Main God Creation Rules

"It doesn't really matter."

After briefly ignoring this harmless issue, Lin Yi, having successfully completed the first step of the experiment, immediately instructed Eve to proceed with the second phase.

If the transfer is successful, then the power of the weapons will be tested. Otherwise, it would be a real tragedy if these weapons could not be used due to the different rules of the two worlds. Moreover, before the power of these "magical devices" can be determined, Lin Yi cannot perform magical modifications on the nuclear bomb in his hand. All of this requires a lot of accurate data as a foundation.

"Then, let's first select the targets for the experiment..."

Given the current situation in Fuyuki City, even if she just threw something down, it would be discovered by those familiars and heroic spirits whose noses are many times more sensitive than dogs. And leaving Fuyuki City is not allowed by Eve's status as a "heroic spirit." In that case, it would be simpler to find a place to blow it up openly than to conduct experiments in secret. Similarly, since it's going to be a blow-up anyway, wouldn't it be better to just throw these "magical devices," which took a lot of time to make, directly onto the heads of those "enemies" instead of wasting them in a desolate and remote corner?

Moreover, these "magical devices" are ultimately intended to deal with magicians and heroic spirits, so it would be ideal to collect data on this using these mass-produced items.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi no longer hesitated: "Even if we exclude the Einzbern family, they are still allies on the surface, and in critical moments, we can hide in the castle and let Saber take the hit."

Once it happens, it will happen again. Since the other party has already used the tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work, Lin Yi naturally doesn't feel ashamed at all.

Theoretically, finding Masters and Servants outside the three starter families should be the most sensible choice, since they have neither local power nor many informants, and even if they are provoked, they wouldn't risk chasing them all the way to Einzbern's castle. However...

—There are no leads on them.

Just as Lin Yi felt that the three starter families had too obvious local advantages in this land, those wild magicians almost always hid their tracks after summoning their Heroic Spirits, and Eve had no way of finding their hiding places with her current methods.

"In other words, there are only two choices."

Aside from the Einzbern family, the three founding families are the Tohsaka and Matou families.

"...Matou, I guess."

Lin Yi had already visited the Tohsaka family once, and although the information gathered was not very comprehensive, he had at least gained a preliminary understanding. So far, apart from learning from Irisviel that the Matou family's Heroic Spirit was a Berserker, he knew almost nothing about this local mage family. It was probably the most appropriate time to list them as a target for reconnaissance.

Relying on the flight ability gained through code conversion, Eve destroyed the traces of the Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle and followed the map that had been pre-loaded into the information hub to the Matou family mansion.

It must be said that although it's something that can't be openly revealed to ordinary people, no magician will end up in a bad situation, let alone a magic family where a large number of magicians gather. In this world, almost every magic family is equivalent to a huge conglomerate in World Zero. Moreover, because they possess unimaginable power, their status is much more stable than those conglomerates in World Zero that are still subject to political interference. Under such circumstances, it's easy to imagine how many ordinary people are exploited.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Lin Yi.

Twenty cone-shaped warheads, trailing crimson flames, traced distinct black and white trajectories against the pitch-black night sky, relentlessly crashing into the magic traps blocking the mansion's sky.

"boom------!!!"

The twenty standard high-explosive grenades "taken" from an arms depot in World Seven hit the defenses built on magic without a doubt. However, they did not produce the mysterious and eerie glow that belonged to any magic or magical system in this world, but rather a direct and simple destructive force.

If a spell with 10 units of effectiveness uses 7 units for beneficial auxiliary effects such as making the enemy undetectable, applying curses, or locking onto enemies, with only 3 units manifesting in destructive power—even exceeding its destructive potential against fragile humans—then a "magical device" modified based on modern technology represents a completely different extreme. Using the same 10-unit effectiveness "magical device" template, less than 0.5 units are used to add various auxiliary effects, while the actual destructive power is indirectly and directly converted into…

Beneath the towering flames, through Eve's perspective suspended in mid-air, capturing the raging wreckage below, Lin Yi, separated by a world, smiled: "Sometimes, brute force has its advantages."

