Chapter 596
After successfully helping Ai Aotian smuggle himself out, Mo Yi needed to consider the future of Ai Aotian and Lü Ge. Although they were powerful as the Root Princess, it did not mean they were invincible. In the original work, they were just so-so, no different from other villains who appeared on set and boasted a lot, but died when they were supposed to.
In order to make Alaya and Gaia think twice before targeting and scheming against Green Song and Ai Aotian in the future, Mo Yi needs to show his strength in the upcoming battle, so that they know that if they dare to cause trouble, Mo Yi has the ability to smash their heads!
Based on Princess Kaguya's ) past remarks that "the parallel world of the Moon World is the parallel world of the Solar System," Mo Yi crossed his arms and said with an air of nonchalance, "Hmph, although it is only an avatar, it is still easy to surpass the power of the Solar System."
Faced with Mo Yi's complaints, Ryougi Shiki smiled without saying a word and led Mo Yi forward.
"Then let me look forward to it."
A few seconds later, the surroundings suddenly opened up.
The environment had changed drastically. Mo Yi found himself seemingly in outer space. Although he could breathe, Earth and the Moon were not far away. As for Ryougi Shiki, she had also disappeared.
Then, a sense of unease, as if being watched, came over me!
Mo Yi turned around and saw an extremely large object. The word "extremely large" is not easy to understand, but Mo Yi just remembered the setting of the halo in front of him. After all, Mo Yi knew that he was going to cause trouble in the Type-Moon World, so he naturally had to investigate the relevant information carefully, especially those beings that he might not be able to defeat.
The great halo before them was named the Heavenly Wheel Holy King, with a diameter of 7,000 meters. It looked no less impressive than the great halo of the Burning of Human History Gai Zong Getia, and in fact, it was much stronger than Getia's Humanity Cannon.
The enormous halo before Mo Yi could even cut away a parallel world and Event Selection.
What does this mean?
That means that all the hard work and miracles Chaldea put into saving human history in FGO, even after defeating Goetia, and still having to compete with other Lostbelt for survival, are things that this giant halo can do at will! No matter how hard Chaldea tries, as long as this giant halo turns on the parallel world where Chaldea is located, the parallel world where Chaldea is located will disappear instantly, resulting in an immediate GG.
Of course, the great halo in front of us has more than just that. In addition to having AOE power that can even destroy parallel worlds, its true power is to burst out instantly and unleash what is known as the ultimate "Anti-Individual Noble Phantasm" - Return to One Reincarnation. It concentrates a huge amount of energy, comparable to the creation principle of all mankind, onto one enemy, thus liberating them from suffering and providing the ultimate relief.
In the Moon World, the truly strongest single-target damage skill!
There is only one owner of this great halo, and that is the one who floats far away from Mo Yi, sits on a lotus platform, has long green hair, and is gazing at Mo Yi with Great Compassion gaze—the Awakener!
Although Mo Yi had previously complained that the two Counter Force had summoned the Buddha Rulai, he didn't expect that they would actually summon the Buddha of the Moon World. Fortunately, what arrived was only a heroic spirit clone. For the main body, this was not a big deal.
The great figure before us is named the Awakened One (Buddha), the only one to have attained enlightenment and become a Buddha, and the first human being on Earth to reach the ultimate goal (truth). In other words, the other Buddha in the Moon World are not human beings from Earth.
In the Moon World, Buddhism possesses the highest level of existence, a stark contrast to other religions. The realm of Buddhism extends far beyond Earth; the entire universe is a land of Buddhas, also known as the Great Thousand Worlds. The Milky Way galaxy itself constitutes one of the Three Thousand Worlds, thousands of Three Thousand Worlds together form the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and thousands of Three Thousand Great Worlds together form the Great Thousand Worlds.
Those who dedicate themselves to saving all sentient beings (all living things) are called Bodhisattvas; those who attain liberation and Buddhahood are also called Bodhisattvas. A Bodhisattva is a being of cosmic scale, a being that could easily manage something on the scale of a solar system.
In the eyes of the enlightened one, the decline of humanity on Earth is merely a major fluctuation, not worth intervening in. Currently, he maintains a detached, observing attitude towards the crises in human history and human reason, and has no intention of intervening.
