I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

No idea seemed noble to him.

No amount of exploration satisfied him.

No entertainment brought him peace.

Kotomine Kirei doesn't even know what his own sensibility and values ​​are.

There was nothing in the world that he could treat with such enthusiasm.

He had held out hope that one day he would receive divine guidance and be saved.

But now, he knew that not even God could save him.

Despair made him angry, and he continued to hurt himself in the name of self-cultivation and asceticism. However, the more he hurt himself, the stronger his body became!

By the time he realized it, he had already surpassed others and climbed to the top of the Holy Church - the Agent.

The aimless and empty feeling made him feel lost even when he stood at the top.

He took up the responsibility of being an agent and carried out the difficult task of eliminating heretics. A task that was a life-threatening task for others was just an ordinary purge for him.

Only after his wife's death did the dizziness and haziness make him make a mistake.

“Hmm—!”

His expression was as calm as death, and he seemed unaware of the serious injuries on his body.

The injury, which could be fatal in the eyes of ordinary people, did not affect his actions.

But he just stood there holding the black key (knife) without making any movements, as if he had accepted his fate and was waiting for the final attack from the heretic in front of him.

Before my eyes was a black fog nearly 3 meters high, like a siren.

Mind Flayer

A heresy that was born from the guidance of a powerful relic that remained in this world and influenced the human mind.

Even though it cannot affect Kotomine Kirei's mind, which is as empty as a bottomless pit, its powerful strength can still put an agent as strong as Kotomine Kirei into a desperate situation.

Kotomine Kirei originally thought that no matter how empty he was, he would still feel fear of death before he died, right?

Unfortunately, the fact is the same as when his wife died, he can only feel numb.

So, is there nothing in this world that can move him?

With this thought in mind, Kotomine Kirei threw the Black Key far away, stood straight in place, listened to the howl of the Mind Flayer, and waited for it to inflict a fatal blow on him.

A sharp howl.

The thick black fog turned into spreading spikes that tore through the air, creating gusts of wind that pushed away a cloud of dust to both sides.

Just as the attack was about to begin, everything suddenly froze.

Time stops at this moment.

Particles of dust hang motionless in the air.

This was a scene that shocked Kotomine Kirei, and the whisper that made his heart tremble burst out again at this moment.

[Human! You seem very empty. ]

"you are......"

[Based on your respect for me, I will grant you a gift! ]

The arrogance that transcends everything burst out vividly from these divine words.

[Now, do you who have never been afraid before feel afraid? ]

The interrogative tone startled Kotomine Kirei, and he immediately looked inward, and was shocked to find that his heart was beating strongly.

This is the strongest heartbeat I've ever had...

No.

impossible.

When did my heart become so alive?

Then, something even more shocking happened to him.

His facial muscles trembled and tensed, the hair on his body stood up, and his bone joints creaked as if he was in a fight.

This unprecedented strange feeling made him open his eyes wide.

This subconscious reaction to the threat only made him think of emotions that were impossible for him to experience.

fear!

"Is this a gift from God?" he murmured in ecstasy.

【Want more? 】

【Want to experience sadness, anger, or even joy? 】

The divine words were born with unparalleled charm.

"...I want to." Kotomine Kirei stuttered for a long time before he said a word with a trembling voice.

He didn't know what this emotion was that overshadowed the fear.

But he knew that if he wanted to "stay alive", he must not miss this opportunity!

He didn't know how long he had been waiting for this moment.

10 years, 20 years?

Or from birth till now?

Thoughts flowed, and at some point stopped.

Then, as if something had drilled into the top of his head, the intense pain brought by the strange feeling made Kotomine Kirei frown.

Even though he had endured harsh austerities that ordinary people could not bear, the pain he endured this time was the most severe.

It was like a thick and cold torrent was surging in the blood vessels, impacting the blood vessel walls and devouring the fresh blood.

The bones are groaning and the organs are mourning.

The whole person felt like falling into an ice cave, so cold that I couldn't even lift a finger.

Kotomine Kirei's teeth crackled from gnashing, the sound was so loud it sounded like his teeth were about to explode!

After the painful days that seem like years, happiness will finally come.

Suddenly, the entire body began to emit extremely high-heat flames with the heart as the center.

For Kotomine Kirei at that time, this was the fire of redemption and hope!

The cold body was burned, and the pain made him feel pleasure like a masochist.

Then, his body lost control, as if someone had taken away his control...

No, not a human, but a God!

It’s not taking away!!

"Great Supreme God of Fire! Please use my body as much as you want!!"

Kotomine Kirei's voice trembled with excitement. He stretched out his hands and devoted himself completely.

[Very conscious! It seems that you can still find some small toys in the garbage. ]

God's words have come to an end.

Kotomine Kirei, who was trembling all over, froze.

He was wearing black priest attire, and flames suddenly burst out from his hollow eye sockets as if they were about to flow out!

The deep-grooved lips curled up slightly, and Kotomine Kirei stared at the Mind Flayer in front of him with a sneer.

[You noisy bastard, you actually dared to replace the word heresy! Die! ]

After he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

With the crisp and pleasant snap of fingers, a flaming beast was born in mid-air with a roar.

As imposing as a lion, as strong as an elephant, and as intimidating as a tiger!

The flaming beast roared, causing ripples throughout the entire space, and the dust particles that were stopped in time were pushed far away again!

then.

The fire beast stared at the mind flayer with its burning eyes, making frightening movements that foreshadowed a predator.

The burning right front paw cut a scorched earth on the ground, and it bent its body and moved violently!

The speed was so fast that all you could see was the Hokage being dragged!

"boom……!"

The rising curtain of fire covered the entire sky and submerged everything visible.

And the heretic who could be called invincible in this world was destroyed in an instant.

Until it died, it had no idea what had happened.

As if it was intentional, its remaining consciousness heard a divine word in the fire.

[This is a dirty world full of garbage! Welcome your great gods! ! ]
