I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

Ignoring Crone who raised his head from Cheng Rang's arms and opened his eyes wide, Rick fiddled with the [Black King] chess piece between his fingers.

"Kelong, just now Cheng told me where the gods were born."

"—planet...right?"

"Yes, the Elven Corridor, the origin of all things, and the tide of Vientiane are all born from this planet."

As if to supplement Rick's words, Shubi continued: "...creatures...races...the essence of the gods are all created through the elven corridor."

"That is to say."

Rick sighed, recalling the day he thought of this method, the day he listened to Hubie's explanation in the elves.

Hearing about the culprit of the war of the gods and the [Star Grail] from Shubi, the first thing that comes to mind.

It's so natural, why didn't anyone find out?

Rick came up with a conclusion that surprised even Shubee, so self-evident.

"Based on general logic, it should be more important than the power of the planet's all-god spirit species—the planet itself."

Seeing Kelong's surprised expression, Rick raised the corner of his mouth: "So..."

"As long as the game board is destroyed - [Star Cup] will appear."

Rick placed the black king in the center of the game board, and clearly stated the victory condition of these [ghosts], that is, the last move.

Ignoring the stunned Kelong and Cheng Rang who would smile wryly every time he heard about this plan, Rick and Shubi pointed to the floor and said one by one: "As long as it runs through the core of this planet, the source of the elven corridor, the released The power will surpass the power of all the gods."

"...Appearance is, ten minus 46th power seconds...Destruction, power release, immediately after appearance..."

"If you get the [Star Cup] immediately and rebuild the planet."

Rick and Hubie said in unison: "...CheckMate!"

"But, but, where does the power that runs through the planet come from—"

Kelong finally recovered from his dazed state. After saying this, he noticed the power distribution map hanging on the wall in his field of vision.

No way...no way no way no way? !

"Are you going to let them do it themselves?! It's not to make the battle stalemate—but to let all the forces clash in an all-round way is your goal!?"

Croon yelled in disbelief, but Rick seemed to be smiling happily.

"Artoxiu's camp is united with all ethnic groups, they won't let the battle stalemate."

"what?"

Mutual guaranteed destruction, as long as one party makes a move, it will cause a stalemate state caused by the destruction of the two parties.

With such a balance, only the option of not making a move will be effective.

"The purpose is the star cup. They are killing each other, and they will definitely go to war in the near future."

——It will be a battle on an unprecedented scale in the eternal war.

It means decisive battle.

That kind of imagination made Crolon pale, but Rick said: "But that kind of firepower—it won't be aimed at anyone."

Ke Long had pursed his lips and was speechless.

"On the stage we prepared for the decisive battle, there was [access control] set up by Huby and I—using the directivity bending device of the power to direct all the power directly downward—yes, it's like the lens of a telescope."

The ghosts gathered all but their lives to gather information on the weapons used there.

After digitizing all of them, and after calculation, according to what Shubi said, 32 [Access Controls] are needed to gather strength.

"They used their own power to run through the planet, destroying the elven corridor, and the [Star Grail] that appeared was taken away by us. This is—victory."

"Because no one will die, so after the end I want to ask those gods..."

Rick showed the most sarcastic smile, and said with a ferocious smile:

"Hey, how are you feeling now?——In that case..."

Chapter 66 Torch

Really, the eternal war is really coming to an end.

Through Rick and Hubie - the proud brother and sister, and the person he cares about...Cheng.

Just less than 200 hands, and not killing anyone, for this purpose, just to create such a situation.

Regarding the gods and their creations, even if I even want to kill them in my heart, no, it should be said that it is normal.

Seeing Rick, who was smiling unceremoniously, Crohn's shoulders couldn't help trembling.

To end the war without killing anyone—and to make myself look like this just for that.

"So, Kelong, give me a little more time. Then, human beings will be counting on you..."

However, only Cheng Rang and Shubi who treated Rick every time knew it.

The guy with such a confident smile is already struggling to breathe.

----------

With a worried and helpless look, Ke Long disappeared into the cool evening on his horse.

After watching her leave, Cheng Rang closed the wooden board at the entrance, pressed it with rocks, and returned to Rick.

Hubby was holding his hand tightly, closing her eyes and nestling in Rick's arms.

Cheng Rang said slowly: "Is this really good?"

"It's good to make her feel a little bit more at ease." Rick's aura of looking down on the world just now has completely disappeared from his body, just like a patient after overwork, he squeezed out sentences from his throat weakly.

It is true that the healing technique can restore Rick's body with a huge amount of vitality, but the nerves tormented by pain cannot be repaired, nor can the will that has been worn down by enduring the pain.

