Chapter 268 The Fifth Holy Grail War

As soon as Fu Le returned from the Vortex of Origin, Hei Ta and Ruan Mei approached him.

They need to examine the extent of Fu Le's corruption as soon as possible, and find ways to prevent it while healing him.

Otherwise, they might really enter a treasure trove only to leave empty-handed.

How could Black Tower and Nguyen Mai tolerate such a thing!
The two geniuses were racking their brains to the limit, trying to find the real answer.

I have to say, a genius is a genius.

Hei Ta and Ruan Mei quickly analyzed the erosion that Fu Le had suffered. After designing a plan to quickly restore Fu Le to his original state, they also designed a set of protective equipment specifically to defend against this erosive force.

"As expected of a great being at the Star God level, this Vortex of Origin has not disappointed me."

Black Tower exclaimed excitedly upon reaching this conclusion.

Even Ruan Mei couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"So this equipment alone can withstand damage at the level of a Star God?"

Rakshasa took the bracelet handed to her by the Black Tower and asked incredulously.

After all, that's a Star God level!

As for why it's a Rakshasa?

Of course, this means that Fu Le's condition has not yet returned to normal.

Even if Heita and Ruan Mei designed a plan for him that was hundreds of times more efficient than his original one, it would still take time.

But Black Tower was in a hurry.

Rakshasa was indeed the genuine Envoy of Abundance, and his recovery ability was no weaker than that of Fu Le.

That means he can stay inside for quite a while even without the Black Tower's equipment, so he's the only one who can take on the task of testing the equipment right now.

"How could this set of equipment possibly withstand an attack from a Star God level? However, although the erosion came from the Vortex of Origin, it was not an attack initiated by the Vortex of Origin."

“These erosions are similar to the shroud of the Void Star God IX. Even though the Void Star God IX doesn’t care about any existence, when someone gets close to Him, they will be shrouded by Him and then gradually influenced by Him.”

"The same goes for the Vortex of Origin, except that its influence is not as intense as that of the Void Star God IX. That's why we can use these equipment to resist it to some extent, but this is also time-limited."

Black Tower explained in detail without getting tired of it.

"This bracelet can only withstand attacks for a limited time. In our design, it will teleport you back when its resistance time is about to reach its limit. Although this time is not very long now, the knowledge of the Star God level is already enough for us to comprehend."

“However, your mission here is to test the effectiveness of this bracelet, so we also need to consider the possibility of it malfunctioning. Just in case, Fu Le has also prepared a teleportation device for you to get out of there. He has already tested that it can be used there.”

Fu Le returned from the Vortex of Origin using that spatial equipment, not his own spatial abilities.

This was for the purpose of Rakshasa and Black Tower Ruanmei Mirror Flow later on.

They need to consider whether the Root Vortex will affect these instruments.

It still seems reliable now.

However, Black Tower, Ruan Mei, and especially Jing Liu are not as good at surviving as Fu Le and Luo Sha. For their safety, every piece of key equipment must be tested, rather than just calculated based on imagination.

Even if a being of the Star God level has no intention of killing them, they must be extremely careful when facing such a great being.

"I understand, leave it to me!"

Faced with such an opportunity, Rakshasa did not hesitate at all.

After being introduced to the two geniuses, he chose to believe them.

Whether it was his belief in geniuses or his belief in Fu Le, it was all the same to him.

He then entered the Vortex of Origin under the cautious yet earnest gazes of the crowd.

When he returned safely, Black Tower laughed excitedly.

Black Tower became even more pleased after checking the security records inside the equipment.

The equipment he manufactured was in good condition and served its full purpose.

Now that's the case, she can finally step into the Vortex of Origin.

For a genius who thirsts for talent, the Vortex of Roots is truly magical.

Black Tower was confident that she would be able to uncover the secrets of the Star God within it.

However, what she cared about was not the knowledge within the Vortex of Origin.

What she cares about is the vortex of origin itself.

After all, it is extremely rare to find a great being of the Star God level who sits there completely unguarded and allows others to study him.

Before this, even the Black Tower wouldn't have dared to imagine such a situation.

Now that they've encountered this, how could Black Tower not be excited?

