Collapse, surrender to me!

"Oh? It seems that you and Ms. Fujino have a good relationship. If you die, she will definitely be very sad."

"That's right." Grayshu nodded.

"That's really unfortunate. It seems that the future prepared for Miss Fujino can only be given to you temporarily."

"Then I really thank you."

Grayshu shook her head and looked towards a building not far away.

"Now that we're here, why don't you come out and see me?"

"What do you mean by meeting? I'm not on your side at all!"

Pingcang Guangliu was so shocked that he almost jumped.

"I just need to set the bomb. There is no need for me to appear in front of you. I am also talking to you in an apartment far away from you now."

"Not only did he do something bad, he also lied."

Grace doesn't like children who tell lies.

"Have you heard the story of Pinocchio? If you lie, your nose will grow longer."

"Judging from your voice, you should be much younger than me, you..."

Pingcang Guangliu was just about to laugh at Grayshu.

I found myself lowering my head unconsciously.

It was as if something heavy was hanging in front of his head... He looked back at the mirror.

What I saw was my nose which had grown several dozen centimeters longer at some point.

This time he was so shocked that he jumped up.

But he remembered the scene when Asagami Fujino twisted the reinforced concrete last time.

I thought this was Gray's ability.

Asagami Fujino can distort matter, and as Fujino's companion, it is not surprising that he has some strange abilities.

I just didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

Although he didn't know how to make his elongated nose return to normal.

But killing Grayshu... should be enough.

He was going to draw a target for Gray.

Since the stage was well prepared, and Fujino didn't come, Gray modified it and used the same one.

The voice in the receiver was faint, but full of joy.

What the bomb demon is doing is piling up reality.

According to his calculations, Gresh will die in two minutes.

At the same time, he also began to use the power of his right eye to fix this result (the future).

Soon after, Greshu will walk onto the bridge, at which time a bomb on a truck on the bridge will explode and the shock wave will engulf Greshu.

The bomb demon was sitting in the special seat, eagerly waiting for the future he saw to come true.

"Don't you think you can't die, that the future is on your side?"

Pingcang Guangliu felt that there would be no problem in the future, and he breathed a sigh of relief, not even caring about his longer nose.

He even developed the standard villain's talkative nature.

"You will die. You will definitely die. You will die in the next explosion. You cannot change it. In fact, I can see all the futures. The future I see will never change."

"Oh? You can see my future?"

Grayxiu smacked her lips.

She didn't believe it.

But the tone of the person on the phone who was in Pingcang's voice was not fake.

The people and abilities in this world are very strange.

This brings us to the root of this world.

All things have an ultimate cause, which is absolute.

It is the beginning and final location of the universe.

At the Root there is the "record of everything".

It has no consciousness of its own and cannot have direction.

It is just the reason for the flow, like the root vortex. Everything in the universe flows out and derives from that vortex.

According to Aozaki Touko's explanation, the Root Vortex should be the "cause" of everything, the starting point of various phenomena. Since as long as there is a "cause", there will be a "result", so in terms of existence, this is the "ultimate knowledge".

But Grayshu knew that the Root Vortex had its own will.

Just like the tree of imaginary numbers.

However, for humans, this will of existence will not appear before them, nor will it have any impact on humans.

And precisely because of the existence of the Root Vortex, the talents and abilities of the people in this world are essentially innate.

Just like Kiritsugu can make special ammunition based on his own origins.

If attributes are the fundamental elements that determine a magus's nature, then something deeper than that that determines the essence of existence is "origin."

The origin is not just the magician, but the directionality that all existence is born with, and is considered inseparable from existence itself.

A magician who expresses "origin" strongly sometimes deviates from the usual attributes, and the origin itself becomes an attribute.

Most of these magicians display outstanding expert talent, and are therefore considered to have reached a higher level than ordinary magicians.

For example, Shirou Emiya's origin is "sword", and his attribute as a magician also becomes "sword".

