The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

The main reason is that the abilities displayed by Tatsumi are far more than what is shown on the panel, which makes Tokiomi more and more panicked, fearing that Tatsumi will kick him away before the Holy Grail War begins and end his dream of reaching the origin.

To be honest, although Tokiomi's idea was correct, Tatsumi really didn't want to form a couple with him. But regarding the Holy Grail, Tatsumi really didn't want it.

In the Age of Gods, basically all gods were connected to the root.

Now that he is a god who controls concepts, he is naturally no exception.

Although this may seem like it belongs to the Type-Moon system, this is the root framework here.

In terms of power, it is estimated that no other god can overlap with him. As for the origin, he is now unknown.

Not to mention that he is just a clone now, even if the real body comes, he can easily reach the root.

Now that he has his back to the roots, what else is worth pursuing?

Rather than trying to snatch a broken, contaminated cup, it would be better to lower one's abilities and fight with the heroic spirits. Anyway, for the original body, it would just be a dream.

Tokiomi didn't know what to do with Tatsumi's words.

After all, if you think about it from another perspective, having a heroic spirit like Tatsumi is like having already reaped the fruits of victory.

When Tokiomi thought of the promise made that year, he felt deep regret in his heart. He should have been more polite.

Just like that, Tokiomi changed his mind.

He wanted to retain the contract between the two, but he never expected to be clearly rejected by Tatsumi.

Tatsumi doesn't want the result of "Tōsaka" summoning "Gilgamesh" to change. After all, he is not pursuing the Holy Grail.

As a heroic spirit outside the specifications, since the other seven are here, why don’t you just fight your own battles? Why bother with him?

Even if he is afraid that he is too powerful and may affect the specific direction of the Holy Grail War and the final destination of the Holy Grail, he still welcomes everyone to come and fight him.

Anyway, it's just a clone, everyone is welcome to come and kill me!

Tokiomi was speechless at Tatsumi's generosity, so he had no choice but to accept it and summon the 'Hero Killer', 'Hero King Gilgamesh' as ​​planned.

Taking this opportunity, Tatsumi simply told Tokiomi the truth that the Holy Grail was contaminated.

When he heard that any wish could be fulfilled in the form of "evil", Tokiomi was first confused, and then incredulous.

Later, Tokiomi investigated the ending and various details of the Third Holy Grail War in detail, and then believed Tatsumi's statement.

However, even though he knew the truth behind the Holy Grail War, Tokiomi's pursuit of the root cause would not change.

Even after learning that his wish could be fulfilled in an evil form, Tokiomi still enjoyed it.

Yes, for a magus, it is enough to reach the "Root Vortex".

Whether it is "good" or "evil", it cannot affect his persistence and determination.

After so much time had passed, Tatsumi also knew what kind of person a magician was, so he smiled and joked with Tokiomi: "Then I think you'd better write a suicide note in advance! Tokiomi!"

Tokiomi was puzzled by Tatsumi's statement, so he asked him why he said that.

This is what Tatsumi answered.

"The functionality of the origin is very absolute and very simple, that is, to create 0 from 1 and transform 1 into 0..."

"The Origin Vortex is like a place that records the origin of everything. It records the cause, process, and end of everything. It can be said to be an omniscient book that lasts as long as the universe."

"Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the person who can touch the vortex of origin and peek into the cause and effect relationship of all things is a god who knows everything!"

"However, human souls of this level will either return to their original form or be devoured by the source the moment they come into contact with it. Even if they can successfully return, they are no different from being dead."

After saying that, Tatsumi changed the subject and asked Tokiomi.

"Tokiomi, have you ever heard of a magician who reached the origin in history?"

Tokiomi thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No..."

Tatsumi nodded slightly and continued speaking.

"Yes, no... In history, magicians can only get close to the source, but only a few can reach the source..."

“I roughly divide people who reach the root into three types.

1 is the person who commits suicide immediately after reaching the root, or never returns.

2 is the person who does nothing after reaching the root and just stays there quietly.

3 is the person who reaches the root, announces the result to the world, and is finally killed by the restraining force.

Hearing Tatsumi say that reaching the source would have such consequences, Tokiomi couldn't help but change his expression.

"The restraining force mentioned here is divided into two types. One is the unconscious collective of primates, humans, who want to keep their world alive. In Japanese terms, it is called Alaya-vijnana. The other is the instinct of this world, 'Gaia'..."

"Both will instinctively resist those who approach the source. Although their purpose is the same, their nature is subtly different."

"The reason why the world's instinct restricts those who can touch the source is simply because humans are the ones who control this planet now. And the collapse of human civilization is likely to directly lead to the destruction of this celestial body."

"If someone who hates humanity were omnipotent, the chances of the world ending would greatly increase."

Seeing that Tokiomi seemed to be lost in thought, Tatsumi paused and then continued his lecture.

"As for the collective consciousness of human beings, 'Alaya'..."

"Tokiomi, let me ask you, what will happen if technologies such as 'immortality' and 'unlimited resources' are realized?"

Tokiomi thought for a moment and responded, "The time will come when we won't have to work for the rest of our lives."

"Yes, what a dreamy word, it even makes me feel like 'wouldn't it be great'..."

"However, when the wish is fulfilled, it also means giving up development, and after that, there is only constant 'decline'..."

"An overly perfect society and overly perfect technology are harmful to human beings and have no benefits. The so-called root is not what human beings should pursue."

"If such a world is truly achieved, the restraining force will instead think that 'this is not prosperity at all' and will kill every magus who tries to reach the root."

The operation process of the restraining force can be roughly divided into the following four steps.

