Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Unlike time travelers like Xia Yuan who have the ability to detect fake real names, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada possesses the authentic ability to detect real names.

After running around yesterday and today, he has almost collected the true names of all the heroes in this Holy Grail War, and he has also made a complete plan in his mind.

Now that the audience in the stands are almost all present, he will begin to implement the big plan he has been preparing for a long time.

Chapter 31 The Masters’ Choices

I like a world where everything can be loved.

Even though I can't reach that place. 】

……

……

"Hey, hey, hey, did I hear you correctly? You want to monopolize the Holy Grail?!"

Along with Amakusa Shiro's excellent speech, there was also Xia Yuan who knew Amakusa Shiro's true purpose in advance.

Surprise, confusion, doubt, speculation, all kinds of emotions surged into the hearts of everyone outside. Even Kenneth, who had seen a lot of storms, frowned, obviously surprised by Amakusa Shiro's crazy plan.

His wish is to achieve salvation for all mankind...

Does the so-called relief for the lack of peace mean constructing a world completely free of human disputes?

This idea and understanding seemed beautiful, but Kenneth, who was also proficient in psychic magic, understood the madness of this plan and the absurdity behind it better than anyone else.

Disputes and contradictions are something that are inherent to human beings. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes. This is a law that is impossible to erase.

Moreover, this wish is so grand that it cannot be fulfilled by ordinary magic or magic power. Even the legendary wishing machine cannot make it happen, because this has already touched the level of magic.

Originally, he just wanted to participate in this rural magic ceremony to add another achievement to his magic career, and teach Waver, the annoying brat, a lesson along the way.

He had never expected to encounter such a thing. The turning point in the future when Bao Shi Weng said he would die might actually happen in this rural magic ceremony. He needed to reassess the current situation. If something serious really happened, he would contact the Magicians Association directly...

Not to mention these ancient heroes, now there is a savior for all mankind. What is the purpose of this?

Toosaka Tokiomi's face was equally gloomy, and he looked at the young saint who wanted to save all mankind with great dissatisfaction. Although he didn't understand what saving all mankind meant, he knew that his old friend Kotomine Rizheng was stabbing him in the back.

The advantage of support from the church that had been originally agreed upon disappeared the moment Amakusa Shiro took over the role of supervisor of the Holy Grail War.

This silent betrayal made him, a magician who always adhered to elegance, very annoyed.

"--A relief plan for all mankind?"

Altria's ahoge trembled.

Xia Yuan's expression matched Weber's, showing the same look of shock.

Finn's face remained calm, with his thumb in his mouth, as if he knew everything.

Iskandar did not even try to hide his exaggerated expression. His eyes were wide open as he looked at Amakusa as if he had seen a monster.

In a spacious church.

When everyone was lost in thought, Iskandar was the first to speak: "Boy, I have a question for you."

"Please tell me, I will try my best to answer you."

"Do you really understand what the so-called universal relief for mankind means?"

"Of course." Amakusa Shiro smiled at him gently, "I was born for this, and I live for this."

"My wish is undoubtedly to save all of humanity. I'm sure you Servants can understand this wish, right? After all, we who were summoned by the Holy Grail have had our share of regrets."

Amakusa's tone was sincere, without any falsehood.

"Okay, kid, even if you are sincere in your words about saving all of humanity, what does this have to do with me?"

"Why should I give up the Holy Grail just because of your wish? You are not the only one who has a wish. All the Heroic Spirits and Masters present here have gathered here because of their own wishes. They have come together across time and space to participate in this Holy Grail War. We have no obligation to sacrifice ourselves to fulfill your wish! No matter how great and incredible your wish is!

Iskandar raised his arms and shouted, stating his wish bluntly: "My wish is to regain my body and start conquering again in this world! Can you help me realize it?!"

Very realistic.

Iskandar's words echoed in everyone's ears and awakened everyone present.

That's right, they are all participants in the Holy Grail War, so naturally everyone is qualified to compete for the Holy Grail.

No one is saint, and no one can be free of desires. The reason why they can participate in the Holy Grail War means that they all have wishes that they must fulfill at all costs, and naturally they are not obligated to give up their own wishes for Amakusa's ambitions.

As soon as the voice fell, all the Masters and Servants present were awakened by Iskandar's words. For a moment, the atmosphere became tense again, and all eyes were once again focused on Amakusa Shiro, waiting for his answer.

"Well done, you are worthy of being the King of Conquerors, you have a sharp eye."

This was Xia Yuan's evaluation of the King of Conquerors. His words were sharp and he pointed out Amakusa Shiro's flaws.