The Mysteries of Magic: Chapter 175 The Magic Cannonball Experiment (Part 2)

Caster's position was confirmed when she used her "Noble Phantasm" to destroy all the magical defenses that the mansion had prepared for this Holy Grail War over sixty years.

Although he had witnessed the gap between human magicians and Heroic Spirits many times over the long years, Zouken Matou still found it hard to accept that everything he had painstakingly set up could be destroyed so easily. He could only comfort himself while trying to avoid further losses.

"Such a powerful Noble Phantasm can't be released continuously. How foolish! They didn't even consider Berserker's presence before releasing the Noble Phantasm. It seems that the quality of mages has been declining lately. Hehehe... Kariya, have Berserker deal with Caster immediately!"

Even though he was unwilling, considering the girl Matou Kariya who was still being cruelly treated in the basement, he still had to growl and order his Heroic Spirit to attack.

"This is what a Berserker-style Heroic Spirit is like?"

From Eve's perspective, she captured the black Heroic Spirit who made no attempt to conceal his presence. Unlike Rider and Archer, he clearly lacked the ability to move in the sky. All Eve, who firmly held air superiority, could do was continuously pull out and throw away the wreckage and debris around her.

"This reminds me of primitive battles..."

Amidst subtle comments, the second batch of "magical devices" was ready: "First, let's test the lethality of ordinary high-explosive shells on Heroic Spirits."

The second time, a total of thirty howitzers rained down from the sky. The flashes that erupted the moment they hit the ground almost illuminated the entire block surrounding the mansion. What followed was a deafening explosion and tremor, with a barely audible roar that Lin Yi almost missed.

After a while, the dust settled...

The Matou family's huge mansion was half-razed in the two rounds of bombing. The spreading impact blew the yard into pieces, and the heroic spirit in the center was even more desolate. If it weren't for his faint struggle to stand up, Lin Yi would have thought that he had already left the scene.

This is probably the biggest advantage of dealing with berserk Servants. They have the speed and reaction to easily dodge attacks, but they completely ignore that and choose to charge head-on instead.

It should be understood that even a heavy tank, as tough as steel, would not dare to face such a level of firepower, let alone a "heroic spirit." Even with the added bonus of legend and mystery, it cannot change the fact that he was once a human. And as long as he is human, he will inevitably be killed by this "weapon" that was specifically created to kill humans.

"Then, try armor-piercing rounds."

Considering that this "experimental material" might be more fragile than imagined, Lin Yi only had Eve "take out" twelve tank AP rounds this time. The troublesome thing was that the AP rounds could not be launched in the previous way. After all, grenades would automatically detonate, and even if the speed and kinetic energy were insufficient, the chemical energy could compensate for it. However, armor-piercing rounds were indeed kinetic energy weapons through and through, so the lack of a launch platform to provide initial velocity was a problem. In this regard, considering the current converted by the energy circuit on Eve's body, Lin Yi wrote a code that had no destructive power.

【magnetic field】

"code："

As she raised her arm, a cone-shaped metal bullet that had been hovering nearby was slowly drawn in and fixed to the front of her raised arm, with a ghostly blue electric current swirling around it.

"magnetic field"

----------segmentation----------

"Stand up, Berserker!"

Time and again he commanded his Heroic Spirits to fight, but his nearly depleted magical power was completely unable to change the reality that had appeared before him. Matou Kariya couldn't understand why Berserker's "Knights never die unarmed" hadn't worked; why his opponent had so many Noble Phantasms like Archer; why his opponent's magical power could sustain the release of Noble Phantasms for so long... But one thing he was quite clear about: if he didn't fight, he would die.

"By Command Spell I command you—berserker, stand up!"

A faint gnawing sound emanated from the withered body, and the little magic power that had been painstakingly converted was entirely transformed into the "fuel" that propelled the immobilized heroic spirit above to rise again.

