Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

Chapter 50 Butterfly Wings

There was a rare hint of bitterness in Ubus's tone. "How did you know this? If we fail in the Fifth Holy Grail War, our Einzbern family will give up the Holy Grail. This shouldn't be known to outsiders."

The Holy Grail War is both the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish and a battle for their survival.

Mo Li said: "...I just know it. How did I know it? Is it important? Youbus."

Ubus said, "That's right... Mr. Mo Li, I don't need you to ask Emiya Kiritsugu and the others to come here with evidence. I mobilized the connections of the Einzbern family. I have investigated what you said. Those guys did want to remove the Greater Holy Grail. I'll trouble you to take care of my two young men. They have natural lives and will not be destroyed along with my Einzbern family. From now on, they will be the new Einzbern, and they can live as natural people."

Mo Li said, "Illya is the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu, so it's understandable that she can live as a natural person. But what about Irisviel? She is the most orthodox Einzbern family life. And can Illya really live for a long time as a natural person? No matter what, she is at least half from Irisviel. Even if I solve the Holy Grail problem, can her soul really last for a long time?"

There are many places in the Moon World works that hint that Illya's death is never a problem of the body, but the extinction of the soul. The body can be replaced, but she is destined to have a short life because of the problem with the soul.

Ubus: "This is my problem. The Einzbern family gave up too much for the Holy Grail War, preparing for a future that has not yet come, which has caused such a problem. However, as long as the problem with the Lesser Holy Grail system in her body can be solved, she can still live to fifty."

“Fifty years old…” Mo Li looked at Irisviel: “Where’s Irisviel? I also plan to get rid of the Little Holy Grail in her body.”

Ubbs said: "It should be about the same."

Upon hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then grabbed Irisviel's hand: "It seems we really don't have much time."

Mo Li continued to ask, "What if I use the Holy Grail's wishes to allow them to live to a hundred years old normally? Although the current Greater Holy Grail is only a half-baked wish-granting machine and not a complete third method, if it only increases lifespan, it should be no problem."

Ubbs asked in return: "You actually want to increase their lifespan with such a precious wish-making opportunity?"

Mo Li said as a matter of course, "Anyway, the wish-making limit of the Holy Grail system is the amount of magic power. It's never just a matter of making a few wishes. So, making a wish to increase my lifespan shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Yubus tried to persuade Li Qiye: "If you use the Holy Grail to allow you to enter the Root and connect to the Root, wouldn't you be able to do it with just a wave of your hand? Why waste precious magic power to help them first? What if you don't have enough magic power to support entering the Root and connecting to the Root later, then wouldn't everything be in vain?"

Mo Li said, "Then I have something very sad to tell you. None of those who participated in the Holy Grail War had the qualifications to enter the Root, connect to the Root, and then return. Whether it was Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel, or Tōsaka Tokiomi, none of them could do it. Once you enter the Root, you can never return. If you choose this path, your wish is doomed to fail."

Ubus was stunned: "This..."

Mo Li said, "You don't think that relying on a Holy Grail can allow people to enter the root, connect to the root and become omnipotent, right? If the Holy Grail really has such power, how could your source still be the Third Magician? Is the Third Magician already omnipotent? Do you need me to remind Ubus what your source is? Or do you need my reminder, Ahad?"

Mo Li continued, "The Third Magician's disciples haven't succeeded. Why do you think something like the Holy Grail can do it? Furthermore, in your records, is there anyone who has entered the Origin, connected to the Origin, and then returned to reality and become omnipotent? Even if there isn't anyone who can achieve omnipotence, has there been anyone who has entered the Origin and reconnected to the Origin and then returned?"

Ubus was silent for a long moment before speaking again, "It's certainly not in our records... but this is the very meaning of our existence. If we don't do this, what else can we do? If by the fifth battle, no one is destined to inherit the Third Law, and we can't enter the Root, connect with the Root, and fulfill our long-cherished wish, then I'm afraid we can only follow that predetermined fate. You're right."

Mo Li said, "Since you Einzbern are splitting up anyway, give the inheritance you left to Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel to them, and leave everything else to me. If you're destined to perish, there's no point in wasting it, right? I plan to lead Einzbern down another path."

Ahad said, "What? Why should I hand over my beloved Inzbern family's things to you?"

