Thank you for the invitation. In heaven, people have become gods.

In the Matou family, a short old man was leading a cute-looking loli walking in the dark passage.

Loli followed the old man and asked him in a timid tone.

Tohsaka Sakura, maybe it’s time to call her Matou Sakura now.

She is the second daughter of the Tosaka family, a magician family in Fuyuki City. She has a doting sister, a gentle and virtuous mother, and has a relatively happy life so far.

However, all this was interrupted because of a decision made by his father.

ps: The author originally wanted to write a Holy Grail War. The characters of the original four battles will basically remain unchanged, but a few more characters will be added (adding group friends through new tasks)...but there are too many characters to grasp, and it is too difficult to follow the plot purely. It feels boring... What do you think would be better?

Chapter 167: The light that tears through the darkness

For magicians, the saddest thing is the end of the inheritance.

At this point, the magician named Tokiomi Tohsaka is undoubtedly lucky.

Because his daughter is a real genius.

It's enough to pass on the Tosaka family's gem magic and even take it to a higher level.

And in a sense, he was unfortunate.

Because both of his daughters have talents that are so outstanding that they are rarely seen in the world.

However, only one of the two of them can inherit the Tosaka family's magic seal, and the other can only waste his talent and become mediocre.

As a standard magician and a father who loves his two daughters equally, Tohsaka Tokiomi naturally doesn't want to let such a thing happen.

However, no matter how reluctant he is, he will still have to make a choice.

In the end, Tokiomi Tosaka chose Rin Tosaka, whose magic attributes are the five elements.

As for Sakura, who has the attribute of imaginary numbers, although she is unwilling to do so, she can only reluctantly "give it up".

However, it seems that God is taking care of the Tohsaka family.

Just when he made this decision, the Matou family came to ask for the adoption of Sakura, and promised to cultivate Sakura as his successor.

For Tosaka Tokiomi, this was undoubtedly a piece of cake in the sky, and he could not refuse this temptation at all.

If she can inherit the magic seal of the Matou family, Sakura will not have to be mediocre, and she will definitely be able to become as good a magician as her sister in the future.

"You are no longer a child of the Tosaka family. Go ahead, Matou Sakura."

Tokiomi Tosaka said something absolutely cruel as a father to his children.

Faced with his daughter's sadness and reluctance, Tokiomi Tosaka naturally felt unbearable.

However, such emotions were soon replaced by firmer determination.

Compared to the future as a magician...

The moment of separation and sadness is worth it.

Compared with the magic seal that gathers all the wisdom of a magic family, the price Sakura paid can be said to be nothing.

He believes that in the future, Sakura will understand him!

Then, Tohsaka Sakura disappeared, and only Matou Sakura existed.

His own little bungalow, the doll on his bed, his sister who loves him, his gentle mother...

everything……

Everything is gone.

Along the big closed iron gate.

Say goodbye to that warm world.

The gloomy Matou mansion made Sakura tremble subconsciously and feel scared inside.

As she walked with Matou Zangyan in the dark passage, the further she moved forward, the more uneasy she felt.

In the end, she couldn't help but ask this strange grandfather her questions.

"Hehehe...a good place for Sakura to transform and adapt to the Matou family's magic."

Matou Zangyan's voice was as weird as a crawling insect, coupled with the sinister laughter...

Not only did Sakura not feel any relief after receiving the reply, but her uneasiness became even more intense.

She looked at the dark passage in front of her, feeling as if the entrance to hell was behind it.

What happened next made Sakura understand that her feelings were not wrong.

"grandfather!"

At the end of the passage is a damp cellar.

Before Sakura could react to the pain of her fall, she was surrounded by a dense sea of ​​insects.

It was a black, squirming thing.

Together they formed an ocean, rushing toward her.

Such a scene will probably leave a lifelong psychological shadow on even a mature adult.

Not to mention, a little girl less than six years old.

She cried towards the old man who was nominally her grandfather, hoping that this was just a horrible nightmare.

However, the old man's cold eyes mixed with excitement brought her back to the cold reality.

The swarm of insects around her was still spreading, and she could only retreat to avoid it, but she leaned against the corner.

"do not come……"

Being abandoned by her biological parents is already a very tragic thing for a girl less than six years old.

After that, what she faced was not words of comfort, but an insect's nest that seemed to come from hell.

She cried and shed tears, but the "grandpa" above showed no mercy.