Being restricted by physique is only the reason for human beings, and the healing technique cannot restore the part of Rick's body that Rick has ruined so much like going back in time.

Unlike Leticia's Time Curse Healing Light, the place that has been completely corroded and festered by black ash will lose the "part" that no longer belongs to Rick's body even if it is instantly healed by the healing technique

Even if the healing technique released by Cheng Rang has a healing volume of up to 500 million, the most effective value for Rick is only 20 points.

And with the actions in the past six months, it has become less and less.

Targeting: Rick Dora

Target Features: None

Target HP: 12

"..." Cheng Rang couldn't bear to look at Rick.

When human beings are healthy, they generally have an upper limit of about 20 blood points, but now Rick has only more than half of them left, like a candle in the wind, which will shatter at the touch of a finger.

.......

The time has passed one night, and it is morning.

"[Pseudo-code Healing Technique]" The green light that Shubi put his hands on Rick's chest gradually dissipated.

She pressed Rick who was struggling to get up on the bed: "...Rick...you can't get up yet..."

"...No, I have to go to configure the [Access Control] right now...."

Rick struggled in bed while Hubie tended.

She tried to be brave in front of Kelong, but her actual state was exactly like Kelong's accusation.

Although the pollution burn caused by just applying the spirit bones on the skin would have caused considerable sequelae, what's more, Rick's intensified behavior based on Cheng Rang's idea that he could heal himself instantly, even made one of his feet hurt. So buried.

Rick, who even ingested the internal organs into the spirit skeleton, lost at least 40.00% of his lung function, and his stomach was completely damaged, so he couldn't get enough nutrition even if he ate.

It's just a human body, so it's natural that he can't get up. It's better to say that he can get up in the first place.

"...No problem, Rick's prediction is correct, the attack will not start immediately..."

"But."

"It'll be fine if you take a little rest... Rick, one day is enough... Please..."

——My wife is still the same, always making difficult and unreasonable demands as if nothing happened.

Rick smiled wryly and agreed: "Okay, then go to configuration tomorrow, and concentrate on recuperation today."

".....Um."

"Huby, I'm sorry, I've been dragging my feet..."

"You can't stretch your hind legs as long as you lie down today, do you treat me as a guy who doesn't exist?"

Rick turned his head with difficulty to look at Cheng Rang who was coming, and smiled silly.

"Look at you... You're almost making yourself stupid. If you don't take a break, you might make a mistake in any simple chess game!" Cheng Rang squatted beside the bed, staring into Rick's eyes.

——Although the condition of the body is getting worse and worse, the pair of black eyes that were once dull, like the dead sea, are now shining brighter than ever before.

Because I see hope, I don't want to give up no matter what.

That's trying to step out towards the light...no.

It is the soul that wants to burn itself out in the darkness of despair and become a torch—although it has been "losing" all the time, it is a human soul that believes that it will win this time.

"Then please one more thing, Shubi, I will sleep today and try to recover - can you please hold my hand all the time?"

It was to be able to endure the pain, and Shubi knew this meaning long ago.

"...Well, I will hold you all the time, you can rest at ease... Rick."

"Hubby."

Probably still unable to sleep, Rick called Hubby.

"....Um."

"Cheng." He continued to call.

"I'm here."

"...Thank you, without Hubby, without you, I wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing."

"It's not over yet."

"Yeah, but even if it's just the current situation, it wouldn't be possible without the support of the two of you."

Cheng Rang shook his head slowly and said, "It's the three of us."

"Heh..." Rick chuckled when he saw this, and closed his eyes, "But now it's time for couples to get along sweetly."

"I understand, I understand, you two go on, I have eaten all the dog food, and you will not let me go." Cheng Rang waved his hands and got up to leave. Before he left, Rick could still vaguely hear: lie down. It's so annoying that I can get tired of it in bed...such complaints.

Maybe he started to doze off, Rick's breathing gradually calmed down, and he murmured: "Thank you for taking care of me, and..."

"I really love you, Hubby... From now on, also..."

The bottom pressure in the broken body

How much pain is suppressing that is tormenting Rick?Even so, Rick could fall asleep peacefully just by being held by Hubie's hand.

Hubby thought to himself: Hubby—[likes] Rick.

But for the feeling of "love", she still can't fully understand it when she is just born.

Not being able to respond to Rick's words made her very anxious.

But even she understands that what she should do is not to let Rick die.

As an Analytical Ex-Machina, Shubi can still be active for 890 years, and Rick made an agreement with himself to die after him.

So Rick has to live another 890 years. As long as he gets the [Star Cup], it will become a simple fact.

.......so.

".....Sorry...Rick, I'll be right back..."

Let go of his hand for a moment.
