In Fuyuki City, on the peaceful Fuyuki Bridge, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Hmm, where...am I?"
Mo Li rubbed her eyes, and the discomfort caused by the bright light gradually subsided.
The people around seemed somewhat flustered by the sudden appearance of this person, pointing and whispering about Mo Li.
Some were bold enough to even take photos with their phones.
Mo Li looked down and realized he couldn't blame them. With their otherworldly armor and Mo Li's good looks, anyone who didn't know better would think it was cosplay.
However, these are not what Mo Li is most concerned about right now. He wants to know what kind of world this is.
If I end up in an ordinary Muggle world, wouldn't my plan to find a family member be completely ruined?
"Excuse me, where is this place...?"
"Oh, is this some high school club activity? That armor is so cool!"
"I don't think so. Is there a camera filming a movie nearby?"
Faced with the doubts of those around him, Mo Li frowned. Since he couldn't get any information from them, he would have to find it himself.
Moreover, Mo Li was not used to being watched by so many people, so he took a leap and jumped off the bridge.
This shocked the onlookers. They thought it didn't have to be so realistic. They quickly ran to the railing and looked down at the bridge, afraid of seeing something bloody.
Unfortunately, they saw nothing; Mo Li simply vanished from everyone's sight.
With his mixed-race bloodline and the strength of a demon king, he naturally wouldn't be killed by such a fall.
Mo Li jumped onto a truck and arrived at a pedestrian street. The first thing she had to do was change out of her clothes.
Although this armor is very useful in battle, we are now in another world, so it's best not to attract attention.
After buying a casual outfit with the money he had borrowed, Mo Li put the armor into his system space.
Through conversations with the shopkeeper, Mo Li learned that this place was Fuyuki City.
Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. Fuyuki City, the site of the Holy Grail War, the Toukawa Bridge, huh.
No wonder I sensed scattered spiritual energy underground; there are spiritual veins beneath Fuyuki City.
Upon learning this news, Mo Li was overjoyed. The existence of a Servant was an excellent choice for a familiar.
It's unclear which Holy Grail War this is; Mo Li still needs a lot of information.
Having made up her mind, Mo Li asked the shopkeeper for directions to the Tohsaka family's residence before leaving.
If you want to know which Holy Grail War it is, just look at Rin Tohsaka, and everything will become clear.
The Tohsaka Residence is located at the highest point of Fukayama-cho, on the west side of Fuyuki City. It is a two-story villa with a courtyard, a place where magic gathers, in the old town residential area.
Following the direction of the spiritual vein, Mo Li quickly found the location of the Tohsaka family.
However, it wasn't as luxurious as she had imagined; instead, it gave Mo Li a simple and unpretentious feeling.
"Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!"
Mo Li rang the doorbell, and a youthful voice came from inside.
"This is the Tohsaka family. May I ask who you are looking for?"
Mo Li had already prepared his words. After clearing his throat, he put on a gentlemanly demeanor and said:
"I am a friend of Tokiomi. I was passing through Fuyuki and came to pay my respects!"
"Ah, it's a friend of my father's. Please wait a moment."
The doorbell was quickly hung up. Just as Mo Li was wondering what was going on, a series of panicked footsteps came from inside the room, and a girl with black hair and blue eyes appeared in front of Mo Li.
"Hello, I am the head of the Tohsaka family, my father... wait, wait a minute..."
Just as Rin Tohsaka was introducing herself, she suddenly realized that the person in front of her wasn't much older than herself.
Rin Tohsaka immediately became suspicious; no wonder she was Tokiomi Tohsaka's daughter.
"Do you really know my father? How old were you when he was alive?"
"Of course, we felt like we'd known each other forever back at the Clock Tower. You must be Rin. Tokiomi has told me a lot about you."
"Really? But my father has already passed away!"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Mo Li's eyes. Tohsaka Tokiomi had already been killed, which meant that this was very likely the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
Having obtained the information he wanted, Mo Li didn't plan to linger; getting involved as soon as possible was the most important thing.
"That's such a pity, Miss Rin. Please accept my condolences!"
"No, I'm fine. Are you a magician too?"
"Me? Not yet. You can call me Mo Li."
"Mo Li, do you know anything about my father...?"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Rin, I have something to attend to, so I'll have to go now. Let's talk again next time!"
Mo Li has already obtained the information he wanted, and there is no reason for him to waste any more time here.
Mo Li, who only had three slots for familiars, was not willing to waste one of them on Rin Tohsaka. Rin's strength was still a bit lacking for him.
"Oh, I see. Mr. Mo Li, how long will you be staying in Dongmu?"
"I'll be staying for a while. I'm quite interested in this Holy Grail War!"
The mention of the Holy Grail War immediately made Rin Tohsaka tense up, since she was certain to participate.
Rin Tohsaka lowered her head, about to say something more, when she realized that Mo Li had already disappeared.
"What kind of magician is that? Asking questions and then leaving? Not gentlemanly at all!"
Furious, Rin Tohsaka kicked her own door and stormed back home.
Having already gone some distance, Mo Li arrived at an uninhabited wooden house. Although it was rather dilapidated, it was still a branch of a spiritual vein.
But soon, Mo Li discovered a problem: he could not summon Servants using magic circles.
This is a bit tricky. Even if Mo Li could seize the Master status from someone else, he wouldn't summon a Servant.
"Hey, system, do you have a summoning circle for Servants?"
"Host can exchange for 100 Demon King Points!"
Mo Li curled his lip. What a shrewd businessman. If he had Demon King Points, he wouldn't have asked the system if he could do it.
But it's not realistic to go back and ask Rin Tohsaka now, since I just ran away like that.
Suddenly, Mo Li had a flash of inspiration: there should be a magic array in one of those places.
