Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

Lan Ze smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment before asking, "... How did you get here?"

Ereshkigal's gaze turned cold. She pursed her lips and gave a haughty snort, "You don't welcome me?"

Lan Ze smiled gently, "No, I'm just a little curious."

Mother of All is a beast, so it's not surprising that she can Independent Manifestation. But the question is, Ereshkigal a god, so why can she also descend into the Holy Grail War?

Merlin glanced up, his gaze lingering on Lan Ze and Ereshkigal for a moment. He hesitated, thinking to himself, "Why does this atmosphere seem less like master and servant and more like a young couple arguing, with the girl waiting for her boyfriend to apologize...?"

Even if Lan Ze were incredibly bold, he couldn't possibly have any intimate interactions with the daughter of the Creation Mother Goddess, could he?

"I was summoned by that beast willingly," Ereshkigal said in a cold tone.

"Oh, is that so? You're here to help me?" Lan Ze showed an "I see" expression and walked towards Ereshkigal.

But Ereshkigal was still clearly indulging in her pride, and angrily shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

But Lan Ze didn't slow down; instead, he continued walking towards her. The once arrogant Goddess of the Underworld instantly lost her composure, instinctively shrinking back, but glaring angrily at Lan Ze: "This time, I'm going to teach that disloyal bastard a lesson he won't forget!"

As she spoke, a hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes. She didn't take another step back, just watched as the boy walked up to her and then they embraced like long-lost lovers.

Merlin had finally managed to slip out of the pit, was about to complain about the Goddess of the Underworld who had attacked his teammate, but when he turned around, he saw that the Goddess of the Underworld, who had just been indifferent, was now bowing her head, her face flushed with a drunken blush, and the boy was holding the goddess's waist, looking incredibly intimate.

The white-haired monk, who was oblivious to emotions, suddenly had a subtle look in his eyes.

After finally calming Ereshkigal down, Lan Ze suddenly turned to her and said, "By the way, Merlin, you've come at the right time. There's something I'd like to ask you."

Merlin snapped out of his reverie, instinctively took a half-step back, and smiled slightly, "Yes, go ahead and say it."

The situation is getting a bit bad... Originally, he wanted to work with his teammates to capture Lan Ze and then try to use "love" to influence his Master.

But now it seems the situation has reversed in an instant. The Goddess of the Underworld that the Master just summoned almost instantly betrayed him and joined Lan Ze's camp.

Lan Ze noticed Merlin's wariness, so he gave her a friendly smile, "Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you."

The white-haired mage remained vigilant, still watching Lan Ze: "Tell me first, what do you want to ask me?"

"Simply put... I want to tamper with the rules of the Holy Grail and transfer the power of the wish-granting machine to another Holy Grail."

Under Merlin's gaze, Lan Ze roughly explained his purpose.

Upon hearing the last part, Merlin seemed slightly enlightened and muttered to himself, "Do you want to use the Holy Grail you possess to replace the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War?"

Lan Ze nodded slightly.

"But why?" Merlin asked, puzzled. "Is there something wrong with the Holy Grail?"

Lan Ze coughed lightly. "It's not really a situation, it's just—"

"Because you've been in and out of the Greater Grail a few times, you can't bear to part with her and want to keep her by your side, right?" Ereshkigal raised her eyelids and stared at Lan Ze with a deep gaze.

"It's not a matter of whether I'm willing to part with her or not. The main thing is that Irisviel is a human being with her own thoughts, so... we can't just let her disappear like that."

As Lan Ze finished speaking, he suddenly became righteous and exclaimed loudly, "The Holy Grail's fate is also a fate!"

Ereshkigal snorted coldly, "You can explain those things to Aika yourself later."

Lan Ze was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Aika is here too?"

Merlin's body stiffened involuntarily. "The Princess of the Root has arrived...?"

Ereshkigal had only said it casually, but seeing the surprised looks on their faces, a mischievous thought popped into her head. A slight smile played on her lips as she nodded with a straight face, "That's right, she's already in Fuyuki."

This is troublesome...

Lan Ze felt a little heavy-hearted.

Unlike Tiamat and others, Sajyou Manaka always acts impulsively and forcefully. If she knew that Irisviel was the Holy Grail, she might have directly stuffed all the Servant souls into Irisviel, and then, once the wish-granting machine was created and the wish was fulfilled, she would have taken him back directly.

