Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

Morpheus felt a strange sadness in his heart, and he felt a little sorry for Chaos' hometown. After suppressing this sadness, Morpheus said, "I will tell you my guess. You can deny it or admit it. After all, you said you would not lie."

"That's not your wish?"

"That's not my wish. I just hope to confirm some of my own speculations through communication with you, just like the conversation we just had." Morpheus shook his head and continued, "Soul Materialization, the foundation of the Third Law, allows the soul to be eternally stable. It's said to have infinite magic power and a perpetual motion machine, but in reality, the output is probably related to the strength of one's own soul."

Angra Mainyu nodded.

Seeing Angramainu's affirmation, Morpheus continued, "Then I continue to speculate, at least based on what I know, that the so-called perpetual motion machine, with its infinite magical power, is not actually truly infinite. It is finite and has its own upper limit. It's just that this upper limit is too high, so high that it is almost unattainable, hence the name infinite."

This time, Angra Mainyu didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either. He simply asked, "What's the basis for your speculation?"

It looks interested.

"That's because a universe is inherently finite. If infinity appeared within it, the universe would be destroyed. Furthermore, at the moment of its birth, infinity itself wouldn't have a problem with insufficient output unless it deliberately suppressed its own output." Morpheus smiled and said, "You nodded earlier."

"You are very cunning. I kind of like you. Then continue with your speculation. This time I will nod or shake my head directly."

"Okay, then I'm going to tell you my speculation about the third method."

Morpheus's face was full of confidence.

“The essence of the Third Law is actually to connect oneself with the universe in which one lives, that is, to completely connect the small source with the big source. This big source is not the big source of the earth's environment, but the entire universe itself.

"Users of the third method extract magic power directly from this. A fully materialized soul is the best carrier for magic power, and the magic power loss is extremely low. If magic power is only extracted from an environment like the Earth, then this loss and waste will have an impact on the future, but at the level of the universe, there will be no such loss.

"The magic power consumed by oneself, the magic power lost by casting spells, etc., will essentially return to the Great Source, and the magic power of the Great Source will always be maintained.

"Even if the universe were to run out of energy and be destroyed tomorrow, it wouldn't necessarily have any impact on the users of the Third Law today. This is because the amount of magic power consumed by the vast universe every second is infinite for the users of the Third Law. Well, I'm using the term 'infinite' as a literary exaggeration."

“Snap… Snap… Snap!”

Angra Mainyu clapped his hands, as if he had seen something interesting. He looked at Morpheus carefully again and again, and seemed to be extremely appreciative.

"You are truly amazing! Even with the blessing of the Holy Grail, I have never seen a human like you!"

Angra Mainyu exclaimed in admiration, "You know what? Even though you haven't completed the Third Law cultivation yourself, or even never practiced it, your understanding of the Third Law is even better than the first person who came close to mastering it."

"Close to mastering the third method?"

"The person the Einzbern family pursued and wanted to recreate was the Third Magician. However, she was only close to it and had not truly mastered it. If she had truly mastered it, she would definitely be alive now, not dead."

"So is there a place where the Third Law is truly realized?"

"Yes, I can vaguely sense the existence of such a place, but it's not this world, not this universe. It's other worlds, other universes. Just like the aura you carry, it originates from the aura of other universes."

"You mean, I come from another universe? Or another parallel universe?"

"I'm not sure. I'm only close to the Holy Grail itself, but I'm not the Holy Grail. Even if it's the Holy Grail, I have to touch the source to know everything. Not to mention, every parallel universe has its own source. The existence of the source is actually not just what some people speculate."

"Isn't it what some people speculate?" Morpheus was puzzled for a moment, and then he saw Angra Mainyu smile slightly and said something that surprised Morpheus very much.

"The origin has never been the core of the universe."

"You said that..." Morpheus was about to ask a question when he was ordered to leave: "Well, it's time for you to leave, and it's time for me to stay here."

Seeing that his surroundings were beginning to resist him and try to throw him out, Morpheus quickly asked, "Do you know where Bazett is?"

