Once inside the Greater Grail, Primis was greeted by nothing but infinite White space. Since he had expected this, he didn't become surprised and kept on walking towards the core part of the Grail.
After walking for some time, he stopped and raised his head. Others might not be able to see it, but he can easily saw a sphere floating above and was radiating weak energy. That energy was also hiding it from prying eyes.
GLOW!!
All of sudden, the sphere started to descend and stopped in front of Primis. Without waiting, Primis grabbed the sphere.
BURST!!!
Once he did so, the sphere exploded into countless lights.
Nevertheless, Primis ignored it and as his attention was on something else in its arms.
It was a pink, bipedal creature with mammalian features. It had a rounded, wide snout. It had short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail was long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur was so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope.
Looking at the creature sleeping in his arms, Primis realized who it was in a single glance. After all, it was the main reason, he came to this World.
'Primis: Mew.'
Yes, it was Mew.
Looking at its sleeping figure, Primis started to caress its head. As if sensing his touch, Mew moved its body and snuggle into a more comfortable position.
[That sphere before was something it created to protect and hide itself. As for the reason, it doesn't have any guard against you even while sleeping must be because of----]
'Primis: Celebi.'
[Um. When you made Celebi your pet, you get some of its aura on you. That aura was what Mew sensed unconsciously and thought that you are not a threat.]
Nodding his head, Primis kept on patting its head.
'Primis: Do your thing, Twilight.'
[On it.]
A Light came out of Primis hand and covered the sleeping Mew. Since it didn't resist, and the contract was established without any problem. A collar appeared on its neck before it hid itself.
[DING!!!!]
[DING!!!!]
[DING!!!!]
[A new pet has been added under "Beast Companion".]
Sensing the connection between him and Mew, Primis confirmed that the contract was established and sent Mew into the "Pets" world.
'Primis: Celebi will take care of Mew.'
[It will really be happy seeing it. And.........You finally fulfil the promise you made to it.]
'Primis: Yeah.'
Saying this, Primis looked in front. Even though there was no one in sight, he could easily sense the presence.
Primis: It was you who was keeping Mew away from all the corruption, isn't it........................… Irisviel.
Once he said so, the space in front of him distorted and a woman with long silver hair and red eyes appeared. She looked like the adult form of Illya. Not that surprising since she was Illya's mother as well as the Lesser Grail of the previous War. Irisviel von Einzbern.
And just like the Illya he met outside before entering, Irisviel eyes were also blank and she was also wearing the Dress of Heaven.
Irisviel kept on looking at Primis and nodded her head as if answering him.
SHINE!!!
Then her body started shinning and she disappeared leaving a Golden Cup behind.
[Another Lesser Grail.]
Taking the new Lesser Grail in his hand, Primis kept on looking at it.
[Looks like before being possessed by Angra Mainyu in the previous War, she might have sensed Mew's presence. Hence, she used the last bit of her power to protect it from getting corrupted.]
'Primis: ...............…'
Primis remained silent took out the Illya's Lesser Grail. He then looked at both the Lesser Grails in his hands before opening his mouth.
Primis: Looks like I owe one to you Mother-Daughter.
???: Congratulations on winning the Holy Grail War. Please state your Wish.
A voice interrupted Primis thoughts as he looked at the side.
There he saw a doll-like face considered to be "too beautiful and too well-crafted", red irises likened to rubies, a "bell-like, beautiful voice", fair skin, and long white hair. She was also wearing the Dress of Heaven but compared to Illya and Irisviel, she had solemn and almost lifeless expression.
'Primis: Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern.'
[The Ancestor of the Einzbern family as well as.........…]
'Primis: One of the three creators of this Greater Grail.'
Justeaze: Please state your Wish.
She asked again.
Primis: Come here.
Instead of answering, Primis called her.
Justeaze: .........…
Without showing any change in expression, she walked up to Primis.
When she was in front of him, Primis passed both the Lesser Grails to her.
Primis: Hold them.
Justeaze took both the Lesser Grail in her hands as told and looked at Primis.
Primis: Sit down and don't move from the spot until I will say so.
Hearing this she tilted her head to the side in confusion but still did as order. Sitting on the ground, she still kept on looking at Primis as if waiting for his next order or waiting for him to state his wish.
