Chapter 46

Because only heroes who had no wishes before death possess the conditions to become a Ruler.

"That can't be; I heard that you were a very paranoid person during your lifetime."

Iskandar was somewhat skeptical.

"It should be considered a kind of epiphany; I suddenly saw things clearly before I died."

The First Emperor said indifferently: "When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out; everything will become smoke and clouds. Looking back at the past, one will find that one really did many ridiculous things."

Iskandar: "Can you tell me about them?"

"For example, pursuing immortality while building a tomb for oneself."

The First Emperor said nonchalantly: "Clearly not believing in immortality myself, yet persistently searching for it; after all the trouble, I didn't even achieve longevity."

Iskandar laughed: "Hahaha, humans are indeed contradictory creatures."

"Hmph, immortality is just the gods playing with humans."

Gilgamesh snorted coldly at this time, as if thinking of something that made him angry.

Iskandar asked curiously: "Oh, Gilgamesh, you seem to have insights into the pursuit of immortality as well."

Feng Xi said indifferently: "The elderly Gilgamesh once obtained the elixir of immortality from the underworld, but before he could drink it after bringing it back, it was snatched away by a snake."

Gilgamesh: "Who asked you, mongrel, to talk too much!"

Iskandar: "Gilgamesh, your luck is really bad."

"How could there be such a coincidence."

Gilgamesh glanced at Ishtar and said coldly: "My luck has always been very good, and how could a snake suddenly appear in the king's bedroom? I don't need to say the trickery in this."

"Why are you looking at me? That matter has nothing to do with me."

Ishtar rolled her eyes; this Gilgamesh really threw all the dirty water on her.

"Hmph!"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Cough, cough..."

Iskandar continued to ask the First Emperor: "First Emperor, besides immortality, did you have no other wishes during your lifetime?"

The First Emperor: "There was one more, which was to let my Great Qin be passed down for ten thousand generations."

Iskandar: "Do you not want to realize it now?"

The First Emperor: "No need, I think the current country is not bad."

"Is that so..."

Iskandar scratched his head: "Oh my, then who won this debate?"

He had not forgotten that they were conducting a debate.

Since the First Emperor stated that he had no wishes he wanted to realize, it was a disguised way of saying he was not participating in this topic.

And Gilgamesh, this guy was unwilling to say his wish, which was also equivalent to giving up on this topic.

Therefore, this debate became a struggle between the King of Knights and the King of Conquerors.

"You won."

Feng Xi spoke up at this time.

"Hm? Why?"

Everyone's eyes gathered on Feng Xi.

"Have you forgotten the debate topic set earlier?"

Feng Xi reminded: "Based on each person's wish, see who is more suitable to hold the Holy Grail."

"Do you also want to say that my wish has problems?"

Artoria frowned.

"I will not judge your wish; such things cannot be clearly defined as right or wrong."

Feng Xi explained: "But King of Knights, you must know what kind of consequences your wish will cause."

Artoria: "Consequences? What consequences?"

Feng Xi: "As for consequences, wasn't it already pointed out in the previous Q&A?"

"When?"

Artoria was still somewhat confused.

"Singularities."

Seeing this, Feng Xi could only point it out directly.

That's right, even if the Holy Grail could really fulfill the King of Knights' wish, it would not have any impact on the present.

As a result, it would only cause a new Singularity.

If this Singularity leads to the destruction of human order, it would be on Chaldea's elimination list.

"What!"

Artoria was a bit dazed; she did not understand the concept of a Singularity.

"So that's it; it would indeed cause a Singularity."

Kayneth, who had reacted, explained: "History is already in the past and cannot be changed. Forcibly changing it is equivalent to growing a new sprout on the trunk called 'Proper Human History,' which will not affect the present."

"That's right."

Feng Xi continued: "Compared to this, isn't Iskandar's wish safer?"

"After all, no one knows what kind of impact a Singularity will cause."

"..."

Artoria was speechless and did not know how to refute.

Even Lancelot did not know how to comfort her.

After all, looking at the consequences, Iskandar's wish was indeed safer.

Iskandar: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would win in the end."

Waver: "I feel like we didn't get to say much."

Waver (the second): "We just need to give the King advice at the appropriate time."

Kayneth: "But kid, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about Singularities."

Feng Xi: "I am just slightly interested and have studied some theories blindly."

[Based on the discussion results, the King of Conquerors' group wins this debate.]

[The King of Conquerors receives 10 Saint Quartz, and the remaining group members each receive 5 Saint Quartz.]

Iskandar laughed: "Caster's Master, it seems you have to let me have the first place today."

Feng Xi: "There are still two questions left, don't be happy too early."

Rin Tohsaka: "The first question is over, are we going to be sent back?"

[After this Q&A ends, the system will send all group members back to their original positions.]

[The first question is over; the second question begins now.]

[This question is a multiple-choice question. Please watch the following video carefully and then choose according to the question.]

"Must we go to live in the house in Zenjo?"

Under the twilight, at the Tohsaka residence, Aoi Tohsaka looked worried, while Rin Tohsaka beside her was hanging her head in anger.

Tokiomi Tohsaka said solemnly: "Once the Holy Grail War begins, it will not be safe here."

Rin Tohsaka said in a low voice: "I want to help Father win the Holy Grail War."

"Rin, do not make things difficult for your father."

Aoi Tohsaka advised.

Rin Tohsaka looked up at Tokiomi Tohsaka and said: "Are we in the way?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka explained: "That is not it. This time, we must be more foolproof than usual, so we must ensure your safety. Therefore, it is better for you to leave Fuyuki."

"Is this a story about me?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka thought to himself.

"..."

Sakura Matou looked at the Tohsaka residence in the video and could not help but lower her head.

Without her, she was no longer a person of the Tohsaka family in the video.

Rin Tohsaka, seeing this, immediately held her hand.
