Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed in the group chat, shocked.

[Nami: !!! !!! ! ...

[Rin Tohsaka: !!! !!! !!! ]

[Kinomoto Sakura: !!! !!! ]

Reminded by Kanroji Mitsuri, the others in the group also realized what was happening and were all shocked.

After all, it hadn't been long since they last saw Chen Xuan, and now that they met again, Chen Xuan already possessed the power that only gods could have. Moreover, if they remembered correctly, according to the timeline of Chen Xuan's world, Chen Xuan had only attained transcendence a few days ago.

In other words, Chen Xuan gained divine power in just a few days. Is it really possible for a human to go from being human to being a god in just a few days?

[Chen Xuan: It's not that exaggerated. This is just something I learned incidentally during a battle when I killed a main god-level demon avatar a while ago. It's nothing special.]

Chen Xuan explained in the chat group.

[Rin Tohsaka: ? ? ? ? ? ]

[Nami: ? ? ? ? ]

[Ganluji Mili:? ? ? ? 】

[Kinomoto Sakura: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, everyone in the group was completely baffled.

Dude, what do you mean by "defeated a demon god's avatar at the level of a main god"? What do you mean by "learned it incidentally during battle"? Can you learn something like that incidentally during battle? And what the hell does "defeated a demon god's avatar at the level of a main god" even mean? Does that mean you were already able to defeat gods before you even had any power?

[Rin Tohsaka: Is this the world of the pros? I'm bowing down to them.]

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Is this the world of the pros? I'm bowing down to them.]

[Nami: Is this the world of the big shots? I'm bowing down to them.]

[Sakura Kinomoto: Is this the world of the masters? I'm bowing down to them.]

Chen Xuan's answer left everyone in the group speechless. They could only repeat what she said and immediately kneel down to offer her tea.

"It's actually power! Kid, you actually possess the power that the gods of the Age of Gods had."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan say that the black flames burning him were the power of authority, Matou Zouken panicked immediately.

After all, he was an old monster who had lived for over five hundred years and had heard of powers. Although he didn't know what the effects of the powers Chen Xuan was using were, there was no doubt that they were a force that he couldn't resist in his current state.

"After all, he's lived for many years, and his whole body has been modified to survive. He still has some knowledge."

"That's right, this flame is the power I replicated, and its original effect is very simple: it uses the negative emotions and desires of the attacked as fuel, and will never be extinguished until the attacked is completely burned away."

"However, I felt that the effect was too weak, so I made a slight improvement. The improved hellfire no longer simply burns the body of the attacked, but also burns the soul. Furthermore, the burned person will be forced to confront the things they least want to remember or face."

"This is precisely the best way to deal with someone like you who has lived too long and forgotten your original intentions."

Chen Xuan smiled brightly at the scorched Matou Zouken, but to Matou Zouken it was a devilish grin.

As the flames burned, Zouken Matou saw, in his agony, the original, pure self he had long forgotten—the self that had been dedicated to saving humanity and eradicating all evil in the world. He also saw the Winter Saintess, Ustissa Risley von Einzbern, a woman of perfect happiness who filled him with both envy and sorrow.

"No, don't look at me, don't look at me with those eyes, at me who has abandoned my ideals and is so ugly."

Scenes from hundreds of years ago flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, and the vows he had forgotten and the efforts he had made were like the sharpest knives stabbing into his heart.

What is most frightening and unacceptable is not death, but the re-encounter of one's former striving self after falling into depravity. After all, only the light that one once radiated can truly pierce the heart of the self now content to dwell in darkness.

"what!!!!"

Burned by the flames of hell, Zouken Matou finally died, dying from the scorching heat of the flames and from the regret he felt for his past betrayal.

Even though Matou Zouken was a noble magician who dedicated his life to saving the world hundreds of years ago, time and the fear of death have eroded everything. Even if he recalls his forgotten ideals again, the one standing here now is just a surviving Matou Zouken, not the Machirizogan who harbored the ideal of saving the world.

"Master Chen Xuan, is he dead?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the black ash on the ground, which had been burned by Zouken Matou, and asked Chen Xuan.

"This old man was in agony, he was as dead as could be."

Chen Xuan looked at the black ash on the ground and said without any emotional fluctuation.

"Teacher Chen Xuan is amazing."

Sakura Tohsaka's eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Xuan, who had defeated Zouken Matou, whom she dreaded so much, with a single move.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Hand-Formed Command Seals

"Hmm, the magic of the Matou, no, the Machiri family is quite interesting. It's much more sophisticated than Zouken Matou's insect magic."

In the Matou family's library, Chen Xuan was flipping through a book written in Russian with slightly yellowed paper that looked very old.