"Bazett?" Angra Mainyu was a little surprised.

"She's my sister!"

"Your sister from another world, right? She doesn't have a brother in this world." Angra Mainyu immediately understood what Morpheus meant and said, "She's still alive, but she's been in a coma. You'll be able to see her after you summon the Greater Holy Grail."

As he spoke, the resistance grew stronger, and eventually, Morpheus was thrown out of this special space, and he found himself back in his bedroom.

On the ground, the black mud quickly receded and soon disappeared.

Looking at the receding black mud, Morpheus fell into deep thought.

"Bazette is fine, and she is indeed protected by the Holy Grail. Summoning the Greater Holy Grail will reveal her, which means her body is also protected by the Holy Grail. If we don't summon the Holy Grail, we won't be able to return her body to the real world.

"It's a good thing that my sister is fine, but what bothers me most right now is what Angra Mainyu said... The root, isn't it the core of the universe?

"Although I've always speculated about the origin, it was just speculation. Generally speaking, I view the origin as the center of the world. But now that I've heard this, I have to take it seriously."

The door was pushed open and Medea walked in. She looked at Morpheus who was silent and did not disturb him. She also made a hushing gesture to the people at the door.

At the door, the Servants and Masters had already gathered. They all looked at Morpheus inside. Although they were worried and curious, they did not disturb him.

At this time, Morpheus continued to sort out his contact with the Root, as well as the knowledge, or intelligence, he had gained during the Age of Gods.

"Every parallel world has its own origin. This is indeed reasonable. If this theory is correct, then the origin only appears with the birth of a parallel world. Angra Mainyu said that the origin is not the core of the universe. Does he mean that the origin is not the only thing that coordinates the entire universe?"

Thinking of this, Morpheus denied himself again.

"No, if that's all, there's no need to bring it up specifically. There must be something more important going on..."

Continuing to recall his experiences in the Age of Gods, Morpheus suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"The Greek gods came to Earth, were worshipped by humans, and were connected to the source, thus gaining their own status as gods.

"The Greek gods are fine, but why did Typhon, who clearly descended in his true form and stepped onto Earth, suddenly acquire the corresponding dragon characteristics?

"Even Sefalu came to Earth and later acquired his own Earth identity, which was recorded in the Root..."

Having thought about this, a somewhat terrifying guess appeared in Morpheus's mind, which even made him a little frightened.

"So-called origins, were they born at the same time as the planet, or were they born at the moment humans were born?

"Sword of Separation... So, the so-called origin is actually something that was born at the same time as the planet? But isn't that Gaia? Or is the origin a consciousness that isn't a planet, but was born at the same time as the planet, yet has a certain degree of independence?

"Gaia, Alaya, human principle... then, can the expansion of the root be understood as the expansion of human principle?

"If I create a brand new planet and coordinate everything on it, does that mean I am also the source? Or, in other words, Gaia, the source, and Alaya are all one?"

Chapter 113 Your Mom is Back

Morpheus thought of this and looked towards the door. Seeing so many people looking at him, he smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

After hearing his words, the group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention the worries among friends, even in terms of combat power, the most powerful here is Morpheus, and the one who knows the Holy Grail best is Morpheus. If Morpheus is suddenly attacked by this strange thing and something goes wrong, then they will need to consider how to minimize the disaster.

After all, if even Morpheus could be tricked, then how terrifying could this weird thing really be?!

"What's going on?" Toosaka Rin walked in. She had already changed her clothes. Sakura Matou came in with her. Looking at the two of them, Morpheus could feel that their relationship had become closer.

"It seems my decision to lock these two people in the same room was successful. I succeeded in resolving the rift between them." Morpheus thought secretly, and said to the others with a smile, "It's nothing serious. I was just invited over by the resident of the Holy Grail to chat for a while."

"The occupant of the Holy Grail?"

Morpheus' words made the group of people look puzzled. They couldn't understand what Morpheus meant. Morpheus simply said, "This matter requires the story of the Third Holy Grail War."

