Seeing Artoria suffer a setback put Morgan in an even better mood. She turned her head to look at the depressed Artoria and said, "Then, you should answer my question!"
Hearing Morgan's words, Artoria remained silent for a while before slowly speaking. "I want to go back to the past to save Britain and change history."
She hoped the Holy Grail would return her to the moment she pulled the sword from the stone to become King, thereby changing the fate of Britain's destruction.
Morgan snorted in derision upon hearing this answer. "How naive. Has it ever occurred to you that such an event has already appeared in other histories?"
Others might not know, but how could she not? Perhaps the other party would succeed, but the moment they did, it would become a Lostbelt just like her. After all, she had come from a Lostbelt herself.
Her younger sister also had a Lostbelt counterpart. Britain was destined to perish. If a version of Britain did not perish, it could only exist as a Lostbelt, and this Saber didn't have the strength to achieve even that.
Morgan's words caused Artoria's pupils to shrink. She looked at Morgan in disbelief. "It has already... appeared in other histories? Then... was it successful?"
Would Britain still perish? Could her plan succeed? She desperately needed to know the answer to these questions!!
"It failed. Give up. You are destined to never succeed. The other you turning Britain into a Lostbelt was already the best possible outcome." Morgan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
Failed... even the Holy Grail couldn't stop it? Or was her royal sister lying to her? Artoria looked dazed, blankly following Morgan toward Ren Isana's location.
Morgan didn't say anything more. As for whether she believed it or not? Who cared? Believe it or not, she didn't feel like explaining. The royal sister of this era was still too naive, lacking even a shred of that person's majesty.
And... she wasn't very well-developed in certain areas, unlike her... although she wasn't that big herself, she was still much larger and taller than the other. This left her quite satisfied.
If she couldn't get her payback against the Lion King, couldn't she at least find some satisfaction with this version? Morgan's mood was incredibly pleasant.
In this manner, the two Heroic Spirits soon reached Ren Isana. When Ren Isana saw the dazed Artoria with the ahoge on her head looking limp and wilted, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. Was the blow that heavy? Even the ahoge had lost its spirit?
"Irisviel!" Upon arriving, Artoria noticed the unconscious Irisviel and her heart tightened. She rushed forward to check the woman's condition.
Finding that there was nothing seriously wrong, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya and spoke slowly, "Take Irisviel and leave."
The remaining Holy Grail War no longer involved Kiritsugu Emiya. He could exit the stage directly; since his [Command Spells] were gone, he no longer had the right to continue participating.
Kiritsugu Emiya didn't say a word. He simply nodded and stepped forward to pick up Irisviel, carrying her toward Maiya Hisau. Seeing this, Ren Isana released the magic binding Maiya Hisau.
Finding that she could move and speak again, Maiya Hisau hurriedly got out of the car to help. After placing Irisviel in the back seat, she got into the driver's seat and started the car to leave.
Watching them depart, Ren Isana looked at Morgan and the others. "Let's go. We're heading to the Holy Grail's location. We'll also take a look at the Greater Grail system—that's a remnant of the [Third Magic]."
After saying this, Ren Isana directly released [Spatial Magic], leading everyone toward Mount Enzou. When Da Vinci-chan heard this, her interest was immediately piqued. The Greater Grail system? She definitely had to see that.
"Alaya, does he know a bit too much?" While Ren Isana and the others were heading to Mount Enzou, Alaya, who had been watching the group, turned a confused gaze toward Gaia.
Whether it was the contamination of the Holy Grail or the details of the Greater Grail system, how did Ren Isana know? Wasn't he from outside this world? How did he seem so intimately familiar with the inner workings of their world?
"It seems... this fellow really does know too much. Moreover... is it really okay to let him go there?" Gaia was also starting to feel worried, as Ren Isana was quite special.
If Ren Isana really opened the hole to the Holy Grail, would he dive straight in and head for the [Root of Akasha]? If that guy reached the Root... they couldn't imagine how much information about their world he would take with him.
That talent of his was simply too intimidating. The two Wills whispered and discussed for a while before reaching a decision: they absolutely could not let Ren Isana enter the Root. If he actually got in, everything would be ruined!
At this moment, Ren Isana had no idea that he was already being treated with caution by the World Wills. He arrived at Mount Enzou with Morgan, Da Vinci-chan, and Artoria.
The group entered a great cavern. Da Vinci-chan's voice suddenly rang in Ren Isana's ears. "Master, I have an idea. After the Holy Grail War ends, we are ultimately supposed to return to the Throne of Heroes, but I want to see your world."
