Main God Creation Rules

Enkidu was a city-state of the Sumerian dynasty in Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, was initially a tyrannical ruler. Enkidu was created by the goddess Alulu in response to the people suffering under his tyranny. At first, Gilgamesh and Enkidu met as enemies, but soon they recognized each other and began to rule together. Having gained an equal friend, Gilgamesh gradually changed, bringing unprecedented prosperity to Uruk.

It must be admitted that this is a story full of beautiful, fairytale-like symbolism, but when this story appears on the opposing side, it becomes exceptionally bad.

Based on the fact that this "lancer" can persuade the archer to take the initiative to attack or even assist him in battle, and given that he has some characteristics similar to those in the legend, it is not difficult to deduce his real name and identity.

—Enkidu, Gilgamesh's only acknowledged friend.

For his close friend Archer, Archer completely abandoned the arrogant image he had always displayed in the previous Holy Grail War. He not only personally participated in this Heroic Spirit War, which he had previously described as quite unbearable, but it is also unknown whether he would directly join the battle against Saber below and fight two against one if Lancer made further requests.

Following Kiritsugu Emiya's instructions, Lin Yi arrived near the battlefield and witnessed this scene: the lofty King of Heroes had surprisingly "approached" the ground—behind Enkidu, the Watcher's friend was engaged in battle with Saber. Judging from the Gate of Babylon behind him, it didn't seem like he intended to allow them to join in for a two-on-one fight. As for a one-on-one fight, regardless of whether Saber could defeat Lancer, Eve, with her energy and magical artifacts already nearly depleted, had absolutely no hope of winning against this strongest Servant in the Holy Grail War.

"...so despicable and shameless, yet it makes one feel a sense of familiarity."

—At least this "planetary will" doesn't mechanically send out Heroic Spirits to eliminate invaders, but rather, like humans, it makes corresponding arrangements based on its own situation, such as the alliance between Assassin and Berserker yesterday, and the relationship between Lancer and Archer now.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi calmly spoke to the Magician Killer on the other end of the communicator.

"Kiritsugu Emiya, how much are you willing to pay for this Holy Grail?"

【……everything】

"Use a Command Spell, Saber! Just three seconds—let Saber hold off Archer and Lancer!"

Without waiting for a response, Lin Yi abruptly ended the communication.

Eve

What are you willing to do for my wish?

The question was never even asked before the answer was given.

“Father, everything Eve has belongs to you, whether it’s this body, these data, or this soul.”

A deep blue light emanated from the Rosa Madonna on her forehead and spread throughout her body.

"Please use me, Father..."

The Mysteries of Magic: Chapter 185, Day Two (Part 2)

The unique circumstances surrounding the creation of the graviton emission device mean that Lin Yi simply cannot replicate a second identical device at this stage. In other words, given the current limitations in technology and materials, even if a replica were made, it would inevitably fail to unleash its full destructive power. Or, even if a replica were forcibly created despite its hardware limitations, where could he find a second "God" to serve as an energy output port for this terrifyingly energy-consuming weapon? Not everyone can use their own body as an energy output port.

Based on this idea, Lin Yi ultimately designed a weakened and modified version of the graviton emission device and embedded it into Eve's highest-level authority core in the form of code. This is the original source of the third-level code "Spirit Heart Heavy Cannon".

Unlike the Graviton Emission Device, which has an extremely limited attack range, the Spirit Heart Cannon was designed to annihilate units over a large area. Therefore, in terms of projection range, it can easily be used as a map-wide cannon, even against a mere two relatively close Heroic Spirits, provided there is enough energy support and Eve's body can withstand it.

The only problem is that Our Lady of the Rosary, as the point of energy output for her, simply cannot provide such a large amount of energy.

Essentially, the Rose Mother is just a special energy body born from the conversion of mechanical life into a core. Its main function is only to convert non-living matter into living matter. It is certainly enough to provide Eve with the energy she needs for her daily activities, but it is far from enough to be used as a source of energy for weapons.

This unresolved energy problem meant that even after the code for the "Spirit Heart Cannon" was embedded into Eve's highest-level access control system, it was never actually put into use. After all, doing so would mean a high probability of dangerous situations arising... including Eve's "death".

Lin Yi never believed that it was a given for anyone to make sacrifices for someone other than herself. All sacrifices should be repaid, just as all actions should be purposeful.

However, Eve's special circumstances caused Lin Yi to overlook this issue for a long time.

Just as she said, everything that constitutes the existence of "Eve"—from the Rose Mother as the energy core to this body that conforms to the concept of perfection, to all the codes and data in her central system, and the subjective will that was born from this combination, which may or may not be called a "soul," was all acquired and created by Lin Yi himself. From this perspective, "Eve" is not a "human" with an independent personality—just a creation of his own.

Humans have an unconditional right to control the things they create. Just like an article you write or a tool you develop, even if you destroy it the next moment, no one has the right to protest or appeal. In this context, should Eve be compensated for everything she has done for herself?

