"Already rescued?!" Shirou Emiya asked Morpheus in surprise.
"Yes, he was rescued. I originally hoped that you would come to rescue him, but unfortunately, some accidents happened." Morpheus' tone seemed a little helpless. He asked Shirou Emiya to rescue the person personally. This was originally the best way for the child to treat his mental illness, but it failed to materialize.
"No, it doesn't matter who rescued them. I know what you're thinking. I'm already very happy to hear that they were rescued." Emiya Shirou smiled and shook his head, then asked with some confusion: "Did something unexpected happen?"
"Among the extra servants summoned this time, one is extremely dangerous!"
"Very dangerous?"
Morpheus looked at Cuchulainn and asked, "What would you do if you found an ordinary person?"
Cu Chulainn said: "Well, it depends on the situation. If the Master's request is not to reveal my whereabouts, I will choose to silence them, but if possible, I don't want to attack ordinary people."
Morpheus looked at Altria again: "What about you?"
Altria frowned and said, "If possible, I hope to have a good discussion with the Master to see if there are any other ways to solve this problem, such as arresting the person and locking him up first."
Morpheus looked at Medea again, and Medea smiled and said, "I imprisoned my Master for those children."
Medea had already talked about her master's affairs this time, so everyone knew what she was talking about. It could be said to be the most typical case of "sacrificing one's comrades for a group of unrelated people."
But no matter what, this shows that the other party is indeed a person with her own bottom line, and Medea is willing to take ruthless measures to protect her children.
So Morpheus took one last look at Medusa.
Medusa didn't have much affection for humans, but she didn't have any ill feelings either. She just shrugged and said, "I obey the Master's orders, but I have no interest in killing people at will."
Morpheus smiled and said, "There's no need to look at Hercules. He's a berserker now and only obeys the Master's orders. As for the Master's words..." Morpheus looked at Illya, who immediately said, "I'm not a murderer! Unless they provoke me!"
"Look, even Illya, who barely received a normal education, has no interest in killing people. But that guy, Giles, with his soul paranoid because of certain things, and his consciousness twisted by contact with things he shouldn't have been exposed to, doesn't care about killing at all.
"Rather, they enjoy the pleasure of killing, especially making the deceased experience extreme fear and despair before death. He really enjoys this.
"So after I knew the magician who appeared this time was this guy, I had to take direct action to prevent him from using those people in the church as sacrifices."
"Sacrifice?" Shirou Emiya was still a little confused. He certainly knew that sacrifices were extremely bad things, but he didn't understand why they had to be sacrifices. Hadn't the price of servant summoning been paid by the Holy Grail?
"That's Giles's Noble Phantasm." Artoria, who participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, explained, "That Noble Phantasm is terrifying. It possesses immense magical power within itself, drawing it from vast sources. By relying on offerings like sacrifices, it can perform terrifying summoning techniques, summoning the gigantic monsters recorded within the Noble Phantasm!
"At that time, in order to deal with this monster, even several formerly hostile Servants temporarily united. If he had been allowed to summon it regardless of the cost, he might have directly sacrificed the entire city and summoned a monster that no one could deal with!"
Morpheus smiled and said, "It's not that bad actually. As long as you find the right opportunity, you can even guide the summoned thing to kill the summoner."
This sentence made several people look at Morpheus, and Artoria even asked: "Are you familiar with this kind of thing?"
Morpheus recalled why he came to the world of FGO, and said with nostalgia: "There are two results. One is to summon the evil god's followers, but the evil god's followers are not that strong in combat, so I can still deal with them relatively easily.
"Another outcome is that the evil god is actually summoned. However, based on the damage done by the evil god, it will destroy the summoner and everything around them. Regardless of whether they go mad or something else happens, the moment the evil god appears, there will be an unbearable impact.
"And after the summoner dies, the summoned being will dissipate and return on its own. So the price is usually just an area near the summoning area."
Morpheus said it lightly, but it still made the people listening around him feel their scalps tingle.
Whether it was the magician Tousaka Rin or the ordinary high school student Emiya Shirou, they couldn't help but repeat the word Morpheus said: "Evil God?!"
