As a typical neutral evil person, the Dark Prince Greya is obviously not like his sister who does things as she pleases and without any rules.
After arriving in Fuyuki City, he did not rush to cause trouble for little Annie immediately. Instead, he first obtained a legal identity for himself, and then acquired some industries as an investor, transforming himself into a member of the world's upper class.
Especially those places that little Annie often visited, such as cold drink shops, dessert shops, and restaurants, almost without exception, all of them were taken away by various methods.
Then, Shuoyou quietly manufactured surveillance cameras that were far beyond the world's technological level and installed them in the store.
This way, Graya could monitor her sister's every move without alerting anyone.
Not only that, he also acquired the largest taxi company, freight company, and various landmark buildings of sufficient height in Fuyuki City, and secretly installed a large number of surveillance cameras on them.
Ultimately, these cameras will build a huge, all-round, three-dimensional network with almost no blind spots.
Any Master or Servant who leaves the base will immediately appear on the large screen in the monitoring room, and even at night when there is no light, the night vision function will capture them clearly.
Even when Kiritsugu Emiya and his assistant and lover Hisau Maiya were hiding in the room doing some intimate acts, there was no privacy at all.
Moreover, since no magic or magical power was used, it was a complete technological crush, so it would not trigger those magic barriers specifically designed for this type of situation.
In this way, it took the Dark Prince less than a day to build an intelligence system that was unimaginable to most people in this world.
As for the source of the money...
He did not simply print money or create gold like little Anne did, but instead obtained some "donations" from wealthy people around the world through charm, suggestion, mind control and other methods.
Although the amount of "donation" by each person is only a few hundred thousand to one or two million, the number of donors is huge.
The most important thing is that the sources of this wealth are legal and can be used for open business activities.
At this moment, Graya was standing on the top floor of a building in the center of Fuyuki City, staring blankly at the images marked with red frames on the screen. After several minutes, he asked, "So these are the information of all the Masters and Servants in this Holy Grail War?"
"That's right, Your Highness.
And according to your requirements, we have currently screened out two suitable alternatives.
One of them is Diarmuid Odin, who descended as a Lancer.
The other is Altria Pendragon, who descended into the Saber class.
The common feature of the above two servants is that they have a very bad relationship with their masters, but they are not the kind of Heroic Spirits who will actively plot against or even betray their masters.
If you can offer the other party conditions that they cannot refuse and force them to voluntarily transfer the Command Seals, then as a Servant, it should not provoke too strong resistance.
In addition, Gilgamesh who descends as the Archer class is also a good choice.
Because according to our observation, the Hero King has begun to feel strongly dissatisfied with Tōsaka Tokiomi and is looking for a new Master for himself."
An abstract Neo-Phyrexian creature composed entirely of cameras quickly offered its advice.
It was created temporarily to control tens of thousands of micro cameras at the same time.
Although its combat effectiveness is almost zero, it possesses extremely strong reconnaissance and intelligence gathering capabilities, which makes it an absolutely overwhelming presence in this era when mobile Internet does not yet exist.
If necessary, it can even easily take over any satellite floating in the Earth's orbit and directly change the target of the guided weapons launched.
"Can't I just summon a new Servant? I remember my father said that the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City is full of loopholes and bugs. Maybe I can try to influence it through the Shadow Magic Web."
The Dark Prince Graya obviously does not like the three heroic spirits: Diarmuid, Altria and Gilgamesh.
Because the first two are too upright and full of honor, they are definitely incompatible with his personality.
The last one is notoriously self-conscious and difficult to deal with, making him completely unsuitable as a Servant.
The New Phyrexian Creature gently shook its large camera head: “I’m sorry, Your Highness, we don’t know much about the magical technology used to create the Holy Grail.
If one wants to exploit a loophole or a bug, it would probably be difficult for anyone other than the three families that created it, namely, Tousaka, Matou, and Einzbern.
In particular, summoning new servants will inevitably consume a large amount of the magic power of the Greater Holy Grail. At the same time, Irisviel, who exists as the Lesser Holy Grail, will collapse because she cannot withstand the additional power that exceeds her own limit.
