Although the appearance can be said to be the same, the temperament is completely different.
Root Shiki standing in front of her has a gentle temperament that makes people feel warm in their hearts, and there is no way to bring up any trace of hostility.
However, such a gentle temperament also contains indifference.
It was as if the world had nothing to do with her and everything was meaningless to her.
Like a god, he watches everything in the world with indifference.
"You're really cute. No wonder...Touko likes you so much." Root Shiki chuckled, raising his hand and gently placing it on his chest, "You didn't hesitate to call me mom. This... is a plus for me."
She doesn't care about many things. Even if all the treasures in the world are placed in front of her, they are no different from a stubborn stone on the roadside.
However, if someone comes to please her from the perspective of 'Aozaki Touko', then this will make her feel very happy.
Obviously Illya Root Shiki mom is one of the few words that makes people happy.
If the favorability level is displayed, it will probably continue to display...+1.
"Well... may I ask why you want me to call you Root Shiki mother?" Illya raised his hand and scratched his cheek, and looked around awkwardly, "Where... is this place? Shouldn't I have lost control?"
Her memory was still at a time when she was completely out of control, and she had no idea why she came here.
And I have no idea why this gentle and beautiful woman in front of me calls herself her mother.
However, the only thing worth reassuring is the gentle woman in front of him.
Probably not a bad person.
As for the evidence... of course it's that gentle temperament.
In a nutshell, just by looking at her face, a big sister who looks so beautiful must not be a bad person.
"... Because I am your mother's lover." Root Shiki squatted down elegantly and looked at Illya with a smile as he explained, "It is still your mother's biggest secret. We were bound to be bonded the moment we were born."
"...Touko Mama's biggest secret!"
Illya keenly grasps a key word, or the most interesting word.
In fact, she is interested in everything about Touko Mama's past.
"... It is indeed the biggest secret~" Root Shiki chuckled and raised his hand to tap Illya's forehead, "However, these things are not very important. You should give priority to dealing with your out-of-control self now."
"Deal with... the out-of-control self?" Illya blinked, and immediately thought of something, "I'm not standing here now, why..."
"The current state of Illya can be understood as a lucid dream?" Root Shiki explained with a chuckle, "However, the out-of-control body is still moving, destroying everything unscrupulously."
"Then I have to go back quickly!"
Illya became nervous, but she understood how powerful she was when she was out of control.
If left unchecked, it might kill everyone.
"Even if you go back, will Illya be able to control your out-of-control body?" Root Shiki shook his head gently and rubbed Illya's head gently, "What you should be thinking about now is to find how to... control yourself."
"..."
Illya's delicate little face showed frustration. She didn't have the confidence to control herself, which was out of control. It was already extremely difficult to suppress it for a short period of time...
So, she looked up at the gentle woman in front of her and asked.
"Excuse me... Master Root Shiki, how can I control myself?"
"Um... what are you talking about?"
Root Shiki seemed not to hear clearly, and tilted her head in confusion, but her smiling expression told her that she understood clearly.
It's just that he was deliberately pretending not to hear clearly.
"..."
See this. Illya seemed to understand something, her delicate little face turned slightly red, and she raised her hand to grab Root Shiki's sleeves.
"Um...Root Shiki Mom, what should I do?"
"Yeah, yeah, if you want to control yourself, you must have a certain degree of belief." Root Shiki seemed to hear clearly this time and gave the answer with a smile, "Establish a strong enough outlook on life, worldview, and values, and implement them to control your out-of-control self."
"Root Shiki Mom, how can I have a solid outlook on life?"
Like a good student, Illya raised her hands and asked obediently. These are a bit complicated for her. In essence, she is still a primary school student and is still in the stage of understanding the world.
"Then let's use Gilgamesh as an example. Although he has an arrogant personality, is self-centered, and his self-confidence is too strong." Root Shiki explained to Illya softly with a smile, "But these are the characters born from his understanding and thoughts about the world. He has a set of self-consistent logic that belongs to him, and he will not feel confused or hesitant about it. That's about it."
"..."
Illya nodded slightly, and then thought about how he would imitate Gilgamesh, but found that there was no way he could do it.
"Then...Root Shiki mother, are there any other examples?"
She raised her hand and asked again.
Originally, she didn't know much about Gilgamesh's personality. Most of the time, she was ordered by Gilgamesh to do some chores, and the time she spent with him was pitiful. She wanted to learn about Gilgamesh's thoughts and three views.
At most, you can only learn... the surface.
"... There are many examples, such as you Touko Mama." Root Shiki chuckled, and then warned Illya, "Don't think about getting through Origin Impulse by imitating others. After all, you are yourself. You can learn, but you cannot imitate."
"Then I feel... I can't suppress my out-of-control self."
Illya showed a mournful expression. She was just a primary school student and had never thought about these things. The logic of her actions was chosen based more on her inner impulses. As for her thoughts... she really didn't have much.
"Yes, just... think about everything about yourself carefully." Root Shiki rubbed Illya's head and gently guided him, "The answer must be hidden in Illya's heart. It's just that Illya didn't dig it out deliberately before."
"..."
Chapter 624: Unexpected Development
"... The answer hidden in the 'heart'?"
In the sea of flowers, Illya was lying in big letters, looking at the sky with empty eyes, and looking through his memories vigorously.
However, there is still no clue...
"Illya, do you know... why you lost control?"
