Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Divine Child

At this moment, on the screen, after watching the Fifth Holy Grail War and Shirou Emiya's experiences, many people were praising Shirou Emiya.

But there were also many who believed Shirou Emiya relied on luck and were dissatisfied.

Among them, the most radical comments came from Gilgamesh and Shinji Matou.

[Bullet Comments]

[Gilgamesh: A mere upstart who won by sheer luck!]

[Gilgamesh: If I hadn't underestimated him earlier, if it weren't for the interference of the black mud, if it weren't for Archer's rescue at the end, how could that faker have defeated me!]

[Shinji Matou: What 'righteous partner'? He's just an old-fashioned goody-two-shoes who doesn't know any better!]

[Shinji Matou: But that's all he is, what's there to boast about?!]

Looking at these bullet comments, the other normal viewers fell silent, clearly not wanting to engage with them.

Soon, the entire light screen was filled with such comments.

Amidst this flood of comments, the huge light screen in the sky flickered several times, and finally, a brand new title appeared.

[The Man Who Conquered the Holy Grail War in a Single Night - The Emiya Colossus!!!]

[Emiya Shirou is a second-year student in the high school division of Homurahara Academy.]

[His adoptive father is Emiya Kiritsugu; and his adoptive mother is Irisviel von Einzbern.]

[Emiya Shirou, a young man with a heavy past. He is the sole survivor of the disastrous Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.]

[A profound promise with his adoptive father made him determined to become a champion of justice. However, his tragic childhood experience left him with an almost obsessive compulsion to save lives, which also became a source of endless distress for him.]

[In this world, the Holy Grail War is no longer the traditional ritual where seven Masters summon Servants to fight.]

[Instead, participants must use Servant cards to transform themselves into heroic spirits, personally entering the battlefield and engaging in brutal combat.]

[In this brutal fight, only one person can survive.]

At this moment, as the video introduction slowly unfolded, all the viewers' eyes were fixed on Shirou Emiya on the screen.

They were very familiar with Shirou Emiya and the Holy Grail War.

However, the information displayed on the light screen at this moment surprised them.

The Holy Grail War in this world was completely different from the ones they knew!

In their understanding, the Holy Grail War should be a battle where Masters and Servants fight side by side. Yet, the scene before them completely subverted their perception—the participants themselves had to enter the fray and fight the enemy to the death.

[Bullet Comments]

[Magical Girl Illya: Using Servant cards to master their power and then personally fighting... it seems similar to ours.]

[Illya: (Wait,) When did I become a magical girl?]

[Merlin: A parallel world? Is this happening in another world?]

[Magical Girl Illya: Yes, it's completely different from the world shown on the light screen before. Even the Fourth Holy Grail War never happened here.]

[Emiya Kiritsugu: Amazing. If the Fourth Holy Grail War never happened, then those tragedies never occurred either?]

[Magical Girl Illya: You could say that, but this world has its own events too.]

Just as everyone in the bullet comments was very interested in this new parallel world and discussing it, the light screen began to flicker.

[In the city, a terrifying red vortex appeared. This vortex kept expanding and swallowed the people around it.]

[Emiya Kiritsugu led Emiya Shirou away from this dangerous place, but the next moment, the black vortex was suddenly enveloped by a ray of light, and then the black vortex vanished completely.]

[Emiya Shirou went to the center of the black vortex to check the situation, but he only saw a girl with red pupils, standing there like a god.]

["You are..." Just as Emiya Shirou was about to speak...]

[The pillars of the house in front of him began to break and fall towards the girl. Emiya Shirou immediately ran over, praying loudly in his heart: "Please, please don't collapse first!"]

[The next moment, the world seemed to freeze, and only after Shirou carried the girl out of the ruins did the house begin to collapse.]

[Emiya Kiritsugu, who was driving the car, gradually developed a complex and profound expression. He spoke slowly, his tone revealing an indescribable excitement and determination: "Perhaps... we have truly found the divine child of the Sakatsuki family, the one who can grant the wishes of others indiscriminately. I will use this child's power to save all of humanity on this land."]

[Emiya Shirou sat beside him, listening quietly to his adoptive father's words, a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes. He seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to fall into deeper confusion.]

[Bullet Comments]

[Emiya Kiritsugu: In another world, do I also hold the ideal of saving all mankind?]

[Gilgamesh: Just the delusion of an ignorant and naïve fool!]

[Waver Velvet: And to be honest, using such a little girl feels wrong... and granting wishes indiscriminately... isn't that a humanoid Holy Grail?]

[Magical Girl Illya: Is Miyu the humanoid Holy Grail?]

[Rin Tohsaka: It's impossible to grant wishes without a price, right? Then, what is the price?]

While everyone was discussing, the light screen continued to flicker.

[Although he possessed Miyu's power, Kiritsugu Emiya was unable to fulfill his wish before his death.]

[Five years later, time passed quickly. Shirou Emiya and Miyu began a warm life together. They took care of each other, supported each other, and spent many beautiful days together.]

[However, beneath this peace and beauty, Shirou Emiya's heart was often filled with confusion and bewilderment. He often recalled Kiritsugu Emiya's calm yet profound words: "You also know the price of making a wish. But don't make a mistake, Shirou. We want to save all of mankind, not just the little life before us."]

[These words, like invisible shackles, bound his heart.]

[At this moment, the two were looking up at the starry sky, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Shirou Emiya's heart was full of confusion and struggle. He couldn't understand Kiritsugu Emiya's decision back then, nor could he be sure whether Miyu's power as the divine child had truly disappeared.]
