The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Since he was a subject serving the king, he naturally could not lose face in his dealings with others.

"Let's drink the kind that Matou Kariya likes, and let me test your taste."

Kirei Kotomine sat down at the table and began to speak.

……

"Thank you for your hospitality, Matou Kariya. I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave now."

The two only had a brief conversation before Kirei Kotomine finished the tea that was served to him and got up to say goodbye.

In this respect, he seemed like a normal guest, leaving Matou Kariya wondering why he had come today.

The man's face showed complete ease and confidence, without any sign of crisis awareness or tension as he was planning.

He might be enjoying the moment, which may seem unbelievable, but perhaps such people really do exist.

Forget it, I shouldn't think too much about it. A mediocre person like himself will only make more mistakes the more he thinks.

Kariya Matou chose to give up trying to figure out what the guy in front of her was up to. In any case, the king she served would definitely be able to see through it and deal with it perfectly.

He had completely put those concerns and worries behind him. After calming down and thinking it over carefully, Matou Kariya realized that he had no need to worry about it at all.

The short tea time is enough for one to get their mind working and figure out what they need to do.

"I advise you to stop using so many schemes and tricks. How could the wisdom of a mortal possibly deceive the eyes of a great god? Even if you can fool me, you can't fool the wisdom of our king, who has obtained the wisdom of the divine god."

As Si saw the guest to the door, Matou Kariya said this as a final remark.

(3) Chapter Fifty, in a grand and dignified manner

③“My king, that is all. My foolishness prevents me from discerning the treacherous schemes of others, leaving me only in bewilderment. I only wish to seek your wisdom to resolve my doubts, and I beg your forgiveness for my overstepping my bounds.”

Standing before Manju, Matou Kariya recounted the entire process of Kirei Kotomine's visit, speaking respectfully.

5. "Your actions and choices are correct, Yan Ye. I forgive your transgression and bestow upon you the wisdom of the God of Thoth."

After listening to Matou Kariya's report, Manshu patted him on the shoulder and told him to stand up.

I was indeed negligent; I was so focused on having fun that I forgot about these trivial matters.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late, and nothing too messy or upsetting happened.

Manju expressed his approval and delight at Matou Kariya's actions.

If Matou Kariya intends to handle this matter alone, there's a chance something might go wrong.

Although Manju had provided Matou Kariya with sufficient protection as a precaution, it was not a complete guarantee.

"The God's blessing will be bestowed upon you, so just go ahead and do your thing. As for the consequences, there's absolutely no need to think about them."

"Since you are prepared to redeem yourself from your past regrets and place all your hopes on the Holy Grail, you should have even less to worry about or fear."

"The chance to salvage everything is right there. Even if you fail, you can still grasp the future, because I am here, and the Holy Grail is the ready gift."

Manju didn't take this matter too seriously. The only reason he looked pleased was because his Master hadn't acted on his own.

If he can meet this requirement, it will not affect his victory or his subsequent actions.

That's more than enough, and naturally deserves praise.

As for resolving this matter, there's still no need to use overly complicated ideas.

The very existence of intrigue and scheming is to compensate for insufficient strength. If one could directly overwhelm others with overwhelming power, why resort to such pointless schemes?

As Manju spoke, he drew down divine light, and abundant divine energy surrounded Matou Kariya, filling his body with power.

"No need to be hindered by others, nor constrained by distracting thoughts, the all-powerful wish-granting machine that can turn everything around is right here."

Manjusbane took Irisviel from his solar ship, and the return of the third soul to the Holy Grail had already caused Irisviel to lose her mind.

Irisviel was currently unconscious, so Manju placed her in front of Matou Kariya and spoke to him.

"So she was the Holy Grail vessel made by the Einzbern family in this generation. No wonder Kiritsugu Emiya made her play Saber's Master before."

After a moment's recollection, Matou Kariya knew Irisviel's identity. As one of the three starter families, Matou Kariya was aware of these basic facts.

"It seems Saber has already been defeated, otherwise the Einzbern family would not have handed over the Holy Grail vessel. You are still as determined as ever, coming out to win."

Matou Kariya didn't yet know the details of Manjusaki's battle, but seeing that Alice had become a spoil of war, he could guess the specific outcome.

Kariya Matou instinctively praised her first before replying.

"Thank you for your mercy, my king. I will not be affected by these things. If Kirei Kotomine tries to blackmail me with Aoi and Rin, I will refuse him and then kill him."

As long as the Holy Grail is still here, he can recover from any action he takes with the Holy Grail. Right now, the only things blocking our way are Kirei Kotomine and Rider's Master.

I will not let his words sway me. If he attempts to utter even the slightest deception, I will kill him on the spot.

Matou Kariya reaffirmed his stance as he spoke to Manju.

Although it's unknown whether he can actually do what he says, at least he's putting on that kind of presence and demeanor at this moment.

"Then let's do it. I will stay high in the sky and deter the villains hiding in the shadows. I wonder if that king who has fled and is hiding will ever show his face again."

That being said, Archer’s excessive calmness was indeed unsettling.

Although this unease was only a little bit, he no longer needed to be afraid. With the infinite magic power flowing within him, he didn't need to be overly in awe of even the Ea.

