Lynch killed his way back to the Matou Residence, and the fun points Matou Zouken could provide were almost exhausted.

Under the absolute fear of death and annihilation, Old Worm’s emotional reaction was intense, an intensity he had never experienced in hundreds of years, so all the fun points he could generate had been generated.

At this point, Lynch no longer held back and immediately intensified his firepower to launch an extermination attack on Matou Zouken.Full novel: Fate: The Fourth Calamity’s Multiverse of Chaos — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Yes, not instantly killing Matou Zouken was not only to collect as much as possible from the Matou Residence but also to continuously pressure Old Worm, forcing him to release all his fun points.

Now that Old Worm had no more use, Lynch naturally proceeded to finish him off.

How strong was a fully powered ‘Iron Man Tohsaka Tokiomi’?

It was unclear.

However, eliminating Old Worm was a dimensional strike.

“Ah ah ah~~ I’m sorry~~ Spare this old man~~ No matter what this old man did before, please spare this old man~~”

Seeing that he couldn’t win or escape, and his bug clones were gradually being destroyed, Matou Zouken finally couldn’t hold on anymore and let out a terrifying, hysterical plea for mercy.

Facing Matou Zouken’s plea for mercy, Lynch’s attitude was simple: he raised his hand to blast away Old Worm’s pleading clone and calmly uttered the classic line: “You don’t know you were wrong; you just know you’re about to die.”

This attitude filled Matou Zouken with shock, anger, and even greater fear.

He couldn’t win, so he could only continue to beg for mercy, claiming he truly knew he was wrong and would change from now on.

In response, Lynch continued with another classic line: “A rotten orange is a rotten orange.

If you’re Old Worm for a day, you’re Old Worm for life!”

Matou Zouken: “Ah ah ah~~~ This old man has never offended you, why?

Does this old man deserve to die?”

Lynch: “Nonsense, if you don’t deserve to die, do I?”

Ding~ Achievement: Famous Scene Creation Completed, Reward 500 fun points.

Another new achievement, and a new achievement image.

The image showed Iron Man bombing Matou Zouken and the various bugs he summoned, with Iron Man’s eyes burning with red flames, full of tension and oppression.

As for the name of this image, it was ‘Old Worm Slaughter Machine, at this moment, you are the new General Duanmu’.

Hmm, another fun and meme-filled famous scene.

The amusement system, in these fun aspects, truly never disappointed.

It was under such circumstances that the Matou Residence was completely ransacked by Lynch, and flames were burning everything that remained of the Matou Residence.

In the distance, the sounds of fire trucks and police cars were gradually approaching.

Lynch knew it was time to finish up.

When all the valuable items on the first floor had been cleared, Lynch entered the basement, where he cornered Matou Zouken, who had nowhere left to run.

Facing this situation, Matou Zouken wanted to make a final stand, launching his last attack.

However, it was useless.

As Lynch spread his hands, terrifying energy erupted.

Weapons opened up from his hands, chest, back, shoulders, legs, and other places, releasing damage specifically effective against demons.

The terrifying energy instantly filled and incinerated everything in the entire space.

The originally foul-smelling underground space instantly turned into nothing but a burnt smell and countless charred ashes.

This was the effect of Lynch’s single strike, and it minimized damage to the building and surroundings, focusing purely on the destruction of biomass.

However, even so, Matou Zouken, that old thing, was not dead yet.

Looking over, in a corner of the basement, a twisted, large tadpole-like bug, the true body of Old Worm, was convulsing, with multiple scorch marks and burns on its body.

Clearly, Lynch’s previous attack had successfully injured Old Worm, but Old Worm had used other bugs and his maximum burst of magic to preserve his bug life.

It had to be said, Matou Zouken’s will to survive was truly too strong; to still be alive after all that was quite remarkable.

Such a will to survive left Lynch awestruck.

But this was the end.

Lynch was about to deliver the final blow to Matou Zouken.

However, just before making his move, Lynch paused.

It wasn’t because he felt soft-hearted at Old Worm’s pitiful appearance; with that bug’s appearance, seeing its miserable state would only make one want to kick it again.

