Two-dimensional Wanderer

"What is it?"

"Just like what you said just now, she also believes that there is no force in this world that can drill holes in the world barrier. If you want to reach the root cause, you can't rely on brute force, but only with the power of the world itself."

"The...power of the world itself?" Not only Webber, but everyone present was at a loss...except Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"It's not so much power, but rules." Matou Zuoyan replied: "The world is the world because it has perfect rules. Water always flows down, and fire always flows up high. Burn, people will die, if you drive at [-] kilometers per hour, you can drive [-] kilometers in an hour."

"Pfft!" Weber almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. The first half of the sentence was so tall, but the second half of the sentence was completely nonsense.

"Haha." Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Matou Zuoyan also laughed dryly: "Although it seems to be a matter of course, there must be a reason for it. Those who go with the flow are ordinary people, and those who ask the truth are wise people. It's so common for an apple to fall, didn't Newton also study gravity?"

Why did Newton get involved? Weber looked constipated, saying that a magician used a scientist as an example.

"Anyway, the world has its own set of rules, and if there is a deviation, it will be corrected." Matou Zuoyan said here, squinting at Yingluo, who was cooking rice in his mouth, and said faintly: "For example, Said, the undead that should have died reappeared."

"Heroic spirits..." The people present understood what he meant, and Weber pondered for a while and said, "That is to say, the rules of the world do not allow the existence of heroic spirits, and will they destroy them?"

"No, it's not eradication." Matou Zuoyan replied: "Since it exists, there is a need for existence. The appearance of heroic spirits is like an apple that should have been placed on a plate rolled onto the table, and the world has to do it. , but to put them in their place."

"Inhibition?" Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly said a word, which made Matou Zaiyan and Tohsaka Tokiomi look surprised.

"I didn't expect that you, a half-hearted magician, know a lot!" Matou Zuoyan did not deny it: "Yes, it is the restraint. It is the existence that maintains the rules of the world, and if it operates according to the established procedures, it will make everything." Irregular things come back under the 'rules'."

"The Holy Grail system temporarily deceived the restraint force and summoned the heroic spirits on the throne of the heroic spirits to the present world. This undoubtedly 'moved' things that should belong to the outside to the inside, which is against the rules, so the restraint force will start to work, To 'recall' these heroic spirits."

Weber glanced at Yingluo who was opening the No.20 six lunch boxes, and said helplessly: "But isn't Yingling here well? I didn't see the restraint to call someone back."

Matou Zouken shook his head: "No, the restraining force has already started to operate. Because the heroic spirits survive by magic power, as long as the magic power is exhausted, they will naturally return to the throne of the heroic spirits. Although the magic power reserves of the Holy Grail are huge, but There will always be a day when it runs out, according to the estimates of the first three people, the Holy Grail will completely lose its magic power in about 1000 years."

"1000 years?!" Weber exclaimed.

"It's not surprising." Matou Zouken said, "For human beings, 1000 years is indeed a long time. But for the whole world, 1000 years is just a flick of a finger."

"That's right...but isn't it that the restraint is working, why does it depend on time to make the heroic spirit disappear in the end?"

"Then what do you think? A lightning strike? An earthquake? Or another global flood?" Matou Zaiyan shook his head: "If that's the case, it's easier to handle. No matter what kind of disaster it is, there will always be The way to deal with it. But…”

"But what, you should say it quickly!" Weber scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and the magician's desire for knowledge was vividly displayed in him.

"It's the consumption of magic power." Emiya Kiritsugu said suddenly: "The consumption of magic power is the embodiment of restraint."

Matou Zuoyan sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, it is the consumption of magic power, this is a very common phenomenon." After speaking, he turned his head and asked Weber: "So little guy, tell me, how do you deal with it? The phenomenon of 'magic consumption'."

Webb was speechless.

As long as it is used, the magic power will be consumed, which can be said to be a general phenomenon of natural laws.If I really want to say it, it is probably that 1 minute is exactly 60 seconds, and tomorrow is exactly the same as the next day.

Although it is nonsense, it is also the truth, and it is even more desperate!

Because the more basic something is, the less flawed it is.

"I understand now, the inhibitory force is not the explosion and destruction you imagined, it will only 'correct' everything from the level of rules." Matou Zaiyan said: "Sometimes, the more you understand everything, the more you realize yourself. Weak, human beings, they are like poor worms kept in cages. Probably because of this, people subconsciously want to understand the root cause and reach the root cause.”

