Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Even without the arrival of these players, the false canopy of Fuyuki City would eventually turn into a celestial funeral that incinerates everything.

And what right does he, the one who started this world, have to speak out?

"In exchange for this false sense of normalcy, I will sacrifice the entire timeline."

"Even in this illusory daily life, I want to delay the fall of the sky a little longer."

"I want to delay, I want to delay the moment the Black Grail erupts, so that they can at least be a little happier in this city."

Red Archer wanted to activate [Unlimited Blade Works], but the existence of the Demon Realm prevented the Reality Marble from being fully extended.

Seeing Jolyne's calm expression, even the iron-smelting hero bowed down at this moment.

"My existence is indeed a mistake."

Red A said, "This world is beyond saving. If possible, I hope you can..."

As soon as the word "can" was uttered, Red A suddenly exploded!

The literal meaning of "exploding" combined with his skin tone made Red A's upper body resemble caramel-flavored popcorn, creating a shower of petals in the sky.

On a distant high-rise building, Steve Rogers pushed up his square-framed glasses and said softly, "Bang."

Beneath his feet, a hydra-like creature, seemingly formed, began to spread toward Jolyne.

This power was a dark red color, and a bloody smell wafted from it even before you got close. Compared to the small snake that everyone could bully during the previous battle, this hydra was a thousand meters long.

Steve Rogers, riding on Hydra, approached the battlefield like a phantom.

He smiled, tilted his head, and asked, "That's strange. Everyone in this city is almost dead, and you're still chatting here?"

The next moment, two sword lights appeared on his neck and waist, cutting him into three pieces.

Having accomplished all of this at lightning speed ([Time Zero]), Young Flash, who had returned to his original position, was stunned.

The sword-shaped Noble Phantasm that had just been released in her hand had turned black.

Like pollution, the treasures forged from history and legend began to dissolve.

"Don't be in such a hurry."

Steve Rogers' dislocated wound healed in an instant.

"Medea, don't look at him with your demonic eyes!"

Medusa suddenly covered her eyes and said.

The moment Steve Rogers appeared, she wanted to petrify him with [Kubler], but the instant the Mystic Eyes pierced through his body, a terrible sense of contamination spread through the connection of the Mystic Eyes!

In the previous battle at Hogwarts, all five Steve Rogers were petrified and sealed away. Now that he dares to face Jolyne directly, he must have already found a way to deal with the [Petrifying Eye].

Looking at this Hydra captain who was completely different from before, Jolyne frowned and said, "I also think Red A is very long-winded. What kind of occasion is this, yet he still has this strange confidence that he can talk for another thirty minutes to give his last words and clear his name, and make up for his regrets."

Upon hearing this sharp comment, Archer, who had also been rebuilt under the power of the Black Grail, paused for a moment, then stood up nonchalantly and said, "I don't intend to clear my name, and I have no last words. What I didn't finish saying is just that I want to make a deal with you."

Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention in his current situation. Steve Rogers, seeing his recovery, exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? He's still alive?"

Despite saying that, Steve Rogers showed no surprise whatsoever.

Jolyne observed the square-framed glasses on his face and asked seriously, "Are you Souichirou Kuzuki or Steve Rogers now?"

Strictly speaking, Jolyne has yet to see what the player "Katsuki Souichirou" looks like.

Previously, Steve Rogers used his ability to regenerate flesh to impersonate his Master, but now the Human Torch's face is adorned with square-framed glasses that seem completely out of place.

Combined with the bluish-black mist, Steve Rogers gave Jolyne the feeling of a completely different person.

"Hmm... let's split it in half."

Steve Rogers said honestly.

Jolyne countered, "Steve Kuzuki?"

“There’s really nothing wrong with shouting it that way.”

Steve Rogers has a stable personality and seems like the kind of person many people would like to talk to.

The next moment, Saber's Excalibur, Medusa's Pandemonium, and Esdeath's Glacier Cavalry suddenly erupted and swept towards Steve Rogers.

The magical power generated by the three attacks even caused ripples in the space of the Demon Realm, but in the face of such an offensive, Kuzuki Souichirou simply took out his shield treasure.

And the shield... naturally failed to block it.

No matter how you change, can the Noble Phantasm you transform into unlock a second form?

With his shield shattered, Steve Rogers was left exposed to the torrent of magic.

When the attack stopped, flesh and blood surged forth from the bones like a tide, and Steve Rogers, who had been reduced to ashes, was reconstructed once again.

Although he has lost the ability to split, his regenerative ability seems even more bizarre than before.

"This immortality?"

Like the young Flash not long ago, Steve Rogers also had an arrogant expression that said, "You can't kill me even if I stand right here," which made Jolyne somewhat unsure how to face him.

Chapter 287 Evil God

Previously, when Jolyne and Medusa fought Steve Rogers at Homura Academy, they gained the upper hand using [Black Flash] and [Petrifying Eyes], without ever revealing Medusa's [Slaughtering Undead Blade], which could sever immortality.

Today, after a brief respite following the exposure, the opening of the Ghost Realm reignited the fourth battle of the day. Steve Rogers, of course, could not possibly know of the existence of the Undying Blade of Slaughter.

"Based on the results of Gil's attack just now, this guy has gained the ability to corrupt Noble Phantasms."

"It's still a passive ability that doesn't require a physical reaction; it only requires contact."

"So, should we let Medusa kill him directly with the Undying Blade of Slaughter, or should we keep this secret for now and use it as leverage later?"

Jolyne was deep in thought.

