Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy
Chapter 32: The Workings of the Holy Grail
Emiya Kiritsugu said: "My wish is... world peace, no more disputes between people, and no more war in this world."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone looking at Emiya Kiritsugu changed.
Mo Li smiled: "Then, Emiya Kiritsugu, how are you going to achieve world peace? The Holy Grail cannot do anything beyond your understanding. Please first understand this fundamental point."
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned. "Since the Holy Grail is an omnipotent wish-granting machine, shouldn't it simply ignore any conditions or procedures and directly achieve the effect I desire?"
"Of course not. If it can do that, then it's not just some ordinary thing like the Third Grail of the Law of Heaven. If it can do that, wouldn't it be better if I just made a wish to destroy ORT?"
Mo Li shook his head slightly. "Then let me explain the nature of the wishes granted by the Holy Grail. Emiya Kiritsugu, the Heavenly Grail has been tainted and transformed into the Black Grail. But even so, I can clearly tell you how the wish mechanisms of the two Holy Grails work. Take your wish, for example."
"First, the Black Grail. Your wish is easily granted by the Black Grail. The Holy Grail cannot fulfill wishes in any way other than what you know. Although the Black Grail adheres to the principle of granting the wish, it can maliciously twist and fulfill your wish in a way that is detrimental to its outcome."
Mo Li asked in a cold tone, "Then, Emiya Kiritsugu, tell me, what is the most convenient and fastest way to achieve world peace in your opinion?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, then said without hesitation: "Killing those who start wars and destroy peace is the most convenient and quickest way."
In his mind, there is really no other way except killing, because he has never received any education other than killing.
Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka held his forehead with his hand: "Mashu, this Master is too... Anyone who wants to start a war and destroy peace will be killed. Even if it really succeeds, although it can indeed put an end to the war and restore peace, but this kind of thing can't be banned at all. As long as people have desires, such a result is bound to happen..."
Mashu responded softly, "Don't say that. Although his methods are not good, his wish is actually quite good."
Mo Li smiled and responded, "Then congratulations, Emiya Kiritsugu. The Black Holy Grail will absolutely welcome you making such a wish. Although Angra Mainyu is dead, all the evil in this world that he left behind will absolutely love such a wish."
"The way to fulfill your wish is to have all humans killed by the Black Holy Grail. Your wish will be fulfilled. This is the wish that the Black Holy Grail can fulfill!"
"How can this be!" Emiya Kiritsugu almost lost his composure and screamed subconsciously, unwilling to admit and resist such a result: "Shouldn't it be an omnipotent wish-granting machine!"
Mo Li smiled and said, "Yes, as long as your wish can be fulfilled, it's all fine. As for the means used, that's up to the Black Holy Grail itself. Look, your wish has come true, hasn't it? World peace, no more disputes between people, no more wars. This is the inevitable result of your wish."
Mo Li's answer also shocked many people present, especially Iskandar and Tōsaka Tokiomi. They both had clear and lofty wishes that needed the Holy Grail to fulfill. This Black Cup was actually so dangerous...
As the victor of the Holy Grail War, Romani cast a pitying look at Emiya Kiritsugu. Fortunately, the old director's request was very simple.
Emiya Kiritsugu breathed rapidly and said, "Where is the Third Grail of Heaven? The uncontaminated Grail of Heaven!"
Mo Li's smile turned somewhat sarcastic. "The Heavenly Grail might not kill humanity, but even if humanity survives, they will immediately lose all desires and thoughts related to war and conflict. The entire world will be completely peaceful, and humanity will live in peace and prosperity every day. Developing more advanced technology will only bring countless hidden dangers to humanity. As long as it can help humans live a good life, it will be enough. Therefore, even technology will stagnate, and everyone will be content with the status quo and no longer strive for progress. Congratulations, the realization of such a wish will directly wipe out the future of mankind."
"As for the ultimate outcome, of course, it's either that ORT wakes up and exterminates humanity, or that alien life, which has long been eyeing Earth, seizes the opportunity to attack and annihilate us. Earth is then occupied by aliens, and I have no idea what role humanity will play in that alien civilization."
Emiya Kiritsugu's sanity collapsed again, veins popping out on his face, and he immediately held his head and roared, "Impossible! How could this happen!"
Mo Li said, "Of course it will be like this, Emiya Kiritsugu. Otherwise, what method do you think can bring peace to the world, so that there will be no more disputes between people and war will no longer be related to humans? This is your wish."
