"Then I'll leave the rest to you, my most reliable partners."

"I guarantee I will not fail in my mission, King!"

"Although we still harbor prejudice against humans and feel that such beings are not worth protecting, since it is Your Majesty's order, no matter what lies ahead, we Demon Pillars will still carry it out. This is what makes us different from that traitor Goetia!"

Upon receiving the order, Rafe was overjoyed and immediately bowed down in obeisance.

As he spoke, he didn't forget to continue to disgust Goetia.

"You bastard?!"

This scene infuriated Goetia, who then punched Rafe, who was oblivious to the atmosphere, sending him flying.

Then, Goetia suddenly raised his voice.

"Stop right there! None of you are allowed to move. Let me handle this! It's just a baby Beast. Let me show you what a real Beast is!"

After saying that, the enormous figure suddenly soared into the sky.

-

Human evil, the beast—what a grand and lofty existence that is.

In the first part of FGO, the only candidates were Tiamat and Goetia, which was quite impressive.

Although the appearance of beasts like Kama, Sesshouin, and Koyanskaya later made human evil seem less valuable, Goetia, as the first and most complete human evil, still maintains a very high level of prestige.

This can be seen from the fact that he used human history and Earth to burn glass, almost initiating Genesis, and used Tiamat.

So...

"A newly born human evil is nothing more than a little girl. Behave yourself and watch closely! This is all the strength we possess!"

Goetia clasped his hands together, and golden light suddenly appeared on his body. The next moment, his original golden human king form disappeared, and he transformed back into a tall demon.

Seeing this scene and feeling this oppressive atmosphere, we don't know how the others felt, but Cú Chulainn below was truly numb. At the same time, his intuition reminded him to make an extremely correct decision.

I'm outta here...

They're not to be trifled with, really not to be trifled with, they're all monsters.

All the servants near Ryudouji Temple turned and ran without looking back.

Because they could tell that the golden demon was stronger than the red dragon, which was clearly incapable of fighting, and its aura was far more terrifying and ruthless.

Without even thinking, they could guess that Goetia didn't care about their safety at all. If he got serious, he could raze not only the red dragon, but also an area within a radius of who knows how many kilometers.

"What exactly is this...?"

As she watched the Servants flee rapidly, Ayaka Sajou wanted to give chase, but when she looked up and saw the tens of thousands of golden bands of light gathering in Goetia's palm, she became numb. She tried to manipulate the mud to stop them, but the mud was incinerated before it could even touch Goetia due to the heat of the burning planet.

She wanted to make the most of her time to escape, but dozens of huge pillars covered in eyes had already been erected in other directions and were now fixed on her.

The next moment, countless golden rays fixed her in place.

"What is this...?"

At this moment, she was completely confused about what was going on. She looked at Goetia. Sajou Aika didn't understand where this thing came from or why it was hurting her. Wasn't the other party's aura also human evil?

However, when she questioned Goetia, he still gave a calm reply.

"Hmph, I have no interest in protecting humans, and I have no grudge against you. This is just the king's order."

"Also, your mind has been maliciously affected, so let me, as your senior, help you clear your head."

"Ughhhhhh!!"

A golden halo descended directly from the sky, containing the terrifying heat and brilliance of a burning planet. But this time, it contained not destruction, but a more profound rebirth, or rather, purification.

The dark silt and rocks, along with the red dragon's body, rapidly dissipated in the light. The endless malice and the obsession were also purified and dissipated, flowing away like melting snow. In the end, all that remained was a sphere, worn down to its core.

"Looks like it's nothing special after all. I'm still the strongest beast."

Goetia snorted coldly.

Then a dark figure made its move.

King Hassan appeared above the giant pit at some unknown time. He leaned on his sword and stared at the sphere in front of him, which had been reduced to only a core. He slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"The title of Grand Master is not what I need; the proof of my strength lies in a single sword."

“Listen, for your name is revealed in my eyes.”

There were no unnecessary movements or overly flashy special effects.

King Hassan simply stood before the dark core, and then, as always, swung his final sword.

Swish!

A dark arc of light flashed past, and the core, which had been covered in silt, was precisely cut open at this moment, leaving the final crack.

At the same time, the Root Hole in the sky was also split in two along with the moment the core was cut open, and a petite blonde girl fell down because she lost her support.

With this sword strike, King Hassan, by abandoning his Grand Spirit Origin, did not sever immortality, but rather severed the connection between the Calamity Dragon and the Root. Therefore, the Root Hole dissipated along with it. In other words, he had just used his Grand Spirit Origin to completely sever the link between Sajō Ayaka and the Root.

Thus, the calamity dragon, lacking the power of its origin, will never be able to reappear, and she will transform from a princess of origin into an ordinary person.

