Hairspray Hand Mo Yi: Humanity Needs a Savior of Its Own! (Continued)
Joan of Arc wanted to say something more, but Lancelot, still obsessed with Saber, jumped out of the water again, grabbed a nearby crane used for moving cargo boxes, and charged towards Joan of Arc.
As for Mo Yi, who actually knocked him away, who was he?
Lancelot only has eyes for his beloved King, but unfortunately, his eyesight is just as bad as the Marshal's. One mistakes Saber for Joan of Arc Saber, and the other mistakes Joan of Arc for Saber!
"I entrust my back to you—"
This time, Mo Yi figured out Joan of Arc's personality and asked her for a favor first.
"Be especially careful of Assassin and Saber. That Saber once backstabbed her Master to death."
Old Saber: "..."
Feeling the strange gazes from Joan of Joan of Arc, the King of Conquerors, and even Alice Phil beside him, Old Saber was truly caught in the crossfire, feeling bitter but unable to express his grievances.
The path of justice is always lonely! Not everyone understands the essence of the Sun Knight.
Therefore, Old Saber chose to remain silent at this time to face the misunderstandings of others!
If the world slanders me, deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, belittles me, despises me, hates me, or cheats me, how should I deal with it?
Just tolerate him, let him be, let him do as he pleases, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, and when he is off guard, stab him in the back and see what he does.
"Rest assured--"
Upon hearing Mo Yi's words, he immediately gripped the battle flag tightly, focusing his attention on the Old Saber to prevent the opponent from launching a sneak attack while Mo Yi and Berserker were fighting.
"Leave your back to me!"
Mo Paopao: "..."
As long as you're happy.
"Arthur—"
This time, Mo Yi didn't choose any fancy skills, since he was still burdened by the setting of 'not being able to go all out'. So he used the conventional combat method of a mage, secretly buffing himself with various buffs, then shouted 'Hurrah' and rushed over to engage in close combat with Lancelot.
"Million Ton Punch!!"
Then, with a single punch, he sent Lancelot and the crane flying together, followed by a display of the combat techniques he had learned from the heroes.
"Earth Throw—— "
The battle scene was incredibly intense and exciting, leaving the onlookers sweating bullets. Was this really a Caster, or two Berserkers fighting?!
Everyone was captivated by this fight, which was all about raw, unadulterated combat, until Madam Irisviel took the initiative to bring up the topic, saying to Joan of Arc, who had been staring intently at them, "You must be Joan of Arc of Arc, the savior of France, right?"
Hearing Madam Irisviel address her like that, Joan of Arc of Arc, who came from a humble background, felt quite embarrassed. However, considering that they were currently in battle and were enemies, she maintained a serious expression and said calmly, "I am unworthy of the title of saint, but I am indeed Joan of Arc of France, who descended in this Holy Grail War as a Ruler."
"Why would a noble spirit like you obey Caster?"
Alice Phil continued:
"Of course, I'm not blaming Mr. Caster, but the Servants summoned by the Holy Grail should all be Heroic Spirits with their own desires. Could the Greater Holy Grail really have been corrupted?"
From the book Mo Yi gave her, Alice Phil knew about the corruption of the Greater Holy Grail, but she didn't have time to verify it. Joan of Arc d'Arc, on the other hand, was clearly a trustworthy and positive Servant, after all, she was a hero with the name of a saint.
Everyone present was instantly drawn to Alice Phil's words, including Director K, Tohsaka Tokiomi, and others who had left the stage but were still keeping an eye on the battlefield with their familiars.
Of course, Director K never trusted the so-called omnipotent Holy Grail that could grant all wishes. He only participated in the Holy Grail War like top students participate in a competition to enhance his reputation and prestige.
Diarmuid's wish was simpler: he simply wanted to serve his chosen monarch faithfully once more.