“AAAAAAAr——————————”

"code："

With a blank expression, the girl bent her middle finger, touching it to her thumb.

"catapult"

The cone-shaped metal object that had been lodged in front of me instantly transformed into a streak of blue light. Just as my gaze was about to try and capture its trajectory, the most tangible feedback came from below.

"Clang————————————"

For human beings, it is unimaginable to capture the sight of a cannonball launched at 3800m/s. But it is different for a "Heroic Spirit". Almost at the moment when the cannonball is about to pierce through his body, the black Heroic Spirit, who has grasped his own Noble Phantasm, forcibly holds the blade in front of him. At this moment, he is no longer a beast driven by madness, but a knight who has experienced countless battles and has gained superb martial arts skills that ordinary people cannot possess.

In movies, we often see scenes where knights on the battlefield raise their weapons and cut down incoming arrows.

However, what the knight is trying to cut is not an arrow, but a solid tungsten steel cannonball weighing 20.14 kg with a Mohs hardness of 8.5.

"Click——"

In the slow, deliberate visual process, the marks of the blade slowly breaking apart along the center point are so glaring.

"collapse----------"

The scattered debris drifted with a faint magical glow. The heroic spirit, having lost its last resistance, faced the cannonball, which had lost most of its kinetic energy. Its body was pierced through and slammed heavily into the ground with a heavy thud.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the brief silence that followed the battlefield, only Lin Yi's gaze remained fixed on the broken, half-broken treasure.

"I thought it was stronger than diamond, but it turns out only things with magical properties can destroy it..."

In a flash, the second cannonball was already fixed at the center of the rotating magnetic field, aimed directly at the motionless black spirit below. This time, there was neither a desperate outburst nor a sudden intruder. With the release of the second code, the cannonball, fired at a speed of 3800m/s, tore through the air along its path and pierced through the black spirit's body covered by tattered black armor without any suspense. Unlike humans, it was not crushed into ugly pieces of flesh and scattered everywhere at the last moment, but instead turned into magical light and disappeared without a trace. Just as Lin Yi obtained the data he wanted and was about to leave to officially begin the "magical nuclear bomb" project, the ground around the point where the cannonball fell collapsed with a roar.

Magical Mysteries: Chapter 176 The Reincarnator: Matou Sakura

The stagnant, decaying air in the underground space began to come alive with the appearance of the "passage" at the top. Through the dim moonlight, one could see the crowded, constantly writhing insect pool below. Even Lin Yi, with his composure, couldn't help but feel a little nauseous, let alone the little girl in the center of the insect pool.

"Perhaps I should re-evaluate the standards for magicians in this world."

He muttered to himself, turning his gaze to the two people on the only area at the edge of the insect pool that hadn't been invaded by the insects... Well, maybe it should be just one person. Judging from the magical aura, the one who should be the Berserker Master had been completely devoured by the insects inside him. The last bit of flesh and blood had been digested and converted into food to generate magical energy. With the departure of the Berserker, it was no surprise that he had also met his own end.

In other words, this should be the first pair of Heroic Spirits and Mages to be eliminated in this Holy Grail War?

"If there is...?" Yi Erliu 3 people [Er 0O Qi IV scar] shifted his gaze to the short, gloomy old man on the other side of the corpse, and spoke from a distance of a world.

[You must be the current head of the Matou family, right?]

“...I am Matou Zouken. My Matou family has decided to give up this Holy Grail War. Aren’t you afraid of violating the rules of the Holy Grail War if you don’t leave?”

[Rules? That's strange... At least as far as I know, besides not being allowed to leave the Fuyuki City area, what other rules do we need to follow?]

Although he knew the "magician" behind Caster was speaking jokingly, their fundamentally different stances forced Zouken Matou to explain again: "We can't involve people unrelated to the Holy Grail War. Don't you even know this basic common sense before participating in this Holy Grail War? Mages these days are getting worse and worse—"

"laugh--"

The blazing white light tore through the darkness, focusing on the wall at the edge of the basement, leaving a crater more than twenty meters in diameter. The crimson molten material slowly dripped onto the frantically writhing worms below, accompanied by a strange burning smell and piercing screams that spread throughout the basement.

