Ch: 519-527
Chapter 519 Let me ask you, are you my Master?
Rejedo's power in the Dragon Race World was naturally invincible on earth and in the heavens.
But Eriyi didn't nod.
Instead, she stepped forward anxiously: "Rejedo, will you come back after you leave?"
"I won't come back, but it's not really leaving..."
Leon rarely saw Eriyi show anxious emotions.
In fact, this girl rarely showed emotion, and only when she was with a few people did her eyes light up.
Leon suddenly understood.
It turned out that Eriyi bought more than a hundred trials not to become stronger, but to find him.
Points equivalent to a White King and one-tenth of a Black King were just wasted.
But for Eriyi, it seemed worth it.
She didn't feel the pain of spending a lot of money; she just looked at Leon nervously, worried that her Rejedo would not come back after he left.
The experience in the illusion seemed very unreal.
But for Eriyi, it was the most wonderful few months of her life.
Leon still remembered Eriyi traveling to various scenic spots in the illusion under his command.
Every time she arrived at a place, Eriyi would buy postcards and make careful records.
After eating Five-Eyed Fried Rice once, she started eating it crazily; civilian food was a surprising experience for her, and she finally gave up after eating it for a month.
During that time, she sometimes transformed while eating Five-Eyed Fried Rice.
Even when fighting monsters, she still protected the small bowl in her palm, and continued to eat after the battle ended.
Leon felt that the life of those few months had allowed Eriyi to grow enough to be independent and no longer need his command.
But now that he thought about it, perhaps he, who accompanied Eriyi through that novel time, also became a very important part of Eriyi.
"So that's it, you want to leave with me?"
Leon saw Eriyi's true thoughts.
Eriyi nodded gently without hesitation.
"Why?" Leon asked.
"Because I don't want to not see Rejedo."
"What about your brother?"
"Brother is going to France to sell sunscreen."
"Uh, the Tortoise is really going to sell sunscreen this time... The Sheqi Hachi Family doesn't care?"
"What is the Sheqi Hachi Family?"
"You really don't know much about your own World, don't you plan to look at this World again? You said you would protect it."
"But this World is no longer in danger," Eriyi said.
After thinking about it, she added: "Because Rejedo is leaving, there will definitely be no danger."
At this time, Eriyi was unexpectedly smart.
"Although that's right, even if you say so..." Leon pondered.
Eriyi looked at him and said again: "Rejedo said that my World doesn't have Naruto, nor does it have Seiya and Athena, can you take me to see them?"
The girl's eyes sparkled; she was really looking forward to it.
Leon couldn't help but think of the reason why Eriyi always wanted to run away from home before...
In the past, Eriyi thought the outside World was like anime, so she wanted to skip school and verify it.
Now she knew that her worldview was wrong, and she had corrected it.
But she still wanted to see more of the World.
Leon felt that he had no special reason to refuse.
Taking Eriyi with him would probably be as convenient as taking a docile, well-behaved kitten.
Eriyi seemed to notice Leon's wavering and added: "I will be obedient."
Leon thought for a moment: "Alright then!"
He reached out and gently stroked Eriyi's head; the soft and smooth feel was really like a kitten, making one not want to let go.
"You've bought so many trials, just consider this as taking you to other Worlds for trials."
Eriyi nodded happily, letting Leon stroke her head.
When Leon retracted his hand, she tiptoed and ran around on the tatami mat.
She lightly ran a circle around the kotatsu table, picking up the doll toys along the way.
Then she opened the fireplace, took out a suitcase, and neatly placed the toys one by one inside.
Finally, she closed the suitcase, carried it to Leon, and said, "Let's go."
It was clear that Eriyi had been planning this for a long time.
She didn't have many clothes to bring; her most cherished possessions were a pile of dolls, which she put into the suitcase, ready to run away from home and wander the World at any time.
"Don't you need to tell your brother?" Leon asked.
Eriyi shook her head, pointing to the TV: "Kaguya-hime will tell him."
"Alright then, let's go now," Leon chuckled wryly.
He held Eriyi's wrist and activated his Crossing (crossing) ability.
"Where are we going?" Eriyi asked.
"Partners of Justice have no destination; we go wherever we end up."
The two disappeared into the Genji Heavy Industries building.
Shuichi Gen, who received the news from Kaguya-hime, beat his chest and stomped his feet, indignant that his sister had been abducted by the Ghost Fire Youth.
Shuichi Gen's sister comforted him nearby, suppressing a smile, saying that it was quite good for the two of them to go sell sunscreen together.
...
Where would Rejedo take her?
Eriyi speculated with great anticipation before she fell unconscious.
When she woke up and opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a familiar figure.
It was a heroic king, with long golden hair coiled behind her head, and her emerald eyes were majestic and righteous.
Even though she wore heavy breastplate and a thick blue battle skirt, she showed no sign of effort.
"I ask of you, are you my Master?"
The golden-haired female warrior held a long sword and asked Eriyi, her kingly demeanor radiating outwards.
Eriyi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, like a girl shopping on the street seeing cats and dogs, but without an undignified gasp.
She carefully examined the female warrior in front of her, even quietly shifting her steps, looking left and then right.
"Uh... Master?" The golden-haired female warrior seemed a little unaccustomed.
She looked at Eriyi and asked again: "Aren't you my Master?"
Eriyi was stumped.
She didn't know.
After falling unconscious, she woke up to see the King of Knights from the "Fate" anime—Altria.
Eriyi was just happy, very happy because she suddenly saw her favorite character.
She looked around, poking her head out.
This was a large cathedral.
Altria stood on the platform, with a Heroic Spirit summoning circle at her feet.
And next to her were the silver-haired anime character Irisviel, and the gloomy-faced Emiya Kiritsugu.
As for Rejedo... Rejedo stood behind her.
"Rejedo?" Eriyi looked back at Leon, asking him about the situation.
"Call me Leon from now on. It's a long story, but in short..."
Leon looked at Altria: "Eriyi is not your Master yet, but she will be soon."
As his words fell, the Command Seals on Emiya Kiritsugu's hand gradually disappeared and transferred to Eriyi's hand.
Eriyi raised the back of her hand, looking left and right as if fantasy had become reality.
Finally, she held up her left hand and earnestly told Altria: "I am your Master, Saber."
Chapter 520 Holy Grail War
"Ex-calibur!"
"Wow! So cool, Big Sister is so amazing!"
Under the frost-laden bare trees.
Eriyi's Miko outfit trailed in the snow as she gripped the Sword of Promised Victory tightly with both hands and swung it forward.
Sharp sword light and shadows cut through the snowflakes.
Eriyi was like a swordsman dancing in the snow.
Beside her was Iliya, only up to her waist, Emiya Kiritsugu's daughter, who was jumping and clapping.
And a dozen meters away, Altria looked helpless: "Master…"
King Arthur had no way of dealing with her Master.
As soon as she was summoned, her Master looked at her from left to right as if observing a historical artifact, almost pulling out a magnifying glass for a detailed study.
From the patterns on her armor to the stitching of her battle skirt.
This red-haired little girl's eyes were wide with curiosity about everything.
Originally, this was nothing.
Altria could feel the purity of her Master—a pure heart, and pure curiosity about the World.
Such a Master could be said to perfectly match her style.
However, her Master's curiosity was too strong; she even asked to borrow the Sword of Promised Victory for a look.
Altria had to refuse on the grounds that 'a warrior's sword never leaves her side.'
At that moment, she even thought she might offend her Master.
But she didn't expect that as soon as the red-haired girl regretfully withdrew her gaze.
The young man beside the girl casually glanced at the Sword of Promised Victory a few times, then conjured a new one out of thin air.
Altria could perceive that in that instant, the magic of the entire ley line was invoked.
That was Alchemy or magic that she could not comprehend.
The Sword of Promised Victory forged was identical to the one in her hand.
