"This kind of thing can't be left unattended, can it? Tokiomi-kun."
Father Li Zheng, who had an ugly expression on his face, interrupted.
“Caster and his group’s actions have clearly hindered the progress of this Holy Grail War. This is a violation of the rules.”
"Of course, in the past, I was in charge of keeping the magic secret, so I would never let him get away with it."
The Tohsaka family has been the clandestine owners of the Fuyuki region for generations. They also manage the spiritual veins and monitor any unusual activity, tasks directly entrusted to them by the Mage's Association.
Therefore, for Tokiomi, not only as a Master aiming for the Holy Grail, but also from the perspective of the local administrator, he had no choice but to stop Caster's actions.
"Yes, it has reached a point where warnings and punishments can no longer solve the problem. Now the only way is to eliminate Caster and his Master."
"But the problem is that only a Servant can defeat another Servant, but my Assassin can't make a move right now."
Kirei Kotomine's statement makes a lot of sense. How could they let Assassin, who was deliberately created as a hidden strategy, reappear so quickly?
Father Risei thought silently for a while and made suggestions to Tokiomi:
"Making slight changes to the rules is within my authority as the supervisor. How about we put the Holy Grail War aside for now and mobilize all Masters to defeat Caster?"
Using Command Seals as compensation, the other contestants joined forces to defeat Caster. So far, no one has withdrawn from this Holy Grail War, and given their generally strong abilities, defeating Caster is more than enough.
"That's possible, but I'd like to add another target to the list."
Tokiomi Tohsaka thought for a moment and continued, "That king has started to lose control. He seems to have a special fondness for the girl who appeared on the first night. In order to avoid any complications, I think we should take this opportunity to get rid of Alicia."
"Wouldn't this... be against the rules?" Kirei Kotomine hesitated. Alicia hadn't directly interfered with the Holy Grail War, so doing so wouldn't be in accordance with the rules of the Holy Grail War.
"Father Li Zheng, even the Mage's Association would probably seal away someone from another world. Her existence has affected not only the Holy Grail, but also the protection of the mystical."
Therefore, please be sure to include Alicia on the kill list as well.
Tokiomi Tohsaka stated righteously that although the magicians of the Clock Tower would certainly not accept an outsider like Alicia, Tokiomi's actions were actually driven by his own selfish motives.
The girl's uniqueness attracted the king, which made the King of Heroes, who was already uninterested in the Holy Grail War, even more disregard his advice. If things continued like this, he feared he would lose control of Gilgamesh.
That king was far too difficult to control; one wrong move and he would be set on fire. He had tried to persuade the king to take the Holy Grail War seriously, but all he got in return was the king's indifference.
Therefore, adding Alicia to the list of targets and using someone else to solve that problem might make the King of Heroes take the Holy Grail War a little more seriously. This is a strategy of using one enemy to devour another.
It's enough to keep it a secret from the King of Heroes. Although the Command Spell only has three strokes, the best scenario is to have the King do his best to eliminate the other contestants without using the Command Spell, and then use the three-stroke Command Spell to make him commit suicide. This way, you can win the Holy Grail War effortlessly.
However, if an unexpected situation arises and there is no other way, then the only option is to cheat legitimately, using the multiple Command Seals held by Father Kotomine Risei to forcibly command the King of Heroes to defeat the other Servants, and then commit suicide.
It has to be said that Tokiomi Tohsaka really played his cards right. By using his relationship with the Holy Grail War supervisor, he could adjust the rules at will. No wonder he was so confident in winning the Holy Grail War.
Not only did he summon Gilgamesh, the most powerful Servant in the regular Holy Grail War, but even the referee of the Holy Grail War was on his side. It can be said that he had the dragon on his face. How could he lose?
After a brief hesitation, Father Kotomine Risei agreed to Tokiomi Tohsaka's request, only adding one otherworldly visitor to the list of targets. After all, even without them, the Mage's Association would seal Alicia away once they learned of her existence...
Chapter Thirty-Five: Gas Explosion
It's over, it's completely over.
When the image on the screen played out his innermost thoughts, Tokiomi Tohsaka knew he was completely doomed. Putting aside everything else, if Gilgamesh were by his side now, he would probably shoot holes all over him.
Then it's time to watch the images of other people on the screen. This kind of treatment will probably leave Tokiomi Tohsaka with nowhere to go in the world.
Eriri: "King of Heroes, let me interview you. What are your thoughts right now?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Tokiomi Tohsaka, as expected of you, you attracted everyone's hatred in an instant."
Hachiman Hikigaya: "I have to admit, you're stronger now."
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "No... I think I can explain..."
King of Heroes: "Tokiomi...you truly disappoint me. Although I had guessed you would do this, I still gave you a chance to reform, considering your sincerity. I just didn't expect you to remain unrepentant..."
King of Heroes: "Do you really think that boring Command Seals will work on me?"
After witnessing Tokiomi Tohsaka's thoughts, Gilgamesh was not surprised, but shocked by Tokiomi's stupidity. He couldn't believe that there were such stupid people in the world.
His treasury contains everything imaginable, and even Gilgamesh himself doesn't know the exact amount of his treasures. In other words, if he wanted to, he could find a bunch of Noble Phantasms that could break Command Seals in no time.
Tokiomi's audacity to think he could control him using Command Seals was the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard.
Eden: "Putting Ellie on the kill list is really... a death wish."
Qianjie: "Heh, you don't actually think those guys are capable of beating that woman, do you?"
Sue: "Alice will not kill, nor will she interfere in the Holy Grail War, but such behavior is tantamount to forcing her to join the battle for the Holy Grail and directly angering an enemy of unknown origin and great strength. This decision is extremely foolish."
