"The first possibility is that the other party used Caster to perform an illegal summoning and summoned the eighth Servant. This kind of thing also existed in the information about the Holy Grail War recorded by the Einzbern family." However, Kiritsugu Emiya did not say anything about the fact that it was the Einzbern family that violated the rules last time.
"If that's the case, then the number of servants matches, and an illegal summoning can only be done once, and the summoned servants will also be subject to certain restrictions. If this is really the case, it is actually good news for us now." If one of the two people guarding the Holy Grail is an illegal servant, then the success rate of the battle plan will increase a lot.
"What about the other possibility?" Waver could tell from Kiritsugu Emiya's tone that he was not optimistic about this possibility. He swallowed and prepared to hear the bad news that was about to follow.
"Except for Tezcatlipoca, as for the other two, one of them is the Master of the other, or even worse, neither of them is a Servant." Emiya Kiritsugu slowly said the answer that Waver had already guessed but did not want to hear at all.
Kiritsugu Emiya was also reluctant to face this reality, but he could never rely on luck in a war, and he had to prepare for the worst in advance.
If this is the case, then in addition to the three enemies in the open, they must at least be wary of a Caster whose whereabouts are unknown, as well as unknown enemies whose number and strength are unknown.
Just thinking about this situation made Emiya Kiritsugu feel desperate, not to mention that he had to find a way to win in such a situation, which made him even more desperate.
"Hahaha! The stronger the enemy is, the more worthy they are to be conquered. I will defeat them all and accomplish my new great cause!" Iskandar's sudden loud laughter broke the increasingly depressing atmosphere at the scene.
"The enemy won't become weaker just because you're frowning here. Instead of adding to your troubles, why not think about how to defeat the enemy that's already in front of you!"
"Listen carefully! No one expects us to save the world. Whether the world needs our salvation is another matter. The world will not stagnate because of the failure of a certain group of people!"
“You just need to create a suitable battlefield for Saber and me, and we will take back the victory!” Iskandar seemed to be shining at this moment, and his powerful momentum and confident aura inspired everyone present.
"Yes!" Weber looked at Iskandar with admiration. Only at this moment did he understand what the true king's bearing was and what Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, was!
"Rider is right, Master! Please believe us, we will burn our lives to bring you victory." Altria also made up her mind and decided that no matter what, she would never do nothing like last time.
"What I want is not for you to risk your lives, but for you to come back alive after winning." Emiya Kiritsugu put out the cigarette in his hand and began to make tactical arrangements.
"You're quite capable." Kagura stared at the picture in the Mirror of Life with interest, watching Kiritsugu Emiya's pre-war class broadcast live by Kanna.
Kagura also had to praise the other party. Even in such an unfavorable situation, they were able to find one or two theoretically feasible methods. If they really only had the strength shown on paper, they might really fail.
However, Toru Yamagami's perfect assassination reminded Kagura that she should never underestimate her enemies. So after witnessing the death of Smoke Mirror, Kagura immediately asked Kanna to lock the positions of the remaining few people and started the live broadcast.
If it was just a normal surveillance investigation, it would be impossible to hide it from Altria who possesses [Intuition: A]. However, the one using the ability now is Kanna, who symbolizes [Nothingness]. With Kanna's ability, perhaps she would be able to detect some abnormalities only after the level of her intuition reaches EX.
"Let's get rid of them quickly. I can't wait to make a wish to the Holy Grail." Sakura pulled Kagura's sleeve and said coquettishly. For more than a year, she has been looking forward to the arrival of the Holy Grail War every day. Now that victory is at hand, Sakura is very much looking forward to meeting Bai Hen.
"Yes, it's time to end it." Kagura half closed her eyes. Although she admired the enemy's fighting spirit, she did not intend to let the enemy show this fighting spirit again. It was time to end this Holy Grail War.
A violent storm appeared above Fuyuki City. Thick dark clouds completely blocked out the sky. The water vapor in the atmosphere was condensing and vibrating, causing great fear in the hearts of Emiya Kiritsugu and others who were still discussing tactics.
