The Great Movie Emperor System (Anime Crossover)

Page 262

Where does the magic power to summon Servants come from? It certainly isn't provided by the magician himself. The magic power responsible for maintaining the Servants' existence and combat doesn't actually consume the magician's magic power.

Otherwise, a certain psychopathic killer wouldn't have been able to summon Lord Bluebeard.

The essence of the Holy Grail War is to seize a vast amount of magical power by having the Tohsaka family provide the land's spiritual veins, thereby supplying the magical power needed to summon the seven Servants.

The Holy Grail War, which occurs every six years, is not triggered by the Holy Grail system only once every sixty years, but rather because Fuyuki City needs sixty years to accumulate enough magical energy to summon the seven Servants again.

The spiritual vein in Fuyuki City is designed to connect to a vast, almost inexhaustible source of magical power.

Normally speaking, the magical power required to summon a Servant is close to the reserves of 9 years. How could the magical power possessed by a magician possibly compare to the reserves of such a large spiritual vein for 9 years?

Even if Kenneth was hailed as a child prodigy, he couldn't have done that; he was, after all, human, not a god.

Even if Aizen were possessed, he couldn't do something so unscientific.

This made Finn very curious.

He didn't hate the illegal operation; on the contrary, he was even more eager to see how Aizen would do it. However, he didn't realize that Aizen's actions were not based on legitimate means in the first place.

Hattori Hanzo brought it with him! He didn't need any magic power at all; he was just using a magic circle as cover.

However, a reason is still needed.

Seeing Finn's questioning and inquisitive gaze, Aizen knew he needed 057 to give him a reasonable answer.

It's impossible to fool the other party.

Aizen then spent a second recalling how the Einzbern family had violated regulations during the Third Holy Grail War to summon the Holy Grail.

One second, two seconds! The original work didn't mention it! Luckily, Aizen had a flash of inspiration and remembered some information about the Third Shinobi World War.

Aside from those summoned illegally, Edelfelt had two Servants participate in the battle and summoned two more, meaning there were a total of nine Servants with the rank of 9 in the Third Strike Force.

In other words, even if we remove the weakling Xiao An, it's still clearly over the top.

Although there are still details that haven't been uncovered, it's precisely because there's still an unknown that Aizen can spout nonsense.

After carefully preparing his words, Aizen slowly began to speak under the gazes of the two: "The magical power used to summon Servants in the Holy Grail War is provided by the magical power accumulated over sixty years by the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City."

The idea is to use the mutual slaughter of war to infuse the souls of six Servants into the Lesser Grail, thus bringing forth the Greater Grail.

Whether the claim of an omnipotent wish-granting machine is true or false is another matter, but it is clear that the so-called Holy Grail is not the one in the Bible... but rather a product born from a magical ritual, a container for the convergence of magical power.

Thus, when the soul is infused into the Lesser Grail, the magic returns to the Greater Grail.

As far as I know, the previous three Holy Grail Wars all ended in failure, and apart from the second one, they didn't even manage to bring down the Holy Grail. So, "At this point, Aizen stopped speaking and looked at the other two."

Sora's expression was a mixture of confusion and sudden realization; it was unclear what she was imagining.

In fact, not finishing the story was to give them room to fill in the gaps; compared to this young lady, Aizen was more concerned about Finn.

Finn, seemingly lost in thought, naturally bit his thumb, which gleamed brightly as he continued, "So the magic power in the Greater Grail throughout the ages hasn't actually been used up at all."

Even though the Second Holy Grail War exhausted its magical power for some reason, the magical power of the Third Holy Grail War, which ended without a clear conclusion, still remained.

However, even though the Greater Grail contains sufficient magical power, its descent still requires the sacrifice of six Servants, which is why the Holy Grail ceremony needs to be held repeatedly.

Aizen's deliberate manipulation successfully distorted Finn's logic.

Finn quickly frowned and found the blind man: "But there's another problem. Since there's magic left in the Greater Grail, even if each Holy Grail War inevitably consumes some magic, the remaining magic is so vast that the interval between two Holy Grail Wars shouldn't be as long as 60 years."