Kevin: "Tokiomi Tohsaka... Thirteen Heroes will remember you. Get ready..."
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding—"
At this moment, he was truly in a predicament he couldn't clear even if he jumped into the Yellow River. This was not his fault; in fact, it wasn't just him. People like Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth would also have dealt with their Servants after obtaining the Holy Grail.
The same applies to Alicia. As a high-ranking member of the Clock Tower, Kenneth would naturally agree to seal Alicia away. As for Kiritsugu Emiya, he would not hesitate to eliminate her if she hindered him from obtaining the Holy Grail.
But right now, the light screen only reveals his thoughts—what kind of situation is this...?
Just as the comments section was actively discussing how to deal with Tokiomi Tohsaka, the screen suddenly switched to reveal the rest of the story.
.........
A television set was playing a news report.
In recent days, gas leaks and explosions have occurred at Fuyuki Port and Fuyuki Hotel, posing a huge safety hazard to the citizens of Fuyuki and causing significant economic losses to the city.
The mayor has expressed his deep regret that this was a major mistake by the gas company and has ordered the company to rectify the situation and conduct a safety inspection of the gas supply throughout the city.
Furthermore, regarding the "Fuyuki City Devil" case, Fuyuki City specifically invited a renowned master of criminal psychology to assist in the investigation...
The television was broadcasting the news from the past few days in the early morning.
It was still dark when a group of construction workers were clearing the rubble left by the explosion at the Fuyuki Hotel.
Then, when the ruins were excavated to a certain extent, a huge silver sphere that reflected light under the flashlight emerged from the ruins.
You said you discovered something strange?
Upon receiving the report, the director rushed to the scene. According to the team members, a silver sphere with a diameter of three meters was found in the rubble. It did not look like a building material at all, but suddenly appeared in the rubble.
The surface of the silver sphere showed no signs of damage; instead, it reflected a vibrant luster like a mirror. It looked as if it had just been polished.
"It looks like mercury."
Feeling somewhat incredulous, the director walked over and touched the surface of the sphere while explaining his thoughts.
When his hand touched the surface of the sphere, it pressed in instantly.
"Ok?"
Just as he was taking a big surprise, he looked more closely and found that his hand had only touched the surface of the hard sphere and had not pressed into it. At that moment, a red light flashed in the director's eyes.
"director?"
"..."
None of the team members seemed to have noticed the abnormality just now, and they all looked at the director with puzzled expressions.
"What happened?"
"...This thing must be shipped out."
"what?"
"...Get it out of here by truck, quick!"
The rescue director suddenly became unusually calm, using calm language to direct the team members to act quickly.
Although the rescue team members were still somewhat puzzled, they knew that this unidentified sphere should be removed from the site as soon as possible. So they quickly moved the silvery-white sphere onto the truck's rack.
"Hey? Where's the director?"
Suddenly, one of the team members noticed that the supervisor who had been overseeing their work just moments before was gone. And behind the busy rescue team members, the sound of a truck engine starting could be heard.
But by the time the rescue team found them, it was too late. The truck carrying the silver spheres had already disappeared into the streets at dawn.
Five hours later, police patrolling the outskirts of the city found the missing truck and the rescue chief, still unconscious in the driver's seat. However, the silver sphere that should have been on the truck's rack was now just an empty shell.
Mystic Code - Moon Essence Fluid is a Mystic Code that Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald completed in his twenties, and is hailed as the supreme Mystic Code of El-Melloi, one of the twelve families.
It was thanks to its existence that Kenneth survived such a high-intensity explosion.
Kenneth was furious. How could they use such despicable means against him? Emiya Kiritsugu... this guy doesn't deserve to be called a magician at all.
He swore, in his capacity as El-Melloi, the Lord of the Twelve Gates of the Clock Tower, that he would use his magic to inflict unbearable pain on someone like Kiritsugu Emiya, causing him to die in this Holy Grail War.
Chapter Thirty-Six: Old Bug, Die!
Silence fell over the screen after the video finished playing.
Everyone was puzzled. Of course, they weren't puzzled about how Kenneth escaped, but rather that it was unbelievable that a top magician would die like that.
What they were really wondering was whether this mysterious method of concealment was treating the citizens of Fuyuki City as if they were blind.
Eriri: "You call this a gas explosion? Your gas explosion could blow up the entire port like that? Your gas could precisely blast a building?"
Conan: "Are the citizens of Fuyuki City blind? Even a terrorist attack would make more sense than a gas explosion—"
Weber: "The way the church's cleanup crew handled things was truly peculiar—"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "They're not only blind, they might also be deaf. How can they sleep through such a commotion?"
It has to be said that Fuyuki City is a truly magical place; the citizens are able to accept such an outrageous explanation.
The most important thing is that both the official and the media use this rhetoric, and even the so-called experts and professors jumped out to explain, saying that this was caused by a gas explosion.
Goodness, if everyone hadn't seen the whole thing directly through the light screen, they would have been completely fooled.
For a time, everyone was criticizing the outrageous news. Only a very small number of people were concerned about how Kenneth would deal with Kiritsugu Emiya, since Kiritsugu Emiya's strength and resolve were probably the strongest besides Marisbury.
.........
[After the light screen imagery showed Kenneth's situation had ended, the scene shifted to another room, somewhere else.]
A man was lying on the bed struggling, but he was covered in cold sweat, his body was moving unconsciously, and he was gripping the sheets tightly, as if he was enduring great pain.
Although only half of his face was visible, it was still easy to identify him, as his sickly and ravaged skin and the bulging veins on the left side of his face clearly indicated his identity.
