I, Rick, the strongest human

At the first moment of seeing that object, Rick felt that the string called reason in his mind was about to break.

That was taken at the cost of Hubby, Ex-Machinas, Ghost, the three dead 150, and all the elves before the time was reset——

A conceptual device that symbolizes the throne of the only God and absolute dominion—the Star Cup!

Open... what a joke!

What I have worked so hard to think of to get, actually... will appear in front of my eyes in this way?

The blond girl seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with him, and moved her body closer, almost touching Rick's body.

"Rick, are you unhappy? Or... did I do something wrong?"

The powerful elf queen, the number one chief performer of the contemporary era, asked anxiously and worriedly at this moment, as if she was eager to be praised by her beloved.

"Don't... Rick don't like this thing?"

"...This kind of thing, no one will hate it!"

With a wry smile, Rick responded. Although the feeling of being picked at a critical moment made him a little subtle, it didn't matter.

——To kill and seize is the same as Godsend.

This is a famous saying of the Flügel race. Although Rick doesn't fully agree with it, to a certain extent, he agrees with similar practices.

The fat time I snatched by my strength, why should I be called perverted!

It's the same if you change to a star cup, the big deal is just grab it directly.

Although I don't know why Zhenhong insisted on showing it off in front of her eyes, but it's probably because of her vindictive character?Think this is the way to win the round?

"Bringing it to me is the biggest mistake you've ever made!"

——This sentence, before Rick uttered it, he completely buried it in his heart.

"Sure enough, Rick still likes this thing!"

Like a child who got candy, the blond girl had an extremely happy expression on her face.

"Hey, then give this to Rick! Since Rick wants it—"

The dodecagonal star cup was controlled by Zhenhong and floated in front of Rick.

That simple smile without any other impurities, like a girl in love, made Rick slightly absent-minded.

"——!"

Chapter 42 The Final Game

"why……"

"Hey? Rick, you want to end this war, right? I've felt it before. So, wouldn't it be more appropriate to entrust this thing to you?"

As if stating the facts, the blond elf girl spoke in a natural tone.

"I mean...why...give it...to me?"

His body trembled slightly, Rick gritted his teeth and asked.

"Well……"

As if being asked some difficult questions, there was a shy expression on Zhenhong's face.

"Because this is the tradition of our elves...!"

"Tradition……?"

Unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words, Rick continued to ask.

"Eh--!"

The girl dragged her voice out and let out an unbelievable voice.

"You lied, you lied! Could it be that Rick has forgotten it? He obviously just made an appointment with me not long ago..."

agreement

Thinking back a bit, a few days ago, he did express his confession to the other party, and said that no matter how long it took, he would never give up——

But that kind of words... just, joking, just, a behavior similar to revenge, a play on her...

This guy...is he serious?

"..."

Rick, who was silent, looked as if he had completely forgotten the agreement in Zhenhong's eyes, and his face turned gray all of a sudden.

"R, Rick, you said it... you said that kind of thing—"

The blond girl cried and threw herself on Rick's body.

"I told you that you liked me and loved me. You told me that no matter when, no matter what the situation, your love for others... will not change!"

"Why...why don't you speak! Rick! Answer me—!"

As if taking an oath, the girl suddenly embraced Rick's body with both hands, then leaned her lips together, and kissed frantically.

"Well--"

The silver-haired boy's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't expect that he would be kissed so forcefully by the other party.

He stretched out his hands subconsciously and silently embraced the girl in his arms.

"I like Rick! I like Rick so, so much! I like Rick so much that I'm happy to even feel Rick's breath—"

Feeling the warmth of the other party's arms, a sunny smile bloomed on Zhenhong's face again.

"Even if Rick doesn't like me one day! Even if Rick hates me! Even if Rick doesn't want me! Abandon me! I will always, always like Rick—"

"No matter what, it doesn't matter if you treat me as a prop or a toy! Please use me as much as possible and squeeze out all my value!"

Feelings that had been suppressed for a long time gushed out, and the girl shouted out desperately.

"because I like you!"

"..."

This time, I can no longer remain indifferent...

