I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the night market.

A young boy who doesn't fit in is walking here.

He passed a group of sad-looking children gathered around a tree.

He gently reached out and took the balloon stuck on it off and handed it to them, then walked away before they could express their surprise or thank him.

The slowly receding figure gives people a feeling that they will never be caught up.

This small act of kindness was quickly swallowed up by the frenzied and boisterous crowd.

......

It's the same principle as when a man is about to die, his words are good.

When people realize that the future is bound to be an abyss of despair, they often take advantage of the lucky time to reveal their true side.

The indulgence towards Yukinoshita and the little kindness just now are the true side of Mu Lin.

Perhaps the future for others is certain death.

But his future is not death, but the heaviest burden he has carried since the birth of everything until now.

This is a burden that can crush all supports and shock countless beings as to who can carry it!

Unfortunately, the unimaginable betrayal and unprecedented difficulties have left him with no faith to bear them.

No matter what you think.

None of this makes sense anymore.

In the end, he was just a decadent, resigned lamb to be slaughtered, a lamb to be slaughtered who had lost all his power.

Just like what the system asked at that time——

"Host, let me ask you, do you really have the confidence to defeat the gods?"

And his fearless, god-defying answer—

"You should ask this question to those rubbish who claim to be gods."

No matter how arrogant his attitude was when he answered, it could not change the fact that he was trying to be stubborn.

"boom--!"

A ball of fire suddenly broke out in the deserted alley.

The intense heat swallowed up all the gravel on the ground.

This is the divine fire that is becoming stronger and stronger.

In the flickering flames, the strange triangular black shadow looked like eyes and a mouth, eerily long and narrow, staring at the young man in front of him as if mocking him.

[It's coming soon, host.] The system couldn't help but kindly remind him.

[Hurry up, He may hurt someone who has nothing to do with you but whom you care about very much. ]

"It's coming soon." Cold words burst out from the corner amidst the scorching heat. The slight chill was struggling to resist the irresistible heat!

【Um? 】

"It's here." The firm tone made the system dare not disbelieve it.

【Then...where is He? 】

"Looking at this fragile world, a fragile world that can't withstand a single blow, but it doesn't want to be so decisive. Do you know what it is saying?"

In the dark alley, the young man pointed at the flame, his dark eyes barely sparkling.

【What are you talking about? 】

"I'm telling you, long time no see. I didn't expect a loser like you to live in such a shabby world. I've never seen such a thing before. Now I'll give you a chance to choose. Do you want me to threaten the people around you to force you, or do you take the initiative to come and see me?"

......

There once was a world.

There are no gods there, only humans and strange beasts.

Relying on the control of the human stars, no matter how powerful the alien beasts are, that world is still dominated by humans.

Later, the kings of the strange beasts were unwilling to be ordinary, and they regarded themselves as beings higher than the strange beasts but lower than humans.

That is what is called - God.

For a period of time that was almost equivalent to the immortality of alien beasts, humans ruled everything.

But fate seemed to be tired of this unchanging world and began to take action.

The strange beasts have unprecedented evolutionary capabilities. They devour everything and strengthen themselves.

Humans have used them to achieve the same evolution of their own species.

Therefore, birth, aging, sickness and death do not seem to belong to the human stars.

The stars seem to have truly achieved immortality and immortality.

But an accident happened.

Humans who were wary of gods and ignored the alien beasts did not expect that among the lowest race of alien beasts, there would be an "it" that would undergo a huge mutation.

Its unprecedented devouring ability allows it to kill almost any god or human that stands in its way.

At that moment, some important star of humanity - died.

While struggling to resist this mutant beast, investigation revealed that "it"'s illogical mutations were induced by other beings.

What’s despairing is that the culprit for the induction is actually human beings themselves!

Therefore, the king, who had long been tired of everything, was completely furious about the man's death, and he slaughtered his own kind with an almost tyrannical attitude!

The same kind kill each other.

The hatred then grew stronger and stronger.

Slowly, people who believed in the king were no longer willing to believe in a king who slaughtered people at will and treated their lives as worthless.

So they rebelled against the king.

The power of the king and the stars is so strong that they cooperate with God to overthrow the so-called tyranny!

At last.

