Genshin Impact, but the chat group

[I've always been a pain in the ass: My father is a magician, and he has his own path to follow. I don't know what to say, but my mother is an ordinary person. I hope you, the group admin, can help me protect my mother.]

[Growing up and letting things fall apart: What happened? What's wrong with Mom? She was perfectly fine!]

[A habitual liar since childhood: I can't explain this to you clearly, just remember to protect your mother.]

Tokiomi Tohsaka died while participating in the Holy Grail War. This is the only information Rin Tohsaka knows about her father's death. However, her mother was also injured in the Holy Grail War and died a few years later.

Regardless of her father's path of evil, she at least hoped that her mother could survive, even if it was a world that did not belong to her.

[Silly Guy: Oh, I see. I'll be more careful.]

[Always a disappointment: Thanks.]

Li Yue readily agreed to Rin Tohsaka's request, and he didn't mind helping Aoi Tohsaka along the way.

After agreeing to Rin Tohsaka's request, Li Yue didn't rush to the Tohsaka residence or the Zenjo residence. He finished breakfast, then found a small alley and transformed into [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] again, and headed directly towards the direction where Shin-Emiya Kiritsugu was!

212. Drown in your ideals, Kiritsugu Emiya!

Kiritsugu Emiya's expression was very serious.

The first night of the Holy Grail War had passed. He had gathered a lot of information while hiding in the shadows, but the information he received did not make him very happy.

Lancer's identity and abilities are currently unknown, but Rider's identity is completely clear: Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, the legendary Alexander the Great. Such a powerful king should possess power that does not belong to King Arthur on his side. Archer's identity is unknown, but he should also be a king, and the number of Noble Phantasms he possesses is astonishing, making him the most powerful enemy encountered so far.

But none of that is the point. The point is another version of yourself!

Heroic Spirit Emiya Kiritsugu!

Irisviel encountered a mysterious servant on her way home yesterday, which, according to Irisviel's deduction, should be a caster.

Adding to the Assassin who died at the Tohsaka residence and on the container at the port monitoring the battlefield, the six normal classes are now clear. The class of the white-haired Servant version of myself has been determined: Berserker!

My future self has become a berserker!

To become a Berserker means that one has committed acts of madness or had experiences of madness in their past life. There have indeed been times in their past that caused them to break down, but they would never have driven them mad. In other words, something will happen in the future that will drive them mad, or something will happen in this Holy Grail War that will drive them mad!

Moreover, despite having become a Berserker, he retains his rationality and is even able to perfectly use firearms, daggers, and explosives to fight against those ancient Servants. In fact, he even gained an absolute advantage in his battle against Lancer!

Kiritsugu Emiya never even dared to imagine such a situation!

As a master, he knew better than anyone how monstrous the power of those Servants was; ordinary magicians were no match for them at all.

Now, in his Heroic Spirit form, he can easily crush Lancer.

There's only one possibility that it could have reached that level!

Having become a Heroic Spirit, he now has complete information about Lancer! In other words, he also has information about everyone involved in this Holy Grail War!

Since his future self had also experienced this Holy Grail War, he would definitely have all the information about everyone involved. After acquiring all the intelligence, he could prepare targeted traps in advance and launch targeted attacks, just like when Lancer was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

If he can target Lancer, he can target Saber, Archer, Rider, and everyone else!

This is a far more terrifying existence than Archer, who is seemingly powerful on the surface!

However, there was one thing that Kiritsugu Emiya had some doubts about.

That would be in line with Kiritsugu Emiya's style. If he were to become a Servant, he would definitely hide himself, secretly set up a deadly situation, and then make his move, concealing his identity as much as possible before that.

But the Heroic Spirit himself took the initiative to fight head-on and exposed his identity. Why? Could it be that exposing his identity was also part of his plan?

He couldn't understand it; Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't understand it.

Despite his doubts, Kiritsugu Emiya firmly believed that he, now a Heroic Spirit, must also have the same dream as him!

Therefore, even if you become a Heroic Spirit, you can still make use of yourself!

The other party understands you and knows more information about you than you do. Although you do understand the other party, you don't know as much information about them as they do about you, so you are at a disadvantage.

But! Even so, I must try, utilize another version of myself, and then achieve my long-cherished wish!

Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't know who the Master of [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] is, what strategy he will devise, or what [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu]'s plan is, but he can start by attacking others.

Lancer Group!

Last night's match basically confirmed that Lancer is currently the weakest.

It's unclear why Assassin didn't die, but the opponent's Master is a very troublesome one. Archer's strength is too high, and Tohsaka's residence is an extremely sturdy magic workshop that he simply cannot break into. Rider has a tank with extremely high mobility, and Caster is too mysterious, with no clues to be found so far.

If we exclude these, the easiest target left is Lancer.

