As Hui carefully searched for information about the origin, she felt more and more that the origin was so much like the will of the world... Thinking this, an irrepressible longing welled up from the depths of her soul.
Hui already knows from Zouken Matou's memories that the Holy Grail War is a ritual leading to the Root.
The role of Heroic Spirits is simply to use the power of the Throne of Heroes outside the world after their death to create a hole in the world and connect it to the Root.
If it's just about escaping the world and reaching the outer realms, why would one need the Holy Grail? With the characteristics of the Void Soul, isn't it a very simple matter?
Therefore, Hui voluntarily "died" and returned to the state of a soul.
Then they successfully escaped the world.
However, Kei discovered that she had not gone to the source, but... another Fuyuki City.
Fuyuki City, which was also engaged in the Holy Grail War, even clashed with Saber from that world a few times.
In that instant, Hui understood.
This world is not a single world, but a whole composed of countless parallel worlds.
If Hui's original world was a simple single-celled organism, then this world is a multicellular organism, composed of countless parallel worlds.
Escaping from one parallel world doesn't lead to the origin, but rather to another parallel world.
Ultimately, to get to the root of the problem, we still need the special channel opened by the Holy Grail.
However, Kei had already added an extra layer of insurance: Sakura's Command Seals. Kei had never severed the connection between those Command Seals and herself, precisely so that she could return and continue down the path of the Holy Grail War.
Hui is back now.
This time, Hui plans to use the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, instead of actively stimulating the inhibitory force.
First, he faked his death to fool the others, making them fight to the death, and only then did he take action himself.
"Sister Hui, did Sakura help you?" Sakura stepped forward and hugged Hui, her little head nestled against Hui's waist, soft and yielding.
"Sakura has helped me a lot this time." Hui stroked Sakura's head. "Sakura must be tired too. Come on, let me take you to rest."
"Ah."
Hui led Xiaoying out of the alley and they searched for a hotel.
Hui's inner clothes remained unchanged, but a fluffy long robe was magically constructed on the outside, covering her from her neck to her calves, concealing her delicate body inside.
Even so, several distinguished-looking men still approached her along the way to chat.
Hui naturally ignored all of this.
Hui was holding Xiaoying's hand, and it looked like an older sister holding her younger sister's hand. So when the passing patrol officer saw this, he didn't come up to ask any questions. He just urged Hui to be careful when taking her younger sister home.
Due to the influx of residents into Chancheng, hotels were overcrowded. Hui searched for a long time before finding a hotel with available rooms in a remote area.
After booking the room, Sakura went to sleep, but insisted that Kei come with her.
Looking at Xiaoying's sweet, pleading eyes, Hui was immediately overcome with maternal instinct and nodded in agreement.
Two girls, one big and one small, were lying on the bed. They looked like sisters, but also seemed like mother and daughter.
Not long after, Kei sensed a powerful magical force erupting from the direction of Fuyuki City.
"Is it starting already?" Hui said with a mischievous smile.
"Sister Hui, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, Sakura, go to sleep."
"Mmm." Sakura snuggled closer to Hui, clinging to Hui's arm tightly.
She recalled the first time she saw Sister Hui that night; her beautiful and powerful figure had left an indelible impression on her, and even the most fearsome grandfather, Matou, could only lower his voice in deference.
She is usually very quiet, but that doesn't mean she knows nothing. On the contrary, after a year of living as a stepdaughter, she has learned a lot, such as: the weak must obey the strong and become someone of use to survive...

Chapter 402 Wei Yuanchuan
Wei Yuanchuan.
After the biting cold snap, a thick layer of ice formed on the river surface, reflecting the silvery moonlight like a mirror, giving it a somewhat sacred appearance, resembling a scene from mythology where a holy child descends.
On the Mien River Bridge that spans both banks, Ryunosuke and Caster stand in the middle of the bridge, gazing into the distance.
"It's so cold, sir. Is this the power of God?" Ryunosuke shivered, shivering from the cold.
After several days of brutal killings of children, it's now almost impossible to see any children in the entire city of Fuyuki.
Caster thus gained immense magical power, while Ryunosuke grew tired of torturing and killing children.
“Yes, Ryunosuke, this is the power of God.” Caster, lost in thought, spoke earnestly.
"I have done countless acts of the most rebellious and blasphemous things in human history."
But no matter how much I killed or how much I blasphemed, I received no divine punishment.
When I looked back, God had already allowed me to walk the path of evil for eight years.
I didn't understand before why God never punished me for my depravity.
But now, after seeing God take action himself, I suddenly realized!
It turns out that what I thought were wicked and unforgivable acts were utterly insignificant in God's eyes.
Look at this scene. The number of people I've killed in my entire life is less than one ten-millionth of what God could casually eliminate.
Ah, this is the limit of mortal existence.
Caster became depressed.
He wanted to fight the god, but after witnessing the immense power displayed by the god he believed to be Hui, he did not rush to fight Hui immediately. Instead, he hid in the shadows and accumulated power.
