However, judging from Mandeki's attire, Matou Zouken understood that Mandeki was probably not Japanese.
Because Wan Di has a bunch of inherent skills that he himself is too lazy to even look at, including one called Disguise, Matou Zouken did not realize that Wan Di's current identity should be that of a Servant.
"Memory? You old worm that's practically rotting away, can your memory really be trusted?"
Wan Di crossed his arms, completely disregarding Matou Zouken, and instead revealed a cold smile: "Machiri Zolgen."
"I don't know who you're talking about!"
For some reason, upon hearing this name, Zouken Matou's emotions suddenly became agitated.
"Don't you know? How pathetic."
Wan Di shook his head regretfully.
The magician Machiri Zorgen is a remarkable figure, but Zouken Matou is nothing more than a useless piece of trash.
Even though its soul had long since decayed, it still clung to life, even going so far as to transform itself into an insect in order to survive.
"No matter what, once you leave the Matou family, I can pretend that today's events never happened. You have no right to interfere in the Matou family's private affairs!"
Zouken Matou's eyes were sinister. He wanted to keep Wan'e here, but whenever he was about to make a move, the oppressive aura emanating from Wan'e always forced him to stop.
Even though he didn't know how strong Wan'e was, Zouken Matou had a feeling that if he made a move... he would die!
No, absolutely not! Although his memories have decayed, Zouken Matou remembers very clearly that he still has a very important thing to do!
Until I achieve that goal... hehe, I must survive!
"Yes, that's true in theory."
Wan Di nodded in agreement.
After saying that, Wan Di clearly felt the little girl who was clinging tightly to his leg behind him, treating him as her lifeline, tremble.
Clearly, she was genuinely afraid that Wan Di would abandon her.
"In that case, let's leave."
Zouken Matou urged him urgently.
But in the next moment, he saw Wan Di gently take Sakura's small hand, and then Matou Zouken's eyes widened.
Three bright red Command Seals slowly appeared on the back of Sakura's hand. At the same time, a strange connection began to form between Wan'e and Sakura.
"That's impossible! (The last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)"
Zouken Matou was completely unsettled.
Command Seals wouldn't appear on a child like Sakura who hasn't become a magician yet, so... there's only one possibility for Sakura to have Command Seals!
That means a Heroic Spirit has acknowledged the other party.
However, even the most powerful Heroic Spirits cannot designate one person to be the Master of the Holy Grail War!
Furthermore, shouldn't Heroic Spirits usually reside in the Throne of Heroes? If the man in front of me is a Heroic Spirit, then the power he possesses is easily explained.
Ordinary magicians can never defeat Heroic Spirits, but Heroic Spirits cannot move freely. Although they have lost the concept of time and death, they have also lost their freedom.
But Wan Di... he appeared freely in reality...
In Zouken Matou's limited memory, he did not recall any Heroic Spirit capable of doing this.
Legend has it that only Grand-rank Servants and a very few top-tier Servants possess this kind of power, but would such an existence really appear in the world because of a little girl?
Well, generally speaking, of course not. After all, Grand Servants aren't omniscient or omnipotent. Although if they knew about Sakura's situation, Wan Di would definitely think that several Grand Servants or Grand Servants would want to come out and make a fuss, but they don't know about this, do they?
As for the claim of having ten thousand enemies, it can only be said that it was all a coincidence.
Although Wan Di knew what world he had entered during his previous missions, he didn't understand the concept of timelines.
So after getting bored, he went out on his own.
As luck would have it, he ended up in the insect hive.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Since we're already here, taking down the old bug is just a piece of cake.
"Looks like your luck isn't so good, old man. I really didn't have a reason before, but... now... for my Master, can I ask you to die? Or, I'll give you a chance to do it yourself. How about it? I'm still a kind person."
Wan Di looked at the old insect in front of him and couldn't help but show a kind smile.
"What a joke... Why, why did the Command Seals appear at this time! Sakura, you are a child of the Matou family, quickly use your Command Seals to control this man. The head of the Tohsaka family also said that you should listen to me from now on, right? Sakura, you are a good child."
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Zouken Matou's forehead.
He hadn't felt this way in many years.
"grandfather..."
Sakura looked at Zouken Matou, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
She was, after all, a good child, and after Zouken Matou said those words, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
“Sakura, as your grandfather, I would never push my granddaughter into the sea of insects. You don’t want that kind of future, do you? In that case, make your choice, Sakura. Just as the old man said, you are my Master, so you decide this matter.”
Wan Di glanced at Matou Zouken, which immediately startled him, causing him to take two steps back.
"I..."
