If there's a way to resolve this, they still want to try to save her.
“It’s very simple. The Einzbern family can summon the evil god Angra Mainyu, right? Then they should also be able to summon his opposite, the benevolent god Ahura Mazda. As long as we can summon this one, all difficulties can be resolved.”
"...Mr. Ye Fan, are you joking? You yourself said that what we summoned in the last Holy Grail War was not the true form of an evil god, but an ordinary person who was given the name of an evil god. How could we possibly summon a good god again? Besides, the Holy Grail War has already progressed to this point, and all the vacancies have been filled. Even if we wanted to summon one, it would be too late."
Irisviel felt that Du Can was joking.
"If I can't summon it, then I can only purify the Holy Grail after I obtain the power of the benevolent god or the concept of purification."
"..." Artoria and Irisviel were both speechless. It was better to pray for divine intervention than to expect the other to gain the power of a benevolent god.
But Du Can wasn't just joking.
He had previously attempted to purify the Holy Grail. The so-called black mud was an absolute calamity that ordinary people and Servants would avoid at all costs, but it was not something that could not be eliminated by him.
The Greater Grail is connected to the spiritual veins and can convert nearly infinite source magic power to generate nearly infinite black mud.
After Du Can acquired the Light Sphere Space, he could refresh his physical state at any time, and the power he possessed was almost limitless.
However, the flame concept transformed from fighting spirit is not very effective at burning black mud. There is no restraint between the two, and they can only be forcibly extinguished by the most basic energy collision.
The [Two Elements Blue Silver Emperor] can absorb this black mud, but it feels like if it absorbs too much, it will easily turn black and transform into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor. Although it's not impossible, since its spirit will definitely not be affected by it, that would fall into the category of evil soul masters.
Surprisingly, the most effective effects were the [Two Elements Blue Silver Emperor] activating the conceptual power of the [Ten Thousand Poisons Counter] it gained after absorbing the [Fragrant Silk Immortal Item], and the conceptual power of the [Pure Yang Power] it possessed after absorbing the [Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower].
The 【Fragrant Silk Fairy Item】possesses the property of 【neutralizing all poisons】, which becomes a characteristic after it is transferred to this world.
Everything that harms people can be called poison, and black mud seems to have become a kind of harmful poison in his eyes, but it can also be restrained by him.
The concept of the "Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower" in removing impurities from the body and purifying evil fire also has some effect on the filth and impurities of human nature, such as black mud.
To be honest, it feels a bit outrageous. But in the Type-Moon universe, this is possible; as long as a connection can be forcibly established, it's possible to obtain similar attribute concepts.
In the Type-Moon universe, the concept of elemental restraint is often the optimal solution.
However, the [All Poison Buster Domain] of the [Fragrant Fairy Item] can only neutralize all poisons and does not have the effect of completely detoxifying.
While the pure yang power of the Phoenix Sunflower can remove impurities from the body, it cannot remove an aggregate of impurities even if it wants to.
Therefore, the black mud can restrain it, but cannot be eliminated by it.
If he obtains the divine power of the God of Kindness in Douluo Continent, or the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in Doupo Continent, or becomes the strongest being who fully masters the laws of Yin and Yang's birth, death, mutual generation and restraint in the Nine Cauldrons world, he should have a way to purify the corrupted Holy Grail.
Even without the power of the God of Kindness, the power of the God of Angels and the God of the Sea is not ineffective.
After all, in the original novel, Tang San used the Sea God's Light as holy light, and he was not invincible against evil soul masters, evil forces, and even evil gods.
"I can't purify the Holy Grail for now, but I can seal it to prevent it from causing trouble for the time being."
Chapter 91 The Method of Purifying the Holy Grail and the Lesser Holy Grail
The Douluo Continent has a god of good and a god of evil. It is estimated that Tang Jia San Shao also referenced the dualistic theory of good and evil of the Zoroastrianism back then.
If one can inherit its divine position, and then apply the concept of divine position to the Type-Moon world, it should be able to effectively suppress the Black Mud.
In the world of Doupo, there is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which has the power to purify all things, whether matter, energy, or spirit, all of which will be purified to a state of complete nothingness.
This concept, formed by the transformation of the strange fire created by the laws of heaven and earth into the Type-Moon world, should also be extremely restraining of the black mud.
There is also the world of Nine Cauldrons, where the strong comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. After reaching the Void Realm, they comprehend the mysteries of yin and yang, life and death, mutual generation and restraint, and the spiritual realm in the Niwan Palace transforms into a small world within their bodies.
Reaching this level of attainment, the world power generated by the inner world also possesses the mysteries of mutual generation and restraint. After being transformed into a concept in the Type-Moon world, it should also be effective against the black mud.
However, Du Can's power level in these three worlds is still a little bit lacking, so he has not yet obtained these powers.
However, the inability to purify the black mud in one go does not mean that it cannot be sealed and restricted, and that it can be slowly worn away over time.
“I had Hassan of the Hundred Faces block the passage, but now we can remove him. Would you like to come with me to see the Greater Grail now?”
"Our original goal for this trip was to examine the Greater Grail."
Artoria and the other two naturally wouldn't refuse. Although they knew the Greater Grail might be in a bad state, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and couldn't really confirm it.
"However, those in the sky..."
The battle in the sky grew increasingly fierce, and Gilgamesh even began casually wielding the sword Ea.
Although it was only operating at its minimum power, the red and black storm still possessed tremendous force, sweeping across the sky. If any ordinary fighter jet were to approach at this moment, it would likely be torn apart by the storm instantly.