"code: Core charge"

The nearly depleted Rosa Mystica, operating at an almost exploitative pace, once again unleashed a massive amount of energy, even greater than during its most active period. So much so that the mere act of bearing this energy put the body under strain. Just as the dense, dark blue energy circuits began to turn deep red, an overlapping energy field, more than a meter in diameter and composed of triangles, circles, and rhombuses, appeared in front of the girl's raised palm, and the surging energy poured into it.

"energy compression"

As the light of the energy field intensified, the light of the Rosary on her forehead dimmed slightly. When the last bit of energy in her body was squeezed into it as a compressible material, an almost inaudible cracking sound rang out.

"...annihilate"

Until the very end, there was only silence.

This is the third time I've encountered this job agency—Lancer.

With almost no thought involved, Saber relied solely on her A-level intuition to fight the third Lancer, doing everything she could to ignore the presence of Archer behind him.

The one-on-one fight is already at a stalemate; if the Archer's presence prevents them from unleashing their full power, defeat is only a matter of time.

When that time comes, she will naturally withdraw from the Holy Grail War, not only because her wish cannot be fulfilled, but also because she cannot protect those she wants to protect—

【Saber, in the name of the Command Spell, I command you—stop Lancer.】

"—!"

The sudden surge of magic power within his body startled the swordsman. Before he could think, he channeled the magic power into a tangible strike that landed on the Lancer's weapon, which showed a look of surprise on his face.

“clang——————”

The anomalies had not yet ceased. Just as Saber was planning to use the amplification of the Command Seals to quickly eliminate Lancer and then deal with Archer, the second Command Seal from the Magician was issued in a way that none of the three Servants expected.

【Saber, in the name of the Command Spell, I command you—attack Archer.】

"——!!!"

The magic, defying its own will, drew the blade toward the archer who was merely watching from afar. Naturally, it failed to achieve any result, only being blocked by the barrage of Gate of Babylon under the archer's furious gaze.

"boom------"

"You really dare to do this, you hyena behind the scenes. I have to admit you've successfully enraged me. This sin is unforgivable, even if I kill you ten thousand times!"

Having clearly pinpointed the direction of the magical energy fluctuations, Archer turned the Gate of Babylon around, and with a sharp whistling sound as the Noble Phantasm ripped through the air, it struck the magician's location without any doubt.

Noticing the magician's aura rapidly dissipating, the Hero King, with a cold snort, was about to deliver the final blow when a dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky five kilometers away—

“code”

They searched for the direction of the anomaly and tried to find the source of the blazing light, but apart from the blinding light, they couldn't see anything at all.

"annihilate"

Within 0.1 seconds, the energy squeezed from inside the Rose Mother passed through the first energy field—its function was to amplify.

Within 0.2 seconds, the amplified energy passes through a second energy field—its function is to diffuse.

Within 0.3 seconds, the amplified energy diffuses through a third energy field—its function is to lock in place.

At 0.4 seconds, the energy erupting from the target, based on the principle of a graviton emission device, annihilated all tangible and intangible matter along its path due to the overlapping and progressive nature of the internal particles. It traversed a distance of five kilometers at a speed almost equivalent to being projected in a vacuum, reaching the target and the ground within a 20-meter diameter area.

In 0.5 seconds, the light vanished.

The girl, deprived of her core energy source, plummeted to the ground under gravity, the air thick with a pungent odor. Standing on the edge of this twenty-meter-wide, bottomless "cave," the swordsman, after a brief moment of stunned silence, quickly recovered—

"Caster!"

Magical Mysteries: Chapter 186 - An Unsuccessful Plan

The operation was a success.

At the cost of consuming a creation, they eliminated two Heroic Spirits who were originally far more powerful than themselves in one fell swoop, making an indelible and enormous contribution to their three days of perseverance. This should have been a fairly correct and efficient decision, however…

"How is it going?"

[Link interrupted, unable to capture specific information about codename: Eve]

Rubbing his temples, Lin Yi forcibly suppressed this "incorrect" emotion deep within his heart. With the unexpected situation of the connection with Eve being severed, Lin Yi had no choice but to consider the order of his next actions.

To put it bluntly, the question is whether this "plan," which has reached its most critical moment in World Ten, should continue.

Without Eve as the observation medium, Lin Yi is like a blind man to the current World Ten. Apart from the intermittent information coming from the "Terminator", the only way to maintain basic contact is through the magical communicator in Kiritsugu Emiya's hand. However, their positions mean that they can never fully trust each other. Under these circumstances, it is almost impossible to continue the plan unless a "Heroic Spirit" who can intervene in place of Eve is summoned into the world, and it cannot be a disposable item like a magical device.

"God, activate the reincarnator's attribute that is currently the most enhanced."

