Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

Why did the Holy Grail, which the Einzberns sought to fulfill their long-cherished wish, turn out like this?

"The problem lies in the Third Holy Grail War..."

Yahweh was not impatient and explained to Irisviel and the other girls who were also somewhat confused about the situation.

"During the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family violated regulations by summoning the eighth Heroic Spirit, 'Avenger'..."

Avenger's true identity is Angra Mainyu, the evil god of Zoroastrianism.

No, or rather, it should be called 'humans treated as Angolan Manuel'.

Although the original body was just an ordinary human youth, this "Angola Mainyu," forged by the evil of humanity, has in a sense become an anti-hero symbolizing the concept of "all the evil in this world."

Although his combat strength was mediocre, after his defeat and the absorption of his soul by the Holy Grail, Angra Mainyu, who carried the concept of "all the evil in this world," corrupted the Holy Grail and became what he is now.

"So, the Holy Grail is no longer usable?"

After hearing Yahweh's explanation, the black cat beside him asked with considerable curiosity.

"No,"

Upon hearing this, Yahweh gently shook his head.

"The Holy Grail still retains the ability to grant wishes, but it will likely grant your wish in a rather distorted way."

"distortion?"

"It's roughly like this: if you wish to become the smartest person in the world, then the Holy Grail will kill all the people smarter than you, thus fulfilling your wish."

"Ah, this... is quite twisted..."

Upon hearing Yahweh's words, the black cat shuddered slightly.

"In that case... the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish..."

After all, he was an android from Einzbern, so seeing the Holy Grail in this state naturally evoked mixed feelings in him.

"It's alright, it's not a troublesome problem."

For Yahweh, "all the evil in this world" is not a difficult problem to solve. With his holy light, he can easily purify it.

However, with the idea of making use of waste, Yahweh erased the will within it and put it away.

"Alright, who among you has any wishes to place on the Holy Grail?"

Having resolved the pollution of "all the evils of this world," Yahweh asked the girl beside him this question, and unsurprisingly, received no answer.

After all, the group members were there for the event mission, and the reward for completing the mission was a Holy Grail for each person, so they naturally had no interest in this so-called "Cave of All Power".

As for the Red Team's Heroic Spirits, none of them had any desires to fulfill through the Holy Grail.

Even Lily, the pure white king who has just embarked on the path to becoming a king, does not share the same tragic wish as the blue knight king.

"Then, it's your turn, Alice."

Seeing this, Yawes turned his gaze to Mrs. Allie beside him.

The Holy Grail War is essentially a massive ritual system planned and constructed by the Einzbern, Tohsaka, and Matou families in order to reach the "Root".

While the cauldron known as the Holy Grail can indeed grant wishes to a certain extent, its true purpose is to reach the Root.

By infusing the souls of deceased Servants into the Lesser Grail, and using their power to return to the Throne of Heroes located outside the world, a hole is pierced through the world. The immense magical power accumulated in the Greater Grail is then used to fix this hole, thus creating a portal to the outside world.

Chapter 184: A Gaze Within the Root

To use the power of the Holy Grail to reach the Root and achieve the Third Law has been the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family for many years.

Although Irisviel, influenced by the members of the chat group, did not regard the realization of the Third Law as everything as her grandfather, Ahad.

However, if she could fulfill the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish, she would naturally not refuse.

"However, even with the power of the Holy Grail, it is extremely dangerous for a mortal body to reach the 'Root'..."

The Holy Grail system created by the three starter families is quite comprehensive. Generally speaking, as long as no unexpected events occur along the way, the possibility of reaching the Root is still very high.

However, this system's only function is to help users reach the root cause, but after reaching the root cause...

That requires users to take initiative.

But can you just walk into a place like the root of the problem?

Without going into detail, basically all beings that enter the source will be assimilated by the "Vortex of the Source" and then have their existence completely erased.

"I'll go with you..."

However, with Yahweh, an ancient god-level being, by her side, even the "Root," who is "the beginning and end of all things, the recorder of everything in this world, and the creator of the throne of the gods," would not pose any danger to her.

