Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 240 For a glimmer of hope

Faced with the questions raised by Saber, Emiya Kiritsugu could only remain silent. In fact, he knew everything he had done, the people he had hurt, and the price he had paid.

He killed his father and adoptive mother, gambled with his wife's life, and killed those few people in order to save the majority. He was also sad in his heart. The reason why he placed his hope on the Holy Grail was that he hoped he would not have to do this again in the future.

But now, Ke Ling has directly lifted the veil of the Holy Grail War, his dream has been completely shattered, and everything he has done has lost its meaning.

"you"

Looking at the distraught Emiya Kiritsugu, Artoria didn't know what to say for a moment. This man was obviously greatly shocked, and she herself was also very confused.

Such a Holy Grail obviously could not fulfill her dream of returning to the past. Even if it was just to prevent her from pulling out the "Sword in the Stone" during the king selection, she simply didn't know how.

"Oh, and there's some bad news. In fact, even if you know the method, it's useless now because the Holy Grail War system is broken. There's a poor guy hiding inside, and he's become the bug that destroys the entire system."

Ke Ling sighed. The Holy Grail War before the "Third Holy Grail War" was the Holy Grail War he was talking about.

Now the Holy Grail has been completely polluted. The poor young man who is labeled "all the evil in this world" will distort all wishes and make the winner's wish come true in a distorted way.

The Avenger class that was illegally summoned in the "Third Holy Grail War" polluted the Holy Grail along with its magic. The originally colorless power of the Holy Grail has turned into black mud. As a result of the distortion of the Holy Grail, wishes will be interpreted as "evil", and wishes will always be fulfilled in a way that brings destruction and disaster.

"."

At this, everyone was dumbfounded again. So, all the efforts up to now were in vain? Was this Holy Grail War just a farce? Was it impossible to fulfill any wishes? Even the last wish that was fulfilled might be a punishment?
If someone is completely unaware of this and reacts a little slowly, he or she might be seriously deceived by this twisted Holy Grail.

"Then what are we fighting for?"

Kenneth's voice was heard from the air. This magician from the Clock Tower at the Magic Association's headquarters had been hiding and not daring to show up, but this time, he slowly walked out from the shadows, and it was obvious that he was a little restless.

Kenneth was wearing a blue gown, his blond hair was combed neatly, he stood straight with his hands behind his back, and there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Master."

Seeing Kayneth appear, Lancer Diarmuid immediately bowed and greeted him. Kayneth did not make any comment on this. It was obvious that the relationship between this pair of partners was not very good, mainly because Kayneth, as a Master, had problems with his mentality.

Of course, it was also Lancer Diarmuid's bad luck that he happened to meet Kenneth, a man who liked to bring girls with him, and a woman who had been married to Kenneth and had no emotional basis with him. She had all the buffs filled up, just waiting for him, the Lancer, to appear.

If Kenneth hadn't brought his fiancée, the two of them wouldn't be such a bad match. It can only be said that fate likes to play tricks on honest people, and the Lancer's Lucky E effect is special enough.

Seeing Kayneth appear, another person was greatly shocked. That was Waver Velvet, who had just lost his servant. After all, he stole Kayneth's holy relics and came to join the war privately. Naturally, it was difficult for him to stand up straight in front of the real boss.

Young people's self-esteem is at work, and they participate in the Holy Grail War just to prove themselves. They don't actually have any bad intentions.

Weber hated the "bloodline theory" in the magic world and spent several years writing a paper on this topic. However, Kenneth, his teacher, just glanced at it and tore it up, which greatly stimulated the young man's self-esteem.

It can only be said that his background did affect Weber Velvet. If he knew a little more about the magic world, he would know that Kenneth, the genius magician, was a staunch "magic aristocrat". His family background was upper class even in the Magic Association. Could it be that he wanted to revolutionize himself?
He tore it up after taking one look at it, and did not cause trouble for Weber Velvet. This was because Kenneth, as a genius, was arrogant and did not take a rookie like Weber seriously. If it were someone else, he might have gotten rid of Weber directly.

For the Magic Association, making an unknown magician disappear is extremely easy.

