Chapter 245: An Attempt to Control the Holy Grail

Fuyuki City Central Park is located in the center of the residential area east of the Mion River, the great river that runs through Fuyuki City. This is the citizen district of Fuyuki City, and many facilities are built here.

Fuyuki Station is right here, and the port terminal is also here, close to the sea. Because there are more plains here, it can be said to be the real urban area of ​​Fuyuki City, and the population is very dense.

"Mikayama Town" west of the Miyuan River is built against the mountain and has many slopes, so it is naturally not suitable for large-scale construction.

And these past few days, this part of the city has really suffered, because the Kotomine Church is right here, located on the hillside in the southeast.

Of course, there is no hillside now, only a big pit, and the surrounding area has been completely blocked.

Thanks to the fact that the church's separate enclosure occupied a considerable area, the battle between Ke Ling and Jin Shanshan did not cause many casualties.

And now, Kiritsugu Emiya brought Irisviel to Central Park, preparing to complete the final summoning ceremony here.

The poor residential area had just escaped one disaster, but then another one struck, as if it had to be destroyed.

Kiritsugu Emiya himself did not think this was that dangerous. After all, the "Holy Grail War" had been fought three times, and no exaggerated accidents had occurred in the first three times. He had no worries about this at all.

There are four places in Fuyuki City that meet the summoning conditions, namely Enzoyama Ryudo Temple, Tousaka Residence, Fuyuki Church, and Fuyuki Central Park.

The first summoning was carried out at Ryudo Temple in Enzo Mountain, and the entire Holy Grail system was also installed there. The second time was at the Tousaka Mansion, and the third time was at the Cathedral Church. This time it could only be in Central Park, which was the last choice.

Because Central Park is the most difficult place to hide among these four places. Even at night, there are still some people staying in Central Park, and some people are sleeping on the lounge chairs in the park.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya simply ignored them and entered the Fuyuki Citizens' Hall without hesitation. This was the place where the Holy Grail descended.

At this time, some strange phenomena have gradually appeared in Fuyuki Central Park. In fact, after the five Heroic Servants left, the Small Holy Grail had already begun to connect to the Holy Grail system buried underground. When the sixth servant left, the magic power had begun to overflow and began to create obvious strange phenomena at the landing point.

"Ellie."

Inside the Fuyuki Civic Hall, looking at the lifeless Irisviel in his arms, Emiya Kiritsugu had pain on his face. In addition to pain, there was relief and worry. Relief was because he had finally reached this point after going through so much hardship, and worry was because he was afraid that everything would really be like what Ke Ling said.

“Let me see for myself”

Although he had mixed feelings, Emiya Kiritsugu still stubbornly made the final decision. He had to see the result with his own eyes.

He placed Irisviel's body on the altar. Under his gaze, the body of the artificial man revealed its original form, which was a golden cup, an extremely dazzling golden cup.

Outside the Fuyuki Civic Hall, in Central Park, Ke Ling, Matou Kariya, and Saber looked up and they all saw the strange black hole.

At this time, the souls of the six dead servants in the Holy Grail have begun to return, the passage to the "Throne of Heroes" has been opened, and the magic power accumulated over the past sixty years has begun to be mobilized in large quantities, trying desperately to fix the passage.

According to the original idea, as long as this passage that penetrates the world is fixed, one can take advantage of the heroic spirits to reach the source directly.

"So, as long as we enter this hole, we can reach the source?"

Matou Kirei stared blankly at the "hole" in the sky and asked Ke Ling. This hole was quite scary. It really looked like a hole in the sky. It was pitch black inside and no one knew where it led to.

"How should I know? I'm not a magician."

Ke Ling rolled his eyes. Of course, he knew that this hole was not the one that could lead to the "root". The real passage had not yet appeared, or ordinary people could not see it.

This hole only leads to the Holy Grail, and in the Holy Grail, the first person you have to face is the unfortunate child "Angora Mainyu".

In order to win the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzberns illegally summoned the eighth-class "Avenger" Heroic Spirit Angra Mainyu, but this action instead caused the Einzberns to lose more than they gained.

