Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

The request for companionship from the divine being is no different from a blessing, and there is no reason to refuse it.

"I accept your allegiance."

Su Mo lightly tapped Artoria's shoulder three times with the Excalibur to complete the ritual.

At the same time, a mythical spell based on the boar incarnation and centered on the God of Contracts, Mitra, was activated, successfully seizing Artoria's sovereignty from Alaya, who had failed to fulfill the agreement.

From now on, even without the aid of Command Seals, Su Mo can, as the master, force Artoria to obey his commands.

Of course, given the current difference in strength between the two sides, even without a master-servant contract, Artoria wouldn't be able to resist him.

After successfully acquiring Saber, Su Mo turned his attention to the Greater Grail structure before him.

At this point, there was still about a year before the Holy Grail War officially began, so there was no rush to end the war.

Compared to the Holy Grail War, which is hardly a foregone conclusion, there are things more worthy of study right now.

"I remember that the Greater Grail was a magical artifact constructed by the Winter Saintess Justessa, meaning... its structure itself contains an incomplete Third Law?"

054 Avalon, Saber, come, let me see!

The research into the Greater Grail did not last long.

"I must say, as expected of the limited edition Third Law, this level of soul materialization doesn't even qualify as mastery."

After studying it, Su Mo was slightly disappointed.

Although he did not fail to gain anything, the result was far from what he had expected.

Overall, the Winter Saintess's mastery of the Third Law—Soul Materialization—is probably only at the level of instinct.

This is not to praise her mastery of the materialization of the soul to the point of instinct, but rather to point out that she has no systematic research or knowledge of the materialization of the soul, and can only use it instinctively, like a wild beast waving its claws.

Such instincts are not useless, but they can never be improved by summarizing experiences.

No wonder those disciples of the Third Mage all abandoned this rare creation back then.

The Winter Saintess is like a completely unanalyzable black box, with no potential for growth and pitifully low output power, which is equivalent to having no future.

Continuing to research down this path, it's difficult to see any hope.

The same applies to the structure of the Great Grail before him. After studying it, Su Mo discovered that the structure here is simply a product of the materialization of the soul, and there is no knowledge related to the creation of such products.

Relying on the remnants of the Greater Grail is insufficient to deduce the complete Third Law.

According to Su Mo's speculation, the only way to master the complete Third Law to his satisfaction is most likely to be to go to the Root in person.

Even if Su Mo has high comprehension and can deduce and fill in most of the missing information, he still cannot directly achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to search for the Holy Grail; he could just find any Servant or even simply sit and daydream to comprehend the Third Law.

"However, I have learned quite a bit about interfering with the spirit core."

Thinking about this, Su Mo was fairly satisfied.

The effect of the third method, the materialization of the soul, can be simply understood as using an immortal soul as a template to create a physical body that matches it.

In reality, neither the soul nor the body is such a simple concept.

The concept of the soul has various interpretations. In the Far East, there is a saying of three souls and seven spirits, while in the Far East, there is a saying of one spirit and four souls. Although the West generally believes that the soul is given by God, it is also divided into different levels within the realm of mysticism.

For example, the human energy field is divided into seven layers: the etheric body, the emotional body, the mental body, the stellar body, the etheric template body, the celestial body, and the causal body.

Therefore, to study the materialization of the soul, we must study what the soul is and which part of the soul is materialized.

The very existence of Servants is a product of a degraded version of the Third Law.

The reason it's called a degraded version is because the Servant still needs the Master to supply mana, which obviously doesn't fit the definition of infinite mana.

The reason it is said to be related to the Third Law is because the Servant has indeed achieved the result of materializing the spirits on the Throne of Heroes into the present world.

Just as the divine nature determines the basic structure and power of a god, the spiritual core also determines the basic structure and power of a servant.

Su Mo has not yet obtained enough information regarding the core of the third method, namely how to package the mythological consultation body as a godhood and how to package the consultation on the realm record belt as a servant's spirit core.

However, Su Mo, who already had some research experience in the field of how to interfere with the spiritual core and even the divine essence, thereby changing the structure and power of Servants and gods, made further progress through his research on the Greater Grail.

For example--

“Saber, come here for a moment, let me see your spirit origin.”

Having gained enough insights, Su Mo decided to put them into practice.

"what?"

The Saber King was stunned on the spot.

What does a Master need to look at?

"Don't worry, just stand still."

Su Mo immediately reached out and pressed down on the top of Artoria's head.

