Alaya and Gaia: Quick, go summon Buddha Rulai!
Root of the problem: I was enjoying life, watching the real Ryougi Shiki live, fight monsters, and raise children, and suddenly you started causing trouble, and even bigger trouble later on. Who knows, her world might be affected or even disappear. How could I not come out and stop you?
"Hahaha--"
Upon hearing the other party's reason, Ai Aotian couldn't help but burst into laughter. She had only ever been connected to the Root and lived like a puppet, not caring about the survival of humanity or the world. The other party, on the other hand, was even the personification of the Root, yet he told her that he had "come out to deal with himself because of humanity." It was precisely because he was connected to the Root that Ai Aotian found it laughable.
What's the difference between this statement and the First Hokage saying to the Nine-Tails, whom he held in one hand, "Nine-Tails, you're too strong. I have no choice but to seal you away!"?
"Then why don't you change the fate of humanity!?"
Ryougi Shiki naturally knew the fate of humanity, but what did those events have to do with her now? Root Shiki only wanted to live a peaceful life as a young woman. Even if the Earth dried up and Gaia and Alaya died, it wouldn't affect Root Shiki in the slightest. Aren't there other parallel worlds like the Servant Universe?
Even now, Ai Aotian was still suppressed by the two major Counter Force, and each step required considerable effort. Yet, he still loudly retorted, "Only Lord Mo Yi is the savior of humanity—"
"I will pave a path to light for him, and no one can stop me, not even you!"
Genji had no intention of speaking further. Both of them were people with extremely strong willpower, so how could they give up because of a few words from the other? So they drew their katana.
With the support of the Root, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can indeed kill even the Counter Force. As long as you get close enough to target Ai Aotian, his powerful immortality will lose its effect. Not only will Ai Aotian be in the present moment, but even his ability to revive through the concept of 'evil' will be rendered ineffective, because this is the result of the Root, the cause and effect of everything in the Moon World.
"Aika, I've found you."
Upon entering the cave, Mo Yi, who had arrived on horseback, finally found Ai Aotian. However, upon arriving, he saw a woman who looked exactly like Ryougi Shiki, and was about to take out a knife to kill Ai Aotian, whose clothes were Ai Aotian and who seemed to have been through a great battle and looked very tired.
"Lord Mo Yi—— "
Upon hearing Mo Yi's voice, Ai Aotian immediately shifted his attention from Ryougi Shiki to Mo Yi, who had just jumped into this space.
Upon seeing Mo Yi, Ai Aotian was naturally overjoyed. The reason she was able to overcome the series of battles and persevere until now was because of her obsession with meeting Mo Yi. Otherwise, as a newly born Counter Force, how could she possibly defeat two Counter Force that had been developing for many years and whose population was almost exploding, who were attacking her head-on?
But considering her own situation, especially with Ryougi Shiki still around, she quickly called out to Mo Yi, "Don't come over, this woman is dangerous!"
Although Lord Mo Yi is very strong, he is currently only a clone with one in a billion of his power. If he were to fight against Ryougi Shiki, Ryougi Shiki is equivalent to the Incarnation of the Root, it would be unlikely that he could win. Even if it is just a clone, Ai Aotian does not want Mo Yi to get hurt.
Mo Yi: "..."
If you call me and I don't go, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Furthermore, if I watch you, Ai Aotian, get attacked or even killed there, what kind of man am I, Mo Yi? What kind of King of Heroes am I?!
So, Mo Yi appeared in front of Ai Aotian the next second. Regardless of whether this matter was right or wrong, standing in front of Ai Aotian first was definitely the right thing to do!
Even if the other party is really wrong, it should be you who 'saves' them!
"Lord Mo Yi..."
Seeing Mo Yi blocking his way, Ai Aotian, despite being exhausted, felt a surge of new power and wanted to pull Mo Yi aside so that she could face Ryougi Shiki.
"Let me handle this; the other side is too dangerous."
"Shut up! Now listen to me!"
With his back to Ai Aotian, Mo Yi shouted in a serious tone, and the other party stopped talking.
Ai Aotian: "..."
Ai Aotian naturally knew that Mo Yi wanted to protect her, but...
Well, under Mo Yi's stern tone, Ai Aotian, who had always acted very tough, softened and became a girl who needed protection.
"Ryougi Shiki?"
Upon seeing Mo Yi, Ryougi Shiki abandoned her attack plan. She realized that even as the Incarnation of the Root, she couldn't see through his identity. She knew he was from a world completely different from the Type-Moon universe. Facing such a person, she naturally wouldn't act rashly before confirming his information. What if he was a powerful being she couldn't even defeat? Wouldn't that be a waste of her time?
Ultimately, the reason she was here was simply because she didn't want Ai Aotian to disrupt her peaceful life.
