Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

The opposition between good and evil, light and darkness has always been the theme of various myths. In Aztec mythology, this theme is represented by the smoking mirror Tezcatlipoca and the feathered serpent god Kukulkan.

Smoke Mirror is the embodiment of darkness in Aztec mythology, so he easily responded to Baihen's call, reached an agreement with Baihen, and came to Sakura as a servant.

'Impossible, absolutely impossible! Tezcatlipoca is one of the supreme gods in any version of mythology. He is definitely a god-level existence like Odin and Zeus. It is impossible for him to appear in the world because of a mere Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail cannot bear such a great existence. This guy must be an imposter! '

Matou Zouken quickly overturned this outrageous idea in his mind. As one of the three people who originally participated in the creation of the Holy Grail system, he was very clear that the power of the Holy Grail had its limits. Even a god-level heroic spirit could not appear in the world with it, let alone a great god at the main god level.

"Sakura, you really summoned an incredible Servant." Although he had already labeled him a knockoff and a fake in his mind, Matou knew that even a fake could not be impersonated by anyone, and this guy was most likely a top-level Servant.

bang——

The response to Matou Zouken did not come from Sakura or Smoke Mirror, but from the bullet shot from Smoke Mirror's hand. Although Matou Zouken had not expected such a scene to happen and had no time to react, the bullet still avoided his body from a distance.

After firing a few shots in a row to empty the magazine, Smoke Mirror threw the gun aside.

"Really? I can't hit him even though I'm so close? I obviously like 21st century firearms, but the more I pour my feelings into them, the colder I get. Maybe it's just my characteristic." The first shot missed, so naturally the next few shots couldn't hit Zouken Matou who had reacted. Smoke Mirror said with some regret.

"You guy, are you too presumptuous?" Matou Zouken looked at the smoke mirror angrily, but he was more convinced of his own thoughts in his heart. After all, how could the weapon of the main god be a modern firearm that can't even hit people?

"Are you the god who came to save me?" Sakura raised her head, looked at the smoke mirror with hopeful eyes, and asked expectantly.

"Rescue? That kind of thing has nothing to do with me. I don't respect the Master, nor do I treat you specially. You are just a part of my deal." Smoke Mirror said indifferently in the face of Sakura's expectation.

He is only in the world because of the deal with Bai Hen. He is in the world just to pursue pleasure. Although saving this little girl is also a part of the deal, Smoke Mirror will not give her special treatment because of this.

Ying's eyes dimmed after hearing what Smoke Mirror said, but the smart girl quickly figured out the new meaning from Smoke Mirror's words.

"Deal? Who asked you to save me? Can I see Him?" Sakura asked anxiously.

"Don't ask me such obvious things. Whether you can meet him or not has nothing to do with me, but I think you should be able to meet him." Although it was for a deal, Yanwujing was disappointed that neither of the two people he met after appearing in this world had the will to fight.

"Asshole, you are just a fake servant, how dare you ignore me?!" Zouken Matou, who was left out, was furious. Swarms of disgusting bugs emerged from under his clothes and attacked Smoke Mirror and Sakura.

"No way, it seems like you won't learn your lesson after dying once! Well, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Tezcatlipoca. I have different looks, but I'm the black one. I don't think I need to explain that, right? Life is short, so I'll just wait patiently for the moment you die."

Facing the attacking swarm of insects, Smoke Mirror's temperament changed in an instant. His temperament, which originally looked weird but still gentle, suddenly became solemn and murderous. The insects released by Matou Zouken were completely killed before they could fly in front of him.

Matou Zouken realized the seriousness of the problem. The strength of this Servant seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined. His insects died inexplicably without him even noticing the slightest fluctuation of magical power.

Should I say that it's fortunate that it was the current Sakura who summoned him? Maybe he hasn't been doing anything in this world for a while because of the lack of magic power. If that's the case, can I provide him with magic power as a trade so that he can help me fight in the Holy Grail War a year later?

