For Karin, Lin Luo held no particular sentiment; he simply wished for a young woman in her prime not to fall into ruin for some incomprehensible reasons… Though Karin was Kirei Kotomine’s daughter, and Kirei had indirectly died by his hand, strictly speaking, he and Karin were enemies.

Yet, Karin harbored no desire for revenge for her father, and Lin Luo did not look down on Karin because of Kirei. It was much like ten years ago, when he opposed Kirei Kotomine, yet never once considered targeting Kirei’s father.

He also held entirely different attitudes toward the Matou household and Matou Kariya.

Although sometimes hatred for one person could extend to those around them, even the entire world, he maintained a clear distinction between whom to kill and whom to save.

It was based on this principle that he enacted his previous series of actions… Had he truly been possessed by a demon and defiled Karin’s body, she would have had no path back, utterly abandoning the dreams and wishes she never noticed, and continuing to exist as a weapon specialized against demons along the original world line.

But Lin Luo did not claim her body; or rather, because Karin’s first exorcism target was him, she gained a chance to turn back… Only by realizing what she truly desired, by recognizing the resistance within her heart, did she have the possibility to fight against her destined fate.

Why do so many people descend further after their first misstep? It is because, at the beginning, they failed to realize their own importance. By the time they do realize it, it is already too late to turn back, leaving them only with a sense of reckless abandon. But if there is still room for salvage… no one willingly chooses ruin.

However, regarding Karin, all Lin Luo could do was this much; after all, he did not come to this world to be a savior. How Karin chooses to proceed in the future is entirely her own affair.

That night, Lin Luo did not proceed to the Tohsaka residence but instead returned once more to the hotel suite he had entirely booked. The floor where he stayed, while outwardly unchanged, had actually been transformed by him into a massive barrier… or perhaps, a formation.

His plan to control the entire Nasuverse was, in essence, a grand array.

This great array existed only within Fuyuki City, yet it encompassed the entirety of the Nasuverse, even extending into dimensional space and parallel worlds. If a battle were initiated in Fuyuki City, then any inherent mystery possessed by Magicians, Alchemists, Heroic Spirits, or the Twenty-Seven Ancestors would be absorbed by this grand array, then circulated throughout the entire Nasuverse via the array’s operation.

For this very reason, he secretly manipulated the Holy Grail War, tricking Gaia into drawing more participants in… the Root, the Counter Force, Magus Killers, the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, UO, Mages, Demon Slayers, True Ancestors, Demons, Vampires, and various other ability users… He did not need to analyze the cause and nature of these mysterious entities; he only needed to collect them.

In this way, he could gradually gain control over this world, because through the transformation of the array, all mysteries would become his data… much like a fanfiction author who collects numerous works to write a single book. Though each original work possesses a fixed worldview, after being reshaped by the author, those worldviews cease to be the primary structure and become mere components of the data. In the fanfiction he writes, there would be a new worldview, new rules, and new protagonists and stories.

If every book represents a world, then this is an entirely new world.

And that fanfiction author would become the god of this new world, dictating everything within it!

In essence, what Lin Luo was doing now was no different from writing a piece of fanfiction.

Of course, writing fanfiction involves no restrictions; the author can act as they please. Even if characters are inconsistent, the plot is weak, or the settings have bugs, it doesn't matter as long as it can be finished—it becomes a complete novel, a complete world. Whether it is well-received or slammed by readers is another matter.

But Lin Luo could not act as he pleased when trying to change the Nasuverse. Every step, every detail, had to adhere precisely to his initial conception. Even the slightest deviation could lead to his complete failure.

Therefore, he needed to remain within this array for an extended period, constantly monitoring its changes to guard against any unforeseen events.

Upon returning to the hotel, Lin Luo went straight to the previous room. Under his will, the room's environment instantly transformed… It became a vast expanse of white, all tables, chairs, and stools vanished. It appeared infinitely large and yet infinitely small, with faint light subtly flowing within.

This room now felt like a blank sheet of paper, as if anything could be inscribed upon it. In reality, this was precisely the case, for this room was the microcosm of the entire Nasuverse; whatever shape it took, the Nasuverse would follow suit… As for the faint lights, they were the mysteries Lin Luo had collected from the recent battle.

After a period of digestion, these mysteries had been completely absorbed.

However, after absorption, they needed to be reconfigured; this step was the most critical and the one most prone to error. It was like a river: as long as water flows from the source, it will naturally travel downstream to the vast ocean. But if someone intercepts or diverts the river midway, the water cannot reach its original destination.

