Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

"The ancestors of the Liangyi family believed that superhuman abilities would inevitably cause panic among ordinary people and ultimately lead to their destruction. Therefore, they kept a low profile and trained their clansmen to be superhumans who were no different from ordinary people."

"For ordinary people, no matter what the circumstances, they can only reach the point of exhaustion in a few things in their lifetime. However, in order to explore more knowledge, the Ryougi family created a secret technique that allows multiple personalities to be contained in one body."

"If one of the personalities dies, then the Ryougi family, who are born with the ability to see spiritual vision, will have acquired the two basic elements to obtain the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Even so, the probability of obtaining the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is extremely low, but it has indeed made it a possibility."

Upon hearing this, even Aozaki Touko couldn't help but exclaim, "A madwoman!"

Why do you think he did that?

Shen Qiu suddenly asked Aozaki Touko, who was completely engrossed in listening.

"Isn't it just like you said, that you're afraid of causing panic among others, and therefore want to gain greater power to consolidate your family's position?"

Aozaki Touko was somewhat puzzled.

"No, that's just one reason. The most important reason is why, even while enduring the disdain and humiliation from other families with superpowers at the time, we resolutely chose this method to continue the family at all costs."

"You mean..."

Aozaki Touko seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened her eyes wide!

Chapter 195: The Vortex of Origin - The Ideal of Salvation! (Please Subscribe)

"The Vortex of Origin!"

The two of them uttered this word, which was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people, almost in unison. Even Aozaki Touko was extremely shocked at this moment, to the point that she began to break out in a cold sweat!

This is the ultimate ideal of all magicians, even Aozaki Touko. Perhaps it would be too narrow to include the ultimate ideal of all magicians, but at least 99 percent of magicians would be no exception.

What is the root cause?

The Clock Tower's documents describe it as follows: "The ultimate form of all power and knowledge, the final destination of magic, the source of Earth's power, the Root Vortex itself is a miracle, and even possesses the power to control the rules of Earth."

This is the vortex of origin.

Every magician's lifelong dream is to reach the Vortex of Roots and obtain the power to answer and control everything—and indeed, some have succeeded; there are successful examples to follow.

For example, the most famous and frequently seen Second Magician, the Jewel Mage Kyshua Zelrich Schbein'ogu, is someone who, after returning from the Vortex of Origin, mastered the Second Magic, Parallel World Interference, and became the most powerful magician in this world—

I would say they are the strongest magician and the strongest sorcerer.

The others include the third mage, an ancestor of the Einzbern family who disappeared a thousand years ago, and Aozaki Aoko's grandfather, a middle-aged man whose luck was ridiculously good as he accidentally stepped into the Root.

However, because he skipped the process of seeking the root cause and went directly to the root cause, the fifth law he obtained was something that was useless except for destruction, which made him live in anger and regret for the rest of his life.

"What use is this thing to me that does nothing but destroy things?!"

These are words that young Aozaki Touko often heard her grandfather say at home: magic, as a synonym for miracles, should have all sorts of amazing powers, but if it is just pure destruction, then it is indeed extremely disappointing.

Therefore, the fifth method passed down in the Aozaki family is incomplete and fragmented.

When Aozaki Touko was young, she dreamed of perfecting the Fifth Magic after inheriting the title of Magician. However, her dream was shattered by her grandfather, and such thoughts disappeared.

Yes, isn't that interesting? Not everyone who returns from the Vortex of Origin can acquire magic, but all the current magicians are people who have returned from the Vortex of Origin.

“It’s not surprising that the Ryougi family covets the power of the Root. Every magician dreams of obtaining power from the Root, but people who want something for nothing are always annoying, right, Miss Aozaki Touko?”

Shen Qiu looked out the window at Guanbuzi City in the distance. This restaurant was located on the tallest building in Guanbuzi City. From his position, he could see a beautiful night view that was refreshing and invigorating.

"What do you mean?"

“It’s nothing. Let’s get back to the beginning of the topic, your dear classmate Araya Sōren from the Clock Tower.”

"Araya?"

Although they were classmates, Orange didn't know much about him. Apart from knowing that he was an expert in physical combat and barrier techniques, she knew nothing else about him.

“Araya Sōren himself is not a magician. Oh, to be more precise—he is not from this era at all. He was born two hundred years ago.”

Two hundred years ago!

Shen Qiu's words shocked Aozaki Touko. She had assumed that the other party was at most a few years older than her, but she never expected that he was two hundred years older!

“Araya Sōren was born during a period of war two hundred years ago. His family believed in the Tendai sect, one of the branches of Buddhism. Therefore, he joined the Tendai sect in his childhood. It was at that time that he began to show extraordinary talent in barrier techniques.”

Shen Qiu slowly recounted the story of Araya Sōren, because Kara no Kyoukai (The Garden of Sinners) could be considered his story in a way, and even Sakura, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but listen attentively.

"After becoming a monk, Araya Sōren lived through a chaotic era. He witnessed countless evils and injustices, and did his best to help everyone he could. He traveled all over the country to save people."

"But after witnessing the massacres and destruction brought about by war, and realizing that it is impossible to save everyone, I began to question whether humanity has any value in being saved because of the various atrocities I have seen."

· ·Requesting flowers·· ····

Araya Sōren is not really a person suited to Buddhism, because Buddhism advocates silently suffering in this life and enjoying great blessings in the next. In Shen Qiu's opinion, Taoism is actually the most suitable religion for him.