Kenneth did not go to see Weber. From Iskandar's behavior, he also understood that the King of Conquerors was not actually very suitable for him, and might even have fierce conflicts with him.

In comparison, the effect may not be as good as the current Lancer. If nothing else, Lancer is at least obedient.

"I never expected that the so-called Holy Grail War would end like this."

Kenneth looked disappointed. In fact, he didn't come here for the "root". He came to join the war just to add an entry to his resume, the record of "victor of the Holy Grail War".

As a genius magician who has achieved achievements that most people cannot reach in their lifetime at the age of twenty, Kenneth is confident enough, even conceited. He believes that he can rely on his own abilities to get to the "root" without relying on external forces such as the "Holy Grail War".

"So you guys don't fight anymore?"

Matou Kariya was a little confused. He had only studied magic for one year, and some of what he was dealing with now were beyond the scope of his knowledge.

As he asked the question, Matou Kariya kept sighing in his heart. It seemed that he should accumulate more knowledge in the future, so that he would not be at a loss when encountering troubles, even if he did not use it in his daily life.

After all, he is now guarding the inheritance of the Matou family, and he might get into trouble. Once you enter the devil's door, it is like entering a deep sea. Even for Sakura, he can't let himself be caught by others.

Moreover, he also has to do things for Lord Ke Ling, so he must constantly improve himself and absolutely cannot let Tōsaka Tokiomi overtake him!

Matou Kariya thought too much. What if Tōsaka Tokiomi pleased Master Ke Ling and proposed to take Sakura away? He would never allow such a thing to happen, so he had to improve himself so that he could do more things.

"No, I want to go and see it myself!"

Whether the Holy Grail War should continue or not is a question, but it is obvious that some people will not give up until they see the coffin. Although Ke Ling's words are well-founded and detailed, it is impossible to doubt them, but Emiya Kiritsugu must go and see it in person, he must try it in person, he has been put here. Irisviel's situation is obviously irreversible. This girl has gradually lost her personality and turned into a tool. Emiya Kiritsugu has paid the price, and he must see the result, even if it is a result that ultimately cannot achieve the goal!

Irisviel is actually only nine years old since she was born. She first met Emiya Kiritsugu in an amniotic fluid tank in the Einzbern family workshop. Of course, androids look like this from birth, otherwise, Emiya Kiritsugu would be a bit too abnormal.

The two lived together for nine years and raised Illya for eight years. Irisviel, the mother, was essentially only nine years old, and her daughter Illya was eight years old. It was really unbearable.

Even if there was no affection at the beginning, after nine years of living together and raising a child together, no, it should be said that Emiya Kiritsugu raised two children single-handedly, so no matter how you look at it, there must be real affection between them.

It was obvious that Kiritsugu Emiya's grief at this time was not pretended, which made Altria's impression of him slightly changed.

"Saber, you also have a wish that must be fulfilled, right?! Then get up and fight!"

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Artoria. Although he and this pedantic Knight King had different values, at this point in time, he had no choice but to count on the Knight King's powerful fighting ability.

"Well, we have to give it a try after all."

Seeing this, Artoria also stood up decisively. What Emiya Kiritsugu said was right. No matter what, she had to go and see it with her own eyes before giving up. What if what Ke Ling said was false?

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the bullet whizzed towards Matou Kariya who was standing aside. Matou Kariya, who was quietly eating melons, was obviously a little confused, not knowing why he became the first target of attack. Fortunately, Berserker reacted in time, appeared directly and blocked the bullet.

Looking at the bullet that was easily split by Berserker, Matou Kariya had a lingering fear on his face and was obviously frightened.

This was the work of Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant Hisau Maiya. She had been hiding in the dark, aiming her gun at the Masters on the battlefield. After receiving Kiritsugu Emiya's order, she immediately attacked the Master Matou Kariya.

Kiritsugu Emiya had a good idea. He would first get rid of Matou Kariya, and Berserker would naturally withdraw. Then he could let Saber get rid of Lancer, or he and Hisau Maiya would get rid of Lancer's Master, and the Holy Grail War would be over.

