Chapter 134: The Decisive Battle Begins
My name is Elijah,
Today is probably the day of the fall.
14:50:33
What do you do when a group of believers are praying, half of them are healthy and want to stay healthy, and the other half are suffering from a disease, and they want to transfer the disease to those healthy believers?
"Transfer the disease to healthy believers and then heal."
If all the inhabitants of a city are infected with a plague that will turn into Dead Apostles due to a conspiracy, although you discovered this in advance, but the infection is too large to cure all of them, how do you act?
"Tell the whole city to isolate themselves, and when they break out, lead a team to eliminate the roaming Dead Apostles and heal the Dead Apostles who have locked themselves in their homes."
A country ......
The scenes around Yan Feng Qili kept changing as the voice spoke, and he quickly gave a solution to the problem after "it" asked a question each time, and after those scenes evolved on their own, he always succeeded in resolving the preset event.
This thing...... Qili frowned in the middle of the event, as if trying to get him to admit his desire for destruction and destruction?
But he clearly did not deny this, and only because the pain and misfortune of his own creation were meaningless, he allowed them to appear and treated and redeemed them afterwards.
Or does it want to deny its own healing and saving actions?
It's ridiculous, that kind of negative stuff is all over the world, and there's no hope and no future to speak of, that's what it wants to see?
Even if it wished to see all kinds of destruction and ruin, if there was no salvation and healing to drive out misfortune and disease, there would be no new ruin and despair, and it was clear that the logic of the thing itself had gone wrong.
After confirming that it was only a fool who was talking to him, he couldn't even figure out what he wanted, and wrapped himself around his wings, no longer answering any of its assumptions.
14:50:32
Snort -
In the complete darkness of the world, a crack suddenly opened that was full of light, and even though she wrapped herself with her wings, Qili still felt a burst of dazzling.
"Anyone?" Caster's voice rang out, and his tone was as relaxed as if he had strayed into a neighbor's garden, but it was black mud, or the inside of the Holy Grail.
Smack, snort, the gap grew wider, and it seemed as if Caster was expanding it.
If it wasn't too good, the little girl who called herself the Winter Maiden made a hole in the base of the pitch-black chalice? What a daredevil.
"No, it's too dark to see Qili and Shichen," Caster continued to muttered to himself, "They must be dug up as soon as possible, or they will never come out in a while." ”
Qili tried to move, but found that she seemed to be buried by something, and it was naturally a fantasy to be able to move freely in the illusion just now.
That kind of non-stop mental attack, even with his iron will, is a little unbearable, and I don't know what happened to Mr. Shi Chen, who was involved at the same time.
Snort, smack—Caster's movements sounded less like digging solids or draining liquids, more like tearing cloth.
"Found it!" She shouted in surprise, but in the next moment she became frightened: "Ah! I didn't mean to! Excuse me! ”
What is she doing...... Qili, who had just been "dug up", spread her wings and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw that Caster was surrounded by countless ghosts, seemingly crouching with his head in his hands in fear.
Those ghosts are - Alice Phil? No, no, if you're right, they're supposed to be the failed products of the Holy Grail made by the Einzbelen family over the years.
While a few full-bodied ghosts existed, many more were unrecognizable or missing most of their bodies, some with only one arm or palm, some even just a sarcast, but they all tried to touch Caster.
If Qili's perception of the deceased is not wrong, their emotions are - joy and honor?
"Don't get too excited, freak out the kids. An ethereal sound rang out, and the ghosts receded on either side as Moses parted from the Red Sea, revealing a lady full of grace and sensuality—though they were identical.
The heavenly gown of the same style as Caster fits incomparably on her body, and the golden crown, which is a little too large and ridiculous for Caster, exudes a noble atmosphere when worn on the top of her head, and the thick plush shawl and the gauze as light as smoke set off the lady more and more ethereal.
"[Illya, you're doing a great job]." The lady who would make everyone who saw her involuntarily think of the word "saint" spoke.
"I'm so sorry! Winter Maiden-" Caster still holding her head, "I shouldn't have used your name-"
I see, although Caster calls herself the Saintess of Winter, her words and deeds are completely incompatible, and sometimes Rin and Sakura have more temperament than her, and they are impersonated, Qi Li thought, but, Illya? Is that her real name?
"[Hehe, no need to apologize,]" the Genuine Winter Saintess walked over and touched Caster's head, and by the way, straightened her crown: "[Mothers are generally not angry when they see their daughters stealing their own cosmetics, but are relieved. 】”
The Winter Maiden spoke sharply, and Kiri saw Caster's devastated look.
"Well, I'm going to take Yanfeng Qili and Tosaka Shichen away, do you know where they are?" Caster regained his senses and asked the Winter Maiden.
"[When you said that your wish was to let no magician die in this war, we thought you couldn't do it,] " The Winter Saintess flicked her sleeves, and the barrier in front of Yan Feng Qili became a lot thinner: "[Now it seems that you have done a good job. 】”
Is that so? Then her strange behavior all along can be explained, let all the Heroic Spirits consume each other but not distinguish the winner, and finally decide the victory in the decisive battle and make the Holy Grail come down in one go, Qili thought as she looked at Caster who was walking towards him to dig him out.
"[We are leaving, after all, you are ready to destroy the Great Holy Grail and end the Holy Grail War]" With the words of the Winter Maiden, those ghosts were reluctantly piercing through the huge gap: "[You and Alice Phil's affairs, find a way to solve it yourself. 】”
"Ahhh I'm sure I'll be scolded! Caster was a little quicker to tear down the barrier.
