Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? Book 6: Chapter 71:1: The Various Uses of the All the World’

Luo Li always felt that using the Holy Grail to restore Chen Hengs mories was a bit dubious. She wanted to enhance its capabilities but couldnt modify it because it was ant for Chen Hengs use. She found this quite frustrating.

To be honest, Luo Li had so knowledge about Holy Grails due to her system. In her pursuit of points and other rewards, she had transmigrated, dealt with reincarnators, and collected nurous items, including Holy Grails. She had disassembled Holy Grails of different models and beco quite skilled at it.

However, she considered a Holy Grail rather unremarkable unless it served the purpose of reviving Chen Heng; that was the sa for everything else. She had a low opinion of the all-powerful Holy Grails, which she eventually handed over to the system to get consolation prizes.

Luo Li knew that Chen Heng didnt have many points to his na, but she couldnt just offer hers. She didnt want Chen Heng to feel like he was freeloading off her.

Changing the scene

Archer Group:

Within the Tohsaka residence, Tohsaka Tokiomi paced back and forth in the hall, contemplating Gilgashs words. Gilgash was the King of Heroes, with the Noble Phantasm known as Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star. He had to take Gilgashs words seriously because of that Noble Phantasm. Occasionally, he glanced at the three Command Spells on the back of his hand.

anwhile, Gilgash was at Kotomine Kireis place, indulging in so wine. He was quite intrigued by Kotomine Kirei, especially after using Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star.

Initially, Gilgash had sealed this Noble Phantasm upon his summoning, but due to the unexpected twist in the first Holy Grail Carnival ga, courtesy of Ryougi Shiki (Root), he decided to use it once.

Rule Eight: Cheating during the ga will lead to defeat when discovered.

In other words, as long as you didnt get caught, cheating was fair ga, right?

Gilgash was too proud to cheat during the ga, but he couldnt tolerate others, especially enemies, cheating. He managed to restrain himself from confronting Root, a decision born out of prudence. Therefore, he simply observed and thought, Whatever pleases you.

Gilgash was arrogant, but he was no fool or brute. As for confronting Roothe had given up hope of victory after using Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star once.

Why Root had personally intervened remained a mystery.

Evaluation: The Archer group was unique among the groups. Both Master and Servant harbored intentions of eliminating each other, making their compatibility disastrous. Tohsaka Tokiomi had summoned Gilgash, whom he greatly respected but also intended to eliminate by forcing Gilgash to commit suicide. This was because Tohsaka Tokiomi wanted to enter Root. Therefore, dont take Tohsaka Tokiomis respect for Gilgash at face valuehe still wanted to kill Gilgash.

Gilgash went without saying. Having used Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star once, he was fully aware of Tohsaka Tokiomis intention to eliminate him. If it werent for the entertaining act of regicide, he would have taken matters into his own hands long ago. As for Tohsaka Rin, she was just another re:lifer, nothing particularly extraordinary. With the Root and that individual called Luo Li in play, the rest of them Well, Gilgash wasnt one to boast, but apart from that Archer on the opposing side, he considered everyone else present to be rather lackluster.

Saber group:

Due to the Holy Grail Carnival taking place during the day and the many eyes on them, not even Emiya Kiritsugu had considered a major dayti operation. However, preparations could be made in advance.

Jeanne dArc had already communicated the Holy Grails situation to the various Masters, including the fact that they would need to wait three days before making their official wish, along with dealing with the All the Worlds Evils in advance. Although Emiya Kiritsugu had reservations about the latter, suspecting that Ruler was involved with the opposing side, and despite the Holy Grail appearing unproblematic from his perspective (since no one could see the All the Worlds Evils due to their angles), the fact remained that they had to wait three days before making their wish.

Saber, at this mont, was indulging in a hearty al. According to her, warriors couldnt afford to go hungry on the battlefield. In simpler terms, it was because they didnt know if they would win, so they didnt want to starve and die like a fool. On the other hand, Irisviel von Einzbern watched King Arthur eat.

Emiya Kiritsugu and his mistress, Hisau Maiya, were engaged in pre-battle preparations. Make no mistake; it was serious business, focusing on maintaining their weapons. Emiya Kiritsugu was loading Origin Bullets into his beloved firearm, while Hisau Maiya inspected other items like submachine guns and grenades.

[TL Note: Heres more information about Hisau Maiya: /wiki/Maiya_Hisau.]

[TL Note: Origin Bullets are special Conceptual Weapons containing parts of Emiya Kiritsugus soul that utilize his Origin of Severing and Binding to its fullest extent by actualizing it within a target. You can read more about it here: /wiki/Kiritsugu_Emiya#Thompson_Contender.]

Although it wasnt a wise choice to snatch the Holy Grail away at this mont, it didnt hurt for Emiya Kiritsugu to scout the situation and gather information. After all, knowing ones enemy was essential for victory.

Evaluation: Since there hadnt been a genuine Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu and King Arthurs relationship, though strained, hadnt reached the point of rupture. Furthermore, despite their rocky relationship, King Arthur got along well with Emiya Kiritsugus wife.

Lancer group:

Kayneth was actively preparing. Even though the Holy Grail was currently in the hands of the black side, there was no rule against snatching it. Besides, that botherso Ruler had already departed. Kayneth had no intention of admitting defeat in this Holy Grail Carnival. In his view, the reason they had failed in the ga was solely due to their own Servants incompetence, not his.

Butwhat annoyed Kayneth most was seeing his fiance daydreaming. Lancer!

Evaluation: The misfortune of this group stemd from Kayneths fiance. Why involve her when he could handle it himself? And why make her responsible for the mana supply? On the bright side, Lancer didnt need to commit suicide anymore, a reason for celebration.

Rider group:

This group had decided to hold their position for the ti being. It was because Iskandar had engaged Luo Li head-on in that ga of international chess. Iskandar had unleashed his Noble Phantasm, buthe still got decapitated. Iskandar couldnt fathom how he had t his end.

Hence, they chose caution and let others scout ahead. The most critical objective now was to execute their grand strategy before the Holy Grail War ca to an end. What if they ended up losing?

Evaluation: The combination of the King of Conquerors and his queen has surprisingly good synergy. If not for Gilgashs presence in the actual Holy Grail War, this groups chances of success would have been quite high.

[TL Note: The King of Conquerors refers to Iskandar, also known as Alexander the Great. As for the queen, that is not referring to Iskandars wife but to Zhuge Liang, a Heroic Spirit. This results in Waver being a Pseudo-Servant. Im not sure if it happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War, but Zhuge Liang possesses Waver. Zhuge Liang was an ancient Chinese politician and a master strategist. Here is more information about Zhuge Liang: /wiki/Zhuge_Liang.]
