Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"I've decided. I'll head back now. But may I ask you a question, Kirei?"

"It's okay. This might be the last time, and I can answer most of your questions."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Kirei, you're the supervisor, you should know about the other masters, right? I've followed the association's rules, so please tell me about this."

"That's troubling. I really want to tell you, but I don't know the details either. Including Lin Yanshiro, there are very few legitimate magicians this time. I only know of two masters. Including Lin Yanshiro, that makes three."

"You can tell from the order in which they're called out, right? They're supervisors, after all."

"The first one was a berserker. The second was a magician. After that, there wasn't much difference. The day before yesterday it was an archer, and then a few hours ago a swordsman was called out."

"Then I'll take my leave."

"So that means the Holy Grail War has officially begun, Rin. You can no longer enter this church until the Holy Grail War ends. If possible, then..."

"When someone loses their Servant and asks for protection, right? Other requests will result in a deduction of points."

"That's right. Although you're probably the winner, the church won't remain silent if there are any demerit points."

"After their pointless discussion, they'll probably snatch the Holy Grail from you, which would be the worst possible outcome for me."

"A fake priest, clearly a member of the church, yet he's helping the Magic Association."

“I serve God, not the church.”

"You're quite the smooth talker, so you're the fake priest." Rin Tohsaka said this with her back to Iwamine, completely denying Iwamine's claims.

After all, Rin Tohsaka and Iwamine's choices and beliefs differed in many ways. After saying this, Rin Tohsaka walked towards the door without lingering to interrupt.

Lin Yan glanced at Iwamine, then followed. Was this Iwamine really Rin Tohsaka's senior? Their relationship didn't seem very harmonious. However, Lin Yan genuinely didn't know what grudge existed between Rin Tohsaka and Iwamine, and besides, human nature is complex.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. It's better to say that severing ties is more refreshing. You should also go outside soon. There's nothing left to do at this church."

"Let's go. We're on the same road to the town, right?"

"Tohsaka, is your Servant alright?"

"Hmm. Archer is fine. Although the injuries he sustained from being defeated by your Saber won't disappear easily, and he can't materialize for the time being."

"Isn't he/she with you?"

Lin Yan did not detect Archer's aura. He knew that Servants could hide their forms, but such hiding was meaningless. Lin Yan did not rely on his eyes to find people, but on their aura. No matter how well they hid, a master could find their aura.

This ability can even easily pinpoint the exact location of the other party.

The more skilled the expert, the more precise their technique.

"Yes, hide it in my house. Because it would be very disadvantageous if we were attacked by other Servants right now, so we need to defend against the enemy in a favorable location before our injuries heal."

"By the way, Tohsaka. You just said that guy is the supervisor of the Holy Grail War. Does that guy know about your Servant?" Lin Yan asked.

He was referring to Yanfeng.

"He probably doesn't know, because I didn't tell him."

"I thought you and that guy were very close. Of course, Lin Yan wasn't foolish enough to think they were close; he was just testing Rin Tohsaka."

"Here's a piece of advice: never reveal your true identity as a Servant to anyone. Even those you can trust, please don't tell them. Otherwise, you'll be eliminated long ago."

"Saber's true identity..."

"So you're saying that Servants are heroes there, and even if they're very strong, they'll be killed in their sleep one day once their strength is discovered, right? Okay, then ask Saber to tell you your real name. That way you'll understand what I'm saying. But wait a minute. Because Lin Yan is a bit... well, it's better if he doesn't know."

"Why.

"It's nothing, just a reminder."

"What about Rin Tohsaka? She didn't even tell the priest. Does that mean she can't trust him? No matter how much Lin Yan tried to circumvent the issue, he couldn't get past Rin Tohsaka. In the end, Lin Yan led him to a topic that interested him: the only information he didn't know—the true relationship between Rin Tohsaka and Kotomine."

It would be interesting to see what they are hiding from each other.

The secrets will be revealed little by little.

"Kirei? Of course. I'm not so foolish as to believe that guy. That guy is a fake, someone who transferred from the Church to the Mage's Association but is still a member of the Church. He's very likely selling information about others to his other masters."

Rin Tohsaka frowned and gave a cold snort of disgust. Her disgust was obvious and undisguised, and she clearly did not trust the priest.