Of course, if you can accurately control the number of Heroic Spirits entering the Holy Grail, it is not impossible to try.
But I suggest you not to try this because you can't be sure what the consequences will be.
In contrast, I think it might be a better choice to directly use your power to darken an existing Servant.
For example, according to the information your father gave, Altria had a record of turning evil, and it would not conflict with your dark and void nature at all.
If she adds a little blood of the dragon god Tiamat, and the magic support provided by you and the Shadow Weave, she may be able to fight your sister head-on without losing. "
"Darkening..."
There was a strange light in Graya's eyes, and then he pursed his lips into a playful smile.
"Yes, this is indeed a good starting point. Now let me go and pay a visit to this magician killer and his android wife. Maybe they will be willing to accept the conditions I offer."
"What if they don't know what's good for them? According to the information I've collected, Emiya Kiritsugu is an out-and-out idealist.
And a madman who is willing to make decisive sacrifices for the so-called great ideals.
He will not be moved by any interests, and will never be tempted by money or beauty.
According to the great father of New Phyrexia, such people are like bricks in a cesspool, smelly and hard, but they are also convinced that they are the only right. "
As the New Phyrexian creature spoke, there was naked, undisguised contempt in his tone.
Because this type of people are logically contradictory in their thoughts and behaviors.
And they are always in a very painful mental state and cannot extricate themselves.
"Do you think I'm negotiating with them? No, I'm just telling them out of politeness. Whether they agree or not, I'll take what I want."
After saying that, the Dark Prince stood up and turned into a black shadow and disappeared without a trace.
Just a second later, he appeared directly in the Einzbern family's castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
moment!
The entire castle's early warning system was immediately activated, and the automatic firearms placed in the dark and controlled by computers immediately aimed at the intruders.
But perhaps because he discovered that the opponent was not the Master of the Holy Grail War, he did not choose to open fire and shoot him into pieces at the first time, nor did he detonate the high explosives that were enough to tear the person into pieces.
"who is he?"
Alice asked in an uncertain tone, staring at the extremely low-resolution, even blurry image on the surveillance camera.
Emiya Kiritsugu replied with a serious expression: "I don't know, I have never seen him."
Due to the lack of the Internet, he simply could not obtain a person's information in a short period of time through the developed information exchange like people after the millennium.
Therefore, as long as the stranger has not been met before and no relevant information has been collected specifically, basically you are in a state of knowing nothing.
There is no way around it. This is the inefficient information acquisition efficiency in the old media era.
Unless there is a huge intelligence system to support it, the only things you can rely on are newspapers, magazines, television, radio and hearsay.
"Do you need me to take my wife and move immediately?"
Hisau Maiya quickly pulled out a submachine gun with an astonishing magazine capacity.
"No, there is no need for that for now. Let's wait and see what he wants to do."
Emiya Kiritsugu considered for a moment and then made a quick decision.
After all, the opponent is just one person, and he is not a Master or Servant participating in this Holy Grail War. There is also a Saber on his side, so there is no need to be too panicked.
While several people upstairs were secretly preparing for battle, Graya, who was in the entrance hall on the first floor, bowed gracefully according to the etiquette of the Cormier royal family, and greeted one of the cameras that was watching him with a smile: "Hello, everyone from the Einzbern family, please forgive me for coming uninvited.
If you don't mind, could you please not point the gun at me?
First of all, this is very rude to a guest who has come from afar.
Secondly, even if you use up all your bullets, it won’t cause me any harm at all.
So I think it's best to avoid such meaningless and unpleasant behavior.
Besides, I have no ill intentions, I just want to talk to you and see if we can reach a result that satisfies both of us.”
There was no doubt that the Dark Prince's opening remarks made everyone, including Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel, look very confused.
Because since the other party clearly called out the name of "Einzbern Family", it can be judged that he should be someone from the magic world.
Especially his words and actions give people the impression that he is a young descendant trained by an ancient magician family.
But the problem is that the entire magic world is actually very small, and the information of any family member who is slightly famous is open and transparent.
