Looking at the figure in front of him, Zheng Zha spoke without hesitation.

"Oh? Such arrogance! Who is your leader?"

Upon hearing this, Zouken Matou instinctively became alert. The Clock Tower, Atlas Institute, the Wandering Sea... all the places he knew about surfaced in his mind one by one.

If you keep thinking about it, Zouken Matou will probably start thinking about the thought key system next door.

"My boss is the magician assassin, Kiritsugu Emiya!"

Zheng Zha spoke without hesitation, and Matou Zouken was stunned upon hearing this: "Who?"

A moment later, Zouken Matou remembered hearing the name before, during his investigation into the Holy Grail War.

It seems they're from the Einzbern side? They're the kind of people who use ordinary weapons to hunt magicians.

It matches up!

Looking at what Zheng Zha was holding, Matou Zouken thought to himself with certainty.

In the next instant, Zouken Matou raised his right hand, causing the surrounding swarm of insects to rage violently. He took a deep breath, intending to devour Zheng Zha completely.

The dense swarm of insects moved towards Zheng Zha's direction. With the Nine Yang Divine Skill achieving the condensation of nine great stars, these insects were naturally courting death.

However, Zheng Zha hasn't even reached the initial stage yet; at most, he can only refine Yang internal energy.

Faced with the swarm of insects charging straight at him, Zheng Zha did not hesitate to burn his own power.

With each punch, Zheng Zha killed some insects, but compared to all of Matou Zouken's insects, the number of those killed was negligible.

"Is this all the Magician Killer's men are capable of? I don't even know how you dared to blow up the door."

Zouken Matou couldn't help but shake his head, then turned and continued walking towards the inner courtyard with Sakura without looking back.

"Should we make a move now?"

Anderson, who was observing from the shadows, thought for a moment and said that his abilities were indeed not suitable for this occasion, since he was after all seeking a one-hit kill.

"No, let's wait a bit longer. The new recruits can't rely on us alone. Maybe Zheng Zha and Steve can unlock the genetic lock here?"

Looking at the scene before him, Wei Ming said this.

On the battlefield at this moment, Zheng Zha and Steve were completely helpless against the endless swarm of insects.

The sheer number of the old bug's marking insects was terrifying, and as the battle continued, Zheng Zha and Steve were starting to tire.

"Zheng Zha, watch out over there. That insect among these insects is probably the queen."

"I see, so... Captain, do you have a plan? Quickly use your super brains to think of a solution."

Zheng Zha, no longer caring about getting dirty, punched an insect to death and then asked.

We've lost Wei Ming?

It's ok!

Steve, lend me your brain!

Clearly, Zheng Zha is now somewhat corrupted by the Ape Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha quickly followed Steve's gaze to observe, but unfortunately, there was a group of Marked Insects guarding the area, likely due to the presence of the Queen.

After Zouken Matou left, this temporary queen insect controlled the nearby insects to rush over, and Zheng Zha rushed in that direction without hesitation.

However, before he could even take a few steps, the endless stream of imprinted insects made Zheng Zha feel a chill run down his spine.

If this continues, when his internal energy is completely depleted, it will be his death.

No, this is bad.

While Zheng Zha was engaged in a bloody battle, Kenneth, who was renovating a hotel on the other side, looked at the Command Seal on his wrist. Just a moment ago, a message was transmitted to his mind through the Command Seal.

"At this critical juncture, you're inviting me to a meeting? On the very first day of the Holy Grail War?"

Kenneth muttered to himself, when the figure wielding two guns, who seemed to have some skill, spoke up: "Could this be a trap?"

"Don't worry, even if it's a trap, I won't be afraid. I don't think they want to see the terrifying aspects of El-Melloi's magic."

Kenneth straightened his tie as he spoke, "Go, why wouldn't you go?"

Let me see for myself what kind of situation this invitation is on the first day of the Holy Grail War.

However, just as he was leaving the hotel, Kenneth was suddenly drawn to a commotion in the distance.

"Is there... a battle going on over there?"

