Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Nevertheless, Ilya couldn't even see what happened before Berserker was defeated.

Although she didn't want to believe it, reason told Ilya that now was not the time to linger in battle. "Berserker! Retreat!! Run away now!!!"

Fear spread instantly.

It looked like dark clouds.

It also resembles ink.

The darkness permeated the entire world, as if all before his eyes was shrouded in an impenetrable, airless void. Lin Yan's memory had been implanted with the original story, a tale from five years ago, set in winter. He and Kiritsugu had admired the moon together; its light bathed the earth, the trees, the vegetation, and the houses, making everything appear so peaceful, so gentle.

They sat in the corridor.

This is a fantastic spot for moon viewing.

Kiritsugu looked very relaxed, something I hadn't seen in a long time. Lin Yan's memories resonated with his own: "When I was a child, I once longed to be on the side of justice."

Kiritsugu's voice seemed to be right beside him, and Lin Yan felt as if he were in that scene, experiencing what happened there firsthand.

"What do you mean? You once had high hopes, but now you've given up?" Lin Yan said calmly, though he did understand what Kiritsugu was saying.

Shirou Emiya may not understand his father Kiritsugu's thoughts, but Lin Yan is not the young Shirou Emiya, and his thoughts are more mature. He has experienced far too much, whether it is the bloodshed, violence, and despair during the outbreak of war; or the deceit and wickedness of peacetime; or even the many troubles of his innocent student days.

Every world is different, but every era is filled with different colors.

Whether it's the despairing black or the vibrant red that symbolizes the blossoming of life.

It's still a colorful hue of despair.

Despite being questioned, Kiritsugu calmly gazed at the distant moon.

"Yes, it's a pity. Heroes have a time limit; it's hard to call yourself that once you become an adult."

"Then there's nothing we can do."

"Really, there's no way around it."

"Well, since there's no other way, I'll do it. Dad can't because he's an adult, but I'm fine with it. Leave it to me, Dad's dream."

"I will definitely complete it..." Lin Yan said from the bottom of his heart. He would definitely complete it, and complete it perfectly, bypassing all the disasters and reaching the destination directly.

But it won't be soon, since he also wants to experience the scenery along the way.

I'm relieved.

Kiritsugu is gone forever, and Shirou Emiya has lost him forever. Perhaps Kiritsugu's influence on Shirou was profound, greatly shaping his character. It is precisely because of this that Shirou faced death so calmly.

"The side of justice you mentioned..." Lin Yan murmured to himself.

Suddenly, Lin Yan seemed to be startled. Rin Tohsaka was right in front of him, staring at him intently, as if she wanted to devour him whole.

"Tohsaka, why?"

"Wait a minute. Aren't you going to apologize first? I won't let this go until I hear an apology for what happened yesterday."

At this moment, the Berserker and Illya had already fled, leaving only three people: Lin Yan, Rin Tohsaka, and Saber. Saber's gaze towards Lin Yan seemed to have changed slightly, and she was more certain in her heart that following the man before her, her master, was perhaps fate's arrangement.

"How strange, who exactly are you? Why are you so unfathomable?" Rin Tohsaka looked at Lin Yan, her mind seemingly short-circuiting briefly from shock. However, Rin Tohsaka was, after all, a very independent and strong-willed person. Nevertheless, she had a deeper expectation for this Holy Grail War. Although it was highly likely that she would not win in the end, during their brief interaction, Rin Tohsaka sensed that Lin Yan didn't seem to have much enthusiasm for the Holy Grail War.

If Lin Yan were on their side, they might concede the final spoils of victory.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Lin Yan smiled slightly and said.

"You are actually very outstanding."

This is Lin Yan's recognition of Rin Tohsaka. In a war filled with killing and bloodshed, to have such calm judgment and decisive action is something that not everyone can do, which shows that she is truly outstanding.

"If you knew that defeat would mean death, you wouldn't have started a fight so easily. Because Lin Yan, you seem to go for walks alone at night even in this situation. I originally wanted to scare you so you wouldn't do anything dangerous, and if things went smoothly, you could survive to the end. I didn't expect you to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, a completely invincible being."

Rin Tohsaka smiled somewhat helplessly.

So the clown was herself. She didn't seem to care that she was weaker than Lin Yan, however...

"I didn't notice that. Thank you, but why is Tohsaka angry?"

