Longevity Story

"【go to hell.】"

Just when Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know the reason, an irresistible great will as if the sky was collapsing came down on this land.

[Death] swept the earth, instantly turning grass and trees into dust, turning the earth into underworld, and all tangible things returned to the forbidden state called [death]...

The will to die in Emiya Kiritsugu's panic spread irresistibly to the surroundings, to the gathering place of human beings, but at this moment, another command came——

[Foreword withdrawn. 】

After that, everything just now disappeared without a trace, just like the playback of a video tape, and everything around it seemed like nothing had happened...

The defensive barrier was removed, and Xingke's voice reached Emiya Kiritsugu's ears again:

"If the Holy Grail is a wishing machine, then what do you think of me who can grant any wish with just one sentence?"

Just one sentence can change the world indiscriminately. This kind of power seems to be like an omnipotent wishing machine that can be used infinitely like a coin slot machine... unreasonable.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu could feel the great will even through the defensive barrier just now, his little finger is shaking a little; Irisviel is just pure surprise; and Illya has a strange expression and blurted out a name:

"Sakuzuki Miyu? God's Child? That's why you have black hair?!~"

are you kidding me! ——

806. I didn't want to be so omnipotent, because I am an ordinary person with a long life...

"A rare opportunity, I'm here to count the new settings I got, no, it's the ability."

Xingke deliberately did not face the eyes of Illya who wanted to bite him, got up and sat beside Emiya Kiritsugu, and said:

"First of all, I'm very sorry, Mr. Kiritsugu, the attribute of [immortality and immortality] falls on me, who needs it the most."

"...No, you don't need to apologize to me."

Emiya Kiritsugu got used to Xingke's way of speaking without any malice, but it was very provocative:

"Compared to the power falling into the hands of those who need and yearn for it, falling into your hands is more friendly to the world... 72 immortal monsters are enough."

"...That's it." Xing Ke was stunned for a moment, and understood what Emiya Kiritsugu was thinking.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Kiritsugu, you made your fortune by hunting dead apostles."

In this world, there is really no shortage of original magicians who choose to become dead disciples, undead, or even aliens for the continuation of life. Most of them have abandoned human identity and dignity. There are many "harmful" things that endanger the human race.

For example, the old bug who was overtaken by Illya recently.

Emiya Kiritsugu was the first person to save himself, and the journey of justice started. His biological father, Emiya Juxian, was also judged by himself because of the failure of the experiment to study longevity and the panic of the whole island's zombie crisis. killed by his son...

In short, the continuation of the self and the continuation of the ethnic group seem to have always been very conflicting things in this type of moon worldview.

This is a question worthy of consideration, and it is also the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu is cautious and vigilant about the magic that prolongs the life of a magician.

Typically, even if it is wasted on Xing Ke, it can't fall into the hands of a magician with a dark mind, and the idea of ​​ruining forever...

"But... who can say this kind of thing? Is it harmful or beneficial, I can..."

"Even so, I think it's better to fall on you." Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted Hoshika's weird smile, and then seriously added:

"At least I'm sure things won't get any worse than they are now."

Hoshika was stunned for a moment, and together with Illya and Irisviel, they were surprised by such an abnormal statement with Emiya Kiritsugu.

If it had been a week earlier, everyone would have suspected that Emiya Kiritsugu had been taken away.

"Cough, then put aside this kind of small advance, let's talk about the next one, that is, I will no longer need to sing spells when using magic in the future." Xing Ke crossed his hands a little smugly, put them on his chest, and said:

"Should we say [Words speak the law]? Or should we say [Unlimited Wishing]? Or according to this country, should it be [Words and Spirits]?

As long as it's [words] that I say, or if it's a strong will, I don't even need to actually say it, as long as I want, a thought can be turned into [reality].

The basic function is to simplify the process of my casting [magic], directly pay the magic power, and then get the [result].Equivalent to the Holy Grail of unlimited use, right? "

"Is that really the case..."

Emiya Kiritsugu heard what Xingke said, and confirmed what he had just witnessed, his pupils shrank and his heartbeat quickened a bit, but on the surface he forced himself into thinking.

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's unpromising appearance, Ilya was a little unhappy, and said:

"What, is it just like this? It's no different from your original. At most, it simplifies the casting process for you, who is a slacker."

"Haha, Ilya, you didn't say it right..." Xing Ke confirmed with a smile.

Emiya Kiritsugu may not have imagined the power of Xingke, but Illya knows very well that as long as Xingke is willing, there is basically nothing that can't be done by finding an appropriate magic school.It's not much different from wishing.

Ilya specifically mentions some here, but she just doesn't want to see that Emiya Kiritsugu is still trapped in the old and shabby thinking of [insufficient strength, unable to change the world].

It is like a young man in the new era who has made his fortune in a big city, watching the old father in the countryside stay in the previous era, unable to adapt to the high-tech era, and as a son of man, he looks distressed and has a headache.

"However, there are still places that are stronger than before..."

In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming solidified, Xing Ke continued:

"That is, the restriction that was originally imprisoned on me and prevented me from achieving the [Time Magic] extreme state seems to be gone."