Kenneth muttered something to himself, then decided to go over and see what was going on.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to see the quality of one's opponent.

Oops, Kavenka arrived home but crashed! Update: I'm adding more (I'm sure).

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1780: Wei Ming: I understand! My wisdom has told me the truth! (2-in-1)

"How can I fall here, carrying the captain's hopes? I, Zheng Zha, absolutely cannot lose!"

Steve, I will not let you down! Yang Qi, give me rhythm!

Zheng Zha felt that everything around him had slowed down at this moment, and it seemed that the restraints within his body had been broken at this moment.

Zheng Zha, struggle with all your might!

Steve's last words echoed in his mind. Just now, when he was in dire straits, Steve had fiercely thrown his shield.

At that moment, the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm, or rather the power of the Dragon Subduing Shield, was exceptionally dazzling, opening up a path for him directly to the Queen from the swarm of insects.

Zheng Zha couldn't even imagine how miserable the captain's fate must have been, given that he had lost the shield that carried his power and needed time to transform his body.

"To participate in the Holy Grail War with a magician of this caliber is simply a disgrace to me."

Upon seeing this, Kenneth couldn't help but shake his head. From their words, it wasn't hard to guess that the other party was one of the contestants' subordinates.

While this mansion may not be considered luxurious compared to the grand family behind the Clock Tower, it is still quite impressive by national standards.

Moreover, I sensed the aura of local magic from the mansion, which is probably from a native magic family of this land. In the Holy Grail War, I don't know if it's Tohsaka or Matou.

For a force of this caliber to reach their doorstep, a small local tribe is nothing to fear.

As for the existence of a magician who can send out such an outrageous magician who can only use some basic magic tricks, that's laughable and doesn't need to be paid any attention to at all.

The advantage is in my hands in this Holy Grail War!

At this moment, Kenneth seemed to have already seen his future of lifting the trophy, and Wei Ming naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Steve be devoured by the swarm of insects.

With the activation of the Kerr Devouring Technique, the swarm of insects that was being driven towards Steve by gravity became incredibly slow in the next instant. Realizing that it was his teammates who had made the move, Steve did not hesitate and quickly adjusted his body.

On the other side, Zheng Zha felt every part of his body warming up and healing. Even if he had only cultivated the ultimate Yang Qi in the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which was not even a beginner's level, it was enough to give the cultivator a recovery effect that could be described as a medical miracle.

Zheng Zha's flesh and blood were constantly being devoured by the swarm of insects. Although a single insect was not difficult for Zheng Zha to kill easily, the swarm of insects that could break through his protective internal strength was so numerous that there was no end in sight.

The flesh and blood that were devoured grew back alive in the next instant. This is one of the wonders that the Nine Yang Divine Skill can reveal even when it has only condensed internal energy.

However, the speed at which flesh and blood can regenerate cannot match the speed at which the swarm of insects devours them. Zouken Matou may not be considered a strong person in the Type-Moon world, but for a novice reincarnator like Zheng Zha, he is already an extraordinary trouble.

Zheng Zha has not yet evolved to the point where his internal energy is enough to vaporize these insects when they get close. If the battle continues to drag on, he may have no choice but to wait for Wei Ming and the others to come to his rescue.

In this desperate situation, the gene lock was unlocked, and the Nine Yang Divine Skill was activated at a frenzied pace. Zheng Zha accelerated dramatically and crashed directly into the position of the Insect Queen.

In the next instant, Zheng Zha unleashed a powerful punch, shattering the insect queen that Matou Zouken had casually designated using insect magic. At this moment, Wei Ming also stopped his plan to continue letting Zheng Zha run rampant.

With the Queen Insect dead, the surrounding insects are currently leaderless, and Zheng Zha has no suitable enemies to practice against.

"Now, it's time to get down to business."

Looking at the Matou residence, Wei Ming's confident words seemed to prove that he had already made preparations to deal with Matou Zouken.

Kenneth, who had just passed by, had already left and had no intention of watching the battle between the guy using rudimentary magic and the insect familiar.

However, Kenneth seemed unaware of one thing: a tail was quietly following him.

