Finn's refusal to help is understandable; after all, he was the one who wronged Finn first. They agreed to forgive each other, so why does he feel that Finn still hasn't let go?
As the aura completely disappeared, the mad Lancelot finally regained his composure.
Finn drew his spear, turned his back, and threw it in one direction: "Are you sure this will work?"
Bang! The spear exploded in mid-air like smoke, transforming into a katana that shimmered with silver light and was filled with an eerie glow.
He casually accepted the item, which was called "Mirror Flower, Water Moon."
Aizen, emerging from the corner, smiled slightly as he looked at his Zanpakuto.
"You will have the opportunity to witness the true power of the illusory, Finn's Cloth."
I hope it's as you say.
Finn, who could vaguely sense the illusion of life and the fluctuations in his life force, did not deny it. On the contrary, he became somewhat curious about Aizen. Such a magical artifact, comparable to a Noble Phantasm, was indeed extraordinary.
Aizen smiled slightly and ordered, "Let's go. Tonight, we'll eliminate a potential threat to our allies."
The combination of transformation magic and illusion is indeed effective.
Aizen, who had turned his back, smiled even more broadly.
Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading
Chapter 466 Boil, My Blood! 3/3
Their conversation didn't shy away from Matou Kariya, and in fact, Matou Kariya didn't seem to care about their discussion.
This poor man now only wants to rescue Sakura from the clutches of evil. He no longer cares about who wins or loses the Holy Grail War, as long as Tokiomi Tohsaka doesn't achieve final victory, he can accept it.
"Hanzo, go and follow the trail to kill your Master."
"Remember to leave that guy a breath left; just let him bleed to death."
"Then you just need to bring him back to me, and don't give him a chance to use his Noble Phantasm."
After issuing three orders in quick succession, Hattori Hanzo instantly revealed his original form.
Looking at this unforgettable classic outfit, Matou Kariya's eyes widened slightly.
Whoosh! This man, known as Oni Hanzo, vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye, carried away by a gust of wind.
Kariya looked intently at Aizen: "I thought he was just a magician who could fake magic, but I never expected him to be that legend."
"You really are a terrifying man. With three Heroic Spirits at your disposal, you still want to gain my share of power. Now I believe you can help me."
You didn't believe it before.
Aizen smiled and countered with a question.
"I believe it, but I only believe in a 30-40% success rate, 34%."
Tong Yanye's words in section 647 were utterly merciless.
No matter how much Aizen touted the abilities of Kenneth's body, and no matter how much stronger Kenneth was than Zouken Matou, Kenneth was not a magician specializing in insect magic.
Kenneth's undeniably impressive magic skills gave him a glimmer of hope, and after careful analysis, he more rationally understood how difficult it would be to win on his own, which led him to choose to cooperate.
One has a 30-40% success rate, while the other has a minuscule chance of less than 10%.
Anyone would know what to choose.
After Aizen's series of unexpected performances, Matou Kariya's confidence increased significantly. A man who is so confident and arrogant yet cautious would not speak carelessly.
"You're really showing no mercy, Mr. Rookie, whose life is nearing its end."
Aizen made a casual, sarcastic remark.
Whether Matou Kariya trusted him or not was completely irrelevant to him.
If he saved Sakura while he was still alive, then this man's life would be complete. To even think about asking Zenjou Aoi for something like that is simply impossible.
He doesn't have long to live. As long as he hasn't lost his mind, he won't have such delusions. Although such a person is pitiful, Aizen won't help him. In fact, Kenneth's magical reserves are not enough to replenish his life force.
Replenishing vitality does not equate to extending lifespan, because the soul also decays and perishes.
If he could replenish his vitality, Kenneth could live for at least several hundred years, but he didn't live that long.
The old insect lived for hundreds of years by abandoning its physical body, rather than by focusing on vitality. The topic of vitality is clearly no longer magic but magic.
Can current human technology replenish life force? No! If it could, the average human lifespan would have exceeded five thousand years by now.
Perhaps Finn's Noble Phantasm could give Matou Kariya the vitality he should have at his age, but that would also change Kariya's mind and make him crave more. Aizen is not someone who can be simply categorized as good or evil, but he's not exactly a philanthropist either, is he?
