Izawa Sugi has no interest in androids.

He himself entered the realm of the six realms and achieved everything by learning to create life.

Now, Izawa Sugi can not only make creatures like the Tailed Beast with his own hands, but with the advancement of technology, he can also make artificial terminals for various purposes, such as the androids that can control the holy spears during sacrifices.

What aroused Izawa Sugi's interest in research was Illya's condition and the Holy Grail in her body.

Using the Transparent Realm and Fairy Eyes at close range, in Izawa Sugi's eyes, Illya was like a Holy Grail Elf, and even a bit like Artoria Caster.

Artoria Caster is a device from Paradise that collects and forges holy swords, and Illya is a holy grail device that collects the magic of heroic spirits.

"I heard that if beings like you have the same thing as fuel, then after extracting the contents of the cup, there will be remnants of consciousness left, but that method..."

Izawa Sugi had already left by then, and had no idea how the Furnace of the Universe worked, nor did he know how it extracted materials, or how it naturally eliminated the remaining residues without harming Artoria's personal feelings, allowing her to maintain her self.

"It might be too advanced for me. How do you do it?"

Izawa Sugi looked at the vigilant Illya and smiled: "We can exchange some techniques."

Arthur didn't understand what Izawa Sugi was saying. Illya was confused at first, but she soon understood what scumbag meant.

She opened her mouth and said incredulously, "You mean, after I take it out, can I still exist as an individual?"

Izawa Sugi was also stunned: "Ah, haven't you ever thought about..." After a pause, he sighed and said: "That's right, there is a difference between modern magicians and those in the Age of Gods."

Since the other party's technical level is not enough, forget it.

Izawa Shan ignored the point of the collection device and looked at Illya again: "Your body and technique have been adjusted to the state of the Holy Grail, but in the deeper level of the technique, it is a bit like making the invisible thing tangible. You have actually stepped half a step into the state of the universe. What is that?"

Illya was startled.

She looked at King Uther in front of her, and when she met his golden-green eyes, she felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head, soaking her from the inside out.

Totally seen through.

Illya pursed her lips, glanced at Arthur, and said softly, "The long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family is to realize the materialization of the First Law Soul."

Izawa Sugi murmured, "Soul materialization? So that's how it is. The intangible becomes tangible. You are indeed stepping into the realm of God."

Now it was Izawa Sugi's turn to be shocked.

"Wait, you want to spread the soul materialization technique to others by engraving it on your body and collecting endless magic power through the Holy Grail ritual?"

Seeing that Izawa Sugi had guessed it, Illya could only say, "...Yes, after the soul is materialized, humans will become immortal, and this will achieve salvation for all of humanity."

Izawa Sugi: “…”

Arthur: “…”

Arthur glanced at Illya hesitantly and said softly, "Miss Illya, I don't think this is appropriate."

Izawa Sugi also nodded: "Yes, there are still people who want to die."

Illya puffed up her cheeks and said viciously: "We are all enemies anyway, and the Holy Grail will belong to our Einzbern family!"

Izawa Sugira looked at Illya with interest: "Then what are you doing here?"

Illya snorted and stood up to leave: "I just want to make sure whether you can form an alliance!"

After taking a step, the girl was somewhat unwilling to give up. She turned back to look at Ize Shan and said, "Just now you said scum. Have you ever seen scum left?"

"I have seen her." Izawa Shan said calmly, "She is a very lovely girl. After completing her mission, she finally has her own time and future."

Illya's body stiffened slightly, and a deep sense of envy rose in her heart.

"Your body will only last a year at most before it breaks down." Izawa Sugi said calmly, "The same is true of your maids. They are all short-term models and consumables. It seems that the people who created you didn't intend to let you live at all."

Arthur looked a little unhappy.

"...We were born to fulfill Einzbern's long-cherished wish."

Illya turned her back to Izawa Sugi and Arthur, her body trembling slightly.

"As long as we can accomplish the first law, it doesn't matter even if we die or if it's not us who accomplishes it."

“I don’t agree!!”

Emiya Shirou staggered out, holding onto the wall.

After being wounded by Oberon, although his body healed spontaneously, he still fainted. Arthur placed Shirou Emiya in the inner bedroom to rest.

When Shirou Emiya woke up and walked out of the room, he happened to hear Illya and Izawa Sugi talking, and he subconsciously retorted.

Izawa Sugi saw what Shirou Emiya was thinking, and then looked at Arthur, whose expression had eased a little, and asked curiously, "You don't agree, but what can you do?"

Illya also looked at Emiya Shirou subconsciously.

The boy was a little embarrassed, but he still said firmly: "I don't know. Although I don't understand what you are talking about, as long as I get the Holy Grail, I can make a wish to change all this, right?"

Izawa Sugi shook his head: "Illya is the Holy Grail. The prerequisite for you to obtain the Holy Grail is her demise."

Shirou Emiya insisted, "Then let the Holy Grail perish and let Illya return."

Illya's eyes widened.

She asked with a trembling voice: "...It has nothing to do with you, Shirou? And I killed you before."

Shirou Emiya actually replied: "This has nothing to do with you, Illya. I just want to save others, and I saw you, even if it's just one person, I want to do my best."

Why did Kiritsugu Emiya save him from the fire? Why did he hold his hand, smile happily, and cry, saying, "Luckily I saved one person"?

——Kiritsugu is so happy, so if I do the same as him, I will be happy too, right?

When he was young, Shirou Emiya thought so, so he told Kiritsugu Emiya that he also wanted to be a messenger of justice.

Gradually, as he grew older, Shirou Emiya would occasionally dream about the disaster. In the endless sea of ​​fire and hell, many people tried to stop him, hoping to get his help.