This was also the last thing he did: to completely end the life of a beast and fulfill the duties of a Grand Servant.

After everything was finished, King Hassan did not linger; his figure simply vanished from the battlefield as if he had never been there.

Luo Wei gazed at Liudong Lake, which had been transformed from Liudong Temple, and fell into deep thought.

Goetia's attack was within the maximum acceptable range for the Red Dragon. Although he had warned Goetia not to cause too much damage, his attack this time had clearly exceeded expectations.

However, his so-called control over the power only meant not directly penetrating through to the underworld, but in this era, there is no underworld, which means...

He breached the Far East region in one fell swoop, turning Liudong Temple into Liudong Lake.

Although the ending is good, Lo Wei can already imagine Kirei Kotomine's howling.

Seeing his appearance, Goetia didn't think anything of it. He tossed the unconscious Ayaka Sajou to Lovi, then clapped his hands and said very smugly.

"Look, it's all taken care of. It was a piece of cake for me."

"Have you considered how to fill this lake back in?"

Luo Wei checked on Sajou Aika and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was alright. Then he began to consider the situation in front of him.

While it's good that there were no casualties, the scale of the conflict was somewhat excessive, even penetrating the Far East. Although things seem relatively calm now, it's impossible to say there was absolutely no impact.

"Fill it back? Why should I fill it back? I just saved the lives of all humanity in this world. Compared to the harm caused by a calamity beast, what is a mountain that the people of this world cannot accept?"

Goetia was quite dismissive of this.

"I knew it, so I'll figure out a way."

Hearing his words, Luo Wei sighed helplessly.

However, Goetia was right. Compared to continuing to let the Calamity Beast cause harm, the current crater was the best possible outcome.

As for the reason... we can just blame it on the natural gas explosion at Ryudouji Temple.

However, after thinking about it, Luo Wei decisively dialed Bazett's number.

"Bazette, this is the Chairman of the Board. Connect me to the Clock Tower Command Center."

"what?"

Chapter 398 A Bright Future [The End]

So, is that the end of it?

At the Tohsaka family mansion, everyone gathered around to watch Kirei Kotomine on television, who was still calmly stating that the gas explosion had caused the incident, each with their own mixed feelings.

Luvia downed the steaming cup of black tea in one gulp, then glanced at Rin Tohsaka, who was practically questioning her existence.

Upon waking up, Rin Tohsaka suddenly realized what had happened. She had been perfectly fine until her master suddenly came to her door and knocked her unconscious. Then Ishtar came out again and released the Bull of the Sky, which almost destroyed the entire Fuyuki City.

While it was indeed good that there were no casualties, Rin Tohsaka glanced at the long list of bills issued by the Holy Church, and she truly felt like dying.

Her reckless behavior has left her with hundreds of millions in debt, which she can no longer repay.

However, just when Rin Tohsaka was about to end her life due to the enormous debt, Luvia helped her this time without holding a grudge, and single-handedly paid for the repairs of the entire Fuyuki City and Ryudouji Temple.

This left Rin Tohsaka at a loss for how to face her, after all, she owed her a huge favor this time, and there was no way she could ever repay the debt.

She began to wonder if Luvia would make her do something strange, like being her maid to pay off debts?

The thought of that horrible scene sent a chill down Rin Tohsaka's spine.

However, a long time ago, Luvia might have actually done that, but now...

She has lost interest in that area.

After all, no matter how you look at it, they have won a great victory in this Holy Grail War.

After confirming that everything was alright yesterday, Astraea left, and before leaving, she made sure to check that Ishtar had also left.

Now she has nothing left to worry about.

Having become Luo Wei's student, his status and position were in no way inferior to, and perhaps even higher than, that of Rin Tohsaka.

Although there is no significant gap between them yet, Luvia believes that one day she will be able to completely crush her.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Looks like I've won this time."

Luvia raised an eyebrow at Rin Tohsaka, unilaterally declaring victory in this Holy Grail War.

However, just as she was about to say something more...

"What? You won? What time is it? Why are there so many people here? How long have I been asleep?"

Rin Tohsaka's eye suddenly turned amber, and Ereshkigal, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly reappeared.

At this moment, Luvia was momentarily stunned.

She looked at Rin Tohsaka's hand and was surprised to find that Rin's Command Seals were still there. Luvia then realized that she had always had two Servants; Ishtar was gone, but Ereshkigal hadn't left and had been sleeping all day. She had simply been too happy yesterday to notice this insignificant little thing.

So...

"I never expected that I would lose in the end."

Luvia's smug smile vanished instantly. She looked down at the back of her hand, now devoid of a Command Seal. "You forgot about the other one because of carelessness. You really got carried away. But I'm not a sore loser. You win this time, Rin Tohsaka."

A loss is a loss, and a win is a win.
