As the light screen blurred, showing a different scene
[At that decisive moment, the First Emperor's majestic voice, resonant as a great bell, echoed under the heavens: "Only those who can stand until the final moment are qualified to carry the hope of the future!"]
[His words, like the sounds of nature and the decrees of heaven, reverberated in everyone's hearts.]
["I, as the sole absolute 'Zhenren' (True Person), have absorbed the wishes of the people and borne the weight of the world. I firmly believe that only the pinnacle of power can cope with the storms soon to sweep the world. This truth is as clear as a mirror and as sharp as a blade. Do you have any objections?"]
[Faced with this sudden choice, the people of Chaldea were somewhat taken aback, but more than that, they were secretly pleased.]
[How could they let slip such a heaven-sent opportunity?]
["Hahaha!" Mordred's laughter broke the silence, "This Emperor is more reasonable than I thought. I have no objections!"]
[Her eyes shone with desire for the coming battle, as if being able to fight the Emperor of Eastern legend was the greatest honor of her life.]
[However, Chen Gong spoke in a tone verging on sarcasm: "Hmph, this conclusion is only accepted so easily when both sides' assertions are considered absurd. Nevertheless, I deeply admire Your Majesty's decision."]
[He bowed slightly to show his respect, "For military generals like myself from times of turmoil, such a method of rule is undoubtedly desirable. The world should be contested with strength and won with wisdom."]
[Hearing this, a determined light flashed in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes. He knew full well that this battle was not born of personal enmity, but to prove the value of their respective worlds and protect the beliefs in their hearts.]
["In that case, we have no way out!" He raised his head high, his voice firm and powerful, "We fight! Let the First Emperor witness that the existence of this Anti-Human History also possesses its own unique meaning and value!"]
[This was Fujimaru Ritsuka—a resolve as strong as steel and a fighting spirit blazing like flame.]
["That's right! We are the Humanity Preservation Organization, Chaldea, and we too are part of our own history on this Earth! Now, we shall compete with Your Majesty the First Emperor and you!"]
[After speaking, Mash tightly gripped her shield, brimming with fighting spirit, as if ready to meet any challenge at any moment.]
[The First Emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Hahahaha! Well said! Such eyes and such fighting spirit are worthy of my personal effort to defeat you. Come then, people of the Common Man! Let me witness your power!"]
At this moment, this battle concerning the fate of two worlds captured the attention of all viewers.
They held their breath and waited.
[The battle was about to commence, and the First Emperor displayed his shocking combat prowess.]
[He swung his sword, the blade's light like a rainbow. Sword energy cut through the sky like crescent moons, possessing astonishing power.]
[Yet, facing such a formidable opponent, Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared exceptionally calm.]
[He calmly commanded his Servants to attack. Mash, Mordred, Nezha, Chen Gong, and the other Heroic Spirits all fought with all their might for victory.]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka, the master of micro-management, once again demonstrated his astonishing tactical skill.]
[He took Andersen and thrust directly into the enemy's heart like a sharp sword.]
[Even when facing the First Emperor with his immortal body, they showed no fear and advanced courageously.]
[Under the heroic struggle of the Servants, this thrilling battle finally drew to a close.]
[As the smoke cleared, Holmes looked at the First Emperor before him, his eyes filled with admiration: "If you had continued to fight using your Divine Body, our chances of victory would have been slim. I admire your sense of responsibility for the heavy burden upon your shoulders. However, the outcome is decided. Although you have become a 'Zhenren,' your essence remains the heart of one who protects humanity."]
[Hearing this, the First Emperor slowly turned his gaze to the Chaldeans, a trace of emotion appearing in his eyes: "Ahhh—I am somewhat at a loss for words regarding this scene. Ritsuka... are the people of your world, no, the 'Common Man,' all so powerful?"]
[Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly startled. After a moment's thought, he gave his own answer: "I don't know. But... even if it weren't me, if anyone stood here, I believe the Heroic Spirits present would choose to lend him their strength without hesitation."]
[The First Emperor fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then cast his profound gaze upon the land of Kyushu, from which he had been parted for over 2,000 years, and said in a heavy tone: "So that's how it is... Is this the power of the 'Common Man' of your world? Truly remarkable."]
[The First Emperor nodded slightly, a deep light in his eyes: "You firmly believe that even if you fall, there will be successors who take up your torch and press onward. This kind of light has never shone in my world... The world of Proper Human History can nurture such tenacious existences; it is truly brimming with infinite possibilities!"]
[There was a touch of emotion in his words, as if he saw the boundless dawn of humanity's future: "If every individual can possess this strength and will to survive, then as a whole, humanity may truly be able to overcome all obstacles and reach the endless beyond..."]
[Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged a smile upon hearing this, their eyes filled with determination and trust: "Yes, we firmly believe this, and there are those who are willing to believe in us."]
[The First Emperor looked at them, a warm current surging in his heart. This was the light of hope for humanity's future.]
[He knew that the two of them could not have come this far without supporting and complementing each other.]
[Thus, he took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Very well! Then I shall wager with you on this game, and entrust the future of the compilation of history to Proper Human History. You... you must protect this hope well, and let its light shine forever!"]
[As the First Emperor's words fell, the entire video slowly came to an end, leaving behind infinite contemplation and anticipation for the future.]
At this moment, watching the flood of bullet comments, all viewers were filled with emotion.
[Bullet Comments]
[Xiang Yu]: That is my designer... I never expected to encounter him again beyond the principle of time. So it is like this. That body is undoubtedly the peak performance achievable by a humanoid form. I am truly glad that my designer can be of use in the future.
[Iskandar]: An immortal emperor... You seek peace even if it means severing the growth of your people. Hmph, what narrow-minded tyranny.
