Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

"The Holy Grail should be able to make some inferences or predictions about the future. It may not be completely accurate, but it can reveal some situations. And in a way, Emiya Shirou will become the Master this time. I actually suspect that Angra Mainyu's choice is also a point that needs to be considered."

Morpheus said this, looking at the somewhat depressed little girl, and smiled: "And after this conversation with it, I have become more certain about one thing. Maybe Shirou will have another mother in the future."

"Ah?!" Shirou Emiya opened his mouth wide, not understanding what this meant.

Illya suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock. She asked in disbelief, "You, what do you mean by this..."

"Your father is Emiya Kiritsugu, and Emiya Shirou is his adopted son. So, there's nothing wrong with the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu's wife is Emiya Shirou's mother, right?"

Emiya Shirou continued to be confused, but Illya's reaction was unusually intense: "Mom, Mom, hasn't she already... completely lost her personality?"

Morpheus shook his head: “The completion of the Lesser Holy Grail will cause the Grail Man’s functions to cease and his personality to be erased, but that is only a personality.

"In reality, the Holy Grail, until it is completed and fully utilized, will become a safe house to protect the integrity of the soul. Angra Mainyu acts in the form of Irisviel, absorbing everything about her into his own, including her tone of voice and even her memories.

"But in fact, these connections also indicate one thing. Irisviel's soul has been preserved in the Holy Grail and has never dissipated. Now she has simply lost herself. As long as her soul is awakened and she recovers, even if her soul's memories become blank, it won't matter.

"Because, Angora Mainu's existence is a backup of Irisviel's memories. All we need to do is extract the memories belonging to Irisviel and inject them into Irisviel's blank soul. In this regard, we can ask Angora Mainu for help.

"The most important thing is that Angra Mainyu absorbed everything about Irisviel, causing it to possess all of Irisviel's memories throughout her life!"

Morpheus made another declaration: "So, the mother of your two children will be back soon!"

Shirou Emiya didn't know how to answer, while Illya was so excited that she felt she couldn't say anything at the moment. There were so many things she wanted to say in her mind, but not a single word came out of her mouth.

At this moment, her brain was almost filled with one thought.

"Mom is coming back?!"

Chapter 114 Summoning the Holy Grail

Shirou Emiya was very nervous and lay on the bed nervously. He found that he couldn't sleep at all.

"Can't sleep?" The sudden voice made Emiya Shirou look at the person who came.

Looking at the figure who appeared in his bedroom at some point, Emiya Shirou hummed, then said, "Mr. Morpheus, you came in a little too suddenly."

"It's okay. We're all men anyway, so it's not offensive." Morpheus sat casually aside and then asked, "Is it because of Illya's mother?"

"Yes." Emiya Shirou nodded, then complained again: "Isn't Mr. Morpheus British? I think in the UK, people should still pay attention to the same sex, right? Especially men."

"Not bad, you actually joked about this." Morpheus nodded, then said naturally, "Don't worry, Britain is still safer than ancient Greece. When I was in ancient Greece, I only associated with cute girls!"

Looking at Morpheus who was about to tell about his love affair, Shirou Emiya quickly interrupted him: "Mr. Morpheus, can Illya's mother really be resurrected?!"

Morpheus nodded and said, "Really? As long as the soul is still there, it becomes much easier to resurrect a person. Often, resurrection becomes difficult because the soul is gone."

“So this is related to the soul?”

"There are many spells that can quickly heal physical injuries, but how to save a soul is an extremely profound subject in magic. The highest goal of alchemy is to create new life. The difficulty lies not in constructing the body, but in constructing the soul.

"If it were possible to directly construct a new soul, it would be equivalent to entering the realm of God."

Morpheus smiled after saying this: "Well, you can understand it that way, but whether or not creating a new soul is equivalent to entering the realm of God, that can only be known after it is truly achieved."

Emiya Shirou listened to Morpheus' explanation very carefully, but after listening, he complained again: "Ah, why did it become a magic class again?!"

"You asked me yourself, so I explained it."

Shirou Emiya had to admit that Morpheus explained all this because he asked, but what was bothering him now was not this matter, but other things.

"If, I mean if Illya's mother comes back, then what should I do?"

"Why? You don't know how to face your adoptive father's wife?"

Shirou Emiya did not mention Illya's mother, but Kiritsugu Emiya's father. This description just hit the point that Shirou Emiya was worried about at the moment.

"Well, I don't know how I should face that person... I've never met her before, and we can even say we have no relationship with her, but because of Kiritsugu, she is like my adoptive mother in some ways, right?"

“At least Illya treats you as her brother, so to Irisviel, you are indeed her son.

"By the way, regarding artificial humans, I mean these puppets, they are actually a bit more morbid and strange than humans in terms of this kind of emotion. Even if they treat you as their own son, I think it is possible."

Morpheus said this, reached out and patted Shirou Emiya on the shoulder: "Congratulations, boy, you have a new mother, and she is a very gentle mother."

