As the sunlight faded, Li Yu's figure became fully visible, and Matou Zouken also recognized the newcomer. With the dissipation of the light, the basement returned to its original dark state.

However, the air inside was filled with the smell of Sun, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion. Looking at Li Yu who had suddenly appeared, Matou Zouken's face was extremely gloomy.

"Who are you?!" Matou Zouken demanded as he prepared his Magecraft, intending to launch a surprise attack. This person before him clearly had ill intentions!

"Who am I? You are not worthy to know, please die!" Li Yu was too lazy to waste words. The next moment, the Sun erupted, and a terrifying heat was released from Li Yu's body. In an instant, the entire Matou Family was reduced to ashes.

People living near the Matou Family even felt as if the Sun had risen! What's going on? Has it already gotten light?

The light appeared silently, without a sound of explosion. In an instant, the entire Matou Family was completely reduced to dust. When everything cleared up, all that remained was a dark crater tens of meters deep.

Apart from Li Yu and Sakura, the entire Matou Family had completely turned to dust and vanished from the world. The Sun disappeared, and night once again enveloped the earth. Sakura, who was unharmed inside the crater, stared blankly at Li Yu.

"Are you alright?" Li Yu turned to look at Sakura, who was staring blankly at him, and then squatted down to ask. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream to Sakura.

But Sakura knew she was alright, so she opened her mouth and couldn't help but ask, "Big brother..."

Are you a Kami?

"No, I'm not that kind of low-class thing, I'm human! At most, I'm a God Slayer!" Li Yu rubbed Sakura's head, then reached out and helped her up.

Holding Li Yu's hand, Sakura felt safer than ever before. She gripped Li Yu's big hand tightly with her small hand, only in this way could she feel safe.

Although her older brother said he wasn't Kami, in Sakura's heart, he was Kami. If it weren't for her older brother's appearance, who knows what she would have gone through.

"Want to come with me?" Li Yu invited Sakura, and he had already decided in his heart that he would give Sakura to Nangong Natsuki.

Sakura possesses the Imaginary Number attribute, which is essentially a spatial attribute. This means having her as a student of Nangong Natsuki is the best choice, or rather, as her daughter? Natsuki-chan, I've found you a daughter, do you want her?

Thinking this, Li Yu's lips curled up slightly. He had already made up his mind about what to do with Sakura. After all, nobody wanted Sakura right now. The Tohsaka Family gave her away, and then the Matou Family was gone. It's only natural that I would take her back, right?

"Onii-chan, will you leave me?" Sakura didn't immediately agree to Li Yu's invitation; instead, she asked this question, and she became nervous after saying it.

"No, but I'll send you to my teacher, because she's a space witch, and you also have space attributes, so you'd be suitable to learn her True Magic." Li Yu's words stunned Sakura.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "Sakura doesn't know Onii-chan's name yet, can you tell me?"

Sakura didn't think too much about it, because Li Yu said it wouldn't happen, and that was enough. As for her studying, she would study whatever her older brother told her to study, and besides, her older brother's teacher should be not far from him.

"My name is Li Yu! Let's go, I'll take you to find a place to stay first." Although this place was silently blown up, it probably won't be long before someone notices the anomaly; that fluctuation of power can't be hidden.

Li Yu, holding Sakura's hand, disappeared from the spot. About ten minutes after Li Yu left, a middle-aged man in a suit and leaning on a cane arrived. He looked at the deep pit in front of him and his pupils shrank.

What on earth is going on? The Matou Family! His face was also incredibly pale. Could someone tell him what had happened?

"Sakura..." Thinking of his daughter who had just been adopted, his face darkened even more. With something like this happening here, could his daughter have also been murdered?

As time went by, more and more people arrived. Seeing that the Matou Family had completely disappeared, everyone's faces turned extremely grim. How could such a thing happen at this time?

It seemed the summoning of the Heroic Spirits would have to be brought forward. Tohsaka Tokiomi quickly made up his mind. Without saying goodbye to the others, he turned and left.

At this moment, Li Yu was unaware of what was about to happen. He had already found a house that wealthy people didn't live in and moved in. Li Yu had specifically used his abilities to investigate the matter.

The owner of this house lives abroad most of the year, so the house has always been vacant. However, someone comes to clean it every month. It was just cleaned yesterday, so Li Yu can move in right away.

No one usually comes here, so Li Yu can stay here with complete peace of mind, without worrying about being disturbed. Even if someone does come, it's fine; a little psychological suggestion will do the trick. Li Yu knows a little True Magic for that.

