Chapter 136 You... Are from Another World?
"Hanami already told me about it. You even have that weapon capable of suppressing [Domain Expansion], right...?
The sword blade like the sun, the weapon that can reverse time, and now this short dagger that dispels Cursed Techniques... When you explained the origins of these weapons, the [Vow] definitely took effect.
It doesn't matter even if you merely believe yourself to be true; the rules of the world don't lie... So, are Spirits, and even true Gods, things that exist in your world?"
Saying it was his turn, the monk (Pseudo-Geto) did not rush to attack. Instead, he stood there, seemingly composed, inquiring about Emiya's origins.
"Perhaps Jujutsu High wouldn't care about so much information, but I've already investigated nationwide, and nowhere can I find or explain your origins.
If you're not a Cursed Spirit that was somehow born looking almost identical to a normal human, it can only mean that your origin is outside the cognition of this world.
In that case, not only the issue of these special weapons, but even those unheard-of Cursed Techniques and Barriers can be explained..."
Excluding individuals with genuine intellectual deficiencies, no one is a fool.
Comrades certainly wouldn't maliciously hound Emiya about his origins; after all, there are many hidden Sorcerers who emerge from the countryside. As long as they adhere to the rules, Jujutsu High rarely pursues matters of origin, and even if someone becomes a Curse User, they are simply eliminated.
But for 'Pseudo-Geto', who noticed the abnormality on Emiya and holds anticipation for all novel things, letting such an unknown factor exist before him is absolutely unacceptable.
So, he put in considerable effort on this matter, from possibly similar Cursed Techniques and origins to the traces of Emiya's first appearance in the Jujutsu world; he missed nothing.
He even physically investigated the forest where Emiya first woke up.
When all possibilities are ruled out, the remaining impossible one becomes possible—that the opponent's origin is actually in a completely new world outside his cognition.
Modern science still cannot prove whether other worlds truly exist, but thinking about it another way: unnatural phenomena like Cursed Spirits and Cursed Techniques have appeared, so how could a new world be something unbelievable?
"Even if I admitted it, what would you plan to do? Report me to the Higher-Ups?" Emiya countered.
Saying that an interdimensional spy has arrived here?
Because the historical composition of the two worlds is almost identical, and the timeline only differs by over ten years, Emiya felt no sense of disparity from world transfer.
If it were the 'other world' from a comic book scenario, he would have reason to worry about his future.
Emiya didn't feel there was any difference between the two worlds. Every ordinary person is just the most ordinary kind. He simply wants to eliminate these Cursed Spirits, which are useless except for causing destruction.
"I see, my guess was correct?
But since you show no different emotion about this, it means you also arrived in this world unknowingly. The matters here should have nothing to do with you.
I would very much like to invite you to join us, but if you are truly determined to follow your own path, then I will have no choice but to... correct this error."
The monk, in just a few words, excluded Emiya from the matters of this world and spoke sanctimoniously, claiming he too could judge the world.
But in Emiya's eyes, any world where ordinary humans live is indistinguishable.
People feel happy and joyful from small acts of kindness, and they also feel endless sorrow from the passing of relatives and friends... The ones who separate these people have never been themselves, but people with ulterior motives, like 'Pseudo-Geto'.
"Speaking of errors that need to be corrected, isn't there one right in front of us!"
Emiya was about to forcefully mobilize all the Cursed Power in his body to try and resist the effect of the [Anti-Gravity System] on his clothes and weapons when a large object suddenly shot out from Mechamaru's shoulder, landing precisely between him and the enemy.
"[True Shadow Style - Simple Domain].
Now, Mr. Emiya! The forcibly deployed [Simple Domain] won't hold out for long!"
[Simple Domain], a secret Cursed Technique created by Sadatsuna Ashiya in the Heian period. It was a technique formulated to protect disciples from Curse Users and Cursed Spirits during the golden age of Jujutsu; it is the 'Domain' of the weak, intended for self-preservation 'within a Domain'.
To prevent his Mechamaru Zero from instantly becoming a moving target under the enemy's Domain, Kokichi Muta even developed this Cursed Technique device capable of storing the [Simple Domain], specifically for neutralizing genuine Domains.
It has no other purpose than to briefly neutralize the effect of a Domain.
"That's excellent... leave the rest to me!"
Emiya clearly understood that the current Mechamaru had only reached the Special Grade level in a short time due to massive accumulation. Dealing with ordinary Cursed Spirits is fine, but it would be difficult to be effective against such a cunning opponent.
However, merely neutralizing the Domain is very helpful to him.
Knowing that the source of the [Simple Domain] was that device, the monk immediately summoned a Cursed Spirit to strike its location, but Emiya was already charging further ahead.
Bang—Bang—Bang!
Every Cursed Spirit was subjected to the Cursed Technique of gravity, allowing them to exhibit destructive power far exceeding their own, effectively being consumed as disposable ammunition.
Fortunately, Emiya's Rule Breaker could always accurately hit these Cursed Spirits, dispelling the Cursed Technique effect while also directly exorcizing them.
After Emiya's modifications, the effect of this Noble Phantasm may no longer be as powerful as the original, but in his hands, it is many times stronger than before.
Of course, its original owner, Medea, would probably not be able to adapt to this novel usage.
"This is troublesome, this ability...!"
It is usually the monk who uses his elusive abilities to push others into a tough fight. When has he ever been countered and pressured to this extent by an enemy?
Feeling extremely annoyed, he simply stopped targeting the [Simple Domain] and instead aimed his Cursed Technique at the base of the entire embankment, directly below the interference Domain.
Boom————————!
As a structure built to prevent floods and regulate water flow, its sturdiness is beyond doubt, but it could never withstand this incessantly applied gravity.
As cracks began to appear at the base of the embankment, followed by water spilling out and the structure rapidly collapsing, the entire structure above tilted noticeably, threatening to plunge into the lower part of the lake.
With the stability of the structure itself compromised, the efficacy of the [Simple Domain] was naturally reduced to its lowest point.
"Mr. Emiya!"
This type of deployable Domain device is difficult to manufacture. Even though Kokichi Muta had worked hard in secret for a long time, he only had one completed product for now.
Seeing the embankment fall, Mechamaru Zero immediately stepped forward, grabbing the edge of the massive structure, attempting to use mechanical strength to prevent or delay its collapse.
If the flood were to completely breach, it would be much harder to restrict the enemy's movements.
"How annoying."
The terrifying machine in the eyes of an ordinary person was just a large toy in the monk's eyes.
Casually summoning a few Cursed Spirits to fly toward it, attacks with terribly enhanced gravity easily pierced Mechamaru Zero, whose hands were still on the embankment, completely severing one of its arms from the main body, and the embankment continued its unstoppable descent.
Simultaneously, Emiya, swinging the chain and dagger, successfully charged to the monk's front, throwing the high-speed spinning chain and weapon in his direction.
"The Cursed Technique effect cannot be directly applied to this weapon, but anything with a physical form must be restricted somehow... What?!"
The monk merely swung his wide sleeve, instantly coiling the flying short-handled weapon within it. But the moment he clearly saw the blade, his eyes widened.
This appearance was not the weapon he had seen moments ago.
"Since you already know I can project weapons, why would I only use one!"
The moment the monk snapped his head back, the other end of the chain, connected to Rule Breaker, was already whirling, stabbing toward the bizarre tree behind him.
No matter what this thing is, it is ultimately just a physical entity materialized by a Cursed Technique.
As long as it is such a thing, Rule Breaker can eliminate it entirely!
