That world is beyond saving; Earth's life force has been depleted. Experiments simulating the 'Steel Earth' will only plunge humanity into the abyss.

[But if it were you, there's still hope. Use the Holy Grail to fill the world's void; that way, you can continue to exploit the world for a long time.]

The great source is depleted, the land of steel, the Holy Grail, draining the pond to catch all the fish.

"So, this is what you meant, old man..."

Ignoring Julian's shock, anger, and despair, Shuoyue looked at the cracked earth and the sandy clods of soil, and finally understood the words that the Jewel Elder had spoken to him when he came into this world.

This world is sliding towards the 'Steel Land' ending, one step ahead of all other parallel worlds.

Even with the Holy Grail in his hands, he was as powerless as a child in the face of the death of the entire planet.

The young man slowly clenched his fist, holding the Holy Grail, closed his eyes, and softly asked himself a question.

Do we still need to save the world?

Yes, I absolutely must.

He was a man who generously gave everything to Miyu, not just for Miyu, but also for Shirou.

Without Shirou Emiya's sacrifice, he wouldn't be standing here, let alone have everything he has now.

The man named 'Shuoyue' has his foundation here, and his salvation lies here.

So let's save it, even if this world is already dead.

—Even if it means using these hands to plunder more desires, or even to pluck the moon from the sky!

As the young man shouted, the encyclopedia within him seemed to respond, trembling and emitting light, moving without wind.

[A resonance of wills has been detected. The inherent skill "Endless Sorrowful Wish" is forcibly activated!]

[The prayer has been received, the servant has been drawn in, and processing has begun. The servant's class has been determined!]

[Begin constructing Servant intelligence, adding skill slots, confirming message resonance, and infusing the container!]

[Infusion complete, ownership transfer confirmed, individual name updated!]

[New moon, launch begins!]

In the distant future, a young man appeared in the summoning circle, and slowly opened his eyes under the fanatical, even insane, gaze of the summoner.

Salvation, or destruction?

Fate seemed to be mocking, watching the assassin clad in black.

Come on, let me see just how determined you are.

--Savior.

A new chapter begins! The next story is about Alicization and Brotherhood, so please look forward to it!

Chapter 376 Summoning, Rainbow Blue

Chapter 377 Summoning, Rainbow Blue

Let's talk about the history of the world.

The Holy Grail War. This is the struggle surrounding the Holy Grail, which can grant countless wishes.

When the procal pronoun "Fuyuki" is added, it refers to an extremely special war in which magicians summon Heroic Spirits as Servants and fight each other until only one remains.

On the eve of World War II, which broke out due to Germany's invasion of Poland, the Third Holy Grail War was held in Fuyuki City.

Seven individuals, each driven by their own selfish desires, prepared to fight each other to the last man, but an unexpected event occurred during the war: the Lesser Grail shattered. The Holy Grail War itself, at that moment, had already ambiguously ended.

The problem is, what happened after that?

What makes it fatal compared to other timelines is that the strongest national power in the world has squeezed in onto the stage where magicians engage in ugly battles for their desires.

A magician who supported Nazi Germany discovered the all-powerful wish machine hidden in Mount Enzo and attempted to transfer it using military force.

The Einzbern, Tohsaka, and Matou families fought valiantly to stop this conspiracy, but ultimately failed due to their extreme weakness after the Holy Grail War. The Greater Grail, which the three families had painstakingly built, was seized by Nazi Germany.

This battle is neither documented in any documents nor recorded on video, and it doesn't even exist in people's memories. But the fact that a tragic war broke out between the military and the magicians is undeniable.

What's even more interesting is that the Holy Grail, which was supposed to become a symbol of the Third Reich and realize the dream of world unification, disappeared without falling into anyone's hands.

Those responsible were replaced, those involved were sent to the battlefield, and the whereabouts of the Greater Grail were completely hidden in the sands of history—after all, those who knew about the Greater Grail were no longer there. A magician belonging to Nazi Germany, who called himself "Yogdomirenia (the Thousand Trees)," also disappeared during a mission.

However, with the unusual situation of "national intervention" as an opportunity, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki came to an end, and the system of this Holy Grail War itself was also spread among magicians all over the world as intelligence.

The subspecies Holy Grail Wars quickly spread across the world. However, most of them were small-scale, summoning at most five Heroic Spirits, and even if the ritual was completed, it could not fulfill any omnipotent wish.

Who will ultimately possess the Greater Grail? Where is the treasure that grants the power to fulfill all wishes now?

Generation after generation of magicians, filled with curiosity and longing, fell one after another in the futile war between subspecies, growing old in the process—a long period that turned children into old men.

The Greater Grail has finally been discovered.

Rather than saying it was discovered, it's more accurate to say we now know who hid it and preserved it to this day.

Let's start with the location.

It is located in Tulipas, a city on the outskirts of Romania, nestled within the city's oldest building, the Fortress of Mirania. (Note: The term "fortress" is used to distinguish it from "millennial city.")

Let's discuss the problem further.

The Greater Grail is not ownerless; the lord of the fortress of Millennium is Yggdrasil, the Yggdrasil.

Yes, they are the family of magicians who once belonged to Nazi Germany and discovered the Greater Grail.

Perhaps it was the Greater Grail that gave this race a unique confidence, which led them to immediately declare their defection from the Clock Tower after announcing that they possessed the Greater Grail.

