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

The moment Rick opened his eyes again, he saw that everyone had an expression that said, "I can't stand this guy."

The outcome was unclear—whether it was expected or unexpected—but no one left.

"...Ah~ I'll just tell the truth then?"

"I originally thought you guys were supposed to be a bit smarter."

Upon hearing Rick's words, all 177 [ghosts] present, excluding Rick and Shubi, displayed a variety of expressions.

"Hey, don't make the wrong judgment right from the start, or people will worry about you later."

Someone said with a wry smile.

"Rick, do you think there are still any smart people left in this world after all this?"

[Someone joked.]

"How can there possibly be any normal people left in this world after everything has come to this!"

[He said it somewhat jokingly.]

"The wise choose death in this world, the wiser choose not to be born..."

The crowd surged towards Rick.

"Those who are here, those who have survived to this day, are all people who chose to believe in you, Rick!"

"Isn't this just picking out the epitome of idiots?!"

【"Hahahahahaha!!" *N】

Everyone burst into laughter.

People believed in Rick, just as they once believed he could lead them to survival, and now they believed he could lead them to end this endless war!

After a bitter laugh, Rick also laughed.

Humans are foolish.

[It is precisely because of foolishness that we cultivate wisdom so as not to be killed by that foolishness.]

[They survived even in a world where survival seemed pointless.]

[The people who staked all their intellect, wisdom, and technology on this.]

If they aren't noble-minded fools, or respectable weaklings, what else could they be?

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Lu Xiaoyu said, "...Not a single person left. Only at this moment did I realize that all the grievances and pain that Rick endured were worthwhile..."

In the Honkai Impact 3rd world of the Railway, Himeko says: "For the survival of the race, someone must always bear the pain and hope, and always choose to believe in the choice of this 'leader'! Not considering personal gain, but wholeheartedly [paving the way] for the future, is also a breathtaking sight."

This hero is incredibly strong, yet excessively cautious about the world. Ristarte: "Sigh... Why does [war] even exist? Wouldn't it be better if everyone just lived together peacefully..."

Super Beast Armed World, Whale Shark King: "Because of greed, human desires are like a rolling boulder from a high mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped."

"A person will never think they have too much food, nor will they think their house is too big."

"When he has a small house, he will want a big house; when he has a big house, he will want a large house."

"However, resources are limited, land is limited, and when everyone wants them, the only way to deal with limited resources is to plunder."

In the world of Under One Person, Wang Ye said, "Alas~ Endless desires, this 'abyss' has already devoured countless human bones."

"Let's go all out!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from the noisy crowd.

"I swear by the will of my fallen compatriots!"

【"[I swear to his legacy]!!!" *N】

This 'oath' was a method Rick taught them six years ago, a way to entrust their beliefs to others.

But today, they have a new goal.

"No, we are not swearing an oath to the will of the deceased, but rather to act in accordance with rules that everyone agrees on."

So it should be...

Rick slowly raised his hand, just as he had six years ago when he first uttered that vow.

"[I swear an oath to our shared will!]"

And so, these non-existent people began to carry out actions that did not exist.

[The future and hope were taken away, and even despair was felt, until finally, even that despair became tiresome.]

No more waiting, but searching and creating!

【"So……"】

On the high cliff, Rick and Shupi stood together, gazing at the blood-red sky in the distance.

The vastness of the sky contrasts sharply with the tiny figures of the two!

This is the ants' rebellion against the heavens!

This is the soil's struggle against the bright moon!

This is a battlefield between snow and blazing sun!

"Let's start the game!"

Following his heart, Rick, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, began this game—a game without fairness, without hope, and without a tomorrow!

Chapter 409 What did it do to you, a virgin!

The people, clad in black robes, blended into the night; lacking [elves], any creature they encountered could easily kill them.

[But precisely because they lack [elves], as long as they conceal themselves well, no creature can detect them!]

"Rick...Shubi...still doesn't understand [the heart]..."

[This is what Shubi said as they followed Rick towards their goal.]

"...Rick, the success rate of each of your strategies... is less than 1%..."

"But everyone is so confident that they can succeed, right?"

Rick preemptively voiced Shubi's next question.

【"……Um……"】

[She just saw it; everyone seemed to have touched Rick's heart and resonated with it, but there was only one exception...]