"Although I don't know who you are, you came to this world as a Servant to realize your wish through the Holy Grail, right? This girl can't provide you with enough magic power now, so why don't you hand her over to me? I will transform her into a perfect magic replenishment tool, how about that?"

Matou Zouken suppressed his anger. Even though he was only an Assassin, with such powerful strength he already had great hope of winning the Holy Grail War. Judging from his attitude, he didn't seem like the kind of guy who would always be loyal to his Master. Matou Zouken felt that the probability of him agreeing was not small.

Matou Zouken, who was dreaming of immortality, was horrified to find that his body was burning. The dark flames had covered his body without him knowing when, and the Servant he was expecting was looking at him with cruel and indifferent eyes.

"My name is Tezcatlipoca, the embodiment of the black sun that illuminates everything." Tezcatlipoca made a ruthless declaration: "Filthy insects who look directly at the sun, are you ready to be burned?"

Realizing that he had really hit a wall, Zouken Matou quickly pulled his consciousness out of this body. After escaping from the basement, he used new insects to rebuild his body again, and looked in the direction of the smoke mirror with lingering fear.

"It's really scary. I clearly didn't feel any magic power, nor did I notice any of his actions, but the sense of danger he brought to me was unprecedented, and it hasn't even dissipated yet. Wait, why is the flame still on me?!"

Matou Zouken was horrified to find that the fire that should have disappeared with his old body was lingering on his body again like a cancer. The burning sensation from the depths of his soul immediately afterwards made him realize a terrible fact - that Servant was Tezcatlipoca himself!

"No!" In the desperate wails, Matou Zouken, a man formerly known as Machiri Zorgen, came to Fuyuki to build the Holy Grail in order to achieve the lofty ideal of eradicating all evil in the world, but forgot his original intention over the long years, became greedy for life and afraid of death, and attempted to use the Holy Grail to seek eternal life. Today, he finally ended his sinful life.

"The first phase of our transaction has ended. I have nothing else to do so I'm going to go find some fun for myself." The transaction between Smoke Mirror and Bai Hen consisted of two phases.

The first stage of the deal was to protect Sakura, and the second stage of the deal was to win the Holy Grail War a year later and make a wish for the White Scar to be born into the world.

The Type-Moon world's world will is famous for its strong supervision over the world. It is not impossible for Bai Hen to force his way in, but the result will most likely make both sides uncomfortable.

The preparations that Bai Hen is making now are equivalent to foreplay. During this period of time, he will let Type-Moon gradually get used to his existence, and then he will suddenly enter after a year to complete the general attack.

Bai Hen didn't know what the Type-Moon World would think if he took it slow like this, but he didn't care. His entry experience would be smooth anyway, and at most he would just feel a little oppressive because of some resistance from the Type-Moon World.

However, considering that the world will of the Type-Moon world will most likely not allow him to act recklessly in its world, Baihen also needs a strong helper, and the Smoke Mirror is the best choice.

"Our deal has just begun, right? Even a fellow like you shouldn't think that a human cub can survive on its own, right?"

Although Baihen has become quite self-centered, as he is of human origin he still retains a considerable amount of humanity. Normally, this part of humanity would slowly dissipate with the passage of time, but Baihen does not want to become like that. Kikyo has now become an important anchor for Baihen to maintain his humanity.

For a god like Tezcatlipoca, who has been at the pinnacle of mythology since his birth, humanity is completely redundant to him.

Moody, cruel and callous are just labels that humans attach to it based on their own impressions.

Tezcatlipoca himself is the representative of chaos. He only carries out his own will and acts according to his own preferences, nothing more.

Therefore, Bai Hen tried his best not to let Smoke Mirror run around, lest he accidentally die and then he would have to choose a helper again.

"Do you want me to take care of your child for a year?" Smoke Mirror raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily.

