Although she knew that Kirei Kotomine and Aika Sajo before her were both Masters of the Black Faction, neither they nor Su Luo had any intention of fighting at the moment.

Since that was the case, she naturally had to seize the time to fill her stomach.

When Kirei Kotomine, sitting opposite him, saw Su Luo preparing to taste the insanely spicy noodles, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and look at Su Luo with expectant eyes.

Su Luo was not flustered by this. He picked up noodles from the pile of chilies in the bowl and put them into his mouth.

In an instant, a spicy sensation bloomed on his tongue and quickly began to spread.

However, in the next moment, Su Luo's Super Adaptation trait began to work.

In just a moment, Su Luo adapted to this level of spiciness.

His expression and complexion were exactly the same as usual, without the slightest change.

Seeing this, Kirei Kotomine's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

He did not see the scene he had expected.

However, he felt admiration for Su Luo in his heart.

After all, he could swallow the insanely spicy noodles without changing his expression, and even ate all the soup and chilies. He himself could not do such a thing.

Throughout the meal, Kirei Kotomine's mindset began to change.

When he saw Su Luo arrive, he knew that the "that person" mentioned by Aika Sajo was this young man before him.

It was he who had Aika Sajo bring him to this place, finding the meaning in his life.

Thinking of this, Kirei Kotomine bowed slightly and thanked him solemnly:

"Thank you for having someone bring me here, letting me know what I should do next. If you ever need me in the future, come find me, and I will do my best to help you."

After some communication.

Kirei Kotomine went to ask the shop owner for culinary knowledge, intending to transfer professions and become the "Mapo Priest."

However, before Su Luo left, he also transferred the Command Spells of Hassan of the Hundred Faces to Su Luo.

This also signified his withdrawal from participating in this Holy Grail War.

Leaving the restaurant.

Su Luo had Hassan of the Hundred Faces appear, had the system bind him, and then used the Command Spells given by Kirei Kotomine to strengthen Hassan of the Hundred Faces, finally ordering him to assassinate Gilgamesh to annoy the other party.

After Hassan of the Hundred Faces left, Joan of Arc said with some emotion, "Su Luo, thank you for the meal."

"I saw everything that just happened, and you are not as wicked as I imagined."

When she had learned that the Master who expanded the scale of the Holy Grail War was Su Luo, she had thought he was a magician with a wicked personality.

After all, who would expand the scale of the Holy Grail War for no reason?

The battles between Servants were no joke.

If one was not careful, the entire Fuyuki City could be destroyed.

But when she saw him help Kirei Kotomine dispel his inner confusion and find his true self, she realized that Su Luo was not as wicked as she had imagined.

He was not a devil who killed without mercy.

On the contrary, he was a handsome, radiant, and charming young man.

Just as God brings light to people in darkness, dispelling their confusion, He was also helping confused people find their direction in life.

And that person was his enemy.

What great benevolence this was.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the reason she was summoned by the Holy Grail as Ruler

was not just to supervise the Holy Grail War.

There must also be God's will in this.

God had her meet Su Luo here.

Allowing her to see Su Luo's flaws, she also saw his potential to become a Catholic believer.

To prevent Su Luo from going down a path of no return and meeting a destructive end, God guided her to this Holy Grail War to help Su Luo onto the righteous path!

Looking at Joan of Arc, who suddenly began to pray, Su Luo felt a wave of malice wash over him.

He half-closed his eyelids and stared at Joan of Arc for a long time.

His intuition told him that Joan of Arc was thinking of something bad at this moment.

"Lord Su Luo, after tonight, will I be able to stay by your side?"

At this moment, Aika Sajo looked at Su Luo with expectant eyes.

"Yes, I will end the Holy Grail War tonight!" Su Luo said solemnly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Joan of Arc, who had been praying, immediately began to overthink.

"I see, I understand."

"The reason you modified the rules of the Holy Grail War was to make the Masters, who were originally killing each other, form a suspicious team.

Then, you would have someone you trust become a Master, and have them lead their Servants to defeat the Servants of the Black Faction one by one, thus quickly ending this Holy Grail War."

"To free the residents of Fuyuki City from their suffering and persecution by the Holy Grail War."

"Your mercy and love, just like the Lord's, bring endless gentleness and tolerance to people."

As she spoke, Joan of Arc actually knelt on one knee before Su Luo, assuming a posture of prayer.

Su Luo: ...

Seeing this scene, Su Luo was completely bewildered, not knowing what Joan of Arc was doing.

However, what was certain was that Joan of Arc's thoughts had definitely been idealized.

She had mentally reframed all of his recent and past actions as "him wanting to save people from dire straits."

It was just that he didn't understand why Joan of Arc had suddenly become like this.

Could his [Grand Caster Succubus] Trait also have the effect of idealizing people's thoughts?

No, this was likely a conflict between Joan of Arc's love and her faith.

Due to his powerful charm, Joan of Arc and Melly, like the King of Lions, had developed a great fondness for Su Luo.