Altria was stunned.
Her shock, from the moment Eriyi joyfully took the Holy Sword, ran into the snow, and shouted "Excalibur," continued until now.
"Incredible Magician, how should I address you?"
Altria looked back at Mr. Lyon, still finding it unbelievable.
The moment she was summoned into the present World, she learned most of the common knowledge of this era.
In this era, there were no Magicians, only Sorcerers.
But the method this man used to forge a Noble Phantasm out of thin air was definitely not something a Sorcerer could do.
"You can call me Mr. Lyon," Mr. Lyon nodded and said.
"Forgive my impertinence, Mr. Lyon, with your level of magic, are you also participating in the Holy Grail War?"
Altria's navy-blue eyes glanced at Eriyi.
"I can see that the child doesn't have a particularly strong wish; you should be the true leader."
She paused slightly, then continued: "Even someone like you has a wish that needs to be granted by the Holy Grail?"
"No," Mr. Lyon's gaze shifted to Altria.
At this moment, Altria suddenly felt as if she was seen through from head to toe, even into her very core.
It was as if even the embarrassing incident of her ahoge being cut off while practicing swordsmanship as a child had been seen through.
She unnaturally averted her gaze, half-turning her body to block Mr. Lyon's eyes.
"Is that… so," Altria fell silent.
This person, she felt, was too mysterious; she couldn't quite handle him.
She stopped asking questions.
But Mr. Lyon slowly began to speak: "Eriyi and I are just passing travelers; we should also thank Weimiya Qieshi and his wife for their help."
He turned to look at Emiya Kiritsugu.
Very familiarly: "Weimiya Qieshi and I made a deal: I help him achieve his wish, and he gives me his spot in the Holy Grail War."
"Is… that so? Then what is Weimiya Qieshi's wish?" Altria was startled.
Emiya Kiritsugu had always stood to the side, his face always grim.
His black trench coat fluttered in the snow, his demeanor cold and hard, biting an unlit cigarette whose tip was already frayed.
He said sullenly: "My wish… is for the World to be peaceful, with no more wars or misfortunes."
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't want to say it, but he knew that if he didn't, Mr. Lyon would say it for him.
A few hours ago, that bastard inexplicably appeared in the castle with a Witch.
Upon meeting, he called him Yagami Taichi without any sense of boundaries.
Anger and killing intent rose in his heart.
He immediately prepared to kill the intruder.
Then everything went Black, and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was lying in bed, with his worried wife and daughter in front of him, and that intruding bastard was healing him.
Emiya Kiritsugu's killing intent resurfaced, and then his head drooped, and he lost consciousness again.
When he woke up the second time, he understood that a terrifying fellow had come to the castle.
This fellow even offered to participate in the Holy Grail War on his behalf.
Emiya Kiritsugu was immediately enraged.
The result was naturally another severe injury.
Now he had no temper left.
It turned out that the uninvited guest was… a terrifying existence that would cause him injury whenever he felt anger towards him.
Emiya Kiritsugu found no way out.
He gave up.
Let it be whatever it wanted to be.
He had already planned to kill other participating Sorcerers and seize their Command Seals.
However, only now, hearing the conversation between the uninvited guest and King Arthur.
Did he realize that the other party seemed genuinely prepared to help him achieve his wish.
Emiya Kiritsugu hesitated slightly, then asked Mr. Lyon: "Are you truly planning to grant me this wish?"
"Didn't we agree on this from the beginning?" Mr. Lyon retorted.
He said with a half-smile: "But Weimiya Qieshi, and Saber, I'm afraid your current expectations for the Holy Grail will ultimately lead to great disappointment."
Altria frowned: "Disappointment? The Holy Grail can grant the victor's wish; this was the information given to me when the ritual summoned me. How could there be disappointment?"
Emiya Kiritsugu also frowned, various conjectures swirling in his mind.
Seeing the atmosphere become a bit strange, Irisviel shook her silver hair and quickly said:
"Um… how about we prepare dinner first? After dinner, we can discuss information about other Masters?"
"Eat?"
Altria was stunned, her furrowed brows instantly smoothed, and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Irisviel.
Her heart pounded, of course, for dinner.
However, Mr. Lyon interrupted her anticipation: "No need, Madam, dinner can be postponed a bit."
"Wh-why postpone it?" Altria looked at Mr. Lyon, feeling that this person was utterly heinous.
"Aren't you going to make a wish? I'm not prepared to participate in the Holy Grail War, but Eriyiis quite interested, so let her try it herself."
Mr. Lyon said, "As for your wish, it can be fulfilled today."
"Today?" Irisviel was a little confused.
Mr. Lyon said softly: "Today, let's go to Fuyuki City together."
He waved to Eriyi: "It's time to go, Eriyi."
Eriyi, who was vigorously swinging her sword, trying to use Excalibur, nodded, sheathed her sword, and trotted back with Iliya.
Mr. Lyon patted Eriyi's head, casually opened a Mystic Art of Portals, and walked in.
Chapter 521: Make a Wish in Advance
Opposite the portal was a Japanese temple shrouded in night.
When Emiya Kiritsugu and the others emerged from the portal, filled with uncontrollable shock, they saw the torii gate directly facing the temple's main hall.
Looking through the torii, they saw a mountain, and at its base, the brightly lit Fuyuki City.
They were in the open space between the main hall and the torii, with stars twinkling overhead and moonlight like water on the stone bricks beneath their feet.
"This… is this perhaps the Second magic, one of the Five Great magics mentioned in legends?" Irisviel covered her mouth, her pupils trembling.
"Of course not, that's just a portal," Mr. Lyon said, looking around before turning to remind Eriyi.
"We've arrived in Fuyuki, the place where the Holy Grail War begins."
"Fuyuki!" Eriyi's eyes lit up. She scurried to the base of the torii, pulled out her camera, and began photographing the city's night view from below the mountain gate.
Bouncing along behind her was Iliya.
The two girls, one big and one small, were full of excitement.
The others, however, looked at Mr. Lyon with confusion.
"Coming to Fuyuki at this time... do you intend to kill all the Masters in Fuyuki tonight, ahead of schedule?" Emiya Kiritsugu, judging others by himself, thought this indeed seemed like a way to end the war early.
With Mr. Lyon's strength, he could easily seize other Masters' Heroic Spirits.
"Are we to engage with others ahead of time? It seems like a good idea, but it might also expose our information too early, Mr. Lyon," Altria reminded him.
"Engage with others? You've misunderstood."
Mr. Lyon shook his head and suddenly walked towards Irisviel.
"To obtain the Holy Grail that can grant wishes, for me, I only need to be in Fuyuki, and for Mrs. Emiya to be present."
The other two were bewildered, but Irisviel's face turned slightly pale.
Before she could explain or dissuade him, Mr. Lyon reached out and touched her, and suddenly, a large number of light particles floated out from Irisviel's body.
Those light particles quickly gathered in the air, reassembling into a golden Holy Grail.
"The Holy Grail?" Weimiya Qieshi's pupils contracted slightly. "How is this thing on Irisviel!?
"Saying it's 'on her' isn't quite right. It's more accurate to say she *is* the Lesser Holy Grail, an important part of the Holy Grail War."
Mr. Lyon spread his palm, and the Lesser Holy Grail slowly floated down.
Irisviel was an artificial human created by the Einzbern family, with an extremely short lifespan.
She existed as the vessel for the Lesser Holy Grail from birth.
As Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War died one after another, she would gradually approach the end of her life, until she completely transformed into the Holy Grail.
This was Irisviel's mission.
The Einzbern family intended to achieve the Third magic through the Holy Grail War, and for this purpose, they created her.
However, Weimiya Qieshi had always been kept in the dark.
Now that the hidden truth was exposed by Mr. Lyon, Irisviel could only slowly reveal the truth.