At the same time, Yahweh was also quite interested in the so-called "Vortex of Origin".

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Yahweh..."

Irisviel understood what the so-called "Vortex of Origin" truly represented, and spoke softly to Yahweh.

Then, Yahweh led Irisviel to the outer reaches of the world and into the Root.

[All phenomena have a most fundamental cause, which is absolute. As the beginning and the end of this universe, there lies the "record of everything." Rather than a "record," it's not so much "existence" as information, but simply "existence." It has no consciousness of its own, nor can it have directionality. It is merely a flowing cause, a cause like a vortex of origin. Everything in this universe flows from and originates from that vortex.]

This is Tsukihime Remake's description of the "Vortex of Origin".

Without a doubt, if an ordinary human magician were to enter, he would probably be assimilated by the information within instantly.

Even with Yahweh's protection, looking at the mystery flowing within the Root, she still felt a faint sense of dizziness.

"It really... has a special feeling..."

Irisviel suddenly spoke up with a sigh.

"According to my original destiny, I should have become a sacrifice in the Holy Grail War as the 'Minor Grail.'"

"Now that we can reach the root and achieve the third law, it is all thanks to Mr. Yahweh and everyone in the chat group. I really don't know how to thank them enough."

"There's no need for that. If you really care, you can use your own abilities to help everyone in the chat group later."

In response to Irisviel's words, Yahweh replied in this manner.

"And what about Mr. Yahweh?"

The pure white snow sprite, with her beautiful scarlet eyes wide open, asked Yahweh in this way.

"...You should be more grateful to Zabiko than to me, shouldn't you?"

"……indeed……"

After all, Zabiko has been by her side since the beginning of her life, and still is now.

It can be said that in Irisviel's heart, Zabiko absolutely occupies an irreplaceable position.

However, Irisviel also vaguely understood that a large part of the reason why Zabiko came into her world was because of Yahweh.

Moreover, no matter how close she and Zabiko were, their relationship could only ever be that of friends.

But Yahweh...

Recalling her daughter's words, Mrs. Alice felt her cheeks burning slightly.

“Ilya…she likes you very much, Mr. Yahweh…”

The pure white snow maiden murmured softly.

"Ok?"

"If Mr. Yahweh really is her father, then the child will be very happy..."

As if recalling her daughter's adorable appearance, Mrs. Ellie couldn't help but smile slightly.

After making these suggestive remarks, Irisviel quickly changed the subject.

"Next, I'll complete the third law... and I'll leave that to Mr. Yahweh as well!"

However, Yahweh did not pay attention to her words, nodded slightly, and used holy light to protect her soul.

Irisviel also used the information within the Greater Grail to complete the Third Law through the Root.

Yahweh used this time to begin to feel the Root.

As for the "ultimate goal of the magician," Yahweh had no feeling about it.

After all, the so-called origin was, in his view, nothing more than a rather special prototype world.

Even without the Holy Grail opening the portal to the Root, he could enter whenever he wanted.

If one could grasp all the mysteries within the source, it would indeed be of help to Yahweh.

However, its effect is too small and its efficiency too low.

For Yahweh, mastering the power of "truth" and illuminating the "primordial essence" on his own Kabbalah Tree of Life is the most direct and effective way to enhance his own power.

However, at that moment, he suddenly seemed to sense something and frowned.

Deep down, it seems there's something there?

As his perception deepened, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Deep within the root lies what he needs.

Yahweh's intuition told him that if he could obtain that "unknown thing," it would help him to illuminate the "primordial essence" more quickly.

However, to obtain that "unknown thing," one must destroy the source in order for it to manifest.

With Yahweh's power, it would be easy for him to accomplish such a thing.

But the key question is the consequences of doing so.

After all, if even the root is destroyed, then this world will naturally...

Moreover, many unforeseen events may occur during this process.

Of course, even with Yahweh's power, there are ways to resolve the consequences of the destruction of the Root.

So, should we...?
