The perfect fusion of dimensional apocalypse

Chapter 441 Extracting the Lesser Holy Grail

Emiya Kiritsugu agreed to Zhou Xiaoning's request without hesitation, after all, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for him.

"Just wanting to summon the 'Great Holy Grail' doesn't it require the magic power of at least five heroic spirits. Even if we work together to eliminate the other heroic spirits, there are only four. Of the remaining Saber, Lancer, and Berserker, which one do you plan to sacrifice?"

Irisviel's words really hit the point. Although she usually seems very innocent, at certain times, she can always catch the point one step ahead of others.

Hearing what Irisviel said, Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria couldn't help but become alert. If Lancer and Berserker besieged Arturia at that time, even if Emiya Kiritsugu used the Command Seal, he might not be the opponent .

Judging from Matou Kariya's loyalty to Zhou Xiaoning, he would definitely not snatch the Holy Grail. In this way, wouldn't the final winner be Zhou Xiaoning?
"Hehe, what am I thinking, you can rest assured about this."

Zhou Xiaoning shook his head amusedly, it seems that Emiya Kiritsugu and the others were really intimidated by Zhou Xiaoning, they like to think about everything in the direction of conspiracy, and the basic trust between people is gone.

In order to make Emiya Kiritsugu form an alliance with him at ease, Zhou Xiaoning revealed a secret.

"Actually, Fengxian is not a heroic spirit, he should be called a guardian spirit. And the real Lancer has already been killed by me, and his magic power has also been sealed by me in something that is going to serve as the carrier of the 'Little Holy Grail'. That is to say , as long as four more heroic spirits are eliminated, the conditions for summoning the Holy Grail can be met, so you can rest assured."

"Unexpectedly, it's not a heroic spirit!"

Arturia showed an unbelievable expression. She had fought against Lu Bu. Even among the heroic spirits, Lu Bu was among the top batch.But now Zhou Xiaoning suddenly told her that Lu Bu is not a heroic spirit, which means that Lu Bu does not have the bonus of treasures and legends.Even so, she almost defeated her. If Lu Bu could be sublimated into a heroic spirit, how strong would it be?

"No wonder, this makes sense."

Emiya Kiritsugu believed Zhou Xiaoning's words, although it was unbelievable, but as the current strongest party, Zhou Xiaoning didn't need to make up such lies to deceive them.

"In this case, let's sign a self-mandatory certificate."

Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have been prepared long ago, and took out a parchment scroll from his bosom.This parchment scroll is obviously specially processed, with a trace of magic power fluctuations, and only such parchment scrolls have the ability to carry self-compulsory testimonials.

"I said, how much do you distrust me? Is my credit so low?"

Zhou Xiaoning scratched his head helplessly, if possible, he really didn't want to sign this thing, it would make him feel like he was being restrained.

Looking at all the works in the Xingyue series, except for the protagonist and the small group around him, most magicians are egoists. In order to achieve their own goals, they don't care too much about others.Therefore, without a strong means of restraint, it would be really difficult for each other to cooperate with confidence.

It is precisely because of this that the self-enforcement testimonial came into being. This is a spell contract, using the function of its own magic seal to impose the curse of "force (Geas)" on the caster himself, in principle, by any means cannot cancel its effect.Once the magician signs the certificate and meets the conditions of the oath to make the certificate come into effect, even if the person who made the oath is dead, as long as the magic engraving is passed on to the next generation, the effect of the certificate will still be effective, and even the soul after death will be bound.

Basically, after signing a self-enforcement certificate, you cannot violate it unless you are prepared to withstand the backlash of the contract, or you take advantage of the loopholes in the contract and use another means to achieve your goal. Simply put, it is playing a word game. In the original plot Emiya Kiritsugu did this before, and even tricked Kenneth to death, and made Lancer leave the game very frustrated.

So with this lesson learned from the past, Zhou Xiaoning really didn't dare to sign a self-compulsory certificate with Emiya Kiritsugu easily, for fear of being tricked by him.

"Be prepared, only in this way can we feel at ease with each other, isn't it?"

With that said, Emiya Kiritsugu began to write on the parchment scroll, and signed his name on it.

"No, no, I'm even more worried about you."

Resisting the urge to complain, Zhou Xiaoning picked up the parchment and looked at it again and again. The content of the testimonial on it was indeed what he said before, that is, before the Holy Grail was summoned, the two parties would be allies and must cooperate sincerely. Do anything to hurt the other person.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoning was overthinking this time. Emiya Kiritsugu really didn't think about playing any tricks. After all, Zhou Xiaoning's strength lies there. Even if he wants to make small moves, he must have that strength.What's more, although Emiya Kiritsugu didn't fully believe what he said before, but at least he listened to it. If the Holy Grail really becomes the Black Holy Grail as Zhou Xiaoning said, in order to prevent the evil of this world from harming the present world, Zhou Xiaoning's strength is indispensable.