"This is also part of the deal, isn't it?" As a god who loves trading, one of the main characteristics of Smoke Mirror is the spirit of contract. He will never go back on his word once he has promised.

"Tsk, then there's nothing we can do." Smoke Mirror actually knew that there was a lot of room for maneuver in the first phase of the transaction, and he didn't need to take care of the child himself, but since Party A had made such a clear request, he still agreed.

"Are you talking to the person who saved me?" Ying asked cautiously, looking at the smoke mirror, which looked like the conversation was over.

"Kid, you must accept my, Tezcatlipoca's, trials with full respect in the coming year!" Anyway, that person didn't tell him how to raise the child, so Smoke Mirror naturally wanted to raise the child in his favorite way.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard!" Sakura responded seriously.

Bai Hen naturally knew what Yanwujing was thinking, and he also knew how difficult his trial was, but he didn't care.

As the deal is not concluded, the Smoke Mirror's trial must have limits, and he doesn't know whether Sakura can cross the white mark of the trial, but he hopes Sakura can do it.

Chapter 148 Kagura's Ambition

After resolving the problems with Sakura and Tezcatlipoca, Baihen took his will back into the Greater Holy Grail and began to further transform and infiltrate it.

The guess that Matou Zouzou made at the beginning was actually completely logical, because the spiritual foundation of a god-level servant should not be something that the Holy Grail could bear. Even if it could barely make it appear, it would soon collapse.

Therefore, the first thing Baihen did after bringing his will to the Holy Grail was to partially transform it so that Tezcatlipoca's spiritual base could be manifested.

However, at the beginning, Baihen actually wanted Tezcatlipoca to be born as a Berserker, but the resistance he encountered was unexpectedly great. In addition, the transformation of the Holy Grail was still in its infancy, so Baihen did not force it. In short, he just used it for the time being.

As for the black mud in the Holy Grail that was contaminated by all the evil in this world, where did it go?

Other inferior gods need sacrifices when they descend. Bai Hen is now considered a high-quality god, so we can't ask him to pay for his travel expenses out of his own pocket, right?

The black mud containing all the evil in this world was consumed as the price of Baihen's coming, and the power in the Holy Grail unknowingly returned to its original form. Then Baihen used his own power to pollute the Holy Grail more thoroughly, and used the Holy Grail as a base point to start frantically testing and provoking Type-Moon Time.

The concept of "all the evil in this world" is ultimately too narrow compared to Bai Hen. For Bai Hen, who is completely superior to him, to control and use it is as easy as Kun Kun playing basketball.

As the representative of evil and darkness in Aztec mythology, Tezcatlipoca agreed to the deal with White Scar and appeared so obedient because he sensed a trace of White Scar's essence.

Otherwise, even Tezcatlipoca the Blue, who theoretically has the best temper, would not be so easy to talk to.

"How is it?" Feeling the change in Bai Hen's aura, Kikyo took off her apron and sat next to Bai Hen and asked.

"Is there any need to ask? Since I did it myself, of course it's a perfect solution." Bai Hen looked at the apron that Kikyo took off, and thought about letting Kikyo wear only the apron to try it one day.

"Aren't your hands on me?" Kikyo grabbed Baihen's moving hands and said with a blushing face.

"After all, compared to the things over there, you are more worthy of my personal attention." Kikyo symbolically grabbed Bai Hen's hand without using any force, and Bai Hen continued to do what he was supposed to do.

"Come to think of it, Eri hasn't gotten up yet? Normally she would have come to play games with you or me at this time." Kikyo felt Baihen's warm hands running around on her body. Suddenly she realized that something seemed to be missing.

"Maybe she's too tired. After all, she hasn't slept for two days and two nights." The culprit who gave Eri hypnotic suggestions also looked worried.

"What is it made of? It smells so good." Bai Hen asked comfortably while feeling the softness and smoothness in his hands and smelling the sweet scent of Platycodon.

