"What exactly does 'Holy Spirit' refer to?"
"Special life forms born from the beliefs, memories, thoughts, and cognition of living beings, accumulating a large amount of magicules."
Violet explained: "The three great spiritual beings restrain each other, Elementals restrain Demonic species, Demonic species restrain Angels, and Angels restrain Elementals."
"And Holy Spirits, in this network of relationships, hold a neutral position, they neither restrain any race nor are they restrained by the three races."
If Elementals, Demonic species, and Angels are likened to the three points of an equilateral triangle.
Then the Holy Spirit is the center of this triangle, the apex that the concept of humanity can reach.
"The Star King Dragon created the world, first creating the spiritual world, and then the material world came into being."
From this perspective, spiritual beings are even older than the concept of matter.
Similar to, consciousness came first, then matter.
"But Heroic Spirits are precisely the opposite."
The emergence of Heroic Spirits signifies the beginning of matter determining consciousness.
People's cognition and thoughts gave birth to the Spirit Core of Heroic Spirits, which is equivalent to the material world creating the spiritual life form of Heroic Spirits.
Yes, not Holy Spirits, but Heroic Spirits.
Holy Spirits cannot be created by humans.
This is a brand-new experience that Rin brought to the Cardinal World by analyzing the Type-Moon World.
If you really want to say who created the Holy Spirits, that could only be Rin.
Because it was he who brought Artoria to this world.
"Human delusions will affect Heroic Spirits…"
"What about Artoria?"
Rin asked, "Will the humans of this world have any negative impact on her?"
For some reason, Rin thought of certain adult scenarios.
Humans add settings to fictional characters, and then forcefully turn them into sexual deviants.
After all, according to Violet, matter determines consciousness.
Wouldn't that be like an anime Rin watched called Re:Creators, where Heroic Spirits would be limited by the cognition of mortals?
"No, they won't."
Violet: "The birth of Heroic Spirits is only related to cognition at the very beginning."
This is fundamentally different from the characters in Re:Creators.
"Once Heroic Spirits descend, they are truly existing life forms and will no longer be constrained by the thoughts of others."
So Rin doesn't need to worry that Artoria will be corrupted by human beliefs.
Leaving aside that Artoria comes from another world, even the Heroic Spirits born in the Cardinal World are fixed once they descend and are almost impossible to change.
"Wait a minute."
"Violet, do you mean that it's not just Artoria? Other people, as long as they meet the conditions, can also create new Heroic Spirits by gathering the faith of the populace?"
"Yes."
Violet: "Artoria has already become the origin and progenitor of all future Heroic Spirits, the King of Holy Spirits."
Since the concept of Heroic Spirits has already been brought to the Cardinal World by Artoria.
This means that Heroic Spirit summoning is shared by everyone.
As long as one's ability is sufficient, anyone can create Heroic Spirits.
"Can any kind of Heroic Spirit be molded?"
"Theoretically, yes."
Violet: "However, it requires a certain degree of legendary fame, sufficient human faith, and a huge amount of magicules."
Among these three, magicules is the most crucial.
If there are insufficient magicules, even if you imagine a god, it would just be a superficial imitation.
"Moreover, the same legend can give birth to more than one Heroic Spirit."
Take a certain country as an example.
Suppose a legend of a certain hero is widely circulated in the country.
Then this legend will become the medium for summoning Heroic Spirits, that is, the legendary story.
"But this is not resurrection."
Violet added, "The summoned Heroic Spirits are created from nothing by people and have nothing to do with the original heroes."
"Even if one Heroic Spirit has already appeared, a second and third can still be summoned."
"These people may have similar personalities, similar appearances."
"Or they may be completely different."
"For example, some King Arthur are male, while others are female."
When Violet said this, Artoria clearly wanted to say something.
However, Violet's emotionless face was too imposing.
"Rather than calling them Heroic Spirits, it's better to say they are a family of Heroic Spirits who inherited the same name."
Of course, such a thing would not happen to Artoria.
She is unique.
All possibilities will be personally controlled by her as part of the Knights of the Round Table.
As for other Heroic Spirits, as long as they can complete the evolution from Heroic Spirit to Holy Spirit, they can integrate all legends and become a unique existence.
"Holy Spirits are the superior form of Heroic Spirits."
"The difference between the two is like that between a Demon Lord and an ordinary monster, there is an insurmountable chasm."
In summary, Rin brought a brand-new power system to the Cardinal World and even created a spiritual life form comparable to the three ancient races.
...
While Rin was communicating with Violet, Artoria was already overwhelmed by the massive amount of information.
The progenitor of Heroic Spirits, the King of Holy Spirits.
"Let me process this."
Artoria was still a bit confused.
She became stronger, then she became a King, and also the King of Holy Spirits and Heroic Spirits.
"Don't force yourself."
Rin patted Artoria's shoulder and said, "You just need to do what you like."
Artoria is Rin's person, it's impossible for her to go out and unify all Heroic Spirits.
Otherwise, the Cardinal World would probably give birth to another True Hero, and then establish a kingdom exclusive to Heroic Spirits and Holy Spirits.
"I understand."
Artoria looked at Rin gratefully: "By the way, Justeaze and Irisviel, they should also receive the Voice of the World's gift, right?"
"Justeaze definitely can."
"As for Irisviel, it's hard to say."
Having roughly understood Artoria's situation, Rin summoned Justeaze from the Bounded Field.
"Justeaze?"
"Rin!"
As soon as Justeaze appeared, she first bowed to Rin, then quickly surveyed her surroundings.
"Is this the new world?"
"What a rich magical energy!"
Justeaze immediately sensed the power of the Cardinal World.
