Generally speaking, a wish consists of two parts, "the thing you want" and "the price you pay".
In most cases, only when the two are equivalent can the wish be realized.
And in the cases where wishes come true at almost no cost, nine out of ten times it is deliberately distorted by "it", and the wish-maker will pay a higher price afterwards.
The Holy Grail War is a wish-making ceremony created by magicians based on the principle of "equivalent exchange" - at the cost of the souls of six servants and the magic power accumulated for sixty years, the two wishes of the winner and his heroic spirit are realized.
"It" has no interest in this rigorous wish-making ceremony that has no tricks and no loopholes. In most cases, those small wishes cannot consume all the magic power, so there is no room for distortion.
However, Emiya Kiritsugu's wish is "world peace". To realize it, the price prepared for the Holy Grail War is completely insufficient. Even if he paid the extra price of "bearing all the evil in the world", the two sides are still far from equal.
Under normal circumstances, this "world peace" will be achieved in a narrowed time or scope, but in "it's" view, it is actually very simple to achieve.
If Emiya Kiritsugu kills all humans, there will naturally be no more fighting and bloodshed among humans. At the same time, he will bear all the evil in the world by destroying humans, which is very consistent with the principle of equivalent exchange.
As for the other wish-maker, "it" didn't know what to do for the moment.
"Evil" will inevitably lead to pain and misfortune, and when suffering pain and misfortune, the cause will be judged as "evil".
"Carrying all the pain and misfortune in the world, no matter past, present, or future." It seems very similar to Emiya Kiritsugu's "carrying all the evil in the world", but it is completely opposite, because it is not a "price", but a "wishes"
.
And compared to [all the evil in the world "at this time"] that can be exploited, the deliberately added qualifier cannot be deliberately distorted and understood.
Perhaps Lin Hao thought that she would die after realizing this wish, so she didn't care how much she carried. However, "it" knew very well that there were many ways for people to endure pain without dying at all, and these methods would definitely change over time.
With the realization of this wish appearing in her.
Although it is an "it" that is prepared to maliciously fulfill all wishes in this Holy Grail War, it is a good thing that someone can only wish for.
However, what is the price? If we are to comply with the principle of equivalent exchange and suffer this level of pain and misfortune, what kind of benefits should we get? Is it necessary to hand over the priesthood of "It" in charge of "the evil in this world"?
It seems that it is not impossible. When ordinary humans rashly accept the priesthood, their spirit will only be assimilated, even if it is a priesthood that is far inferior to the incarnation of the original body. At that time, "it" can easily take back the priesthood.
But before that, I still look for opportunities to coax her into accepting certain "prices" and give up other benefits to give it a try.

Within the inherent barrier of [King's Army], the battle between Saber·A1ter and Rider has lasted for nearly half an hour. The rolling yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, and countless deep ravines were cut into the originally flat desert.
It is not a timid battle in which one restrains one's own strength so as not to cause damage to the surrounding ordinary people's residences, but a showdown between large armies.
The Macedonian soldiers, relying on their ability to be resurrected numerous times within the barrier, charged forward one after another towards the surrounded black-armored sabers - and then were blown away again by the black whirlwind.
The majestic EX-level anti-army Noble Phantasm is actually ineffective against Saber·A1ter alone. This can only mean——
"She alone is an army..." Weber stood on the driver's seat of Shenwei Wheels and looked at the battlefield with an unwilling expression.
He has used all the tactics he could think of, and Rider personally participated in two of the battles. Now as the magic power of the heroic spirits on both sides continues to be consumed, the rebirth time of the soldiers is getting longer and longer, and the frequency of Saber activating Black Wind has also begun to decrease.
.
After she successfully prevented Saber from launching a round table discussion, she no longer had any intention of using the Noble Phantasm. She relied solely on her high martial arts skills to deal with the attacks of the King's army, and the level of magic power consumption was almost the same as Rider's.
Ordinary enemies can be crushed with the Divine Wheel, and powerful or numerous enemies can be dealt with with the King's Force. Weber, who had always planned this, discovered that the two Noble Phantasms of Iskandar conflict with each other - if the King's Force is used to siege the number
If there are few enemies, the Divine Wheel will be blocked by soldiers.
If Saber·A1ter cannot use the Noble Phantasm combo with the white one, the best strategy at this time would be to leave her in the present world and pursue her with the Kamui Wheel and conduct a sneak attack with the soldiers with the power of the king.
"Prepare to use the Kamui Wheel again, Rider." Weber counted the frequency of Saber's attacks: "With three more swords, she will use the Black Wind——"
Crack, click, click - Saber A1ter swung his sword to repel the three nearest soldiers, then turned around and raised his blood-patterned black sword towards the dense group of soldiers, and a black light suddenly appeared on the sword.