"Is the enemy going to destroy Fuyuki City?!" Waver cried out in shock at the exaggerated celestial phenomenon. While his side was still considering how to make ten times the value of one part of the power, the enemy used one hundred times the power to tell them how naive their ideas were.
"If Saber and Rider commit suicide, I can cancel this attack." Kagura's voice appeared in the ears of several people along with the rhythm of the wind, "One city, two servants, make your choice."
Kiritsugu Emiya opened his mouth but found that he could not make any sound. This could be said to be the situation he was most familiar with. He had put his life on the scale countless times and then chose to save the party he thought was more valuable.
Now Kiritsugu Emiya is faced with a new choice. On one hand, there is the life of the entire Fuyuki City, including his own; on the other hand, there is their only hope to defeat the enemy.
Chapter 175 Make a wish and pray to me
The storm dissipated, the dark clouds retreated, and Artoria and Iskandar turned into a piece of spirit and disappeared from this world.
At this point, the only surviving servant is Caster Paracelsus, who was only a supporting role throughout the whole process. He was able to survive because of the unexpected exit of the Smoke Mirror, otherwise he would have been the sixth servant to exit.
In the end, Kiritsugu Emiya and Waver compromised with Kagura's threat, or rather, they never had a choice.
If the enemy pointed guns at their heads, they might have a chance to resist, but when the enemy pointed the gun directly at them and even the fuse was lit, let alone ordinary people, even Altria and Iskandar themselves were not sure they could survive.
Although Iskandar was unwilling to give up and still wanted to make a final resistance, he had no chance of a desperate struggle as he could not even lock onto his target. He could only smile and comfort Weber with a few words before leaving the stage with regret.
Saber, who had a higher moral standard, naturally would not let Emiya Kiritsugu trust her by risking the lives of the entire city. Even though she was sure that she could break the storm after releasing the Holy Sword of the Stars, that was all she could do.
It is useless as long as the enemy cannot be defeated. In the end, Artoria just asked Kiritsugu Emiya to try to rescue Irisviel before leaving. Judging from the enemy's actions, there is a high possibility that Irisviel is still alive.
"It's over..." Emiya Kiritsugu lit the cigarette again and looked up at the sky blankly, not knowing what the meaning of what he had been doing during this period of time was.
"Next time...next time I will definitely win!" Weber said, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes.
Unlike Emiya Kiritsugu who felt empty, Waver really gained a lot in this short Holy Grail War.
Teacher Kenneth's perception of him has changed, the oldest king, the Hero King Gilgamesh, is even willing to call out his name, and the Conqueror King Iskandar has gone from being disdainful of him in the beginning to now acknowledging him.
Although it was only a short day, Weber felt that this day was enough for him to savor for the rest of his life.
"Let's go, Emiya Kiritsugu. Since they don't care about our lives at all, it means that Mr. Kenneth and Ms. Irisviel are very likely still alive. Let's go and rescue them!" Waver wiped his tears and said to Emiya Kiritsugu, the magician killer who made him tremble not long ago.
"Well, let's go." Emiya Kiritsugu cheered himself up, asked Hisau Maiya to stay here on standby, and decided to go to the place where the Holy Grail was with Waver.
Whether it was a deal or a prayer, Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to see Irisviel survive.
"Wait, five Servants have died, what about Irisviel's body?!" Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly realized another very important thing, that is, Irisviel's body is a small Holy Grail made in imitation of the Holy Grail. With so many Servants dying in such a short time, Irisviel's body will definitely not be able to withstand it!
"Hurry up!" Emiya Kiritsugu urged Waver. Even if he couldn't save Irisviel, he at least wanted to see her for the last time.
"Holy Grail War, ah." The ignored Kotomine Risei shook his head and sighed.
He had no intention of immediately taking back the Command Seals that had been divided equally between Emiya Kiritsugu and Waver Velvet. If these Command Seals could be used as bargaining chips to exchange back for the Lord El-Melloi, it would be a great value for money. If they were not consumed, it would not be too late to take them back in the end.