"Yes, that's right, the Evil God. His true form is definitely not in the solar system. He might even be outside the Milky Way." Morpheus nodded. "Although his true form won't come here, it's still possible that he could send a clone if someone summons him."
When Morpheus said this, he saw the fearful expressions on the faces of the people around him. He laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry so much. His book isn't that advanced. It can only summon some followers. It's not very useful. It's not as powerful as the book I wrote myself."
Morpheus said, shaking the book in his hand.
Medea protested, "This book of yours was specially forged by the God of Fire. You made quite a few requests back then. Comparing it with the Noble Phantasms of ordinary people is a bit excessive, isn't it?"
"You can't say that! His book was specially translated by someone else from the ancient evil god's book. Essentially, the content was given by the evil god. Mine is just a blank book created by the God of Fire, and the content is all written by me!"
Morpheus spoke confidently, even going so far as to say, "Besides, the positions, or rather the strength, of those evil gods are far greater than that of the God of Fire. I even suspect that the white giant Cephalu, who nearly annihilated the gods of the Age of Gods, could be easily crushed by an evil god."
Morpheus' words were already blasphemous in some ways, but Medea knew that Morpheus would not speak without a purpose, so she showed an extremely serious look: "Are those evil gods so powerful?"
Although she had not experienced the era of Sefalu, she had fought against the giants that grew from Sefalu's corpse. They were enemies that even the gods had a headache for. Not to mention, she had also heard that the gods of the Age of Gods were almost wiped out by Sefalu. Although everyone survived later, it also led to the early end of the Age of Gods.
If the power of these evil gods can completely crush Sefalu, then once their real bodies descend upon Earth, no one on Earth today can stop these guys!
Maybe even the Star Sword at full power can't resist it!
And this Star Sword is now in that person's hands.
Medea thought and looked at Artoria.
Looking at the girl, she sighed.
"Although I know this person is a famous Knight King in history, can she really unleash the full power of the Sword of Stars?"
Feeling Medea's gaze, Artoria looked at her with some confusion: "What's the matter?"
"No, I was just wondering if you wanted to take out the Sword of Stars and show it to Morpheus?"
"Sword of Stars?" Artoria was stunned, then heard the other party explain: "It's your Noble Phantasm, the Sword of Promised Victory."
Morpheus thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's unnecessary. I created the Star Sword magic based on the legend of the Star Sword. Essentially, it relies on the bonus of the legend. The operating principle is actually completely different from the Primarch in Altria's hands."
Hearing the two people talking about the magic of the Star Sword, Artoria finally found an opportunity and decided to ask about the matter that had always puzzled her.
"How did you create this magic? This weapon is obviously mine..." asked Altria.
"It's very simple. What I just said is the answer. I created this magic based on a legend. As for why it's a legend, the terrifying existence Cefalu that I just mentioned, who almost ended the Age of Gods and nearly wiped out all the gods, was actually defeated by the Sword of Stars."
"Sefalu and the Sword of Stars..."
"The Sword of Promised Victory you hold is the result of the prayers of all beings on this planet, their desire to survive. These prayers were then forged by the planet into the largest and most advanced Noble Phantasm on this planet: the Sword of Stars.
"You're only unlocking a portion of its power by using it in battle now. If you want to unlock its full power, there must be conditions. I'm not sure of the specific conditions, but based on my experience using the Star Sword magic, the true artifact in your hands can only unlock its full power when facing a crisis of life and death for humanity."
"Humanity's existential crisis?!"
"In other words, this is an opponent that regards all of humanity as its enemy and seeks to wipe out all of civilization. When faced with such a terrifying existence, this sword should be able to unleash its full power.
"Of course, you can also think of it as a special attack, just like the anti-dragon special attack I have."
Because the school was deserted by the idlers, there was no need to go to school that day. As Morpheus told the story, time passed slowly. After finishing the necessary things such as eating, Morpheus finally found Sakura Matou and asked her, "Where are the fragments of the Holy Grail?"
"Here." Matou Sakura took out the fragment of the Holy Grail and handed it to Morpheus. She looked at Morpheus who took the fragment from her hand and asked, "Brother Morpheus, are you planning to use this fragment to create a new small Holy Grail?"
