When Takumi announced that the Servants should withdraw on their own, Arash and Vlad III returned without hesitation, almost as fast as if they were fleeing for their lives.
There was no other way; they simply couldn't get along with their respective troublesome Masters. Especially Arash. Vlad III was only annoyed by being entangled at most, but Arash's life was in danger at any time. It must be said that Megumin still had some conscience and did not use a Command Spell to force him to release his Noble Phantasm, otherwise he might not have survived until now. However, although it was thrilling, he finally survived to the end this time, which finally fulfilled one of his wishes.
Then came the Guardian Kiritsugu, who also left without saying a word. But before leaving, he still gave Emiya Kiritsugu a meaningful look. In fact, if he had not known that this Holy Grail War was just a farce, Guardian Kiritsugu would not have stayed with Emiya Kiritsugu for so long.
He and Archer were not so different. Both of them hated themselves very much when they were alive. In other words, they hated these types of guys who thought that only they could save the world, and that the world needed them to save it. And the current Emiya Kiritsugu accurately met this condition.
Originally, he was ready to clean up Emiya Kiritsugu and then leave, but he learned that the Holy Grail War could not proceed normally and Emiya Kiritsugu would not get the Holy Grail, so he did not implement this idea. But he accompanied Emiya Kiritsugu to participate in the competition, and he also had no good intentions. He just wanted to drag Emiya Kiritsugu down, and wanted to prevent Emiya Kiritsugu from even getting the right to participate in the next Holy Grail War.
For example, after he was teleported away by Emiya Kiritsugu using a Command Spell, he did not hide the points immediately. In fact, he could have completely prevented Kenneth's classic reenactment, and based on his experience, he could have predicted this risk. But he didn't do that. Instead, he allowed Kenneth to take away all the points with this operation. This was a trick played on Emiya Kiritsugu.
But what he didn't expect was that Takumi was a little too generous, and finally let Emiya Kiritsugu get the right to participate in the next Holy Grail War. After working so hard in vain, Guardian Kiritsugu was a little angry, but he had to leave first. At the same time, he secretly noted this matter and planned to try again when Emiya Kiritsugu summons him next time to see if he can descend and trick the opponent again.
Then, there was Diarmuid. After he repeatedly apologized and bid farewell to Kenneth, he left the venue with some reluctance. At the same time, Diarmuid was basically satisfied. Although he still failed to do everything perfectly this time and failed to win Kenneth's victory, at least he did not let Kenneth die with regrets. He also punished Emiya Kiritsugu and let out a breath of frustration. This can be considered a good result. With this sigh, Diarmuid returned to the Throne of Heroes.
Iskandar, on the other hand, was also saying his final goodbyes to Waver. Although there was no life-and-death separation like in the original history, the relationship between the two still developed well. Waver had also experienced these things and grown a lot under Iskandar's earnest guidance. After making the same agreement as in the original story, Iskandar also returned.
The previous individuals were not very important to Takumi. He focused on Nero and Okita Souji. When they said goodbye to Nakiri Alice and Asuna Yuuki, Takumi walked over.
"If you want, I can help you escape from the Throne of Heroes, and Dimensional City also welcomes you to join."
Facing Takumi's invitation, Nero and Okita were stunned. Firstly, they didn't expect Takumi to do such a thing. Secondly, they were confused about what the Dimensional City was. During the few days of waiting, except for Takumi going back every night, the others stayed in the Type-Moon world. The four girls had not told them, so the two of them didn't know about the Dimensional City.
Seeing this, Nakiri Alice and Asuna Yuuki intimately introduced them to the situation in the Dimensional City.
"Is there such a magical place?" Nero was surprised at first, but then became excited again. "Such an interesting place, naturally I can't miss it. I agree, I will join the Dimensional City."
Nero was very interested in the Dimensional City described by Nakiri Alice that connects all worlds. She likes liveliness, so she naturally prefers the Dimensional City to the deserted Throne of Heroes. Moreover, she can escape from being a Heroic Spirit. Since she is no longer controlled by the Counter Force, there is no reason to refuse.
As for Okita Souji, she heard that there is a universal elixir that can cure all diseases in Dimensional City, which can cure her illness. There is also no reason to refuse the temptation to escape from the Throne of Heroes and live a new life.
