Their commission was suspicious.

To ensure the spectators had a clear view, Chen Luo brought the bar along as well.

With the seven souls completely injected into Irisviel's body, Morgan's magic circle could no longer suppress the connection between the Lesser Grail and the Greater Grail, and shattered with a crash.

Meanwhile, the Lesser Grail, Irisviel, which had been lying quietly on the coffin, began to emit a pale golden light after successfully resonating with the Greater Grail.

Immediately afterwards, a golden flame gradually ignited from the Lesser Grail, instantly engulfing its entire body in flames.

This was a spiritual fire, which quickly burned the Lesser Grail, Irisviel, to ashes. From within this flame, a golden cup was born.

The golden cup slowly rose, revealing an exquisite pattern to Chen Luo.

In a place that Chen Luo could not see but could vaguely sense, the Servant's spirit core returned to the world.

The gaps created by the seven spirit core users as they traversed the world, along with the souls of the seven servants, acted as nails, piercing seven holes in the world wall that was originally impenetrable.

The magical energy released when the Servant's soul was pierced was enormous, and the Greater Grail used this magical energy, along with magical energy accumulated over 60 years or more, to begin fixing the pores in the world.

Then... a hole appeared.

A true emptiness, or rather, a vast void.

In an instant, a huge hole appeared in the sky, just like a sun, but it emitted a deep, eerie light.

Upon seeing the hole, Tokiomi Tohsaka stood up excitedly.

This is it! This is it!

Countless magicians in the Moon World pursue this existence relentlessly, even knowing it means certain death!

It's so close now!

Chen Luo slowly stepped forward and picked up the Holy Grail, which was constructed based on the materialization of souls. He completely ignored the attraction and presence emanating from the huge hole in the sky and touched the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail only requires 6 souls to make a wish, but to go to the Root, a full 7 souls are needed.

With the massive amount of magic generated by the hole in the world, and the ley line magic originally stored in the Greater Grail, the seven holes that pierced the world have been formed and fixed.

The path to the source has begun. Chen Luo can make a wish, and naturally, he can also embark on the path to the source.

The choice is simple: Chen Luo just needs to pick up the Holy Grail and make a wish.

At that moment, several voices emanated from Chen Luo's talent, and several tasks were completed the instant Chen Luo summoned and possessed the Holy Grail.

The appearance of the Holy Grail signifies the victory of the Holy Grail War, and also its conclusion and end.

Chen Luo temporarily ignored the tasks and instead began to gaze intently at the Holy Grail.

At the same time, a thought resounded in Chen Luo's mind.

[I advise you not to wish to enter the Root, otherwise Gaia and I will do everything in our power to stop you.]

The reason Alaya is now certain that Chen Luo wants to enter the Root is because the seven holes have been opened, and the magic power accumulated by the Holy Grail over 60 years has begun to fix the [holes].

After the hole is fixed, the Greater Grail's accumulated magical power of 60 years will be completely consumed...

How can they possibly argue that they don't want to get to the root of the problem?

If you don't want to get to the root of the problem, why are you fixing the "hole"?

If you only want to fulfill a wish within the world, you just need to make a wish.

Chen Luo completely ignored Alaya and instead focused his attention on the immense power continuously emanating from the real Holy Grail in his hand.

This is far superior to the Holy Grail given by Gilgamesh.

Moreover, it is the Holy Grail from which one can truly make a wish.

Chen Luo knew that all he needed to do now was provide a plan, and the magic in the Holy Grail would execute according to his design, instantly fulfilling wishes that were unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Hey, Alaya, you said that the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City can only barely open the passage to the Root, and there's no guarantee what will happen after you enter, right?" Chen Luo asked, holding the Holy Grail.

Yes, it's good to know.

"Then... what if we do this?" Chen Luo kicked the coffin in front of him away, then drew a river across the coffin and threw the Holy Grail in his hand into the river.

“O source of youth, do you desire this ordinary Holy Grail, or this silver Holy Grail? Or this golden Holy Grail that can change the world?” Chen Luo emerged from the river of time, holding a golden Holy Grail that had transformed into a phantom.

The golden Holy Grail, which had turned into a phantom image, attracted everyone's attention simply by existing there.

Including Alaya!

Even at that moment, those important figures who hadn't been paying attention to the "minor skirmish" of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City all turned to look this way.

The presence emanating from this place is something that no accomplished magician can ignore.

For example, a certain second magician.

Even if the other person was traveling in another parallel world, they instantly sensed what was happening here and turned their gaze towards it.

To be precise, it was the golden cup in Chen Luo's hand that he was looking at.

That golden Holy Grail has transcended the realm of the ordinary Holy Grail, truly reaching the pinnacle of fantasy!

That is the real Holy Grail, powerful enough to change the world!

Even if one wishes for the salvation of all humanity (that all humanity achieves the Third Law), the Holy Grail is highly likely to be fulfilled.

【! ! ! 】

Alaya, realizing this, was instantly dumbfounded!

Once Chen Luo possessed the Holy Grail, Alaya's focus shifted from preventing Chen Luo from entering the Root.

Instead, it was about how to kindly persuade Chen Luo not to act recklessly.

If the other party were to make a wish upon holding this Holy Grail, it could potentially disrupt the history of humankind in this world.

This is truly... an all-powerful wish-granting machine!!!

Chapter 713 The Root! A Lifelong Enemy!

“Alaya, I want to enter the source,” Chen Luo said.

This is not about making a wish, but simply expressing one's own thoughts.

【…】

"Otherwise, I will vow to burn away all human reason."