It is impossible to expect everyone to have the same insane obsession with saving the world as he does. As long as someone points it out, the atmosphere will naturally tilt to the other side.

Feeling the increasingly tense atmosphere around him, Tōsaka Tokiomi's palm that was holding the cane broke out in sweat. He rubbed the Command Seals on the back of his hand and stared at his surroundings vigilantly.

He was the only one present, and if these heroes really started fighting, he would definitely be the one to die the fastest. So he decided that if he found something wrong, he would immediately use the Command Spell to summon Gilgamesh, who was wandering around somewhere.

Damn it... Archer, if that guy hadn't refused to cooperate with him, he would never have fallen into this embarrassing situation.

"Boy, I am very curious, how will you answer my question?"

“Are you going to give up this ridiculous ideal? Or are you going to continue to compete with me on the same stage and fight for the ownership of the Holy Grail with force and courage?!”

In the center of the church, Iskandar picked his ears, his eyes always fixed on Amakusa Shiro, waiting for his answer.

"...Master?" Altria whispered.

"Don't say anything more, just keep watching."

On the other side of the screen, Emiya Kiritsugu, like everyone else present, was looking forward to the answer that Amakusa Shiro would give.

However, despite saying this, there was still no panic in Amakusa Shiro's eyes. He just stood there with a smile on his face, still looking calm and composed.

Xia Yuan could probably guess that with Amakusa Shiro's shrewd character, it was impossible for him not to think of such a superficial level. He must have already thought of a response plan in his mind.

The answer was as expected, Amakusa Shiro continued, slowly opening the black leather book in his left hand, and countless pages seemed to come alive and began to flip through themselves, making a pleasant friction sound of "rustle, whoosh", and then he spoke.

"Don't worry, everyone. I have already considered this."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.

Amakusa Shiro chuckled and continued, "You are all heroes who have left their names in human history. I believe you can understand my wish to save all mankind, right?"

"At the same time, compared to the meaningless self-fighting in the Holy Grail War, I have a better way to fulfill your wishes. The price is the Command Seals on the back of your hands, which are the qualifications to participate in this Holy Grail War."

"Of course I can help you regain your body."

"What did you say?" Iskandar was suddenly stunned.

"In order to express my sincerity to you all and to verify the truth of my words, I, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the Ruler of the Third Holy Grail War, whose true name is engraved on the Throne of Heroes, am willing to start in the name of my own spiritual foundation and concepts and will never betray or forsake you all. Now, in front of the witness of the world, I will sign a contract with you all—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Amakusa Shiro suddenly cut his finger, letting the blood splatter into the air.

Then a long parchment scroll emerged from his pocket, serving as a carrier of blood and constituting this mandatory self-essay contract.

[Bound by: Amakusa Shiro Tokisada/Master/Servant. 】

Swearing by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada Reiki, the contract will firmly bind the contracted party subject to the following conditions being met.

[Contract content: The Master gives up the Command Seal and hands it over to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and leaves a vow not to be an enemy until the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War - Amakusa Shiro, as the contracted party, will use [■■] to fulfill [■■]'s wish, which cannot be violated.]

[The same applies if a Servant abandons his Master and becomes Amakusa Shiro's Servant.]

[Signature: Contracting party -- Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. ]

[Contracted Party——■■]

brush brush --

The parchment scroll that Juan had just written was torn apart, and then scattered, and in an instant, it fell into the hands of every Master and Servant.

What exactly is going on?

As elite magicians, Kenneth and Tōsaka Tokiomi can of course see the terrifying compulsory nature of this contract, and at the same time they also feel increasingly wary of this guy Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

He said he could fulfill our wishes and dared to swear on the contract with his spiritual foundation, which means that the contract is real, unless this guy abandons his own concepts and existence.

But... since he can fulfill other people's wishes, why should he fight for the Holy Grail? Wouldn't it be better to fulfill his own wishes? Perhaps his ability or degree of fulfilling wishes is limited, and he can't fulfill such a huge wish of saving all mankind? Or maybe there is something else that he hasn't figured out.

Amakusa Shiro did not deny Kenneth's guess.

The so-called Greater Holy Grail actually does not have any particularly outstanding mysterious power. It is far different from the sacred grail in mythology that truly carried the blood of the Son of God. It is just a source of magic power that has accumulated in the earth veins of Fuyuki City for hundreds of years.

As long as the principle can be analyzed, magicians of the Age of Gods such as Medea, Merlin, and Morgan can easily replicate it. They just need to accumulate enough magic power.

