Public executions started with King Adonai

Soon, Matou Sakura also called to ask Matou Kariya about the issue of Matou Zouken, and Matou Kariya told her what he knew.

This clears up my confusion.

However, new problems have also emerged.

If Zouken Matou really was a person from nearly a hundred years ago, why is he still in the image on the screen?

Could it be that the real world had completely different experiences because there were no extraordinary people before, and there is an extraordinary world line in the light screen image, so Zouken Matou, the guy who was fooled by the cult, is still alive, and even seems to be the controller of the Matou family.

-

At the same time, somewhere in North America, in a secret gathering place of the Church of the Mysterious Tongue, an old ghost, even older and more withered than he had shown on the screen, looked as if he was on his deathbed. He narrowed his eyes and said, "This...it really is me...So, in this erased worldline, I'm still a member of the Matou family..."

However, he has long since abandoned the name of Matou Zouken, and has been wandering the world for a long time in the name of his ancestor Machiri Zorgon, searching for a way to achieve immortality.

Now, he is active under the name of the demon god Barbatos. He is also one of the priests of the Church of Mysterious Whispers. He has obtained a way to prolong his life through the mysterious supreme power.

Well then, let me see what kind of existence I am in the image on the screen. I am really looking forward to it, hehe...

-

From the image on the screen, Matou Kariya could tell that he didn't want to face Matou Zouken, but he still looked him in the eye and asked, "I heard that the Matou family adopted the second daughter of the Tōsaka family."

Matou Zouken let out an unpleasant laugh: "Hahaha, you're quite flexible with information, Kariya."

Matou Kariya: "Are you willing to do this to preserve the magician genes of the Matou family?"

Matou Zouken sneered, "It would be fine if it was anyone else, but you're the one questioning me? Who do you think is responsible for our Matou family's current situation?"

"Kariya, if you had honestly inherited the position of family head and the secrets of the Matou family, the situation wouldn't be so embarrassing. It's all because of you..."

Matou Kariya impatiently interrupted the other party's blame-shifting behavior: "Stop talking nonsense, vampire. Or rather, do you still think I don't know what you've done to your family's bloodline? Everyone ultimately becomes a tool for you to prolong your life."

"Besides, you only want the Holy Grail so that you can become immortal yourself, right?"

These words contain a huge amount of information, proving that the Matou family has something darker than imagined. The old monster magician in front of him treats the people of the Matou family as tools to prolong their lives.

But no one knows how it continues. Wuliangta Jizi asked Su Yun, but Su Yun said that the information has not been unlocked yet, so they can only continue to learn more information through the light screen images.

On the screen, Matou Zouken let out a sinister laugh. He did not refute Matou Kariya's words, but slowly said, "The Holy Grail War, which occurs every 60 years, will come next year, but the Matou family has no pawns capable of participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War. You are barely capable, but your brother Tsuruno's level of magic power is inadequate to command Servants."

"Even if we give up this Holy Grail War, we still have a chance of winning the next one sixty years from now. Surely an excellent magician will be born from the womb of the Tōsaka family's daughter! As a vessel, the Tōsaka family's second daughter possesses considerable potential."

Hearing this, Matou Kariya's expression twitched, as if he was trying extremely hard to suppress his anger. He said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then as long as you can obtain the Holy Grail, you won't need Tōsaka Sakura, right?"

Matou Zouken: "So what are you going to do?"

Matou Kariya: "This is a deal, Zouken. I will bring the Holy Grail back to the Matou family during this Holy Grail War. In exchange, I will release Tousaka Sakura."

Matou Zouken chuckled coldly, "Don't be so foolish! A loser who has never practiced anything wants to become a Servant's Master in just one year?"

Matou Kariya: "Isn't this what you're good at? Use your signature insect-controlling technique to transform me so I can have the corresponding power within a year!"

Upon hearing this, Matou Zouken paused and looked at Matou Kariya in surprise.

Matou Kariya said indifferently: "Implant the Crest Worm in my body!"

Matou Zouken: "Kariya, do you want to die?"

Matou Kariya said indifferently that the responsibility of the Matou family should be inherited by the members of the Matou family, and no one else should be involved. The implication was that Matou Zouken should not attack Tousaka Sakura.

At this point, everyone has seen that this is how Matou Kariya protects the girl named Sakura, and it is obvious that Matou Zouken's magic is very dangerous and life-threatening. The insect-controlling technique and the claim that he implants crested bugs in his body all prove that Matou Zouken is a truly hateful villain who uses evil magic.

Matou Kariya was trying to save a little girl, but he didn't have the strength to fight Matou Zouken directly, so he chose to serve the devil.

Obviously, the horrible appearance that Matou Kariya became in the Holy Grail War just one year later was the work of Matou Zouken.

