Orsaga was a complex individual.
In most circumstances,
his principles of action and thought patterns were indeed rather extreme.
Calling him mentally ill or a madman
would not have been wrong at all.
But from another perspective, he possessed certain qualities that ordinary people considered quite precious.
For example:
Ever since his birth,
he had disliked lying.
It was his habit.
Even when he needed to deceive someone, he mostly used the truth.
Such as a trimmed-down truth, or a truth with its central idea shifted, to deceive others.
Therefore,
the Holy Grail War at hand was indeed cruel.
But its benefits were equally obvious.
Just as he had said before,
making wishes
was the reward belonging to the victor.
Even if those wishes were limited,
to the countless ordinary beings, they were still the ultimate reward!
More than worth risking one's life to seize!!
Lifespan, treasures, Cultivation Methods, reviving the dead...
Everything.
Including all sorts of things that had once been beyond reach, or even too unimaginable to contemplate.
As long as they were within the limits, they could all be made real!
Even
the Control Authority of the world, reversing the entire Worldline, remaking the existing order according to one's wishes... all of it could be done!
Without exaggeration,
this supreme treasure
had been displayed by Orsaga in advance at the very beginning of the game.
It was endless glory!
And endless wealth and power!
It was simply that,
for the moment,
aside from the other bettors, none of those ignorant ordinary beings had noticed it yet...
In the future, once they learned the true meaning and importance of the Holy Grail War,
as the intervals between each round of Holy Grail War continued to lengthen,
perhaps
how to ensure their participation in the next Holy Grail War
