"Unlimited Lost Works..."
The Big Hero Emiya looked at Emiya Alter with a bitter smile, whose Reality Marble had even changed. Why had the former Ally of Justice fallen so far? Because his heart had long since decayed, and he had no expectations for himself anymore.
If Shirou Emiya's future was to be judged by others, and he died on the gallows, thus becoming the Heroic Spirit Emiya, then Emiya Alter's appearance might be Shirou Emiya's self-judgment...
People will find various reasons and excuses for their actions, even when bullying others, to lessen or eliminate their guilt!
However, Emiya the Big Hero could not say whether Emiya Alter's method of strangling himself was right or wrong. He could only say that he was too cruel to himself.

At this moment, Archer was sitting in the courtyard, looking at the dual guns on the screen. He then projected them out and held them in his hands.
"This might be the final outcome after I upheld my ideals."
Upholding the ideal of being an Ally of Justice, he personally killed his closest kin, yet he could not escape the condemnation of his inner self and was consumed by guilt, becoming Emiya Alter...
"However, these dual guns are quite beautiful."
Rin Tohsaka was grumbling,
"The Clock Tower, the Mage's Association... are they all dead?! Not a single person came out to deal with that woman, Kiara Sessyoin!"
That dark, murky body, covered in golden cracks like her inner self, made Rin Tohsaka feel a pang of distress.
In her opinion, if someone had stepped in, a half-baked magus like Shirou Emiya wouldn't have ended up like that!
Shirou Emiya silently watched Emiya Alter's deeds from the side. He realized that this might not be a parallel world, but rather a possibility named 'Shirou Emiya'...
So Shirou Emiya fell silent. For someone who had reached the end, a bystander like himself might not have the right to judge. Emiya Alter might have done many wrong things and carried corresponding sins.
At least he tried his best. At least at the final destination, he fell into the deepest darkness, yet remained a martyr who looked up at the stars.
.....
[ The screen continued to play Emiya Alter's story. The deep-sea oil field SERAPHIX, which had close ties with Chaldea, suffered an accident and was about to sink to the bottom of the sea. ]
[ In reality, its interior had already been digitized, with electronic Servants battling each other. The Animusphere family, which originally controlled the deep-sea oil field, had been secretly conducting human experiments. ]
[ The Demon Pillar Zepar, who escaped from the Temple of Time, lurked in the deep-sea oil field SERAPHIX to repair its physical body. It sealed and computerized it, attempting to heal while experimenting with humans as data. ]
[ To this end, it possessed Kiara Sessyoin in this world, erased her only good side, and synchronized her with SE.RA.PH's Kiara Sessyoin, transferring the parallel world's Kiara's experiences to the host. ]
[ However, it was instead dominated by Kiara Sessyoin... and was finally driven to collapse by this woman, begging her to let it go. A mighty Demon Pillar reduced to a toy! ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Demon Pillar?! Sounds a bit familiar, but I wonder if it has any connection to Solomon's 72 Demon Pillars?"
Viewers from other worlds heard this title for the first time. The title "Demon Pillar" did sound quite grand, but its deeds, well, they felt a bit embarrassing.
~Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea~
"..."
Dr. Roman and Da Vinci fell silent after seeing this scene. Even Ritsuka Fujimaru truly didn't know what words to use to describe this Demon Pillar. Zepar's series of actions left him utterly confused.
This might be the most miserable Demon Pillar in history. He even felt a little pity for it...
But they never expected that Kiara Sessyoin, a human, could actually dominate a Demon Pillar! It seemed they had underestimated this seemingly harmless woman.
"And the Animusphere family... Isn't that the old director's family? They're actually secretly conducting human experiments! It seems we need to investigate this first."
Meanwhile, in the Temple of Time.
"How can there be such a disgraceful Demon Pillar?!"
As the First BEAST, Goetia covered his face with his hand, feeling utterly humiliated. A mighty Demon Pillar being dominated by a woman was bad enough.
To be driven to collapse and become a toy, even desperately begging the other party to let it go... Zepar... if it can't handle it, it should just leave the group. What a disgraceful thing, a freak among the Demon Pillars. It really lowered their standards.
~Yondemasu Yo, Azazel-san World~
"Huh?! There are Demon Pillars there too!"
Akutabe was initially puzzled, then his face darkened with black lines after reading the description.
What kind of disgraceful thing is this?! The face of Solomon's 72 Demon Pillars is practically thrown away.
.....
[ Getting back to the main story, Emiya Alter at this time didn't know why he was summoned, only acting to understand the mastermind. ]
[ After learning some facts from BB, he tried to eliminate all employees of the deep-sea oil field SERAPHIX to thwart the Animusphere family's human experiments. ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Uh... he actually planned to kill all the employees. It's just like him. The justice upheld by an inverted Ally of Justice is still being executed."
