COTM: AEFVTCLI Chapter 29
🕑 Added 2025-09-06 03:04:00 +0000 UTCChapter 29: Tezcatlipoca Excitement! Pale death?!
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
“...Gulp,”
Red A swallowed hard.
Indeed, only by directly witnessing this world-shaping Noble Phantasm could one truly comprehend its power.
Standing before the screen, due to its unique properties, they experienced the events with a realism no less intense than Enkidu.
The only difference was that they were mere observers, while Enkidu was at the very heart of the storm.
Heaven knows how he managed to defeat that oldest King back then!
And Tezcatlipoca was absolutely right!
Why could he, the oldest King, use a creation-level Noble Phantasm?! This was utterly unreasonable! Was this the world's oldest king's favorite son?!
“How can we even play the Holy Grail War when such a monster appears?”
Tohsaka Rin, her face pale, came back to her senses and couldn't help but ask Red A, who also looked unwell,
“Archer, if we encounter him, are we doomed?”
Though a question, Rin's voice carried a hint of certainty. This kind of power, in her perception, was unstoppable!
If anyone could stop it, it could only be the legendary Zelretch!
“No,”
Red A shook his head.
Under Tohsaka Rin's surprised gaze, Red A stated firmly,
“We don't necessarily have to block it. We can get a step ahead and, while he's being full of himself, chop off his elbow!”

Tohsaka Villa
“Hmph,huahahahahaha! Kirei! No need to hide it! If your heart is shaken, then prostrate yourself in gratitude! Under the glory of this King and my dear friend, no one will fail to tremble!”
With scarlet serpent eyes showing unrestrained pleasure, Gilgamesh clutched his almost splitting abs, his demonic laughter echoing through the church.
The oldest King looked at the frantically flashing bullet comments on the screen.
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜
'I'm going full throttle, Gil!'
'Famous scene: Hand-cranked EA'
'As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret; this is just a gas... No, it must be an oil and natural gas leak.'
'The last time two Noble Phantasms were unleashed was the last time.'
。。。。。
“Hmph,huahahahahaha!”
Gilgamesh laughed even louder.
Kirei Kotomine remained silent, his hollow eyes showing not a ripple. This was not the pleasure he sought.
If one of them...
The Bible in Kirei Kotomine's hand seemed to grow heavier.

Puritan Zeroth Sanctuary, “Necessary Evil Church”
“Ea, Chain of Heaven, huh~”
The girl watched the screen with extreme excitement.
Fair skin, blue eyes, and golden hair, nearly 2.5 times her height, folded twice and secured at the back of her head with a silver hairpin. A pink bishop's robe perfectly accentuated her figure.
Lola, the highest leader of the Puritan Church, was 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 Lola's eyes.
These Heroic Spirits weren't strong in her eyes, but that was merely a limitation of the world.
If they could replicate the rules concerning 'Heroic Spirits' from that world, how magnificent would it be then?
Even more interesting...
What if they summoned the Founder of the Roman Church? How would the Roman Orthodox Church react? Wouldn't those guys' noses be twisted out of shape?!
“Interesting, too interesting~~”
The girl laughed, doubling over as her delicate body trembled wildly.
But... the Holy Grail, huh?
Could it be that only the one stained with Jesus's blood would work? That would be troublesome~
。。。。。
The Safest Place in the World – Academy City
“The experiments are temporarily paused; you don't need to come in recently.”
The white-coated researcher explained.
“Mm,”
The white-haired boy in black and white stripes, resembling a reformatory inmate, frowned but said nothing more, turning to leave.
Accelerator, the strongest existence in this Esper City, towering over millions!
But that was all.
Accelerator's face twisted into a malicious grin. The terrifying scene caused by Gilgamesh and Enkidu on the screen, he could also achieve, though it would take some effort.
But the two were different. Neither the strange power contained within Gilgamesh's weapons nor the legend of Enkidu's Chain of Heaven could he compare to.
His terrifying computational power, comparable to the Tree Diagram, furiously crunched numbers 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 boy laughed maniacally, twitching like Iori Yagami in a fit of madness.

『 “BOOM—!!!” The explosive thunder was clearly audible even hundreds of miles away.
The thunderclap boomed through 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 by her bedside, the girl found courage.
Walking to the window, the girl stood on tiptoes and peered out slightly.
“BOOM—!!!”
The indescribably collapsing scene in the void made the girl's pupils constrict sharply. Her body trembled uncontrollably as she dove under the covers.
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, 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. 』
『 。。。。。』

【 Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): “Foolish mongrel little girl, can't even withstand this King's mere aftershock?” 】
【 Enkidu (Type-Moon): “Gil, don't be like that, I'm really sorry.” 】
【 Touma Kamijou (A Certain Magical Index): “I completely understand that, after all, disturbing people in the middle of the night is really painful.” 】
【 Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): “Um, I think I just saw a wisp of black smoke? Was that an illusion?” 】
【 King Hassan (Type-Moon): “Heretic.” 】
【 Tezcatlipoca (Type-Moon): “Mattaku, this is truly something.” 】
【 。。。。。】
〜Type-Moon World, Golden Sea of Trees, Nahui Mictlān Lostbelt〜
“Plague? War? Famine? Death?”
The yellow-haired man in sunglasses, looking even more disheveled than a street thug, examined 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 all four?”
War and plague are warnings; famine is the next step to death. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse each have interconnected authorities, so it's not surprising if one of them has absorbed the authorities of the other three.
“They've even summoned something this dangerous, Mattaku, they really don't want the people of Snowfield City to live, do they?”
However, Tezcatlipoca's lips curled into a smile. He, the god of war, loved to see people bash each other's heads in~

Matou Residence
Gazing at the little girl on the screen, Matou Zouken's ugly old face, like that of a worm, wrinkled.
On this girl, he instinctively sensed a familiar aura, not of bloodline, but... a familiar yet strange feeling.
“Is it my imagination?”

( Translator-kun: I can't help but use the word 'Mattaku' rather than the English one when it comes to Tezcatlipoca, like how Jojo says 'Yare. yare'. )