"Well, it's a similar plan. If we can achieve our goal without creating a small Holy Grail, that would be best." Morpheus nodded. "If we must create a small Holy Grail, then using some special magic to create the required flesh should be possible, or directly creating a small cup should also be fine."
“Is this a different choice?”
"No, it's actually a different guess. Although I've already done some research on the Holy Grail, the methods I've come up with are all theoretical. Whether they actually work or not still needs to be tested."
As Morpheus spoke, he threw the fragments of the Holy Grail directly onto the ground and began to carve a magic circle around it.
The fragments of the Holy Grail actually possess a portion of the power of the Holy Grail. Moreover, as part of the Greater Holy Grail that was fully manifested in the Fourth Holy Grail War, although it is a fragment, the power contained within it is still enormous.
There would be no problem if it were used as material and crafted into a treasure.
Morpheus tried to completely seal the Holy Grail fragment, and then began to rely on its connection with the Greater Holy Grail to try to build a special channel, hoping to use this channel to squeeze out Illya's direct connection with the Greater Holy Grail.
But after trying it, he found that he failed.
"The connection between Illya and the Holy Grail is quite close, and it cannot be replaced by simply relying on this method. Even if it succeeds, the channel will be built on Illya's side first..." Morpheus muttered silently, and when he reached into something, he actually took out a small clay figure.
Although the clay figure is not fresh, at least the clay has dried, and looking at its surface, it is obvious that a layer of glue has been applied, allowing the clay figure to maintain its own shape very well.
Matou Sakura blinked and asked excitedly, "Substitute doll?"
"Yes, a substitute doll. There are similar things in many folk customs. They rely on things like substitutes to avoid the damage they would originally have to endure. The way to achieve this is actually to make curses and other things mistakenly identify them.
"I collected some of Illya's hair and used it to make a core, which is now inside this clay figure."
Morpheus said as he placed the clay figure together with the fragments of the Holy Grail.
Then, a magical scene happened. The fragment of the Holy Grail was tightly attached to the clay figure, and they could not even be separated from each other!
"To enhance the effect, I also used some special allusions for this clay figurine. God created humans from clay, so the clay figurine has human characteristics, but it does not have a spirit yet.
"Illya's hair has replaced this spirit, and with the blessing of the Holy Grail fragment, this clay figure now possesses both flesh and spirit, as well as the magic circuits of the Lesser Holy Grail. With this combination, I will see if I can succeed."
Morpheus said this and began to construct the connection between the clay figure and the Holy Grail again.
This time, he smiled.
"Perfect result, success! The Greater Holy Grail really couldn't figure out which one was Illya. Now, under my interference, it began to think that this was Illya, the Lesser Holy Grail it had always been in contact with!"
Chapter 110: The Invitation of the Holy Grail
After building a new small Holy Grail using the clay figurine and the fragments of the Holy Grail, and starting to occupy Illya's place, Morpheus temporarily stabilized this place and did not rush to the next step.
"It will take some time. Once Illya has lost most of her power, we can start the next plan." Morpheus said.
Matou Sakura nodded slightly, then asked, "If the Greater Holy Grail is summoned, what wish will Morpheus-brother make?"
"A wish? It depends on the situation. Make a wish based on the specific circumstances. From a safety perspective, don't ask the Holy Grail for anything, and don't ask for world peace. Simply asking it to tell you some information should be safer."
"Intelligence?"
"For example, where there are gold mines or oil mines that are easy to mine with current technology, ones that haven't been discovered by humans yet, or where you seek to obtain some knowledge, such as the basic principles of the Third Law. These should be safe, after all, many things are already recorded in the Root."
Morpheus's answer was quick and he seemed unusually confident, which made Matou Sakura ponder for a moment before she said, "Could it be understood that the Holy Grail's problems are caused by people overestimating its power?"
"It can be understood this way. Not to mention the enormous hidden dangers that exist in the current Holy Grail, even if there were no hidden dangers left over from the past, if wishes cannot be granted, the Holy Grail will inevitably distort the wishes of the wisher and realize them in an alternative way."
