Chapter 240 The Holy Grail

Altria was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?

These three questions in life made Altria confused.

She glanced around and opened her mouth slightly.

"Rider, Lancer, are you okay?"

Diarmuid nodded.

"This is just a trial, Saber, haven't you experienced it?"

The King of Conquerors gulped down a bottle of strong liquor and laughed.

Trial?

It's not that she hasn't experienced it.

Before she drew the holy sword, Merlin taught her to travel around the countries and lay the foundation for becoming a king.

However, she is already dead, so does this count as passing the trial?

It seems that he has sensed Altria's true thoughts.

The King of Conquerors explained.

"The trial of the gods is often not about winning the battle."

"It's about human will, courage, or wisdom, etc."

He is known as the son of Zeus, and he can be more or less related to the gods.

Countless heroes under his command have also experienced the trials of gods to varying degrees.

It is impossible to fight against gods as a human being.

Unless under a certain fate.

Only talents can defeat gods by taking advantage of others.

"So we won?"

Altria asked.

The King of Conquerors said nothing and drank heavily.

This is of course obvious.

If they lost, how could they still stand here and talk and laugh together.

"You can say we won, or you can say we lost."

Diarmuid interrupted.

"We lost the duel on the battlefield."

"But from the perspective of gods, we have already won."

Even if a god is not at his peak, he is proud of the weapon that can force out the gods.

"So, the reward for victory is that we can get a chance to make a wish."

Make a wish?

Hearing this, Altria's silly hair stood up instantly.

Aren't they all fighting for the Holy Grail and the chance to make a wish?

Could it be.

"Come with me."

The faces of several people were stern.

Altolia looked up and Luke smiled at her.

"I will purify the polluted Holy Grail and ensure that you have a chance to make a wish."

"Remind you, the wish you make cannot exceed the ability of the Holy Grail."

Hearing this, everyone had different thoughts.

But they all followed Luke.

Strictly speaking, the three heroes in the Colosseum have been eliminated.

The only winner of the Holy Grail War is Luke.

Because his hero has not been eliminated.

But just when this group of hero clones returned to their bodies.

Luke took action.

He directly intercepted the three heroes and forcibly pulled their consciousness down from the Hall of Heroes.

Then he used his magic power to reshape the bodies of the three heroes.

It can be said that these three are actually Luke's heroes at present.

But he has not signed a contract yet.

After all, if the summoning is illegal, it is easy to cause the Holy Grail to activate the backup program.

Leading to some unnecessary Heroic Spirits coming to the world.

After dealing with the Holy Grail, it won't be too late to decide the situation.

Miyama Town.

Everyone looked around curiously.

"Is this where the Holy Grail is buried?"

Waver muttered to himself.

"No, every Holy Grail War will exhaust the spiritual power of the Fuyuki Spiritual Vein, and Fuyuki City has four spiritual veins that are enough to become the Holy Grail's descent, so the Holy Grail's descent will change from time to time."

Luke shook his head.

"But, are you sure you want the Holy Grail to appear?"

Luke's eyes were fixed on Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu had no expression on his face.

Irisviel looked worried.

The Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is divided into the Greater Holy Grail and the Lesser Holy Grail.

The Greater Holy Grail is the main body of the "Winter Saint" Justisa, which is connected to the Fuyuki leyline and draws the magic power from it to carry out the Holy Grail War. It has the power to contact the "Seat of Heroes" and summon the Heroic Spirits in the form of Servant.

She was created by the disciples of the third magician by chance, and she is also the only doll that can use the third magic.

However, the cost of her magic is too high. It takes several years to save just one person, and it is impossible to save all mankind.

Therefore, the magicians decomposed her magic circuit and replaced the human universe with magic - this concept is the Greater Holy Grail.

Thus, the foundation of the Holy Grail War was laid.

The Lesser Holy Grail is a tool to preserve the soul of the dead Servant and stabilize the magic channel between the "Greater Holy Grail" and the real world. It is necessary equipment to achieve the third magic.