However, even after Rakshasa returned, Black Tower, Ruan Mei, and Jing Liu did not immediately go to the Vortex of Origin, because of Fu Le's obstruction.

"In any case, it's always good to be cautious."

Fu Le advised.

In Fu Le's plan, Hei Ta Ruan Mei and Jing Liu will go into the Vortex of Origin with him next.

In this way, if anything unexpected happens to them, Fu Le can quickly bring them out of the vortex of origin, thus protecting their lives.

After all, no amount of knowledge is as important as their lives.

Black Tower was initially unwilling to accept this.

She believed there was nothing wrong with the equipment she had made.

But under Fu Le's strong insistence, she ultimately chose to obey.

This was not only because she was willing to listen to Fu Le's advice, but also because Fu Le was not long away from recovery at that time.

Although it did take her a long time, she still had some time.

Furthermore, he can use this time to further enhance the equipment he designed.

This equipment has now proven to be sufficiently resilient; the next step is to upgrade its duration.

After all, duration is always extremely important.

Fu Le quickly returned to normal, and during this time, Black Tower also upgraded the equipment.

Then, led by Fu Le, the five of them entered the Vortex of Origin together.

"The Vortex of Origin, I've returned?"

With a sliver of his attention focused on keeping a close eye on the situation of the four in the Black Tower, Fu Le once again poured all his energy into perfecting the model he was building for his own reincarnation world.

Creating a world with immense growth potential is an extremely difficult task.

Now, with the help of the knowledge within the Vortex of Origin, Fu Le is about to complete it.

Then realize it.

The days that followed suddenly became peaceful.

Fu Le and his group stayed at the Matou residence, where they conducted continuous research every day except for meals.

Even those who weren't in the research department, such as Rakshasa and Kagami-ryu, were no exception.

After being exposed to the outside world, they saw a path to rapid growth, whereas their strength had previously stagnated.

For them, who value strength highly, this meant they dared not be negligent in the slightest.

For them, strength is not only an important factor in whether they can fulfill their wishes in the future, but also an important standard for whether they can continue to follow Fu Le.

Wasn't the reason Fu Le brought them to this other world because of their strength?
Otherwise, why would it belong to them?

Compared to them, there were many other people on the Immortal Ship who had a better relationship with Fu Le.

Who can't he bring along?
Therefore, they were very clear that they had to constantly improve their strength and could not become pawns who couldn't keep up with Fu Le's pace. In short, with all sorts of emotions and thoughts, Fu Le and the other three were extremely busy.

While Fu Le and his group were engrossed in their research, significant changes began to occur in Fuyuki City.

As time passed, the magical power accumulated in the Holy Grail system of Fuyuki City increased so much that it reached the point where the Holy Grail War could be restarted in just ten years.

After all, the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City has never been dismantled.

In fact, when Fu Le needed the Holy Grail system to enter the Vortex of Origin, he commissioned Medea to improve the Holy Grail system.

The Holy Grail system had long been purified by Medea, as it had been previously corrupted.

When Medea first gained a physical body, she didn't use much of the magic from the Holy Grail system.

After all, Medea was a top magician, and her mastery of magic allowed her to avoid wasting magic to the greatest extent possible.

Unlike other magicians who can only use enough magic to make bricks fly.

Therefore, in just ten years, the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City was once again full of magic.

However, the Holy Grail system will not actually activate if there is only sufficient magic power.

After all, the Holy Grail system now belongs to someone else.

But under some inexplicable interference that even Medea couldn't detect, the Fifth Holy Grail War was about to begin.

Matou House.

Sakura Matou, who was having dinner with Medea and Artoria in the evening, suddenly felt a strange pain on the back of her hand.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Sakura Matou looked at the back of her hand and saw red marks on it.

"Wait, this looks like a Command Seal mark, doesn't it?"

Sakura Matou paused in surprise.

Under the tutelage of Fu Le and Medea, Matou Sakura has received magical instruction since childhood. She has now mastered all the magic books in the Matou family and has begun to receive in-depth instruction on the relevant knowledge of the other world.

As a masterpiece of the Matou family's magic, the Command Seal system is all too familiar to Matou Sakura.

