Seeing this, both Medea and Joan of Arc could not help showing anxious expressions.

"I'm fine. I'll be better in a while," Su Luo said with a smile, reassuring them.

After merging the Holy Grail into his body, he immediately felt a powerful malice sweep through his entire being.

Tempting words echoed through his mind, trying to assimilate him and turn him into its host.

However, Su Luo's Super Adaptation Trait began to take effect.

Not only did it adapt to the negative effects All the World's Evil brought him, it also devoured Angra Mainyu's consciousness along the way.

Now, he had obtained all of All the World's Evil's abilities.

The Holy Grail had also returned to its original form.

Hearing this, Medea wanted to step forward and examine Su Luo's condition, but Joan of Arc reached out and stopped her.

"Wait, Caster. You can't go over there. We still don't know whether Su Luo has been controlled by the thing inside," Joan of Arc said solemnly as she watched Su Luo.

The moment she had seen the Holy Grail, her Revelation skill had activated, and an image of black mud spreading throughout Fuyuki City had appeared in her mind.

Therefore, she knew that All the World's Evil inside the Holy Grail was not something an ordinary Magus could handle at all.

Yet she had failed to stop Su Luo and had let him come into direct contact with the corrupted Holy Grail.

Now, seeing that Su Luo showed no signs of being controlled by All the World's Evil at all—

She could not determine whether he had truly been affected by All the World's Evil.

Medea could not care less about that. She directly shook off Joan of Arc's arm and ran to Su Luo.

Seeing this, Joan of Arc sighed helplessly before quickly following Medea.

She gripped her flag tightly, prepared to rescue Medea at any moment.

The Holy Grail War Ends, Leticia's Longing

Meanwhile, Medea ran up to Su Luo and examined his body, anxiety written across her beautiful face.

"Don't worry. It's merely All the World's Evil. Watch me refine it in an instant!" Su Luo said, slightly raising his chin with an extremely proud look.

Even so, Medea still felt uneasy.

She used various spells to thoroughly inspect Su Luo's body and soul once more.

She found that there was nothing abnormal about him. In fact, both his body and soul were exceptionally strong.

Only then did Medea finally relax.

"The next time you do something so dangerous, could you tell us in advance? You nearly worried me to death," Medea said coquettishly.

"As my Servant, you should have a little more faith in me, your Master," Su Luo said with a smile.

He had so many wonderful things by his side. He would not casually gamble with his own life.

Joan of Arc, who had been observing for a long time, also sighed in relief at the sight.

"You successfully eliminated the source of disaster in Fuyuki City. That truly is remarkable," Joan of Arc said with a smile as she came before Su Luo and praised him.

"So, what are your plans next?"

As a Ruler, she could clearly sense the locations and conditions of the Servants within Fuyuki City.

The Black Faction's Archer, the King of Heroes Gilgamesh, had once again died from his own recklessness.

Although Gilgamesh had sensed that something was wrong, he had ultimately been a step too slow.

Moreover, at the critical moment, he had still hesitated over whether to go all out, allowing Wang Xiaomei and the others to seize the opportunity.

All the Servants, including Artoria, unleashed their Noble Phantasms together and sent him back to the Hall of Heroes.

In the end, Wang Xiaomei and the others had won the battle.

As for the remaining Black Faction Masters, nearly all of them were Su Luo's people, so continuing the fight was clearly impossible.

This also meant that the Holy Grail War had ended.

"I have already gained complete control of the Holy Grail. If you are willing, become my Servants and assist me at my side." Su Luo extended his hand toward Joan of Arc and Medea.

"With pleasure." Medea answered immediately and placed her soft little hand over the back of Su Luo's hand.

"I descended into this world by possessing someone, so I cannot make the decision alone," Joan of Arc said hesitantly.

Although she wanted to remain by Su Luo's side, the girl she had possessed still had a life of her own.

She could not keep her in this unfamiliar city forever.

"I'm willing. I'm willing to stay by Mr. Su's side."

The girl named Leticia spoke in Joan of Arc's mind at that moment.

She had not fallen asleep. She had been observing the Holy Grail War all along.

She had personally witnessed the mystery of magecraft, witnessed Su Luo dispel Kirei Kotomine's confusion, and witnessed Su Luo defeat Servants.

She had also witnessed Su Luo fearlessly merge the corrupted Holy Grail into his own body at the critical moment, taking on All the World's Evil himself. (She imagined the rest.)

Having witnessed everything Su Luo had done, the pure-hearted girl naturally developed favorable feelings toward him.

Therefore, even if it meant leaving her hometown and staying in an unfamiliar city, she was willing to follow Su Luo.

Feeling Leticia's emotions and resolve, Joan of Arc smiled as well.

"Leticia is willing to stay here. I just wonder whether Su Luo is willing to take us in?"

"Of course. In a few days, I'll have someone handle the paperwork and transfer Leticia to a school here."

"You should also go back and tell your family."

Su Luo's last sentence was clearly directed at Leticia.

His gaze was profound, and he looked straight through Joan of Arc to see Leticia's soul.

"Okay," Leticia replied softly.

Just then, a gunshot rang out with a bang.

Su Luo and the others turned to look.

They discovered that Kiritsugu Emiya had used an Origin Bullet to kill himself.

