"I don't understand! But the Evil King's True Eye is the strongest." Rikka said confidently.

"..." Everyone looked at Rikka speechlessly. Who gave you the courage to speak so confidently when you don't understand anything?

Then everyone suddenly glanced at Satani, who was standing next to her with her arms crossed, looking at Gabriel with a smug expression. Well, it's not just Rikka who's like this.

Himezuki didn't seem to care and calmly gave the position to Rikka.

"Sorry, Hime-tsuki. Well then, our game is about to begin," Raphiel said with a smile.

"It's nothing." Ji Yue shook her head, indicating that she didn't care about these things.

Raphiel then placed the three chessboards side by side, and the others took their seats.

The positions of the six players and their opponents are as follows:

Gabriel vs. Satania.

Tsuchimikado Fuyuki vs. Raphiel.

Kana Nayuta versus Rikka.

The battle was about to begin, and everyone gathered around, curious to see what tricks they were up to.

Chapter 896 The Battle of the Righteous Path (Part 1)

"Is everyone ready?" Raphiel asked with a smile, looking at the five people who were standing at attention.

"Hmph, do I need to prepare for a mere game of shogi? Enough talk, let's get started," Satania said smugly.

“I won’t bully you, I’ll let you go first.” Gabriel said calmly as she looked at her.

"You can still keep a calm face now, but don't be scared to tears by my amazing strength later."

After Satania finished speaking, she picked up the piece marked "King" and placed it aggressively at the front, above the "Pawn." "It's time to go!"

Satania's move completely baffled everyone. What the heck? Are you sure you really understand the rules?

Her move was like placing the general's piece in front of the pawn in chess—this is no joke!

Therefore, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Crab King, who were about to play a game of Go, were also taken aback, and silently withdrew their hands that were about to pick up the Go pieces.

Hmm, let's see how this guy plays!

Especially after seeing that referee Raphiel hadn't blown the whistle, everyone was even more hesitant to act.

Raphiel, who originally wanted to "blow the whistle unfairly" and bully Satania, abandoned his idea of ​​unilaterally bullying Satania because there were two other regions involved. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to break the rules of shogi and make the competition more interesting.

"Hey! Do you even know the rules?" Gabriel retorted speechlessly.

“How can a great king be respected if he is only protected by a large army? Only when he takes the lead will his soldiers be willing to risk their lives to follow him.”

Satania laughed and said, "Come on, this is a move I created myself, a devilish move. How will you deal with it, Gabriel!"

Although everyone knows she's talking nonsense, it has to be said that what she says makes a lot of sense.

"Hey, Raphie, isn't this a foul?" Gabriel asked speechlessly.

"Hey! Did I commit a foul?" Satania immediately realized, wondering if there was something wrong with her movement.

Wait a minute, there shouldn't be any problem!

Standing at the rear, protected by soldiers, how could anyone possibly want to follow the king?

A king should be stronger and braver than anyone else!

“No foul! The game can continue.” Raphiel said with a smile, “Now it’s Jia’s turn.”

"Hmph! Gabriel, you still don't understand the way of the king! Come on, Gabriel, let's fight!" Satania said smugly.

As expected, she hadn't gone to the wrong place at all; Gabriel was the one who didn't understand the rules.

"The King's Way?" Gabriel glanced at Raphiel. Sure enough, this guy had no intention of playing serious shogi!

But this is good, it makes dealing with Satania much easier.

"A king who is too powerful will make his subordinates seem incompetent. A king should just laze around and wait to die, while his soldiers fight for glory."

After Gabriel finished speaking, she took several foot soldiers and walked forward, looking like she wanted to surround Satania's "king".

"To be honest, seeing Gabriel's actions, everyone was too lazy to complain. Anyway, things had already started to go wrong with Satania, so it didn't matter how much she messed things up."

Besides, Gabriel's reasoning wasn't wrong at all.

After all, we're no longer discussing the rules of shogi, but rather the ideal way of the game in everyone's mind.

Although none of them were kings.

Satania didn't find anything wrong with Gabriel's continuous moves; on the contrary, she approved of Gabriel's actions.

But just as she was about to move her piece, she heard Raphiel say, "Alright, it's the second division's turn!"

"Is it our turn? You go first then," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said calmly.

Well, it's already like this, let's see how Raphiel plays this game.

"Oh my, is it my turn? I don't understand the so-called 'royal way,' but a duel should look like a duel. How can it be a battle if no one dies?"

Raphiel, with her saintly demeanor, uttered devilish words that sent chills down everyone's spines.

"I feel like something's about to pop out." Sagiri looked behind Raphiel and hid behind Winette in fear. She immediately felt as if she was being protected by something and felt relieved.

