Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

Page 238

"The truth about this world."

Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru say this, Weber's brows furrowed slightly.

But both Kanzaki Teru's tone, which carried no hint of a joke, and his determined gaze told us that he was not joking.

Chapter 395: Peace Amidst Chaos

Why would you want to pursue something like this? And what good would knowing the answer do?

"That's what happens next. This is my goal now, so I hope you can tell me everything you know."

His tone was firm, without the slightest hint of confusion; even Weber was somewhat envious of Kanzaki Hikaru.

"Alright, but this isn't the place to talk. Come with me."

......

"But before that, I want to tell you that this is all just my speculation, and there is no clear evidence to prove it."

And it's not that I don't want to prove these things; it's more that I lack the ability to prove these conjectures.

Sitting in the dimly lit room, Weber pulled out a stool and sat down.

Despite its outward appearance being quite glamorous, the room contained only a single kerosene lamp.

It's difficult to light up this room. Although it's daytime, the room is completely dark, without even a single window.

But that's to be expected, considering this place is thirty-three floors underground.

"It's okay, even so, it can still provide me with a lot of help."

"Alright, in that case..."

Weber placed a cup of black tea in front of Kanzaki Hikaru, and then poured himself a cup as well.

I took a small sip, and a rich, mellow aroma spread throughout my body down my throat.

"I think this world is very strange."

"strangeness?"

Although Kanzaki also had the same idea, there were just too many strange things about it, and even though Weber said it, Kanzaki couldn't understand what he meant.

"This world gives me the feeling of being extremely chaotic, or rather, extremely orderly."

"What does it mean?"

Weber used both contrasting terms: "utterly chaotic, yet utterly orderly."

"Magic, superpowers, magic... there are all sorts of different kinds of abilities in this world."

And that's not all; this world also has all sorts of monsters with physical abilities far exceeding those of normal people.

"With so many extraordinary beings existing in the world, isn't it strange that the world is so peaceful?"

"Ah, I see."

Hearing Weber say this, Kanzaki Teru finally understood what Weber meant by "strange".

"With so many abnormal beings existing, I wouldn't be surprised if this world were destroyed. I've also seen many monsters whose strength is beyond human imagination."

While this world cannot be described as entirely peaceful, it is certainly not chaotic either.

Just as he said, the number of aberrant individuals known to Kanzaki Teru alone is too many to count on two hands.

Moreover, there must be other beings in this world that he doesn't know about. In such a chaotic world, peace is maintained, which is an extremely strange thing no matter how you look at it.

"So I wonder if there is something like a manager in this world, constantly maintaining the balance in all aspects, which is why we have such a peaceful world."

·· ···Request flowers······

This idea is absolutely correct; Kanzaki Teru had also considered the same question before.

If there is a more powerful entity managing different kinds of people, then the current situation is not impossible.

Whether it's this world or anything else, if there really is an existence that is difficult for ordinary people to understand that is maintaining the balance of this world, then Kanzaki Hikaru's current goal is already very clear.

"Based on this idea, I wanted to see if there really was such a thing as a manager."

........ ..... 0

After all, if they want to guide the world into such a delicate balance, it will inevitably have some impact on the world...

Although he said that, Kanzaki Teru could roughly guess how things would turn out just by looking at Weber's expression.

"Failed?"

"Not entirely, but the problems we encountered were more serious than I had imagined."

His expression gradually became serious, and deep in Weber's eyes seemed to be a hint of fear, and beneath that fear, a hint of confusion.

"After all, I am a magician myself, so I started from my perspective. But after investigating everything I could reach, I didn't find anything unusual."

Kanzaki Teru had anticipated this outcome, as he had been investigating for several years without success.

Webber's idea, based on his own magical abilities, is not bad, but given the nature of this matter, the other party certainly wouldn't easily reveal their hand.

Chapter 396: Another Holy Grail War

"When I was at my wit's end, I even thought my guess was wrong. Then something unexpected happened, and it even shocked the Magicians' Association."

Weber reached into his pocket and pulled out a card imbued with magic.

"what is this?"

When Kanzaki Teru saw the card, a sense of danger rose in his heart.

