Chapter 626 The New Holy Grail War
Matō Zouken, formerly known as Zolgen Magiri, is a righteous man who wants to eliminate all evil in the world. With a noble but unattainable ideal, he finally goes to the Einzbern family, hoping to be able to live in this world. The third magician] finds the power to realize his ideals in the family of disciples.
But human beings are always like this. No matter how noble their ideals are, they cannot withstand the erosion of time.
He cooperated with the Einzbern and Tohsaka families to create the ritual of the [Holy Grail War], hoping to use the power of the [Great Holy Grail] to realize his ideals.
But as he failed again and again, he began to face the test of death.
In order to live to see his ideal come true, he began to turn to immortality. In order to live longer, he began to do whatever it took, and eventually became the "worm" himself.
Abandoning his corrupt body and using insects to complete all survival functions, there is nothing left of him except his soul.
But even that soul was gradually tainted.
Zolgen Magiri, who once harbored noble ideals, was completely alienated by his thirst for life again and again, and became a decayed Matou Zouken.
As Tong Gu walked, with the help of the clone's test, he narrowly avoided monsters one after another and shuttled through the darkness of Fuyuki City. Occasionally, he could still see some traces of humans hidden in the city.
Finally, the missing person's cane began to fall to the ground and pointed in the same direction. Tong Gu looked at the empty road and stretched out his hand to release magic power, without sensing the existence of any barrier.
That is to say...
Tong Gu looked at the ground. This group of people was probably hiding underground.
"It's a suitable place for bugs to live."
Tong Gu gently raised his right foot and stepped on it.
boom!
The ground shattered instantly. Amidst the huge sound, a sharp cry came from below, and several rays of light rushed towards Tong Gu.
Tong Gu's right hand was wrapped in dark armed domineering energy. He grabbed the flying gemstone without paying attention and crushed it completely before it exploded.
Tong Gu, who slowly fell from the sky, saw the situation in the smelly sewer below the ground.
The petite girl Tohsaka Rin was protected behind her by a white-haired heroic spirit. Judging from her posture, the immature gem magic just now was obviously thrown by Tohsaka Rin.
On the other side of the confrontation, even in the smelly sewer, the old man still sitting on the side, exuding an aura of decay, was the person Tong Gu was looking for on this trip, Matou Zangyan.
But in fact, the person in control of the situation at this time was a proud heroic spirit lying in the ruins, wearing golden armor.
Gilgamesh looked at Tong Gu who was slowly falling from the sky with a stern look.
"Who allowed you to look down on me?"
A golden sword instantly cut through the air. Tong Gu turned slightly sideways, and the long sword exuding strong magic power disappeared into the darkness.
Tong Gu slowly stepped down from the air. With a wave of his right hand, the ground destroyed by him was restored instantly.
"Who are you?"
The heroic spirit guarding Tohsaka Rin has short white hair covering the back of his head, dark skin, and solid muscles. He is wearing a red and black outfit, and the whole person exudes awe-inspiring righteousness.
Tong Gu looked at the command spell on the back of Tohsaka Rin's hand and already understood what this group of people had done.
He did not answer the unknown heroic spirit's words, but instead said to Matou Zangyan
"You want to start a new [Holy Grail War]?"
Matong Zangyan deliberately coughed twice before saying
"You know the [Holy Grail War], are you a [Magician] or a [Player]?"
From the unknown heroic spirit to Tong Gu, and then to Matou Zangyan, the three of them all opened their mouths to ask others, but did not answer them themselves.
This kind of human arrogance made Gilgamesh's lips curve with disdain.
He doesn't like this environment. Even if he wants to hear about the so-called new [Holy Grail War] here, he is only willing to demolish one wall and place himself in clean ruins.
This inherent nobility and arrogance is a weakness that Gilgamesh cannot abandon.
Although Tong Gu looked at Matou Zangyan, his attention was actually on Gilgamesh. Among the several people present, this was the only one who could truly threaten him.
Gilgamesh's performance is almost top-notch in terms of strength and precious phantoms, but he has been reduced to the background several times. In Tong Gu's view, in the final analysis, it lies in the arrogance of this ancient king.
He is not a king who can give up everything to fight with others in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In desperate situations, those who give up everything will always take the lead.
Tong Gu concentrated his energy, and the strong magic power almost roared in this underground space.
This level of magic power is almost completely different from the magic power of magicians who rely on the [Magic Seal] in their bodies to turn the flowing magic power into spells.
This is the power of heaven and earth brewed by the magic elements roaring between heaven and earth in a mysterious and unrestricted world.
At this moment, even Gilgamesh turned his head and began to face Tong Gu's existence. This scene almost reminded him of the scene in the Age of Gods, or in other words, the other party was just like himself, flexing his power wantonly.
The expressions of Matou Zouken and Heroic Spirit Emiya both changed at this moment.
"This kind of power...it seems that you are a [player]."
Matou Zangyan answered his own question, but the next second, a clear Zanpakutō was placed on his neck.
"Matō Zoyan, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense anymore. Your insect-like immortal body has no effect on me."
As he spoke, Tong Gu's Zanpakuto slowly pierced Matou Zangyan's shoulder. The latter's body trembled, and the pain that he had not felt for an unknown amount of time truly appeared in his soul.
"Answer me, do you want to restart the [Holy Grail War]?"
Matou Zangyan was silent for a moment. Because of the opponent's sword that directly pierced his soul, he felt extremely wary and had to answer.
"Of course, at this time, besides the [Great Holy Grail], what else can save the world!"
Tong Gu turned around and looked at the other people. It was obvious that Tohsaka Rin did not know many secrets about the [Holy Grail War]. He even summoned the heroic spirits in front of him through the teachings of others.
Gilgamesh, on the other hand, seems to be hanging on high, but his appearance here proves that the other party actually wants to start the [Holy Grail War], and he also has his own wishes that he wants to realize.
Tong Gu suddenly grabbed Matou Zangyan's head and lifted him up. This scene made everyone else in the cave stand up instantly. In the darkness, a certain figure trembled. This movement was instantly captured by Tong Gu, and he understood in his heart , Matou Zangyan actually secretly summoned the heroic spirit to appear.
He looked at the wary eyes of several people, lifted the Matou Zangyan in front of him, and said coldly
"Matou Zouken, I guess you didn't tell them the true purpose of the [Holy Grail War]."
At this time, even Gilgamesh stood up slowly, his expression indifferent, with murderous intentions hidden. He would never allow anyone to deceive or take advantage of him.
The so-called [Holy Grail War] is actually the Matou Zōyan, Tohsaka family, and Einzbern families who joined forces to downgrade the [Séance Ritual and Heroic Spirit Summoning] that summons crowned heroic spirits into a Servant summoning process. Fight and retain the souls of the defeated heroes in the [Little Holy Grail].
A ritual that uses the huge magic power accumulated in Fuyuki City's leylines to solidify the hole that penetrates the world and reaches the [source] when the heroic spirit returns to the Seat of Heroic Spirits, allowing human magicians to reach the [source].
More importantly, the [Great Holy Grail] has actually been contaminated, and this path is probably not feasible at all.
Tong Gu put his Zanpakutō on Matou Zangyan's neck, and in the eyes of everyone, he said coldly
"Tell me your true purpose, Matou Zouken."
"The reason why we have to carry out the [Holy Grail War] instead of conducting a real [Séance Ritual and Heroic Spirit Summoning] to summon the crowned heroic spirit who can save Fuyuki City."