They were pretty sure the Prince of Darkness wasn't any of them.
After a full half-minute of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu asked through the speaker in his emotionless, low voice: "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here at this time?"
“My name is not convenient to reveal now due to some special reasons.
But I can tell you that Caster's Master in this Holy Grail War is my sister.
My father was very unhappy about her running away from home without permission, so he sent me to teach her a lesson.
In order to achieve this goal, I also need to obtain a Servant and become a Master.
Since all seven Servants have been summoned, I can only choose one from the existing Masters to obtain the Command Seal through trading.
Of course, I am willing to provide adequate compensation in return.
Whether it is wealth, power, knowledge or strength, it is all included.
After all, the reason you participated in the Holy Grail War was to use the huge magic power in the Holy Grail to realize your inner wishes, right? Now, as long as you agree to transfer the Command Spell and give up your identity as the Master, I can help you realize it immediately."
Graya stated his purpose without any further ado.
In his opinion, he was quite sincere in not destroying the castle directly and then forcibly taking Artoria, the servant, back for transformation.
What’s more, a compensation package was provided.
"Caster's Master is your sister?"
The image of Anastasia instantly appeared in Kiritsugu Emiya's mind, as well as the aristocratic aura that emanated from head to toe. He suddenly felt that the two of them did have many similarities.
And judging from their age, they do look like a pair of siblings.
The most important thing is that he has been trying to investigate the other party's identity these days, but found that he could not find anything.
No nationality, no entry and exit records, no birth records or growth experience.
The whole person seemed to have jumped out from between the rocks.
You have to know that even the most conservative family of magicians will inevitably integrate into the secular society and leave their traces.
Unless someone deliberately erased it all.
Therefore, in Emiya Kiritsugu's opinion, the reason why he could not find any information about Anastasia must be that some powerful magic family was secretly obstructing him.
But what he didn't know was that the sister Graya was referring to here was not the last princess of the Russian royal family who was a Servant, but the little Anne who was regarded as a Caster by everyone.
But you can't blame them for this.
After all, who could have thought that this pair would be bold enough to play identity swap, and no one could have imagined that a boy who looked like a teenager would have a sister who looked much younger than him.
The whole thing was counterintuitive from the beginning.
Graya obviously would not explain to outsiders who her sister is, and responded with a smile: "Yes, that's my sister. How about it, are you willing to accept the conditions I offer?"
"No, I refuse, because you can't give me what I long to achieve."
After a brief silence, Emiya Kiritsugu firmly gave a negative answer.
Because he wants to use the power of the Holy Grail to eliminate wars and allow the world to enter a completely peaceful period, instead of the current situation where only big and powerful countries are qualified to enjoy peace, while small and poor countries will only become pawns in the game between big countries, or battlefields for mutual competition.
"oh?
What is your wish? Why don't you tell me? You should know that the essence of the Holy Grail is magic.
It has its own limit, and it is impossible to realize all wishes.
In particular, desires to change the past, present and future, as well as those involving complex causal relationships, are basically unlikely to be achieved.
Moreover, during the last fight for the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail had already been distorted and contaminated by [all the evil in this world].
The Holy Grail today is a huge evil vessel that not only cannot fulfill any wishes, but will also twist the wishes to develop in the opposite direction. "
The Dark Prince simply revealed the true nature of the Holy Grail, intending to burst the foolish and naive fantasy of the man before him.
Eliminate war?
Keep the world at peace forever?
No one in their right mind would have such thoughts.
Because war is closely tied to desire, selfishness, and conflicts of interest.
This means that if we want to completely eliminate war, we must either wipe out the entire human race from the earth, or completely change human genes so that they completely lose the animal instincts that have evolved in the process of continuous evolution, such as appetite, egoism, selfishness, greed, and the desire for survival. Even overly intense emotional fluctuations such as anger, hatred, and hostility must be eliminated.
If we really lose these, can humans still be called human beings?
I guess they will all become programmed robots.
Not to mention that such a society without competition and desire may lead to a series of problems such as technological stagnation.