Therefore, the Awakener is also known as the Slacker King. He has long since left the universe. In the universe, he can only appear in the form of a Heroic Spirit clone. Even so, if anyone can summon him in the Holy Grail War, no matter how much the Awakener slacks off, just a little bit of action is basically enough to win. Those so-called Golden Trio, Grand Servant, are actually no different from his younger brother. Even his automatic defense Noble Phantasm 'Bodhi Tree Enlightenment' is difficult to break.
Besides, the enlightened beings who fight while seated on lotus platforms are actually the ones with the strongest fighting techniques, as evidenced by their Inherent Skills, Kalaripayattu (EX). Kalaripayattu an ancient Indian martial art that relies not only on strength or intelligence but also on rational principles, emphasizing defense over offense.
In short, the Heroic Spirit Awakener before Mo Yi possesses a wide-area attack capable of destroying an entire parallel world (Heavenly Wheel Holy King), a single-target ultimate technique capable of annihilating all humans (Return to One Reincarnation), an aura that reduces the enemy's level parameters by two whenever it appears (Inherent Skills - Against Anti-Hero), the strongest passive defense that unconditionally weakens damage from physical, mental, conceptual, and dimensional attacks (Bodhi Tree Enlightenment), and the strongest melee ability (Kalaripayattu). It is truly high in defense, high in health, and strong in attack, capable of unleashing magical bombardment from afar and shattering mountains and rivers with its fists at close range!
Simply put, it's a true powerhouse – there's no distinction between strong and weak Heroic Spirits, only the invincible Awakened and the utterly useless Little An!
In Fe, aside from those Awakened Ones who slack off halfway through a fight and sit on their lotus platforms watching their Masters get killed by the protagonist Hakuno Kishinami and his Servants, there are also side stories where Awakened Ones are defeated head-on by the protagonist Hakuno Kishinami. That's only possible because the Awakened One secretly released a galaxy, and the protagonist risked Lan Yu's life to barely complete it. It's an unparalleled miracle.
Of course, summoning such a hidden figure outside the established order is not a simple matter. The conditions for summoning an enlightened being are that no Holy Relic are required. However, the summoner must be a sage who has already comprehended the concept of "saving humanity" and has committed sins of a degree that constitutes "Human Evil."
The true form of the Awakener, 'Mahavairocana Buddha', is an existence that transcends time and space. It is possible for the Awakener to appear from either the future or the past. Moreover, the Awakener possesses a skill similar to a separate manifestation. Even if the Master is destroyed, the Awakener will not disappear due to the severing of magical power. In other words, it is the same whether the Master is present or not. The Awakener can leave or stay as it pleases.
Moreover, the other party will not be summoned to fight for the Master. He is very likely to slack off. The Master's so-called wishes are insignificant in his eyes. The reason for responding to the summons is only because he wants to redeem the Master who has the concept of 'saving humanity' and show true compassion. Simply put, benefactor, you are destined to be with Buddha.
Therefore, he would try to redeem his Master, who is trapped in obsession and burdened with sin, but this redemption is often at any cost, even if it means sacrificing the entire human race in a parallel world. Perhaps in the eyes of the Enlightened One, an individual who shares his ideal of 'saving humanity' is far more important than a parallel world.
Alaya and Gaia were able to summon the Buddha only because Mo Yi and Ai Aotian met the conditions for being summoned by an enlightened being!
Mo Yi is a savior of humanity who attempts to eliminate the Counter Force. It is because of Mo Yi that Ai Aotian was born, willing to do anything to become the Counter Force Counter Force of Evil in order to eliminate it. Because of the cause and effect between Mo Yi and Ai Aotian, Mo Yi also bears some of the sin. Thus, Mo Yi fulfilled the conditions for the awakened one's summons—a sage who comprehended the concept of "saving humanity" and committed a sin of "Human Evil".
The Enlightened One: Benefactor Mo Yi, you have an affinity with the Buddha. Why not come with me to the Western Paradise? One day you will awaken and understand the principles of the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Mo Yi: But I refuse!