The book records the magic of the Matou Zouken family, also known as the Makiri Bear Family magic lineage. The magic characteristic of this lineage is absorption, and the unique magic of the Makiri family, which is paired with this special characteristic, is the type that takes away others from the root.

Furthermore, the book contains a very complete set of magic spells for binding and coercive control. Obviously, these spells are all auxiliary spells used in conjunction with the Machiri family's stealing magic.

"This kind of stealing magic might be able to achieve the effect I want when combined with that Noble Phantasm."

Chen Xuan stroked his chin in thought, but before he could delve deeper, he heard Sakura Tohsaka's voice.

"Teacher Chen Xuan, here is another magic book from the Matou family."

Sakura Tohsaka approached Chen Xuan carrying a book with a red cover.

"Thank you, Sakura."

Chen Xuan took the book from Sakura Tohsaka, patted her head, and smiled.

"No, no, you're welcome."

Sakura Tohsaka, transformed into a steam princess, blushed and said shyly after being patted on the head.

“Master Chen Xuan, I’ve found it, I’ve found it!”

Just as the two were talking, Rin Tohsaka excitedly ran in, carrying a book with a white cover bearing the crest of the Einzbern family, one of the three starter families.

"Master Chen Xuan, this is the information you are looking for regarding the Holy Grail system."

Rin Tohsaka handed the book to Chen Xuan as if presenting a treasure, her face saying, "Praise me!"

"Rin, you're really capable. This is exactly what I need."

After understanding Rin Tohsaka's meaning, Chen Xuan praised her and then took the book from Rin, quickly skimming through its contents.

"Well, combining the contents of this book, I've pretty much met the requirements."

Chen Xuan closed the book in her hand as she spoke.

“Master Chen Xuan, now that we have found the information we are looking for, shouldn’t we leave here and go somewhere else to study it in more depth?”

Rin Tohsaka looked at Chen Xuan and asked.

Although the Matou family and Rin Tohsaka both have the same Western-style villa, Rin Tohsaka always feels uncomfortable here, as if she is in an insect nest with a large number of insects crawling under her feet.

"There's no need for in-depth research; I've already learned everything."

As Chen Xuan spoke, she placed the book she was holding on the table.

"?????"

When the Tohsaka sisters, Rin and Sakura, heard Chen Xuan's words, they tilted their heads and looked at Chen Xuan with question marks on their faces, as if to say, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."

[Ganluji Mili:? ? ? ? 】

[Nami: ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

[Kinomoto Sakura: ? ? ? ? ]

Like the Tohsaka sisters, the others in the chat group were all bewildered when they saw Chen Xuan only glance at her a few times before claiming they had already learned it. Their big eyes were filled with question marks, as if to say...

Dude, you just scanned it once and you're telling me you've learned it?

In such a short time, one might not even be able to remember a few words from the book, yet Chen Xuan said she had learned it. Is this how a master learns?

"It's not really that difficult, and the explanations in this book are quite easy to understand."

As Chen Xuan spoke, she opened the book and pointed to the contents.

"Forehead……"

"Master Chen Xuan, you truly live up to your reputation. You make even the most obscure and difficult content sound incredibly simple."

Rin Tohsaka looked at the numerous terms and techniques in the book that required careful interpretation, feeling overwhelmed just by looking at them. However, Chen Xuan said that this kind of content was simple. Rin Tohsaka could only say that the world of the big shots was indeed beyond the understanding of ordinary people like her.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Ugh, what is this written on? It feels like something from another dimension. I can't look at it for too long, it's making me dizzy.]

Looking at the contents of the book that Chen Xuan showed her in the Demon Slayer world, Kanroji Mitsuri felt that it was pure gibberish and completely incomprehensible. Not only could she not understand it, but just looking at the contents of the book made Kanroji Mitsuri feel dizzy, and her eyes turned into mosquito coils.

[Sakura Kinomoto: This must be Russian, right? It looks so difficult, I can't understand it at all.]

Mengwang Ying looked at the contents of the book. Although she recognized that it was written in Russian, as an elementary school student, she obviously did not understand it and could only exclaim that she could not understand it.

[Nami: So this is a foreign language from another world. No wonder I couldn't understand a word of it, even though I specifically learned Japanese and English.]

Nami realized that the book was in Russian when Sakura, the Queen of Moe, said that it was written in Russian.

[Kinomoto Sakura: But Brother Chen Xuan, even though he's not from Russia, how come he can read a magic book written in Russian so easily?]

Meng Wang Ying looked at Chen Xuan, who was reading a Russian magic book with ease, and exclaimed in admiration.

[Kanroji Mitsuri: Indeed, just looking at these words makes me dizzy. Truly worthy of Master Chen Xuan.]