Nevertheless, Primis didn't speak any of it.
Turning his back at her, he took out the two swords given to him by Ophis.
These swords were once used by the Twins. After Ophis killed the twins and took the swords, she returned the Swords to their real form.
The Massive Silver sword had turned into silver and blue double-edged one-hand longsword with a golden guard. And the jet-black sword had turned into one-handed longsword with the bevels colored red. It could be said to have demonic appearance on top of it due to the completely black color of the sword.
First, he looked the silver blue sword.
.
.
.
**Terminus Est**
Spirit: Est(slumber)
Attribute: Steel
.
.
.
Then he looked at the reddish-black sword.
.
.
.
** Vorpal Sword**
Spirit: Restia(slumber)
Attribute: Darkness
.
.
.
[So, what is the plan?]
'Primis: As you know since my skills are extreme powerful there is limit to how much I can learn to Master or Grandmaster Level. Because of it should be impossible for me to use different elements.'
[True. However, Incantation Symbols helped you in that aspect.]
'Primis: Yeah. They worked as the catalysts so that I can use different elements without being worried about the limit.'
[I agree.]
'Primis: Um. Now on to the main reason. Do you remember the ultimate move I used in the end against Scáthach?'
[You mean "Sword of Darkness: Abyssal Night".]
'Primis: Yes.'
[There is no way I can forget that. That time I finally realize why in "ReZero − Starting Life in Another World", you were so concentrated on the "Darkness, Incantation Symbol". Your main goal was to create that move.]
'Primis: Correct.'
[*sigh* I never thought will create such a devastating move in such short period of time. Not only that move overpowered Scáthach final attack, but it also destroyed the entire Land of Shadows.]
'Primis: Mn. Even I never expected it to be that strong.'
[Anyway, what does it have to do with this?]
'Primis: You see, "Sword of Darkness: Abyssal Night" is the fusion of "Elucidator" and "Darkness, Incantation Symbol". In other words, every time I want to use it, I must change my template to "The Black Swordsman".
[Well, that's tru----- Wait a minute, is that why?]
'Primis: Yes. I thought of a way to use it without changing my Template.'
[I see. So, you want to merge these Sword with your Incantation Symbol making them the Spirits of your Incantation Symbol.]
'Primis: Correct.'
[Impressive.]
SIU!!
SIU!!
Holy and Darkness Incantation Symbols came out of Primis body and started shinning radiantly.
Justeaze: ................
Even Justeaze who was sitting on the ground waiting for Primis order couldn't help but widened her eyes sensing the pureness and amount of magic in them.
[I understand that it will be easy for Restia to merge and become the Spirit of "Darkness, Incantation Symbol" since her attribute is also "Darkness". But what about Est. Her element is "Steel" instead of "Holy".]
'Primis: That's why I will change that attribute to "Holy".'
[Huh? But why? "Steel" is a very strong element. It has the capability of breaking through armors, shields, weapons, treasures, and artifacts.]
'Primis: True. Though it will be useless to her.'
[How so.]
'Primis: After my "Elucidator" ability "True Damage" reached the limit, it became passive. Hence, once I will make them the spirit of my Incantation Symbols, both Est and Restia will also gain that ability.'
[Alright, this makes sense. Since they will getting the "True Damage", the "Steel" attribute will really lose its use.]
Nodding his head, Primis willed both his Incantation Symbols. They both descended. "Darkness, Incantation Symbol" then merged with Restia or Vorpal Sword quite easily since their attribute was same. Well, maybe same but the Darkness in "Darkness, Incantation Symbol" was purer and more potent compared to Restia's.
As for the Est or Terminus Est, when "Holy, Incantation Symbol" merged with it, it started trembling for quite some time before calming.
SHINE!!!!!
SHINE!!!!!
Both swords started shinning brighter and brighter with time. One was releasing White light while other was releasing Black light.
'Primis: Now for the next thing.'
[Next thing?]
'Primis: Why you seem surprised? I come here to do many things.'
[Seriously.]
'Primis: Yes.'
[What is it?]
SIU!!
SIU!!