Hmm, this is the psychological fluctuation that occurred after Mo Yi and the Awakener looked at each other with eyes radiating Great Compassion. I don't know if the other party thought the same way or responded to Mo Yi's gaze.
"If so, this is the path to enlightenment for humanity, leading to true reality. To save all beings, I, Vajrapani, wielding a sharp blade, will guide them—"
At the center of the great halo, the enlightened one, seated on a lotus platform, looked at Mo Yi with a compassionate expression. His lips did not move, and he was even extremely far away from Mo Yi, but his voice, which Mo Yi found very pleasing, rang in Mo Yi's ears, saying, "Human savior from another world, display your power, wisdom, and way of saving the world here."
That's right, the Awakener's goal wasn't to become the Ai Aotian Counter Force the Counter Force of the cricket, which was not worth mentioning. What really mattered to him was Mo Yi from another world that even he couldn't observe, especially since the other party was also a human being with the idea of 'saving humanity'.
Therefore, whether it was to welcome guests from afar as the master of the Moon World, or to recruit like-minded people for mutual exchange, the Awakener had no choice but to make this trip.
Of course, Mo Yi didn't know that all of this stemmed from his initial words. "Eliminate the Counter Force and save the future of humanity!"
As the enlightened one said in the Fe-pakita realm—there is no need to flaunt your power against me. No matter what power you possess, I will not fear. I simply continue in meditation, waiting for the opportune moment.
Having said that, the Awakened One continued to sit upright on the lotus platform, waiting for Mo Yi to make friends through fists. At his level, there was no need for words. As long as the fight began, the personal will and ideals that had long been integrated into his entire being would be fully revealed.
After a long silence, Yaya, accompanied by the reappearance of the Signal Axe, which had now transformed back into its original form, and spoke again in Mo Yi's ear.
"Mo Yi, he means it's time to go in—"
Mo Yi: "..."
Okay, I've explained it in such profound terms, but I guess I still have to try it!
I thought I could have a good verbal exchange, and then the two of them went home satisfied.
Cough cough, of course, it's just a thought. Mo Yi doesn't think he can out-talk the Awakener.
"Limit Release Mode - Aurelion Sol, the Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger!"
Facing the Awakener, Mo Yi directly used his strongest skill. Because he was in Servant status, there was no 100-day cooldown effect. However, after reaching the limit, the Servant clone would disappear, and the Character Card would also break, requiring crystals to repair the Character Card.
Upon seeing that his opponent was an Awakener, Mo Yi abandoned his choice of the magic-based Rune Mage Ryze, the Time Guardian Zilean, or the Star Guardian Bard, which he was most proficient in. Mo Yi remembered that in the setting of the Moon World, Buddha was an existence that transcended time and space. Using an ability like 'The World' would be suicide. Before he could even get behind his opponent and deliver a classic time-stop punch, he would be blown away by the light cannons fired by the automatic turrets with Excalibur -level firepower that came with the large aura behind him.
Faced with such an all-powerful enemy, the mentality of taking shortcuts is only a forced choice when there is no other option. The best choice is to confront the opponent head-on with the strongest force!
Moreover, after being impacted by the Gaia's Power, he has now made great strides in his understanding of planets, matter, nature, and creation.
Therefore, Mo Yi chose to unleash the ultimate Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger!
"Ah--"
Although it was merely a servant clone made of magic, Mo Yi could feel himself change in an instant. The world he saw was no longer the material world perceived through his six senses (the ordinary five senses and the sixth sense - mental perception). Whether it was the various microscopic particles that constituted the world, or space and time themselves, everything was clearly visible to him.
When asked to describe it, he couldn't find a precise feeling; it was probably what people meant by something mysterious and enigmatic.
However, Mo Yi, having suddenly jumped several dimensions from a lower level to a new state, became like a child, immersed in that wonderful feeling, and had an urge to personally rub his most familiar planet, Earth, and play with it.
Mo Yi: Is this what it feels like to be a strong person? I love it!
As Mo Yi became slightly absorbed in and adapted to the feeling of being a powerful being, the Awakener, who appeared unchanged except for his eyes turning into a void azure that constantly reflected the birth and destruction of stardust, sensed an aura on Mo Yi that was at the same level as his original body.
