Chapter 1093: Chapter 751: Dismantling the Holy Grail Chapter 1093: Chapter 751: Dismantling the Holy Grail After that, Duanmu Huai took Alice Phil to the location of the Great Holy Grail. Along the way, he clarified the origin of himself and his companions.
“So it turns out… you are from the future… Although it sounds preposterous, surprisingly, I can accept it.”
Had it been before, neither Alice Phil nor SABER would have believed Duanmu Huai's words. But after witnessing the gigantic Star Battleship created by Duanmu Huai with their own eyes, they had no choice but to believe.
After all, it wasn't something modern humans could create.
“So you mean to say, because of the Holy Grail War… it led to the future destruction of humanity?”
Alice Phil just couldn't wrap her head around it.
“How is that possible…”
“If you don't know, then what are you afraid of?”
Duanmu Huai looked at Alice Phil helplessly. He remembered when he first mentioned the Holy Grail to Alice Phil, she seemed extremely anxious and uneasy. At that time, he even thought Alice Phil had tampered with the Great Holy Grail in an attempt to bring about human extinction.
“Uh…”
In the face of Duanmu Huai's ridicule, Alice Phil felt somewhat awkward. She glanced at SABER and then let out a resigned sigh.
“There's no need to keep it secret anymore. Actually, I am an artificial human from the Einzbern Family…”
According to Alice Phil's explanation, during the third Holy Grail War, because of the conflict between the two sides fighting for the Grail, the container prepared for the descent of the Holy Grail was directly destroyed, causing the Holy Grail to be ruined before it even descended. In light of this, the Einzbern Family, reflecting deeply on their pain, chose during the fourth Holy Grail War to craft the container into a humanoid form with its own consciousness–namely, Alice Phil.
Also, because Alice Phil was the most outstanding artificial human created by that generation of the Einzbern Family, she became SABER's Master and joined her in the Holy Grail War.
When Duanmu Huai had asked Alice Phil about the Holy Grail, her panic was because she thought Duanmu Huai knew she was the vessel for the descent of the Holy Grail and wanted to take her away–after all, in the Holy Grail War, the “Holy Grail” is the most important element. If Duanmu Huai knew Alice Phil was the vessel for the Holy Grail and took her as a hostage, that would be a different matter altogether.
As a result, both parties were talking at cross-purposes, completely misunderstanding the situation.
Duanmu Huai had no idea about any vessel for the Holy Grail, but because Alice Phil harbored this secret, her first reaction when Duanmu Huai inquired was that her secret was exposed, hence the anxiety.
Consequently, what Alice Phil did was interpreted by Duanmu Huai in a different light… Now that things were clear after the explanation, both were at a loss for words.
What kind of situation was this?
During their conversation, the group once again arrived at the enormous cave. Upon seeing the Great Holy Grail in front of them, both Alice Phil's and SABER's expressions changed.
“How can it be…”
“This aura filled with disaster… Is this the Holy Grail we have been pursuing?”
Not only was Alice Phil astonished, but SABER was also frowning deeply. As she had said, the malevolent aura inside the Great Holy Grail nearly seemed to solidify and overflow. Although SABER didn't quite understand how the Holy Grail worked, she was certain that this was definitely not what she had hoped to pursue.
“Indeed, it is truly regrettable. This is far removed from the Holy Grail we longed for…”
Alice Phil also nodded in agreement. As the vessel for the Holy Grail, she understood the abnormal state of the Holy Grail in front of her better than anyone else.
“To be honest, you're all too carefree, never coming to see for yourselves. If you had checked the state of the Great Holy Grail before the Holy Grail War began, it wouldn't have ended up like this.”
Duanmu Huai truly couldn't comprehend it. Before the competition starts, everyone usually checks if the equipment is in good condition. But you all didn't even take a look and jumped right in? It's like realizing that the brakes are broken only in the final lap of a car race – utterly speechless.
“…I am truly sorry.”
Faced with Duanmu Huai's criticism, all Alice Phil could do was apologize, as it was indeed too outrageous.
“But on that note, can this thing really be destroyed so easily?”
SABER was frowning deeply, looking at the Great Holy Grail before her.
“Such a terrifying aura, I dare not imagine what would happen if it were broken…”
“You don't have to worry about that.”
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.
“Did you forget that my Servant is CASTER?”
“Ah.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Alice Phil and SABER suddenly realized — indeed, if it were a modern magician, they might be at a loss with this situation. But CASTER was a magician from the Age of Gods of myth and legend; her strength was worlds apart from the third-rate magicians of today. It was like getting a math professor to solve a calculus problem; given the right question, she could find the answer.
Previously, CASTER had not taken action because she was not familiar with how the Einzbern Family had created the Great Holy Grail. Even though Medea could create a Holy Grail with just the right conditions, she didn't know what steps the Einzbern Family had come up with for its creation, so she did not dare to interfere casually.