Sending both the swords into his "Baptism" world since it will take a lot of time. And by lot, he really means a lot. Like Millions of years. That's also why he told Ophis to cover the entire Greater Grail in time barrier.
Primis then started looking at this infinite White Space.
'Primis: It's time I take my "Perfect Hollowfication" awakening to new heights. To a new form. For that I will need your help...........................…Angra Mainyu.'
.

A Month went by.
Primis was currently sitting in a café and was looking outside at the people who were strolling through the streets.
He remained inside the Greater Grail for a month and just came out yesterday. In other words, he was in the Greater Grail for more than 43 billion years.
Ophis was sitting on his right while Beatrice was sitting on his left and drinking her tea. Yes, you heard it right. Instead of sitting on his lap, Beatrice was sitting at the side. The reason, you will know.
As for why they were sitting here, that's because they were waiting for someone. And that person just now entered.
RING!!!
Waiter: Welcome!!
The person nodded at the Waiter before making his way towards them. Once he arrived in front of them instead of sitting, he bowed towards Primis and Ophis.
???: It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty and Your Highness.
Then he turned to Beatrice also bowed at her. Even though he didn't know who she was, just by being with Primis was more than enough to demand respect.
Primis nodded and pointing toward the front.
Primis: Take the seat.
The person bowed again and took the seat.
The person was an old man wearing black clothes and white gloves. His red eyes were something which had seen the passage of time. He had seen rise and fall of cities, kingdoms and even civilization. Nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
Primis: I guess this our first meeting, isn't it? Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.
Yes. This old man was one of the founders of the Clock Tower and the Magician of the Second Magic. He held the title of Wizard Marshal in the Mage's Association. And the one who pushed Crimson Moon back. Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.
Zelretch: From the Counter Force, I already received the message that Your Majesty no longer have the memories of past. So, yes, this our first meeting.
Nodding his head, Primis continued.
Primis: It seems that Clocktower has been quite busy lately.
Zelretch: The end of two of the three main families led to a big commotion in the entire Mage Society.
Primis: That's why I could see many Mages roaming around even in the broad daylight.
Zelretch: Yes. They are looking for the cause that led to their downfall.
Primis: Hmm. What about Einzbern?
Zelretch: Jubstacheit von Einzbern has taken back the position of the head of the Family. However, since Einzbern also took a heavy blow in the War, their power has decreased a lot. For now, Einzbern has complete shut their doors and have no intention of making a contact with the outside world.
Primis: Is that so.
Zelretch: Not only that, but it also seems that few hours ago someone attacked the Einzbern castle located at the forest in the outskirts of Fuyuki City, destroying it completely.
Narrowing his eyes, Primis asked.
Primis: You mean the castle where Illya was living.
Zelretch: Yes.
TAP!!!
TAP!!!
TAP!!!
...
…
Primis started tapping his finger on the table before shaking his head.
Primis: I don't have time think about it for now.
'Primis: I am pressing for time, right now. My instincts are screaming to leave this World as soon as possible.'
Primis: Anyway, the reason I called you here because I want something from you.
Zelretch: What is it, Your Majesty? Just ask I will do my best to live up to your expectations.
Primis: I want you to join my Guild, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.
.
.
.
.
An hour later.
They were all standing outside of the café. Once they were done with their long talk, they decided to leave.
Primis: That's where we part for now, Zelretch.
Zelretch: Yes, Your Ma---- I mean, Guild Master. I will be waiting for your message.
Replied Zelretch with smile as he looked at the system prompt at the side. Though just like in case of Reinhard, currently, it was just showing black screen.
Then Zelretch turned and was about to leave when.........
???: Papa!!!
He heard a voice full of joy. Curious Zeltretch looked behind and saw a five-year-old little girl with long, lustrous violet hair was running towards them a beautiful smile on her face.
He couldn't help but widened his eyes at her.
Zelretch: Sakura Ma----
Primis: Rigla.
However, Primis interrupted him before he could continue. Then he crouched down as the girl jump directly into his arms. Looking at her, Primis showed a rare smile and got up. He then turned to Zelretch and spoke.
Primis: Meet my daughter, Sakura Rigla.
Next, he looked at Sakura and continued.
Primis: Sakura this grandpa is your father friend.
Sakura: Oh...
