Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel - Chapter 98

A few seconds later, after thinking with his human mindset, Xiu Er came to a conclusion that even he found hard to accept.

First, the Holy Grail War.

As the name implied, it was a battle fought by a group of people called "Masters" over an omnipotent wish-granting device. This wish-granting device was the Holy Grail, and only the last surviving team—the "Master and Servant"—could possess it and fulfill their wish.

One was a village brawl involving at most a dozen people, while the other was a global war encompassing every race.

Conclusion: Star Cup War = Holy Grail War.

Since last night, everything Shishigou did had been under Xiu Er's surveillance.

Yet Shishigou himself was completely unaware of it. Even his Servant, Mordred, had failed to notice the hidden gaze watching them.
