However, what he just said was quite normal. I wonder if it was because of what Sakura said, but the anger that was usually hidden in his words became quite friendly.

It seems that the relationships among Ying Jie are... quite complex to some extent...

.........

Light screen image——

Qian Jie did not carry any weapons, did not use any other forms, and did not even use much Honkai energy. He used only his fists and the burning flames around him to make the Holy Grail consciousness lose its bearings.

Although the Holy Grail consciousness is indeed not a good thing, the face she transformed into is still Alicia's appearance. Putting aside everything else, at least the audience outside the light screen has no confidence that they can still kill her when facing that face.

Even knowing that it wasn't the real Alicia, Qianjie, as Alicia's friend, was able to completely ignore its influence. It's unclear whether this was because of their poor relationship with Alicia or because she was so righteous and only cared about the essence, not the appearance.

However, although Qian Jie's attack was quite smooth and efficient, and he almost overwhelmed the Holy Grail consciousness with overwhelming power, the heroes around him did not lower their guard. Instead, they looked at the Holy Grail consciousness with serious expressions.

Such vigilance seems excessive. To remain so vigilant in the face of an opponent that can easily crush them, and for so many people to be vigilant at the same time, must have some underlying reasons.

It is very likely related to the 'Herrscher', because previously, the heroes believed that the Holy Grail consciousness was the Herrscher.

It is common knowledge that Herrschers are enemies of civilization. Although there are exceptions like Alicia, the vast majority of Herrschers are enemies of civilization and humanity.

However... even so, is it still necessary to maintain such a high level of vigilance towards Herrschers? This is not just vigilance, but also contains... a slight fear?

It's unimaginable... Yingjie's combat power is so great that he could easily handle the Holy Grail War with only Servants, yet now he's terrified of that calamity called 'Herrscher'?

Despite Alicia's seemingly flawless appearance, what kind of power and cruelty could make the heroes so wary of her fellow humans?

This is something that viewers outside the film and television industry have no way of knowing; they can only silently watch the plot unfold.

At this moment, the camera shifted from Qianjie to the person that most viewers cared about the most.

A boy with short white hair, wielding a fiery red greatsword, and a cold and mysterious expression—Kevin, the strongest warrior among the Thirteen Heroes!

At this moment, Kevin was silently observing the situation on the battlefield, and as if he were having a conversation with someone, he would nod at times and reply with something at other times.

As the camera zoomed in, everyone heard the voice from Kevin's inner consciousness.

“Kevin, Mebius has confirmed it dozens of times. There is absolutely no Honkai energy on it, let alone that it is a Herrscher.”

It was a man's voice, gentle and kind, which gave everyone a feeling of being 'healed' just from the sound.

In response to his close friend's words, Kevin said, "I know, Sue, but we cannot underestimate any enemy."

A hint of sadness appeared in Kevin's eyes, perhaps because he was thinking about something, which made him so sensitive.

The man named Su sighed and replied, "However, this can't go on forever. Mebius needs to dissect it for experiments, and perhaps he can get information about Alicia."

Perhaps because he heard about Alicia, Kevin's sorrowful eyes regained their coldness as he faced the Holy Grail consciousness, which was gradually being destroyed by the Thousand Calamities, and made a decision.

Snapped--

A clear, cold voice reached the ears of the Holy Grail's consciousness. To it, the voice was like that of an angel, and the entire Grail seemed to be reborn.

Suddenly, Kevin appeared behind Qian Jie, grasping Qian Jie's wrist with one hand, and then said in a cold voice:

"Qian Jie, that's enough. We need to get information about Alicia from him."

With one hand gripping Qianjie's wrist and the other holding a greatsword, Kevin's voice was somewhat cold. To be honest, killing the Holy Grail consciousness was the best option right now, but he couldn't abandon Alicia.

Qianjie did not respond, but struggled to pull his wrist back, but Kevin held it tightly. His powerful strength was like that of a docile lamb in front of Kevin.

