After dealing with the brat Mordred, next was Kairi Shishigami. Hades stepped forward slowly, staring at him and asking his trusted Twin Gods, "What do you think of this Necromancer's wish, Thanatos, Hypnos?"
"His adopted daughter's soul has already returned to the Underworld; her Death can no longer be changed," Thanatos spoke first.
"However," Hypnos said, picking up the Double-Fanged Poison Dagger from the ground, "a poison dagger made from the corpse of a Hydra is a rare treasure even in the Greece of the age of myths. Even if we cannot change his daughter's Death, we can let him see her once."
Hearing the words of the three gods of the Underworld, Kairi Shishigami's hands trembled slightly as he reached forward, saying, "Is it really possible... can I see that child again..."
Hypnos stepped forward, presented the Double-Fanged Poison Dagger to Hades, and said respectfully, "Hades, what is your opinion?"
Hades reached out and took the Double-Fanged Poison Dagger, looking it over. "Indeed, Hydra poison is considered a very good material. Thanatos, what do you think?"
Thanatos crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Just this once. Only letting him go to Elysium to see his adopted daughter's soul, not resurrecting her."
Hearing Thanatos's words, Hades tossed the Double-Fanged Poison Dagger into the air, and it was automatically stored in his storage space.
Then, the three gods of the Underworld, including Hades, Thanatos, and Hypnos, acted. His hand emitted a purple light representing the Underworld, temporarily sending Kairi Shishigami to Elysium. When the purple light in front of him dissipated, Kairi Shishigami opened his eyes. The scene before him amazed him; the green plains were filled with flowers, gentle sunlight and wind brushed against his rugged face, the blue sky was completely unpolluted, and white Greek temples stood tall, like a beautiful world from a fairy tale, breathtaking to behold.
"Where is this?" Kairi Shishigami looked at the beautiful scene before him. Although it was wonderful, he did not get lost in it for long, looking around in confusion.
"This is Elysium, a paradise after Death that only kind souls chosen by the gods of the Underworld can reach." At that moment, a gentle female voice like a spring breeze sounded behind Kairi Shishigami. He turned to look and saw a blonde goddess wearing underworld armor of two different colors, purple and gold, appearing behind him.
Kairi Shishigami was momentarily captivated by the goddess's beauty, but he immediately shook his head to regain his senses and looked at her, saying, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The blonde goddess smiled and spoke softly, "I am Persephone, the Goddess of Seeds."
'Persephone!! Hades's wife!! The Queen of the Underworld!!' Upon hearing those words, a huge wave surged in Kairi Shishigami's heart. The woman before him could be said to be a deity of the Underworld second only to Hades (Hades).
Persephone smiled, waved her hand, and turned around, saying, "Alright, Erica, Lilia, take him to see his adopted daughter."
"Yes! Lady Persephone!!" Erica and Lilia, who had already become the Queen of the Underworld's handmaidens, appeared behind Kairi Shishigami wearing white Greek attire and pulled the confused man in a certain direction.
Under the lead of Erica and Lilia, Kairi Shishigami saw his adopted daughter watering beautiful flowers in a sea of blossoms. She had been very pure and kind during her life, so after her Death, her soul naturally transformed into a Nymph, responsible for tending to the flower fields of Elysium.
Seeing his once-dead daughter standing alive before him, Kairi Shishigami's whole body trembled, and his speech became somewhat incoherent. His adopted daughter felt the gaze from behind and turned her head. At this moment, Kairi Shishigami took off his sunglasses, his eyes shimmering with tears. His daughter also tremulously called out "Father" to him.
The watering can in her hand fell naturally, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her face. She ran toward Kairi Shishigami with great excitement, and he did the same. They embraced each other, expressing their long-held feelings of longing.
Kairi Shishigami spoke words full of apology. His daughter had died of poisoning due to the transplantation of his Magic Crest, so he believed he was the one who killed her. Therefore, he could only offer apologies. His daughter, however, kept comforting him, telling him not to feel guilty or regretful over her Death. Kairi Shishigami himself was unaware of that accident, and besides, she had been very happy under his care; he had given her the warmth she desired.
Kairi Shishigami had lost his wife and child in his early years, and his daughter had lost her parents. They were each other's salvation.
Later, when the time was up, a flash of light passed over Kairi Shishigami, and he returned to the Hanging Gardens, his body still in an embracing posture.
Hades stepped forward and patted Kairi Shishigami on the shoulder, saying, "Are you satisfied, Necromancer?"
Kairi Shishigami slowly stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put his sunglasses back on, and said with a faint smile, "Thank you, Lord Hades."
"God redeeming a lost lamb... it really is a moving scene."
At that moment, a voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who should have fallen, stood up despite the large hole in his chest. Hades narrowed his eyes and said, "You're actually not dead yet, even though your spiritual core should have been crushed."
"I haven't fulfilled my wish yet... I will save all of humanity..." Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, with the large hole in his chest, dragged his body slowly toward the greater grail. With every step, his body gradually turned into particles of light.
His appearance was like that of a fanatical and devout believer; he had given everything for his wish.
"Don't... even think about it..." Sieg also forced his exhausted body to slowly stand up.
Sieg looked up at the massive, sacred greater grail above him, filled with immense power. Though it was a holy relic of great achievement, it had attracted numerous threats.
Once activated, the greater grail possessed the powerful ability to grant wishes, but if this power was misused or went out of control, it would bring unpredictable disasters. Sieg also realized at this moment that if the greater grail remained in the human world, it would likely trigger a series of crises, such as Phantasmal Species leaving the Reverse Side of the World and entering the human world.
At the same time, Sieg gradually awakened his self-awareness during the Holy Grail War and longed to be able to save others.
Meanwhile, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada hoped to achieve the Spiritualization of all humanity through the greater grail, thereby reaching a state of immortality. This wish seemed beautiful but was fraught with danger.
So now, Sieg decided... Sieg spread his dragon wings and flew in front of the greater grail, placing his hand on it and whispering in his heart, 'O greater grail, please hear my wish. I wish...'
After Sieg spoke his wish in his heart, a flash of golden light erupted from the greater grail, illuminating the entire Hanging Gardens.