Her role is to ensure that the magic of the retired Heroic Spirit is preserved before the Greater Holy Grail can be stably generated.

Unfortunately, the Lesser Holy Grail is generally provided by the Einzbern family.

And the Einzbern family is best at producing artificial people.

Therefore, Irisviel is essentially the "Lesser Holy Grail" made by the Einzbern family!

Madam, your cup is really useful!

(Thumbs up)

Besides the Einzbern family, only Emiya Kiritsugu knew this.

Emiya Kiritsugu had a cold face and didn't say much.

He just nodded calmly.

His mental alienation has not been eliminated, and his entire personality has completely gone to extremes.

The original Emiya Kiritsugu might still be able to struggle for a while.

But now Emiya Kiritsugu can give up everything for his own ideals.

Magicians are paranoid lunatics.

Kenneth is like this, Webber is like this, and the seemingly normal "Magic Killer" is also like this.

Irisviel's eyes darkened.

But she didn't say much. Instead, she tried her best to smile.

"Sorry, Kiritsugu, I can't walk with you anymore."

Artoria noticed something was wrong.

She realized that something seemed to be wrong, that Ellie and the Master were hiding something from her.

"Ellie, you."

Artoria frowned and was about to ask.

He was interrupted by Irisviel.

The silver-haired lady shook her head.

"Sorry, Saber, I lied to you."

"I am actually the Holy Grail"

Irisviel whispered and slowly explained her origins.

Artoria's expression kept changing.

till the end.

"So, the meaning of my existence is to successfully activate the Great Holy Grail."

The dreamy lady like a fairy smiled tenderly.

But as young and innocent as a child.

Artoria couldn't believe it, and she turned to look at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"So, you always knew that Ellie would die, and you still wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War?!"

she questioned.

Emiya Kiritsugu just nodded.

"you!"

Artoria was furious for a moment.

No wonder, no wonder Irisviel still has the innocence of a girl even though she has become a wife.

She has only nine years of emotional life experience, and is actually just a child.

The expressions of the people present were different.

Weber looked stunned.

He, a civilian magician, really couldn't understand it. How could anyone be willing to put their loved ones on the table for an illusory thing?

The conquering king sneered.

It seems that he did not expect that such a ridiculous character would exist in this Holy Grail War.

To be honest, this kind of character is probably only liked by the arrogant King of Heroes.

The conquering king thought so.

Not to mention Kenneth.

As Sora's licking dog, he is terribly stubborn about love.

If Emiya Kiritsugu's obsession with world peace has been alienated to a terrifying degree, then so is Kenneth's love for Sora.

In the original work, he was even betrayed by his fiancée, but he never gave up his love for Sora.

So when it comes to Emiya Kiritsugu's scumbag behavior, Kenneth will only say that this guy really deserves to die.

However, when he looked up, he saw Sora holding Diarmuid's hand, checking his injuries up and down.

Kenneth turned green.

He felt that there was someone who deserved more death than Emiya Kiritsugu.

It would be better to let the gods kill Diarmuid directly.

"It's okay, Liya, this has been something we have agreed on for a long time."

"And, for Kiritsugu's ideals, I am willing to sacrifice everything."

Irisviel held Artoria's hand tenderly, her ruby-like pupils filled with gentleness like the spring breeze.

The purpose of her birth was to facilitate the smooth progress of the Holy Grail War.

This is what she lives for.

What's more, she has feelings for Emiya Kiritsugu.

She naturally loves and trusts her husband Kiritsugu deeply.

Kiritsugu's ideal was her ideal.

My wife has long been aware of this.

Artoria was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Stop Irisviel?

No, this is not possible.

Putting aside Irisviel's own wishes, it was impossible for everyone present to let her save Irisviel.

Including his own wishes, he is also telling the current King of Knights.

Don't do something so stupid.

You've done something wrong once, don't do it a second time.

So, she could only watch her newly made friend die?

She fell silent.

Irisviel smiled gently, as always.

Of course, she soon stopped laughing.

The burden of carrying the Servant's soul will cause her to gradually lose her functions as a human.