Nodding her head, Sakura looked at Zelretch and bowed her head.
Sakura: Please to meet to you, Grandpa. I am Sakura. Sakura Rigla.
Witnessing the innocent smile on her face, Zelretch smiled.
Zelretch: Mn. Nice to meet you too, Sakura. This grandpa name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. You can call me as Grandpa Zelretch.
Sakura: Ok, Grandpa Zelretch.
Smiling Zelretch turned his head to another woman who was approaching them. She was the one who was keeping Sakura company. Looking at her Zelretch bowed once again.
Zelretch: It's an honor to meet you, Witch of Dún Scáith.
Scáthach only nodded at Zelretch before walking over to Primis side.
Primis: Later then, Zelretch.
Then without waiting for Zelrecth response, Primis ripped open a space and entered that black hole with others. With that, Primis left the "Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel" world.
.
.
.
.
.
In the next instant, they all found themselves in a time tunnel. As Sakura was looking at colorful lights that were moving around, Primis sensed something, and his countenance changed.
'Primis: D*AMN.'
Without a moment to lose, Primis forcefully sent every one of them into his "Pets" world.
[Primis, what happened!!!]
Primis didn't bother replying. He could feel death coming for him. As a result, he chose a random coordinate and entered them.
The moment he did so, the entire Time tunnel collapsed. Before a terrifying pressure fell.
SHATTER!!!
???: Hmm......…So, he really was in this world. If I was an instant faster than I might have caught up to him. Oh well, it doesn't matter....................................... After all, I am enjoying this game of Hide and Seek. So, run and hide "The Black Swordsman". I will find you no matter where you go. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Only the laughing sound of 'that' being resounded as the time tunnel started to recover itself.
.
.
.
.
.
.
WHISTLE!!!!
Primis was currently falling from the sky. In front of his eyes was a beautiful blue sky but he was not in mood to enjoy it. He knew that he barely dodged the encountered with 'that' being.
'Primis: That was close call.'
[True. Can't believe he found you in a mere month.]
'Primis: Yeah.'
Even though Primis spent a lot of time in the Land of Shadows and the Greater Grail but according to the time of that world mere just a month had passed.
'Primis: To think he was able to pinpoint by location in the infinite numbers of Multiverses in that Megaverse.'
[Well, you can expect nothing less from a Level 9 Existence.]
'Primis: Um.'
THUCHH!!!
All of sudden, the entire world stopped. Though before he could do anything, the world started moving again.
[Why did the world stop just now?]
'Primis: Maybe the random co-ordinates take me to a world where the Will of the World hadn't made fake history of mine. Hence, it paused the world to create one.'
[It appears so. Give me moment, I will check what world is it.]
'Primis: Mn.'
Nodded Primis while still falling from the sky.
WHISTLE!!!!
While falling he turned around and saw many high-rise buildings.
'Primis: It's another modern world.'
Narrowing his eyes, he noticed something.
'Primis: No, its somewhat advanced in technology aspects.'
Then he looked down and saw that he was about to hit an old, abandoned house. How he knew it was an abandoned house? That's because the condition of house was not that good. There were many broken places all over the house but also the roof was also missing some of it.
And then he crashed on it.
BANG!!!
CRACK!!!
BOOM!!!
Because of the roof was also old, it broke and Primis fell inside.
BANG!!!
Though the thing he fell on was appeared to an advanced computer or something of this world.
SPARK!!
SPARK!!
Looking at the broken computer underneath him, which was emitting sparks, Primis thought.
'Primis: I think I now which world is this..................… Looks like I can get my crown sooner than expected.'
???: Who.........
He then heard a wary emotionless feminine voice and turned his head at that direction he saw someone.
There was a beautiful girl with light pink hair that ombres into hot pink and was tied into pigtails, she tied her hair using two tubes, and had a small red clip on the left side of her face. She had red eyes, she was about 166cm tall with small glossed lips. She looked very fragile, having a very slender figure and thin legs. She was wearing a red leotard with the middle mostly cut out, red-orange spoilers with flowers on the side and high red gloves.
'Primis: This means I am here for you..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................…. Inori Yuzuriha'
[Welcome to the world of "Guilty Crown".]
