Chapter 76: Rokuhara Ren VS Lancelot Part 1
In the Type-Moon universe, there are many artifacts that claim to be the true Holy Grail, with at least 726 of them having been investigated by the Holy Church. Throughout history, numerous conflicts over these artifacts have occurred worldwide. However, the Holy Grail contested in the Holy Grail War is an artifact said to be capable of granting any wish to the one who wins it. The Holy Grail is essentially a mass of pure magical energy, having absorbed magical energy from ley lines over 60 years.
Meanwhile, the Holy Grail in the Campione world is an extraordinary vessel used to store magical energy. To empower it, it must be fed the essence of other Heretic Gods, particularly the Earth Mother Goddess. Simply put, it steals the life force of the Earth Mother Goddess and stores it as magical energy, with the total magical energy equivalent to several dozen Campiones.
Although there are some differences between the Holy Grail of the Campione world and the Type-Moon universe, their fundamental nature remains the same—they are vessels that contain vast amounts of magical energy.
As a Reincarnator, Ren had a crazy idea pop into his head.
Since the Holy Grail of the Type-Moon universe can summon Heroic Spirits in the form of Servants from the Throne of Heroes, why couldn't the Holy Grail of the Campione world summon incarnations of Gods and Goddesses from the Domain of Immortality in the form of Heretic God incarnations after applying the Fuyuki City Holy Grail War ritual formula to it?
If this plan succeeded, Ren wouldn't need to frantically search for Heretic Gods to gain more Divine Authorities. To achieve this, he needed two things: the ritual formula and the Holy Grail. The ritual formula was Alice's task to create, while the Holy Grail would be obtained from Guinevere.

Back to the present.
A tense silence filled the air between them.
Still in Lancelot's embrace, Guinevere struggled to hide the anxiety creeping into her chest. However, Ren's sharp eyes could see the faint blush on her pale face and the subtle tremors in her petite body.
After a moment of trying to steady her breathing, Guinevere finally spoke in a voice she forced to sound calm, "So... is King Ren's goal to kill me? Are you worried I'll interfere with your ritual to seize Divine Authority after you defeat a Heretic God?"
