Chapter 1124: Chapter 771: This is possible?? Chapter 1124: Chapter 771: This is possible?? The petite figure stood on the hillside, watching the battle between BERSERKER and SABER below, her bright red eyes showing no surprise or unease, but thick confidence. In her view, even SABER was no match for her own BERSERKER.
At that moment, footsteps came from behind her.
Was it the foolish Magician who wanted to battle her?
Thinking this, the girl flashed a smug smile, while at the same time, a soft voice arose from behind her.
“Are you the representative of the Einzbern Family sent by Grandfather Ahad for this Holy Grail War?”
“Eh?”
Hearing this familiar voice, the girl felt as if even her blood had frozen. She stared in surprise, turning her head around like a broken Puppet, only to see Alice Phil standing there, watching her.
“…Mom?”
“Eh??”
Hearing the other party suddenly calling herself “Mom,” Alice Phil was also stunned.
“You are…?”
“Mom? Don't you recognize me?”
Looking at the puzzled expression on Alice Phil's face, the girl felt heartache. She took a step forward, staring at Alice Phil.
“It's me, Mom, I'm Ilya! Ilyasviel von Einzbern!”
“Ilyasviel…?”
Hearing this, Alice Phil looked even more bewildered. She indeed had no recollection of this name, and seeing Alice Phil's confusion, Ilya seemed to realize something, her expression suddenly becoming hostile.
“Is it Kiritsugu? Did he do this, Mom?”
“Kiritsugu…? Sorry, I don't recognize the person you are talking about… Who is Kiritsugu?”
For Alice Phil, she was utterly confused by what the girl in front of her was talking about.
At this point, Ilya seemed to understand something, and her expression rapidly turned extremely hostile.
“So it is, this is an attack on me? Whoever dares to do this to me, I will surely kill you!”
While saying this, Ilya stretched out her hand and plucked two strands of hair, which transformed into two birds in her hand and rapidly flew towards Alice Phil!
“ShapeistLeben!”
Facing the sudden attack, Alice Phil also quickly extended her hand, silver threads dancing in her palm, then transforming into an eagle that rushed toward the two birds, blocking Ilya's attack.
“Eh?”
“Eh??”
Seeing the magic used by the other party, Alice Phil and Ilya were both shocked.
“Why can you use my magic?”
“Why can you use Mom's magic?”
Indeed, the alchemy of the Einzbern Family was to give life to artificial things, but not just anyone could do this. As the strongest artificial human of the Einzbern Family, weaving magic with two short chants and manipulating metal to create artificial beings on the spot was a skill unique to Alice Phil.
Yet, the girl calling her mom could also do it?
Alice Phil was equally shocked, of course, as was Ilya. This type of magic was something only the artificial humans of the Einzbern Family could achieve, but in fact, only she and her mother could use this magic. Since the other party could also perform the same magic, it meant that the person was not an illusion, but a real artificial human from the Einzbern Family!
For a moment, both seemed to fall into a strange silence. After a little while, Alice Phil cleared her throat softly.
“Um… Ilyasviel? It seems there might be some misunderstanding between us. Could you explain who the person you know as me is?”
“The Mom I know…?”
Ilya was also hesitant as she looked at Alice Phil, not feeling any murderous intent from her, and despite everything, she still appeared to be the Mom she loved. But… it seemed she truly did not recognize her.
“I understand, I will explain…”
Soon, Ilyasviel explained her understanding of Alice Phil, and Alice Phil frowned.
“Because I was not up to the task, the Einzbern Family hired a Magician killer named Kiritsugu to marry me and then we had you, and then I and Kiritsugu summoned SABER to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and then never returned?”
“Yes, Grandfather said Kiritsugu betrayed the Einzbern, abandoned me…!”
Saying this, Ilya also radiated a hint of anger and murderous intent. She would not blame Alice Phil, for as a Master of the Einzbern, Ilyasviel knew whether the Holy Grail War was won or lost, her mother would not return.
“Even though that's said, Ilyasviel… my experience wasn't like that. Because I was the one who summoned SABER in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and we went together. There was an accident, and that's what led to the current situation. So… sorry, I have no memories of having a child, nor do I know any Kiritsugu.”
“Then, do you have any evidence to prove it?”
“Evidence?”
“Yes!”
Ilyasviel stared at Alice Phil.
“If I remember correctly, at that time, Mother and Kiritsugu had separated, and it was actually Kiritsugu who truly summoned SABER. Mother was just a decoy to make others believe that she was the Master of SABER. And if Mother really said she summoned SABER herself, then there should be a Command Spell on the back of her hand!”
