"The King's Army..."
Qin Chuan murmured, then used his "King's Might" on the clock tower—sure enough, Qin Chuan immediately sensed a change in the area.
What was once an unfamiliar area suddenly became familiar to Qin Chuan, as if the clock tower had belonged to him from the very beginning.
The Magic Association has become part of Qin Chuan's "King's Army," and Qin Chuan now possesses an area in this world that can be used for teleportation.
"what?"
Just as Qin Chuan used "King's Army Force" to capture the Clock Tower, Weber was also stunned for a moment and involuntarily uttered a sound of doubt.
In that instant, he suddenly felt as if he and Qin Chuan had established some strange connection—but he couldn't quite put his finger on what that connection was.
If Qin Chuan knew how Webber felt, he would probably tell him that this was how he, as a member of the Mage's Association, felt bound by Qin Chuan's "King's Army".
Weber knew about Iskandar's "Army of Kings," and perhaps that's why he was able to vaguely sense something—but that was all he could sense.
……
"Well……"
Not long after, Barthezmello also woke up from his coma.
The moment she woke up, she remembered what had just happened. She quickly rolled over and jumped off the sofa, then looked at the other figure in the room with wary eyes.
Sure enough, Qin Chuan was still in the room, and quite rudely, he was sitting at his desk with the report about the Dead Apostles that his subordinate had just delivered in his hand.
"Oh? Are you awake?"
Qin Chuan also noticed Barthez's movements and looked at her—when he found that she still seemed wary of him, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Still wary of me? You should realize your own position by now."
"I……"
Barthezmero seemed to want to say something more, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to say them.
Indeed, although he was still stubborn until he fell into a coma, Basemelo was already very clear that he had no choice but to obey Qin Chuan.
She wasn't afraid of death. As a legitimate magician, she was actually quite indifferent to life, even her own.
However, she carries not only her own life on her shoulders, but also the future of her entire family—the Bartholomew family's magic circuits are still within her.
The other monarchs surrendered to Qin Chuan, probably not only out of fear for their own lives, but also because they were likely considering the survival of the magic family.
"...I understand, I will obey you."
Barthezmero remained silent for a long time before finally lowering his head.
Qin Chuan was very strong. No matter how hard Barthemello tried, he couldn't hurt him. Instead, he was simply and brutally suppressed by Qin Chuan, and even did something unspeakable.
It seems she has no other choice now.
Seeing Barthezmello lower his head, Qin Chuan also put down the information about the Dead Apostles in his hand—he wasn't interested in these things, he just flipped through them in his spare time.
However, Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised that Barthemello gave up so easily; he had thought Barthemello would continue to resist.
Qin Chuan had even planned to use Barthezello to further test the forced obedience of the "King's Army," but now that Barthezello had realized the situation, Qin Chuan abandoned the idea.
He beckoned to Barthemello, who seemed to realize what Qin Chuan wanted to do.
Although she hesitated for a moment, she lowered her head, walked up to Qin Chuan, and slowly bent down.
Although she had never done this before, after Qin Chuan's explanation, she roughly understood what she should do.
Seeing that Barthezmello had indeed given in, Qin Chuan nodded.
Now that the "King's Army" has established its stronghold in this world, all that remains is to finish up the Holy Grail War.
Chapter 620 Bazett's Worries
"Give me that book."
In the Clock Tower's library, Qin Chuan pointed to a book on a shelf and then casually spoke to a passing magician.
"Huh? Who are you? Why should I..." Qi Linba Wu Si Liu Ba Qi Qi Qin Er
The passing magician, of course, didn't recognize Qin Chuan. He frowned, somewhat puzzled, and was about to refuse when he felt his body seemingly move on its own.
Immediately afterward, he shut his mouth and obediently picked up the book Qin Chuan had pointed to—a book about spirit summoning rituals, containing records of the rituals of the Holy Grail War.
After handing the book to Qin Chuan, the magician didn't yell at him like he had at the beginning. Instead, he bowed to Qin Chuan and then left.
Throughout the process, the speed of his change in action and thought—from initial misunderstanding to respect for Qin Chuan—was abrupt and clearly not a normal process of ideological transformation.
"Anyone from the Mage's Association, even if they've never seen you before, has to obey your orders... That's quite an impressive ability." (9)
Weber stood beside Qin Chuan, watching helplessly as the magician, who didn't recognize Qin Chuan at all, completed his mission under Qin Chuan's orders and left alone, somewhat speechless.
Although Qin Chuan had taken control of all the monarchs of the Clock Tower, Waver was initially a little worried about whether the magicians would obey.
