Chapter 530: All the World's Evils, Give It All to Me!

The golden Holy Grail appeared before Bai Cangshu, and the flesh on Bai Cangshu's chest had almost completely healed.

As for something like a heart, provided there is sufficient vitality, he can regenerate it countless times!

Using a single heart to end the Holy Grail War is a bargain of a choice.

That kind of intense, soul-tearing, piercing power is enough to completely rip apart and shatter an ordinary person's soul, causing a common human to die instantly.

But Bai Cangshu has long been accustomed to this level of pain; even that tearing sensation does not have much of an impact on him.

Not only has he constantly experienced the tearing of multiple souls vying for his body, but he has also once experienced a situation where multiple souls, including the God Hand Roland, Gojo Satoru, and Uchiha Madara, were fused together to share a single body.

When the Sage used the 【Spectator】 Sequence demigod ability to tear apart his Star Spirit Body, his sea of consciousness was already severely damaged.

The perforations caused by those Heroic Spirits leaving his body cannot affect him at all; the 【Heart Throne】 still hangs high.

In the world of consciousness, Gojo Satoru, Uchiha Madara, Black Face, the Millennium Worm, and others still hold their ground beneath the Heart Throne; in a sense, they are now a community of shared interests.

Furthermore, they are more familiar with this place than these powerful souls called 【Heroic Spirits】, and they understand very well that the 【Heart Throne】 is the only true core of this world.

As long as the 【Heart Throne】 is not occupied, the tearing of the outer wall of the sea of consciousness is of no real use.

What was the outcome of that large-scale escape of ghosts in the end?

Wasn't it just that once the host's ability was activated, hundreds of thousands of ghosts were all sucked back in, looking crestfallen...

The giant white spirit body transformed by Black Face is like a long snake; she maintains that special spirit body nature, not only capable of free transformation but also possessing a powerful ability to fuse and devour.

Saber's spirit body is entangled by her and unable to break free for the moment; Saber is actually unable to return to the Throne of Heroes.

But Black Face watches as a pitch-black giant suddenly appears in the sky; the next moment, before the pitch-black giant even lands, it is directly absorbed by red Magic Power, flying out of the sea of consciousness while smashing a huge gap in the outer wall of the sea of consciousness.

"No... no!"

Black Face's voice is hysterical, almost shaking the other ghosts in the vicinity to death; circles of AT Fields expand from around her body, and while completely preventing Saber from escaping, she locks herself entirely within the Yellow Springs.

She has realized that Tao Baibai's scheme has been fully realized, and Black Face frantically curses Heracles as a piece of trash.

Based on her perception, the state in which Tao Baibai physically tore apart her Human Instrumentality Project was absolutely abnormal.

If Tao Baibai could possess that level of combat power in a normal state, then it would be absolutely impossible for Tao Baibai to enter this world so easily.

That was already the combat performance of a top-tier Reincarnator at the current stage; as far as the 【Fate Eternal】 His Excellency faction she previously belonged to is concerned, apart from His Excellency, perhaps only one or two people could reach that level.

Therefore, that state of Tao Baibai's is not sustainable; it is highly likely an accident, and combined with the appearance of Root Shiki, perhaps the Counter Force played some role in it.

She is convinced that if Heracles fought with all his might, even if Tao Baibai could win, it would be impossible to end the battle in a short time.

But Heracles actually entered this world so quickly to help Tao Baibai complete the ritual, which makes her go near-distorted with madness.

Saber's expression is calm, and intense Magic Power shrouds her body; even without that scabbard known as the strongest defensive Noble Phantasm in the Type-Moon World, it would be very difficult for Black Face to truly devour her.

Moreover, Saber calmly accepts her own defeat and death, without distortion.

"That giant radiates a gentle and resolute will..."

She can tell that Heracles's state is not one of defeat in battle.

——

The world before Bai Cangshu suddenly changes; even with his spiritual power and perception ability, he cannot detect at all when he was pulled into the illusion.

He finds himself in a blank space, as if it were his own spiritual world, only this time, there are no millions of ghosts before him.

