Chapter 833: Purify or Destroy the Holy Grail!
Chapter 833: Purify or Destroy the Holy Grail!
"A witch is a witch, willing to sacrifice others for her own desires without a care in the world!"
Saber, dressed in her wedding gown, heard Medea's words and angrily drew her Oath-Winning Sword.
Unfortunately, Medea was currently her Master, and with just a raised hand, Saber was unable to resist her. Her body was forced into an extremely embarrassing position.
Her hands, holding the Oath-Winning Sword, were bound and hoisted by magical ropes, while her waist was bent.
In simpler terms, Saber was currently hanging by her bound hands, her body bent at the waist, and her raised buttocks were aimed directly at Yecheng.
As for Irisviel, after hearing about the Greater Holy Grail, she hurriedly left the Einzbern residence.
If what Yecheng said was true, there would definitely be related records in the main branch of the Einzbern family.
If everything was indeed true, she should have stopped Shirou Emiya from pursuing the Holy Grail even more.
After all, Shirou's wish was for world peace.
But the current Holy Grail, aside from whether it had the power to bring about world peace, its mere arrival was enough to bring a certain amount of calamity to this world.
Yecheng had originally planned to borrow the Lesser Holy Grail to study the Third Law, but soon he regretfully discovered that while the Lesser Holy Grail was one of the core mechanisms of the Holy Grail War, its capabilities were still not as strong as the Greater Holy Grail.
Whether it was exploring the Third Law or modifying the Lesser Holy Grail to create a new Greater Holy Grail, observing and researching the Greater Holy Grail was undoubtedly necessary.
So, after hesitating for only a moment, Yecheng ultimately decided to summon the Greater Holy Grail.
That evening, Yecheng brought Medea and Saber to the Mount Enzo in Fuyuki City.
According to his knowledge, the Greater Holy Grail was located within the large-scale magic circle constructed beneath the Ryuudou Temple on Mount Enzo.
This magic circle had the responsibility of drawing and storing the necessary mana for the ritual from Fuyuki City's spirit veins.
The current Lesser Holy Grail had already absorbed the souls of four Heroic Spirits, and theoretically, it still required at least one more Heroic Spirit's soul.
But that guy Gilgamesh was nowhere to be found, and Yecheng didn't have the patience for that, so he planned to use his own mana to fill the missing part.
With the Lesser Holy Grail as a guiding device and their proximity to the Greater Holy Grail at Mount Enzo, the possibility of summoning the Greater Holy Grail right there was quite high!
"Yecheng, do you really intend to summon the polluted Greater Holy Grail here? Even if you know that doing so might cause the deaths of many innocent people, are you unwilling to stop?"
Saber was genuinely perplexed by Yecheng's actions because, in her eyes, Yecheng was a true Knight, not at all like Medea, the Witch.
But the current Yecheng had made the same choice as Medea, which made it hard for her to accept at that moment.
"Shut up, Saber. Don't forget that you're just my Servant, with no right to teach us what to do.
Summoning and using the Holy Grail is the right of the Holy Grail War's victor. I, as Medea's Master, have earned this honor and right.
As for the disasters and destruction caused by 'This World's Evil,' that's the fault of the Einzbern family, driven by their selfish desires. Why should we bear the consequences for them?
Just because they polluted the Holy Grail, causing calamities with each of its appearances, does that mean we should be stripped of our right to make our wishes come true?"
"Before Night City could respond, Medea's words left Saber speechless.
She found Medea's statement a bit excessive, but she couldn't find any grounds to refute it.
The root cause of the Holy Grail's corruption was the Einzbern family, and Night City was merely following the rules of the Holy Grail War. She couldn't morally force them to refrain from summoning the Holy Grail to fulfill their wish.
'Don't be too naive. Do you think everything will be fine if you never summon the Greater Holy Grail? Human evil and negative emotions are infinite, and the Holy Grail's capacity is ultimately limited.
If it continues to accumulate without release, 'the evil of this world' will eventually explode, and the disaster caused by the accumulated 'evil of this world' will be even more catastrophic when it erupts together.'"
"Is there really no other way? Once the Holy Grail descends, the entire Fuyuki City will be destroyed!"
The one who spoke these words was not Saber but Shirou Emiya, who stepped forward from the side.
A

Shirou Emiya had come here intending to stop Night City from summoning the Holy Grail.
But after hearing Night City's words to Saber, he couldn't help but speak up.
As Shirou Emiya stood before them, Night City gestured to Medea, who was preparing to take action, to remain calm. Then, he continued, "To completely eradicate 'the evil of this world,' there are currently only two ways.
The first is to purify the Holy Grail. Before the third Holy Grail War, the stored mana in the Holy Grail was pure and colorless.
The corruption occurred due to Avenger Angra Mainyu, whose true self was in a Zoroastrian village, where he was falsely accused of being 'the embodiment of all evil in this world.'
In theory, we can perform another irregular operation, summon a Heroic Spirit representing 'the embodiment of all good in this world,' and send him back to the Holy Grail.
By neutralizing evil with good, there's a high probability that the Holy Grail can be restored to its previous pure state.
However, while this method is good, it's not easy to achieve. We can exploit the Holy Grail's loopholes and perform an irregular summoning, but we still have Divine Era mages on our side.
But does a Heroic Spirit representing 'the embodiment of all good in this world' even exist? And even if they do, how can we summon them without a Holy Relic? The odds are incredibly slim."
When Night City finished explaining this method, the others present also found it impractical, so they quickly asked, "What about the second method?"
"The second method is much simpler and more brutal: destroy the Holy Grail!
After all, without the Holy Grail, 'the evil of this world' won't continue to accumulate. But there may never be another Holy Grail War or the wish-granting Holy Grail."
After only a moment's hesitation, Shirou Emiya declared, "I choose to destroy the Holy Grail!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Medea, standing beside him, scowled and said, "You choose? What right do you have to make that choice? Until my wish is fulfilled, no one will dare to destroy the Holy Grail!"
'You bunch of amateurs, do you think you can destroy my treasure without consulting me first?'"
