Chapter 832: Night City: You Really Think I'm a Cao Thief!
Chapter 832: Night City: You Really Think I'm a Cao Thief!
"Saber, where's Kiritsugu? If even you were captured by Night City, then what about Kiritsugu...?"
Upon realizing that the situation wasn't as dire as she had imagined, Alicefeel hurriedly inquired about Kiritsugu Emiya's whereabouts.
However, Saber, who had never held a shred of goodwill towards Kiritsugu, spoke bluntly, "He's fine. While we were still engaged in battle, he found an opportunity to escape on his own.
You know how he always puts himself in the safest position, so you shouldn't worry about him at all."
Saber couldn't bring herself to like a man who used his wife as bait. In her eyes, he was a man devoid of responsibility and accountability.
Sacrificing his family and the one who loved him deeply for his dreams? Such nonsense was unacceptable. "Alicefeel, you've been reborn now. Why not sever all ties with Kiritsugu Emiya? He's not worthy of your lifelong trust.
In fact, I think Night City is a better match for you than Kiritsugu..."
Before Saber could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a surge of intense murderous intent behind her. A figure then appeared, declaring, "There is no 'if'! We will save this Artificial Person solely because of the Lesser Holy Grail within her.
Now that she's useless, we'll spare her life as a reward for contributing the Lesser Holy Grail.
If she dares to ask for more, I won't hesitate to dispose of her right here and now!"
Medea's words were filled with murderous intent, making it clear she wasn't joking.
Despite Medea's threat, Alicefeel was afraid, but at this moment, she wasn't planning to back down.
To be precise, she didn't want to leave the Einzbern Mansion just yet. She needed to understand the grudge between Night City and Kiritsugu Emiya and pray that Night City would spare Kiritsugu.
As for Saber, she believed that as a past Heroic Spirit, Medea couldn't possibly be with Night City. Instead, Night City and Alicefeel, existing in the same era, were a perfect match.
Regarding Kiritsugu Emiya... sorry, but in Saber's eyes, he was scum. One man, Kiritsugu, used his wife as bait, while the other, Night City, tried to save Alicefeel after realizing her predicament.
Saber saw Alicefeel as a Queen Guinevere-like figure, and she wouldn't stand by and watch Alicefeel jump into a pit of fire.
For Kiritsugu, saving the world was far more important than his daughter and wife. Why couldn't his wish for the Holy Grail be to save Alicefeel instead of world peace?
Kiritsugu's feelings for Alicefeel were genuine, but they weren't profound.
Initially, a significant reason for Kiritsugu's marriage to Alicefeel was her connection to the Einzburn family.
If we're talking about emotions, his assistant, Maiya, might have even deeper feelings for him.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama. While Alicefeel was in her pajamas, Saber in her wedding dress, and Medea in nothing but her spirit form, the three of them argued incessantly. Meanwhile, Night City, who was studying the Lesser Holy Grail and contemplating the Third Law, had veins popping out on his forehead.
"If you want to argue, can you please do it outside? This is my research area."
And I can tell you clearly, the Holy Grail has long been contaminated. The current Holy Grail no longer possesses the ability to grant wishes.
Whether it's obtaining a physical body or world peace, your wishes were never meant to be fulfilled."
With Yecheng's words, the once bustling underground laboratory, bustling like a marketplace, fell into an instant silence.

Medea: (Д)」
Saber: (_;
Undoubtedly, upon hearing Yecheng's words, the three present displayed distinct expressions.
C
She had never held much desire for the Holy Grail, and if she had a wish, it was merely for Shirou to fulfill his dreams.
"Yecheng, what do you mean? Are you saying the Holy Grail War was a scam from the very beginning?"
If the Holy Grail couldn't grant wishes, why were they here at all! Previously, Medea hadn't been overly eager or passionate about her wish, but now, she was undoubtedly one of the most desperate for the Holy Grail.
"It's not exactly a scam, but the current Holy Grail is no longer the original. It was already polluted during the Third Holy Grail War.
The Einzbern family summoned the supersized being, Avenger, of the irregular class Avenger. Unexpectedly weak, Avenger was quickly defeated, and its soul was absorbed by the Greater Holy Grail.
The colorless power of the Greater Holy Grail was polluted and turned into black mud by Avenger, formed from evil wishes.
While accumulating mana, the Greater Holy Grail has also been storing the negative and evil thoughts of this world over the years, the so-called 'Evil of This World'—the black mud.
Once the Holy Grail is summoned, the accumulated 'Evil of This World' will descend upon the world as well. I believe you should be well aware of what would happen then?"
Hearing Yecheng's explanation, Saber and the others were stunned. They never imagined that such a thing had happened to the Holy Grail.
"In other words, the Holy Grail still has the ability to grant wishes, but when the Greater Holy Grail descends, the 'Evil of This World' will accompany it?"
Medea also grasped the key point from Yecheng's words and spoke again for confirmation.
"No, didn't you hear what Yecheng said? The 'Evil of This World' gathers the malice of the entire world. If the Holy Grail descends in this world, won't that black mud erode everything?"
Saber wanted to fulfill her wish, but if the Holy Grail's descent required countless deaths, she couldn't help but feel reluctant.
After all, she was a knight who upheld the spirit of knighthood, not an executioner. She couldn't bring herself to satisfy her desires at the cost of countless innocent lives.
"Ridiculous, this world has always been about the survival of the fittest. Where is the innocence or guilt? Weakness is a sin in itself.
Were there not many witches burned at the stake during the Middle Ages? Most of them were merely innocent village women in your eyes.
Regardless, I, Medea, am determined to obtain the Holy Grail's wish, and as for how many will die, what does that have to do with me?"
Medea's statement remained true to her witch persona. However, from another perspective, her words seemed to hold some truth...