Kevin knew Qianjie's personality, which was why he used this method to dissuade him from stopping. Qianjie would not listen to words alone, and that had always been the case.

"Hmph—Kevin, do you want to fight? Right here?"

Although he could not possibly be a match for Kevin, Qianjie and Kevin were not friends. If Kevin was deliberately provoking him, Qianjie would not hesitate to fight him right here.

Kevin replied, "No, it's just the most efficient way. If you really want to fight, I'll send Aponia."

"You!" Perhaps upon hearing the name Aponia, Qianjie instinctively felt a surge of rage, but considering it would likely turn into impotent fury, he merely snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph, whatever!"

Then, he disappeared from the spot...

Thus, under Kevin's personal command and supervision, the Holy Grail consciousness escaped the beating of a thousand kalpas and was sent to Mebius's outdoor laboratory overnight.

It thought it had been saved, but little did it know... the real nightmare was just beginning.

However, based on what just happened, the Holy Grail consciousness has confirmed one thing: the relationship between Ying Jie and Ying Jie is not one of friendship and understanding.

The conversation between Kevin and Qianjie reveals a significant rift between them, a rift that didn't form overnight but rather through a complex series of events.

Perhaps this could be used as a breakthrough to escape.

L: "A smart move... It seems the Holy Grail consciousness hasn't lived this long for nothing. It knows there's a rift within Yingjie. If we can use this, we might actually be able to escape."

Conan: "Ah... it shouldn't be that easy. The difference in strength is too great. Even if there are rifts between the heroes, they wouldn't let a creature that might be a Herrscher escape so easily."

Bishop of Destiny: "It's not a matter of ease or difficulty, but a matter of possibility or impossibility. To put it simply, it's impossible for it to escape with Kevin personally overseeing it. This is not something that can be done by exploiting the rift between the heroes."

Kevin Kaslana, in the previous civilization, should only have the name Kevin. He was the ancestor of his beloved Kallen, the founder of Kaslana, and the strongest warrior in the previous civilization. With him personally supervising, even if the Holy Grail consciousness were strengthened tenfold, there would be no possibility of escape.

As for Thousand Calamities, it's better to pay attention to Mebius than to worry about him. According to Otto's research in the Void Archives, this doctor's resume... is astonishing.

There are almost no scientists in modern civilization who can rival her, not even the two technological geniuses of Anti-Entropy. Möbius's research ability would be considered genius among geniuses in any era.

Of course... most importantly, her attitude towards lab rats—research that is considered taboo by most people—seems to be merely the most basic thing to Möbius...

.........

Light screen image——

In Möbius's laboratory, Möbius, dressed in a white lab coat, is sitting on his briefcase.

Although she was wearing a white lab coat, her graceful figure could not be concealed by loose clothing. Her slender waist, snake-like eyes, and the appearance of a wicked woman captivated and enchanted the audience outside the screen.

The laboratory is located outdoors. Although the facilities inside the Moth of Fire may be more complete, there are too many uncertainties. In order to ensure the safety of the headquarters, it must be set up outdoors.

"Oh dear~ the lab rats have arrived, this is going to be fun."

Sensing Kevin's presence outside, Mebius spoke nervously, appearing very mysterious and powerful.

This also piqued the curiosity of the audience outside the light screen: how exactly would Mebius pry open the Holy Grail's consciousness? And what would happen if she knew this was Alicia's memory space?

After all, this is a memory space, and everyone here, including Mebius, is not real. Yet, these non-real memory entities are tormenting the Holy Grail consciousness in this way, just like they are alive.

bass--

A flash of light, and under Kevin's protection, Möbius was able to conduct his experiments and dissections without any worries.

Despite the horrified expression on the face of the Holy Grail consciousness, Möbius calmly and without batting an eye completed all the experiments.

The cruelty of the process was, of course, not spared. In short, the ultra-high-definition camera in the light screen had tried its best to avoid pointing the lens directly at the body of the Holy Grail consciousness. However, even so, many people still vomited.