Sakura looked at Zouken Matou in front of her, then at Mandei, and finally said, "Brother, please take me away. I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Since it's your request, then of course we'll comply."
Gently patting Sakura's fluffy head, Wan Di picked her up, placed her on his shoulder, and slowly walked towards the door.
Of course, with his tall stature and a little girl sitting on his shoulder, it wouldn't be easy for him to just walk out.
Seeing this, Wan Di took a deep breath, controlled his strength, and gently threw a punch forward.
boom!
The deafening roar echoed throughout the entire courtyard, and the originally narrow entrance was ripped open by Wan Di's single punch.
Seeing this, Wan Di nodded in satisfaction, then lightly jumped out and carried Sakura directly onto the street.
"Wait a moment, I will adopt you from now on. I have some things to say to your grandfather, oh, former grandfather."
Wan Di glanced at the dimly lit street beside him, snapped his fingers, and a figure appeared directly in the shadows.
While Wan Di can only summon his former warriors when he opens his inherent barrier, there are no such conditions if he only needs to summon a single being.
After all, his strength is simply too extraordinary in this world.
Let alone the modern world where mystery has faded, even in the age of gods where gods roam the earth, he could single-handedly spin a top belonging to a pantheon.
"Don't run around."
"I see..."
Seeing Sakura standing obediently in place, her little hands tightly gripping her dress, Wan Di nodded to her and walked directly into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, the loud explosion had woken up Matou Jinji and his father, Matou Tsuruno, who were inside the room.
At this moment, the father and son were standing in the courtyard, looking down at the large pit, but neither of them dared to go in.
A moment later, Zouken Matou, covered in dust and dirt, emerged from inside with a gloomy expression.
"Father..."
Matou Tsuruno looked at Matou Zouken with a hesitant expression, unsure of how to begin.
"It's nothing, let's just pretend nothing happened today."
Zouken Matou snorted coldly and then leaned on his cane, intending to return to his room.
The Matou family probably won't be able to participate in this Holy Grail War, but the most urgent task for Matou Zouken is to find out who that powerful Heroic Spirit who suddenly appeared is!
"Nothing happens? That won't do, old man."
Wan Di's voice slowly rang out, and in an instant, all three of them were startled, none of them realizing when Wan Di had arrived.
"Didn't you leave? What, are you disobeying your Master?"
Zouken Matou frowned as he looked at Man's enemy.
"Yes, I was just following my Master's orders. But no one said I couldn't come back after I left, right?"
Wan Di said slowly.
"You're going back on your word!"
Zouken Matou's heart pounded; he had a bad feeling.
"Going back on your word? What's that? There's no such thing in the dictionary of Suspended Peak City. If it's not recorded, it doesn't exist!"
Wan Di grinned, then slowly walked towards Matou Zouken.
Seeing this, Zouken Matou picked up his cane. At the same time, the hissing and rubbing sounds from the pit below became more intense, and even Shinji Matou and the others above could hear them.
However, Wan Di didn't even raise his eyelids in the face of this situation. He simply reached out and gently extended his hand toward the cellar next to him. In just an instant, red crystals appeared in the air. Then, as if frost had been formed, red crystals gradually began to appear throughout the courtyard.
Then, the red crystals slowly sealed the cellar. Through the crystals, Shinji Matou and Tsuruno Matou could see the swarming insects behind them. Then, they watched helplessly as the insects turned into part of the crystals and remained there forever.
Like blood-red amber.
Seeing this, Zouken Matou still tried to run away.
"Trying to run? You can't escape."
Wan Di spoke calmly, and then, red crystals appeared on his arm. With a wave of his hand, these crystals rushed wildly towards Matou Zouken along the ground.
Seeing this, Zouken Matou brandished his cane, trying to unleash magic to resist. However, the blood-red crystal of Wan Di was like solid ice that froze everything, and even magic would be completely sealed inside.
Finally, Wan Di's vigilance reached Matou Zouken's ankle. He struggled frantically, but could not slow down the process of being sealed by the crystal.
"Save me! You can't kill me! I still have things to finish! I can't die before that! I have to live!"
Zouken Matou displayed an extremely strong will to survive, but it was of no use against Wan Di's overwhelming strength.
In just a moment, Zouken Matou was sealed inside the crystal.
"Don't think you can escape. The power of strife will stick to your soul until it truly obliterates you."
Wan Di sneered. The old bug had lived for so many years, and aside from everything else, its ability to survive was definitely strong. Wan Di also knew that this one move was not enough to defeat the opponent.
However, it doesn't matter. The power of the conflict has already locked onto the opponent. This attack is aimed at the individual Zouken Matou, not this withered body.
