That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Imagine watching a long and boring movie in a theater, telling the story of the Einzbern family's thousand-year-old wish, abandoning generation after generation of homunculus, and finally being sacrificed by the Winter Saint Justessa Rislesi von Einzbern, disappearing into the other side of the light to become the foundation of the Holy Grail system.

Everything is over

Consciousness arrived in a strange world, a riot of colors, a sea of ​​flowers covering the earth and stretching into the distance under a clear blue sky, adorned with a soft glow that warmed the consciousness.

Standing amidst a sea of ​​flowers that resembled a dream, stood a silver-haired woman whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to Irisviel. Dressed in a white celestial gown, her gaze was vacant and lifeless, her stare creating ripples as she watched the stranger who had intruded into the scene.

"who are you?"

“…that name is no longer suitable, so just call me Hall.” Hall chuckled. His name is taken from Homunculus, which is also sometimes translated as Homunculus.

In this world, the Matou family has completely fallen into decline, and Zouken Matou seems to have been killed as well, but in order to avoid further complications, there is no need to insist on using this name.

"Hall? Why would you use the Einzbern family's magic and the Third Law?"

"The Holy Grail, or you may be called the Winter Saintess Justessa Rislesi von Einzbern."

"The consciousness of the Winter Saintess no longer exists here; I am the consciousness of the Holy Grail."

Hall shrugged, released a portion of his memories, and smiled, saying, "It's somewhat different from what I know. In that case, please access my consciousness; reading my memories will be faster."

The Holy Grail came into contact with Hall's consciousness and appeared in another world to experience the Fourth Holy Grail War. There, the Holy Grail system was corrupted, the Third Law could not be realized, and the magician in front of him was the one who stopped the corrupted Holy Grail and reshaped the Holy Grail system.

The Holy Grail consciousness subtly changed its gaze as it stared at Hall's empty eyes.

"..."

"Another world... So this is the evil of this world. You magician from a parallel world, having traveled such a long journey, are you still pursuing the Holy Grail?"

"The Holy Grail, let's make a deal."

"The Holy Grail's duty is to respond to those who thirst for it."

"What I want in exchange is Caster's spirit origin. In exchange, I can help you construct and perfect the Holy Grail system."

"The Holy Grail will not favor any side or any one person."

"If the Winter Saintess Justessa Rislesie von Einzbern has already agreed, this is not favoritism, but simply the normal fulfillment of the Holy Grail's function. I believe the Holy Grail War system is not yet mature enough, and it is still possible that it will end in a meaningless way."

After much deliberation, the Holy Grail consciousness nodded: "Permission granted."

······

The Holy Grail War, although the original work is a novel, was actually a scrapped design for a certain MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game.

Perfecting the rules of the Holy Grail War is also quite simple; designing it according to the rules of MOBA games is always a safe bet.

Hall went so far as to apply the rules of the globally renowned MOBA game, League of Legends, to the Holy Grail War.

This Holy Grail War was basically conducted around three main rules.

First: Defeating one enemy Servant will reward you with one Command Seal.

Second: Servants who defeat the opponent's three knights (barracks) will be rewarded with priority participation in subsequent Holy Grail Wars.

Third: Destroy the opponent's core system (base) to cut off all magic supply.

It has many flaws, but it's still better than a dry battle of seven Servants against seven Servants.

What are Heroic Spirits?

Heroic Spirits are merely a collection of data recorded outside the world, possessing no inherent meaning. Summoning Servants or Heroic Spirits simply involves extracting the Heroic Spirit's data and placing it into a container to perform the summoning.

To put it simply, the Holy Grail provides the class/spirit origin, which is the hardware, while the Heroic Spirit is the software.

Now, Hall's own strength is completely comparable to that of a Heroic Spirit. He inherited all the magical knowledge of von Hohenheim Paracelsus and also learned some of the original rune knowledge from Scáthach, the queen of the Land of Shadows. Even among all Servants with Caster adaptability, he is absolutely top-notch.

Hall himself possesses data levels comparable to those of Heroic Spirits; what he lacks is a vessel to unleash the power of this data, namely, a Servant Spirit Origin.

The Holy Grail system in this world has not been corrupted, and what Shinji Matou needs to do is very simple: eliminate all Servants, obtain the Holy Grail, and make a wish.

Therefore, Shinji Matou needs to have the status and strength of a Servant, as well as not be bound by his Master.

The best option is a state similar to possession and summoning, where the Servant is oneself and the Master is also oneself. Shinji Matou can also use the loopholes in the Holy Grail system to summon an additional Servant.

At the request of some readers, I am changing the name, and there are also suitable reasons for it.

However, I often misspell names when writing them, and I estimate it will take at least a week to get used to it.

Chapter 144 Shaping the Spirit Foundation

"Look! This is the homunculus technology I'm so proud of. They are all homunculi with magic circuits. With them, there's no need to worry about Masters suffering from excessive magic depletion." The bloated magician walked past Hall, who was immersed in the incubation tank, and proudly declared with his arms outstretched.

The long-haired magician beside him replied indifferently, "Indeed, Gordes, continue to create more homunculus so that Servants can use Noble Phantasms at will."

