Saber was confused about the situation, so she asked about it. Irisviel then explained the situation briefly but clearly.

Suddenly, Saber was stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, that evil magician has been eliminated now."

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head. "Matou Zouken shouldn't be dead yet. I've seen similar insect magic to his. Magicians like him have strong secret keeping methods, and those insects are his clones."

"Unless the core individual can be found and eliminated, it will be difficult to kill this kind of magician."

Emiya Kiritsugu is an expert in this area and has sufficient experience.

Then, a voice rang out, "Yes, that's right. That old bug, Matou Zouken, won't die so easily."

Everyone immediately turned to look and saw the Guardian, Shirou Emiya, approaching.

Saber: "Are you... the one who helped me just now?"

Guardian Emiya Shirou smiled and said, "Well, nice to meet you, King Arthur. It's an honor to meet you. I am the guardian of the light of human reason."

Saber was puzzled: "The Light of Humanity? What is that?"

Guardian Emiya Shirou was stunned: "You don't know? Aren't you a Heroic Spirit? All the Heroic Spirits who ascended to the Throne of Heroes should know."

Saber's face was serious: "I'm sorry, I didn't respond to this Holy Grail War by going deep into the Throne of Heroes. I responded to this Holy Grail War as a living being."

Now, it was the turn of the guardian Emiya Shirou to be confused, and the others were also confused, not understanding what the so-called guardian was.

Only Emiya Kiritsugu, although he did not know what the Light of Human Reason and the Guardian were, knew the identity of Emiya Shirou.

However, this person's personality is such that he won't say much until he has a thorough understanding of the situation.

At this time, another person arrived, it was Joan of Arc, and she gave a simple explanation of the concept of the light of human reason and the guardian.

After learning these things, everyone suddenly realized, and Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes flickered, obviously he had some guesses about his future self becoming a guardian.

After a brief silence, Emiya Kiritsugu said to Emiya Shirou in a deep voice, "Where is that person?"

Upon hearing this, Emiya Shirou naturally knew who Emiya Kiritsugu was asking about, and he also understood the other meaning hidden behind this question.

So, he replied, "His whereabouts are always uncertain. I don't know where he is. However, since he hasn't shown up, he definitely doesn't want to say anything more."

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded when he heard that. Irisviel asked in confusion, "Who is this 'he' you're talking about?"

I don't know why, but I'm a little concerned.

Emiya Shirou was obviously very friendly towards Irisviel, his 'mother'. He smiled and said, "It was another guardian who was sent with me. That person likes to act alone, so it's normal that I can't see him."

Upon hearing this, the unaware people suddenly realized that there were other guardians.

Although Joan of Arc knew the truth, she did not say much.

Then, Alice asked curiously, "By the way, what are your names?"

Emiya Shirou: "Just call me Wuming."

Obviously, he didn't want to reveal his true identity to anyone other than Emiya Kiritsugu.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu knew it, he knew what to do when he heard the answer and did not expose it.

Although Jeanne knew Emiya Shirou's real name, she felt that as a guardian, there must be a reason why Emiya Shirou did not reveal his real name, so she naturally did not say anything more.

Furthermore, Jeanne introduced herself, explaining her rank and name in a simple manner.

He did not mention his own achievements, but simply said in an ordinary tone that he was the Ruler of the Holy Grail War and gave his real name, that was all.

However, this self-introduction, which sounds like that of a country girl, is shocking enough.

After all, the name of Joan of Arc is truly well-known, and there is no need to use extra words to describe the extent of her status.

Then, Saber and Joan of Arc started a business mutual blow mode.

Saber was amazed. "So you are the Joan of Arc of Gaul. It's an honor to meet you."

Joan of Arc said modestly: "No, not at all. Compared to you, I am nothing. Besides, I never thought I was great."

Obviously, these two historical figures of Holy Britain and the Napoleonic Empire were not as hostile to each other as the people of the two countries might think. Instead, they both spoke highly of each other.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu disliked this kind of commercial flattery. He said in a deep voice, "I already understand the situation. The appearance of the Guardian means that the Light of Humanity has discovered an existence that poses a threat to human history, right?"

"So, this so-called threatening existence is Matou Zouken? Or is it the black shadow that can devour Heroic Spirits?"

Emiya Shirou nodded, then shook his head. "I guess so! But that's not entirely correct. To be precise, it's the Holy Grail itself that has been contaminated. It holds all the evil in this world. If it were released from the Holy Grail, it would be enough to contaminate the entire world and bring about the end of human history."

