Are You Two on a Date?

"What? The Holy Grail has been corrupted? What exactly is going on?" Irisviel's expression changed dramatically in an instant.

As the vessel of the Lesser Grail, if the Greater Holy Grail had truly been corrupted, then as more and more magical energy flowed into her body, she too would become corrupted.

"That begins with the previous Holy Grail War—the Third Holy Grail War sixty years ago. Your Einzbern family summoned a special Extra Class outside the rules: Avenger. The Heroic Spirit's name was Angra Mainyu."

At that point, Allen deliberately paused, admiring the intense shock in her eyes before smiling and nodding.

"That's right!

It's the very Angra Mainyu you're thinking of.

The dark god of dualism in Zoroastrianism.

Except this god was not as powerful and omnipotent as people imagined.

In truth, he was merely an ordinary young man forcibly burdened with all the evil in the world. He was cruelly killed, then reshaped a second time by the powerful wishes of countless people.

So although he was also a Heroic Spirit, his strength was despairingly weak.

He was eliminated on the fourth day after the Holy Grail War began and absorbed into the Holy Grail.

Then, the most interesting part began.

Normally, defeated Heroic Spirits lose their personalities and are absorbed into the Holy Grail as nothing but magical energy.

But Angra Mainyu was an aggregate of humanity's collective wishes!

So when he entered the Holy Grail, it was basically equivalent to countless people making a wish at the same time.

Even more incredibly, the Holy Grail accepted that wish.

Afterward, the Third Magic—Heaven's Feel—which your Einzbern family had pursued so desperately, was realized by Angra Mainyu, all the evil in the world.

In other words, the Holy Grail before you now is essentially Angra Mainyu's body.
