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

I'm sorry, Rick...

Please forgive Huggie's little bit of selfishness...

Even if you leave, please let Shubi... be Rick's wife...

[“Sizzle… sizzle… sizzle…”]

[Communications are about to collapse...]

"I see. I retract my previous label of you 'scrap metal' and apologize for it."

Dark purple lightning wove into a magic circle, and the resulting shockwaves blotted out the sky!

Jibril spoke in a completely cold tone. The two hundred-plus seconds of fighting had taught her one thing.

"Your aircraft is now a threat that must be eliminated here, and I consider you an enemy worthy of my full attention."

【5, 4...】

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The already fragile connection was further weakened by the surging, powerful 'spirits' emanating from the opponent!

【"Sizzle..."】

[Destroyed...]

Like the last spark extinguished by a cold wind...

The communication signal between Shubi and the [connector] has been lost...

So what if I'm reincarnated as a spider? In this world, Spider Child: "No—!!!"

In the Star Journey world, Gudu: "...How could this be...We were just a little bit away from it..."

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Lu Xiaoyu cried out. "It's all... over..."

Himouto! Umaru-chan World, Doma Umaru: "...No! I don't believe it! It's enough, isn't it! Shubi's feelings for Riku! Even if it's 98%! No, even if it's only 90%, it's enough!"

"That's enough for the [Connection] to analyze what the [Heart] is, right? Actually, Shubi's efforts have already succeeded! Right!!"

"Right……"

Chapter 428 Next time... we definitely don't want to be divided up again... Oh...

In the Honkai Star Railway world, Screw Gum said: "Unfortunately... the data transmission process is not a 'linear time sequence' transmission. Based on formal analysis, the data transmission of the Machine species is more likely to be transmitted through in-game data parsing."

The villain initializes the world. Ling Chen: "The advantage of this data transmission is its completeness and sequential arrangement; errors can be reported in real time. The disadvantage is..."

"Without a complete data link, all the data transmitted before is like all the words in a book scattered on the ground. Whether it's 98% or 99.9%... it's unreadable and cannot be reconstructed."

During the time the transmission was interrupted...

Every moment felt like an eternity...

Is it over? Is this the end?

【"Sizzle..."】

[The three communication lines, so faint they were almost imperceptible, suddenly lit up!]

【Then!】

【…3, 2, 1!】

"Synchronization complete."

The intermittent sound appeared in Shubi's ears.

The radiant glow of the [Connected Body]'s calculations vanished, but... the red aura around its core grew... grew... more... melancholic?

Hearing the final result, Shubi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Shuby won this game..."

She smiled contentedly.

Meanwhile, Jibril's attack was fully charged.

[Sky Strike].

[There was no room for doubt; this was the Skywing Race transforming all its internal structures into the Elf Corridor's connecting nerves, drawing power from the source current of the Elf Corridor to unleash its power.]

[The most powerful attack of the Skywing race.]

However, Jibril's Sky Strike... the 'vortex' in the sky surged with power like a tsunami...

[That [Sky Strike] was on a completely different level from the [Sky Strike] that the Machine Armored Clan had faced from other Skywing Clans, as described in the data; the difference was simply too great...]

Jibril... she really isn't someone I can fight alone...

There is no chance of survival in this attack...

[Shubi understood this with absolute clarity.]

Fortunately, she managed to make amends at the last moment...

【"üc207Pr4f5t9……Correction, [last will and testament] Schwi…"】

"Now it's [our turn] over to you. You're allowed to rest... Sweet dreams."

As if in response to Shubi, the [Connection]'s last voice told Shubi that she had succeeded...

[If it were the previous [Connector], there's no way they could have said something like that...]

【[Heart]……】

[As expected, I'm still a little unwilling... That clearly belonged only to Shubi...]

"[The classics are established, the rules of conduct are followed.]"

[Sky Strike] will mercilessly blast itself into ashes; that's for sure.

