The United States is directly or indirectly involved in 80% of all wars in the world, and many people can investigate this.

On the surface, the remaining 20% ​​has nothing to do with the United States. However, when he used his own connections and magician-level methods to investigate, he found that "the remaining 20% ​​more or less has some trace of the United States."

'Not only that, even in peaceful countries, the United States is constantly stirring up chaos in these countries. 'Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the information in front of him and thought in his heart: 'For example, what the person who lives in the memory of 2021 saw. '

'They incite national division. As long as the regime in a country is not pro-American, they use various means to force the government to step down and replace it with a pro-American regime. In this process, war often occurs.'

'And the US troops stationed around the world continue to commit various crimes. For example, in Japan, these countries cannot conduct trials at all due to the incomplete sovereignty. No matter whether it is murder, robbery, rape, etc., there is no punishment at all.'

'They are simply another group of magicians. After all, magicians themselves are a group that is not bound by the law, and the same is true for the US troops stationed around the world.'

"There is no doubt that this country is a gathering place for evil. If this regime is destroyed, can the world be at peace?" Emiya Kiritsugu fell into deep thought.

If you think about it carefully, the West can be said to be "anti-human" in all aspects, from religion to civilization. This is something that Kiritsugu Emiya had never noticed before.

But when he has another way of thinking, he will naturally discover this point with "dialectical thinking" - they are not hiding anything at all.

Their anti-human ideas have never been concealed, they are just covered with a layer of "civilized" cloak.

Most of what Emiya Kiritsugu had investigated were revealed by themselves.

However, he had to admit one thing. No matter how bad the United States was, it led an international order. Once the leader fell, the Third World War would likely break out as others fought to divide the cake.

I don’t know how many people will die by then. Times are different now. If the Third World War really breaks out now, perhaps a scene that has appeared in many literary and artistic works will occur.

Humanity is heading towards extinction in a nuclear war.

"We can't destroy the United States so radically, but we can't do nothing either. It's best to let the United States' strength decline greatly and naturally give up the current 'hegemonism'." Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself: "Compared to hegemonism, the country where the soul that was put into my mind by the fairy's prank is located is not bad. If the community of human destiny is that country, it may lead the world peace."

But this kind of thing is not just about weakening the boss, it also requires helping the ones behind to grow quickly. He is not prepared to wait for twenty or thirty years.

For such a long time, so many countries around the world are still caught up in war, and I don’t know how many people will die as a result.

He needs to shorten this time and avoid this kind of thing from happening.

"Perhaps we can steal the advanced technology from the United States, but the United States is not a magician, and it is not that easy to deal with. My origin bullet is also mainly targeted at magicians. For ordinary people, it is just a simple high-powered bullet."

"We have to rethink it. "

but--

Before that, he needed to investigate the details of the Holy Grail, his opponent in this Holy Grail War, and understand why he failed.

Because if the power of the Holy Grail can fulfill his wishes, bring world peace and eliminate disputes, then all his current ideas will be meaningless.

'When human power is beyond reach, we crave for a more powerful possibility. That is the so-called Deus ex Machina. The Holy Grail is that Deus ex Machina. What I need to do is to first determine whether the possibility of Deus ex Machina exists, or whether I can only give up the fantasy and prepare for the struggle.'

If it hadn't come to the last moment, Emiya Kiritsugu would not have given up his fantasy.

Chapter 259: Prepare for the Struggle

Chapter 3 Preparing for Struggle

Although he wanted to investigate the truth of the Holy Grail, Emiya Kiritsugu did not go to find 'Ubusta Kuhaid'.

Since he was not told at the very beginning, this person would not tell him even if there was any problem with the Holy Grail.

So he chose to use another method.

Investigate the truth of the Holy Grail with the help of 'Irisviel'.

Irisviel's model of 'artificial human' carries the memories of the past, including the memories of 'Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern', the 'Saint of Winter', but the past has never been awakened.

Likewise, we all know what the participants of the Holy Grail War in the past encountered and went through.

All Emiya Kiritsugu had to do was awaken that memory.

"What about the Holy Grail Wars in the past?" Irisviel looked at her husband with some curiosity and said, "But all the Holy Grail Wars in the past failed, so there shouldn't be any reference value, right?"

