Chapter 121

"The sky...changed?"

When Abe Haruaki dropped from the sky into the battlefield, she was met with several pitch-black slashes - but these attacks were obviously not aimed at her who suddenly appeared. Before reaching her, the pitch-black slashes had lost the power to maintain their existence and dissipated into the air.

However, Abe Haruaki was already enraged by this attack.

"I'm angry." Abe Haruaki stated calmly, and magic from nature gathered towards her, "The world was still immature, like floating fat, like jellyfish, floating unsteadily, something like a reed sprout sprouted... When the reed field China was established, eight million gods came one after another to congratulate; all things have spirits, and all things are the masters of this world——"

"This is an invitation to a banquet for all creatures and demons—"

"A Hundred Demons Night Parade "hyakkiyakou". "

The Kikyo Seal that appeared in the air emitted a faint fluorescent light, opening the door to the Throne of Heroes for Abe Haruaki - and with the assistance provided by the world consciousness, many non-human Servants whose regions were determined to be "Japan" responded to the summons like a flood and appeared on this battlefield.

"Let's make it quick and get it done."

"Can we treat our opponents to a grand feast?"

"Let me show you what a real ghost looks like!"

"Then, draw your sword."

"The ears of rice are like the breeze, calming down gently."

…………

"Ae.AnS: I will force you to return after the Noble Phantasm is activated. Even with the assistance of the World Awareness, it still consumes a lot of mana to maintain so many servants in the present world at the same time - even if we don't solve the opponent, it's okay."

"The Castle of the White Heron, a pure barrier that protects the four directions. This is the secret rule of Takatsudori, and I am the Eight Heavens. Princess Gyobu of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, eternal glory for thousands of years!"

"It's not bad to be dead - a thousand purples and reds, the gods and ghosts. ... Huh. From the bones to the marrow, everything belongs to me."

"Kukuku... The right arm that was lost and found again after being broken by a treacherous scheme has turned into a monster! Run fast, Jungle Fire! Rashomon's great resentment arises!"

"At this border between the world of mortals and the underworld, learn of the fragility of things. With divine might, draw your sword, 'Divine Sword: Kusanagi no Tachi'."

"The cursed evil spirits that are rampant in this world will be purified and eliminated with my talisman. Water, sky, and sunlight will appear here!"

As the light of Tamamonomae's Noble Phantasm illuminated every inch of the battlefield, Abe Haruaki discovered a black substance on the broken walls of the ruins that was exactly the same as the one found in the Shibuya Anomaly. When the light of the stone shone on them, they disappeared before Abe Haruaki's eyes like snow melting in the sunlight.

As the second round of Noble Phantasm bombardment began, Abe Haruaki finally calmed down a little and began to review the few mission objectives he had simply listed before setting out. Based on the intelligence obtained from the previous exploration of the Shibuya anomaly, the people of Chaldea had made a very simple and rough summary of the development of this world.

——By solving the problem of Nose and the family of Ryoumen Sukuna who looks like a god, all the contradictions that could be used to advance the main story of this world have disappeared.

"...Is this a 'happy ending'?" Goldruf looked at the other directors with a suspicious look.

"As long as the story doesn't begin, there won't be a tragic ending." Lancer Melo answered Goldruf confidently, "Just like King Arthur didn't pull out the sword from the stone... No, as long as Merlin didn't exist, the story of the Knights of the Round Table would never have begun - because without Merlin, King Arthur wouldn't even have been born."

"If it doesn't have a bad ending, why can't it be a 'from then on, they lived happily ever after'?" Marisbury supported Lansemello's point of view, "It's like everyone knows that the ending of the fairy tale is that the princess and the prince lived happily ever after - but who cares about the possible sequel of the story?"

"That's the end of the story that people read, so of course the ending of the fairy tale is - 'happily ever after'."

"Indeed, after all, the problem of the curse is more like a necessary background setting..." Roman opened another document and highlighted a paragraph in the Shibuya Anomaly Exploration Report submitted by Fujimaru Ritsuka and the newly opened document, "Just like our world is always troubled by the problem of mysterious disappearance."

——Curses are born from the endless fear of mankind and cannot be completely eliminated; however, only sorcerers can exorcise curses and control the curses they create so that they do not become curse spirits.

——Concealment is the essence of magic. The more people know and use it, the more dispersed and weakened its power will be, so magicians will do their best to keep magic mysterious; but even if they try their best, with the development of civilization and the advancement of technology, the unknown knowledge of the human race is decreasing, and sooner or later the mystery will completely disappear in the development of civilization.

