Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

Even though they've become "Heroic Spirits," they still have to abide by the rules of duels, which is honestly a bit strange.

He can only keep 6 cards in his hand at a time. He cannot draw new cards unless he covers them up or uses them.

Exclude the unused [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and the already summoned [Time Magician].

The remaining [Skill Extraction] and [Attack Power Nullification] effects have been covered up.

Including the two cards given to Sakura Kyoko, he can slowly "draw" 5 new cards using the stored magic.

In this war, only by obtaining the card that can turn the tide of battle can we possibly defeat those humanoid monsters.

"I apologize for summoning you all here so late at night."

"However, due to an emergency, we need your assistance."

Kotomine Risa stood inside the church, looking at the familiars that had been dispatched around her, and then solemnly declared.

"We received news this evening that an ordinary human has been killed by a Servant."

"After investigation, it was found that it was done by Lancer, who fought against Assassin."

"Such acts are especially heinous, so I implore you all to eliminate such evil people and prevent more people from being harmed."

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. I will issue a Command Spell to every Master who participates in the siege."

After he finished speaking, the familiars who had come to observe also relayed his words back.

Although this act was utterly despicable, Kotomine Risei didn't care about the opinions of these people.

After all, the problems will be exposed sooner or later. As for whether they will be revealed later?

That doesn't matter at all.

In any case, under the guise of neutrality, he issued a nominal summons.

Who wouldn't be happy to accept something so simple that benefits everyone except Lancer?

As the saying goes, all the world's hustle and bustle is for profit.

The fact that you can get Command Seals for free by defeating Lancer is undoubtedly a huge win for the Master.

Therefore, even if they suspect something is amiss, a smart person wouldn't speak out; they would simply remain silent and support Kotomine Risei's actions.

Chapter 32: Masters and Servants, each with their own agendas!

"Rider, do you believe this is true?"

"Oh? That's rare. You don't care about the reward at all, but instead doubt what the people in the church are saying."

Inside the residence, Weber was talking with Lelouch.

"I won't be as naive as I used to be."

"Of course I know that you can't judge a book by its cover!"

Upon hearing this, Weber anxiously retorted.

"Ha, don't you already know the answer in your heart?"

Without answering Waver's question, Lelouch simply chuckled.

"You're so long-winded! I just wanted to confirm something with you."

Indeed, Waver had his own judgment, but perhaps due to a lack of confidence, he honestly sought confirmation from Lelouch.

After all, the other person's thinking and answer will definitely be more correct than yours.

"There's no need for that."

"You are an outstanding talent; being overly concerned with trivial matters will only make you anxious and insecure."

"Sometimes, having full confidence in yourself is what a mature person should do."

Lelouch, not caring at all about the cause and effect of this matter, leaned back on the sofa and responded.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Weber breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his earlier judgment had been correct.

He now understands Kenneth's "good intentions".

Compared to Rider's "laissez-faire" parenting style, he would much rather encounter Kenneth's "scolding" style of education.

The former only warns you after you've already fallen into a trap, while the latter bluntly criticizes you as "stupid" before you've even taken any action.

Fortunately, Rider does indeed cover for him, so even if he makes mistakes or errors, it's not a big problem.

"And there's no need to remain skeptical about this matter."

“Since the church says Lancer violated the code by killing ordinary people, then even if she didn’t do it, she did.”

"Therefore, it is pointless to dwell on right and wrong."

Clearly understanding the importance of having a voice, Lelouch then spoke up to explain.

"But."

Weber felt a little uncomfortable; as an upright young man, he found it hard to accept such an "arrangement."

They arbitrarily pinned a crime on an innocent person and then encouraged others to take action under the guise of reward.

Such willful and reckless behavior

It's too much!

With his fists clenched and trembling, Weber naturally couldn't bring himself to comply.

"So you people are always too kind in peacetime."

"I'm not from ancient times, so of course I can't accept your practice of 'if the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die'!"

"Arbitrarily accusing someone of a fabricated crime and then killing them, leaving them to die with a stigma."

"How could I possibly understand such a thing!"

For once, Webber stood firm, then slapped his hand across the face before retorting in a booming voice.

"Heh, that's right."

"That's why the world needs people like you."

"If it were always those selfish guys with dark thoughts, the world would have been destroyed long ago."

Upon hearing this, Lelouch laughed heartily without any regard for his image, clapped his hands, stood up, walked up to him, and said.

He didn't dislike Weber, a man of integrity.

Just like his former self, he was filled with "anger" at the Holy British Empire, which was committing atrocities.

"Uh"

Weber was taken aback, sensing the other party's approval.

"Don't panic when something like this happens."

"Only seeing the surface of things will cause you to overlook the real goal."

Walking up to a table with a chessboard, Lelouch picked up a chess piece and gave a reminder.

"The real goal?"

(Could it be that this gathering has another purpose besides targeting Lancer?)

Calming down, Weber tilted his head in confusion.

"Think about it carefully, if we really participate in the crackdown on Lancer, who will benefit?"

"Yes, the reward is Command Seals, which are given to the Masters who participated."

One voice rang out again, and Weber was well aware of the vested interests.

"It seems like the reward is fair to everyone, but you also know that Lancer may not have done that, so why did the church issue a mission to hunt her down?"

"Lancer's Master is already dead, and his departure was only a matter of time. There's no need for the Church to target this Servant, is there?"

"So their target wasn't Lancer from the beginning; they were just using Lancer and the Command Seals as bait to lure out their real opponent."

"Excluding the already exposed 'you and me,' 'Saber and Kiritsugu Emiya,' the two groups of Assassin and Archer, and Lancer who became the target of harm..."

"The only remaining targets are Caster and Berserker."

Upon hearing Lelouch's explanation, Waver felt a sense of sudden realization and admiration.

"Caster is definitely not their most pressing opponent right now. In other words..."

"Are they trying to lure out Berserker's Master by offering a reward?"

Having figured out his own thoughts, Weber was now aware of what was to come.

That all-powerful berserker is definitely a worthy opponent to be wary of, and even Waver and the others do not yet know who this Servant's Master is.

Thinking about it this way, it's only natural that Archer and Assassin's Masters would conspire with the Church's overseers to carry out such a scheme.
