Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

"Hidden behind the scenes, watching the pawns she pushes kill each other, that's her destructive aesthetics. Now she's personally getting involved... Let's do it, Laolong."

The number of Bu Li people killed tonight was large, and he hadn't had time to properly examine them before. Now that he's back at the inn, Wei Gong has the time to check his haul.

Limited-time gacha pools: Fullmetal Alchemist collaboration, sword-type skill collaboration

The mission to defeat the Ayumi has not yet been completed, and the Destruction Blessing gacha pool has not yet been opened. Emiya is not in a hurry. If any more Ayumi foolishly barges in later, he can harvest another wave of韭菜027.

"What a windfall!"

"82 draws + 37 draws".

"It's a pity there aren't any good gacha pools right now. If there were a Herrscher of Truth gacha pool, we'd have to find a way to force ourselves to spend money to get her."

"The regular gacha pool has too much uncertainty. Although you can get UR or SSR, the UR rewards with weak world-building are useless even if you get them."

"Let's save these points for now. When Old Man Ban gets some gold coins, we'll get all those bloodline-related items from him..."

"Although I have a lot of combat methods now, the problem of insufficient mana is starting to become apparent."

"Some people's physical abilities are superior to mine. Although they have Nen abilities to enhance their bodies, they don't have much of an advantage in the most basic physical performance."

"It would be nice to obtain the 'physique' of the Vidyadhara clan, but unfortunately, the little Azure Dragon won't give me the chance to leave the pool."

Ninjas aren't exactly known for their physical resilience, but the tough, thick-skinned physique of Bu Liren is truly enviable. Unfortunately, Bu Liren's toughness comes from a brain transplant, and those who possess both the wildness and cunning of wolves, like Hu Lei, are extremely rare.

"The world of Dragon Ball is a bit too far away."

"The world of martial arts has not yet responded."

"While there isn't a systematic cultivation method, trying 'self-modification' might offer some hope."

"...When we have the chance to fight the Holy Grail War, we should get more similar skills from our Servants."

Knowledge and skills can be acquired through spiritual means, but things like bloodlines can only be earned through one's own efforts.

"However, self-modification skills are mostly for special job classes."

They are either the Descendant or another personality, or at the very least, a Vengeance, such as Jeanne Alter, Jeanne Alter, and Jeanne Alter again.

"Jekyll's self-modification is too poor; even if we got our hands on it, it wouldn't be of much use."

"Among the normal job classes, it seems that only the One-Piece class has relatively strong modification skills."

Sigurd,

Even top-tier Servants who perform exceptionally well in Lostbelts are not far from being considered exceptionally powerful.

"The Vidyads can transform themselves by devouring dragon hearts, which is one thing, but if they could find dragon eggs from other regions... or even the 'dragons' of Teyvat..."

The dragons over there are essentially elemental beings, but they also possess the form of a "dragon." There are plenty of targets to choose from: the water dragon king Navelette, the grass dragon king Upton, the wind dragon Dvalin, the poison dragon Durin…

"If I could go into Monster Hunter, Nergigante, Alatreon, or something like that would be great..."

"Moreover, given this characteristic, it is not impossible for it to devour other targets."

"The 'Crimson Moon' from Hulei might also be a good choice."

"However, we need to find a way to obtain the 'self-reform' first."

Just after the system interface was closed, a faint connection was established with the new spacetime beacon, and intermittent (cfai) messages came from the other end.

[Hey, hey, hey, how could a phone spawn in a place like this...]

Another world? That sounds interesting, but I probably won't be able to go.

I really want to eat roasted marshmallows again...

If you over there can truly hear what I'm saying, please help me tell the other nameless travelers that I have reached a place deeper and farther than Akivilli, a place He has never reached.

If you are not from our world, then please remember this sentence, even if it's just as an interlude in some boring story to come... The nameless traveler, Fulibas, has entered the "Abyss," a place even Akivilli had never reached, the "Void" beneath the darkness, the "Black Sun" in a stagnant pool... I thought this place would be empty, but... I discovered a strange light fighting against a bizarre black entity... My self-awareness is being dissolved; I'm afraid I've already embarked on my countdown to self-destruction... But I've decided to continue downwards; I want to see clearly the true nature of that light and the black entity...

[Nameless guest, Furibas... I've heard of you.]

Are you also from Orkelon?

No, I'm on the Star Train.

[Are you also an anonymous traveler? ...Great! Please add my story to the train's database. I'm about to continue sinking... I need to see the true nature of those two things. I'm curious that beneath the void, there can be some kind of continuously opposing "existence"!]

You can still escape now; I can try to pull you back onto the Star Train.

【don't want! 】

The nameless guest on the other end gave a firm refusal.