"That's right, but this is probably related to the original Holy Grail system."

Aizen calmly echoed, indicating that he didn't know either.

Finn nodded knowingly and didn't press the matter further.

Kenneth was an "outsider".

This was known during the initial mutual understanding, and it's normal that Kenneth, who wasn't the creator of the Holy Grail system, was unaware of some secrets.

The reason why the Fifth Holy Grail War started so quickly is due to Finn's logic. The Fourth Holy Grail War destroyed the Holy Grail, but the Greater Grail's magic power was still very much in reserve, which greatly shortened the time before the Holy Grail War started again.

However, it's true that Aizen didn't know either, though he probably had some guesses.

The magic power must have been used up the last few times.

The Holy Grail itself is not an omnipotent wish-granting machine. The core of the Holy Grail War is to use the six Heroic Spirits in the Lesser Grail to create a hole in the world when they return to Valhalla. The Greater Grail's magic is used to keep this hole from closing for a short time, thereby achieving the Root.

Once you get to the root of the problem, in a sense you can make any wish, if you can bear the consequences.

The fact that you failed the first three times doesn't mean the magic wasn't used up.

Since there were no Command Seals the first time, the Heroic Spirits probably returned directly to Valhalla, so it's normal that they didn't retain any magical energy.

The second instance is the failure of the final ritual, which means that the Greater Grail's magic power has been used up, but the punching ritual was unsuccessful. It could be that the winner is not one of the starter family, and that the Lesser Grail was used as a universal wish-granting machine, leading to misuse. Or perhaps the Greater Grail's power did not last long enough, or even that the punching was done in the wrong place.

Although the ritual was not performed for the third time, Aizen felt that since the Holy Grail War was to be held again after sixty years, it was impossible that he had not used up all his magical energy.

Since it's not part of the main story, the fact that the plot doesn't explain how the magic was used up doesn't mean it wasn't.

Although he knew exactly what was going on, he could still easily fool others. Even if Finn sensed something was amiss, he couldn't pinpoint the problem, given the "known conditions."

What they said is all true, the so-called "truth".

That's just something they made up in their minds.

With this in mind, Aizen readily made use of the waste materials and put the magic circle in the room to use again.

If it's true that even if the magic in the Greater Grail wasn't completely used up, how could Kenneth possibly use it? It must be through some secret method. Finn isn't stupid enough to pry into other people's secrets.

Smart people don't need to talk much.

Once again, the meaningless summoning incantation was repeated without any emotion, and the bright blue magical effect once again illuminated the room.

"Summon Hattori."

As he silently gave this command, Aizen's expression suddenly shifted, sensing that something was amiss.

Holy crap! He had subtly "disguised" the existence of those three extra Command Seals in his possession from the very beginning.

But what about the other three Command Seals that contained extraordinary magical power? Could it be that some magical power was actually retained from the Third Shinobi World War? Aizen, whose heart was stirred with a little turmoil, still finished reciting all the incantations without changing his expression, but a strange sense of unease rushed into his mind.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Two figures appeared one after the other within the magic circle, seemingly belonging to "Kenneth".

In front of him.

A hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the masked ninja man carrying two swords, but then a flood of information rushed into his mind, allowing him to react quickly. His cold voice also awakened the somewhat astonished Finn and Sora.

".

Hattori Hanzo pays his respects.

""

Another questioning voice sounded wary, but the handsome young man carrying two pistols quickly replied with a hint of confidence and respect, "Are you an enemy here to harm my lord? I wonder if your blade can withstand my spear."

A familiar hairstyle.

The familiar dual pistols.

Familiar flippancy, yet respectful.

Familiar politeness and confidence.

And, that familiar beauty mark under the eye and that tone of voice.

Aizen: ""

Finn: ""

Sora: "Wow, so handsome!"

Chapter 447 Brush: Whom Should I Call My Lord? 1/3

It's you, it's you, it's definitely you! Aizen began to wonder if there really was some magic left over from the Third Shinobi World War. Where did such a huge brush come from?