But now... it's not that he has enough accumulated magic power, but rather that his treasure [Snail Annihilation City Text] has reached its limit.
"Sir, are we really going to attack God?"
"Ryunosuke, are you scared?"
“How could that be?” Ryunosuke showed no fear whatsoever, but instead became excited. “Godslaying! Just hearing those two words makes my blood boil. I can’t wait to see how the internal organs of a god differ from those of a human.”
Caster was stunned: "Aren't you afraid we'll fail? You know, failure means death."
"Death?" Ryunosuke said calmly. "So be it. My art has reached its limit. Human organs can no longer give me any inspiration. If I can no longer feel the beauty of art in my future life, then I might as well die."
Ryunosuke's face turned fanatical: "And, sir, if I can die on the path of pursuing art, then whether I succeed or fail in the end, I will die without regrets!"
Caster stared at him in disbelief after hearing this.
After a long silence, he raised his hand and placed it on Ryunosuke's shoulder, solemnly saying, "Ryunosuke, you are the true seeker of the Way among mankind. In that case, let us show our resolve to the gods with our exceptionally vivid despair and wailing!"
……
In the dead of night, Hui was awakened by a distant "boom boom..." sound, like thunder.
He strolled to the window and looked towards Fuyuki City.
The area was shrouded in mist, and the outline of a colossal creature could be vaguely seen, estimated to be at least 300 meters tall. Flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across that massive silhouette.
"Whoosh..." Two America-class fighter jets flew over Zen City, heading towards the behemoth.
"Oh, the fighter jets are here." Hui watched the fighter jets fight the monster with great interest.
As a result, not long after the fighter jets flew into the fog, two explosions were heard. The flames from the explosions rose up and illuminated the dark night sky, like two bursting fireworks.
"Beautiful fireworks..."
Watching the two combat aircraft crash, Hui was bored and prepared to turn over and go to sleep.
Hui wasn't worried about the monster at all; after all, it would be too disappointing if the other heroic spirits couldn't even handle it.
Just as Hui was about to turn around, "whoosh—", a golden light pierced the night, as if a pair of scissors had cleaved the entire black sky in two. The light cut the enormous creature in two from top to bottom. In an instant, the world seemed to brighten, and the mist that shrouded Fuyuki City dissipated. The enormous creature had vanished without a trace.
"This light... is it Saber's sword?" Hui murmured softly.
She learned from Lancelot's memories that the rising sword in Saber's hand had an extraordinary origin. It could transform the wielder's magical power into light, increase momentum through convergence and acceleration, and then be emitted from the tip of the sword like a laser beam as it was swung downwards, thereby destroying everything. Its scale and destructive power were classified as "anti-city Noble Phantasm".
"That's some serious power!"
……
Wei Yuanchuan.
Caster's form vanished into nothingness in the brilliance of [Ex-calibur], leaving no trace.
The second true departing hero has appeared tonight.
After Hui faked her death, the unsuspecting Caster continued to summon the Great Sea Demon, whose evil aura aroused the wrath of a group of heroic spirits.
Caster's unbridled use of magic also drew hostility from traditional magicians such as Tokiomi and Kenneth.
Several factions tacitly agreed to send servants to attack Caster.
The battle is now over, and the scene is a mess. From the sky, it looks as if a piece of the river has been dug out, revealing the riverbed mixed with mud and sand underneath.
Several huge blocks of ice, each about ten meters long, crashed onto the road and lawn on the shore, creating a huge crater. There were human remains and bright red bloodstains around many of the craters, all of which were caused by curiosity.
Several nearby residential buildings were also damaged, broken in half by large chunks of ice and collapsed into ruins.
On the ice, Saber looked dashing after using [Ex-calibur], but the weariness between her brows was undeniable.
Because of Hui's influence, Caster was not disturbed by other Heroic Spirits this time, and could capture children to replenish his magic power. Therefore, the giant sea monster summoned this time was two or three times stronger than in the original work, both in terms of size and self-healing ability.
Therefore, Saber's [Ex-calibur] must be stronger, and naturally, it consumes more magic power.
"That was a brilliant move!" Lancer praised without reservation. "I look forward to our duel in the future."
Lancer put away his only remaining Noble Phantasm, the Crimson Rose of Exorcism; he had already broken the other one, the Yellow Rose of Annihilation, with his own hands.
“No need to wait, Lancer, we can finish the duel we didn’t finish before right now.” Saber raised her sword.
Lancer shook his head: "No, you're too exhausted right now. This kind of battle isn't fair to you."
"Lancer, don't misunderstand. I chose to fight now simply to prevent my guilt from slowing down my sword strikes," Saber said solemnly. "In other words, this is my strongest moment!"
Lancer was deeply moved, thinking to himself: He truly deserves to be called the King of Knights, renowned for his chivalry.
The two looked at each other and immediately felt a deep mutual respect, a recognition of each other's chivalrous spirit.
The two assumed a fighting stance, their bodies tense, as if they were about to charge at each other at any moment.