But that's different. If it's just the source of magic power, it's not enough. In the past 60 years, I have been to many veins, gathered a lot of magic power, and even completed the size of the Holy Grail, but that's not right at all.

If it is just an ordinary source of magic power, it is impossible to achieve the desired result. No matter how much adjustment is made, it is impossible to realize your wish.

In order to find out the truth, he searched a lot of information about the three great families, and finally he found the real key to the Holy Grail in the library of the Einzbern family.

The true core of the miracle is not the so-called huge magic power, but the miracle of its core [Holy Maiden of Winter] Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern.

That was a magical creation that had completely touched the five major levels of magic. Only such an existence could fulfill his wish, which was why he absolutely could not imitate it.

In today's world, magic has completely degenerated into magecraft. Not even the Grand Caster, the King of Magic, King Solomon, can replicate the miracles of the Five Great Laws.

Therefore, the third method - [Cup of Heaven] is necessary.

As long as you get it and modify it with your own treasure, you will be able to achieve the effect you want.

If he uses the magic power he has accumulated over the years as fuel to activate the Noble Phantasm again, it will be enough to help some Masters and Servants realize their wishes, and eliminate all the remaining Heroic Spirits, thus achieving the true realization of wishes. As long as he realizes the salvation of all mankind, it doesn't matter if the remaining magic power in the Holy Grail is left for others to use.

"You dare to swear in the name of the spirit base on the Throne of Heroes. You are really a lunatic. This kind of courage is worthy of being a hero who can leave his name on the Throne of Heroes!"

"Thank you, King of Conquerors. To me, this is just a small risk I have to take on the road to saving all mankind. And... I am actually over 80 years old this year, and the word brat sounds a bit strange."

Amakusa Shiro scratched.

"That's it..."

After Iskandar praised, he tore up the speech he had just prepared without changing his expression.

He had originally intended to explain to Amakusa Shiro what a king's ambition and vision were as an elder. But thinking back carefully, facing this guy who had lived longer than he had in two lifetimes, his preaching at this age did not seem to have much persuasiveness.

It is impossible to shake a guy with such obsession with words, the outcome can only be decided in battle.

"However, Lancer, if the Servant swears by the spirit foundation on the Throne of Heroes and establishes a mandatory essay contest, can such a thing really be done?" Xia Yuan asked Finn beside him.

Knowing Amakusa Shiro well, he naturally did not trust him 100%. He did not dare to believe even a single punctuation mark in every word Amakusa Shiro said.

"Yes, if that's true, then if we breach the contract, won't the main body on the Throne of Heroes be destroyed as well?"

Weber also thought about the seriousness of violating this contract.

"This is possible. After all, this contract is a magic draft signed with both the restraining force and the entire world. Under the constraints and execution of both, this kind of thing can be done." Finn nodded in affirmation.

"The contract is just a form of constraint. The real supervisors are the world and the source. If you really breach the contract, you will have to pay such a price."

"For example...become like Red A, and completely become a worker with suppressed power?"

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Yuan shuddered.

Dark skin + white hair + male = correct appearance.

"very good--"

Kenneth suddenly spoke up: "Your real name is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, right? Ruler, I roughly understand what you mean, but can you tell me how you plan to save all mankind? I think everyone present is very curious about this. What method will you use to save mankind?"

"Of course, I have no reason to hide it."

"Because I have witnessed hell."

Amakusa opened its arms as if to embrace the entire sky.

"Whether it was the Shimabara Uprising that I experienced during my lifetime or the Second World War that I experienced after the Third Holy Grail War, there is no doubt that they were all real hell. So I realized that as long as there is war in this world, the hell under my feet will not stop spreading."

"In the past sixty years, I have questioned this conclusion, but as wars have broken out one after another and hell has continued to spread, I have firmly believed in this conclusion - where there are people, there will be disputes, war will be a hotbed of disaster, and death will breed a new hell."

"So the only way to end hell is to use the legendary universal wishing machine!!"

"Only when humans evolve to true purity and give up disputes can they be saved."

"All wars so far have been caused by the distribution of resources and the impurity of human nature. So let the Holy Grail change this situation - smooth out the disputes of human nature, make humans immortal, and survive without the need for resources. This is my way of salvation."

"Only by doing this can we eliminate all the evil in this world. Only by doing this can we create a world without bloodshed, sorrow, death, fighting, and equality for all!"

The crazy plan even coincided with Kenneth's expectations.

"It's really not much different from what I expected."

Xia Yuan shook his head silently. He knew Amakusa's paranoia and madness. For this saint who had witnessed hell many times and lost everything, this was the deepest obsession in his heart.
