Irisviel controlled her original body, walking with dignity towards the Greater Grail. Perhaps because Irisviel had used this original body for a long time, although this homunculus's body was identical to that of the Winter Saint of the past, compared to the extremism of the Winter Saint just before her sacrifice, Irisviel's body was clearly much gentler.
At least at this moment, the sense of holiness on Irisviel's body far surpassed that of the Saint of the past. Even after such a long time had passed, Aslan's mind still held a few faint memories. Or rather, after such a long time, some characteristics of his past memories would be constantly amplified in his dreams. And the Winter Saint in his past memories, lying on the altar before turning into the Holy Grail, when she spoke those words about "all for the Root," that expression had been exaggeratedly amplified many times in his dreams.
To be honest, the first time he saw that expression on the Winter Saint, Aslan was a little disillusioned. No matter how you put it, before he had fully understood her, the Winter Saint was also one of his goddesses. But in the end, what kind of goddess was this? She was simply a madwoman who had walked into paranoia to achieve her own goals.
Where was the holiness? Where? Oh, the holiness was reflected in those holy clothes and their unattainable dream.
Irisviel's homunculus body, under her control, slowly lifted its own hands. The Dress of Heaven on her body emitted a white light. Without hesitation, Irisviel's homunculus body continued to walk forward. After all, she herself would no longer have any problems. Since that was the case, so what if she sacrificed her original body?
[The prophet cried out:]
[Open, Gate of Heaven, and grant us blessings and miracles!]
[The prophet cried out with regret:]
[Close, Gate of Heaven, and release us from sin and evil!]
[The curtain falls.]
[The golden age should end.]
[That distant dream, that distant hope... was a forbidden [Error] from the beginning.]
[The stars fall from the sky;]
[The firmament is the switch for nothingness;]
[The notes leading to the Root are covered with all our sins.]
[...Finally, I, filled with joy,]
[You (I) can finally be released from the suffering you have borne for so long,]
[Now, sleep peacefully.]
Although there was a cliff-like space on the path to the Greater Grail, Irisviel's homunculus body still resolutely took a step forward. It was as if she had stepped onto the surface of water. Golden ripples spread out to the surroundings, as if walking towards a realm of tranquility. And of course, it was so. As long as the Heaven's Feel was activated, all the evil at hand would be cleansed.
Irisviel's homunculus body completely turned into a golden light. The originally surging black sludge, under the illumination of this light, instantly turned into a stream of water that was golden yet revealed a hint of clarity. This stream was actually liquefied magical energy. And just how much massive magical energy would it take to make magical energy look like this? This was only the part that had overflowed from the Holy Grail. Not to mention, the magical energy inside the Holy Grail had not yet been consumed.
Aslan looked at this magical energy that had once again become pure and raised his hand. In his hand was another small bottle, like the one that held the island's power. Compared to the bottle in his hand that was stained with a hint of black and a fallen aura, the bottle he took out this time seemed more holy and exquisite. And indeed, compared to the island power that was full of destructive force back then, this pure magical energy now seemed even purer. After all, the attributes of the existences contained in the bottles were different; how could they look exactly the same? This pure magical energy was what Aslan had prepared to leave for Melusine. After all, in the battle this time, Melusine had probably used up all the island power she had collected last time. What he possessed was not an endless supply of island power either.
Although he could go and replenish the island power at any time, in modern society, if he were to go and replenish it once, the commotion it would cause would be a bit too great. If he didn't want to affect ordinary people, he would have to go deep into the underground spirit tombs. But the spirit tombs were beneath the Clock Tower. How to sneak down was also a difficult matter. Otherwise, he would have to find a way to return to the Inner Sea of the Planet. To be honest, Aslan really didn't want to attract the attention of modern magi when he mobilized the island's power. Regardless of whether those magi were envious or jealous, or saw him as a thorn in their side, in short, he really didn't want to deal with these guys.
The pure magical energy was quickly collected by this new bottle. In almost a short moment, it had devoured all the surrounding magical energy. In the end, only the glittering golden Holy Grail was left. However, because Aslan himself had no thoughts on the Holy Grail, he did not intend to take it for himself. But to prevent the Holy Grail from causing any trouble, it still had to be restrained.
"Hear my wish, Holy Grail. I request that when you grant the wishes of others in the future, you do so with shackles. Wishes with malicious intent cannot be granted. Wishes harmful to the world and the Human Order cannot be granted. Wishes that violate morality cannot be granted. Use a multi-faceted evaluation. At the same time, this screening rule cannot be erased by the wishes of subsequent people. That is all."
After consuming a certain amount of magical energy, illusory shackles appeared around the golden Holy Grail, and then gently locked onto it. If the previous device was just an ordinary terminal, then the current Aslan was adding a choice to this terminal. Only with the ability to screen would the Holy Grail not become the main culprit in destroying the world.
As long as the Holy Grail didn't have any problems, it should be able to continue to hold various Holy Grail Wars in the future. Who knows, maybe in the future, he himself would need the Holy Grail to grant some wishes. For example, when his own lifespan was about to come to an end, he would have the Holy Grail materialize his soul.
The golden Holy Grail, having granted the wish, gradually fell silent again. Aslan summoned his forging hammer. After enlarging it, he quickly tapped the ground. Finally, the ground began to rapidly change. A cage-like protection appeared at high speed, protecting the Holy Grail within. This underground space also began to rapidly change. Everything was built on the basis of protecting the Holy Grail and preventing it from being stolen.
With this, the Holy Grail War could be said to have come to an end. After all, Aslan had taken the lead and made this time's wish to the already-completed Holy Grail. The Holy Grail, having consumed a portion of its magical energy, needed a period of silence.
For now, everything had temporarily come to an end. The next Holy Grail War would probably have to wait until 10 years later.