At some point, the tyranny was easily overthrown by them.

So easy that even God couldn't believe it.

In fact, what they found hard to believe was that the king whom they had always feared and respected had given up resistance.

As if everything had lost its meaning, he was killed on the throne by God with resignation.

[I'm tired. Everything is meaningless.]

This sentence was like a curse, preventing the gods from experiencing the joy of victory. After losing their supreme ruler, they began to riot among themselves. Coupled with the huge crisis of mutant beasts, the entire world began to rush towards destruction!

And the once ruling race - humans, having lost their backbone, were completely exterminated in regret!

The world collapses.

The mutant beast became completely out of control because the only person who could resist it was lost, and the gods and other beasts fled.

Those who lost their homes and became shameful fugitives feel unprecedented anger!

They are ungrateful to the King who brought long-lasting world peace!

Instead, I feel resentment!

They wanted to find the king's body and use it to deal with the mutant beasts, but when they quietly returned to their hometown which had turned into ashes, they found that the corpse that was so terrifying even in death had disappeared!

......

There are always indescribable things wandering in the gaps between sequence-level universes.

The natives don’t know who they are, but because they are so powerful they worship them as gods!

In their world, God is the master who rules over everything!

All this faith and respect astonished the Unspeakable Things, but it also made them more arrogant than ever before!

Only then did they realize that their hometown was just a prison that trapped them, and that the paradise was outside their hometown!

Because in this vast world, no one can be their enemy!!

They soar in the gaps of the universe, wantonly destroying everything to satisfy their vanity.

But the king’s last words before his death remain a curse that they cannot forget!

What is the meaning? Why is there no meaning? Why do we accept death as fate!

In the endless evolution, they became powerful enough to predict things, so they predicted the king and found out that the king was not dead!

How could the immortal king die?

It turns out I was fooled!

Even with such thoughts, they were extremely happy! They searched for the king with all their strength! But in the end, they could only return in anger and without success!

The once awe-inspiring and arrogant king has actually become a small fry who can only hide!

......

The flame of arrogance flies rapidly in the gaps of the universe!

That brilliant light was even more powerful than the light brought by perseverance! The natives who looked up at Him on their tiny planets knelt down one after another to welcome His arrival.

At a certain moment, He suddenly paused, like the eternal sun standing there for a long time, and then fell madly in one direction!

The Fire of the Same Origin surprised Him. It seemed that He had found the inferior human being who cast a spell on the Gods!!!

As a new god, he was so arrogant that he did not take this legendary invincible existence seriously. With just one glance from his indescribable eyes, he confirmed that it was trash weaker than a chicken.

[Humph! Legends may not be true. As expected, humans are a bunch of trash, even worse than newts! ]

[A bunch of extremely servile trash! ]

With a ferocious and angry whisper, He swept away the obstruction of Gaia and Alaya, and came in the name of the God of Fire of this world!

Incarnated as the god of fire in this world - Hephaestus.

A divine name that He despised but could barely use. After the moment of successful transformation, the real Hephaestus collapsed into particles in a legendary place and died in a form that even the goddess of death could not save him!

......

"Why didn't the head of the Machiri (Matou) family come?"

In the heavy and mysterious conference room, the mysterious people hiding in the shadows all looked at the person sitting at the end of the long table.

This is the local supreme executive of the Magic Association and the person with the highest authority in charge of this area.

"I heard that he had important matters to attend to, so he didn't come."

The voice of this answer was full of pride, just like that of a person who grew up as a genius.

"It is said that?"

"..."

"Hmph! I know."

"The Tousaka family, the Makiri family, and the less relevant Einzbern family, only two of the three families came, but I don't think this will be difficult for you."

"A heretic has appeared in the place where the Holy Grail War is held. As a local family or a related family that will compete here, you can't just watch the heretic cause chaos and do nothing, right?"

"Heretic?" someone frowned and asked in confusion.

"How could the Tohsaka family, the most prestigious family in Japan, not know about this?"

"The Holy Grail is the most important thing for our family right now. It is the long-cherished wish of our ancestors until now!"

"It has been our family's long-cherished wish! But this matter has spread to our German region, and I have also heard about it. It seems that the head of the Tousaka family attaches more importance to the Holy Grail War than I do."

