But the attack didn't affect anyone else; the shockwave was entirely contained. Still, the explosion startled everyone in Fuyuki City.
"What the? A gas explosion?"
Residents near the Matou estate were jolted awake, rushing to their windows to check. When they saw the fire reaching the sky, they were left dumbfounded. Did they hit a gas pocket? It looked just like an explosion at a natural gas field. The pillar of fire soared upward but didn't spread outward. Ordinary people just assumed it was a gas explosion.
But the city's magi were terrified. The Church and the Tohsaka family received the news at once. The explosion at the Matou estate was a major event. There was still a year until the Holy Grail War, so why was this happening now?
Inside her consciousness, Sakura was stunned at what she saw. Whatwhat? The whole place just exploded?
But Takumi didn't bother to explain to her for now. Still in control of Sakura's body, he slowly raised her head and spoke aloud:
"I came to this world without any malice. There's no need for you all to watch me so closely."
...
He said that, but in truth, they were panicking!
Both Alaya and Gaia were terrified. From Takumi, they sensed an aura of a natural enemy.
"This girl is under my protection from now on. So, you understand what that means. I won't interfere in your world's affairs. For now, I'm heading into the Root. Don't do anything foolish."
With that, Takumi made Sakura's body vanish from the spot. Next, he appeared at the large cavern of Mount Enzo.
Takumi glanced at the magical wards here and instantly dispelled them. Then he made his way directly to the Greater Grail.
After checking the condition of the Grail, Takumi understood the situation. He raised his hand and opened a passage to the Root. The Evils of Humanity reacted instantly, but before they could move, Takumi suppressed them.
Takumi then walked Sakura straight in. Alaya and Gaia didn't dare stop himthey could only watch as Takumi entered. Summoning heroic spirits to block him? They'd be wiped out in an instant, maybe even the Throne of Heroes itself destroyed.
What on earth was going on? Why did such a terrifying person appear in their world? And this was only an avatar. The anti-civilization energy he carried was far too terrifying. They dared not provoke him for fear that Takumi might come in person. If that happened, their world would be doomed.
Truthfully, Takumi was already very powerful upon arrival. If he'd sent over the Herrscher of the Void's core, he could probably play with countless parallel worlds as he pleased. But that didn't matter now.
What really interested Takumi was the Rootthe Akasha. The Swirl of the Root is the ultimate dream of all magi, a place unreachable even in a lifetime. It holds the fundamental causality and laws of all things and records everything in the Nasuverse. Here, you can find knowledge of all magecraft, magicanything that exists in the Nasuverse.
Some become magicians just by glimpsing the Root; others are immediately assimilated. After stepping into the Root, Takumi shut off Sakura's senses and fully took over her body, activating his Authority to the maximum and frantically absorbing all the Root's knowledge: magic, magecraft, all sorts of loreTakumi absorbed it all and stored it away. All this would become nourishment for him. Since he was here, he wasn't going to leave empty-handedthat was always his style.
Though it was just an avatar this time, it was more than enough. Meanwhile, the group chat was bustling with discussionespecially since Sakura had stopped talking after claiming Takumi's red packet. But Takumi's attention wasn't on the group; his true body was on the moon, remotely controlling Sakura from another world, so no one in the chat could get any answers.
Takumi didn't know how long he stayed in the Root, but after absorbing enough knowledge, he finally came back to himself. Now, Takumi had mastered all of the Nasuverse's knowledge. Feeling the information in his mind, he couldn't help but smile. Then, without a hint of reluctance, Takumi left the Root behind.
Chapter 200: Do You Want to Kick Your Dad a Couple Times?
Takumi, still controlling Matou Sakura's body, returned to Fuyuki City.
"Thanks for cooperating!"
"This girl's fate is no longer in your hands."
"As for all those parallel world versions Please handle them yourselves~."
"From now onthere will only be one Matou Sakura."
"If you ever need any help, you can always talk to her. I don't mind lending a hand."
Takumi said this to the void, then led Sakura underground.
Gaia and Alaya were ecstatic when they heard this. This was just too great! To have a powerful thigh to hugit was the best!
After saying all this, Takumi ignored Gaia and Alaya, restoring Sakura's senses and returning full control of her body. Once he was done, Takumi materialized as a figure next to Sakura.
Sakura, regaining her body, immediately looked at Takumi.
