"In short, I reject your proposal."
Mizoguchi has her own considerations. Since they are surrounded by divinity, including Tamamonomae who is also a servant with high divinity, they will only be at a disadvantage when facing the Archer Gilgamesh, the divine killer. Even if they cannot confront him, they must have a counterweight.
She placed her hopes on the weak body of Sakura Matou. As long as the latter served as a medium to connect to the Holy Grail and allow the Servant of the Heroic Spirit to appear in the world, Yuzhongjin would immediately cut off the supply of magic power and continue it to herself.
Sakura Matou couldn't withstand the terrifying amount of magic power consumed by Berserker. Even though she was gifted, she was still too young to do it. Magic power was not spiritual power. Even if there were multiple magic circuits, they had to be forged before they could be used.
"Declaration!"
Skipping the prelude, Miojin recited the spell on behalf of the unconscious Matou Sakura, but this time it was slightly different.
"…I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who commits all the evil deeds in the world! However, you should serve me with your eyes covered in chaos. You are the one imprisoned in the cage of madness, and I am the one who holds its chains—!"
By forcibly granting "Frenzy" to the Servant, allowing the Heroic Spirit who originally did not have the job of Berserker to appear in the world, Yuzhong Jin watched the magic circle flash with glory, and the next second, a large amount of thick black gas overflowed.
A gray chain filled with cold light suddenly stretched out, and then extended in all directions, forming a closed birdcage. The slender figure stood in the formation.
"that is?!"
Tamamonomae exclaimed.
Black clothes and black over-the-knee boots, the seductive atmosphere matches the perfect figure, as well as the cool temperament and the wantonness brought about by the frenzy.
She's totally a crazy beauty.
His eyes were covered by an eye patch with snake pupils, but he could still clearly sense everything around him.
Such characteristics and familiar aura made Yu Zhuanjin look solemn.
Medusa, the snake-haired monster in ancient Greek mythology, the youngest of the three Gorgon sisters!
What Yuzhongjin felt was the unique divinity of the other party...
"Why is there another Divine Servant?!"
Yuzhongjin held her head in her hands, and it seemed as if "Gunqing" sounded in her ears to express her feelings.
Fight? What kind of fight is that! Just go to bed, run as far as you can, there is no point in getting involved in this mess!

Volume 107 FZ/The World of Kara (Part 4): Chapter Chapter The Divine Principle [K]
……
"Lord Inari, look! The servant I summoned this time also has divinity!"
Tamamonomae suddenly jumped up on the spot.
Divinity, what does it mean?
That is a special ability that only the heirs of divine blood and beings who possess divine nature or divinity possess. In this world, gods are the highest level of mystery.
When a servant with divinity faces ordinary servants, it is like a wolf among a flock of sheep. This is an innate crushing of rank.
Simply put, Divine Servants are no longer the same as ordinary Servants.
Tamamonomae is the representative of divine servants, and A-level is almost the highest.
The divinity of Yuzhuanjin is just an embryo. When the level of the god is upgraded, the transformation into the god core will be completed. The god core is the most symbolic proof of the god's identity.
"Lord Inari, we now have three beings with divine powers. In my opinion, we will win this battle!"
Tamamonomae could even imagine the wonderful scene of holding the Holy Grail in her hands.
"Then go ahead and fight. I'm leaving first."
Miojin's soul has flown away to Takama-ga-hara.
She drew two divine servants in a row, which means there are three servants in total, including herself. How can she fight against Gilgamesh, who has the anti-god chain of heaven?
Instead of going there specifically to give away points, it would be safer to go to another city and wait for seven days for the Holy Grail to arbitrate and directly rule that they have forfeited.
Although he really wanted to do so, Yuzhongjin finally sat under the vermilion torii and chose another way.
Now that she has come to this world, Yuzhongjin should do something no matter what. If she lets it go, half of Fuyuki City will be burned to ashes by the black mud of the Holy Grail, causing countless casualties.
This was the original ending.
Now, she has both Berserker and Caster servants in her hands. If Yuzhongjin escapes, the result will probably be even worse.
The fall of more than half of Fuyuki City was only the result of Emiya Kiritsugu seizing the opportunity to win, especially since the other party "woke up" halfway through and did not make a wish to the Holy Grail.
However, if this chance of victory fell into the hands of Gilgamesh or other masters, even the original good wishes would be destroyed without leaving any residue.
Yu Zhuanjin couldn't turn a blind eye. If it was at the beginning, she might have chosen to escape, but now that she had benefited from the gods, if she still didn't do what a god should do...
Absolutely, Yunhe would advise him half to death.
At least Yuzhongjin would not do such a despicable thing as using his status as a god to oppress the shrine maiden and demand service, and then pretending to turn a blind eye to the suffering of humans.
Especially now, she is the only one who knows all this.
"Lord Inari-sama? Lord Inari-sama!"
Tamamonomae was making a lot of noise nearby.
Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin knocked on the other person's head with one hand, and then said: "Just say it if you have something to say."
"Do you really want me to fight the Holy Grail War for you?"
Tamamonomae is still thinking about this matter.
"…You wish."
Yu Zhuanjin would naturally not allow the other party to act as a fox concubine.
"Hmm~ You just said that."
Tamamonomae raised her head.
"We have to think of other ways. You are still too young to understand the dangers of the Holy Grail War, but soon you will understand the true meaning of my current emotion."