"Command spell?"

Hearing Matou Sakura's mutterings, Medea and Artoria immediately came over.

Both of them showed surprise when they saw the familiar mark on the back of Matou Sakura's hand.

"Huh, when did I get injured?"

Lying in the bathtub, Ilya stared at the back of her hand with a look of surprise.

She doesn't remember when she was injured.

"Could it be that he bumped into her without realizing it while he was playing around with Mimi, Ryuko, Suzuka, and Nana-Gui?"

Ilya began to recall, but she could not remember exactly where she had injured the back of her hand.

"Never mind, it's just a scratch anyway. Let's get Sera to put some ointment on it later."

Ilya thought to herself.

Just then, unnoticed by her, a magic wand suddenly streaked across the sky and headed straight for the bathroom where she was.

After Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel rescued Illya from the Einzbern family, the family chose to settle in Fuyuki City.

However, although Fuyuki City still suffered enormous damage this time, thanks to Fu Le's prior preparations, there were no casualties.

This naturally resulted in Shirou Emiya not losing his family and home.

This also meant that Ilya didn't have an extra brother.

Although she has become an only child, her story will still begin with the arrival of a magic wand, only this time she is destined not to be the protagonist.

"I can collect cards for you, so please give me a place to stay."

Sakuzuki Miyu, who had just been transferred from another world, encountered a magic wand that had just abandoned its master, and subsequently signed a contract with it to become a magical girl.

When Luvia, who had come looking for a wand, arrived at the park, she jumped down from the tree and said to her.

However, she did not notice that beneath her brand-new magical girl outfit, the radiance of the Command Seals was already imprinted on the back of her hand, which was covered by gloves.

Later that day.

After bringing Miyu Sakuzuki back to her temporary residence, Luvia couldn't help but grit her teeth as she recalled what had happened.

But the thought that Rin Tohsaka was in the same situation as her made her feel better.

Through her subordinates' intelligence, she also learned that Rin Tohsaka's wand had been obtained by a girl named Illya.

So Luvia ordered her men to take over the land opposite Ilya's house and build her own courtyard on it.

As a super-rich person, Luvia even builds her own temporary residence.

"What bad luck!"

Luvia, who had been active all night and was preparing to take a shower before bed, saw the marks on the back of her hand in the bathroom, which made her think of the Holy Grail War.

After all, Luvia's ancestors also participated in the Holy Grail War.

It was just the third Holy Grail War.

At the time, Luvia's family consisted of two sisters who came to fight, but after meeting the ancestor of the Tohsaka family, they both fell in love with each other.

Ultimately, the ancestor of the Tohsaka family married one of them.

Therefore, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia are related.

In some timelines, Tokiomi Tohsaka will adopt Sakura into Luvia's family instead of the Matou family.

"Ugh!!!"

Rin Tohsaka, who had just returned home, shouted loudly in her room.

She knew all too well the traces of Command Seals.

After all, winning the Holy Grail War was the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish, and Rin Tohsaka had kept this matter firmly in her heart since she was a child.

Especially after she saw her father, whom she was once so proud of, become so dejected after the Holy Grail War.

"I thought I'd have to wait another fifty years!"

Rin Tohsaka clenched her fists, her eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.

The Tohsaka family of today is not the same as the bankrupt Tohsaka family. Although Tokiomi Tohsaka suffered a severe blow to his spirit in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he still has the ability to rebuild his family business.

Thanks to him, Rin Tohsaka no longer has to be Luvia's maid.

"Holy Grail War?"

In the rebuilt Fuyuki City Church, Karen stands by the window, admiring the marks on the back of her hand in the moonlight.

Karen, who was taken back to Fuyuki City and raised by Kotomine Risei, is now a nun at the Fuyuki City Church.

In addition, she also has the responsibility of monitoring the Holy Grail system.

"Heh heh, now that should get your attention!"

On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Fuyuki City, Aika Sajou looked out over Fuyuki City and chuckled softly.

She had been searching for that traveler from beyond the world for a long time.

However, the opponent's technical level was so high that even though she could connect to the source, she couldn't find their trace.

Until she arrived in Fuyuki City.

Then they found a clue here.
