Chapter 435: Returning Home Carrying.
Young Sakura, and the Female Gilgamesh's Doubts About Seito and Nyaruko?
....
A human heart is extremely fragile.
If Seito only possessed power at the mortal level, he wouldn't be able to purge the main Crest Worm from Sakura's heart without risking her life.
However...
Seito was a peak Main God! For a Main God, curing young Sakura was effortlessly simple.
Zip, zip~~
Before their very eyes, the hair of the young girl in Seito's arms shifted, returning from corrupted purple to its original shiny black. The parasitic Crest Worms inside her frame were instantaneously vaporized into nothingness by his divine authority.
Young Sakura felt as though she were floating in a warm, gentle embrace. A soothing breeze seemed to touch her soul, filling her heart with an overwhelming sense of warmth and security.
"Big... Big brother..."
The light slowly returned to Sakura's dark eyes. She let out a soft, sweet voice.
"You're awake, Sakura." Seito gently stroked her soft black hair.
The comforting aura of his divine presence gradually restored her battered mind. Luckily, humans on Planet Type-Moon possessed a unique affinity for magic and mystery; otherwise, an ordinary mortal on Earth exposed directly to a Main God's raw divine presence would have suffered immediate soul collapse!
Normally, even after being rescued, a child who had endured long-term nightmare tortures would suffer severe mental trauma. Yet under the soothing influence of Seito's divine energy, Sakura's psyche was being mended step by step.
"This...!!!"
Zouken Matou gasped in sheer horror!
He could clearly feel that every single Crest Worm he had planted inside Sakura was dead! In a single instant, his entire life's work had been wiped out! Before Zouken could even process what was happening, absolute panic seized his soul!
"Nyaruko, wipe out the Matou household. Aside from Kariya, it doesn't matter if everyone else perishes!" Seito turned his head to Nyaruko.
The only decent person in the Matou family, Kariya, was destined to meet a tragic end in this Grail War anyway. As for the rest of this corrupted family, Seito felt zero guilt about erasing them.
"No problem!" Nyaruko grinned playfully, her power erupting in an instant!
BOOM!
Before Zouken Matou could even utter a word, he, along with the entire Matou estate, Byakuya, and Shinji, was reduced to gray ash!
Looking at the completely barren, flattened plot of land, Seito held young Sakura close and turned to Nyaruko: "Let's call it a day here and find a place to rest."
"Mhm!" Nyaruko nodded.
The two floated toward the urban center of Fuyuki City.
Along the way, Seito kept checking on young Sakura's condition.
"Big brother... are the bugs really gone?" Sakura asked timidly, burying her face slightly against his chest.
She was terrified of insects. The mere thought of them brought back overwhelming trauma!
"They're completely gone," Seito offered her a gentle headpat.
The young girl's skin was soft, and she felt remarkably fragile in his arms.
"Would you like to live with big brother from now on?"
"Yes~" Sakura nodded eagerly.
She wanted to go home, but remembering how her biological father had handed her over to Zouken Matou, her eyes dimmed. Children's thoughts were simple: Sakura believed that even if she returned to the Tohsaka household, she wouldn't be happy. Staying with Seito was the best outcome she could ever dream of.
"From now on, your name will be Sakura Tohsaka again," Seito said with a warm smile.
The surname Matou should fade into complete obscurity! Seito had no intention of letting Sakura bear that cursed name any longer.
"Mhm!" Sakura's eyes sparkled with joy. Restoring her original name made her feel truly happy inside~!
Traveling at high speeds, the two Gods and the young girl arrived at a high-end hotel in no time. They booked a suite with two comfortable beds. Seito brought Sakura into the bathroom to wash away the dirt and grime.
Meanwhile, Nyaruko flopped onto her bed, pulled out her smartphone, and casually resumed watching Kamen Rider.
Half an hour later.
After bathing Sakura, Seito carried the freshly washed, sweet-smelling girl back into the main room.
"Seito, what are we doing tomorrow?" Nyaruko looked over from her screen.
"Didn't you suggest visiting Planet Type-Moon in the first place? Why do you keep asking me?" Seito teased with a light chuckle.
"Hehe~ It's just that I don't have a plan!" Nyaruko grinned cheekily.
"Tomorrow, we'll take Sakura shopping,"
Seito set the young girl down on the bed.
Although Sakura's mental state was recovering, taking her out to shop, play, and unwind was the top priority to heal her childhood scars.
Nyaruko had zero objections to the plan. After a brief chat, everyone turned in for the night. Sakura fell asleep almost instantly—tonight was the very first night in a long time where she could sleep peacefully without nightmares.
The night passed without incident.
Meanwhile, at the Tohsaka Estate.
Tokiomi Tohsaka had just used a Command Seal to forcibly recall the King of Heroes back to the mansion.
He had no choice—he couldn't risk Gilgamesh revealing his ultimate trump cards so early in the war. But as a result, Tokiomi was currently enduring another harsh tongue-lashing from the arrogant Archer!
Seeing Tokiomi bowing reverently and offering flattering words, Gilgamesh's anger gradually subsided.
"Were those two deities from last night Gods from the Age of Gods?"
Gilgamesh recalled Seito and Nyaruko. Both were entities she had never encountered before!
During the Age of Gods, Gilgamesh had slain numerous deities, so her memory of divine beings was extensive. Yet she held absolutely zero records regarding Seito and Nyaruko!
"My King? Do you require my assistance?" Seeing the female Gilgamesh lost in thought, Tokiomi asked cautiously.
Hearing his voice, Gilgamesh looked down at him coldly.
"Go investigate records on Eastern deities! Specifically, Gods who command the power of Space!"
Although she had only glimpsed Seito briefly, Gilgamesh was exceptionally familiar with the nature of his aura—it was pure spatial authority! Furthermore, Seito's appearance resembled an Easterner.
Gilgamesh possessed limited knowledge regarding Eastern Gods from the Age of Gods, so she ordered Tokiomi to look into it.
Taken aback by the request, Tokiomi bowed respectfully. "Understood, my King."
"Dismissed." Female Gilgamesh waved her hand dismissively, and Tokiomi quickly retreated from the room.
The next day, around noon.
Fuyuki City.
Unlike the quiet, blood-soaked battleground of the night, the city during the day was bustling with life and vibrant activity.