He stopped because Lynch suddenly realized that if Old Worm, in his current state, could be controlled, his value could be further exploited.

For example, by using him as a timer to check the cooldown recovery of fun points—everyone whose fun points reached their output limit and had a recovery cooldown had the same cooldown time.

And after Matou Zouken’s fun point cooldown recovered, he could be squeezed again.

There were many ways to extract fun points from a powerless bug.

Not to mention, the UP hosts Lynch had watched in his previous life, who specialized in various experiments with small bugs, had shown Lynch how to torment a bug with their astounding wisdom, which even Satan would yield his throne to.

Furthermore, leaving Matou Zouken was also an insurance policy.

That was the need to acquire ten thousand fun points from relevant individuals during the Holy Grail War, and this did not include achievement rewards.

Therefore, to be safe, keeping Matou Zouken alive could allow Lynch to supplement the necessary fun points through this Old Worm at that time.

And speaking of achievement rewards, could more achievements be unlocked by messing with Old Worm?

After all, he was part of the main story, so the achievements he could unlock should at least not be worse than Aozaki Touko’s, right?

Of course, even with various reasons to keep Matou Zouken alive, Lynch wasn’t absolutely set on it.

If he could easily trap and contain him, he wouldn’t mind temporarily sparing his life and dealing with him after the Holy Grail War.

But if he was difficult to contain, then resolving him here would also be acceptable.

Raising his hand, Lynch had Jarvis change the weapon from an energy cannon to a rapid-freeze spray.

A snowy white freezing mist instantly enveloped Matou Zouken, freezing Old Worm instantly.

After checking with the amusement system, he found that Old Worm was indeed tenacious; he was still not dead even like this.

Then, Lynch tried to put him into the system inventory.

Originally, the system inventory couldn’t store living things, but this ice sculpture of Old Worm was categorized as an ‘item,’ and it could actually be contained.

So, Lynch immediately put him into the system inventory.

Just like that, Old Worm’s containment was complete.

The mission to raid the Matou Residence tonight was also successfully completed.

Lynch immediately raised his hand and drew a circle in the void.

This was actually a spatial portal.

There were many golden sparks around the circle, and this was exactly what Lynch had used when he first appeared as ‘Iron Man Tokiomi’ in front of the Tohsaka Family.

This was something recreated by referencing the teleportation magic of the Kamar-Taj sorcerers in the Marvel World, combined with Iron Man suit technology and Fate World magic technology.

Undoubtedly, this was another instance of Lynch’s ‘I think it’ll work’ mindset when creating settings, which was then approved by the amusement system; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been achievable.

However, this wasn’t just messing around, because in the original Marvel setting, there was an Iron Man Tony Stark who became the Sorcerer Supreme.

Since that Iron Sorcerer Supreme could do it, there was no reason ‘Iron Man Tohsaka Tokiomi’ couldn’t.

Furthermore, the teleportation spell Lynch recreated actually had a maximum effective range of only twenty kilometers.

It couldn’t traverse dimensions or cross the universe like the Sorcerer Supreme in the movies, nor could it cross galaxies like Doctor Strange.

It could only be said that this teleportation technology was very useful.

Just as Lynch stepped into the teleportation circle and arrived in the forest outside Fuyuki City, a roar suddenly came from the still-open teleportation circle.

Lynch looked back and saw Kirei Kotomine, who had rushed over from Kotomine Church, bursting into the basement of the Matou Residence.

Although he was covered in flames from the fire outside, the clothes he wore were actually Church holy vestments, possessing a certain degree of fire and bullet resistance.

Therefore, although he looked like he was on fire, he was actually fine.

And he immediately saw the teleportation circle and the Iron Man about to disappear into it.

This scene made Kirei Kotomine pause, and the last thing he heard was the calm electronic voice of Iron Man.

“Farewell.”

As the words fell, the teleportation portal closed.

Then, Lynch, having made his dramatic exit, immediately fled, soaring into the night sky.

He intended to return to Miyako City before the character card’s duration ended, leaving Kirei Kotomine standing stunned in place.

Finally, Kirei Kotomine ran out of the Matou Family residence before the flames reached the basement.
