I am the magnetic field maniac

But he seemed to ignore the pain, or the crown of thorns on his head made all the pain seem non-existent to him.

But it was not so easy for Emiya Kiritsugu, who was being dragged by him. The closer he got to the top floor of the Thorn Tower, the more intense, indescribable panic spread in his heart!

It was as if at the top of that tall tower, there existed something that would subvert his thoughts.

Kotomine Kirei did not give Emiya Kiritsugu any chance to negotiate. He climbed to the top of the spire, and strangely, no one had stopped him so far.

Perhaps it was because Kotomine Kirei himself was the Pope of the Kingdom of God, or perhaps it was because - the great Lord was so kind and casual.

Even if his followers blasphemed him, he didn't care, because this was the Lord's mercy, wasn't it? After all, being humiliated and blasphemed by his followers was not the first time for the Lord.

Kotomine Kirei, dragging Emiya Kiritsugu, climbed for a long time. The thorns entangled around his body pierced his body under the priest's robe, and soon they finally reached the top of the spire.

But there was nothing on the highest platform of the spire.

As the residence of God, there are no magnificent temples, no singing angels... It is nothing like the beautiful and flawless heaven that their missionaries preached.

All there is here is a huge thorn mountain formed by the interweaving of endless thorns.

At the top of the mountain, there is a figure sitting upright on a stone seat.

His face could not be seen because his whole body was tied up by countless thorns under the seat... but there was no doubt that from his gentle breathing, it could be seen that he was still alive.

A living...Holy Spirit!

"vomit!"

Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't control his instinct and fell to his knees and vomited!

He looked at the figure on the top of Thorn Mountain. Countless wails and countless painful messages passed by his ears!

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was filled with horror, because he could sense that the direction these painful sensations were pointing to was the figure on the Throne of Thorns!

"Yes, have you felt it too?" Kotomine Kirei sat cross-legged, looking at the pale-faced Emiya Kiritsugu, pointing at that figure and said lightly...

“That is our Lord, our great Son, the most perfect savior in the hearts of us Catholics.”

"Because we believe that only by enduring suffering can we be qualified to ascend to heaven...so the Lord gave us the opportunity to exchange suffering for miracles. And because He could not sit idly by and watch us suffer, He chose to bear our pain, just as the Bible says."

"He is a great man, isn't he? He is so indulgent to us, the unworthy believers. He is a great Lord, a great object of worship."

When Kotomine Kirei said this, there was no reverence in his tone, and one could even hear the strong sarcasm in his tone.

Such an attitude does not look like that of a devout believer at all, let alone a Pope who shepherds the sheep for the Lord!

Seeing such a twisted miracle, what else could Emiya Kiritsugu say? What else could he say?

To denounce the source of this miracle, to criticize the root of this distortion and suffering?

But this Son of God was bearing the suffering of the people! Everything he did was just because his believers wanted it... and as God, he responded to the believers' pleas!

So, should these believers be condemned?

Has such a great life been twisted into what it is today by using incomprehensible and painful beliefs?

I don’t know. At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya doesn’t want to and can’t find a target to attack!

The more he looked at the figure on the throne of thorns, the more Emiya Kiritsugu could feel the pain personally - and this was even more so for the Son of God who was bound to the throne voluntarily!

The whole world, the suffering of all Catholics, every knife strike from those crazy and self-abusing believers, every torment that bombarded themselves, turned into a torrent of pain that poured into his body.

What a horrible torture this is?

This is definitely something that not even the toughest man in the world can endure... It is a torture that cannot be described by any words or descriptions of torture!

But Emiya Kiritsugu could feel that this great man accepted all of this without complaint or regret... because Emiya Kiritsugu could hear his screaming cries in his ears.

He could feel and see a blond man with a ponytail, who had lost his lower body and was suffering immense pain! And what echoed in his heart was only pity and pleading for the world.

Lord, please let me share the suffering of the world at this moment!

Shocked, Emiya Kiritsugu could only describe it with these words at this moment - he thought that the magnetic field lunatics were all extremely crazy guys, but what did he see? He saw an existence that could be called absolutely great even among the great men!

"But don't think of him as too great." Kotomine Kirei said in a slightly frivolous tone.