As for Ke Ling, there is absolutely no need to care about him, because Ke Ling is not a Servant at all. Even if they ignore Ke Ling, they can still win the Holy Grail War. Moreover, Ke Ling is not even a Master, he has no qualifications to win.

Unfortunately, Matou Kariya and Berserker did not do as he wished. Matou Kariya refused to leave, and Berserker roared and looked at Saber Altria who was standing there. He let out a clear roar, and the voice was shouting "Arthur", the name of King Arthur.

"Sir Lancelot of the Incorruptible Lake, is that you? How did you become like this? Were you forced by me, the king?"

After seeing the sword in Berserker Lancelot's hand, Saber Altria was completely dumbfounded. She never expected that this Berserker, this black knight, was actually the strongest Knight of the Round Table under her command.

"Kakaka!"

Berserker's helmet fell off, revealing a face tinged with madness. It was naturally the man that Altria was very familiar with, Lancelot, the strongest knight of the Knights of the Round Table.

The former subordinate and minister appeared as Berserker, an extremely crazy person with a look of deep obsession with her. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Altria, the unconfident king.

She had always felt that she was not a very good king and wanted to get rid of this responsibility and replace it with a more suitable person to lead everyone. Now seeing Lancelot like this, her thoughts were undoubtedly deepened. Even Sir Lancelot, who had always been a gentleman and a perfect knight, was forced into this state by her!
“Boom! Clang!”

Lancelot couldn't say anything else. He roared and rushed directly towards Saber Altria. The battle was about to break out. Between Saber and Lancer, Lancelot would definitely choose Saber as his opponent.

There is no way, after all, Lancer Diarmuid is the prototype of his story. In front of the prototype, Lancelot is naturally suppressed.

"Let's have a fight."

Berserker has found Saber, so Lancer is naturally Ke Ling's opponent. In fact, Ke Ling is not very suitable to fight with Lancer. After all, the "Yellow Rose of Certain Destruction" does restrain him as a recovery type. This time is the time to test his tankiness, and he must not let Lancer break through the defense.

Diarmuid was born as a Lancer this time, and he brought with him two magic spears, the "Red Rose that Breaks Magic" and the "Yellow Rose that Destroys Magic". One of them ignores magic, and the other prevents wounds from being healed. Both have good effects, but they do not have any high-power destructive capabilities.

In fact, Diarmuid's most famous weapons are his two magic swords, and his swordsmanship is also stronger. If he were born as a Saber, he would be much stronger than he is now. But there is no if in everything. Since he was born as a Lancer, he has to bear the cause and effect of Luck E.

"Buzz!"

Two long swords appeared in Ke Ling's hands, and RC cells gushed out of his body, quickly covering his entire body. The devil reappeared in the world, and the night was his home ground. As long as he was not stabbed by the "Destroyable Yellow Rose", Lancer Diarmuid would have no way to deal with him.

"Qiang!"

Lancer Diarmuid attacked with a spear, both of them were dual wielding weapons, and the sound of blades and spears clashing was endless.

If we only talk about martial arts, Ke Ling is naturally not as good as the famous heroes in the story like Lancer Diarmuid, but Ke Ling's advantages are obvious. His attacks are wide and wide, he only attacks and does not defend, and his speed is extremely fast. It is a completely alternative way of fighting, which is enough to completely erase the gap between him and Diarmuid in martial arts.

No matter what, Diarmuid is also a normal Heroic Spirit. He only has one life, and he needs to be treated if he is injured. He must be careful in dealing with it, and cannot risk his life like Ke Ling.
Diarmuid was extremely surprised. Logically speaking, as a Heroic Servant, he should fight for his life and die if he had to. His body had died long ago anyway. But Ke Ling was obviously a living person who could survive in the world. Why did he act like he was even less willing to risk his life than a Heroic Servant like him?

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The Heroic Spirits were fighting fiercely, and the Masters were not idle either. The lonely Matou Kariya had obviously become the target of Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth, which made Matou Kariya sweat profusely. How could he, a rookie who had just learned magic for a year, fight with these two big guys? !