From the moment I decided to step into this place, I never considered returning. Unless I can personally reach the very bottom of nothingness and witness everything, I will never give up. As Akivilli said, "We can endure the unknown for a while, but we must never succumb to the unknowable."

Emiya fell silent for a moment, unable to assess the value of what the other party had done.

but,

This is a firm decision that outsiders absolutely cannot sway.

In that case...

There is only one choice.

Respect the fate of others.

Let go of the urge to help others.

I probably won't be able to reach that place; my spirit is gradually succumbing to despair... my emotions, cognition, and everything else are collapsing.

Wait, I think I see it! It's a universe! A new universe... No! This isn't the deepest part of nothingness, I seem to have arrived at a new place...

Vast, desolate planets...

The power of pioneering has never reached this place!

Although I didn't venture into the deeper reaches of the void, I discovered a new world. I've gone deeper and farther than Akivili!

[P.S.: I had something to do during the day, so this is the fifth update. Normally, updates are between 10 AM and 12 PM. Lately, there have been some unexpected little things happening.]

Chapter 120: Embarking on the "Pioneering" Journey. (2/5)

A light that swallowed everything.

The pitch black that confronts it,

That sounds familiar.

Emiya narrowed his eyes; it was somewhat similar to the final worldview described in the Teyvat continent.

The universe shines brightly, yet fate remains shrouded in darkness.

The latter, in particular, represents "taboo," "abyss," and "devouring everything"...

The abyssal power on the continent of Teyvat originates from the projection of this dark will.

The Cosmic Light, on the other hand, is an unknown concept, but it is on the same level as the Dark Will in terms of its concept.

but,

These are no longer the main points.

The point is...

Concentrate your intellect and longing as much as possible on your phone, or rather, while you still have consciousness, record some conversations. Later, if there's an opportunity, I can retrieve them. If your soul still remains, I will let you see the light of day again.

【…】

for a long time,

There was no response.

Emiya sighed softly.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Furibas should be the white-haired girl who has been in contact with the underworld for a month and is speculated to be the paramecium from another dimension.

"Is it... over?"

The corrosive power of nothingness is something most people cannot withstand.

She sank very deep.

They didn't even know how she managed to penetrate so precisely into the depths of "nothingness."

Please...eat...cotton...

Suddenly,

Just when Emiya had completely given up, another intermittent response came from the other end.

【Wait for you.】

The last sentence caused Emiya to pause slightly, but then a pleasant smile spread across his face.

See you again on the Star Train, senior.

After finishing this round of conversation, Emiya felt a slight stirring in his heart. Although he knew that many people could sacrifice themselves for their ideals, and that he might also abandon his usual rationality and throw himself into actions that seemed like moths to a flame when his country was in danger, he seemed to have never met someone as reckless yet persistent and determined in pursuing ideals as Furibas.

What can she gain from that behavior itself?

The answer is yes.

What others cannot understand.

Was she driven by competitiveness, by a desire to defeat Akivili once?

If it were for such a superficial reason, it would seem rather ridiculous.

but,

She seemed indifferent to other people's attitudes and opinions. She was a lively and cheerful person, leaving few vivid memories in Huang Quan's mind. The fact that she could leave such a deep impression clearly indicates that this nameless visitor was no ordinary person.

If we're talking about it, he might just be another Bai Heng-level "white moonlight" (ideal love).

Yes, just like Bai Heng, they will not hesitate to take the most extreme and dangerous actions in unexpected moments.

Bai Heng died inside the miniature black hole he himself had created.

Furibas, on the other hand, died from the erosion of the void.

They are not mentally superior to ordinary people, but rather, rather than simply living in the present, they yearn to prove the meaning of life.

So--

What, then, is the essence of pioneering?

Is it curiosity about the unknown?

Resisting the unknowable?

Do not……

Emiya suddenly laughed. He had never thought deeply about these things before, but now he realized... exploring one's most authentic self should be...

brave.

The path of pioneering is precisely the one that commemorates the brave, even the reckless ones.

More important than being curious about what lies ahead is... having the courage to push open that door, and being prepared to bear the consequences of doing so.

So……

Am I ready?

Emiya raised his hand, as if...he could hear the sound of a train speeding along the tracks, and in his hand, at that moment, he firmly grasped a golden ticket.

Meanwhile, aboard the Starry Sky Train, the gentle beauty who was sipping coffee seemed to sense something. After a moment's thought, she quickly opened the train's database. In the database's personnel list, she saw a familiar name with a faint golden glow emanating from it.

"Finally, have you embarked on the true path of pioneering?"

"Congratulations, Emiya."

……

The fourth destiny,

"open up",
