However, in this mission world, Irisviel has already become the Holy Grail. If he chooses the last reward, will the system recreate Irisviel?
Or will he take the Holy Grail back with him?
The three rewards were actually of little use to Qin Chuan, at least not as useful as the "arrows" in the JOJO world.
In comparison, only the third option seems somewhat interesting. At least bringing back a living person or the Holy Grail is more useful than insects and Command Seals, right?
Chapter 161 The Holy Grail and the Black Mud
The Irisviel in the mission world is somewhat different from the Irisviel in the works Qin Chuan remembered.
The biggest difference is probably that she and Kiritsugu Emiya are not husband and wife. Even Illya was created using homunculus technology, rather than being born from the womb as in the original work.
These were things Irisviel mentioned to Rin Tohsaka before she completely lost her life, and Rin Tohsaka also told Qin Chuan about them.
This is why Qin Chuan understood why Emiya Kiritsugu ordered Artoria to attack without any mercy when facing Irisviel.
After all, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel's relationship was not as close as it was in the original work, so Irisviel quickly became disappointed in Kiritsugu Emiya because of this.
Qin Chuan also expressed his helplessness regarding Irisviel's death—he had no knowledge of artificial human technology and was completely ignorant of the structure of the Holy Grail War, so naturally he could not change the fate of the Lesser Grail.
However, now that there are system rewards, Qin Chuan might actually have a chance to bring Irisviel back to his own world.
Although Irisviel's body is mature, her mind is too naive. Perhaps living in the everyday world is more suitable for her than in the Type-Moon world.
After selecting Irisviel from the mission rewards, Qin Chuan looked at the Holy Grail in his hand, placed it on the ground, and summoned the "Blackbird".
"Berserker? What's going on? Aren't you going to make a wish?"
Seeing Qin Chuan's serious demeanor towards the Holy Grail, Rin Tohsaka curiously leaned closer and asked.
After all, the Heroic Spirits respond to the summons because they have their own wishes, so Rin Tohsaka naturally assumed that Qin Chuan also wanted to make a wish with the Holy Grail.
"Me? Forget about it, this thing's wish-granting function is faulty."
Qin Chuan shook his head, then looked at Rin Tohsaka.
"But you, don't you want to use the Holy Grail to make a wish?"
"Hmm... but I can't think of any wish to make right now. Although I know that the Holy Grail is the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish, I'm not quite sure what we want to do with it."
Rin Tohsaka frowned in slight distress—at this point, she was still just a child, her knowledge of magic was insufficient, and she only had a superficial understanding of the Holy Grail War.
If it were Rin Tohsaka during the Fifth Holy Grail War, after thoroughly studying magic, she would probably understand that the essence of the Holy Grail War was the exploration of the Third Law.
But she is completely unaware of this right now, simply regarding the Holy Grail as some kind of all-powerful wish-granting machine, and her wish...
"If I wished to resurrect my father, do you think the Holy Grail could help me do it?"
Rin Tohsaka looked at Qin Chuan. If she had to say what she was still upset about, it would probably be her unjustly killed Tokiomi Tohsaka.
However, upon hearing this, Qin Chuan revealed a strange smile:
“It’s possible, but I think you definitely don’t want Tokiomi Tohsaka to be resurrected through the Holy Grail.”
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Rin Tohsaka was stunned, not understanding the meaning behind Qin Chuan's words.
But soon, the Holy Grail placed in front of Qin Chuan underwent a strange change—a large amount of filthy black mud suddenly gushed out from the originally empty Holy Grail.
The black mud gushed out continuously, radiating a scorching malice. It startled Rin Tohsaka, who was standing close to Qin Chuan, causing her to instinctively back away and even slip and fall to the ground.
"What...what's going on!?"
Waver, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was also startled by the sudden outburst of the Holy Grail. The black mud gushing out of the Holy Grail made Waver instinctively feel uncomfortable.
As a magician, he could sense the magic power emanating from the Holy Grail—but this magic power was undoubtedly not something to be touched casually.
"This thing is the evil of this world. It was originally colorless magical energy accumulated in the Holy Grail, but it was mutated due to the Einzbern family's illegal actions during the Third Holy Grail War."
Qin Chuan squinted at the black mud seeping from the Holy Grail and said to Rin Tohsaka and Waver.