“Let’s ignore them for now. Hassan the Hundred Faces still has some trump cards up his sleeve, and it will be quite difficult for Gilgamesh to kill him. As for Berserker…” Du Can glanced at Artoria, “As long as that black knight doesn’t run into you, with his unparalleled martial arts skills, no one should be able to take him down.”
Artoria nodded.
She had fought against both of them before.
The Assassin who had clearly been enhanced by Lord Ye Fan was no weaker than her, and his trump cards and treasures were diverse, making him virtually impossible to defend against.
As for that black Berserker, for some reason, he went berserk as soon as he saw her, attacking her frantically, but his martial arts skills were indeed unparalleled.
With these two dealing with the golden Archer and preventing him from suddenly going crazy and destroying the Greater Grail like Lord Ye Fan did, it should be feasible.
So, Artoria and her companion decided to follow Du Can to see the current Aeon Grail.
"Oh, right."
Du Can waved his hand, and countless points of light flew out.
These points of light flew freely and then landed on those who had been watching the commotion and were killed by Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm.
This is a resurrection power derived from the concept of "Acacia Heartbreak Red," possessing the power to bring the dead back to life.
With Du Can's current strength, reviving ordinary people with weak life force would be a piece of cake.
As for why he wanted to resurrect these people? Why so many questions? He just happened to be in a good mood and saved some lives, after all, it was something he could do.
However, there were a few magicians hidden in the shadows among these people, and Du Can was too lazy to revive them.
As for the magician, he has now seen through this group. Killing them all might result in some innocent people being wronged, but killing only half of them would definitely spare many heinous criminals.
They're good for nothing but causing trouble. It's better if this kind of group doesn't exist.
After looking at the countless points of light, Artoria frowned slightly again.
"It feels a bit like Merlin's trick... no, more like an elf's blessing."
Irisviel, who was quite skilled in healing magic and life alchemy, noticed some of the concepts contained in the light spots.
"A panacea for all wounds? It seems to be something higher in nature, somewhat similar to the legendary elixir of immortality recorded in demonic texts. Could it be..."
Irisviel wondered to herself.
Both of them had excellent eyesight, but they were absolutely unable to observe the situation of certain people who were far away from them.
After Du Can used this technique, he sensed with his mind that the bodies of the dead were rapidly recovering, and their souls had not yet dissipated. They would automatically wake up in a while.
"Alright, let's keep going."
"Sir, what was that you just did...?"
Artoria couldn't help but ask a question.
"It's nothing, I'm in a good mood right now, just doing a little favor for some people."
Du Can glanced at Irisviel: "Mrs. Irisviel will probably need this power for treatment in a little while."
Irisviel kept her lips tightly shut, not wanting to speak.
"Alice, what's wrong with your health?"
Artoria immediately asked with concern and seriousness.
"No...nothing..."
Irisviel clearly didn't want to tell Artoria about her current situation.
"Lord Ye Fan..."
Artoria turned to Du Can for advice.
"Mrs. Irisviel, as the vessel of the Lesser Grail, is responsible for collecting the souls of defeated Servants. But how can her single soul bear the weight of so many Servants' souls? It's alright now, but once one or two more Servants are defeated and die, and their souls are collected by her, her consciousness will be crushed, and she will become a vegetable."
Du Can didn't know much about Irisviel before, but after looking at her a few times, he immediately understood her true nature.
With his Title Douluo level of cultivation and spiritual power, it's easy for him to see the true form of certain things. After being transferred to this world, he can tell at a glance whether someone is a human or a ghost.
"Alice? The Lesser Grail?"
Artoria was utterly bewildered; she genuinely knew nothing about this. She didn't even know what the Lesser Grail was or what it was used for.
Is Irisviel a living, breathing person who is actually the Lesser Grail? Why does the Lesser Grail collect Servant souls? Could it be related to the wishes granted by the Holy Grail?
"The Holy Grail wish not only requires drawing a huge amount of magical energy from the ley lines, but also needs Servants as fuel to activate it. Artoria, if you find that you don't have enough fuel after the Holy Grail War, your Master might make you commit suicide to gather enough fuel."
Having studied the Greater Grail, Du Can naturally had a thorough understanding of these mechanisms.
In theory, the Holy Grail doesn't need to fight to the last person to grant its wish; it only needs to make all the Servants commit suicide.
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Artoria's anger flared up immediately.
If Kiritsugu Emiya had explained this to her when he first summoned her, she wouldn't be so angry. But he hasn't said anything yet, which means he's intentionally concealing it; this is deception!
Kiritsugu Emiya, born evil!
Chapter 92: Kiritsugu Emiya, Born Evil!
Kiritsugu Emiya, born evil! He didn't even tell her when he signed the contract that the Holy Grail could only be activated by using the souls of Servants like them as fuel.
She thought the fighting was just to eliminate other competitors. After all, the Holy Grail can only grant one person's wish, and ultimately, there can only be one victor.
But unexpectedly, the truth was like this.
Those heroes summoned from various eras were burned like peat without hesitation. Tohsaka, Matou, and Emiya Kiritsugu were truly born evil!
As for Irisviel, who was also aware of the situation, she was not angry, but even felt some sympathy.
Irisviel must have been coerced by the inherently evil Kiritsugu Emiya, which is why she didn't explain the matter.
Moreover, Alice is now also a victim of pain, and she really can't bear to vent her anger on Alice.
“Saber, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it, I really…”
Irisviel dared not look Artoria in the eye, but she could feel Artoria's overwhelming rage. She wanted to take all the blame upon herself so that Artoria would not resent Kiritsugu.
