reached this point and had seen the last light, but an important person had to die at the last moment before dawn... She hated such bloody stories!

It’s really too bloody, so I hate it the most!

However.

After all, this won't change anything -

"Using a limited life, facing the existence of death and separation. Knowing that the end will come, but constantly repeating the existence of separation and encounter."

After a few simple conversations with Goetia, who was on the verge of collapse, lost both strength and authority, was unprecedentedly weak and hysterical, the doctor, who found that he couldn't understand his magic formula, sighed and lost interest in continuing.

He turned around, smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, and said his last words.

"... Brilliant, a journey as fleeting as the stars. This is a story called love and hope."

The next moment, his blurred and faded body finally completely lost its stable outline.

The spirit son lost its stable structure and scattered in all directions like light particles. It turned into thousands of winds and disappeared with the wind, no longer existing.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood there blankly, uncontrollably sad, her eyes were red and her nose was sore. She clearly knew that the impression she had at the beginning was that of someone who would hide in the room to catch fish, and would secretly share snacks with her as a newcomer, and who would later grit his teeth and take on the responsibility of leading the entire Chaldea...

No longer there.

Wiping her red eyes fiercely, the girl turned around and said bitterly: "Ma Xiu! Let's go!!"

This is the last, we must take back the future of mankind!

…

…

come down.

The endless fall.

But it doesn’t seem to be caught in a bottomless quagmire. It’s more like walking through an extremely long tunnel. However, because there is no concept of time and space here, and no sense of direction and distance, it is difficult to distinguish up, down, left, right, and in all directions. …

Roman couldn't figure out for a while whether he was falling downwards with inertia, or whether he was being held up by some great force and ascending endlessly.

rise……

rise……

rise……

Where to go? Roman didn't know either, because he actually couldn't think anymore. His thinking seemed to be frozen. His soul, or something more essential, had an indescribable sense of sluggishness. He could only passively receive information and could not actively process it. .

In this state, I don't know how long has passed, maybe it was a moment, maybe it was hundreds of millions of years, Roman suddenly felt that the stagnation disappeared, and his thinking resumed operation. He seemed to finally open his eyes, and it seemed that He had kept his eyes open, but now the scenery came into view.

Then he was stunned.

Roman lowered his head and stared at his feet. It seemed to be a void, or like a rippling water surface. What was reflected in the fragmented sparkling waves were countless parallel time and spaces that were constantly intersecting. It was a scene so magnificent that it was indescribable.

Countless vast universes are looming, billions of stars are shining with the light of mysterious celestial bodies, stars are burning and releasing endless light and heat, and magnificent nebulae are nurturing dazzling galaxies, which are spiraling quietly in the course of hundreds of millions of years. Milky Way…

Everything is of unimaginable beauty and grandeur.

It's like countless mirrors, broken into countless fragments. Each fragment reflects a unique angle and light and shadow. At the same time, it also reflects the light and shadow of other fragments. At the same time, other fragments also reflect the light and shadow of more fragments. Light and shadow reflect and reflect.

Ever since——

Countless mirrored corridors are superimposed together to form this complex place.

Roman felt like he was standing on the "water surface" of the infinite world. He suddenly realized it, as if some knowledge appeared inexplicably in his mind, letting him know... This is something that both exists and does not exist. Existence, a world line beyond all possibilities.

The abode of the Supreme God…

The outside of everything that is isolated from all time, space, and all cause and effect...

The seat of the Creator who governs all, creates all, and transcends all…

-Here is...all of the above.

Opening his mouth, Roman shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. If God wanted to see him, then it would be no wonder.

Although it stands to reason that after the final Noble Phantasm is activated, all traces of himself will be completely wiped out from the world. It does not simply mean that traces of activities have disappeared, but that all achievements have come to an end.

There is no longer any need to defeat him, nor is there any need to rely on him.

No one will seek Him anymore, no one will have to bear His death, no one will look to Him for help and results beyond this.

That’s why he disappeared completely. Even the Throne of Heroes will no longer have any records, because the appearance of King Solomon and the achievements of King Solomon will never appear on the earth again. He personally allowed his existence to be completely wiped out. It has reached the end of "nothing".

but……

Nothing can disobey God’s will. God will see whomever he wants to see.

After gathering himself and solving his doubts, Roman became a little uneasy. He looked around, and then he immediately saw a figure.

It seemed like it had always been there, but he suddenly noticed it now.

It is an illusory spirit that cannot be defined by existence or non-existence, and cannot be measured by logical thinking. Even Roman could only see an outline that seemed to be an illusion. Everything else left no impression and he couldn't distinguish the details.

"He" just stood quietly on the water of the infinite world, calmly overlooking the interlacing and changes of thousands of dimensions.

The rotation of nations, the rise and fall of all things, everything is reflected in those eyes.

Roman was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think too much.

Because he had never seen God before, even in his dream he only heard a voice that sounded like an apocalypse. Moreover, it is natural for him to not be able to see the true face of God. After all, "people cannot see my face."

He stood there hesitating for a while, then slowly walked forward with some anxiety.