Even in this seemingly twisted way, as the saying goes, "body like steel," Emiya Alter's heart must be even harder than steel. So even with such distortion, the justice in his heart did not dissipate.
But precisely because of the distortion, the way he executed justice became so extreme. Perhaps, as he said, his heart had already decayed, so he no longer held any expectations for himself.
.....
[ However, after killing a female employee named Marble, he discovered that she was the mastermind hidden there—Kiara Sessyoin! ]
[ Emiya Alter was visibly astonished, "Impossible! This aura is... this Spirit Origin is...!!" ]
[ Kiara Sessyoin, whose experiences were synchronized with a parallel world, naturally recognized Emiya Alter. She said in a teasing tone, "You haven't forgotten, have you? Or perhaps, it was stripped away when you became a Heroic Spirit?" ]
[ Kiara Sessyoin then spoke of Emiya Alter's past, which was the life story of Emiya Alter in the previous chapter. ]
[ Emiya Alter became enraged and decisively fired his gun at her, "You—you are—!!" ]
[ Kiara Sessyoin was unfazed by Emiya Alter's attack and continued, "To kill the guru, you killed everyone in the building, because they didn't want me to be killed, did they?" ]
[ "To prevent me from escaping, you had no choice but to kill, crushing everyone like ants. Only after doing that much, did you finally kill me... You killed me—didn't you?!" ]
[ Emiya Alter did not deny it, admitting the fact, "I did kill. At least I killed the body." ]
[ Kiara Sessyoin rather enjoyed Emiya Alter's obsession with killing her, "You must have been very happy, but also so bored that you wanted to jump from the rooftop, didn't you?" ]
[ "Your actions, while calling yourself an Ally of Justice, are a pleasant thing, but you yourself are a ridiculous, boring man." ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Heh, how ironic. The culprit who caused Shirou Emiya to become Emiya Alter actually met him again here..."
"This Kiara Sessyoin has good eyesight. She can recognize Shirou Emiya even after he's become like this. But... she's gotten so bold this time, daring to stand in front of Emiya Alter!"
Everyone watched this scene with gritted teeth. This Kiara Sessyoin really isn't human, openly rubbing salt in his wounds.
However, being able to dominate the power of a Demon Pillar might be the reason she dared to stand before Emiya Alter.
~Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Worldline~
"Rather than ridiculous, he's a collection of contradictions. He's in hell, gazing at heaven!"
Emiya the Big Hero clearly disagreed with Kiara Sessyoin's statement.
Arbitrarily taking the lives of others violated the fundamental principle of humanity, which is why Emiya Alter was in such agony.
On one hand, reason told him that killing was an unjust act! On the other hand, reason also told him that if evil Viewers were not eliminated, the world would become even more chaotic.
So he struggled and suffered. Only by abandoning this painful theory could he find some peace.
But he was an Ally of Justice. When he abandoned these things, he broke down and became an executioner.
However, to protect the good things in the world, he had to set aside the justice he had always upheld and chose to kill, killing everyone in the building!
Even in his downfall, he merely transformed from an 'Ally of Justice' into an enemy of evil, still striving to eliminate harmful things for humanity.
.....
[ Kiara Sessyoin, who dominated the Demon Pillar's power, did not put Emiya Alter in her eyes. In a few moves, she severely wounded him. "This won't do. Such reckless attacks, your limbs will be easily broken, won't they?" ]
[ "You want to escape from me so, so badly, but whatever you do is useless." ]
[ "'You killed innocent civilians.' As long as you continue to feel guilty about that fact. Is that right? Someone like you, even if you didn't encounter a poisonous moth like me, would eventually go to hell, wouldn't you?" ]
[ "As long as it's a sin, no one can be forgiven, and such a heart and mind are also incurable human evils." ]
[ "A heart of steel... is not something humans can possess. At least... dissolve and be reborn like the Saber devoured by me here." ]
[ Looking at the severely wounded Emiya Alter lying on the ground, Kiara Sessyoin seemed to take pleasure in having avenged her past self in a certain world who was killed by him. "The lingering resentment of my self in your world has finally been resolved." ]
[ "What kind of person are you? Why did you twist your beliefs and resolve to kill me?" ]
[ "Yes, you had to kill me!" Kiara Sessyoin seemed to be asking herself, "Because in that world, only you noticed the outcome of my transformation." ]
[ .....]
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
Rin Tohsaka bit her fingernails, deep in thought. She finally understood why the Mage's Association and the Clock Tower didn't intervene back then—it was because no one had noticed!
"Kiara Sessyoin's 'transformation'... what does that mean?"
This was what puzzled Rin Tohsaka the most. What did Emiya Alter perceive back then?! To the extent that he twisted his beliefs and resolved to kill her.
