The marriage of Shuvi and Riku made the audience watching the video feel the love that transcended species.
This love was enough to move anyone.
However, despite being moved, those watching the video also knew that the Great Human Plan was about to begin.
This kind of sickeningly sweet plot right before a great war made people feel that perhaps it would have been better if the story ended right here.
Because most people had a premonition: with it being this sweet now, an unimaginable tragedy might follow. Because of this, some people couldn't even bear to keep watching.
But despite those thoughts, many still intended to continue watching for a simple reason.
What if it's a perfect ending after all?
Right? It couldn't possibly be a 'everyone dies' ending.
The video continued playing.
After Shuvi and Riku's marriage, the humans began to move. In a forest, three figures were running while letting out growls.
On the path in the center, a single figure stood there.
Swish—!!!
The three figures appeared from different angles, pouncing toward the central figure. Sharp claws were bared from their hands, they wore masks, and their beastly aura was quite obvious.
Ugh—!!!
But soon, these three figures seemed to sense something, showing expressions of extreme shock.
One of them, wearing a mask like a malevolent ghost with horns on his head, looked at the person ahead and said: "There's a scent... it's Black Ash!"
Wary, extremely wary. It was clear they stopped their attack at the same time because they smelled that the being in front of them had Black Ash on their body.
"As expected of the Werebeast Race."
At that moment, the figure ahead spoke. He was covered from head to toe in clothes, making it unclear which race he belonged to. He stood there and said quite nonchalantly: "I don't mind if you eat me, but I'm sure I won't taste very good."
The person silently lifted a corner of his clothes, revealing skin that was 'festering' because of the Black Ash.
"You... who exactly are you?" one of the Werebeasts in front asked.
The person wrapped in clothes did not answer the question. Instead, he said: "The western coast of the Lucia Continent, which you use as a base..."
"...the Goblin Race is preparing to conduct a detonation experiment there."
?!!!!"
The three Werebeasts were shocked. Clearly, they hadn't expected the Goblin Race to be planning a detonation experiment at their base.
To the Goblin Race, it was a detonation experiment, but to the Werebeasts, this was certainly not something to be happy about.
At the same time, what shocked them even more was how this guy in front of them knew internal intelligence about the Goblins. Just who was he?
Before the Werebeasts could finish being shocked, the figure in front silently pulled out a map and said with a smile: "This is a weapon of mass destruction called Marrow Burst, capable of killing even the Phantasma Race."
!!!!!!!!"
The fur on the three Werebeasts stood on end. Just hearing the name gave them a distinct sense of dread.
Because in this era, the Phantasma Race were the top entities; they were the primary combatants vying for the star cup.
Had the Goblins already developed a weapon that could kill an Old Deus?! Thinking of this, the Werebeasts naturally felt immense fear.
Moreover, the location the other party was using for the experiment was their own base. In other words... the Goblins were preparing to move against them.
Just as the three Werebeasts were feeling terrified, the mysterious person slowly spoke: "You are Blood Destruction individuals, right? You should be able to easily infiltrate the Goblin facilities."
"You can infiltrate and take it to dispose of it, as you wish."
After the mysterious person's words fell, the scene shifted slightly, revealing that the Werebeasts subsequently stole the Marrow Burst from the Goblins.
However, rather than saying it was stolen, it was more like the Werebeasts went on a rampage and forcibly snatched the Marrow Burst from the Goblins; the claw marks on the walls were enough to prove this.
Then, as the Goblin fleet appeared, Riku's voice rang out.
"The Goblin fleet, wary of the Werebeasts, has already started moving."
"The Werebeasts, fearing the detonation of the Marrow Burst, have also withdrawn from the Lucia Continent."
"Next... leak the Elf Race's classified information to the Goblins."
Another image appeared. On the Goblin fleet, a personnel member wearing glasses had data related to Void Ranko Zero reflected in his lenses.
Clearly, Riku had already leaked the classified information to the Goblins.
The other party would certainly be on guard against the Elf Race.
"And then..."
