Lin Lin could no longer hear the Lord God's furious roar. The moment he was stabbed by the Lord God's jewel sword, Lin Lin felt himself being pulled upwards by an irresistible force from the ground, and then his consciousness was pulled into an unknown space.
Unable to distinguish east, west, north, south, or any direction, like a tunnel, Lin Lin felt like a randomly tumbling model, being rapidly pulled upwards by a brute force towards a bright light at the end. This, however, did not prevent Lin Lin from occasionally seeing images on the tunnel walls around him.
Lin Lin saw a white-haired young man let out a long roar to the sky, a golden lion wielding thunder, twin-horned steeds shaking the atmosphere, a two-headed silver dragon devouring space, a unicorn beetle with white mist filling the sky, a winged mermaid freezing the seas, a giant black sword falling from the nine heavens... twelve giant beasts, tearing the sky and earth, charging desperately towards an unknown figure in the pitch-black darkness.
This is akame ga kill (reference to the world)? Akatsuki Kojou gathered twelve familiars? Then that figure should be Cain?
The flickering image lasted only for an instant, then immediately switched to another scene.
A black-haired, red-eyed girl, like a vengeful ghost, held a katana and fought a decisive battle with another military-clad older sister with ice-blue hair. The military-clad older sister freely manipulated the power of ice and frost as if it were her own arm, but the power to freeze time was still swiftly evaded by the girl who had transformed into a vengeful ghost. In the end, a single misstep led to the fatal blade cutting her from shoulder to waist.
akame ga kill? Akame's decisive battle with Esdeath, another battle with no victor... After that, many scenes, the Infinite Tsukuyomi unfolded by the towering divine tree, the twins of fate finally saving the world; the towering walls breached by giants, humanity raising swords of resistance in a world of despair; a world infected by the void virus, the girl born of it eventually perishing; all these familiar scenes flowed before his eyes. Combining his past experiences, Lin Lin roughly knew where he was.
This should be the gap between the dimensional worlds, and where he was located was the spacetime tunnel opened for him by "God" using her abilities. So, the end of the white light should be the Type-Moon World he longed for.
It couldn't be, I'm not going to transmigrate into that old bug, right? Recalling Matou Zouken, the head of the Matou Family in the original story, who was as thin as a stick, with atrophied limbs like a mummy, a large head, and a body entirely composed of worm magic, it really made one feel nauseous and sick. And he was also the root cause of the tragedy of Rin's younger sister, Sakura.
Oh, wait, because the Lord God who helped me transmigrate was completely inexperienced; not only was the character uncertain, but even the time node was probably uncertain. What if she threw me into the prehistoric era? After all, it started with the arrival of the big spider from Mercury to Earth two thousand years before the common era, and Zhu Yue's arrival from the moon to the Nasuverse (Moon World)... If that's the case, I can probably only rely on luck to find a True Ancestor and ask her to bite me. Otherwise, I'm afraid my tombstone would be completely rotten before Little Rin's first appearance at the Fourth Holy Grail War... Looking at the approaching end of the light, Lin Lin couldn't help but feel twelve parts nervous, and that pretty face he had cherished for ten years appeared before his eyes.
Rin, for you, I abandoned everything, crossed the distance of a dimension. This time, I must see you with my own eyes, touch you, feel your existence. Protect me, protect me from being born too far from you, Rin!
Finally, the dazzling white light engulfed Lin Lin. Lin Lin felt his momentum plummet sharply as he crossed the end of the white light, and his vision completely plunged into darkness.
He felt as if he had been pulled into a giant blender, rapidly mixing with something. It seemed as if something was being stirred into his body. Although it should have been a terrible experience, it didn't feel that bad. It was as if a lock within his body was forcibly opened, and then certain things were pushed inside.
Lin Lin gradually felt his self-awareness blurring little by little, his sense of self dissipating little by little, about to completely merge with everything around him. It felt as if everything no longer mattered, just to quietly fall asleep, never to wake up again... Damn it! Hold on! I came here to see Rin, to see Saber, to personally see and feel that longed-for Nasuverse (Moon World)! I didn't come here to die! This can't be the Root, can it? It probably is. Maintain my self, as long as I hold on, everything in the Root will also extend out to the surface world and manifest as everything. The Root is the cause of everything, and a cause only produces an effect if it extends forward. What I need to do now is, persevere!
Persevere until the Root sends me down to the ground, still retaining my self-awareness! For Rin, for Saber, for this beautiful yet cruel world that I have longed for for ten years, come on!
Lin Lin desperately tried to stay conscious, desperately mobilizing his thoughts and awareness to recall everything he loved, holding on so as not to be assimilated by everything around him. At this moment, Lin Lin was like someone who had stayed up for seven days and seven nights straight without closing his eyes, lying in bed but still desperately trying to stay awake.
