Shiro Amakusa left a program in the magic base plate of the Great Holy Grail. As long as his heart stopped beating, the Great Holy Grail would immediately self-destruct.
The reason why the Great Holy Grail hadn't self-destructed until now was because Ryuga had set up a rune barrier to separate the inside from the outside, so that the Great Holy Grail couldn't sense Shiro Amakusa's condition for the time being.
Once the Great Holy Grail came out of the barrier and sensed Shiro Amakusa's death, it would still self-destruct, making Ryuga's trip be in vain.
Therefore, Ryuga was bound to enter the Great Holy Grail and remove the program buried in the Great Holy Grail. Only then could he use the Great Holy Grail as he pleased.
"So that's how it is."
Karon already knew about Shiro Amakusa's matter, so he was enlightened.
"In that case, let's deal with the Great Holy Grail first. It just so happens that there's still some time before we return to Milenia Citadel."
"Okay."
Ryuga nodded, and then he sprayed flames under his feet again.
After floating in the air, he came from Mystic Dragon's back to her chest, and under the gaze of several people, his figure gradually disappeared into the barrier.
Inside the barrier.
The Great Holy Grail was quietly floating in this barrier, exuding a mysterious light as always.
However, because the number of servants' souls had exceeded the number of seven, the Great Holy Grail had been activated at this time, and it was no longer in a closed state, repelling outsiders from entering.
In fact, as long as Ryuga wanted to, he could let the Great Holy Grail use the souls of those servants to open the door to the outside world and go to the Vortex of Origin.
That was the lifelong wish of countless magicians. As long as he could reach the Vortex of Origin, there was hope to achieve the sixth magic — but the probability was very small.
Ryuga knew his own level. Although his magic was powerful, it still couldn't reach the level of magic. Even if he could get close to the Vortex of Origin, he couldn't achieve magic, so he didn't plan to go there at all.
Ryuga approached the Great Holy Grail, then stretched out his hand, and his whole body sank into the Great Holy Grail little by little.
…
It was like being grabbed by the ankle and then swung around.
The instant she entered the Great Holy Grail, Ryuga experienced this incomparably chaotic feeling.
The Great Holy Grail was a miracle created by the Third Law. The laws within it were completely different from the laws of the outside world. All the laws of physics in the outside world were useless here.
Inside the Great Holy Grail, the concept of time and space became incomparably thin.
It was impossible to distinguish up, down, left, right, front, back, and so on. Being in this place, one could not even feel the passage of time. Slowly, even the speed of one's thoughts would slow down.
Not only that, but there was also no concept of temperature here, which meant that Ryuga's body temperature would constantly drop until she died.
This feeling was even more terrifying than not being able to sense time and space. Not being able to sense time and space would only cause one to fall into chaos. However, the loss of one's body temperature would cause one to watch helplessly as one walked towards death. Even if one wanted to struggle, they were powerless. This kind of fear was even more horrifying than any punishment.
And in this incomparably chaotic space, Ryuga's expression was still indifferent. Ignoring all the chaos, she lifted her feet and walked forward.
Although the laws of time and space were incomparably chaotic, Ryuga could vaguely feel that there seemed to be a faintly discernible winding path that led to a certain place in the depths.
That should be the path leading to the core of the Great Holy Grail.
"Get the hell out of here!"
"This is not a place you should come to!"
"The Great Holy Grail is mine!"
"Get the hell out …"
On the path leading to the interior of the Great Holy Grail.
Ravings and roars like these unceasingly entered Ryuga's ears.
There was not the slightest bit of rationality in those voices. There was only a sense of madness as if they had lost everything, as well as rejection and anger towards all outsiders.
So far, with this Great Holy Grail as the core, this world had already gone through four Great Holy Grail Wars. And after the deaths of those defeated, their resentment and anger were absorbed by the Great Holy Grail, turning into a large amount of remnant thoughts.
Although the roars sounded very horrifying, those were in fact only paper tigers. They did not have the slightest bit of power to interfere with outsiders.
Ryuga still ignored them, and continued to walk towards the depths of the Great Holy Grail.
The deeper she went, the thinner the concept of time and space became.
In the end, all the concept of time and space completely disappeared without a trace. Everything here was poles apart from the outside world. It was as if she was in the middle of the universe. Everything, including time and space, had lost all meaning in here.
Not only that, but the temperature in Ryuga's body had also fallen below the lowest limit. So much so that the winding path that she could barely feel before had already disappeared from all her senses.
At this point, apart from relying on her stubbornness and mechanically moving forward, there was no other way to move forward.
If it was a normal person, they might not even be able to maintain their consciousness at this moment. They might even forget their own meaning and existence, falling into a state of "disappearance of meaning".
"Uncomfortable, really not used to this."
However, Ryuga only silently expressed her feelings in her heart, and just like that, as if there was no one around, she continued to move forward.
The chaotic concept of time and space and the loss of temperature did not seem to affect her in the slightest.
Under normal circumstances, even a Great Magician with an extremely strong will wouldn't be able to last more than a few seconds in this place.
However, thinking about it from another perspective.
Could it be that when Shiro Amakusa entered the interior of the Great Holy Grail, he had passed through such terrifying obstacles and entered the core of the Great Holy Grail?
That guy actually had such a level of willpower?
What was supporting him to move forward? Was it the so-called obsession to save all of humanity?
"Pop —"
Like a fish emerging from the water surface.
At a certain moment, after passing through a thin film, Ryuga suddenly felt relaxed.
Time, space, temperature … All of the concepts returned to his senses.
Looking around, he had already left the incomparably chaotic environment from before, and entered a beautiful world like a sea of flowers.
In front of him was a continuous mountain range with no end in sight, and below his feet was an endless lush grassland. Whether it was in front of his eyes or below his feet, at this moment, it was surrounded by a large number of flower petals, making this space incomparably beautiful and intoxicating.
And not far away, there was an altar flickering with brilliant light. That was the core of the Great Holy Grail, and also where the magic base of the Great Holy Grail was located.
However —
"Have you come, Black Saber?"
In front of the altar, a figure was standing there, blocking Ryuga's path.
He silently turned around, revealing a seemingly young but mature face. Waving the priest robe on his body, he looked at Ryuga with a calm but stern gaze.
"You came faster than I thought."
