A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Chapter 1243

Although Yang Lei managed to revive him, the experience was unpleasant because Ryunosuke's soul had collapsed.

Fortunately, he managed to vent his anger to some extent, which eased his guilt somewhat.

Yang Lei had always known about Ryunosuke and Bluebeard's evil deeds, but he hadn't stopped them. So when he came to the factory and saw those horrific scenes, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

He could have prevented all of this from happening.

Fortunately, he could salvage the situation afterward. With a wave of his hand, he reversed time here, not only bringing the children back to life but also erasing their dark memories of that period.

The dozen or so children who had died tragically in the forest were also brought back to life. After all, they had also been there, so they existed in the reversed timeline.

Moreover, Yang Lei tortured Bluebeard and Ryunosuke from the past again, and only then did he feel much more relaxed and at ease.

Since Yang Lei changed the plot in the past, there should be a butterfly effect at this point in time.

However, because he also killed Ryunosuke and Bluebeard at this point in time, his immense power caused a turbulence in time, creating a small spacetime that resembled a parallel world.

However, in that time and space, there was only a concept of three seconds, and Yang Lei deliberately left it there.

So, what will happen in that time and space?

There was nothing else, just that Ryunosuke and Bluebeard were constantly tortured and killed.

. . . . . .

After dealing with Bluebeard and Ryunosuke, Yang Lei took each of the children to the nearest police station and asked the officers to help send them home.

The children don't have that memory, so there's no need to worry about them saying anything inappropriate.

As for whether the police will suspect Yang Lei...

Uh... don't forget that Yang Lei's Mangekyou Sharingan contains the power of Betatsunjin.

"It's time to go find Mr. Tokiomi Tohsaka."

After all, he was Lin's biological father, so Yang Lei still had some respect for him. Otherwise, he would not only have trouble explaining it to his wife, but it would also be an insult to himself, as if he had no manners.

However, it remains to be seen how long this respect can last.

Moreover, Yang Lei actually harbored murderous intent. After all, Matou Sakura had suffered too much pain and torment. Even when he came to this World War IV, he couldn't rescue Sakura from the very beginning. Instead, he made her endure another year of torment. It would be a lie to say that he didn't complain at all.

Sakura was sent to the Matou family a year before the Fourth Shinobi World War began, Kariya also began to suffer torture a year ago, while Yang Lei was summoned on the very first night of the war.

"I hope I can save you."

Upon arriving at the gate of the Tohsaka family's residence, Yang Lei couldn't help but sigh softly to himself.

(De Ma Zhao)

If he could, he wouldn't want Rin Tohsaka to become an orphan, even though he could help Kariya and Aoi get together, and Kariya would definitely become a good father to the two children.

After all, Tokiomi is Rin's biological father.

but.

"It's possible that we won't be able to reach an agreement?"

"Well, let's give it a try anyway."

Having come all this way, Yang Lei finally stepped through the gate of the Tohsaka family's house.

However, his arrival was unknown to anyone, because he opened the inner world, which not only failed to activate the Tohsaka family's defensive barrier, but even Gilgamesh could not detect his presence.

In the inner world, Yang Lei not only easily broke through the Tohsaka family's defensive barrier, but also passed through the walls of the Tohsaka family villa, entering without even opening the door.

Then, he found his target in the study upstairs, Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, there's something I'd like to confirm with you!"

0988 Q&A with Tokiomi Tosaka

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, there's something I'd like to confirm with you!"

In the study upstairs in the Tohsaka family home, Yang Lei appeared and placed a long sword on Tohsaka Tokiomi's shoulder, preventing him from making too much noise.

As for Yang Lei's aura, there's no need to worry. Although he's a berserker and doesn't have the ability to conceal his aura, because their strengths are on different levels, no one can detect his aura if he wants to.

This is similar to how Super Saiyan 3 Goku couldn't sense the aura of the God of Destruction; they were simply not on the same dimension.

Therefore, even if Gilgamesh is still in the Tohsaka family, he cannot sense Yang Lei's presence.