The death toll from famine caused by natural population growth exceeding the carrying capacity of the land would be many orders of magnitude higher than any war could cause.
Therefore, this desire to simply eliminate war has gone in the wrong direction from the very beginning, or it can be said to be putting the cart before the horse.
As the saying goes, realism without ideals is meaningless, and idealism divorced from reality causes disaster.
Emiya Kiritsugu obviously belongs to the latter.
However, he himself obviously had not realized this yet. He frowned and asked the voice on the electronic screen: "How do you know that the Holy Grail cannot fulfill overly complicated wishes? Isn't it an omnipotent wish-granting machine?"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Prince immediately sneered contemptuously: "Haha, an omnipotent wish-granting machine? You are so naive that you actually believed the lies told by the Einzbern family."
"What's the meaning?"
Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at his wife and continued to question.
Graya explained calmly: "First, the Holy Grail is not an omnipotent wish-granting machine, or it was not created to fulfill wishes at all.
This matter can be traced back to a long, long time ago, to the legendary third magician and his disciples.
In order to reproduce the teacher's extraordinary power to materialize souls, they tried their best and spent hundreds of years to finally create a human who can perform this magic to a certain extent - [Winter Saint] Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern.
That’s right, she is the first head of the Einzbern family today, and she is also the one who sacrificed herself to become the Holy Grail.
As for the purpose, of course, it is to completely realize the materialization of the third magic soul and allow humans to obtain eternal life without aging or death.
Second, the actual wish-granting machine that the Masters fought for in the Holy Grail War was not the Greater Holy Grail that was the incarnation of the Winter Saint, but the Lesser Holy Grail that was the incarnation of your wife.
It is true that this Holy Grail does have a certain ability to fulfill people's wishes.
But the problem is that the wisher must know how to make it come true.
In other words, the Holy Grail will not fulfill an empty wish, but requires you to tell it the process of how to fulfill this wish.
If you simply tell it that you want world peace but don't provide a way to achieve it, then the Holy Grail won't know how to fulfill your wish.
Of course, the premise is that it has such ability.
Third, as I said before, the Holy Grail had been tainted in the last scramble.
And it was the Inzbern family who violated the rules and summoned special servants that polluted it.
The Holy Grail today no longer contains magic power that can fulfill wishes, but black mud that contains the most evil thoughts in the world.
All wishes will be distorted by it, until the result leads to the most terrible disaster. "
There is no doubt that the Dark Prince's words stunned everyone present.
Especially Emiya Kiritsugu, who had originally planned to do whatever it takes to bear the sin and seize the Holy Grail to realize his wish of "world peace". He felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer in the chest. He held his heart and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
Because if these are true, it means that all the desires and dreams we have always had will be completely shattered.
So after a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he suddenly raised his head and looked into Irisviel's eyes and asked, "Is all this true? Answer me!"
"No... I don't know. I've never heard the clan leader talk about it."
爱丽丝菲尔显然被丈夫那可怕的眼神,还有信念崩塌后的精神状态吓坏了。
同样被这些爆炸性消息震撼到的还有希望通过圣杯拯救自己不列颠王国的阿尔托莉雅。
如果圣杯无法实现愿望,她根本不知道自己继续在这里与其他从者战斗还有什么意义。
一时之间,整个房间内都陷入了可怕的沉默、压抑。
就在众人开始感到无比迷茫的时候,一抹阴影突然凭空出现在房间里,随后逐渐化作黑暗王子格雷亚的模样。
确切地说是经过伪装后的样子。
为了不被姐姐小安妮认出来,他在进入这个世界的时候就对自己的相貌和外形做了遮掩,看上去就如同一名十四五岁留着一头银色短发的英俊少年。
出于下意识的第一反应,阿尔托莉雅立刻挡在了爱丽丝菲尔的身前,履行着自己作为骑士的保护义务。
卫宫切嗣和久宇舞弥则不约而同举起了手中的枪。
“放松,我说过自己不是来找麻烦的,而是想要尽可能和平的解决这件事情,否则就没必要浪费那么多口舌来解释圣杯不能实现愿望的原因。”
格雷亚迅速扫过房间里的所有人,最后把目光停留在呆毛王的脸上。
“你好,阿尔托莉雅·潘德拉贡,古不列颠王国之主,被无数人称颂的骑士王。相信接下来我们之间应该会合作得很愉快。”
“你想成为我的御主?”