Roman didn't know what this feeling was. He had never experienced family affection or the like. As a child dedicated to God by King David, he was born perfect and destined to be a "king".

He is unmoved in his heart and is a non-human being deprived of the freedom to feel people's joys and sorrows.

It wasn't until he became a human that he finally gained the humanity of a human named "Roman".

But precisely because he was no longer Solomon, he could not maintain his former calmness and composure when facing God again.

"...God, I'm back."

Walking hesitantly to the side of the illusory spirit, Dr. Roman braved his courage and said, God knows, he has never been so nervous before when he died generously, just like in the hands of a child who came home. Holding the paper that I didn't pass the test, I wanted to sign it for my parents.

no answer.

God is just quietly looking down at all the creatures in the sky, not knowing what he is thinking.

But as long as you speak, the next thing will be easy to handle. Roman didn't think about it anymore. He started to talk: "Before I died, according to your instructions, I left a golden ring as a distant gift to the future. …”

The initial anxiety and uneasiness gradually disappeared as he gradually became more fluent in his narration. He was describing everything he had done——

Whether he was a wise, kind, and philanthropic king who was deeply loved by the people and governed the country, or he was active on the stage of the Holy Grail War as a heroic spirit, or he had a strong desire to "become a human" and felt that Make a wish to obtain a physical body...

Self-disciplined, proud, willful.

All his emotions, including human nature and weakness, were rare and he spoke them out one by one to the God in his heart like a child without any reservation.

God listened quietly and said nothing.

It was as if his consciousness had fallen into a deep sleep, and he seemed not to care at all.

"That's it, I return all the blessings you gave me..."

I don't know how long it took before Roman's story came to an end. He realized that he had talked so much and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"This is the only thing I can do, and it is also something I have to do. But you must be very disappointed if you make a mess of things..."

At this time, God finally made a move.

God turned around, looked at the troubled man, and asked calmly: "'Roman', what do you think of this name?" "

The doctor was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He said nervously: "This name... this name, I think it's very good. "Romantic" is such a beautiful word. It is a concept that did not exist in my time. . "

“What do you think about ‘Solomon’? "

"..."

"..."

After being silent for a long time, the doctor showed a somewhat bitter smile: "I think... I still like 'Roman' better." "

"Even if this second period of life doesn't make you feel the so-called "happiness and fulfillment of being a human being" at all? "God smiled softly.

Roman longed to become a human being, longed to live as an ordinary person, but what happened was contrary to his wishes——

He has never enjoyed human freedom, and the burden of saving humanity is always oppressing him. His hellish patience allowed him to learn everything he could, working day and night for Chaldea, trying to do something before humanity was destroyed.

"Yes."

The doctor nodded nervously. Even so, even though it might offend God, he still liked it now more.

"..."

"..."

A brief moment of silence.

"That's it..."

The god sighed softly, but stretched out his hand and gave the doctor a gentle push on the shoulder.

"So be it! But I don't like owing things to others, and you don't have to pay me back your things."

"Eh--!!"

For a moment, he felt as if he was falling rapidly under the acceleration of gravity, and a sound like the whistling of the wind came from his ears. The doctor who had already developed humanity and emotions couldn't help but scream in fear, what is going on? !

Did you answer it wrong?

Or is it that God is disappointed and wants to punish himself? !

"I said, you can't die here yet."

God's voice sounded leisurely in his ears, and there seemed to be a hint of...

A teasing smile?

…

…

Bang!

He fell heavily on the solid ground, and the solid impact made Roman dizzy for a moment. However, after a while, he carefully opened his eyes and found that he seemed to be lying on a flat and smooth lawn.

In a very relaxed position.

It was as if everything just now was an illusion.

Blinking his eyes, he sat up in a daze and looked around blankly. He found that it seemed to be noon, the warm sunshine was shining on the lawn, and not far away was the park square with the fountain... He seemed to be in In a park in an unknown city?

Children running around and playing, adults talking and laughing...

Everything is so peaceful and natural, yet so rare.

Almost subconsciously, Roman activated his clairvoyance. Although he had returned all the benefits of heaven before, just now, it seemed that everything had come back... Just as God said, but he didn't quite understand what it meant. .

Could it be that he felt that what was given to him was his own, and his act of returning it made God very angry.

Roman could only think this way, and at this moment, he also saw the reality of this world through clairvoyance... It was the world after the restoration of human psychology, and history returned to the ordinary and normal 2016!

Is that so?

It's really great!

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that God was not angry, nor was he displeased with his willful thoughts. Instead, he generously gave himself "freedom" and allowed himself to live in a completely restored world without having to bear any royal responsibilities. responsibility?

That's right! That must be it!

Roman thought happily.

Then at the next moment, the clairvoyance that continues to activate captures a further time period in the future...

A huge time gap has appeared, the roots of fantasy have taken root, the signal from the sky has been cut off, the surface of the earth is covered with ice, and the planet has fallen into loneliness. The phenomenon of filtering the strange history, the planet that was invaded and turned into a blank...

His expression quickly solidified and became stiff. Why did this expansion look familiar? It felt like déjà vu.

He looked up at the sky, feeling that the sunshine that was very warm just now seemed...

A bit dazzling
