Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

[Explosive light and smoke streaked across the sky, splattering liquid, leaving the earth scorched and the machines in the sky reduced to lumps of 'coal'...]

"The sky was azure and clear..."

"That's an ancient, fairytale-like legend."

On this brutal battlefield, there seem to be traces of biological activity...

The next moment, a pair of snow-white wings unfurled, and after destroying its target, it soared into the sky.

Snow-white wings, yet they ultimately brought the tolling of death.

"The ongoing, eternal conflict between the gods and their creations."

"It turned the earth into scorched earth, and ashes obscured the sky."

The smoke of battle had thickened to the point where it could no longer dissipate, or rather, it had merged with the entire sky...

"The ashes of death danced and fell."

This is the origin of the black and gray color.

Rick's empty eyes stared at the sky, contemplating this wretched world...

"Sizzle!"

A speck of black ash pierced through Rick's hair, burning and corroding his forehead.

The skin was burned through; the blood was swallowed up completely before it could even flow out.

So what if I'm reincarnated as a spider? Spider Child: "...Sad...This is the first time I've ever watched a movie and I don't know what to say."

In the world of Soul Street, Xia Ling said, "...Agreed...It's too oppressive..."

"It was even more oppressive than what happened with Arthur... At least in Arthur's world, facing the ugliness of human nature, one could still muster the will to resist, but Rick and the others... the difference is too great..."

"Evan was shouting 'The food is here' even as he was dying... just to give the other two a chance to live..."

"Are they merely food to other species...?"

No Game No Life Zero World, Riku: "..."

Food...

If it weren't for the 'elves' produced by that goblin-breeding machine, the other party probably wouldn't have even noticed them...

They're nothing but ants, devoid even the slightest bit of 'spirit'...

Chapter 384 Charging?! I'll do it! Let me do it!!

"Rick!"

[Are heard a burning sound, turned around and saw Rick's appearance, so he rushed over and pulled up Rick's hood, which had fallen off.]

This action also pressed Rick's head, which was originally looking up at the sky, down.

Although no words were spoken, the action seemed to be a habit.

They...don't even have the right to look up at the sky...

"These ashes...maybe they're actually a form of compassion..."

On the road at my feet, there were various oddly shaped bones, corroded to the point of being almost unrecognizable.

In the world of The King's Avatar, Yu Wenzhou said, "This black ash looks like it would be lethal to other species as well."

In the world of The King's Avatar, Huang Shaotian said, "But a creature that was that huge just now, it must be a demon species, right? If other species were all that size, how much black ash would we need to collect to deal with just one?"

In the First Sequence World, Luo Lan said, "It's not a matter of how much we prepare, but rather that other races already have weapons capable of destroying the world, while Rick and his people don't even have a device to quickly record information. They're still using primitive hands to record, which is neither efficient nor accurate enough."

The villain initializes the world. Ling Chen: "And in this environment, the impact of this flaw is fatal..."

“The spirit needle disks in Rick and the others’ hands are pointing to ‘elves’ and are affected by [black ash], which means that [black ash] also contains ‘elves’.”

"In other words, even if other races have a stronger ability to explore 'elves,' they will still be affected by [Black Ash], so Rick and his group did not make a mistake in timing their map replication."

"That demonic creature must have crawled into the airship through the hole to avoid [Black Ash], but... inside the airship, it sensed the 'elf' fluctuations that were playing the map, which helped 'it' determine the direction of Rick and the others..."

In the world of Caged Man, Fei Xingkong said, "Technological backwardness... no, this is simply a gap between civilizations! The other side even has technology like [Void Electronic Projection], while Rick's side is still using quill pens, and doesn't even have a camera. This is truly..."

"Don't try to take on everything yourself, or you'll be overwhelmed!"

"[Are said worriedly, but all he met was Rick's empty eyes, devoid of any emotion, like those of a ghost...]"

They headed back the way they came. Although Ivan had lost his backpack, they had already gained enough this time.

This gain, achieved through sacrifice, must not be lost along the way...

The two walked in silence, their steps heavy, whether from the accumulated black ash on the ground or from the endless darkness in the distance...

"...Richard, I said, this kind of era will eventually... eventually come to an end..."

"I don't know how long we've walked," Alec finally asked, though the question had been on his mind countless times...

"Yes, it will end."

Rick answered firmly.

He had to think this way, and so did Alejandro González and everyone else.