However, Jin Shanshan is Jin Shanshan. The moment Yang Lei appeared, he suddenly felt a strange sense of unease.

"Let's go for a walk."

Without a second thought, Jin Shanshan got up and left.

This guy doesn't care what his Master thinks, and as an archer, he has a high level of independent action ability, so he naturally does whatever he wants.

Moreover, Gilgamesh suddenly became interested in Tokiomi's apprentice, Kirei Kotomine, and was on his way to Tokiomi's residence, wanting to have a chat with him.

That's right, this guy is going to awaken Father Mapo's morbidly joyful nature.

There is no such thing as good or bad in terms of pleasure; after all, doing good deeds can also bring joy and happiness.

However, Yan Fengqili is inherently twisted. He doesn't feel anything no matter what he does, and he only feels pleasure when he does bad things.

Therefore, for him, pleasure is sin.

Chapter 1244

That's really weird.

However, this has nothing to do with Yang Lei.

Now that Gilgamesh had left, he could speak with Tokiomi with even more peace of mind.

It wasn't that Yang Lei was afraid Jin Shanshan would interrupt him, but rather that he had other plans to make and didn't want to ruin his carefully crafted scheme.

Let's look at Tokiomi Tohsaka next.

He was startled at first, but now he was much calmer. He realized that there was no murderous intent in Yang Lei's eyes, so it seemed that he was not there to kill him.

What do you want to ask?

Then Tokiomi asked, also curious as to why this guy, who should be a Heroic Spirit Servant, had any connection with him.

Tokiomi only knew that the summoned heroic spirits were legendary heroes, but he didn't know that there would be others who could become heroic spirits in the future.

So he wondered why Yang Lei would approach him, and why he seemed to have some troubling matter he needed to confirm with him.

Could it be that this unknown hero is connected to one of my ancestors?

Uh... Mr. Tokiomi, Mr. Yang Lei has no connection with your ancestors, but he has a deep bond with your daughters, and there are two of them, although they can be considered as one person.

Why did you send the cherry blossoms to the Matou family?

At this moment, Yang Lei raised his own question.

Actually, he didn't need to ask that question; he could have just searched through Tokiomi's memories himself.

However, what you think in your heart and what you say are not the same. No matter how wonderful your idea is, it will turn out to be a completely different story when it comes to actually doing it.

Otherwise, how could there be a saying like "ideas are rich, but reality is harsh"?

Of course, Yang Lei also secretly used Kotoamatsukami to prevent Tokiomi from lying, so there's no need to worry about misunderstandings.

"Sakura?"

Tokiomi was taken aback, not expecting Yang Lei to bring up the matter of cherry blossoms.

Upon further reflection, Tokiomi realized that Yang Lei didn't have any connection with the Tohsaka family; rather, Kariya had sent him.

So, Mr. Tokiomi, you've got a lot wrong.

"There's no way around that."

After a moment of surprise, Tokiomi began to speak eloquently: "Because both Rin and Sakura are too talented, both children are qualified to inherit the Tohsaka family."

"However, each magic family can only train one heir, otherwise, a struggle for the family fortune will inevitably occur, leading to the decline of the family."

At this point, Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't help but think of his distant relatives, namely Luvia's family.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's grandmother and Luvia's parents' grandmother were sisters, just like Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou were.

(PS: Some say it was Tokiomi's mother, but I think there was a sixty-year gap between the Third and Fourth Holy Grail Wars. Was Tokiomi sixty years old then? Or forty or fifty? Or did Tokiomi's mother give birth when she was in her forties?)

Then, when they came to participate in the Holy Grail War, one of them fell in love with the current head of the Tohsaka family, which caused the sisters to turn against each other, thwarting the Defert family's plan and causing great losses.

That is to say, the Tohsaka family and the Edfeld family both practice jewel magic, and it's possible that the grandmother's influence played a role, such as bringing the Edfeld family's magic circuits to the Tohsaka family.

Therefore, he wouldn't make that kind of mistake.

And most importantly.

“Especially the Matou family.”

