Chapter 510: Tao Pai Pai's Ambition
"What was your name again, Chrollo?"
"Alright, Chrollo, I guess you probably know those people from the Matou family, who want to steer the Holy Grail War towards that ending, and then have Rin Tohsaka end everything with the Jewel Sword."
"But unfortunately, that's already fated not to happen."
Tao Pai Pai's words left Rin Tohsaka and Emiya bewildered, especially Rin Tohsaka. She had never known that she had become a part of Chrollo's plan.
Moreover, something like the Jewel Sword, though the Tohsaka family had so-called blueprints for it, was not something a human Magus could create. That was… magic!
Chrollo's expression was serious; he indeed held such thoughts.
Their team's strength was comparable to the Carnivorous Flower team, but theoretically, the Carnivorous Flower team, backed by Matou Sakura who could blacken at any time, had a greater advantage.
They could only choose to leverage the plot's advantage, having Rin Tohsaka cooperate with Emiya Shirou, and through Emiya Shirou's projection magic, find a way for the Jewel Sword to appear. Then Rin Tohsaka could naturally wield the Jewel Sword and wreak havoc.
And for a treasure of the Jewel Sword's caliber, as a Reincarnator, who wouldn't have ideas about it…
He thought of Tao Pai Pai having already attacked the Matou family mansion, guessing whether the other party had already killed Matou Sakura.
However, Bai Cangshu did not give him more information, but suddenly changed the subject, saying,
"White Mask must have contacted you, right?"
Chrollo was startled, his expression subtly changing, but he did not answer.
Bai Cangshu merely sneered.
"I guess White Mask must have promised you quite a lot, and even after knowing of my appearance, she would tell you that you could team up to hunt me…"
At this moment, another voice came through the earpiece in Chrollo's ear.
"Boss, that White Mask found us. She contacted us and said she could send Gilgamesh to help us hunt Tao Pai Pai…"
Although the voice in Chrollo's ear was faint, Bai Cangshu's senses, with his physique breaking through 50, were keen enough to hear the number of times a fly's wings flapped.
He merely curved his lips, looking at Chrollo.
Chrollo's face paled, and he immediately refused.
"Tell her we're not interested, and tell her to get lost!"
He felt a bit guilty, but Bai Cangshu didn't care about that.
After choosing to hunt White Mask, he not only focused on the Type-Moon World that White Mask was about to enter but also specifically collected some of White Mask's previous deeds.
He found that White Mask indeed possessed a considerable degree of Reincarnator talent, truly worthy of being a Reincarnator who could obtain the special sequence of the card.
During her growth, White Mask successively manipulated and caused the collapse of over 10 teams, the most famous of which was the Fifth Element.
Kay from the Fifth Element was a Reincarnator and fighter with excellent combat aptitude, but he was completely manipulated by White Mask.
White Mask enjoyed toying with other Reincarnators; things like credit had no need to exist for her.
She often utilized her unique insights into the plot world to gain the world's general trend, and then, with that momentum, forced other Reincarnator teams to cooperate with her.
Those Reincarnator teams clearly knew White Mask's malicious nature, yet out of fear of the general trend, they could only cooperate with her by chance, and ultimately, as expected, they were abandoned by White Mask.
At the same time, White Mask was very adept at digging up hidden plotlines and finding various secret items, a genius Reincarnator in non-combat aspects.
Bai Cangshu had already experienced this once in the Jujutsu Kaisen world, but at that time, Bai Cangshu only thought that White Mask had relied on a special card ability to activate the Lord Taishan in that world, but from the information he learned afterward,
White Mask herself was very good at digging into the hidden information of these plot worlds.
She probably realized the connection between those derivative worlds even earlier than Bai Cangshu, and deliberately collected items to allow herself to achieve unique sublimation across worlds.
Under the blessing of the Noble Phantasm Heart Vortex, with this information, Bai Cangshu clearly understood White Mask's true purpose.
All these other Reincarnators were merely tools White Mask found to delay him. The reason Bai Cangshu did not continue trying to kill the Matou family was that he had a clearer plan.
White Mask's ultimate goal was to initiate the Human Complementation Project in this world, although he didn't know how White Mask would initiate the Human Complementation Project in a world without Angels.
But since White Mask did not have Gilgamesh directly try to kill him during their first meeting, even considering the factor that she couldn't command Gilgamesh very well,
At the very least, White Mask's killing intent towards him was not that strong.
This could only mean that White Mask's plan still needed time.
Bai Cangshu actually had a more direct guess: in this world, to make all humans turn into "orange juice" and completely merge, probably the most reliable method was only that one.
The All the Evils of the World currently contained in the Great Grail would twist human wishes, fulfilling them in the most malicious way.
White Mask's wish complemented those black muds perfectly.
In other words, White Mask actually hoped that Bai Cangshu would hunt everywhere, and she only needed to form an alliance with other Reincarnators and Masters.
Then she could watch Bai Cangshu fight those people.
Whether Bai Cangshu won and the Holy Grail War ended early, or Bai Cangshu died and she slowly reaped the benefits, both were good outcomes.
If Bai Cangshu wanted to kill Matou Sakura, he would inevitably have to fight Rider·Medusa. Even though Bai Cangshu now had considerable confidence in winning, he was unwilling to start the battle at this moment.
Because he also had his own plan.
If White Mask desired the All the Evils of the World that would descend after the Holy Grail War, then what Bai Cangshu coveted was something even earlier.
He wanted… Servants.
Yes, after Bai Cangshu saw that his Liberation of the Noble Phantasm Heart Vortex could acquire the same nature as the target, he had a bold idea.
Currently, there was a small grail Ilyasviel and a nearly small grail Matou Sakura in this world, but he could completely become a third small grail.
Furthermore, Ilyasviel and Matou Sakura would experience significant problems due to Servants being stored within them, and would eventually die.
But he wasn't afraid…
His interior had long become a battlefield for various spirits; in this world, he had successively captured Guardian Spirits and incomplete spiritual bodies of Shinigami, increasing the richness of the spirit seeds in his consciousness sea.
However, Servants were different from those complete dead spirits. How exactly did the legendary bonuses work? Could the so-called Noble Phantasms be contained within his consciousness sea…
Bai Cangshu's exploration of the plot world was far less profound than White Mask's, but his obsession and madness for various powers surpassed White Mask's.
Therefore, he uncharacteristically did not go on a killing spree; instead, he mercifully wanted to cooperate with others, hoping that Servants would not die as much as possible before he was ready.
And after he was ready… it would be best if all Servants could die instantly.
Bai Cangshu smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Perhaps you don't know, I am a very good collaborator, and I abide by contracts."
Chrollo was skeptical. Indeed, there were no rumors of Tao Pai Pai breaking contracts. On the contrary, that woman, Honglian Modao · Luo Xi, had regained the trust of Silent Death and re-established herself due to her cooperation with Tao Pai Pai.
Chrollo looked at Tao Pai Pai, who was close at hand, hesitated, and finally nodded.