"Our great Son of God absorbed pain from us and at the same time gained his special power. The power of pain and the power of magnetic field are the sources of our painful miracles."

"And Emiya Kiritsugu, you know what? For us, the great Lord is an indispensable thing... But for the Lord, we believers are also important to him."

"Because without us, the invincible power of the Lord would not exist."

98. Betrayer

It was born out of the desire to break a dream, it was formed by the concepts of the world, it bears the pain, it bears the sin, just in the hope that the world will no longer suffer from sorrow and pain.

Why did Jesus Christ, who was born from such pure thoughts, become the distorted appearance he is today?

Why did it become something so ugly and crazy that is even worse than the devil in the Bible?

No, it's not his fault, it's the believers, these extreme, crazy believers who think they have interpreted God's will and then fanatically carry it out regardless of the consequences!

The Lord did not say much about the explanations of these believers. He accommodated the answers of his believers... because perhaps he is so partial to his own people.

A holy son who loves his people, a great man, a god... who was twisted into an evil form by his own believers.

No, that's not right. How could Jesus Christ be evil? He never did anything bad since he was born.

He wanted to kill Kuangfeng and Tianzun because these two people deserved to die.

He rewards the monks who do penance for his coming because he is so kind and tolerant.

Isn't Jesus Christ today more kind and pure than in the past?

But - isn't unconditional kindness just like a parent who dotes on his or her children too much?

When love reaches its extreme, it is actually no different from the most horrible evil.

He seemed to represent the objective laws of something like religion. There would always be a great beginning, followed by malicious distortion, and then reform and end.

But if the God of the religion of benevolence is unwilling to go against the wishes of the children, then even the appearance of the God himself... will become distorted because of the twisted wishes of these willful children.

But no matter what, this Holy Son who loves the world has been absolutely "kind" until now.

He responded to the expectations of his followers and accepted their suffering completely. He built the towering final wall and protected everyone who prayed for it.

He accepted all the pain, felt all the goodness, and protected all those who were willing to follow him.

No one can be kinder than him. In this world, you will never find anyone with a greater magnetic field than him!

Because no matter how benevolent a person with a strong magnetic field is, it is difficult for him to be so kind to ordinary people.

Jesus Christ went even further than this. He not only sacrificed his life to protect his people and believers, but he also chose to take on their suffering.

But...even without such thoughts, Jesus Christ himself is also drawing "strength" from his believers.

"Faith, legends, stories, these were once factors that determined the power of the Heroic Spirit. But our Lord is purer than those illusory things."

Kotomine Kirei looked at Jesus Christ, who was tightly bound and unable to move on the throne of thorns, and said quietly...

“Every bit of our pain will be channeled to the Lord through faith, and likewise, our pain will strengthen the Lord’s magnetic field power, the power of His pain.”

"At the same time, as long as we still exist, as long as we can still cause pain, the Lord's power is endless. In their words, the Lord who possesses us may not become stronger because of our equal pain... but because of our vastly different pain, he will have an infinite flow of power!"

"This……"

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression immediately became extremely solemn. Having followed Bai Jingtian for a long time, he certainly understood some "magnetic field terminology"...

Unlimited power flow, what does that mean?

That means the endless power of the magnetic field itself... means the output can exceed the original power level, and also means that cell reorganization can completely change from an "active skill" to a "passive skill"!

To describe it in a game way, it's like fighting in someone else's fountain. No matter how high your damage is, unless you kill them with one strike, the opponent's recovery speed may be higher than your damage!

"However, it is a pity that our Lord does not deliberately use this power." Kotomine Kirei chuckled.

"He is just like a silent statue, silently bearing our pain here, and that's it. The only way to restrain this power is-"

He paused, looked into Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, and said happily and jokingly...

"Kill all of us, the Lord's believers!!"

It was an expected answer, but even if it was an expected answer, Emiya Kiritsugu felt cold in the face of such a cruel result.

"Then why do you want to help us? Isn't this the world you desire?"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Kotomine Kirei and asked in a deep voice...

He couldn't see what Kotomine Kirei's purpose was...

Even if he is just a scum who craves to see others suffer as he said...then shouldn't this world be a paradise for him?

"Hahaha, Emiya Kiritsugu, you really don't understand at all."