In a protracted battle, it is very important to maintain the frequency and rhythm of attacks. Fighting randomly will only consume your physical strength quickly. According to previous observations, Saber should take the opportunity to knock away nearby soldiers and rest for a few seconds. This also means
At that time, she will be in a state of being unable to move or dodge.
【Remote domination by rubbing!】
Rider, who already understood Weber's plan, drove the ox cart over without hesitation.
However, Saber did not blow out the black wind. She raised her sword and turned half a circle. The target of the sword was exactly at the wheel of Shenwei that was speeding towards with blue and purple lightning. And the black light that appeared was not the hammer of the humble king.
, but a sign of her liberation of the Noble Phantasm.
Round table review is not a necessary condition for using a Noble Phantasm. Weber is also very aware of this, but he is confused by Saber·A1ter's fighting style. He thinks that she intends to fight Rider who has opened a unique barrier and therefore consumes more than her.
Compete for endurance.
If she wields this Noble Phantasm attack, there is no doubt that she will not be able to continue to fight against the king's army, so she only needs to avoid this time... Before Weber opened his mouth, he saw the look on Iskandar's face.
rivalry and eager to conquer.
"Charge over before she uses her Noble Phantasm!" Weber finally said. Since the opponent is not a strong enemy that can be defeated with strategy, it is not impossible to use the methods commonly used by the Conqueror King.
"Hahaha! No problem!" Iskandar raised the dagger in his hand and drove the bullock cart towards the black light rising into the sky with rolling thunder.
【Sword of Oath and Victory!】
"Choke!" Saber·A1ter's Noble Phantasm attack shot high into the sky.
Although her sword was faster, Rider's target was not her in the first place. The Kamui wheel passed by Saber in a dangerous manner, brushing against the torrent that had not yet spread. Rider's dagger swung smoothly hit the broken steel.
The sword's hilt successfully changed its trajectory.
"Oops..." Webb looked back and glanced at the direction where the Sword of Oath and Victory flew out, without even the intention of urging Rider to take the opportunity to attack Saber.
At that location, there is a huge ship made entirely of gems moored. It is the ship that was captured from Tokiomi Tohsaka. Although it does not have a cab, it is still a magic creation as a whole, so it can be controlled to a certain extent.
It was previously parked in the air to prevent it from being affected by the battle, but now it seems...
Boom! The jet-black torrent hit the gemstone ship head-on, but it seemed to have no change except that its surface began to turn red.
"Get out of here immediately!" Weber's expression changed drastically, and he immediately grabbed Iskandar's cloak and shouted: "It's best to include the soldiers!"
"Well, what happened?" Rider asked casually, while waving his hand to make the Macedonian soldiers turn into spirits and disappear.
"What did you say when I checked it after you snatched it?" Webber watched in horror as the spacecraft became increasingly red.
"'It was transformed into a nuclear bomb'? But you didn't explain what a nuclear bomb is." As the last soldier in the field of vision transformed into a spirit, Rider also began to break away from its inherent barrier.
"That's it -" The gemstone spacecraft suddenly turned white after turning bright red. Then an orange mushroom cloud appeared in the sky, and a large amount of wind pressure and white light swept over the previous positions of Rider and Weber in the next second.

After saber·1i1y lured Luna to the beach, she finally regained some of her disadvantage.
Even if this mercury girl can change into the appearance of others to increase her combat effectiveness, she can never imitate her own unique skills and characteristics.
Artoria, who has the blessing of the Lake Fairy, can freely walk on the water as if on flat ground. Even if Luna imitates it, she has also fused with the heroic spirit to become a pseudo-server. Her body is also mercury, a heavy metal, and she is standing at this time.
Perform a mercury bullet throwing attack on Saber·1i1y parked on the water at the bottom of the sea.
"1i1y is so smart, so Luna, who can't swim, can't use her strange martial arts." Irisviel, who was watching the battle on a cliff in the distance, praised her with a proud tone.
It is indeed a strange martial art. Emiya Kiritsugu has done some research on the "Kung Fu" of country C. Although some magician families will use it as a training course for their descendants. Some boxing techniques or techniques are quite powerful, but for those who are good at using them,
Guns and Kiritsugu, who possesses [Inherent Temporal Control] and can completely defeat them, are just irrelevant information.
However, the "martial arts" used by Luna are more like some kind of special magic that combines martial arts. Many actions that are simply impossible with ordinary martial arts can also appear naturally, such as -
Luna in the distance once again stepped on the water and soared into the air, performed several strange maneuvers in the air, and finally fought with Saber·1i1y on the water for several moves before sinking back to the bottom of the sea like a weight.
"Let 1i1y come back, a1ter has been hit hard, we need to retreat temporarily."
Kiritsugu lit a cigarette and said to Irisviel after watching Luna fall straight into the deep hole dug before.
