Chapter 211 Next Step and the Magic Association
The night completely dissipated.
Bright sunlight shone on the earth once again.
When this brand new tomorrow arrives, the Holy Grail War, which had been escalating the day before, has come to a complete end.
The winner is Kotomine Shirou.
Shirou Kotomine wasn't overly excited about winning the Holy Grail War.
For him, victory in the Holy Grail War was predetermined.
With his current strength, most normal Spirit Origin Servants are no match for him, except for those top-tier Grand Spirit Origin Servants.
Of course, there are also some abnormal beings even under normal spirit origins.
But those beings cannot be summoned easily.
Moreover, Kotomine Shirou has the advantage of intelligence. Knowing his enemy and himself, even if the opponent is strong enough to fight Kotomine Shirou.
Then Kotomine Shirou can also gain more advantages by relying on intelligence.
In short, Shirou Kotomine never doubted his victory in the Holy Grail War.
What really troubled him was how quickly he could end the battle.
Now he has ended the entire battle in one night.
This couldn't be more satisfying for Shirou Kotomine.
After the final battle, Shirou Kotomine now had more things to deal with.
For example, traveling to the Inner Sea of the Star, located on the inner side of the planet.
For example, obtaining Kiritsugu Emiya's time magic.
Another example is learning about Type-Moon magic from magic books.
All three are important to Shirou Kotomine.
However, the last two items are not actually that difficult.
Given Kotomine Shirou's current strength, it would be extremely easy for him to seize the "Timeless Masterpiece" from Emiya Kiritsugu.
Learning magic takes time.
Furthermore, knowledge of magic isn't something you can simply acquire by studying it.
These are all things that Shirou Kotomine needs to digest.
Then, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but think about the issue of time again.
"Time!"
After a sigh, Shirou Kotomine looked up and gazed out the window.
This is the castle of the Yggdrasil family, and the androids here are currently carrying out repairs on the castle and its surroundings.
After all, last night's battle was far too intense.
There aren't many intact areas left in this neighborhood.
The castle of the Yggdrasil family first experienced the aftermath of the Noble Phantasms in the Servant melee, and later witnessed the duel between Shirou Kotomine and Chiron.
It's fortunate that it hasn't been completely destroyed.
Kotomine Shirou did not unleash any large-scale magic.
Chiron's Noble Phantasm is also an anti-personnel Noble Phantasm.
Even though it was just a close-quarters battle between the two, the place was still severely damaged, and many parts of it were no longer habitable.
However, the castle ultimately occupies a vast area.
There were still rooms available, so Kotomine Shirou naturally took the opportunity to stay there.
After a night of battles, Shirou Kotomine was also exhausted.
Even with the reversal techniques continuously working to restore the body, the mental fatigue cannot be eliminated.
So Kotomine Shirou stayed there and took a nap.
After all, Shirou Kotomine is still human at this point. Although he already possesses the power of the dragon, it is merely a power to Shirou Kotomine as a magician.
He is still a human being.
Therefore, he still needs to sleep and eat.
But he no longer needs to sleep for several hours like a normal human to fully recover.
After less than an hour of sleep, Shirou Kotomine had already recovered to his peak condition.
He was now sitting at his desk in the room, making plans for the future.
For example, the three plans mentioned earlier.
However, the latter two of the three plans were not difficult, but they were things that required time to do.
The only challenge is getting to the Inner Sea of the Stars.
Head to the land inhabited by the fantasy species and hunt the dragons of this world.
Through the power of the hawk, Shirou Kotomine can see the Sea Within the Stars, but he cannot go there.
That is a world that only non-human beings can go to.
In the original story, Sieg, who was transformed into a dragon through the Holy Grail, naturally gained the ability to travel there.
But it is difficult for non-human beings to reach that place.
Even though Shirou Kotomine has teleportation, his teleportation cannot cross between two worlds.
The Starry Sea and the present world are two different worlds.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine needs a more powerful ability to travel through space, so that he can gain the power to cross worlds.
Of course, the world here is not outside the Type-Moon universe.
Rather, it is the ability to freely travel to different worlds within the current worldview.
That is, the ability to move over extremely long distances.
