Chapter 181 A Reward Falls from the Sky While Sitting at Home
The next day.
Roy slowly woke up, only to find that the goddess Astraea, who had been beside him, was gone again. The lingering, alluring fragrance on the sheets proved that she had slept there.
Roy discovered that his serious injury had some advantages.
The clan's chief deity and members treated him like a national treasure, a giant panda, taking great care of him.
Sleeping with the goddess Astraea and occasionally teasing the two shy and timid girls, Daphne and Cassandra, he was so happy that he didn't want to leave.
As the saying goes, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune, and good news has also come from the world of Fate/Zero.
[The divine intervention has successfully killed Diarmuid. Congratulations on obtaining 300 attribute points, the Red Rose of Exorcism, and the Yellow Rose of Destruction!]
Name: Crimson Rose of Exorcism Rank: Epic Special Effect (Exorcism): A "Noble Phantasm Killer" spear that nullifies magic-based defenses and can only be defended against by physical means. Name: Yellow Rose of Inevitable Annihilation Rank: Epic Special Effect (Severe Wound): Damage from this short spear will cause irreparable injury.
Roy was overjoyed when he saw the reward panel that popped up; he was sitting at home and rewards were falling from the sky.
While he was sleeping with the goddess Astraea in his arms, Kiritsugu Emiya, that powerful tool, had already dealt with Kenneth and Diarmuid.
Using "divine intervention," Roy roughly understood what had happened. Just like in the original timeline, Kenneth, whose magic workshop had been destroyed, sought revenge and led Diarmuid to attack the Einzbern family's castle. Diarmuid was going to fight Artoria. The arrogant and conceited Kenneth wanted to have a fair magician's duel with Kiritsugu Emiya.
The result was as expected.
With his LV.4 ability value, Kiritsugu Emiya easily destroyed Kenneth's proud Mystic Code "Moon Spirit Fluid," completely dominating him.
Kiritsugu Emiya was extremely ruthless.
During the castle battle, he sent his assistant, Hisayu Maiya, to kill Kenneth's fiancée, Sora, directly leading to Diarmuid's defeat.
Kenneth, through his exceptional talent, modified the Holy Grail summoning system, allowing the magical power of the Servants in the present world to be transferred to his fiancée, Sora.
Both died at the same time.
Diarmuid was ultimately defeated.
Knowing that his immense power came from a demon god, Kiritsugu Emiya remembered the matter of offering a soul. From 800 meters away, he fired a rocket, sending his opponent on their final journey.
Roy was overjoyed with the reward he received. Unfortunately, "Divine Descent" could only select one target at a time and consumed too much mental energy. Otherwise, he would have liked to find hundreds of "tools" and the rewards he would have received could fill a warehouse.
Roy couldn't help but exclaim, "Well done!"
The voice in his mind echoed, and even Kiritsugu Emiya felt the joy of the "Demon God." It seemed that the soul of the Master or Servant did indeed play an important role in it.
Even now, the shock in his heart has not disappeared; the power the other party gave him was too strong.
It even allowed him to confront Servants head-on.
Across the table, Artoria and her wife Irisviel looked at him as if he were a monster; his divine performance was too dazzling.
Having handed over a group of Master and Servant souls, it's time to demand payment—the most important intelligence.
"Demon God, what is the Holy Grail War?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked the question that concerned him most.
The magician's desires!
A small ceremony in the Far East!
"source"!
The demon's words from yesterday lingered in Kiritsugu Emiya's mind, and with the demon's prophecies and intelligence coming true one after another, he had no choice but to believe them.
Roy wasn't surprised by Kiritsugu Emiya's question. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he coughed twice, preparing to lie and tell the truth!
Roy briefly recalled the background of the Holy Grail War, "Do you know about the Third Magic?"
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned.
How did we get onto the topic of the third magic? In the world of magic, almost everyone knows about magic.
In this world, the difference between magic and sorcery is that the former can be performed using technology or human power. For example, a magician can summon flames with magic, but an ordinary person can also create flames with a lighter and a flamethrower, so it cannot be called sorcery.
Magic refers to miracles that cannot be performed using technology or human power; there are currently only five major types of magic.
However, what exactly the five great magics are is not something Kiritsugu Emiya could know. According to the "Demon God," the Holy Grail War is related to the Third Magic.
Kiritsugu Emiya had a bad feeling and replied, "I know."
Roy continued, "That makes things easier. The Third Magic is the materialization of the soul, granting immortality and endless magical power. The Einzbern family, who have entrusted you with the Holy Grail War, had ancestors who were once disciples of the Third Magician."
Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils contracted. His background was so formidable.
As Roy recounted the events, Kiritsugu Emiya gradually learned the truth about the Holy Grail War, and a chilling cold spread through his body, causing him to shiver.
The Third Magic is undoubtedly a great miracle that can save all mankind. However, a long time ago, the Third Magician suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts became unknown. His disciples, who wanted to save all mankind, were disheartened and chose to leave. But the homunculi left behind by the disciples continued this cause, which is the Einzbern family.
It took the Homunculi nearly nine hundred years to create Justessa Risleich von Einzbern, a special Homunculus capable of wielding the Third Magic.
But as time goes by,
It was discovered that Justisa was a substandard product; she could use the third magic, but saving a single person would take years and consume a great deal of energy.
It cannot save all of humanity!
The key issue is that it's an accidental product, a lucky break, and it can't be improved or mass-produced.
So they had another idea.
By uniting the Tohsaka and Matou families, Justeza was dismantled and constructed into a magic circle. With the Tohsaka family providing the necessary assistance, this magic circle continuously absorbed the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City. This process lasted for sixty years. Once enough magical power was obtained, the seven heroes could be summoned from the Throne of Heroes within a limited time of one week.
Next, defeat the Servants and then use the Lesser Grail to collect their souls.
After accumulating a sufficient number of souls, they are released all at once, generating immense power enough to "pierce" the world. The end of this "hole" is the "root".
Reaching the "Root" and achieving the Third Magic will no longer be difficult.
However, since the three starter families didn't have enough people, they used deception to disguise the ritual as a Holy Grail War.
It attracted magicians from all walks of life to participate.
Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya's face turned extremely grim. This meant that even if he won the Holy Grail War, he still couldn't save all of humanity.
A scam! A despicable scam orchestrated by the three giants!
"You think this is the end?" Roy's lips curled into a malicious smile.
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes widened. Another expert?
Roy continued to expose the true nature of the three starter families: "In the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family's Servants were defeated early on. Those homunculi were very anxious. For over a hundred years, they gave up their precious Justessa, but gained nothing."
Then they unexpectedly discovered that the Holy Grail could summon not only the regular seven Servants—... but also the eighth class, Avenger.
So they summoned Avenger Angra Mainyu, a servant who was very weak, but whose soul was extremely special. After his defeat,
If his soul is absorbed into the Holy Grail, what do you think will happen?
Even Kiritsugu Emiya's usually calm face twitched uncontrollably. Just how huge a hole had the predecessors left behind?
"The Holy Grail has been corrupted by the soul of Angra Mainyu. All Servants have been defeated. As mentioned before, a hole in the Holy Grail has appeared, but black mud that pollutes the world will flow from that hole. No matter how you fight, or who the final victor is, the ultimate result will be a great catastrophe."
Roy didn't keep them in suspense for long; the complexity of the Holy Grail War made his tone slightly hesitant.
Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya's heart sank completely.