Not to mention the wonderful changes in Weimiya Qieshi's expression, Altria, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief for Irisviel.
"Now that Mr. Lyon has taken out the Holy Grail, Madam, you should no longer have to sacrifice yourself for it. This is worth celebrating."
Irisviel smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This is our mission; there's no escaping it. Without me, Iliya would have to go through all of this."
Altria was instantly speechless, and a stone suddenly seemed to lodge in her heart.
She sympathized greatly with Irisviel.
But the Holy Grail she pursued could only exist in this form.
She struggled, but she was unwilling to give up.
"If you can't accept it, then seize this opportunity to fulfill the mission."
"The Einzbern family only has a group of artificial humans left. Your mission is to reproduce the Third magic, and now the opportunity has come."
Mr. Lyon suddenly spoke at this moment.
The three looked over; the Holy Grail in his hand was slowly glowing.
"The Holy Grail, it's been activated? How is this possible!?" Altria exclaimed.
"Nothing is impossible. The so-called Holy Grail system is actually a Greater Holy Grail magiccircle beneath this temple, absorbing magic power from the ley lines."
"When enough magic power is accumulated, Heroic Spirit Servants can be summoned."
"Seven Servants appear consecutively, and then die in battle, their souls returning into the Lesser Holy Grail."
"Afterward, the Lesser Holy Grail, in order to send them back to the Throne of Heroes, will open a small hole leading to the Root."
"The magic power in the Greater Holy Grail will then temporarily fix this small hole during this process."
"Whether you want to realize a wish or reach the Root to achieve the Third magic, it can all be accomplished at this time."
Mr. Lyon suddenly reached out and grabbed Altria's arm.
"Let me observe your current form of existence."
Mr. Lyon activated his super vision, observing Altria meticulously, and then released a surge of divine power that circulated through her body.
After a few breaths, he released his hand.
Then, one after another, small Altrias suddenly appeared above the Lesser Holy Grail.
They jumped into the Holy Grail consecutively.
"Cre-creating Heroic Spirits?" Altria was utterly stunned.
Mr. Lyon smiled and tossed the Lesser Holy Grail onto the ground: "They will merge with your main body through the Throne of Heroes. Consider it a bonus for you."
After the sixth little Altria jumped into the Holy Grail, the Lesser Holy Grail began to vibrate slightly.
The clear starry sky above the temple suddenly became overcast.
A pitch-black void began to appear faintly.
When the last Altria also jumped in, something suddenly began to gush out from the bottom of the Lesser Holy Grail.
The void in the sky also completely solidified.
That was the hole connecting reality to the Root.
In the temple, everyone stared blankly at this scene.
And the other Masters in Fuyuki City were even more stunned at this moment.
They couldn't understand how the Holy Grail War hadn't even started yet, but the victory settlement screen had already appeared.
Whether they had already summoned Servants or had not yet summoned Servants, all the Masters were now rushing towards the temple beneath the void.
"Alright, now you can make a wish," Mr. Lyon suddenly said with an ill-intentioned smile.
"Weimiya Qieshi, whether you want World Peace, or King Arthur, you want to save your kingdom, you can make your wish now."
"This..." The two looked at Mr. Lyon with complex expressions.
"You really want us to make a wish? You... you don't have a wish... Oh, right, with your power, what wish could you possibly have?"
Altria hesitated, then her expression became solemn. She stepped forward, ready to make her wish.
Weimiya Qieshi also had a similar expression and action.
"By the way, I should remind you, although the Holy Grail can grant wishes now, the way they are granted may not be as you desire," Mr. Lyon added.
Altria paused: "What do you mean?"
"The Holy Grail is currently contaminated. It carries the Evil of Humanity, and all wishes will be granted in the form of the Evil of Humanity," Mr. Lyon said.
"This... this can't be true, can it?" Altria found it hard to believe.
Weimiya Qieshi also could not accept it.
"Then go try it," Mr. Lyon said, pointing to the Holy Grail.
After a slight hesitation, the two still walked towards the Holy Grail.
Their desires were too strong.
One was willing to go to any lengths, sacrificing everything for World Peace.
The other's sole goal was to save his already ruined kingdom.
When the two reached the Holy Grail, they stopped in unison, their minds drawn into the Holy Grail.
Chapter 522 Purifying the Black Mud
It was at this moment that the golden Holy Grail suddenly dimmed.
It lost its sanctity in an instant, and a completely opposite evil aura wafted out.
At the bottom of the Holy Grail, viscous black and red mud slowly emerged.
Those muds seemed to be sinful blood filled with malice.
When they overflowed the Holy Grail and flowed down along the cup, the entire Ryudoji Temple was enveloped by an overwhelming malice.
"Rejedo…" Eriyi quietly grabbed Leon's wrist.
She took out the courage stick, looked at Leon, and suggested with her eyes that she should make a move.
She had read the story of "Fate" many times.
She knew that the black mud in the Small Holy Grail came from the Great Holy Grail, which was 'All the Evils of This World'.
When the two Holy Grails connect.
The Evils of This World inside the Great Holy Grail found an outlet and began to pour into reality.
The Evils of This World are endless, and those black muds are also endless, eventually engulfing the entire World.
And at this time, of course, it was time for Full Moon Wave to make its appearance!
That's right, I, Eriyi, am a Full Moon Wave maniac!
And even if Full Moon Wave didn't work, she still had Moon God Purification to use.
"I told you to call me Leon, if you want to make a move, go ahead." Leon patted Eriyi's head.
Eriyi nodded and turned to walk towards the torii gate of the temple.
Iliya, who was worried about Weimiya Qieshi, noticed her: "That… Big sister, what are you going to do?"
"Iliya." Eriyi paused slightly, her indifferent expression holding a solemnity that Iliya could not understand.
She whispered, "Have you ever seen Light?"
"Huh, Light?" Iliya shook her head childishly.
Eriyi did not answer, raising the courage stick high.
In the pitch-black night obscured by dark clouds, brilliant Light bloomed, and a blue-silver giant stood out.
Iliya's small mouth widened: "Big sister, she turned, she turned into a giant!"
As soon as her voice fell, the nearly fifty-meter-tall giant waved to Iliya.
Leon helped her translate: "Eriyi is saying, it's not a giant, it's Light."
"Light?" Iliya seemed to understand but not quite.
The next moment, Eriyi raised her hand to draw a circle, releasing Full Moon Wave towards the hole in the sky, the light tearing through the darkness of the entire Fuyuki.
Now Iliya understood, so this was Light, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Something that might be a bit childish for My Lord was just right for Iliya at this age, passionate and not brain-damaging.
Eriyi's Full Moon Wave was very imposing.
The dazzling light streaked across the sky of half the city like a torch, illuminating the entire night.
The brightness was comparable to a flare of five to six hundred thousand lumens.
When the church, responsible for concealing mystical information, starts fabricating false reasons tomorrow, they will probably have such a headache that they lose half their hair.
It's just a pity that while Full Moon Wave is bright, it has no special attack effect on 'All the Evils of This World'.
The light shot into the huge hole in the sky, only making the hole begin to totter.
Eriyi quickly stopped.
She raised her hand to draw a circle again, this time unleashing the Moon God Purification beam.
The colorful light cut into the hole, and after a breath, countless tiny light spots exploded in the hole.
Those light spots were all the Evils of This World separated from the Great Holy Grail.
Eriyi's light beam worked.
The sky, which had become murky due to the appearance of the hole, gradually cleared up again.
All the Evils of This World carried by the Great Holy Grail.
Apparently, it could not resist the Moon God beam.
Vaguely, an unwilling roar seemed to come from the hole.
As Eriyi continued to release the light, the roar grew weaker and weaker.
At one point, Iliya broke free from Irisviel's embrace and shouted to Eriyi, "Go, big sister!"
And at this moment.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Altria opened their eyes at the same time.