'Emiya Kiritsugu...' Kotomine Kirei repeated the name in his heart. After a short time together, Kotomine Kirei had already understood that this man named Emiya Kiritsugu could not be the same as himself. In fact, he was the complete opposite of himself.
A day ago, Kotomine Kirei would have felt disgusted with Emiya Kiritsugu after realizing his true nature.
But now Emiya Kiritsugu is completely like a lost dog. He came to the land of Fuyuki in order to obtain the Holy Grail and realize his tragic wish, but he had to watch his servants leave; he tried his best to seize the slim hope of victory, but it was all gone before an irresistible force; he still held a glimmer of hope just a moment ago, but his expectations were shattered in the blink of an eye.
"Happy~ So happy~" All the sufferings that Emiya Kiritsugu had experienced made Kotomine Kirei feel extremely happy.
The more he looked at the painful expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face, who was the complete opposite of himself, the more Kotomine Kirei felt that his whole body was cheering with joy.
"Emiya Kiritsugu...if we can both survive, I won't let you get away." Kotomine Kirei lowered his eyelids to prevent his father from discovering his inner joy and happiness.
"Ah, so the Holy Grail War is over?" Von Hohenheim Paracelsus looked at Kagura who summoned him back with a Command Seal in confusion.
Paracelsus, who thought that his Master was in trouble, was ready for a fight. However, he never expected that the Holy Grail War had already ended while he was working so hard to transform the magic formation. Even until now, he had never seen any other Masters and Servants except Smoke Mirror and Sakura.
"Did they summon me because they couldn't start the ritual without a Servant?" Apart from this possibility, Paracelsus could no longer think of any other meaning for his existence.
"Yes, your work is done." Kagura was also thinking about what else Paracelsus could be used for. It would be a bit of a waste to kill him, after all, the Holy Grail could already be activated, but there seemed to be no use in keeping him.
Although Paracelsus didn't know what Kagura was thinking at the moment, his intuition told him that it must not be a good thing, which made him somewhat uneasy.
"Sister Kagura, can you give him to me? I need someone to teach me magic." Sakura thought for a moment and said.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Kagura didn't ask Sakura what specifically she wanted Paracelsus to do, but it was definitely not just the simple teaching of magic as she said.
"Huh~ Looks like I'm saved." Paracelsus no longer cared about being given away like a commodity. If possible, he really wanted to stay as long as possible.
"Please give me more guidance in the future, teacher." Sakura saluted Paracelsus in a formal manner.
"I dare not. Master, just call me by my name Paracelsus. I will try my best to teach you everything I know." Paracelsus said gently. He felt that Sakura was a very considerate and well-behaved girl.
"Everything is ready, now it's time to get down to business." Kagura looked at the golden Holy Grail in front of her.
There are no fancy special effects on it, and the holy grail does not emit any sacred golden light. It looks like an ordinary, well-made cup.
But Kagura understood that Lord Baihen's will had been waiting inside for a long time. After more than a year of waiting, the moment of bearing fruit finally came today. Lord Baihen was about to come into this world at her call.
Oh, no, Paracelsus is now Sakura's servant. According to the rules, it should be Sakura. Although this rule is actually irrelevant, Sakura has been looking forward to this day, so it's okay to give it to Sakura.
"Sakura, go." Kagura touched Sakura's hair and spoke to her gently.
"Okay, I'll go." Sakura nodded obediently, and then solemnly came to the Holy Grail under the gaze of everyone.
"God, can you hear me?" Sakura called out anxiously in her heart. Although she occasionally saw Kagura and Kanna talking to the god named Baihen who saved them, she herself had never been treated like this.
Although Kagura and Kamui had clearly stated that they were here to take care of her and to help the gods come into this world, Sakura was still very worried about this, fearing that she would do something that would displease them and make them hate her.
Even though Kagura has told Sakura many times that it would not happen, Sakura, who feels insecure, will not get rid of her fear until she gets a personal answer from Bai Hen. And Sakura herself has never had a direct conversation with Bai Hen.
