The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Just as everyone was confirming, the figure beneath the Imaginary Tree moved. Approaching the Imaginary Tree, it reached out and touched its bark.

The Imaginary Tree in the Russian Lostbelt was instantly frozen in ice, then exploded into countless ice crystals that drifted across the earth with the wind and snow.

"The Imaginary Tree collapsed, and the mysterious woman vanished without a trace..."

"Even if there is movement, is it completely impossible to capture it?"

Manju observed from the sidelines, but couldn't seize any opportunity; the feeling was even more ethereal than when he invoked the power of Amun.

At the site of the collapsed Imaginary Tree, on the remaining stump, there is a replica of the Holy Grail.

Chaldea readily accepted the free gain, as they were in dire need of magic power.

"The underground flow of magic has stopped. There is no sign of life in the surrounding area except for them."

The fighting in Russia is completely over, and the permafrost, which was forever surrounded by wind and snow, is now clearing up.

The blizzard disappeared, revealing a blue sky that this land hadn't seen in four hundred and fifty years.

Manju wasn't particularly close to the remaining Servants, so he left Fujimaru Ritsuka to say goodbye and returned first. ⑨

"Mr. Volga?"

Upon returning to the submarine, Mashu was somewhat surprised to see Manju sitting comfortably inside.

"I imagine you still need my strength. And since I still possess the ability to walk independently, and there seems to be extra space on this submarine, please allow me to settle here for the time being."

Manshu smiled and said, "Naturally, no one will cast a vote against it, and even if they did, it wouldn't have any impact."

The submarine was about to depart. The storm wall surrounding Russia had disappeared, and the submarine smoothly headed towards the Russian border. After crossing the border, the Earth's landscape came into view. (II)

It was a vast expanse of white, nothing at all; this was the Earth reduced to a blank sheet of paper. ⑨

"Sherlock Holmes! Leonardo da Vinci!" Lin

The Chaldean employee sitting in front of the instrument suddenly shouted urgently, his face filled with shock, his mouth even agape. (5)

"Incredible! I've received communications! I'm constantly receiving long-range signals transmitted by magic! It must be because the Imagination Technique was removed that I can receive signals now!"

"What? What's the content of the message?"

Upon hearing Munir's words, everyone immediately surrounded him, anxiously asking, "q?"

"Okay, it's deciphered!"

"I am the magician of pan-human history, the magician of true history. If you receive this signal, please join me."

This is Polanddes, currently moving along the North Atlantic. Waiting for survivors, to repeat, waiting for survivors of the correct history.

This is Podanderes. The Wandering Sea, Podanderes.

"The Wandering Sea is actually the Wandering Sea! It's one of the three major organizations in the world of magic: the Clock Tower of London, the Atlas Institute of Egypt, and the Island of the Age of Gods hidden in the North Sea. The oldest magic building, the Wandering Sea! Does it still exist?"

Goldruff was utterly astonished, both by the Wandering Sea and by the survivors.

Having received communications from survivors, they had a new goal and a new direction to move forward.

The analysis results of the outside atmosphere have come out. Although the Earth has turned into a white expanse, the composition of the outside atmosphere is no different from that of the normal world.

Chapter Twenty-One: Frost

The submarine proceeded based on signals from the Wandering Sea, the coordinates of which came from the ocean west of Norway.

They are currently located west of Moscow, and to reach their destination, they must either cross the Scandinavian Peninsula or travel north through Denmark from Germany.

Although the Storm Wall in the Russian region has disappeared, it is clear that Storm Walls still exist in other regions, so imaginary submarine navigation is still required to reach the destination.

However, although Chaldea received a replenishment of magical energy and obtained something similar to the Holy Grail from the remains of the Imaginary Tree, the system was powered not by magical energy, but by electricity.

Although the equipment on the submarine has the ability to convert magic into electricity, the conversion efficiency is not very high. Without reserves, the conversion speed is slower than the speed consumed when the submarine is submerged.

However, because the coordinates provided by the Wandering Sea are rather vague and rough, and the Wandering Sea itself is moving, entering it is still quite difficult.

The distance wasn't too far; they could reach the Scandinavian Peninsula in two more days, where the Storm Wall was encircling the entire peninsula.

But just as everyone was discussing which direction to proceed, the submarine's instruments suddenly detected something approaching them at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour.

When the object got closer, the real issue was discovered: it was a missile launched by an unknown source.

Fortunately, the submarine's outer armor is a composite armor combining modern technology and magic theory, giving it a certain degree of protection against ordinary weapons.

The missile only knocked down one piece of armor plate without causing much damage to the submarine itself, but if it were attacked repeatedly, there would be little that could be done.

"It seems you've run into trouble; you've all been attacked on this pristine white land."

Manju didn't care about decision-making at all; instead, he was studying the Servant Spirit Origins recorded by Chaldea.

All the spirit origins of the Servants who had a connection with Fujimaru Ritsuka in the previous stories were recorded by Chaldea, which is also the most important thing that was brought out when Chaldea was destroyed.

After learning of its existence, Manju took it and intended to thoroughly examine the Spirit Origins of other Servants, attempting to make some possible changes to his own Spirit Origin.

Changing one's spirit origin is not entirely impossible, especially since one's spirit origin has changed countless times and is essentially an abstract concept.

It was only when the missile struck the submarine that the shock caused Manshu to stop reading and come up to see what had happened.

"Yes, it's the Servant who appeared in the Russian Lostbelt before, the priest who calls himself Matthews. He's approaching alone on foot!"

Chaldea has also observed the image of the person who launched the attack and quickly informed Manju.

"Oh, it's him. Then leave it to me."

