“——!” Emiya Kiritsugu’s pupils shrank slightly: “I didn’t expect you to investigate to this extent.”

"Is that the Command Seal on the back of your hand?" Orochimaru's snake eyes looked at the Command Seal on the back of Emiya Kiritsugu's right hand and said, "You got this Command Seal so early. It should be related to the three great families. It seems that the lawless magician killer in the past has joined one side."

"Ah, I originally wanted to use the Holy Grail to realize my dream, but unfortunately the Holy Grail is no longer usable." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "But I am not ready to give up this idea, so I thought of you. If it's you, maybe there is a way."

"What a shame." Orochimaru opened his arms and said, "The Holy Grail is already a product that is infinitely close to magic. It is not a big deal if it is disintegrated, but it is almost impossible to purify the contents inside and use them again with the methods of modern magicians."

"You can't do it either?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned. If that's the case, then the first step is to dismantle the Holy Grail War and prevent the Holy Grail War seven years later from spilling out its contents.

"I didn't say I couldn't."

"? Didn't you say"

"Indeed, that is not something that modern magicians can do." Orochimaru said with a smile, "But I never said that my magic belongs to the field of modern magic. In addition, I have had ideas about the Holy Grail for a long time. It may be a coincidence. Although I can't complete the purification of the Holy Grail, I have completed the preparations for making a new Holy Grail."

“——!?” Emiya Kiritsugu’s eyes widened, and then his expression immediately became serious: “What do you want to gain from this?”

"The third magic, soul materialization." Orochimaru said with a smile: "I may have never told you that I have lived for a long time. In this process, my soul has gradually decayed, so I need that magic."

"And I also care about the existence of Servants." Orochimaru said: "Let's cooperate. No matter what your dream is, your chances of success will be greater if you cooperate with me, right?"

"How are you going to do it?"

"It's very simple. Seal up the polluted magic power that is currently gathered in Fuyuki City, then take out the clean Holy Grail core and find a spiritual vein to gather magic power again."

“Then America.”

Emiya Kiritsugu said: "If we use the local spiritual veins in the United States, we may be able to quickly form the Holy Grail, and we won't have to wait for sixty years."

"America?" Orochimaru said, "Then I'll leave the choice of the spiritual vein to you. Cooperating with a famous magician killer like you will increase my chances of winning. Let me look forward to it."

Chapter 261 The Holy Grail Disappears

Chapter 5: The Disappearance of the Holy Grail

U.S--

Emiya Kiritsugu was holding a box in his hand and searching for spiritual vein nodes in various places.

'Is this really okay?'

Emiya Kiritsugu recalled the scene he encountered when he met Orochimaru before -

Even if we find the node of the spiritual vein, how can we arrange the Holy Grail?

The answer is a special kind of "familiar" created by Orochimaru, a creature that looks like a garlic sprout and has ten tails. This creature has only one eye, and it has circles of patterns with several magatama on it.

The name is 'Ten Tails'

It is large enough to fit into a suitcase, and as long as these ten tails are buried near the spiritual vein nodes, the magic power in the spiritual veins can be quickly gathered.

If such a "Ten Tails" could be deployed throughout the United States, then when Orochimaru transferred the emptied Holy Grail here, he could quickly gather magic power from all over the United States.

Forming a super-large-scale Holy Grail.

It is far more massive than the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. The Holy Grail War ritual at that time will not only involve summoning seven Servants, but as a price.

This Holy Grail will be 'more omnipotent', in the sense that it can grant all human wishes in general, making it far more powerful than the one in Fuyuki City, and the Holy Grail will most likely be able to grant the wishes of more than just one person.

If the gathered magical power is large enough, even the wishes of seven people can be realized, and only some minor adjustments will be needed.

"This will fully realize my ideal." Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself: "If it fails, the United States will suffer a huge blow and lose its position as the world's hegemon. It will not be able to continue to stir up trouble in other places. The world situation may be in chaos, but it will definitely be better than it is now."

'And if I succeed, I can realize my wish and bring world peace!'

This will be a battle that will be in his favor regardless of victory or defeat.

What he needs to do next is to deploy the 'Ten Tails' at the spiritual vein nodes across the United States, and at the same time look for the other five allies besides Orochimaru.

After all, the next Holy Grail War is likely to develop into countless battles of 7 vs. 7 vs. 7.

According to Orochimaru, the original Holy Grail had the function of summoning fourteen Servants, and it is completely unknown how many Servants this enlarged version of the Holy Grail can summon.