Not to mention Kagura and Kamiya, even Smoke Mirror would occasionally receive warnings from Baihen. This is also the reason why Sakura is very unhappy with him, even though it was Smoke Mirror who had made a deal with Baihen and rescued her from the Matou family a year ago.
'Pray, Sakura; make a wish, Sakura; prepare for my coming, Sakura.'
Although Ying had never heard Bai Hen's voice, when this voice appeared in her mind, Ying knew that it was the voice of the God she had been thinking about day and night.
"Yeah!" Sakura responded loudly and excitedly. The disguise that had been floating on her surface was shattered at this moment. Sakura finally revealed the innocence and romance that should have appeared at her age.
'I don't know what kind of wishes they are going to make, but I feel like there's something wrong with my new Master...' Paracelsus thought with some worry as he watched Sakura's sudden change in temperament, and suddenly he felt like he had entered a new den of thieves.
"Holy Grail, I make a wish, let the god Sakura come to the world!" Sakura opened her little arms and shouted loudly in her childish and clear voice.
After Sakura's voice fell, dark magic power gushed out from the golden Holy Grail, piercing through the temple and tearing the sky apart. At this moment, the magic power in the spiritual veins of the entire Fuyuki City was madly rushing towards the Holy Grail. The world outside Fuyuki City finally received the message from Fuyuki City again.
Chapter 176 The World is Evil!
A dark hole appeared in the sky above Fuyuki City, as if all the light was swallowed up by it.
"What is that?" Weber looked in shock at the dark pillar of light that suddenly appeared in the sky, as well as the large hole drilled by the pillar of light. Just by staring at the abyss-like hole, Weber felt as if his soul was about to be sucked into it.
"I don't know." Emiya Kiritsugu took a quick look and then looked away, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Although he didn't know what exactly was going on, Emiya Kiritsugu knew that the current abnormality must be related to the Holy Grail. Since the Holy Grail had begun to fulfill the wishes of the victor, it meant that Irisviel was likely dead, and he was still one step too late after all.
"Let's go. We must go no matter what it is." At the same time when the dark light column appeared, Hisau Maiya informed Emiya Kiritsugu that communication with the outside world had been restored, which meant that the so-called ritual incubation field mission had been completed.
Regardless of whether the ominous magic gave birth to human evil or something else, Emiya Kiritsugu planned to rush to the scene as soon as possible. Since he could not see Irisviel for the last time, he had to at least send out as much information as possible.
"Yeah." Waver shook his head and dared not look up at the sky again. His body, strengthened by magic power, closely followed Kiritsugu Emiya's steps. The Holy Grail was right in front of him.
"Are you still resisting at this time? If you wanted to resist, why didn't you come earlier?" Bai Hen said with some dissatisfaction as he felt the repulsive force from the world and the root.
We have been running in for so long and were about to reverse into the parking space, but suddenly I told him that the parking space was not open. I have already driven the car here and you are telling me this. What were you doing before?
The dark magic power began to spread to the world with the big hole in the sky as the center, but in the blink of an eye the whole world was shrouded in darkness. In this world, everyone on the public earth clearly felt that something was coming.
"What's going on in this world?!" Xubain Aug, who was sitting on his throne and leisurely browsing the parallel world, was suddenly awakened by the darkness and couldn't help but let out a terrified cry.
Over countless years, Shubain Aug has witnessed the development of countless worlds, seen all kinds of accidents, and brought changes to countless worlds with his own abilities. He has also faced situations where he was unable to save humanity and the world was destroyed.
But Xu Baiin Aug had never seen such a situation before. The malice coming from the dark magic made him think of human evil for a moment, but Xu Baiin Aug immediately rejected this possibility.
Compared with the current situation, human evil is already countless times milder. What's more crucial is that human evil is essentially an existence born out of love for humanity. Even if the two appear similar on the outside, their inner qualities are countless dimensions different.
The most important thing is that Xu Baiin Aug has already felt that the thing is attacking the root. Even human evil cannot do such a thing!