The spirit bodies of Gojo Satoru, Uchiha Madara, and others have also completely disappeared.

Only the Heart Throne hangs high in that blank space.

With a thought, Bai Cangshu arrives before the throne, but before he can sit on it, a woman with silver hair and red eyes has already appeared upon it.

Irisviel, Ilya's mother, the homunculus of the Einzberns, the Lesser Grail that exists for the Holy Grail War.

This sorrowful woman was kept in a castle her whole life; not only was she to be sacrificed as the Lesser Grail in the future, but the family also utilized her remaining value to recruit Emiya Kiritsugu, who was skilled in assassinating Magicians, as a son-in-law.

She fell in love with Emiya Kiritsugu and gave birth to a daughter, but in the end, she still walked toward her destined conclusion in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

This woman reveals a gentle smile, sitting on the Heart Throne.

"Bai Cangshu, you crave power, and you do not mind that such power is realized at any cost..."

Bai Cangshu lowers his eyelids, then sneers. This kind of illusion is clearly the work of the Holy Grail, but by common logic, the one pulled into the illusion should be his Master, Ilya.

His current identity is the Servant contracted to Ilya.

But this Greater Grail has pulled him here, which shows that the level represented by the Greater Grail is higher than he imagined.

At the very least, the Greater Grail, or the thing behind this ritual, is able to know his true identity and origin, and is able to peek into the fact that although he was also granted the container of a 【Class】...

In essence, he is not a Heroic Spirit; he is... a living being!

From this perspective, the other party peeking into his true name, and even his personality, is not much of a matter.

He suddenly reaches out, grabs "Irisviel" by the chin, and rubs it twice.

"Heh, I didn't expect the disguised skin to be so delicate. Is this the mystery of the 【Third Magic】, or are you trying to incite some strange Evil Intent in me?"

Bai Cangshu leans down, his face extremely close to the "Irisviel" on the throne, and those ruby-like eyes curl up the next moment, curling more and more.

The next moment, it becomes completely distorted, and the fair skin instantly turns black, completely transforming into a pitch-black little figure.

"You want power, and you don't care even if you know the Holy Grail before you is filled with 【All the World's Evils】; even if this power pours down and Fuyuki City, or even the entire Japan, is burned to ashes, you don't care..."

"Then, she will also die; do you not care..."

The Black Mud changes quickly, and the person sitting on the Heart Throne soon becomes the petite Ilya.

The young girl sits on the throne, her eyes vacant and ignorant, looking around, and says timidly,

"Assassin, where... is this?"

The demeanor, appearance, and even the emotions are imitated so perfectly that no difference can be seen.

Bai Cangshu perceives the Greater Grail's intention; it is impossible for the other party not to sense that he does not care too much about any life.

But the Greater Grail also senses that he is coveting the special bond between Ilya and Heracles, that power of the 【Heart】!

The other party is forcing him to let go.

Bai Cangshu lowers his head, yet the corners of his mouth rise higher and higher.

"Since you can see my thoughts, then you should see them a little more clearly."

"My longing and Greed Sin for power cannot be dismissed by the bestowal of such a small amount of Magic Power... I, I crave all the power!"

"Give me everything you have!"

Bai Cangshu raised his head, his voice growing louder and louder, until in the end, it was like a roar.

The voice echoed around the Heart Throne.

Ilya turned into Black Mud in an Instant, and Bai Cangshu sat directly on the Heart Throne, letting the Black Mud wrap around him.

In the real world, the blood moon in the Heaven seemed to have a hole torn in it, and the golden Holy Grail in front of Bai Cangshu began to tilt.

Boom!

The Black Mud, accompanied by scarlet flames, poured down with a crash, directly covering Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu moved his Footwork, already grabbing the Holy Grail and leaping hundreds of meters away, but the next moment, that terrifying erosion caused him to lose the ability to act.

【You have suffered erosion: All the World's Evils, body functions have significantly decreased】

【Regeneration ability has been weakened】

【Immortality has been weakened】

【Conducting Soul check...】

【Check successful, you have exempted yourself from this damage】

【Conducting Soul check...】

【Body functions are significantly decreasing...】