No, the rules of the Holy Grail must be revised before she arrives... Thinking this, Lan Ze looked up at Merlin: "Merlin, do you have a solution to what I just mentioned?"

"Modify the rules of the Holy Grail to help me cheat," Lan Ze said.

For some reason, the white-haired monk also dropped his previous nonchalant attitude, his expression becoming extremely serious. He nodded. "It can be done."

"But I have one condition."

"Go ahead," Lan Ze nodded.

Merlin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I will do everything in my power to help you save the Greater Grail, but the past must be forgotten. Also, if the Princess of the Root really comes, you must stop her."

"And you also need to stop the Creation Mother Goddess."

Merlin glanced at the Goddess of the Underworld again. "And this goddess as well."

Merlin was actually quite aware of his own limitations. He had tricked Lan Ze several times, and these people had clearly taken notice of him. Now, he either had to abandon this Singularity and run away, or he could only hope that Lan Ze would stop them later.

As a candidate for Grand, and also in order to continue observing Humanity's Order in the future, Merlin naturally chose to stay in Fuyuki.

"Is everything alright?" Merlin asked again.

No problem, no problem, but if they go berserk, I can't stop them, and besides, I'm actually thinking of punching you right now... Lan Ze nodded and held out his hand to Merlin: "Okay, leave it to me!"

Merlin also reached out and shook hands with Lan Ze:

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Since we've decided to cooperate, come with me now, Lan Ze."

After the two reached an agreement, Merlin was much more enthusiastic than usual, pulling Lan Ze along as they headed out of the forest.

"Where are we going?" Lan Ze grabbed Merlin and stared at the white-haired mage.

Hmm... This man is handsome, but Merlin is definitely better... For some reason, Lan Ze started to miss that white-haired girl.

"Mount Enzou."

As Merlin finished speaking, Lan Ze snapped out of his thoughts. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why would you go to Mount Enzou for no reason?"

"Are you planning to give him to that Cupid?!" Ereshkigal immediately grabbed Lan Ze, glaring at Merlin. "Don't listen to Merlin, that beast is on Mount Enzou right now!"

Lan Ze's eyes immediately became wary, and he stared at Merlin with hostility.

"What trick are you trying to pull, Merlin?"

Sensing Lan Ze's unfriendly gaze, Merlin quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not it. I'm not planning to give you to the Master this time; I just need your cooperation."

"Cooperate with what?" Lan Ze asked subconsciously.

Merlin gave a mysterious smile, "Actually, Master thinks the same way you do."

"She also wants to tamper with the rules of the Holy Grail, to replace the Holy Grail the Holy Grail War with the one she currently possesses."

"Because that way, when the Holy Grail descends, she can obtain it immediately."

"Kama also has the Holy Grail...?" Lan Ze asked in surprise.

Then, he immediately realized. "The Holy Grail in her hand, is it the Holy Grail from this Singularity?"

Currently, there are three Holy Grail in Fuyuki: the Greater Grail belonging to Irisviel, the Holy Grail in Lan Ze's backpack, and the Holy Grail in the Singularity.

Surprisingly, after being beaten up by Mother of All, Kama not only didn't learn his lesson, but instead started eyeing the wish-granting machine...?

"So what necessary connection does this have with my going to Mount Enzou?" Lan Ze continued to ask.

If he goes to Mount Enzou now, he will surely be captured on the spot by Kama at the summit... Isn't that just sending himself to his death?!

"Listen to me first. Tampering with the rules of the Holy Grail will definitely attract the attention of the Ruler and even other Servant. They will never allow such a thing to happen."

Merlin said leisurely, "At that time, the Master won't be able to deal with the other Servant, but Berserker and I alone can't possibly withstand all the Servant, so we need your help."

"After all..." Merlin glanced at Ereshkigal beside him, "This goddess is on your side, isn't she?"

"What? You're saying I'm on his side? It's not like I completely obey this guy!" Ereshkigal glared at Merlin, her eyes filled with displeasure.

She paused, then continued, "In that case, wouldn't it be better to have Mother go and keep watch as well?"

If Tiamat had held Mount Enzou, let alone Heroic Spirits, even another god probably wouldn't have been able to conquer Mount Enzou.

Merlin shrugged. "Tiamat's destructive power is far too exaggerated, and once she unleashes the Sea of Life on Mount Enzou, Sea of Life capable of assimilating everything will surge into the Holy Grail. What do you think will happen?"