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!" Emiya Kiritsugu knelt down in despair. He never thought that his wish would be so ridiculous.
Irisviel came to Emiya Kiritsugu, helped him up and brought him to the seat where she had just sat. However, the other party now looked gloomy and obviously had no intention of communicating for the time being.
"Peace is never achieved through a single object, but rather through the collective efforts of humanity. Conflicts are never resolved simply through wishes; they can only be resolved through humanity itself. War can only be gradually eliminated through the unity of humanity itself. If you rely on something like a wishing machine, then that's exactly what will happen."
Mo Li paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "Of course, there are methods that have no side effects and can perfectly fulfill your wishes, but this is beyond the reach of the Third Grail of the Law of Heaven. Therefore, this thing itself is only a half-baked wish-granting machine. However, with your abilities, Emiya Kiritsugu, you are not capable of pursuing such great power."
The others listened in silence, except for Gilgamesh who didn't care at all. Everyone had a new perspective on the Holy Grail.
"Senior Mo, is the Holy Grail such a terrifying thing?" Mashu asked Mo Li in a low voice.
Mo Li said, "Things like the Holy Grail are fine only if they are used correctly. If they are used incorrectly, it will be very funny, just like the wish that Emiya Kiritsugu wants to fulfill."
Fujimaru Ritsuka muttered, "It's hard to imagine that the omnipotent wish-granting machine would actually work like this..."
At this moment, Artoria's expression was also a little subtle: "If this is how the Holy Grail works, then my wish..."
Mo Li looked at Artoria: "Actually, Artoria, you don't need to worry too much about these things. The Black Cup will certainly give you something completely opposite to your imagination, but the wishes that the Heavenly Cup can fulfill may not necessarily be what you want."
Altria looked at Mo Li: "Do you know what I want?"
Mo Li said, "Well, I do know that even if you successfully make a wish with the Heavenly Cup, it will still be you, the Knight King, who will complete that chapter of history. However, you might become the Lion King instead of the Knight King..."
"The Lion King? What's that?"
"What would happen if you took the Holy Lance?" Mo Li did not explain too much, but just a few words made Artoria completely silent, and her already shaken heart became even more confused.
Mo Li said to everyone, "Everyone, the Greater Holy Grail requires a lot of mana. It will only activate after seven Servants have defeated five and returned to the Holy Grail, so we still have ample time. You all have your own ideas you want to accomplish, but I don't recommend that you engage in life-or-death battles right now. Victory and defeat are acceptable, but no one must die."
Iskandar was the first to respond: "Don't worry. Since the Holy Grail is such a thing, we naturally can't be impatient. Mr. Mo Li, those of us who pursue the Holy Grail are not people who can't distinguish between good and evil. Fortunately, my wish is not excessive."
Tōsaka Tokiomi sighed and said, "Before the Black Cup is purified, it will be nothing more than trash to my Tōsaka family. I'm relying on you, my friend Mo Li."
Although his wish was not too outrageous, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not dare to use the problematic Holy Grail.
Kenneth acted as if it was a matter of course. "Oh, I knew it. It's not surprising that a competition organized by a few magic families in a small place would be so terrible. Even the so-called Third Magic Cup is probably just a boastful title. How can there be magic in this era?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi glanced at Kenneth speechlessly. It meant that he didn't care, but Kenneth really treated the three great families as a dish.
Speaking of magic, the Tōsaka family is not bad either, especially after absorbing the water magic of the Matou family.
Speaking of which, it seems like Mo Li knows a lot. Why not consider marrying your daughter to him? Although they are still young, they can definitely get engaged first.
Kotomine Kirei suddenly asked, "Just how far can the Holy Grail go? It's an omnipotent wish-granting machine, after all. What's its limit?"
Mo Li said, "Is that the upper limit of the Holy Grail? Materializing the souls of all humanity is pretty much its upper limit. Although it still has some power left, and can transform a person into Fafner, as Siegfried killed, it can't do much else. That's pretty much its limit."
Kenneth looked at Mo Li in shock: "Materialize the souls of all mankind?! Is this possible? Can the Holy Grail actually do this?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi was also quite shocked. The Holy Grail had never been used normally in the previous three battles, so he didn't know what the Holy Grail could do.
Li Qiye said, "Of course, if I continue to introduce it, I can talk all day long, but I think we should not waste this time. Let's quickly decide what challenges each of our servants should set. Then I will start cleaning up."