Destroy the Great Holy Grail? Ending the Holy Grail War? Qili began to think quickly about how to do such a thing.
The faint sound of chains sounded, and Caster, who had just rescued himself and was busy digging Mr. Shichen, didn't notice it at all, only Qili, who had been watching the group of artificial ghosts of the Einsberen family, saw that the Winter Saintess had an extra chain in her hand, and she was tethered to a strange heroic spirit that was completely black and only showed two eyes.
Shh
Seeing that the Winter Maiden held up a finger at him, Qi Li nodded.
14:45:18
When Webber and Iskandar found Emiya Kiritsugu and his party, the two sides were still a little nervous and kept their distance, but after Caster brought two large ice cubes with one hand and Tosaka Tosaka Tokitomi in the other, the atmosphere became even more eerie, and the possibility of fighting at any time disappeared.
The Heroic Spirits who like to stir up trouble and have conflicts with each other are all defeated, leaving Rider who has no mount at all, Caster who turns into a Holy Grail from time to time, and Assassin who has a mind like a normal child.
"Illya, don't be reckless, give your soul back to your mother." Alice Phil held Caster in her arms, seemingly afraid that someone would come running over to make a wish while she was once again transformed into a Holy Grail.
Well...... Now everyone knows that her self-proclaimed Winter Saintess is bragging, Weber secretly slandered herself, and almost believed her when she saw her full aura.
"No, Mom, you're about to absorb 4 souls and you're going to show your original form, how can I absorb 6 souls and turn them back." Caster was busy pressing any of the six rubies on her body back when it glowed, or it would pop into a cup.
"What do you mean by the original form!" Alice Phil raised her hand and tapped her on the head.
"Six Souls......" Webb looked at the three Heroic Spirits present.
"But it takes seven to get to the root cause." When he was a teenager, he said as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"Hey, girl, didn't you promise to help me make my body? Then I can throw away this spiritual base. Iskandar said.
"No, you're a big man." Alice Phil looked at Rider's muscular frame with disgust.
"Hmm...... The female version of the Conquest King ......" Lin Hao, who was in a wheelchair, also interjected.
"Well, forget it." Rider shuddered.
"I said-" "You-" After the parties of the Holy Grail War gathered, Emiya Kiritsugu and Yanfeng Qili, who had been the farthest away from each other, spoke at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Qili gave in slightly and motioned for him to speak first.
Although there was a fight of life and death before, it was when there was no problem with the Holy Grail, and now this black thing will mislead others to blacken, no matter how you think about it, there is no value in fighting for it.
"Did you think about what to do with that Black Holy Grail when you were discussing wishes or anything?" Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette and gestured in the direction of Yanagito Temple.
It was no longer a dark and indiscernible grail, and in Webb's eyes, it was made up of countless black wreckage, in addition to the wreckage that was waving its arms even if it was fixed to the outer wall of the grail, there were also many freely moving wreckage climbing up from below, and from time to time there would be debris spewing out of the mouth of the cup.
"In my eyes, it's made up of various forms of flames, most of which come from my own personal experience, and I guess you're all the same," Kiritsugu said, "If you make a wish to my daughter now, you can only get the worst outcome, so it's better to discuss the wish after you settle it, otherwise she won't just fulfill someone else's wish." ”
He was very cheeky to call Caster his daughter, who had no idea about it half an hour ago.
"Give your soul over quickly, or Kiritsu will give you away." Alice Fell was there to tear down the stage.
"I said—" "Bang! Caster was distracted and turned into a cup.
"Do you want to be eligible to make a wish by how much effort you contribute in battle?" Yan Feng Qili answered coldly: "That thing is not easy to deal with, what if you miss and kill others in battle?" ”
The Holy Grail War reopened? Be the last to survive while guaranteeing the destruction of the Holy Grail?
"Well, then spend his wish quota to resurrect the slain." The golden chalice shook and turned back into Caster.
"Can you resurrect others?" "Wish for a place?" Yan Feng Qili and Emiya Kiritsugu spoke in unison again.
"The 'Cup of Heaven' realizes the third method of 'materialization of the soul', and when you hear this magic, isn't your first reaction to resurrecting people?" Caster tilted his head, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes: "As for the wish quota - because it is not an ordinary Holy Grail Vessel that becomes a Holy Grail, but a Heroic Spirit, all the surviving participants in the battle after the appearance of the Heavenly Cup are eligible to make a wish." ”
I see...... When most of them were relieved, Alice Fell suddenly hugged her hard.
"Illya! You've been planning this from the beginning, aren't you?! You already know that if you have only one wish, Kiritsugu will never let go of the other masters, right!? Webb couldn't see her face, but he could hear her anger just by the voice.
"Uh...... The ...... "Caster, no, Illya seemed to be caught off guard by her mother's sudden outburst, and had no idea how to react.
I won't let go of the other masters...... Webber looked around, and sure enough, he found Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant Maiya Kuyu in a location that was very suitable for concealment and sneak attacks, and he could cooperate with him to form a firepower network - if the conversation suddenly collapsed, and not surprisingly, Yan Feng Qili was outside the range of this firepower network.
"Six souls is enough to make a wish," Alice Phil said suddenly, quickly, "I make a wish to the Holy Grail: I will be the Vessel of the Holy Grail instead of Illya!" ”
"Wait?!" Illya's eyes widened, "I can refuse other people's ordinary wishes, but mother, if you make this wish as a fellow grail vessel—"
【【As you wish】】
Someone shuddered and feared just by hearing the voice, as if it were coming from outside the world, and at the same time, the Great Holy Grail began to spew black mud into the sky like a volcano.
