Vali and Pendragon siblings left once we got back to Golden Dawn. They looked tired and shocked.
Vali is no doubt going to start training harder since she is aware she can't fight moon Gatling gun.
"Flowery bastard! I declare you as my temporary rival! At least until I find my real rival!" And that happened.
At least Vali promised she's going to keep my power level to herself, not that it matters.
The Pendragon siblings looked like they can't wait to report to their father which is fine, they would rather keep it a secret as well.
After all, I might just teach that spell to Le Fay...
To be honest the only reason I could cast such a miracle is that Archmage accepts Faith as a viable energy source and produces it.
Valerie who doesn't know power levels and Angelica who is used to my bullshit was okay though.
Once we got back to my workshop I finally introduced myself to the kidnapped princess.
"Well, I never got to introduce myself. My name is Merlin Ambrosius the mage of flowers himself and this lovely lady is my maid Angelica."
"Valerie Tepes but I guess you already know, thanks for saving me but why?" She asks.
"I wanted to reenact Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail." I answer seriously.
"Right, what's the real reason?"
"I wanted to look at the Grail, of course, saving a pretty flower on the side is just a bonus." There's no need to lie to her.
I mean Sephiroth Graal is connected to principles of life also the concept of death. The user is forcefully told about the secrets of life and the creation of souls.
Unfortunately, the users can't handle all the information due to not being Gods, their heart and soul breaks under the overload. In the end, they start to talk to the dead and stuff like that.
Those mean nothing to me, I have infinite storage for my memory I can just shove everything in my skull as I did with the library.
"You want me to use the grail?" Valerie asks with a scared expression.
"Nope! I just need you to live here and look pretty. This will be more dangerous to me than to you actually."
"Really?" Since I am being honest with my intentions she's more trusting.
"I swear I will not harm you intentionally." I offer my hand.
"Okay." She takes it.
Also, it's not like she has anywhere else to go...
"Well, go on you must be tired. Angelica takes her to her room please." Nodding Angelica takes Valerie to the room I already prepared for her.
This workshop is going to be crammed soon enough I should move to somewhere else...
...
Once Valerie slept(after a drugged glass of milk) I washed her with my soul power and looked through her soul.
Since I am amateur at this I needed to have her unconscious but once I have the information about souls from the grail I can hijack SGs like nobody's business.
The three golden cups slowly revolving around her bright soul, almost latching to it like leeches.
Considering that they hurt her as she uses them it is a fitting term. I push a bit of my soul into the cups and enter it.
As I said to Valerie this will be more dangerous for me than her. She's basically just a conduit between me and the Sephiroth Graal and she's safe because I am taking the strain for her.
As my spirit entered the grail I was blasted with unintelligible fast-paced whispers. In return, I pushed my mental spell into overdrive just enough that the whispers became understandable.
I was honestly expecting to get blacked out and wake up with all this knowledge in my head but nope.
I need to stay here and listen to the voice recording of God as he lectures how life and souls are created.
Well, at least it is interesting.
...
"Good morning." Valerie gets out of her room, she's still wearing her PJs.
"Morning..." I greet her with a tired wave.
I didn't get to sleep last night due to what I did, Valerie has three cups with each holding a different lecture and I barely finished the first cup.
It was about creating souls which was fun but useless to me at the moment.
I wanted to learn about Life and Death so I can move on with my plan to solve my lack of battle experience.
"You look like you didn't sleep for days..."
"I had something to do last night and couldn't sleep. It is mental tiredness more than physical. So what would you have for breakfast orange juice, tea, or virgin blood?"
"Can you supply the last one?" Valerie asks.
"There's a church with pretty nuns nearby."
"Just no, I'll take orange juice." Valerie chuckles and reaches for the juice.
"Master, Serafall Leviathan sent a letter asking if you're available for a chat?" So they heard about my stunt...
"Fine tell her I'll be available after checking up on my farm." Let's see who will Heaven send for the Grail.
...
I was wearing my farming gear humming a nice tune and was going to Heaven to take care of my farms when it happened.
I felt like I am being surrounded by space itself, opening an eye I noticed the purple mist coming towards me.
Coming towards me but failing to take me away like its user was trying.
Sighing I allowed myself to be pulled. I am honestly surprised that Hero Faction took this long to 'invite me'.
Once I was in the other dimension I looked over the selection of 'heroes'. Cao Cao, thankfully male standing in the middle with a confidant smile.
Next to him stands Georg who's wiping his face with a handkerchief. I guess I tired him with my resistance already. Jeanne is there so are Heracles and Siegfried.
I am looking for a specific person ah! There he is, little Leonardo.
Ignoring Cao Cao's speech about mass genocide of supernaturals I employ my new knowledge on souls to hijack Annihilation Maker and 'download' its functions.
This Sacred Gear can make monsters which can help out with my lack of battle experience but I was always a firm believer of go big or go home.
Which does explain why I became a neet in my first life.
Anyway learning how to make soulless monsters is going to help me with my plan.
"Hey! Are you listening!?" Hearing Cao Cao's yell I turn to him.
"Nope! Well, sorry to keep you guys waiting I was just looking into something." I say with a grin.
I hijacked Dimension Lost as well, SGs are like information banks, I can achieve it on my own but they help out.
"Well, I honestly didn't listen, not one bit so I don't know who you guys are but I have a farm to take care of so I'll be going." Waving my hand I break the dimension and leave.
Georg can stabilize it back before someone dies.
Ahh, I love my Protagonist luck where everything I need falls into my hands.