As the initiator, he will seize the initiative and must find suitable teammates in the process - although Kiritsugu Emiya does not care much about this. In his opinion, the so-called teammates are there to be sold and to take the blame.

But if everyone else has allies, he would be in a disadvantageous position if he fights alone, and this situation must be avoided.

Fuyuki City.

As one of the three great families, the Tōsaka family naturally had a way to obtain the 'Command Seals' in advance. The Command Seals on the back of Tōsaka Tokiomi's hand already existed.

At this time, there are still several years before the Holy Grail War begins.

It's not just him.

This is true for the Matou, Tousaka, and Einzbern families.

Tōsaka Tokiomi calmly waited for the Holy Grail War to begin, while collecting holy relics in the hope of finding the most suitable one to summon the strongest Servant.

The long-cherished wish of the Tousaka family will be fulfilled in his generation - that's what he thought.

However, things seemed to have changed, and the Command Seal on the back of Tōsaka Tokiomi's hand disappeared.

"Yes, the Command Seals appeared here." Kotomine Li was lifting up his sleeves and said, "Just tonight, when I was sleeping, I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my arm. When I came to my senses, I found that there were six more Command Seals on it."

"Six Paths. What's going on?" Toosaka Tokiomi was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked.

"I don't know." Yan Fengli shook his head as if he had his eyes closed: "This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. I have no idea why it happened."

"The Command Seals have disappeared. Are the other three besides me Einzbern? Or are they Matou?" Tōsaka Tokiomi pondered for a moment: "It seems worthwhile to investigate."

"Then I'll help too." Kotomine Lizheng stood up, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "After all, I can't come here for nothing. It took me a long time to get from Italy to Japan."

"Ah, then please." Toosaka Tokiomi stood up with a smile: "The Matou family probably doesn't know this news yet, so we have seized the initiative. Although, the Matou family may not be able to participate in this Holy Grail War."

Matou Tsuruno is too useless, and Matou Kariya has given up the path of magic.

It’s impossible for the old man who has difficulty walking to go on stage alone, right?

"Well, I have a bad feeling."

This premonition soon became a reality.

Since we want to investigate the events that occurred during the Holy Grail War, the first place we should go is naturally the underground spiritual vein managed by the Tohsaka family, since it is relatively close.

However, Tōsaka Tokiomi had investigated this place himself before, and there was no change, so there was no problem.

This time, the two of them are going to the place where the "Great Holy Grail" is located, the large underground cave of Ryudo Temple.

Then after arriving here, the two immediately fell into silence.

The place where the Holy Grail was supposed to be was empty.

The 'Holy Grail' made by the three great families had completely disappeared at this time, as if it did not exist anywhere. Tōsaka Tokiomi finally understood.

Why did the Command Spell disappear?

Because the Holy Grail has been stolen!

"Who did this?" Yanfeng Lizheng opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the traces around him. They had completely disappeared, and there were no signs of digging around.

To achieve this and take away such a huge amount of magic power, it is definitely not possible to do it quietly.

That should have required a lot of energy and financial resources, and caused a huge sensation!

Toosaka Tokiomi didn't say anything, but his chin kept shaking, and the hand holding the jewel staff was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to crush the gem.

'grace.'

'grace.'

Tōsaka Tokiomi kept saying this to himself in his heart, and after a long while he slowly let out a long sigh: "It seems that someone has indeed stolen the Holy Grail. If so, this matter is not something I can handle. I must contact Matou and Einzbern. We must sit down together again to understand what happened."

"Of course, I will stand on your side." Kotomine Risei sighed and said, "The Holy Church will also intervene in the investigation. Depending on how the Holy Grail is used, it is very likely to become a weapon that threatens the safety of the world. In any case, we cannot let it fall into the hands of unknown people!"

Chapter 262 The Three Imperial Families Gather

Chapter 6: The Three Imperial Families Gather

It is actually very simple to transfer the Holy Grail, and Orochimaru chose the "simplest" method, which was to hollow out the entire underground of Ryudo Temple.

Transfer the Holy Grail to your own space.

Afterwards, all the magic power that had been contaminated and turned into black mud was extracted, leaving only the main body of the Holy Grail.

Then try to inject magic power into it, and make sure there is no contamination left before ending.

As for the black mud with six billion shares of malicious intent, Orochimaru imitated Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Ame-no-Minaka and used his own immense chakra to create a world where only black mud existed.

In this way, once he encounters the need to fight or faces certain enemies, he can pull his opponent into this space.

Because of the power of his Zanpakuto, he could choose to accept or not accept the contamination of the black mud. Of course, he chose not to accept it.

