Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"I couldn't help it. I just spoke out of my feelings."

"Don't keep me in suspense."

"Well... Saber, you should know the power of the Holy Grail, right?"

"Yes, it's an all-purpose wishing machine that can make any wish come true." Saber nodded, her expression becoming serious.

"You still want to make that wish with it now?"

"Yes." Saber nodded firmly.

"Oh, why bother? It's not worth it at all." Shi Chen sighed.

"I know what you mean, but I have no other wish except this one." Saber said slowly.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if your wish could not be fulfilled?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 328 The Significance of Participating in the Holy Grail War

Saber's wish is to re-select the king through the Holy Grail. She has come to believe that she is no longer fit to be king.

If a new king had been chosen, perhaps the kingdom would not have been destroyed, or at least it would not have collapsed like that.

Regardless of whether she is convinced by Shi Chen now, the result will definitely be different if someone else becomes king.

She still didn't want her kingdom to be destroyed.

This is also the main reason why she became a heroic spirit.

This wish must be fulfilled no matter what, but she is not as strong as she was at the beginning.

Shi Chen's words still entered her heart. After all, she understood what he meant by the heart of a saint.

"Saber, have you never doubted the Holy Grail?" Shichen asked.

"What do you doubt?" Saber looked at him puzzledly.

"Do you think the Holy Grail can really fulfill any wish?" Shichen looked at Saber seriously.

“What do you mean?” Saber’s expression changed slightly.

"Fool, if the Holy Grail can really fulfill any wish, then would there still be a Holy Grail in this world?"

"this......"

Saber finally thought of this. If the first winner obtained the Holy Grail, how could she allow others to obtain it?

After all, if the Holy Grail could really fulfill any wish, then how could greedy people not fulfill some extraordinary wishes?

If those wishes came true, the Holy Grail would not exist.

But these are not the key points. Shichen remembered that the Holy Grail itself had no self-awareness or judgment. It was just a container that stored a large amount of colorless magic power. Therefore, it could only provide corresponding magic power according to the user's wishes.

However, how to realize the wish specifically requires the user to specify the method and process.

That is to say, if the user knows how to use magic to realize his wish, then the Holy Grail can help him realize it. If the user does not know how to use magic to realize his wish, or the wish itself is beyond the scope of magic, then the Holy Grail is powerless.

Because the magic power in the Holy Grail is not infinite, and it cannot do everything.

“Do you understand the limitations of the Holy Grail?” Shichen looked at Saber with a smile.

"Well...but, the Holy Grail should be able to fulfill my wish, right?" Saber asked anxiously.

"That's no problem."

"That......"

Saber showed joy on her face, but within a second, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Shichen.

"But I won't let you make a wish into the Holy Grail and have it come true."

"Eh?"

Saber stared at Shichen blankly: "What... do you mean?"

"Don't worry, I don't want to be your enemy." Shi Chen rubbed her head.

“So what do you mean?” Saber secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, she was not afraid that Shi Chen would become her enemy, but she was afraid that he would deceive her.

There seems to be no difference between the two, but to her now, there is a world of difference.

"Next, I will tell you the real reason why I came to this world."

“Come to this world?” Saber grasped the point and frowned.

"I'll tell you about this later. Let me tell you about the Holy Grail first."

"Holy Grail?"

"The Holy Grail is contaminated." Shi Chen's expression became serious.

"Pollution? What does that mean?"

Saber could only follow Shichen's words in confusion, not understanding what he meant at all.

"You should know that the Holy Grail War has happened several times, right?" Shi Chen asked without rushing to explain.

"Well... this is the Fourth Holy Grail War." Saber nodded slowly.

"The Holy Grail was contaminated during the last Holy Grail War."

"Shichen, what do you mean?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Toki began to explain to Saber what happened in the Third Holy Grail War, and even though he had not experienced it, he remembered it clearly.

In the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family violated the rules and summoned the eighth-class Servant Angra Mainyu in order to achieve their goals.

They had expected to summon a powerful evil god, but ended up summoning an ordinary man, who was defeated on the fourth day after the war began. What was worse, Angra Mainyu's soul was absorbed by the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail was thus tainted because of the special properties of Angra Mainyu.

He was originally an ordinary young man who was regarded as a sacrifice and an evil god by the villagers, but he carried the evil wishes of mankind. When he was summoned and defeated, the Holy Grail mistakenly took his evil wishes as human wishes and tried to fulfill them.

These wishes are all evil, and the contaminated Holy Grail becomes uncontrollable. Once released, it will release "all the evil in this world", that is, Angra Mainyu, bringing endless disasters and destruction.

This malice will continue until all of humanity is wiped out.

In other words, any wishes from now on will be interpreted maliciously, and will eventually lead to the extinction of mankind.

“How is it possible…” After listening to Shichen’s explanation, Saber was unwilling to believe it.

If that's the case, what's the point of her coming to participate in the Holy Grail War?

Wouldn't it be impossible for her wish to come true?

Even if it can be realized, there will be bad consequences, because she will eventually lead to the extinction of mankind.

This was definitely not what she wanted to see.

"Don't you believe me?" Shi Chen looked at him calmly and asked.

"I..." Saber paused and shook her head gently: "How could I not believe you."

Shi Chen had no reason to lie to her, and he had always been thinking about her. If he didn't want her to realize her wish, there were plenty of ways to do it, and there was no need to use this excuse.

But because of this, she couldn't accept it even more.

I finally got to this point, and finally could realize my dream. After working so hard for so long, all in vain.

Although she didn't seem to try very hard.

“Alas.” Shichen hugged Saber tightly in his arms distressed.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Saber can realize his wish or not, it’s just about changing history. The world has changed history, and it has nothing to do with him. He can still take everyone away, including her.

From now on, this world has nothing to do with them, and Saber and the others can start a new life without any regrets.

But the Holy Grail was contaminated, and regret was inevitable.

"Can I really...not fulfill my wish?" Saber murmured while lying in Shichen's arms.

"Of course you can, as long as you don't care about the lives of everyone in this world."

"..."

"Perhaps you are not aware of the Holy Grail's misunderstanding of wishes. If you were to fulfill your wish to re-elect a king, history would change, and it could potentially wipe out everyone."

"how come......"

“It really will.”

"...Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"At that time, our relationship was not so good. Do you think if I had told you earlier, you would have believed what I said?"

"I..." Saber couldn't refute.

She was clear about her obsession. If Shichen had told her earlier, she would never have believed it and might even have had a bad relationship with him.

Shichen will not hurt her. If, in the end, she continues to make a wish without believing it... then she will be the biggest sinner.

“I…what should I do?” Saber’s tone was tearful.

"What?" Shi Chen was stunned.

“What should I do next?” Saber suddenly hugged Shichen tightly and huddled in his arms.

"It's simple, let's go destroy the Holy Grail." Shichen patted her on the back.

“Destroyed the Holy Grail?” Saber couldn’t help but look up and looked at him with tearful eyes.

Shichen stroked her face, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and smiled at her: "How can we keep such a holy grail? It will harm the world sooner or later. How about we destroy it?"

"Destroying the Holy Grail... Is this what you said, the reason you came to this world?"

"It's not just this." Shi Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Eh?"

"And meeting you."