"We don't know what this is either. Even with all the resources of the Magicians' Association, we couldn't decipher the spell on this card."

He placed the card in front of Kanzaki Teru, indicating that "850" should also take a look at the card.

Kanzaki Teru didn't refuse and simply picked up the card.

Feeling the power flowing from his fingertips to his entire body, Kanzaki Teru was amazed by the complexity and ingenuity of the spell constructed within the card.

"This card possesses extraordinary power; using it can even allow the power of a heroic spirit to temporarily reside within oneself."

With a somewhat solemn expression, Kanzaki Teru could sense that what Waver was about to say was extremely important.

“These cards have different ranks, just like the Holy Grail War.”

"The Holy Grail War!? This really isn't just a rumor..."

Kanzaki Teru had anticipated hearing the words he uttered.

Although he had expected it, he was still somewhat surprised when Webber actually said it himself.

"So you really knew?"

"After all, I've heard that in Fuyuki City, a huge ceremony is held every few years, and the final winner gets to make a wish."

Although Kanzaki Teru initially thought it was just a dubious rumor, he has seen more people and experienced more things.

He gradually came to believe the truth of the matter, after all, there's no smoke without fire.

As his investigation deepened, he also discovered various strange situations in that city.

Although they all had relatively normal and ordinary explanations, in Kanzaki Teru's eyes, they were simply a disguise by certain people.

After all, Fuyuki City experiences large-scale disasters at certain times, and it's hard to imagine that such a frequency is simply due to ordinary accidents.

However, Kanzaki Teru was unable to obtain any more information, since these were all past reports and he had no way to personally verify their authenticity.

However, Weber has now openly brought this up, which has surprised even Kanzaki Teru.

After all, this matter must be considered quite confidential, otherwise the information blockade wouldn't have been so thorough.

But now Weber has easily revealed this matter, leaving Kanzaki Teru with a question in his mind.

After all, no one would do something for no reason; the other party must have something in mind when revealing this information.

With this in mind, Kanzaki Teru continued to listen attentively to Weber's words.

"That's right. The Holy Grail War is actually about summoning Heroic Spirits to the modern era to fight. The victor can obtain the Holy Grail and have any wish granted. It is held every sixty years."

"This sounds so suspicious!"

"From an outsider's perspective, that's certainly true, but that's not the key point I want to make. What I really want to say is that the Holy Grail War completely stopped ten years ago..."

"It's stopped? Why?"

"Ten years ago, the Holy Grail was completely destroyed, and the Einzbern family also disappeared without a trace."

Therefore, the Holy Grail War can no longer be held, only in theory.

As he explained, Weber took out another scroll.

The record above details the events of the Holy Grail War, including not only the time each event occurred but also its final outcome.

"You mean theoretically?!?"

Looking at the card placed on the table, Kanzaki Teru already knew the answer.

"That's right. In theory, the Holy Grail War can only be held with the participation of the Einzbern family."

However, the cards that have appeared now are from ranks that only appear in the Holy Grail War, so it's possible that someone is holding a different form of the Holy Grail War elsewhere.

"Although I don't know much about this, is the Holy Grail War something that can be held so easily? And what exactly is the Holy Grail?"

Upon hearing Kanzaki Hikaru's question, Weber could only sigh deeply.

"First of all, the conditions for holding the Holy Grail War are extremely demanding, which is why it can only be held once every sixty years."

Weber stood up from the stool and walked to a corner.

Although the room was dimly lit, Kanzaki Teru was skilled at moving around in the dark, so he wasn't bothered by it.

Chapter 397: Strengthening

On the walls of this room were many magic formulas, though Kanzaki Teru couldn't quite understand their contents.

However, this is definitely not something that can be shown to ordinary people, a fact that Kanzaki Teru clearly understood even though Weber didn't say it.

However, this also demonstrates the other party's sincerity and unconditional trust in Kanzaki Teru.

Although this trust was somewhat heavy, Kanzaki Teru was still somewhat happy, provided that the other party didn't try anything funny.

"There are a few things that must be done in order to hold the Holy Grail War. One of them is to prepare the magic spell to summon the Greater Grail."
