"……Who are you?"

——Not asking [who].

Because there is no need to ask, the part exposed from the gap in the robe truthfully tells his origin.

A mechanical body—not Hubby's—

Swish!People looked up in surprise and looked at the handsome male in the illustration? !

"——Ex-Machinas!!" He looked at the figure with some unbelievable eyes.

It's Huby's kin!But why is it here? !

"...I don't have a name, but just as I am called by others—call me [Full Link Command (Einzsch)]."

It's completely different from when Hubby first appeared on the stage...

The new Ex-Machina species that showed a lot of humanity from the very beginning—it turned out to be the link conductor...the existence called Einzhe.

When everyone saw this, they showed some astonishment.

He—is this...? !

Suddenly, good memory reminded Hermetos of what the Nexus had said to Shuby before his final death.

"Code name correction - [The Last Man] Shubi, you are allowed to rest, and the rest will be handed over to 'us'."

Thinking of this, Hermetos shuddered violently.

No, it's impossible...Could it be that the conjoined body represents the entire Ex-Machina species and helps Riku fulfill Shubi's last wish?

Thinking of the alchemy god, he gasped...

If this is the case, Riku might become the most powerful side in this war.

Think about Jibril exhausting all her strength when Shubi fights alone.

Although Shubi is also a special individual in the race just like Jibril, Hermetos has never underestimated this race.

Up to now, he still remembers that the Ex-Machina is also... the race that achieved [the only two who managed to kill God]!

……

"——I'm here to fulfill the last will entrusted by [The Willbearer] Shubi."

Before Riku cautiously asked that question, the Ex-Machina in front of him immediately answered.

Saying that, Einzich stretched out his hand.

Riku took what he handed——he was stunned for a moment. (Speaking of when Shuby died, the theatrical version seems to have added a segment of the connected body crying. At that time, I saw a machine that didn’t know what a heart was, read Shuby’s memory data, and understood what love is and shed tears. time, it was really shocking.)

It was a little metal ring.Dirty and twisted—but undoubtedly Hubie's ring—

A close-up illustration is given in the book.

Looking at the ring, which was not made of precious materials, people's hearts were sour, and their hearts were blocked.

That metal ring—not even a ring in their day and age.

But it means a lot!

It was witnessed by everyone that Riku and Shubi were married under the oath of that ring.

Not only in the eyes of Riku, but also in the eyes of people, the ring has a very special meaning.

Not to mention that Shubi was desperately protecting it until his death - that is equivalent to Shubi's [heart] existence!

Did Shubi leave any other words for Riku?

With complicated and unspeakable emotions, everyone continued to look behind.

"—[Willer] Riku has not yet been defeated."

"……what?"

Riku was still at a loss, the man of the Ex-Machinas——Einzhi told him plainly.

"——The [Rules] stipulated by [Willer] does not include the meaning of disapproval of the loss of props."

—In an instant, Riku raised his fist, intending to punch him in the face.

It's bold enough to call his wife Huby a prop, and I appreciate it.

I don't care if you're an Ex-Machina or something, only this guy—! !

The humans and elves were stunned by the sudden and infuriating words at this moment, and they didn't react for a while.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

’ — beat that guy up hard!Riku! '

At this moment, no matter whether it is a human being, an elf, or a god, their thoughts are unexpectedly the same.

The words of this Ex-Machina who called themselves Einzich couldn't be ignored just now. They really made them angry!

——What is [Loss of Disapproved Items]?

What the hell did he think of his own race—Shubi...!?