Although no one in this world could deliberately sabotage Lin Luo’s plan, the possibility of an accident existed within the process itself. Thus, when the array reached this stage, he had to observe closely to make adjustments should any anomaly arise.

Lin Luo stood silently in the room, observing everything around him, occasionally shifting the flow of the mysteries. Besides him, Komeiji Satori was also present in the room. She remained silent and did nothing, sitting quietly on the floor, rhythmically kicking her small feet, watching attentively.

After nearly two hours, the transformation of the mysteries finally concluded. No incidents occurred in the middle, allowing Lin Luo to breathe a sigh of relief. With a thought, the room returned to its original state.

Komeiji Satori, who had been sitting on the floor, now stood up and walked to Lin Luo’s side, asking, “Is it over?”

“Yes,” Lin Luo nodded. “But this is just one small wave. It will require continuation once new mysteries are gathered, and the more mysteries there are, the more troublesome it gets.”

“Oh,” Komeiji Satori replied. Although she understood Lin Luo’s words, grasping the concept was impossible at her level of understanding. However, she possessed little curiosity and would not press on matters she did not grasp. For her, simply having this time alone with him was more than enough satisfaction.

“It’s very late now. We can rest,” Satori said softly a moment later.

Lin Luo looked at her and noticed a faint blush, mixed with shyness and tension, on her slightly reddened face. He immediately understood the implication of her words. He said nothing, merely smiling faintly, then reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and lowered his head, pressing his lips against hers.

Earlier, although he had not been physically intimate with Karin, he had certainly taken liberties. Coupled with the aphrodisiac scent released by Karin’s body, which he hadn’t actively resisted, the combination had long stirred his desire. Such a surge of passion that had to be abruptly halted was torturous, and now, faced with Satori’s subtle invitation, how could he refuse?

Komeiji Satori let out a soft moan as Lin Luo kissed her, her delicate body trembling slightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her toes, closed her eyes, and passionately returned his kiss.

Satori was wearing a thin, very loose nightgown that offered no resistance. Lin Luo smoothly slipped his hands beneath the hem, tracing upwards along her smooth abdomen and back, savoring the touch until he reached her slightly raised breasts. He kneaded them while greedily sucking the sweet nectar from her lips.

Under Lin Luo’s onslaught, the already aroused girl was utterly defenseless. Her body instantly grew hot, becoming limp as if all strength had left her, allowing Lin Luo to freely explore her curves, eliciting soft, involuntary hums.

Feeling the fiery, tempting body in his arms, Lin Luo could no longer suppress his desire. He immediately swept her up, removing her clothing as he kissed her, heading toward the adjacent bedroom.

By the time they reached the bedroom, Satori’s clothes were completely gone. Lin Luo gently laid her on the bed, his fingers gliding across her soft, pale skin, admiring the naked, delicate form before him as if appraising a work of art.

Although Satori had experienced intimate contact with Lin Luo before, it had been limited to touching and kissing. She could not withstand this gaze. She immediately felt overcome with shame, her face flushing crimson, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Seeing her cute demeanor only intensified Lin Luo’s desire. He quickly stripped off his own clothes, lay down, buried his face in the girl's chest, and unrestrainedly began to savor her breasts, which were neither large but possessed excellent shape and feel.

His hands were equally busy; one stroked her thigh while the other explored her private area, teasing without restraint.

This kind of teasing was not new to Satori. In fact, during their first meeting, Lin Luo had touched her everywhere and almost overpowered her. But that time, both were ruled by pure desire, lacking deep emotion. Now, it was different.

The physical desire combined with the affection in her heart, amplified by this teasing, made the sensation and impact more than ten times stronger than before. Moreover, Satori had never known intimacy. She instantly lost control, her body shaking violently, her mouth parting slightly to emit faint moans.

Her fiery, delicate body quickly slicked with perspiration under Lin Luo’s intense attention. Her already flawless jade-like body became even more lustrous and enticing. Even her faint natural fragrance intensified at this moment, becoming overwhelmingly provocative.

Struck by this visual and olfactory assault, Lin Luo gradually became immersed, kissing every inch of her skin, as if wanting to claim her entirely as his own.

In less than a moment, Lin Luo had kissed every part of the girl’s body. He then gently turned her over, grasped her full, soft hips, and lifted his head slightly, kissing her already moist nether region.

Even without deliberate teasing, this simple stroking and kissing brought Satori to arousal. Her lower body was slick