This time, compared to Emiya Kiritsugu, Illya's expression stiffened for a moment.

"Sure enough... is it this time? The time when you learned time magic." After muttering to herself, Illya took a deep breath and relaxed.

Xing Ke smiled and nodded, confirming Illya's guess: "Well, that's it, things are almost clear.

Time-based magic in the wizard system is not suitable for me, because the [time converter] and other things in the wizard system are all magic that allows the wizard and the past self to exist at the same time and in the same world. Conflicts with my essence. "

There cannot be two star carvings with a strong uniqueness at the same time, but the magic of the wizard system is a magic that allows two identical characters to coexist, so there are restrictions on the use of star carvings.

Even if he can make time pause, make time slow down, but he can't reverse time, or speed up the flow, it is because of his own existence in the past and the future.

"In other words, the only person who can limit myself is myself—how about that? Great lines."

"Guise, you're enough..." Ilya was about to give up complaining about Xing Ke's character that was always interrupting.

"Well, well, the flaws of time magic have always been a shortcoming of mine, and I've been looking for a solution..."

For example, the void ancestor who successfully traveled through time is one of them.

After Xing Ke captured her, she never let her idle. The dignified ancestor has always worked hard as a living magic database in Xing Ke's wand, receiving the magic power that he relies on for a meager salary.

But after this period of research, after draining the dry goods in the memory of the void ancestor, Xing Ke always felt that the distance from success was a little bit short, and the biggest limitation, Xing Ke's own "uniqueness refutation" did not break in.

"However, some properties of the third method gave me the final breakthrough, allowing me to finally successfully cheat to bypass this restriction..."

807. Please wait for me for a while, I will go and take you to my side...

Xing Ke knew that the place where he and Justeza were located was not the depths of the root, but a place like the entrance of the tunnel connecting the Holy Grail and the root. ...

However, there should have been only a place for two people to negotiate, but now a third will has appeared——

"Stop!—You stop me! He can't be someone else's child anymore!—"

The sudden appearance of the third will interrupted Justeza's communication to Xingke about the so-called third magician's succession method

"Illya? You are here." Xing Ke suddenly realized the identity of the visitor.

"Of course, if I hadn't sacrificed one of the founders of the Holy Grail system in my hand, I wouldn't have known that you were going to secretly reincarnate behind my back."

Illya casually said something that seemed to be very terrifying, and then criticized Qi Xing Mo as a matter of course:

"Guise, don't give me such a blissful promise to others. Judging from the conversations I heard, it seems that you can gain more abilities every time you are born differently?"

"It seems like this?" Xing Ke seemed to know what Illya was worried about.

"Then don't you take your own life as your life even more? Do you treat every life of yours as a consumable for gaining power?" Illya's emotions were full of sternness.

"..." But Xing Ke seemed to be speechless.

Because he really didn't take his life as something precious for a long time.

"Although your life is indeed worthless..." Ilya said angrily.

"Hey, what are you talking about, I'm so sad when others say it... Although it's true."

"But, at least I don't allow you to sell your life cheaply, remember it for me!~"

After speaking, Illya's stern aura instantly calmed down.

"The above, what I want to say has been said, you continue."

This made Xing Ke a little surprised. Illya's words... there was time to finish!Incredible.

"What's the matter? What are you going to do, I have no qualifications to stop you. I just remind you..."

Illya obediently retreated to Xing Ke's side and said nothing more.

"Oh... that's it." Xing Ke suddenly sighed that his children were growing up quite fast.

Turning his gaze back to Justeza once again, Xing Ke smiled and said:

"Well, that's it, as you can see, if you propose me to be born in a magician's family from scratch, to be educated as a magician, and to grow up to the point of being a magician, then I can only refuse you, the most recent I really have no plans to be a baby again."

At least we have to wait until the current cusp is over, anyway, there is no shortage of time...

[...No, there is no such thing.Although the complete process of starting from scratch for a special sample like you is indeed valuable, it is not necessary, and respecting your opinion is a higher priority. 】

Justisa did not deny the value of Xing Ke's reincarnation, nor did she force anything, after all, she was just an endorsement.

[Humans who come to the Inner Sea of ​​Stars and reach the vortex of roots, if they are qualified, will achieve the position of "Magician" - this seems to be common sense among the group of magicians in this world line.

Therefore, since it is common sense, then at the moment of arriving here, it is recognized by the root cause, and the succession of "Magician" is "of course". 】

Although Justeza conveyed the meaning to Xingke, it seems that this common sense is not so correct.

But for the root, whether human knowledge is right or wrong doesn't seem to matter that much.

[Here, then the contract is established? 】

"Established."

The moment Xing Ke replied, he felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes. If he had to describe it, it could only be said that Xing Ke's self-consciousness was rising to a higher level.

The purpose of the Holy Grail ceremony is to open a hole leading to the inside of the world to reach the root. Now it seems that the stagnation just now is part of the certification process.

Ordinary people will be stuck there waiting for the magic power accumulated in the leylines to be exhausted and return to the original place.