"Thank you, Brother Takumi"
Sakura was very emotional. She had finally left that place.
Takumi looked at the little girl in front of him.
"Let's go! I'll take you home."
Hearing this, Sakura froze for a moment, then hesitated.
"Daddy doesn't want me anymore"
As she said this, Sakura looked truly wronged. Remembering everything she had been through, tears streamed down her face. If it hadn't been for Takumi, who knows what would have happened to her? She didn't want to be abandoned again.
Hearing Sakura, Takumi looked a bit helpless.
"He wouldn't dare abandon you!"
"You've seen the daily check-ins in the group, right? Once you've accumulated enough points, just let Brother Takumi know."
"I'll lend you an item so you can bring your sister and mother to settle in my world."
Takumi patted Sakura on the head, giving her some advice.
Yes! If Sakura escaped, then Takumi's promise to Alaya and Gaia wouldn't matter anymoresince they wouldn't be able to find him. Perfect!
Sakura was stunned by this suggestion.
"Really? I can do that?"
She hurriedly opened the group chat and checked in. After earning 60 points, she blinked in surprise.
"Of course you can."
"With just a bit more time, you'll have enough points~!"
"Right now, Brother Takumi isn't here in person, so I can't take you over just yet. And you don't have enough points to travel worlds right now, so you'll need to wait a little while."
Sakura nodded eagerly.
"Okay!!"
This was amazing. If that was possible, she could do it.
"Alright, let's go home!"
"Oh, right, Sakura!"
"I have a gift for you."
Takumi suddenly thought of something and reached out, tapping Sakura on the head. Instantly, a flood of magic knowledge poured into Sakura's mindall kinds of imaginary number magecraft, and the Second Magic
The Second Magic was the ability to traverse and interfere with parallel worlds, and it granted nearly infinite magical power. This was Takumi's gift to Sakura.
Whether she could master it depended on her own talent; all Takumi gave was knowledge. To truly master it, Sakura would have to wait until she grew up.
Absorbing all this knowledge, Sakura's eyes sparkled. Looking at her small hand, she instantly conjured a small cube.
"Brother Takumi, look!!"
It was an imaginary number cubea piece of space held in her palm. Truly, Sakura's talent for imaginary numbers was remarkable.
"Very impressive!"
"Alright, let's head home."
Takumi patted her head again, then took her by the hand and started walking toward the Tohsaka residence. Along the way, Sakura couldn't be happiershe clung to Takumi's hand even tighter.
As they walked, Takumi stopped. In front of him, a man in a suit, tie, and holding a cane appeared in the middle of the night. Seeing him, Takumi curled his lip in disdain, while Sakura instinctively hid behind Takumi.
The newcomer was none other than Sakura's father, Tohsaka Tokiomi. Everything was his fault.
Tohsaka Tokiomi stared at Takumi and Sakura in surprise, then warily pulled out a few gems.
"Who are you?"
"Where are you taking Sakura?"
"Was it you who did all that at the Matou house?"
Hearing this, Takumi was speechless.
"You talk too much!"
"Idiot!"
Without any hesitation, Takumi walked up and kicked him hard. Tokiomi had no time to reactTakumi pinned him to the ground and gave him a serious beating. Tokiomi tried to fight back, but Takumi sealed his magic power, leaving him as weak as an ordinary person. His magical attire didn't activate at all.
"Sakura, do you want to come over and kick your dad a couple times?"
Under the streetlight, Sakura stood there, not knowing what to do as Takumi beat up her dad. For a little girl, it was all a bit overwhelming.
Meanwhile, Tokiomi looked at Takumi in terrorhis face was bruised and swollen, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Brother Takumi let him go."
Sakura pursed her lips. She didn't want to kick her dad, but she did want Takumi to let him go.
Hearing Sakura, Takumi sighed. Alright, he'd leave the discipline for another time. With that, Takumi let Tokiomi go.
"Listen well. From now on, Sakura is my disciple! You'd better take good care of her. Otherwise, next time, I won't hesitate to tear down the Tohsaka house."
"Oh, and I've already given Sakura the Second Magic. Once she grows up, she'll master it in time. You know what to do, right?"
Takumi looked at Tokiomi with a smile. If Tokiomi knew that Sakura would eventually take her mother and sister to live with Takumi, who knows how he'd feel? The thought was genuinely amusing.