"No, there is." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "The so-called Holy Grail's fundamental purpose is to materialize the soul, this great magic, but depending on how to use it, it can also be used as a wishing cup. The question is whether this function still exists."

"What do you mean?" Alice said with some doubt.

"The Holy Grail now only has the ability to materialize souls, but the function of making wishes no longer exists or has been distorted." Emiya Kiritsugu said: "I can't ask Eubusta Kuhaid about this matter, so I can only ask you."

"Yes." Irisviel said with a smile: "The materialization of souls can be said to be the long-cherished wish of our Einzbern for thousands of years, but it is not yours, nor mine. All I pray for is that your wish can come true."

"In that case, it seems necessary to understand the situation of the Holy Grail." Irisviel nodded and said, "Then hold my hand, Kiritsugu. Let's explore that memory together."

That being said, there are limits to what can be seen.

After all, while Shirou Emiya was relying on Illya's power, he was also in the spiritual vein of Fuyuki, which carried related memories.

But even putting all that aside, Irisviel was able to learn a lot of information about the previous Holy Grail War.

Soon, a large amount of information was learned by the two.

The First Holy Grail War, the Second Holy Grail War, and the Third Holy Grail War, which were only roughly known in the past, are now connected together through Irisviel's ability.

This allowed Emiya Kiritsugu to have some related memories.

After that, he focused on the Third Holy Grail War: "Sure enough. Is this the focus?"

"Is this the point where the Avengers diverge in the Third Holy Grail War?" Emiya Kiritsugu said, "From the results, the one who was first absorbed by the Lesser Holy Grail has realized his wish, and has gone from being a symbol to becoming the true 'all the evil in this world'. In other words, the Holy Grail is now..."

"That means," Irisviel said worriedly, "We can no longer fulfill that wish?"

"That's not certain." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Theoretically, since Avenger can pollute the Holy Grail, there must be some Heroic Spirit that can purify the Holy Grail. The magic power of the Holy Grail itself has not decreased. The problem is that this magic power has deteriorated."

"In other words, as long as we can gather all this magic power again," Emiya Kiritsugu said, and stopped talking. What is theoretically possible is, in other words, 'almost impossible in reality'.

There are so many heroes in the world, he must accurately find the one that can accomplish this and then summon it out.

The question is who can do it?

He didn't even know who it was.

However, as long as the opportunity exists, Emiya Kiritsugu will never give it up.

"I have an idea, but it requires a trip to Fuyuki City, where the Holy Grail is." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "We can go over there to see the specific situation and then make a judgment."

"Is that so?" Irisviel paused: "What about Illya?"

"Of course I'll take her with me, but I can't let Ubusta Kuhaid know about this, including the idea of ​​taking Illya away. He will never agree to it."

To the rest of the Einzbern, it didn't matter whether the Holy Grail was tainted or not.

As long as we reach the root, it doesn’t matter how polluted it becomes in the process or what the world becomes.

"Next, I will follow the original plan and go out to gather other participants in this Holy Grail War. Then I will go to Fuyuki City for a field trip and meet someone by the way."

"Meeting someone?"

"Ah, a magician, a very dangerous man." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "His name is Orochimaru."

Since Chen Xuan was able to inject his soul into Kiritsugu Emiya and have him devour it, he could naturally also use another method to replace part of his memory, so it was naturally not difficult.

He needed to watch Emiya Kiritsugu's development from the sidelines.

Because it's fun.

The investigation in Fuyuki City was quick, and Emiya Kiritsugu arrived not long after he set out. Then, based on previous intelligence, he found the Greater Holy Grail located underground in Fuyuki City.

Because the Holy Grail War is approaching, one can feel that there is a large amount of magical power here.

The magic furnace core is gathering magic power that seems to have materialized. Putting aside the composition of the Holy Grail, this magic power alone can be called the top-level magic furnace core, the kind that cannot be bought with any amount of money.

But probably no one would do that.

"Is it because the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet that we can't tell anything?" Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself as he looked at the huge reactor in front of him, "The purification method is not realistic in this case, but we can use this Holy Grail to attract the attention of others."