However, the actions of the person she loved conflicted with her faith and ideals, so her brain, driven by love, began to automatically rationalize Su Luo's actions and their "purpose."

Finding all sorts of excuses for Su Luo.

As Su Luo reached this conclusion, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He shook his head, quickly calmed himself, cast aside extraneous thoughts, and used Clairvoyance to observe the situation of Wang Xiaomei and the others.

At this moment, Frieren had finished her battle and was taking Semiramis to support Kaguya Houraisan and the others.

They were facing Gilgamesh. Even though he was acting recklessly and not using his full power, it was still very difficult for Kaguya Houraisan and the others to defeat him.

Moreover, they had already agreed that as soon as someone finished their battle, they would immediately bring their Servant to support another group member.

Finally, they would have all the Servants confront Gilgamesh and take him down by surprise before he could unleash his full power.

This was to prevent Gilgamesh from getting serious, which would only leave Su Luo to rely on him.

As for Wang Xiaomei's side, Cú Chulainn was holding his ground admirably.

He had been fighting Morgan for ten minutes and still hadn't fallen.

Of course, besides Cú Chulainn's own powerful strength, Morgan was also holding back.

She had noticed that Su Luo seemed to have a very keen interest in Servants.

Although she didn't know what Su Luo was planning, since it was something Su Luo wanted, she would naturally find a way to help him obtain it.

That was why she had been engaging him in a protracted battle.

As for Lumine and Medusa, there had been a slight accident.

At this moment, they were bringing the injured Medea and Kiritsugu Emiya towards his location.

Seeing this, Su Luo activated Imaginary Number Magic and used imaginary space to directly transfer them to his presence.

Chapter 33: Binding Medea and Cú Chulainn

"Huh? Isn't this Su Luo? How did we suddenly get here?"

Before Lumine could even speak after being suddenly transferred to Su Luo's presence, her divine mouth, Paimon, immediately exclaimed in surprise.

However, Paimon wasn't one to dwell on details, especially since they had important matters to discuss with Su Luo.

After her initial surprise, Paimon got straight to the point.

"Su Luo, look who we brought you!"

As she said this, little Paimon excitedly pointed at Kiritsugu Emiya and Medea.

According to Medea, Kiritsugu Emiya had a grudge against Su Luo.

And since she intended to defect to Su Luo, she planned to capture Kiritsugu Emiya and hand him over to Su Luo for disposal.

In response, Lumine knew that Medea wasn't lying when she saw her.

Although she was known as the Witch of Betrayal, Lumine, having read the group files, knew her true nature.

Coupled with Su Luo being the Grand Caster Succubus, She had already guessed most of Medea's intentions.

That is, when other Servants wanted to become Su Luo's Servants, or Servants who were his friends were summoned to the present world, Medea took a different approach. She responded to Kiritsugu Emiya's summoning, allowed herself to be summoned to the present world first, and then used her Noble Phantasm, Chains of Heaven, to break her contract with Kiritsugu Emiya before going to find Su Luo.

What Medea didn't expect was that Kiritsugu Emiya had just offended Su Luo. Upon hearing Kiritsugu Emiya plotting how to deal with Su Luo, she had already planned a betrayal.

Therefore, when Lumine approached Kiritsugu Emiya, Medea directly betrayed Kiritsugu Emiya, brought him before Lumine, and intended to have Lumine take her to see Su Luo.

Lumine gave Su Luo a general rundown of the situation, then took Medusa to support Kaguya Houraisan and the others.

Medea suddenly became nervous standing in front of Su Luo.

This was because she knew her reputation in mythological records was quite poor, especially after she had backstabbed Kiritsugu Emiya in front of Su Luo and Lumine.

This would only make Su Luo believe even more that the mythological records were accurate.

Just as Medea was lost in thought with a hint of melancholy, Su Luo walked up to her and, under Aika Sajo's somewhat envious gaze, intertwined his fingers with hers.

"No need to say more, I understand what you mean."

"Declare..." Su Luo once again chanted the incantation, forming a contract with Medea.

Seeing this, Medea couldn't help but shed tears.

A smile of joy mixed with tears appeared on her face. "In the name of Caster, I accept your contract. From now on, you are my Master."

"I, Medea, swear here that I will become the most loyal and capable mage under your command."

The contract was signed. Medea glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was lying on the ground, and asked, "Master, how should we deal with this guy?"

When Kiritsugu Emiya summoned her, he already knew she was that infamous betrayer witch.

Therefore, as soon as they met, he had used a Command Spell to prevent her from betraying him.

Medea wasn't angry about this.

Because this time, she had truly intended to betray Kiritsugu Emiya for Su Luo.

Now that Kiritsugu Emiya was in Su Luo's hands, his fate would naturally be decided by Su Luo.

"Killing him like this is meaningless. Death would be a form of release for him," Su Luo glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya.

He knew exactly what Kiritsugu Emiya was thinking.