The camera shifted to Riku as he reached out and grabbed a handful of Black Ash from the ground.
When Riku gripped the Black Ash, his hand began to fester, yet he felt nothing, saying with absolute determination: "This will be the final end!"
The scene changed slightly. In a place filled with the aura of nature, an Elf Race woman dressed in a way that blended with nature reached out, a magic circle expanding beside her.
She looked ahead and said in a very calm and serious voice: "Who is there?"
"This?" Riku slowly walked out. He looked at the Elf woman in front of him and said, "I am but a ghost."
This Elf woman was named Sinkan Nirvalen, the strongest among this generation of the Elf Race.
Sinkan frowned slightly as she looked at the appearing Riku and said: "To intrude into someone else's home, you must have something very important to say."
Her underlying meaning was: if you don't have something important, then you are an intruder.
Facing this strongest individual of the Elf Race, Riku showed no panic. Instead, he said very calmly: "I just want to play a simple game with you."
"A game?" Sinkan Nirvalen seemed somewhat puzzled.
Riku stepped aside slightly, revealing the Chess set behind him. He continued: "The stakes between us are information. If I win, you tell me your information; if I lose, it's the other way around."
Riku knew the Elves had ways to detect lies in his speech, but everything he said was the truth, so no matter what, the other party would fall into the trap.
Furthermore, he was currently covered in Black Ash, so she couldn't gauge his strength. She would naturally assume he was stronger than her.
Therefore, she definitely wouldn't act rashly.
Sure enough, Sinkan Nirvalen took the bait. She revealed a slight smile and said: "What makes you think that I, Nina Clive, would accept a challenge from a nobody?"
"Then I'll give you a piece of information first." Riku lowered his head and said in a very indifferent voice: "The Void Ranko Zero spell has been discovered by the Goblins. How about that information?"
!!!!!"
Sinkan Nirvalen's eyes widened slightly, unable to maintain her previous composure.
Riku, showing a hint of a smile and not rushing at all, said: "As the theoretical creator of the Void Ranko Zero spell, you can surely use your own methods to judge the truth of this information, can you not?"
The scene shifted slightly. In the encrypted intelligence Riku and Shuvi had seen in the Elf laboratory, the name Nina Clive had been revealed.
Clearly, afterward, Shuvi and Riku had found a way to decrypt that intelligence and obtained this name.
"..." Sinkan Nirvalen looked at Riku. After a moment of silence, she revealed a gentle smile and said: "Fine. Whatever your origin, it seems I cannot leave you be. Then, my stake is that the creator of Void Ranko Zero is actually..."
"...actually not you."
Riku finished Sinkan Nirvalen's sentence.
This caused Sinkan Nirvalen, who had been narrowing her eyes while plotting something, to fall into a brief silence.
Riku said very indifferently: "I already possess that information."
Then Sinkan Nirvalen revealed an inscrutable smile, a unique light flickering in her palm. This was the ability to verify lies.
Riku turned his head to look at Sinkan and continued: "I also know your information is false."
!!!"
At this moment, Sinkan Nirvalen truly showed a shocked gaze. Her intention had been discovered by the other party.
Right now, Riku was like an omniscient being. His voice sounded very calm as he said: "You attempted to use magic to make me believe that false information."
"..."
Sinkan Nirvalen turned her head slightly, her eyes filled with 'killing intent' because she felt the guy in front of her was reading her thoughts.
At the same time, she felt deeply shaken. How could the other party so easily state so much classified information, as if this information were knowledge he could flip through at will?
Since she couldn't see through Riku, Sinkan Nirvalen ultimately held back and did not attack. Rashly provoking him would be a very foolish thing if he were a member of a higher-ranked race.
Riku, who was being viewed with great wariness, stood by the Chess set. His voice remained steady and unhurried: "Now, my stake is: although they have discovered Void Ranko Zero, why do the Goblins still believe it poses no threat?"
"What did you say?!" Sinkan Nirvalen was shocked once again. One had to know that Void Ranko Zero was already a secret among secrets.