Since his attributes are not the five elements, he is not good at magic that uses the five elements. On the contrary, he can manifest the inherent barrier "Infinite Sword System".

When Shirou dies and returns to the root, the origin of the sword will also return, but will then be spewed out by the vortex of the root and become a new individual.

This new individual will be a sword bone like Shirou.

But maybe he will never touch a sword in his life and will just be an ordinary person.

Completely different fates.

From this perspective, the Root Vortex also carries the function of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Quite magical.

Hikari Heikura's future vision is probably an awakened ability that originated from the Root Vortex.

And everyone comes from the vortex of origin.

Then it is easy to understand why Heikura Koryu has this bug-like ability to fix the future, after all, they are essentially the same.

But Grayshu has no connection with this world.

The sword of the previous dynasty can never kill the officials of this dynasty.

Do not……

Grace remembered.

She's still really connected to this world.

She is the most ancient king.

In other words, the future that Heikura Koryu saw was probably the future of Grayshu, the oldest king who was connected to this world.

"...Well, it's normal that you don't believe it. You can't possibly understand what I saw. The future I saw was absolute and true, just like an equation. As long as the numbers (now) are determined, the answer cannot be changed."

When Graysh was thinking, Pingcang Guangliu thought that the other party was treating him as a clown.

After all, when I talk to others about foreseeing the future, this is the reaction. I'm used to it.

"Reality is a formula whose value has not yet been determined."

The numerical value of the equation will keep changing, and people don’t even know what to find, let alone the answer.

However, once this value is determined, the answer will never change.

This is the bomb demon, the future that Pingcang Guangliu sees.

In order to realize the successful future he saw, he filled in the value called reality in the equation.

This was not of his free will.

It is meaningless to mix in personal interests, preferences, joys, sorrows, anger and all optimistic predictions.

...that's right.

As long as he sees the correct answer, he has no chance of taking other wrong actions.

Even if the action taken does not bring any happiness (now), he cannot go against the successful future he sees.

Because he sees the future, he constrains his past (present).

He is like a slave, constantly going back and forth between the present and the future just to make the future come true.

There is a type of diary-exposure novel, in which the diary is exposed first, and then the character travels back to the past to do what is written in the diary, giving the novel a weird feeling of making the future come true.

This is Pingcang Guangliu's ability to see the future.

"...For nearly six years, I have had no will of my own. I am just like a machine bound by the future I see. Is the me in my left eye the real me? Or is the me in my right eye the real me? Or am I just a ghost wandering between my left and right eyes? To be honest, I don't know myself."

The bottle warehouse is telling the story.

Grace listened.

But I remembered Elio, the slave of fate.

Perhaps Elio did the same thing, determining the only future, and then constantly acting in the present (that is, the past from the future's perspective).

But at least Elio is supported by his faith.

The bottle compartment is bare.

Grayshu stepped onto the bridge.

The truck, which had been pre-loaded with explosives, was parked three meters in front of her.

There were no vehicles passing on both sides. Although there were people on the other side of the bridge, at that distance, even if they were affected, the worst that would happen was that their left arm would be burned.

"Do you think this thing can handle me? You've seen Fujino's ability, right? Do you think this thing can handle her?"

"of course can."

Pingcang Guangliu didn't say much.

His confidence lies in the fact that the explosion was almost instantaneous, and Asagami Fujino's reaction speed should still be within the range of ordinary people.

I can't react at all.

"Okay then, just detonate it quickly so that I can give up." Grayshu said indifferently.

"..."

Hearing these words, the bomber's throat suddenly choked.

The fingers that were placed on the remote control, ready to light the fuse, were trembling slightly.

"Didn't I say I wasn't there? And how did you know I had the detonator?"

"Because I saw you." Gray said as a matter of course.

"…How is it possible that you can see me when we are so far apart?"

"Even if you go to Antarctica to be a penguin, I can still see you."

"..."

Pingcang Guangliu felt himself getting nervous.

What Grayshu was saying was right; he was indeed nearby.