Their spirits were kicked out by the Holy Grail.
After a brief daze, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was full of dejection, and his already gloomy eyes became dark and lifeless like black holes.
Altria, on the other hand, was full of collapse, and her Oath Sword, invisible due to the Wind King's Barrier, clanged to the ground.
Clearly, both of them had received the worst answers in the Holy Grail.
Irisviel and her daughter ran to Emiya Kiritsugu's side to support him.
Altria, uncared for, knelt on the ground, exhausted.
"Even the Holy Grail… cannot save Britain…" Her voice was hoarse and trembling.
Leon couldn't help but ask, "What did you see in the Holy Grail?"
"To ensure the survival of Britain… the Holy Grail killed all humans except Britain, and to avoid civil strife… the Holy Grail killed all people in Britain, leaving only me and Guinevere."
Altria's face was hidden in the Shadow of her hair.
"That truly is a solution that a black mud Holy Grail would give, but what is there to be sad about? I already told you it's a contaminated Holy Grail."
Leon said, "Once the Holy Grail is completely purified by Eriyi, you can make wishes normally."
"Purification?" Altria and Emiya Kiritsugu simultaneously looked up, hope rekindled.
"Eriyi… My Lord, where is she?"
Altria frantically looked up, searching for Eriyi's figure.
"Over there." Leon pointed to the giant standing at the temple gate, treading the mountain path, continuously releasing light towards the hole.
"Ah… this… My Lord, she?" Altria fell into a daze.
"Just wait a little longer." Leon said with a smile.
But then he changed the subject.
"However, even a complete Holy Grail may not necessarily fulfill your wishes."
"The so-called fulfillment of wishes is merely using the vast amount of magical energy stored in the Holy Grail to stabilize the hole it connects to the Root, and then, according to the method you know, achieve the wish you seek."
"Saber, you want to save Britain and replace yourself with a more suitable King."
"This wish is more practical; the Holy Grail can help you travel through time or parallel Worlds."
"But Weimiya Qieshi, you want to achieve World peace. To be honest, even you yourself are not clear what counts as peace. Such a wish, given to the Holy Grail, is impossible to achieve."
"The true function of the Holy Grail is to reach the Root."
Leon said indifferently: "The Root is the Akashic Record of the Universe, recording the beginning and end of all things, and it is the highest pursuit of mages."
Altria stared blankly at Leon: "So you don't have no wish; you want to use the Holy Grail to reach the Root?"
"Actually, it can be done without the Holy Grail." Leon smiled, "But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's better to follow the local customs."
During their conversation, Eriyi's purification of the Great Holy Grail also ended.
The sky returned to a clear, starry night with a bright moon.
The deep hole still hung high above Fuyuki City.
But there was no longer any evil aura; instead, it was filled with profundity.
"Chah!"
Eriyi slowly withdrew her hand, put her hands on her hips like all Ultraman, and prepared to transform back into her human form.
However, at this moment, the My Lord and Heroic Spirits who had rushed from various areas of Fuyuki City finally arrived.
"Mongrels! Who permitted you to secretly steal King's treasures? The sin of theft shall be repaid with your Death!"
Gilgamesh stood at the front of the golden shining Noble Phantasm, his arrogant and domineering voice arriving before he did.
Closely followed by another bold voice.
"Oh la la la! Someone actually summoned the Holy Grail already?" The King of Conquerors arrived with his My Lord, driving his Noble Phantasm.
Besides these two parties.
In the darkness, Hundred-Faced Hassan, concealed in the woods, was also approaching.
Outside the temple gate, Lancelot had just arrived, and even the old bug Matou Zouken was hidden in the Shadow.
The Holy Grail War, originally scheduled to begin more than half a year later, seemed to be starting early at this moment.
Chapter 523 Arriving at the Root
This was originally supposed to be the beginning of a fierce battle.
Even Altria, who was temporarily low on magic because her Master Eriyi had no magic, had already drawn her sword and prepared for battle.
But King of Heroes Gilgamesh's opening line, "Mongrel."
Made Leon silently change his killing intent reflection ability back to its initial version for the time being.
Then he stepped forward: "Mongrel? If you ask me, all of you uninvited guests present are trash."
"Ha? What blasphemous words! You mere commoner, how dare you…"
Thud.
The King of Heroes' eyebrows shot up, instantly enraged, and then he instantly collapsed to the ground, beginning to dissipate into light particles.
"Oh la la la, to be looked down upon like this, I am still the first…"
Thud.
Following the King of Heroes, the King of Conquerors' anger faintly rose, and just as he was about to display a king's demeanor, his head tilted, and he fell from his mount.
Afterward, his mount, with its screaming Master, also plunged directly onto the hillside.
It wasn't just the two Kings.
Lancelot, who had just run to the temple gate, also couldn't escape this wave of "judgment."
Even Hundred-Faced Hassan, hidden in the shadows, instantly collapsed because one of his multiple personalities generated anger.
For a time, light particles, dissipating after Heroic Spirits' Death, floated in the sky, on the ground, and even in the forest.
"This…"
Altria, holding her long sword, looked around, her blade unsure where to point for a moment.
Thud.
At this moment, another thud came from the forest.
Matou Zouken, who was secretly observing, was also killed by "killing intent reflection."
His main body worms, hidden elsewhere, also lost their vitality at this moment.
Emiya Kiritsugu had excellent eyesight and saw this old man from the dense bushes at a glance; he had seen that appearance in the Matou family's records.
Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but secretly wipe away a cold sweat.
A single sentence ended a war.
He once again realized what an unsolvable existence this young man who had broken into the Einzbern Castle was.
The blue and silver giant now reverted to Eriyi.
Eriyi trotted to the Noble Phantasm where Gilgamesh had crashed and touched it.
"Is the King of Heroes dead?" Eriyi turned to ask Leon.
"He's dead, he got too emotional and died of a cerebral hemorrhage," Leon said.
From a certain perspective, his killing intent reflection indeed looked very much like the person involved having too great emotional fluctuations, leading to Death by cerebral hemorrhage.
At this explanation, the few people around all broke out in cold sweat and gave awkward smiles.
Eriyi, however, nodded in agreement: "Is the King of Conquerors also dead?"
"Yes, he is."
"Then is Waver Velvet also dead?"
"He's still crying in the forest."
"Then the Holy Grail War, we won, right?" Eriyi looked at the Holy Grail again, blinking her eyes.
Her tone was unhurried.
It was like asking a friend about the plot progress after going to the restroom in the middle of watching a movie.
Leon couldn't help but smile: "Do you also want to make a wish?"
"Can I?" Eriyi's eyes lit up.
Leon didn't say anything like it's better to make a wish to him than to the Holy Grail.
He pointed to the Holy Grail and said: "The Holy Grail has plenty of magic, and after Saber's wish is granted, you can still make a few more wishes, you can try it."
Next was the wishing segment.
Emiya Kiritsugu was unwilling and tried to wish upon the Holy Grail again.
But even the pure Holy Grail could not respond to his grand and empty wish.
He looked disappointed.
Finally, at Eriyi's reminder, he remembered to wish to turn his wife and daughter back into normal humans, solving the problem of their short lifespan.
The second to wish was Altria.
King Arthur walked towards the Holy Grail with a nervous expression, holding her sword.
She worried that she, too, would be unable to achieve her wish, like Emiya Kiritsugu.
The moment she touched the Holy Grail.
She subconsciously followed Leon's previous suggestion—
Wishing to return to the time she pulled the sword from the stone and find a more suitable King.
This wish had a specific path to fulfillment and was within the scope of the Holy Grail's wishes.
Thus, dazzling magic descended from the hole in the sky.
Enveloping Altria, it took her away from the modern era.
"Saber's wish has been granted, she is just a little girl after all, such a fate was too cruel for her." Irisviel was happy for Saber.
