"Everyone, please open a path to the Holy Grail for me!"
Irisviel's eyes were firm as she looked from afar at the embryo that seemed to be the collection of all the world's evils. The eyes of this embryo were also all locked onto Irisviel's body. At this moment, only one of them could survive!
Aslan, of course, also saw the clothes Irisviel had changed into. He gave Melusine a look, asking her to handle things for a while. At the same time, using his connection with the Supreme Masterpiece, he had its "Hammer of Justice" once again aim at the location of the Greater Grail. After all, if he were to leave the battlefield, the pressure on the others would naturally multiply. Therefore, during this time, he had to reduce the pressure on the others as much as possible. Thus, the Supreme Masterpiece, which was like a celestial orbital weapon, was the best choice for providing support from high above. At the very least, his withdrawal would not cause the entire battle line to collapse. Of course, to some extent, as long as the Supreme Masterpiece was still outputting as a weapon, he hadn't completely withdrawn from the battlefield, had he?
Of course, if this Supreme Masterpiece, which was constantly outputting attacks from the distant sky, were to be detected by ground-based space observation stations or some satellites, and then someone were to make some assumptions... that would have nothing to do with Aslan. After all, it was launched from the Far East, and its design also had the style of a Far Eastern Gundam. If a certain "Bald Eagle" from the Far East's "foster father" were to make some assumptions, that would be the Far East's own business. Hehe~
Aslan landed in front of Kiritsugu. His intuition told him that the man before him had something to ask him. He had also roughly guessed what this man wanted to say to him. Aslan directly gave Merlin a look. "Merlin, you old bastard. Just interrogate this man according to your own ideas and in the way you're most skilled at."
As long as the man before him hadn't changed from the original world line, then the inner torment he would experience should not be too different from the torment All the World's Evils had given him. Although Merlin was not as evil as All the World's Evils, he was definitely mischievous enough.
Aslan just quietly waited for this man who wanted to save the world to make his own choice. It was nothing more than having him give up on this Holy Grail War. At worst, he could participate in the next one in 10 years. Of course, if Kiritsugu's wish was still world peace, then he would probably have to make a trip himself. Of course, it was still uncertain whether the participants of the next Holy Grail War would be the same original people.
However, although he was waiting, Aslan had already taken out the doll he had forged in his spare time these past few days from his Mystic Code. Of course, he hadn't used any particularly precious materials or too many Faerie Letters. It was just a doll that could house a person's consciousness and soul. At most, it could exist in this world for 100 years. Of course, 100 years was just the longest theoretical time. After all, one had to consider issues like wear and tear. And once a person's soul entered it, it could no longer be repaired like an ordinary object. Both ordinary cleaning and daily operation would affect its service life. But to be able to leave this world together with Kiritsugu should be a happy thing for Irisviel. After all, they were a married couple. At the same time, Kiritsugu was also Irisviel's first love.
That bastard Merlin, of course, perfectly completed Aslan's mission. Because Merlin "didn't understand the human heart," as long as he let go of his true nature and found the flaws in this man's heart, it was not a difficult matter. How should he put it? The more determined a man seemed, the more easily his heart might be shattered.
Before long, Kiritsugu clutched his chest, took a deep breath, and then knelt on the ground. Merlin also opened his own eyes and pursed his lips. This guy, having let go of his true nature, was still not satisfied with playing around.
Kiritsugu covered his face with his hands, then shook his head. Looking at the flowers blooming before him, he realized that he had already broken free from the illusion.
Looking at the legendary blacksmith before him, Kiritsugu did not hesitate and knelt directly before Aslan. "Please, save Iri. I will do anything you ask."
Aslan's lips curled into a smile. He took out a pre-prepared contract from his pocket. "Then withdraw from this Holy Grail War. I'm not asking you to commit suicide or anything. Just give up your right to compete for the Holy Grail. Of course, just this Holy Grail War. The next one, if you still want to participate, feel free."
Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment. He had not expected this person to be so easy to talk to. It was just a matter of giving up on this Holy Grail War. Good! I can do that!
Kiritsugu directly took the contract and pen that Aslan handed him and signed his name without hesitation.
Aslan nodded, then pressed Kiritsugu's shoulder. "Watch! Don't be surprised."
A large number of Faerie Letters emerged from the void, finally turning into one after another of small sprites. They drilled into Irisviel's body, directly pulling her soul out from this homunculus shell. They then stuffed this soul into the pre-prepared doll. The doll began to rapidly change, finally taking on the appearance of Irisviel.
Aslan's palm pulled at the empty space beside him. A piece of white cloth emerged from the void, draped over Irisviel's new body, and then quickly transformed into form-fitting clothes. Looking at the homunculus body being supported by the small sprites, Aslan took out another necklace and hung it on the homunculus's body.
Then, a crystal-like existence was handed by Aslan to Irisviel, who had just put on the doll's body. This was a device used to control her original body. The current Irisviel could completely use this device as if she were controlling a game character, controlling her original body to achieve the sacrifice. It was just that such a remote control was not very stable, so it was necessary to open a path to the Greater Grail. This was what Aslan needed to do. Although that half-bodied giant was constantly using Gilgamesh's Sword of Rupture to block everyone's advance, that was no big deal to him.
"Melusine! I'll open a path for you! Find a chance to use your power to destroy the Grail's shell!"
With that, Aslan charged directly towards the location of the Holy Grail. At the same time, a golden scabbard appeared at his waist.