Yet this person also knew information about other races?!
"Could it be..." Just as Sinkan Nirvalen was about to think.
Riku interrupted her again, saying calmly: "Just as you are thinking, I already possess information on a weapon the Goblins believe is equal to or greater than Void Ranko Zero."
Then the scene flashed. The details of the conversation were unclear, but Riku handed the Goblin intelligence to Sinkan Nirvalen.
"Marrow Burst?"
Sinkan Nirvalen learned of the Goblins' trump card, her voice sounding somewhat doubtful.
"Correct." Riku nodded slightly. He casually knocked over a Chess piece while saying indifferently: "A weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying an entire continent."
Sinkan Nirvalen sat opposite Riku. While her posture was 'elegant,' her expression could be described as quite ugly.
"To think those despicable scumbags created a weapon that surpasses the one I made with all my Spirit Power."
At this moment, Sinkan Nirvalen was clearly unwilling to accept this. Meanwhile, after 'losing,' Riku silently packed up the chessboard and prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait a minute." Seeing Riku about to leave, Sinkan Nirvalen looked at him and said, "During our chess game, you seemed to have been losing to me on purpose."
"Hum—!!"
Sinkan Nirvalen narrowed her eyes, and a distinct aura rose from her body. She stared at Riku very seriously and said, "Tell me one last thing: are you an enemy or a friend?"
Clearly, Sinkan Nirvalen planned to decide her next move based on his answer.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. People outside the video who knew Riku well broke into a cold sweat.
If the opponent suddenly released an attack spell at this moment, Riku would be exposed immediately.
This was the most critical moment.
"Neither an enemy nor a friend." Riku spoke, turning around to look at Sinkan Nirvalen, his voice very calm. "If possible, I hope there will be no more deaths among your people."
"..."
Sinkan Nirvalen stared at Riku for a long time before closing her eyes. Her voice was very leisurely as she said, "Alright, Mr. Ghost. What I do after getting this information is entirely up to me, isn't it?"
"..."
Riku didn't say anything and slowly walked outside.
"By the way," Sinkan Nirvalen said, looking at Riku's back, "Nina Kleib is an alias; my real name is actually Sinkan Nirvalen. That's the one~"
Sinkan Nirvalen showed a very beautiful smile. Looking at Riku's back, she asked, "Did you see through my acting?"
"Hmph~" Riku seemed to smile. He said indifferently, "I don't think I ever called you Nina."
"..."
Sinkan Nirvalen was silent for a moment. Her voice was very calm as she said, "Speaking of which, since you dared to play with me like this, I will definitely make you regret it."
Sinkan Nirvalen clenched her fists, her expression becoming quite 'kind' as she continued, "Because the source of the rumors about the Elf Race being very vengeful is precisely me, Nirvalen."
The scene shifted slightly to a cave.
Riku fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful sound.
"Riku!!!" Seeing him like this, Shuvi decisively pulled a transmission tube from her body and stuffed it quite roughly into Riku's mouth. She said in a panic, "Quick, drink the decontamination fluid!!"
Countless fluids entered Riku's body through the tube. Shuvi looked at Riku with great heartache and said, "Riku, you liar! You promised only one hour, but you inhaled so much Black Ash and held on for over two hours!!"
At this moment, Riku's body had been corroded beyond recognition by the Black Ash.
After pulling out the transmission tube, Riku spoke in a raspy voice, "What else could I do? If I hadn't, my true identity would have been seen through instantly."
"Moreover, with her high intelligence, she would never have expected such a suicidal act from me."
At this moment, Riku's voice sounded a bit proud because he had fooled the most intelligent person of the Elf Race.
In this way, the most difficult part of the plan was almost successful. Next, it was up to fate.
"Riku..."
Shuvi turned Riku over and froze at that moment.
"It seems this hand of mine is no longer usable."
Riku smiled bitterly. His hand had been completely corroded by the Black Ash; there was no hope of saving it.
"..."