When it was Eriyi's turn to wish, she shook her head, telling Leon to "reach the Root" first.
"Let me go first? Why are you suddenly being humble?"
Leon didn't walk up to the Holy Grail to make a wish to it.
He directly controlled a wisp of consciousness to drill towards the hole in the sky.
Before entering the hole.
Leon waited for a moment.
He was waiting for the Servants sent by the World Consciousness.
In the Type-Moon World, the two great World Consciousness, Alaya and Gaia, would not easily allow people to enter the Root.
Because everyone who comes into contact with the Root could cause irreparable disasters to the World.
So Alaya would send those who had signed contracts with her, or Heroic Spirits from the Throne of Heroes.
To stop or even erase those who were about to come into contact with the Root.
But Leon's wait did not bring Heroic Spirits; instead, he received a vague message.
The style of that message was very similar to the World Consciousness of the Biochemical world.
[Enter *￥# World #￥ Truth @ * & Friend]
Well, Leon remembered that his traversing ability would package and send his information to the World Consciousness when he traversed.
Previous Worlds didn't have this thing called World Consciousness.
He subconsciously ignored it.
In Type-Moon, it was probably sent to Alaya and Gaia.
Those two Planet-level World Consciousness.
Since they understood his information, it was reasonable for them to have a good attitude towards him.
Leon sent a friendly message back, then drilled into the hole, arriving at the Root.
What is the Root?
Before, Leon only viewed the Root as a 'book that records all information of the World.'
But now he had a concrete perception.
It was pitch black here, but at the same time, it was colorful.
It was empty, but at the same time, it contained everything.
The Root is simple.
So simple that every glance could see a part of the World's truth.
But it was also very complex, so complex that every second seemed to have endless knowledge pouring into his mind.
Any ordinary Mage who arrived here would instantly be assimilated by the endless information.
But Leon was in his element here.
Although the strength of his different bodies was not entirely the same.
His soul was only one, and its strength was the sum of all his clones, which was a Cosmic level.
The Root of the Type-Moon World contains all the information of this small Multiverse.
Leon here was like bread absorbing Water, gaining new knowledge every second.
He had only previously comprehended the World construction laws of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But now, he was about to gain another piece of Cosmic level World construction knowledge.
Type-Moon's single Universe is not as large as Marvel's.
Its Multiverse, composed of countless parallel Worlds, is also not as vast as Marvel's.
But this knowledge of the Universe's construction, for Leon, helped him break out of the Marvelsystem in terms of laws.
And most importantly, this knowledge was completely transparent to him.
All information in the Type-Moon Root is transparent.
Whether it's the Five Great magic, or various miraculous abilities, physical rules, magic rules.
Any creature entering here can freely learn and comprehend.
It's just that those who arrived at the Root before this.
None dared to look at everything and learn everything like Leon.
Leon was very happy at this moment.
The feeling of comprehending the World's truth was ten thousand, even a hundred million times more refreshing than solving a difficult math problem.
However, the information of a small Multiverse is truly vast.
Even with unobstructed learning, it would require a relatively long time.
Leon left an m-body in the Root, preparing to wholeheartedly learn new knowledge.
And a small part of his consciousness continued to control his main body.
"I have reached the Root, go, Eriyi, go make your wish."
In front of Ryudou Temple's main hall.
Leon opened his eyes after half an hour of closing them, and let Eriyi make her wish.
Chapter 524 Eriya's Wish
"I hope Rejedo never leaves."
Eriyi made her wish to the Holy Grail.
The magic in the Holy Grail began to surge, but quickly settled down again.
Apparently, the Holy Grail could not grant this wish.
Eriyi blinked, a little disappointed, but not too surprised.
She thought for a moment and said, "I hope to fulfill Rejedo's wish."
This time, the Holy Grail had no reaction at all.
Eriyi continued to change her wish:
"I hope to use the remaining magic in the Holy Grail to help Altria achieve her wish."
Eriyi herself didn't have any particular goal she wanted to achieve, or anything she wanted to obtain.
She was very content to be able to enter the World of anime with Rejedo.
She felt that Altria needed help more than she did.
That girl, who concealed her gender to become King Arthur, was truly pitiful.
Eriyi remembered that Altria liked to eat delicious food.
So she wanted to wish for some Five-Spice Fried Rice to be sent to her.
But before she could add to her wish,
the Holy Grail had already released all its magic.
Dense magic enveloped Eriyi, and she slowly ascended like an Angel.
Rion was stunned, "Eriyi, what did you wish for?"
He sensed a large amount of magic breaking through time and space, preparing to send Eriyiaway.
Suddenly, the girl he brought was about to embark on a long journey.
This was too sudden.
Eriyi herself was also very bewildered.
She looked at Rion from the air, "I hope the Holy Grail can help Altria."
"Altria?"
Rion understood after a brief thought.
"Altria's true wish is for someone to replace her as the King of Britain."
"You want to help her, so now you've been turned into a Child of Heaven by the Holy Grail, and you're going to be King Arthur, Eriyi."
Eriyi's eyes lit up, like getting the protagonist's script in a murder mystery game: "Be King Arthur?"
But then she became a little anxious: "What about Rejedo?"
"I told you to call me Rion."
"What about you, Rion?" Eriyi hurriedly corrected herself.
"I… I'll go with you to take a look."
Most of Rion's consciousness was immersed in the Root.
Learning that knowledge would take some time.
During this time, it didn't matter where his main body was.
It wouldn't be bad to go see Altria at the end of the Age of Gods.
So Rion turned to look at the Emiya family.
"Weimiya Qieshi, goodbye, this time cherish your family well."
"The Holy Grail's magic is exhausted, and the war will start again sixty years from now."
"As for the Third Magic, look, I have mastered the Third Magic, the Einzbern family's mission is over."
Rion didn't forget to bid farewell to Weimiya Qieshi and his family of three, and incidentally displayed the Third Magic he learned from the Root.
Then, just before Eriyi disappeared, he grabbed her wrist and left the present World with her.
The Weimiya Qieshi family looked at each other inside Ryudoji Temple.
"Big sister is gone, Weimiya Qieshi, should we go home now?"
"No… Iliya and mother are no longer homunculi, we… we'll live in Fuyuki from now on."
...
Altria returned to the day she pulled the Sword in the Stone.
She held the Sword of Promised Victory, standing among the crowd surrounding the Holy Grail.
In fact, among the knights present, no one was more qualified to be King than her.
But she didn't think so.
She had deep doubts about herself in her heart.
The King doesn't understand human hearts.
Just as Tristan said.
She, Altria Pendragon, didn't understand human hearts, and was not a competent King.
Fortunately, this time, the Holy Grail would choose a more suitable King than her.
Altria gripped the hilt of her sword, determined to assist the new King in governing Britain well.
However, as more and more people stepped onto the high platform, tried to pull out the Sword in the Stone, and then descended in disappointment,
Altria began to get anxious.
Why hadn't the person chosen by the Holy Grail appeared yet?
Did she describe it incorrectly when she made her wish?
Altria looked left and right, gripping the hilt of her sword.
Fewer and fewer people walked onto the high platform.
The angle of the sun gradually lowered.
The enthusiastic atmosphere began to cool.
Altria noticed Kay and Merlin casting urging glances from the crowd.
But she was unmoved.
As time passed, the last knight present also walked down the high platform with his head down, unable to pull out the Sword in the Stone.
Merlin cleared his throat.
"Fate is always so coincidental, the most suitable person appears at the last moment, why doesn't that knight who hasn't tried yet come up and try?"
He looked at Altria with a smile.
Altria pursed her lips, knowing that something must have gone wrong with her wish.
She was about to suggest waiting for more knights to come and try.
Suddenly, a dense burst of magic erupted above the Sword in the Stone.
The brilliant magic twisted space.
Two figures crossed time and space.