However, neither the attacker nor the "attacked" paid any attention; perhaps only the numb-looking girl in the center of the insect pool would be drawn to it...

I believe this will help the Matou family head see the current situation more clearly.

With a light laugh, Lin Yi, separated by a world's distance, formally made his request through Eve.

[Magic, sorcery, the Holy Grail—I want all records and knowledge related to the Matou family. In exchange, you will receive the same treatment as someone 'unrelated to the Holy Grail War' during the Holy Grail War.]

"..."

Feeling the burning and stinging sensation on one side of his face, even though he was furious inside, Zouken Matou dared not show it. The magician, who had long been hiding in the basement, controlling his body, soul, Matou family, and even the Holy Grail War, had almost forgotten how to fight enemies head-on. Even if he still had the vitality of his youth, what could he do against this inhuman Heroic Spirit?

He slowly loosened his grip on the scepter: "I'll have my men deliver it to you."

No, no, no, what I want isn't the future or anything like that, it's the present—

Following Lin Yi's will, the girl's fingertips flickered and leaped with a ghostly blue current, aiming directly at Matou Zouken's head amidst his livid face.

Do you understand?

----------segmentation----------

Incomprehensible.

Sakura Tohsaka's indifferent attitude towards all of this... Sakura Matou couldn't understand it at all.

Why was she being treated this way? Why did her parents abandon her? Why was she, who had always been the "bad guy" who always acted as the absolute ruler, forced to grovel before this beautiful older sister with long white hair? She couldn't understand any of it. So, as the insects, crowded together, scattered and fled due to the high temperature, she finally gained a moment of freedom. With the only curiosity she still possessed, befitting her age, she asked, "...Why did you do this?"

Following the barely perceptible faint sound, Lin Yi looked over and was speechless upon noticing that the questioner was just an insignificant little girl.

Why can't I do that?

"Grandpa is very bad... If you do something that makes Grandpa unhappy..."

Looking down with fear at the scurrying insects, Matou Sakura suddenly noticed something—

?〦⒉⑼淋吴g〨删〖爸I?（七）⑴山【Are they scary?】

Even though no one was named, Matou Sakura nodded immediately. To her, these insects crammed into the basement represented the ultimate horror; being thrown into them each time meant a long, agonizing ordeal. But now…

Even though they are so fragile.

"laugh--"

The blazing white, high-temperature ray swept across the insect pool, and with another sharp, exploding sound, the insects that had piled up together burned and melted in the high temperature, while many more scattered and fled, trying to avoid this ray that symbolized death and terror.

Just as you see them as terror, they see me as terror, and what makes this difference is power.

Regardless of right or wrong, good or evil—it is the essential power that represents everything once it is in control.

"……I also"

It was faint, but a flame still burned in his eyes: "Can I do it this way?"

What was her motivation for saying those words? Was she simply trying to eliminate the insects like Eve did, or did she intend to go a step further, to torture and kill the "grandfather" she spoke of, or perhaps something even deeper—

Of course, as long as you accept it.

Through the passage of the main gods, a small terminal slowly appeared in mid-air. At the same time, an echo with a slight noise appeared in Matou Sakura's mind.

Do you want to gain... true power?

Glancing back at the insect remains silently burning in the flames, Matou Sakura mustered all her courage to make this one and only decision of her own: "I'm willing!"

----------segmentation----------

"Father?"

The girl, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, finally spoke, her voice tinged with confusion and a hint of jealousy that she herself was unaware of: "This human has no use whatsoever."

Of course, not now.

Watching the small figure fleeing Fuyuki City in a disheveled state, driven by the first "main quest," Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

But the future is uncertain.

—Of course, this is on the premise that she can withstand the hostility and targeting of the entire world, as well as the impending disaster and survive.