"Let's break up here. I've done everything I could, and staying together would just be troublesome, right? Let's break up cleanly, and from tomorrow we'll be enemies."

That's just Rin Tohsaka's personality. Although she's always fought alone, as the sixth head of the prestigious Tohsaka family of magic, she's exceptionally talented, surpassing 99% of her peers. Fate is inherently a war fought alone, in which all the cruel instincts of humanity are unleashed, and some are willing to stop at nothing to achieve victory.

This is war.

Rin Tohsaka frowned; she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Continuing to be together would be troublesome, right? After all, for Rin Tohsaka, everyone else involved in the Holy Grail War is an enemy, a competitor. Since only one person can ultimately win the Holy Grail War, there's no room for anything else.

"You are so kind."

Lin Yan suddenly said.

"I won't hold back when it comes to flattery, no matter what you say." Rin Tohsaka said coldly, unwilling to have too many emotional entanglements with anyone. Besides, this is a cruel world, and personal feelings will only make things more complicated.

"I know. But if possible, I don't want to be your enemy. Isn't it better to have one more friend than one more enemy?"

"what?

Rin Tohsaka suddenly fell silent, her eyes filled with complex emotions, as if she were pondering something or weighing the pros and cons. She had witnessed Lin Yan's abilities firsthand; if such a person were an enemy, she would likely be eliminated very quickly.

Rather than being enemies from the start, it's better to become an ally.

"In short, if a Servant is defeated, do not hesitate to escape into the church you just visited; that way, you can at least save your life."

"Although I'm reluctant, I'll listen for now. Lin Yan seems to have accurately grasped Rin Tohsaka's weaknesses. In fact, Rin Tohsaka isn't suited for negotiation; she doesn't have many bargaining chips. Lin Yan is the only one in this game who can watch from a god-like perspective. He's a participant and an observer at the same time. First, he doesn't care about the benefits of winning the Holy Grail War; second, Lin Yan's life is not threatened in any way, so he can participate in this game without any scruples."

This is the harsh reality; for others, it's a brutal war, but for Lin Yan, it's merely participating in a game.

If Lin Yan wanted, he could win immediately and end the game.

However, he did not want to disrupt the rhythm of this world.

“I…” Rin Tohsaka seemed hesitant. She glanced at Saber, then sighed and continued, “Listen carefully, if I keep giving you advice, I’ll really start to pity you, so I won’t say anything. Please be careful. Because even if you are very outstanding, I am not the kind of person who can be manipulated.”

After finishing her sentence, Rin Tohsaka turned and left.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks, her gaze indicating that she seemed to have seen something, while Lin Yan had already noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest.

That's a berserker!

"Tosaka, it's him."

Lin Yan also noticed the Berserker. At the same time, a childish voice echoed in the night. The childish voice was particularly eye-catching and attention-grabbing. It was indeed a girl's voice.

"Have you finished speaking?"

On the distant hillside, there was indeed a young girl with a childlike face. At that moment, the clouds parted, revealing the moon, whose light shone exceptionally brightly on the mountainside, almost dazzlingly so. Beside the girl was a figure, a strikingly conspicuous silhouette against the dim, pale night of the city.

"Berserker."

Rin Tohsaka also noticed the Berserker.

Compared to other classes, Berserkers possess exceptionally high attack and stamina, but conversely, low luck, agility, and defense. They are arguably the most powerful class in terms of attack, but also have the lowest accuracy. Theoretically, because interference can be achieved by adding Berserk elements to summoning spells, multiple Berserkers can exist in the Holy Grail War.

He is one of the two great heroes in Greek mythology. A demigod, born of Zeus and a mortal woman. A superhuman who embarks on numerous adventures due to a feud with the goddess Hera, ultimately overcoming all obstacles.

Because the Berserker has been turned berserk, his interests and hobbies are unknown.

"Goodnight, big brother. This is the second time we've met like this. I really hoped to meet you again, and I didn't expect my wish to come true so quickly. I'm so lucky! It seems today is my lucky day." The girl's innocent face contrasted sharply with her chilling smile, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Your servants are resting? How boring. I was going to say I'd kill them both at once." The girl even seemed a little excited when talking about killing, and she pouted.

She seemed a little disappointed.

However, the girl suddenly looked at Rin Tohsaka, then bowed, her elegant demeanor standing out even more against the backdrop of bloodshed.