At this moment, countless people in the real world admired Matou Kariya. Although Matou Kariya was weak, he was definitely a real man with strong willpower and courage.

At the same time, countless people also wished Matou Kariya well, hoping that Matou Kariya could successfully rescue Tousaka Sakura.

Those who are familiar with Matou Kariya can't help but admire that he is indeed Matou Kariya and is a real man, no matter which world line he is in.

However, the so-called tragedy and darkness are the ruthless destruction of the beauty that people desire.

The next moment, Matou Zouken let out a mocking sneer and said, "Want to save that child? Unfortunately, Kariya, it seems a little too late now."

Matou Kariya's eyes widened instantly.

Then, the camera switched, and people saw a picture of hell that was even more terrifying than when Bluebeard killed the children.

Chapter 109 It’s All Tokiomi’s Fault

Bugs, bugs, and more bugs.

There were densely packed insects in a huge basement that looked like a sewer. The main theme was darkness and dampness. Inside, there were countless wriggling black and gray strange insects that looked like worms, with two tentacles in their stomachs and heads shaped like some indescribable organs. They were intertwined and drilling around frantically. The walls were also covered with these insects, leaving sticky and disgusting marks wherever they crawled.

Just one look at it makes one's scalp tingle, intensive phobia run rampant, and insect phobia roar.

For a normal person, this is an unbearable and disgusting scene.

However, this cannot be called a scroll of hell. What really makes this a scroll of hell is that in the middle of the insects, a little girl who is only four or five years old is lying in the swarm of insects. Her body has been completely submerged by the disgusting insects, leaving only her head outside, and the rest of her body is barely visible because of the crawling insects.

The bugs were crawling all over the little girl, and the little girl looked like she was dead, with lifeless eyes staring blankly at the sky, her hair disheveled, as if she was already dead.

The only proof that the child was still alive was that the insects crawling across his body seemed to cause him severe pain, causing his body to instinctively twitch and spasm.

This girl had appeared before. In Matou Kariya's nightmare, she was a girl named Sakura.

-

In the real world, people were stunned and could hardly express the shock and anger in their hearts. After just a brief silence, shouts of "What the hell", "Fuck you", "Shit", "Bastard" and so on were heard all over the world.

Unspeakable anger along with soaring blood pressure surged into the hearts of countless people, and many people's eyes even turned red at this moment.

Especially those who have daughters and are parents are deeply distressed and unable to control themselves.

-

"Sakura... unexpectedly..."

Covering her mouth, Tousaka Aoi couldn't control her tears from flowing.

Even though it was just a screen of light, and even though Sakura was not actually her daughter, even in the real world, she had watched her grow up. Now, seeing Sakura being treated like this at such a young age in another world line, she really couldn't control her emotions.

Tōsaka Tokiomi's face turned pale and he said nothing, but his eyes were filled with shock and anger as well as hatred, hatred towards Matou Zouken and hatred towards 'himself' who pushed Sakura into the fire pit.

If it wasn't for 'Tosaka Tokiomi' who sent Sakura to the Matou family, how could Sakura have encountered such a thing?

It's all Tokiomi's fault!

-

boom!

Toosaka Rin punched the table in front of her, breaking the top board of the wooden table directly, which scared Emiya Shirou.

But Shirou Emiya trembled, not daring to ask or speak, because Toosaka Rin, who said nothing, had a face as cold as frost, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire and as if she wanted to kill someone.

As expected of a muscular girl who has been practicing Bajiquan since childhood, she has mastered this punch for at least ten years, if not twenty years.

-

In Fuyuki City, Matou Kariya crushed the teacup in his hand with a snap. His palm was directly pierced by the broken cup and scarlet blood flowed out.

However, the pain of a broken palm could not compare to the pain and anger in my heart at this moment.

Sakura in another world line actually encountered such a thing.

Damn Zouken Matou!

and also……

Tokiomi, this is all your fault! Why did you send Sakura to the Matou household?

-

Sakura Matou stared blankly at the content in the bright image, her mouth half open, unable to say anything.

As if because of the relationship between herself and the little girl in the insect nest, a strong phantom limb pain surged into her heart and rushed straight to her forehead, making the originally lively girl turn pale. She subconsciously hugged her arms tightly, and the intense fear could no longer be suppressed.

At the same time, Shinji Matou overturned the table, scaring Sakura Matou, who wanted to call her "brother".

However, when she saw Shinji Matou's bloodshot eyes and his fists clenched so tightly that his nails pierced his palms, Matou Sakura immediately understood.

Although she was still terrified by the terrifying scene on the screen, Matou Sakura stepped forward and gently hugged her brother, saying, "Don't worry! Brother, I'm fine. I'm right here. I haven't encountered any misfortune. I'm very happy now, so it's okay."

The gentle voice of his younger sister called Shinji Matou back from his frenzy. The boy took a deep breath and loosened his clenched fists.

