After that, Takumi started to deal with the aftermath of the scene. He closed the Lesser Grail, and then the Greater Grail disappeared.
As for the wish-making opportunity of the Holy Grail? This was of no use to Takumi.
Firstly, he now possesses the Third Magic and a complete set of information on the Greater Grail system. If he wanted to, he could recreate countless such wishing machines.
Secondly, the function of the Greater Grail is a bit useless for Takumi. The principle of this object is actually to use magical energy to achieve a certain goal. The wish-maker needs to provide a plan, and then the Greater Grail will use magical energy to omit the process and directly produce results based on this plan.
This sounds very powerful, but in fact, the magnitude of the wish that can be realized is limited by the existing magical energy. The magical energy charged by the spiritual veins of the Greater Grail over sixty years is only equal to the normal output of Takumi himself, or the normal operation of a single Infinite Magical Energy Furnace for two months.
There are actually very few things that this amount of magical energy can do. For example, if you wish to rule the world, the Greater Grail may only help you brainwash everyone in the world or apply a suggestion spell on them.
Is the wish realistic? It is achieved. But methods of this level may become ineffective within a few days. Because the scope is too wide, the magical energy is spread equally to everyone in the world, and in the end, there is not much left per person, so the effect is not strong.
This is also a drawback of the Holy Grail. The grander the wish, the less reliable the implementation effect will be. Therefore, the wish-maker needs to prepare a feasible plan after careful consideration. Its purpose is to enhance the effect that the Holy Grail can exert by narrowing the operating space of the Holy Grail.
However, since he already has a feasible theoretical solution, Takumi doesn't need the Holy Grail to help him realize it; he can do it himself.
Magic Creation, Item Construction—with this set of combined cheats, Takumi is almost omnipotent. Why does he need an Omnipotent Wish Granter? He can just do it himself.
And if he gets started by himself, he can use magic to create items and new methods created by magic. These by-products can be retained permanently and reused. If it is needed in other subsequent places, it can be taken out and reused when a similar operation needs to be reproduced, and it will not cause a significant amount of consumption again.
Unlike the Holy Grail wish, where you can only get a one-time result. If you want to do it again, you have to consume another wave of the same amount of magical energy. In this way, although doing it yourself will be more troublesome the first time, in the long run, it will save more time, trouble, and effort.
That's why Takumi felt that the Holy Grail was useless in his hands. Call it useless, but it still has some use. For example, when he is too busy, he can use the Holy Grail to handle some tasks for him. It can be regarded as a tool for laziness, but it can only be used for this purpose.
Therefore, Takumi didn't pay too much attention to the wish-making opportunity in front of him. It's one thing for it to be tasteless, but there are also reasons why it is unappealing. He can craft a Holy Grail himself, so there is no need to snatch an old one from others.
Moreover, he also told Tohsaka Tokiomi and the others that the next Holy Grail War will not be too far off. If he used it now, he would have to replenish the magical energy afterwards, which would be too troublesome and not worth it. If he really wanted to try the effect of the Holy Grail, he could craft one himself after returning to the Dimensional City. It will be more convenient to operate at home.
After dealing with the Holy Grail, Takumi looked at the arena, a temporary and illegal structure that was built as a competition venue. After thinking about it, he didn't dismantle it but put it into a separate space. He planned to move it back to the Dimensional City as a souvenir. And if there are any competitions and activities in Dimensional City in the future, it can also be used to host them.
"Mr. Takumi, has the matter been settled?"
After putting away the arena, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had been waiting outside, saw Takumi and Artoria appear, so he quickly came over.
"It has been resolved, and you can safely hold the Holy Grail War from now on."
Takumi nodded and threw the Lesser Grail to Tohsaka Tokiomi.
"I give you this. The Einzberns will probably not participate in the next Holy Grail War, and the Matou family will not be here either. You will have to handle all the events yourself."
"Thank you for your generosity!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi hurriedly caught the Lesser Grail. When he heard Takumi's words, he immediately thanked him with joy. Because Takumi was giving him the authority to hold the Holy Grail War.
The Greater Grail is something that the Three Founding Families hold in common. But if we really take it seriously, it is actually the Einzbern's property. Whether it is Tohsaka or Matou, they only provide corresponding services for the operation of the Greater Grail.
Now that Takumi has taken over the Einzberns and integrated the Matou family's information, there is no shortage of magical energy, so he has an even more dominant position. On the other hand, the Tohsaka family, after losing the rigid need for the spiritual energy supply, finds the status of the third family is already in jeopardy. When will they be kicked out of the Three Founding Families? It only depends on Takumi's word.
Therefore, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt quite uneasy watching Takumi's various operations these days, fearing that Takumi would simply stop playing with him. And now, Takumi gave him the Lesser Grail and asked him to have full authority to organize the next Holy Grail War. This was equivalent to giving him an opportunity to borrow the Greater Grail. How could Tohsaka Tokiomi not be grateful for this?
Takumi just nodded casually to Tohsaka Tokiomi's thanks and didn't pay much attention. In fact, this is not because he is very generous, but because he wants to see the next Holy Grail War be held, but he doesn't want to take care of it because it is too troublesome.
As for how Tohsaka Tokiomi understood it, that was Tokiomi's problem. Takumi didn't care. Anyway, the Fuyuki Greater Grail was not very important to Takumi, so he could just lend it out.
After dismissing Tohsaka Tokiomi, Takumi dealt with other matters. For example, at Einzbern Castle, he explained some things to Old Man Acht. And regarding the castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki, Takumi thought for a while, then left some of the android maids and asked them to continue taking care of the castle.
