The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 181 Son, I am your father!

"The Holy Church?"

Uesugi Yue narrowed his eyes, a look of vigilance and confusion slowly creeping onto his face. He had long since switched from being a movie star to being a ramen chef, and had been alone for many years, oblivious to the world outside, so he had never heard of this term.

"You can understand it this way," Father Cervantes walked leisurely in the church, his loud voice echoing in the empty hall, "The Holy Church is a church organization established with the approval of His Holiness the Pope and the 'Solomon's Temple'."

"Mr. Uesugi, we were able to find you because we found records of your incident from our colleagues in the Lyon district of the French Catholic Church—"

"Do you remember that when you were a child, you awakened your Word Spirit and accidentally lost control and destroyed three blocks of Lyon? This is how our Solomon Temple Association and the Snake Eight Clan, to which you originally belonged, worked together to suppress the situation."

"The purpose of our Holy Church is to tell the story of God's love and to help the poor and needy in the world. At the same time, we are also expanding the territory of faith while hunting and eliminating heretics."

"Now, since you are also one of those who recognize the glory of God, why don't you join us and work together?"

Uesugi Yue couldn't help laughing. He felt that the old man's words took him back to the barbaric and bloody Middle Ages. It was like participating in a Renaissance in the form of a "witch hunt". This idea was simply stale, smelly and fantastic, like an old book turned out from the dust of history, exuding a decayed smell.

"Heretic?" Uesugi seemed to be mocking him softly. "I'm sorry, I only want to help the poor and my neighbors. I have no interest in hunting heretics."

Uesugi Yue had never heard of the Templar Church and the Order of Solomon's Temple, but judging from the fact that they were able to investigate the identity of his Shadow Emperor, they should be somewhat similar to mixed-race forces like the Secret Party.

If these people thought that they could rely on their common "Christian faith" to encourage Uesugi Yue to join their ranks and provide their precious Shadow Emperor bloodline, or to serve as the number one general of the Holy Church and charge bravely everywhere to expand their territory, they were greatly wrong.

Uesugi Yue chose to believe in religion not for God itself, but because of his thoughts about his mother and his atonement for a life full of sin and regret. His faith is a kind of self-salvation, not for participating in some grand mission.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood," Cervantes' eyes contained some deep meaning, as if he could see through Uesugi Yue's thoughts.

"Your Excellency was once the Shadow Emperor of the Eight Snake Clan, so you must be familiar with the secrets of the dragon race and the hybrids. The mission of our Holy Church also involves maintaining peace in the surface world and preventing those dangerous forces hidden in the dark from getting out of control, especially those related to our church."

"And the Holy Grail War that is happening in Tokyo right now is exactly what we need to monitor and guard against."

Father Cervantes noticed Uesugi Yue's doubts and explained:
"While you are still holding on to the community church, the changes in the world outside have exceeded the expectations of us old people, such as the Holy Grail War."

"Someone is using the 'Holy Grail' that can grant all wishes as a pretext to start a Holy Grail War in which terrible Heroic Spirits fight against each other. Those Heroic Spirits are all famous heroes from past times. They have extraordinary combat power and due to their special nature, they are not afraid of modern guns and artillery attacks. Anyone who qualifies to participate in this Holy Grail War will have the opportunity to control Heroic Spirits."

"Think about it, if this kind of news is publicized, how many people can withstand such temptation? Tokyo is already in a dangerous situation where a storm is about to come..."

"enough!"

There was a hint of impatience in Uesugi Yue's voice, as if he was suppressing his inner irritation.

"I am not interested in the Holy Grail War you mentioned. Since you want to manage the Holy Grail, then go ahead! Let me be frank, the church should be a place to provide assistance to the poor and needy, and to comfort and guide the lost souls. It is not a place for you to kill people for profit! You have found the wrong person. You should find the Eight Snake Families!"

Apart from missing his mother and repenting his sins every day, Uesugi Yue is thinking about his son and daughter, and has no intention of "leading the army to war".

The old priest seemed to have anticipated Uesugi Yue's answer, and his tone was meaningful:
"You still don't see the situation in Tokyo clearly. Under the huge wave of the Holy Grail War, even the Eight Snake Families were only forced to be involved. It can be seen that Tokyo is so big that it can no longer accommodate this small Peace Church."