The person who reacted the most was Tohsaka Tokiomi. These words came from the mouth of the Einstein family, who were responsible for building the Greater Holy Grail. He couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to. He was completely stunned, then felt like he had a heart attack. He wanted to rush up and grab Alice Phil to get an explanation!
My Tohsaka Family has persisted for so many years, generation after generation, all to win the Holy Grail War and reach the Root. And now you're telling me we've been corrupted?
Even though it's said to be contaminated, just hearing that makes it sound like something bad!
Tohsaka Tokiomi could only console himself that it was only a possibility, and even if it was contaminated, it didn't mean it was unusable. He could still eat the pastries that had fallen on the ground after wiping them up!
That's right, that's exactly it!
Tohsaka Tokiomi could only console himself with this thought, though at that moment he had one hand pressed against his rapidly beating heart, fearing he might pass out if things went wrong. He could only keep telling himself, "It's all just a lie!"
This is a classic example of someone who won't give up until they reach the Yellow River or hit a brick wall.
Gilgamesh, who was watching the show from the sidelines, had lost much of his interest after learning that the so-called Holy Grail was actually a magical ritual created by a magician. However, upon hearing the word 'contamination,' he immediately revealed an amused and mischievous smile.
He felt incredibly pleased just watching a magician like Tohsaka Tokiomi desperately pursue something, sacrificing generations to obtain it, only to find himself unable to use it.
Finally, there's Kiritsugu's Dad, who also learned of this from Alice Phil not long ago, but he was extremely unwilling to believe it, thinking it was Caster's scheme. Of course, if the so-called Holy Grail is truly the All the World's Evil as described in the books, as Justice Partner, he certainly couldn't allow it to leak out and cause countless deaths, as in the original story!
Kiritsugu's Dad, who placed all his hopes for saving the world on the Holy Grail, could only use such words to stabilize his potentially collapsing belief.
In response to Alice Phil's question, Joan of Arc, with a clear conscience, replied, "The Caster's goal is to destroy the corrupted Holy Grail. With my 'Revelation' ability, I can confirm that the other party is not mistaken; the Holy Grail has indeed been corrupted!"
"That's why I assisted Caster in participating in the Holy Grail War."
Everyone: "..."
So this is your excuse for stepping in and hitting people, Joan of Arc?!
"That--"
At this point, Iskandar finally couldn't help but interject and ask:
"What exactly is this contamination? And is it still possible to fulfill my wish?!"
Let me explain this matter—
With Alice Phil's explanation, we finally learned about the process by which the Holy Grail was corrupted, and the truth that it can use the greatest malice to fulfill wishes. The simplest example is achieving peace by killing all of humanity.
"I don't believe it!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi, who prided himself on being elegant, finally went mad, driven insane by the reality. After all, the efforts of generations had vanished in an instant, like being swindled out of the money earned from a lifetime of work. It was already a miracle he didn't die of anger on the spot.
"It can't be real, it must be fake!"
"How can you know if it's true or false if you haven't seen it with your own eyes?!"
Behind Tohsaka Tokiomi, a Golden Gilgamesh smiled gleefully, absorbing energy of pleasure, and muttered to himself, "The All the World's Evil, huh?"
"Perfect for filtering out this modern world full of fakes and charlatans, a world that's disgusting and boring..."
Kinneth had returned to the hotel to heal his injuries, was already quite interested after learning that the Holy Grail was actually a vessel for the Third Magic. As for whether it was contaminated and could potentially lead to the deaths of many innocent people, he didn't care. After all, it was just a vessel; its purpose was to reach the Third Magic, which was the conventional thinking of a magician.
Kiritsugu's Dad tossed aside his cigarette, almost convinced that the Holy Grail had been corrupted. Like Tokiomi, he was determined to see it through to the end. Besides, if it was truly such a dangerous thing, it was even more crucial not to let anyone else obtain it, especially not a ruthless magus. Allowing them to get the Black Grail would cause far greater harm than obtaining the normal one!