"After feeling my own insignificance and powerlessness, I began to doubt the firm beliefs I had held. After having the despairing thought, 'I can't save anyone,' I decided that if I couldn't save people, I should at least clearly record their deaths."

This is the story of Araya Sōren, an idealist who ultimately succumbed to reality.

"But this is not the end, because Araya Sōren wants to use all his strength to make a final blow. He wants to go to the Root to understand what the origin of mankind is, and then obtain power from the Vortex of the Root."

.. ...... 0

"If the response he receives satisfies him, he will use this terrifying power to 'save' humanity again; if the response disappoints him, he will use this power to bring about the end of humanity."

Shen Qiu spread his hands helplessly. That's right, there are just so many weirdos in the Type-Moon world. Everyone thinks they are the protagonist of this era, but everyone is just a tiny speck of dust in this vast world.

Just like the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, Araya Sōren's actions didn't even cause a ripple in the Clock Tower.

Shen Qiu disliked people like Huangye Zonglian, who thought they understood everything about humanity and always placed their own judgment at the absolute center, arbitrarily controlling the power and destiny of others.

Then they put on a compassionate act, and then they act like they have to do it "for the sake of the world." Please, officer, the world is fine. It's not anyone else's place to save it, nor is it their place to meddle.

Soon he would also have to face Kotomine Shirou, whose ideal was also to save the world, and then there was Emiya Kiritsugu before him. Shen Qiu felt a deep sense of speechlessness rising in his heart.

"What kind of people do I even know...?"

Chapter 196: The Sands of Time - Reversal of Time (Please subscribe!)

"As a monk with a will as firm as stone, Araya Sōren has undergone decades of arduous training. Therefore, he will never give up on exploring the source. He would stop at nothing to obtain the source."

The three of them had already come out of the TaChi restaurant. Touko and Sakura were sitting in Shen Qiu's dark blue Porsche. It was getting late, and Aozaki Touko was quite tired because she had used up a lot of magic power today.

Originally, Shen Qiu wanted to send her and Xiaoying to a five-star hotel, but Aozaki Touko refused outright.

"For a magician, there is no place more trustworthy than the workshop in a completely unfamiliar place." These are Aozaki Touko's original words. Indeed, for a magician like Aozaki Touko, who has not joined any faction within the Clock Tower and is like a rootless duckweed called "293", the workshop is the best sanctuary.

"So he set his sights on Ryougi Shiki's Root, which is connected to the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and wanted to seize her body in order to gain access to the Root?"

"Bingo, you got it right, Ms. Aozaki Touko. You truly live up to your reputation."

Shen Qiu was somewhat surprised. He was able to say it because he knew the plot of the original work, but he did not expect that Aozaki Touko could guess Araya Sōren's plan and purpose so easily.

"It's not hard to guess, because it's so obvious."

Orange shook her head. Excellent logical ability is the foundation of becoming a qualified magician.

“I studied the same subjects as him: life science and human engineering. In our subject, there are methods for taking over other people’s bodies. In fact, I did the same, creating many dolls.”

"If my body is destroyed or I die, my soul will immediately transfer to a pre-prepared puppet to be resurrected, which means—"

Aozaki Touko suddenly gave Shen Qiu a malicious smile that made his scalp tingle.

"Would you like to guess whether this body of mine is my original body or a puppet?"

“Hey, Miss Orange, this question isn’t funny at all. And how am I supposed to guess? Miss Orange’s dolls are made to look exactly like ordinary human bodies, and even better.”

As he spoke, Shen Qiu turned his head with a somewhat helpless expression, wanting to give Miss Orange a helpless look.

However, something unexpected happened—

Aozaki Touko's face suddenly moved closer to Shen Qiu, and because it was so sudden, Shen Qiu didn't react at first, so—

Shen Qiu felt a warm sensation on her lips, and it seemed to have a faint citrus scent.

Silence, long silence.

Sakura, sitting in the back seat, seemed to have no idea what was going on. She froze completely until a large truck was about to crash head-on into the Porsche, at which point she let out a piercing scream.

"Nii-chan! A car is going to crash into us!!!"

After hearing Xiaoying's words, Shen Qiu realized that he was driving! So he immediately turned his head, but at this moment the distance between the two cars was already very close, and they would inevitably collide head-on in the next second!

What should I do?

Shen Qiu could easily use void energy to disintegrate and annihilate the truck in front of him in an instant, but the truck driver would also be unable to survive. A mortal body tainted by void energy has no other possibility than being annihilated into molecules.

Shen Qiu doesn't reject killing, but he's unwilling to cause meaningless killing. Besides, to be honest, this accident was caused by him, so it would be too unethical to act this way.

Orange is definitely irrelevant. Although it might sound harsh, ordinary people are as insignificant as dust in the eyes of magicians.

Whether they are dead or alive, it doesn't really concern them.

However, Sakura might find it hard to accept, since she is only an eight-year-old girl and is in the period of developing her values.

To be honest, Shen Qiu didn't think much of the way magicians conducted themselves. This wasn't directed at anyone in particular; people's minds tend to become distorted after acquiring extraordinary power, and magicians' minds have been distorted for thousands of years, deeply ingrained.

He neither wanted nor was able to change the entire worldview of the mystical side, but at least for Sakura, Shen Qiu didn't want her to develop that kind of annoying magician personality.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."