Kotomine Shirou had been researching this ability for a long time, after all, his teleportation distance wasn't very far, but it was clearly not something that could be achieved easily.
Shirou Kotomine has the resources and ability to do so.
The reason for this is simply a matter of time; Shirou Kotomine had far too little time to improve himself.
In the limited time available, Shirou Kotomine focused more on improving his own strength.
Instead of using it for things like increasing spatial movement distance.
After all, in combat, spatial movement over distances is now sufficient.
Adding more afterward will not achieve a qualitative change.
At that time, Shirou Kotomine could never have imagined that he would one day need this ability.
However, Shirou Kotomine is not without a solution.
And that method was right in front of him.
That is the power of the Holy Grail.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine's pseudo-Mystic Eyes are transforming into Mystic Eyes, and in Shirou Kotomine's eyes, a space-based ability is being nurtured.
After all, the Mystic Eyes are the ability to perform magic through the eyes.
Previously, Shirou Kotomine had never interfered with the birth of the Mystic Eyes, since Shirou Kotomine's Mystic Eyes were gradually born under the infiltration of the terrifying spatial power in his left eye.
Kotomine Shirou didn't care what kind of ability would ultimately emerge.
After all, spatial abilities are all very useful, and any kind of ability will enhance Shirou Kotomine's strength.
But at this moment, Shirou Kotomine is preparing to use the power of the Holy Grail to interfere with the development of the Mystic Eye ability in his left eye.
This gave him the ability to travel extremely long distances.
This is Kotomine Shirou's plan.
After all, the Holy Grail was already in his hands. Although it couldn't truly be a wish-granting machine, it was still easy to use it to solve his current problems.
Originally, Shirou Kotomine was concerned with the Holy Grail ritual magic itself.
They wanted to obtain the Holy Grail's power, which was like a wish-granting machine.
But Shirou Kotomine has already earned the right to make a wish.
He naturally intended to experience it for himself.
And this doesn't delay his plans.
After waking up, Shirou Kotomine organized the many inspirations that had arisen the previous night.
After all, two of his three current goals were just decided last night.
Moreover, this happened when inspiration struck suddenly.
Inspiration born in that state may be precious, but it may not be perfect.
So, after waking up and regaining his peak mental state, Shirou Kotomine began to refine his inspiration.
For example, after realizing another value of Servant Noble Phantasms, Shirou Kotomine hesitated about using the souls of the five Servants originally intended for the Holy Grail War ritual.
What if these five Servants also possessed the same value as Astolfo but had not been discovered by him at this time?
However, after being refined by Shirou Kotomine, he overcame his hesitation.
After all, Shirou Kotomine did not intend to go to the Root.
Or perhaps he doesn't intend to go to the Roots right now.
He was simply preparing to use the magic stored within the Holy Grail to fulfill his wish through the Grail ritual.
As long as he puts the Holy Grail away before its magic power is exhausted, the souls of the five Servants will remain stored in the Greater Grail.
The victor of the Holy Grail War is not limited to making only one wish.
This is determined by the magic within.
Just as the former director of Chaldea wished for countless riches, Solomon then wished to become human.
As for Shirou Mine, he felt that the wish he made should not consume much magic power.
After making a wish, Shirou Kotomine can take back the Greater Grail.
Then we continued our research on it.
"I'm such a genius!"
Kotomine Shirou leaned back abruptly, and with a smug smile, he leaned back in his chair.
Then, as Shirou Kotomine continued to make connections, another idea popped into his head.
Since he can cultivate a spatial-type Mystic Eye in his left eye, can he cultivate a time-type ability in his right eye using the power of the Holy Grail?
Shirou Kotomine originally planned to obtain time-related magic to gain the ability to travel through time, observe time, and absorb the power of time.
Then, based on this, the ability to interfere with different time axes can be designed.
Whether this can be achieved is currently just wishful thinking.
But Shirou Kotomine thinks it's worth a try.
In reality, even if everything goes smoothly up to the beginning, designing the interference time axis-related capabilities at the end presents a huge challenge.
Even if it could be achieved, it would take a very long time.
It took him several months to develop his spatial abilities to this point.
This is already a very fast pace.
