Fate: A Hero's Netori Conquest

　　Faced with Haru's words, Huangye Zonglian was stunned for ten seconds before he recovered.

　　"You...you also discovered the secret of her ability to resist the root? So you also came here..." Araya Soren scratched his head and guessed.

　　Araya Souren knew nothing about the secrets of Ryougi Shiki.

　　She had already touched upon the unfathomable root.

　　As a magician who pursues the "soul archetype" and is well versed in the art of awakening origins, he knows the origins of everyone.

　　When he learns that Ryougi Shiki's origin is "nothingness", he begins a plan to use her to pursue the source.

　　For Araya Soren, reaching the root is his ultimate goal, and like Tohsaka Tokiomi, he is crazy about it.

　　However, their motivations for pursuing their roots are quite different.

　　Tōsaka Tokiomi wanted to revive his family, while Araya Sōren witnessed the inevitable death of mankind in his long life of more than 200 years, and thus began to explore the origin of mankind and pursue the vortex of origin.

　　His longevity is not accidental, but stems from his own origin - "stillness".

　　After awakening, he can move freely within the barrier as a stationary object, becoming virtually immortal.

　　The origin of the two rituals is nothingness, and nothingness is the cornerstone of the birth of all things. In a sense, nothingness is equivalent to origin.

　　Therefore, Araya Souren intends to use his "Origin Awakening Technique" to stimulate the origin power of Ryougi Shiki.

　　However, he did not know that the origin of Ryougi Shiki had already awakened, but not at the soul level, but in her body, the existence called "Root Shiki".

　　Under the influence of the Yomiuri family's hundreds of years of secret techniques, Root Style successfully awakened her personality, but as a physical body, she did not have much interest in the outside world.

　　After touching the root, she had a deeper insight into the truth of the world and became more indifferent to it.

　　So, she chose to return to herself, fall asleep in her body, and let the two soul personalities, Shiki and Ori, dominate this body.

　　For two years, Araya Soren tried every possible means to stimulate Ryougi Shiki, trying to make her awaken her root, but he never succeeded.

　　The reason is that he chose the wrong person.

　　He used Shirajun Rio, who had a crush on Ryougi Shiki, to stimulate her origin of "food", causing her to commit a series of murders around Ryougi Shiki.

　　He tried to stimulate Ryougi Shiki's awakening by distorting her personality.

　　Due to the influence of the Ryougi family's secret arts, Ryougi Shiki has developed multiple personalities. In addition to the root style, the surface layers are style and weaving, representing the yin and yang sides respectively.

　　Therefore, Araya Soren envisioned making these two personalities distorted and collapsed, leading to the fusion of yin and yang, and the reverse process from Tai Chi giving birth to Liang Yi to Liang Yi dying of Tai Chi.

　　He believed that this would stimulate Ryougi Shiki to awaken the ethereal origin of "Tai Chi".

　　However, his plan did not go as he wished.

　　The physical "Tai Chi" of the root style has already awakened, but Araya Soren has been working on the soul level.

　　Therefore, despite his best efforts, he was never able to successfully inspire the origin of the Ryougi Shiki.

　　In the end, he had to turn his attention to Kurodori Mikiya, an ordinary and gentle man.

　　He guided Kuroto Kirei to fall in love with Ryougi Shiki, trying to let the presence of this ordinary person break Ryougi Shiki's lonely life.

　　However, Ryougi Shiki is afraid and feels inferior about her own uniqueness, and she breaks down when facing Kurodori Mikiya.

　　While she develops feelings for Kurodori Kirei, she also begins to deny the existence of the murderous demon Ryogi Ori in her body.

　　Ryougi Ori also doesn't want to die, and Ryougi Shiki doesn't want her to disappear either.

　　Thus, Ryougi Shiki began to fall apart.

　　On that rainy night, she wore a red kimono and started hunting down Kurodori Kan'aya.

　　Araya Souren was very excited when he saw this because he thought that Ryougi Shiki was finally starting to break down.

　　However, to his surprise, Ryougi Shiki eventually chose to commit suicide.

　　He quickly took action to stop Ryougi Shiki. What he wanted was the collapse caused by Ryougi Shiki killing Kurogane Kirei, not suicide because he couldn't bear it.

　　How can he get to the root of the problem if he committed suicide?

　　However, things did not go according to his plan.

　　Ryougi Shiki got into a car accident while escaping.

　　In desperation, Araya Soren had to come to this hospital to work and try his best to save Ryougi Shiki's life.

　　Fortunately, Ryougi Shiki did not die.

　　As a result, Araya Soren's plan came to a standstill.

　　"Let's just leave it at that! I also want to use Ryougi Shiki to pursue the root of the problem!" Haru said with a smile.

　　Araya Soren was skeptical of Haru's answer and asked, "You don't have magic circuits, you're not a magician, what source are you pursuing?"

　　"What a joke! The agent of the Holy Church is so powerful, but he doesn't have magic circuits? Can't we pursue the root if we are not magicians?" Haru laughed.

　　"So...what you did tonight is actually touching the root cause?" Araya Soren said in confusion.

　　"Yes! I really am going in and out of the root!" Haru said with a smile.

　　"Ridiculous, how is this possible!" Araya Zonglian cursed.

　　"It's so funny! What qualifications do you, a loser, have to question my methods?" Haru laughed.

　　"You..." Araya Soren was even more confused.

　　Could it be that what this kid did just now could awaken the origin of Ryougi Shiki???

　　How is this possible?

　　No matter how you look at it, this is the behavior of a pervert, right?

　　This... is it because I am too narrow-minded?

　　"Can you really awaken her origin?" Araya Soren confirmed.

　　"Yes, but it has to be very slow. After all, it takes many times in and out before crystals can be born, right!" Haru said with a smile.

　　Under the influence of [disguise work] and [intelligence], Araya Soren suddenly thought that he was an accomplice.

　　He does not object to the existence of accomplices because there is value in cooperation.

　　Moreover, under the influence of [incitement], he actually believed Haru's words.

　　Two years of failure have left Araya Soren with little confidence.

　　Faced with Haru's sudden appearance, he instead gained new confidence.

　　He smiled slightly and said, "How about this? We can work together?"

　　"I am very interested in your method. After all, our goals are the same. We both want to get to the root of the problem!"

　　"Haha, sure!" There was no need for Haru to object to him.

　　First, I didn't want to fight him, he was pretty strong.

　　Second...he originally couldn't think of a way to conquer Ryougi Shiki.

　　But when he met Araya Sōren, he had an idea.

　　His [mathematical thinking] immediately came up with the latest method.

　　That is to cooperate with Araya Souren... and then slowly deal with Ryougi Shiki.

　　You can both protect Liang Yi Shiki and look for opportunities to attack Liang Yi Shiki.

　　Rather than using love to influence Ryougi Shiki, I prefer to use the villain's method!

　　Hahahaha~!

　　"Then you use your method first. If it fails, I will use mine. How about we cooperate with each other?" Haru suggested.

　　Araya Soren thought it made sense. After all, the boy looked very confident. "Well, okay, I need help too. You can help me."

　　"Okay!" Haru said with a smile.

　　The two people started working together in this way.