Saying this, Ilyasviel's gaze also wavered; she still believed that the person before her was indeed her mother. Only, due to some reasons, she might have lost her memory or had false memories implanted. If that was the case, then perhaps…
However, Alice Phil's reaction delivered the final blow to Ilyasviel.
“The Command Spell is right here.”
As she spoke, Alice Phil took off her glove and showed her Command Spell to Ilyasviel–even though SABER had disappeared after the Holy Grail War ended. Technically, Alice Phil and Medea could also summon Heroic Spirits.
After all, the Holy Grail War involved magicians summoning Heroic Spirits to fight as their Servants.
So, as magicians, it was quite normal for CASTERS like Alice Phil and Medea to summon Servants, wasn't it?
However, for Ilyasviel, the Command Spell that appeared on Alice Phil's hand struck her like a bolt from the blue.
“No… How is this possible…”
The girl widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the Command Spell on the back of Alice Phil's hand and shaking her head as she stepped back.
“No, how can this be, why has it turned out this way…”
“Actually, Ilyasviel, I want to say…”
Watching the shocked and unsettled Ilyasviel, Alice Phil wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Ilyasviel abruptly waved her hand.
“Berserker!”
The next moment, hearing Ilyasviel's call, BERSERKER immediately interrupted its fight with SABER, leaped forward, and came to Ilyasviel's side.
“Let's go, BERSERKER.”
“Whoo…!”
Hearing Ilyasviel's command, BERSERKER picked up Ilyasviel's petite body and disappeared into the depths of the forest within moments.
Alice Phil stared dumbfoundedly at Ilyasviel's retreating figure, at a loss for words for the moment.
“Well, I never expected something like this to happen.”
Then, Duanmu Huai and Medea also stepped forward, both equally flabbergasted.
Although Doctor Roman had informed Duanmu Huai and the others before arriving at this Singularity that it might be mixed with futures from other timelines–after all, the Holy Grail from the fourth war had been dismantled, making the Holy Grail from the fifth war necessarily from another timeline.
However… this was still beyond Duanmu Huai's expectations.
“Is that the daughter of another timeline's you?”
“It seems so, yes…”
Alice Phil's emotions were complicated, given that a daughter had suddenly appeared out of nowhere… and it indeed seemed like she was the mother.
Although not this her.
“So, in that timeline you married a man named Kiritsugu, and then you had a daughter, wow, that is really messed up.”
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes too; he was somewhat speechless.
If Alice Phil is someone else's wife, then am I the guy next door?
No, in this timeline Alice Phil is my woman, so does that mean I got cuckolded?
Who cuckolded me?
And whom did I cuckold?
Just who cuckolded whom?
This is really a question…
“Never thought such a thing would happen, thankfully, I should not run into this…”
Medea also couldn't help but sigh, empathizing from a woman's perspective with Alice Phil, contemplating whether or not to acknowledge this daughter, even thinking about it gave her a headache.
Thankfully, as an ancient Heroic Spirit, she didn't have to worry about encountering such situations.
Yes, in this moment, Medea felt quite stable.
Big Band-Aid, big cute doting woman.
Duanmu Huai glanced at the battle situation below, noticing that since Ilyasviel left with BERSERKER, SABER also withdrew from the battlefield, and Sakura, sensing the threat, also swiftly fled–she could fight her sister to a draw, but she wasn't foolish enough to think she could compete with SABER.
So far, the problems of this world seemed worse than the fourth Holy Grail War, but Duanmu Huai could guess that this world was the source of Singularity F.
The reason was simple, the Heroic Spirits in this world matched up to now!
Previously, during the fourth Holy Grail War, aside from one SABER who could be matched with the Heroic Spirit he and Mash had met in Singularity F, the other Heroic Spirits didn't match up. LANCER wasn't that woman with the purple long hair but a man in green tights, and BERSERKER wasn't the muscular strongman Duanmu fought in Singularity F but a dark-skinned knight.
However, at least for now in this Holy Grail War, SABER, ARCHER, and BERSERKER all matched up–yes, Duanmu Huai had also seen Rin Tohsaka's ARCHER, the white-haired dark-skinned man who had ambushed him in Singularity F.
So, for the moment, it seemed the fifth Holy Grail War, not the fourth, was the source of Singularity F…
As to what specifically to do about it… we'll see.