She smiled innocently and brightly, speaking in a sweet voice.

"Nice to meet you, Rin. I am Illya. You'll know me if I say I'm Illyasviel von Einzbern, right?"

"Einstein."

Illya, as an artificial life form of the Holy Grail, is the Master representing the Einzbern family in the Fifth Holy Grail War. Her Servant is Hercules, a Berserker who lost his rationality in exchange for immense power.

She usually wears a purple dress.

Her long silver hair and red eyes were inherited from her mother, while her bangs were inherited from her father.

Although she appears younger than Shirou, Illya is actually one year older than him. This is because she underwent several abnormal magical alterations while in her mother's womb, causing her to grow very slowly and even stop developing secondary sexual characteristics before they fully appeared. Therefore, her physique and appearance remain at the age of nine. Furthermore, according to Zouken Matou's assessment, she will not live for more than a year after the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Illya, possessing both innocence and cruelty, carries the burden of killing her own father, Kiritsugu Emiya, the traitor to the Einzbern family. However, with her father dead, she develops an interest in her adopted brother, Shirou. Perhaps due to this love-hate relationship, she respectfully addresses Shirou as "Big Brother" in the story, yet repeatedly attempts to kill him in the bad ending. In the main storyline, she struggles with whether or not to kill Shirou, but before that, they have a happy and harmonious relationship.

When Ilya was young, no one in the Einzbern family taught her the difference between good and evil, so she might kill with a smile if she was angry or her self-esteem was hurt, because Ilya did not know that killing indiscriminately was wrong.

"Then kill them. Take them down, Berserker."

Berserker, the berserker, charged forward with his enormous body. Despite his massive size, he was incredibly fast, appearing before everyone in the blink of an eye.

The girl seemed to be singing as she gave commands to the aliens behind her.

"Step back!"

Saber reacted swiftly, throwing off her raincoat and instantly shielding Lin Yan while sprinting towards Berserker. They arrived at the same spot almost simultaneously; Saber had predicted Berserker's landing point.

Saber blocked Berserker with her transparent sword, but her attack was extremely swift, and Berserker's greatsword was also incredibly powerful.

Rumble!

An explosive sound rang out, the clash of steel against steel, but Saber's power was clearly at a disadvantage. Having suffered a setback, Saber, her massive body wielding her greatsword, seemed completely unaffected, continuing her next attack.

Saber can only defend passively; if she doesn't defend with all her might, she'll likely be overwhelmed in a single blow. Berserker's power is overwhelming and absolute! This is also the Berserker's advantage, and if Saber wants to win, she must use speed to defeat him.

However, even though Berserker has the advantage of strength, speed is by no means a disadvantage.

There are almost no vulnerabilities to be found.

Moreover, Berserker's speed is getting faster and faster, and it even shows a tendency to surpass Saber's speed. This is definitely not a good thing.

Saber cannot fight a protracted war.

He knew this very well. Berserker unleashed his finishing blow, and Saber's body floated up to dodge the fatal attack.

Saber flipped over and landed, seemingly injured, barely managing to stand up, with red blood seeping from her chest.

"Tsk."

Lin Yan wanted to see Saber's strength, but now was not the time to stand idly by. If Saber died, it would inevitably have a significant impact on the entire plot. Lin Yan didn't like an uncontrollable future; it was safer to keep it in his own hands.

"So……"

Lin Yan felt a fire burning in his chest, power gathering little by little. He slowly concentrated his power, and then his body shot out like a bullet cutting through the air. This speed was beyond the range of human vision; one could only feel a gust of wind passing by.

Whoosh—bang—

In an instant, almost no one saw how it was done.

Boom!

Berserker's body slammed into the wall in the distance like a bullet, causing the entire wall to collapse. Saber was stunned. Even though she had been in contact with Lin Yan for several days and had some understanding of his strength, what exactly had happened?

Not only Saber, but Rin Tohsaka was even more shocked.

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened like saucers. She had previously thought that her understanding was accurate and that her judgment of Lin Yan was correct, but now it seemed that she knew absolutely nothing about Lin Yan, and was completely ignorant of his power and abilities.

But none of this matters.

"You! How did you do that? What happened?" Ilya stared at Berserker, who was crashing into the wall. She knew very well Berserker's abilities; his power was always considered absolute.