However, it seems there's no need to worry about that now—Qin Chuan used an ability unknown to him to completely transform the Mage's Association into his own territory, and no one within that territory can disobey Qin Chuan's orders.
Because, in terms of ability alone, Qin Chuan's "King's Army Might" and Iskandar's "King's Army Might" have undergone significant changes, Waver did not perceive that this was the ability of "King's Army Might."
"But if that's the case, wouldn't even that gem-bearer be..."
Waver then thought of the Gemstone Priest from the Type-Moon universe—Kishia Zelrich Schbein'ogu, the infamous Second Magician.
Since the Jewel Elder is also a member of the Magic Association, doesn't that mean that Qin Chuan can order the Jewel Elder to carry out his orders at will if he wants to?
"Perhaps, but what I control is only the 'Mage Association' of this world, while the Jewel King has joined many Mage Associations in parallel worlds."
Qin Chuan knew about the Gem Elder's situation, but since the Gem Elder was obviously not in this world now, Qin Chuan was too lazy to think of a way to test the Gem Elder's situation.
"Perhaps I have less control over him... but that doesn't matter anymore, my goal has been achieved."
Even if his control over the Jewel Elder might be relatively weak, it doesn't matter—the Jewel Elder has no way of freeing the people of the Mage Association from Qin Chuan's control.
The Magic Association of this world, along with its members, already belongs to Qin Chuan. This is an established fact that no one can change.
However, apart from the monarchs of the Mage's Association, most magicians are unaware that they now have a new master above them.
……
"This Holy Grail War is really peaceful, much more peaceful than I imagined."
On the outskirts of Fuyuki City, on the rooftop of the ghost mansion where Bazett lived, Cú Chulainn, summoned as Lancer, stood atop the building, gazing at Fuyuki City shrouded in night, and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, as Bazett requested, he frequently went to Fuyuki City to gather intelligence, and a few days ago he did occasionally encounter a few Heroic Spirits, who would leave after probing them.
Cú Chulainn was supposed to be in frequent contact with the Heroic Spirits and engage in battles over the next few days—which was exactly what the Holy Grail War was supposed to be about to happen.
But to his surprise, after the initial probing a few days ago, he seemed to have encountered no other heroic spirits. Those guys seemed to have vanished without a trace.
"What are you saying? Have you participated in many Holy Grail Wars?"
Behind Cú Chulainn, Bazette emerged from inside the house and came to the rooftop—she had obviously heard Cú Chulainn's complaints and asked him a question out of curiosity.
"Haha... The world is very big. You must have heard of the concept of parallel worlds, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cú Chulainn laughed and offered a casual explanation.
"As a Servant, I am merely a projection of myself on the Throne of Heroes—so in parallel worlds you may not know, I may have participated in many different Holy Grail Wars."
"I see, is that so..."
Bazett nodded in agreement, since the second magic was "Parallel World Interference," so Bazett certainly couldn't be unaware of the parallel world hypothesis.
· ······.···· ········
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Cú Chulainn noticed that Bazett's expression didn't seem to be very good, so he asked her a question out of concern—after all, Bazett was his Master, and if something happened to his Master, his power would also be affected.
"Hmm, I feel like something just happened. I had a strange feeling... but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Bazete nodded, his expression somewhat worried, puzzled by the strange feeling that had suddenly welled up inside him.
Of course, she didn't know that the Magic Association had just been swallowed up by Qin Chuan's "King's Army," and that Bazett, as a member of the Magic Association, had actually become Qin Chuan's man.
.... 0 ...
However, Bazett didn't want her strange feeling to interfere with the Holy Grail War, so she shook her head and drove it away.
"Speaking of which, Lancer, did you spot any other Servants today?"
"Yes, it's as if all the heroic spirits have died in just a few days."
Cú Chulainn grinned and said—little did he know that his joking remark had actually guessed the truth correctly.
"What a pity. I originally wanted to team up with the other Servants to take down that Berserker first... but now it seems a bit difficult."
The Berserker that Cú Chulainn mentioned was of course Qin Chuan—after Leni brought Qin Chuan to visit last time, Cú Chulainn and Bazette realized that they were no match for Qin Chuan.
Cú Chulainn was an extremely arrogant hero, but he wasn't stupid. Given such a huge difference in strength, he couldn't possibly say something like, "I can take down Qin Chuan all by myself."
Therefore, their idea was to join forces with other Servants... but unfortunately, they haven't been able to find any other Servants lately.