The red-haired girl's clothes fluttered, and the black-haired young man was so handsome that he was impossible to look away from.
Everyone's gaze stopped on the man.
He had a mysterious and unfathomable aura that made everyone want to surrender and sing his praises.
Altria almost cried out in surprise.
It was actually Rion and Eriyi!
If Rion pulled out the Sword in the Stone, then Britain would be stable!
At this moment, others had similar thoughts to Altria.
They all inexplicably felt that the man who suddenly appeared was the new King destined to pull out the Sword in the Stone, and no one could be more suitable than him.
But just then,
the man patted the red-haired girl's head.
So the girl walked towards the megalith, her slender fingers gripped the hilt of the sword, and with a sword's cry, she pulled out the long sword!
She held the Sword in the Stone high, joy dancing in her eyes, and the red setting sun shone on her red hair and red eyes.
At this moment, the girl was like a red dragon spreading its wings.
"She pulled… pulled it out!"
"Red hair, red eyes, could she be the Red Dragon from the legends who will become the new King?"
"But she's a woman, how can a woman become King?"
The surrounding knights erupted into an uproar.
Merlin, even more so, looked as if he had seen a ghost.
His clairvoyance could see through to the future, but he had never seen this scene before.
All of this was different from the plan he and Uther had discussed.
But he wasn't annoyed, instead, he clapped his hands with a smile.
Interesting, too interesting.
Merlin felt that he would never be bored in the next few years.
However, Merlin didn't mind, which didn't mean others didn't mind.
After a brief shock, voices of refutation and doubt appeared in the crowd, and quickly spread.
"We don't need a woman as King, get down!"
"How can someone who looks like they came from an unknown background lead us to victory!"
There were many voices of doubt, but they quickly disappeared.
Because when the knights' curses began to affect Rion,
they began to fall down in droves.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with injured people foaming at the mouth and bleeding.
The righteous indignation on the scene instantly turned into dead silence.
The chaotic scene became quiet, and the sound of swallowing was clearly audible.
The knights looked at the two in fear, at a loss.
Suddenly, the blond girl walked out of the crowd.
She lifted her battle skirt and knelt on one knee.
"I, in the name of Knight Altria, hereby swear allegiance to the new King—King Arthur!"
"I swear never to betray, I swear to be forever brave, I swear to defend the territory, I swear to protect the new King…"
Chapter 525: New Biography of King Arthur
Altria's vow echoed through the crowd.
Her valiant, dark blue eyes were unwavering.
At the end of her vow, she drew her longsword and presented it to Eriyi with both hands.
Eriyi had seen many such scenes in the Yasha family.
But this time was different.
It was an ancient European knight's oath of fealty ceremony.
For a two-dimensional girl, it was a bullseye of a surprise.
Eriyi's small face tightened, and her eyes sparkled.
She took the longsword and, as solemnly as possible, lightly touched Altria's shoulders with the flat of the blade.
"I feel your loyalty, Knight Altria; from now on, you will be my Chief Knight."
Leon, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but smile at her words.
He was a bit taken out of the moment.
The real King Arthur was now a knight, and the solemn expressions of Eriyi and Altria seemed a bit odd no matter how he looked at them.
After the brief ceremony ended.
Eriyi did not immediately return the Sword of Promised Victory.
Instead, she plunged the Sword in the Stone into the ground and drew out the Oath Sword that Leon had forged for her from her waist.
The two Swords of Promised Victory crossed above her forehead.
She shouted: "Ex-calibur!"
During her journey through the Age of Gods, the Holy Grail's magic had transformed Eriyi, granting her magic circuits and a Red Dragon's heart.
This time, she successfully used the Curry Stick.
Both Oath Swords were unleashed simultaneously.
Golden pillars of light shot straight into the sky, pushing aside the clouds and radiating circles of golden ripples.
At this moment, Eriyi was like a god descended from heaven.
All the knights no longer had any doubts.
This was their new King.
Thus began the legend of King Arthur belonging to Eriyi.
… … … …
After drawing the Sword in the Stone.
First month.
King Arthur Eriyi Pendragon dispatched her first and only great general, Altria, to sweep across southern England.
Within a mere month, the great Red Dragon entered Camelot, the White City.
She used Camelot as a starting point to conquer the various fragmented kingdoms.
Second month.
When the army led by Knight Altria encountered resistance during their conquest.
King Arthur transformed into a giant, subduing all enemies with a miraculous light (Full Moon Wave).
Wherever the light reached.
Even the most wicked and despicable lords.
Would be deeply moved, kneel before King Arthur, and hoarsely confess their sins.
Third month.
All the fragmented cities and kingdoms came under King Arthur's command.
The reputation of the King of Knights echoed across the entire land of Britain.
All who heard were invariably impressed and moved.
Knights and heroes from various cities donned their armor and rushed to Camelot, pledging allegiance to King Arthur, the King of Eternity.
Thus, the Knights of the Round Table were formally established.
Chief Knight Altria pointed her sword diagonally to the east, swearing that she would never allow anyone to betray King Arthur.
Because Altria was too upright and selfless.
Rumors subtly spread within the knight order that "the Chief Knight does not understand human nature."
Fourth month.
Winter arrived, and the contradictions brought about by the rapid conquest of cities in Britainbegan to erupt in concentrated fashion.
Most of the citizens in the cities lacked clothing and food.
The incorporated troops were a mixed bag.
At this time, King Arthur Eriyi's second strategist, Merlin.
Proposed abandoning the people in the peripheral cities, shortening the defense line, and preventing the Anglo-Saxon invasion from the north.
Then this White-haired individual was slapped onto the wall by the first strategist, Leon.
Strategist Leon ascended the stage and proclaimed that the King was chosen by heaven and would naturally receive divine favor.
On that day, Camelot was submerged by rice and meat falling from the sky.
It is said that on that night, Chief Knight Altria's eyes were filled with tears.
She held a chicken leg in one hand and rice in the other.
She ate from dusk until deep into the night, exclaiming that she had never been so happy.
The next day, convoys laden with food departed from Camelot, stretching for several miles in a mighty stream.
From then on, the World submitted, and no one in Britain failed to praise the benevolent name of King Arthur Eriyi.
Fifth month.
Britain's army continued northward, sweeping aside the Saxons and reclaiming lost territories.
Sixth month.
The White Dragon Vortigern finally made a move against Britain.
It dispatched an army—and then the army was defeated.
It personally entered the battlefield—and then was subdued by the Full Moon Wave.
Thus, Britain completely achieved peace and stability.
But unfortunately, King Arthur Eriyi had no further ambition to advance.
Facing suggestions from knights like Kay and Gawain about taking the opportunity to attack and occupy Rome to the south.
Eriyi chose to refuse.
Thus, unknowingly, several years passed.
The land of Britain completely reached the end of the Age of Gods.
The large-scale disappearance of "mystery" made production difficult for the people here.
At this time, Strategist Leon opened up a dimensional World and named it Avalon, the Eternity.
King Arthur Eriyi led all her people into Avalon, and they would find Eternity peace within it.
… … … …
"It is said that after entering Avalon, King Arthur Eriyi was unwilling to marry and, in a fit of pique, established a constitutional monarchy, with Altria as Prime Minister…"
Leon read the legendary biography in his hand.
"Is there a problem with this? King Arthur, the fading of the Age of Gods, withdrawing from the stage of history, everything is just like the historical legends. How can this even be a Singularity?"
In front of Leon were Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash from Chaldea.
Not long ago, the two had intruded into Avalon.
Talking about things like the Incineration of Human History and Singularities.
They were then captured by Altria and brought before Leon.
"The Singularity here doesn't have much impact on proper history, but the Doctor said you can help us save the World!" said Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"The Doctor said? Hmm… the Counter Force must have spoken through him," Leon said with some surprise.
This Counter Force was quite considerate of human feelings.