This feeling wasn't pain, but his conscious mind wavering between conscious and unconscious states. A slight inadvertence, or becoming too engrossed in fantasy, would lead to complete immersion, becoming a part of the Root, never to return.
In this state of wandering in a dream, on the border between waking and sleeping, with all perception of the outside world lost, millennia and a flick of a finger lost their meaning. Lin Lin didn't know how long he had floated in this dark chaos. At this point, he could no longer muster any enthusiasm for thought, completely unwilling to think about anyone, anything, or any matter, only maintaining his last shred of obsession: not to get lost, not to fall asleep.
Why can't I sleep? This really feels so uncomfortable. Ugh, I can't remember why, but I just feel like I can't fall asleep. Why, why, I have no interest in thinking about it at all. Since there's no reason, then let's sleep... But I still can't sleep... There must be some reason, right? I just don't want to think about it. What exactly is this...? Just as Lin Lin was about to convince himself to fall into the Root's oblivion, he felt himself falling rapidly, separating from a unified whole, as if plummeting into a bottomless abyss. Having escaped the assimilation with the Root's origin, Lin Lin finally recovered a bit of thought fluctuation.
That's right, I'm a transmigrator! How can I kick the bucket before I even reach my destination? Damn it, I was so close, so close! I've endured countless difficulties and dangers; now even the Root can't hold me. Who else can touch me now?!
In the infinite darkness, he seemed to see a beautiful woman with twin-tails smiling and waving at him.
Rin, wait for me!
The rapid descent ended with a strong sense of dizziness and an uncomfortable, feverish heat throughout his body.
Huh? It seems there's a wet towel on my head. I think I'm lying in bed under a quilt. This means my transmigration is complete. Now, I seem to be suffering from a fever and bedridden. Hmm, since I've regained consciousness, I should wake up quickly.
Ugh, my eyelids felt as heavy as lead. I didn't notice it just now, but now that I'm trying to move, I realize how weak this body is. Even lifting a finger is so difficult. It seems the owner of this body I've descended into had a persistent high fever, which gave me the opportunity to take over when he was at his weakest.
No, I must get up.
Ugh, I failed. My whole body was hot and dry, my mouth and throat parched. It was so uncomfortable. I need... "Water..." His voice was so weak he could barely hear it himself, and he wondered if anyone else would notice.
Unexpectedly, that tiny sound was indeed caught by someone. Accompanied by a flurry of noise, "Madam! The Young Miss is awake! The Young Miss said she's thirsty."
"Rin! My Rin is awake! Thank heavens, may God bless my Rin. Rin, just a moment longer, the water will be here soon."
What? Rin!? Rin is here too! Could it be that my deep devotion moved the Root and transmigrated my soul to be by Rin's side? I didn't expect the Root to be so understanding. Oh, right, the manifest consciousness of the Root is a gentle, amiable, and understanding older sister with a wife-like aura, Ryougi Shiki, also known as 215, or Wife-Shiki.
He felt his weak body gently supported, and a warm stream of water flowed into his mouth. His dry, fiery throat finally found relief like a long-awaited rain, and Lin Lin felt much lighter. His eyes slowly opened, finally seeing the light of day after a long period of darkness.
What met his eyes was a face of exquisite beauty, a face still with the air of a young girl, but filled with motherly love and care. Her light green eyes were like clear, emerald lakes, reflecting deep worry and affection. Her medium-length, spring onion-colored hair was scattered over her shoulders and back, and the strands by her ears swayed gently with the breeze from the window. Lin Lin, having been in darkness for so long, instinctively cried out with a dry throat, "Mama..." after seeing this scene for the first time.
However, after calling out, Lin Lin immediately came to his senses, suddenly realizing that something was wrong. This woman, who was radiating such sincere motherly love towards him, was undoubtedly Rin's mother, Tohsaka Aoi.
Her maiden name was Zenjou Aoi, born into the Zenjou Household, whose ancestors were Magicians several generations ago. Although she was now a commoner unrelated to magic, magic factors still flowed in her blood. Though not a Magician herself, she was an exceptionally excellent mother, giving birth to two daughters who both possessed outstanding potential as Magicians. She fully understood Tokiomi's inhuman values and blindly loved her husband, becoming a casualty of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
From her appearance, which was nine-tenths similar to Rin, whom Lin Lin yearned for day and night, it was clear she was Tohsaka Aoi. But the question was, why was she showing him such profound, caring motherly love? And why did he instinctively call her 'Mama'? What was this all about...? Just as Lin Lin was still pondering, he inadvertently met Tohsaka Aoi's loving gaze, and he felt he might have found the answer. For in Aoi's clear, emerald eyes, he saw the Rin he had yearned for day and night. At this moment, Rin was still a cute, doll-like loli, half-awake and groggy, with a lingering flush on her face, and a towel still on her forehead. It seemed she was sick.
But Lin Lin, at this moment, couldn't even feel heartache before realizing an even bigger problem: Tohsaka Aoi was looking at *him*.