[Ivan the Terrible]: The origin of the Chinese Emperor. So that's how it is. This arrogance... ordinary people would be easily swallowed by it.
[Gilgamesh]: The only human left, shouldering the responsibility of humanity, guarding against alien barbarians. He has simply reached the ultimate achievable by humans. However, the future you hold has been closed off, and the development of civilization has been interrupted. The one who bears the stars alone... you appeared two thousand years too early.
[Leonardo da Vinci]: As expected of the spiritual power of one who has sat on the throne for 2,200 years? This tenacity, this majesty, is just like the World Tree!
[Mordred]: Hey, what? This guy is more reasonable than I thought.
[Sherlock Holmes]: If the First Emperor had maintained the form of his Divine Body, the people of Chaldea would definitely have been unable to fight him, lacking even the qualification to do so. But he chose to challenge Chaldea as a 'person'—truly admirable!
Just as everyone was sighing with emotion, words appeared again on the light screen.
[Reappearance of Type-Moon's Classic Scenes]
[The Girl Connected to the Root! The Profound Dialogue Between the Root-Type and Mikiya Kokutō!]
When this shocking title appeared before their eyes, all viewers couldn't help but be stunned, then collectively drew a sharp intake of breath.
The Root!? This term, like the brightest star in the night sky, captured everyone's attention.
The Root—that is the holy grail magi dream of, the ultimate goal they pursue throughout their lives.
It represents the origin of all things, the source of Magic, the sanctuary in the hearts of countless magi.
And now, on the light screen, appeared the incredible title, "The Girl Connected to the Root"!
Could such a girl truly exist?
In the world of Witch on the Holy Night, Aozaki Aoko saw this title and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Her eyes flashed with astonishment and curiosity. "The girl connected to the Root..." This phrase seemed to open a door to an unknown world, causing an indescribable shock in her heart.
The Root—it is so powerful it can make the impossible possible, overturning the world's rules with but a single word.
Described in more abstract terms, it is a god-like existence, yet even the word "god" feels somewhat pale and powerless in comparison.
Because the Root is a higher, more mysterious existence than gods!
At this moment, the hearts of all viewers were firmly gripped by this title. They eagerly awaited a glimpse, to see what kind of power this "Girl Connected to the Root" possessed, and what shocking story it would bring.
In Aozaki Aoko's understanding, the Root is so distant. It is hidden at the beginning of all things, veiled in mystery and immense power.
She knows that even the gods, their divinity, is merely a manifestation of the techniques of the Root.
In the long exploration by magi, none have ever truly touched its ultimate mystery.
Contacting the Root seems to imply destruction. Before the majestic power of the Root, the fragile human soul often turns to ash in an instant, with no survivors.
This has become an unshakable iron law, causing countless magi to keep their distance.
Even the famous Magic Lords in history could only linger on the periphery of the Root, cautiously spying, before hastily withdrawing to preserve their Magic and their lives.
Yet, at this moment, her worldview was completely overturned.
The large words "Girl Connected to the Root" on the screen were like a sharp dagger, piercing all her prior understanding of the Root.
"How is this possible?" Her voice was full of disbelief, her face a picture of astonishment.
What shocked her even more was that there was not just one person in this world connected to the Root.
In a certain unknown world, the strongest Magic Lord in history was also intimately connected to the Root!
This fact seemed to completely shatter her once-stable worldview, making her feel an unprecedented shock.
Complex emotions filled Aozaki Aoko's heart—both curiosity for the unknown and reluctance at having her understanding overturned.
But she knew this world was far vaster and more profound than she had imagined. She was perhaps standing at a brand new starting point, ready to meet the unknown and mysterious challenges.
At this moment, Aozaki Aoko's entire mind was captivated by the massive screen, completely unaware of the mysteries hidden behind it.
In the distant world of Kara no Kyōkai, Shiki Ryougi was also shocked by this sudden introduction, a flash of confusion and doubt in her eyes.
"'Root Shiki'? The one connected to the Root..." Shiki Ryougi whispered softly, an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She frowned slightly, as if trying to recall something, yet seemed unable to grasp anything. "Could the subject of the next video be us? But I don't remember being connected to any Root..."
There was a hint of confusion and self-mockery in her voice.
However, the truth is often more complicated than imagined.
The next protagonist could be said to be her, yet not her.
To be more precise, this would be the mysterious third personality of the dual-yin-yang Shiki.
In the strange world constructed by the fragments of Cang Yin, Arika Sajyou gazed quietly at the screen before her, the light in her eyes flickering.
When she saw the screen mention "another person connected to the Root," she couldn't help but pause, an unprecedented shock surging in her heart.
Arika Sajyou, an existence possessing the power of the Root, had always been aware of her uniqueness.
She was different from Shiki Ryougi. Shiki Ryougi had the "Root Style" within her multiple personalities, connected to the Root, whereas Arika was directly and completely integrated with the Root. Her every thought, her every action, was deeply imprinted with the mark of the Root.
This omnipotence and connection had, before meeting the Old Sword, made her feel an unprecedented loneliness and emptiness, as if the entire world had lost its color, and even the sense of being alive had become blurred.
However, the appearance of the Old Sword was like a sudden light, illuminating her gray world.
He made her experience "accident"—the feeling of something beyond expectation and out of control, allowing Ai (Arika) to taste the flavor of true life for the first time. This feeling, like nectar, moistened her parched heart and rekindled her interest in this world.
Now, the content on the screen touched her heart once more. Another person connected to the Root—what did it mean? Was it a coincidence? Or an arrangement of fate? Ai's heart was full of doubt and curiosity. She was eager to find the answer from this video, to understand the existence that shared the power of the Root with her.
And so, she stared intently at the light screen, afraid of missing any detail.