However, his eyes were fixed on the image on the screen, and his anger was self-evident.

If this Matou Zouken still exists, no matter if he is my ancestor or not, I will kill him!

Are magicians amazing?

He, the world's top hacker, Matou Shinji, has plenty of ways to make Matou Zouken know what "adults eat shit!" means.

-

At the North American branch of the Church of the Mysterious Whisper, 'Matou Zouken' was watching this scene with real interest. Although the insects were low-level as a mystery, they seemed to be completely controllable. In some senses, they were more useful than a mystery.

If I could reproduce the ability of Zouken Matou in the image on the light screen, I would become even more powerful.

"Hehehe~ This light screen image, the history of the world record, is not only disadvantageous to our mysterious forces. Many things in it can also be reproduced by the mysterious forces."

With such laughter, I wonder what this old monster, now called Barbatos, is thinking.

-

The story continued on the screen. Matou Zouken's voice sounded eerily joyful, and his words still made people's blood pressure soar further: "I cried really hard for the first three days, but from the fourth day on, there was no sound at all."

"I placed her in this insect den at dawn today, wanting to see how long she could hold out. She survived being ravaged by the insects for half a day without dying. This material from the Tohsaka family is truly valuable."

Matou Kariya couldn't stand it any longer, so he shouted "Sakura" and rushed down, trying to save the other person.

However, Matou Zouken only tapped his cane once, and Matou Kariya was unable to resist and stopped, standing there unable to move.

Matou Zouken's body echoed again, "Alright, what's your choice? This little girl has been completely ravaged by bugs, inside and out. She's only one step away from collapse. She's become nothing more than a tool I use to help the Matou family."

"Of course, if you still want to save her, I can consider letting you be a replacement."

Faced with this heart-piercing question, Matou Kariya once again showed his true manliness. He answered without hesitation: "Of course I will save her!"

Matou Zouken smiled happily: "Okay, but before you produce results, Sakura's 'education' will continue, and I will place my biggest bet on the next Holy Grail War."

“!!!” Matou Kariya: “Matou Zouken, you!”

Matou Zouken: "You have no room for bargaining, Kariya. Now I'm giving you a chance. So, perform well! If you can bring me the Holy Grail, then her 'education' will be limited to this year only - so, what is your choice, Kariya?"

Matou Kariya: “…”

Full of anger and unwillingness, as well as deep powerlessness, the powerlessness to resist the devil, and this humiliation and unwillingness is also a true portrayal of many people in the real world. At this moment, countless people hate Matou Zouken.

In the end, Matou Kariya and Matou Zouken made a one-year agreement, with the Holy Grail as the condition. If they could obtain the Holy Grail after one year, they would let Sakura go.

"For the year that followed, I spent most of my time in this wormhole..."

Matou Kariya's voice sounds in the form of narration, describing Matou Kariya's experiences in the next year.

Then, people heard Matou Kariya's screams and painful wails, and saw scenes of Matou Kariya suffering in the insect cave.

The image on the light screen was like a scroll of hell, showing a close-up of the insects drilling into Matou Kariya's body, and the terrifying scene of them drilling around in his body and transforming themselves.

Then, the scene where Sakura endured the insect transformation alone while Matou Kariya was suffering was played.

Although Sakura still looked lifeless and had no reaction at all, and there was no horrific close-up description of the body penetrating the body, but with Matou Kariya's situation in front of her, anyone could imagine that Sakura was suffering the same pain.

The scenes of hell constantly stimulated people's nerves and impacted people's three views. Many people could no longer bear it and could not bear to continue watching. Many people overreacted, vomited and cried, and they collapsed.

At the same time, it also brought people's anger towards Zouken Matou and fear of magicians - each magician behaved too abnormally, except for a few, the others did not have the values of normal people, and could easily do such cruel things. These magicians were really a bunch of lunatics!

In the end, the one-year transformation period was skipped in a flashback. Although the time was not long, it was enough to give many people nightmares tonight.

Then, a year later, Matou Kariya appeared, the one who participated in the Holy Grail War, and Sakura also appeared.

People were shocked to find that the little girl who originally had black hair had turned purple a year later.

However, his eyes were still lifeless, as if he was dead.

Facing this poor child, although Matou Kariya was also in great pain, he still smiled and made a promise with the other party, comforting her by saying that this nightmare story was about to end, and when he came back again, he would be able to take Sakura away from this terrible hell.

He still hasn't forgotten his original determination. Even though Sakura's heart has been closed due to long-term inhuman abuse, Matou Kariya still expresses his determination to Sakura, and after that he resolutely embarks on the path to seize the Holy Grail.

The memories end here, and the scene turns back to Matou Kariya limping but moving forward firmly in the dark park. At this moment, his image and his back appear so tall.