Shuvi's pupils trembled slightly. Looking at the severely injured Riku, she didn't seem like an Ex-machina race at this moment, but a real human.
She had her own 'heart,' so she was now influenced by emotions.
"Hey," Riku looked at Shuvi and forced a smile. "How much longer do you think I can live?"
Shuvi silently picked Riku up on her back, her eyes very determined. "I won't let you die. Riku must stay alive until Shuvi dies!"
Riku silently looked up at Shuvi. Half of his face was already severely eroded by the Black Ash. He asked, "Then how long is the lifespan of an Ex-machina race?"
Hearing Riku's words, Shuvi replied, "The remaining service life is about 892 years."
"Haha~"
Even now, Riku still had the heart to laugh. He said seriously, "Then I really have to work hard."
Outside the video.
Magical Girl Illya World.
"Ah... why do it this way?" Illya looked at Riku with great heartache. She felt very bad inside. Why did it have to be like this?
For the so-called plan to proceed, Riku had essentially lost half his life.
Even through the screen, Illya could feel that Riku's life was like a candle in the wind. Even if he luckily survived, he probably wouldn't live much longer.
"Is this... for hope?"
Looking at Riku, Miyu seemed to feel it deeply. She was dazed for a moment, as if she saw her battle-worn brother walking toward her.
For victory and to liberate her from that hopeless world, her brother must have also gone through unimaginable difficulties to reach her side.
Whether it was Riku or her own brother, they could give everything for their goals, even if they had to burn themselves out.
"For hope, huh? Humans..."
At this moment, magical ruby also sighed slightly. Although she wasn't human, her masters and creators were.
So at this time, she could more or less feel the greatness of humanity.
Even in the face of such powerful enemies, humans could still rely on their intelligence and the information they possessed to make the opponent hesitate.
Riku successfully bluffed that Elf Race, the existence named Sinkan Nirvalen.
But the price was that he himself was corroded by the Black Ash, with one foot already in the grave.
"But it's okay!" Illya looked seriously at Riku in the video and said, "He promised Shuvi that as long as Shuvi doesn't die, he will work hard to live on."
At this moment, Illya still believed in miracles. As long as Riku won and obtained the so-called star cup.
Although she didn't know what the star cup was, it should be similar to the legendary Holy Grail. As long as he got that, he could heal his body. Even if he couldn't live forever, living happily should be fine.
No Game No Life World.
The Blank Siblings and Stephanie successfully found the person who had taken the gem engraved with the names of Corone, Riku, and Shuvi.
The person's name was Kurami Zell. She was a beautiful girl, but unfortunately, she was flat-chested, the kind where there wasn't much difference between her front and back.
As soon as they met, Sora wanted to win back Stephanie's clothes from Kurami in the name of friendship.
After all, Stephanie had been 'naked' all this time. In a sense, her image was particularly bad!
"Hmph, these clothes? Here, take them back. Don't waste my time."
Seeing that they were standing up for Stephanie, Kurami, who was busy with her coronation, naturally didn't care about the clothes in her hand. She casually threw them on the ground.
"Swish—!!"
At this moment, Stephanie burst out with unprecedented speed, directly hugging the clothes containing the ancestral gem in her arms.
Because of this, she fell heavily to the ground, but when she found her clothes were 'intact' and the gem was still there, Stephanie clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eh?!"
Kurami looked at Stephanie with some surprise, not understanding why she would do something so dramatic for a piece of clothing.
"Since the clothes are back, we'll take our leave!"
The Blank Siblings also didn't expect the other party to return the clothes so readily.
Both the Blank Siblings and Stephanie left without another word after leaving those words.
This left Kurami scratching her head, looking puzzled. What was going on?
For some reason, seeing the Blank Siblings and Stephanie run so fast, Kurami's heart skipped a beat, as if she had lost something very important.
"Well~ it's not like it was anything particularly important."
At this moment, a woman with fluffy blonde hair and a large chest appeared. Her name was Feel Nirvalen, a member of the Elf Race and also a deeply hidden existence.