"Oh oh! Is it really possible? Please be sure to ask Okita-san to join us!"
Seeing that both of them agreed to join, Takumi also smiled with satisfaction. But then he glanced at Artoria and thought to himself: If only she could be persuaded so easily...
Then, Takumi asked Nero and Okita Souji to return first, and when he finished his work, he would ask Alaya to retrieve their bodies. Seeing this, the two said nothing more, and said see you later to their respective Masters. They simply withdrew. Anyway, they would meet again soon, so there was no need to be fidgety.
At this point, all seven Servants of the Holy Grail War had withdrawn.
At the same time as Nero and Okita Souji withdrew, the small Holy Grail that Takumi placed on a high platform in the arena also moved. A large amount of red and black mud, looking like dirty blood filled with all kinds of malice and evil aura, a viscous liquid that polluted the spirit just by looking at it, gushed out from it.
"The irrelevant people should leave, so don't hinder us from doing our business."
Seeing this, Takumi quickly put a mental shield on everyone present, and then spoke to Kenneth and the others. Several people didn't say much. Seeing this scene, they also confirmed the authenticity of what Takumi said before. They didn't dare to be careless and quickly retreated. Together with the Tohsaka family and other related personnel in the audience, they retreated outside the arena.
But at the same time, they also left a familiar behind, wanting to check the follow-up situation. It was not for anything else, but just in case Takumi couldn't handle it, so that they could respond in time, help, or evacuate.
Takumi didn't care about their small actions and turned around to give instructions to Nakiri Alice and the others.
"You guys should go too. You won't be able to help with the rest of the matter. We'll retreat to the Dimensional City with everyone."
"Yes!"
A hole opened, and more of the evil black mud of this world poured out.
"It's coming out, stop it!"
Artoria looked at the black mud rising like a wave and couldn't help but look solemn, quickly reminding Takumi.
"Don't worry, it's not going anywhere."
Takumi smiled when he saw this scene. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Before, it was blocked by the Great Holy Grail, so there was no way to deal with the evil in this world, but now that it has come out on its own, it was easier to handle.
Takumi snapped his fingers, and the barrier that had been arranged around the arena was activated, blocking the entire arena from 360 degrees without blind spots. The wave of black mud slapped against the barrier and was instantly dissolved completely clean. This is because Takumi also added a purification effect to the barrier. Divinity can overcome the evil in this world. No matter how powerful it is, it will not be able to break through this barrier.
Immediately, in the arena, a purification circle covering the entire field was set up, and the black mud was dissolved more quickly. At the same time, the purified magic power was also absorbed by the purification circle, maintaining the process and increasing the power and efficiency of the purification.
As a result, the black mud was purified faster and faster. Finally, all the black mud on the ground was purified, leaving only the holes in the air that were still pouring out sludge. But as soon as the black mud fell, it would be purified instantly.
At this time, the evil in this world inside the Great Holy Grail also reacted. Knowing that there was an ambush outside, it quickly retreated back into the Great Holy Grail. If it couldn't afford to offend, why couldn't it hide? It slipped away!
But Takumi obviously wouldn't let it go just like that. He was here to eliminate the evil in this world. Seeing that black mud no longer gushed out of the hole, Takumi took the initiative to attack. He flew up into the air, came to the front of the hole, and directly cast multiple spells. The purification magic was like a Gatling machine gun, pouring into the hole crazily.
The evil entity in this world saw Takumi actually chasing inside the Great Holy Grail. Since he was coming in, it planned to fight to the death. However, it was better off not coming out. Once it emerged, all kinds of dragnets were used to purify it from the outside. There was nothing that could be done to Takumi. All it could do now was to choose: either go out and die quickly or be slowly killed inside the Great Holy Grail. No matter which way it chose, there was only one way to die.
"Asshole! I'll fight you!"
In desperation, Angra Mainyu immediately came out and prepared to fight to the death. As a result, after being purified by Takumi's increased output, there was nothing left. Without him, the evil in this world lost its last means of resistance and could only silently retreat into the Great Holy Grail and slowly wait for death.
This also led to Takumi spending a lot of time completely eliminating it. After receiving the system's prompt to complete the task, Takumi stopped.