But he no longer had the next few months to hone his skills in time management.
Therefore, if he can first cultivate a time-based ability in his right eye, it will save him a lot of time that would otherwise be spent improving his time-based ability, allowing him to quickly design the ability that Kotomine Shirou needs.
"That's definitely a good idea!"
With his inspiration surging even further, Shirou Kotomine's face was filled with joy.
The method he derived from this association was extremely important to him.
"So, does that mean the first thing I need to do is obtain Kiritsugu Emiya's magic loop? No, perhaps I can go even further."
At this moment, countless inspirations were constantly colliding in Shirou Kotomine's eyes.
All sorts of sparks of inspiration kept emerging.
Kotomine Shirou started brainstorming.
At the desk in this room, Shirou Kotomine would sit for an entire day.
Throughout the day, his mind was filled with inspiration, which he then refined, and in the process of refining those inspirations, new ones continued to emerge.
This cycle continues without ceasing.
This process took a whole day.
The next morning, looking at the notebook filled with his inspiration notes, Shirou Kotomine's face was full of smiles.
He gained far more in this Holy Grail War than he had imagined.
After thoroughly sorting out his thoughts, Shirou Kotomine left his room and headed outside.
As he wanders through the castle of the Thousand World Tree, Shirou Kotomine discovers that many places have been restored.
They truly are a family of magicians.
"You're finally out, Shirou!"
Just as Shirou Kotomine was admiring the results of the artificial beings created by the Yggdrasil family, Jeanne's voice suddenly entered his ears.
Good morning, Joan of Arc.
Upon seeing this, Kotomine Shirou turned around and greeted him.
"Good morning." Joan of Arc shook her head slightly and emphasized, "It's just a good morning for the second day."
"Haha, I was busy all day yesterday trying to sort out what's going on next, and I haven't even eaten yet. So, could you take me to eat first?"
Rubbing his stomach, Shirou Kotomine made a request with a grin.
He didn't eat anything yesterday, and he didn't feel hungry at the time.
But after finishing his mental exertion, Shirou Kotomine felt a wave of hunger as soon as he stepped out of the room.
And this feeling is getting more and more intense.
Although Shirou Kotomine had previously stayed in this castle as Gordes, it wasn't for very long.
During that time, he almost never left his room.
The food is delivered to them by artificial beings.
So he wasn't very familiar with where the restaurant was.
Of course, Shirou Kotomine did have other ways to obtain a restaurant location, but how could they compare to Jeanne d'Arc's personal leadership?
"That's right, you must be hungry. Let's go eat!"
After saying that, Jeanne led Kotomine Shirou toward the restaurant.
The castle of the Thousand Worlds was not as deserted as Shirou Kotomine had imagined; on the contrary, it was quite lively.
Because at this time, the people from the Magic Association had already arrived here.
After all, the Thousand Trees family had previously publicly declared that they wanted to break away from the Magicians' Association and establish their own independent entity, and that they wanted to challenge the status of the Magicians' Association.
The Holy Grail War began as a battle between the Mage's Association and the Yggdrasil family.
But by this time, Danic, the culprit, was already dead, and more importantly, the Mage Association had chosen terrorists like Amakusa Shiro Tokisada as participants.
Indeed, in the eyes of the Mage Association, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's actions were tantamount to terrorist behavior.
Once his wish is fulfilled, the world will quickly face its end.
This makes things very difficult for the Magic Association itself.
So they sent El-Melloi II, also known as Weber, to handle the matter.
Webber himself was not the cruel type of a typical magician.
Therefore, after the death of the culprit Danic, he did not focus on dealing with the Yggdrasil family.
Even so, the future patriarch of the Yggdrasil family still needs to go to the Magic Association to study and act as a "host".
Just like the ending in the original trajectory.
"I guess this is a win-win situation!"
After listening to Jeanne's account of what happened at the Thousand Trees Castle yesterday, Shirou Kotomine chuckled.
This is indeed a good thing for the remaining members of the Yggdrasil family.
Similarly, this is also a good thing for Shirou Kotomine.
He was thinking of making contact with people in the Magic Association.
Unexpectedly, Weber appeared.
This pleased Kotomine Shirou immensely.
