Let's start with a certain name.
[Sins and the evils of this world continuously circulate, amplify, gather, and transform, forming vortices.]
In this world, he (EMIYA) abandoned justice; in that world, he (EMIYA) turned his back on humanity; in yet another world, he (EMIYA) sacrificed himself.
[Gluttony, lust, greed, melancholy, anger, sloth, hypocrisy, pride, envy, continuously spinning, spinning, violating, occupying, defiling, forming countless vortices.]
And in a certain world, the fate brought by the name dissipated, new fates mingled in, fully accepting all that remained of him (EMIYA).
[Crimes of rebellion, crimes of stolen goods, crimes of intimidation, crimes of adultery, crimes of destruction, great crimes, crimes of coercion, crimes of theft, crimes of escape, crimes of false accusation, crimes of arson, crimes of insult, crimes of disrespect, arbitrary crimes, crimes of kidnapping, crimes of bribery, crimes of abortion, crimes related to suicide, crimes of gambling, kill kill kill, not allowed to kill kill kill, not accepted kill kill kill kill, right and wrong, good and evil, kill kill kill, affirmed kill kill kill kill kill]
That was not just the legacy of one person, the Throne of Heroes, transcending time and space, is selfless, it imposed all 'EMIYA' onto that man; the essence of the Throne of Heroes, being an armory, is selfish, all gifts (Fate) have been marked with a price.
[Right arm cut off, below the waist completely destroyed, spine shattered, skull frozen, left chest blown away, left hand cut off, command spells taken, spine pierced, paralyzed, died from bloodsucking, fell to the ground severely injured, body split apart, melted by a blood barrier, soul extracted turned into a doll, feet cut off taken back to the castle, killed by a sword strike, died from a sneak attack, died in the black mud...]
Cruel wars do not only lead to success, countless EMIYAs have experienced countless failures and endured countless deaths, and it is precisely because of this that the resentment accumulated so far is so profound and difficult to eradicate.
[Must not forget... promised her... to take her to the seaside...]
Always echoing, is the last wish of the man who served as the vessel.
He prayed so hard that the wish itself turned into a curse.
——That is the best breeding ground, the best nourishment for All the World's Evils.
Thus, in the gurgling flow, the body of the white-haired young man was dissolved.
Thus, in the sizzling growth, the tattoo of evil outlined a form, the black mud filled the flesh.
Accompanied by the grating sound of bone friction, the lower body of the body emitting the aura of 'evil' continued to grow, while the upper body eerily stood up like plasticine, the head bent backward as if without support, the pitch-black, black hole-like eyes stared straight at Saber, making her scalp tingle.
However, this newly born creature seemed not very interested in her—after the lower body was fully formed, he stood up unsteadily like a newborn baby, the connection between the head and neck finally restored, the unknown creature stared intently at Nameless in front, then tilted his head after a moment.
"You..."
Nameless frowned.
"What's going on, Angra Mainyu?"
Angra Mainyu, sacrificed as the symbol of all the world's evils, bearing all the sins of the world, was irregularly summoned by the Einzberns in place of Berserker in the Third Holy Grail War as Avenger, his soul was recycled into the Greater Grail, the power of the Greater Grail was polluted by the Avenger formed from the wish of evil into black mud.
In other words—he is the source of the corruption of the Holy Grail War, and also the 'All the World's Evils' that has been lurking within the Greater Grail.
"Angra Mainyu?"
The unknown creature imitated his frown, speaking slowly as if not yet accustomed to speech.
"Who is that? My name should be 'Shirou Emiya'."
"Huh?"
Nameless, upon hearing this, instinctively looked up at the sky.
"It is night... no, after all, the Jeweled Sword does not exist here, the Second Magic is not out of control, Bazett was not sneak attacked by Kirei Kotomine—could it be, Sakatsuki!"
A spear as pure as moonlight suddenly appeared in Nameless's hands, at the same time, his eyes flowed with data-like light.
At this moment, he saw through the 'soul' hidden within this body, finding a seal woven from white-gold light, firmly binding the consciousness of 'Angra Mainyu'.
Nameless knew, that was the product Sakatsuki used to imprison the soul fragments of the great hero Emiya after realizing the impurity of the soul, and after 'Angra Mainyu' entered, it took the place of 'Shirou Emiya', becoming the new prisoner. Clearly, this was a setup Sakatsuki made before his death, to prevent his body from being occupied, and it probably also contained implications against Nameless.
In other words, at this moment, it is the remnant soul of 'the great hero Emiya' that has replaced 'Angra Mainyu', that white-gold seal is the manifestation of the Third Magic, and only the Third Magic that touches the soul could trap Angra Mainyu, who bears the evils of the world.
Somehow, Nameless recalled the words of Caren Hortensia.
"Shirou Emiya is a good man who erases his own desires, not allowing the world's irrationalities."
"Conversely, he is an evil man who permits his own desires, disregarding the world's injustices."
"Since they stand on opposite sides, naturally there are many common points."
"Hmph... it's like demons reflected in two mirrors."
And there are many common points, one of which is the absolute impossibility of taking action against Saber, and—
Yes, the very existence of 'Nameless' is the most serious Bad Ending for the great hero Emiya.
So it's only natural to show hostility...
Sensing the flow of malice, Nameless gently pushed aside Miyu, who was blocking him, sighing helplessly.
"Ah, I originally wanted to save this last bit of strength for Saber, but since it's come to this, you'll have to take it, Shirou Emiya."
Towards the embodiment of hostility, Nameless, as if unaware of the danger, stepped forward on his own, calmly saying.
"Bend your knees, shed tears of gratitude."
As if the burly figure with white hair overlapped with Nameless, his voice once again turned into an unknowable dual tone.
"I am salvation, I am the end."
"I am the embodiment of the world's will!"
As Nameless made this declaration, Saber could sense the detestable aura on him growing stronger, while the familiar aura grew fainter—and for the remnant soul of the great hero Emiya, it was the opposite.
The remnant soul, no different from faded reason, does not think, their instincts are only bipolar, either hostile or friendly, so-called neutrality is a lagging answer given after mental weighing.
For Nameless, as long as 'Shirou Emiya' acknowledges, it is enough.
Deep blue light rose.
That is the universal light, that is the radiance of the Holy Spirit.
Under the immersion of the light, 'All the World's Evils' squinted like a tamed beast, then turned around following Nameless's command, fiercely pouncing towards Saber.
"Since the card to deal with Saber has been played early, then simply dye her black with the black mud, take her down, EMIYA!"
