A series of explosions erupted in the dark universe, and then slowly dissipated like fireworks.
Shengyu stared at the screen in front of her carefully. After a moment, she turned around and bowed to Fang Zheng.
"Report to the commander, the target has been completely destroyed."
"Um... RULER, what about you?"
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Jeanne was stunned for a moment, then she quickly closed her eyes and nodded after a moment.
"...Confirmed that all the Red Servant and Master have disappeared."
"What... is this the end?"
Hearing Jeanne's answer, Xiao Hei put on a bored expression, while Fang Zheng glanced at her.
"Why? Do you have any objection?"
"Of course, big brother, this is the final battle of the Holy Grail War! We have made all the preparations. According to the rhythm of the animation and comics, what follows is a desperate battle, and then defeating each enemy, and finally returning home happily with the Holy Grail. In the middle, there will be dozens of chapters of memories! But you just throw the enemy into the universe and kill it in seconds. What does that mean!"
“I’m not acting in a TV show.”
Facing Xiao Hei's complaints, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Why go through all that danger when I can easily win? If I can't kill those guys instantly, then why did I spend so much effort to summon these warships?"
Why waste time when you can win?
“Oh… that’s right…”
Xiao Hei was also unable to accept Fang Zheng's answer. The expressions of the people around him were also a little subtle. Although it was not nice to say this, in fact, they had prepared for the other party to fight to the death before this, but since Fang Zheng summoned these three warships... this Holy Grail War has slid in a direction that no one except Fang Zheng could have predicted.
"Anyway, now that we've gotten it done, let's go back."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng summoned the Lord of Unsealing again, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to Earth from outside the solar system.
"I can feel... the Greater Holy Grail is about to activate..."
Jeanne raised her head and looked at the Holy Grail floating in the air behind Fang Zheng. At this moment, it was emitting a soft light, and the brilliance and power were getting stronger and stronger. Then...
"Master, I detected a high-energy reaction inside that unidentified object..."
"I understand, Nymph, leave it to me."
Fang Zheng naturally felt this as well. After absorbing the souls of all the other servants, the power of the Holy Grail had reached a critical point. All it needed was a key to open the door to the Origin Vortex. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the Holy Grail. Then Fang Zheng turned around and smiled at everyone.
"Well, I'll be back soon."
"...Be careful on your journey, Master."
Looking at Fang Zheng's back, Nymph was obviously a little worried, but she just stood there and gave Fang Zheng her blessings.
"Don't worry, Nymph, I will be back."
Realizing Nymph's mood, Fang Zheng smiled at her. The next moment... the Holy Grail split in the middle. The dazzling light instantly engulfed Fang Zheng completely.
The first thing that catches your eye is an endless field of flowers.
"Is this the interior of the Greater Holy Grail? By the way, this should be the first time I see the normal Greater Holy Grail."
Looking at the plain full of flowers and the blue sky, Fang Zheng sighed softly. At this moment, the air around him suddenly trembled, and then a ball emitting blue light appeared out of thin air in front of Fang Zheng. Seeing this blue ball of light, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.
"What a shame, Gaia, your last effort also failed."
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's sarcasm, the blue ball of light said nothing.
"Most magi may not realize that you have been interfering in the Holy Grail War behind the scenes... That's right, right? A hero who longs to redeem humanity, a hero who longs to save humanity, a hero who longs to save humanity. But what will happen after that? No matter what kind of hero they are, they are limited by their era, their knowledge, their civilization, and their moral standards. All they can think of is this kind of simple and crude thing."
Fang Zheng didn't seem to care about this. He just spread his hands and continued talking.
"And Alaya also knows this, which is why he makes every Holy Grail War end in failure. Even if he can't let humans reach the Origin Vortex, he will never let you win. It's really pitiful. The Masters and Servants of the Holy Grail Wars of all generations are basically your pawns, but unfortunately, the level of your arguments is too low."
In fact, as early as when he made the deal with Alaya, Fang Zheng had already seen through the nature of the Holy Grail War.
To put it simply, the Holy Grail War is a ritual in which humans desire to reach the Vortex of Origin through the third magic, and the so-called "universal wish-granting machine" does exist.
However, Gaia will certainly not allow humans to act so recklessly, and Gaia is not completely unable to stop it... She can even use this ritual to achieve her own goals.
Those are the Heroic Spirits, the Servants, the heroes of the past.
“I think, therefore I am.”
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at his head.
"Humans must first recognize their own existence before they know who they are, where they come from, and where they are going. Because of this, when a participant in the Holy Grail War defines the goal as 'all mankind', he is equivalent to erasing the unique personality of mankind and the recognition of individuals. The salvation of the 'whole' will be reduced to the complete extinction of the 'human' race. That is why you secretly interfere in the Holy Grail War and choose heroes who have noble aspirations, but were born in primitive society, slave society, feudal society, and have tragic life stories. Because they are relatively stupid, arrogant, and easy to be manipulated."
For example, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, or Black CASTER, or even MATSER like Emiya Kiritsugu. They are self-righteous and think that they will become saviors, but they don't know that this is why they become Gaia's pawns to destroy mankind.
"So those guys never understood, and that's why they had such a tragic ending. There has never been a savior, nor a god-like emperor. If we want to create a better life, we have to rely on ourselves in the end... The people, only the people are the real driving force behind the advancement of history. Only the people's ideas and needs can promote the progress of history. Well... I suggest that every time a heroic spirit descends, you should first read Marx, Lenin, Mao Zedong's Selected Works, Capital, etc., to understand what the main contradiction and secondary contradiction are, what class struggle is, and then consider your own wishes. Those who fail the political exam will not be allowed to descend."
“…”
The blue ball of light flickered, and then an illusory voice sounded.
"…Therefore, I hope to find a completely new path…"
"This is your final compromise... So, you need to travel more and see more so that you can gain more insights... Destroying humanity is not a good option. What you are doing will only drive you to your own doom. Humans are very tenacious creatures."
Having said this, Fang Zheng sighed, and then he looked at the blue ball of light again.
"Well, let's make a deal. As long as you promise not to destroy humanity, I can help you find a way to avoid being destroyed by humans. I will guide the humans of this world onto another path... Well, ecological protection and sustainable development are a must. Purity and supremacy have no future. Only harmonious development is the trend of the future."
“…”
The blue ball of light did not speak, but the next moment, in front of Fang Zheng, a huge sphere emitting a faint glow suddenly appeared. It quickly rotated and extended forward, opening up a path.
Into the infinite depths.
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"It seems that our deal is established."