Compared to that... collapse and destruction, the fact that Kariya could greet the end with a smile was one of Aizen's few acts of mercy towards him.
So far, it's clearly impossible for Aizen to have two scenarios that would satisfy everyone in this role-playing mission.
So, if we're fixed on seven groups of seven participants, the first storyline will undoubtedly be the Master's side.
Apart from Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kiritsugu Emiya, who were relatively difficult to deal with, the others were not difficult in his eyes.
Even Kiritsugu Emiya had already planted a seed, and Tokiomi Tohsaka was about to complete part of his plan. In his opinion, it wouldn't be difficult for the Master to have a perfect ending.
The second line of reasoning is the Heroic Spirit himself! It's obviously unreliable for the King of Conquerors to gain a physical body and conquer the world, but he himself was satisfied when he met his end, so there's no need to think about it too much.
As long as Diarmuid gets his fill, that's fine. As for Finn, he probably has a certain understanding of him now. Finn is a man who is somewhat similar to him in essence. If the Holy Grail War is interesting enough, it won't disappoint him.
Lancelot's problem can also be solved, and Marshal Gilles's problem is only a minor inconvenience.
The real headache is Hassan! The Hero King! The Saber King! Someone who wants to be remembered in history, not just for the name Hassan. This is basically impossible. Gilgamesh is an unpredictable guy, but the most troublesome thing is that he doesn't have a clear desire. Coupled with his unpredictable personality, it's hard to tell how satisfied he is. This guy can only take things one step at a time.
There's also the Saber, who wanted to restore his kingdom.
The goal is clear, but it's more difficult than the two above! It seems these problems can only be solved at the King's Banquet.
Before long, Aizen and his group arrived at the Matou residence.
After arranging for Hattori Hanzo and dispelling the barrier, Aizen did not have Diarmuid and Finn conceal their presence, so their movements were once again monitored by the various Masters.
For most Masters, it's not surprising that Masters explicitly mentioned by the King of Conquerors would form alliances and act together.
So apart from Tokiomi Tohsaka's familiars and some Hassans, no one paid much attention to them.
The reason Tokiomi Tohsaka was so concerned was that the shadow that had been lingering in his mind since yesterday had not yet dissipated, which made him subconsciously pay attention to people or things related to the Matou family.
"Yan Ye, you've even learned to team up now?"
A sinister sound came from inside the house.
Matou Kariya's face was gloomy, and he did not respond.
Leaning on his cane, Zouken Matou glanced at the three Servants and said displeasedly, "You've allied with the esteemed Kenneth-san without even informing this old man beforehand. What a rebellious son!"
"snort."
Yan Ye's expression was grim.
"You unfilial son, you dare to say that!" Aizen looked at the old insect with great interest, his attitude towards Kirei Kotomine and Kenneth was completely different.
Although Kirei Kotomine has the Church behind him, he himself does not have much power within the Church, while Kenneth is one of the twelve rulers of the Clock Tower.
Kirei Kotomine, with his enhancement magic and excellent Bajiquan, is not weak, but he is not taken seriously by the old man. On the other hand, Kenneth, who was defeated by Kiritsugu in the original work, was mainly due to carelessness. The strength of a Color Rank magician is still worth being wary of.
These are all very small factors.
Kenneth was arrogant because of his genius.
Kiritsugu was able to outmaneuver Kenneth, so the old man (George Firth) must have had the same confidence.
Once Kenneth dies, the El-Melloi family will immediately face a crisis of collapse, and no one will avenge him, so these concerns are only a small part.
The main reason lies with the Heroic Spirit! Kirei Kotomine has a Heroic Spirit, but his strength is mediocre.
Kenneth's heroic spirits are two: one can break through magic, and the other is an even more formidable being capable of slaying gods.
Even assuming the worst, given this lineup, the probability of Kenneth escaping unscathed in a conflict is extremely high.
"There's no need to be so polite, Mr. Zang Yan."
"After all, the basis of my cooperation with Kariya-san is..."