Li Qiye persuaded him, "Your path is doomed to fail. Why don't you try to follow me? After all, the disciples of the missing Third Magician have already committed suicide or left the Einzbern family, right? It would be better for you to join my army. Then, we can gather the strength of the three great families, send the one we believe has the greatest chance of victory, and then step into the Root."

Ubus was silent for a long time before he spoke like a slogan: "Einzbern will only fulfill his long-cherished wish with his own will."

Mo Li asked in return, "But if you fail in the five battles, the entire Einzbern family will be extinct. Do you really intend to exterminate the Einzbern? Are you confident that you can win the five battles?"

Ubus: “You…”

Mo Li said, "Ubus, I will resurrect the Winter Saint, Yustisa, so I need the Einzbern family. You arrange the separation of the Einzbern family, and then hand over everything in the Einzbern family to me."

Ubus panicked: "The Holy Maiden of Winter?! But she has clearly become the core and cornerstone of the Holy Grail! What are you going to do to the Holy Grail system?!"

Mo Li said, "Ubus, calm down. You're thinking in the wrong direction. I want to use the Greater Holy Grail to make a wish to revive the Winter Saint Justissa and allow her to regain her body. I don't want to dismantle the entire Greater Holy Grail. The Winter Saint's original body is naturally the core and cornerstone of the Greater Holy Grail system. I won't dismantle it."

Ubus calmed down. "Are you saying that you want to revive the soul of the Winter Saint and let her enter a brand new body and be resurrected?"

Mo Li said: "Yes, that's right."

"That's indeed no problem, but the Holy Maiden of Winter..." Ubus seemed a little hesitant.

Mo Li said, "Look, if you don't succeed in the fifth battle, you will be extinct, and the Einzbern family will be wiped out. If that's the case, why don't you hand the future of the Einzbern family over to me in advance? With the Winter Saint here, the Einzbern family will have a reason to continue, right?"

Ubus said, "I have another question. Why did you resurrect Justissa? You should know that she is the will of the Greater Holy Grail and the administrator of the Greater Holy Grail system. The reason she is willing to achieve the Greater Holy Grail is because she is also pursuing the Third Law."

"I like Justisia, that's all. Any other questions?"

"...You like her? You like the Holy Maiden of Winter? Even if you resurrect her, you can't complete the third method! She just touched the edge of the third method. Are you serious about resurrecting her?" Ubus never expected such an answer.

Mo Li said, "The Heavenly Cup of the Third Law is just the Heavenly Cup. It's not the Third Law itself. It's just a derivative of the Third Law. I'm very clear about this. As for my resurrection of her, I've said it before. I like Yustisa. It's that simple. I don't want to resurrect Yustisa to help me complete the Third Law. I want to resurrect her because I like her."

Ubus felt that what he heard was quite absurd: "Like her... Tsk, your attitude is not like that of a normal magician. The wish-granting power of the Holy Grail cannot be underestimated, but you actually gave such an answer. You have to know that she died hundreds of years ago, and the remaining soul and will are still alive in the Holy Grail. And yet, there are still people who like her..."

Mo Li said, "I'm happy to."

"...Okay." Ubus took a deep breath and said, "I will now arrange that the Einzbern family will be separated from now on. I will pass on the inheritances that can be left to Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel. Everything else will be passed on to you. The prerequisite is that you truly resurrect the Winter Saint, Justissa, and have her take charge of everything in the Einzbern family. You must also wait for the outcome of the Fifth Holy Grail War."

If Justisia is really resurrected, then she will never give up the pursuit of the Third Law. Then the answer is very simple. If the Einzbern family really fails again in the Fifth Holy Grail War, it proves that this path is not feasible. Then everything of the Einzbern family will be handed over to Justisia to guide them to take another path. At least in this way, the Einzbern family will not perish.

Justissa will lead the Einzbern family onto a completely new path. It may not succeed, but there is still hope.

Ubus said, "I will use Illya's genes to create a android that combines all the highest level of Einzbern technology in preparation for the Fifth War."

Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but say, "Why are you using my daughter's genes?"

Ubus said, "Kiritsugu? Humph, you... Of course it's because Illya is the most outstanding. Her lifeblood comes from the Einzbern family and you, a natural person. Her potential is the highest in the entire Einzbern. Of course I have to use her as a model. I even have a name in mind: Chloe von Einzbern."