You...you're going too far!

"I don't care anyway, let's see if you can stop me faster, or if I can come up with a better idea to make a wish."

Gaia would not agree to this.

Alaya means that I can agree, but Gaia does not agree.

Just blame it on Gaia.

"That's fine, we can just go straight to the Steel Land ending right now."

【What?! What does this have to do with me?! Chen Luo, don't go too far!】 Another voice rang out, filled with shock and anger.

"Alaya, it's all your fault!" Gaia then said.

"Ahem, well, why don't you just use this golden Holy Grail to make a wish to enter the Root? We won't stop you, we can't stop you anyway," Alaya said.

[That's right, now that you have the Holy Grail, you can make a wish directly (entering the Root without any obstacles), and no one can stop you.]

[You can even wish to safely enter the Root and exit.]

The Holy Grail is not incapable of doing that kind of thing.

It can be said that the Holy Grail can fulfill any tangible wish.

Chen Luo's threat was indeed a threat, but it was also something that could actually be done. This Holy Grail is no longer like the original Holy Grail, where you first need to have a method to carry out the plan in order to truly achieve your goal. Now, you only need to have the idea to achieve it.

If Chen Luo can speak of the Steel Earth, then the Holy Grail can help Chen Luo transform the entire world into the Steel Earth.

"...Oh, I was just joking. How could I possibly do something like destroying humanity and the Steel Earth? You agree, right?" After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo smiled as he scattered the golden Holy Grail.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo threw the original Holy Grail into his backpack and then picked up the silver Holy Grail.

Half a minute has already passed since the discussion, and due to special reasons, the Holy Grail, whether gold or silver, is illusory, so Chen Luo needs to make a wish quickly.

As for the original body, of course we'll keep it. Whenever we want to make a wish, we'll use the original body to project the golden Holy Grail and make a big one.

It's not time to use the golden Holy Grail yet, because no one possesses such a terrifying obsession.

A mission that uses the Golden Grail should at least give you a five-star reward.

"I wish to travel safely to the source," Chen Luo said, raising the silver Holy Grail.

【…】

【…】

Gaia and Alaya watched the cunning Chen Luo in silence.

Since the opponent has put away the Holy Grail itself, and can summon the golden Holy Grail at any time, Chen Luo has a decisive weapon in his hands.

If Alaya and Gaia push Chen Luo too far, they can simply flip the table and Chen Luo run away immediately.

Therefore, Gaia and Alaya couldn't stop Chen Luo from using the silver Holy Grail, because he still had the golden Holy Grail.

The silver Holy Grail is somewhere in the middle, not the best, but not the worst either.

The ordinary Holy Grail would allow Chen Luo to enter the Root in great danger, and it's uncertain whether he could safely emerge from it.

The golden Holy Grail allows Chen Luo to safely enter the Root and safely exit.

The silver Holy Grail can only guarantee Chen Luo's safe entry, not his safe exit.

As Chen Luo made his wish, the silver Holy Grail in his hand shone brightly, and Chen Luo's spirit instantly immersed itself in the deepest part of his soul, then touched a special point.

A door appeared in Chen Luo's soul. Chen Luo walked lightly to the door and then stepped through it.

After a moment of disorientation, Chen Luo's original body disappeared from the spot, and he appeared in a dreamlike passage.

Behind the passage was the door Chen Luo had entered through, and at the end of the passage was nothingness.

The silver Holy Grail, which had turned into a phantom image, remained peacefully to Chen Luo's side.

Chen Luo's wish is to reach the source safely, but there will certainly be many obstacles on the way.

Sure enough, the moment Chen Luo slowly floated forward, countless golden lights suddenly appeared in the passage, and as the golden lights faded, countless followers appeared.

That's right, they are followers, not heroic spirits.

Servants are only one aspect of Heroic Spirits; their combat strength and abilities are inferior to those of the Heroic Spirits themselves.

Chen Luo understood instantly; this was Gaia and Alaya making a concession.

The duties of Gaia and Alaya dictate that Gaia and Alaya must prevent those who travel to the Root.

However, the threat of the Holy Grail was still fresh in Chen Luo's mind, so he could only choose to slack off.

And so these followers came into being.

As soon as Chen Luo took a step forward, the Servants in the passage launched an attack on him simultaneously.

"EA!" The first to attack was a point-blank beam cannon.

That's right, it's Gilgamesh.

The other person's expression was as if they didn't recognize Chen Luo.

Chen Luo neither dodged nor defended against the incoming Noble Phantasm attack. However, just as the attack was about to reach Chen Luo's face, the silver Holy Grail suddenly activated, deflecting the attack back and then sweeping away a large group of Servants who were heading this way.

The Silver Grail now needs to protect Chen Luo and ensure his safe arrival at the Root.

However, if the opponent is a Servant, the effort exerted cannot exceed that of the Holy Grail.

"In less than half a minute, the Holy Grail will disappear. I don't have time to play with you anymore. Goodbye." A golden sword suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's hand, and as the river flowed by, the golden sword in Chen Luo's hand turned into a golden version of the golden sword.

"Excalibur!"

As long as Chen Luo has it in his hands, there is no weapon that he cannot use, not even the weapon that can be used to release the true name.

With the blessing of the River God's power, the original A++ rank Noble Phantasm became even more terrifying. Golden light swept through the entire passage, and Chen Luo, carrying the silver Holy Grail, flew towards the passage.

"Excalibur!"

Chen Luo's magic power was depleted, but it was immediately filled by the silver Holy Grail.