The "deeply hidden" here referred to her strength. She had always played the image of an incompetent person, but in reality, she was an out-and-out genius with great strength.
She was also watching the multiverse projection, so she knew the true purpose of the Blank Siblings and Stephanie coming over.
Asking for the clothes was just a verbal excuse.
"What's going on?" Kurami looked at Feel Nirvalen in confusion, asking her what was happening.
"The multiverse projection, the video you just stopped watching, is currently showing footage of the Great War from six thousand years ago." Feel Nirvalen looked at Kurami with a smile. "It just showed my ancestor being played by a human. It's quite funny."
"What?" Kurami showed a shocked expression. You should know that six thousand years ago, Feel's ancestor was the strongest individual of the Elf Race.
She was also known as one of the most intelligent existences in the history of the Elf Race. Such an existence could be played?
"Yes~ she was played~ that human is indeed impressive." Feel Nirvalen smiled as if her ancestor being played was no big deal. She continued, "However, that's not the point. The point is that what they came to ask for wasn't the clothes, but the gem on the clothes."
"A gem?"
Kurami was a bit dazed because after she got Stephanie's clothes, she didn't pay much attention and didn't see any gem.
After all, she intended to return them the next time they met. She just didn't expect them to be so impatient and come looking for her after only a few hours.
Since they came to get the clothes back, Kurami naturally didn't care and just threw them over.
But the subsequent actions were the reason for Kurami's confusion. It was just a piece of clothing; was there a need to be so excited?
Now that Feel had said so, there must be some special secret to the gem on those clothes.
"That's right~ what they wanted was the gem engraved with names on the clothes." Feel Nirvalen looked at Kurami and continued, "There are three names engraved on it, all names from six thousand years ago, and the surname is Dola."
"Dola?" Kurami thought of it and said in surprise, "Corone Dola? The legendary queen who established Elchea, the largest nation of the Human Race, and ruled steadily until her death?"
As a member of the Human Race, how could Kurami not know about this legendary queen?
It could be said that she was the queen of all humans. Without her, humans could never have reached where they are today.
Thinking of this, Kurami's expression softened. She said indifferently, "So that was the reason. Well, it doesn't matter. The item can be considered returned to its original owner. I hope that fellow won't be so careless and lose it in a bet again."
Although Kurami was very dissatisfied with the Foolish King, she still held a certain level of respect for Corone Dola.
"Yes, I thought so too, which is why I didn't come out to stop you."
Feel Nirvalen nodded slightly. She also felt the gem had no real use, so she didn't expose the little scheme of the Blank Siblings and Stephanie.
It was just a small trinket; how much could it be worth?
"Mhm." Kurami nodded slightly. Then she turned her gaze to the multiverse projection. She had too many things to deal with lately, so she hadn't watched this Godly Reversal video much.
Now, based on what Feel said, the video was showing the past of her own world, so she planned to watch it.
On the other side, inside the library.
Jibril remained silent. She looked at Riku and Shuvi in the video, sensing the'strength' of the Human Race in a sense.
They only knew some classified information, yet with their intelligence and courage, they played the major higher races like fools.
As expected, the name 'Ghost' lived up to its reputation. Their actions in the shadows were indeed very clever. But if it was only this much, they couldn't achieve true victory.
Because no matter what, strength would ultimately decide the outcome.
At the same time, the active performance of Riku and other humans six thousand years ago surprised and shocked Jibril.
Previously, although the Blank Siblings were considered part of the Human Race, they were humans from a different world. Therefore, strictly speaking, they couldn't be counted as the Human Race of this world.
But the performance of Riku and the others now did indeed change Jibril's view of the Human Race slightly, but only slightly.
"What will happen next?"
Jibril's expression was very serious. She wanted to know what Riku's next move would be now that everything was ready.
From what she could see, besides Shuvi, other members of the Ex-machina race had not yet appeared.
The following plot should be the Ex-machina race's turn to take the stage. Would Riku go to persuade them? Or would he let Shuvi use precious data to make them act?
Various conjectures appeared in Jibril's mind, and her expression became increasingly solemn.