Kenneth, the Lord of the Minerals Department who came from the Clock Tower, was a traditional magician who had absolutely no common sense about the Holy Grail War. He even thought he was having a magic duel between noble magicians in the Clock Tower. He openly appeared in a hotel in Fuyuki City, registered under his original name, and lavishly booked several floors of the hotel to turn the entire hotel into a magic workshop.

Where did this city idiot come from?

Despite his confusion, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately began to think about how to deal with Lancer's group.

He and his assistant went directly to the construction site opposite the hotel. The building under construction was the same height as the hotel across the street, and he used the scope of his sniper rifle to observe Kenneth on the other side.

It has to be said that Kenneth is really arrogant. After renting out several floors to build a magic workshop, he sat down on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window with an air of complete confidence.

Kiritsugu Emiya easily aimed at Kenneth's head through the sniper scope, but he didn't pull the trigger.

"Because you're unsure whether Kenneth has set up a barrier on the window, firing a shot rashly would expose yourself."

"Yes, that's it..."

Upon hearing the voice explaining the situation, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately acknowledged it, but then sensed something was wrong. He quickly rolled over, pulled out a pistol, and began firing wildly behind him.

Dang Dang Dang——

All three bullets were blocked by a black dagger.

"As expected, you knew what I was going to do."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked solemnly at the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] who slowly lowered his dagger.

He wanted to take advantage of the other party, but the other party seemed to be more experienced and easily predicted what he would do, and even saw through where he would go.

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] put down his dagger and stared coldly at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Because only so many things can a piece of trash like you think of."

"Is that so? But at least it's better than you becoming a Berserker because you went mad."

Although he had been captured, Kiritsugu Emiya was still unwilling to admit defeat.

"And the fact that you were able to respond to the Holy Grail's call means that you lost before, but I am different from you, I will win!"

"Is that so? Based on your ignorant ideals? A partner of justice?"

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

!

Emiya Kiritsugu was startled and immediately activated his magic, [Time-Limited Control Triple Speed!]

By imbuing oneself with a Reality Barrier, one accelerates their own time, allowing them to move faster than others.

However, his actions were useless against Kiritsugu.

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] was even faster than him! Easily catching the accelerated Emiya Kiritsugu, [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] kicked him, pulling him out of the time-accelerated state. The side effects of the time acceleration, combined with [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu]'s kick, caused Emiya Kiritsugu to collapse to the ground.

"A partner of justice? Aren't you one?"

Lying on the ground, Kiritsugu Emiya, with blood at the corner of his mouth, looked at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

"Why did you answer the Holy Grail's call? Wasn't it because you wanted to fulfill your long-cherished wish? The same wish as mine—to save the world. Isn't it this obsession that allows someone like you to become a Servant?"

"Is that so? You think I got to this point because of this obsession?"

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with a cold expression.

"Isn't that right? If it weren't for this dream, we wouldn't be alive today!"

Kiritsugu Emiya's past is tragic. In order to protect the world, he killed his own father with his own hands, and then, in order to protect the world, he killed his mentor with his own hands. His heart was already dead. Only the desire to save the world sustained him and kept him living in this world. The Holy Grail was his only hope!

However, Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit, completely rejected him!

"The desire to save the world with the Holy Grail is nothing but a fairy tale. If you can't live without this dream, then drown in your ideals! Emiya Kiritsugu!"

213. This time I will win everything!

Saving the world with the Holy Grail is just a fairy tale? Drowning in dreams?

Did your future self negate your ideals?

Why?! Could it be that...?

"You gave up on your dreams?"

Emiya Kiritsugu lay on the ground, staring in astonishment at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

"Ha, your so-called ideal is nothing but wishful thinking. Just like I said, saving the world with the Holy Grail is nothing but a fairy tale. The Holy Grail is simply incapable of fulfilling your wishes!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Emiya Kiritsugu roared like a madman.

"The Holy Grail can grant any wish; it will surely help me save the world!"

He raised his right hand and pointed at [Kiritsugu].

"And you are the best proof! Your presence here means you also place your hopes on the Holy Grail! You are just deceiving me!"

"Really? Do you think I'm deceiving you?"

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] raised his hand, and a submachine gun appeared out of thin air, pointing at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Then, what if I kill you now?"

"After all, I have no reason to deceive a dead man!"

what! ?

Emiya Kiritsugu stared in shock at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu]. He never expected that this future version of himself would want to kill him!

Really? Does he really want to kill me?

Under Kiritsugu Emiya's gaze, [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] placed his finger on the trigger and pulled it directly.

Bang - Bang -

Gunshots rang out, two in quick succession.

Kiritsugu Emiya stared at the bullet hole beside him, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. This future version of himself truly wanted to kill him!

Kiritsugu did fire, but before he did, someone else fired.