Sakura looked at the house in front of her with a puzzled look. Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation on the back of her right hand. Sakura was startled and quickly looked down to see a scarlet mark on the back of her hand.

Li Yu naturally noticed the mark on the other person's hand immediately. When he saw it, a look of surprise flashed in Li Yu's eyes. The Command Spells chose Sakura? Does it represent the Matou Family?

The Three Founding Families are eligible for every Holy Grail War. Now that the Matou Family is gone, even if someone else were still alive, it would only be that pure-hearted Artosh, but he's not from the Matou Family anymore, so the only option is Sakura?

Or perhaps Alaya or Gaia did this? In any case, this thing needs to be dealt with, since Sakura doesn't have enough magic power to supply a Heroic Spirits.

"Brother Li Yu, what is this?" Sakura looked at the mark that had appeared on her hand with some fear. This strange thing frightened Sakura.

Hearing Sakura's words, Li Yu couldn't help but say, "Don't be afraid, these Command Spells, used for the Holy Grail War. I'll take care of them for you."

After saying that, Li Yu gestured for her to extend her hand. Although Li Yu had not learned Magecraft in this world, Li Yu had already figured out how to control and transfer this thing in her own hands.

Upon hearing this, Sakura obediently extended her hand to Li Yu. Then, under Li Yu's control, the Command Spells in Sakura's hand were transferred directly to Li Yu's left hand, with one Command Spells in each hand. Now, things were getting interesting.

Li Yu thought of the antiques he had bought when he came, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Perhaps he could use them to try and summon them.

One of these Command Spells can summon a C-rank character, and the other a B-rank character. I wonder what kind of thing this one I bought will summon? The shopkeeper said it's an antique from ancient Britain, but who knows if it's true?

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the Command Spells that had disappeared from her hand. Thankfully, it could be transferred. After all, children can't get tattoos, and they can't even when they grow up!

"Then let's summon the Heroic Spirits first and see what we can summon," Li Yu said, before walking to the hall to prepare to Heroic Spirit Summoning.

Summoning Heroic Spirits requires drawing Magic Array? That's a lie. You can actually summon them without Magic Array. After all, Command Spells are essentially summoning devices. As long as you're in the Holy Grail War, you can summon them.

Whether or not Magic Array is drawn is irrelevant. Drawing one only adds a sense of mystery and is a waste of money, since Magecraft need to use all sorts of materials to draw Magic Array.

Thinking that the more expensive the materials used, the stronger the summoned Heroic Spirits will be? That's laughable! It's completely random; it depends on which Heroic Spirits is summoned!

"Let's do a random summon first, then we'll use Remains to summon." Li Yu said, raising his right hand. He'd just randomly summon any C-rank Servant; he wanted to see what kind of Heroic Spirits he could get.

The Command Spells activated, and instantly a Magic Array appeared in the room. Li Yu, too lazy to chant any incantations, simply shouted, "Send a Heroic Spirits! Plenty of mana!"

Sakura was also drawn to the Magic Array that appeared. As Li Yu finished speaking, the Magic Array suddenly emitted a strong light, and a figure appeared within Magic Array.

"Servant, Leonardo da Vinci has come in response to the call. You can call me Da Vinci, dear~!" Upon hearing this voice and the name, Li Yu was somewhat surprised.

Good heavens, he actually summoned Da Vinci? That's quite unexpected. But on second thought, Li Yu seemed to understand, because without using Remains, the summoned Heroic Spirits are always the most compatible.

They are either similar in personality or bloodline, or they might be your future self. Since you don't have any blood relatives in this world, the ones you summon now are all similar to your own personality.

Are Da Vinci and I similar in personality? Li Yu couldn't help but ponder this for a moment. Upon reflection, they really were quite similar. Da Vinci was a genius, and so was Li Yu. We could learn whatever we wanted—that seemed reasonable, didn't it?

Having figured all this out, Li Yu's lips curled into a slight smile, and he slowly said, "I'll leave the Holy Grail War to you, Da Vinci!"

Da Vinci's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. After observing Li Yu for a moment, she smiled slightly and said very gently, "Of course, no problem! The Holy Grail War!"

After speaking, her gaze fell on Li Yu's left hand, and then she couldn't help but say, "It seems Master was prepared, having actually obtained two Command Spells?"

Two Heroic Spirits teaming up—wouldn't that be an absolute crushing victory? Oh, no, even she alone could crush them. That's how confident she was. But having an extra ally would only make things easier.

"This is Sakura's Command Spells, but she can't handle such a large amount of magical power, so I transferred it to myself. I'll continue summoning now, please wait a moment to the side," Li Yu explained with a smile.