It didn't ask him for help directly.
Instead, it found an intermediary.
"Incineration of Human History, huh… simple."
Leon snapped his fingers, and the scene before the few people present instantly shifted, bringing them outside the Universe.
Altria and the others didn't even have time to be surprised by the World bubbles before them.
They saw Leon wave his finger, and a small string of World bubbles detached from the cluster of Universes.
"Now, those Singularities have all become independent from proper history," Leon said, "They will no longer affect proper history, and the Incineration of Human History is over."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was dumbfounded.
The doomsday crisis was just over like that?
She stammered, "Then, what about Goetia?"
"Goetia…"
Leon glanced in a certain direction, and the mastermind instantly died on the spot.
"Alright, he's dead. You can go back."
After another snap of his fingers, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash returned to Chaldea.
Several more years passed.
But Chaldea once again sought out Leon.
"What, Lostbelt? Alien God invasion? You really take me for a savior, huh?"
Leon had entered a critical moment.
This time, he did not intervene.
Instead, he sent Eriyi and Altria to help.
The four girls set out together, traversing one Lostbelt after another, resolving crisis after crisis.
Eriyi was content, having enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Altria grew from meeting another Lion King in the Round Table Domain Lostbelt.
After the two returned to Avalon, another decade passed.
Leon emerged from his seclusion on this day.
"Phew, I've finally comprehended everything. Come on, Eriyi, let's go find a gourmet World to eat something delicious."
"Gourmet? What gourmet?" Altria heard the news and came over, her eyes shining.
Chapter 526: Gourmet World
In the World of Toriko.
In a lush green vegetable patch.
Eriyi sat leaning against a giant corn stalk over ten meters tall.
She held a two-meter-long pea pod in her arms and slowly cut it open with the Sword of Promised Victory.
As the blade glided, the pod opened smoothly, revealing clusters of clear, jelly-like substance.
Eriyi put down her longsword, picked up a piece of the jelly, and buried her face in it.
When she looked up, her cheeks were puffed out, a look of savoring deliciousness on her face.
Rejedo was not far from her, using his consciousness to pluck clouds from the sky.
Those clouds were all rainbow candies; once picked, they could be eaten directly, crunchy and with various flavors.
Both of them quietly enjoyed the food, a picture of peaceful times.
Suddenly, the giant corn forest began to shake.
The ground trembled continuously, as if a colossal creature was approaching.
As wide corn leaves and branches were pushed aside.
A twenty-meter-long, fat-headed fish poked out its head.
Of course, a fat-headed fish couldn't possibly run onto land by itself.
It had been caught from the sea by Altria.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho."
Because Altria's true body was sent back to the time of the Selection by the Holy Grail.
And she didn't abandon the Sword of Promised Victory afterward.
So her physique remained as petite as ever.
Compared to the fat-headed fish, she was like an ant carrying an entire ham.
She heaved and threw the fat-headed fish onto the ground, making the entire cornfield shake.
"Rejedo! I'm back from hunting! Today we're eating this delicious fish!"
Altria cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly for Rejedo.
The cowlick on her head swayed in the wind, and her heart was already beating faster.
And the object of her affection was currently giving her a dead fish eye from beneath her feet, about to be eaten by her.
"You caught a fish... By the way, why do you need an extra modifier before 'fish'?
Rejedo appeared on a corn leaf above Altria, half-crouching and complaining.
"Because it must be delicious!"
Altria drew her longsword and began to make decorative cuts on the fish.
She moved swiftly across the fish's body, cutting one side, then kicking it over to flip it, and continued making decorative cuts.
After finishing, she jumped down: "Rejedo, quickly cook it, or it won't be fresh!"
"Alright... Honestly, I don't think even one fish is enough for you."
Rejedo continued to complain, but his hands were not idle.
He spread out a Heat Vision, giving the fat-headed fish a full-body sauna.
Then he sprinkled a handful of cumin, a handful of chopped green onions, and a handful of chili powder.
An enticing aroma instantly wafted out.
Rejedo's mastery of heat could be said to have reached its peak.
However, he was very casual with seasoning.
"Oh! So fragrant! As expected, Rejedo, your cooking is good enough!"
Altria sniffed lightly, her eyes shining, her cowlick swaying.
For this girl who grew up on an English farm, whose best childhood food was mashed potatoes with roasted meat.
Even the simple act of sprinkling cumin could make her swoon.
Altria tore off two fish bones, four or five meters long, with plump roasted fish meat hanging from them.
She gave one bone each to Rejedo and Eriyi, who had come over.
It wasn't that she could resist the temptation of delicious food and knew how to share.
It was that the rest of the roasted fish was all hers.
Altria directly pounced on the roasted fish and began to devour it.
Estimating by her eating speed.
Rejedo felt that this roasted fish wouldn't last an hour.
"Dinner tonight is fish," Eriyi climbed onto the corn leaf where Rejedo was.
She was accustomed to Altria's appetite.
During their time in Camelot.
When Rejedo made delicious food, Altria's most frequent words were—
"Delicious!"
"Another bowl, please!"
"Another bowl!"
"Bring the pot over!"
...
Eriyi was about to take a bite of the steaming fish meat.
But Rejedo stopped her: "Tonight's dinner isn't fish."
"Not fish... Then is Altria eating a pre-dinner dessert?" Eriyi also learned to complain.
"Her King's Stomach is just like that," Rejedo waved his hand.
"I've already developed an enhanced version of Gourmet Cells, so today we can eat something good."
The three of them had been in the World of Toriko for two days.
This World is very peculiar; it originated from a "Gourmet" Big Bang.
Initially, a group of Gourmet Gods lived in the "Final Land."
They indulged in delicious food all day, their appetites never satisfied.
But one day, the appetite in the Final Land reached its limit, triggering the Gourmet Big Bang.
Thus, all the Gourmet energy dispersed, eventually forming a cluster of Universes.
These Universes contained all sorts of incredible delicacies.
Even many Planets orbiting stars were Planets composed of blocks of delicious food.
And the original Gourmet Gods gradually evolved into Gourmet Cell Demons.
When humans transplant Gourmet Cells, they can continuously grow stronger by consuming high-grade ingredients.
At the same time, the demons within the Gourmet Cells will also grow, until one day they begin to backfire on the host.
When Rejedo arrived in this World, the first thing he did was collect Gourmet Cells.
These cells greatly enriched the diversity of his gene pool.
After consuming them all with his Black Light Clone, he quickly discerned the essence of Gourmet Cells.
Now he has even completed the upgrade of Gourmet Cells.
"The new Gourmet Cells have no risk of backfire; they will only continuously absorb Gourmet energy and strengthen your body."
"When you reach a certain critical point, you will feel full."
Rejedo said, holding Eriyi's fair white arm.
"I've made some modifications to your cells, and now we can start preparing the main course."
A misty White light enveloped Eriyi.
Every cell in her body was wrapped in Rejedo's energy, feeling warm and cozy.
After Rejedo withdrew from her body, a sense of emptiness immediately surged.
At the same time, she also felt a faint hunger, as if her body was craving food.
Eriyi looked at Rejedo, blinked, then looked at Altria.
"Altria should really like Gourmet Cells," Eriyi said.
Then she looked up again: "So what are we going to eat?"
"Let me see," Rejedo pulled out a stack of menus.
"These are the menus of some of the more famous Gourmet Hunters on Earth, so we'll just go through them all simply first."
As he spoke, he pinched his chin, "But we also need a suitable chef, otherwise, we won't be able to bring out the best flavor of the ingredients."
"Rejedo, your cooking is very good," Eriyi said.
Rejedo shook his finger: "There are always some culinary geniuses who, with a little training, can surpass me. Also, call me Rejedo."
Eriyi nodded repeatedly.
...
Half an hour later.
In the World of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.