"It's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." Kikyo said proudly. Her cooking skills have become more and more sophisticated now. Except for some less popular dishes, she has mastered almost all kinds of cuisine.

After playing for a while, Bai Hen lay quietly on the sofa holding Kikyo, enjoying the comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. This is also what Bai Hen and Kikyo do most often when they are together.

"Ah, my dish is almost ready!" Kikyo got up from Baihen's arms, put on an apron and ran to the kitchen again.

Boom--boom--

"Lord Baihen, Sister Kikyo, can I come in?" Eiry, who had been relieved of the hint by Baihen, also knocked on the door at this time. After getting Baihen's consent, she walked in with Kanna.

That's right, Kanwu, who had always been inseparable from Baihen, was also sent by Baihen to Eiry to play games with her. This gave him a rare opportunity to act wild with Kikyo during the day.

Otherwise, under the watchful eyes of two people, one who is childish at heart and the other in appearance, Bai Hen would not be able to do something disharmonious that would teach the children bad lessons. To be more precise, Kikyo would feel embarrassed.

"Wow, it smells so good! Is Sister Kikyo in the kitchen? I'll go help too!" Eri smelled the faint fragrance coming from the kitchen as soon as she entered the house. Although the kitchen was well enclosed, it was obvious that it was designed more for ordinary people.

"Kanna, what are your plans for the future?" Although to people who are not familiar with Kanwu, she is like nothingness from beginning to end, and they can't feel anything from Kanwu.

But in Bai Hen's eyes, Shen Wu's emotional fluctuations have become increasingly obvious. Although very subtle, the four most basic emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness have gradually begun to appear in her.

"That's good..." Shenwu tilted his head, as if thinking about why Baihen asked this.

"Is that so..." Bai Hen nodded.

"Lord Bai Hen, do you finally have a task to give me?" Kagura, who had not been seen for a long time, finally came back online, walked into the house and respectfully saluted Bai Hen.

After this period of vacation and flower arranging practice, Kagura can now face Baihen without any scruples and is no longer troubled by what happened in the past. It is worth mentioning that Kagura is still wearing her favorite gorgeous kimono and has no intention of changing into modern clothes.

"I need you to help me take care of a child." Tezcatlipoca is a supreme god with many priesthoods, but in Baihen's impression, he doesn't seem to have a priesthood related to life and cooking.

Although Sakura is indifferent to the trial that Tezcatlipoca is about to bring down on her, isn't it too much of a burden for a little girl to face the trial while taking care of an adult who seems completely unreliable?

While resting with Kikyo in his arms, Bai Hen suddenly thought of this problem. Given Tezcatlipoca's personality, it is very likely that he will let Sakura do all the housework, while he will bring down trials for Sakura while going out to find new fun. It sounds like a scumbag father.

So Bai Hen came up with the idea of letting Kagura go to the Type-Moon world first, so that she could take care of Sakura while keeping an eye on Tezcatlipoca and try not to let him cause any big trouble.

After all, Bai Hen's status over there is still a cup. Although there are many things he can do, there are even more things he cannot do. It would be much more convenient to have a spokesperson who completely belongs to him.

"Child? Could it be that Lady Kikyo is pregnant?" The first thing Kagura thought of when she heard about the child was that Kikyo was pregnant, but that was normal, after all, the frequency of their sexual intercourse was so high, and so many times...

"?" Lian Shenwu opened his eyes wide in a bit of uncertainty, and a subtle but obvious expression of surprise appeared in his originally lifeless pupils.

"Ah...it's too early." Although Bai Hen likes obedient children, asking Bai Hen to have a child himself would only mean that he is not mentally prepared enough.

"I answered a little girl's prayer in another world and saved her. That world will also be my next destination. Although I made some arrangements in that world, I decided that it would be better for someone I can trust to go there first."

Bai Hen also discovered a disadvantage of being too omnipotent, which is that he could solve almost everything by himself, and even most things could be accomplished just by thinking about it, and his efficiency was much faster than sending his subordinates to solve the problem.