However, Manshu was looking forward to something, namely, to witness the Heaven-Opening and Earth-Splitting Sword revealing its true power.

Just as Manjus longed for the light of that planet to appear before his eyes, the hellish scene before the creation of the world was also something to be curious about.

Now that we have witnessed the brilliance of another sword, we have no choice but to come and see the remaining one.

I just hope you don't bore me, King of Heroes Gilgamesh. You must show your full strength, and it would be best if you could unleash extraordinary power.

Perhaps this is arrogance, but when it is truly possible to do so, why not do it?

Manshu was determined to satisfy and fulfill her desires as much as possible.

After all, there aren't many moments when you can enjoy this abundant, almost limitless magic, so when you can, you should enjoy it to the fullest.

"Let me take you there, Yan Ye. Under the sun's rays, all the demons and monsters will turn to ashes and vanish."

Having made up his mind, Manju stepped out of the room into the courtyard. A sun ship shimmering with golden magic appeared beneath Manju's feet, and Matou Kariya followed behind, stepping onto the deck of the sun ship.

The city, which had just fallen silent amidst the roar, was immediately shattered by a blinding flash of light.

The sun's rays, illuminating the world, once again fell upon the city, and the sun's divine power once more shone across the entire sky.

"It seems your plan is going to fail, Kirei."

Gilgamesh, reclining on the sofa and swirling his wine glass, remarked with interest as he watched the sun rise over the Tohsaka family mansion and felt the surging magical power radiating indiscriminately in all directions.

"However, it is still quite difficult to choose such a target for the second time. Failure is inevitable. At least the first script was written quite well."

Gilgamesh shook his head, saying with a hint of regret.

"..."

Kirei Kotomine silently gazed at the sun in the sky and placed the glass in his hand on the table.

“I’ll contact Kiritsugu Emiya. Aren’t you going to stop Berserker? If this continues, your collection might be taken away by someone else.”

Kirei Kotomine turned around and asked Gilgamesh.

Chapter 51 Divergence (Revised)

"Why did you stop and not move forward when you got to the door?"

On the solar ship, Manju did not stand on the bow to overlook the view of Fuyuki City, but instead sat on the throne of the solar ship.

Matou Kariya stood right in front of Manju, a hint of hesitation creeping onto her face.

At the speed of the solar boat, crossing the entire Fuyuki City would only take a blink of an eye, so there was no need for Matou Kariya to stand here.

So Manju propped himself up with his right hand, sat diagonally on the throne, and asked Matou Kariya.

"Although I made a solemn vow to you just now, after leaving the Matou family, I, being a vulgar person, started to have all sorts of wild thoughts again, and I don't know how to face Aoi and Rin."

"Although Tokitomi Tohsaka is a bastard whose head is full of so-called magician's principles, he is indeed Aoi's husband and Rin and Sakura's father."

"...Aoi will probably blame me now, maybe even hate me. I might be able to think about these things now, but if Aoi said it herself, could I really still remain rational?"

Kariya Matou knew that this guy probably had a hard time thinking properly, and the more he needed to think calmly and seriously, the less he could think things through.

“This is a normal consideration, Kariya.”

Manju was just here to fish, but who knew if Gilgamesh would be out in the open? It would be too boring if things went uneventfully.

So Manshu was happy to stop by and chat for a few minutes before letting Matou Kariya set off.

However, the advice that Manshu would give would probably be no different from before.

"But you don't have to let these obstacles hold you back. Either face them or turn away. If you stay put and hesitate, I might as well throw you off the ship. Such an indecisive person is not worthy to stand by my side."

Manchukuo could only offer people the means to make a decision, not advice on decision-making.

Few people need advice from others; he doesn't, and neither do others.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. At this point, I still can't take a step. If I hadn't met you, I really don't know how I would have been able to obtain the Holy Grail. A fool like me would probably have fallen at the very beginning."

Matou Kariya patted his head and said with a wry smile.

"Your foolish and ignorant subject bids you farewell for now, my king. I will bid farewell to my distracting thoughts and burdens."

After Matou Kariya said goodbye and stepped out of the cabin, Manju used his magic to send Matou Kariya down. However, just as he was about to use Thoth's eyes to see what would happen down there...

A divine ship appeared from the other side of the sky, also radiating immense magical power.

"They actually repaired the Vimana that was destroyed by Yu, are they trying to get revenge for their previous failure?"

The divine ship that appeared in the sky was Vimana, the ship of light forged from emeralds and gold.

It seems that Gilgamesh spent a lot of effort repairing the ship after it was destroyed by Manjushri last time.

But what's the point of recovering something you've already lost once? It's just repeating the same ending.

Manju left his throne and walked to the bow of the ship, intending to take another look at Gilgamesh.

I wonder what this guy has prepared to dare to launch such an attack.

"I never expected you to dare appear before me again. Are you ready to once again feel like you've fallen from the sky and been banished from the realm of the King, Archer Gilgamesh!"

Looking at the golden spaceship radiating divine light not far away, Manshu came to the bow of the ship and laughed heartily.

Golden magical light burst forth amidst the laughter, transforming into a raging celestial serpent that streaked across the sky, pouncing towards the golden Vimana as if on a hunt.
