Chapter 203: This Kid Is Just Too Useful!

For a moment, everyone, including Bai Zeming, opened their mouths in stunned silence, staring up at the shattered sky above them.

…What the hell?

One strike shattered the Holy Grail and cracked the sky?!

With power like that, big brother, why didn’t you say so earlier? Why did I have to scramble around Fuyuki City?

Of course, despite the complaints and amazement, Bai Zeming understood why Lin Yu had refused to intervene before.

Simply invoking the Holy Grail through the rules of the Holy Grail War had already provoked the Root’s resistance; if Lin Yu had forcibly intervened, the consequences might have been far worse than this!

Above them, Gilgamesh, standing atop his flying vessel, fell silent, his arms, once crossed, now hanging limp as he stared grimly at the mirror-like shattered sky.

A casual strike, yet comparable to his strongest weapon, Enkidu.

Even the gods in his understanding could not accomplish such a thing!

…Is this what a truly great being means?

Gilgamesh thought silently to himself.

While the others were caught in shock, awe, and fear, Lin Yu, the one who caused it all, experienced entirely different thoughts.

“Damn, I might have overdone it.”

Gazing at the black fissures voraciously devouring the world’s matter, Lin Yu blinked, slightly embarrassed.

The world’s space was far more fragile than he’d anticipated—he lost control of his force and accidentally pierced through the world, connecting to the minor void beyond.

Without external interference, these spatial rifts would persist permanently, endlessly consuming the world’s matter until total annihilation.

Of course, with Lin Yu’s power, he could heal these broken spaces.

But the problem was, the minor void beyond the rifts lay perilously close to the Root—using such power again would likely trigger consequences far worse than this.

After a moment’s thought, his eyes suddenly lit up—he’d thought of a solution that satisfied both sides.

Without hesitation, he activated his mind, instantly expanding the Qimen Formation a hundredfold, spreading it across the entire archipelago.

The next instant, silver light flared, and a pink-haired boy in a green-and-blue school uniform appeared out of thin air.

Upon appearing, the pink-haired boy froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, staring at the handsome young man before him and the apocalyptic scene above—his face darkened.

“So you’ve finally decided to destroy the world?”

“I swear I didn’t mean to—do you believe me?”

“So… you admit you did this?”

“No, I didn’t.”

Lin Yu placed his hand on Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s shoulder and said solemnly: “No time to explain—fix this shattered space right now!”

“…”

Kirisaki Nan Xiong frowned skeptically but immediately raised his arm, aiming at the shattered sky above.

The next instant, an invisible force spread outward, covering a hundred-mile radius of the sky.

All the rippling spatial energy contracted backward as if time reversed; the terrifying, jagged fissures began slowly healing under the invisible force.

In just ten seconds, the shattered sky returned to normal—but the matter already devoured was not restored.

Over a hundred miles around Mount Yuancang, not a single cloud remained—only a pristine blue sky and a solitary sun hanging beyond.

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled in satisfaction.

He finally understood why Alaya and Gaia had compromised for Kirisaki Nan Xiong !

The reason was simple—this kid was just too useful!

Especially when it came to cleaning up messes, erasing traces, and tidying up aftermaths—he was a hundred times more effective than any so-called guardian, comparable to DC’s designated cleanup hero—the Flash!

Watching the sky return to normal, Kirisaki Nan Xiong exhaled, glancing at Lin Yu.

“So… who did this?”

Lin Yu answered honestly: “Me.”

Kirisaki Nan Xiong : “…”

Lin Yu looked utterly sincere: “Nanxiong, listen to my excuse—I had no choice, I was trying to save the Earth…”

He told Kirisaki Nan Xiong everything about the Holy Grail and the curse, deliberately omitting the Root’s unrest.

Kirisaki Nan Xiong initially wore a “I’m waiting for your excuse” expression, but as he listened, he fell silent, gazing at Lin Yu with a complex look.

“So… you really eliminated the curse?”

“Eliminated it… but not completely.”

Lin Yu nodded, then shook his head, holding up the black heart in his hand: “This heart is the aggregate of billions of curses from the Holy Grail—but it only represents humanity’s accumulated evil from the past.”

“Even if I drain it, this world will keep generating new curses.”

“They arise from human malice; as long as malice endures, they will never truly vanish.”

Hearing this, Kirisaki Nan Xiong fell silent.

As a telepath, he had grown up immersed in human kindness and malice.

He knew Lin Yu was right—human malice could never be fully eradicated; even his own oblivious parents occasionally harbored thoughts they shouldn’t.

