Haru was surprised. He'd intended this banquet to be a forum for the Servants to discuss their wishes, to determine who was most worthy of receiving the Grail. He'd asked them to state their desires for precisely that reason.
But it seemed the King of Conquerors was more interested in Haru's motivations for participating in the Holy Grail War. And the other Servants, intrigued by Rider's question, had followed suit.
Why would he, a being who'd ascended to Godhood, bother with such a trivial matter?
"The Third Magic will greatly aid me in my pursuit. Therefore, I seek the Root. That is my purpose in this war," Haru replied calmly. It wasn't a secret, so he saw no need to hide it.
"But aren't you omniscient?" Waver asked, his voice filled with confusion.
Thwack!
Rider flicked Waver on the forehead. "You idiot! Think! Have you never heard of the omnipotence paradox? True omniscience is impossible."
Waver clutched his head, his pride stinging more than the physical pain. To be lectured on knowledge—by a muscle-bound brute from antiquity... it was humiliating!
"Your pursuit? You've attained Godhood. What more could you possibly want? To become a new Counter Force? Or perhaps to reach the Root itself?" Gilgamesh asked, swirling the wine in her goblet, her legs crossed elegantly.