Kotomine Kirei laughed and shook his head, then said with a sigh and contempt...

"Why did I think of you as my own kind? Oh, you think I am a person who is happy when seeing others get hurt. I don't deny that... But I don't think that the world under the shroud of this "Lord" in front of me is worthy of my love."

Kotomine Kirei silently clenched his fists and said in a suppressed and low voice...

"When I was surrounded by suffering, I did feel happy. But soon, I realized that this place was just a kind of hell for me, a beautiful hell..."

"They no longer feel pain because of suffering. On the contrary, they are happy because of suffering. The pain they feel, the separation they accept, and the only thing they feel after having their things taken away from them is happiness!"

"Because all pain will turn into happiness, then where is the pain in this world? Such a happy paradise, to me, is not beautiful at all! Not beautiful at all!"

"Fuck it! Everywhere looks so happy. Those people worked so hard for happiness, and what they got was happiness. Damn it, they feel happy, but what about me?"

Having said this, Kotomine Kirei suddenly covered his head and roared, looking so depressed that he seemed like he was about to go crazy!

Yes, for a hellish joke lover like Kotomine Kirei who seeks the suffering of others, a place full of happiness, even distorted happiness, is enough to make Kotomine Kirei feel suffocated.

It’s not that he can’t stand being dull, but being in this high-intensity, twisted world, even Kotomine Kirei would be sick of this damn place!!

Emiya Kiritsugu silently looked at this priest, this Mapo priest who was full of joy and happiness - although everything he said was hard to accept, he could understand it.

To put it bluntly, for a sadist, the fun lies in seeing the other person being abused by you with an unwilling look on his face.

If the other person accepts your abuse with a look of happiness and regards it as entertainment, then for a sadist, there will be no pleasure at all.

So in the end, S and M are not a couple at all!

"So I hope you can reveal the news here." Kotomine Kirei stopped his madness, calmed down, and said to Emiya Kiritsugu indifferently...

"I want to see our Lord die more than anyone else in the world, and my companions must also want to see him die - it is more friendly to us to live in the Bible than to see him come in person."

Having said this, Kotomine Kirei directly took out Emiya Kiritsugu's confiscated telegraph machine from under his large priest robe, pulled it out in the slightly rippling imaginary waves, threw it to Emiya Kiritsugu and said with a smile...

"Then tell your emperor everything you know."

Emiya Kiritsugu hesitated for a moment, then typed out the information he had obtained here on the telegram.

It's not that he hadn't considered the possibility that this was a trap, but he still personally thought that Kotomine Kirei didn't need to go through such a big detour just to send out a false message.

His anger was real, and this mentally ill priest of pleasure was truly in pain for this happy paradise.

And even if we take a step back, he has nothing to lose in this situation, and for Bai Jingtian.

Emiya Kiritsugu believed that even in the worst situation, the other party would be able to make rational judgments.

According to the secret code sequence, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly sent out all the known information.

As he put down the telegraph, Kotomine Kirei suddenly spoke...

"Emiya Kiritsugu, what kind of person do you think Bai Jingtian, to whom you are loyal, is?"

Emiya Kiritsugu did not speak, nor did he prepare for any counterattack.

The condition of this body was so bad that he didn't even have the ability to activate his inherent time control.

"In your eyes, he is a calm and kind-hearted monarch who is absolutely decisive. But in my eyes, he is actually a very impulsive guy."

"Mother-in-law, yes, according to those magnetic field guys, he is a mother-in-law! !"

Kotomine Kirei suddenly burst into wild laughter, and the next moment, Emiya Kiritsugu saw the black key coming out from the center of his chest!

"Your intelligence has been sent out, and I will announce to the public that you will be publicly executed for being a spy who refuses to change his ways and accept God's grace!"

"Hahaha, do you think the monarch you are loyal to would be willing to take the risk to come and save you?"

“…” Emiya Kiritsugu just looked at Kotomine Kirei silently, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth… and this crazy priest also stopped laughing, and then - on his forehead, an eyeball broke through the skin and slowly fell out.

"I am the first martyr, and perhaps for this reason, the miracle granted to me by my 'great' Lord is 'foresight'."

Kotomine Kirei's low laugh

“Although I am not sure, I can see the results, the future, and the possibility of making a choice.”