The reason for their rebellion is quite simple: the Yggdmirena family is not a noble family.

There are three great noble families in the Clock Tower, and twenty families that are essentially related to them. The Yggdomerene family belongs to neither of these groups and has no connection to them, despite their long history.

Some say this is due to its defeat in past power struggles, others say it stems from discord with the three noble families, and still others say it's because of the wicked nature of its magic circuits, which led to it being kept at a distance. However, the real reasons remain unknown.

Regardless, they have always been ostracized by prestigious magic families.

For this reason, the Yggdrasilia clan abandoned the traditional practice of 'accumulating knowledge generation after generation, making the bloodline of magicians more profound, and exhausting the magic system chosen by the first generation,' and instead gathered together magicians who had extensive but superficial connections with the clan.

Those targeted include families with a short history and poor magic circuits. There are also families that have begun to decline, with their magic circuits becoming increasingly impoverished with each generation. There are also families that have been punished by the Mage's Association and have bounties on their heads... that is, a group of people who, even if they have left the center of the Mage's Association, have not completely given up on reaching the Root.

Yggdrasil's middle name is entirely derived from the family names they acquired in this way in the past. They haven't even standardized their magic crests yet. They inherit their family crests intact.

The magical systems they studied were also very broad. Western alchemy, black magic, witchcraft, astrology, kabbalah, runes, and even the Japanese Yin-Yang Dao were all studied by members of their clan.

In terms of strength, the members of the Thousand World Tree are generally second-rate, with occasional first-rate figures, but that's about it.

However, despite possessing the highest-level treasure, the Greater Grail, they one day turned their backs on the Clock Tower and decided to create a new association centered on their own race.

The story of the Holy Grail War begins here.

In the mighty torrent of history, every drop of water and every grain of sand seems insignificant.

But we still want to tell the story of a family.

They were not nobles and were ostracized in the Clock Tower, so they angrily sought refuge with the World Tree. However, their excessively extreme and powerful black magic aroused the suspicion of the World Tree patriarch, as well as the jealousy and persecution of their peers.

Finally, during an extremely dangerous mission, the family patriarch, the only first-rate magician, died in a monster rampage. The magic mark he managed to save was completely destroyed and beyond repair.

After being exploited to the last drop of their value, even the World Tree abandoned them. Their ancestral territory was taken away, and they were forced to eke out a living in their city dwellings.

However, the family members did not give up. An old magician from a collateral branch took the initiative. Revenge drove them to stop at nothing and eventually found the family rumored to be tainted by demons. From them, they obtained the method to make a deal with demons.

The summoned demon readily granted the desperate plight of the thugs, handing them pages recounting ancient legends and coded messages for the intervention ritual.

【Since that's the case, your souls, your existence, everything you possess will belong to me. In return, I will also allow you to overturn this world and throw everything into chaos, hahahaha…】

Perhaps even the patriarch of the Thousand World Tree could not have imagined that the power of revenge could be so terrifying.

After sacrificing everything for their entire clan, this family, whose very name had been forgotten by the world, gained the power to shake the entire Holy Grail system.

At three-quarters past midnight on a certain day, candlelight flickered in a dilapidated mansion where people couldn't afford the electricity bill.

Even older than the previous family, the old man, like withered tree bark stuck to his bones, trembled and cried out incantations of revenge as if weeping blood.

Announce.

"Your body obeys my command, my destiny is entrusted to your sword. If you follow the will of the Holy Grail, and act in accordance with this principle, then respond!"

At the center of the magic circle drawn with human blood, lay a tattered book page, which turned to ashes the moment the old man spoke, merging into the magic patterns.

The decaying magic circuits activated, and the old man's body creaked under the strain. Pus and blood flowed from his eyes as the surging magic ravaged and humiliated him.

"I hereby swear."

"I am the one who brings about all good in the world, and I am the one who commits all evil in the world!"

The pain from the chaotic magic circuits and the fear of their rampage tormented them relentlessly. Nevertheless, the desire for revenge sustained the old man, allowing him to hold the highest level of mystery tightly in his hands.

Following the demon's warning, the old man struck his chest hard, and his life-giving blood gushed out, instantly turning the bright red magic circle a deep blue.

At this moment, the demon's magic merged with the old man's blood, and through the passage of the magic circle, it activated the laws of the Holy Grail system.

At the same time, the old man finally uttered his last words in a hoarse voice:

"Your seven days, bound by the three great incantations, came from the Wheel of Restraint, guardians of the scales!"

As he made his pronouncement, a strong wind suddenly arose, and the old man was blown away. He was hurriedly supported by numerous members, and even though he was coughing up blood, he still let out a ghostly laugh.

"Hehehe... It's here! I can feel it! The messenger of vengeance is emerging from the valley!"

Under the members' gazes, which were filled with either panic or fear, 'he' appeared on the ground.

A dazzling light emanated from the intricately woven magic circle. In an instant, a miracle materialized.

The storm subsided, and the dazzling light gradually diminished. Then, a figure appeared in the magic circle.

A cloak, as black as a shadow, fluttered, and in the shadow cast by the hood, the young man looked with his ethereal eyes at the swarm of people before him, which resembled a dark mass of ants. Finally, his gaze settled on the old man at the very front—on the Command Seal in his hand.

“'Blue' came at the invitation of the summons.”

The shadows concealed her face, yet her beautiful, iridescent eyes were as cold as if they came from the abyss.

"Are you mine?"
