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

The little girl ran up to the group, panting, first greeting them with a smile, then asking them excitedly.

"Where's Dad?"

"Ina..."

[Kloni turned and put her hand on Ina's shoulder, but didn't know how to start the conversation...]

"Look, I wrote this myself!"

"Where is Dad?!"

Living in this era, she was clearly not an ignorant little girl. Although her expression remained cheerful, a closer look revealed a hint of fear and unease in her eyes.

"Ina, listen to me..."

[Klonie spoke heavily, but felt someone pull her shoulder. A chill ran through her, and she turned to look. It was that person...]

It's Rick...

"Rick..."

Rick gently pushed Chronie aside and knelt down in front of Ina.

[...those bright blue eyes were very similar to her father's; without a doubt, she was Ivan's daughter.]

Ina met Rick's empty eyes, utterly lifeless, like those of a corpse...

"Ina..."

Ina glanced at Rick's expressionless face, then at his arm resting on her shoulder, then at Alec who avoided her gaze, and at Kloni who looked at her with concern...

Her inner unease amplified in that instant, and then she heard...

"Your father... he's not coming back."

"As usual," Rick said in a calm tone.

I can be reborn endlessly, even in a random world. Zheng Qian: "Hahaha! Hahahahaha!!!"

"This damn world! It only ever brings despair!!"

No Game No Life Zero World.

"Daddy! Daddy!! Please don't go next time, okay! Waaaaah..."

Ina broke down in tears, saying that even though Ivan was still alive, just seeing Rick on the sky, speaking in such a flat tone about her father's passing, was unbearable.

The image of Rick's expressionless command to his father to die flashed through her mind involuntarily!

I remember my father being poisoned by that demon...

But... that person said it in such a nonchalant tone!

Ina felt incredibly wronged, sad, and angry!

Ivan gave a wry smile and quickly comforted his daughter, at least to get her to stop crying.

Making loud noises in the wild could very well bring about your own demise!

And Evan knew that Rick was doing the right thing.

Humans are fragile and powerless, therefore we cannot focus on the individual; we must use race as the basis for consideration.

Therefore, one person must be sacrificed to save two, a minority must be sacrificed for the sake of the majority, personal feelings cannot be considered, and the individual must inevitably sacrifice for the collective...

Perhaps this is the tragedy of living in such an era, where everyone must struggle for the continuation of the race...

Even if it's not the best, or even a particularly brilliant idea.

But it is the most perfect reason: to sacrifice for the continuation of the race!

Ivan understood this principle, everyone understood this principle, and Rick understood it even more!

Because those who enforce those rules, those who give them noble reasons, those who allow them liberation in this world, those who bear all the pressures of their existence...

It's Rick!

...I'm sorry, Rick, but we really can only rely on you now. I'm so sorry...

Humans have no right to choose...

Ivan doesn't want to tell Ina this cruel truth yet...

All he could do was spend a little more time with his daughter before he sacrificed himself...

【"Why……"】

The harsh reality shattered the last glimmer of hope in Ina's heart...

Her eyes trembled, and large tears instantly welled up in the corners of her eyes; her small lips trembled uncontrollably.

"Because he died."

"Ah!! You're lying!!"

Ina's terrified screams echoed throughout the cave...

Almost instinctively, she raised the piece of paper with her name written on it and slapped it towards Rick's expressionless face!

【"Snapped!"】

[Enemy! Liar! This is fake!!! Dad will definitely be alright!!! Liar! Liar!!!]

"I wasn't lying."

"You're lying! Because Dad promised me he'd come back!"

"Dad said humanity will ultimately win!!"

Rick's hand unconsciously gripped his chest, his fingers twisting with force, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Her right hand gripped her backpack tightly, trembling slightly.

Even so, Rick's tone remained unchanged.

"Of course we'll win."

"It was for this Ivan that I fought with all my might."

[Since when... could he remain unmoved even upon hearing such sorrowful sounds...?]

"To ensure everyone's victory."

When did it begin... that I could so naturally utter these self-deceiving lies...?

[But if we don't say it that way, Ina won't be able to survive in this era...]

"That's not a victory at all!!"

Nonna's little face was contorted with tears.

"If that's the case, then let's switch to Rick!"

"It would be better if Rick died!!"

Chapter 386 Why doesn't that damn Sky Screen give out rewards!

"Snapped!!"

A loud slap rang out!

When Ivan came to his senses, Ina was staring blankly at the 'father' who had attacked her.

"dad……"

“Ina…”

Ivan knelt on the ground, but when he reached out to pull his daughter up, Ina instinctively took a half step back.

"Dad...why..."

Ina felt betrayed. Why would her father hit her? It was Rick who told her father to die...

Why……

“Ina…”

Ivan called his daughter's name softly, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Because he had just seen resentment in his daughter's eyes!

It wasn't Ina in the sky, but the Ina standing before him, who resented Rick's actions...

No! You can't do this! This is wrong!!

Driven by this thought, Ivan almost instinctively took action, wanting Ina to apologize to Rick.

But after he finished fighting, he realized that he was still alive, and Ina hadn't really said those things to Rick. Surely, there was still time...

Ivan could only deceive himself by thinking that he didn't want Ina to do anything irreversible out of impulse, but he himself had done such a thing to Ina first.

"Ina...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Aside from apologizing, it seems there's nothing else he can do...

"no no……"

"bump!"

Ina was clearly unable to accept it. She turned around and tried to run away, but bumped into someone.

Looking up, Ina met Rick's empty, lifeless eyes.

"What...what do you want to do?!"

Ina asked with some fear, but subconsciously opened her arms, as if trying to use her small body to block Ivan's figure.

"Richard!...I'm sorry, I'll keep an eye on Ina."

Ivan also came to his senses and quickly stood up from the ground.

Rick's lifeless gaze swept over the two of them.

"...Don't fall behind."

After uttering those three words, Rick turned and left.

It may seem like nothing is happening, but the power of words is that they can make people stand up.

This power can guide lost people forward, just like the sun.

It can soothe the weeping of those who are on the verge of collapse, like a beautiful dream.

It can also...like a cold blade, pierce into that already shattered heart...

Stirring and tearing...

"Yes."

After responding, Ivan quickly stepped forward and took Ina's hand; they had become somewhat separated from their original positions.

After hesitating for a moment, Ivan looked at Ina, who was standing silently with her head down beside him, and sighed helplessly.

Perhaps it's time for him to personally shatter some of the illusions he himself had woven for Ina.

Although his heart was breaking, perhaps this would allow Ina to live a little longer...

At the very least, we can't let Ina resent Rick. Rick is carrying a burden that would have crushed anyone else long ago...

Too many, too many...

So what if I was reincarnated as a spider? Spider Child: "...Tch! Those words hurt me so much..."

Zero Zone World, Bell: "...Add one..."

The villain initializes the world. Jiang Xiao: "Sigh..."

No Game No Life Zero World, Jibril: "Oh ho ho ho ho~ Even a little human is coveting the final victory, how ignorant and fearless!"

In the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, an anonymous person said: "Sigh~ This Tianmu doesn't understand anything. Look at other Tianmu, they can directly reward the protagonist with gifts or something, and directly help the protagonist defy fate. You just watch a movie and expose him. If you get wiped out, what's the point of watching the movie!"

"I might be cultivating in a fake immortal world," Xu Xiaolan said. "I agree! It's so frustrating to watch! If I could give him something, I could pass on some of our cultivation techniques to Rick. 'Elves' are probably similar to 'spiritual power,' right? Right now, I have no power at all and can only be slaughtered by others. It's so frustrating!"

Rick's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and before he could react...

"Ina!!"