After Zhou Xiaoning confirmed it repeatedly, he also signed his name on it.

At the moment Zhou Xiaoning stopped writing, he could clearly feel a mysterious power blessing him, and the very assimilative source power did not respond to it, which made Zhou Xiaoning's last bit of luck come to naught. .

"I hope we can cooperate happily."

Zhou Xiaoning forced a smile, and returned the parchment to Emiya Kiritsugu.

In fact, this parchment is not important after both parties sign their names and the contract is officially activated. Even if it is destroyed, the contract will not be invalidated.

Apparently Emiya Kiritsugu thought the same way, he casually put the parchment into his pocket, and then said to Zhou Xiaoning: "Now you can explain to me how you want to take out the 'Little Holy Grail' from Alice's body. .”

It's no wonder that Emiya Kiritsugu would ask, after all, the so-called "Little Holy Grail" is not a specific thing, but a special technique, and now Irisviel is the "Little Holy Grail".As an artificial human specially used to serve as the carrier of the "Little Holy Grail", once the "Little Holy Grail" is forcibly stripped, Irisviel will also die, so Emiya Kiritsugu has to be more cautious.

"Don't worry, that's a special ability of mine. It can extract something substantial or conceptual from a target whose strength is not much stronger than mine. It's nothing more than a Holy Grail spell."

Although Zhou Xiaoning gave an explanation, but looking at Emiya Kiritsugu's appearance, he obviously didn't really believe it.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome." Zhou Xiaoning scratched his hair in distress and said, "If this is the case, then I will prove it to you!"

Zhou Xiaoning stretched out his right hand to Emiya Kiritsugu, and made a grabbing motion.

Soon, Zhou Xiaoning's consciousness invaded into Emiya Kiritsugu's mental image space, where many light spots could be seen, some were Emiya Kiritsugu's memories, some were magic tricks he had mastered, and some represented various emotions.

Zhou Xiaoning didn't touch those memories and emotions, but aimed at the light spot that represented magic.

Among the magics mastered by Emiya Kiritsugu, there is one that interests Zhou Xiaoning very much, that is Inherent Time Control, which is a magic involving time.

I have to say that the ancestors of the Wei Gong family are really talented, and they were able to research such magic. However, none of their family has been protected by the power of time, so when performing this magic, they will be subject to various restrictions and consume a lot of magic power Not to mention, there will be sequelae.

In contrast, Zhou Xiaoning doesn't have this problem. With the inherent time control, he can use it as a reference to optimize his method of using the power of time, so that the ability of the eye of time can really reach the point where it can be used in actual combat .

Pick the right target, [Universal Extraction] activates.

Emiya Kiritsugu's strength was still lower than that of Zhou Xiaoning, so Zhou Xiaoning easily extracted what he wanted.However, he didn't do too much, he just took away half of the light spot representing the inherent control of time.Although Emiya Kiritsugu would feel unfamiliar with this magic, but as long as he practiced a few more times, he would soon be able to return to his original level.

When Zhou Xiaoning used the inherent temporal restraint in front of Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know that he was cheated again, but it seemed that he dug the hole himself. There is no reason to go.

"Okay, I believe you, hurry up and do it."

Emiya Kiritsugu's face was ashen. Anyone who has worked hard for decades to master something will be quite depressed if someone picks up something ready-made. Miya Kiritsugu really wanted to give Zhou Xiaoning two punches.

"It's over if you say so earlier, why bother."

Zhou Xiaoning chuckled, his expression was simply a typical example of being good-looking after being cheap.

Hearing what he said, even the always calm Emiya Kiritsugu almost fainted from anger, how could there be such shameless people in the world.

But Emiya Kiritsugu was somewhat rational, knowing that Zhou Xiaoning's help was still needed for the "Little Holy Grail", so he suppressed his anger and did not turn his face on the spot.

Zhou Xiaoning accepted it as soon as it was good, and never challenged Emiya Kiritsugu's tolerance limit again.He came to Irisviel, stretched out his hand towards her, and activated [Universal Extraction] again.

In terms of strength, Alice Phil was not as good as Emiya Kiritsugu, but Zhou Xiaoning's extraction power seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and the source power in his body began to be consumed rapidly, but it did not shake the Holy Grail technique by half.

"Tch, it seems that this Holy Grail technique is more troublesome than I thought. Emiya Kiritsugu, I need some time. Before I succeed, I can't be disturbed. Otherwise, you should prepare to collect your wife's body."

Leaving a word, Zhou Xiaoning didn't care about Emiya Kiritsugu, concentrated his mind, and activated [Universal Extraction] with all his strength, even his sense of the outside world became much duller.

At this time, if someone stabbed Zhou Xiaoning in the back, he would definitely not be able to avoid it.

But before doing this, you have to ask Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria if they agree, after all, they won't make fun of Irisviel's life.