Morpheus said, looking at the girl and smiled, "You're not asking this specifically, are you? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Matou Sakura hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My secret has been discovered by my sister..."
Morpheus was stunned for a moment, then realized what the other party was talking about: "Are you talking about your current identity as the leader of the secret cult?"
Matou Sakura nodded gently: "Yes, when I was at the church, she followed me. Although she thought she was hiding well, I actually discovered her a long time ago."
Morpheus looked at the other person, and when he saw that Matou Sakura stopped talking, he opened his mouth and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Matou Sakura was silent, and Morpheus continued, "Because we've suddenly been in touch more recently, I feel like we can start to restore our previous relationship, but your secret has been exposed, so you're worried that he might have trouble accepting it?"
There was no need for an answer. Just by looking at Sakura Matou's bewildered face, Morpheus knew he was right.
He walked over, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the girl's head, soothing her inner anxiety.
Feeling the warmth from that hand, Sakura Matou's heart calmed down a little. Then, she heard Morpheus' voice coming into her heart.
"Don't underestimate her, she is your sister and the one who inherited the Tohsaka family. Although your father is not good in some aspects, at least he is very good in trusting his daughter.
"I think you can trust her, and I think she will trust you too. She has always cared about you. Given your current situation, I think she might be more worried about your own safety than suspecting you of doing anything bad. As long as you explain everything clearly, there will be no problem."
Matou Sakura pondered over what Morpheus had said. After a while, she gently raised her head, letting her cheek touch his fingers, and whispered, "I understand. I'll go talk to her in detail tomorrow."
Morpheus smiled and said, "I think it's okay now. She must not be asleep yet. You can chat together in the room. It's a way to strengthen the relationship between sisters. Sleeping in the same bed together is also possible."
This made Matou Sakura freeze on the spot. Seeing this, Morpheus immediately pushed her towards the room where Tohsaka Rin lived, and encouraged her as he pushed her: "And you can scare your sister a little bit, don't you think it's great?!"
He felt that if Toosaka Rin saw Sakura Matou walking in with a pillow in her arms, she would definitely have a very amused expression.
Morpheus was very much looking forward to this happening.
……
It was late at night, and everything was asleep. However, lying in bed, Rin Tohsaka found it difficult to fall asleep.
She clearly remembered that in the ruins of the church, Sakura Matou had a close connection with those mysterious strangers. Seeing how respectful those people were to Sakura Matou, she knew that Sakura Matou had a high status in that mysterious organization.
Moreover, those people are the families of the victims of the Fourth Holy Grail War. Not only are they against the Holy Grail, but they might even oppose the magician family that created the Holy Grail.
Hatred is a terrible thing!
If my sister accidentally fell into this abyss and continued to sink deeper and deeper...
Toosaka Rin didn't dare to think any further. She revealed a painful expression and muttered, "So, what's Sakura's situation now? Could there be some bad guys among those people who want to take advantage of her? After all, she's also a magician, and she's very talented, and she's from the Matou family.
"Ah, Sakura wasn't fooled by those people, was she? They said they wanted to prevent tragedy from happening again, but in fact they wanted to use her to obtain the Holy Grail, and rely on the Holy Grail to gain the power to dominate the world..."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Toosaka Rin looked towards the door suddenly, only to see a figure standing there.
It's Sakura Matou!
And Sakura Matou was holding a pillow in her hand!
Seeing the other person standing hesitantly at the door and looking at her, Toosaka Rin's brain suddenly froze.
"W-What's going on?! Sakura suddenly appeared outside my bedroom? And she was holding a pillow? Did she walk into the wrong room?! Ah, how is this possible? She wouldn't walk into the wrong room!
"So what's going on now? Does Sakura want to sleep with me? No, no way?! It's been years, and she usually doesn't want to talk to me!"
Just as Toosaka Rin was trying hard to get her brain back to normal operation, another figure appeared at the door. The person pushed Matou Sakura, who was standing at the door, into the room and said, "Okay, you two can have a good chat. I won't disturb you anymore!"
After saying that, he closed the door and locked the two girls in the room.
Hearing this voice, Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth. That was Morpheus' voice!