Only one person was excluded, and that was... Shubi herself...

Thinking of this, Hughie lowered her head in disappointment.

"Then let me ask you, Hugh, what is the probability of rolling a six on a die?"

"...one-sixth."

"What if there was a non-existent being who replaced the dice with dice that could only roll a six?"

These words were like a wake-up call, making Huggie understand Rick's thoughts.

"Manipulation of variables?"

"That's right, that's cheating. Pretty fun, huh?"

"We are the singularity in computation."

Rick covered the glowing stone with a cloth; it was no longer needed.

This is a cave filled with enormous, transparent crystals.

Then Shubi heard Rick continue.

"Consolidate all predictions, strategies, and calculations in the direction we desire, in case we succeed..."

【"Miracle……"】

"Shuby quickly answered this conclusion."

"If that happens... probability theory will become a far-fetched argument..."

"Yes, anything is possible."

"In probability theory, there is neither zero nor one hundred; ultimately, it's just theoretical."

"Do you want me to prove it to you?"

Rick said with a smile.

Indeed, from a probability standpoint, the chance of rolling a six on a die is one in six. However, if we consider more realistic factors, such as human manipulation to ensure that every roll of the die results in a six, then...

Because [that person] doesn't exist, no one will doubt this conclusion.

Rick and his companions must reclaim everything that probability has dismissed, because they have no other choice; the future holds only survival and death.

Therefore, for them, this is the difference between success and failure; it's an extremely rare opportunity with a one-in-half chance of success!

Of course, success on the first try is impossible. The experience gained through sacrifice will eventually become the silent skill to manipulate the dice!

"[Question], what are the chances that I will confess my feelings to Hughie right now?"

In the world of To Love-Ru, Risa Momioka: "Haa~~ The ultimate love that transcends species! Has it finally begun~!"

Eros Chocolate World, Metata: "Hehe~~ My favorite episode!"

In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Star exclaims: "Huh?? Shubi, damn it! Do I have no chance left?!"

"...? [Question], intention unclear... [Estimation], probability is almost zero."

"See, that's wrong..."

[With that, Rick knelt on one knee, took out a small ring from his pocket, and looked intently into the eyes of the 'girl' before him, saying...]

"Marry me, Shubi!"

Shubi froze... her round eyes fixed on Rick, who was offering her the ring.

"...I cannot...understand...I refuse."

In the world of Zhenhun Street, Xia Ling exclaimed, "Huh?...Huh?!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Lu Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Okay... Ah?!!"

In the world of Under One Person, Lu Linglong exclaimed, "Not buddy?? Did I just hear that right?"

In the world of Genius Basic Law (Strawberry), Bao Xiaomeng exclaimed, "...Did I hear that right...No! Why?!"

Honkai Impact 3rd Railway World, Star: "Ahem~ Sorry, everyone! I was the one who intercepted it!"

"I'm so sorry!"

"How dare a mere virgin like him get so arrogant! Aaaaaah!!"

[His earnest marriage proposal was rejected outright, and Rick completely lost all his color, meeting the apocalypse even before the world did.]

In the world of caged people, Fei Xingkong said, "Good heavens, they've all faded from crying."

What kind of world is this? Yu Wanyin: "Uh... virgin..."

In the world of Under One Person, Zhang Chulan says: "What's wrong with being a virgin! Huh! Then let me ask you! And Rick! If you failed to confess, you failed to confess! Why bring up being a virgin! Bah!"

In the Tang Dynasty world, Li Shimin sighed, "Alas, as the leader of a race, leaving behind the legacy of one's excellent bloodline is also very important. How could Rick..."

In the world of "The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System," Shen Qingqiu exclaims, "Could it be... Rick is gay?!"

My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, Akagi Sena: "?! Really?!"

No Game No Life Zero World, Chronie: "It's a ghost!!"

【"……marry……"】

[Shubi glanced at Rick, who was wailing beside her, then took a step forward, looking dazed.]

Her expression unusually unnatural as she explained.

"The contract between a human and their breeding partner...Shubi is a Machine Race..."

"Of course I know! But I still want to marry you!!"

Hearing Rick's answer without a single moment's hesitation, Shubi's pupils suddenly contracted!