At this moment, she had realized that perhaps she really should have let Shuvi go back then. If she had, maybe the story would have been different.
Originally, Jibril felt that she hadn't played any part in the final battle. Now, looking at various pieces of information... it seemed she herself was the fuse of that Great War!!
The video continued to play.
Riku's voice sounded again in the background.
"With this, our first goal—to keep the war away from the human living sphere—is achieved."
"The Ghosts are continuing to orchestrate the war from behind the scenes. As expected, the Elf Race has allied with the Fairies and strengthened cooperation with the Dragonia, who possess the power to counter the Goblin Race's airships."
"Meanwhile, the Goblin Race has established friendly relations with the Gigants and has even won over a number of Phantasma."
"Intimidated by the information provided by the Ghosts, both sides have hidden their weapons of mass destruction and are confronting each other using neighboring continents as bases."
"But don't forget, there are the strongest of all races, the Flügel! And the Phantasma Race."
The camera pans slightly, and with the appearance of a 'city' in the sky, that is where the Flügel reside.
"Artosh's camp."
By now, the various factions have been explained quite clearly.
Then the scene switches slightly.
A circular spherical object appears on the screen, and Shuvi's voice says very calmly: "Passage Control."
*Hum!*
The spherical object is buried underground, and Shuvi says quite indifferently: "23 units installed, 9 remaining."
After speaking, Shuvi takes out a quill and makes a mark on the map.
At this moment, Riku's voice sounds in the background again.
"With the addition of other races looking to profit from the sidelines, the world is about to face an imminent final battle."
"It's all going according to plan."
Riku appears in the video. At this moment, a smile appears at the corner of his mouth. Most of his body is wrapped in bandages, and his left hand has disappeared. Clearly, in the last encounter with the Elf Race, he pushed himself to the limit.
Now, he is giving his all just to stay alive.
"By the way, Shuvi."
At this time, Riku speaks. He stands up quite weakly, looks at Shuvi, and says: "Is there such a thing as a God of Games?"
"Eh?"
Shuvi is slightly stunned.
"If I said I had seen him before, would you believe me?" Riku comes to Shuvi's side, looks at the Chess set, and says with some nostalgia: "The moves he makes always exceed all my predictions. Just like a promise, I've never won."
While Riku is talking, Shuvi silently places the chessboard in front of him.
And Riku begins to play Chess, reminiscing: "But every time, I had a lot of fun. Next time... next time I'll definitely win. I've always thought that way."
The screen shows the beginning, when Riku was young, 'playing Chess' with that non-existent transparent opponent.
In other words, Riku had noticed the so-called 'God of Games' back then and started playing games with him.
Riku continues: "That's why I've always wanted to settle things with that guy in a game, because the game between him and me isn't over yet."
Shuvi places a Chess piece and says in a gentle voice: "If Riku believes he exists, then Shuvi believes it too."
"Eh?" Riku looks at Shuvi in surprise. He thought she would question him, but he didn't expect Shuvi to trust him unconditionally.
Shuvi looks into Riku's eyes and says very seriously: "If Riku says he exists, then he exists. I don't doubt it at all."
"Ah!!!"
Riku uses his other intact hand to cover his eyes. He twists his body in emotion and shouts: "Damn it!! What my wife just said, I really want others to hear it too, ahhhhh!!!"
This scene makes everyone watching the video smile knowingly.
Yes, they have all heard what Shuvi said.
Although Riku is in a miserable state right now, he is not dead yet, and Shuvi is fine, so you can rest easy.
Many people look at Riku like this and sigh. He was clearly a very healthy young boy before, but now, because of this damn war, he has become like this. It really makes one not know what to say.
"Riku!"
Perhaps because Riku is too excited, he falls backward, and Shuvi immediately catches him.
"Riku!!!!!!"
At this time, another person's voice comes from the cave. It's Corone, who has hurried over.
"Corone?" Riku is very surprised by her arrival.
Then the scene shifts slightly. With the map as the visual focus, Corone's voice sounds.
