Zongman: Evolution Paradise

So, what's the status of the Black Grail?

"How much longer can you hold on?" Archer asked Shirou Emiya, who had calmed down somewhat.

"I……"

Emiya Shirou's lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to answer the question.

Having lost three Heroic Spirits, the Black Grail within him has also regained most of its activity.

I reached out to touch my graying hair, but as soon as I touched it, a large piece tore off.

This means that the power of the Black Grail has once again begun to erode his physical body.

When his body completely decays, the Black Grail will return to this world, fulfilling the wish that was left unfulfilled ten years ago.

Emiya Shirou replied, somewhat breathlessly, "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow."

Just then, Jolyne on the other side dragged Kiritsugu Emiya out of the workshop and executed him.

The Black Grail's activity expanded once again, causing Shirou Emiya to nearly faint.

Hearing Shirou Emiya's screams, Archer clenched his fingers.

“I am Gilgamesh, Lancelot.”

"How exactly should we deal with this?"

"Gilgamesh's world-destroying sword? But Arthur is right across from us. Once the battle to protect the planet is triggered, her Star Sword will also be unsealed."

Should we go find other players?

"If he has such power, the other players should be no less powerful. Given Shirou Emiya's current state, if he can't secure an alliance, it's tantamount to handing his head over to the enemy."

Just then, Red A suddenly sensed something.

As he walked into the courtyard and looked up at the sky, the false canopy he had created with the Black Grail had changed.

The warm sunshine of spring is gone, replaced by a dark blue sky!

Pure malice condensed in the sky, and this brand new canopy was slowly descending!

"Not even a single day left."

Emiya Shirou said from behind him.

Chapter 285 The Sky Curtain

Why has the sky changed color?

A colleague's exclamation broke the heavy atmosphere of the workday. Seeing everyone in the office looking out the window, Tanaka quickly switched his game to the background and went over as well.

In the workplace of Fuyuki City, being too individualistic can easily lead to being bullied.

He was wondering what was so strange about the sky changing color, but when he leaned closer to the window, he discovered that the sky wasn't the gray he had imagined it would be because of rain.

"Bluish-black?"

Tanaka looked at the sky and said something strange.

In his memory, the sky over Fuyuki City had always been so stable.

The warm sunshine felt wonderful on my skin, and the perfect amount of clouds and rain.

But today it turned this color. I don't know why, but the dark blue of the sky gave Tanaka a very bad feeling.

Looking at his colleagues gathered together taking pictures, Tanaka looked away from his favorite female colleague, only to suddenly realize that the sky seemed to be falling.

Shouldn't the sky be in the heavens?

Then why did he see the top of the office building across the street about to be swallowed by the dark blue sky?

Tanaka suddenly stretched out his hands and looked at himself.

I'm a junior office worker, a bit overweight in middle age, and not very close to my parents. Yesterday at the party, I even saw the goddess and the section chief drinking together...

"Could it be... that I'm about to time travel?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, Tanaka felt that his former chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) spirit could no longer be suppressed.

The sky descended rapidly, and when the bluish-black color appeared outside the glass, the others noticed it as well.

Tanaka was still thinking about what kind of cheat he would get when he traveled through time when suddenly, a piercing cry and a painful scream reached his ears.

He recognized the voice; it belonged to the goddess he had always admired. Even when she was with the section chief, she never made such a pitiful sound.

Tanaka turned his head and saw his goddess leaning against the table with her belly split open.

A bluish-black infant tore through its flesh and opened its unconscious eyes.

"So it wasn't time travel, it was the apocalypse?"

"Isn't isekai (another world) all the rage these days?"

Tanaka thought to himself, puzzled.

Then his body fell backward, and before he even hit the ground, lividity appeared.

-

"It's started so soon."

Witnessing the dark blue-green ghostly aura enveloping Fuyuki City, Jolyne quickened her pace.

The arrival of the ghost realm signifies that the true form of the starving ghost has fully developed.

Rather than dealing with it first, Jolyne would prefer to eliminate Shirou Emiya.

After all, Shirou Emiya has three extra missions on his hands, and Jolyne would be very troubled if he were to die at someone else's hands.

Just then, a ghost child who had grown to the second stage appeared before them.

These creatures seem to crave magical life more than the flesh and blood of ordinary people.

Medea prepared a secret magic trick, which should not have violated their killing patterns.

That is, touching, hearing, and seeing.

Unfortunately, the essence of these ghost slaves is already close to that of the Root, and they are not affected by ordinary magic at all. In their bodies without self-awareness, what they see is what they see, and what they hear is what they hear. There is no possibility of being deceived by magic.

Then comes the slaughter. Magic is their favorite food, and no amount of retaliation can stop their immortal nature. Even the [small world surrounding the heavens] of the young Flash cannot stop the permeation of death.

