Chapter 692
Su Xiao didn't know if the subsequent modification would succeed. If it were an ordinary person, being injected with these things would mean certain death.
But Matou Kariya was originally Berserker's Master, had Command Spells to control Berserker on his hand, and had a close relationship with the dead Berserker.
Su Xiao had previously collected some blood from Lancelot's corpse. Lancelot was already dead at that time, but the berserk state was attached to him.
Using the storage space, Lancelot's berserk blood was preserved. In the Naruto world, Su Xiao had used this method to obtain Tailed Beast blood.
Su Xiao had originally wanted to inject this into his other Heroic Spirits to see if a berserk reaction would occur, but now he was using it on Matou Kariya.
Su Xiao first injected Lancelot's blood into Matou Kariya. The berserk blood was black, like ink.
As soon as the berserk blood was injected into Matou Kariya's body, the blood vessels all over his body bulged, and the Command Spells on his hand flashed with blood-red light.
Waiting for a moment, Su Xiao then injected the ultra-high concentration RC cells into Matou Kariya's body.
"Ah!!"
Matou Kariya rolled on the ground in pain, but the injuries in his body were recovering rapidly.
Stomping on the rolling Matou Kariya, Su Xiao picked up the diluted Hashirama cells and injected them into the man's body. These were Hashirama cells he had modified several times. If it were just simple dilution, Matou Kariya would have turned into a "plant" (tree-fication) the moment they were injected.
Click, click, click...
Saplings grew wildly on Matou Kariya's body. Qing Gang Ying energy gathered at Su Xiao's fingertips, and he pointed his finger at Matou Kariya.
Qing Gang Ying energy surged into Matou Kariya's body, beginning to destroy the RC cells and Hashirama cells.
Su Xiao didn't want these two types of cells to fuse perfectly; with the current conditions and his scientific research level, that was simply a fantasy.
Su Xiao just wanted to use these two types of energy to enhance Matou Kariya—an extremely brutal enhancement, regardless of the consequences, which was why he was devouring these two types of energy.
As for the berserk blood, it was used to ensure Matou Kariya didn't die.
After twitching on the ground for a few minutes, Matou Kariya kicked his legs and stopped moving.
Matou Sakura witnessed this scene and seemed to recall Matou Zouken's modification of herself; she subconsciously shrank back.
"Eh?"
After Su Xiao noticed Sakura's reaction, he was quite surprised. The girl actually still had emotions like fear, which surprised him.
However, after seeing Matou Sakura's small hands tightly gripping Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's fur, Su Xiao thought this was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's charm attribute taking effect.
For the already desperate Matou Sakura, the sudden appearance of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, with a charm as high as 53 points, was almost equivalent to spiritual comfort + spiritual sustenance + reliance.
The power of the charm attribute was reflected here. As one of the six main attributes, how could the charm attribute just increase others' favorability?
Or rather, the charm attribute is the attribute with the most functionality: others' favorability, spiritual comfort, disguise, and even control, etc.
There is a saying in the Reincarnation Paradise: powerful control professions are definitely not intelligence-specialized, but charm-specialized.
Powerful control abilities of the charm type are all unsolvable, but such abilities are extremely rare; at least Su Xiao hadn't seen them yet.
One could see the power of the charm attribute from Matou Sakura's current mental state.
At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was somewhat helpless. Matou Sakura's small hands had been tightly hugging it. Wherever Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang went, Matou Sakura followed, not a step behind.
This was a good thing. If Matou Kariya's modification failed, Su Xiao would have to rely on Matou Sakura to continue staying in the Holy Grail world.
"Kill, kill them all!"
Dark red smoke surged from within Matou Kariya's body. He stood up slowly. At this time, Matou Kariya's eyes were blood-red, and the muscles all over his body had somewhat tree-fied, covered in dark red meridians.
"Succeeded?"
"Roar!"
Matou Kariya roared at Su Xiao.
"Looks like it failed."
Su Xiao stood up, Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand, and Qing Gang Ying energy wrapped around the long blade.
Seeing the lightning-like Qing Gang Ying energy, the greatly changed Matou Kariya subconsciously stepped back twice, his eyes, which revealed red light, staring fixedly at Checking Zhan Long Shan.
"This is... fear of Qing Gang Ying energy?"
The modification was successful to a certain extent, but Matou Kariya had lost his sanity. Expecting to maintain sanity while becoming stronger through several types of cells was wishful thinking.
The current Matou Kariya was not too strong, nor too weak. If he fought Su Xiao, holding on for a few minutes should be no problem, but wanting to defeat other Heroic Spirits was a delusion. Hashirama cells + RC cells = extremely resistant to beating.
Strength increased, but sanity lost.
"How many is this?"
Su Xiao held up three fingers to Matou Kariya.