Even the way people looked at Möbius changed. No one expected that a seemingly petite and cute girl could be so ruthless. This kind of scene would not pass censorship in any world. It can probably only be seen in a light screen.

"How is the result?"

After the experiment, Kevin asked a question.

Mebius thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... the effect doesn't seem to be very good. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this guy is not a creature of our world. If we had the equipment of the Fire Moth, I should be able to get more information."

Kevin frowned and continued, "That's not what I'm asking about. What about Alicia? How is she now? If we need to check her memories, we can have Aponia or Sulai."

"Alright, alright, Kevin, don't be in such a hurry~ Don't worry, this guy is just impersonating Alicia. Its strength is no match for Alicia. That woman is probably having a good time somewhere right now."

To be honest, when Mebius learned that Alicia might be in trouble, her heart skipped a beat. It wasn't just because of the impact Alicia's death would have on the Firemoth, but also because she didn't want to believe that Alicia would die at the hands of an unknown nobody.

However... just as Mebius and Kevin were talking, a figure silently appeared in front of the Holy Grail consciousness, which had lost its brilliance.

Her appearance caused the Holy Grail consciousness, already tormented by unbearable pain, to open its eyes wide, and also attracted the attention of Möbius and Kevin...

Chapter 98 Mebius: Alicia, you've gained weight.

Alicia!

In the deep laboratory, Alicia appeared out of thin air, landing in front of a pool of black mud that Dr. Mebius had already revealed to be its true form.

With her arrival, the entire light screen image seemed to be paused, except for Alicia and the black mud of the Holy Grail's will, which were still able to move.

Everything else, including Kevin, stood frozen in place as if paused.

"So, how's the beautiful girl's memory space?"

Alicia asked playfully, "Actually... Alicia saw everything that just happened."

After all, this was her memory space. However, even so, under Alicia's deliberate arrangement, the personalities of the thirteen heroes remained exactly the same as those in the outside world. Within this memory space, Alicia did not interfere with the choices of any of the heroes.

Like a frightened kitten, the Grail consciousness was now truly afraid, asking in terror, "Who are you?"

It was somewhat unbelievable; was the Alicia before him the Alicia from his memory space or the real Alicia?

However... once time around them was paused, the Holy Grail consciousness became clear: this was Alicia in reality, or rather, Alicia in reality manipulating her own memories.

"Alicia, let's make a deal!" the Holy Grail consciousness said. Now, it couldn't even leave Alicia's memory space, let alone find her weakness.

Alicia remained motionless, staring at the Holy Grail consciousness with her beautiful eyes, as if admiring a work of art.

The girl, who appeared undeniably cute and beautiful, seemed like a demon from hell in the eyes of the Holy Grail's consciousness. It gritted its teeth and continued:

"How about letting me out? As long as you let me out, whatever wish you have that the Holy Grail needs to grant, I can fulfill it for you."

Faced with the silent Alicia, the Holy Grail consciousness was ready to risk everything. It had finally developed a consciousness similar to that of a human, and it would never choose to die here in such a humiliating way.

Upon hearing the Holy Grail's words, Alicia feigned a thoughtful expression and said, "Hmm... a wish?"

"Although it seems very tempting, my wish cannot be fulfilled by a single Holy Grail."

Yes, creating an eternal paradise, free from strife and disaster, where everyone can live happily... only a miracle could the Holy Grail achieve that.

It's important to know that Alicia has a very high level of desire for Eternal Paradise. She not only requires a space isolated from the outside world, but also needs to be constantly worried about potential enemies.

Let alone the Holy Grail, beings throughout the entire multiverse who could achieve this are extremely rare.

"No problem! I am the Holy Grail, having absorbed sixty years of magic power. Whatever the wish, I can grant it."

Perhaps seeing a glimmer of hope in persuading Alicia, the Holy Grail consciousness desperately promoted its abilities to her, claiming that, theoretically, it could grant any wish!

However... Alicia's next words silenced it completely.

"My wish is simple: if you can destroy that external god, I will free you from this memory space. How about it?"