"Just as Riku said, there have been no casualties in the war, and there is no more information about other races appearing."
Riku says as if it's a matter of course: "I knew it."
Corone looks at the map and continues: "If all of this is within Riku's plan, then you are indeed too amazing."
"But!" Corone says with a hint of a sob in her voice, looking at the current Riku with great distress: "Do you even know your own current condition?"
"It's okay." Riku wants to say something else.
Corone interrupts Riku, saying: "Of course it matters! You're covered in wounds."
"..." Riku stares at the map for a moment, then looks at Corone and smiles: "It's just a little bit more now. Please let me finish it."
Seeing Riku like this, tears well up in Corone's eyes. She says sadly: "Just a little bit more, when will it end? How long do I have to worry?"
"Sigh."
Riku quietly sighs. He glances at Shuvi, his expression looking somewhat helpless.
Then Riku says earnestly: "Corone, do you know why the gods started the war?"
"Eh?" Corone is puzzled; she doesn't know these things.
Shuvi kindly reminds her: "The throne of the One True God."
"Right." Riku nods and says in a very calm tone: "As Shuvi said, specifically, it's a divine artifact called the star cup."
"The so-called star cup was created by the Phantasma Race; it is a conceptual device used to determine the One True God."
Corone asks in confusion: "A conceptual device? Where is such a thing?"
Shuvi answers calmly: "To make the star cup appear, there must be a supreme power as great as the destruction of a planet."
"But," Riku says somewhat ironically, "there are as many as ten such supreme powers. But their idea is that if they kill the other nine, they will be the One True God."
"What?!" Corone is shocked to hear this idea for the first time and says: "Are they fools? To involve us for such a reason..."
"Corone." Riku slowly stands up. He looks at Corone seriously and says: "Saying that is an insult to fools. Actually, even without doing that, it's entirely possible to make the star cup appear."
"Eh?" Corone is puzzled again.
Riku says with a smile: "That's why I gathered them all together. Void Ranko Zero, Marrow Burst, Heavenly Strike... as long as I concentrate many powerful forces into one point, I can..."
Riku picks up the King Chess piece and says with a very confident expression: "Pierce through this planet."
*Thump!*
The King Chess piece lands right in the center. This is Riku's plan.
"Eh?! The planet?!!" Corone's eyes widen slightly. Is Riku going to destroy this planet?!!
Shuvi adds calmly: "All Old Deus are born from the spirit corridor of this planet."
"In other words." Riku looks at Corone and smiles: "The strongest source of energy will be..."
At this moment, even if Corone were stupid, she would understand what Riku means. She says in disbelief: "The spirit corridor?!"
"The final stage has been set for us, the weakest." Riku picks up the chessboard and places it in front of him. He says with a confident smile: "Then we'll use those guys' power to destroy the balance of power in this world in one go."
Riku pours out all the Chess pieces. This represents that the opportunity to flip the board is coming.
"Then the star cup will manifest," Shuvi continues. "We will take it, become the One True God, and then rebuild the planet."
Riku continues: "And the key point requires a device that can distort the direction of power. Shuvi's weapons can do it."
Shuvi also says calmly: "Theoretically, as long as 32 Passage Controls are installed, enough power can be collected to pierce through the planet."
Riku says: "There are still 9 locations to install. Once completed..."
Shuvi and Riku look at Corone and say in unison: "It's checkmate."
Corone's eyes widen. She never expected that her brother and sister were planning such a massive scheme.
"Let them use their own power to pierce through this planet, while we just take the star cup and win."
Riku clenches his fist. His voice is quite excited: "Since no one will die, when the game ends, I want to ask the gods."
"I say, I say, how do you feel about it now..."
Just after saying this, Riku's head tilts, and he faints.
"Riku!" Seeing this, Shuvi shows a worried expression again and places her hand on him.
"Riku!!!!"
Finally, Shuvi and Corone shout his name in unison, filled with worry.
But at this moment, Riku has already fainted and cannot respond to the two of them.