But Shirou Emiya, who was only six or seven years old at the time, covered his ears and dodged in fear and cowardice. He ran away from those people.

So Shirou Emiya thought, those people died, and he survived, so his life was no longer his own, but the responsibility of those he had abandoned. He had to work harder to stay alive and help and save more people.

Otherwise, why did I survive?

Izawa Sugi saw these thoughts and wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

He has seen too many people like this, especially when their partners died but they survived, they would naturally think, "I must do something to change this situation."

But Ize Shan was a little happy.

Although humans always do repetitive things, in the process of repeating stupidity, some people continue to shine with the same brilliance.

The desire to change is itself one of the original driving forces behind hope.

Izawa Sugi looked at the shaken Illya and decided to give her a push.

He said, "Illya, can we talk alone?"

Illya suddenly came back to her senses. She avoided Emiya Shirou's gaze and said quickly, "Okay."

Ize Shan looked at Arthur.

Arthur frowned and looked at Emiya Shirou.

Although Shirou Emiya did not know Izawa Sugi, he tried to ask, "Is it convenient for me to listen?"

Ize Shan: “You don’t understand again.”

Illya also returned to normal. She smiled and said, "Shirou, please step aside for a moment. I want to talk to you later."

"Oh, that's good. I also want to ask about Kiritsugu. By the way, how is Kiritsugu?"

Shirou Emiya suddenly remembered the scene he saw before he was seriously injured, and asked hurriedly.

Arthur looked at Ize Shan subconsciously. He was killed by King Uther.

Izawa Sugi said calmly: "Then you should ask Illya. Illya brought that Servant here. Okay, you can talk about it later."

His unquestionable attitude and aura made Shirou Emiya leave obediently. Seeing this, Arthur sighed and went to find Shirou Emiya.

After the two of them left, Izawa Sugi looked at Illya and smiled.

"I want information on the Greater Holy Grail ritual."

Illya became alert: "...What do you want this for? With your power as a magician of the Age of Gods, do you still lack this?"

"Indeed, it is not difficult to make the Holy Grail." Izawa Shan sighed, "The Holy Grail is essentially a powerful source of magic power. To put it simply, the Holy Grail is a crystallization of power. Anyone can make it, but a Holy Grail that has vitality and can continuously generate magic power is a miracle object, a treasure that ordinary people cannot obtain."

Einzbern ingeniously endowed the Holy Grail with life, and after two hundred years and five ritual infusions, he successfully created a magical item that can fulfill most wishes.

What Izawa Sugi wants is a technique that combines the two.

Izawa Sugi can rub the tailed beast with his hands and condense the power into crystals. As long as he is given enough time, he can make a similar treasure.

Izawa Sugi said something that made Illya's face change drastically.

"To me, the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is useless, not because the Holy Grail is bad, but because I already have one."

Illya was silent for a few seconds before she said, "If that's the case, why are you still staying in the ceremony?"

Izawa Sugi: "My brother wants the Holy Grail, not for its wish-granting power, but simply for the source of magic power. After all, as an anchor for my coming, he needs enormous power."

Illya's expression was a little subtle.

Others try to grab the Holy Grail to fulfill their wishes, but it turns out these two red dragons and white dragons just want the source of magic power!

Izawa Shan blinked, "You have also seen Arthur's holy sword. If I don't help my brother, there is a high possibility that he will lose, so I need to prepare a plan to make the Holy Grail in advance."

It is not an ordinary magic crystal, but a living treasure that can spontaneously and continuously condense magic power.

"Since you have the Holy Grail, why don't you give him yours?"

"Because the Holy Grail in my hand has a limited scope of use."

Izawa Sugi explained patiently.

"I think, among the legends about the Holy Grail circulating in the world today, the most famous Holy Grail is the one filled with red wine during the Last Supper, right? But before that, the cup was used to hold the blood of the Lord."

"Blood is life. In other words, it is a treasure that possesses the Lord's vitality."

"There is another Holy Grail, the one I have in my hand."

Izawa Sugi's expression was serious and solemn.

"In ancient times, our ancestors fished in the river, built houses with wood, and obtained everything they needed from the earth."

"Our ancestors observed the stars and nature, and believed that humans and nature were one. The ether in the air at that time was very dense. Even humans who did not know magic at all had magic power and vitality in their bodies. Otherwise, there would not be so many legends about hunting monsters and mythical beasts passed down."

"In those barbaric years, a group of ancestors gathered together and built their own city under the leadership of their king. They created their own civilization. They had the belief that they could definitely defeat the gods and firmly believed in hope."

"And the king who was entrusted with everything used this great idea of ​​farewell to the gods as the raw material, and combined the last and first power of the fire of mankind at that time to form the Holy Grail. It is a miracle that cannot be replicated."

"As long as human hope lasts, the power of the Holy Grail will continue."

Ize Shan tilted his head slightly, as if recalling those beautiful memories.

"The lowly King Vortigern, who exists to hate humanity and destroy the world, cannot use such a Holy Grail, let alone recognize it."

After hearing this, Illya asked subconsciously: "Is it Camelot?"

Ize Shan shook his head: "Camelot is Arthur's royal city. Although I left my mark there, the city is famous because of Arthur."

To be honest, Ize Shan admired and identified with Gilgamesh, but Gilgamesh's tyrannical behavior was really annoying. Just think about the group of children in the church.

Izawa Shan simply skipped this point and continued, "I can give you a cyborg adjustment plan. It is not just to prolong your functional action time, but to allow you to grow, develop, and age naturally like humans. How about it? Do you want to exchange?"

He said, "Anyway, my brother and I are here with Arthur in this Holy Grail War. You Einzbern will definitely fail. You might as well do something good for yourself."

Illya: “…”
