Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

Page 122

"It's rare to be treated like this... Alright then, let me offer some advice."

"There's no need. If you consider yourself a virtuous person, then let me leave."

Shirou looked at the god indifferently, with an attitude that he would never trust any of the restraining forces, even if it meant death.

The god-man, slightly troubled, said, "Couldn't you have listened to my advice before you left?"

“Scammers always like to use false words to cover up their actions, so if you don’t want to be deceived, just look at what a person does, not what he says.”

Shirou faced the gods and men with an open and honest attitude, saying, "If you're not a liar, what you should do now is send me back, instead of continuing to deceive me with sweet talk here."

"Are they now completely being treated as scammers?"

"Yes."

"I am, after all, a god."

“I don’t know if you are God, but if you are the force of restraint, I will never believe any of the words of the force of restraint.”

Shirou's attitude was unwavering, and he was not swayed by the words of gods and men.

The twin swords in his hands gleamed with a sharp, cold light, ready to draw their blades if his opponent continued to deceive him.

"Okay, okay, you're really stubborn. I was wrong, I admit defeat, alright?"

"Then let me leave."

"Alright, alright... But aren't you curious why you look different from usual?"

In the seemingly candid moment between the god and the human, a bait was suddenly thrown at Shirou.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Shirou was indeed somewhat hooked for a moment.

After all, he was also very curious as to why he was in the form of the Heroic Spirit Emiya in this world.

"Curious, aren't you? You really are curious, aren't you?"

The god seemed to have guessed Shirou's reaction and looked very pleased.

But Shirou clearly didn't want to be fooled by this guy, so he swung his sword directly!

"You're scary!"

Faced with the sharp blade, the god was so frightened that he quickly retreated, and at the same time realized Shirou's unwavering determination.

He then said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll explain it to you. Simply put, this is a space of consciousness. Only the human spirit will appear here, not the human body. If you leave here, you will return to your original body, but as long as you come here, you will be in the form of a spiritual body."

"A spiritual body...does that mean my spirit is in this state?"

"Yes, I don't know why you became like this, but it's probably because there are two souls inside you."

"..."

The words of the god and man silenced Shirou.

Almanfy had previously described the state of having two souls existing within him, and now, with the confirmation of the gods and men, he realized that there was a high probability that the consciousness of the Heroic Spirit Emiya did indeed exist within him.

However, Shirou originally thought that he and the Heroic Spirit Emiya were two independent souls who would not interfere with each other.

But if the words of the god are correct, then it means that he has already been severely influenced by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, to the point that his spiritual body has taken on the appearance of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, rather than his own.

"It seems you've figured something out?"

Seeing Shirou's reaction, the god was quite curious. "Before we actually met today, I had been observing your situation, but I never expected that there would be such an amazing guy hiding in your body. The amount of karma on his body is even comparable to that of a god like me. It's hard to imagine that you haven't been completely assimilated by such a being, sharing the same body with him."

"I will never be assimilated."

Shirou shook his head, both in response to the gods and in making a decision for himself.

He believed he could overcome the consciousness of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and would never be consumed by the Heroic Spirit's soul. Although it was difficult, he was certain he would succeed.

"Your courage is strong, but reality often doesn't change according to your ideas."

"Do you, this so-called god, really enjoy making sarcastic remarks?"

"Uh……"

Once again, Shirou's retort left the god with an indescribable expression.

So he could only say quietly, "Anyway, you see, I know a little about your situation, so maybe I can give you some useful advice?"

"You mean you can solve the problem of my soul being corrupted?"

Shirou looked at the god, and for the first time, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

After all, he was truly aware of the corrosive influence of the Heroic Spirit Emiya's soul on him, to the point that sometimes he couldn't even tell whether he was Emiya Shirou or the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

While he can still accurately perceive himself now, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he can maintain his original intentions as time goes on.

If a higher-dimensional being could offer assistance at this point, it wouldn't be something he couldn't trade.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

However, the god decisively rejected Shirou's hopes.

"As a god, you're really useless."

"Are you trying to provoke me? You're trying to provoke me, aren't you?!"

Hearing Shirou's belittling remarks, the god became inexplicably agitated, but he quickly calmed down. "There's nothing I can do. If it were an ordinary soul, I might still have some options, but you're different. The other soul within you is too powerful. Its existence is comparable to some ancient deities in this world. Although it doesn't reach the level of the evil dragon god, it's still more or less a god-general level being. It's not something that can be interfered with casually."

"You can't interfere?"

"I can't do it."

The god silently waved his hand.

Shirou said nothing, but silently remembered the title "Evil Dragon God" in the other person's words, which gave him some understanding of the god-like existence in this world.

"In short, let me first give you my suggestion."

"Since you can't solve my soul's problems, I don't need to listen to your advice."

"Huh? It's just listening, it won't hurt you."