In response to Morpheus's behavior, Emiya Shirou could only smile bitterly. However, after a moment of silence, Emiya Shirou said, "I understand. I will try my best to adapt to the new relationship!"

"Okay, why think so much? Whether she's your mother or not, you need to go through the process of getting to know her and becoming familiar with her. From what I know about Irisviel, she's very easy to talk to and kind. If you want to know more, you can ask your Servant."

"You mean Saber?"

"Yes, although Artoria is your adoptive father's Servant, in fact, during the Fourth War, Artoria's partner was actually Irisviel, and the two of them got along quite well." Morpheus said this with a smile: "And rather than this, I think you should think about your future path, such as which department to apply for."

"magic?"

"No, I'm talking about your options after graduating from high school, which means going to college."

What a realistic statement! It allowed Emiya Shirou to escape from the Holy Grail War in an instant and return to the world called reality. He was even powerful enough to separate the Holy Grail War from magic and everything else.

"I think you should choose according to your dreams, or according to what you are good at. Of course, if you ask me, I will definitely say to learn more languages ​​and things related to history, archaeology, mythology, etc.

"But actually, these can all be learned in your spare time. The scientific knowledge a magician possesses is very helpful for learning magic. Even someone like Aleister specifically studied things like the theory of relativity."

"Aleister?"

"Don't worry about it. He's just a pretty strong guy who can kick a hundred of me together like a ball."

Morpheus' words surprised Shirou Emiya. His current family was full of heroes from all ages, including King Arthur, great Greek heroes, the Son of Light of Ireland, and even beings like Medusa, but none of them were as powerful as Morpheus. Even the being known as the most ancient king was easily crushed by Morpheus.

In Shirou Emiya's cognition, Morpheus is the most powerful. No legendary hero is as powerful as him. Morpheus is related to all the gods in mythology!

But now Morpheus actually said that the man named Aleister could knead a hundred Morpheus together and kick them like a ball. Shirou Emiya could not imagine how powerful such a human being could be.

"It's not that powerful. It can just instantly unleash ten times the power of creating infinite cosmic energy. And it's an incredibly accurate single-target attack."

Shirou Emiya saw Morpheus saying these words at this moment, and he pouted his lips, seeming to be very unhappy.

It was the first time he saw Morpheus with such an expression.

"And a lot of the magic knowledge you're learning now was actually created by this guy, him and his peers."

At this moment, Shirou Emiya finally understood who these people Morpheus was talking about.

"You mean the Golden Dawn faction?!"

"Yeah, that's right, but Aleister should be called the former Golden Dawn, after all, he already ran away."

"So that's how it is. But to be honest, I still find it hard to imagine. What does it mean to create an attack ten times the energy of an infinite world? And this attack can actually be so accurate that it can target a single target?!"

"It's all about imagination, and then translating that imagination into physics, but I don't understand how it's done." Morpheus spread his hands. "To me, this theory is just like putting an elephant into a refrigerator in three simple steps."

Shirou Emiya nodded slightly. He also felt that this kind of attack that transformed imagination into physical attack was a bit abstract. It sounded simple, but as for how to realize it, he really had no idea how to do it.

……

After silently waiting for three days, allowing the Holy Grail substitute he created to grow sufficiently, Morpheus finally began the most critical step of his plan.

Giles' soul was released. The moment Giles' soul was released, the inside and outside of the world were opened up. This opening was a channel based on the rules, not a pure breakthrough by relying on huge force.

With the help of this rule, the passage appears quickly and firmly, but it will inevitably close the moment the Servant's soul passes through.

The Holy Grail imprisoned Giles' soul and faithfully performed its work, maintaining the existence of the channel.

However, a channel built with the power of only one Servant's soul is too weak to serve as a channel for the Holy Grail to descend.

If the Holy Grail is forcibly brought down through this channel, the result will inevitably be its destruction.

Of course, the Holy Grail itself will not descend if these conditions are not met. This is the self-monitoring mechanism of the Holy Grail system.

"The Servant's soul serves as the key to opening the passage, and the magic power that condenses in the Servant, which serves as the structure of the Servant's physical body, is actually recovered when the Servant is recovered, and is used as energy to stabilize the passage."

Morpheus thought about it and gently grasped the floating scepter in his right hand.

Morpheus was wearing his trench coat, and in addition to the scepter in his right hand, three other symbols representing the elements were floating around him.

The power of elements began to gather around Morpheus, and under Morpheus's control, these powers continued to flow into the small holy grail in front of him.

The originally somewhat unstable passage began to be continuously strengthened and became more and more stable due to the huge magic power supplied by Morpheus.

When it became stable to a certain degree, Morpheus finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he only needed to wait a little longer and the Holy Grail would descend directly here!

There were no other people around him, in order to prevent any accidents from happening during the experiment, which would put the people who came to watch the show in danger. Although Morpheus felt that the success rate of his plan this time could reach 99%, if he was unlucky, the chances of success would just be within that 1%.

