Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Lin Yan's eyes were like the scythe of death. At that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were shrouded in boundless darkness and about to be swallowed whole.

"However, I was also taken aback when I learned that Lin Yan was the master. Since we are both surprised, may we say a few words?"

"It's okay to talk, but it's okay to say what you want to say."

"What about the future? I just said I don't plan to fight. But the others aren't like that, are they? Isn't it unsettling to have to guard against disasters that could come at any time? It's unsettling for one person, but don't you think two people could manage?"

Cooperation? That's quite a clever little scheme.

"Forget it, it's not a good place to talk like this. I don't know who might hear us. Let's go somewhere else. My house is fine. It's safe there because Tohsaka won't be able to find us, and it's safe even if we get attacked."

"Why did you say you wanted to change locations? Lunch break is almost over, and you have something to say."

"Idiot? You could have just skipped it. Come on, okay, let's go. I know Lin Yan is the master, so I'm happy. Don't dampen my spirits."

"How can you do that? Skipping school would make you seem suspicious."

"What an inflexible guy! Well, that makes sense, generally people would be on guard."

"But don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't take the initiative to attack. Do I look like the kind of person who would suddenly attack you?"

Indeed, I cannot easily go with you.

"Forget it. You should bring your Servant too. I don't want to fight such a dangerous opponent." Shinji shuddered. Just thinking about Lin Yan's eyes made him feel a little scared, and it was even etched into his memory. It was an instinctive fear of the strong.

"Alright, let's go. If Tohsaka sees us, things won't go so easily."

Western-style residential area.

This area is where Rin Tohsaka's family lives, and the Matou family's mansion can be seen not far away, so they seem to be not far from each other.

"Lin Yan, over here. I'm in the living room, come over quickly."

"This way."

The heavy curtains were tightly drawn, and the living room was very bright. Shinji Matou reminded him to walk forward, as if he knew the way well.

"Lin Yan, over here."

Lin Yan looked in the direction of Matou Shinji's voice and vaguely saw a woman who was like obsidian in the darkness, shining with the luster of a gemstone.

Medusa has long, flowing purple hair that reaches past her knees, and seems to possess a life of its own, just as in the legends. The serpentine mark on her forehead was originally intended to be a third eye, but this was ultimately abandoned. The eyepatch and the glasses she wears daily are the "Demon Eye Killer," used to seal the Demon Eye. When wearing the eyepatch, vision is completely blocked, and one can only observe the outside world through hearing, touch, smell, and magical perception.

A black top and trousers paired with black over-the-knee boots. The alluring atmosphere and stunning figure are reminiscent of Sakura's hidden charm. Although tall and voluptuous, she harbors an inferiority complex about her tall and mature style because her standard of beauty is "small and cute."

Although she is beautiful, her prickly demeanor and cold words and actions often lead people to mistakenly believe she has a cold personality. In reality, she simply finds things troublesome and doesn't want to do anything.

Medusa was naturally taciturn and aloof. In addition, her eyes were covered by an eyepatch, making her difficult to understand. However, she was not emotionally weak; rather, she was someone who overthought things and kept them bottled up inside.

She is ruthless in battle, and will not hesitate to use even innocent civilians unrelated to the Holy Grail War as bait, as long as she has the Master's orders.

On the other hand, they can show some warmth to those who are not enemies of their Master.

"Let me introduce you. This is my servant, Rider."

Rider's expression suddenly changed. She hadn't noticed Lin Yan's presence at all before, and only now did she realize that someone was there, and someone whose presence she couldn't detect. She was genuinely surprised. However, Rider quickly regained her composure, after all, she couldn't afford to be discovered.

"Is this how you bring people here? Even being cunning has its limits, Shinji."

"Oh, come on, I was just kidding. I know Lin Yan wouldn't do something like that. But, because your Servant is a different story. I've put a lot of effort into training her. It's not surprising that a Servant might disobey their master. So, just consider this a little restraint."

At that moment, Rin Tohsaka also walked in.

In fact, Rider had already sensed Rin Tohsaka's presence, since Rin Tohsaka's aura was very obvious.

"Is Rider a hindrance to my Servants? That doesn't sound good." Rin Tohsaka said with her usual haughty and arrogant tone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm a layman, not as knowledgeable as Tohsaka. Please forgive me for that."

"Hmph." Rin Tohsaka snorted coldly.

At this moment, Shinji Matou looked at Lin Yan and said something else.

"Then why don't you all call out your Servants? That way you can get to know each other better, and it's very fair. Hmm, that's good, that's good! I've shown you my Servants, can I see yours now?"

"I refuse. Do whatever you want to control me. This is enough for us to talk." Before Rin Tohsaka could even speak, Lin Yan had already refused.