Yuzhongjin rubbed Tamamonomae's head to let her stay calm.
Tamamonomae had no choice but to wag her tail.
……
At the same time, at Toosaka's house.
Kotomine Kirei and Tōsaka Tokiomi met here and exchanged the information they had learned from each other, as well as their respective Servants.
"Master, there is news from the Holy Church that the last Servant has appeared, but there is still a pair of Master and Servant who have not yet arrived."
Kotomine Kirei said.
Under the witness of Kotomine Risei, the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei becomes Tōsaka Tokiomi's disciple and they become allies as master and apprentice.
"Is this the Master of the Einzbern family?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi was not surprised.
"Yes, but we cannot rule out other Masters. There are still several whose identities are unknown, and they have not registered with the Holy Church. Especially tonight, the Matou family appeared to have a suspected magic that caused a thunderstorm. I sent Assassin to investigate and learned that the Master who was originally the representative of the Matou family, Matou Kariya, was defeated by an unknown Master, and his Servant seemed to have left the stage."
Kotomine Kirei reported.
"Is there one missing before we even start?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi lowered his head in thought, but when he thought that the master who was leaving was just Matou Kariya, a descendant of the Matou family who was not worthy of being mentioned, it seemed that he could accept it.
"The other known Masters are Lord El-Melloi from the Clock Tower, Kayneth, and the magus assassin employed by the Einzbern family, Emiya Kiritsugu, but the latter remains to be seen."
Kotomine Kirei does not have absolute information to prove that Emiya Kiritsugu is the Master, he can only say that it is "suspected".
"You are right. This man was able to do this. He made us think he was the Master, but the Master was actually someone else. This is the so-called magician killer. He is an expert at using despicable means."
Toosaka Tokiomi took out a goblet from somewhere, poured himself a small glass of red wine, and continued, "He is a person who can assassinate with guns, poison with drugs, and even use missiles to blow down a plane just because there is a mission target inside. You have to pay more attention to him and don't fall into his trap."
"Yes, Master."
Kotomine Kirei nodded slightly, then slowly took his leave. As he was going downstairs, he noticed a little girl with twin ponytails walking down the corridor carrying a large box.
"..."
The girl stared at Kotomine Kirei without saying a word.
"cold."
Kotomine Kirei spoke first and asked, "Where are you going with all these things?"
...Tousaka Rin, the daughter of Tousaka Tokiomi and the biological sister of Matou Sakura.
"My father asked my mother and I to stay at my parents' home for a few days. We have to leave tomorrow morning to prevent us from getting involved in any Holy Grail War."
Although she didn't know what the Holy Grail War was exactly, Toosaka Rin still knew its dangers and continued, "Kirei, you are my father's disciple, so can I ask you for a favor?"
"what's up?"
Kotomine Kirei asked back.
"Can you please let Dad come back safely?"
Toosaka Rin said.
"I can't make any promises. This is an unusual ritual war. Even I can't guarantee that I will survive to the end..."
Kotomine Kirei said this very straightforwardly.
"As expected, you are still very annoying."
Toosaka Rin pouted and said.
"I'm sorry! My child has caused you trouble."
Just at this moment, a charming woman ran up and took Toosaka Rin away.
"...Mom, do we have to leave?" Toosaka Rin couldn't help but ask.
Toosaka Aoi, whose real name is Zenjo Aoi, is the mother of Toosaka Rin and the wife of Toosaka Tokiomi. She has long dark green hair and the virtuous temperament unique to Yamato Nadeshiko.
"You can't bother your dad here."
Toosaka Aoi takes away Toosaka Rin and the latter's luggage.
The Masters have not arrived yet and the Holy Grail War has not officially begun. Tonight should have been safe. Except for the abnormality of the Matou family, all the Masters are preparing.
Waiting for tomorrow's opening match.
……
"Kotomine Kirei is a first-class agent of the Holy Church. He has a dull personality and is not interested in anything. Some time ago, he became a disciple of Tohsaka Tokiomi of the Tohsaka family. As expected, they should be in the same camp."
In another corner of Fuyuki City, Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya arrived ahead of time and set up several hidden bases here while studying the intelligence of other Masters.
Let's skip over the Clock Tower Lord for now and Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze fell directly on the photo of Kotomine Kirei. From those lifeless eyes, he saw the same personality as his.
There are also threats.
That is the fear among the same kind.
"Besides that, there is one more thing. The Master who represented the Matou family in the war seems to have been defeated. The familiars I sent out did not find any Command Seals on him."
Hisau Maiya took out a few photos. Her control over magic power was actually very weak, and she could only command familiars with low intelligence. However, she used modern unique technology to carry monitors and other equipment directly on her familiars, so they could also play a good role.
"Defeated?"
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple no matter what.
"Not only that, there is another one..."
Hisau Maiya's tone suddenly stopped.
……
Fuyuki City, Tousaka family.
A dark shadow crouched stealthily beside the woods, staring at a dazzling gem on the stone pillar in the courtyard. That was his target.
The Tohsaka family, who are experts in gem magic, use gems as a medium to defend their positions. Within a hundred meters, there are countless magic arrangements, and ordinary magicians and their servants are not even qualified to get close.
However, the black shadow simply pressed his hand on the bone mask on his face, and then quickly took action, like a perfect ballet dancer and yoga master, moving between the gaps in these magic tricks.