After waiting for a while, a huge hole began to appear in the air, like a hole in a solar eclipse.

This hole is exactly the same as the scene Morpheus saw in the Holy Grail. Dark liquid flows out of it, falls on the ground, and then continues to gather on the ground, turning into a large amount of strange flesh and blood, constantly agitating, as if it is gestating something.

The Holy Grail has finally appeared!

"What do you want to know? Or, have you thought about what you want to wish for?" The person who appeared in front of Morpheus was Irisviel, or Angra Mainyu.

After saying this, Angra Mainyu looked towards the passage in the sky again, revealing a hint of surprise.

"You truly astonish me. Simply relying on the soul of a Servant, you managed to stabilize the passage and even replenish the missing mana. If the magi who fought you several times knew you could summon the Holy Grail so easily, they would probably jump out of their coffins in anger."

Morpheus didn't waste any words. He said, "Can you extract Irisviel's memory? Or copy it?"

"What do you want to find out from her memory? This woman doesn't have any big secrets. For her, a big secret is nothing, but for those magicians, it's nothing. They won't even care about it."

Angra Mainyu smiled. "Of course I don't think there's anything wrong with that. On the contrary, I admire people like that. Compared to many magicians, she's more of a human being, possessing human virtues."

"I just want to revive her. Her soul is still in the Holy Grail, but it's damaged. Even if it's repaired, I'm afraid her memory will be damaged. But you have her memory, so this way it's perfect."

Angra Mainyu opened his mouth, then smiled and shook his head: "As expected of you, I won't be surprised by anything you do now."

It said, suggesting, "You can construct Irisviel's body first, and then I can inject the memories into it."

It said this and looked at Morpheus: "Then let me guess, after you obtain the Holy Grail, you should be planning to seek knowledge about the reconstruction of the body."

"It's not like we don't have cloning technology." Morpheus muttered, stretched out his hand, and grasped the Holy Grail that was between reality and illusion.

The Holy Grail is connected to Morpheus' consciousness. At this moment, Morpheus finally gets the opportunity to communicate with the Holy Grail, which has no self-awareness but can react in various ways according to its instincts.

"My wish is..."

Morpheus took a deep breath and then expressed the wish he had come up with after careful consideration.

"Answer all the questions in the book I have."

His actions were still beyond Angra Mainyu's expectations. Morpheus actually took out a notebook with a lot of things written on it. It was obvious that there were many questions recorded. Originally, if he asked the Holy Grail, as long as he asked a question and the Holy Grail answered it, then his wish would be fulfilled.

But now Morpheus has integrated all the problems into one notebook.

Answering all the questions in the notebook is just one question, but this question integrates a large number of questions. The Holy Grail really needs to answer all these questions.

"Actually, there aren't many, only about a dozen. The reason it seems like a lot is because I wanted to prevent the Holy Grail from not understanding the questions, so I gave more detailed descriptions and limited the range of answers to prevent it from being clever."

Morpheus even explained it to Angra Mainyu.

"Ha!" Angra Mainyu laughed. It was still connected to the Holy Grail and could see what the question was written in Morpheus's notebook.

There were only so many questions. Most people would be considered to have gained a lot if they could ask one and then obtain the answer from the Holy Grail. But he was so good that he directly asked more than a dozen!

For example, the question "How many ways are there to become a child of the Scarlet Mistress, or a Son of the Abyss? Please list them one by one" is a question that even the Holy Grail finds difficult to answer.

This difficulty level is almost the same as the one Morpheus asked last time: how to cross the abyss and become 8=3.

But Morpheus was kind-hearted and added a condition.

"If you really can't answer, just skip it. If you can't answer any of them, then make another wish when the time comes."

……

In the dim room, Matou Zouken raised his head and smiled.

"Finally, I've been summoned... Then it's time for me to take action..."

Chapter 115: Matou Sakura's Revenge

Zouken Matou is a very cautious person. Although he has watched Sakura Matou grow up and has educated and controlled her since childhood, he can proudly say that Sakura Matou is the most perfect creation that grew up according to his will, but he is still wary of her.

He doesn't trust anyone, not even any non-human. As long as there is a being with the ability to think independently, even a dog, it is not someone that Zouken Matou would trust.

The only person he has ever trusted is himself.

Therefore, even though Sakura Matou became the master this time and participated in this battle, and the other party also followed his orders to monitor Shirou Emiya, Zouken Matou still made other preparations.

"The Matou family's magecraft uses the Crimson Worm. This thing has more useful and strange properties than other magic. Compared to other magecraft, it is more strange and difficult to defend against, especially when it comes to controlling people."

Zouken Matou smiled, and he carefully controlled the most special engraved insect, and constantly interacted with it and merged with it.

"Soon, I will be able to obtain a young and powerful body, and with this body as a foundation, I will seize the Holy Grail and rely on it to gain the power of eternal life!"

Matou Zouken thought happily and even couldn't help laughing.