"Yes, Master!"

Although she didn't understand what Su Mo was going to do, out of trust in her Master, Artoria did not resist and obediently stood in place, waiting for Su Mo's inspection.

"It doesn't belong to the traditional Servant structure... But it doesn't matter, this Spirit Origin can still be expanded."

After investigating, Su Mo realized that the Saber in front of him was different from the other dead Servants; she had become a Heroic Spirit while she was still alive.

Although Artoria in this state also has a spirit core, she is not the type of Servant whose entire life is determined by her spirit core, like other Servants.

The structure of ordinary followers is similar to that of non-following gods, but the structure of Saber is similar to that of a god-slayer, resembling the structure of a mortal god.

Therefore, modifying its spirit core is more complex.

Fortunately, Su Mo had experimented on himself many times and personally studied the effects of divine structure on the physical body, so this kind of difficulty was nothing to him.

Half a minute later, feeling the power within her body increase several times over, Artoria opened her eyes wide in shock.

"Master, why has my physical potential increased so much? It's several times stronger than when I was at my strongest!"

Possessing the heart of a red dragon, she was already physically stronger than ordinary Servants. With Su Mo's magical power, her strength had already reached A+ level, and her agility and magical power were also doubled.

Even among the Three Knights, this is a remarkably high level.

But now, with Su Mo's further enhancement, her strength in all aspects has been greatly improved once again.

She even suspected that her physical data had now reached the exceptional level of EX, and the magic provided by Su Mo was inexhaustible.

How could a modification of just a few dozen seconds increase one's power to this extent?

Is this the great power of the gods?

Su Mo was not surprised by Artoria's shock.

“You already possess the bloodline of a red dragon, and you have the potential to reach this level. Besides, you only have the physique of a divine beast. Based on your physical attributes alone, you might not even be able to defeat a wild boar.”

Even after Su Mo adjusted her spirit level, not counting the Star Holy Sword, Artoria's strength level remained at the second-tier Holy Knight level.

However, while she used to struggle to keep up with the physical abilities of divine beasts, she now possesses the physical abilities of an ordinary divine beast.

If the power of Excalibur is added, ordinary divine beasts will no longer pose a threat to her, and she can even directly restrain disobedient gods.

This is before Su Mo bestowed any protection upon her.

It must be said that she does have great potential in combat.

After expanding Artoria's spirit origin to its current limit, Su Mo remembered that she seemed to be missing another piece of equipment.

"Avalon is no longer in your hands?"

The scabbard Avalon, comparable to the Star Sword and unaffected by even the five major magic spells, can be considered another exclusive power-up for Artoria.

In mythology, if she hadn't lost her sword sheath, the final outcome of Sword Orchid Hill would probably have been her single-handedly crushing the entire rebel army (or perhaps Zhao).

Among the many mythical weapons, this treasure is also the most unique type.

At least, ordinary concept spirit equipment cannot simulate the exact same effect.

"I'm sorry, Master, I've lost my scabbard."

When this was mentioned, Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) looked a little droopy.

The loss of her sword sheath can be considered one of the key turning points in her life, leading to its demise.

"It's okay, if you lose it, you can just find it again."

Su Mo shook his head calmly.

He had finally come all this way, and he wasn't about to give up this crucial prop.

As far as he knew, the scabbard Avalon should have been preserved intact in the present world, and it could be retrieved with a little searching.

Now that Artoria has become his knight, her scabbard is naturally Su Mo's scabbard as well.

Based on this alone, Su Mo was able to establish a spiritual connection and find the true form of Avalon.

Soon, Su Mo confirmed the location of Avalon's main body.

"On the other side of the world, in the forests of Central Europe, in Germany?"

055 was both worried about his younger sister suffering and worried about her driving a Land Rover.

In a remote, uninhabited forest in Germany, lies a mysterious ancient castle with a history spanning over a thousand years.

Einzbernburg.

As one of the three founding families of Fuyuki City, the Einzbern family's main base is not in Fuyuki City, but in this ancient castle.

In terms of longevity, status in the magic world, and wealth in the secular world, the Einzbern family far surpasses the other two families. The ritual foundation of the Holy Grail War was laid by the Einzbern family.

They also own their own castle in the suburbs of Fuyuki City.

Each time the Einzbern family participates in the Holy Grail War, they send their Masters to Fuyuki City to fight.

To seize the Third Grail through the rituals of the Holy Grail War has been the Einzbern family's greatest desire for centuries.
