Chapter 262 Stepping into the Vortex of Origin
The Greater Grail arrived very suddenly.

A hole brimming with immense magical power appeared in the sky above Fuyuki City.

This sight instantly attracted the attention of magicians lurking in Fuyuki City.

Before this, as darkness fell, the residents of Fuyuki City returned to their homes under the influence of a powerful magic spell and then fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because the magic trick had a very wide range of influence, its effect was not particularly strong.

This allows magicians with even a little bit of magic to resist this effect and thus maintain their sanity.

After this incident, the magicians who remained in Fuyuki City became active. They judged that such a grand magic trick must mean that something even more significant was about to happen.

Soon after, a deep blue hole appeared in their eyes.

So the magicians rushed frantically to the location where the hole appeared, eager to find out what was going on.

But this is destined to be unattainable.

Because Medea had already calculated that the Greater Grail would descend in Fuyuki Central Park, she had set up a magical array in the vicinity beforehand.

The magic stage, which combines various intricate and complex magic tricks, is practically perfect in terms of functionality.

Its only drawback is its terrifyingly high consumption of magic power.

But with Master Fu Le, whose magical power is virtually limitless, this magic array appears to be flawless.

Even at the very center of this magical array, Artoria and Medea personally guarded it to ensure that no one would disturb Fu Le when he entered the Root.

These are all defensive measures.

However, Medea arranged all of this herself.

Fu Le didn't care much about these things.

This is the absolute confidence that comes with absolute strength.

However, Fu Le still remembered Medea and Artoria's kindness.

As soon as the hole appeared in the world, Fu Le stepped into it immediately.

His journey is destined to be arduous.

After all, traveling to the Root through the Holy Grail War is only theoretically supported, but has never been actually accomplished.

In short, this theory is still being put into practice.

What Fu Le needs to do is to refine this theory with his own wisdom and then perfectly replicate it through his own practice.

To this end, Fu Le studied books related to the Matou and Tohsaka families.

With his own research, he finally felt somewhat confident.

However, he still needs to pay close attention to the practical aspects.

Therefore, his journey to the source is destined to be fraught with hardship.

However, this hardship needs to be compared with reality.

The difficulties he faced were in both theory and practice. If other magicians in the Type-Moon universe wanted to replicate this path, they would also need to face other challenges, namely the obstruction of the Counter Force.

Therefore, they might encounter obstacles such as heroic spirits, fantasy species, or even gods and true ancestors on their journey.

But none of these things will appear in front of Fu Le.

Because the inhibitory force is very clear, these are of no use to Fu Le at all.

Even when they personally intervene, it's the same.

In addition to their previous exchanges, the Restraint Force ultimately chose to let Fu Le go to the Root.

They were simply watching Fu Le's movements.

This makes the challenges that Fu Le faces when he goes to the Roots much simpler than those faced by other magicians.

Under these circumstances, how could Fu Le not succeed?

Thus, Fu Le successfully entered the source.

The Root, also known as the 'Vortex of the Root,' represents the ultimate essence of all existence and laws in the Type-Moon world.

The Vortex of Origin is described as the beginning and end of all things, the origin and end of all phenomena, laws, matter, time, space, and parallel worlds.

It records and creates the entirety of the world; it is the embodiment of 'ultimate knowledge' and 'truth' in the Type-Moon universe.

Without a doubt, the Vortex of Origin is equivalent to the destiny of the Starry Sky Railway world.

Perhaps the two differ greatly in energy level.

That's because the world's level of development is different, but the essence of the world is the same.

For the world, no matter how vast the world is, it is not fundamentally different from the everyday world without any energy level.

Therefore, by utilizing the differences in the characteristics of different worlds, Fu Le can gain a clearer understanding of the essence of the world.

To gain more control over the world.

Such is the case at this moment.

"Such treasures exist in this world; is this the diversity of the world?"

The moment he stepped into the Vortex of Origin, all the laws that make up the world appeared in Fu Le's eyes, and endless knowledge and truth flowed into Fu Le's brain.

He immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

This is a vast knowledge system that Fu Le has never encountered before.