A white-haired old man said this with a serious expression. People who knew him knew that he was making a sarcastic remark about the head of the Toosaka family.

"Hmph, is there a detailed report on this heretic?" said the head of the Toosaka family, knocking on the table.

The man at the end waved his hand, and one of his men respectfully handed the two documents to the two family heads present.

"The incident was caused by an uncontrollable magician named Azea Cantu."

"He summoned a powerful heretic with the spirit summoning technique. This heretic can infinitely strengthen itself by simply sucking blood and flesh. It is now so powerful that our association needs to be cautious!"

"Humph, letting it develop and then become uncontrollable is really the usual style of your association."

Of the two figures sitting at the end of the long table who had been silent, the older one was sneering.

As a member of the Holy Church, he has always looked down on the Magic Association.

If this Holy Grail War had not been jointly supervised by the Church and the Association, he would not have come to this disgusting place.

"The reason why this incident has become so serious is also due to your Holy Church!" A dissatisfied voice came from the opposite side.

"I heard that the undertaker of our church collected the bodies of several magicians. It seems that they were found in places where heretics appeared."

"Humph!"

The mutual ridicule ended here, and the two people who looked down on each other no longer had the leisure to pay attention to each other. At this time, the head of the Toosaka family and the head of the Einzbern family had just finished reading the report.

"This is a heresy of the ghost type. Wouldn't it be better to let the exorcist deal with it?" The head of the Toosaka family said with some dissatisfaction.

He was a little angry that he had to come here and delay the preparation of the Holy Grail for a job that was not within his responsibility.

"It seems that Master Tousaka really cares about the Holy Grail."

The inexplicable sarcasm from the head of the Einzbern family made the head of the Toosaka family frown, and he finally reacted in confusion.

The chief executive officer spoke again: "I remember the document stated that the incident has been resolved, right?"

"..."

"Okay, without further ado, the heretic you are asked to deal with this time is not this ghost."

"Azea Cantu was a very powerful magician. He was already dead when our people found him, and some of the bodies found in the residence of the Shinomiya chaebol were not killed by this ghost."

"It's obvious that there are other people involved in this matter besides our Magic Association and the Holy Church."

"This kind of powerful person with unknown origins is very dangerous. He may also be someone related to the seal. That's why I'm asking for your help this time."

"If it's a seal designation, then it's not something that our two families can solve alone." said the head of the Toosaka family.

"He is just related, not the person designated by the seal. Besides, this matter may be related to the Holy Grail."

"How is it related?" When the Holy Grail was mentioned, the head of the Toosaka family obviously perked up.

"Suddenly appearing in an area where the Holy Grail War is about to take place, such a powerful person might be chosen by the Holy Grail. At that time, your two families will probably have a more difficult time."

These words obviously made Toosaka and Einzbern frown.

"Now that it has come to this, the executive officer must have known who the heretic is, right?" said the head of the Toosaka family calmly.

He was eager to understand all the people chosen by the Holy Grail, especially those who were powerful and full of uncertainty.

"It's not certain yet, but there are a few suspects."

As he spoke, the executive officer asked his servants to distribute the suspect's photos to everyone present.

These suspects are all wanted magicians on the run.

After turning to the last photo, a sneer suddenly came from the end of the long table.

This is the stranger next to the old man from the Cathedral Church.

Everyone present looked up in confusion, only to see him looking around at them with his chin resting on one hand.

This proud look is just like someone watching a cricket fight.

After the tense meeting, everyone left with their own thoughts.

On the way out, the old man from the Holy Church respectfully asked the person who sneered.

"My Lord, what do you think about this matter?"

"You humans are really laughable."

"None of these so-called suspects are correct."

"I don't know..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you. He will not be chosen by the so-called Holy Grail."

"......but."

"Rubbish creature! Do you still dare to question what I said?"

The person who was still pondering it suddenly felt so cold that it made people shiver.

This moody look made the old man tremble all over. Under the pressure of the words, he bowed and apologized, "I dare not."

"Humph......"

The proud man strolled forward, and the old man followed closely.

But at some point his expression changed again.

While the old man was puzzled, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

"Since you have made up your mind, come and see me! As long as you have the courage!"