After a pause, he continued, "However, as far as I know, although the contaminated Holy Grail is dangerous, it is not unsolvable. There are still people in this world who can solve it. And, according to the history I know, the contaminated Holy Grail has indeed been solved."

"So, although all the clues right now point to the Greater Holy Grail, I feel that there must be something else hidden behind this. I just don't know what it is. Perhaps it is to completely destroy Matou Zouken."

"I and another person sent to this era as the guardians of the Light of Humanity, the reason why we have been lurking in the Holy Grail War without doing anything is because we cannot confirm who can really pose a threat to human history. Humans and followers are actually not enough to pose a threat to human history."

"It's precisely because we can't lock onto the target that needs to be eliminated that we haven't appeared yet, because we are looking for the target."

Hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought, analyzing what Emiya Shirou had said.

People in the real world started to complain, saying that the Light of Humanity was too useless. They sent people over without even knowing who the real enemy was. It was really because the background setting was so strong, but the result was like this.

Then, on the screen, the silent Waver sarcastically said, "You don't even know who the real enemy is? Is this Human Light of Reason so weak? He can even travel through time and space."

Emiya Shirou shook his head. "It's not that the Light of Humanity is incompetent. In fact, under normal circumstances, if guardians like us were sent to a certain era, they would be able to immediately lock onto the enemy and eliminate them."

"However, an unknown entity has manipulated this Holy Grail War, rendering all abilities of future vision and observation ineffective during the Holy Grail War. The Light of Humanity is no exception. All that can be observed is a fog."

"It is precisely for this reason that we, the guardians, need to find the target ourselves."

After a pause, he added, "Perhaps the real target for whom we were sent here is the mysterious entity that concealed the situation of the Holy Grail War."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, while the people in the real world were stunned for a moment before being shocked again.

The group of people in the light curtain image didn't know, the real world watched the whole Holy Grail War, how could they not know the reason?

Wasn't the person who covered up the Holy Grail War Tōsaka Tokiomi?

Good guy!

The hidden purpose was revealed again.

It was originally believed that Tōsaka Tokiomi used the power of the Greater Holy Grail to shroud Fuyuki City during the Holy Grail War, blocking all observation and predictive abilities, in order to deal with the Hero King Gilgamesh and the Magic King Solomon.

When the truth was revealed, it was shocking enough.

Now it seems that what it is dealing with is actually a deeper existence!

Judging from the behavior of Tōsaka Tokiomi, there is a high probability that he knows the existence of the Light of Humanity, so his actions are likely to be prepared against the Light of Humanity.

Good guy, really good guy!

What seemed like a casual act at the beginning of a Holy Grail War actually targeted so many people and forces at once.

Just how far did Tōsaka Tokiomi go in his calculations?

Think carefully.

People have been unable to help but enter the endless imagination mode, imagining Tōsaka Tokiomi to be even more terrifying.

After all, this guy is really scary.

The strength, IQ and means are all in line, some even beyond the scope.

The word "scary" is not enough to describe this guy.

Even through the image on the light screen, people in the real world felt their scalps tingling and their palms sweating.

How much is that man hiding?

Chapter 263 The five hundred years of obsession have ended

When the real world thought of Tōsaka Tokiomi's amazing operation of taking ten steps at a time, the camera in the light screen image also changed at this moment.

The puppet Sakura, who had never appeared before, appeared in the light screen image.

But the place they were in was no longer in the city, but in front of a cave behind Yuanzang Mountain. They arrived here under the guidance of a black shadow.

Then, a voice sounded from the puppet Sakura: "Hmm? Sakura, why are you here? Is it the Holy Grail calling you?"

That voice is very familiar to people in the real world, because it is the voice of Zouken Matou.

Apparently, Zouken Matou seems to be hiding inside the doll Sakura.

Although we know that Sakura is a puppet, knowing that the old bug is inside her body still makes people's hair stand on end, their scalp tingle, and they feel very disgusted.

Then, before the puppet Sakura could answer, a person slowly walked out of the cave, accompanied by the background music of "Phantom City". A mature voice full of magnetism and charm rang out: "No, Sakura came here because she obeyed my orders, Mr. Matou."

"Or rather, Machiri-Zolgen."

As expected, Matou Zouken is Machiri Zorgen!

Although it has been exposed before, there has been no clear evidence. But now that the big boss Tōsaka Tokiomi has said the name himself, the answer is beyond doubt.

In an instant, many people felt complicated, many people sighed helplessly, and more people wanted to see Zouken Matou die quickly.

On the screen, Matou Zouken's astonished voice rang out: "Tōsaka Tokiomi, why are you here? And how do you know this name?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi maintained an elegant smile and said, "How ugly, Matou-san! I thought you could perform a little better, but it's clear that this is all you can do."

