Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

Chapter 216 The Church's Decision

There was another rustling sound in the darkness.

The sounds of moving chairs, standing up, flapping wings, and leaving mixed together and gradually disappeared.

I originally thought that the rules of the Holy Grail had changed or that additional conditions had been added, but I didn't expect that it was just confirming the information provided by Caster.

Now that Kotomine Rizheng had finished his story, there was no point in letting the familiar stay here any longer.

For the Master, if the Supervisor's advice is helpful, then listen carefully.

But if the supervisor's advice is to impose restrictions on yourself, just ignore it.

As for the Supervisor's suggestion to suspend the Holy Grail, it was simply a joke.

Just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Even though he knew that the entire Holy Grail ceremony had been contaminated and that the wishes made would be filled with malice, and even though he knew that the church called on everyone to suspend the war, who would listen to his advice?

Kenneth?

He now wishes he could eat Kiritsugu's bones and flesh. He has been crippled by Kiritsugu, and even though he knows that the wish of the Holy Grail has been distorted, he will still hold on to it tightly and continue on his dark path.

After all, only the Holy Grail can heal the magic marks on his body. Just like a drowning man, he will grab it without hesitation even if there is only a life-saving straw.

Toosaka Tokiomi?

His long-cherished wish is to reach the source through the hole created by the Holy Grail. Even if the Holy Grail is contaminated, as long as a hole leading to the outside of the world can still be created and he can enter the hole and contact the source, the contamination of the Holy Grail will have nothing to do with him.

As for the fact that many people will die?

I've already gone to the source, why should I care if many people will die?

Weber?

Waver was completely unable to control Rider's actions. In the eyes of other Masters, Waver had become Rider's puppet.

Chen Yu?

As the first Master to know that the Holy Grail is contaminated, even if he has a way to purify the entire magic circle, the Masters of other camps will not believe it. They will only perform the purification ceremony of the Holy Grail with kindness, and will not tamper with the Holy Grail system when purifying the large magic circle.

What's more, what Naiyali wanted was the black mud in the Holy Grail, so how could she help others get rid of the "feast" that Naiyali had been longing for for a long time.

As for Matou Kariya?

He hasn't even sent out his familiars yet, let alone given any face to the church.

The only person who is most affected by this call is probably Emiya Kiritsugu, who wants to rely on the Holy Grail to save the world.

With the church's endorsement, the contamination of the Holy Grail was an established fact.

With the departure of all the familiars, the church became empty again.

Kotomine Kirei stepped out from the shadows.

At this time, he changed back into his priest attire.

"Kirei, take a look at this."

Looking at the church that seemed empty again after all the familiars had left, Kotomine Li was looking seriously at his proud son.

He took out an investigation document and handed it to Kotomine Kirei.

The object of the investigation is the latest investigation into the Holy Grail system of the Yuanzang Mountain Great Hollow.

Kotomine Kirei quickly flipped through the document, his eyes becoming more and more serious.

"According to the report brought by the investigators, the investigators found that the Holy Grail system had been tampered with. I suspect it might be Caster, who is the most capable Heroic Spirit among all the Servants to change the Holy Grail ritual, but the possibility that it was Tōsaka, Matou or Einzbern who made the modification is not ruled out. After all, the Church has not paid too much attention to Mt. Enzo in the past sixty years, and it is not clear when they tampered with the Holy Grail system. Since Assassin's defeat, the Holy Grail system in the Great Hollow of Mt. Enzo has begun to operate, and it is now very unstable. It is like a volcano that has awakened from its slumber, an active volcano that has been activated and may erupt at any time. Can you imagine, Kirei, what consequences will be caused if a spiritual vein that has contained sixty years of malignant magic becomes unstable?"

"It will cause a major earthquake in Fuyuki..."

Seeing the terrible consequences speculated in the document, Kotomine Kirei's expression became even more serious.

The entire island nation is located in the Pacific Rim seismic belt, and the earth's crust itself is unstable.

In addition, many areas of Fuyuki City were built on land reclaimed from the sea. If the largest spiritual vein in Fuyuki City was allowed to explode, the power would be enough to cause a major earthquake of magnitude 7 or above, causing ground subsidence, tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, and countless houses to collapse and be damaged.

Perhaps Naiyali did not realize that simply deleting a few seemingly useless runes would cause such a big change.

This also tells us a truth: once a program is running, it is best not to tamper with it.

Otherwise, no one knows which will come first, the accident or the bug.

"This side of the church?"

"God loves the world. It's OK that the church doesn't know. Since they know that there is a flaw in the Holy Grail ceremony, they will naturally not watch the innocent lambs in the entire city fall into despair. I have applied to the church for the 'Yuanzang Mountain Large Hollow Blasting Plan' and sent people to find the intersection of the Yuanzang Mountain Large Hollow Spiritual Veins, preparing to detonate the spirit veins in advance, induce a regional earthquake, and artificially control the scope of the earthquake near Yuanzang Mountain."

"What did the teacher say?"

As a magician who is a partner of the church, Risei would naturally inform the Toosaka family in advance.

"I didn't tell Brother Tokiomi about the church's plan. I only informed him privately in advance that the Holy Grail ritual was contaminated. But Brother Tokiomi thought that this was just a normal phenomenon when the ritual started. As long as the entire Holy Grail ritual was completed as soon as possible, the crisis would naturally be resolved. Alas... Facing the family's long-cherished wish, even someone like Brother Tokiomi is confused..."

Kotomine Kirei did not doubt his father's words. As a monk who gained enlightenment through asceticism, even though he had a deep friendship with the head of the Tōsaka family, when faced with major issues, Kotomine Kirei would still stand firmly on the side of the church.

"Kirei, you don't have to feel sorry that your teacher couldn't realize his long-cherished wish. You have given him a lot of help. Assassin was defeated under his orders... No one expected that there would be problems with the Holy Grail ceremony itself. No one could have predicted this. You don't have to feel sad about it."

"Kirei, your previous mission has ended. Go to Mount Enzo and supervise the implementation of the 'Mount Enzo Great Cavity Demolition Plan'."

Kotomine Li was looking at her son leaving her with a kind look.

He believed that Kotomine Kirei would complete his mission.

This is my own pride, but also God's grace.

Kotomine Rimasa has always believed that his son is a natural saint and his pride.

I always believed it and never doubted it until my death.
