"If you had asked me before, I would definitely say I couldn't do it. I know there are many ways to revive people, but without exception, they are all extremely precious, and even if there was an opportunity to obtain them, I wouldn't know when I could."
Takatsuki smiled as he looked at the somewhat dazed Fu Hua.
"However, since you've confirmed that my future self will obtain the Throne of Heroes, it means that by then, I will have a way to do it."
"In that world, there is a ritual called the Holy Grail War based on the Throne of Heroes. Seven participants summon their own Servants through the Holy Grail to wage war. When six of the seven Servants are killed, a wish can be granted through the Holy Grail."
Takatsuki reached into his backpack, took out the Lesser Grail and a piece of paper, and showed them to Fu Hua, saying, "Servants are an aspect of Heroic Spirits, so the Throne of Heroes is one of the prerequisites for the Holy Grail War. And now, I have gathered the contract and the Lesser Grail; all that's left is the Throne of Heroes to start the Holy Grail War."
The essence of the Holy Grail War is simply to create a massive crystal of magical energy through a ritual, using this energy to perform miracles through sheer force, which is the truth behind the so-called omnipotent wish-granting machine.
Although most mages hoped to reach the Root by communicating with the outside world after winning the Holy Grail War, Takatsuki did not need this part.
Actually, to hold the Holy Grail War, a great holy grail is also needed, but Takatsuki felt that if he could find and utilize something as outrageous as the Throne of Heroes, then a great holy grail was not worth mentioning.
At worst, he could just travel through a few more worlds and summon a Divine Era mage to help him create a great holy grail.
"A wish? Can it eliminate Honkai?"
As expected of you, Scarlet Phoenix Immortal, who has guarded Shenzhou for fifty thousand years. Even when hearing about the ability to grant wishes, your first thought wasn't of your own selfish desires.
"I'm not sure, but I estimate it probably wouldn't be enough. Although the Holy Grail is called an omnipotent wish-granting machine in that world, it doesn't actually alter reality, but rather forcefully performs miracles through a large amount of magical energy."
Takatsuki thought for a moment and said. Fortunately, Fu Hua understood the concept of magical energy in this world, so Takatsuki didn't need to explain much.
"If localized, it would probably use Honkai Energy, and using Honkai Energy to defeat Honkai itself is a bit…"
Takatsuki said more tactfully, "difficult."
"But, from a multiverse perspective, Honkai Energy is somewhat like its name—Honkai is omnipotent. It can be converted into any form of energy, and even a great feat like resurrection is not difficult to accomplish."
Actually, Takatsuki was very curious, if Fu Hua had such an opportunity to revive someone, who would she choose?
"So, if there's such an opportunity, will Fu Hua participate? If you win, who would you want to revive?"
Takatsuki looked at Fu Hua, and Fu Hua also looked in his direction, but she didn't speak.
Bang—
She forcefully closed the book in her hand with one hand.
"Starting tomorrow, continue practicing the Edge of Taixuan."
"You should go back to sleep."
Before Takatsuki could say anything, Fu Hua continued to speak to him without any emotion.
"Uh…"
Even though Fu Hua's words carried no emotion and her tone was no different from usual, Takatsuki still felt that she seemed to be angry.
Of course, it might just be a simple desire to end the conversation.
"Alright, alright, I'll go back and rest first."
After bidding farewell to Fu Hua, the objective of this visit was achieved. Fu Hua regaining her memories was within reason, but Takatsuki never expected that he would be involved with the so-called Throne of Heroes, and even travel through time later to collect Heroic Spirits.
Could he be working for the Counter Force?
Takatsuki didn't want to work for the Counter Force; not even the most ruthless capitalists were as ruthless as the Counter Force. Look at what happened to EMIYA.
Logically, once one becomes a Heroic Spirit, their mindset is difficult to change because they are fixed in that time period. Even if they know about future events, their personality will not change. For example, Gilgamesh in three different time periods: Gilgamesh from two of those periods looks down on the Road King Gilgamesh.
But what about EMIYA? An ambitious young man was tormented to the point where he only wanted to kill his past self.
"But I guess that's still very far away for me."
Not to mention that he was currently in the Dungeon world, even if he drew Type-Moon-related items or characters, he didn't have any usable crystals.
He would need to upgrade to LV4 to get crystals; as for other methods…
Hmm? Wait a minute? He actually did have other ways to get crystals.
Takatsuki then remembered that he also had a Battle Echo function. He hadn't used it before because he was always in the Dungeon, and he forgot about it after returning.
Returning to his room, Takatsuki opened the system panel and found that a hidden quest had been completed.
"When did this happen?"
Takatsuki scratched his head, looking at the quest and rewards displayed on the panel.
"Well, it's a good thing. But this way, crystals are really scarce."
[Defeat the Apollo Familia and move into the Hearth Manor. Reward: Skill Upgrade System unlocked]
On Takatsuki's panel, a plus sign appeared next to the skills he learned through skill scrolls, and he could now click this plus sign to raise his skill levels, no longer needing to stack skill scrolls of the same level.
The rules for skill upgrading were very simple.
Upgrading from level one to two required 100 crystals, from level two to three was 200 crystals, and so on. After five hundred crystals for level five to six, it became one thousand for level six to seven.
Then it was two thousand, three thousand, and so on.
The maximum level was max, which meant one more level after level ten, requiring five thousand crystals.
"Five thousand, that's enough for ten golden character cards."
However, looking at this, Takatsuki also knew that the upgrade system was definitely not a loss, because improving skills was entirely his own, unlike external items such as character cards and props, which had different values at different times. Coupled with the unstable power that golden props and character cards could unleash, and the possibility that they might even be useless against extremely strong enemies, a fully upgraded skill had more potential than them. But whether it was ten golden items or enhancing one's core abilities by upgrading skills, that was a matter of opinion.
"Never mind that for now, let's try Battle Echo."
Takatsuki had been looking forward to this spiritual battlefield for a long time. He wondered how many rewards it would bring?
Takatsuki lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