This Angora Mainuel is pitifully weak, bearing the reputation of "all the evil in the world", but he is a true worthless fighter.

Angra Mainyu is the dark god in ancient Persian mythology. In Zoroastrianism, he is considered the "chief of evil gods". They believe that all the evil deeds in the human world are done by Angra Mainyu. Logically, this thing should not be able to be summoned, after all, it is a real god.

Putting aside the question of whether the Holy Grail can summon gods, and whether gods will deify themselves and become servants, let's just say that now that the Age of Gods has completely faded, the gods have lost their substance and dissolved into nature, making it impossible to summon them.

Ke Ling didn't know what the Einzbern family was thinking, but the "Angora Mainyu" they summoned was indeed not a god. He was just an ordinary young man who was used as a sacrifice, had "all the evil in this world" imposed on him, and was tortured to death.

Although this young man has become an "anti-hero" and "devil" who attacks humans due to the combination of "hatred" and legend, his own strength is still the strength of an ordinary young man, which is useless in a superhuman battlefield such as the Holy Grail War.

Its only use is that after being absorbed by the Holy Grail, it completely polluted the entire Holy Grail system, causing the system to deteriorate.

"Let me meet you."

Ke Ling's face gradually showed excitement. He transformed into a demon and rushed into the black hole and the Holy Grail filled with magic power. Of course, all the magic power had been contaminated at this time and turned into black mud filled with an ominous aura.

Ke Ling was not worried about being swallowed at all. This "Angora Mainu" could not even digest Jin Shanshan. Even if he was given a few hundred more years, he would not be able to shake the system.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling's body rushed into the black mud, and into the "Great Holy Grail" that had not yet fully manifested. The black mud immediately swept towards him, intending to contaminate him and control him, but it did not have any effect. Not even a little illusion formed in Ke Ling's mind, and it was directly blocked by the system.

Ke Ling's entry immediately attracted the attention of "Angora Mainyu", but it was constantly tempting Kiritsugu Emiya at the time and had no time to pay attention to this reckless intruder.

In Ke Ling's eyes, the place was full of black mud, and Emiya Kiritsugu was standing in the middle of it, talking to "Angora Mainyu" with the face of Irisviel, with a crazy expression on his face.

"What kind of creation do you think the Holy Grail is? Of course it is something that can only grant wishes in a way you know."

"Angora Mainyu" ruthlessly shattered all of Kiritsugu Emiya's hopes. The "Will of the Holy Grail" with the face of Irisviel gave the same statement as Ke Ling.

"See, I told you it would be like this." Ke Ling shook his head and came to the collapsed Emiya Kiritsugu, but in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, he was in various illusions constructed by magic and did not hear what Ke Ling said.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, Kiritsugu Emiya rejected the Holy Grail and "Angora Mainyu". This Holy Grail could not fulfill his wish.

"puff!"

Kiritsugu Emiya was directly spit out because he did not make a wish and it had lost its meaning to "Angora Mainyu".

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

In the Greater Holy Grail, that "Angora Mainyu" was roaring madly, using the voice and image of Irisviel.

This "Angora Mainyu" calls itself the "Will of the Holy Grail", but in fact it is just a lonely soul trapped in it, and it is even a lonely soul that cannot even have a personality on its own. It must rely on Irisviel's personality to manifest.

This "Will of the Holy Grail" cannot do anything at all. Unless Kiritsugu Emiya makes a wish, it cannot control all the black mud and cannot truly release the magic power in the Holy Grail.

If it could control itself, it wouldn't bother talking nonsense here with Emiya Kiritsugu. Wouldn't that be idle?

"What the hell are you?!"

"Angora Mainu" finally looked at Ke Ling at this time. It could tell at a glance that Ke Ling was not a human, because it was a human killer and had the most acute perception of human beings. The creature in front of it was obviously not a human.

"God damn, I am a ghost. You are a ghost. You don't even have your own independent personality. You are just a wandering ghost."