This castle is planned to be used as a place for the girls to come for leisure and vacation when they have free time. It can be regarded as another external property of the Dimensional City, similar to the residence of the Familia in the Danmachi world.
After all, leaving aside whether the girls would come here, Takumi would probably come here often. Because there are still many Heroic Spirits on the Throne of Heroes waiting for him to conquer them.
Well, the agreement Takumi made with Alaya and Gaia has no time limit. In other words, Takumi can try to capture the Heroic Spirits multiple times, and when he captures them, he can take their bodies away. Takumi would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.
Wouldn't this make Alaya and Gaia bald?!
That is to say, he was afraid that if he went too far at one time, these two Counter Forces would be blown away and he would regret it. Otherwise, Takumi would have summoned seven or eight Heroic Spirits to fight together. However, this matter cannot be rushed; it will be more secure if the water flows slowly and steadily.
And...
Takumi looked at Artoria. This has not been resolved yet.
After finishing the trivial matters, Takumi went to find Artoria. This time, Takumi directly used his trump card.
"Artoria, do you want to reshape Britain?"
Reviving Britain is undoubtedly Artoria's biggest weakness. In fact, Takumi would not want to use this trick if possible. After all, it is a bit of a manipulative method. If it is not handled well, it will easily affect the relationship between the two. However, there has not been much progress in the conquest of Artoria at present, so Takumi had to take a risk and use this method.
Artoria suddenly became serious after hearing this. She stood up and frowned in confusion. "What do you want to say?"
She did not deny this desire. Although her life trajectory is different from the Saber version, and she has realized more ideals, the regrets are mutual. She naturally hopes that the Camelot Dynasty can continue to exist. It's just that the mature version of her is much more rational than the girl version that stopped growing, and she doesn't express this idea so strongly.
"What I want to say is that your idea will not work in this world. Even if you do it, you will only end up with a Singularity or a Lostbelt, which will eventually be pruned by the Human Order."
"Because in this world, Camelot's fate has been decided, and this is history that the world cannot change."
Takumi simply stopped pretending and showed off his cards directly, telling Artoria straight to the point that her idea was destined to be unrealistic. Moreover, he also projected a screen and showed Artoria the story of the Sixth Singularity and the British Lostbelt being conquered.
Artoria was not surprised by this. She knew this, otherwise, she would not have been indifferent to the Holy Grail. It was because she knew that the Holy Grail could not achieve her wish, so she regarded the Holy Grail as nothing.
However, Artoria noticed the wording in Takumi's speech.
"You mean this world?"
"Yeah, you know, we're not from this world."
"Um."
Artoria nodded. She naturally knew this. When Takumi invited her before, he had always mentioned the name Dimensional City. Although there was no detailed explanation, she could guess something from the name.
"We come from a magical place; we call it the Dimensional City."
Takumi then explained to Artoria the magic of how the Dimensional City can connect different worlds.
"Since your idea doesn't work in this world, you might as well try it in other worlds. There should be many worlds where the Camelot Dynasty exists among all the worlds."
"Even if it doesn't exist, you can still find a suitable world and re-establish one."
"When the time comes, there won't be any Counter Force or Human Order to interfere with you. As long as you can do it, it doesn't matter how long you want the Camelot dynasty to continue."
"How about it? In this case, are you interested in joining Dimensional City?"
"..."
Facing Takumi's temptation, Artoria couldn't help but remain silent. It had to be said that the condition proposed by Takumi made her heart move. But...
"What you said is very good, but there is a key problem here." Artoria looked at Takumi seriously and said, "The Camelot of other worlds, is that the Camelot I want?"
The plan to develop in other worlds and rebuild Camelot is indeed tempting, but in the end, it is just looking for a substitute. Is it guaranteed to meet her wishes? Besides, what should she do about the people if she goes to other worlds? Will the people of the new Camelot dynasty still be the same as before? If not, then even if a Camelot dynasty is rebuilt, will it make sense?
Takumi shook his head. "You have to ask yourself; it depends on whether you want a Camelot of your own or the Camelot of the past."
He couldn't answer this question because it was not so much asking him, but Artoria asking whether she could accept this plan.
"..."
Hearing this, Artoria thought silently.
Takumi didn't bother her and let her think about it slowly. But Takumi was still quite uneasy. After all, if he couldn't defeat Artoria even after using this trump card, then he would have no choice but to take Artoria back to the Dimensional City and spend time slowly wearing her down.
In this regard, Takumi couldn't help but feel helpless. At first, he was quite happy to see this mature version of Artoria summoned. Because Takumi is a man with a preference for mature women, he prefers older girls. Compared to the royal version of the girl Artoria, the mature version of Artoria is more attractive to him.
But the problem is that the mature Artoria is much more rational than the girl version, which makes the strategy more difficult. If it was the girl version of Saber, Saber Alter, or the Knight Princess, Takumi felt that as long as he fed them a few more delicious meals, they would be almost ready.
But for the Bunny King, or the White Lancer here, food alone is not enough. Not only is it difficult to increase your favorability, but it is also difficult for various temptations to be effective. They are obviously the same person, but the difficulty of the strategy is as vast as the distance between the sky and the earth.
Just as Takumi's thoughts began to wander and he was having random thoughts, Artoria finally gave an answer.
"Well, I accept your suggestion, and I am willing to join Dimensional City."
Artoria thought about it again and again, and finally accepted this plan. After all, it can never be realized in the Type-Moon World, so she can only find another way out.
It doesn't really matter whether Camelot is the same one from back then. The most important thing to her now is that she rebuilds a Camelot that can last forever. As for the problems of personnel and people? At worst, she will think of other ways later, and just bring over the Knights of the Round Table and the people. No, there is no need to force it if it doesn't work.