Therefore, Kanna and Kagura were previously positioned more as mascots than subordinates, and Baihen didn't know what to let them do.

However, he was about to start dual-line operations, and the operations in the Type-Moon world would have limited impact on the real world in the short term. It was just the time when he needed people, so Bai Hen decided to send Kagura to the Type-Moon world.

"I understand. When do we set off?" Kagura said excitedly, feeling happy that she finally had a place to put her skills to use.

Although she did have a relaxing time during her vacation, she couldn't help feeling depressed when she thought that she was forced to take a vacation because she was useless.

Just like when you are in the company, you will feel great if you take the initiative to catch fish, but everyone else is busy and you are the only one excluded. At this time, you should consider what to do next.

"Don't worry, your strength is still too weak. Let me strengthen you again." When facing ordinary hybrids in this world, Kagura's strength still has an overwhelming advantage, but when facing the heroic spirits of the Type-Moon world, Kagura is still far behind.

"Thank you, Lord Baihen." Kagura was even happier when she heard that employee benefits would be distributed in advance.

Living freely is Kagura's greatest pursuit, and it has not changed until now, but Kagura's definition of freedom has changed.

When she was under Naraku's command, Kagura had to do things for Naraku in exchange for her own life because her heart was in his hands. At that time, the freedom in her heart was that she could do whatever she wanted without being restricted by others.

But after becoming Bai Hen's subordinate by chance, Kagura found that she was still free. Although she was Bai Hen's subordinate in name, Bai Hen basically would not let her do anything.

After observing Baihen's lifestyle up close, Kagura had a new understanding of freedom: freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about not doing what you don't want to do.

And the most important factor among them is power!

Only a powerful force can support the freedom she longs for. A big part of the reason why she followed Shenwu and became Baihen's subordinate was that she also wanted to become stronger!

Surpass Naraku, surpass the great monsters, and even surpass Baihen one day!

Chapter 149 Wind and Nothingness

Of course, Kagura knew that the last item was just his own delusion, but the goal had to be set higher so as to better stimulate people's potential!

"I'll go too." Shen Wu, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly spoke up in a firm tone.

"No problem, come with me." Bai Hen gladly accepted Shenwu's rare request, and although Shenwu looked young, she was actually much more stable than Kagura. Bai Hen would naturally feel more at ease with her going with him.

Baihen opened the gate to the Kingdom of Black Shadows and entered with Kanna and Kagura, and came to the Nibelungen that was eroded by black shadows and where he planted the Tree of Time in this world.

It is actually very simple to enhance Kagura's strength. After all, Howling Wind, one of the eight demons, is the wind demon, and Odin, who died not long ago, is also the king of sky and wind.

Although Bai Hen rarely uses wind, it does not mean that Bai Hen's mastery of wind is poor. It's just that these basic abilities based on matter or energy are no longer necessary for Bai Hen to use most of the time.

Time is supreme, space is king; fate is unpredictable, cause and effect are king; creation is unparalleled, reincarnation is infinite; the five elements are the main ones, yin and yang are above; destruction is not obvious, force is supreme, force is the sum of the three thousand great ways, not just strength.

Although it sounds corny, it actually makes a lot of sense.

The power that Bai Hen uses most often and most easily now is the power of fire that he had originally taken from the Holy Lord. However, pure fire has long lost its meaning. No matter how high the temperature is, it can only hurt him on a physical level.

For Bai Hen, being injured on the physical level is equivalent to being uninjured, and the same goes for the enemies that Bai Hen may encounter in the future.

If you want elements like fire, lightning, and wind to pose a threat to enemies you encounter in the future, adding "ingredients" is essential.

The flames that burn the world, the lightning that splits space, the hurricane that tears time apart, these are not things that can be easily achieved by simply piling up the quantity. It is necessary to add variables that are sufficient to cause qualitative changes.
