"Violet."
"Begin the analysis."
Rin called Violet, who used her authority to connect to the Root of Type-Moon through the power of the Cardinal World's rules.
Beside Rin, Irisviel's body was also summoned.
The woman closed her eyes, as if asleep, incredibly peaceful.
"Irisviel!"
Artoria stepped forward to check and found that Irisviel was still unconscious.
This made her quite worried, not knowing what to do.
"Her soul is still within All the World's Evil."
"We must first release the black mud."
Rin also coveted All the World's Evil.
Bounded Field, Heroic Spirit Noble Phantasm.
Rin had successively obtained these two major ability systems.
To some extent, his journey this time could be considered complete.
But who would ever think they had too much money?
All the World's Evil was right in front of him.
And Rin had Irisviel, the lesser Holy Grail, as a vessel.
According to Violet's explanation, she could use Irisviel to save her soul while simultaneously establishing a connection with another soul.
Through her, Rin had a high probability of obtaining the power of All the World's Evil as well.
"Is there anything I can do?"
Artoria had already taken on the role of Rin's guardian knight.
"Just stand guard."
Rin shrugged, then found a place to sit in the ruins: "Not just you, there's nothing I can do either."
"Unsettling…"
Artoria spoke her true thoughts.
"Leave it to Violet."
"…"
Artoria was a bit embarrassed.
She really wanted to show off her abilities.
But, looking at Ogerpon, and the approximately fifty or sixty Ogres.
Was there really a place for her here?
Artoria felt that she seemed a bit redundant.
For some reason, Artoria began to worry about her future life.
How could such a weak self help Rin?
Rin didn't know what Artoria was thinking. He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact, he had been paying attention to Violet's situation.
"Master!"
Soon after, Violet suddenly spoke: "The connection has been established. Shall I awaken the other party's consciousness?"
"Awaken her."
"Then, help me connect."
With that, Rin began to immerse his mind.
Gradually, his consciousness, guided by the Soul Corridor constructed by Violet, entered a hazy darkness.
"This is…"
What entered Rin's sight was boundless darkness.
Only countless small mountains of naked women were densely scattered throughout this world.
"Are they Einzbern's homunculi?"
Rin had seen this scene in the anime.
After the Holy Maiden of Winter, the Einzbern family began to continuously create homunculi.
What was now displayed before Rin was the tragic manifestation of this homunculus race.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, while Rin was in a daze, a clear, ethereal voice came from behind him.
Rin turned around.
He saw a beautiful woman with red eyes, silver hair, and dressed in the Robe of Heaven.
Her appearance was almost identical to Irisviel's.
However, their temperaments were vastly different.
Compared to Irisviel, who was like a big sister next door.
The woman in front of him was like a saint far removed from the mundane world, untouched by earthly desires.
"Justeaze von Einzbern?"
"Who are you?"
Justeaze blinked, her consciousness somewhat hazy.
"My name is Itoshi Rin."
"Also, do you remember who you are?"
"Me?"
"I am…"
Justeaze was a bit lost. She didn't know where she was or what she was supposed to do here.
Her gaze shifted, and Justeaze saw the mountains of flesh.
She didn't show any fear.
Instead, as if she had thought of something, she nodded knowingly.
"So that's it, this is the world within the Greater Holy Grail?"
Justeaze finally remembered her identity and her last memories of sacrificing herself: "So, you succeeded?"
"No, it failed."
Rin came here not for the Holy Grail War or to explore the Third Magic.
His purpose was clear, the woman in front of him.
"It's more convenient for you to see for yourself than for me to explain."
Rin extracted a wisp of memory, condensed it into a blue orb of light, and handed it to Justeaze.
"Mm."
Justeaze did not refuse or suspect.
She was already dead, and her body had transformed into the magic circuit of the Greater Holy Grail, so what was there to worry about?
How could it get any worse than it was now?
Moreover, if Rin hadn't appeared here, her personality and soul would still be immersed in the Greater Holy Grail, making it impossible for her to awaken.
This alone was enough for Justeaze to thank Rin.
"Is that so?"
"Two hundred years have passed."
"To achieve the Third Magic, they, and them."
"Everyone…"
"Is such a price truly worth it?"
For mages, the Third Magic meant obtaining immense magical power and a path to immortality.
The predecessor of the Einzbern family was a magic workshop founded by the disciples of a Third Magician.
They used special techniques to create Justeaze.
And she was the symbol of the Third Magic.
Immortal and possessing immense magical power.
However, Justeaze's miracle could not be replicated in others.
In other words, only Justeaze was immortal.
As for other mages, if they wanted to achieve immortality, they could only continue to explore and research.
"Again and again, year after year."
"Too many people have wasted their lives for this, too many people have sacrificed for this."
Justeaze didn't know what to do.
To stop it, or something else...
She didn't know.
The only thing Justeaze could do was listen to everyone's desires.