Ereshkigal was stunned.

Although Tiamat's Sea of Life is called "Life," its corrosive power is in no way inferior to that of the Black Mud, and may even surpass Black Mud assimilative power.

Once the Sea of Life unfolds and flows into the Holy Grail, the wish-granting machine ceases to be a wish-granting machine and becomes "All the World's Evil."

No, it should be called "All the World's Evil - Enhanced Edition".

Imagine if the Sea of Life in the Holy Grail fell from mid-air... In that scenario, Fuyuki would likely face far more serious consequences than a simple gas explosion.

"So if possible, let Mother rest in the castle." Merlin gazed at Lan Ze and continued, "Your combat power, combined with the combat power of the Goddess of the Underworld, and with Berserker, the three of you together are enough to withstand any Servant."

"And what about you?" Lan Ze suddenly realized that Merlin seemed to have subconsciously ignored himself the only one.

"I'll be there to cheer you on," Merlin said with a smile.

Noticing the unfriendly looks from Ereshkigal and Lan Ze at the same time, Merlin quickly raised his hands and added, "Just kidding, I'll use illusion magic to help you repel the other Servant up the mountain."

"The only troublesome thing is probably just one thing," Merlin paused, "That the Ruler possesses Command Spells that allow him to command each person twice."

"If the Ruler makes a move, things will get very troublesome..."

"Fortunately, your Magic Resistance is very strong, so you should be able to resist it--"

"Don't you know?" Lan Ze said, "The Holy Church Fathers were attacked on the first night of the Holy Grail War, and the attacker was Ruler."

"In other words, the Command Spells on Ruler might now be capable of commanding each Servant more than just twice..."

Merlin was taken aback. "Why would Ruler attack the Holy Church Fathers?"

"This is cheating, blatant cheating!" he said angrily.

"In fact, our actions are also cheating..." Lan Ze said quietly.

"Anyway, let's go to Mount Enzou first and then think about it slowly... But I have to go back and tell Shiki-nee."

Ryougi Shiki is also an excellent fighting force, but like Aika, she is omniscient and Omniscience and Omnipotence, and is obviously extremely unfriendly to Kama. Therefore, she may not help them defend the foundation of Mount Enzou and modify the Holy Grail rules.

However, we could try to persuade Ryougi Shiki...

Merlin nodded. "Then hurry back."

Lan Ze hummed in agreement, then turned and walked into the castle.

However, after searching the castle, he couldn't find Ryougi Shiki, so he stopped a maid and asked, "Have you seen Miss Shiki?"

The maid bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Miss Shiki has just gone out."

"They went out?"

Lan Ze was slightly taken aback. "Where did she go?"

The maid gently shook her head. "She didn't say, but judging from the way she left, she seemed quite excited."

Even Ryougi Shiki, who was born with Root, has moments of great excitement...?

Lan Ze found it strange. After saying goodbye to the maid, he went to Mother of All's room, knocked on the door, and went inside.

Tiamat was still asleep, and beside Tiamat, Mordred seemed to have just begun to rest as well. She had clearly been so overwhelmed by Tiamat's chest that she looked utterly miserable even in her sleep.

Lan Ze quietly closed the door and turned to walk down the corridor to another room.

Irisviel lay on the soft bed, and as a sliver of light shone in, the woman slowly opened her eyes.

"Caster..." she called softly, then ran up barefoot, asking nervously, "Who's outside?"

"Merlin, and... someone I'm very close to," Lan Ze said with a smile.

"A good relationship... is she a woman?" Irisviel keenly discerned the meaning behind Lan Ze's words.

"Irisviel is so clever..." Lan Ze nodded gently. "I'm going to Mount Enzou next."

Before Irisviel could speak, Lan Ze continued, "Kama is on Mount Enzou."

Irisviel's eyes widened slowly. "Then what are you going to Mount Enzou for?"

Lan Ze briefly explained what had just happened, then reassured her, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. We just need to wait until the Holy Grail is fully modified."

In fact, Lan Ze had given it considerable thought before agreeing to Merlin's suggestion.

As long as Mother of All is still in Fuyuki, Kama will never dare to force himself to sign a contract with her. Once the rules of the Holy Grail are rewritten, he can leave.

He wasn't afraid of not being able to come back... After all, apart from a Mad Enhancement Lancelot, everyone else around Kama was a traitor.