"No, we must cut off the connection between this world and other worlds!" The power of the second magic was unleashed under Xu Baiin Aug, but it was too late, or Xu Baiin Aug never had a chance.
When Baihen discovered the Type-Moon World, the present future had already been anchored. No matter how hard Shubaiin AOG tried, it was useless.
"Don't bother me. This whole situation makes me look like some boss who wants to destroy the world."
As Baihen finished speaking, Xubaiin Aug discovered that his second magic had been sealed and he could no longer interfere with the world. He himself was even trapped in this special world he had created.
"Please forgive my rudeness." Cold sweat continued to pour out from Xu Baining Aug's head. He didn't know how long it had been since he felt this kind of fear. Even the strongest enemy he had ever faced, Zhu Yue, seemed as small as smoke and dust at this moment.
Bai Hen ignored Xiu Baining Aogu. He attacked him only because he couldn't stand this pretentious old man so he gave him a warning. It was not even an appetizer.
Bai Hen had spent a year preparing for today, and it wasn't just for the purpose of descending into the Type-Moon world. After all, although the roots and world will of the Type-Moon world were indeed powerful, if Bai Hen just wanted to come in, he wouldn't have to spend so much effort.
In the Type-Moon world, there is a special job called Foreigner, which is used to refer to servants who come from outside the earth or other universes. Although they are also part of the Type-Moon world, the concept of Foreigner itself shows that the Type-Moon world will accept outsiders.
Even though Baihen, the outsider, looks a little bigger, darker, and has a bigger appetite, as long as Baihen doesn't cause any trouble, entering the Type-Moon Universe is easy, and there is no need to report.
But since Bai Hen has specially prepared for today for so long, how could he just come here as a guest?
The Type-Moon world, although its most fundamental foundation is the Root, all Type-Moon worlds are ultimately built on the Root, a concept that runs through all parallel worlds and universes.
But the vast majority of the worlds and entities within it cannot do without the ritual of the Holy Grail War.
In these worlds, whether it is the Holy Grail War that took place in the past, the Holy Grail War that will take place in the future, or the stories that were introduced by the Holy Grail War such as singularities or lossbelts, the Holy Grail ritual occupies an important position.
Bai Hen took advantage of the Holy Grail ceremony that was taking place in this world and added his own rituals into it, preparing to spread his influence to all worlds in the Type-Moon world that had anything to do with the Holy Grail, thus taking over the magpie's nest.
It's just that Genyuan was a bit too stingy. Although it was true that Baihen intended to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy most of the worlds in the Type-Moon world, and it was true that he intended to forcibly change the plan after entering without saying hello.
But taking a step back, even if Bai Hen was only one in ten thousand times wrong, was it necessary for Genyuan to resist him so much?
Besides, Bai Hen doesn't plan to do anything. He is too lazy to visit so many worlds one by one, let alone care about them. Even if the company belongs to Bai Hen, he is still in charge of the project!
We must stop that black curtain! ——Although 99% of the people didn't know what the black curtain in the sky represented, this thought arose in their minds at the same time.
"How can we stop them?" A wall of wind blocked Waver and Emiya Kiritsugu. Kagura's attitude was very clear - if they retreated, no one would get hurt.
As the two people who are closest (physically) to stopping the White Mark from coming, Emiya Kiritsugu and Waver not only received the urging from Alaya in their hearts, but Genyuan also directly told them the name of the thing that was about to come.
Malice towards the world and even towards the source - the world is evil!
If human evil is the test that humans must go through if they want to move forward, then in the judgment of the Source, if their existence is to continue, they must stop His coming!
Kiritsugu Emiya subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, but found that he had run out of cigarettes, so he had to give up.
What could they do? He and Weber were just crappy third-rate magicians. Even breaking through the wind wall in front of them was an extremely difficult task for them. Was it a task they could accomplish to stop the advent of something like world evil?
"Weber, do you have any magic that can help me get over it?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked Weber, looking at the ten-meter-high and unknown thickness wind wall in front of him.
