"Hey, hey, hey, did I hear you right? You want to monopolize the Holy Grail?!"

As Amakusa Shirou delivered his eloquent and impressive speech, apart from Roy, who had already known Amakusa's true intentions, surprise, confusion, doubt, and speculation surged in the minds of everyone present. Even Kayneth, who had seen his share of major events, frowned, clearly astonished by Amakusa Shirou's mad plan.

His wish was to bring salvation to all of humanity...

The so-called salvation through peace... was he trying to create a world completely free of human conflict?

This idea might seem beautiful, but Kayneth, who was also proficient in thaumaturgy, understood better than anyone the madness and absurdity behind such a plan.

Conflict and contradiction are inherent to humanity. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and this is a fundamental law that cannot be erased.

Moreover, a wish of this magnitude was impossible to achieve with normal magecraft or even the Holy Grail's so-called wish-granting power... it had already touched the realm of true magic.

He had initially come to participate in this rural magical ritual just to add another achievement to his career, and perhaps to teach that annoying brat Waver a lesson.

But now, something far more serious had arisen. The turning point that the Old Man of the Jewels had predicted... his own death, might indeed happen during this countryside ritual. He needed to reassess the situation carefully. If something major occurred, he would have to contact the Mage's Association directly...

Ancient heroes aside, now someone was talking about saving all of humanity. What on earth were they trying to do?

Tokiomi Tohsaka's face was equally dark as he looked in displeasure at the young saint who wanted to save all of humanity. While he didn't understand much about this so-called salvation, he did know that his old friend Kirei Kotomine had betrayed him.

The advantage of the Church's support they had previously agreed upon had disappeared the moment Amakusa Shirou took over as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War.

This silent betrayal deeply angered Tokiomi, who had always prided himself on his elegance as a magus.

"A plan to save all of humanity?"

Artoria's ahoge twitched.

Roy, meanwhile, coordinated his expression to show the same level of shock as Waver.

Fionn's face remained calm, his thumb already in his mouth, as if he had known everything all along.

Iskandar, however, did not attempt to hide his exaggerated expression. His eyes bulged as he looked at Amakusa, as if seeing some sort of monster.

In the spacious church, as everyone sank into contemplation, Iskandar was the first to break the silence. "Boy, I have a question for you."

"Please, go ahead. I'll try to answer it as best I can."

"Do you really understand what this so-called salvation of all humanity truly represents?"

"Of course." Amakusa Shirou smiled gently at him. "It is precisely for this that I was born, and it is for this that I live."

"My wish, without a doubt, is to bring salvation to all of humanity. I believe that, as Servants, you all can understand this, right? After all, we were summoned by the Holy Grail because we had regrets."

Amakusa's tone was sincere, without any trace of deceit.

"Alright, boy, even if we assume that your wish to save all of humanity comes from a genuine place, what does that have to do with me?" Iskandar's voice grew more direct. "Why should I hand over the Holy Grail to you for your wish? You're not the only one with a wish. Every Servant and Master here has their own desires, and that's why we've gathered here across time and space for this Holy Grail War. None of us have the obligation to sacrifice our own wishes for yours! No matter how grand or unbelievable your wish might be!"
