Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 73

"Ahh----, ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh!!!"

A blood-curdling scream echoed through the Matou mansion.

Byakuya's face is a mess of tears and snot, his eyes darting back and forth in fear.

The priest from the Church has decimated the endless swarm of insects with ease.

Like a demon, the assassin penetrated the Matou residence, effortlessly destroying all of their Bounded Fields.

"What do you want--? What do you want, Kirei?" Zouken is held captive by the demonic assassin, his voice quivering.

"I heard you're seeking immortality," Kirei replied with a sly smile. "So, I've come to offer you the secret of immortality."

"What secret of immortality?" Zouken was momentarily intrigued, but his many years of experience made him wary. "Why are you offering me this secret, and what exactly is it?"

"I am a priest, acting in the name of God. It is my duty to be His angel," Kirei explained. "As for what it entails, you'll find out in due time."

Kirei slowly advances toward Byakuya and Shinji, who are huddled in the corner, with 100 one-body assassins in tow. The killing intent in Kirei's gaze is palpable, but a hint of curiosity still lingers on his face.

"I've heard that you became the head of the Matou family just to enjoy its wealth. Is that true?" Kirei asked in a soft tone.

"No, no!" Byakuya cried out in desperation.

"Really?" Kirei's expression of interest faded, replaced by an aura of killing intent.

"Yes, yes!" Byakuya wailed, his face a mess of tears and snot. "I was just greedy for everything in the Matou family. I'm just a bastard, a worthless piece of trash. I don't care about magic or magecraft. I just wanted everything, without having to earn it. I just wanted it all for nothing."

"Is that so?" Kirei's tone remained gentle. "Interesting. Can you provide proof of your family's assets? Give it to me, the messenger of the gods."

"I surrender! I surrender!" Byakuya frantically handed Kirei the land deed.

Kirei didn't even bother to look at it, tossing it into the nearby sea of fire and watching as it burned to ashes.

"What schemes are you hatching, you lapdog of the church?" Zouken sneered.

"Everything is the best choice," Kirei replied simply.

He then commanded the hundred-in-one Assassins to raze everything in the Matou family.

With a smirk, Kirei turned to Byakuya and said, "As the head of the family, you make quite an entertaining sight, burdened with debts and problems. I eagerly anticipate relishing every moment."

The fire of destruction illuminated Kirei's face, casting an angelic and demonic smile upon his lips. He had discovered the true meaning of life, filling the emptiness within him with joy.

It was the joy of destroying the precious things that others held dear, of forcing them to live on, unable to escape their misery. This realization brought Kirei a sense of fulfillment that he had never felt before.

Ah, this feeling...

This — is the voice of God.

Kirei departed with a hearty laugh.

Yet, the most delightful surprise was yet to come.

The first was the stunning, divine embodiment of black mud, and the second was the presence of something incredibly enjoyable in Gilgamesh that promised to bring Kirei immense delight.