呆毛王用不是很确定的语气试探道。
格雷亚微笑着点了点头:“是的。因为我综合比较一下你和迪卢木多,发现还是你更优秀一些,他在攻击手段方面略显乏力,肯定不可能是我姐姐的对手。”
“不好意思,要让你失望了,我暂时还没有更换御主的打算。”
阿尔托莉雅直截了当选择了拒绝。
作为骑士的典范,忠诚可是她最具有代表性的品格之一,自然不会做那种抛弃御主的事情。
“对不起,这件事情可由不得你来做决定。”
黑暗王子直接无视了对方,盯着不远处的卫宫切嗣与爱丽丝菲尔彬彬有礼的问:“两位,你们考虑的怎么样了?”
“我们怎么知道你不是在说谎或者欺骗?”
爱丽丝菲尔抢在丈夫之前率先开口质疑道。
“很简单,我只需要在大圣杯上开一个小孔,从中取出一些被污染的黑泥。”
说着,格雷亚抬起自己的左臂释放了相应的法术。
转瞬之间!
一个通往大圣杯的微小孔隙便凭空出现,紧跟着里边黑色污泥喷涌而出落在地上、桌子上。
尽管这个过程只持续了几秒钟,但那无法用语言形容的邪恶、扭曲跟污秽还是被展示了出来。
尤其是作为小圣杯的爱丽丝菲尔,立马就感受到了另外一边大圣杯内那恐怖骇人的力量,整个人不由自主的打了个哆嗦。
“我的天呐!圣杯……圣杯怎么会变成这样!呕——”
“爱丽丝,你没事吧?”
阿尔托莉雅立刻将其搀扶住,眼神中透露出强烈的关切。
爱丽丝菲尔赶忙捂着嘴摆了摆手:“谢谢,我没事,只是被大圣杯的现状吓到了。难以置信!为什么发生这种事情家族居然一无所知?”
“圣杯真的被污染了吗?”
卫宫切嗣的声音带着一丝颤抖。
“是的,它被污染了,而且以现如今的魔术水平根本不可能净化的了。圣杯战争已经没有了进行下去的意义。”
爱丽丝菲尔毫不犹豫给出了肯定答复。
“该死!那我们现在要怎么办?退出吗?可要是现在退出爱因兹贝伦家族会放过我们吗?伊莉雅又该怎么办?”
失去理想的卫宫切嗣瞬间回归到了作为父亲和丈夫的角色中开始为家庭考虑。
“如果你们愿意退出,我倒是可以安排一个没人能找得到的地方让你们平平安安的度过余生。当然,这其中包括你们刚才提到的女儿伊莉雅。”
格雷亚果断抓住机会开出了一个令对方无法拒绝的条件。
他很清楚,作为人造人被创造出来的爱丽丝菲尔并不怕死,甚至从一开始就做好了自我牺牲的准备,为实现第三魔法而献出生命成为小圣杯。
同样的,卫宫切嗣也不怕死,甚至非常乐意以自己的生命作为交换去实现世界和平的美好愿景。
可问题是当这些不切实际的理想破碎之后,他们第一时间想到的永远都是伊莉雅这个共同的孩子。
所以黑暗王子从一开始就打算以伊莉雅作为突破口。
“如果我们走了,那圣杯战争怎么办?如果没有我的话,从者消散后的灵魂根本没有地方保管。”
爱丽丝菲尔提出了一个最关键的问题。
要知道爱因兹贝伦家族派出的人造人可是整个圣杯战争的关键。
“别担心,复制一个没有灵魂的克隆人对我来说毫无难度可言。你只需要把体内构建小圣杯的魔术回路留下即可。”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,格雷亚突然毫无征兆的抬起手直接穿过对方的小腹,紧跟着从里边取出一团像是介于物质与能量之间的东西。
更不可思议的是,爱丽丝菲尔竟然没有因此而开肠破肚,甚至光滑的小腹上连一丁点伤口和血迹都没有。
