A few minutes before Rider set off towards Ryuudou Temple at high speed...
Ryuudou Temple, Great Void.
As a medium for transporting magic power, Shinji, who transported magic power into Holy Grail System, cooperated with himself inside Holy Grail System to completely disintegrate the basic form of Holy Grail System and opened his eyes.
"The magic power is just enough, and the mental power is just enough. Go back and have a good sleep, I really feel a little tired~"
After muttering this casually, Shinji was ready to go back, but as soon as he turned around, he heard footsteps coming towards him.
Looking at Gilgamesh who stopped and put his hands in his pockets, his expression at the moment was not very good, Shinji showed a bit of helplessness.
"Yeah, yeah, it seems that my desire to go home and sleep normally today has become a little difficult."
"You are so courageous! Shinji, you dare to dispose of the king's property privately without realizing it!"
"Then what, Wang Sama, you are ready to beg for mercy and you have awakened——"
Ugh!!
Bang!!
Seeing the sword that was thrown by him and fell to his feet in an instant, shattering a large piece of the rocks on the side, which was probably a B-level sword, Shinji also stopped talking, touched the back of his head helplessly, and his expression became serious.
"Forget it, I'm still aware of things like today's end. I'm just a little regretful that I didn't get to see the priest's last expression. I think... it must be interesting."
Why didn't I think of that?
Gilgamesh was shocked, yes, why didn't he think of seeing Kirie's last expression? It must be interesting!
"Okay, Gilgamesh, let's get started."
With that said, Shinji reached out from the void (System Space) and pulled out an ordinary long sword that didn't look anything special.
Because of the other party's name, Gilgamesh showed a bit of displeasure, but because the other party's ability was too similar to his own, he couldn't help but become curious, and... it seemed to be a homemade weapon, and he had not included its prototype.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't have as many treasures as you. There are only two or three usable homemade weapons in the space. If converted into Heroic Spirit and Noble Phantasm, the highest level is only B level. This is still the highest quality weapon I can make so far."
"Hmph!"
Gilgamesh snorted coldly, "I'm looking down on you, Shinji. However... if you are just charged with privately disposing of the king's property, it won't be the death penalty. However, those two words are different. The king will personally execute you!"
Glancing at the two small characters "King's Mandate" engraved on the hilt of the sword, Shinji smiled lightly and waved it casually.
"Come on, Gilgamesh!"
I met Illya and others by chance, and after briefly understanding the whole story, I followed a few of them to Shirou of Great Void. After hearing Illya's guess about the man behind the scenes, I was a little unbelievable.
"Shinji?! Did Shinji do it?!"
"That kid?" Lancer, who was following him, was a little surprised. "I didn't expect it to be him. It's incredible. Speaking of which, Saber, why are you glaring at me? Do you want to fight? That's just right! I'm going to disappear anyway!"
Saber ignored Lancer and stared straight ahead as she hurried on, clenching her fists extremely tightly.
Originally, Holy Grail War was already stable this time. Although he did have a grudge against Illya, the opponent's Servant was indeed very powerful.
The two sides can finish the remaining Servant by rushing through the orders. In the end, if I think I am no worse than Betserker, I will take care of Betserker one-on-one, and I will basically get Holy Grail!
But before we could even start, what happened to the prize disappearing early?
What's going on?
Illya, who calmly took in the changes in Saber's expression, sighed softly and said, "Saber may have wanted to ask Shinji why she did this. After all, Saber has an extraordinary obsession with Holy Grail."
"I want to ask him too!" Rin, who was being led by Archer, clenched his fists and said angrily, "I always feel like he was fooled! Isn't it just for Holy Grail that we are working so hard? How dare he...!"
"I have been fooled by him a long time ago..." Archer snorted and said, "I have been fooled by him since the first night. If you think about it carefully, it seems that everything is inseparable from him, and all the results were caused by him.
Whether it's working with Berserker to deal with Caster, whether it's the synergy between Emiya Shirou and Illyasviel, or even if we're looking for Rider to cooperate..."
Shirou raised an objection. "No, these things have nothing to do with Shinji, right? Although the fight didn't happen because of him that night, the subsequent events have nothing to do with him!"
"It doesn't mean that it matters if you interfere completely, you idiot!"
Red A was not merciful at all when he mocked his past self.
Shirou was unhappy for a moment and retorted, "Who are you calling a fool? The guy who calls others a fool is a fool!"
"Shut up and listen to me! Idiot!" Red A shouted, and then explained with a frown, "The scary thing about that man is not here, the scary thing about him is that he only fiddles with some details that seem innocuous to us. Just a little fiddle can make things change to something else!
