My name is Lin Hao.
Saber is done...

"It" is watching the two wishers.
Generally speaking, a wish consists of two parts, "what you want" and "the price you pay".
In most cases, only if the two are equivalent can the wish be realized.
Nine out of ten times when a wish is granted with almost no cost, it is deliberately distorted and fulfilled by "it", and the wisher will pay a greater price afterwards.
The Holy Grail War is a wishing ceremony created by magicians based on the principle of "equivalent exchange"-at the cost of the souls of six servants and the magic power accumulated for sixty years, the two wishes of the winner and his heroic spirit will be realized.
"It" has no interest in this kind of rigorous wish-making ceremony that has no tricks and can't find any loopholes. In most cases, those small wishes can't consume all the magic power, so there is no room for distortion.
However, Emiya Kiritsugu's wish is "world peace". To realize it, the price prepared by the Holy Grail War is not enough. Even if he paid an additional price of "carrying all the evil in the world", the two sides are still far from equal, Under normal circumstances, this "world peace" will be achieved by reducing the time or scope, but in the eyes of "it", it is actually very simple to achieve.
If Emiya Kiritsugu kills all human beings, there will naturally be no more fighting and bloodshed between human beings. At the same time, he also bears all the evil in the world because of destroying human beings, which is very in line with the principle of equivalent exchange.
As for the other wisher, "it" didn't know what to do for a while.
"Evil" will inevitably lead to pain and misfortune, and when suffering and misfortune, the cause will be judged as "evil".
"Bear all the pain and misfortune in the world, regardless of the past, present, or future." It seems similar to Emiya Kiritsugu's "Bear all the evil in the world", but it is completely opposite, because it is not a "price", but a "wish". .
And compared to [all the evil in the world "at this time"] that can take advantage of loopholes, this one that has deliberately added qualifiers cannot be deliberately distorted at all.
Maybe Lin Hao thinks that she will die after fulfilling this wish, so she doesn't care how much she bears. However, "it" is very clear that there are many ways to make people endure pain without dying at all, and these methods will surely follow. The fulfillment of this wish appeared in her.
Although as an "it" that is preparing to maliciously fulfill all wishes in this Holy Grail War, it is a good thing that someone makes such a wish.
However, at what cost? If one wants to comply with the principle of equivalent exchange and suffer this degree of pain and misfortune, what kind of benefits should be obtained? Do you want to hand over the priesthood of "it" in charge of "the evil in this world"?
It seems that it is not impossible, when ordinary human beings rashly accept the priesthood, the spirit will only be assimilated, even if the priesthood is far inferior to the incarnation of the main body, then "it" can calmly take back the priesthood.
But before that, I still look for an opportunity to trick her into accepting certain "prices" and give up other benefits voluntarily.