"If you make a wish to it, it will probably still grant your wish, but the result will be very different from what you expect... For example, Rin, you want to resurrect your father, but what you might end up resurrecting is a mindless monster."
"How...how could this be? The Holy Grail that so many people sought was actually something like this?"
Rin Tohsaka's face was pale. Even though she was young, she could feel the malice emanating from the black mud. Just looking at it filled her with fear.
"This is the worst consequence of human desires."
Qin Chuan sneered. If it weren't for the Einzbern family's illegal summoning of Heroic Spirits during the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
"Alright, Rin, Waver, you can go back now. I'll take care of things here."
The black mud gushing from the Holy Grail poses a huge threat to ordinary people, but it is also the last thing Qin Chuan is prepared to deal with in this mission world.
These things are disgusting, but to put it bluntly, they are high-intensity magical crystals—Qin Chuan plans to have "Blackbird" eat them all to see if it can gain anything.
Upon hearing this, Weber nodded quickly.
He knew that he couldn't handle the black mud, and leaving it there would only cause more trouble.
However, after he turned around and took a few steps, he noticed that Rin Tohsaka didn't seem to have left, but was standing still. He quickly turned back to look.
Rin Tohsaka didn't leave immediately, but stood behind Qin Chuan and watched him:
"So... Berserker, you're leaving too, is that right?"
"After all, I am a Heroic Spirit, and I will disappear after the Holy Grail War ends."
Qin Chuan turned around and looked at Rin Tohsaka. She had her head down and looked very unhappy.
"As your Master, didn't you already know about this?"
"but……"
Rin Tohsaka felt a tightness in her chest—Tokiomi Tohsaka was dead, and Qin Chuan had finally brought her and her daughter some sense of security, but now Qin Chuan was leaving again.
The feeling of security disappearing made Rin Tohsaka feel suffocated.
"I've already spoken to Rufreus of the Mage's Association about the Tohsaka family. That guy is one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower. With his support, the Tohsaka family doesn't need to worry about declining."
Qin Chuan assumed that Rin Tohsaka was worried about the future of the Tohsaka family, so he spoke up as well.
Under Qin Chuan's threat, Rufreus naturally promised to help the Tohsaka family—even without Tokiomi Tohsaka, Rufreus could ensure that the Tohsaka family would not decline.
At least the energy expenditure for Rin Tohsaka during her learning of Jewel Magic shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Chapter 162 The "Magic" of the Dragon Ball World!
Rin Tohsaka returned home, and when she entered the living room, she found that her mother, Aoi Tohsaka, was already waiting for her.
"cold……"
"Mother……"
Rin Tohsaka walked up to Aoi Tohsaka and was gently hugged by her.
Has Mr. Qin Chuan already left?
"Um……"
Rin Tohsaka's voice was clearly sullen. Logically speaking, Qin Chuan was just a Heroic Spirit she had spent three days with, so she shouldn't be so reluctant to part with him.
But now she realizes that the sense of security Qin Chuan brings makes her reluctant to part with him. Even though it's only been a few days, she feels like she's lost something after leaving him.
In fact, isn't Tohsaka Aoi the same way? Compared to Tohsaka Tokiomi, Qin Chuan actually gives her a greater sense of security.
However, during her conversation with Qin Chuan, Aoi Tohsaka already knew that Qin Chuan, as a Heroic Spirit, would leave after the Holy Grail War, so although she was disappointed, she had already prepared herself mentally.
Although disappointed, Rin Tohsaka quickly made a decision:
"Mom, I want to go to the Clock Tower to learn magic!"
Although the Tohsaka family's jewel magic is also important, Rin Tohsaka wants to participate in the next Holy Grail War.
Although according to the normal Holy Grail War process, the next Holy Grail War will not begin for a long time, Rin Tohsaka still wants to see Qin Chuan again.
"Is that so... then let's go, Rin."
Aoi Tohsaka stroked Rin Tohsaka's head, supporting her—she probably understood Rin's thoughts and naturally wouldn't object.
With Qin Chuan paving the way for the Tohsaka family at the Clock Tower, it wouldn't be difficult for Rin Tohsaka to go there to study magic.
However, neither of them probably knew that Matou Sakura was already studying at the Clock Tower at this time.
If Rin Tohsaka were to go to the Clock Tower... I'm afraid there would be a lot of fun inside.
Unfortunately, Qin Chuan will not be seen anytime soon.