"Because of Kirei, the body he was using was purified, and he was forced to activate the core hidden within Sakura. With you like this, this is all you can do."

Matou Zouken's voice became a little scary: "You guy, what on earth are you talking about? Sakura, kill him immediately!"

“…” The puppet Sakura remained indifferent.

Matou Zouken was stunned: "Xiaoying, why don't you do it? Don't you listen to me?"

The puppet Sakura didn't respond, but just looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi, who kept his elegant smile and said, "Well, Sakura, Matou-san is no longer useful, let's catch him!"

Hearing this, the puppet Sakura nodded slightly, then suddenly raised her right hand and stabbed it hard into her chest, with a sound of flesh and blood being squeezed.

Matou Zouken's terrified voice was heard: "W-what are you doing? Sakura, what are you doing?"

The terrifying sounds and scenes made people in the real world feel their scalps tingling, and they felt like they were watching a horror movie again.

Especially since the doll Sakura only looks like a five-year-old girl, her expressionless behavior of stabbing herself in the heart is really terrifying.

The next moment, Sakura's right hand was pulled out from her chest, and a stream of blood splattered out.

However, black noodle-like tentacles emerged immediately, wrapped around the broken wound, and healed the wound in the next moment.

In Sakura's right hand, there was an extra thing. It was a bug-like thing with a long, spiral-shaped body. Its head was white, without eyes, and it had a long, pointed mouth that could be opened, not like an insect's.

It was stained with the blood of the puppet Sakura, and Sakura's right hand was also stained with blood and was tightly held by Sakura's right hand.

Then, the strange insect's voice rang out: "W-what's going on? W-why is this happening!?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at the bug and said, "Is this your true form, Matou-o? You've completely transformed yourself into an ugly and lowly bug, and are now living inside Sakura."

"Obviously, you've already made the preparations to seize Sakura's body, and to simply discard your original body when necessary, so that Sakura's body can be used for your own purposes."

Matou Zouken said in a panic: "Master Tosaka, what on earth is going on? Sakura, what are you doing..."

Even his title changed, from Tohsaka Tokiomi to the head of the Tohsaka family. He obviously knew that his life was now in the hands of others, so he was very panicked, showing his side of being a man who knew how to adapt to the times.

Facing such a Matou Zouken, Tōsaka Tokiomi simply said slowly: "At this point, Matou-san, does it matter whether you know the truth or not? However, if you absolutely want to know, that's fine too, so - recall it!"

When he said the last words, the camera showed an echo-like effect at this moment, and it was obvious that Tōsaka Tokiomi had done something again.

And something like a sound wave rushed into the monster insect's brain with the involved visual effects, and in an instant, the memories of Zouken Matou appeared.

The camera shows the Matou residence. It was the day when Tōsaka Tokiomi brought his doll Sakura to be adopted by Matou Zouken.

The two sides met in the living room, and then Zouken Matou noticed something strange about the doll Sakura. His expression instantly became cold and he wanted to get angry.

However, at this time, Tōsaka Tokiomi used Kyoka Suigetsu, and his posture was as elegant and calm as ever. Matou Zouken, who was hit, was stunned for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face. He said that he would take good care of Sakura, and at the same time, the look in his eyes when he looked at Sakura was full of malice and cruelty.

Afterwards, it was shown that after the insect entered Sakura's body, the structure of Sakura's body was obviously different from that of humans, but in Matou Zouken's vision, it was all a normal human body structure, which meant that everything he saw was an illusion controlled by the mirror flower and water moon.

This is quite terrifying. Even Zouken Matou, who has countless insect clones, has all the insects controlled along with him. Under the control of his five senses, everything he knows and feels is what Tōsaka Tokiomi wants him to see.

At the end of the memory, Matou Zouken's voice was unbelievable: "How is it possible...these are...what are these? What are these memories?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi kept smiling: "Your attainments in insect magic are superb, Matou-san. Every insect is controlled by you. Every insect is your clone. All senses are shared and under your complete control."

"But, for this very reason, my Mirror Flower Water Moon has complete control over you. Every one of your clones, every insect, is under Mirror Flower Water Moon's control, and you yourself are merely a puppet controlled by me."

Matou Zouken's voice was dull: "It's... like this... So... it's like this..."

Then, he became excited, "Why? Why? Why are you doing these things? What exactly do you want to do by controlling me?"

The camera gave Tōsaka Tokiomi a close-up, accompanied by a deep background music, he asked calmly: "Haven't you already done what I asked you to do?"