Even as he stepped into the Vortex of Origin, Fu Le maintained his own thoughts.

But the next moment, his thoughts were overwhelmed by the endless knowledge, and his brain was immediately overwhelmed by the vast amount of knowledge to the point of crashing.

He was immersed in the vortex of origin, drifting there like a soulless corpse.

In other words, Fu Le is very powerful, or rather, he has a strong ability to protect himself.

If one were a person from the ordinary Type-Moon world, almost none of them would ever be able to leave once they stepped into the Root.

Others who have entered the legend of the Root have only reached the edge of the Root.

Characters like Fu Le, who directly step into the center of the Root and wholeheartedly undergo its baptism, are the only ones who, apart from certain Type-Moon natives who are born with an extremely close, almost bug-like connection to the Root, can leave alive.

Even the powerful envoys of the Starry Sky Railway World are no exception.

After all, the Vortex of Origin is of such a high level that it is comparable to a Star God.

In Fu Le's view, he might be a star god-like being, except that he was born with almost no will of his own.

And there is no other such existence in this world.

This highlights its supreme status.

Like the Star Gods of the Starry Sky Railway World, although they each have their own preferred paths and destinies, they are all omniscient and omnipotent beings if there is no interference from other Star Gods.

Therefore, in Fu Le's view, the Vortex of Origin is like a star god who governs concepts such as 'knowledge and truth', is very similar to the Venerable of Broad Knowledge, but has no consciousness, and is willing to give all his knowledge to the life of this world (as long as you are not assimilated).

Within the body of such a great being, endless baptism by knowledge at the level of a star god makes it impossible for even beings at the level of an envoy to survive.

But Fu Le is different; he has already maxed out his survival skills.

Among Fu Le's three talents, the Power of Abundance had already reached level ten after the Immortal Boat Battle, giving him the strength of an Abundance Envoy.

It was also at that time that Fu Le's abundant power gave birth to a new ability: [immortality].

This is the ultimate survival ability.

This immortality affects not only Fu Le's physical body but also his soul. With this ability, he is naturally invincible in the world of the Starry Sky Railway.

However, there are exceptions.

Most of the same level of Commander-level powerhouses could not kill him, except for the Void Commander.

The power of nothingness overcomes everything; among those of the same level, only she can kill Fu Le.

Otherwise, only the Star God himself could kill Fu Le.

Of course, this is in the world of the Starry Sky Railway. In other worlds, many powerful beings whose strength is far below that of the Star God would also have the ability to kill Fu Le.

After all, every ability has its limits.

It's like an unbreakable shield and a sword that can cut through anything.

Both of these concepts are very absolute, but once they collide, a winner will be decided, and at that point, the level of ability will be compared.

In the Starry Sky Railway world, below the Star God are the Commanders.

Although the strength of the envoys varies greatly, the difference lies in the amount of energy they control. While there are differences in their ability levels, they are not at the level of overwhelming each other.

Before reaching the level of Commander, Fu Le didn't dare to even touch the Commander of Destruction.

However, after reaching the Envoy level, although she still couldn't defeat the Envoy of Destruction, she could already survive her attacks. This was because the power of Destruction could no longer overwhelm the power of Abundance, and she could no longer kill Fu Le.

However, this is a situation arising from the unique characteristics of the Starry Sky Railway world.

Given the difference between Star Gods and Commanders, in those strictly hierarchical worlds, three or four levels could be distinguished, and the difference between each level was also extremely large.

Within such a power structure, many individuals will emerge who, despite still being far behind the Star Gods, have undergone multiple transformations in their ability levels, enough to overwhelm Fu Le's skill level.

Therefore, Fu Le still needs to be wary in other worlds.

After all, the situation in the Starry Sky Railway World is the special case.

Fortunately, the Type-Moon world is not like that.

Although Fu Le judged that the Vortex of Origin had reached the level of a Star God in terms of status, this great being of the Star God level had no intention of destroying Fu Le; it simply stayed there quietly.

His powerful destructive force comes from the passive impact brought about by his vast knowledge.