"I really don't know if you're praising me or being sarcastic. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Anyway, what you said before still stands. That's all I care about."

Rin Tohsaka was honest enough; her tsundere personality was very impractical in this world, as was her so-called superfluous pride.

She isn't overly stubborn.

"of course."

Lin Yan nodded calmly as always.

He, Lin Yan, is a man of his word; once he makes a promise, it cannot be taken back. He is a man of his word, otherwise he would not make such a promise so easily.

This is his dignity.

Moreover, in this world, Lin Yan's most favored person is Rin Tohsaka; as for the others, they are either crazy or too stupid.

"Ok.

Toosaka Rin nodded.

"But since you're so capable, you probably don't need me to provide you with any information, right? I used to think you were just a novice, completely unaware of the rules of this world, which is why I took you to the church. But now it seems I was overthinking things, completely overthinking them."

Tohsaka said it as if it were a matter of course. Although she was a little unaccustomed to Tohsaka's straightforward personality, she thought that Tohsaka was here because she had something to say.

"That's not the case. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. If you have any information you'd like to share, I'd be happy to hear it in detail," Lin Yan said modestly.

If it's the humility of the weak, people will find it very distasteful, thinking it's pretentious.

However, Rin Tohsaka had already recognized Lin Yan's strength. His humility was entirely due to his personality and character, and it also showed that Lin Yan considered her, Rin Tohsaka, as a friend.

"The reason for this is probably the Servant. Is it because your Servant is very strong, or is there some kind of error during the summoning? I think it's a combination of both. Maybe there's some kind of online connection involved... I think..."

"Online? Online means connecting the causal link between the familiar and the magician?"

"The main point is that Lin Yan's relationship with Saber is not the typical master-familiar relationship."

"From what I see, Saber seems to have the ability to heal herself, so it's possible that that ability flowed into you. Although it's usually the magician's ability that is added to the familiar, in your case, it's the familiar's special ability that helped the master."

"Simply put, it means the river flows from bottom to top?"

"A very good analogy. Although it would have been impossible otherwise, Saber's magic is so great that it could change the course of a river. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine that she could fight against Berserker with that physique."

"It was impossible before. Are Tohsaka and Archer just a regular magician and familiar?"

"Although he's the kind of guy who doesn't listen to anyone, it's still that kind of relationship."

"The connection between a master and a servant is like gasoline and an engine. We provide the magic power, and they just absorb it. However, it seems that some masters physically fuse with their servants, gaining a kind of near-immortality. They're the kind of guys who won't die as long as their servants don't die. Lin Yan, are you even listening to me?"

"I'm listening. So, Tohsaka, that is, my body, can be healed no matter how serious the injury?"

"It will consume your Servant's mana. Although the reason is unknown, it should be due to Saber's materialization. Because you can't learn self-healing spells. However, you don't really need to, after all, someone as powerful as you is probably no one who can hurt you."

From that moment on, Tosaka always felt that Lin Yan's words were a bit complicated and hard to understand.

However, perhaps all wise people are like this.

Tohsaka sighed.

"Magic is very expensive, and the more you spend, the less money you have left! Not spending money is unforgivable, especially for me! I never thought that in the end I still couldn't escape the constraints of worldly life."

I felt somewhat anxious.

Moreover, he realized that his strength was inferior to, or rather, far inferior to, Lin Yan's.

"Forget it, let's put the money aside for now."

"The real issue is keeping Tohsaka here..."

What are your plans for the future?

Rin Tohsaka was very interested in Lin Yan's next plan, after all, it concerned her future plans. Perhaps Lin Yan's plan would profoundly impact Rin Tohsaka's original plans, even causing them to change completely, or even abandon her previous course.

Having a strong companion is very important.

This was especially true after witnessing Lin Yan's strength.

The bloody and brutal Holy Grail War... Rin Tohsaka gave Lin Yan a meaningful look, thinking to herself, "Maybe it can end sooner, even half the time earlier, or even more. Ending it early is good, after all, although I want to achieve final victory, Rin Tohsaka still doesn't like bloodshed, violence, and more vibrant lives disappearing before my eyes."

Lin Yan looked into the distance.

The distant sky was the same as always, nothing different. The leaves rustled slightly, and a small bird landed on a branch, preening its feathers. A few seconds later, another small bird landed beside it, making a total of three birds. The three seedlings stood in a row, peaceful and serene.

