Bab 49: Returning Back
Don't get to excited, I am opening my vault to release couple chapters, that just to make people notice about a Plagiarizer GilgameshBabylon who wants to make money from my fics. You can find him on WN, while we bombed his fics the damage has been done.

Ren looked at the pitch-black crystal attached to a golden chain.
The black crystal was so dark it looked like it could consume the light itself, it even felt sticky to the touch. Not that regular humans could touch it as they would be cursed forever and die in just a few moments.
It was much easier for Ren who just used his Magics to be able to touch it.
"So that's it? It feels like Noble Phantasm…" Morgan inspected it with her eyes. She was standing behind her husband while using his shoulder to put her chin on it.
It is quite amusing for the Sorcerer how she is finding new ways to cuddle with him.
"Because it is. It's not difficult to attach some Zoroastrianism roots to this as it already is Angra Mainyu, to begin with.
Though it wouldn't surpass Rank B on the grand scale of things. Not enough substance." He said that while starting to spin the chain around his fingers before he activated his gate and casually threw it into his vault.
"Well, at least you have a new toy to play with. Add some nice ornaments to it and you will have a 'nice gift' to give to a 'nice' person." The pale blond witch said with a knowing smile on her lips. There was a glint of sadistic glee in her eyes.
"Indeed, you know it, darling."
As he said that he tapped the ground and the stone flooring started to shake.
"Hmm? What now?" Illya said from the back as she noticed the shake. Emiya started to look around, followed by Saber.
Only Saber Alter didn't bother, she already knew that the Greater Grail has no juice left inside to summon anything. This means it was her Master doing it.
A few moments later a white object started to rise from the ground; it was in the shape of an oddball.
"So this is what the Greater Grail looks like," Ereshkigal said with a curious and slightly impressed tone. To her understanding, this system was created with the help of two True Magics. Something only possible in modern times. Though as a Pseudo Servant with a soul of a Goddess, her pride tells her that she could potentially create something equivalent to this.
A Goddess is still a Goddess. Though she has no idea where to start this in the first place…
"Indeed. The hiding of this thing is not bad. Though if a rogue Magus stumbled upon this he could take it with enough effort."
Ren said that as he remembered the alternative timeline to the Fuyuki Grail wars. The one in Romania to be exact.
"Hmm… I could do it on my own." Morgan casually said it as she has few ideas on how she could carry this thing.
"I have no doubts you can do it." He said while turning around and pulling her into a proper one-hand hug. That moment ocean blue ripples appeared underneath the Greater Grail and golden blue chains rushed out and coiled around the Grail system and started to pull it into this vault.
"However, we are discussing the regular folk."
The Fairy Queen simply hummed this point, she had no 'strength' to say that they are weak and so on. She prefers this cuddle.
*Sigh*
"Only a Sorcerer can call magus families with long heritages 'regular folk'. Anyway… Since you took the Greater Grail my life has pretty much no purpose." Illya said nonchalantly about her situation. She had a single purpose, which is a super major failure on her part, and huge oversight by her family. Why did they never consider an eccentric Sorcerer with Fairy Queen for a wife taking interest in the Grail War!?
"Just stick with your brother, think of it as divorce you leaving your mother's house for your father's," Ren said with a casual tone of his own.
"That's a great idea!" Shirou Emiya quickly agreed to that. He always wanted a sibling! Especially a younger sister.
At that moment Ren looked at the future and simply smirked with amusement. Now, THAT situation will play out for the Hero wannabe is amusing to watch for the Sorcerer.
Instead of answering Illya just hugged him.
"You are the best little brother ever!"
Ereshkigal and Saber looked at this with some amusement, there is that certain misconception between these siblings. Will they ever fix it?
Though Shirou didn't say anything to Illya he just sweat-dropped and decided not to comment that he was older looking.
As this was happening the Greater Grail ended up inside Ren's vault. By this point, he did almost everything he wanted to do. It was nearly time for him to leave and get back home.
At that moment a rainbow portal opened not far from Ren's location and an old man in a suit walked out of it.
'Right on the queue.'
First, one to react to this was Ereshkigal.
"Kaleidoscope!"
"Yes, well. Should I can you Rin or…Ereshrin? Well, anyway, you have caused quite a stir. I send you on a vacation but you caused a civil war." The old man said with a sigh as he looked at Ren who was just looking at him.
"Did I? Unlike you, I can only see one line, you can see all of them." The younger Sorcerer simply shrugged at him while saying that.
"That may be, but this line derailed so much that it became a branch on its own."
Ren that moment nodded to himself, so he did that much? Well, whatever.
"I suppose it was a good enough vacation. Are you here to pick us up?" He asked the older Sorcerer who just sighed in annoyance. Is this how it feels like being annoyed? Is he getting back at it?
"You can see the future, you should know already."
"Yes, well, another True Magic user can mess with that perception of what is future and not."
"I wouldn't dare. You have no idea how Gaia and Alaya are acting all suspiciously around me when I send you to this timeline. I don't know what you did to them but they all want you back."