"No, I won't listen!"

Shirou's attitude was absolutely resolute.

The suffering that Emiya had endured at Alaya's hands was one he would never repeat.

Having experienced the Heroic Spirit Emiya, he understood very well that even if this so-called restraining force offered suggestions that were beneficial to you in the short term, in the long run, it would still treat people as tools.

After all, one should never imagine that something with a different structure, different morals, and even whose very existence of emotions is uncertain, could possess the same emotions as humans.

That's simply unimaginable.

Shirou had even made up his mind that if the god said anything filthy to him again, he would definitely take decisive action to become his enemy!

"..."

Seeing the surging aura emanating from Shirou.

The god realized that he had completely taken the wrong step.

He used the wrong approach to contact Shirou, so no matter how he tried to make amends, it was difficult to regain Shirou's trust.

But the god still didn't want to give up, and could only say with a hint of distress, "You don't want to believe me, but do you really think you can survive on the Demon Continent with your own strength?"

"The Demon Continent??"

"Yes, you were affected by that massive magical disaster and transported to the Demon Continent. This is a completely different place from the Central Continent. There's almost nothing to eat, and the number of monsters is on a completely different level. You may possess unique abilities and be able to communicate in different languages, but your common sense is vastly different. Are you really capable of handling this? Are you confident?"

"..."

They were actually teleported to the Demon Continent.

Shirou had some knowledge of the Demon Continent, so he never expected to be transferred to such an outrageous place, which could be described as the most dangerous place in the world.

And he brought Alice with him.

This can absolutely be described as a desperate situation.

Wait a minute, if that magical disaster was a transfer spell, doesn't that mean that everyone else in the Grerat family, except for myself, was also transferred to different places?

Fortunately, he had arranged for the Boreas family to take refuge in advance.

Even so, I absolutely cannot accept the possibility of anyone from the Grerat family being in danger...

Shirou suddenly felt anxious.

He longed to return to Buena village immediately and do everything he could to find his family.

Seeing Shirou's panic, the god revealed a smug smile of victory and slowly said, "Well, now do you want to hear my advice?"

"unnecessary."

Shirou's attitude remained cold and resolute.

This made Shen look on incredulously.

Aren't you worried about your family? What if my advice could help you find your lost family members?

"It's not that I'm not worried, it's just that I don't need your advice."

Shirou's attitude was cold, yet filled with an indescribable determination. "It is precisely to cope with this situation that I have been striving to become stronger. Everything I have done until today has been to protect them! So, even without your help, I can still do it!"

"you……"

Shirou's attitude left Shin utterly hopeless. He clearly hadn't expected anyone to be so unyielding, practically impossible to reason with.

Shirou, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

Because he had been preparing for this catastrophic event for a long time.

Since what happened to Miyu, he has been obsessed with power, because he knows that only by becoming strong enough can he protect everyone he wants to protect.

"Let me leave, god of men. If you consider yourself a benevolent deity, do as I say. Otherwise, I will regard you as an evil god, and I will never submit to you, even if it means death!"

Shirou made a definitive declaration to both gods and men with a cold and indifferent attitude.

Hearing his words, the god was completely at a loss and could only nod helplessly, replying, "Alright, alright, but don't regret it later."

"I won't regret it."

"Tsk tsk, you're really annoying. I feel like I'm about to hate you to death, Emiya Shirou."

I don't care about your opinion.

"...That's exactly what makes people hate it!"

The god sighed almost speechlessly, then gradually disappeared, leaving an echo behind.

Shirou soon realized that his consciousness was gradually returning to his body.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself surrounded by a pitch-black night sky, with a bright campfire burning in front of me, crackling and popping.

The red-haired girl, Alice, lay unconscious beside him, clutching her clothes as she slept.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the campfire, a slightly tall man sat silently, giving off a deep and oppressive feeling that was difficult to discern.

Most people would be very wary of such a person suddenly appearing beside them.

But Shirou did not show any signs of tension.

On the contrary, he showed no hostility toward the tall figure, at least not at all the tension he had felt when facing the god.

The reason is not purely intuitive.

While that factor played a part, Shirou's main concern was that since the other party had already appeared there before he woke up, it meant that the other party was fully capable of harming him and Alice while they were unconscious.

But the other party not only did not do that, but also brought him and Ellie to such a safe place and lit a campfire to keep them warm.

No matter how you look at it, the other person can't be a bad person.

Moreover, Shirou, as a partner of justice, always possesses a strange intuition.

It's like how Stand users are attracted to each other.

There are also similarities among partners of justice, which can attract each other.

Chapter 178 Even righteous partners can be attracted to each other!

The sky was filled with bright stars, and flickering flames.

The crackling sound of burning firewood reached my ears.

Shirou sat up from the campfire, trying his best not to disturb Alice, who was still fast asleep.