There's no need to be polite with Shinji Matou. If we really have to fight, then we can deal with them right here. The first thing to do is take out Rider.

hiss--

Medusa Rider couldn't help but gasp.

It's possible that Lin Yan inadvertently revealed his murderous intent.

Rider's pupils dilated instantly. It was the first time she had ever felt the breath of death. Although she was already a Heroic Spirit, death and true death were not the same. One was complete and utter disappearance.

"I said I want to see? I don't know what you're planning to do, but wouldn't it be better to listen to what I have to say?"

"That's enough for now. I didn't come here to let the Servants get to know each other. If that's your goal, then I'm going back now."

"Don't be like that. Matou Shinji is just like that, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. After realizing that he was no match for Lin Yan, his attitude towards him changed substantially. Although he is still a bit sarcastic at times, he has actually reached a certain level of restraint."

"Alright, let's get down to business. But I only have one thing to say. As I just mentioned, can you cooperate with me, Lin Yan? Although I've become the master, I still don't know what the Holy Grail War is. Rather than working alone, I'd rather cooperate with someone I can trust. Besides, you are indeed very strong, and I believe that the final victory in this Holy Grail War is undoubtedly yours. It's perfectly normal to admire the strong."

After Shinji Matou said those words, Rin Tohsaka, who was standing to the side, gave a disdainful smile.

He saw it too, and was very dissatisfied, but because of Lin Yan, he even forced a smile and did not express any dissatisfaction with that contemptuous smile.

"Wait a minute. I have something to ask you before that. You can answer me after you've asked."

"What, you want to ask me how I became a master? I heard that the prerequisite for becoming a master is to be a magician. Although I am not mature, I have learned magic and accidentally made a contract with a Servant to become a master. Was Shinji also accidentally summoned a Servant and got involved in the Holy Grail War?"

Lin Yan knew, of course, how Matou Shinji became the master, but he wanted to see Matou Shinji's attitude and whether the original plot had changed even slightly due to his intervention.

"Did Lin Yan become the master by chance? We're quite similar. We both became masters against our own will. But don't get me wrong. I already knew what a master was, even before the Holy Grail War. Because the Matou family, unlike yours, has a long history. Of course, I know you're very powerful."

Shinji Matou has a very strong will to survive.

"The Matou family, though a lineage of magus, is a withered clan. Although the Matou ancestors came to this land with the Tohsaka family, they were not compatible with the Japanese soil. With each generation, this—you know, magic circuits?—gradually decreased. By the time I was born, the Matou bloodline seemed to have become like that of ordinary people. So, the Matou family are not magus. They were just a family of magus in the past."

Shinji Matou didn't hide much, and most of what he said was true. He seemed to be honest and didn't try to be clever.

That's not bad.

Lin Yan could consider letting him off the hook for now, if Matou Shinji can also be pragmatic in this matter.

"So, if you were a magician before, is only knowledge left now?" Lin Yan continued, wanting to test this playful monkey further.

"It's a pity. But even without the magic circuits, my passion for learning magic remains unchanged. Whether it's about my master or the Holy Grail War, I can find out with a simple investigation. The reason I can remain so calm even after being suddenly chosen as my master is because of the teachings of the previous generation."

"You've only learned about magic, right? So, is Sakura also learning magic?" Lin Yan asked deliberately, even though he clearly knew everything.

However, this time Shinji Matou did not answer truthfully, but instead played a trick. Perhaps it was because of long-term repression that he was unwilling to admit it.

"Magicians with ancient lineage only pass on their secret techniques to their eldest son."

"Splitting something in two would reduce its power, wouldn't it? A true magician combines ten spells into a single crystal, making their bloodline even stronger. Even blood relatives wouldn't give this away easily," Lin Yan said.

"Therefore, magicians' families, except for the heirs, do not learn magic. Children who are not chosen to be heirs either grow up without knowing magic or are adopted by others; this is the rule. This time, Matou Shinji was telling the truth, but he did not mention that Matou Sakura was an adopted child."

It's all about creating an information gap, a self-righteous information gap.

"Then you understand, Lin Yan. Although I've become the master, I'm not familiar with magic. You're right too; although you can use a little, your knowledge is like that of an outsider. See, don't you think this is perfect? ​​We've both been forced to become masters, so cooperate with me."

“That’s alright. But I need to make sure you’re doing this to protect yourself, Shinji,” Lin Yan asked.

"certainly.

Shinji Matou suddenly turned to look at Rin Tohsaka, and said in a sarcastic tone, "I want to cooperate with you, but some people see me as a thorn in their side." Then he looked at Lin Yan in a fawning manner, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so ruthless! But that woman originally had no weaknesses? Look, don't you think this is the perfect opportunity to defeat her?"

This is the first time I've ever seen someone sow discord in public.