! "
Boil, my blood! The test tube flew from my palm, and the surging mercury exploded and rushed towards me.
Chapter 467 My heart felt like it was being squeezed 1/2
Crack! The moment the test tube shattered, a massive amount of silvery-white liquid suddenly erupted out.
Zouken Matou's expression changed. Sensing the murderous intent, he didn't have time to curse and could only quickly summon a dense swarm of insects.
Swish! Red Spear: Piercing through, the densely packed insects, enough to make one's scalp tingle, were instantly sliced into countless pieces by the spear gleaming with a cold light.
"Damn it, the Matou family is not a place where you can run wild!"
Seeing that he couldn't stop the Moon Spirit Elixir, Zouken Matou knew that things were beyond saving. After barely dodging it, he tore off the mask and rushed into the Matou residence.
Seeing this, Kariya Matou cried out anxiously, "Don't let him threaten Sakura!"
"rest assured."
Aizen's calm tone soothed Kariya's slightly agitated mind.
There's no doubt that the old bug was once a genius.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create the Command Seals system and join the starter families. But no matter what, he was just an ordinary genius, far inferior even to Kenneth in this body.
Kenneth squandered his talent, studying every type of magic and still managing to reach the Color rank at a young age—something the old Bug couldn't match.
The only thing he was better at than Kenneth was his experience and shrewdness, which came from living for hundreds of years.
Besides, he's utterly useless! When an ordinary genius loses even his beliefs and pride, he can only live to this extent, no matter how long he lives.
Even without the Servants he had with him and his own abilities, Aizen was confident that he could easily defeat Kenneth based solely on his skills.
".
"Automatic target acquisition"
The mercury that had smashed a crater in the ground instantly deformed on command, extending outwards like branching tree trunks.
Following the trail of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, the group chose to charge straight ahead.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line! All the walls and buildings that were blocking our way have been destroyed! Even Kariya Matou himself didn't feel bad about it, so how could Finn and Diarmuid have any objections?
Nonsense, no matter how much wealth the Matou family has, it won't go to Kariya. He won't live much longer anyway, so he doesn't need much money.
"Damn it, this Mystic Code is such a nuisance."
While constantly dodging and turning corners to avoid being tracked, Zouken Matou released insects to buy time while activating a hidden trap set up by the Matou family. His face was gloomy as he said, "How could Kenneth be allied with that piece of trash Kariya?"
"I shouldn't have let this piece of trash participate in this Holy Grail War in the first place. If there had been enough time, hmph, daring to trespass into my stronghold, even a Heroic Spirit would have been in deep trouble."
Over the years, Kirizo Ken has seen quite a few Heroic Spirits, but unfortunately, he had no idea what kind of incredible lineup of participants this time.
Soon, the effects of the Matou family's arrangement became apparent.
Various insects, including lewd insects and winged blade insects, emerged one after another from every corner of the Matou residence, surrounding Aizen and his group from all sides.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"
The night grew tense again.
"It's just inferior insect magic; no matter how many there are, it doesn't change its low-level nature."
Aizen looked disdainful, but his eyes were taking in the insects with interest.
Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have any special hobbies.
In reality, the old bug possesses quite a few types of bugs, including the lowest-level Mark Bug and several other different types.
Among them are poisonous insects and invisible insects that are even more threatening than winged blade insects. If an ordinary Heroic Spirit were to act recklessly in the Matou family, he might actually suffer a crushing defeat.
Even a Lancelot who has lost his mind has a very high chance of being tricked, which is probably why the old bug wanted to make him go even more frenzied.
Zouken Matou was probably also wary of his son taking advantage of forcibly rescuing Sakura.
"Just take care of yourself, leave the rest to me."
After observing for a while, Aizen offered a reassuring remark and then tried out Kenneth's magic, spreading his hand out: "That old man only has these underhanded tricks left. If we're going to fight by numbers, let's just drown him all at once."
Snapped.
With a snap of the fingers, the moisture in the air suddenly gathered rapidly.
The spiral-shaped water flow took shape in seconds and merged with the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, creating a massive torrent that surged in all directions.