After confirming that Su Luo had dealt with All the World's Evil inside the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya decisively drew his gun and took his own life.

That shot not only repaid the life he owed Su Luo, but also granted himself complete release.

This time, Su Luo said nothing. He merely used Imaginary Space to bury Kiritsugu Emiya's corpse underground.

He then took Joan of Arc and Medea to meet up with Wang Xiaomei and the others.

Inside Einzbern Castle.

Wang Xiaomei and the others had captured Tokiomi Tohsaka and brought him back. Through the Chat Group's mission system, they already knew that Su Luo had dealt with All the World's Evil.

They quietly waited inside the castle for Su Luo's return.

"Sakura?! You're alive?!" Tokiomi Tohsaka's face revealed a flash of joy when he saw Mato Sakura.

He had originally believed that his beloved daughter had perished alongside the Matou family that night.

He had never expected to see her here.

"Did Su Luo capture you and bring you here?" Tokiomi Tohsaka hurriedly asked as he thought of something.

As early as the first night of the Holy Grail War, they had begun suspecting that Su Luo was the culprit behind the destruction of the Matou family.

After all, aside from Caster and her Master, nearly every Master had revealed themselves that night.

Su Luo was the only unfamiliar Master who had appeared that night, so naturally he and the Church began investigating Su Luo's background.

However, they could not find any information about Su Luo at all.

It was as though Su Luo had appeared out of thin air.

Then the Holy Grail underwent an abnormal change, forcing them to temporarily put the matter aside and discuss countermeasures with the Masters who had originally been their enemies.

Until now, when their Black Faction had been completely defeated and he had been captured by the Red Faction Masters and brought here.

Yet unexpectedly, misfortune had turned into a blessing, and he had learned that Mato Sakura was still alive.

However, the moment they heard Tokiomi Tohsaka's words, the expressions of the King of Lions and the others instantly darkened.

What did he mean Su Luo had captured Mato Sakura and brought her back? Couldn't he speak properly?

Wang Xiaomei was even more direct. She sternly said, "Do you even know how to talk? If Su Luo hadn't saved Sakura, do you think you would be seeing her in her current state?!"

"Saved Sakura? What do you mean?" Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression changed upon hearing that.

He did not think Wang Xiaomei would lie.

After all, he was a defeated prisoner. What could they possibly gain by deceiving him?

"The Matou family fell into corruption long ago. Zouken Matou's original name was Makiri Zolgen. To keep living, he used Bug Arts to switch bodies countless times and prolong his life. The current Matou family is merely an Insect Pit Zouken Matou created to keep himself alive."

"What did you think would happen after you sent Sakura to the Matou family? Didn't you investigate them beforehand before sending her there?" Wang Xiaomei demanded sharply.

"I..." Tokiomi Tohsaka opened his mouth. He desperately wanted to explain, but when he looked at Mato Sakura and saw her immediately hide behind the King of Lions—

His throat tightened, and no explanation would come out.

Even his biological daughter instinctively avoided him upon seeing him. There was no need to think about it to know how deeply this matter had scarred Mato Sakura's young heart.

At this point, no matter what explanation he offered, it would likely be feeble and meaningless.

Su Luo: Look, He Still Has to Thank Me

Just as the atmosphere inside Einzbern Castle fell silent, Su Luo and the other two stepped out of Imaginary Space.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, I've finally met you." Su Luo immediately spotted Tokiomi Tohsaka kneeling on the ground as though confessing his mistakes.

Looking at the Servants' expressions and the atmosphere around them, he immediately understood that Tokiomi Tohsaka had learned about the Matou family.

However, he did not care. After having the system bind Tokiomi Tohsaka, he prepared to deal with him.

"Big brother, don't send me back." Mato Sakura hurriedly ran to Su Luo's side and hugged him.

"Okay. I won't send you back." Su Luo picked Mato Sakura up and smiled as he comforted her.

"Mr. Su, thank you very much for saving Sakura. I know I have no right to say this now, but I still hope you can treat Sakura and my family well," Tokiomi Tohsaka pleaded.

As a Magus, he understood better than anyone just how cruel the world of magecraft was.

Therefore, he did not beg Su Luo to spare him for Mato Sakura's sake.

Instead, he chose to ask Su Luo not to harm Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin because of him.

"For Sakura's sake, I naturally won't harm Tohsaka Aoi or Tohsaka Rin. Likewise, I'll raise Sakura into an outstanding Magus, so you can rest assured about that," Su Luo said calmly.

Even if Tokiomi Tohsaka had not said anything, he would have taken care of Tohsaka Aoi, Tohsaka Rin, and Mato Sakura.

After all, he was a man with the makings of a chancellor.

Of course, that only applied to private cars. Public buses were out of the question.

A private car was at least for personal use. Aside from its owner, no one else would get in, so it was cleaner.

But anyone could get on a public bus. No matter how expensive the vehicle was, he simply could not bring himself to like it.

"As for you, for Sakura's sake, I can help fulfill the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish and use the Holy Grail to help you reach the Root." Su Luo's expression remained calm as he spoke.

Yet the other people present all revealed strange expressions when they heard that.

Of course, they did not think Su Luo was kind-hearted, comparable to some saint of the new era.

They simply felt that Su Luo was being a little too inhuman.

It sounded nice enough.

Helping the Tohsaka family fulfill their long-cherished wish.