In this way, once the battle begins in this space, the opponent will be under this huge malicious curse all the time, while you yourself will not be affected at all.

As we all know, local DEBUFF is equal to its own BUFF.

Moreover, in his opinion, six billion people's malicious intent was still too little. For example, Gilgamesh would not be affected at all. But what if these six billion became sixty billion, six hundred billion, or six trillion?

A world formed by endless malice and where only malice exists was created in his hands. As soon as this world was created, it began to absorb the malice of the entire world and began to grow spontaneously.

However, in Orochimaru's opinion, this efficiency is still too low. The current amount of black mud may not be able to double in ten years. After all, it is actually "only this world" that can be absorbed: "As expected, the attribute of imaginary numbers is still needed. With the current strength, if we can have the attribute of imaginary numbers, it will be easier to radiate to other parallel worlds and absorb the malice from other parallel worlds. The efficiency will be accelerated countless times."

When it comes to imaginary number attributes, Orochimaru thinks of Sakura Matou, or now Sakura Tousaka.

But here comes the problem - there are still seven years before the original start of the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Toosaka Sakura will be six years old when the Fourth Holy Grail War begins, so she should be one year old.

In other words, Sakura Toosaka hasn't been born yet.

Moreover, since Orochimaru came to this world, he had already influenced Emiya Kiritsugu, and the Holy Grail was dug out by him, so Tōsaka Tokiomi should have also discovered it.

He may not have the energy to create humans.

If this world did not exist, there would be one less person with imaginary number attributes.

And even if they try to have a baby, the resulting child may be different due to differences in time and place.

"It all depends on the situation." Orochimaru was not in a hurry.

If you think about it carefully, this world has many ways to travel through parallel worlds.

There is no need to talk about the possibility of imaginary number attributes. Apart from this, there is also the gem sword.

Toosaka Rin can use the jewel sword to harness the magic power of other worlds, so can all the evil in this world use the jewel sword to absorb the malice of other worlds?

'But it will take some time to realize this.'

Compared to these, Orochimaru is more interested in the third magic - the materialization of the soul. He just doesn't know how different it is from the spirit of the god of death.

He was also very interested in the structure of the Holy Grail.

Having used the character template of Kurotsuchi Mayuri before and now using the character template of Orochimaru, he was very interested in this kind of thing.

Want to study it as much as possible.

In the large underground cave of Ryudo Temple in Fuyuki City, three people were standing side by side. The scene seemed to have gone back hundreds of years, making Matou Zouken feel dazed.

These three people are none other than Eubusta Kuhaid von Einzbern, Matou Zouken, and Tōsaka Tokiomi.

“Hahahahahaha, I didn’t expect that after hundreds of years, our three families would gather here again.”

"Well, if possible, I would rather not have this kind of gathering." Yubusta Kuhaid looked at the big hole in front of him and said, "When did the Holy Grail disappear?"

"Just a few days before I contacted you." Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "At that time I found that the Command Seal had disappeared, and then I did some investigation, but there was no result."

"Oh, was it the Tohsaka family that contacted you, Einzbern? Didn't you recruit that magician killer?" Matou Zouken said, staring at his eyes, "He should have also noticed that the Command Seal has disappeared."

"As expected of Machili, even though it has declined so much, it can still find out such information?" Yubusta Kuhaid frowned when he saw the withered appearance of Kirizo Yan at this time.

He looked at the completely different Matou Zouken from the memories passed down by Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern: "You don't need to worry about Einzbern's affairs, but you are really depraved, Machiri, what is your wish? What is the reason for your desire for the Holy Grail?"

"Hahahahaha, what a boring question. Is there any need to explain this? Of course it is immortal. Just look at this body and you will know. It is decaying every minute and every second, emitting a foul stench. Even the wisdom accumulated over the years is constantly being lost. You can't understand this kind of pain, right?"

"That's enough, Makiri." Because of the 'different model', he didn't have as many related memories imprinted, but he still felt a sense of sadness: "It seems that the long years have broken your will and made you forget your past persistence."

"It turns out that humans don't live longer the better."

Toosaka Tokiomi listened to the two people talking left and right, and they revealed a lot of "secrets" that he didn't know. After all, no matter how much the Toosaka family passed down the family motto, they could only pass on a little information.

Unlike the Matou family, Matou Zouken did not die at the beginning.

They are not like the Einzbern, they don't need to learn specifically, the information of their ancestors is already imprinted on their bodies.

Tōsaka Tokiomi looked like a middle-aged man—and he was actually a middle-aged man.
