Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 239 The truth about the "Universal Wishing Machine"
"My king, I will definitely be brave!"

Weber Velvet made the promise, crying and snotting. Although they had not been together for a long time, he had been deeply impressed by Iskandar's personal charm.

"After one is dealt with, the others should be here soon."

Ke Ling glanced at Weber and ignored him. The child was no longer important, so he let him leave quickly after he finished crying.

“I wonder what’s going on with Saber. Is it because Irisviel isn’t coming?”

Ke Ling is waiting for Saber to appear, but there is a possibility that the Knight King will not come, or something might go wrong along the way.

After all, Iskandar's soul should have been absorbed, and with four servants sucking the "Little Holy Grail" in, Irisviel must have been unable to withstand it.

The withdrawal of the four servants will definitely cause changes to the "Little Holy Grail", and the so-called "Little Holy Grail" is actually Irisviel.

Irisviel is an android, a "humanoid tool" prepared by the Einzbern family for the Holy Grail War. The entire "Holy Grail War" system is composed of three elements: the Holy Grail system, the Servant's Command Spells, and the venue, which are provided by each of the three major families.

The "Holy Grail System" is divided into the "Greater Holy Grail" and the "Lesser Holy Grail", both of which were made by the Einzberns.

The so-called "universal wishing machine" is actually just a lie. The essence of the entire "Holy Grail War" is to be able to reach the root. Reaching the "root" is the ultimate goal of the magician. From the Age of Gods to the modern times, thousands of magicians have tried various methods to reach the "root".

Of course, wish fulfillment is not all lies. Wish fulfillment is just a by-product, it’s just not that omnipotent.

After the final outcome of the Holy Grail War, the souls of the six Heroic Spirits return to the Throne of Heroes. This process will open a "hole" between the present world and the root, and the souls of the Heroic Servants absorbed by the "Little Holy Grail" and the magical power accumulated by the ground of Fuyuki City for sixty years will continuously strengthen this "hole".

At this time, the magic power flowing out from the root through this "hole" is almost endless compared to the present world. When the wisher possesses such a huge amount of magic power, as long as he knows the method, he can indeed realize any wish. This principle is the same as having money can realize most wishes.

However, the reality is that even if you have money, you cannot buy things that do not exist in the world. Even if you have infinite magic power, it is impossible to realize any wish. First, the wisher must know how to realize it, and then the magic power can be used to help the wisher achieve a miracle.

Once this condition came out, most people's wishes became luxuries. For example, even if Kiritsugu Emiya obtained a huge amount of magic power from the source, he didn't know how to make peace in the world or how to uphold justice in the world. If he knew, he wouldn't have pinned his hopes on the "universal wishing machine."

For example, if Saber Altria's wish was replaced by "Jewel Master" Zelrich, it could be easily realized because he knew how to manipulate time and space, but Saber Altria obviously didn't know that.

Simply put, the wishes that the Holy Grail can fulfill are specifically those wishes that one knows how to do but does not have the ability and conditions to do so.

"呲呲呲!"

The sound of emergency brakes echoed throughout the dock. On the roadside of the dock warehouse, Saber Altria stopped the car with an anxious look on her face because Irisviel's health suddenly failed.

"Irisviel! What's wrong with you?!"

After stopping the car, Saber Altria went to check on Irisviel anxiously. She didn't have time to care about Rider's exit. Irisviel's condition didn't look good. All this happened too suddenly.

As a "human-shaped container", Irisviel is responsible for recovering and detaining the souls of the servants until the end of the war. After all, in order to open a "hole", at least six servants' souls must be gathered. It is impossible to open the "hole" by returning to the Throne of Heroes one by one.

After storing the souls of three or four heroic spirits, Irisviel, as a container, will gradually lose her personality and eventually become a complete container. This is the case now.

I ate too much and couldn't vomit it out. How could I not feel uncomfortable?
"What happened to this Einzbern?"

