Chapter 898: The Holy Grail's Conclusion, A Peaceful End for All
After shattering the Black Light Curry Stick, the ten-meter-wide Energy Bomb barely consumed any of its power.
When they witnessed Yecheng crushing the Black Saber's Excalibur with overwhelming force, Medea and the others initially believed Yecheng had secured victory, even cheering aloud.
However, as they watched the Energy Bomb being blocked by Avalon and rebounding, Sakura and Medea's hearts sank in dismay.
The power of the Energy Bomb was well-known to all; its might was comparable to the release of an Ex-Class Artifact, rendering even the strongest defenses as fragile as tofu.
Even the renowned Avalon, touted as the most robust defensive Noble Phantasm, shattered upon deflecting the Energy Bomb.
Confronted with such a formidable attack, how could Yecheng possibly withstand it?
"Damn it! Why did the King of Knights retrieve such a troublesome Noble Phantasm as Avalon? In the legends, wasn't it said to be lost?"
Hearing Medea's curse, Shirou Emiya and Rin Faruzuki, standing nearby, couldn't help but show discomfort on their faces.
Medea summoned a magic array beneath her feet, preparing to use a transfer spell to reach Yecheng. While the Golden Fleece might not match Avalon in terms of defense, it was still an Ex-Class Artifact, and she couldn't bear to watch Yecheng die before her eyes.
Just as Medea was about to act, Yecheng, suspended in mid-air, moved even faster than her.
What baffled everyone even more was that, instead of dodging the rebounding Energy Bomb, Yecheng charged towards it!
"Let me tell you, the Energy Bomb only locks onto evil energy. It can't inflict significant harm on those with righteous hearts and may even be deflected back!"
Yecheng's figure flickered, and with a swift knee strike, he deflected the Energy Bomb, causing it to deform.
The slightly deformed Energy Bomb, just as he had said, didn't explode upon impact but instead sped towards the Black Saber faster than before.
Saber, witnessing the blue energy ball resembling a small sun descending upon her, glanced at the shattered Noble Phantasm in her hand and ultimately abandoned her struggle, accepting death with open arms.
In the battle between kings, the victor stands tall, and even in the face of death, a true ruler maintains their dignity.
"Boom——————!"
As the Energy Bomb enveloped Saber's figure, the entire Fuyuki City trembled violently.
The massive shockwave stirred up a substantial amount of seawater, creating a minor tsunami that directly destroyed Fuyuki City's coastline and sea wall.
When the Energy Bomb detonated, the entire Fuyuki City was illuminated as bright as day.
"Saber! X2"
Watching Saber being struck by the Energy Bomb, Shirou and Rin cried out in distress.
During this Holy Grail War, Shirou and Rin's relationship with Saber had evolved beyond that of Master and Servant; they had become like-minded friends.
Saber, renowned as the King of Knights, was, in their eyes, often just a justice-loving foodie girl.
Her corruption by This World's Evil was to save the innocent people of Fuyuki City, but they never imagined she would meet such an unfortunate end.
However, just as Shirou and Rin mourned Saber's departure, a figure slowly approached from the distance.
This person, with white hair and a youthful appearance, held a golden-haired girl in a princess carry, a detail that stood out even more.
A golden-haired girl was completely naked, so she was still wearing a coat from Yecheng, and when she saw the two of them, Medea and Shirou Emiya were also excited and hurried forward.
When they realized that Saber was merely unconscious from exhaustion and not dead, Shirou and Rin were undoubtedly thrilled and delighted.
Sakura and Medea, on the other hand, seemed a bit jealous as they saw Yecheng gently holding Saber.
"This guy is really lucky. Wasn't Avalon shattered? After such an attack, she's still alive."
The destructive power of the Energy Bomb was witnessed by everyone. The tsunami caused by the shockwaves alone swallowed the entire coastline.
To be blunt, if that Energy Bomb had fallen within Fuyuki City, the city would have undoubtedly vanished from the map.
But despite such a powerful attack, with no defense and a direct hit, Saber somehow survived, which seemed absurd to Medea.
"The Energy Bomb targeted the evil energy. After the annihilation of This World's Evil that had accumulated within Saber for seventy years, the energy was almost depleted. So it's normal for Saber, who inherently had a sense of justice, to survive."
Of course, Yecheng didn't deny that part of the reason might be because Saber was the world's daughter.
After all, it's not that the Energy Bomb couldn't kill a good person. Saber not only had all the evil within her eliminated, but she was also completely unharmed. It can be said that the protagonist aura definitely provided a lot of bonuses.
In a sense, the Holy Grail War had ended, and Medea and the others finally got their wish fulfilled, using the power of the Holy Grail to stay in the present world.
Making a wish also requires a certain technique. If Medea wished to incarnate herself in the present world, the probability of success would be low.
But if she wished for all the remaining Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War to gain flesh, then including Medusa and the others, they would all be able to stay.
Originally, aside from Medusa, Medea didn't want Saber and Black Jeanne to enjoy this treatment.
After all, they had gone through so much together, and the other party had caused them quite a few obstacles before. Why should they share the rewards with them?
But Yecheng also said that Black Jeanne, as an Avenger, had let go of her obsession but was still the embodiment of evil.
Whether it was defeating her or ending the Holy Grail War and returning her to the Holy Grail, the colorless mana of the new Holy Grail might be polluted again.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, Medea could only compromise in the end, and for Saber, it was merely an additional benefit.
Medea and Medusa, who obtained flesh, moved into the Einzbern family with Yecheng. When they learned that Yecheng was indeed a human magician and had mastered the Third Law, the magicians of the Clock Tower enthusiastically invited him to become a lecturer at the Clock Tower.
Black Jeanne, in search of her value and meaning, prepared to travel the world and atone for her past actions.
Saber would become the King of Knights because she drew the Sword in the Stone, and thus needed to fulfill the duties of a king.
However, as Yecheng said, at present, whether it was the Excal or Avalon, both had been destroyed in battle, and the current Saber was no longer a king but an ordinary girl named Altria.
