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

She asked Rick, though she expected to receive an unbelievable answer.

"Go play games."

"It's just a game for kids."

The two turned around, and Rick brandished the chess set in his hand, a smug smile on his face that Chlorie had never seen before.

That smile was both innocent and incredibly bold, as if nothing in the world could stop the birth of a mischievous devil!

These are the words spoken by the [original Riku], a being brimming with boundless, fiery fighting spirit, will, and determination.

This answer was far beyond her expectations!

In the Fairy Tail world, Natsu says, "I don't know what's going on yet! But I feel like I'm about to get fired up!"

In the world of Caged Man, Si Rui: "That laugh... I feel like the [protagonist] is about to unleash his power!"

My Senior Brother's Brain is Full of Holes, Dongfang Xianyun: "Protagonist? Hmm~... Looking at it this way, he lives in a world with extraordinary powers but is very weak, his parents... uh, have passed away, he has outstanding abilities but is repressed, but he is redeemed by a wife with great power, and then his home is destroyed... Hmm!! The buffs are stacked up to the max!"

In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan says, "Is the path of rebellion about to begin?! Hmm! I know this trope well! Isn't this how it's written in web novels?!"

In the world of live-in sons-in-law, Ning Yi exclaimed, "Online novel? Could it be a wish-fulfillment story template? Wow~ terrifying! Terrifying indeed!"

In the Corpse Brother world, Bai Xiaofei said, "Uh...is nobody concerned about Chronie? Shubi and the others are gone; what if another landslide happens..."

In the world of Gintama, Sakata Gintoki says: "Clonie: Peanuts for me!"

Chapter 407 Six Rules, Shackles?

"Everyone here perished along with the settlement because they couldn't find refuge; they no longer exist in this world..."

"That is, [a ghost]."

The map, which had undergone countless revisions, sat on the table.

Rick has gathered a group of people who escaped from the settlement.

"[The final battle will come someday], and I have decided to stop waiting for that [future that will never come]."

Everyone was speechless. The beautiful dream that Rick had woven for them was, today, shattered by Rick himself!

Although everyone knows it's just a distant dream...

"To eke out a living in this utterly absurd world."

"Is running away and barely surviving the only option, while praying for the war to end?"

"To whom should we pray?"

【"boom!"】

[He slammed his fists heavily on the stone table!]

This is both a venting session and not a venting session; it's both a catharsis and more than just a catharsis!

Rick spoke the truth that everyone wanted to say but dared not say or face!

"A destroyer called God?!"

[A roar! It is humanity's unwavering will to resist!]

"Artes, the creator of the Winged Race!"

Rick pressed an exquisite crystal, a symbol of his identity, onto the map, representing the territory of the Skywing race.

"Kainas, the creator of the Forest Elves!"

"Okan, the creator of the goblin race!"

[Then came the next one! And another one!]

[Chess pieces, symbolizing the fifteen races, are placed in various corners of this world map!]

"These guys are just trying to prove [that I am the only god in this world]."

"The struggle continues, and the world is destroyed along with the throne of the one true God!"

"Who would participate in such a war? Regardless of who wins, can we expect that bastard to bring a better future than we have now?!"

"What on earth should we ask of these bastards?!"

Rick waved his arms exaggeratedly, roaring as if venting his pent-up anger!

Suddenly, his tone turned cold, like a burning flame falling into ice water, leaving it devoid of warmth...

"Shouldn't we just admit it..."

"This world... has no hope at all..."

Everyone lowered their heads, their faces filled with sorrow... Although they had long been aware of this... this fact, once they accepted it, did they really have any reason to live after losing all hope?

The collapse of the spirit... can happen in an instant...

However, Rick's story was far from over.

"Therefore, we can only create with our own hands."

He spoke calmly, his tone so indifferent it was as if he were merely recounting what he had for breakfast.

But those words made everyone look up at him again, even Shubi.

[Create...what?]

"This world is still just a simple [game] after all."

"Those destroyers are only after the [Star Grail]."

"The concept device symbolizing absolute dominion over the world has been seized!"

"And becoming addicted to boring games with no rules."

"In that case..."

Rick smiled and extended his hand to Shubi.

"We'll just create the rules we want."

"And then, victory!"

[Shubi grasped Rick's outstretched hand, and Rick felt an endless surge of power coursing through his body!]