"In this case, I will initiate the ritual of the Great Holy Grail."

Luke raised his hand and released the three souls that had been forcibly suppressed before, and rushed directly into Irisviel's body.

Then, Irisviel fell to the ground.

"Ellie!"

Artoria intercepted Irisviel.

However, her body gradually bloomed with light.

Light particles continue to gather and condense into the air.

Eventually, a holy grail floated.

This is the Little Holy Grail, or Irisviel.

Artoria had a complicated expression.

The silver-haired beauty in her arms has lost all vitality, just like an exquisite doll.

Then, a large amount of magic power continued to be transmitted.

The dazzling Great Holy Grail appeared from the spiritual veins.

Just as the Small Holy Grail was getting closer to the Large Holy Grail, Luke raised his hand and pointed.

The two were frozen in mid-air.

"Angora Newman, don't be so anxious."

Luke smiled.

The Great Holy Grail remained unmoved, as if it were a dead thing.

"I've told you before that the Holy Grail has been contaminated. No matter what wish you make, it will develop in the direction of evil."

Everyone nodded.

"So, if you want to get a real Holy Grail, you need a little bit of purification ability."

Luke said as he stretched out his hand.

Dazzling light bloomed.

"I don't know what purification is. After all, I'm not a Western god."

"But I know how to refine!"

Sizzle--

Dazzling white light and roaring thunder continued to condense.

The huge magic power that was almost vomiting continued to gather.

Luke's hand continued to condense into an extreme light spot.

Everyone was a little scared.

The body naturally warned itself frantically, don't get close! Don't get close! Don't get close!

If this is a game.

Then countless red danger warnings would have soared above Luke's head.

Weber trembled.

Will this really not cause the Holy Grail to explode directly?

This is the magic power accumulated by the spirit vein for sixty years.

If the two collide, not to mention the end of the world, at least the entire Fuyuki will definitely be gone.

Moreover, they are currently staying on this front-line battlefield.

"God, this really won't explode"

Before Weber finished speaking, the white ball in Luke's hand had already hit it.

White light!

Endless white light!

In an instant, the world seemed to be left with only white light.

Vast, warm, just like the sun.

False purification: a small green and warm holy light.

Real purification: a nuclear reaction like a solar flare.

"The effect is remarkable, isn't it?"

After an unknown amount of time, the white light in front of everyone gradually dissipated.

Then, the scene in front of them made them stagnate.

I saw that the original deep mountains were completely flattened.

It was as if the laser cannon had wiped this place out, flat and without any beauty.

Luke spread his hands.

The two holy grails in the sky were interacting with each other, transmitting magic power.

"How is it, are you satisfied, have you thought about what wish to make?"

Luke asked with a smile.

Everyone was stunned and silent.

Waver shuddered.

He subconsciously touched his chest.

Am I still alive?

"Huh——"

"The power of God is indeed beyond the comprehension of mortals."

Kenneth was the first to react, with a look of admiration on his face.

As expected of a magician, a self-interested person who seeks profit and avoids harm, he found the right opportunity at the first time.

Sora slumped on the ground.

He didn't dare to touch it, and Diarmuid didn't even look at it.

For her, a mediocre magician, this purification ceremony was indeed beyond the imagination of human beings.

The rest of the people also reacted.

The King of Conquerors drank a sip of wine.

It's not that he had never seen God take action, but now that he saw it again, he just missed it a little.

"I want a body!"

The King of Conquerors smacked his lips and said his ambition without hesitation.

He had already said his wish at the feast of the three kings that night.

He wanted to get a real body! A living body!

Rather than the body of the Heroic Spirit made of magic.

The King of Conquerors wanted to be resurrected again and start his unfinished hegemony again.

Or, to continue the legend again.

Luke nodded.

Among all the wishes of the people present, his wish was the simplest.

"Saber, do you still want to go back to the past and change history?"

The King of Conquerors asked.

Artoria was staring blankly at the two Holy Grails in the sky.

No words. (End of this chapter)