At this point, Tokiomi's expression suddenly turned to relief, because: "They are currently in a period of decline, and they can't even find a successor to inherit the family's magic."

"And Zang Yan also promised me that he would raise Xiao Ying as the rightful successor."

"In this way, not only will the two sisters no longer have to worry about which family to inherit from or which to become mediocre, but they can also obtain the power of the Matou family without lifting a finger, and even the spot that should belong to the Matou family to participate in the Holy Grail War will belong to the Tohsaka family. Isn't this the best choice?"

Under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, Tokiomi Tohsaka spoke frankly and openly about his true thoughts when facing a stranger like Yang Lei.

"What a scumbag."

Yang Lei frowned. Although he knew that as a magician, this was the most correct choice, and could even be described as a godsend opportunity.

But whenever he thought about all of Xiaoying's experiences, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and disgusted.

"Scumbag?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka raised an eyebrow and countered, "So, if you were in my position, as a father, which child would you choose to abandon?"

"As I said, they are all so outstanding, but the Tohsaka family can only choose one of them to train as the next head of the family."

"As a father, which of them should I abandon?"

"Moreover, such rare talent is not all good. If one of them falls into mediocrity, it will inevitably attract the attention of the association. At that time, the child I abandoned may suffer even more painful torment, and it is not impossible that he will be soaked in formaldehyde and used as a research subject."

"Or do you think the Tohsaka family has the power to resist or reject the Association?"

Yang Lei was taken aback by Tokiomi Tohsaka's question.

"Oh? It seems that my father-in-law isn't so hopelessly damnable after all."

"Then, let me ask you one more question, Mr. Tokiomi. Do you really understand the Matou family's magic, their workshop, and even the treatment that Sakura receives?"

(PS: I originally wanted to write about the father-in-law's death, but if I were to be so one-sided, it would be very unfair. Besides, I don't actually like NTR, and Tokiomi really had no choice but to send Sakura away, and he only did so with a guarantee. It also included a father's love for his daughter...)

Chapter 1245

Of course, I wasn't on Tokiomi's side at first either, but now that Sakura has been redeemed and the Matou family has been destroyed, let's at least let everyone find happiness in this world...

All this is just to explain why I need to whitewash my father-in-law—yes, I mean, whitewash him...

0989 Tokiomi Tohsaka's Awakening

"Mr. Tokiomi."

Upon hearing some of the information, Yang Lei suddenly had a thought. He first sheathed his longsword and then asked again, "Do you really understand the Matou family's magic, their workshop, and even the treatment Sakura receives?"

"What's the meaning?"

Tokiomi suddenly had a bad feeling and couldn't help but frown as he pressed, "Do you know something? Or was Sakura not treated well in that family?"

"But it shouldn't be like this."

Before Yang Lei could give an answer, Tokiomi lowered his head and muttered to himself, "The Matou family no longer has a suitable successor. Logically speaking, they should treat Sakura like a little princess."

Ahem, the "little ancestor" thing was something I added...

Tokiomi's idea wasn't wrong. Logically speaking, if Matou Souen truly wanted to help the Matou family continue its lineage, he should treat Sakura well, even taking meticulous care of her.

But what is Matou Souen's obsession? It's the Holy Grail, not any family.

So it's easy to see why he would take care of Sakura just because she's supposedly the heir of the family.

Therefore, Tokiomi was somewhat reckless from the beginning, sending Sakura into the worm pit without knowing who Matou Souen was.

"What a naive idea."

Yang Lei couldn't help but sneer, reminding Tokiomi, "Perhaps you've forgotten about Matou Shinji's existence, or perhaps you don't understand what kind of guy Matou Dirty Ink is."

"Then let me analyze it for you. Even if Matou Ryouji doesn't have any other ulterior motives, I estimate that the most likely scenario is that he will take back the exceptionally talented Sakura as a child bride, and after the two of them grow up, he will have Matou Shinji repeatedly violate her, and then he will have a child who truly belongs to the Matou family. What do you think of this analysis?"
