Chapter 292 - EVP Chapter 286: Kuzuki Steve

"What exactly have you done?!"

EMIYA got up from the ground, but in a moment, the bones on his body healed under the magic power of the Corrupted Holy Grail.

Originally, he was still struggling with how to deal with Kisaragi Rin, his enemy. Now, it was settled. When the dark green ghost domain enveloped Fuyuki City, there was no need to think about anything, because if they didn't act quickly, there would be no need for Emiya Shirou to control the Corrupted Holy Grail within him; the Starving Ghost's domain would slaughter all life in Fuyuki City.

Looking at Kisaragi Rin in front of him, EMIYA needed, and had to, know everything.

Kisaragi Rin looked at him strangely and said, "Haven't you already seen it? Someone just gave up and isn't planning to play by the rules anymore."

Because Soichiro Kuzuki didn't know that another Emiya Shirou existed in this world, when Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, and Bond all lost their lives today at the same time.

From Soichiro Kuzuki's perspective, there were only two factions left in Fuyuki City.

One was him, the other was Kisaragi Rin.

They definitely couldn't win in a direct fight. If he didn't flip the table now, was he going to wait until Kisaragi Rin was in front of him to do it?

"There's a way to solve..."

EMIYA had only spoken half of his question when he suddenly fell silent again.

Leaving aside whether Kisaragi Rin would tell him how to solve the Starving Ghost's domain, even if she did, and even if he solved everything, what then?

Emiya Shirou, as the vessel, would eventually decay today, and the great fire of the Corrupted Holy Grail would burn everything, fulfilling the wish from ten years ago.

Fuyuki City could no longer be saved!

EMIYA had always known... always known this.

Even without the arrival of these players, Fuyuki City's false sky curtain would eventually transform into an all-consuming Sky Flame Funeral one day.

And he, the instigator who made this world like this, what right did he have to speak again?

"To obtain this false daily life, I sacrificed an entire world line."

"But even for such a false daily life, I wanted to delay the fall of the sky curtain a little longer."

"I wanted to delay it, I wanted to delay the moment the Corrupted Holy Grail erupted, at least to let them be a little happier in this city for a bit longer."

EMIYA wanted to activate Unlimited Blade Works, but the presence of the ghost domain made it impossible to deploy his Reality Marble.

Looking at Kisaragi Rin, whose expression was as usual, the hero of forging iron bowed at this moment.

"My existence is indeed a mistake."

EMIYA said, "This world cannot be saved anymore. If possible, I hope you can..."

The moment the word "can" left his mouth, EMIYA suddenly exploded!

Literally exploded. Combined with his skin color, EMIYA's upper body scattered into the sky like caramel-flavored popcorn.

On a tall building in the distance, Steve Rogers pushed up his rectangular glasses and softly said, "Bang."

Beneath his feet, a seemingly corporeal Hydra spread towards Kisaragi Rin.

This power was a dull red, and a bloody smell wafted even before it got close. Compared to the small snake that anyone could take advantage of in the previous battle, this Hydra reached a thousand meters.

Steve Rogers stepped on the Hydra, approaching the battlefield like a ghost.

He smiled, tilted his head, and asked, "How strange, the people in this city are almost all dead, and you two are still chatting here?"

The next moment, two sword lights appeared on his neck and waist, dividing him into three sections.

Having accomplished all of this with the Divine Speed of Time Zero, Gilgamesh, who had returned to her original position, was stunned.

The sword-shaped Noble Phantasm she had instantly unleashed in her hand had actually turned black.

Like a contamination, the Noble Phantasm, forged from history and legend, began to dissolve.

"Don't be in such a hurry."

Steve Rogers' divided wounds instantly healed.

"Medea, don't look at him with your Mystic Eyes!"

Medusa suddenly covered her eyes and said.

The moment Steve Rogers appeared, she wanted to petrify him with Cybele, but the instant her Mystic Eyes penetrated his body, a terrible sense of contamination spread through the connection of her Mystic Eyes!

In the previous battle, all five Steve Rogers were petrified and sealed. The fact that he dared to face Kisaragi Rin now naturally meant he had a way to deal with the Mystic Eyes of Petrification.

Looking at this Hydra Captain, who was completely different from before, Kisaragi Rin frowned and said, "I also think EMIYA is too long-winded. In this situation, he still acts like he can chat for another thirty minutes about his last words, whitewash himself, and resolve his regrets with some mysterious confidence."

Hearing this sharp comment, EMIYA, who had also reformed under the power of the Corrupted Holy Grail, paused his breathing, then stood up casually and said, "I'm not trying to whitewash myself, nor do I have any last words. What I didn't finish saying was just that I wanted to make a deal with you."

Unfortunately, no one was paying attention to him now. Steve Rogers saw his recovery and said in surprise, "Eh? He didn't die?"

Although he said that, there was no expression of surprise on Steve Rogers' face.

Kisaragi Rin observed the rectangular glasses on his face and asked seriously, "Are you Soichiro Kuzuki or Steve Rogers now?"

Strictly speaking, Kisaragi Rin hadn't yet seen what the player "Soichiro Kuzuki" looked like.

Previously, Steve Rogers had used his flesh reconstruction Ability to impersonate his Master, but now this Human Torch's face wore rectangular glasses that were extremely ill-suited for him.

Combined with the dark green mist, Steve Rogers gave Kisaragi Rin the feeling that he was a different person.

"Hmm... half and half, I suppose."

Steve Rogers said honestly.

Kisaragi Rin retorted, "Kuzuki Steve?"

"Calling me that is indeed not a problem."

Steve Rogers' personality was stable, making him seem like someone many would want to talk to.

The next moment, Saber's Excalibur, Medusa's Pandemonium Cētus, and Esdeath's Glacier Cavalry suddenly erupted and swept towards Steve Rogers.

The magic power generated by the three attacks even caused a ripple in the space of the ghost domain, but facing such an onslaught, Soichiro Kuzuki merely took out his shield Noble Phantasm.

And the shield... naturally didn't block it.

No matter how much you change, can a transformed Noble Phantasm unlock a second form?

The shield shattered, and Steve Rogers allowed himself to be exposed to the torrent of magic power.

When the attack stopped, starting from the bones, flesh surged like a tide, and Steve Rogers, who had been reduced to ashes, reconstructed himself once again.

Although he had lost the Ability to split, his regeneration Ability seemed even more bizarre than before.

"This immortality?"

Like Gilgamesh a short while ago, Steve Rogers also had an arrogant expression of "I'll just stand here, and you still can't kill me," which made Kisaragi Rin somewhat unsure how to react to him.