Matou Kariya was somewhat surprised. He obviously did not know the details of the Holy Grail War, so he was very confused by Irisviel's pre-war illness. She was so sick and still came to fight? Was there no one left in the Einzbern family?

"Let's go and take a look."

Ke Ling approached naturally, which aroused Saber Altria's vigilance. She looked at the approaching Ke Ling angrily, but did not say anything about "taking advantage of someone's misfortune". She just tightly held the "curry stick" in her hand.

"Stop, you ridiculously strong man."

However, before Saber Altria could say anything, another Servant appeared, it was Lancer Diarmuid holding dual guns.

Standing in front of Saber Altria and Irisviel, Lancer Diarmuid's expression was very serious. This "Glorious Face" finally took the initiative to stand up. He would not allow anyone to take advantage of the situation at this time.

"Thanks, Lancer."

Seeing Lancer standing up, there was some gratitude and admiration in Altria's eyes. Although they were from different eras, she really admired this knight holding dual guns. If they were born in the same era, she believed that they would get along well.

"You're welcome, Saber. After all, Rider has already left the field. If we want to win now, we can only work together to fight against this gentleman and Berserker."

Lancer smiled. He was able to appear on the stage because, firstly, he couldn't stand it, and secondly, he had seen through the situation.

In this case, there was no reason for his master to stop him. He couldn't just sit there and watch Saber leave, right? Then what could Diarmuid do to fight against Ke Ling and Berserker? Both of them were incredibly strong.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make me sound like a villain, okay? I don't want to take action at this time."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ke Ling was speechless. What was going on? We were fighting the boss together? Was it my turn to enter the dungeon?

"You don't understand what's going on with this girl, do you? It just so happens that I know a little bit. Are you sure you don't want me to go and take a look?"

Ke Ling spoke calmly with a smile on his face. His words made Altria hesitate. Irisviel was now completely unconscious, and she really had no way to deal with it. She didn't even know what was going on and had no way to deal with it.

Altria looked at Ke Ling hesitantly, she was now wondering whether she should delay or not. Although she was very reluctant, at this time, she still had to contact her real Master Emiya Kiritsugu. As a husband, Emiya Kiritsugu should understand what Irisviel's situation was.

"Just call me Devil."

Ke Ling came to Lancer Diarmuid very naturally. For some reason, looking at Ke Ling in front of him, Diarmuid had no intention of taking action. He thought it would be better to let Ke Ling go and take a look. He didn't think Ke Ling would be that kind of villain.

"Devil, do you really know what's going on with Irisviel?"

In this case, Altria did not continue to refuse stubbornly. She looked at Ke Ling, hoping to get an answer.

Ke Ling did not beat around the bush and directly revealed the truth about the Holy Grail War.

"This is inevitable because she is part of the Holy Grail War."

After briefly explaining the nature of the Holy Grail War, Ke Ling shook his head and issued a death notice to Irisviel.

"How. How could this happen?!"

Altria was completely dumbfounded. The truth of the Holy Grail War was obviously too cruel for her, because it basically meant that her wish could not be realized at all.

Moreover, she wondered if her Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, knew about these things. If these were true, would Emiya Kiritsugu be willing to sacrifice Irisviel for his own dream? This was his wife! And Illya's mother! How could he be so cruel? !
Lancer Diarmuid on the side didn't react much. After all, for him, wishes didn't need to rely on the Holy Grail to come true.

Even a Holy Grail War of this nature is very much to the liking of his Master Kenneth. After all, Kenneth is also an orthodox magician and he must be longing to get to the root of the problem.

"Then what's the point of this Holy Grail War?!"

This roar came from Emiya Kiritsugu who hurriedly ran out from the darkness, because along with Artoria's wish, the wish he wanted to make was also denied!
Emiya Kiritsugu looked confused, because he couldn't even raise a trace of doubt at this moment. Ke Ling's statement was simply too reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for him to doubt.