Ren Isana looked at her with some confusion at these sudden words. He communicated through his mind—*Is she guarding against Alaya and Gaia?* Ren Isana quickly understood her intention.
These words didn't just echo in Ren Isana's mind; they also rang in the minds of Morgan and Artoria. This immediately confused the other two, as they didn't understand why Da Vinci-chan was saying this.
"Did you research something?" Ren Isana knew Da Vinci-chan had run off to capture Iskandar for research, but he didn't know exactly what she was planning. However, now that she brought it up, a guess formed in his mind.
"Exactly. As long as we disperse the Magic Power from this manifestation and preserve our own Spirit Graphs, then when you take me out of this world, I can use the Spirit Graph to manifest again. Because the Spirit Graph contains all my information, I can continue to exist as long as I don't return to the Throne of Heroes.", Da Vinci-chan explained her plan.
Given the chance to go to another world, how could Da Vinci-chan pass it up? That was why she had sought out Iskandar at the start of the battle, imprisoning him to begin her research.
With her brilliance, she had easily researched a way to stow away. The core of the Spirit Graph was the most important thing. If she dispersed her current power and kept the Spirit Graph intact, Ren Isana could just collect it and leave this world.
As long as she could preserve her Spirit Graph, she wouldn't have to return to the Throne of Heroes. Once she stowed away to another world, Alaya and Gaia wouldn't be able to control her, would they?
It wasn't as if their reach could extend to an entire other world. Although she wasn't the original body, she suspected the original body would support her doing this.
"The idea is sound, though it would be even better if we could take our main bodies over." Morgan spoke up as well. However, she was even more radical, wanting to bring her true self along.
"That's impossible. Alaya would never allow us to do that!" Da Vinci-chan thought the idea was great, but it was fundamentally unfeasible.
Sneaking out a single Spirit Graph was one thing, but the main body? That was out of the question. It was far too difficult for a main body to leave the Throne of Heroes; Alaya and Gaia guarded them like thieves.
Hearing this, Morgan thought for a moment and realized it made sense. Such an outcome was indeed likely; Alaya and Gaia would never permit their main bodies to cross over.
Using Da Vinci-chan's method of sneaking away might work, but the main body? Forget it; those two Wills would stop them instantly.
"Then how do you plan to do it?" Ren Isana nodded. He knew Da Vinci-chan wanted to go to his world; ever since their first interaction, he understood she was very interested in his home.
"Wait until we've handled things here, then use a [Command Spell] to force us to disperse our Magic Power and return to the Lesser Grail. Just remember to preserve the Spirit Graphs." Ren Isana still had [Command Spells], so achieving this would be simple.
In fact, once they reached another world, they could manifest again as long as there was Magic Power—they wouldn't even need to use Ren Isana's own Magic Power. On the side, Artoria listened to their conversation with a face full of bewilderment.
She didn't understand what they were discussing. Since she didn't know Ren Isana's identity or that he was from another world, she had no idea what this was all about.
"What are you talking about?" Artoria asked, unable to contain her confusion. She truly couldn't wrap her head around it.
Morgan shot a glance at her foolish sister and gave her a brief explanation. Finally, she couldn't help but add, "If you don't want to go to another world, you can just return to the Throne of Heroes!"
If possible, she actually hoped Artoria would come along. That way, she'd have someone to order around. What a great opportunity—wouldn't she have to use Artoria as a maid?
"Another world..." After hearing her royal sister's explanation, a flash of surprise appeared in Artoria's eyes. She didn't answer immediately, instead falling into deep thought.
Ren Isana didn't think much of it. If she wanted to go, he'd bring her along; if not, so be it. Bringing one more or one less didn't matter much to him anyway.
Ignoring the others for a moment, Ren Isana turned his gaze toward the great cavern before him. He pulled out the Lesser Grail. As soon as it appeared, a blue light began to glow within the cavern.
The Lesser Grail in his hand floated out automatically. The Holy Grail system hidden within the cavern was activated at that moment. The Lesser Grail radiated a golden light, and the Greater Grail began to manifest as a shimmering presence.
Looking at the Greater Grail system before him, Ren Isana's [Jianjigu] silently began to activate. The Greater Grail was effectively a part of the [Third Magic]—an incomplete version that served as the magical center for the entire Fuyuki City Holy Grail War system.
It had only one function: to collect Magic Power and open a path to the Root. Once the path was open, one would have infinite Magic Power, allowing for the Materialization of the Soul and the achievement of eternal life!
