Fate: Hero of Justice Takeover-Chapter 194: [] Beast Interlude, Farewell to Miyu and Nameless

Chapter 194 - [194] Beast Interlude, Farewell to Miyu and Nameless

Just like the interludes or fragments found in every story, the past of 'Nameless' also contains additional tales.

Human Evil, Beast.

No one knows when it appeared, why it came into being, or why it latched onto the abnormal and uninteresting servant 'Nameless.' But regardless, the world where Nameless resided was thrown into chaos because of her. The only Master, Hakuno, spent her days crouching beside Nameless, like a Pokémon trainer clutching a Master Ball, waiting patiently by the grass. A certain rose-adorned, applauding swordswoman even wielded her Primordial Fire, nearly overturning the Rome she had built in her quest to root it out.

Only Nameless knew that this Beast was not purely malicious. Malice is a fleeting thing, growing weaker with use. The gaze it cast from the shadows—filled with emotions Nameless couldn't comprehend.

If one had to describe it, it was like observing a fruit about to ripen, admiring the prosperity of this world while thirstily anticipating its decline.

Ah, yes, the Beast, the Human Evil that countless people feared and dreaded, was hidden within Nameless's shadow, concealed in the imaginary world beyond the reach of the present.

Now, it too had followed Nameless away from Moon Cell, casting its greedy gaze upon this new worldline.

"The fall of Moon Cell is inevitable, which is why I didn't expose you," Nameless, clad in mythical attire, wielded twin blades to disperse the massive black shadow. "But here, it's different. The man before us carries the hopes of an entire world!"

His eyes sharp, the twin blades descended.

"Therefore, I cannot let you destroy it!"

Reaching the pinnacle of the Grand, a god-slaying force surged forth, a height unreachable even for Sakatsuki with the Heaven's Cup. The reason Nameless hadn't used his full strength in his battle with Sakatsuki was because he had foreseen the arrival of the Beast! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"You've already devoured the sealed Angra Mainyu, haven't you? That harmless 'All the World's Evil' was just a facade. Once Sakatsuki and I settled our fight and left, you would take control of the Holy Grail, using it as a foundation to steal the souls of Fuyuki's citizens, awakening and constructing the physical form of the Beast—yes, just like what Aoko did!"

The shadow writhed, and though it had no face, a thick sense of mockery emanated from it.

Yes, that is my goal.

But what can you do about it? Kill me?

Can you even kill me?

The black mud swayed, laughing, casting a massive shadow over the mythical hero.

The hero's body was slowly dissipating, the price to pay for entrusting the future to another. As the anchor connecting the past and the future, if he did not vanish, the possibility of "collapse" would always remain.

Only when the one who recognized that past completely disappeared would the gears of fate begin to turn anew.

"Indeed, I currently lack the power to completely destroy you," Nameless admitted, but then he raised something in his hand.

It was a familiar from the imaginary world, left behind by Sakatsuki.

"But—" Grinning at the uneasy black mud, Nameless stored the shadow of the imaginary world and charged forward with his blades.

"I will seal you within the shadows!"

The slender spear, its intricate design a work of art, was adorned with dark blue streams that refracted a crystalline blue light when illuminated.

Satsuki toyed with the gem-like spear, and after its ownership was transferred to him by Nameless, he began to understand the terrifying power of this weapon.

This spear was a mythical artifact forged from the foundation of the entire Moon Cell, fused with the powers of numerous heroic spirits. This was why Nameless could use the abilities of different heroes in battle, much like the Grand Zi-O.

With it, he wielded the power of all the heroic spirits within Moon Cell.

[Detected important object named Moon Cell. Absorb?]

[Detected important object named Moon Cell. Absorb?]

[Detected...]

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sakatsuki clutched his forehead, feeling as though his skull was about to burst from the incessant noise of the Fate Compendium.

However, judging from the continuous prompts of the Fate Compendium, the importance of the Moon Cell component was evident.

[Command received. Beginning absorption of Moon Cell. Estimated time: 24 hours. Entering upgrade state.]

[...]

The Fate Compendium fell silent, and the Moon Cell spear slowly vanished, as if it had never existed in this world.

"Next... it's time to deal with the aftermath," Sakatsuki murmured, looking up as the golden-haired, blue-eyed King of Knights slowly approached him, followed by Kiritsugu Emiya, Irisviel, and Waver Velvet.

They were the survivors of this Holy Grail War.

Seven Masters, seven Servants, and a total of twenty-four participants including allies—

In the quiet temple, under the flowing moonlight, only seven shadows remained...

"Wait."

The imaginary space opened, and a somewhat disheveled Nameless tumbled out, grumbling, "You really didn't wait for me, huh?"

Beside Kariya, who was still at the Tohsaka residence, the eighth figure stood alongside the wary group.

"Don't be nervous. Right now, I'm just a roadside slime."

"...In summary, Nameless has conceded, and this Holy Grail War is officially over."

"Over... is it?" Even after hearing Sakatsuki's explanation, Saber still felt a sense of unreality.

Watching Nameless sit beside Sakatsuki like a brother, her expression was one of utter bewilderment.

A few minutes ago, you two were trying to kill each other, and now you're sitting together like siblings... Are you messing with me?

"Anyway, a lot of things happened, and this is how it turned out," Sakatsuki said, raising an eyebrow at the still-adjusting group. "What? The Holy Grail War is over. Go home, find your moms. Surely no one is still after the Holy Grail, right?"

How could anyone still want that thing?

Kiritsugu and Irisviel exchanged glances, firmly shaking their heads.

I've already obtained the most precious treasure.

Waver clutched his pounding heart, his gaze resolute.

The other teams had already withdrawn midway, so under Sakatsuki's amused gaze, everyone bid their farewells and left.

Saber's group's next actions were self-explanatory. Having failed to obtain the Holy Grail, they would undoubtedly be hunted down by Acht. To prevent Illya from suffering, they had to return to the Einzbern Castle as quickly as possible to rescue the last member of their family.

With Saber by their side, there was no doubt they would succeed.

As for Waver, after bidding farewell to the elderly couple he had been staying with, he would undoubtedly return to the Clock Tower, stepping toward the fate that awaited him.

Kariya had already settled down at the Tohsaka residence, and judging from his blissful state, he hadn't sent any messages in days, this old bachelor would soon have everything he desired. As for the final Caster group—

""I'm leaving, brother/Sakatsuki.""

As if they had planned it, Nameless and Miyu spoke simultaneously, releasing their restraints.

A golden light, symbolizing farewell, began to rise from their bodies.
