Chapter 1094: 751 Chapter 1094: 751 If you go about solving problems with the same intensity as you would the Goldbach Conjecture, only to find out it was merely simple elementary mathematics, you'd be barking up the wrong tree.
Alice Phil and Medea stepped aside for a discussion, and Medea, living up to expectations, indeed came up with a solution.
“Disassemble the Holy Grail?”
“Yes, MASTER.”
According to Medea, she had learned from Alice Phil about the origins of the Holy Grail–it had been formed when an ancestor of the Einzbern Family, Justeaze, willingly sacrificed herself to become the system of the Holy Grail, and now, the current corruption within the Holy Grail was most likely due to what happened during the Third Holy Grail War, and the Einzbern Family was to be blamed for this.
During the Third War, the Einzbern Family was the first to be eliminated, after which they attempted to cheat by summoning an eighth Servant, known as Angra Mainyu, the embodiment of all the world's evil.
At the time, the Einzbern Family was quite proud of their feat. After all, the embodiment of all the world's evil must be incredibly powerful.
However, to their disappointment, the summoned individual was just an ordinary person with a stereotypical teenage fantasy, so weak that even street police could overpower him. The summoned individual did not last even a day before being sent back.
Having cheated and still lost, the Einzbern Family had no choice but to return home in disgrace.
Although it seemed that no problem had arisen at the time, considering the current state of the Holy Grail, the only logical reason for the corruption had to be related to Angra Mainyu.
Medea's solution to the problem was straightforward–she planned to channel all the magic power of the Heroic Spirits that had been collected as the Grail's vessel inside Alice Phil's body into the Holy Grail's side tainted by the evils of this world. The adversary apparently had a clear personality and thoughts by now, and with enough magic power, they could be helped to take physical form.
To put it simply, this was like summoning a Heroic Spirit with the Holy Grail all over again, but this time the summoning was not just any simple summoning. The Holy Grail's corrupt magic power stemmed from the evil of this world, and by allowing the evil of this world to solidify into a physical form, the corrupt magic power polluting the Holy Grail would also be reabsorbed into the evil entity.
Meanwhile, Alice Phil could seize the opportunity to reclaim the true control system of the Holy Grail, to realize the Heavenly Cup. After all, she was a clone of Justeaze and could easily harmonize with her in both magic power and physical form. However, due to insufficient magic power, Alice Phil wouldn't be able to achieve the true Third Magic, merely retrieving the system of the Holy Grail.
By the way, Duanmu Huai had already informed Alice Phil about the dangers of the Root and Subspace, strongly cautioning her never to open the gates to Subspace. After all, if nothing happened, then so be it, but if you accidentally summon an Evil God or a Great Demon, then we'd all be done for!
“So be it, let's decide on this.”
Upon hearing Medea's solution, Duanmu Huai immediately made a decision and turned to Alice Phil.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, I am ready.”
In response to Duanmu Huai's questioning, Alice Phil was somewhat nervous, but she still nodded firmly. A crucial part of the entire disassembly process was that Alice Phil, as the vessel of the Grail–the Lesser Grail, must be operating at full capacity, taking the place of the Holy Grail System to transfer magic power to the evil of this world, forcing physical manifestation.
However, this was no easy task for Alice Phil. Being the Lesser Grail herself meant that once the Lesser Grail began to operate, Alice Phil would start to disintegrate.
The problem was, once Alice Phil disintegrated, it would be the same as losing self-consciousness. But without self-consciousness, one cannot forcibly cause the evil of this world to manifest.
Fortunately, Medea suggested a method.
That was, while Alice Phil reclaimed the system of the Great Grail, to use the Holy Grail System to transform her into a Servant.
The reason was quite simple. Medea was a CASTER summoned from Chaldea, so technically, no CASTER had yet surfaced in this Holy Grail War. Alice Phil could then use this rule of the Holy Grail War to transform herself into a Servant of the CASTER class, which would allow her to retain her sanity and, in turn, control the Holy Grail System.
Since Alice Phil was not a human, but an Artificial Human who was a vessel for the Holy Grail, it would, relatively speaking, be easier. This was similar to the time when Mash formed a contract with a certain Heroic Spirit to become a Servant, except for Alice Phil needing to absorb the power of Justeaze to achieve this.
Of course, this sort of thing would be impossible for modern magicians, but not for Medea, an exemplary Magician of the Age of Gods.
After all, she had learned magic from a goddess, quite different from contemporary third-rate magicians. Given that she could even create a Holy Grail System from scratch, understanding the principles of this Holy Grail System would make unraveling it no more troublesome than simple arithmetic.
“I'm sorry, SABER.”
Having prepared herself, Alice Phil turned to SABER.
“I couldn't let you win, nor could I grant you the Holy Grail to fulfill your wishes.”
“It's all right, Alice Phil.”
SABER shook his head.
“If it's for the sake of this world, I'm willing to put my desires aside for now.”
“Then, let's begin.”
Medea raised her magic wand, and the next moment, a shining light emerged from it.