Anderson, who had achieved optical invisibility through martial arts, quietly observed the presence not far away. He only needed to wait patiently, and he was sure he would be able to discover what was wrong with this Holy Grail War.

Kenneth was the person he chose to track.

If we trace its existence, we might be able to find some useful clues.

"I have arrived, the organizers of the Holy Grail War..."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Kenneth showed no sign of panic.

This genius of the Clock Tower seemed to have already grasped the fruits of victory in this war.

Kenneth wasn't the only one who received the message conveyed in the Command Seal; most of the people from the original faction were included in the several organizations randomly selected by the Arbiter.

"come yet?"

Sensing this magic, which was quite remarkable in modern times, the Arbiter turned his gaze toward the church entrance.

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from the entrance of the church. The newcomer was none other than Kenneth, who had just survived the surprise attack on the Matou residence.

"Why did the organizers of the Holy Grail War invite me here?"

Gazing at the presence before him, Kenneth asked the question that had been bothering him.

"It is to confirm that you are a normal and legitimate participant in the Holy Grail War, and not some cheater."

Looking at the figure before him, the descending adjudicator spoke thus.

The church here has been completely corrupted by its own power, and the surrounding space has become an extension of the "law".

Everything here is practicing the laws it has created, and it is the true arbiter of this space, the sole creator of the rules of this space.

Those who dare to violate the law here will surely face the punishment of Shamash.

Looking at Kenneth before him, the adjudicator already had his answer in mind.

It's not the person in front of me.

The person before me has no suspicion of cheating in the Holy Grail War. My keen eyes are absolutely not wrong. The person before me is undoubtedly a normal participant.

"Cheating? Are there cheaters in this Holy Grail War?"

But it doesn't matter, I will eventually get that wish-granting machine and add it to my resume.

"At this level of magical ritual, representing the El-Melloi family and the Clock Tower's necromancy department, there is no possibility of failure for me."

Kenneth's words were filled with confidence, but neither Kenneth nor the adjudicator noticed that in the corner of the room, there was a pair of eyes, the eyes of... a reincarnator.

Of course, Anderson didn't actually remove his own eyes; rather, he obtained a small surveillance gadget from the main god—not the best, but not the worst either.

His instincts had just warned him that it was best not to set foot there, so he chose to use a device that looked somewhat like an eye to follow Kenneth and spy on the area.

However, the points that the reincarnator obtained in the last world can only be described as tragic. Under the "laws" of the adjudicator, the monitoring device was not very effective.

The messages that the monitoring device could transmit to him were intermittent and consisted of very limited sound.

As Anderson received the fragmented messages from the other end, his brows furrowed slightly.

Cheating?

Oh no, could it be referring to myself?

The advantage of foresight makes the reincarnators seem like cheaters in the Holy Grail War. Could it be that the Church already has someone with futuristic vision who has seen something?

The message from the other side was incomplete, but based on fragments and his own additions and guesses, Anderson managed to glimpse a corner of the truth.

Meanwhile, Kenneth's words also came from his own research.

Represents...the clock tower.

As it is used more and more, the effectiveness of the surveillance equipment I bought is gradually decreasing. From the words transmitted this time, I can only make out that the whole sentence should be something like "clock tower".

Hmm, is Kenneth introducing himself here?

At that moment, Anderson subconsciously thought that, just then, a new visitor to the Church of Sanctuary had arrived.

"What do you want with me, being who transmits messages through Command Seals?"

Gazing at the figure before her, Bronya, who had slightly altered her appearance, began to ask.

It is essential to conceal one's existence in this Holy Grail War.

"What's the matter? It's simple. The gray-haired girl who shouldn't have been involved in this war, I just want to do a little investigation."

At this moment, the adjudicator casually mentioned it, and Bronya was slightly taken aback. Recalling what she had heard when she arrived, she nodded in understanding.

"Judging from what that man said, could it be a background check? What kind of power does the check represent?"

Bronya said casually, while Anderson held his breath and tried his best to eavesdrop on Bronya's conversation.