Ke Ling was confused. Although he was indeed not a human, he was still more normal compared to this "Angora Mainyu". In fact, it was not quite accurate to say that this guy was Angora Mainyu. He was more like a conceptual existence, and therefore could not even exist independently without the support of personality.

"Angora Mainyu" was immediately broken down by Ke Ling's tit-for-tat attack. It wanted to take the opportunity of making a wish to break away from the Holy Grail and come to the world in a physical form.

But if no one makes a wish, it will not be able to come into the world. Just as Ke Ling said, it is a lonely ghost that can do nothing.

In the Fuyuki Civic Hall, Saber and Matou Kariya had already entered. They also saw the "Little Holy Grail" hanging high in the air, and Emiya Kiritsugu was sitting on the side smoking.

"Emiya, what are you doing?"

Matou Kariya went over and asked, but looking at Emiya Kiritsugu's expression, he probably already had a guess, and he was afraid that things were just as Lord Ke Ling said.

Because it is obvious that the "Little Holy Grail" that has been leaking black mud does not look like a serious wishing machine. The black mud seems to carry a strong malice towards humans.

"The Holy Grail is a hoax."

As expected, Emiya Kiritsugu spoke, looking lonely and painful. In this way, everything he had done was meaningless.

"how come."

Saber on the side had a dazed look on her face, but at the same time, she felt a sense of relief in her heart. This way, she didn't have to worry about it anymore, because the Holy Grail could not fulfill her wish and the Holy Grail could not change her past.

"So what should we do next? Just wait like this?"

Matou Kariya looked at the "Little Holy Grail" floating in the air. The black mud was not overflowing from the "Little Holy Grail" very quickly because no magician had made a wish to release the magic power.

"According to Devil, just wait and the magic power will run out."

Kiritsugu Emiya himself didn't know what to do. The Einzbern family didn't give him any instructions, so he didn't know much about the entire Holy Grail system.

According to Ke Ling, if wishes are not granted, the magic power will slowly be depleted in order to maintain the channel to the "Heroes' Throne", as this is the original setting of the Holy Grail War system. As for absorbing magic power to realize dreams, it is only a by-product.

Looking up at the Holy Grail in the sky, Emiya Kiritsugu had complicated emotions. From his heart, he wanted to destroy this distorted Holy Grail and the Holy Grail system.

But Ke Ling had told him before that it was meaningless to destroy the "Little Holy Grail" here, because it was just a key. In order to end the Holy Grail War, the "Greater Holy Grail" must be destroyed.

The Greater Holy Grail is the incarnation of the "Winter Saint" Justisa. It is an incomplete third method. It is connected to the veins of Fuyuki to absorb magical power and can reach the Throne of Heroes. It is the foundation of the entire Holy Grail War and is located in the large cave underground in Ryudo Temple on Mount Enzo.

In order to end the Holy Grail War, such an entire system must be destroyed. If they act here, the accumulated magic power may leak out. Even if only a small part of that terrifying magic power leaks out, it will be enough to destroy most of Fuyuki City.

Kiritsugu Emiya chose to believe this statement. As long as he didn't cause any trouble, this time it should end safely. After all, no wishes were made in the previous three Holy Grail Wars, and he hadn't heard that Fuyuki City had suffered any extremely terrible damage.

"Where's Devil?"

When Emiya Kiritsugu came to his senses, he realized that the Devil had not come at all.

"He rushed into the hole outside."

Matou Kariya replied that he didn't know what Lord Ke Ling was going to do.

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Little Holy Grail" suddenly became restless and seemed to be in an unstable state. This made Emiya Kiritsugu, Matou Kariya and Saber all look a little nervous. After all, Ke Ling said that if something happened to this thing, it might take most of Fuyuki City with it.

In the "hole", Ke Ling was trying to control the "Great Holy Grail". He came in from the "hole" and broke into the interior of the system, just to try to completely control the "Great Holy Grail System" directly.

Although this thing was transformed by Yustisa, Yustisa was originally an artificial person, a walking "cup". Even when she was alive, Ke Ling felt that he might be able to control and transform it. What's more, now that it has been disassembled, there is no reason why it cannot be transformed.