"Solved?" Seeing Takumi stop, Artoria asked quickly.
"Well, it's been solved." Takumi nodded.
Without saying much else, he quickly checked the mission reward, the Hall of Heroes that made him full of expectations. Then Takumi discovered that the Hall of Heroes is really a temple.
Of course, what Takumi cared about more was its function.
Then, Takumi smiled. "It's just as I expected."
The function of the Hall of Heroes is similar to what Takumi had guessed before: it can resurrect people. The specific operation is that it allows people to register and save a trace of their True Spirit in it, and then when the person dies, their soul will be automatically recovered instantly. The corpse and soul will be resurrected after a period of time, depending on the situation.
If it is only a physical injury, it only takes one day to a week; that is, even if the bones are scattered far away, the body will be rebuilt after a week. If it is an operation of the soul, it will take an additional day to a week on top of the recovery of the physical body. Similarly, even if the soul is gone, a trace of the True Spirit preserved in the Hall of Heroes can also revive it.
Therefore, even if a person dies completely, it will only take half a month at the slowest to fully revive him. Moreover, the Hall of Heroes can work across worlds; as long as he dies in a world connected to the Dimensional Gate, they can all be recovered and resurrected.
This is what satisfied Takumi the most. Without this cross-world function, the value of the Hall of Heroes in his hands would be greatly reduced. After all, in the main world of the Dimensional City, there is no need to use it at all because the power of the Dimensional City is already invincible there. For Takumi, the place where the Hall of Heroes can really be used is in other worlds. If it cannot take effect across worlds, this Hall of Heroes is almost useless.
Fortunately, it can take effect across worlds. Moreover, this kind of recovery cannot be interrupted, so there is no need to worry about being stopped by the enemy.
At the same time, there is no upper limit to the number of registered people in the Hall of Heroes. Takumi can register as many people as he wants. The only trouble is that every time a person is resurrected, corresponding energy will be consumed according to the person's strength. However, this energy can be various energy sources, such as electricity, magic, Qi, spiritual energy, mana, divine power, chakra, etc.
Different energy sources consume different amounts according to their levels. The higher the energy level, the less it consumes, and conversely, the more it consumes. But for those who have already achieved freedom of electricity and magic power, it is not difficult for Takumi to use it at will.
Another point is that the Hall of Heroes is bound to Takumi himself; he can control it at will, and it is only controlled by him. This gives Takumi a lot of room for free play. For example, kicking a registered person out of the resurrection list. Another example is adjusting the order of resurrection, deciding who to revive first, or setting it to manual mode so that no matter who it is, if they want to be resurrected, they need to ask him first.
Takumi can even check the relevant information of the registered people in the Hall of Heroes, including their loyalty to him, favorability, and other data. This is also a convenient feature for Takumi's management. After all, although there is a contract to ensure that those subordinates will not betray, the contract cannot lock everyone's thoughts. Some things will still make the girls dissatisfied. And with such emotions present, although betrayal is not allowed, there are many ways to express dissatisfaction, such as being passive and slowing down work. Now, with the reference of this data, Takumi can better avoid this situation from happening.
Then there is the fact that the Hall of Heroes is equally useful to him, and his resurrection will not consume anything. This is equivalent to giving Takumi unlimited lives. With the Hall of Heroes in the bag, Takumi can roam around with peace of mind in the future, without worrying too much about how dangerous the world on the other side is.
Finally, the strength of the Hall of Heroes is the same as that of the Dimensional Gate. It is bound to the system. Unless there is a supreme power that can destroy the Dimensional Gate system, it cannot be destroyed. It is absolutely durable and has full reliability.
After carefully understanding the various functions, Takumi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It was not in vain that he had spent so much effort to master the Hall of Heroes. There is no doubt that this is a new cheat. The trump cards have increased by one! Takumi was naturally very happy about this.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Takumi suddenly laughing, Artoria couldn't help but ask with some doubts. Could it be that his brain is broken? In the eyes of Artoria, who didn't know the truth, wasn't Takumi just giggling?
"It's nothing, I just thought of a good thing."
Takumi didn't explain anything and said it casually. After all, Artoria hasn't joined the Dimensional City yet, so it's hard to tell her some things.