He still had a strong impression of the priest Manshu, who resembled Kirei Kotomine, and was ready to set off immediately.

"Wait a moment, the hatch is opening!"

Da Vinci suddenly shouted, activating the in-car monitor to check the situation.

"It's Kadoc! He's running right up to the outside of the submarine, heading towards the deck!"

"Is he planning to escape during the chaos? Let's chase after him, we still have a mountain of questions to interrogate!"

To get from inside the submarine to the deck, there's no need to risk walking right up to the outside of the submarine; there's a transfer route: ⑵_,⑼∶⑷⊙+〇⑷◆☆⑶⑸⑹⑷ to the main entrance over there.

So when the group rushed over, Kadoc was just standing there on the deck, lost in thought.

"It seems you're planning to find a lifeboat or something here and try to escape. But it seems Chaldea simply doesn't have the resources to prepare such a thing."

Carlock's decision to escape from prison during the chaos clearly indicates his intention to find a spare ship and use the opportunity to flee.

But Chaldea doesn't have that many resources; they can barely keep the ship running.

"Hmph, I finally managed to escape to the deck, but I still have nowhere to go. I might have jumped in the past, but I have an agreement to keep, and I can't just throw my life away."

Kadoc laughed self-deprecatingly, making no move to resist, and simply waited for the men to take him back to the prison.

"Interrogate me all you want, I'll tell you everything. If I can escape with my life like this, it's worth it. No matter how terrible it is, I'll survive to the end."

"That's great! In that case, it's worth the trip, just in case!"

Ras** jumped onto the submarine deck from the back and said happily.

"Ras**! You bastard!"

Carlock turned his head away and shouted through gritted teeth.

But he couldn't resist the sudden appearance of Ras** who grabbed him; after all, he was human and couldn't resist the power of a Servant.

"Oh dear, it's been a long time since I last greeted you, Lord Goldrov Mujik, Master of Chaldea, and her Servant. Please allow me to offer my congratulations on your successful conquest of Russia."

Las** acted as if he were a friend he hadn't seen in a while, coming over to say hello and congratulate him on the good news.

But no one here would take this seriously, and Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately shouted, "Release Kadoc!"

“There’s no room for discussion on this. I have my own pride too. Kadoc’s mission as the Hidden One is over. After all, I am his overseer. As you can see, I will mercifully handle the aftermath for him.”

Rasmus still wore a gentle smile, but now anyone would probably take it as a false pretense.

"Please rest assured, Director Goldrov, my work does not include excluding you. My jurisdiction is currently limited to Russian territory, so I must handle this matter before you completely leave. I hope you can understand that I am still using a forceful strategy at my age."

I don't possess the power of Kayanskaya, who can move from one Lostbelt to another. My methods of movement are basically the same as yours; without the permission of the Alien God, I cannot move to the next Lostbelt—that is, I am part of the so-called middle management."

"An alien god? That's really interesting. Could you tell me more details, Father Massellis?"

"Alright, it's time to retreat. Let's leave the problem for another time, Sherlock. By the way, I don't want you to always call me by a false name. Please allow me to state my real name: Gregory Lars."

Ras** seemed to have no intention of lingering here. After grabbing Kadoc and taking his possession, he planned to jump off the submarine.

"Come when you want and leave when you want?"

Manju stood by, merely observing their conversation to see if he could glean any information. Seeing that Ras** was already planning to escape, he simply took out his trident and threw it forward.

"At this level, I'm sorry, I can't stay."

The hurled trident pierced Ras**'s flesh, but what flowed from the man's body was not blood, but black mud.

The mud revealed pure malice, which burned like oil the moment it flowed out.

When Manju arrived with his magic and extinguished the flames of malice, there was no one left.

"Such extraordinary skills... Is this the infamous demon monk?"

While it's true that Satisfaction underestimated the opponent, Shiva's trident, when imbued with magic, is at least an A-level attack and cannot be easily withstood.

The legend of Ras Guru is said to have an exceptionally strong will to live. According to the legend, he ate many pieces of food containing potassium cyanide without any effect. After being shot in the lung and falling into a coma, he woke up again. After being shot in the head, he was hit in the temple with a dumbbell. Finally, he was thrown into an ice hole in the Neva River and survived for eight minutes before dying. His body was even burned for ten hours before finally being destroyed.

Manju assumed that the other party possessed some kind of special immortality, and thus avoided the past.

There was clearly nowhere else to pursue. This vast, blank-slate Earth was not a place to easily find one's way, nor could it afford to delay the rest of the journey.

Manshu could only shake his head and return to the submarine. After a brief regrouping, the submarine continued its journey toward the Lostbelt of Northern Europe.

After sailing for another two days, Chaldea discovered the ruins of a building amidst a blanket of white snow.

Although the entire complex looks completely different now, compared to other areas where all you can see is white snow, there should still be room for exploration here.

Fortunately, the composition of the outside atmosphere remained largely unchanged, allowing ordinary people to survive normally.

Unfortunately, this place is just ruins. Although traces of life were found, all traces disappeared before Chaldea arrived.

Having gained nothing, they could only return to the submarine and continue towards the next Lostbelt, which was already quite close.

Not only was the Storm Wall visible to the naked eye, but even the Imaginary Tree could be vaguely seen.

As they approached their destination, the submarine began its imaginary dive to pass through the Storm Wall of the Lostbelt.

While the submarine was navigating in the imaginary space, it detected what appeared to be other active entities within the imaginary space.

Startled, Director Goldruff immediately chose to ascend. Fortunately, they had already passed through the Storm Wall and thus successfully and quickly ascended to the Lostbelt.