Morgan's reaction to this was the funniest one, she went all jealousy overdrive. She was feeling like her annoying mother started to show interest in her Son-in-law that was just brutally annoying to her.
Even if she knows that both of those are emotionless beings who only care about the planet's and humanity's survival it doesn't matter to her. She is an unreasonable Fae and that's it!
Ren felt his wife's chaotic aura, so he stroked her back for a bit. Internally he was amused, though he did make sure she felt his attention was on her.
This did help as she calmed down for a bit.
Her reaction made the Kaleidoscope slightly uneasy, he never imagined that Ren would reign in such a Dark Witch, but he did see her world after finding out about the fourth war's results. He was quite uneasy allowing such an anti-human being to walk around through the streets. Thankfully it all turned out well.
"I see… Well, the world's system just loves me. Just keep it at that." Ren commented on that before turning around and looking at the group he decided to finish this and deal with a few remaining unfinished businesses.
At that moment another Ren appeared next to Illya and handed over a grail to her.
"Here take this. It's an empty grail, it needs quite a bit of prana to be charged to be useful. You can give this to your family members in Germany to get them off your back."
"O-Oh okay…" The albino girl was slightly shocked to see this but she swiftly adjusted.
Ren's copy nodded at her before ceasing to exist.
Then another one appeared in front of Shirou Emiya.
"Well, I will teach you the best and most important things over these few days. Just continue practising what I taught you and you will succeed in what you wish to achieve with your life." As Ren said that he handed over an item that made the teen confused.
"Is this…"
"A special Rubik's cube. Think of it as a grindstone to sharpen your swords."
The Sword-wielding teen slowly nodded. He still didn't grasp what his sensei said but he accepted it nonetheless.
"Good, we will meet again."
After saying that this copy ceased to exist. Then the original Ren looked at his two new Servants.
"Alright ladies, we are leaving."
Both Ereshkigal and Saber nodded slightly. This was quite sudden but then again they started to get used to the randomness of this sorcerer's actions.
"What about the things I left in Emiya-kun's residence?" The blonde Lancer asked him.
"Already collected it a few hours ago."
"...Master…you used time travel?" Saber asked him, though she was resigned, how he is abusing the powers he is wielding.
"Indeed, I can't just leave my darling wife hanging." He said that with an obvious tone. Ren was almost offended that she even asked him. Not that he could get angry with his Knight.
Though his words made the Fairy Queen snuggle into him more.
"...I see…"
Ren just nodded before looking at the two remaining people as his Servants walked over to his side.
"You two take care."
Seeing that it was his cue, the Second True Magic user pulled out his Gem sword and did a casual swing opening a portal large enough for the group to pass through.
~~~~~~Back at Ren's Home~~~~~~
"I am wondering what has spooked that old man so much that he arrived to pick up so quickly," Morgan asked her husband as they ended up sitting on their favourite couch.
The Fairy Queen was already cuddling with him once again. They finished settling in their new Servants and finally can fully relax in a familiar environment.
"He sends us to that timeline to give more breathing space for this timeline. And he was quite right to do so since I have slightly changed my mind.
However, in the end, he took out a small fire so that he could allow an even bigger fire to burn everything. Unlike fifth magic which I have. I can see the past and future. My Clairvoyance is far better than his. The one he developed allows him to gaze at alternative timelines for reference. Making it not 100% one."
Morgan slowly nodded. She continued to listen to his explanation.
"This means that it's not perfect and his gaze is quite limited. Simply put his gaze is wide, while mine is singular but it has depth. Truthfully I prefer this way as it doesn't drive you as mad as the one which he has."
"I see… though you didn't say what you did in the end."
"I left a gift for him."
"Which is?"
"A timeline, which keeps him entertained, and keeps him on his toes all the time."
"Oh?"
"Yes, I left him unhinged Emiya Shirou, the Future King of Caped Heroes."
"Fufufu…I see… Pity we can't watch him squirm."
Ren simply smiled at her as he recalled what he saw in that timeline.
~~~~~~???~~~~~~
"Emiya Shirou, surrender! You have brought the wrath of the entire Clock Tower! Do you think you can escape?" One of the Magus said with a furious tone.
They all are hunting down the criminal who is showing magecraft to the wider population! That is a death sentence from the Clock Tower!
"Hmm, this is good. You all are in one place, I needed this to be perfect, and this moment is just that!"
"!?"
Everyone was confused! What is this man even talking about!?
At that moment the space starter to ripple as prana in the form of lightning was cracking all over the white-haired man.
"I am just a sword and nothing more…
I have crafted over ten thousand blades,
Wielding them for the sake of Saving the World!
As I was taught by a Sorcerer and blessed by an Ancestor
Their fury is on those who cannot be saved!
And so, I unleash them on the wicked!
World Saving Blade Works!!!"
The very world at that moment was overwritten by another one. A world where no amount of Magecraft can save these Maguses.
