I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

What is the "root" or "vortex of origin"?

It has many names:

""

"Akashic Records".

Where the universe begins.

The cause of everything.

The starting point and end point of all laws, all phenomena, and all causes and effects.

In terms of existence, this is the "ultimate" knowledge.

The ultimate goal that all magicians dream of, it is also a dreamland that humans cannot reach in their lifetime.

If there is "omniscience and omnipotence" in this world, it must be at the "root".

If there is something transcendent in this world, it must be at the Root.

Magicians are so defined that they have been pursuing it since the age of the gods.

Of course this is not wrong, but those magicians who have gone crazy have forgotten it. Since the "root" specifications are so high, can humans afford it?

Orange once said, "" is not infinite.

Because in order to have "infinity", "finite" must be defined. So without the finite, the infinite would not exist.

However, if the concepts of "limited" and "infinite" cannot even be defined, what burden does human beings have to bear, and why should they be "omniscient and omnipotent"?

Since the "Vortex of Origin" is the starting point of the universe, how can humans, who are just a speck of dust in the universe, fully understand and accept it?

Human beings have their limits after all. Do you really think you are a warrior of light from the M78 Nebula? Even the Warrior of Light is not truly omniscient and omnipotent.

Therefore, humans cannot truly go to the "source" in a physical sense. If they do, it will become a certain way of existence that humans cannot understand, and the evidence of its existence in the world will be erased. Although there are a few cases of so-called return after reaching the "root", those people did not really enter the "vortex of the root" in the strict sense. They only got in touch in some way and got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. Even so, it came at a considerable price.

Both Ryo Rishi and Tohno Shiki died once, and after waking up they had to face a broken world forever.

Because of Shinji's intervention, Gengiri Satsuki, the "Book of False Gods" who did not come to Kanfuko City, has mastered the language that can communicate with the world and is comparable to magic, but has lost the ability to unify information and matters. cognitive ability.

This shows how dangerous and terrifying the "Vortex of Roots" is.

Now, Shenji has also set foot on the road to this place, and understands that all the dangers and all the horrors are not alarmist.

It feels like you're dealing with a huge modern database and your computer is just a poor old Pentium 486 with insufficient hard drive, insufficient memory, insufficient graphics card, insufficient everything.

The most troublesome thing is that you can't stop the input of data. In the end, you will only end up with burnt down and downtime, just like those predecessors who desperately entered the "source vortex".

Fortunately, Shinji's experience was unusual.

Entering the realm of magic made his brain and soul stronger.

Years of dealing with the will of longing has allowed him to accumulate the ability to process multi-threads and block noise.

The process of helping Arquette share his blood-sucking urges gave him experience in dealing with excess information.

Therefore, he did not die in the first information explosion. After getting through the period of confusion after being bombed, the instinct of self-preservation began to kick in. The body and soul will influence each other. Large-scale information invasion suppresses the soul, and the body can resist and in turn save the soul.

The first step is to close all the senses and minimize the amount of information input.

The second step is internal processing.

It can be archived and used immediately to alleviate the situation.

Regardless of whether the other items are useful or not, and whether you understand it or not, as long as they occupy storage space, they will be deleted. If they cannot be deleted, they will be converted into heat (energy) and radiated out.

Anyway, this is the outside of the world, not the real world, so you can destroy it no matter what. If you can't even bear this, then don't call it a "source vortex", just call it glass slag.

To put it simply, the super management software that comes with the computer is started.

Firewall blocking, self-checking and powerful deletion can save your stuck computer (brain).

Well, I really don’t have the intention to learn a certain “digital famous sports shoe brand-1” software that pretends to be computer protection but is actually a hooligan, simply because this description is the most appropriate.

Gradually, Shen'er regained some consciousness and more or less understood his current situation.

He thought again of the parting words of the Master and Gilgamesh.

The closer you are to success, the more careful you have to be, the more impossible things are, the more likely they are to happen. Don't be fooled by the appearance in front of you, don't be swayed by excessive temptation, and don't forget your most important things.

The first sentence plus the first stanza of the second sentence refers to Roa's comeback, and the excessive temptation refers to the "root" of the magician's ultimate ideal. The most important thing is obvious - his family, friends, and lovers in this world. .

The phrase "never forget your original intention" is even more obvious. What is your fundamental motivation to become stronger? In addition to protecting yourself, isn't it for the people who are important to you?

Scathach once said in the introductory teaching of warriors: Man is the master of power, not the slave of power. Losing oneself because of the pursuit of power is to sacrifice the basic and the weak.

It was so dangerous, I almost lost myself.

In an instant, happiness reaches the soul.

Concentrate all your strength and will, restrain all the thoughts that are entangled in yourself, and fight against the intruding information——

I am who I am!

Don’t pursue the root cause, don’t seek power that you can’t control!

That's all!

--and cut it off!

Without the constant influx of information, all that is left is just a matter of time. Driven by will, redundant information is discarded and useful information is retained.

The chaotic soul finally regained order, and Shinji also regained control of himself.

When he opened his eyes again, it was no longer the familiar scene inside the Great Holy Grail, but a constantly changing void.

He can feel the existence of concepts, laws, space, time, phases, worlds, planets, nothingness, life, death, etc., as if he can reach out and touch them and hold them in his hands if he takes just one more step.

But Shenji didn't do that. He just stopped and abandoned everything. There was only one thing he wanted - a way to go home and return to the living world.

There were important people waiting for him there, enemies to destroy, things to do.

"The Vortex of Roots" - I'm not interested. Goodbye, no, it's best never to see you again!

The moment he understood his true intention, the surrounding void receded and was replaced by a doomsday-like scene.

In the dim land of sand, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of ruined walls, as well as figures scattered around, wearing cloaks the same color as the wind and sand.

PS: The information on the root cause of human beings’ intolerance is the traitor’s own opinions and speculations. The description of mushrooms is inherently confusing, and the traitor is just interpreting it from his own perspective. As long as the explanation is reasonable, it will be fine.