Except for someone who was still cooking rice, everyone else was lost in thought.The world seems to be an arranged script, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't jump out of the established frame.

It seems that human beings have lost their freedom unknowingly.

"Let's get down to business." Matou Zuoyan's voice sounded again, interrupting everyone's thoughts: "Inhibition is impossible to defeat, so the three initially decided to use this rule."

"How to use it?"

"Inhibition force has to recall Heroic Spirits, right, yes! Not only do they not stop them, but they want to speed up the process!"

"What? Why did they do it?"

"It's a bomb!" Emiya Kiritsugu said: "Although it's not too certain, the Heroic Spirits should also pass through the World Barrier when they return to the Throne of Heroes. If this is the case, then when they pass through the World Barrier, they will definitely leave behind hole!"

"Yes, the World Barrier itself is a manifestation of restraint, and even restraint itself is inevitable. But the hole caused by the return of a single heroic spirit is very small, and it will be filled immediately under the rules, so they decided to simply Build a heroic bomb!"

"This bomb is the Holy Grail. To be precise, the Little Holy Grail!"

Matou Zuoyan looked at Emiya Kiritsugu: "The 'Holy Maiden of Winter' Yustisa Lizleich von Einzbern, the ancestor of your wife and the first three people who founded the Holy Grail system One, in order to realize his ideals and pursuits, and to obtain the key called freedom for mankind, he did not hesitate to collapse himself and become a living sacrifice!"

------------

Chapter 74 What did you say

"Einzbern..." Emiya Kiritsugu repeated, in addition to missing and helpless, it was more self-blame and guilt.

Matou Zuoyan also sighed, unexpectedly similar to Emiya Kiritsugu, but looking closely, he still looked like a thin old man, as if the voice just now was not from him.

"The Holy Maiden of Winter in the past volunteered to be a living sacrifice, that is, the Little Holy Grail, whose function is to bind the souls of heroic spirits."

"And what about the purpose?" Webb asked.

Matou Zuoyan glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu and replied, "Just as he said, in order to create a 'bomb'!"

"Although heroic spirits are dead souls, they have been recognized by the world after being summoned to the world under the influence of magical power, as if they were stamped with a 'qualified' stamp on a contraband. Due to their special nature, their souls will return to the Throne of Heroes. This is also one of the rules, so the restraint force is powerless. Since they want to reach the outside from the internal test, they must inevitably pass through the world barrier, and in this process, they will Holes are left in the barrier."

"But as I said just now, the hole caused by a single hero passing through the barrier is too small and will be repaired immediately by the rules. So the role of the Little Holy Grail is to collect these souls and release them at the same time. The increase from one to seven has already It can produce qualitative changes, like a cluster bomb, blasting a hole in the world barrier that even living creatures can pass through."

"That is..."

"Yes, it's the black hole above your head!"

"But what are these black mud? According to the current situation, no one can pass through that hole!" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

"Yeah, really not." Matou Zuoyan did not refute, but said gloatingly: "But it's all your fault, Emiya Kiritsugu."

"Blame me?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, "Speak clearly!"

Matou Zuoyan laughed a few times, and said, "The outside is the source of truth, the source of the root. Do you think that everyone can pass through the hole? Of course, it must be controlled!"

Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly: "You mean...?"

"That's right!" Matou Zaiyan replied, "Little Holy Grail, even if it collects Heroic Spirits, it is a stabilizing device for the hole. It not only allows the hole to exist, but also restricts the magic power flowing in from the outside, just like a valve."

Emiya Kiritsugu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the hand holding the gun trembled involuntarily.

"It was you who ordered Saber to destroy the Little Holy Grail, so it's none other than you who caused the disaster now!"

It's you...it's you...it's you...

pat!

The firearm fell to the ground, and Emiya Kiritsugu also sat down.

It turned out that it was you who caused all this?

I thought that the old man in front of me was the mastermind behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that he was the real big boss!

What the hell have I done? !

"I don't even know what it is, and I want to destroy it just because it doesn't suit your intentions. It's an utterly ignorant idiot!" Matou Zaiyan tapped his cane on the ground twice, making a thumping sound. .

Emiya Kiritsugu was speechless.

Although he realized his mistake in the dialogue with the Holy Grail, he made the same mistake again.

"Now... what should we do?" Weber asked the question that everyone cared about.

A smile appeared on Matou's face, and he talked about it for a long time. What he was waiting for was now.

