Chapter 564 Another Day of Doing Good Things
At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya was undoubtedly in a very bad state.
Adam's Noble Phantasm took away his anti-human side and imposed corresponding punishments - the latter was an additional effect, which was obviously closely related to the several decisions Adam made in the Great Hall.
Facts have proved that sometimes after the elevation of the Throne of Heroes, the Noble Phantasm can really exert unexpected effects on the holder, such as the [People of the World, Hope to Lock God] that can induce restraint, and Adam's [The End of Human Reason].
Every minute and every second, Kiritsugu Emiya is enduring the pain that normal humans will never experience alive, which is the backlash from human reason.
Because of this, Kiritsugu Emiya did not do anything for such a long time just now without dying. Irisviel kept performing healing magic on him beside him, but the effect was very limited.
Because it was not an injury at all, it was just pure pain.
It can be considered as damage to have everything related to the slander of Enkidu erased from the root, but this kind of damage is obviously beyond the scope of the healing magic.
If even this level of injury can be healed, then it should be called healing magic. Maybe we can go to Asgard to heal Odin's eyes.
Several Heroic Spirits came to Emiya Kiritsugu's side. Irisviel couldn't help but hug her husband tightly and looked at Artoria.
She looked at Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Adam, who had shown extraordinary abilities several times. Artoria, who had been hollowed out by the sword of the Holy Sword, fell silent.
It's not that she doesn't want to help Irisviel. As her Master, Irisviel should know her current state better than her.
But no matter what, as a knight, she still has to protect her Master——
"Puff——"
A blade pierced through her chest. Artoria was stunned and lowered her head in disbelief. When she saw the blade, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
The intuition that had been tried and tested lost its effect at this moment. Before she could say anything, Artoria, whose spiritual base was directly destroyed, turned into a spirit particle and dissipated on the spot.
Merlin frowned as he watched from the side:
"Even if you want Altria to leave, you don't have to do this, right?"
It's okay to attack from behind, but you used the [Sword of the King of Brilliance]... He knew that Adam had brought some private goods when analyzing the treasures in the King's Treasure!
"You also know that the identity of the Holy Sword of the Star is unreasonable. Who knows if she will suddenly explode?"
Adam waved his hand:
"Don't worry, these are just trivial matters. In fact, our original goal has been achieved."
Their original goal was to test the tolerance of the inhibitory force to their influence. As a result, it turned out that if they entered the Type-Moon world through the channel recognized by the inhibitory force, the tolerance limit of the inhibitory force would become quite loose.
As for the part where they fought against all the evils in this world before, one of them might have directly created a singularity, but the inhibitory force still did not react when it was triggered, and did not even cast a glance in this direction.
"Instead of feeling heartbroken for Altria, it's better to think about what kind of life you want to give Altria - there are not many opportunities for trial and error in this matter."
Even if the tolerance of inhibition is relatively high, it seems that the original plan can be carried out normally without worrying about the interference of inhibition.
But neither Adam nor Merlin can think that inhibition can be tested casually, so as to touch the bottom line of inhibition or dance freely within this range.
Once you have the idea of testing the bottom line of inhibition, the fate of inhibition is inevitable. It is enough to test that what they do will not attract inhibition, and then they must do it according to this limit.
"...That's right."
Merlin took a deep breath. This is indeed the key thing.
He wants to give Altria a happy life, even if there is only one Altria, but the question is...what is a happy life?
"People's definition of happiness will change. As long as there is a choice, people will regret it."
Adam bluntly pointed out the key point:
"I remember you said that you told Altria about the future after she pulled out the sword of oath and victory. She accepted it at the time, but she still regretted it when the time came."
If Merlin wanted to give Altria a perfect life without regrets, Adam would not play house with him.
Happiness is like the carrot hanging in front of the donkey, but this carrot can be bitten from time to time when the donkey moves forward.
When the donkey really eats the carrot, the donkey will not move forward, which is why Adam did not implement the so-called "perfect world" plan.
Merlin here fell into deep thought. He actually had a rough draft in his mind, but if he really wanted to implement it, he would definitely not be able to change it, so he must think about the details clearly.
On the other side, Adam let Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu go.
Adam was kindhearted. For the sake of the widowed mother and the orphan girl, he would not forcefully kill Kiritsugu Emiya, especially since Irisviel, as the Lesser Holy Grail, would not live long.
Although he was brought back to the Einzbern family, Kiritsugu Emiya was destined not to wake up. If he could wake up, he would probably beg Irisviel to kill him.
There are still three Heroic Spirits left, and the huge burden has made Irisviel, the Little Holy Grail, a little unable to hold on, but the current state can more or less delay for a few more days.
The kind-hearted Adam also generously let her go back to spend the last period of time with her family, whether to take care of her husband or entrust her daughter.
Adam generously promised that unless Irisviel herself could not bear it, he would not let Gilgamesh and Enkidu return to increase the burden on each other, leaving the most time for each other.
Gilgamesh & Enkidu: Yes, yes, don't be anxious.
Although facing the culprit who caused her husband to become what he is now, Irisviel is not so crazy, and she also knows how dirty her husband's methods are.
Normally, participating in a Holy Grail War is a battle between Servants, and the Master is generally not in great danger.
It can be said that Kiritsugu Emiya has been made into what he is now, not to say that he deserves it, but it can be regarded as a retribution for his evil deeds. Even when Kiritsugu Emiya took out a sniper rifle, Adam did not kill him.
"Thank you very much!"
When Irisviel walked back to the castle holding Emiya Kiritsugu, her face was full of tears of gratitude.
Merlin, who watched the whole process outside the illusion, felt that his thoughts were disrupted.
"Alas, it's another day of doing good things. I feel that the ruby button on my chest is shining."
Adam touched the button on his windbreaker and turned it into ruby material.
Merlin: ...
He always admired Adam's state of not knowing whether he was really unconscious or thick-skinned.
Even he, Mei Tianli, felt inferior when facing Adam.