很显然,黑暗王子手中的就是传说中的小圣杯,或者说是构建小圣杯的魔术回路。
在原本的第四次圣杯战争结束后,间桐脏砚就是获得了一部分这玩意,然后将其移植到樱的体内,导致第五次圣杯战争中出现了两个小圣杯。
稍微感受了一下手中的魔术回路,黑暗王子立刻施展左思改进过的传奇克隆魔法,直接凭空制造了一个与爱丽丝菲尔一模一样没有灵魂的躯壳,当着在场每一个人的面把小圣杯的魔术回路植入进去。
最后从自己珍藏的灵魂中挑选出一个,直接清空记忆塑造一个全新的人格塞了进去。
短短几分钟的功夫,一个全新的、一丝不挂的爱丽丝菲尔复制体就这样凭空诞生了。
如此荒诞、诡异、令人毛骨悚然的画面,简直让曾经亲眼目睹自己妻子从人造人培养皿中爬出来的卫宫切嗣都感到强烈不适。
“我想现在小圣杯的问题已经解决了,不是吗?”格雷亚用一种十分轻松愉悦的语气说道。
看着与自己一般无二的复制体,爱丽丝菲尔神色顿时变得十分复杂,但最终还是微微点了下头:“是的,看来你和你的家族在人造人技术与水平方面要比爱因兹贝伦还厉害。”
“那是不是意味着我们可以开始交易了呢?”
格雷亚猛然间释放出自己体内那纯粹且令人恐惧的黑暗与虚无之力。
仅仅一瞬间!
这座城堡上空连带方圆数公里范围内都笼罩在伸手不见五指的永夜之中。
不用问也知道,他这是在发出威胁和警告。
如果同意自然怎么都好说,要是不同意接下来要上演的可就是毫不留情的杀戮了。
“我可以把令咒转移给你,但前提是必须要先看到伊莉雅。”
卫宫切嗣与妻子交换了一个眼神之后立刻提出自己的要求。
“没问题,请稍等。”
格雷亚的身体瞬间消失在黑暗之中,仅仅不到一秒钟之后就又凭空出现。
唯一的区别是他怀中多了一个身穿睡衣的白毛小萝莉。
“伊莉雅!”
身为母亲的爱丽丝菲尔第一时间冲到近前将其接过来抱在怀中。
大概三五秒钟小萝莉这才缓缓睁开惺忪的睡眼。
下一刻当她认出眼前的女人是母亲后,立刻激动的跳起来搂住后者脖子。
尤其是爱丽丝菲尔,原本出发的时候已经做好了生死两隔的心理准备,所以这次重逢自然是百感交集,眼泪止不住流了下来。
看着这幅母女重逢的感人场面,黑暗王子立刻意味深长的对卫宫切嗣说道:“我已经满足了你的要求,现在是不是可以把令咒交给我了?毕竟你应该也不会希望让女儿亲眼目睹父母惨死在自己面前,亦或是亲眼目睹女儿的惨死,不是吗?”
“你这是在威胁恐吓吗?”
卫宫切嗣的脸色微微一变。
“不,这只是善意的劝告。
毕竟只有当你遵守承诺的时候,别人才会同样遵守承诺。
如果你敢把自己做魔术师杀手不择手段那套用在我的身上,我保证你会体会到什么是真正的痛苦。
相信我,你之前感到的那点痛苦在它面前根本算不了什么。”
说罢,格雷亚主动伸出了自己的一只手,示意可以转移令咒了。
卫宫切嗣看了一眼站在远处浑身僵硬的阿尔托莉雅,又看了看自己的妻子和女儿,以及手持枪械保持警戒的助手兼情人久宇舞弥,最终发出了一声无奈的叹息。
如果换成是理想和希望还没有破灭,他或许还会犹豫一下要不要选择从者继续参加圣杯战争。
可是现在他只想要保护好身边这些最珍视的人。
So just a few minutes later, three complete Command Seals appeared on the back of the Dark Prince's hand.