"The Holy Grail War has been fought four times, and it is the first time that the Little Holy Grail has gathered the souls of all seven Heroic Spirits. Now that the hole has been formed and the stabilization device has been destroyed, if you want to stop the magic power from the outside, even gathering the power of the entire world is not enough. Because the outside and the inside are not equal."

"Is there nothing you can do?"

"Of course...there is a way!" Matou Ziyan's dry face was full of pride: "The magic attribute of the old man is water, and it has the characteristics of swallowing. So the only way now is to let the old man devour the magic power on the outside. , Without the support of magic, these black mud will naturally disappear."

Webber was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: "That's the outside, the root cause, can you really devour those magic powers?" Also, can you really trust this weird old man like you?

But the second sentence he just wandered around in his heart and didn't say it.

"Could it be an old problem, and you have no other choice, don't you?" Matou Ziyan Jie Jie smiled: "The reason why I spend time chatting with you is to make Kong completely fixed."

Webber was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you delay time on purpose just now?"

"Not bad!" Matou Ziyan admitted generously: "As a magician, you should also understand that the 'passage' is the most vulnerable when it is first established. Collapse. But now it's too late, Kong has completely stabilized and no one can stop it!"

The violent hurricane suddenly blew, and the roar of the giant dragon sounded in the ear, and a fierce sword light swept the entire sky, hitting the black hole fiercely.With a shrill scream that seemed like nothing, the space was broken into pieces like glass, revealing the dark world behind. The moon-like black hole was torn to pieces by a huge force, and a two-thirds-sized piece was instantly shattered. was sucked in.

In the next second, the space was repaired, leaving only a black hole the size of a washbasin, floating in the air three to five meters above the ground.

The scene was silent, and everyone's face was full of surprise.

The steel sword was accurately sheathed, and the heroic spirit turned his head to the dull-looking Matou Zuoyan and said, "What did you just say?"

Say... say you're a big bastard!

Matou Zuiyan swooped over like a demon, his face was extremely hideous: "You actually ruined Kong, how dare you ruin the expectations of countless people, I want to kill you!"

The white light lit up, and the sword qi instantly cut Matong's dirty inkstone into pieces, but his stump fell to the ground, and there was no blood and no internal organs. Instead, several worm-like arthropods were born under the head, still facing Ying Luoda. Curse: "Do you know what you did, you destroyed the hope of mankind's freedom!"

"Hey, what you look like now is not even a human being, and you still want to represent all mankind?" Yingluo said disdainfully.

"Stupid! Stupid!" Matou Zuoyan kept shouting: "This is the moment when mankind is closest to the truth, but it was completely destroyed by you ignorant fool!"

"Reckless man?" Yingluo scratched his head, not only not angry, but rather happy.Reckless husband should be referring to men, it seems that even in a woman's body, his masculinity can't stop him.She giggled and said, "Old man, thank you for your compliment!"

You used to be an old man, the old guy called, but the other party agreed with you, so did you immediately change your name to the old man?

But the old man she was talking about was so angry at the moment, he yelled, "I'm not complimenting you!"

Yingluo covered her mouth and waved her hands: "Aiya, I'm already old, how arrogant you are."

"I..." It's also a pity that Matou Zuiyan only has a head at the moment, otherwise he would have had a heart attack.He let out a sigh of relief and decided not to reason with Berserker, the sick-minded guy, but shouted to Emiya Kiritsugu: "Hey, you want to save the world, send me into that black hole."

Chapter 75 Boy, Kill God

A pair of small white hands hugged Matou Zika's head, no matter how these hands looked, it was not that of Emiya Kiritsugu's facially paralyzed man.

Xiao Ying's voice sounded from the side, and she said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's too dangerous there. You're inconvenient now, so let me protect you."

Although there was nothing wrong with the words, Matou Zuoyan still shivered.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want grandpa to stay in a safe place." After Sakura finished speaking, the humanoid bug was summoned, and she started drooling at Matou's dirty inkstone.

"Wait a minute, you can't do that, I'm your grandfather!" Matou Zoiyan just finished speaking, Sakura flicked her hand and her head flew into the air.The humanoid worm jumped up instantly, and in one bite, it bit the head full of postmodernist art in its mouth.

The incomparably strong bite muscles exerted force, and Matou Zuiyan let out a scream, and blood spurted out from the gap between the insect's teeth, as if it had burst a juicy ball.

The insect swallowed the dead head into its stomach in two or three bites, showing a very humane expression of satisfaction.Sakura patted its head, the latter being as well-behaved as a kitten.

All the people at the scene took a sip of saliva, and even Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin were looking at their former relatives with an unfamiliar look.
