Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

The Emiya household's estate was a large courtyard purchased from the Fujimura Group, consisting of several wooden single-story pavilions that surrounded a small courtyard, roughly equivalent in size to a traditional siheyuan.

It had once again become evening, and as the sunset glowed, Shirou Emiya took out his keys and opened the door of the old house by himself.

There was no electricity, nor light, so the old house seemed eerily quiet, while Shirou Emiya sighed as he walked towards the direction of the kitchen, sliding open the partition door to reveal a kitchen that was tidy but eerily empty.

"Senior, are you looking for me?"

A shadowy human figure seemed to cast itself upon the kitchen window, its silhouette resembling that of Sakura Matou, as did the voice.

But the shadow intermittently rippled.

"Sakura, stop this."

Shirou Emiya heaved a sigh.

"Is this what you wanted, Senior?"

The tone of Sakura Matou was somewhat calm.

"Yes."

"But it's too late to stop now, everything is already too late."

The voice of Sakura Matou rendered Shirou Emiya somewhat silent; he had spent the day using himself as bait.

He had also visited Taiga Fujimura, learning that according to the Fujimura Group's statistics, the number of missing persons in Fuyuki City was increasing, and there had been sightings of people suddenly disappearing.

The bizarre manner of disappearance, and the previous capture of Saber, bore striking similarities.

If all of this was Sakura's doing...

Shirou Emiya thought of his soft and sweet junior's usual demeanor in contrast with the current developments, causing a pang in his heart.

Why has it come to this!

The decay of the Holy Grail was too swift; the evil of this world and the environment of the Abyss were a perfect match, which led to things going awry before Shirou Emiya could undergo Sakura Matou's adult baptism.

Their relationship had not yet intensified to such a degree, and this balance, coupled with what Red A had told him, ultimately led him to make his own choice.

"Then, can you tell me where you are?"

Shirou Emiya no longer concealed his purpose, knowing vaguely that if he asked, his junior would tell him.

Sure enough, the shadow paused for a moment before suddenly breaking into laughter.

"Are you coming to stop me, Senior...?"

"Yes."

"Then come on!"

Suddenly, a dark circle appeared beneath Shirou Emiya's feet, and he began sinking into it. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

The dark, ominous aura caused his face to contort with struggle, but he neither resisted nor activated the last resort he carried, instead closing his eyes and allowing the dark waters to engulf him completely.

When he next appeared, he was in a huge cavern.

Sakura Matou, Black Rider, and Black Saber, three beauties, stood atop a stone platform, surrounded by pillars that supported the cavern.

"Senior, once I activate the Holy Grail, everything will end, and all problems will be solved."

Sakura Matou's face now bore black lines, akin to those of Black Rider and Black Saber.

After seeing the situation at hand, Shirou Emiya no longer hesitated and crushed a gem in his hand.

The next moment, with a distortion of space, Tao Yu and the others were teleported en masse to the scene!

Yet Sakura Matou appeared utterly unaffected by this change.

"Haha! Thank you for bringing the vessel to me, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome. It seems the ritual can be completed today."

Sakura Matou's face was full of an evil smirk, showing she was almost completely corrupted.

Upon seeing Illyasviel and several Heroic Spirits, she stuck out her tongue and licked her full lips, looking as if she had spotted a delicacy.

And as soon as Tao Yu arrived, he sensed that the shadow that had appeared before was indeed emanating from Sakura Matou.

While she still appeared human, in Tao Yu's Perception, she was like a twisted Demon!

"Ugh, unpleasant memories."

Mr. Men had reached his time node again, and Treya's hand hurt, signaling the last Command Spell had dissipated.

"After dealing with this problem, I should be leaving."

Mr. Men, regaining his calm, smiled gently.

"You have my thanks. If there's an opportunity, I will surely help you."

Tao Yu made a promise, even though he didn't understand why Mr. Men had held expectations for him before, from the time he was pulled from the Sword of Rupture incident to being sent to confront Gilgamesh, he acknowledged this assistance.

While it didn't make him risk his life carelessly, if there truly was an opportunity to help in return, he would do what he could!

"Hehe, let's first deal with the problem at hand, which might be more troublesome than you imagine. This is likely the initial summoning site for her, so even if I send away a Heroic Spirit, she will summon it back quickly."

"Right."

Tao Yu also nodded gravely, knowing Mr. Men would handle protection simply, but it wasn't going to be as straightforward as the last time.

Sakura Matou was not a fool.

At this time, Red A let out a slow breath.

"Remember what I told you."

"Okay!"

The opposing sides were not strangers to combat; indeed, there was no prelude this time as the battle began immediately!

Hashirama Senju brought his palms together, summoning enough vines within the relatively enclosed giant cavern.

At the same time, Uncle B, who had several lives at his disposal, let out a wild roar as he charged toward Black Saber.

Rider summoned a black Pegasus, bringing a tide of black fire rushing towards everyone.

This time it wasn't Mr. Men's teleportation, but Red A who leapt out, instantaneously pulling Black Rider into his own Innate Barrier with him, the two of them seemingly vanishing from the world, leaving behind only a ripple in space.
