Start, Unlimited Skill Tree!

Runs through the core of the planet and even destroys the elf cloister.

—Successful? !

A victory accumulated on the wreckage of countless machines.

When everyone subconsciously thought that they wanted to see the scene where so many talents were sacrificed...the star cup descended.

What they saw——the picture of Riku completely collapsed.

——In Riku's cognition, that happened only in an instant.

But at the same time—his inner lock broke—

"——What is a draw, bastard...this...isn't a tie...!"

It's like an emotional breakdown.

The light in his eyes returned, and all of Riku's previously closed emotions burst out.

After the [lock] broke, my heart couldn't stop.

——How many people died?

Shubi's companions, the living ones, the Flügel—how many people died! !

He didn't hesitate to lie to himself—even using Hubie's intentions as an excuse.

The war that continues to cost infinite sacrifice, the last sacrifice to end it—

At this point, Riku still wanted to find such an excuse, and Riku even felt murderous towards such a self.

——What is a tie.

You're nothing but scum, just a loser.

Even if Shubi's wish is used as an excuse!

You are still!Miserably and despondently!We lost——Riku! !

"...I'm sorry, Hubie... I still lost..."

In the illustration, I saw the star chalice that finally emerged from the fairy corridor, and Riku who had already collapsed and shed tears.

Everyone looked at Riku who was so embarrassed and collapsed...

Even the real face of the star cup finally revealed in the illustration, no one is paying attention.

The people fell silent.

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

"Hey—Huby, if you and I can become one—"

"I really want to win next time. Hubby—"

Said the man whose body and mind were covered in bruises and extremely fragile at this moment.

Looking at the illustration, everyone seemed to be able to hear Riku's voice full of desolation...

Everyone's eyes were wide open, their eye sockets were red and wet, but they didn't know it. They just watched the final curtain of this 'game' in silence.

Obviously——

Riku's plan seems to have succeeded, right? They are the final winners?

But at this moment, Riku seemed to be the one who lost the most.

Such a [Victory]... Maybe it's not called a victory at all, as Riku said.

So many people were sacrificed and such a heavy price was exchanged for the star cup——

Thinking of this, everyone felt sad.

Immediately after—

"Next time, the two of you must play a game where no one dies, no need to die—such a game—"

As people saw Riku's heartfelt prayers and longings, they cried and said those words.

Thinking that Riku has never won a game in his life——

After finally meeting Shubi, but even Shubi lost...

The little princess and the others suddenly covered their mouths and faces, and completely shed tears.

Such a thing, don't be too cruel to Riku... Ah!

"……This is……?"

——[Star Cup]——

Like rays of light, the polyhedron of the pentagram and the star-shaped dodecahedron emerge.

Riku, who finally calmed down, looked at the [Star Cup] that the gods were fighting for, this conceptual weapon that represented the throne of the only god.

Then there is the plot where Riku reached out his hand but found that he couldn't touch it.

It turned out that his body was being engulfed and crumbled by the light of the elf corridor emitting incomparable power.