This passive impact can even assimilate powerful beings at the Envoy level.

However, compared to Fu Le, whose survival skills are maxed out, he is slightly inferior.

Thus, although Fu Le lost consciousness due to the baptism of the vast knowledge of the Vortex of Origin, he himself was not assimilated, but instead drifted in the Vortex of Origin.

Logically speaking, Fu Le might be forever trapped in the vortex of origin, like the living dead.

But not so.

Fu Le's 'gene lock' and 'gene editing' abilities, which he obtained from the One-Punch Man world and the Power of Abundance, have enabled him to continuously evolve.

It's just that his previous strength was too great, so his evolution speed seemed a bit slow.

But that slowness is apparent in comparison.

In fact, Fu Le's improvement speed is very fast; he is much faster than Saitama.

Saitama evolved from an ordinary person into One-Punch Man, capable of shattering planets with a single punch, in just three years. This speed of growth would be considered extremely rapid in any world.

It's just that Fu Le evolved faster by using other abilities.

At this moment, this power of evolution fully exerted its capabilities.

Under the relentless onslaught of knowledge, Fu Le's brain suffered severe damage.

Thus, under the simultaneous influence of the power of abundance and the power of evolution, Fu Le's brain began to continuously repair and evolve.

Along with this, Fu Le's body also changed.

After all, the brain's high level of sophistication is closely related to the body.

In this way, Fu Le's brain was constantly being destroyed, repaired, evolved, and destroyed again under the endless baptism of knowledge. This process was repeated again and again.

Until a certain point, through continuous evolution, Fu Le was finally able to preserve his will within this vast knowledge.

Then he woke up.

"This is really dangerous!"

Upon waking up, Fu Le couldn't help but sigh inwardly at her own condition.

Although it was very dangerous, it was always under Fu Le's control.

Before stepping into this place, Fu Le had already left a clone on his 'Contract of Evolution'.

Once his body can no longer withstand the onslaught and shows signs of assimilation, he will immediately teleport Fu Le back to the 'Black Bullet' world, back to Black Tower and Ruan Mei's side.

However, this did not happen, so everything was still under Fu Le's control.

"But the situation isn't that optimistic."

Fu Le examined his internal physical condition and made a bad judgment.

Although this knowledge has not yet been completely assimilated into Fu Le, it has somehow seeped in during Fu Le's continuous self-repair process.

The poison of knowledge is terrifying; it has even come to life.

However, considering the high status of the Vortex of Origin, Fu Le could understand.

But this also means that he doesn't have much time left to stay here.

"Then let's take everything we can first!"

Surrounded by a vast ocean of knowledge, Fu Le began to shift from a passive to an active approach, seeking out knowledge that was suitable for him to absorb or understand.

For Fu Le, the most important thing is probably knowledge related to martial arts.

This relates to the crucial question of whether he can master his own power and whether he can unleash even greater power in the future.

Everything else can be postponed in comparison.

After all, the vortex of origin is right here, and he can come back again in the future.

Fu Le even had the idea of ​​completely taking control of the Type-Moon world, after all, the Vortex of Root was just too tempting.

Immersed in the vortex of origin, Fu Le searched for knowledge related to martial arts.

As the source of all knowledge, the Vortex of Origin naturally contains knowledge of martial arts.

Furthermore, the knowledge contained therein is quite advanced.

It seems as if the knowledge of martial arts is obtained by thinking with the mind of a star god. Its form is exceptionally simple yet profound, like the general outline of martial arts knowledge.

Fu Le approaches these questions through learning, thereby elevating his thinking abilities to their peak.

He greedily absorbed all kinds of knowledge related to martial arts from the Vortex of Origin.

No matter how greedily he absorbed it, new martial arts knowledge could still flow from the Vortex of Origin.

Nothing could be more endless than this.

He left only when Fu Le felt that his body had reached the critical point of assimilation.

At that time, he still hadn't fully absorbed the knowledge related to martial arts.

This made Fu Le's eyes filled with reluctance as he left.

He really doesn't want to leave this place.