If one doesn't think this way, no one can persevere in this hopeless era.

[Nobody's here...]

In the First Sequence World, Ren Xiaosu: "..."

Lying on the snow, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his slightly chapped lips.

What about their era?

Will there come a better day someday?

Or perhaps... she collapsed in this snowstorm...

In that world of "That Year, That Rabbit, Those Things," Commander Rabbit said, "That kind of era... a peaceful era... will surely come!"

Will!

The journey is long and tedious.

Under the unchanging sky, the flames and smoke of battle endure. When tired, they rest; when rested, they continue their journey.

Time has lost its meaning; whether one is alive has become the sole criterion.

Fortunately, no further unexpected situations arose along the way.

Hidden in a secluded mountainside, the two embedded a stone into a wooden staff, then dipped it into a small, unidentified liquid in a nearby pool.

The stone gradually began to gleam.

The faint light was their only guarantee of survival as they traversed the deep crevices of the mountain walls.

I am but a humble creature from the monster world. Bubble: "Phew~ I'm finally back safe and sound."

My senior brother is too steady. Li Changshou: "The base is behind the mountain wall. Considering the destructive power of the battles of other races, if it affects this mountain, this crack will likely be buried by falling rocks."

"Sigh... I hope there's another way out."

No Game No Life Zero World, Riku: "..."

Sure enough, the previous base was eventually exposed!

Rick looked back. Although the route they came from had been specially cleared, it was still the migration of more than two thousand people, so some traces were bound to be impossible to completely erase.

"The specific location wasn't directly revealed..."

"These traces will gradually disappear over time... There's no other way for now, let's hurry on our way."

[In a dimly lit little room, the only means of sight are two glowing stones.]

【“Yina~”】

【"alright!"】

[A red-haired girl in armor slowly wrote a name on a piece of paper with a quill pen, then picked up the paper and showed it to a little girl beside her.]

In the world of One Piece, Sanji shouts: "Hooohoo!! Beautiful lady! I'm ready to be your knight! I'll protect you on your journey through life!!"

In the One Piece world, Nami exclaims, "Baka! Don't start saying these things out of nowhere!!"

In the world of One Piece, Charlotte Pudding: "..."

"Ha!! Is this Ina's name?! Is it pronounced Ina?!"

The little girl excitedly took the rough paper and examined it carefully.

"That's too cunning! Chlorene, teach me too!"

"I went first!"

The other children also showed longing in their eyes.

"Okay, let's do it in order."

Klonie responded to each child's questions, attending to their individual feelings.

Suddenly, someone ran to the door of the hut; it was also a woman dressed in armor.

"Klonie! They're back!"

Chronie's eyes widened involuntarily. After so long, the other party had finally...!

"Richard!!"

At the entrance, Rick and Are had already removed their body armor and animal hides, handing them over to the others to process.

[Klonie, with tears in her eyes, rushed forward and hugged Rick tightly!]

In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Star: "Charging? Referee!! She fouled!!"

Zero World, Rin: "Hehe~ I, I can do it!"

In the world of One Piece, Sanji exclaims, "Roar!! Beautiful lady! I will respond to your embrace with the warmest heart! Bang!"

In the world of One Piece, Nami exclaims, "This idiot!! (claps her hands)"

Chapter 385 That wasn't a victory at all...

"Rick! That's great!"

Chlorine hugged Rick tightly. This trip had been far too long—seven days? Eight days?

Thankfully, Rick returned safely, otherwise she would have been worried to death.

"Klonie..."

Before Rick could say anything, Chlorine launched into a long, rambling lecture!

"Honestly, they took way too long to get back!"

"I was so worried!"

"And haven't I always told you to call me 'older sister'?"

"We're already in a rush."

Rick said coldly, and only then did Chlorne realize that there were two of them... two?

[Suddenly realizing something, Chloe's usually lively expression turned somewhat listless...]

Feeling Chronie's gaze sweep over them from behind, Alec turned his head away guiltily. If he hadn't discovered the map, perhaps all three of them could have returned safely...

"Ivanta..."

"Rick!"

Rick understood what Chloe meant and was about to explain when a somewhat flustered Chloe quickly interrupted him.

【"dad--!"】

In the distance, a young girl stumbled along, carrying the piece of paper Chlorine had written her name on earlier.

"Ina..."

"Richard, Alec! Welcome back!"