Power: 121

Constitution: 150

Agility: 110

Spirit: 51

A Reincarnator with an average enhancement coefficient of 100 in all four stats is undeniably strong; in a low-activity world like Zero, he'd be practically a mini-Superman. However, in this medium-activity magical world, he's far inferior, unable to even defeat the weakest Heroic Spirits, let alone those with their various class abilities and Noble Phantasms. Throwing him in would be utterly pointless, except perhaps a suicide mission. And Lin Yi doesn't have a second Chosen One besides Eve…

"Should we give up...?"

So much time and energy was wasted, with reincarnators gathering intelligence and the only "mechanical life" at hand being used up, and now at this final moment, they want to give up?

"How could I possibly give up! God, issue a side quest to the designated reincarnator—"

The "war" has temporarily ceased, but the turmoil and aftershocks it caused are only just beginning to show their power.

The first to be affected are the ordinary people living in Fuyuki City. Having been used as bait for magic in the Holy Grail War for a long time, they know nothing about magic and magic. All they know is that the series of "military attacks" in the past two days, from the suburban castle that was bombed into ruins to the missile attacks near the center, all prove the accuracy of these reports.

Naturally, in order to avoid the people who had been reduced to "battlegrounds" fleeing Fuyuki City with their families, even the magicians, who were supposed to restrict the behavior of ordinary people, couldn't do much about it. After all, the impact of this disturbance was too great. Unless they were prepared to expose the existence of magic to ordinary people, it was impossible to easily solve the problem within the sealed-off Fuyuki City.

Choosing between the rules of the Holy Grail War and the mystique of magic that magicians can master, there is no room for hesitation for magicians. They simply let ordinary people unrelated to the Holy Grail War escape from the city, intending to deal with them after this Holy Grail War, which has inexplicably gone off track, ends. At present, the most important thing is still the situation inside Fuyuki City.

"Multiple Servants of the same class have appeared... Lancer, Berserker, Assassin, and Archer have all left the stage, Caster seems to have returned to the Throne of Heroes, but it also seems to be still there. At present, the only Servants that can be confirmed are Saber and Rider."

"In the early hours of the morning, Rider was fighting an unfamiliar Heroic Spirit near the ruins of Einzbern Castle. He is probably currently lying in wait due to excessive mana depletion."

"So, Saber is the final victor?"

"It's still uncertain... This Holy Grail War is too unusual. The Holy Grail has absorbed the magical power of more than ten Heroic Spirits so far. Nobody knows what it will become in the end."

"What's the situation with the three starter families?"

"The head of the Matou family was killed by an intruding Heroic Spirit during the Holy Grail War. The head of the Tohsaka family has left Fuyuki City because of Archer's departure. He seems to be planning to train his daughter to participate in the next Holy Grail War. The Einzbern mercenaries are still on the move... but the most noteworthy thing is the Caster's Master."

"Caster's master?"

“That’s right. He still hasn’t shown up, and we can’t even be sure if he’s in Fuyuki City at all.”

"How could one participate in the Holy Grail War if they weren't in Fuyuki City?"

"It's unclear, but there's no doubt that he's a destabilizing factor in this Holy Grail War."

"...Increase attention to him, and if necessary, send in apostles to eliminate him."

World No. 10, Fuyuki City.

Tell me everything.

After settling the unconscious Eve, the knight, having lost all patience, finally gave up thinking and pointed his sword directly at the magician assassin who appeared before him: "The person I swore to protect is Irisviel, not your name—Emiya Kiritsugu. If you refuse to answer, I will kill you, even if it means losing my right to obtain the Holy Grail."

The magician assassin, who saw the girl's determination in her eyes, hesitated for only a moment before having to speak as the invisible blade drew a short distance closer: "To obtain the complete Holy Grail."

"The complete... Holy Grail?"

What followed was none other than Lin Yi's "holy grail" theory.

"...So, all the summoned Heroic Spirits are not qualified to make a wish on the Holy Grail, but are only summoned as 'nutrients' to nurture the Holy Grail?"

Her trembling voice revealed the vulnerability a young girl should have for the first time, but it was quickly replaced by another kind of firmness: "Does Caster's master know about these things?"

"..."

"answer me!"

"These are all things he told me, including the plan to summon new Heroic Spirits and then kill them."

Removing the walkie-talkie from his collar, Kiritsugu Emiya said in a wooden tone, "If you have any other questions, you can ask him yourself."

Two minutes later.

"Is this okay?"

"The plan is almost complete, and we need to be wary of more than just our 'enemies' now."

Mai, who emerged from behind, was taken aback upon hearing this: "You mean, Caster?"

“Castle is irrelevant. Saber could easily kill her now. Ask him if he is the magician behind Caster… Saber will definitely go back to him given her past behavior. Finding his exact location is enough.”

"I understand. I'll keep an eye on Saber's whereabouts and Irisviel's condition..."

"...These are all necessary in order to obtain the final Holy Grail."