Ke Ling described the truth in such detail, as if he had personally witnessed the entire process of establishing the "Holy Grail War" system, and a lot of the information matched what he knew.

In fact, if Ke Ling really said that, then everyone present would have to believe it first. Otherwise, would they really think Ke Ling was a modern magician? Wouldn't that be even more outrageous? !

"Although his nickname is the Magician Killer, he is still a magician after all, and the son of a guy like Emiya Norika who was sealed and designated. Don't you think it's funny that you ask this? Meaning? Isn't reaching the root the meaning of a magician's life?"

Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu who had an expression of disbelief on his face, Ke Ling complained.

Emiya Kiritsugu's father, Emiya Norinaka, was a true genius. Although the Emiya family was only the fourth generation up to his generation, he had raised the research level of the family's inherited magic to the level that could be "sealed and designated". He was a genius.

Look at Weber with a silly expression on his face. He is a third-generation magician. Even if he is given a few decades, he cannot study the Velvet family's magic heritage to the level that can be sealed. Neither can his son.

"."

Kiritsugu Emiya was stunned for a moment, then he understood, everything was for the "root", his father was the same, in order to have enough time to study, in order to be able to touch the root, he actually began to study the method of turning dead apostles into immortality.

This is the magician who will do anything to get to the root of the problem. In order to allow the "Holy Grail War" to operate normally, it is nothing to weave a lie about a "universal wishing machine" for the "Holy Grail War".

"In fact, your father is quite good. He just studies hard on his own. The path he takes is much more difficult than the Holy Grail War."

Ke Ling admired Emiya Norikata very much. That guy hid himself away from others and devoted himself to research, not bothering others. He was a magician with a conscience. The accident in the end was due to an accident. He himself didn't actually want anything to happen. He was much more principled than most crazy magicians.

The magic of the Emiya family is also a kind of inherent barrier, but it is specifically used to operate the barrier inside the body or a small area. It is a magic that can accelerate or stagnate the flow of time within the range. In other words, it is the magic version of "Sian Westin".

The method that Emiya Norikata wants to use to reach the source is to accelerate the flow of time infinitely within a very small barrier, and by observing the end of the universe, he can reach the source that should appear after that.

I have to say, a genius is a genius, and he has a lot of ideas.

What's even more outrageous is that his theory itself actually has a very good chance of being realized, but it would probably take hundreds of years to complete the experiment. No wonder he wanted to study the immortality of the dead.

In fact, it is Emiya Norika who should participate in the "Holy Grail War". He is the kind of person who has found a feasible method, but is unable to achieve his goal due to external factors. He can achieve his idea by simply using infinite magic power.

"."

Ke Ling's words silenced Emiya Kiritsugu. In fact, Emiya Kiritsugu only inherited less than 20% of Emiya Norinaka's magic seal. This filial son who shot his father with his own hands only took the remnants. Most of the precious research results were taken away by the "Magic Association", otherwise Emiya Kiritsugu would not be left unattended.

Kiritsugu Emiya has no regrets about killing his father with his own hands. In Kiritsugu Emiya's world view, although his father has always been a good father, his father who studied the transformation of Dead Apostles is indeed a sinner. The exposure of his research has killed people on the island and may even kill more people in the future, so he must kill his father in order to save more people.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, do you know that Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail?"

From the conversation between the two, Saber Altria discovered a blind spot. It was obvious that Kiritsugu Emiya knew about Irisviel's affairs, and he was even fully aware of it from the beginning.

This answer obviously made Altria very angry and puzzled. It can only be said that this pair of partners was really a mismatch and they didn't even understand each other at all.

Ever since he killed his father, Kiritsugu Emiya has been completely insane. After he killed his master and adoptive mother, he became completely crazy. For the sake of his ideals and wishes, giving up Irisviel now is nothing. Kiritsugu Emiya only has his own righteousness in his heart!