So Takumi started drawing a pie in the sky for Tokiomi. Sakura already possessed the knowledge of the Second Magic; once she became an adult, she'd truly master it. Hearing this, Tokiomi would definitely go crazy.
And sure enough, Tokiomi didn't disappoint. Even after being beaten up, when he heard Takumi's words, he was stunned, eyes filled with disbelief.
"Are you joking? The Second Magic??"
"You're bluffing, aren't you?"
"Hmph! The Second Magic is nothing specialI can handle the Third, Fourth, even the Fifth Magic! This world is far deeper than a frog at the bottom of a well like you can imagine!"
"Sakura, show him what you've learned. Let your useless dad see for himself."
Takumi released Tokiomi, letting Sakura demonstrate her ability.
Nodding, Sakura picked up a small cube and tossed it at a nearby utility pole. Silently, a chunk of the pole vanished, and the pole began to topple over. The surrounding streetlights instantly flickered and went dark.
Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Chapter 201: Why Are You Always Finding Bugs? Did You Make This Chat Group Yourself?
Tokiomi Tohsaka stared at this scene, utterly stunned.
Was this really something his own daughter did?
Right now, Tokiomi was in shockwas that imaginary number magecraft?
"Take good care of her. If you ever try to give her away again, I'll flatten your whole house."
"I honestly don't know what's wrong with your brain. Your own daughter is so talented, and you actually sent her off to that old geezer?"
"Wouldn't it have been better to just send her to the Clock Tower?"
"Seriously, you're such an idiot!"
After this scathing rant, Takumi lost interest in Tokiomi.
He went straight to Sakura's side and said,
"Sakura, I'm going to go now."
"If anything happens, remember to contact me at any time."
Takumi patted Sakura on the head, then faded away into the air, dispersing his consciousness across worlds.
Still, Takumi left a few safeguards inside Sakura, just in case something happened to her.
After Takumi had completely disappeared, Tokiomi finally climbed up from the ground.
Though he was battered and bruised, his face was full of excitement.
His daughter, it seemed, had stumbled into some incredible good fortune.
This was wonderful!
Sakura glanced at her father but said nothingshe just stood there quietly.
"Come on, let's go home!"
Tokiomi no longer cared about his injuries.
Right now, he just wanted to take Sakura back.
But Sakura wasn't paying attention to him.
Instead, her attention was on the group chat.
Matou Sakura:
[Thank you, Takumi-oniichan!!]
[Once I've got enough points, I'll bring Mom and Sister to immigrate!]
Little Sakura was so excitedshe'd already made up her mind.
When the time came, she'd just take her mother and sister and leave.
Takumi:
[Great! I'll be waiting for you.]
[Make sure you master all the knowledge I left you.]
[Come train with me when you're ready.]
Matou Sakura:
[Okay, Takumi-oniichan!]
Fujiwara Chika:
[What happened just now? Did you actually go to that world?]
Seeing the conversation between Takumi and Sakura, Chika was confused.
What was going on? Did Takumi really visit Sakura's world?
Takumi:
[No, not really.]
[I just sent a portion of my consciousness over there.]
[I discovered I could use the group chat as a medium to control a consciousness in another world.]
[So now, even when traveling between worlds, I don't need to spend points anymore!]
Takumi felt extremely pleased with this.
All he had to do was turn his Authority into a core, send it out, and then control it through the chat group.
From now on, if he wanted to visit another world, he wouldn't even have to spend any points!
Houraisan Kaguya:
[Can nobody stop you? Are you just obsessed with breaking bugs?]
Good grief, really, good grief.
Another bug?
Why does he always find these bugs?
Suoh Mikoto:
[That's a little outrageous.]
Miori Shiba:
[Is that even possible?]
Raiden Mei:
[Could we get Shiki to do this too?]
The group was in shockwas this really possible?
Mei was even wondering if they could get Shiki to do the same thing.
When it came to manipulating consciousness, Shiki was an expert.
Takumi:
[@Raiden Mei, it's just a thought.]
[She can't do it, since she's not in the group.]
If you're not in the group, you can't use Takumi's method.
So it was really just wishful thinkingnothing to consider seriously.
Mei was a little disappointed but didn't say anything else.
Even if it was possible, she didn't really have any reason to try it.
Takumi chatted with everyone in the group for a while, then flashed away from the moon and returned home.
His new Authority was done, and he'd even discovered a new bug in the processhe was feeling great.