There is no hatred between the other party and herself, but the faction is different, the position is different, the mistake is not her own, but those gods, the war that was provoked for the star cup, and the world that is gradually distorted by the war——

If, in this situation, she still doesn't respond to the girl's love...

Then I am indistinguishable from a scumbag!

He tightly hugged the girl in his arms, and stroked her head with the other hand.

"I like you too, Zhenhong—"

Only this time, he didn't carry any other emotions.

It's just that I just like it——

"kindness!"

After getting the answer she wanted, the girl had a surprised expression on her face.

However, she didn't say anything, but simply leaned into Rick's arms.

Like a day, like a thousand years.

……

star cup.

It is a conceptual weapon that symbolizes the throne of the only God and absolute dominance in this world.

The reason why Zhenhong was able to obtain the star cup was also because of the forest god controlled by her.

Making it fight the God of Forge is actually to attract its attention and let the Sen God cast a cover-up magic.

Then, relying on the link magic and group casting of the elves and elves, the power generated by the elven corridor of thousands of people was gathered on Zhenhong's body, and then she used control magic to control the god of forging.

In this way, after eliminating one or two remaining unnamed gods, Zhenhong, who had no target, ordered them to commit suicide. After meeting the conditions for the appearance of the Star Cup, the Star Cup first appeared in the forest where the last step of suicide was. God is near.

But because he committed suicide soon, the star cup fell into the hands of Zhenhong.

Because she was worried that she would become the owner of the star cup as soon as she touched it, Zhenhong wanted to dedicate the only treasure in the world to her beloved, so she used magic power to draw her to Rick's side.

But now, Rick and Shubi, as well as Zhen Hong and Chloe Ni beside him, stood together under the star cup.

"Let your cherished companions witness such a scene together."

Rick said so.

Of course, Zhenhong, who is almost completely determined by the opponent's everything, will not refuse, so Rick brought Hubby and Chroni here together.

Hubby is the most important and cherished person to him, and this will not change no matter what.

Chroni is his sister in name. Before the time was reset, Rick was still immature at that time, and it was the other party who had been taking care of him, otherwise he might have starved to death long ago.

Even now after the time reset, the other party has been silently encouraging and supporting him, and he is currently second only to Shubi in his mind.

"Is this...the star cup?"

Clooney murmured as she looked at the dodecagonal star-shaped object in front of her.

"Rick... this thing... can't be parsed..."

Hubby tugged on Lalique's clothes, looking very troubled.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you analyze this kind of thing or not!"

Smiling and answering Shubi's question, under their watchful eyes, Rick stretched out his right hand and touched the star cup emitting an unknown light.

Then, Rick slowly closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes again, and in front of him, Shubi, Zhenhong, and Chroni could no longer be seen, only the jet-black light and shadow in front of him remained.

"After fighting for so many years... it's time to decide the winner."

"Ah...it's really difficult, such a reckless move!"

Sitting opposite Rick, the pitch-black figure spoke in distress.

"Although they have won countless times, there are only two games that really determine the outcome."

"Well, that's true. The current record is—one win and one loss."

In the first game, he lost to the opponent without any suspense, and after that, whenever he was about to lose, Rick would flip the chessboard to end the duel.

——That's external force, that's brute force, that's a force that doesn't conform to the rules of the game.

However, Rick does have such a degree of "power", so, to a certain extent, he is not a foul.

And later, before the duel with God of War, Rick won the opponent's game.

That was when he took out Chinese chess, and the opponent almost lost in his hands because of the first contact.

"This is the last round."

It was the blurred shadow sitting opposite the silver-haired boy who was speaking in this way.

"Well, it's the last round."

Seeming to be sighing, but also affirming something, Rick said so.

Chapter 43 Game of Life, Game of Life!

"So, what game is this time?"

As soon as the topic of the game was mentioned, the black shadow became extremely excited.

"This game..."

Rick chuckled, spread his hands, and two black and white chess pieces representing the "king" appeared in his hands.

――In other words, chess!

"Where it starts, it ends. Don't you think it's interesting?"

Facing the silver-haired boy with a smile on his face, the black shadow seemed very surprised.