"Roar!"
Clearly, three fingers did not equal "roar," so Su Xiao rushed forward and kicked Matou Kariya in the face.
With a bang, Matou Kariya was kicked by Su Xiao from the living room into the kitchen, crashing a large hole in a wall.
Unable to control, unable to communicate—with Matou Kariya's current situation, it wasn't suitable to bring him along, because "this thing" might take a bite out of the back of his neck when Su Xiao wasn't looking.
If one ignored these shortcomings, Matou Kariya's current appearance was somewhat similar to Lancelot in a berserk state.
His eyes had turned blood-red due to the erosion of RC cells, and black smoke drifted from Matou Kariya's body; this was due to the berserk blood.
Kicked away by Su Xiao, Matou Kariya was unharmed. Although some parts of his body had tree-fied, causing his movements to be stiff, his defensive power had greatly increased.
Matou Kariya stood up, his blood-red eyes looking at Su Xiao. When his gaze turned and saw Matou Sakura, his body actually paused.
Seeing Matou Kariya's reaction, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Tohsaka Tokiomi."
"Roar!!"
Hearing this name, Matou Kariya roared, and the black smoke on his body became even denser.
"It's all... Tokiomi's... fault."
Matou Kariya actually spoke, his voice dry and hoarse.
Seeing that Matou Kariya hadn't completely lost his sanity, his brain had been eroded by the three types of cells or energy—berserk blood + RC cells + Hashirama cells (diluted)—which was why he had his current appearance.
"You, come here."
Su Xiao looked at Matou Sakura. Sakura hugged Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tightly and shook her head.
This made Su Xiao even more surprised. Matou Sakura actually had the emotion of refusal. It seemed the charm attribute was more powerful than he had imagined.
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Matou Sakura. Matou Sakura hesitated for a moment, her small body stood up, and she tightened the rag on her body; after all, this was given to her by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.
"Order him, tell him to walk forward a few steps."
Su Xiao pointed at Matou Kariya. After Matou Sakura stood up, Matou Kariya had been staring at her.
"Walk... forward a few steps?"
After standing beside Su Xiao, Matou Sakura's mental state began to go wrong again. She could recover her mental state beside Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, but beside the fierce Su Xiao, Matou Sakura showed signs of returning to her previous mental state. If this repeated, this little loli would be played to ruin sooner or later.
Click...
Matou Kariya stepped forward, but he didn't just walk a few steps; he walked to Matou Sakura's front.
"Sakura..."
Matou Kariya raised a hand emitting black smoke, seemingly wanting to touch Matou Sakura.
Still unable to fully control, but Su Xiao discovered one point: Matou Kariya would not harm Matou Sakura and would appropriately listen to her words.
Su Xiao immediately understood what was going on. Matou Kariya actually had two obsessions, not just saving her; the second obsession was destruction—destroying Tohsaka Tokiomi.
There were two things that could cause emotional fluctuations in the current Matou Kariya: one was protecting Matou Sakura, and the other was killing Tohsaka Tokiomi.
However, Matou Kariya was currently unstable. His body was collapsing at a slow speed and would die before long. This process could be a few days or a month.
Even so, Su Xiao was already very satisfied. If he hadn't bothered with Matou Kariya before, after Matou Zouken died, the Crest Worms would have lost control. Whether he used Qing Gang Ying to kill the Crest Worms inside the man or not, Matou Kariya would have died. The moment he accepted the Crest Worms, his death date was already doomed. Although it didn't achieve the expected effect, the current situation was not bad.
To a certain extent, Su Xiao had helped Matou Kariya, giving him the possibility of completing his revenge. Death is not terrible; dying meaninglessly like in the original work is truly terrible.
The already berserk Matou Kariya stood dazed on the spot, while Tohsaka Sakura took small steps and ran back to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's side.
After Su Xiao instructed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang a few words, he walked quickly out of the house.
Five minutes later, Su Xiao returned to the house, carrying a suit of armor and a bucket of black paint. He dyed the armor black with the black paint. Keeping appropriate vigilance, Su Xiao put this full-body armor on Matou Kariya.
As long as the armor wasn't shattered, any mage seeing Matou Kariya emitting black smoke would immediately think of a Berserker with a berserk state attached.
After doing all this, Su Xiao looked at the back of his right hand. He drew a Command Spell on the back of his hand.
Now Matou Kariya was disguised as Berserker, and Su Xiao was disguised as Berserker's Master.
Most situations were Heroic Spirit vs. Heroic Spirit, Master vs. Master, but if any other Master came looking for Su Xiao, he would definitely hack them until they doubted their lives.
The Master was attached with a berserk state and wore armor, while the Heroic Spirit had a Command Spell drawn on his hand. Undoubtedly, Su Xiao's team was the most peculiar of all combinations.
