Chapter 1651.1: Return
The moon hung high in the sky above the almost completely destroyed church in the center of Fuyuki.
This church belonged to the Kotomine family.
Beside the charred bench, Su Xiao held a white flower in his hand.
— Father, I killed your only son, but unfortunately I couldn't bring him to your grave, " Su Xiao muttered and casually put down the white flower.
When he first came to this world, this old man helped him. Out of the many derivative worlds he had traversed, this holy father was one of the few characters with whom he was able to form a good relationship. In all other cases, it was either a mutually beneficial cooperation or part of a plan.
Unfortunately, he died at the hands of his offspring.
Su Xiao decided to come here at this moment because he couldn't find any traces of Sakura. By actively searching, he was able to understand that not only the Mage Association was involved, but also contractors, which made it even more difficult to find Sakura and her Servant.
Although he was stronger than all these people, he wasn't omniscient and omnipotent.
The expected reunion of the biological sisters obviously did not happen. What Su Xiao didn't expect was that Gilgamesh was actually killed by the lone survivors.
However, only two people, two out of twenty, came out of that battle alive.
The removal of Gilgamesh made Iliyaswil's position even more fragile. Although Gilgamesh was not a Servant in this Holy Grail war, he still possessed the nature of a Heroic Soul, which is why his death contributed to the formation of the Holy Grail.
The so-called Holy Grail did not really exist, or rather, its nature had changed dramatically since the third Holy Grail War. The person most familiar with the Holy Grail, Emiya Kiritsugu, once realized that it was no longer an all-powerful wish-granting machine, so he decided to destroy it.
*Boom-boom...*
After a couple of explosions, someone roared.
Su Xiao stood up and looked towards the eastern part of Fuyuki City.
In that direction, a dark moon appeared in the sky, the edges of which were wrapped in a green halo.
— Someone decided to steal someone's loot?
Although Su Xiao couldn't find Sakura, he wasn't too disappointed because he came to this world for the sake of eliminating the Blood Gate, and everything else was just a nice accompanying reward. The fact that he couldn't find Sakura was a very reasonable outcome, after all, he had spent a lot of time dealing with the Blood Gate.
But even so, he was able to collect 51.4% of the World's Source. Compared to the previous playthrough, he hadn't collected much of the World Source, but he definitely hadn't collected much either.
— Since they've come this far with this Holy Grail, I don't think Rin will really think that his summoning will destroy this city.
— Woof, "Bubtney barked as he sat next to Su Xiao, wanting to say," But didn't you tell her that earlier?»
— Did I say that? Su Xiao asked and looked at Bubtney.
He shook his head in response.
For the sake of saving his pocket money, he answered him in the negative, although because of this, his conscience began to ache.
Su Xiao didn't try to get close to the Holy Grail because it was pointless. The reason why Sakura never showed up is not because she was timid, but because someone in the leadership of the Mage Association told her what the Holy Grail really was.
Due to Stan's death, the contract he had signed with the association's top management was terminated, and since then, the Holy Grail War had turned from a duty to a background event for Sakura.
The Holy Grail war with Su Xiao's presence was obviously incredibly dangerous, so the old mage, who was obsessed with protecting his students, would never let Sakura come out before the right time.
He decided to take part in this war only because his family was in decline, he was not interested in the Holy Grail itself at all. He urgently needed to obtain an awe-inspiring victory or proof of strength so that he could stabilize his family's position and status.