1. In the future, humanity is destroyed for unknown reasons, and human restraint predicts this.

2. Investigate the cause and find that a certain technology that is harmful to humans has led to the decline of the human group.

3. This technique comes from a magician who has reached the root.

4. Then kill him before he reaches the source.

Tatsumi said this amid Tokiomi's ugly expression.

"That's why there has never been a magician who has reached the source in history..."

Tokiomi noticed the paradox and asked Tatsumi, "What about the former? Reaching the root but doing nothing..."

"This is very simple, because the inhibition cannot be detected!"

"The suppression force is not just monitoring one world, but countless parallel universes! It is impossible to have the time to monitor a single individual on a planet."

"It's just like if you want to avoid being caught evading taxes, the best way is to not spend the money."

"However, for a magician, who can truly resist the temptation to reach the source?"

As he spoke, Tatsumi looked at Tokiomi and chuckled, saying, "Tokiomi, I know you are a magician who is unwilling to be lonely, so I would say that if you are really prepared, I suggest you write a suicide note in advance..."

Tatsumi supports Tokiomi's determination. After all, this is also a kind of dream-chasing, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the consequences will have to be borne by Tokiomi himself and his family.

......

The Origin Vortex is the ultimate knowledge, but the ultimate also means limitation.

Everything in the world has its limits. Without finiteness, the concept of infinity would be lost.

Since there is to be infinity, we must mark the boundary of finiteness.

Making progress bit by bit is what human beings should be like. Being a human being is all about enjoying the process!

Even if Tatsumi controls several countries, he would not be stupid enough to try to have unlimited resources or completely eradicate the emergence of "evil".

And now that the law has been enacted, we must make sure that it plays its due role.

The most he could do was to prevent the emergence of "extreme evil".

The discussion about the origin of this incident came to an end for the time being, and Tatsumi didn't care too much about what Tokiomi was thinking in the end.

Whether reaching the root is in the form of 'evil' or 'good', it actually makes no difference to Tokiomi.

Because the wish is bound to come true, it will not have any impact on the person who made the wish. No matter what the final result is, it will only affect the wisher.

The desire to reach the root is huge, but in fact it is also very small.

If it is Emiya Kiritsugu's wish for eternal world peace, whether it is achieved through normal means or through "evil", the horrific consequences will be revealed later.

Because once he is detected by the inhibitory force, the human "Sweeper" will travel through time and space, return to the past and kill the weak him.

Let's put aside the topic of the source and the restraining force for now. The same goes for "all the evil in this world" inside the Holy Grail.

It is not difficult for Tatsumi to deal with that thing, but the details will have to wait until the Holy Grail War begins.

......

It's the sixth month now.

As the construction of the "Game Field" went more and more smoothly, Tatsumi couldn't help but wonder whether he should give it a new name.

After all, it is not appropriate to keep calling it the "game field". Since we have already thought of making it an independent world, we definitely cannot call it "game" anymore.

After much deliberation, Tatsumi finally decided on the name "Little Garden" for the time being.

The name "Xakeniwa" is not uncommon, at least for Tatsumi.

......

That month, the "Magic Seal" specially made for Sakura was successfully transplanted. The "Gift" was put on hold for the time being, to see the specific effects of the "Seal" after transplantation.

In order to take care of the girl's safety, the magic recorded in the "Mark" is not much, which is equivalent to the entry-level level.

If you want to continue to expand, learn more "magic/magic" and master its functions and principles.

As long as you work hard, it is only a matter of time before the "mark" grows into a "magic book".

In addition, in recent months, Tatsumi has been spending less and less time in the Toosaka residence. After all, after writing too much code, he always has a feeling that he is about to become bald.

Honestly, this kind of code is really addictive the more you write it, because it is not just data, but a real "phenomenon construction".

In order to alleviate this situation, Tatsumi took the initiative to come out into the outside world and began to enjoy his rare daily life.

In the past, I might only go out four or five days a month, but now I may spend nearly ten days a month wandering outside.

Soak up some sun, enjoy the morning breeze, or walk the empty streets in the middle of the night.

Occasionally read the news about modern society and experience the changes of the times.

Of course, delicious food, movies, games and the like are indispensable.

However, as his activities gradually increased, he inevitably began to have more interactions with the saint wandering in the world.

From a chance encounter, to strangers who could talk to each other for a few words, and finally to friends who could chat for a long time when they met, the relationship between the two gradually improved.

For Jeanne, she couldn't even believe that they had such a fate. Every time she went to the commercial street to vent, she would run into Tatsumi who came to shop.

Because she couldn't find the 'Adventer' and the 'revelation' couldn't take effect, Joan of Arc became more and more depressed, just like doing a fruitless job. After a long time, she naturally wanted to vent.

Although the meeting between the two was accidental, it was not unexpected.

After all, there are only a few commercial streets to visit in Fuyuki City. As places for daily entertainment, it is just a matter of probability to meet them many times.

In addition, Tatsumi is handsome and has a mysterious aura, so it is normal that he can attract this simple saint.

Joan of Arc is both a saint and the Dragon Witch in history.

But Tatsumi has both of these.

He is both a dragon and a revered god.

Going back in time, Tatsumi was still a young man from the countryside.

After getting familiar with each other, you will naturally develop a lot of common language.

Compared to Jeanne who was simply "venting/enjoying", Tatsumi packaged himself very well. Even when he was outside, he would not forget the work in his hands, and he would record any ideas in the "terminal".

Plus, he is less than 20 years old, isn't he definitely a "good student"?

The two of them became more and more familiar with each other. Jeanne d'Arc, who was a "country girl" and had never been to school, was gradually attracted by Tatsumi's ambition and could not help but want to watch the boy.