Now even the Servant might be dealt with, Shirou Emiya. It seems our compatibility isn't going to be too good.
If Mo Li really had to choose, her first choice would definitely be Hassan of the Assassin class, who not only has the amazing skill Presence Concealment, but also has the ability to grant a high probability of instant death.
Dealing with the hero was a piece of cake; with the protection provided by Nitta Teihei and the others, they were no match for Hassan the Cursed Arm's assassination attempt.
Unfortunately, the Assassin in the Fifth Holy Grail War was Kojiro, the old gatekeeper.
Moreover, they couldn't steal the Servants from the three Fuyuki families, and the Caster and Rider were homeless, with Kirei Kotomine, the sixth member, secretly in charge.
After much thought, Emiya Shirou seems to be the quickest and most convenient option. At worst, I can find a way to turn Saber into Black Saber; their compatibility shouldn't be too bad.
Mo Li was thinking this way, unaware that everything he was thinking was wrong. The information he got from Rin Tohsaka was flawed from the very beginning.
And this is not the fifth Holy Grail War.
Chapter 5: Partners of Justice? Indeed, incompatible.
As night deepened, Mo Li prepared to head to the Emiya residence.
Although it is also located in the northern residential area of Fukayama-cho, Fuyuki City, it is still a bit troublesome to find.
Fortunately, Mo Li was still quite sharp-witted and knew that the Emiya family had very close ties with Fujimura Taiga, whose yakuza group, the Fujimura Group, was very famous here.
By simply asking a passerby, Mo Li obtained the exact location of the Fujimura Group's residence.
Mo Li arrived at a courtyard and, after confirming that it was indeed the Emiya family's residence, used her superior physical abilities to scale the wall.
Walking in the courtyard, Mo Li looked at the location of the Emiya family's warehouse. This should be the warehouse where Kiritsugu Emiya maintained Irisviel's physical functions back then.
The magic array inside is Mo Li's target for today; next, it's time to seize the Master's qualification.
The Holy Grail War has not yet begun, and the seven Masters have not yet arrived.
As an outsider, Mo Li was not recognized by Alaya and therefore did not have the qualifications to become a Master.
But who is Mo Li? He's a Demon King. Even if his current level is relatively low, as a Demon King, he can simply take what he doesn't have. Why does he need the approval of others?
To obtain Master status, one must first acquire Command Seals, and going to the Church of Christ is the most effective way to do so.
If it were the fourth World War, Mo Li would have taken it without hesitation, but unfortunately the current supervisor is Kirei Kotomine, who is accompanied by Gilgamesh.
Given Mo Li's current strength, whether he can escape or not is another matter.
Looking at the lights on in the living room, Mo Li strode forward. At this moment, only Emiya Shirou should be home.
Hearing footsteps coming from the corridor, Shirou Emiya thought it was Taiga Fujimura and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Sister Teng, why are you still out so late...?"
Emiya Shirou arrived at the door, only to find that the person who entered was not Fujimura Taiga, but a complete stranger.
For some reason, Shirou Emiya felt a sense of disgust whenever he saw Mo Li.
Of course, how could someone who aspires to be a "partner of justice" possibly have any goodwill towards Mo Li, who is a demon king? It's an innate sense of antagonism.
"Arno, may I ask who you are?"
"Let me introduce myself, Mo Li, I'm here to take your life!"
Mo Li smiled and said, his golden eyes lighting up, and rage appeared in his hand. A 1.5-meter-long blade plunged straight into Emiya Shirou's heart, determined to kill him with one blow.
When Shirou Emiya saw Moli attacking, he quickly dodged, but was still pierced through the left arm by the raging attack.
"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much! Damn it, who are you?"
"I told you, I'm the one who will take your life."
"But I've never seen you before, why?"
Emiya Shirou covered the wound with his hand, but blood continued to flow from it, and the pain made Emiya somewhat numb.
Upon hearing Emiya's question, Mo Li smiled and explained:
"Ah, there's an old saying in my hometown: 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!'"
"I don't know what you mean. If you have your eye on any valuables, please feel free to do so."
At the critical moment, Shirou Emiya chose to back down, but he didn't know that what Mo Li wanted was inside him.
"Since you've put it that way, then I'll have no choice but to be impolite!"
Mo Li gripped the raging fury with both hands and slashed forward vertically, as if he were about to cut Emiya in two.
Emiya Shirou hastily used his half-baked projection magic, but the projected dagger was no match for Mo Li's attack and vanished on the spot.
"He actually dodged it? As expected of a talent trained by Kiritsugu!"
Do you know...my father?
"Well, I do know him, but he doesn't know me. Anyway, you so-called partners of justice probably all look the same to me."
Mo Li, unwilling to waste any more words, attacked again. This time, in a fit of rage, he accurately pierced Emiya Shirou's heart, and blood flowed out continuously.
Emiya Shirou felt his vision blur and no longer felt any pain throughout his body.
"I haven't fulfilled my dream yet, why?"
Before Shirou Emiya could finish speaking, Mo Li carried him toward the inner courtyard's storeroom.
In just a few steps, Shirou Emiya had already stopped breathing, but Mo Li knew that this guy had Avalon inside him and wouldn't die so easily.
This is also why Mo Li killed him; ultimately, it was to activate Avalon and summon a Servant.
Logically speaking, Mo Li's summoning was against the rules, but Saber's was within the rules.
Mo Li is gambling, and at the same time, he is bypassing Alaya to make direct contact with the Holy Grail. Now that the Holy Grail has detected that Shirou Emiya is dead, the only one who can become his Master is Mo Li.
Kicking open the warehouse door, Mo Li found a magic circle that had long lost its luster and threw Emiya Shirou to the ground.