Just as the two were pondering their next move, a slight fluctuation of magical energy emanated from them.
Bazett's expression changed slightly. He suddenly stood up, looked at the courtyard entrance of the Ghost Mansion, and said to Cú Chulainn:
"Get up, Lancer... someone's coming." (A long pause.)
Chapter 621 Who told you you weren't a girl?
pat.
Cú Chulainn jumped from the rooftop into the yard, and then saw the figure walking into the yard.
"It's you... What are you doing here? Are you here to start a war?"
Upon seeing Qin Chuan enter the courtyard, Cú Chulainn narrowed his eyes, and his right hand, gripping the red spear, tightened involuntarily, clearly wary of Qin Chuan's visit.
After all, he knew very well that his strength was far inferior to Qin Chuan's. If a real battle broke out, he would be instantly killed by Qin Chuan, and probably wouldn't even have the chance to unleash his Noble Phantasm.
Despite such a huge disparity in strength, Cú Chulainn did not surrender directly, partly because of his pride—he could not bring himself to do something as humiliating as surrendering immediately upon meeting someone.
On the other hand, there was also a sliver of hope that other heroic spirits might also realize Qin Chuan's threat and join forces with him, which might give them a chance to resist Qin Chuan's power from "403".
"Calling it war isn't wrong... but to be more precise, I'm here to end the Holy Grail War."
Qin Chuan looked at Cú Chulainn jumping down from the roof and smiled – the Lesser Grail was now fully filled, and all that was needed was to eliminate one Servant and use its soul as the activation switch.
It's like a glass of water that's already full, but before it overflows, you need to add one last drop—that drop of water is Cú Chulainn's soul.
Of course, if Qin Chuan is willing, other heroic spirits can also be used as this drop of water to bring the Lesser Holy Grail to its formal descent.
But now, besides Qin Chuan, the only remaining Heroic Spirits are Shidone, Mordred, and Medusa.
Needless to say, Qin Chuan left Zhi Du in the real world. She was completely detached from the Holy Grail System, and Qin Chuan couldn't possibly bring her here now to use as a sacrifice.
Mordred was someone Qin Chuan had agreed upon beforehand. To prevent Mordred from causing trouble if they were to enter other Type-Moon parallel worlds in the future, Qin Chuan planned to keep Mordred by his side.
As for Medusa... that's purely out of personal consideration. In the original work, Medusa took good care of Matou Sakura, so Qin Chuan decided to keep her as well.
After all, Qin Chuan can't stay in this world forever, so leaving Medusa by Matou Sakura's side will prevent her from feeling too lonely.
Therefore, only Cú Chulainn can be considered as the offering for the formal descent of the Lesser Grail.
"Let me be blunt, Lancer. The Lesser Grail is only one step away from descending. Once you die, the Grail ritual will be complete, so don't expect any other Heroic Spirits to come and help you."
Qin Chuan didn't hide anything from Cú Chulainn, so that he could die knowing why.
"The Lesser Grail has now been taken to Ryudou-ji Temple by my people, which is one of the places where the Lesser Grail will descend."
"...I see. That explains why I haven't seen any other Heroic Spirits these past few days. Did you take them all down?"
Cú Chulainn's lips twitched. He never expected that his guess was actually true—the reason he hadn't seen any other Heroic Spirits these past few days was because Qin Chuan had dealt with them all.
Of course, Qin Chuan's "solution" might be a little different from what Cú Chulainn thought. For example, Shidone and Medusa were not killed by Qin Chuan and are still alive and well.
"Also, Bazett doesn't need to hide in the bushes nearby anymore; I can sense your presence."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan turned his head to look at a clump of grass in the courtyard—in Qin Chuan's perception, Bazett's "qi" was hidden in that clump of grass.
Qin Chu could roughly guess Bazett's thoughts. She probably wanted to coordinate with Lancer to use her Mystic Code "Reverse Light Sword" to counterattack Qin Chuan when he made his move.
Bazett's Mystic Code "Reverse Light Sword" is not simple; it can even distort cause and effect to achieve the effect of "striking first after being attacked later." Once activated, it will definitely hit the opponent before the opponent's attack.
In the original work of the Holy Grail War of the Night, Bazett even used this Noble Phantasm to kill Artoria, which can be said to be a very good record.
However, for Qin Chuan, even if the "Reverse Light Sword" could definitely hit him, it would be meaningless—after all, hitting and penetrating are two different things, and that thing could not break through his defense.
Moreover, Qin Chuan now has an even simpler way to prevent Bazett from launching a sneak attack.
