Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 508 The Twisted Matou Family
boom!
boom!
Explosions continued to rang out. Medusa sat beside the purple-haired girl, shielding her beneath her. The violent tremors and falling sand above them reminded them that the Matou family mansion was likely undergoing some kind of devastating attack.

The "young master" who they deliberately left above has probably turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

Medusa only hoped that those people would leave after seeing the flesh and blood.

The woman sitting deeper underground knew very well that the reincarnators could clearly see who they had killed from the panel.

One Shinji Matou is simply not enough to satisfy that beast.

Based on the information brought back by Rider Medusa and the message sent back by Chizha before the final battle, there is no doubt that Tao Pai Pai has entered this world and has most likely become the Assassin, a class that should have been the most harmless but is now extremely dangerous.

Within the various classes, Assassins offer very little advantage in class-specific combat, so in most cases, Servants of this class find it difficult to directly confront other classes.

They can only hide themselves by using their ability to conceal their presence, and are only good for activities such as intelligence gathering or assassinating their Masters. If they encounter a powerful Servant head-on, they are easily killed.

But things get quite tricky when someone like Tao Pai Pai becomes an Assassin.

The woman codenamed "Man-Eating Flower" knew the strength of Chizha and Huanlong. This duo, working together, possessed strength close to that of the upper class below the "Fierce" rank, and could even save the lives of ordinary Servants in this world.

But when faced with Tao Pai Pai, they both died, and even Medusa, who rushed away, couldn't come to their rescue in time.

Moreover, according to Medusa, Tao Pai Pai is extremely fast, comparable to her after obtaining the Rider class boost.

A top-tier martial artist whose speed is comparable to Rider's...

The thought of such an enemy caused a sharp pain in her brow. As a spellcaster, she hated speed-type reincarnators the most.

The carnivorous plant's gaze shifted to Matou Sakura, hesitating whether to risk trying to find the insect that Matou Zouken was hiding on Sakura's heart.

The carnivorous plant team had entered this world before, and this time they chose to join Matou's camp because, among the various paths of the Fifth Holy Grail War, she believed that only the Heaven's Feel route (Sakura route) was closest to unlocking the Root.

Therefore, after joining the Matou family, he quickly used his abilities and the advantage of being a reincarnator with foresight to have Genryu and Chizha launch a surprise attack, directly killing Matou Zouken's physical body.

But whether it's the spatial panel or their understanding of the plot, they all know very well that Zouken Matou did not die, and most likely he has transformed into an insect and is hiding somewhere in the mansion.

After Chizha and Huanlong died, she made a decisive move and immediately led Medusa, Matou Sakura, and the remaining members [North of Mohe] to hide underground and set up a barrier.

If Tao Pai Pai is to be used to destroy Matou Zouken's other trump cards and methods, then if Matou Zouken is still alive, then he is most likely hiding in Matou Sakura's heart.

Whether she kills him or lets Tao Pai Pai kill him, it's an acceptable ending.

"At a time like this, you still think about killing me?"

A sound suddenly rang out, and a large number of insects crawled out from the bottom of the cave. [North of Mohe] immediately stood up, stretched out his right palm, revealing a hollow hole in the palm, from which flames ignited.

He is a reincarnated mechanical engineer, and he is quite compatible with Zouken Matou, who plays with insects and uses engraving magic.

The insects seemed to pause for a moment, until the man-eating flower reached out to stop the area north of Mohe. Only then did Zouken Matou slowly transform back into human form after a large number of insects had gathered together.

They only had the shape of humans, without any skin. The constantly wriggling marking insects made the man-eating flower feel a deep-seated disgust.

She disliked this worm whose mind had long been twisted by age; the idealist who wanted to destroy all evil in the world, the radiant [Machiri Zorgen], had completely perished with the passage of time.

What remains is a disgusting insect that has put the cart before the horse and will stop at nothing to survive.

In her opinion, this kind of guy was even more disgusting than Danzo Shimura from the Naruto world, who was all talk and no action.

Her disgust was undisguised, and Zouken Matou could sense it, but he didn't care. Right now, this group of people had controlled Sakura, killed his unworthy grandson Shinji, and even destroyed his own body.

According to his informants, the Tohsaka family and Kiritsugu Emiya's adopted son have both successfully summoned Servants, putting him at a significant disadvantage in this Holy Grail War.

The only way to turn the tide is to cooperate with this group. "Even if you kill me, with your abilities, you still can't win."

"Heh, although I don't know where you found out about the tricks I played on Sakura, even with the fragments of the Greater Grail, Sakura's potential as the Lesser Grail might not be enough to surpass that Einzbern girl..."

"Your plan to kill that girl has failed, hasn't it..."

Although the man-eating flower despises Zouken Matou, she admits that what he said is indeed true, especially after Huanlong and Chizha died together. She is a spellcaster, and the people north of Mohe are cyborgs, making it difficult to carry out assassination missions.

Especially knowing that Tao Pai Pai was with Illya.

If Illya were in good condition, given her knowledge, it's uncertain whether she could make Sakura the Lesser Grail, thus steer the story towards the Heaven's Feel.

This old bug, while his combat strength may be uncertain, is a magician who has lived for over two hundred years. His understanding of the Holy Grail War is unmatched by us reincarnators.

Furthermore, as one of the founders of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, Zouken Matou is able to use the Greater Grail to perform some "backdoor" operations.

For example... summoning additional Heroic Spirits to bolster one's own fighting strength.

Zouken Matou, in the form of a swarm of insects, twisted and approached the group, already reaching the light below the barrier. Medusa stood in front of Sakura, sensing that these insects harbored a certain greed for their Master.

At this moment, Matou Sakura slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still filled with confusion.

The man-eating flower frowned, reached out and swept its hand across Matou Sakura's eyes, and Matou Sakura fell into a deep sleep once again.

She returned to her familiar school and saw the boy jump over the bar again and again. His vitality and energy filled her with envy.

She was like a flower in a dark swamp, wanting to peek out and linger in the sunlight.

But the next moment, a girl in red with black pigtails appeared in front of the boy, and the two chatted happily and acted intimately.

Sakura Matou's dream world has once again turned into darkness.

She didn't understand why the world always had to take everything away from her, even her sister, who enjoyed everything the Tohsaka family had, had to have this last glimmer of light taken away.

A dark aura emanated from Matou Sakura.

This action caught the attention of Zouken Matou, whose voice carried a sense of relief.

"This is too early. If we let Sakura fall into darkness now..."

He had already made his point. The man-eating flower thought for a moment, then reached out and wiped Matou Sakura's forehead again, and Matou Sakura's expression gradually relaxed.

Medusa watched this scene and moved the hand that was holding her Master.

Even while protecting this poor girl, this group of people didn't forget to squeeze every last drop of value out of her.

It really is... disgusting.

The pale-faced woman tilted her head, listening to some news, then smiled. She looked at the ancient scroll in her hand, then stood up and said to Gilgamesh...

"We need to go rescue our dear ally... We can't let that beast destroy everything before the plan even begins..."

Gilgamesh increasingly sensed that Kirei Kotomine seemed to have changed today, as if she suddenly had some kind of pursuit.

He scrutinized the other person with indifferent eyes. Bai Mian also noticed "Golden Flash's" keenness. She pinched the bridge of her nose. This kind of plot character with divinity was indeed difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the final ending, she should have used that prop on Golden Flash.

She resumed her indifferent expression, walked out of the church, and prepared to rescue the group and, incidentally, bury the foundation of the Human Instrumentality Project into the ley lines of Fuyuki City.
