Begin the Holy Grail War with the Sombra Legion

When Matou Zouken woke up again, the place he was in was no longer Matou's house, but a purple-black sky filled with a world filled with bleak and pitch-black colors.

There is obviously no fulcrum under his feet, but his body is floating in the air inconceivably, as if he has lost gravity. This feeling of being pulled away by some invisible force at any time is also very novel to Matou Zouken.

But Matou Zouken felt very uncomfortable, as if he was buried naked in the winter snow, the silent coldness penetrated into the bone marrow little by little, and the flame of life gradually dimmed, leaving only the emptiness of death Filled into blood vessels.

Just like what I said before, Matou Zouken knew that he was already insane before. He became more and more sluggish, aimless, and lived in a daze. In addition to his obsession, he was really like a slug because of his habit of not being able to see the light. The same, hiding in dark places, absorbing the life of others, and using the pain of torture as the food for living.

The only thing that can only gain pleasure from malice is that Matou Zouken is becoming more and more void, he begins to lose his essence as a human, and gradually lives as a bug. If it continues for five hundred years, he may be the last magician The identity will also disappear, leaving only the instinct to use the occult until it causes a commotion, and then it will be subdued as a monster.

This is a predictable ending, that's why Matou Zouken became anxious recently, and took the initiative to ask the Tōsaka family for Sakura with excellent qualifications, intending to cultivate a powerful card for the next Holy Grail War.

But now, in this dark world, there is some kind of deeper malice eroding him.

This malice is far superior to his own despicable personality, and, like the air, it is everywhere. As long as he stays there, Matou Zouken feels crazy, and his evil thoughts are constantly growing.

The executioner who sticks to justice will turn into a madman who takes pleasure in killing if he stays here for a few minutes, and the saint who advocates justice will become a tyrant who stands alone for a while. This world has such a magical power.

But now, Matou Zouken's bad personality and the sense of emptiness born of the passage of time were easily broken.

Matou Zouken, who was supposed to be looking at flowers through a layer of fog like ordinary people, clearly felt his complete obsession itself for the first time, and the emptiness he had lost for five hundred years was here Self-blame, remorse, pain, unwillingness, turbulent enough to suffocate, clear enough to be stabbed in front of the emotion, there is no point of resistance at all.

It is also malicious, and what was born of Matou Zouken's personality is not worth mentioning at all.

As if the negative was right, Matou Zouken's personality was reborn after being killed by this world.

——What killed him was the darkness deep in his heart.

That, the man named Maqili Zorgen, held the darkness.

Matou Zouken's eyes gradually calmed down, filled with darkness, he recalled his life.

Born in a famous magic family, with excellent qualifications and a complete inheritance, he inherited the family's magic at a young age. In time, he will definitely become an important figure in the magic world, and even fulfill the long-cherished wish of the family and reach the root of the magician. It's Marchi Zorgen.

But unfortunately, this man who is a magician is an idealist in character.

Like Emiya Kiritsugu, Maqili also wanted to be a partner of justice, but unlike Emiya Kiritsugu whose knowledge of the road was only half-baked, his excellent qualifications and good inheritance made him realize the essence of this problem.

Therefore, his ideal also appeared - to eradicate all evil and human viciousness in this world from the world.

What a great and sad idea, but idealists are such stubborn beings that even if you throw them out of their ideal heaven, they will create an ideal hell.

Maqili began to continue research based on this purpose,

And decided to dedicate his life. When researching the plants and curses of the Clock Tower, Matou Zouken found the most suitable goal for this ideal and published the results.

'Research on the Realm Recording Tape. '

Realm recording tape, this is the official official name, and later, in the common address of magicians, he is called Heroic Spirit.

But Matou Zouyan encountered a problem. His direction was indeed good, but he was too advanced. The summoning of heroic spirits is a magic that cannot be realized, or in other words, it is a magic that cannot be realized by a magician.

After all, heroic spirits have transcended the realm of magic in essence, and are guardians created by the restraining force on the inner side of the world. This chasm-like gap can never be bridged by Maqili Zorgen as a magician.

He began to embark on a bitter journey to find hope, and he became close friends with the alchemist—Von Hohenheim Paracelsus, the great magician who invented the Philosopher's Stone, but his friends also believed in his ideals. There is no way.

He began to visit one family after another, looking for hope. In the process, his magic level became higher and higher, and his strength became stronger and stronger. The name of Kiev's insect resounded throughout the world. Where, even a powerful villain would voluntarily leave, unwilling to confront him.

Finally, just when his hope was about to be shattered, he went to the Einzbern family, which is also famous for alchemy and is also related to magicians. There, he met the Holy Maiden of Winter, who once mastered The third magic, artificial human with materialized soul.

As an existence who also has the ideal of saving the world, Matou Zouken has sad and complicated emotions towards her, but as an excellent magician, he also quickly realized that the third magic possessed by the Holy Maiden of Winter It may take a long time to save a person, and it is not practical. After all, this is an accidental miracle, but she is still magic.

Magic is something that neither modern technology nor magic can do.

Using it as a system, downgrading the summoning technique of the heroic spirit might be successful. At that time, the thing that was summoned was the side and clone of the heroic spirit. Maqili named him the follower.

After understanding Maqili's ideas, the two sides quickly reached a cooperation, using Maqili's technology to make the third magic that would dissipate with the death of the Winter Maiden into a fixed and long-lasting system.

Among them, the Tohsaka family, who were still country bumpkins at the time, also participated, and took advantage of the local snakes to provide spiritual veins as a condition for cover. cooperation.

They stared at the legendary vortex that can achieve everything.

Use the Holy Maiden of Winter as the furnace core, create a system, become the Great Holy Grail, use the spiritual veins to provide magic power, and use Maqili's technology to summon servants through the Great Holy Grail.

Through the battle of the seven masters, let the servants die and store them in the small holy grail. When the war is over and they return to the outside of the world, use the magic power accumulated by the big holy grail to fix the hole where the heroic spirit returns.

At that time, the hole leading to the root will be opened, the Great Holy Grail will have almost infinite magical power, Einzbern can complete the third magic, Maqili can realize the wish, and the most simple Tohsaka family can grow old. Honestly go to the root.

The three reached an agreement, and used this as a bait to trick the magician into participating in the battle. The name of this ceremony is the Holy Grail War.

At that time, Maqili Zorgen also abandoned his hometown without hesitation, and came to this country with the risk of engraved decline, bloodline degeneration, and foundation consolidation, and changed his name naturally, integrating into the country. in.

With his own name, Maqili as his surname, and his surname, Zorgen as his first name.

From that day on, Maqili Zorgen disappeared, leaving only Matou Zouken.
