The divine light surrounding Kurumi's body dimmed, and the reverse tree shattered, transforming into countless small stars that circled the divine light universe.
Her internal injuries were severe, with her internal organs heavily damaged and even her heart nearly sustaining a fatal wound!
The secondary divine power slowly healed her injuries, but Kurumi's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, devoid of colour!
Descending from the sky, her divine state was unstable, and her white hair gradually turned grey.
As soon as she landed, a wave of exhaustion swept over her entire body! Stars danced before her eyes, and her vision turned hazy.
Someone ran past her, desperately sprinting towards the collapsed building behind Kurumi, as if a vital relative was trapped under the rubble!
Emiya Kiritsugu looked on in disbelief at everything that had happened. All of this... was his doing!
Almost everyone in the old residential area was dead!
A man wailed, digging frantically through the rubble. Kurumi glanced at him indifferently, holding the black sphere in her right hand and pressing her left hand to her ear.
"Red Queen? Where are you?"
"Master, I was just notifying Aoi Tohsaka, so I'm running a bit late. Oh! I see you!"
The Red Queen's excited voice came through the earpiece, "Should I go into standby mode next?"
"Yes, come to me."
Without a hint of doubt, the Red Queen activated her speed rune and appeared beside Kurumi in the blink of an eye!
Kurumi took out a silver cube, and the alchemy doll, Red Queen, sat on it, slowly closing her eyes. In a moment, the magical energy fluctuations disappeared.
With a flip of her hand, Kurumi concealed the Red Queen's proper form on her body, not putting her into the space backpack.
Holding the spherical 'All the World's Evils,' she could quickly feel the slimy texture, even though it was wrapped in the hexagram, like an octopus tentacle filled with mucus.
'Ding~'
Side Mission: Dream of a Thousand Years (Completed)
Increased suppression of 'All the World's Evils,' final evaluation improved.
'Ding~'
Main Mission: Eliminate All Servants (Completed)
Rewards will be calculated upon returning to the Main God Space.
Remaining time in this dimension: 23:59:59.
Spinning restlessly, the black sphere in her hand suddenly became calm, not emitting a trace of its presence!
Kurumi's eyelid twitched. She finally understood why 'All the World's Evils' was so strong. That cunning Main God only counted the final suppression after the battle ended!
The Main God's voice was mechanical and genderless, and Kurumi guessed it was a system template. The actual Main God was likely wandering through other timelines, trying to gather dimensional essence to restore itself.
Stepping forward, Kurumi didn't dare deactivate her divine state. At the beginning of the side mission, Dream of a Thousand Years, the Main God specified that she would only let her consciousness dominate this time.
And this time was undoubtedly from the start of her divine state to the end of it.
She was about to leap into the Holy Grail, using the tiny holes created by the Heroic Spirit's soul in the Lesser Grail to reach the outer side of the Fate/Zero dimension!
'I hope that's really the outside of the dimension!'
Once she reached the outside, Kurumi could use her mental power to locate another dimension in the void.
At that time, she must find an extremely remote and inconspicuous dimension!
Her heart pounded, and the secondary divine power continued to heal her injuries, improving her complexion.
Approaching the Greater Grail, the dense magical aura was nauseating, still tainted by 'All the World's Evils.'
The Greater Grail was entirely golden, with engravings on its surface. Gripping the 'All the World's Evils' in her hand, Kurumi steeled herself and leapt into the Greater Grail!
Artoria, who had just emerged from the rubble, saw it at that moment!
Her heart turned cold. With a mighty effort, her white, delicate arm, resembling fine mutton fat jade, pulled her whole body out of the rubble!
Completely naked, fortunately, there was no one else around. Emiya Kiritsugu was digging frantically on the other side of the old residential area, and the red-haired boy had already fallen into a daze.
Rushing towards the Greater Grail, Artoria felt the surging magic within her!
Her clothes transformed into the familiar blue dress, her face pale from shock.
"No!!"
With a look of utter sorrow, Artoria watched as the Greater Grail turned into starlight and dispersed into the heavens and earth.
Despite the surging magic within her, mixed with a trace of divine power, Artoria couldn't muster any strength.
When she returned to Camelot, she constantly thought of the fairy-like figure, reminiscing countless times over the years and doing many things against her will to avoid mistakes.
Under the 'Charm' enhancement, the' Blessing of Glorious Appearance' didn't fade with time. Instead, like an aged wine, it only became more fragrant.
Artoria felt lost and devastated. Within a few years of arriving in Camelot, she realised it wasn't her era.
Therefore, her longing for the present world grew, but with the war ongoing, she had to suppress her feelings for the sake of her 'wish.'
Until that night, when she saw Kurumi being devoured by the black mud, her longing finally erupted!
Artoria was never one to be overly sentimental, but she felt abandoned for the first time, like a stray kitten without a home.
Her era had long passed, her companions had all died, Camelot didn't belong to her, and she didn't belong to Camelot.
Now, even her only friend had leapt into the Greater Grail, perishing with 'All the World's Evils.'
What should she do?
Everything in the world seemed so unfamiliar. She just wanted to return to the present to help Kurumi and repay her kindness.
But now, loneliness, guilt, and longing overwhelmed her!
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The girl's anguished cries echoed across the land, tears finally flowing uncontrollably, one drop after another.
How could Artoria not guess the divine power that shot towards her when the black mud swallowed her?
Without that highly concentrated divine power, she would have been entirely consumed by the black mud and not have obtained a physical body as she did now.
The residual divine power within her perfectly resisted the corrosion of 'All the World's Evils.'
After venting her emotions, the golden-haired girl stood up, her eyes red.
She suddenly thought of the little girl beside Kurumi!
'If it's her, she must have some clue about Kurumi, right?'
Artoria consoled herself, looking around at the land filled with evil aura. Determining a direction, she dashed towards her destination!
She would find that girl someday!
Meanwhile, Saber, who had spent decades in the dream, awoke to find herself in a new world. In her divine form, Kurumi, after jumping into the Greater Grail, had reached the stable 'small hole' of the Greater Grail.
The rules here were dizzying, filled with incomprehensible things.
'Is this the Root?'
