Chapter 1130: Chapter 775: The Winter Forest Chapter 1130: Chapter 775: The Winter Forest Night had fallen.
The entirety of Fuyuki City was deathly silent, as if a curfew had been imposed. From time to time, one could see patrol cars whizzing by, but apart from that, this city, which was already scarcely populated, now seemed even more desolate.
And Duanmu Huai was also in the midst of a meeting with everyone to discuss the current situation.
“From what we see now, this Holy Grail War should be Singularity F, but there has been a problem.”
Duanmu Huai knocked on the table.
“A problem?”
“Yes, I finally understand why we went to the Fourth Holy Grail War before. From a certain perspective, it's clear that the Fourth Holy Grail War should be connected to this one. In other words, some sort of impact from the Fourth War caused the Fifth War to begin.”
Duanmu Huai spread his hands, and Medea nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, if we look at it from this angle, we changed the course of the Fourth Holy Grail War, so it made an impact on the original Fifth Holy Grail War… For instance, Sakura–if we hadn't rescued Sakura, she should still be with the Matou family.”
“But now the Matou family has disappeared.”
Alice Phil spoke up.
“I checked before; the Matou's land has already been sold to someone else. According to the information I gathered, the Matou family left Fuyuki City after the Fourth Holy Grail War ended.”
“However, the timeline has chosen to repair itself, much like the original Holy Grail which had been dismantled.”
Mash furrowed her brows, looking at Duanmu Huai.
“MASTER, is it still impossible to enter the Great Void?”
“The other side has pulled the Holy Grail from another timeline; there's nothing I can do. This isn't my area of expertise.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. If he was a being like Yog Sothoth or the Lord of Tindalos who could manipulate time, maybe he would have had a solution. However, there was nothing related to time within Duanmu Huai's divine positions. He could certainly use the power of the God of Destruction to demolish that space, but who knew if that would cause irreversible damage to this Singularity.
The repair of the timeline was a major issue because it didn't always follow logic. Just like what Duanmu Huai said, according to the development of history, as long as Chaldea is established in the end, it doesn't matter if it was built by Animusphere or El-Melloi–it's a minor detail. So it was with the Holy Grail War; clearly, by this means of repair, the timeline was trying to make this Holy Grail War “conform to historical records.” As long as the final outcome was consistent, then the details in between were all minor.
However, for Duanmu Huai and the others, these “minor details” were precisely what gave them a headache. Since they didn't know what the original outcome of the Fifth Holy Grail War was in history, although Singularity F had already indicated that the war led to the destruction of human history and turned Heroic Spirits like SABER and BERSERKER into darkened entities, the specifics of how it evolved into that situation were unknown.
And the CASTER they met in Singularity F has now become LANCER…
Was this distortion from the past? Or a correction from the future?
Honestly, that was indeed a problem.
As for the actions of the other Masters, SABER's Master and ARCHER's Master seemed to have joined forces and were investigating the disappearances. This was normal, after all, this land was nominally owned by the Tohsaka family, and Rin Tohsaka naturally had a responsibility to thoroughly investigate the matter. How she managed to get SABER's Master on board, nobody knew.
But since they were willing to investigate, for Duanmu Huai that was naturally a good thing. He had Medea send out Familiars to follow them– perhaps if those two stumbled upon some clue, it would be good news, wouldn't it?
“So, what's next…”
Just as Duanmu Huai was about to formulate the next battle plan, he saw Alice Phil suddenly tremble and stand up.
“What's wrong?”
“MASTER, that child… Ilya, she's in danger!”
“Ilya?”
Hearing this name, Duanmu Huai recalled for a moment.
“The daughter of another timeline's you?”
“Yes… She's now up against a formidable enemy, and even BERSERKER is no match for the opponent…”
Alice Phil looked at Duanmu Huai with a complicated expression as she spoke, and although she knew that her request might be somewhat excessive, she… didn't want to see Ilya get killed just like that.
“Who is she fighting?”
“It's the ARCHER from the Tohsaka family.”
“The Tohsakas? Isn't that guy investigating the city region?”
“It's not him.”
Alice Phil shook her head.
“It's the one summoned by the Tohsaka family during the Fourth Holy Grail War…”
“That bastard didn't die off completely?”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately remembered the Blondie monster he had fought against before. He was quite sure he had torn off the guy's head and smashed it to bits; how in the hell could he be alive?
Or did the timeline's correction summon another Blondie from a different timeline?
Never mind, it doesn't matter.
“Let's go!”
Duanmu Huai also stood up at this moment, making a decisive decision.
No matter which timeline's bastard it was, he would kill him every time he saw him!
Inside the Einzbern Castle, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
A massive, dark figure charged forward fearlessly, standing in front of the trembling girl in terror and launching a berserk assault on the enemy in front of it.