However... if all the output of the [Passage Rules] is concentrated within a radius of twelve centimeters... it should be enough to protect it.

A defensive blue light shone on the ring finger of the left hand, like a guardian protecting the small ring.

[...only the ring Rick gave her...]

She didn't want to lose it all again...

This was Shiro's last bit of power... she had burned herself out...

She couldn't sense anything... even Jibril's world-destroying attack appeared incredibly slow to her...

This must be what humans call a revolving lantern...

In her mind, every moment she spent with Rick played out before her eyes like a long movie.

Before meeting Riku, Shubi's life was gray...

Seven years ago, when Shubi first met Riku, a feeling arose deep within her for the first time: curiosity...

Why...why did that boy look at me like that...?

[Secretly observing Rick, the first time meeting Rick, the first time playing chess with Rick, the first time injuring Rick...]

Countless 'first times,' like various colored paints, have painted the colors of Shubi's heart...

In the end, she became Rick's wife...

That was the happiest moment of her life!

[As expected... Riku... Shiro... Without Riku... nothing can be done...]

However… he felt that he could set the [rules of passage] by himself, and that there was no need to put Rick in danger.

That arrogance led to this outcome...

As expected... Riku was right...

[If it were Rick, he probably... no, he definitely could even fool this Winged One and successfully avoid the battle...] Shubi firmly believed.

Why did you let go of Riku's hand...? You had decided to stop doubting him...

He said he wanted me to stay by his side forever... I shouldn't leave Rick's side even for a second...

She knew perfectly well that Rick would never agree to such a thing...

[Rick, deep down, didn't want to see anyone die...]

And... Chronie... I'm sorry... Schwi... in the end, you weren't a good wife...

I'm sorry... Rick...

The flashback has ended...

[Sky Strike] seems to have already reached her...

A vast power began to devour everything...

"...Rick..."

She softly called out her husband's name, even though he wasn't beside her.

[Shubi's voice transmitter was already damaged; he couldn't possibly hear...]

Even so, Shubi still felt she had to say it...

"...Hey...Rick..."

"...Shubi...finally understands..."

[Because she remembered that there was a sentence she had never said aloud.]

"...Shubi...is so lucky to have met Riku..."

Now, she finally understands the meaning of that sentence clearly...

"...Next time...I will absolutely not let go..."

I will never leave you again... because...

"I really... really... love you so much... oh..."

The world was illuminated by the aurora borealis, a result of a violent energy explosion...

[It illuminated the 'giant telescope' that Shubi and Rick once built together...]

The light illuminated Rick, who was fast asleep in a secluded cave. As if sensing something, he slowly opened his eyes in the darkness. His palm, however, did not feel the warmth that had sustained him through his painful struggle…

[Illuminated somewhere, in the [connection], on the supercomputer that operates at the core of computation, shaped like a human head, a drop of light that should never have appeared...]

[...tears...]

Chapter 429 The Fate of the [Anomaly]

In the world of Genshin Impact, Fryna says, "The water element... is overflowing..."

In the world of the Demon List, Long Sanyuan: "...Pearls...so many pearls..."

"...Let's use these pearls as a necklace...Shubi...Sweet dreams..."

In the world of "The Basic Law of Genius (Strawberry)", Bao Xiaomeng: "Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

In the world of "So What If I Was Reincarnated as a Spider," Spider Child exclaims: "It's fake... This must be fake! How could no one come to the rescue! Impossible! Impossible!! Hahahaha! Hahahaha!!!"

In the Star Journey world, McDonald: "This sentiment... can't just stop here!"

Super Beast Armed World, Whale Shark King: "Love can teach people to be strong, but only strength can bring final victory."

Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Aqua: "It will! Shiro's feelings will definitely be understood by Riku... Next time, next time we must be together! *crying*"

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

To be honest, watching your heart being pried open bit by bit, bearing all your suppressed thoughts and despair...

Watching someone call out their own name until their very last breath...

I really... really... love you...

...Click...

Is the lock... open?
