Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Excited Smoke Mirror! Pale Death?!

Fate World

Fifth Holy Grail War Era

"…Gulp," Red A swallowed with difficulty.

Indeed, only by directly witnessing this world-splitting Noble Phantasm could one truly feel its power.

Standing before the screen, due to its characteristics, their true feelings were no less intense than Enkidu's. The only difference might be that they were mere spectators, while Enkidu was at the center of the storm.

Heaven knows how he managed to defeat this Oldest Fat Tiger back then!

And Smoke Mirror was absolutely right!

Why could he, an Oldest Fat Tiger, use a Noble Phantasm of creation?! This was utterly unreasonable! Was this Oldest Fat Tiger the world's favored son?!

"For such a monster to appear in the Holy Grail War, how can we even play?" Tohsaka Rin, her face pale, came to her senses and couldn't help but ask the equally troubled Red A, "Archer, if we encounter him, are we doomed?"

Although it was a question, Tohsaka's voice carried a hint of certainty. This was because, in her understanding, no one could stop such power!

If anyone could, it could only be the legendary Marshal of Magic!

"No," Red A shook his head.

To Tohsaka Rin's surprised gaze, Red A firmly stated, "We don't necessarily have to block it. We can get a step ahead and chop off his elbow while he's being cocky!"

…Fourth Holy Grail War Era

Tohsaka Family

"Hmph hahahahahaha! Kirei! No need to hide it. If your heart is shaken, then simply prostrate yourself in gratitude! Under the glory of this King and my dear friend, no one will fail to tremble!"

Gilgamesh's scarlet snake eyes revealed unrestrained delight as he clutched his nearly splitting abdominal muscles, his demonic laughter echoing through the church.

The Oldest Fat Tiger looked at the frantically scrolling bullet comments before him.

'I'm going full throttle, Gil!'

'Famous scene: Hand-cranked EA'

'It's well known that the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret. This is just a gas… no, it should be an oil and natural gas leak.'

'The last time two Noble Phantasms were unleashed was the last time.'

"Hmph hahahahahaha!" Gilgamesh laughed even louder.

Kirei Kotomine said nothing, his hollow eyes showing not even a ripple. This was not the pleasure he sought.

If one of them...

The Bible in Kirei Kotomine's hand seemed a bit heavy...

A Certain Magical Index World

The Zero Sanctuary of Necessarius, 'The Church of Necessary Evil'

"Enuma Elish (Sword of Separation), Chains of Heaven, huh~" The girl watched the screen with extreme excitement.

Fair skin, blue eyes, golden long hair about 2.5 times her height, folded twice and secured behind her head with silver hairpins; a pink bishop's robe accentuated her perfect figure.

Laura, the highest archbishop of Necessarius, rumored to be only eighteen, but her actual age was beyond imagination.

"To be able to summon all the legendary divine artifacts as Heroic Spirits," a dangerous glint flickered in Laura's eyes.

These Heroic Spirits were not strong in her eyes, but that was merely the world's limitation.

If the rules regarding 'Heroic Spirits' from that world could be replicated, how wonderful would it be then?

Even more interesting... what if the God Progenitor of the Roman Catholic Church was summoned? What would the Roman Orthodox Church do? Wouldn't those fellows be fuming with anger?!

"Interesting, too interesting~~"

The girl laughed so hard she swayed back and forth, her delicate body trembling wildly.

But... the Holy Grail, huh?

It wouldn't have to be the one stained with Jesus's blood, would it? That would be troublesome~

...The safest place in the world — Academy City

"The experiment is paused recently, you don't need to come for a while," the white-coated researcher explained.

"Mm," the white-haired young man, dressed in black and white stripes like a reformatory inmate, frowned but said nothing more, turning to leave.

Accelerator, the strongest existence in this superpower city, towering over millions!

But that was all.

A malevolent smile appeared on Accelerator's face; the terrifying scene created by Gilgamesh and Enkidu on the screen, he could also achieve, though it would take some effort.

But the two were different; whether it was the strange power contained within Gilgamesh's weapons or the legend of Enkidu's Chains of Heaven, he couldn't compare.

Terrifying computational power, comparable to a Tree Diagram, furiously calculated in his mind—

He wanted to calculate the feasibility of that ability; he wanted to become Level 6, to become true evil!!!

"Heh hahahaha... Hahahaha!!!" The young man laughed maniacally, twitching like Iori Yagami losing his mind.

["Boom—!!!" The explosive thunder was clearly audible even hundreds of miles away.

The sound of thunder boomed in the silent night sky, startling a little girl in the distant city.

"What's wrong," the sleeping girl opened her eyes, a hint of unease in them, but when she saw the family photo of three placed by her bedside, the girl found courage again.

Walking to the window, the girl tiptoed and peeked out slightly.

Boom—!!!

The indescribably collapsing scene in the void made the girl's pupils suddenly constrict, and her body trembled uncontrollably as she hid under the covers.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the thunder is so scary," the girl apologized with fear and pain.

As if an illusion, a wisp of black smoke flew out of the ceiling and through the window.]

[Chuunibyou Flash: "Foolish mongrel little girl, can't even withstand the King's mere aftershock?"]

[Enkidu: "Gil, don't be like that, I'm truly sorry."]

[Kamijou Touma: "Kamijou-san understands this very well, after all, disturbing the public in the middle of the night is truly painful."]

[Saten Ruiko: "Um, I think I saw a wisp of black smoke just now? Was it an illusion?"]

[King Hassan: "Heretic."]

[Smoke Mirror: "My oh my, this is truly something."]

...Fate World

South American Lostbelt

"Plague? War? Famine? Death?" The yellow-haired, sunglasses-wearing man, even more disheveled than a street thug, observed the black smoke on the screen with keen interest.

"No, if you think about it carefully, what's the difference between fighting one Pale Death and fighting four?"

War and Plague are warnings, Famine is followed by Death; the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse's authorities are all interconnected, so it's not surprising if one of them encompasses the authorities of the other three.

"To actually summon something this dangerous, my oh my, they really don't want the people of Snowfield City to live, do they?"

However, Smoke Mirror's lips curled into a smile; he, the God of War, loved to watch people bash each other's heads in~

...Matou Family during the Fourth Holy Grail War Era

Looking at the little girl on the screen, Zouken Matou's ugly, worm-like old face wrinkled.

On this girl, he instinctively felt a familiar aura; it wasn't bloodline, but rather... a familiar yet strange feeling.

"Is it this old man's illusion?"