If the Holy Grail War happened in a place like the United States, especially a big city like New York.

If we can penetrate the U.S. government in the war and destroy all the Democratic and Republican parties, even if the top leaders of organizations in this era die, they can be immediately filled.

But what if the upper layer and everything after it is destroyed as well?

Especially nuclear bombs, if the US nuclear arsenal can be destroyed

"This Holy Grail should be able to do this, but it is not something that can be done by summoning seven Heroic Spirits. The Holy Grail War must be expanded in scale."

There are only two ways to do this.

One would summon a Servant right now, and take a gamble by summoning Caster. If it were a magician from the Age of Gods, he might have his own way.

Another option is to ask Orochimaru.

Although not many people know him, in Emiya Kiritsugu's opinion, he can be said to be the magus closest to the field of magic.

Chapter 260 Cooperation

Chapter 4 Cooperation

Orochimaru's 'magic workshop' is located in the forest.

There were almost no people living nearby, it could be said to be a rural area within a rural area. There were many snakes on the mountain, and for some reason they could not be caught completely, so they simply gave up this piece of land.

Not many people know what is hidden underground.

According to Kiritsugu Emiya's 'memories', he met 'Orochimaru' on a battlefield in the past. He assassinated magicians, and he collected magicians as 'experimental materials'.

So the two of them started doing some business.

Emiya Kiritsugu could exchange some things from him using the corpses of those magicians, magic seals, and the like.

Originally, Kiritsugu Emiya was planning to make a deal before the Holy Grail War began. In his memory, Orochimaru had a lot of useful things.

If used well, it would have a huge impact on the war.

"From what I know, Orochimaru is very good at studying spiritual veins and earth veins. His family may have conducted research based on this and wanted to rely on this aspect to get to the root. In this case, he may have a different view on the Holy Grail War."

The problem is other.

Orochimaru is very dangerous. Will he be tempted after learning about the existence of the Holy Grail?

This is what Kiritsugu Emiya needs to guard against, so he prepared the Origin Bullet, a weapon that can kill a magician with one blow.

No matter how strong the magus is, no, or quite the opposite, the stronger the magus is, the worse he will suffer from this blow.

"His-"

With his hand on a tree, Kiritsugu Emiya walked into the forest, listening to the sounds around him, and saw two snakes looking at him.

But Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care.

'Orochimaru', just like the name suggests, his familiar is a snake.

He is very good at breeding and using various snakes. Almost all the snakes on this mountain are his servants. He will discover outsiders the moment they appear here.

But precisely because of this, he doesn't need to do anything else unnecessary, he just needs to follow along.

In addition to snakes, there is also a natural barrier around this mountain.

This barrier does not involve any magic or supernatural power. It is a place that is [naturally generated], so it is difficult to identify it even with magic.

And the one responsible for leading the way is a snake.

Emiya Kiritsugu naturally followed, and soon a cave appeared in front of him.

The interior of the cave uses an ancient mechanism design.

It is neither magic nor modern technology. When it is turned on, there is a sound of gears turning, and then what appears in front of you is a dim corridor and the figure hidden in the darkness.

"Hehe, we haven't seen each other for a while." Orochimaru looked at Emiya Kiritsugu who came in and said, "I heard that you are no longer a mercenary, so this time..."

"Of course I'm prepared." Emiya Kiritsugu pointed to the box he had pulled over: "It's inside."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Come here then, what do you want this time?"

Orochimaru said as he walked in front.

Although it looks rough from the outside, once you go inside you can see a variety of "laboratories" equipped with all kinds of modern equipment.

Of course, in reality these are just for show, Orochimaru has already transferred the real experiments to his own space, the ones here are just for show to demonstrate his identity. Of course, even if they are just for show, it depends on who you are comparing with.

The things inside are undoubtedly treasures for the magicians of this world.

"Have you heard of the Holy Grail War?" Emiya Kiritsugu said as he walked.

"The one in Fuyuki City?"

“You know.”

"Of course." Orochimaru raised his lips slightly: "After all, it is one of the products closest to magic in this world. Even if you put this aside, it is an almost omnipotent wish-granting machine. But unfortunately, it can no longer be used."