The atmosphere suddenly became dull and strange.

Not to mention Aizen, even Finn's expression was somewhat indescribable.

"What's wrong"

Sensing something was amiss, Diarmuid put down his dual pistols and began to calmly survey his surroundings.

Yes, in front of me are my lord and someone who hasn't shown any hostility.

Then, the presence of a rather pretty noblewoman was not important; the moment Finn and Diarmuid's eyes met, Diarmuid's confident smile suddenly froze.

"My lord, my sovereign!"

"Ah, Diarmuid."

Even Finn, who maintained a calm demeanor, sounded somewhat bewildered.

Definitely hateful! And a little proud too.

His feelings toward Diarmuid, the chief knight of the Fiona Knights, were very complicated. It could be said that having his third wife stolen by Diarmuid was a minor matter, but his lifelong reputation was completely ruined by Diarmuid, and it was Diarmuid's fault that led him to a situation where he was betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

On the other hand, Diarmuid was indeed a promising junior of Finn's. Even if he wasn't considered half a son, they were at least uncle and nephew, or grandfather and grandson.

An awkward atmosphere filled the room.

However, besides the two people involved, Aizen was also in a bad mood.

Even though he initially considered the possibility of starting with Diarmuid, given Kenneth's status as a "Relic,"...

It's not impossible to summon Diarmuid by summoning a Heroic Spirit.

But after Finn was summoned, he just couldn't stand the sight of that brush anymore.

Just look at Sora's irrational eyes and attitude, and you'll know.

Aizen definitely didn't like Sora, the noble lady he had just met. Sora could be described as mediocre in both personality and ability, and even her beautiful face was just an ordinary pretty girl in Aizen's eyes.

However, the ambiguous actor's role was already troublesome enough, and before anything even started, "Kenneth"...

His identity is already about to explode.

Even if we don't know the definition of "happy for everyone," Kenneth being cheated on is definitely not something that can be described as "happy for everyone"! It's upsetting! Fortunately, Aizen, who had taken precautions, took a deep breath.

He broke the awkward silence: "Alright, Diarmuid."

I am Kenneth, you all belong to me, Finn is mine, you and Hattori are my summoned Servants, and there are no enemies present.

If there are any problems, we can discuss them privately first, and resolve any conflicts as soon as possible.

I'm busy right now.

We need to leave with Sora for a while, and hopefully, we won't see any open conflict or irreconcilable differences.

On the surface?

Finn's expression was enigmatic, but he did not refuse.

"This"

Diarmuid initially felt that Kenneth had summoned three Heroic Spirits, which was somewhat against the rules and unfair, but he soon hesitated because of what the other party said.

Don't immediately think about how you were just summoned.

Despite the displeasure, Diarmuid replied in a deep voice, "I understand, Lord."

Suddenly, Dilumu hesitated for a moment.

Originally, "lord"

He didn't care about being called that; he just called him that directly, since his wish was to make up for the regrets he had before he died.

The desire to deliver victory to one's lord is ultimately a form of self-redemption, a self-deception to comfort oneself that one is loyal.

But the fact that Finn is also present makes things a bit awkward.

Fortunately, Aizen was quite understanding and immediately replied, "Just call me whatever you want. You only have one master, right?"

After saying that, Aizen grabbed Sora, who was staring blankly at the handsome guy, and pulled her out of the room without saying another word.

The process provoked some resistance from Sora, but under Aizen's cold gaze, Sora immediately cowered and was taken away.

Let Diarmuid and Finn resolve their own conflict; Aizen, as an outsider, doesn't want to get involved.

If it weren't for the Sora incident, Aizen wouldn't have had any ill will towards Diarmuid, though he didn't have any goodwill towards him either. But getting a subordinate for free was never a bad deal for Aizen.

Brush has many merits and admirable qualities, but it is definitely not a truly loyal creature.

Both his life story and the events that occurred during the Fourth Shinobi World War prove that while he might have been a decent knight, his loyalty was truly questionable.
