Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 570 Matou Sakura who monopolizes Shinji
"Purify the Holy Grail? Don't dream about it. That thing is completely corrupted, the kind that can never be cleaned up."

To give a simple example, if someone puts food in front of you in a clean, dry bucket, would you happily eat it or draw your holy sword and stab them?

Cheng Tian gave a very direct example, which made Artoria frown.

In the past few days, Cheng Tian has disseminated information about the Holy Grail's contamination by the black mud through various means to ensure that all current Fifth War Masters are aware of the Holy Grail's current state.

His intention was to let others know that the Holy Grail had lost its power to grant wishes, and that their wishes were destined to be unfulfilled. Even if they didn't unite, they should at least not sabotage each other while they were working.

But human nature is complex, and those who become Heroic Spirits each have their own stubbornness.

Artoria is the one with the deepest obsession with the Holy Grail, without exception.

To some extent, the legend of the Holy Grail originated from the story of King Arthur, and it has a deep connection with her.

Artoria longs to return to the day of the election of the king, to have someone else pull out the sword in the stone and become the king of Britain. This is the core reason why she accepted the summons for the Fourth and Fifth Wars.

However, during the fourth battle, under the forced command of the Command Seals, she destroyed the Holy Grail, which made her feel that she had been betrayed once again.

So even now that she knows the Holy Grail is corrupted, she still refuses to give up and still wants to use the power of the Holy Grail to fulfill her wish.

Little did she know that the King of Britain was already chosen, and no one else could pull the sword out of the stone.

Her desire to reload the save file was merely a cowardly act of instinctively trying to escape from the reality of becoming queen, unable to accept everything that had happened.

"You too, and that girl too, why do they all like being number eight so much?"

Cheng Tian looked annoyed, but he didn't intend to try to persuade Artoria any further.

To reiterate, those who can be easily persuaded wouldn't be in the Holy Grail War; in fact, many wouldn't turn back even after hitting a brick wall.

"Just so you know, that black mud will have an almost irreversible effect on all living beings, even heroic spirits. It will affect their thoughts, values, and everything else. If you come into deep contact with it, you'll become its puppet. If you insist on touching this monstrous thing and end up being eaten, then I'll just have to take your treasure chest with me!"

Cheng Tian's tone still carried a hint of anticipation.

If Artoria is swallowed by the black mud and becomes Black Saber, then killing her would be a perfectly logical thing to do.

Moreover, in Cheng Tian's view, sometimes it is easier to gain recognition, in terms of strength, when one is an enemy than when one is an ally.

Although she couldn't understand what Cheng Tian was saying, Artoria could still tell that Cheng Tian seemed to be looking forward to being her enemy.

Why are there so few normal Knights of the Round Table around me?
The King of the Sands looked visibly dejected.

This is probably the destiny of Million Arthur.
Arriving and leaving in a hurry, the gluttonous king with ahoge (cowlick) departed with somewhat heavy steps, while Shirou Emiya felt a considerable degree of reluctance to part with the docile (?) living dinosaur.

They even forgot to ask whether the meteorite crater in Xindu was caused by Cheng Tian.

"How is the Matou family doing?"

Watching King Arthur's lonely figure, Cheng Tian contacted December Decapre, who was in charge of monitoring the Matou family.

"Shinji Matou was out of danger and woke up yesterday. Now that he only has his upper body left, he is still frantically smashing and verbally abusing the key observation target named Sakura Matou."

However, based on my observations and experience, this Matou Sakura... seems to quite enjoy this state.

Or, from a psychological perspective, Matou Sakura possesses an extremely unhealthy mental state; she repeatedly exhibits a distorted emotion intertwined with a morbid sense of satisfaction and self-loathing.

DeCaprio on the other end of the phone gave a fairly detailed description of the situation. Yes, Shinji Matou lost his lower body due to Rider's carelessness; not only his legs, but even his buttocks flew off.

But this guy is really tough. Maybe Rider didn't want to be blamed too much by his Master, so he sent the kid back before he died completely and kept him alive with both medical and magical means.

However, this kind of limb loss cannot be filled with a few gems. Shinji Matou has been completely rendered useless and no longer even qualifies as a pawn.

In response, Matou Sakura only slightly reprimanded Rider before throwing herself into taking care of her brother, and for the past three days she hasn't had a chance to contact Emiya Shirou.

Moreover, just as Decapre analyzed, seeing her once arrogant brother, who used to bully her so fiercely, now crippled to this extent, even his outbursts and antics seemed so adorable, gave Matou Sakura a strong and twisted sense of perverse satisfaction.

"The Matou family? Is that the Matou family, the one whose eldest son's butt flew off?"

Just then, Aozaki Touko, who was listening to Cheng Tian's ramblings, entered the lounge with a coffee cup and chimed in after hearing Cheng Tian speak.

Since the Qiuqiu incident, she has simply moved into the laboratory to communicate with Utan about dolls, and has also seen what it looks like when the bio-doll carrying Utan's personality is in operation.

It has to be said, there's definitely something to say about that.

"What, the news got to you?"

Cheng Tian was somewhat surprised by this, thinking that Liangyi Qianye was also collecting information on this kind of situation.

"Yes, this morning the Matou family tried to contact me indirectly, saying they wanted to pay for a custom-made male doll part that fits the lower body. This is the one."

"It seems you've refused."

"Of course~ I don't have time to bother with that kind of thing!"

Orange rolled her eyes at Cheng Tian.

"If I remember correctly, there should be one of my works in the Clock Tower collection... In the end, the Matou family doesn't understand dolls at all, and they're too stingy. Do they think that a custom-made half-body doll is cheaper than a blank doll? If you ask me, they shouldn't think of themselves as Lego; they should just change the body."

Orange's face was full of sneers.

"...I have a question I've wanted to ask for a long time, and I wonder if you could help me answer it."

After holding it in for a while, Cheng Tian suddenly asked.

"Just ask! What kind of behavior is this, a grown man acting all coy and hesitant!"

Orange took a sip of coffee.

"The blank doll you made... does it have reproductive capabilities?"

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Orange sipping coffee into her mouth.

But soon, Orange put down the cup and a wicked expression appeared on her face.

Why do you think I was given a designated seal?

"Also, blank dolls periodically require magic to provide power, and the most direct way to supply magic is..."

Upon hearing this answer, Cheng Tian also revealed the same wicked expression.

Hehehehehe~