He raised his arm high, as if taking an oath, uttering a new vow that would sustain them forward!

"[First], you must not kill anyone."

Because my heart doesn't want to kill anyone.

"[Second], no one is allowed to die."

Because my heart doesn't want anyone to die.

"[Three], we must not let anyone see through it."

Because being seen through means death.

"[Fourth], any means are justified."

Because as long as it's not detected, any form of cheating cannot be called cheating.

"[Five] Their rules have nothing to do with us."

[Because they fundamentally disapprove of mutual slaughter, it is utterly despicable.]

"[VI] Any violation of the above rules will be considered a defeat."

Because one's own heart believes that a victory that violates these rules is worthless.

Finally, Rick clenched his outstretched fist and pressed it against his heart.

"So... let's follow those rules and go all out!"

Rick's eyes seemed to gleam with a ghostly light at that moment, a side of Rick that no one had ever seen before.

But what remains the same as before is that this man inspires an irresistible urge to trust and dedicate oneself to him!

"We are [ghosts]."

"All races, including divine beings."

"We must not kill any of them, and we must absolutely prevent them from discovering our presence."

"All we need to do is manipulate the battle and end this war."

"The end of the great battle! That is our victory!"

Rules that prioritize emotions and are even harsh are practically akin to [childish capriciousness].

[No method, no strategy, and a goal that seems almost impossible to achieve.]

"The enemy is a god! Possessing devastating violence! The embodiment of despair! The odds of victory are as minuscule as dust, because the conditions for victory must be accomplished in secret."

"Even if we win, it won't remain in anyone's memory or record."

"We are [ghosts], and [ghosts] cannot speak."

"But...if..."

"If only we could actually finish this game and win!"

With his most excited smile, he explained the motivation behind this insane act of defining a crazy world as a "game"!

"[Our lives are so amazing!]!"

"Can't we just stand tall and say that, and then die proudly?"

The final ending, the best ending, is nothing more than a comforting phrase: a beautiful death...

[Rick's declaration, which could almost be described as illogical, made Shubi's eyes widen in astonishment!]

Something has been set on fire...

Chapter 408 [Swearing an Oath to a Shared Will]!

No Game No Life World, Sora: "The original alliance...?"

In No Game No Life Zero, Jibril says: "Hahahaha~ These lowly humans actually dare to dream of instigating a war between the major races! Is it laughable~ or is it just overestimating themselves? Hehe~"

In the world of Genius Basic Law (Strawberry), Bao Xiaomeng says, "Hmm... I don't understand. Why can't we be discovered by the enemy? If everything is done in secret, won't we miss a lot of opportunities?"

In the world of Detective Chinatown, Noda Hao says, "Because once discovered, the rage of a creature that realizes it has been used by others is something they cannot bear."

In the world of Food Wars!, Mito Ikumi says, "...But what's the point of these rules? They just seem to be binding my already powerless hands and feet... Not killing anyone, not letting anyone die, how is that possible? Humans simply don't have the power to stop the conflicts between other races!"

In the First Sequence World, Wang Fugui said, "Indeed... no matter how you look at it, it's just a shackle."

In the Ultraman Ace world, Ace says: "Shackles sometimes represent not just a layer of restraint, but a constant reminder to never forget your true self."

"Then, those who want to participate in this game, please stay here."

After telling him everything, Rick closed his eyes and waited for the person leaving to depart.

He chuckled inwardly. There probably aren't many idiots who would participate in this kind of [game]...

Without exception, those who survive in this world possess extraordinary abilities or skills.

[A life of constant wandering, yet he managed to survive several times.]

Although in the eyes of other races, it may be nothing more than insignificant dust.

However, barring unforeseen circumstances, as dust, they can also drift even further.

There's absolutely no reason to participate in this ridiculous farce, a game with virtually no chance of success.

I doubt anyone will stay. This isn't something a sane person would do; a fool can manage on his own.

If it really turns out that way, then there's nothing we can do. Even in the worst-case scenario, it's just me and Hugh.

The difference in win rate is merely a matter of moving from the other side of emptiness to the other side of Nirvana and tranquility. (This number is 10 to the power of -24)

Rick was torn. He couldn't come up with a plan that would succeed with just two people, but he also didn't want to see an idiot risk their life in his hands...

What a contradiction...

[The quiet moment... passed by, second by second...]