Both of them are Masters of the Black Faction.

Hall recognized them but pretended to be asleep, no different from the other androids, and thus went unnoticed.

Once a magician notices something unusual about you, the most likely consequence is that you will be dissected and studied.

······

One day, the magician stood in front of a cyborg incubation tank, writing something down while instructing the cyborg beside him: "Cyborg number 18 is showing signs of organ failure. Remove it and discard it."

"Yes," the android beside him answered calmly.

······

For a whole week, Hall observed the activity outside the culture tank.

"We've pretty much figured out how this android factory works; it's time to make a move."

Immersed in the bluish-green culture medium, Hall carefully manipulated the fragile magic circuits, releasing all the magic power he had converted from his life force over the past few days in one go.

"Magic circuits, activate to maximum!"

"Traffic control begins!"

"Connected!"

Click~ Click~

The glass of the culture tank shattered with a crash, and the bluish-green liquid ripped through the glass. Hall's body lost its support and he knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The android's body was too fragile; even breathing air caused a burning pain in his lungs.

"Huff... huff huff... Compared to the overused magic circuits, this damn body hasn't even stepped out of the incubation tank, it's pitifully fragile."

Looking around, one sees a spacious, dimly lit basement containing dozens of identical artificial human cultivation tanks connected by flexible tubes, creating a futuristic yet chilling atmosphere.

In the world of magicians, there is no such thing as ethics; using living people to study magic is common sense.

Hall looked down at his emaciated body: "I've been observing their patterns of movement these past few days. A magician will come down in an hour to check on the android's condition, which will be enough time for me to complete all the rituals."

Hall struggled to his feet, took a few steps before panting heavily, and leaned against the artificial human incubation tank next to him. His eyes swept over the mountain of discarded artificial human corpses piled up in the corner of the basement, and his gaze became more pitiful.

These androids lack adaptability, or their life force has been completely drained, like disposable items that have exhausted all their value and will be sent to a landfill for disposal tomorrow.

But in Hall's eyes, the discarded android corpses were the best material to use alchemy to repair the android's body.

Click~

Hall stepped on the glass floor, cutting a large gash in his right foot. Accustomed to physical pain, he still couldn't help but curse how bad the magician who created the androids was.

Blood stained the green liquid as Hall laboriously walked to the pile of abandoned androids, clasped his hands together, and drained the remaining magic and life force within his body to begin alchemy.

Sizzle!

The blood flowing from beneath their feet formed a transmutation array, and the bodies of all the abandoned androids lit up with light patterns, illuminating the dim basement—all of which were the magic circuits of their bodies.

What Hall wanted to do was transfer these magic circuits to himself; otherwise, in his current state, fusing with a Servant's Spirit Origin would only lead to self-destruction.

"The core technology of these androids has the shadow of the Einzbern family's android technology. They are of the same origin, so it is not difficult to convert their magic circuits for our own use."

Hall took a deep breath: "Let's begin."

"Magic circuit, connect."

"Concept, unification."

"Magic Synchronization".

"response!"

"response!"

"response!"

Hall growled and chanted an incantation. Gradually, the light path of the abandoned android body weakened, while countless dense patterns lit up Hall's body, covering his face and then penetrating into his eyes.

Suddenly, Hall's right eye emitted a silvery-white light, like a vast universe.

Hall laughed excitedly: "The power of Origin Awakening is still there!"

Within the Type-Moon universe, Shinji Matou's origin has already awakened, a fact that cannot be changed even by replacing his body. The Mystic Eyes symbolize Howl's origin, an existence bound to his soul.

The characteristics of the Mystic Eyes were revealed, and Shinji Matou's control over magic power underwent a leap forward. The dense light patterns on his body rapidly faded, and he returned to normal.

Hall clenched his right hand, feeling his strength return considerably. He used his Mystic Eyes to analyze his body and assess his magic circuits: "While his magic circuits aren't as good as Irisviel's, they're far superior to Shinji Matou's original body. They're probably on par with Rin's, which is sufficient."

Next, Hall used alchemy to melt the mountain of discarded androids into blood and draw a Servant summoning circle.

Hall stepped into the center of the summoning circle. There was no need to chant incantations. The purpose of this ritual was not to summon a servant, but to obtain the Caster class spirit origin from the Holy Grail, mobilize the magic power in his body to combine with the summoning circle, and connect with the Holy Grail system.

As the radiance converged, powerful magic surged into Hall's body, completing the Spirit Origin Fusion based on the magic circuits—a process even simpler than possession and summoning.

Because Caster's spirit origin does not have a base plate inscribed with a Heroic Spirit, it is like a blank canvas for Hall to create on.

As the light faded, a handsome silver-haired youth emerged from the summoning circle, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Hole reshaped his body based on the Servant's Spirit Origin, using the Einzbern family's homunculus technology as a foundation and supplemented by Body Transmutation, making him both a Servant and a complete homunculus.

"The Einzbern family's android technology is still the best," Hall murmured, his consciousness sinking into the spirit origin to check the information of the spirit origin he had created himself.