Graya, who had obtained the ticket to the Holy Grail War, also returned the favor by giving a small island under his own name to the other family of three as a place to live in seclusion, and teleported them there without leaving any trace.
From then on, Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel, and Illya completely disappeared from this world.
With the completion of the transaction, the Dark Prince and Altria were the only two people left in the castle.
"I will not acknowledge you as my Master, and I will not fight for you."
After a long silence, King Daimao took the lead in expressing his attitude.
"Why? Because there is no point in fighting for the Holy Grail anymore?" Graya asked back with interest.
This time, Altria did not answer, but just stared ahead with her two emerald green eyes, as if she had crossed time and space and returned to her own era.
In her opinion, after she clearly expressed her refusal, the other party would probably become so angry that he would use the Command Spell to commit suicide.
It's a pity that all this was just her wishful thinking.
The Prince of Darkness suddenly raised his hand and released a ball of darkness and nothingness, which immediately wrapped King Arthur from head to toe and lifted him up high.
The latter's sturdy armor was corroded by this force and collapsed almost instantly. At the same time, the spirit inside began to become more and more real under the influence of darkness and nothingness.
In other words, she is regaining her body as if she had been contaminated by the black mud in the Holy Grail.
"You...what are you doing to me?!"
Altria was completely stunned by the changes happening to herself and began to twist her body frantically trying to break free.
"Relax, I am giving you more powerful strength so that you can prepare for the next battle. You should know that my sister is not an easy character to deal with. You are far from qualified with your current level."
As he spoke, Graya pinched King Sarge's chin and forced him to open his mouth, then took out a drop of blood from the dragon god Tiamat and poured it into his mouth.
“Wuwuwuwu——”
Although Altria wanted to vomit it out, it was obviously in vain.
The moment the blood of the Dragon God entered her body, it immediately resonated with her own red dragon bloodline. An indescribable violent force surged from the bottom of her heart and spread to every corner of her body in less than a second.
With the added power of the dark void from the Shadow Magic Net Fish, the Knight King began to rapidly transform into a tyrant.
The shadow magic web gradually condensed into a black translucent underwear, and the power of the Dragon God was transformed into a gorgeous armor covering the outside, which was mainly black and inlaid with a large number of red patterns on the surface.
Even the originally golden sword of victory in his hand has now turned black and red, and his eyes have vertical pupils that emit a faint light.
After a while, the violent struggle stopped.
In its place was a look of coldness, indifference, cruelty, and impassivity.
There is no doubt that the familiar King Arthur, who was serious, loyal, upright and full of honor, disappeared under the devouring of the dark power.
Today, this is a tyrant with a completely opposite personality to the former, and is also another possibility for her existence in history.
When the transformation was completed, the blackened Altria broke free of her restraints with her own strength, and jumped down from mid-air. Feeling the unprecedented abundance of magic power in her body, she stared into the eyes of the Dark Prince and asked, "Can you tell me why you are participating in the Holy Grail War, Master?"
Graya answered without hesitation: "Of course, to teach my dear sister a lesson. This is my father's wish, and it is also my own wish."
"Caster's Master is your sister?"
The darkened Altria showed a hint of interest.
"No, the girl you thought was Caster is my sister, and the one you thought was the Master is the Servant. In other words, you got the identities wrong from the beginning."
Graya revealed the answer with a smile.
Since Saber has now completely become his Servant, there is no need to keep this secret hidden any longer.
"What? You mean... Caster has exchanged identities with the Master from the very beginning!"
The darkened Altria opened her mouth in shock.
She couldn't believe that the girl who could unleash such a terrifying lightning attack was just a Master and not a Heroic Spirit.
"A clever little trick, isn't it? Don't underestimate my sister, the power she possesses is no less than mine.
Now, let's go visit Lancer and his Master.
After all, only by dealing with him can you truly exert 100% of your strength.
And I don't have much time to waste here, it's best to make a quick decision and send all those useless servants into the Holy Grail."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Graya released a cloud of black mist to cover his Servant, and then the two of them disappeared together.