Root Shiki, who was sitting aside, asked a question, and when Illya cast a confused look, he smiled and told the answer.
"If Illya has received training from a professional Magecraft teacher, then he will know a concept called 'origin'. If a person has the concept of past lives, then the self in the previous life should also have previous lives. Until the original source of everything, that is the source of the concept of 'origin'."
"The so-called impulse is actually accumulated from the origin, and its power is beyond imagination. Human character, destiny, and talents are actually related to the origin."
"People with the origin of 'sword' are born with excellent swordsmanship skills. People with the origin of '**' are born to be more lustful than others. People with the origin of 'genius' are born to promote the development of the times. People will make different choices and development in the direction of origin."
"Once human beings awaken to their origins, the directional power accumulated from the beginning will undoubtedly easily overwhelm the fragile personality built up in human beings' short lives."
"Unless someone's origin happens to be the first life, or they have a strong enough personality to resist the impulse of origin."
"..."
Illya listened patiently and understood why she lost control. However, when she understood the concept, she couldn't help but complain.
"It feels even more impossible. How on earth did Touko Mama do such a thing."
While I was amazed at my Touko Mama will, I also deeply understood the difficulty of the matter.
I want to use the personality I built in my short life to fight against the directionality accumulated from life to life.
The difficulty is like... using a toothpick to pry up a huge rock.
"Human emotions are strong yet fragile." Root Shiki showed a moving smile, "Don't be anxious... carefully find the answer from your heart."
In fact, she does not think that Illya can rely on its short, pre-adult life to suppress the origin of confrontation and bring direction.
However, as long as Illya can know, the most powerful emotion in the heart can temporarily suppress the impulse in the direction of origin.
Then, sooner or later, Illya will be able to gradually suppress Origin Impulse.
Completely... master the power of Life Tree.
"... I understand."
Somewhat distressed, Illya continued to fall into deep thinking. Vaguely, he seemed to understand... how to fight against Origin Impulse.
In fact, if you think carefully about why she was able to maintain her own will in a short period of time while deeply liberating the power of Life Tree.
There is only one reason, to worry about losing control and hurting your family and friends.
That's right, that's just the reason.
Therefore, after she found out that her family and friends had left, she was directly engulfed by the impulse of origin and lost her sense of self.
If only family and friends were still nearby at that time.
Then she felt that she could still sustain it for a while.
"..."
Root Shiki glanced at it with a smile, somewhat clearing up his thoughts Illya, then raised his hand and waved gently in the void.
Projection showed a picture, which came from another world and was about Aozaki Touko and Nephthys chatting.
This was something she had always done.
For her, who knows everything, observing the 'unknown' Aozaki Touko is her favorite thing to do.
Of course, now that she has broken through Root's omniscience, she can actually obtain more 'unknown' information.
However, the feelings existing in her heart still made her choose to observe Touko.
Of course, there is also concern that Touko may be in danger.
"Root Shiki mother, that... is Touko Mama?" Illya didn't know when to come back to reality, her delicate little face was extremely excited, "Didn't you say that Touko Mama has gone... to a place beyond reach?!"
"It just so happens that I can reach where Touko is." Root Shiki smiled naughtily and gently put his delicate hands on his chest, "And, actually, I was the one who sent Touko there."
"Then... can you send me there?!"
Illya's red eyes shone with hope. If Singularity's adventurous journey was included, in fact, she had not seen Touko Mama for a long time.
"Want to... see Touko?" A sly smile appeared on Root Shiki's beautiful face, "There is no problem with that, but is Illya really mentally prepared?"
"Is there any danger?!" Illya looked a little nervous, swallowed his saliva and asked, "If I go, will it cause a lot of trouble to Touko Mama."
She had already made a decision in her mind. As long as Root Shiki said there would be some trouble, she would give up the idea of going to another world to find Touko Mama.
Although Touko Mama seems to have a stable life now.
However, he might have experienced countless risks in another world, and if he had gone there, he might have caused trouble to Touko Mama.
For example, being caught by an enemy... threatened or something.
"There won't be any danger." Root Shiki shook his head slightly, with a smile on his face, "It just means that you Touko Mama may not be able to continue causing trouble in another world, so you can only go home early."
Originally, Touko should have become a demon god and returned home, but now he has delayed his time in becoming a demon god and continues to play in another world.
Therefore, Illya will not be in danger even if it passes.
At most, Aozaki Touko would become a demon god earlier and go home earlier. The rest of the impact would not be much.
No, maybe there is still some influence.
That is Touko... There is no extra time to conquer another demon god, so we can only stop at Nephthys.
"Then... I'll leave it to you to get through this time Singularity." Illya stood up and bowed, "Please let me go back. I already have some... understanding of how to fight against Origin Impulse."
"Don't worry, this is the outside of time." Root Shiki shook his head slightly and explained gently, "Even if you go to Touko first, it will only be a moment to the outside world, and it will not delay you from saving the world."
"Really?"
Illya's little face showed an expression of surprise. If she could find Touko Mama first, then she would return to Singularity... wouldn't it be a random killing?
Whatever the problem was, it was solved... easily.
"Yeah."
Root Shiki nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
"Then please let me go find Touko Mama first!"
Illya made the choice without hesitation. After all, as a young child, it is impossible to say that he does not long to see his mother.
"Okay"
Root Shiki pursed his lips and smiled.
"Touko, she will be very surprised to see her beloved daughter coming to her."
