A few months have passed.
Einzbern Castle.
Haruto sat in the study and looked at the scarlet pattern on the back of his hand, which was the Command Spell needed to participate in the Holy Grail War.
Each Command Spell grants three chances to order the Servant.
However, is Haruto the kind of person who follows the rules? No.
No, Haruto directly relied on [Thousands of Magic] to unlock the interior of the Lesser Grail and connect it to the construction technique of the Greater Grail.
Seeing the dense variety of spells appearing in front of his eyes reminded Haruto of the time when he first looked at the source code of the Java language.
Thinking of this, Haruto missed it. No need now—no need to stay up all night writing code to change code. He now possesses unrivaled power.
Using [Thousands of Magic], Haruto is constantly learning and understanding the spells of the Holy Grail. He then finds the key spells related to the Command Spell; just like changing code, he finds the relevant class and accesses the object of the relevant class.
Then he found the relevant code for his own Command Spell. He modified the number of times the Command Spell could be used.
Haruto smiled knowingly.
Then Haruto browsed other data again and found that there were actually some bugs in the Holy Grail system from that year; even illegal summons could not be restricted.
Just as Haruto thought of something, he focused on weaving the spell in his hands.
A small figure approached Haruto from behind. She stretched out her hands to cover Haruto's eyes.
"Guess who I am?" A young voice sounded.
"Don't make trouble, Illya. I still have to work," Haruto said helplessly.
Illya let go of her hands and jumped directly into Haruto's arms to sit on his lap.
"Well, Onii-chan, you promised to play with Illya and Iri," Illya murmured, with an unhappy look on her baby face.
At this time, Illya's Lesser Grail had also been taken down by Haruto, and he had made a heart for her like Irisviel's.
She was freed from the fate of being a Holy Grail vessel.
"Okay, I'll be done soon." Haruto fondly patted Illya's head.
He closed the Holy Grail technique and took Illya to find Irisviel.
However, what he didn't know was that because of Illya's blindfold, the programs of several of his spells had gone wrong.

Fuyuki, Ryuudou Temple.
This is where the spiritual veins of the entire Fuyuki are located. The Einzbern family, the Tohsaka family, and the Matou family hid the Great Holy Grail here.
However, during the third war, the Einzbern family illegally summoned the eighth-rank 'Avenger' Servant, Angra Mainyu. He was then defeated, and his soul was sucked into the Holy Grail according to the rules, thus causing the pollution of the Holy Grail.
Because the tainted Holy Grail can still grant a wish, but the way to achieve it has been infused with endless "maliciousness."
A ray of light suddenly appeared in the quiet Ryuudou Temple, which alarmed the monks there.
"What is that?" The monks exclaimed in amazement when they saw this light.
"It smells of evil." The monks felt malice spreading.
Gradually the light disappeared, and a figure appeared.
"Is that a person?" The monks swallowed hard.
They saw a young man with black hair, wearing a red turban and a red cloth, exposing his upper body. His whole body was covered with scarlet and chilling curse marks.
The young man opened his eyes and moved his hands and feet. A wicked grin formed on his face.
"Although I don't know what happened, I was resurrected. Now, let me spread [Evil] in this world."
Then he turned to look at the monks and grinned.
"Be my subordinates. Hahaha!" Angra Mainyu laughed wildly. A black mud filled with evil and negative emotions poured out all around.
This is the All the World's Evil. Those who touch it will be eroded; some will go crazy and be blackened. After all, this is the collection of all the malice in the world.
The few monks watched the terrifying black mud coming, and they all fled in a hurry, but they still couldn't escape the speed of the black mud.
In the end, they were all soaked in black mud.
All were polluted by the evil of the world, and their expressions changed from surprise to joy, as if seeing what they wanted in their hearts. Then their faces changed violently, turning into an expression of fear. As if seeing the most terrifying thing in the world, all of them finally died with a crazy look.
Angra Mainyu looked at one corpse after another, silently disdainful.
"Tsk, humans are really weak. It's actually over."
"It seems that I can only summon Heroic Spirits first." Angra Mainyu looked at the Command Spell on the back of his hand.
"Although I don't know why I was resurrected, I still have a Command Spell inexplicably."
Then Angra Mainyu painted the formation and prepared to summon a heroic spirit.
"Declare."
"Your body is under my command, and my destiny is upon your sword."
"Follow the call of the Holy Grail. If you follow this will and the law of heaven, you will answer immediately."
...
As the summoning incantation fell, the formation emitted a burst of light, and a figure appeared.
"Servant, Berserker, Vlad III, responding to the call."
A white-haired man appeared, his face as pale as a vampire.
Vlad III is the king and hero of Romania, the legendary Archduke of Piercing. He who was summoned as a Berserker used his vampire power mercilessly. He can be described as the embodiment of cruelty and disaster.
Angra Mainyu grinned. "Looks like I've drawn a good card."
"Wait, Berserker, I'll call a few more." Angra Mainyu was not satisfied with a single heroic spirit.
Immediately, Angra Mainyu started a new summoning ceremony.

At the same time, outside the territory of Einzbern, Germany.
A black-haired man in a coat and a woman with short, dark green hair looked at the Einzbern territory.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya—the two came to Einzbern's territory.
Emiya Kiritsugu originally wanted to qualify for the Holy Grail War through the Einzberns. But it seems that the Einzberns are not recruiting foreign aid now. His trip was in vain.
'Did you just give up? My ideal can be realized as long as I get the Holy Grail.'
Emiya Kiritsugu thought unwillingly, but suddenly a Command Spell appeared on the back of his hand.
'This... The Holy Grail has chosen me?' Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself. Sure enough, his ideal can still be realized.
Now that he has the Command Spell, he can start preparing for the summoning. No need to look for the Einzberns.
After smoking a cigarette, Emiya Kiritsugu left with Hisau Maiya. Before leaving, he glanced back at the Einzbern territory.
Suddenly, he saw a handsome young man walking out of the deep forest holding a petite and lovely girl and a beautiful girl with long silver hair. There were happy smiles on their faces.
Looking at such a warm picture, Emiya Kiritsugu felt a sudden emptiness in his heart. It was as if something important had been lost.
But he didn't know what it was; it could only be attributed to the fact that he wanted a family. Then he looked at Hisau Maiya. 'At least wait until the ideal is realized,' Emiya Kiritsugu thought.
Then he left without thinking.
However, he didn't know that Haruto had discovered him early. After all, his super vision is real.
Haruto thought about it and shook his head disdainfully—a silly and ridiculous ideal.

Inside a research room deep in the Clock Tower.
A white-haired man looked at the Command Spell on the back of his hand.
He is one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, the Animusphere monarch. His full name is Marisbury Animusphere, and he is the head of the Astronomical Section of the Clock Tower.
He got the Command Spell inexplicably today. He knew it was a ticket to the Holy Grail War.
He remembered that Lord El-Melloi, Kayneth, who was also a monarch, was also participating in the Holy Grail War, and smiled.
It seemed very interesting, and he really wanted to know what Kayneth would look like when he saw him on the battlefield.
So he decided to go play.
Then he started preparing to summon the relic of a Heroic Spirit.