Looking at the pink-haired boy with furrowed brows, Lin Yu smiled, tucked the black heart away, and patted his shoulder.

“Enough with the brooding, kid.”

“This isn’t something you should be worrying about at your age.”

“Human malice can’t be eradicated, but it can be controlled—like those black mud curses: if you clean and absorb them regularly, you can keep them at a healthy level…”

Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s expression shifted slightly; after a moment’s thought, he asked softly: “What should I do?”

Lin Yu was pleased with Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s cooperation—he immediately grabbed his right hand and lightly tapped his palm.

Instantly, silver light flared, weaving into a mysterious, intricate eye on Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s palm.

“What is this?”

“The Secret Eye, the Eye of Chaos, or the Gazing Eye—pick whichever name you like.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s face twitched: “I mean—what does it do?”

Lin Yu replied as if it were obvious: “Of course, to absorb curses!”

“This eye carries my power—it can connect to the holes that spawn black mud, just like Command Seals connect to the Throne of Heroes. If you come to Mount Yuancang once a year, you can use it to clear newly formed curses.”

“And I’ll come every year… to send Bai Zeming to retrieve the curses, so they don’t affect you.”

Lin Yu paused, then smiled: “Of course, this is just a precaution—your mental defenses are so strong, even the previous billions of curses couldn’t touch you, right?”

“…”

Kirisaki Nan Xiong gave a slight nod—indeed, it was true.

In the original timeline, he intervened in the Holy Grail War but, lacking understanding of the Grail’s nature, failed to seal the hole like Saber did—instead, he tore it wider, causing black mud to surge out and instantly engulf Mount Yuancang, killing countless lives.

That event left a deep psychological scar on his young mind.

As a result, in all subsequent Lunhui , he dared not interfere in the Holy Grail War again.

Now, Lin Yu, a reliable adult, had resolved this mental burden—though Kirisaki Nan Xiong said nothing outwardly, he was deeply grateful inside.

Precisely because of this, even though he knew Lin Yu’s request to clean curses wasn’t entirely altruistic, he still accepted willingly.

“Good!”

Lin Yu greatly appreciated Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s initiative—he patted his shoulder and smiled: “By the clock, you’re in class now—don’t worry, I’ll send you back right away!”

“…”

Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s face darkened again, as if saying: “You know I’m in class?”

Lin Yu kept smiling, waved his hand, and sent Kirisaki Nan Xiong back to school before he could react.

Once Kirisaki Nan Xiong ’s figure vanished completely, Lin Yu turned to look down at the others.

Only then did Gilgamesh, who had remained silent, finally speak, frowning:

“Who is he?”

“…”

Lin Yu glanced at him: “You’ve lived in this world for a year—can’t you guess?”

Gilgamesh fell silent again, then murmured: “The Restricted Zone?”

Lin Yu nodded: “Correct.”

It was him!

Gilgamesh stared at the spot where Kirisaki Nan Xiong had disappeared, his expression complex.

On this pink-haired boy, he sensed a radiance nearly divine—and not just one, but at least two great beings were watching over this child!

No wonder Gilgamesh was called “The Witness of All Things!”

Within a single day, he had encountered two beings beyond his comprehension!

Lin Yu ignored Gilgamesh’s complicated expression and landed directly on the ruined ground.

Bai Zeming and the others hurried forward, eagerly asking: “Is it resolved?”

“Resolved!”

Lin Yu nodded with a smile: “The few remaining issues? A kind soul has volunteered to take them over…”

Bai Zeming blinked, whispering: “God Kirisaki?”

Lin Yu nodded: “Exactly.”

Bai Zeming sighed in relief: “Good!”

“Then… what about the Holy Grail War?”

Farisato Rin asked slowly, her expression complex.

Lin Yu glanced at her and said coolly, “Little girl, deliver a message to the magic community: from now on, the Holy Grail War no longer exists in this world!”

“If anyone dares to rebuild the Greater Holy Grail, I will appear myself to have a chat with him!”

With that, before anyone could react, Lin Yu waved his hand.

In an instant, silver light flared, and the Tohsaka sisters, Kiritsugu Emiya, and others vanished instantly; Saber, Rider, Archer, and Gilgamesh in the sky disappeared as well.

In an instant, the ruins of Ryūdōji Temple were left with only Lin Yu, Zhao Yun, Bai Ze, and Lancer.

Bai Ze looked stunned and couldn’t help asking, “Where did they go?”
