No longer paying attention to Shikanoko, Kisaragi Rin picked up the last Dragon Ball from the ground.
[You have collected all seven Dragon Balls]
[You have completed the quest - Dragon Ball War]
[You can charge the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron for a wish within this world]
[Note: This Shenron has limited power and no self-awareness in the Type-Moon World view]
"Charge?"
It's true that Dragon Balls need to be charged in their original world, but how can they be charged in this Fate World?
Kisaragi Rin looked at the Dragon Balls and decided to have Medea come over to see what was going on.
Eventually, Medea picked out one of them.
She said, "Aside from this one, the other Dragon Balls all seem to have no energy."
And that one was obtained from Bond.
"The difference between that dog and the others is that its Heroic Spirit, Scáthach, killed Hassan of the Hundred Faces."
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly said.
As soon as she spoke, the air suddenly fell silent.
Because everyone understood what the charging condition for these Dragon Balls was.
That is, the death of a Heroic Spirit.
If it were the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail that grants wishes would require the remnant souls of Heroic Spirits to be shaped.
And in this Dragon Ball War, the Dragon Balls that grant wishes also require the death of Heroic Spirits to be charged.
However, this was only to be expected.
After all, the one who set the rules never expected a Kisaragi Rin and Medea to appear in this Dragon Ball War.
When victory was already decided, the only Heroic Spirits who died were Steve Rogers and Hassan of the Hundred Faces.
Scáthach was kicked out, and all the other Heroic Spirits joined Kisaragi Rin's faction.
"Kisaragi-san, I…"
"No need for your sacrifice."
Just as Saber was about to speak, Kisaragi Rin interrupted her, waving his hand to indicate that he already had a solution.
If he remembered correctly, each individual of Hydra Captain was a separate entity.
…
Before long, the five Hydra Captains in the Workshop were unpetrified by Medusa and turned into five fresh corpses, plus Yuusuke's three dismembered bodies, finally completing the charging of the Dragon Balls.
"So the evil god's name was Tail-Devourer."
Kisaragi Rin now held a batch of ability seeds.
Medea picked up the Holy Grail, which had been purified by Shikanoko, opened the Demonic Hell Sanctuary, and took out the Heroic Spirit souls from the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Archer.
Gilgamesh.
Lancelot.
Kiritsugu Emiya.
Iskandar.
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.
Gilles de Rais.
When the souls of the seven Heroic Spirits fell into the Holy Grail, the final ritual was completed.
The task "Mystery of This World" stated in its description that the mystery in the Holy Grail needed to be poured out, meaning this Holy Grail was needed to complete the wish-granting step.
"I should leave."
Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, signaling Medea to come over and transfer Gilgamesh away.
The order in which players exit this game would definitely affect their scores. Yukinoshita Yukino was Kisaragi Rin's initial teammate, and Shinomiya Kaguya didn't want to be reminded, so she proactively suggested leaving first.
"Goodbye."
Medea politely bid farewell, and Shinomiya Kaguya silently replied in her heart, "Let's not meet again. You Heroic Spirits had better stay in this world."
Humming a tune, Medea took out [Rule Breaker] and transferred the allegiance of Saber and Gilgamesh to her Master.
"Goodbye, Kisaragi Rin."
Shinomiya Kaguya opened her paradise bracelet, slowly taking one last look at Kisaragi Rin before settling the game.
Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya leave, Yukinoshita Yukino also casually said, "See you later."
They had only been in the Fate World for three days; it probably wasn't even dark yet in the Main World outside.
"Bye, Gecko Man."
Although she said that, Shikanoko didn't ask Kisaragi for the R'lyeh Text to go home. She merely pulled off a single antler and swiped forward, and a curved passage overflowing with stardust appeared before her.
Seeing this operation, Kisaragi Rin truly couldn't resist his urge to complain.
"What level of player are you, anyway?!"
Shikanoko had one foot already stepped out, then she turned her head back and reminded, "Remember to contact Tiger Cub when you get back; she seems to be looking for you."
"…I know."
Kisaragi Rin still remembered that Tiger Cub's sister hadn't come to take away that pure white bowl yet.
Coming back to his senses, only Kisaragi Rin and the Heroic Spirits remained in this world.
And he still had many troubles.
"How dare you insult this King so!"
A cold, arrogant voice sounded behind Kisaragi Rin.
It was Gilgamesh, who had returned to her normal state from her child form because Shinomiya Kaguya had left.
Gilgamesh was her, and of course, she had all the memories of what happened during that time.
However, when she returned to her Gilgamesh state, those experiences were simply unacceptable to her personality!
"It's fine, I'll be leaving soon."
Kisaragi Rin said casually, he was truly not interested in Gilgamesh in this form.
Her figure wasn't as good as Esdeath or Medusa, and her personality wasn't as cute as Lily or Medea.
It was better to just ignore her.
"You fellow."
Gilgamesh wanted to get angry, but then she recalled Kisaragi Rin's strength through that memory.
Her chest heaved violently for a while, but Gilgamesh still chose a direction and set off on her own path.
The remaining Heroic Spirits were Medea, Esdeath, Medusa, Lily, and Saber.
And now…
What needed to be done was to take them away!
The method Kisaragi Rin and Medea planned was to utilize the wish-granting mechanisms of the Holy Grail and the Dragon Balls.
Whether it was the Holy Grail or the Dragon Balls, their wish-granting abilities had considerable flaws.
The mechanism of the Holy Grail's wish-granting was designed from the beginning to allow Caster to enter the [Root] of the Fate World.
In the Fate World, the Root is everything; theoretically, through the Root, one can control this world.
Therefore, it gained the ability to grant wishes.
So, this Holy Grail, which contained the Mystery of This World, could only grant wishes related to the Fate World.
More importantly, the Root of the Fate World is so crucial that it naturally wouldn't allow anyone to enter and exit freely.
As long as one enters the Root, there's a high probability of being assimilated into a part of it.
As for Dragon Ball wishes, they were much simpler.
There were no inexplicable traps; it simply didn't have that much power.
Kisaragi Rin couldn't recognize what was going on with these seven crimson Dragon Balls anyway; wishing for invincible power was impossible from the start.
After all, if the Dragon Balls were that useful, every player would probably be fighting tooth and nail just to get a wish like "from now on, my own aptitude is no longer limited," and they wouldn't have been casually thrown on the ground by red suit.
"I'll leave it to you, Medea."
Kisaragi Rin said softly, then kissed Medea on the forehead.
"Master, I want one too."
The now-adult Lily also leaned in and received a kiss on the cheek from Kisaragi Rin.
"Master." Medusa removed her blindfold, allowing Kisaragi Rin to kiss her eyes.
Esdeath didn't speak, and Kisaragi Rin held her in his arms and kissed her lips.
"Should I come too?"
Saber thought strangely, then she moved closer to Kisaragi Rin.
But Kisaragi Rin didn't continue to the next one.
Because it was time to grant the wish!