Rejedo sat at the head of a long dining table covered with a tablecloth.
On either side were Eriyi and Altria.
The three were waiting for Naginiri Erina, one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Culinary Academy, to serve the dishes.
Naginiri Erina was undoubtedly one of the most talented chefs in this World.
In the original work, even near the end, the male protagonist's cooking still couldn't surpass hers.
As three exquisite tuna dishes were served.
Naginiri Erina stood nervously to the side with her assistant.
She couldn't help but be nervous.
The moment these few people appeared, they threw a giant tuna weighing dozens of tons in front of her.
They said that if she cooked it deliciously enough, they would consider hiring her as a private chef.
If anyone else had said that to her.
Naginiri Erina would definitely kick them with her stocking-clad foot, stomping on their face.
But facing these three people, she inexplicably felt that this was an opportunity she absolutely could not miss.
Chapter 527 The Journey Ends
Under Naginiri Erina's nervous gaze.
Leon was the first to pick up his chopsticks, grabbing a slice of tuna from the plate and putting it into his mouth.
"This taste…"
The tuna melted in his mouth.
Leon couldn't help but pause.
The fish slices had many seasonings and auxiliary ingredients added.
But those ingredients did not affect the flavor; instead, they complemented each other, amplifying the dish's main flavor to its optimal state.
Whether it was the fish's juice or its springy texture, everything was just right.
This level of seasoning and ingredient processing was the first Leon had ever seen.
"Good, very good," Leon praised. "Congratulations, Miss Naginiri, you've been hired! As long as you're willing, you can leave with us."
"Really?" Naginiri Erina's eyes widened, and she began to rejoice.
However, she then hesitated: "Um, may I ask where 'leaving with you' means to go…?"
"It's to…"
"Awwoo!"
Suddenly, a whimper interrupted their conversation.
Altria, eating the tuna, suddenly curled up in her chair.
Her cheeks were flushed, her Green eyes like a pool of spring water, and she squirmed in her chair.
The White shirt tucked into her high-waisted skirt was taut, and the buttons seemed to be on the verge of bursting open.
"This… taste… Mmm-hmm, it's like being touched by countless feathers… Ah, it's, it's…"
Altria twisted her graceful waist indistinctly.
Her entire state looked quite unwell.
Eriyi's face immediately showed surprise, and she silently pushed away the untouched tuna in front of her.
Leon turned his head to Naginiri Erina and said, "We're going to a place where it's convenient for you to drug people."
"That's really good… What do you mean 'drug people'? A true chef would never do such a thing!"
Naginiri Erina's cheeks were slightly red, but she showed a proud expression.
Altria's reaction was the greatest affirmation of her culinary skills.
...
"Hey, hey, hey, that guy called Little Chef must have added fluorescent powder to the food, it must be fluorescent powder!" Naginiri Erina complained wildly.
Little Chef World.
On the way after Liu Maoxing became a Special Grade Chef and left Yangquan Restaurant.
Leon and his group stopped this genius chef and his little girlfriend, offering them a cooking challenge and an invitation.
The ingredient was also tuna.
Liu Maoxing made a stew.
The moment he lifted the lid, a golden glow shot up into the sky.
This made Naginiri Erina exclaim that he must have added drugs.
Liu Maoxing's cooking didn't have too many flashy "side effects."
His dishes were pure and wonderful.
After Naginiri Erina took a bite.
She kept saying strange things like "It's like setting sail on the sea, with waves hitting your face, crisp and refreshing."
Altria, having learned her lesson once, kept her head down the whole way.
But at this moment, she couldn't resist picking up her chopsticks again.
So she also began to express feelings about the ocean, sunlight, and waves.
"Alright, Little Chef, you're hired."
Leon was very satisfied.
Seeing that Little Chef was still a bit hesitant, he added, "Of course, your little girlfriend can come too."
...
Besides Naginiri Erina and Little Chef.
Leon also went to the "God Chef Little Fugui" World and brought Little Fugui and his Grandpa.
Finally, everyone returned to the Gourmet Food World.
Several chefs began to work together to process various ingredients.
For ordinary people's physical abilities.
Cooking various tough or huge ingredients was undoubtedly a daunting challenge.
Leon simply modified everyone with Gourmet Cells.
After the chefs themselves ate a round, their strength surged.
Grandpa Hong, Little Fugui's Grandpa, eating Naginiri Erina's dishes, even transformed directly into a muscular strongman during the clothes-bursting process.
…
"Dishes served!"
Little Fugui helped everyone.
He announced the names of the dishes, serving them one by one onto the table.
"Appetizer - Ghost God's Entrails, Soup - Four-finned Sailfish, Fish - Puffer Whale Sashimi, Meat - Drunken Ox…"
A total of eight dishes.
This time, even the big eater Altria was satisfied after finishing them.
The meal ended.
Except for Leon, everyone either closed their eyes to rest or engaged in exercise.
The Gourmet energy in the food was strengthening their bodies.
Every moment they were becoming stronger.
Days passed.
Leon began to hunt more powerful prey.
Everyone's diet became increasingly high-end.
From the initial Puffer Whale with a lower 'Capture Level'.
To the later Capture Level 48, legally designated Mammoths that could bring about extinction-level disasters.
And finally, the Eight Beast Kings with Capture Levels above six thousand, who could destroy a Planet with a casual blow.
After eating that meal of the Eight Kings' flesh and blood.
Everyone became Cosmic level powerhouses.
But Leon's diet clearly wouldn't stop there.
Soon he bid farewell to the Eight Beast Kings who had lost their flesh and blood.
He took the chef team into space.
Planet-level Pufferfish, Gourmet Planets, GOD… countless high-end ingredients were randomly served in the Universe.
At the end of the journey.
Leon and his group encountered a Cosmic Taipan Snake.
This was a Cosmic creature with a Capture Level of 530,000, and its body length exceeded eighty million kilometers.
The strength of this creature had already touched the threshold of a single Cosmic level.
Leon initially fought it with his Steel Body, and they were evenly matched.
One person and one snake fought to the edge of the Universe.
Tens of thousands of superclusters were affected by the battle.
Finally, Leon had no choice but to use power beyond his physical body, unleashing a thought-generated Universe.
Only then did the Cosmic Taipan Snake reasonably yield some of its flesh and blood.
Leon took out a portion of it and gave it to the chef team for cooking.
Little Chef, as the head chef, prepared 108 dishes in the style of a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
When the meal began, every dish glowed golden, as dazzling as a star.
Even Leon's main body benefited greatly after eating this meal.
Altria and Eriyi even completed a life transformation.
"It was a wonderful gourmet journey, but it must come to an end."
A few days later, Leon bid farewell to the chef team.
"I'll send you back to your respective Worlds; we'll meet again in the future."
All the Worlds Leon had reached.
He had plans to move them and merge them with the Biochemical world.
So, everyone was destined to meet again in the future.
The Worlds where Little Chef and Little Fugui resided were both during the Qing Dynasty.
With their current strength, going back would inevitably cause Earth-shattering changes.
Naginiri Erina, upon returning home, would also be unrivaled in the culinary World.
Everyone had a bright future.
Leon, meanwhile, continued his travels with Eriyi and Altria.
Eriyi had bought over a hundred trials back then.
So Leon also took the two through over a hundred Worlds.
They bullied Quanzhen in Under One Person, and saved the apocalypse in Thirteenth Star.
They learned the Little Cosmic system in Saint Seiya, and watched the Apostles in Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The final leg of their journey ended in the Miniature Garden of "Problem Children Are From Another World."
Here, Leon observed a brand new Cosmic architecture and countless biological genes.
Eriyi and Altria left their respective legends here.
After leaving the Miniature Garden, Leon sent Eriyi and Altria back to their respective Worlds.
And he returned to the Resident Evil Universe.
The fusion of the New World had already begun.
His main body had been delayed for too long.