"In a sense, both of these problems are unsolvable." Da Vinci leaned over the back of the director's chair, stretched out his hand and poked Roman, instructing him to open the document recording the plan to rebuild the world. "Unless we rebuild it from scratch like we did, maybe there is still a possibility of change."

“But if the world has already developed to a certain level, then unless human evil emerges, it will never be solved… or in other words, humans will never be able to overcome this problem.”

"The problem of the disappearance of mystery is easy to solve. After all, with the advancement of technology, human civilization, human society, and the future of primates are constantly getting better, at least within a certain range." Lansermero sighed helplessly, "At least in the short term, there will be no human evil that holds "mystery" as a beastly principle."

"Unless the mystery fades and the earth is no longer suitable for human survival - then there will be such human evil that, in order to allow humans to move towards a better future, it will bare its fangs against such a life."

"I think there must be beings in that world who have met the conditions to become human evil." Fujimaru Ritsuka walked to the side of the directors and pointed to the computer desktop that had been modified into a world tree system after leaving the original planet. "But... human evil can only appear in the many branch worlds under the jurisdiction of Type-Moon."

"This is a system that is unique to our world—it is completely incompatible with other worlds."

“So…” Fujimaru Ritsuka took a piece of information from the table and stated his judgment in a firm tone, “This person would have ended up like that – after all, if this were our world, no matter if he was an anti-hero or something else, as long as his original goal was to save or protect something…”

"They will all be taken away by Alaya and made into guardians of humanity."

"Of course, it's not uncommon to regret and want to kill your past self to prevent this future."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook the information in his hand and handed it to Kirshtalia who was standing behind Marisbury. When Kirshtalia lowered her head, she saw a face printed on it that was the same as the one on the corpse occupied by the noose in the Shibuya anomaly, as well as some particularly bolded innocent ideals of adolescence.

——Spells exist to protect non-magicians.

——"Survival of the weak" is the proper form of society.

"Oh my... this person has finally been named and recognized by Alaya's Hyphen as a person worthy of being considered evil by humans."

"Lord." Kirshtalia calmly flipped through the data in his hand, and ran his thumb over a line of text representing the number of people who died. "If that world is compatible with our world's 'system' - do you think he will become the guardian of Alaya, or will he become an evil that must be overcome by humans?"

"He will become the evil of humanity." Lancer Merlot paused, mentioning the two completely different futures of the same person in the Throne of Heroes, "Just like Miyabi and Miyabi Alter - if it was before he had twisted his beliefs, I think he could have become a guardian."

"However, if he had not become a guardian before that, once his beliefs were irreversibly distorted, he would have been heading in the direction of human evil. Rather, it is precisely because he still 'loved' humans other than sorcerers that he chose to die like this in the end."

"He loved people like that, but he used every possible means and words to belittle them. But why didn't he kill anyone after that? You know, even if he was a magician, if he wanted to kill all non-magicians in the world... it would be easy to do with magic."

——Because the weapons created by humans with the help of technology are enough to destroy the world thousands of times, and the seven weapons of the Atlas Academy represent the ability to destroy the world seven times with magic.

"So, as the 'sky', what do you think, Kirsh?"

"...Anyway, the first priority is to deal with the noose—" Abe Haruaki shook his head, ended the continuous deployment of the first treasure, and retracted his thoughts to the battlefield in front of him, "By the way, where is this place? Oh, right, where is the world consciousness?"

"Lord Seimei--" The voice of the world* consciousness with a faint cry sounded in Abe Seimei's mind, "That... my child, has died--at the same time you entered this world. In addition, the murderer was just solved by you... The murderer was the cursed king, Ryomen Sukuna--"

“So this is the Ryomen Sukuna of your world!? No, that’s not right—” Abe Haruaki quickly moved his gaze, searching for traces of humans in the battlefield that was destroyed by the Servants’ Noble Phantasms. “Your child is dead? Doesn’t that mean the mission has failed before it even started? You must be kidding!?”

Suddenly, Abe Haruaki's sight moved to a certain direction and stopped - a corpse with only the waist below left standing upright in the ruins.

"That... is the body of your child?"

"Ah, yes, he was cut in half by the Cursed King Ryomen Sukuna." The world consciousness was also somewhat confused about the situation in front of it, "Should I send you back...?"

"No, wait for me to shake someone."

Abe Haruaki transformed into a spirit and left the battlefield. At the same time, he opened the chat room of the Grand Master that she had pinned to the top of the list and sent a message to his colleagues who remained in Chaldea.

"C.AnS: I came too late. The person I wanted to save just died. I used soul transfer to save him."