As soon as these words came out, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but laugh: "Are you trying to say that you even know what happened during the Third Holy Grail War?"

Morpheus nodded and said, "I don't know much, but I do know a little. And I know the part related to the Holy Grail the most!"

Morpheus thought for a moment before continuing, "The old man from the Matou family, as a participant in the war, must have some understanding of what I'm about to say, but I'm not sure how much he knows."

"He probably knows there are some problems with the Holy Grail, and he's already realized that these problems might have started during the Third Holy Grail War, but he doesn't know the specifics yet." Matou Sakura said, looking very curious at this moment. "So what exactly is going on? What exactly happened during the Third Holy Grail War?"

"It's the Einzbern family's doing." Morpheus spread his hands and looked at the only Einzbern family member present, Illya.

Illya put her hands on her hips and said reluctantly, "I don't have much to do with them!"

"It really has nothing to do with you. Actually, I just want to say that they hurt you so much and even thought that Emiya Kiritsugu had betrayed them. But the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu made this choice is fundamentally rooted in the actions of the Einzbern family themselves.

"In a way, the entire incident was caused by the Einzbern family themselves, so you don't have to feel sorry for them in the future. It's their own fault, and they clearly have to bear the consequences."

Illya curled her lips and said, "I don't feel I've done anything wrong to them. I've already repaid their grievances with kindness by not directly demolishing the Einzbern family's androids and factories."

I have to say that after staying here for a few days, this little girl has put herself in a position of great compassion and has a feeling of "I am a saint".

Morpheus could also see that Illya really wanted to make trouble for the Einzbern family, but she probably also knew that her actions would be of no use to those guys in the Einzbern family.

Those guys have become autistic. After failing this time, they will automatically fall into a deep sleep and no longer think about anything.

But Morpheus smiled.

"If you told them that they could have succeeded in the Fourth War, but that Emiya Kiritsugu's betrayal was essentially caused by their own attempts to cheat in the Third War, don't you think they would be even more miserable?"

Hearing Morpheus' words, Illya blinked and nodded immediately: "Indeed!"

This behavior, which was almost equivalent to jumping on the opponent's face, tearing open the opponent's scar and directly mocking him, made Illya suddenly want to try it.

And you don't have to fight with the other party, just rub salt into their wounds!

"Then I'll take Hercules with me and teach them that they were the ones who were wrong!"

Seeing the girl talking so happily about what she was going to do next, Morpheus nodded slightly. It was the right choice to take Hercules with him instead of going alone. There might be something dangerous there, or the other party might shamelessly attack because of being provoked.

It is said that androids have no emotions, but in reality they are just a group of puppets whose defenses can be broken and whose emotions are mostly negative.

At this time, the other people were more interested in another thing that Morpheus had just said.

"Did the Einzbern family cheat during the Third War?"

"The Einzbern family intended to summon a Servant who could make the final decision, so they had been secretly preparing. Leveraging their advantages as Holy Grail Makers, they exploited a bug in the Holy Grail system to summon an unspecified Servant, a special class called the Avenger."

When Morpheus said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"The Avenger they summoned is actually named Angra Mainyu."

Morpheus' voice was very soft, but at this moment it was like a stone thrown into an originally calm lake, causing violent ripples.

"Angora Mainyu?!" Tōsaka exclaimed. As an orthodox magus, she was quite knowledgeable about world mythology. She seemed to want to confirm something and asked again, "The Zoroastrian one?!"

"Yes, they want to summon Angra Mainyu of Zoroastrianism." Morpheus nodded slightly.

Toosaka Rin shook her head: "They are crazy, summoning such a being, have they never considered the possibility of losing control?!"

"Angora Mainyu? What is this?" asked Shirou Emiya with some confusion.

Morpheus glanced at Shirou Emiya and said, "Shirou, you need to continue studying hard. You don't even know about such a famous myth and such a famous god. You are not qualified to be a magician."

Shirou Emiya suddenly stopped talking. He felt that he would be miserable for the next few days and there was a high probability that he would not be able to play any games.

