Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

Although there is still about a year before the official start of the war, the Einzbern family is making preparations ahead of time, as always.

At this moment, in the center of the castle, Ahadeon, the patriarch of the Einzbern family, stood solemnly in the main hall.

On the table in front of him was a very mysterious box.

In front of the table, a silver-haired, red-eyed girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old with an innocent and carefree expression was curiously examining the box.

"Irisviel!"

The old man, with a serious expression, read out the girl's name.

"Yes! Grandpa."

The girl immediately looked away, adopting a serious attitude, though her peripheral vision still lingered on the mysterious box.

"In this Holy Grail War, we have fully learned from the lessons of the last one, and we must never summon such useless Servants."

The old man ignored her expression and spoke directly.

As a participant in the Third Holy Grail War and the former Master of Angra Newman, the Evil of This World, he felt deeply about this mistake.

To put it bluntly, the Servant he summoned might not even be able to defeat him, the Master.

After much painful reflection, he reformed his own strategy.

"For this reason, I spent a lot of money to purchase a very special relic. If I use this relic as a catalyst to summon, even the worst result will guarantee a first-class Servant."

In the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual, artifacts have a significant impact on the summoning outcome.

As long as the corresponding Heroic Spirits are all above-average powerhouses, they can provide a minimum level of combat strength.

However, there are very few relics that can meet these requirements.

"What kind of sacred artifact is so powerful?"

Love247 Riesfir blinked and asked with considerable curiosity.

"This is a sacred relic recently unearthed from Cornwall—the Avalon."

Without any intention of keeping him in suspense, Ahadeon opened the lid directly, revealing the magnificent scabbard inside.

"Avalon? Isn't that King Arthur's scabbard?"

Irisviel, who was very familiar with Celtic mythology, quickly realized what was going on.

King Arthur's fame is not low worldwide, but it is especially high in Europe.

Even though she was an artificial human, her eyes lit up when she heard the news.

"Doesn't that mean that this summoning might allow us to directly summon the legendary Knight King?"

Aside from the overpowered characters in mythology, a Servant of the Knight King's caliber is arguably among the top tier of normal Servants.

In previous Holy Grail Wars, they could have easily wiped out the enemy.

“Even if it’s not King Arthur, the other Knights of the Round Table are all first-class Servants.”

Ahadeon was clearly very confident in his decision.

"As the Lesser Grail, your mana supply capacity is already top-notch. As long as we cooperate well, this Holy Grail War will surely be our victory."

"To fulfill the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish, Irisviel, this Holy Grail War is entirely in your hands!"

In addition to fixing the bug where summoned Servants might be too weak, he also fixed the bug where the Lesser Grail was easily broken, allowing Irisviel to directly bear the function of the Lesser Grail herself.

Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively about the supply of magic power.

With so many improvements, he felt confident that his side would win this time.

"Yes! Grandpa!"

Even knowing that Ahadeon's order meant sending her to her death, Irisviel, as a homunculus, did not hesitate for a moment.

She was born for the victory of the Holy Grail War, and death held no particular fear for her.

Seeing Irisviel's statement, Ahadéon nodded.

"Then take this scabbard and begin the summoning ritual! Besides summoning a Servant, it can also ensure your body functions properly until the Greater Grail appears, making our side invincible!"

As he said this, he reached into the box.

Then, I touched nothing.

"?"

The box itself is fine, but what about the contents?

"Where's the scabbard?"

Unable to determine what had happened, he immediately looked at Irisviel.

He certainly didn't suspect that Irisviel had taken the scabbard; aside from whether it was necessary, Irisviel simply didn't have the ability to do so.

He just wanted to get possible intelligence.

Irisviel, who has been paying close attention to this ornate scabbard, certainly has the right to speak on this matter.

She described it with a blank expression.

"Grandpa, I just saw the scabbard suddenly disappear."

"Space magic was used within the castle's protective barrier?"

Ahadeon's expression immediately changed.

"All personnel on alert! All androids, move out together to investigate the intruders!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued the following order.

The entire castle suddenly became lively, with all sorts of detection spells activated, but they couldn't find even a trace of the intruder.

If the thief were truly a great magician skilled in spatial magic, they would probably have vanished long ago.

Of course, an even more terrifying speculation is that the other party did not come in person at all, but only used a spatial teleportation spell from a distance.

However, this situation is generally not considered, as no one other than the Second Magician, Gemstone, has been able to develop spatial magic to such an extent.

It couldn't possibly be a god descending to earth, could it?

Seeing that she had searched everywhere without finding anything, Irisviel was not too disappointed.

Although I was curious about the thief who could steal things right under my grandfather's nose, there was something more important to do right now.

Looking at the already ill-conceived summoning circle, she asked with an innocent expression.

"Grandpa, the artifact is gone. What do we do about summoning Servants now?"

"..."

Ahadeon finally felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

Relics are extremely precious items, even in the world of magic. Relics associated with famous Servants are even more valuable and cannot be bought casually.

If it had been stolen a few years ago, he would have had time to prepare a second relic.

But at this point in time, it's too late to do anything.

If the person who stole the artifact just happened to choose this time, then it's fine.

But what if the other party did it on purpose—

"This Holy Grail War seems to be more dangerous than before..."

With a deep sigh, Irisviel, as the Master, had no choice but to proceed with the compatibility summon.

·

On the other side of the earth, in the far eastern island nation of Fuyuki City.

"I've finally found my sword sheath! Thank you, Master!"

Artoria excitedly held the long-lost scabbard, her ahoge (cowlick) standing up excitedly, and her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at Su Mo.

"Ah."

After giving a casual reply, Su Mo turned to look at Lin.

"Is Lord Su Mo heading back?"

Rin Tohsaka immediately guessed his plan.

"Yes, I've taken care of everything. I'll come back after the Holy Grail War begins."

Su Mo explained it this way.

"Oh!"

Rin Tohsaka nodded, wanting to persuade him to stay but unable to say anything.

At this moment, Sakura, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward, mustered her courage, grabbed Su Mo's sleeve, and stammered.

"Lord Su Mo, I... I can sweep the floor, do laundry, and even cook a little bit of food. I can learn anything else I don't know..."

The little girl, who looked about five or six years old, looked up with a nervous expression.

"So... could you take me in? I eat very little, so I'm not afraid of going hungry."

The little girl tried her best to keep her own status low so as not to become a burden to the other person.

Her only unwavering resolve was that she really wanted to leave with Su Mo.

Hearing this, Artoria was somewhat taken aback, not understanding what it meant.

Rin was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood her sister's thoughts.

"Sakura, don't you want to go home—"

She stopped talking halfway through her attempt to dissuade him.

Although the Matou family has been destroyed, her father has personally stated that he has severed ties with Sakura.