Jolyne even suspected that the true form of the [Hungry Ghost] could kill Shirou Emiya, who was equivalent to the Black Grail.

Of the Heroic Spirits present, only Medea and Saber's Noble Phantasms could affect the Demon Slave.

The barrier set up by [Avalon] is impenetrable even to hungry ghosts, and the sharp blade of [Wanfu Bibing Biejie] is enough to temporarily disable them.

Under the power of the Ghost Domain, the Ghost Child appeared in front of Young Flash as if by teleportation.

Before the fingers and teeth even touched, a power that could kill everything began to permeate.

You Shan looked a little sullen. Why was she chosen from so many people?

As the [Time Zero] domain spread, Young Flash picked up Medea's [All-Encompassing Response] and stabbed it into the Ghost Child's neck, causing it to shut down.

Then, he took out a golden bag, put the ghost child into the bag, pulled out his Noble Phantasm, and in a matter of seconds, he had already dealt with the ghost child.

As the Ghost Realm unfolds, more and more ghost slaves are born under the power of the starving ghosts.

"Well done, Yushan."

Jolyne's praise made Kaguya Shinomiya, who was responsible for supplying magic power, a little unhappy.

"The number of demon slaves is increasing, and our condition is already poor. We can no longer release our treasures to seal these insignificant monsters."

"You Shan said in a very serious tone."

"The problem is that once these demon servants discover us, we can't get rid of them without sealing them away."

Those who possess magical powers are naturally more vulnerable to attack than the locals of Fuyuki City.

Jolyne: "It's alright, Shirou Emiya and Archer will come looking for us too... After all, if we wait any longer, the locals of Fuyuki City will be wiped out by the Starving Demons, so it doesn't matter whether he controls his Black Grail obsession or not."

Yukino Yukinoshita retorted, "You're making it sound like they're competing to see who can destroy Fuyuki City first."

That's exactly what I meant.

Jolyne countered, "Doesn't Archer himself admit that the world became the way it is because of him?"

"Master, he really came."

Holding [Nekome's One Eye] in her palm, Medea's Mystic Eye pierced through the surrounding bluish-black mist and she could already see Red A carrying a wheelchair.

Because of the [Demon Realm] covering it, the spatial concept of Fuyuki City has been completely disrupted.

One step might be opening your own door, the next you could fall into a septic tank.

Only with the power of the magic eye were they able to see the surrounding road conditions.

Unless they were devoured by the ghost slaves, the corpses everywhere looked as if they had been dead for many days. The presence of lividity and rigor mortis made them look like freshly opened original Chocliz.

"What have you guys done?!"

With Red Archer's roar, the fully unleashed [Spiral Sword] was launched towards Jolyne and the others.

"Lily, come back later."

Jolyne removed [Concrete Split] from Medea, while Medusa removed [Self-Sealing Dark Temple] and charged forward.

"Anna!"

"Gorgon!"

"Lend me your power!"

Medusa merges and sublimates once again, descending upon the battlefield.

Although this time there were no 10,000 Servants from Iskandar to provide Medusa with magic power, Archer and Shirou Emiya were already severely injured!

However, only two rounds.

Medusa's Pegasus crushed Red A's body and pinned him to the ground!

"Red A!"

Emiya Shirou looked anxiously at Lancelot and Gilgamesh beside him, but even with them, they couldn't possibly defeat the other side!

Chapter 286 Ge Mu Steve

"What exactly have you done?!"

Red A rose from the ground, but within moments his bones healed themselves under the magic of the Black Grail.

He was still struggling with how to deal with Jolyne, his enemy, but now that the dark blue demonic domain has enveloped Fuyuki City, he doesn't need to think about anything anymore. If he doesn't move now, Shirou Emiya won't need to control the Black Grail within him anymore; the demonic domain will simply slaughter all life in Fuyuki City.

Looking at Jolyne in front of him, Archer needs to know everything.

Jolyne looked at him strangely and said, "Didn't you already see it? There's a guy who's given up and isn't planning to play by the rules anymore."

Because Souichirou Kuzuki was unaware that there was another Shirou Emiya in this world, Kaguya Shinomiya, Ai Hayasaka, and Bond all lost their lives on the same day.

From Soichiro Kuzuki's perspective, only two factions remain in Fuyuki City.

One is him, and the other is Jolyne.

He definitely can't win in a head-on fight. If he doesn't overturn the table now, is he supposed to wait until Jolyne is right in front of him before he does?

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

Red A had only uttered half of his question when he suddenly lost his voice again.

Even if Jolyne told him how to solve the problem of the Hungry Ghost Realm, what difference would it make if he did?

Emiya Shirou, as a mere shell, will eventually decay today, and the fire of the Black Grail will burn everything, fulfilling the wish made ten years ago.

Fuyuki City is beyond saving!

Red A has always known...

I've always known that.
