Chapter Twenty-Three: What Do You Want?
"I'm looking for something that answers my questions." Araya Zonglian said.
He took a few steps forward, his tall body feeling oppressive.
"I ask you, Asagami Maha, what do you ask for?" Serious and serious tone.
"—Knowledge and Strength." Mayu replied.
"Asami, where to seek?"
"—Find it from this world."
"Asa, where is your goal?"
"—Freedom beyond the world."
"So, alas, we're not the same kind of people." Araya Zonglian sighed. Both in terms of method and purpose.
"So, Araya, what are you after?" Mayu asked rhetorically.
"—True wisdom."
"Araya, where to pursue?"
"—only in your own heart."
"Araya, where is your goal?"
"—The end of the spiral of contradictions in this world."
Araya Zonglian's attitude towards human beings is inherently contradictory and confused. He wanted to save everyone, but he learned that he could never save everyone, and he began to question whether human beings were worth being saved because of the various evil deeds he saw.
"Is it the end of the spiral of contradictions? However, since it is a spiral, that is, an infinite embrace, where does it end? Mayu continued to ask.
Human beings themselves are inherently a contradictory whole. Collect the vortex of death, decipher the origin of humanity, and search for the root cause in order to clarify the value of humanity or put an end to the ugly suffering of humanity.
"There is no one in the worldly realm, but if it is at the root, it will definitely exist." Akuya Zonglian replied.
The vortex of roots is the "cause" of everything, the beginning of all kinds of phenomena. Since there is only a cause that produces an effect, this is the ultimate knowledge in terms of existence.
It is not an "infinite" state. For in order to be "infinite", "finite" must be defined. So without finiteness, infinity would not exist. To put it simply, "" means that everything is nothing, everything is in it, and it is the foundation of the Moon Realm and the highest existence, the absolute existence.
In this cognition of the world, the spiral of contradictions is endless and infinite, but in the root calamity, the concepts of "infinite" and "finite" are different from those of the present world. Araya Zonglian wanted to find the end of the spiral with this.
"I see, you've also put the worst target on the root cause. Although the purpose is different, the result is the same. Mayu sighed. Still, you've failed quite a few times, right? The root cause of the scourge is not so easy to open. ”
Zhen Yu didn't believe that as an old guy who had lived for two hundred years, after accepting the magician's idea, he knew that the Root Disaster of the Dao could achieve the goal in his heart, and he was able to endure until now to try to enter the Root Disaster. The biggest possibility is that I have tried, but failed, in fact, it is not a big deal, from ancient times to the present, how many can open the root cause of the disaster?
If you want to open the root cause of the disaster, you must first have a strong force, or a special means, that can penetrate the wall of the world, and even if it can be opened, the two major inhibiting forces are not decorations. Restraining prevents one from going to the root because it is a force that one cannot achieve. Obstruction on the path to the roots: Gaia's monsters, heroic spirits, and even if they offend the interests of humanity or affect the earth itself, Gaia and Alayas themselves will be directly destroyed in the world.
Therefore, magicians trying to reach the root must take roundabout measures to open the way, such as the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, and the enchantment of the "64th Floor of the Bonna Temple" that Araya Soren later made.
"I've tried four times, but they've failed, and the inhibition interferes with the rituals that have been interrupted in the middle of the ceremony." Araya Zonglian replied expressionlessly.
Tsk, cowman, I tried four times and was not destroyed by Gaia and Alayya's men, should I say that old and immortal are thieves? (Young man, you're laughing again...... )
You must know that the heroic spirits and guardians are not good men and women, and under normal circumstances, chickens and dogs are left behind everywhere they go, so as to prevent future troubles. Araya Zonglian was able to escape four times, and she was also powerful. Zhen Yu sighed, and at the same time secretly vigilant in his heart, he should be careful when encountering this kind of old immortal in the future, who knows what special moves or life-saving means they have in their hands.
"That's right." Zhenyu asked, "How do you know about me?" How do you know that I can answer the doubts in your heart? ”
This is also Zhenyu's doubt, to know that he feels that he has been low-key in recent years, although he has some reputation, but it is estimated that it is basically impossible to spread it in Japan. Even if he goes out to train for half a month, he has only been to two counties and districts, how can anyone care about him being such a nobody? Wait a minute? Could it be that the old man was made by Sosaki magic? There is also this possibility, they are all Japanese, they are all old and immortal, maybe they really know each other.
"It was the magician of the Aozaki family who told me. Last time I met, he told me that the young master of the Asagami family was a disciple of the fourth magician, and he had awakened the origin, and there was a great possibility that he would reach the root in the future and become a magician. "Araya Zonglian did not hesitate to sell the old man Cangqi, which seemed to him to have nothing to hide.
"It's really loved by him." Zhenyu really didn't expect the old man to have such a high opinion of him, as for the fourth magic envoy, it should be Orynica, who was misunderstood when he saw the old man Cangqi last time. "So, what's the matter with me?"
"I wanted to find a companion who could open the roots together, but you and I have different philosophies, so it's impossible to cooperate." Huangye Zonglian saw the ground very thoroughly.
In Maha's opinion, this sentence is "Come on, boy, be the boss behind the scenes with me......"
The attraction of the root disaster to the true feather is not as great as imagined, although it is called the birthplace of everything, all the memories in this world, all the things in this world are all made by the roots, it can be said to be the seat of God, but all the people who have been in the root have never returned, and even their traces of reality have been erased. Who knows what will happen after Lu Dao enters, so unless the strength is enough, Zhenyu will not try.
Therefore, the current true feather seeks the power of "magic", not the "root".
"Indeed, you and I are not the same kind of people in the first place. I don't have such lofty ideals to save the world, and mankind must always rely on itself. This is Maha's response.
There are many people in the Shizuki world who are determined to save the world or save people, such as Emiya Kiritsu, such as the night of Wallazia, such as Emiya Shirou, such as Araya Soren; Although Zhenyu feels incomprehensible, he won't ridicule anything, and people with gorgeous dreams and extraordinary beliefs are always admirable.
"However, if you dare to touch the people around me, then wait for my revenge!" Zhen Yu said sharply.
Admiration is admiration, and those who dare to touch me are ready to be retaliated against. It's not impossible, if it's done in Guanbuzi City, many abnormal people here have a lot to do with Zhenyu.
"When the time comes, I will see you as a 'restraining force' that prevents me from reaching the roots, and I will destroy you." Araya Zonglian always had a distressed voice.
"So, before you go, please fight with me!" Mayu said.
PS: It doesn't feel like the end without PS......