In the inherent barrier of [King's Army], the battle between Saber Alter and Rider has lasted for nearly half an hour, the billowing yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, and the originally flat desert was cut into countless deep ravines.
It is not the kind of timid battle that restrains one's own strength so as not to cause damage to the surrounding ordinary people's residences, but a duel between armies.
Relying on the fact that they could be resurrected countless times in the barrier, the Macedonian soldiers rushed towards the surrounded black armored Saber—and were blown away by the black whirlwind again.
The dignified EX-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm is actually ineffective against Saber Alter alone, this can only show——
"She alone is an army..." Weber stood on the driver's seat of Shenwei Wheel, looking at the battlefield with a unwilling expression.
He has used all the tactics he could think of, and Rider personally participated in two of the battles. Now, with the continuous consumption of the magic power of the heroic spirits on both sides, the rebirth time of soldiers is getting longer and longer, and the frequency of Saber activating Black Wind has also begun to decline. .
After she successfully prevented Saber from launching a round table discussion, she no longer intended to use the Noble Phantasm, and relied solely on superb martial arts to cope with the attack of the king's army, and the level of mana consumption was unexpectedly similar to that of Rider.
Ordinary enemies can be crushed enough with the wheel of Kamui, and powerful or numerous enemies can be dealt with by the army of the king. Weber, who has always planned this way, now finds that the two treasures of Iskandar conflict with each other—if he uses the army of the king to siege the number of Few enemies, the Kamui wheel will be blocked by soldiers.
If Saber Alter and the white one can't use the Noble Phantasm combo together, the best strategy is to leave her in the present world to chase the soldiers who have manifested the king's army and pursue them with the wheel of divine power.
"Get ready to use the Kamui wheel again, Rider." Weber counted Saber's attack frequency: "With three more swords, she will use that black wind—"
Crack, Crack, Crack - Saber Alter swung his sword to repel the three nearest soldiers, then turned around and raised the blood-stained black sword towards the dense crowd of soldiers, a black light immediately glowed on the sword.
In a protracted battle, it is very important to maintain the frequency and rhythm of the attack. Fighting indiscriminately will only quickly consume physical strength. According to previous observations, at this time Saber should take the opportunity to fly nearby soldiers and rest for a few seconds, which also means At that time, she will be in a state of rigidity, unable to move or dodge.
[Distant kneading and controlling hegemony! 】
Rider, who already understood Weber's plan, drove the bullock cart over without hesitation.
However, Saber didn't blow the black wind, she held the sword and turned half a circle, the target of the blade was aimed at the speeding Kamui wheel with blue and purple lightning, and the black light that appeared was not the hammer of the humble king , but a sign of her liberation of the treasure.
A round table review is not a necessary condition for using a Noble Phantasm, and Weber is well aware of this, but he was confused by Saber Alter's fighting style all along, thinking that she planned to fight Rider, who must consume more than her because of the opening of the inherent barrier Compete for staying power.
If she swings this Noble Phantasm attack, she will undoubtedly be unable to continue to fight against the king's army, so just dodge this time... Before Weber opened his mouth, he saw Iskandar's expression, it was a kind of good feeling. opponents and eager to conquer.
"Rush over before she uses the treasure!" Weber finally said, since the opponent is not a strong enemy that can be defeated by strategy, it is not impossible to use the usual methods of the King of Conquerors.
"Hahaha! No problem!" Iskandar raised the dagger in his hand, drove the bullock cart and charged the black light that soared into the sky with rolling thunder.
[Oath and Sword of Victory! 】
"Choke!" Saber Alter's Noble Phantasm attack flew high into the sky.
Although her sword is faster, but Rider's target was not her in the first place. The Kamui wheel galloped past Saber dangerously, brushing against the unspread torrent, and the dagger that Rider swung smoothly hit the broken steel The hilt of the sword successfully changes its trajectory.
"Oops..." Wei Bo glanced back at the direction where the oath and the sword of victory flew out, he didn't even have the intention of urging Rider to take the opportunity to attack Saber.
At that position, a giant ship made entirely of gemstones is moored, which is the one captured from Tohsaka Tokiomi. Although it does not have a cab, it is still a magical creation as a whole, so it can be controlled to a certain extent. It was parked in the air to prevent it from being affected by the battle, but now it seems...
Boom! The pitch-black torrent hit the gem airship head-on, but it looked unchanged except that the surface began to turn red.
"Get out of here immediately!" Weber's expression changed drastically, and he immediately grabbed Iskandar's cloak and shouted: "It's better to even join the soldiers!"
"Well, what happened?" Rider asked casually, while waving his hand to make those Macedonian soldiers disappear into spirit bodies.
"What did you say when I checked after you snatched it?" Weber watched in horror as the spaceship became more and more red.
"'It was transformed into a nuclear bomb'? But you didn't explain what a nuclear bomb is." As the last soldier in sight transformed into a spirit body, Rider also began to break away from the inherent barrier.
"That's the one—" The gem spaceship suddenly turned white after it turned bright red, and then an orange mushroom cloud appeared in the sky, and a large amount of wind pressure and white light swept over the positions in front of Rider and Weber in the next second.

After Saber Lily led Luna to the beach, she finally regained some disadvantage.
Even if this Mercury girl can change into someone else's appearance to increase her combat power, it is absolutely impossible to imitate her inherent skills and her own characteristics.
Arturia, who has the blessing of the Fairy of the Lake, can walk freely on the water surface as if walking on flat ground, and even if Luna imitates it as much as possible, she has also merged with the heroic spirit to become a follower, and her body is also mercury, which is a heavy metal. Throw mercury bullets at Saber Lily on the bottom of the water.
"Lily is really smart, so Luna, who can't swim, can't use her strange martial arts." Irisviel, who was watching the battle on the cliff in the distance, praised her in a proud tone.
It is indeed a strange martial art. Emiya Kiritsugu has done some research on the "Kung Fu" of country C. Although some magician families will use it as a training course for their younger generations, and some boxing techniques or techniques are not small, but for those who use it without authorization To Kiritsugu who possesses [Inherent Temporal Control] and can completely overcome them, firearms are just insignificant information.
However, the "martial arts" used by Luna is more like a special kind of magic that combines martial arts. Many movements that ordinary martial arts can't do can also appear naturally, such as——
Luna in the distance jumped into the air again by stepping on the water, performed a few strange maneuvers in the air, and finally fought against Saber Lily who was stepping on the water before sinking back to the bottom of the sea like a weight.
"Bring Lily back, Alter has been hit hard, we need to retreat temporarily."
Kiritsugu lit a cigarette, and said to Irisviel after watching Luna fall straight into the deep bottom hole dug before.
