The white glow spread outward from the point of contact between the finger and the Holy Grail, quickly filling the entire underground space.
The scene of the underground altar became increasingly dim, the exclamations of Fiore and others gradually faded away, and Shinji found himself in a strange world.
There is nothing here, only pure white, endless.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this world is extremely monotonous and people will go crazy if they stay there for too long, but Shinji does not feel that way.
In this pure white world, he felt very warm both physically and mentally.
It feels like soaking in a hot spring, and every part of my body feels refreshed.
It was as if he was not in this strange world, but in his familiar home.
It was as if he was lying on a recliner in the backyard, brewing a pot of black tea, enjoying the sunshine of a spring afternoon, and when he raised his eyes inadvertently, the woman who loved to wear white clothes was sitting next to him, holding a fashion magazine and reading it with relish.
"Is that you, Justisa?"
Shinji murmured, calling out the name that had been with him the longest.
This shout seemed to open a certain mechanism, and a familiar pure white figure appeared before his eyes, calling out in a voice he had heard countless times.
"Shinji."
"Justisa!"
Shinji rushed forward, wanting to hug her tightly and never let go.
But this was just wishful thinking. The figure in front of him was an illusion and not real. Shinji's body passed through it and fell heavily to the ground.
And this illusory figure did not respond to Shinji's call, because it was just a message.
"When you hear this, I may no longer be by your side."
"The man behind the Red Team, whom you call the Red Team, is a very scary man named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. He was the one who injured your Pegasus, and the light from before might have been related to him. I could sense that before that, there was a strange magical power connected to the Holy Grail. I think he has sensed my presence."
"But this is not your fault. You cared about him enough and reminded me to move, but I didn't listen. So, it's my fault, so blame me if you want to."
No, no, how could that be
Keep shaking your head.
I just said it casually and didn't take it seriously. If I had insisted, it wouldn't have happened.
And I didn't pay enough attention to that guy. If killing him was really my primary goal, I would have told Jeanne long ago. I was careless, I took it for granted, it's me, it's me, it's all my fault!
"Although, if you want to blame me, I may not be able to hear it, but I really want to hear it. If, if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had not discovered my existence and had not destroyed the Greater Holy Grail, I would have come to you after the Holy Grail War was over. At that time, no matter how you complain or what you want me to do, I will listen to you."
Shinji's eyes turned red.
There is no complaint at all. As long as you can come back, it doesn’t matter how you scold me.
"If I can't come back, don't be sad or upset. I should have disappeared when the Greater Holy Grail was completed. Every extra day is God's blessing. I am lucky and satisfied to be able to survive until today, to meet you, Sakura, Scathach, Irisviel and Illya, and Orange, and to become a real human being."
"So, even if I'm gone, it will just be a return to the ending that was supposed to belong to me. Don't say no. Kishua has already told me that the many parallel worlds were supposed to be my ending."
What does the parallel world have to do with you or me? I just want you to live with me, and live well.
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer and they quietly fell.
"I am truly happy when I am with you, when I teach you magic, when I see you working hard, when I worry about you."
That's it, she said this with a smile on her face, like a blooming flower. That smile was very beautiful, without any negative emotions.
"As long as I think about days like this, I won't be afraid even if I'm about to disappear. During this time away, I will always think of you and recall the six years we lived together. That must be very happy, that must... must be very happy! So, Shinji, I am very happy."
Throat is blocked.
Even so—even so, I...
"You made me happy, so you must be happy too."
Justisa.
"I like you like this..."
Justisa!
"I like it the most, I like it the most."
Justisa!!
"Ah, ah, maybe this is what Irisviel meant by 'love'."
Justisa!!!
"Goodbye, my love."
Justisa...
"Finally, I want to give you a gift."
agitation.
Shock the body.
Penetrate into the soul.
Like a heartbeat, it symbolizes the pulsation of life force.
"You've always said you wanted to experience my magic for yourself. Now is the time."
magic.
Pure white magic.
It far exceeds an individual's storage and is even more abundant than Pegasus.
It is vast and seems endless.
At that moment, I understood.
The white before him, this whole world, was her magic, her gift to him.
"Unfortunately, I was not given the Second Magic, so I cannot send you back to your original world. All I can do is allow you to continue to exist in this world for a long time. This is my only function as a degraded copy of the Third Magician, my only 'salvation';."
I don't want any functions, any relief, any magic, or any gifts.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank the souls of the servants stored in the Holy Grail. Without their help, it might take me several years to prepare this gift. No, I might not even be able to separate the Holy Grail. As you said, my magic is a fine weave, beautiful but inefficient, but this time it was still very efficient. So, accept it."
The world turned upside down, all the white, all the magic was concentrated in Justisa's hands, concentrated on the golden cup that carried Justisa's thoughts.
Then, Justisa held the Holy Grail, walked to Shinji, and slowly, bit by bit, melted into his body.
Along with the golden cup in her hand, along with the pure white of the world, along with Justisa "herself".
With the combined effect of these three factors, the spirit particles that make up Shinji's body quickly transformed into reality.
Based on the information contained in the soul, the flesh, internal organs, bones, and skin were reproduced one by one, making them no different from real humans.
The magic power that can only be maintained by relying on the contract with the master is cut off, and replaced by the magic power generated independently by the new body. The possession of the present world also does not need to rely on others because it has an independent body.
This is Justisa's third magic - soul materialization. This is the blueprint for saving the Einzbern family's thousand-year-old wish.
The difference is that she used to want to save all of humanity, but now she only wants him.
PS: I admire Aijia's artificial humans again. They are so awesome, beautiful, have good personalities, and are deeply in love with the people they like. Kondo, tell me honestly whether the black and white rabbits were based on Aijia's template.
