"Had enough fun, Shakespeare?" Looking at scene after scene before her, Jeanne spoke coldly. Facing Jeanne's stoicism, Shakespeare at this moment couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. There was no helping it; the Jeanne before him was simply too strong-willed.

In the original story, the reason Jeanne lost to Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm was indeed intricately linked to Sieg. Early in her encounter with Sieg, Jeanne saw the destined outcome of Sieg's future battles. But she didn't want this to happen, so she advised him to leave. However, to save his fellow homunculi, Sieg ultimately returned to this great war and gained Siegfried's power. Later, after learning of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's plan, to stop his wish, Jeanne had to gather all forces outside of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

And Sieg's power was naturally among them. Therefore, Jeanne believed that she was the one who dragged Sieg into this Holy Grail War and allowed him to ultimately face a tragic future. So, she could face anything with composure, but she absolutely could not face Sieg's death.

After all, Sieg was just a newly born homunculus, and without any stance, he was "used" by her and ultimately faced death, which Jeanne could not accept.

Thus, feeling guilty, she ultimately lost to Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm.

But now, it was Shirou who formed a connection with her instead of Sieg, and Shirou, as a Heroic Spirit summoned in this Holy Grail War, naturally had an inherent position of being entangled within it.

Therefore, even if Shirou died within the Noble Phantasm, Jeanne would feel regret and pain, but she would absolutely not break down. This was because death was inevitable for Servants.

Thus, at this moment, Jeanne was spiritually impregnable. Facing Shakespeare's various questions and the persuasions of her former comrades, her will was as hard as steel. Otherwise, she could not have transformed from a country girl into a hero of France.

However, although Shakespeare was continuously sweating cold, he was not actually flustered. He could feel that behind him, in the Greater Holy Grail, his Master, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, was about to appear, and his task of delaying for the last moments was about to be completed.

Because Shirou had needed time to refine his magical energy earlier, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada also had relatively ample time. Therefore, at this moment, he was even more at ease than in the original story.

________________________________________

Just then, Shakespeare suddenly felt a violent fluctuation from the Greater Holy Grail behind him. From the Greater Holy Grail, which was filled with immense magical energy, two arms stretched out. Space let out a groaning sound, like the cry of a newborn baby.

Shakespeare immediately understood; this Holy Grail War had essentially ended. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had completely gained control of the Greater Holy Grail, the very root of this Holy Grail War. This meant that the immense magical energy that the Greater Holy Grail had accumulated over many years was now entirely his.

Thinking this, he immediately dispelled his Noble Phantasm, allowing Jeanne to reappear in this space.

"This is!?" As soon as she appeared, Jeanne saw Amakusa Shirou Tokisada standing outside the Greater Holy Grail above, with his arms outstretched, as if embracing the entire world, shouting, "It's realized! My dream is realized here!"

With a joyous shout, the dominator of the Greater Holy Grail was born. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who had emerged from the world of the Greater Holy Grail, finally returned to reality. And the pulsating Greater Holy Grail was the best proof.

At the same time, Semiramis's figure also suddenly appeared in this space. Seeing Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's posture, Semiramis's eyes widened. The red haori he wore in life, combined with a lavish decorative collar, was the attire Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had chosen. Indeed, this was a triumphant return. His long white hair was tied back, exuding the demeanor of a "King" that was no less impressive than the Empress's.

"Is everything going well, my Master?" To Semiramis's question, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada replied in a calm voice: "It is realized, everything, absolutely everything.

Now is the stage of preheating the mechanism. Soon, this Greater Holy Grail will reach the Heaven's Feel, and then, while replenishing magical energy from the ley lines, it will bestow immortality upon all humanity." Looking at Jeanne, who was coldly gazing at him below, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada spoke earnestly: "It's over, Jeanne d'Arc.

Through the Third Magic, my salvation for humanity is about to be realized."

________________________________________

"Third Magic!" Jeanne, of course, knew of the existence of Magic. Especially the Third Magic, which had a significant connection to the Servant system, and as such, the Greater Holy Grail granted knowledge of it to Servants as an exception. Materialization of the soul.

That was the distant miracle desired by the Einzbern, one of the founding families of the Greater Holy Grail.

"That is not half-hearted immortality, but complete immortality, abandoning the shackles of a decaying body. This is not granted to a single individual, but shared by all humanity.

Whether good or evil, it doesn't matter. Passions and selfish desires will fade, and vanity will become meaningless. It is perfect peace! So, Jeanne d'Arc, I ask you again, do you believe my actions are wrong?"

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had finally made his decisive move in the Holy Grail War.

________________________________________

The Third Magic, the materialization of the soul. To universally bestow this magic, which embodies true immortality, upon all humanity, regardless of good or evil. All humanity would become beings that exist solely as souls. Conflicts over resources would disappear, and thus, disputes arising from ideology would also inevitably disappear. The chain of revenge would be severed, and the world would undergo a drastic change.

Its direction would probably lead to eternal peace.

Indeed, as Amakusa Shirou Tokisada said, this salvation was perfect. At the cost of numerous ley lines, humanity would gain immortality. If struggle was the inevitable culmination of selfish desires, then the method of cutting off its root was certainly not wrong.

________________________________________

Jeanne simply couldn't refuse such salvation.

"There is no error, no fallacy, it is so perfect that even you have nothing to say. Perhaps it would have been better if I had talked to you earlier."

"However, some things can only be truly felt after they are achieved. Even if I had revealed my purpose early, you would probably still have stood in my way as an obstacle." Amakusa Shirou Tokisada said, looking at Jeanne who was conflicted.

"Jeanne, open your eyes. You couldn't possibly fail to understand the correctness of his words, could you?"

Gilles stood in front of Jeanne. As Jeanne's comrade in life, he was summoned by Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm in a non-combatant form.

"You know my other name, don't you? The notorious 'Bluebeard.' I committed all sorts of evil acts to blaspheme and betray the Saint! Do you want to hear it?

The screams of those children! The lamentations of various gods in despair!"

"No, don't!" Jeanne knew. That was the end of Gilles de Rais. And the reason for his self-destruction was entirely due to the death of the girl Jeanne d'Arc.

"That's right, their deaths were caused by me, and also

by you! The reason I went mad was out of regret for your betrayal! If you hadn't died, I surely wouldn't have gone mad!" Gilles's appearance changed. His thin, wrinkled face, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, the notorious murderer of France, Bluebeard, stood before her. Jeanne undoubtedly played a very significant role in the breakdown of Gilles de Rais's mind.

"There's no way to bring those children back to life! The past cannot be changed; it's impossible to make death unhappen! But, the future truly exists here! The miracle that can atone for us is here now, Jeanne!" Atonement, atonement is possible. To escape from the guilt of vanished lives and lives erased by oneself, and to let all humanity share in the miracle!

"No god will save us! In that case, we can only save humanity with our own hands! Jeanne, answer me, will you save humanity or not!"

"That's right, this is salvation for all humanity! Jeanne!"

Looking at the wavering Jeanne, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada continued. How he wished he could turn her into an ally, to gain the help of this Saint.

"No, this is not salvation for all humanity, this is just salvation for yourself! Amakusa Shirou Tokisada!" With a loud voice, accompanied by Atalanta and Frankenstein, Shirou finally arrived. Ultimately, all the remaining Servants of the Holy Grail War had finally gathered.