I wanted to call out "Mom and Dad", then I remembered -

"You are no longer a child of the Tohsaka family."

——I have been abandoned.

Everything she once had has nothing to do with her!

Realizing this, the girl couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

No one will come to save her, and no one will care about her.

Looking at the marking bugs rushing toward her, the girl imagined that a hero would descend from the sky and save her from this hell.

However, the world is real, and all hopes and expectations are pinned on illusory fantasies, and the final result is just to be betrayed by one's own fantasies.

All those who do not pay attention to reality will eventually be defeated by reality.

The ocean formed by the engraved insects surged towards her, trying to engulf her completely.

The shadow it formed blocked the last ray of sunlight in the basement, seeming to foreshadow the girl's dark future with no end in sight.

If nothing unexpected happens, this prediction will become a reality.

Well, if nothing else happens...

It was a ray of light, a ray of light that tore through the darkness and brought hope.

The blue spiritual beam easily turned the insect swarm into ashes, lighting up this indescribable pitch-black abyss.

"It's really a thousand shots..."

"...But, let's not say it's too late, right?"

The spirit beam roughly punched a large hole from the outside of the Matou residence leading to the basement.

And looking at the gentle young man wearing glasses and the brown girl beside him walking into the basement along the hole, Sakura suddenly realized...

It turns out that heroes... really exist!

"Who are you?"

The sudden appearance of Yawei and Zabizi obviously made Matou Zangyan extremely vigilant.

"Why attack the old mansion?"

However, neither Yahweh nor Zabizi wanted to pay attention to him.

The two of them ducked and appeared in front of Sakura.

"Little guy, don't be afraid, it's okay!"

Looking at the little girl with tears on her face, huddled in the corner and shivering, Yahweh bent down, stretched out his hand to caress her little head, and soothed her emotions in a gentle voice.

"…………"

Feeling Yawei's movements, the suppressed sadness and fear in Sakura's heart suddenly burst out, and she threw herself directly into Yawei's arms and started crying loudly.

Seeing this, Zabizi, who was next to Sanwu, couldn't help but show an expression of pity on his face.

In the process of coming, she had learned about this girl’s experience from Yahweh.

"Is the target of the two of you... turned out to be the old man's granddaughter?"

Looking at the movements of Yawei and Zabizi, Matou Zangyan also guessed the purpose of these two uninvited guests.

Chapter 168: You can’t get in, no matter how hard you try, you can’t get in, right?

"This child's talent is indeed quite rare..."

Matou Zouken supported his body with a wooden crutch and seemed to have regained his composure, with a unique sinister smile on his face.

"Whether it is a mother's body for nurturing offspring or a material for magic, it is quite outstanding..."

"But she is already an old granddaughter."

"You two...presumably don't want to be enemies with Matou in Dongmu, right?"

Matou Zouken did not take action, but wanted to use words to persuade Yawei and Zabizi to give up Sakura.

After all, the spirit beam just now made him extremely afraid.

If there can be no fighting...

Then nature is the best!

After listening to Matou Zangyan's words, Sakura's body in Yawei's arms trembled slightly, as if she was afraid that Yawei would listen to Matou Zangyan's flowers and abandon her.

Finally, the little guy calmed down after being soothed by Yahweh's movements.

"Matō Zoukstone..."

Only then did Yahweh really turn his attention to this old bug.

Wearing a cyan and gray kimono, he is a bald, stooped short man with limbs as skinny as a mummy. His sunken eye sockets reveal a slender body, and his whole body exudes an unpleasant odor - this is emanating from the depths of his soul. The rotten smell came out.

From the perspective of Yahweh, Matou Zangyan's former soul should have been quite dazzling.

Maybe not as good as the saints of the church, but far from what ordinary people can compare with.

It's a pity that obsession and the erosion of time have distorted his soul, and now...

All that was left was a mass of putrid filth.

"...What a pity..."

"Zabiko-chan, deal with this guy!"

Matou Zouken, or rather his original name should be "Maqiri Zolgen".

He is the founder of the Matou family who, together with the Saint of Winter and Nagato Tohsaka, built the "Celestial Cup" system more than two hundred years ago.

He once held the lofty ideal of "Abolition of all evil" - the destruction of the "karma" cherished by mankind.

However, no matter what kind of existence he was in the past, Matou Zouken is just a rotten insect now.

Yahweh had no intention of communicating with him, and directly asked Zabizi to deal with this annoying guy.

"Haha, it seems that I have been underestimated..."
