A woman might be fragile, but as a mother, she is strong.
Irisviel had successively suffered betrayal from her family and husband.
Now, only Ilya could illuminate her world and warm her heart.
"Saber, there's something I want to ask of you."
"Regarding Kiritsugu... I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"Okay."
What else could Artoria say? Of course, she would go along with Irisviel.
A knight's virtue is honesty.
But for Irisviel, she could only remain silent.
Watching their interaction, Rin had a strange sense of déjà vu: "So, Irisviel is the mother, Artoria is the father, and Ilya is the daughter?"
Although it felt a bit out of place.
For some reason, Rin found this setting quite interesting.
"Rin, can we go find Ilya first?"
"Oh, yes."
Rin smiled, "You don't need to mind me, I'll just look around casually."
After this period of interaction and Artoria's relay, Irisviel had come to understand Rin's character.
He was a remarkably gentle and benevolent.
As long as you didn't offend him, Rin would be quite easy to talk to.
"This way, Saber!"
"Ilya!"
So, very quickly, Irisviel found Ilya in the castle.
The girl was currently sleeping on the bed.
Suddenly awakened, Ilya opened her eyes and then saw her mother.
"Mommy!!"
Ilya joyfully threw herself into Irisviel's arms.
One big, one small, two white-haired, red-eyed girls.
Rin didn't speak but quietly watched this heartwarming scene.
However, Rin soon left.
Rin didn't intend to disturb the mother and daughter's reunion.
If he wasn't mistaken, Irisviel would definitely pin the blame on Kiritsugu, causing her daughter to hate her irresponsible father.
Rin had no obligation to interfere with this.
He found a place to sit down, quietly waiting for Justeaze's return.
"Have you finished counting?"
Soon after, Justeaze returned.
Along with her returned a group of white-haired, red-eyed maidens with elven beauty.
They wore long white dresses, some dressed as maids or servants.
They were the artificial humans responsible for the maintenance of Einzbern.
"Yes."
Soon after, Justeaze said, "Excluding the puppets that completely lack reason, there are still over 30 children in the castle."
Rin had no prejudice against artificial humans.
As long as an individual possessed a soul, in Rin's view, they should be treated as living beings.
"And the souls sinking in All the World's Evil."
Justeaze said, "Excluding some who have completely lost their reason and can only be put into reincarnation."
"The remaining, about 400-plus people, I want them to start anew as new individuals of the Einzbern."
Of course, "new individuals" here certainly didn't mean normal human reproduction and growth.
Instead, like the maids, they would directly obtain adult forms through artificial human technology.
"They are all very excellent children and can provide you with excellent service."
Listening to Justeaze's slightly ambiguous words, Rin's mouth twitched slightly.
Fortunately, he knew Justeaze didn't mean it that way.
Justeaze wanted Rin to become the new head of Einzbern.
"Alright, whatever makes you happy."
Rin didn't refuse Justeaze's kindness, he led people out of the castle, then unfolded his Bounded Field.
The next moment, the entire castle, along with the surrounding forest and snowy ground, disappeared, absorbed into Rin's world.
"Violet."
"Please command."
"Return!"
After dealing with everything, Rin gave the command to return.
Thus, starting from the Starfang wolves and Ogres, then to the castle and materials within the Bounded Field, as well as Artoria, Justeaze, and others.
Finally, even Rin himself dissipated into particles within a beam of light.
Up to this point, Rin's plan to descend into the Type-Moon World and participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War was a complete success.
[Void Gate has entered cooldown, cooldown duration is seven days]
[Starting to tally the rules gained from this transcendence]
[Tallying...]
[Tallying complete]
[Acquired new information 'Heroic Spirit', now integrated with the Cardinal World concepts of 'Fairy', 'Monster', 'Angel']
[Parallel creation successful, acquired new race 'Holy Spirit']
[Acquired Unique Skill 'Valhalla']
[Acquired new information 'Bounded Field', already integrated into 'Void Gate' related abilities]
[Integration successful, Unique Skill 'Void Gate' evolved into 'Void Ark']
[Acquired new information 'Noble Phantasm', upon retrieval, discovered Cardinal World knowledge related to 'Magic Tools', 'Magic Equipment', 'Divine Artifacts']
[Starting integration...]
[Integration complete, acquired Unique Skill 'Original Treasure Vault']
Because the form of this transcendence was different from any previous one...
Rin only needed to open his eyes to receive the Voice of the World's gift.
"Heroic Spirit, Bounded Field, Noble Phantasm."
"Were these three judged as new information by the Voice of the World?"
So-called new information can be understood as entirely new rule power.
[Special concept discovered, beginning analysis]
[After analysis, acquired special ability 'All the World's Evil', beginning transformation...]
[Transformation successful, acquired incomplete Ultimate Skill 'King of the End']
"Hoh!!!"
If the three Unique Skills obtained earlier could still be called surprises.
Then when "King of the End" appeared, Rin was truly shocked.
One must know, this was an ultimate authority.
Although it was still incomplete, it was still an Ultimate Skill!
What is an Ultimate Skill?
Simply put, the difference between a Demon Lord Seed and a True Demon Lord is the qualitative and quantitative change of magicules.
Then the difference between True Demon Lords lies in Ultimate Skills.
Ultimate Skills can be said to be the benchmark for measuring the strength of True Demon Lords.
A True Demon Lord with an Ultimate Skill and a True Demon Lord without an Ultimate Skill are completely two different species.
And now...
"Am I already capable of rivaling a True Demon Lord?"
Rin suddenly had this thought, but fortunately, he quickly suppressed it.
"It's just an incomplete Ultimate Skill."
"Didn't Rimuru awaken several Ultimate Skills later and still develop discreetly?"
There are also differences between Ultimate Skills.
Like Milim's Lord of Wrath.
Although there is a risk of losing control, she can infinitely increase her strength until she annihilates the entire world.
That is truly terrifying.