And...Illyasviel is the same, so is Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin, this Magecraft master from the Mage's Association, Lancer, Rider, and even me... may have been seen through by him..."
"You're lying, right? Is he really that powerful?" Rin expressed doubts.
"Well, although I don't want to think so, the other party has clearly seen the direction of this Holy Grail War from the beginning, and just fiddled with things that are insignificant in our eyes. His understanding of human nature surpasses all of us."
"No! No! He is not that kind of person! He saved me and even helped me! There must be a reason for him to do this!"
After hearing what Bazett blurted out, Rin was completely stunned. After staying for a while, he stumbled and asked, "What... Ms. Bazett, Shinji Matou, he... he saved you? Wait a minute, let me explain, he saved you and helped you? So Rider is..."
Bazett didn't speak again, maybe because he still felt in his heart that Shinji could not be related to such a dangerous matter as Holy Grail War.
Looking at Rin whose eyes were twitching, Archer snorted again and said, "Do you understand? Rin, the most terrifying enemy in this Holy Grail War is not Berserker, but the man who is not taken seriously by everyone! All he needs to do is think that Holy Grail will be his sooner or later!"
"That's not right, Archer," Rin thought of something again, and continued, "Although I already understand that if this development continues, he will indeed become Holy Grail's most powerful competitor, but why does he To dismantle Holy Grail System? As long as it continues, he is obviously the most likely person to obtain Holy Grail. After all, he secretly controls all the directions of Holy Grail War..."
"Probably... maybe it's because he saw through the truth about Holy Grail in the process."
"The truth?" Rin was puzzled.
Illya nodded slightly and continued, "Well, maybe he has realized the truth that Holy Grail is not a universal wish machine, so maybe he gave up the original purpose midway. Of course, he is a guy that I have not been able to see through until now. No one can understand his true thoughts except himself."
Shirou thought of something at this time and asked, "Let me interrupt, it means that Shinji gave Rider to Lancer's original Master, but Didn't Shinji summon Servant? Classmate Tohsaka also said that Command Spells appeared on Shinji's body, but Servant was not summoned..."
"Probably...Makiri summoned it and gave it to him before his death, and Shinji Matou inherited the Servant and true long-cherished wish left by Makiri."
After all, based on all the information currently available, Illya thought of the only possibility:
With the help of Shinji, Zouken finally recalled his true long-cherished wish.
At the last moment, he liberated Sakura and used his authority to summon Rider and entrusted Servant and his long-cherished wish to Shinji.
But Shinji did not summon another Servant as Zouken wanted to increase Holy Grail War's winning rate.
Instead, he chose to participate in Holy Grail War in his own way, by changing the direction of Holy Grail War and secretly controlling Holy Grail War.
However, during this process, Shinji gradually discovered the fact that Holy Grail had been contaminated, so in order not to cause widespread harm, he resolutely dismantled Holy Grail System!
Thinking of this, Illya also has a new understanding of Shinji. To describe it roughly, he is concerned about the country and the people, and he is also a righteous little friend!
"Illyasviel, Holy Grail is not a universal wishing machine. What do you mean?"
Saber suddenly stopped at this time, pointed her sword at Berserker to force him to stop, and asked coldly.
"Saber, now is not the time to talk about this. Didn't classmate Tohsaka just say that Shinji is in danger? It's better to hurry up..."
"No, please tell me! Illyasviel!"
Looking at Saber's overly serious expression, Illya sighed again, "Hey~ let's talk as we walk, I will tell you everything I know..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shirou suddenly discovered something. He stared at Ryuudou Temple not far away with his eyes wide open and looked at the dazzling bright light caused by the sudden explosion not far away!
"That... that is...!"
Rin was extremely decisive. "Archer, there is no time to wait! Let's hurry up!"
The time came to five minutes ago, Great Void.
Shinji glanced at the King's Decree Sword in his hand, which was already full of pits and only half of it was left. He felt helpless, and then casually threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
Shinji also knows that the other party has indeed kept his hand. Noble Phantasms above B level have not been thrown out. They are all Noble Phantasms of B level and below. However, even so, he has no chance to get close. Just those countless Noble Phantasms make him confused.
"Gilgamesh, one of my best weapons has been shattered, but I still have one last move left. Do you want to try it? So far, the strongest move I have never used..."
"Roar?" Gilgamesh clearly showed some of his nature and put back the weapon he was about to shoot again.
"If you want to try it, go outside. This place cannot withstand such power."
With that said, Shinji took the lead in putting his pockets in and jumped up to a high place, and then walked towards the outside of Great Void's cave, while Gilgamesh also put in his pockets and followed slowly...
