Chapter 883: How Do You Know Everything?
Chapter 883: How Do You Know Everything?
After sorting out their thoughts, Saber and her group realized what they needed to do. They invited Yecheng and his team to join them in raiding the Cathedral Church again that very night.
Since the arrival of the Holy Grail and the evil of this world was inevitable, they could first eliminate unstable factors like Avenger and Kiritsugu Emiya before the Holy Grail's descent. Then, they could figure out how to deal with the evil that was about to be unleashed.
"Do you really think Kiritsugu Emiya is a fool? Previously, he was probably just toying with you. Do you think he would still be waiting at the church for you to come and challenge him?"
Avenger was also a formidable opponent. In terms of strength, she could probably match Gilgamesh after learning close combat arts, but in terms of survival skills, even the golden hero might not compare.
Moreover, as you mentioned, Kiritsugu has many Command Spells to enhance her."
As Yecheng spoke about Avenger, Saber recalled the information they had gathered during their daring mission to the church to confront Kiritsugu and his allies.
Now that they had chosen to cooperate, sharing intelligence was natural. As a righteous knight, Saber had no intention of hiding anything, so she shared her and Rin's speculation: "Regarding Avenger's true name, although it seems unlikely, we suspect that she might be the French Saint, Joan of Arc, who was liberated from the Hundred Years' War in Orleans, based on the emblem on her flag.
However, the historical Saint Joan of Arc should be a revered, upright, and kind hero who saved her country. Why would she descend as an Avenger-class Servant in the Holy Grail War?"
After their battle with Kiritsugu, Saber and Rin didn't waste time. They spent the next two days poring over numerous materials, searching for clues about Avenger's true identity.
After all, knowing the Heroic Spirit's true name might reveal their weaknesses.
The flag in Joan of Arc's hand was too distinctive, so Saber and her group quickly found relevant information.
However, when they compared it with the available data, they were shocked by the results. They couldn't associate the Avenger class with the famous Saint, and they even doubted their own speculation.
"Avenger indeed has a strong connection with the Saint of Orleans, but strictly speaking, she is not the original Joan of Arc. Instead, she is a different entity.
The Avenger we face now is a special form of the Black Saint, a product of the Hundred Years' War in Orleans, created from the anger and obsession of Gilles de Rais after Joan of Arc's execution.
In simple terms, the current Avenger is a fantasy life form born from Gilles de Rais's rage and obsession.
That's why she possesses unique skills like 'Self-Transformation' and 'Mirage Dream.'
Black Jeanne is not Joan of Arc. You can think of her as Gilles de Rais's anger and resentment towards the world. Because the world betrayed and defiled the Saint in his heart, he seeks revenge!"
Avenger's origin was something no one expected, but Saber now understood why Black Jeanne, as an embodiment of obsession and hatred, could continuously regenerate.
Obsession and hatred were almost unbreakable forces. Unless someone could convince her otherwise, Black Jeanne would remain immortal as long as her resentment and hatred persisted.
"How do you know so much? Are you like Archer, a being from the future?"
But Archer had mentioned before his departure that the current history had diverged significantly from what he knew.
"Even if you are truly from the future, it's impossible for you to know these things," Rin Tohsaka pointed out, causing everyone present to freeze. How could Night City possibly know so much about Avenger's true origins? Logically, he hadn't even directly confronted Avenger.
During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Night City had already demonstrated knowledge beyond what others possessed, and his explanation at the time was that he was from the future.
However, this excuse no longer held water, especially with the presence of the Spirit Shirou Emiya, who was also summoned from the future.
The authenticity of Shirou Emiya's identity was undeniable, as the younger version of Shirou was right there with them.
Shirou Emiya had previously stated that the future he came from was unaware of Night City's existence.
There were only two possibilities for this discrepancy: either Night City was from an even more distant future, or he was lying about being from the future at all.
Now, the truth was becoming clear. Regardless of whether Night City was from a future beyond Shirou Emiya's, the future they both claimed to be from seemed to have different versions of the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars.
"I have my own unique sources of information, and they are absolutely reliable. Whether you believe me or not is up to you; I have no obligation to explain anything to you," Night City declared, no longer trying to maintain his future persona. He picked up the Lesser Holy Grail he had just extracted from Illya's body and prepared to head to Enzang Mountain.
Why should he, Night City, care about Black Jeanne or This World's Evil? He wasn't Shirou Emiya; he only wanted to be a righteous ally.
With the Lesser Holy Grail in hand, his next step was to summon and destroy the Greater Holy Grail, then use his preliminary grasp of the Third Magic to transform the Lesser Holy Grail into a new Greater Holy Grail!
During the Fourth Holy Grail War, a momentary lapse in judgment had led to an unexpected complication when he tried to destroy the Greater Holy Grail. He wouldn't make the same mistake again!
"Wait a minute, Night City. Are you planning to summon the Greater Holy Grail right now? But we haven't dealt with Avenger and her allies yet," Saber and the others exclaimed, their faces filled with concern as they tried to stop him. They hadn't anticipated that while they were still finalizing their battle plan, Night City would already be taking the final step.
"It's too time-consuming to slowly search for and eliminate Avenger. To prevent further complications, we should take care of it all at once.
Once we summon the Greater Holy Grail, Avenger and Kiritsugu Emiya will naturally come to us; we won't even need to look for them."
Night City's words initially seemed reasonable to Saber and the others, but as they processed what he said, they realized the absurdity of his plan.
Wasn't the arrival of This World's Evil supposed to enhance Avenger's strength? And they weren't prepared for such an encounter. What if, during their battle with Avenger, This World's Evil flowed towards Enzang Mountain and Fuyuki City, just like ten years ago? Countless innocent people would be displaced and suffer the loss of their homes and families!