During the pause, Ryougi Shiki used the time to research Mo Yi's deeds. Soon, everything from Mo Yi's domineering entrance to his words and actions in the Holy Grail War was like a virtual movie playing out in Ryougi Shiki.
Ryougi Shiki: "..."
Fortunately, I didn't make a move. If the other party really had the strength shown in the scene when it first appeared, wouldn't killing this clone of the other party now be creating a great enemy for the Type-Moon World?
What if, before dying, the opponent says, "Hmph, are you trying to bully me because I can't manifest in my true form?"
After some time, the opponent's main body forcibly broke through the defensive barrier of the Type-Moon World and came over, and that was the real big trouble!
If Mo Yi knew Ryougi Shiki's imagination, he would definitely be grateful for the special effects of the Little World Game, and the 100 crystals he spent back then were not wasted!
In addition, Ryougi Shiki also learned about Mo Yi's words and actions. After some analysis, she came up with the best strategy: if the other party really was the kind of savior of mankind, as long as she told him the truth, he would naturally deal with Ayaka Aika's matter, and then her goal would be achieved!
"This body of mine is indeed Ryougi Shiki, and you may call me Ryougi Shiki."
If Root is equivalent to the developer of the Moon World, then Root Style, as the personification of Root, isn't it the real official GM?
Seeing that Ryougi Shiki was willing to communicate, Mo Yi decided to try to bluff his way out. If he could avoid fighting, Mo Yi really didn't want to fight the biggest cheater in the Moon World!
"Miss Ryougi Shiki, please give me some face and let's leave it at that—"
"Leave Aika's matter to me."
PS: Chapter 388, Princess Arc: "Mother, I won't stop—" Seeing her mother admit she'd chickened out, Alice panicked. If Tsukuyomi, such a capable, cunning, and powerful guy, successfully impersonated Houraisan Kaguya, with Houraisan Kaguya's game account already maxed out and fully equipped, what would Alice, the best Alice, ever do?! Forget becoming one of Mo Yi's wives... even if she wanted to get rid of her later, it would be impossible! If Houraisan Kaguya herself played the role, Alice could counter with a 'I was pretty accurate' statement. While she couldn't have Mo Yi all to herself, at least she could go Hu Xiao Kai with others, at worst ending up like in her future memories, but that would still be happiness. Of course, Alice's current efforts, refusing a fixed future, are naturally driven by a desire for even greater happiness! "If I stop here, all my efforts so far will have been in vain, so I won't stop!" "If you don't help me, I'll pretend you're not my mother!" Shenqi: "..." Shenqi originally wanted to persuade her further, but since Alice said so, Shenqi, being a doting father, had no choice but to step in. "I'm sorry, Little Night— " Shenqi looked at Tsukuyomi and said 'firmly,' "I want to be a good person now!" After saying that, she broke the power that Tsukuyomi placed on Kaguya, allowing the Princess to transcend the useless and unattainable death and successfully revive.
Chapter 489: Alaya, Gaia: Quickly go and invite Buddha Rulai!
Mo Yi activated the Devil Fruit of Prestige at the root level, entering a state of will judgment.
Excessive speculation about the root cause leads to a failure of willpower judgment!
That's right. Genji, who had already intended to prioritize harmony and compromise, naturally agreed after hearing Mo Yi's words. However, she didn't simply say, "Okay, I'll give you face today, our friendship will last forever," and run off. Instead, she thought for a moment and said, "Letting Aika, who has become Counter Force of Evil, fight against the two great Counter Force will inevitably cause a huge disaster, and might even lead to the direct destruction of countless parallel worlds—"
Ryougi Shiki, having discerned Mo Yi's situation through her investigation, and knowing that he was unaware of Aika's condition, subtly relayed Ai Aotian's information to Mo Yi, hoping to draw his attention and prompt him to resolve the matter. She said, "Of course, the two major Counter Force won't let Ayaka Sajō off the Aika either—"
"They are asking someone 'Awakened One' to deal with Ayaka Aika. Although her abilities are troublesome and can suppress all beings with concepts of good and evil, those 'Awakened One' no longer have such concepts—"
"You'd better watch yourselves."
After providing a batch of information, Root Style turned and walked away.
In fact, she didn't care about the issue of Aika and the Counter Force. No matter who won or lost, it was all the same to the Root. The Root was like the ocean, and the Counter Force was one of the strongest creatures in the ocean. Whether it lived or died, it was just part of the ocean's ecosystem. Everything was just a cycle.
Therefore, whether humanity perishes or not is the same. If humanity is lost, new species will emerge to replace it. In the Moon World, everything will perish, only the root of everything will never change.
If the root is destroyed one day, the entire Moon World will be destroyed; it is a whole that includes the individual.
The reason why the Root Style is like this is simply because it wants to continue to lurk in Ryougi Shiki and experience life.