"…If the Holy Grail War in the future spreads to countless neighborhoods, leaving countless Tokyo citizens homeless, do you still think we should stay in the church?"

Cervantes threw down the last words, took the nuns out of the church gate, and left decisively without trying to persuade Uesugi Yue again.

Uesugi Yue stood there, staring at the church door slowly closing, and the bright light began to shrink. 'The Eight Snake Clan... participate in the Holy Grail War...'

He was not originally moved by the words of the Holy Church, but the information mentioned by the other party made him alert. The Eight Snake Qi families participated in the Holy Grail War... a dangerous war that sounded beyond his cognition, and one of his sons was the current Shadow Emperor of the Eight Snake Qi families. The Emperor was an important fighting force of the family. If there was a critical moment during the war, the Emperor would definitely have to take the field. How many forces would be affected by this dangerous war? Would the secret party also join in? Would his son die heroically in the process?
Uesugi Yue squatted in the church and pondered for a long time. Finally, he realized that he couldn't hesitate any longer. He had to recognize his children together! If he didn't recognize them, it would be too late!
He could never forget the tragedy of his mother in the past years. Life is a series of hasty farewells. Perhaps the child is like a kite that flies high into the sky and breaks away from the nest. The long line of family affection will be quietly severed in a farewell at some point in time.

This time, he not only wanted to make up for the connection, he wanted to protect his children if possible!
At this time, there was another knock on the church door.

The voices of a man and a woman could be heard faintly outside - "There are so many churches in Bunkyo Ward, is it necessary to choose this small community church? Will the target be here?"

"You don't understand this, do you? Let's investigate one by one first. I tell you, these churches like to rely on local cross organizations to arrange their affairs, and they may even choose churches as their bases! The St. Mary's Cathedral next door is too conspicuous as a location. Looking at all the churches in Bunkyo District, this one is the most shabby. Maybe there are some clues... What do you think, am I smart?"

"I really admire you. I sincerely hope that Miss Charlotte will have the best luck this time!"

"It's not just luck! I'm relying on my genius brain!!"

Uesugi Yue was about to explode. This church so early in the morning was not a place for young couples to come in and play, visit, and show their affection...but the male voice seemed a little familiar.

"Here we go! Young men, please knock less hard. This door can't stand the tossing and turning of your hands..."

Uesugi Yue opened the door from the inside again, and met the collective gazes of Charlotte with light blonde hair, and Emiya and Eri, a pair of red-haired men and women.

What? Why are they the ones?
"Hey, old man, are you here to work so early—"

"Hey, why is it Master Yue? Are you just here by chance to be an assistant?"

Charlotte and Emiya were surprised one after another, and then Eri also wrote quickly on her notebook, "Good morning, Master Yue!"

"Hey, it's you guys, hahaha what a coincidence, this is really a coincidence!"

Uesugi Yue's pupils trembled slightly, and he tried hard to calm down, but he couldn't hide his excitement. His eyes swept over Emiya's handsome face and tall figure, as well as the unique beauty of Eri next to him in a loose shrine maiden costume, and finally his expression changed to one of slight satisfaction.

As expected of my descendants, each of them is in good condition, half as good as I was when I was young...

Charlotte was puzzled. "Do you know each other?"

"Of course I know him!" Emiya answered decisively, "Master Yue sells ramen in the alley behind the Todai University in Bunkyo Ward. He has been doing this for decades and his skills are very solid! Everyone who has eaten there says it's really good!"

"Hey, it's not as exaggerated as you say!"

Uesugi Yue was so excited by what he was saying that he almost forgot about his "father-son recognition". He quickly waved his hand and motioned for Emiya and the others to come into the church. "The door is not a place to talk. Come in. This church is quite big."

"Oh, yes, yes, that's a coincidence. We also have something to say to you."

After inviting a few people in, Uesugi Yue carefully closed the door.

Then he turned around and took a deep breath, first looking at Emiya and Eri with a serious look.

"…Emiya-chan, and Eri, I might be your real father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a cluster bomb was dropped into the church, deafening everyone and shocking the whole world.

"Huh?" Emiya was confused. What kind of new parent-child relationship is this? We just came to talk to you, but you want to be our father?