Since they had decided to go to war with Souichirou Kuzuki, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka had naturally discussed some information about the Hydra captain with him during a recent break.

For example, the Hydra captain completed the splitting of the last four individuals yesterday.

Only one has appeared here so far; the other three haven't shown up yet!

He was unaware that Esdeath had already used up her [Time Stop] opportunity for the day, perhaps fearing that a simultaneous occurrence of [Time Stop] would allow her to seize the opportunity and end the battle in an instant.

Perhaps other individuals are plotting something elsewhere in the Ghost Realm.

Perhaps the other individuals simply found a golden house to hide in, waiting for Jolyne, who "doesn't know" how to counter the [Hungry Ghost], to be killed by this immortal ghost, before emerging to clean up the battlefield.

There are four enemies, but the Undying Blade of Slaughter only has one chance to kill.

Steve Rogers didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he and Jolyne exchanged a smile.

Then, with a slight twitch of his lips, the attack that had just killed Red Archer flew towards Jolyne.

Of course, it was impossible to hit. The Masters had been within the domain of Young Flash [Time Zero] the whole time. The moment Steve Rogers attacked, Young Flash's [Small World Surrounding the Sky] had already been opened.

And they also saw what Steve Rogers' new attack methods were.

It turned out to be a tooth.

When the tooth landed on the [small world surrounding the heavens], the overflowing black energy, like a pack of wolves, was filled with a cold and evil aura.

"You can't kill me."

Steve Rogers said with a smile.

Jolyne smiled and said, "Gil."

In the next instant, Jill had already unleashed her incredible speed and charged toward Steve Rogers.

As before, Steve Rogers' signature ability, [50/50], cannot be replicated in a one-against-many situation. He did not try to dodge the speed boost, attempting to ignore his injuries by relying on his immortality.

But Young Flash was different; what she wielded was a terrifying blade that resembled a scythe.

Indeed, the blade of liberation is an indestructible slaughter!

Medusa has only one weapon, that's true, but there's also one in the Gate of Babylon.

Steve Rogers, since you have other individuals who haven't appeared yet, and I also need to hide Medusa's power, then let Young Flash carry out this slaughter!

With the [Blade of Slaughter] firmly in hand, when the Noble Phantasm met Steve Rogers, the young Flash easily severed his head.

Having learned from the previous experience, Gilgamesh the Younger focused some of his attention on his Noble Phantasm this time.

Within the realm of [Time Zero], she witnessed how her Noble Phantasm had been corrupted.

No, it's not skin.

Meat, no.

It's Steve Rogers' blood!

Looking directly at his blood, Young Flash suddenly had the illusion of being in the black mud of the Black Grail.

When the Noble Phantasm came into contact with this blood, it was immediately and irrevocably contaminated.

Fortunately, the [Blade of Slaughtering the Undead] had already fulfilled its purpose before it became corrupted.

"Immortality... has vanished..."

Having just entertained this idea, Steve Rogers didn't have time to dwell on his anger at being proven wrong.

The next moment, Esdeath's ice pillar pierced through his body, extinguishing all life with its low temperature!

-

"That's the power of Capricorn."

"One person died already?"

Steve Rogers was somewhat amazed as the Hydra creatures around him continued to devour the crowd.

"The opponent possesses a special treasure that can annihilate the attribute of immortality."

Steve Rogers on the other side said, "It's good that it's been exposed. That Noble Phantasm was corrupted by Kaku while it killed us, so it won't be effective in the subsequent battles."

On their bodies, the blood vessels writhed like tiny snakes.

Even with the dark blue-green mist of the Ghost Realm covering it, the smell of pollution was still very obvious.

Skill - Capricorn - lv10

Description: Humans are the spirit of heaven and earth, and the Jie people eat humans.

Effect: Devour everything he has. Of course, if you fail to devour him, he will replace you.

Special Effect - lv5 - Soul Stealing: Reduces the impact on one's own soul when consuming the souls of others.

Special Effect - lv10 - Bloodborne: Cannibalism can continuously purify your bloodline. After reaching a certain level, your blood can connect with an evil god named [Karma].

Bonus: None

Conditions of use: Cannibalism

Fuyuki City is full of ordinary people; there are no powerful individuals for Steve Rogers to devour.

However, he didn't unlock this skill for the initial effect, but for the special effect - Bloodborne.

Before using this skill, Steve Rogers had already secretly devoured quite a few people.

When Souichirou Kuzuki unsealed this skill and took over Steve Rogers' body, he had already sensed the presence of [Kuji] in his blood.

The reason why Souichirou Kuzuki took over Steve Rogers' body instead of letting Steve Rogers contact the evil god himself was because it was an impossible thing to do.

Hmm... the evil god is a bit shy.

This is the Fate world, but not the world where [Capricorn] actually exists.

If you want to eat a certain number of people, can you contact an evil god to transfer power across the world for you?

Isn't this nonsense?

Having acquired this skill and upgraded it to the maximum level, Kuzuki Souichirou and this evil god had completed several relatively pleasant transactions. In order to contact Him in this world, Kuzuki Souichirou had no choice but to log in himself.

Fortunately, this guy didn't mistake Souichirou Kuzuki from the Fate world for a scam call.

After a moment's hesitation, and after completing a series of transactions, [Capricorn] began to spread power to the world through the special effects-Bloodborne medium.

In an instant, Steve Rogers became a semi-vessel of a descending evil god.

His immortal life force is merely a byproduct; every part of him has been horribly corrupted by the blood circulation. Even the slightest contact with him would instantly render even a legendary Noble Phantasm ineffective.
