Abnormal Moon

"No, that won't work either."

Roy shook his head again.

"My magic eye can indeed control all spells, but it cannot grant spells any abilities other than their own. For example, even if I control an enhancement spell, I can only enhance its enhancement effect, not give it the ability to project."

"The same applies to the Greater Grail. The reason why the activation conditions were successfully altered is because the Greater Grail already possesses terms such as Servant, cost, and mana. I manipulated these terms to arrange and combine them, which allowed it to absorb the soul of the Servant. However, self-purification is not among its terms. In other words, its spell base does not have the function of self-purification."

The Greater Grail can grant almost any wish because it can absorb the magic power of the world's ley lines. With such a vast amount of magic power, it can do almost anything in the world, not because the Greater Grail itself possesses omnipotent properties.

If the Greater Grail truly possessed a self-purifying function, it wouldn't have been contaminated by Angolan Mainyu back then.

Chapter 122 Journey to the Outer World

At that time, if Roy wanted it to self-purify, he would have to force the Greater Grail to restart despite the curse, allowing it to absorb the magic power of the ley lines and then self-purify. With Roy's Mystic Eyes, it was feasible to do so.

But Angra Mainyu was inside at that time, and if Roy did that, Angra Mainyu would definitely drown him with a massive amount of curses.

Now that the reboot has begun, he is no longer able to control the Greater Grail.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the sheer magnitude of the curse within the Greater Grail.

“But there is also good news.”

Roy pointed to the corrupted Aeon Grail not far away.

"I changed the activation conditions of the Greater Grail to require the simultaneous consumption of mana and servant souls. Both conditions must be met for the Greater Grail to fulfill its wish. Now, there should only be Taiko no Momo left as a servant... Without servant souls to consume, the Greater Grail is temporarily at a standstill."

Of the remaining Servants, Archer (Red Archer) was absorbed, and Okita was probably absorbed as well, so only Taikomochi should be left.

However, he was still concerned about the discrepancy between the number of Servant souls that Saber Alter mentioned when she took out the Lesser Grail and the number he knew.

There might be another Servant lurking in the shadows.

Furthermore, among the corrupted Servants of the Fourth Holy Grail War, there is also the corrupted Conqueror Iskandar, who has not yet appeared, and it is unknown where he went.

Although that conqueror king is not as good as Gilgamesh, he is still very much someone to be wary of. Who knows if his actions after turning to the dark side will still be as upright and honorable as they were when he was normal?

The good news is that the Greater Grail currently does not have enough Servant souls to consume, so it cannot fulfill Kirei Kotomine's wish, and the indiscriminate killing has been temporarily stopped because the conditions are not met.

The immense curse surrounding the Greater Grail was so intense that even a magician like Roy felt a surge of evil fire welling up within him with just a glance. It was impossible for ordinary people, let alone magicians, to approach this place.

"In other words, it ultimately cannot be purified."

Rin Tohsaka glanced at the Greater Grail, which was surrounded by a dense curse; the gem she had swallowed earlier was still helping her resist the curse.

"So, the only option left is to destroy the Greater Grail...!"

To prevent a repeat of the catastrophe of ten years ago, the only way to solve the problem once and for all is to destroy the Greater Grail.

Destroying the Greater Grail under normal circumstances is not easy, but fortunately they have Taikoo Wang to help them now.

"A decision really needs to be made as soon as possible."

Taigong Wang's expression was also quite serious.

"I can feel that the Greater Grail has its eyes on me and is trying its best to absorb my soul. Although I am confident in my Sage Mode, the Greater Grail will continuously absorb magic power. Once the absorbed magic power reaches a certain limit, I will not be able to withstand it."

Even the strongest technique can't withstand the force of a flying brick.

A decision must be made before the Greater Grail accumulates enough magical power to absorb even Taiko's soul.

"Can it be sealed?"

Roy pondered for a moment, then asked.

"It's not impossible, but it's not foolproof. The safest approach is to destroy it."

Taigong Wang nodded.

Sealing the Greater Grail and cutting off all its channels for absorbing magical energy is something he could do with his abilities.

The Greater Grail will no longer be able to absorb any magic power, so it will naturally be unable to cause trouble anymore. But seals are meant to be broken, so if something goes wrong with the seal in the future, there will be no one to blame but yourself.

Taiko no Momo and Tohsaka Rin both turned their gazes toward Roy.

Undoubtedly, Roy is the true leader among them, and the decision on whether or not to destroy the Greater Grail rests with him. However, both Taikomochi and Rin Tohsaka believe that it is best to destroy the Greater Grail now.

Bathed in the gazes of the two men, Roy stared intently at the Greater Grail below.

He lowered his head, visibly lost in thought.

He seemed lost in thought, then looked up at the hole in the sky.

The hole opened by the return of the souls of eight Servants to Valhalla is still suspended in mid-air, maintained by the magic of the Greater Grail. It shows no signs of disappearing yet, and black mud can be seen flowing down from it.

“…Rider, I have an idea.”

Roy remained silent for a long time before slowly exhaling and raising his head with an extremely solemn expression.

"what?"

Taigong Wang stared intently at Roy.

His intuition told him that his Master probably had some very serious idea again.

"Throw me and the Aeon Grail into that hole!"

Roy pointed to a dark hole in the sky.

"What did you say?!"

"Are you kidding me!?"

Taikomochi and Tohsaka Rin both felt their vision go black and let out a startled cry.

Taigong Wang looked at him with a face full of surprise and doubt.

"Master, are you serious?"

"Roy, are you secretly researching the Sixth Law?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at him with an incredulous expression.

The hole may seem like a hole drilled in the world, but in essence it is a passage to the outside of the world, and at the end of that passage is the source that magicians have been dreaming of.

"No, of course I don't. Five spells is the limit. Theoretically, there is no such thing as a sixth spell."

Roy probably also felt that his idea was very far-fetched. He smiled somewhat reluctantly, but his expression was very firm.

"I just have a feeling that if I go inside, I should be able to find the answer."

"Answer?"

"What?"

"...all sorts of things, I suppose."

Roy pursed his lips and let out a soft sigh.

"For example, why did the world become like this? What is the purpose of the guy who is controlling all of this? Why is he targeting me..."

as well as.

The answer to why characters and things that don't belong to this world, such as Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hayasaka Ai, the Nakano sisters, and the artificial island in the Pacific Ocean, appear in this Type-Moon world is...

No.

To be honest, Roy did have his suspicions.

"Master, you haven't gone mad, have you?"

Seeing that Roy's expression was not joking, the old man asked him seriously.

"Of course, I am perfectly sober now."

Roy nodded matter-of-factly.

"You're not intentionally seeking death, are you?"

"Of course, as I said, I will no longer do anything to intentionally seek death."

"……I see."

Taigong Wang stared at Roy for a long time before letting out a sigh as if giving up.

"I can help you and the Greater Grail into that hole."

"Rider, why are you going crazy too!"

Rin Tohsaka glared at Taikomochi, feeling like she was going crazy from being with these two.

"But I have one condition."

Taigong Wang ignored her and instead spoke to Roy with a serious expression.

He wouldn't help if this condition wasn't met; that was written all over his face.

"What conditions?"

"I want to go in with you!"

"Of course I would be very happy to welcome this."

Roy paused for a moment before shrugging with a wry smile.