At this time, Matou Sakura whispered, "Angora Mainyu, the dark god in Zoroastrian mythology, is the evil god in the dualism of good and evil. It is said that all the evil and darkness in the world come from him, and he is the opposite of the good god Ahura Mazda of Zoroastrianism.

"If we talk about the status of gods in religion, Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu are both top gods."

With this explanation, Shirou Emiya finally understood what the Einzbern family wanted to do during the Third Holy Grail War.

He said in surprise, "They actually want to summon a real God in the Holy Grail War?!"

At this point, he couldn't help but glance at Morpheus again: "But didn't Morpheus also summon a god? Suddenly, I feel that the Einzbern family's behavior doesn't seem to be a big deal..."

This sentence caused unanimous nods from the people around.

Summoning a god is a scary thing to do, but someone here has done it several times!

Morpheus immediately protested, "I summoned it with my own ability, without cheating, and I can confirm that I can fully control this power. As for the Einzbern family's attempt to summon a god, they failed. Although they did summon Angora Mainyu, they were actually just a sacrifice called Angora Mainyu."

"Sacrifice?"

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Morpheus gave an explanation that was very consistent with the current understanding of this group of people: "It's similar to the Japanese practice of throwing beans to ward off evil spirits."

Emiya Shirou immediately understood: "In other words, find someone to play the role of the evil god and then expel him?"

"That's right, but unlike the bean-scattering ritual, the ghost-playing here is voluntary. It's just a very ordinary festival, and the person playing the ghost can be very happy. But the person playing Angora Mainyu is most likely not voluntary, and will have to endure the expulsion ceremony and then end up being killed."

"This……"

"A Heroic Spirit, branded with all the evils of humanity and bearing the name of Angra Mainyu, was born. He was extremely weak and had no abilities. His only specialization was the ability to bring about his own death. This guy's ability was to kill humans, and nothing else."

Morpheus said this, shaking his head with emotion, "The Einzbern family thought they could win by summoning God, but ended up summoning a fake. This fake was so weak that it was instantly eliminated. However, this guy's concept of all the evil in this world was made real because of the ritual.

"The birth of the Holy Grail is also related to prayers and so on. It is essentially related to human thoughts. Therefore, these two existences are similar to the same origin. The Holy Grail was tainted by all the evil of Angra Mainyu at this time, causing the originally normal Holy Grail to completely turn black.

"If the Holy Grail that Emiya Kiritsugu obtained was a normal Holy Grail, and he wished for 'world peace', then the Holy Grail would distort the meaning if it could not be fulfilled, and then try its best to provide a solution that would not be too bad.

"But what Emiya Kiritsugu obtained was the Black Holy Grail. The method provided by the Black Holy Grail is indeed the most feasible and simplest method. Kill all of humanity. As long as there are no humans left, there will naturally be peace among humans."

Morpheus even tutted as he spoke, "I even feel that the Black Holy Grail hasn't misinterpreted the wish yet. In a way, Emiya Kiritsugu himself had thought of this, which is why he had no hesitation in letting Altria destroy the Holy Grail."

At this point, several people finally understood what Morpheus meant by going to see the person living in the Holy Grail.

Toosaka Rin asked, "Are you going to see Angra Mainyu?"

"Well, I went to meet him. He seems to be a pretty good person. Apart from his bad mouth, everything else is fine."

Morpheus shrugged. "And it won't lie. Both Emiya Kiritsugu and Illya have met it. It told Emiya Kiritsugu how the Holy Grail would grant his wish. It also told Illya that Emiya Kiritsugu betrayed the Einzbern family and killed her mother. It also revealed that Illya and Emiya Shirou would kill each other in the future."

Illya's expression turned a little ugly, and she whispered, "Isn't she the one who used my mother's body to talk to me when I was a child?"

"It's this one. Since it has no form, it uses this body to move." Morpheus looked at Illya, then at Shirou Emiya, and saw that Shirou Emiya was also in a situation where he didn't know what to say for a moment.