Rin Tohsaka tried to rush forward, but Lin Yan stopped her with a single look.

"Shinji. Do you know anyone who's managing the Holy Grail War?"

"The priest at the church. I heard he survived the last one, but he seemed to be in serious trouble, so I didn't go to see him. I'm not a magician, wouldn't it be troublesome to be forced to follow the rules of a magician?"

Shinji Matou stated this with absolute certainty.

They have such thick skin.

However, Lin Yan saw through the contradiction at a glance. If he didn't want to participate in the infighting of the Holy Grail War, then why did he go to find Yan Feng? This was obviously a contradiction.

"Shinji. Do you know about the barrier set up in the school?"

“I know. Although I couldn’t sense it, Rider told me. What happened?”

"Didn't you do that?" Rin Tohsaka questioned.

"That wasn't me. I remember there was another master at the school, wasn't it that guy who did it? It couldn't possibly be me, because I don't have magic circuits to begin with. From the very beginning, I've been an existence that can't be detected on the radar of ordinary masters," Shinji Matou retorted.

"How about that collaboration?"

"I refuse. I'm not going to discuss how to defeat Tohsaka with you. First of all, it's not appropriate to do this so openly in front of her. Although I will have to fight that girl one day, I can trust her now, and I want to trust her too."

“I think it’ll be too late to wait until something happens. But since you put it that way, whatever. I’ll see how things go, just like you do.” Matou Shinji whispered to Lin Yan.

He seemed to still hold a sliver of hope. However, Lin Yan didn't care about that; after all, he wouldn't choose such a despicable and incompetent person.

"But does Sakura know about this?"

"I don't know, and I don't plan to tell her. I am the heir to the Matou family. I will let Sakura continue to be my sister without knowing anything."

“I also hope that Sakura can continue to be like that. This is a warning, and also a threat. If Shinji does anything he shouldn’t do, Lin Yan will make him regret it.”

"Well then, since you're so worried about Sakura, as her older brother, I should express my gratitude. Alright, I have some good news for you, Lin Yan. Although I don't know who it is, a master has built a nest in the temple."

"A temple? Could it be Liudong Temple?"

"According to my servant, there seems to be a witch lurking in those mountains. She seems to be collecting souls on a large scale, and it will be troublesome if we don't defeat her soon."

"What.

"That's all for now. Rider, send him away. Listen carefully, Lin Yan is on our side. You can't hurt him. As expected, Matou Shinji still holds onto hope, hoping to cooperate with Lin Yan, after all, he knows Lin Yan's strength."

Rider seemed to be still in shock. She was the one who most accurately felt the overwhelming power from Lin Yan, which is why she was so terrified that she didn't even hear Matou Shinji's command.

"Need not.

"You're welcome.

Rider was shrouded in black, but Lin Yan could sense that Rider was very nervous, even trembling slightly, though he was trying his best to suppress it. A smile appeared on Lin Yan's lips. He was indeed a formidable opponent; even his hidden killing intent had been sensed. It seemed he needed to hide it even better. Although it wouldn't matter if he didn't hide it, Lin Yan had his own plans.

"anyway.

Among the Heroic Spirits are many beauties, but Medusa before us is both beautiful and dangerous. Medusa is the youngest of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology. She is not a traditional Heroic Spirit, but rather an anti-hero, an enemy of humanity. Originally the native Earth Mother Goddess, she fled to the Isle of the Unknown with her two older sisters due to the strategies of the Olympian gods and the fanaticism of the people. It is said that she constantly strived to become stronger to protect her two powerless sisters, eventually transforming into a serpentine monster that could turn everything it saw to stone. She was cornered by the hero Perseus with his various Noble Phantasms and beheaded. While her two older sisters were born as complete goddesses and did not grow, Medusa, being an incomplete goddess, grew. This is why she appears older than her two sisters.

"Rider. Was what Shinji just said true?"

"I'm not lying. There really is a witch living in that mountain."

"Rider?"

“Be careful if you want to defeat her. Because that witch knows everything about men.” Rider added, “But if you're the one taking action, then you don’t need to worry about those words, right? You’re a good person, and most importantly, you’re really strong. I understand why Shinji wants to recruit you; he’s not stupid, and he’s very good at choosing people.”

"goodbye!"

Medusa smiled, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Then she disappeared.

He and Rin Tohsaka parted ways here. Rin Tohsaka seemed to have something to deal with alone. As Lin Yan walked, he suddenly heard a voice.

"What's a man who skipped afternoon classes doing in a place like this?" Liu Dong Yicheng suddenly appeared not far away and said to Lin Yan.

The person in front of me, dressed in standard school uniform, with short purple hair and round-framed glasses, is Yoo Dong Ichisei.
