Chapter 505: Tao Baibai's Ambition

"What was your name again, Qiu Luo?"

"Alright Qiu Luo, I guess you probably know those people in the Matou family, wanting to steer the course of the Holy Grail War toward that ending, and then have Tohsaka Rin hold the Jeweled Sword to end everything."

"But it's a pity, that kind of thing is already destined not to happen."

Tao Baibai's words made Tohsaka Rin and the Heroic Spirit Emiya feel baffled, especially Tohsaka Rin; she never knew she had already become a part of Qiu Luo's plan.

Moreover, as for that thing called the 【Jeweled Sword】, although the Tohsaka family has a so-called design blueprint, that is simply not something a human Magician could create; that is... Magic!

Qiu Luo's expression was solemn; he indeed held that thought.

Their team's strength was comparable to the Carnivorous Flower team, but theoretically, the Carnivorous Flower team, backed by Matou Sakura who could turn dark at any moment, had a greater advantage in strength.

They could only choose to rely on the advantage of the plot, letting Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou cooperate, and through Emiya Shirou's Projection Magecraft, find a way to make the 【Jeweled Sword】 appear, and then Tohsaka Rin could naturally hold the 【Jeweled Sword】 and slaughter everyone.

Besides, for a treasure of the 【Jeweled Sword】's level, as a Reincarnator, who wouldn't have ideas about it...

He associated this with the fact that Tao Baibai had already attacked the Matou family mansion, guessing whether the other party had already killed Matou Sakura.

Bai Cangshu, however, did not give him any more Intelligence, but suddenly changed the subject and said,

"Baimian should have contacted you, right."

Qiu Luo was startled, his expression changed slightly, and he did not answer.

Bai Cangshu only sneered.

"I guess Baimian must have promised you quite a lot of things, and even after knowing I appeared, she would tell you that you could join forces to hunt me down..."

At this moment, another voice happened to come through the earpiece in Qiu Luo's ear.

"Boss, that person Baimian discovered us; she contacted us saying she could dispatch Gilgamesh to help us hunt down Tao Baibai..."

Although the voice in Qiu Luo's ear was faint, Bai Cangshu's senses, with his Constitution breaking through 50, were already sharp enough to hear the number of wing beats of a fly clearly.

He just curled his lips and looked at Qiu Luo.

Qiu Luo's face turned pale, and he immediately refused.

"Tell her we aren't interested, tell her to get lost!"

He felt a bit guilty, but Bai Cangshu did not care about this.

After choosing to hunt down Baimian, he not only paid attention to the Type-Moon World that Baimian was about to enter, but also specifically collected various past deeds of Baimian.

He discovered that this person Baimian indeed possessed a considerable degree of Reincarnator talent; she was worthy of being a Reincarnator who could obtain the 【Card】 Special Sequence.

During her growth process, the number of teams Baimian had successively toyed with and caused to collapse exceeded 10, among which the most famous was 【Fifth Element】.

The 【Kai】 of Fifth Element was a Reincarnator and martial artist with excellent combat aptitude, but he was completely played in the palm of Baimian's hand.

Baimian liked to toy with other Reincarnators; for her, things like credibility had no need to exist at all.

She often used her unique study of the plot world to grasp the world's general trend, and then used that trend to force other Reincarnator teams to cooperate with her.

Those Reincarnator teams clearly knew Baimian's malicious nature, but because they feared the general trend, they could only harbor wishful thinking and cooperate with her, only to be abandoned by Baimian in the end as expected.

At the same time, Baimian was very skilled at digging into hidden plots and searching for various secret items; she was a genius Reincarnator on a non-combat level.

Bai Cangshu had already experienced this once in the Jujutsu Kaisen World, but at that time, Bai Cangshu only thought Baimian had used special card abilities to manage to open the 【Taishan Fujun Festival】 in that world; however, judging from the information learned afterward,

Baimian herself was very skilled at digging into the secret information of these plot worlds.

She probably realized that there were connections between those Derivative Worlds even earlier than Bai Cangshu, and deliberately collected items to allow herself to complete a unique sublimation across worlds. With the blessing of the Noble Phantasm 【Heart Vortex】, and having this information, Bai Cangshu knew very well what Baimian's true purpose was.

These other Reincarnators were nothing more than tools Baimian found to delay him; the reason Bai Cangshu did not continue trying to kill the Matou family was that he had a clearer plan.

Baimian's ultimate goal was to initiate the 【Human Instrumentality Project】 in this world, although he did not know how Baimian would initiate the 【Human Instrumentality Project】 in a world without 【Apostle】s.

But since Baimian did not let Gilgamesh try to kill him directly when they first met, even if there was the factor that she could not command Gilgamesh well,

at least, Baimian's murderous intent toward him was not that strong.

This could only mean that Baimian's plan still needed time.

Bai Cangshu actually had a more direct guess: in this world, to make all humans turn into "orange juice" and fuse completely, the most reliable method was probably only that one.

The 【All the World's Evils】 carried in the Greater Grail at this moment would twist people's wishes and realize them in the most evil way.

Baimian's wish was quite complementary to that Black Mud.

In other words, Baimian actually hoped that Bai Cangshu would hunt everywhere; she only needed to let other Reincarnators and Masters form an alliance with her.

Then she could watch Bai Cangshu fight those people to the death.

Whether Bai Cangshu won and the Holy Grail War ended early, or Bai Cangshu died and she slowly harvested the results, both were good endings.

If Bai Cangshu wanted to kill Matou Sakura, he would inevitably have to fight Rider Medusa; even though Bai Cangshu now had a considerable grasp of winning, he was unwilling to start the battle at this moment.

Because he also had his own plan.

If Baimian wanted the 【All the World's Evils】 that would descend after the Holy Grail War ended, then what Bai Cangshu coveted was something even further ahead.

He wanted... Heroic Spirits.

Yes, after Bai Cangshu saw that he could obtain the same nature as his target by releasing the Noble Phantasm 【Heart Vortex】, he had a bold idea.

Now there was a Lesser Grail, Ilya, in this world, as well as Matou Sakura who was an approximate Lesser Grail, but he himself could completely become the third Lesser Grail.

Moreover, Ilya and Matou Sakura would have major problems because Heroic Spirits were stored in their bodies, and they would eventually die.

But he was not afraid...

His inner self had long since become a battlefield for various spirits; in this world, he had successively captured the incomplete Spirit Bodies of a guardian spirit and a reaper, increasing the richness of the spirit seeds in his sea of consciousness.

【Heroic Spirit】s, however, were different from those complete spirits; how exactly the so-called legendary bonus operated, and whether the so-called Noble Phantasms could be accommodated by his sea of consciousness...

Bai Cangshu's exploration of plot worlds was far less profound than Baimian's, but his obsession and madness for various powers were above Baimian's.

Therefore, he acted contrary to his usual behavior and did not go on a killing spree, but instead showed mercy and wanted to cooperate with others, hoping that before he was ready, the Servants would not die as much as possible.

And after he was ready... it would be best if all the Servants died in an instant.

Bai Cangshu smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Perhaps you aren't aware, I am a very good collaborator and very compliant with the Contract."

Qiu Luo was half-believing and half-doubting; indeed, there were no rumors of Tao Baibai breaking a contract. On the contrary, that woman, Red Lotus Mage Luo Xi, had regained the trust of His Excellency 【Dead Silence Fate】 and regrouped because of her cooperation with Tao Baibai.

Qiu Luo looked at Tao Baibai, who was within arm's reach, and after hesitating, finally nodded.