……
Inside the Fuyuki Civic Center, Qin Chuan was still using the "Black Bird" to continuously devour the black mud gushing from the Holy Grail.
The black mud in the Holy Grail was transformed from the accumulated magic power of the Holy Grail, so the amount was quite large and satisfying. Qin Chuan absorbed it for quite a while, but still couldn't absorb it all.
The eight hours of today's mission world are almost up. If Qin Chuan continues to absorb the black mud here, even if he manages to devour it in the end, he won't gain any significant strength improvement.
"That's about enough."
Qin Chuan had "Blackbird" put down the Holy Grail, and then mercilessly wiped it away with the sub-vapor miasma.
Having absorbed enough black mud, even if the Holy Grail, which serves as the "key," is destroyed, the black mud will no longer overflow from the "hole" in the sky as it did in the original work.
However, Qin Chuan absorbed so much black mud not simply to prevent Fuyuki City from suffering a disaster, but more importantly, he discovered that the black mud reacted with his combat power during the process of the "Black Bird" devouring the black mud.
That's right, this black mud is essentially the magic power accumulated by the Holy Grail. After entering Qin Chuan's body, this magic power combined with Qin Chuan's "qi" and produced unexpected changes.
The "magic" that originally belonged to the Type-Moon world has now become the "magic" that belongs to the Dragon Ball world!
In the Dragon Ball world, magic also exists—the most famous example being Babidi, the magician who controlled Buu.
In the Dragon Ball world, magic, like superpowers, can create all sorts of unique abilities, serving as another way to enhance one's fighting power.
Despite his weak fighting ability, Babidi was able to create a powerful protective shield through magic, even managing to survive when Vegeta, in Super Saiyan 2, self-destructed, leaving half of his body intact.
That was a full-power self-destruction from Super Saiyan 2, demonstrating Babidi's magical abilities.
In addition to Babidi, there is another guy in the Dragon Ball Super manga who uses magic in actual combat—Moro.
That guy can manipulate the energy inside a planet through magic, and by releasing that energy, he can use it to directly attack enemies.
The energy released from any planet would be enough to overwhelm Goku and Vegeta, who had already transformed into Super Saiyan Blue.
He can even devour the energy of those planets to gain terrifying combat power—all of which he achieves through his magical abilities.
After the Grand Supreme Kai sealed Moro's demonic power, Moro was essentially rendered useless.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Chuan continuously absorbed the black mud, transforming its magical power into a different kind of magic through his own body.
However, time is always limited. As the 8-hour tour came to an end, Qin Chuan soon realized that even if he continued to absorb the black mud, it would be of no use.
"What a pity... I only tried absorbing this black mud on a whim, but I didn't expect it to have such an unexpected effect."
Qin Chuan frowned, somewhat regretful.
"If I had known it would have this effect, I should have ended the Holy Grail War one more day later, leaving enough time to devour all the black mud."
Although he had already devoured a considerable amount of black mud, Qin Chuan could sense that there was still a significant amount of black mud stored in the Greater Grail.
"I wonder what level of magic this is... Perhaps I should ask the King of the Realms."
Qin Chuan clenched his fist and could feel that in addition to the terrifying "qi" in his body, there was another kind of power - "magic".
Unfortunately, very few people in the Dragon Ball series fight using magic, so Qin Chuan had no way of knowing how much "magic" he had in his body.
More importantly... compared to using "qi" to fight, the skills of using "magic" are much harder to learn.
The two characters Qin Chuan knows who are particularly skilled in using magic—Babidi and Moro—are both out-and-out villains, and dealing with them will be difficult.
But...it's not that there is no solution at all.
Babidi himself was very weak, and Qin Chuan could easily threaten him with force—the only problem was that Babidi had the Demon King Dabra, whom he controlled mentally, by his side.
In the original work, Goku described Dabra's strength as "about the same as a guy named Cell from before."
There was a debate before the time travel regarding whether Dabra's strength was comparable to Perfect Cell or the resurrected and further enhanced Lightning Cell.
But no matter which Cell it's compared to, none of them are ones that Qin Chuan can handle in his current state.
In other words, as long as he can avoid Dabra, Qin Chuan can easily interrogate Babidi about his magical training methods.
Moro, though also a formidable opponent, has lost all his magic and is imprisoned in the Galactic Patrol's jail.