They landed briefly and then left.

Every creature has companions, but Lin Yan has always been alone.

0035 The Servant's Desire [Please Subscribe]

No matter which world Lin Yan is in or what kind of encounters he has.

In the end, it's nothing more than parting.

"I have no interest in such a nonsensical thing as the Holy Grail. I find it strange to fight desperately for something you don't want."

"I knew you'd say that. Actually, the Servants' goal is the Holy Grail. They only answer humanity's call because they have the means to obtain the Holy Grail."

Rin Tohsaka said.

Lin Yan actually knew this all along, but he pretended not to. Indeed, Lin Yan could sense this from Saber. As an ancient heroic spirit, Saber was invincible throughout her life, ultimately dying on the battlefield. To many, she was like a god, but now she was imprisoned in the cycle of reincarnation, traversing different worlds and timelines endlessly.

Like a bird of paradise.

In the movie "Days of Being Wild", there is a bird called "Bird of Paradise" that is called "Legless Bird" because it has no feet. It spends its entire life soaring in the air and only gets dirty when it dies.

In real life, there is indeed such a "bird that never lands"—the swift.

It can fly continuously in the sky for ten months. When it gets tired, it sleeps while flying. Landing is not a place for it to rest, but rather a closer step to death.

"The Holy Grail is the most important thing to a Servant. They obey their master because of the possibility of obtaining the Holy Grail, and sometimes they even die for their master. But you say you don't want the Holy Grail. Even if you're killed as a traitor, you can't complain, right? Do you think Servants will unconditionally obey humans? The Holy Grail will grant the wishes of those who obtain it. Even Servants who are the guardians of their masters are no exception. Servants also have various wishes. That's why they respond to summons that are otherwise impossible." Rin Tohsaka was somewhat relieved; it turned out there was information Lin Yan didn't know.

It seems she understands this world better.

This is thanks to her background and upbringing.

If someone is Lin Yan's companion and cannot provide him with intelligence or other valuable information, then the cooperation would be extremely unequal.

Rin Tohsaka no longer aspires to complete equality.

Based on current observations, Lin Yan's strength completely overwhelms Rin Tohsaka; Rin Tohsaka's power is simply not on the same level as his.

Not equivalent.

But now it seems that at least Rin Tohsaka believes she is needed.

So he continued.

"It wasn't the master who summoned the servants in order to obtain the Holy Grail. It was the servants who responded to the master's call in order to obtain the Holy Grail."

Lin Yan seemed to sense the order, so he asked a question.

"Servants also have desires? Does that mean Saber does too, that she has a wish for the Holy Grail to grant her wish?"

"Therefore, even without their master's orders, Servants will eliminate other masters. Only one person can obtain the Holy Grail. They will not give the Holy Grail to anyone other than their master. Servants are different from masters; they cannot steal Command Seals. Their only way to eliminate other masters is by killing. Even if the master has no intention of fighting, they cannot avoid battle. A master attacked by a Servant must use their own Servant to repel them. This is the Holy Grail War. You should have heard enough about it from Kirei, right? Servants do not have life or death. Even if a Servant dies, they simply return to their original place. Because Heroic Spirits are already a phenomenon that cannot die even if they die. The only one who will be defeated and killed is the master of the person involved."

"Servants are spirits; they are already complete and will not grow any further. But magical energy used as fuel is different. The more magical energy a Servant accumulates, the more freely they can use their special abilities from their previous life. It's just like us mages, you know what I mean?"

"It means he can perform magic tricks in quick succession. There are still big differences between magicians, especially since Lin Yan obtained his magic in the most mysterious way. And in order to keep things going according to the original plot, Lin Yan also uses magic."

However, this is not the decisive factor.

"That's right. But Servants don't receive their magic from nature like we do. Basically, they operate using the magic within their own bodies. And what supplements their magic is us, their masters. Servants can only use their own magic combined with their masters' magic to unleash the power they had in life. Because Servants are spirits. They can replenish their nutrition by eating the same things."

Rin Tohsaka explained.

Lin Yan indeed lacked this kind of information, which surprised him somewhat. After all, he was using the character of Emiya Shirou, and while he had slightly more information than Shirou, it wasn't to the point of having an omniscient perspective. Although Lin Yan could obtain anything he wanted.

"The same thing, are you talking about spirits? But what kind of spirits do you need to eat?"