Yes, both her actions and expressions were like a knife stabbing into Winette's heart. Am I really that unlike a demon?

“Then let’s have a pre-battle duel.” After Raphiel finished speaking, she picked up the “flying chariot” and placed it at the very front of the team, facing her “king” across the Tsuchimikado Tou’s infantry.

Simply put, it means using the rook as a cannon in chess, and even allowing it to jump over other pieces.

"Hehe, Laphie, you're quite aggressive!" Tsuchimikado Tou said with a smile. "But I like it. A king should crush his opponents head-on and show his domineering nature."

A true king should be fearless in battle, fearless in defeat. If an enemy dares to provoke him, then fight them! If anyone dares to extend a claw, then chop them off! Under heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are the king's subjects!

He then placed the flying car in the same spot as Raphiel.

However, on top of that, Tsuchimikado Fuyu made another move, which was to place "Keima" under the flying chariot.

Yes, that's right, it's the real lower half.

"Uh, what does this mean?" Winette blinked, looking completely bewildered.

"How can a general not have a good horse?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said matter-of-factly.

Everyone looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with speechless expressions. When it comes to maneuvering, yours is truly amazing.

However, Raphiel had no objections; on the contrary, she found the game increasingly interesting. "Oh dear, now it's the third region's turn."

"Hmph, you don't understand anything about the King's Way, but the Evil King's True Eye is the strongest!" Rikka removed her eyepatch and shouted, "Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banish this world!"

"By the blood oath, I summon you! Appear, Dark Corruptor, Mutant Infantry! Servant of the Evil King!"

As she spoke, Rikka flipped all the infantry over and explained, "The servants of the Evil King are controlled by the Evil King's True Eye. Any enemy they defeat will be mutated and assimilated."

Crab looked at Rikka with a bewildered expression. Good heavens, I exclaimed, "Good heavens! It's one thing for others to play chess randomly, but you've taken it to a whole new level! It's simply outrageous!"

However, she wasn't so easily defeated. After all, she was a writer; how could she do without imagination?

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Chapter 897 The Battle of the Righteous Path (Part 2)

“I see everyone likes to attack, so I’ll play a defensive style.” After saying that, Crab Queen stood up all her “infantry” pieces, forming an arc, like a city wall, to protect the remaining pieces.

"Hmph, so what if you've mutated, Rikka? You can't infect me if you can't break through my walls." The crab said smugly, looking at the thoughtful Rikka.

"So that's how it is. You saw through the Evil King's servant's lack of wisdom? No wonder he's Kyoko's lifelong enemy; he's not to be underestimated."

Everyone stared at Rikka speechlessly. It's one thing for you to spout nonsense, but to actually try to justify it for the other person is just ridiculous.

But despite the complaints, the game must go on.

The first round of probing is over; the second round should be the official attack.

Satania started the game, and she quickly picked up all the pieces and arranged them in a certain pattern, forming a bat-like shape.

At this moment, her "King" is at the very front, serving as the head of the bat, while the remaining pieces are arranged very symmetrically, as if trying to break through Gabriel's infantry encirclement and forming a counter-encirclement.

"Hmph! Since the king has taken the lead, how can the soldiers not follow him to the death? At this moment, my soldiers will attack in three directions, making it impossible for you to deal with them all at the same time."

"Hey! Gabriel, this is my Demon Array! Bring it on!" Satania laughed triumphantly.

Although Satania's moves are becoming increasingly absurd and no longer confined to the squares of the board, the fact that Tsuchimikado and Crab have made their moves public has prevented it from drawing criticism.

Of course, there were still some complaints. Tsuchimikado Fuyu couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect this guy to actually have a tactical mind. This troop formation looks quite reasonable."

"..." Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were reluctant to admit it, it was indeed acceptable if the rules of shogi were disregarded.

However, at this moment, Gabriel did something that baffled everyone. She calmly threw the two "Gui Ma" into Satania's "array".

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you trying to admit defeat?" Satania stared blankly at Gabriel, then asked with a hint of delight.

“Didn’t you tell me to bring it on?” Gabriel said calmly, “Here, the horse has been released.”

“…Xiao Jia, don’t tell lame jokes at a time like this,” Winette said speechlessly.

"Hmph, things aren't that simple," Gabriel said calmly. "Kema is trapped in enemy territory, which will activate his passive ability and allow him to evolve!"

"Evolution? What's that? Didn't she break the rules?" Satania pointed at Gabriel and asked Raphiel with a puzzled look.

Everyone rolled their eyes at her speechlessly. If we're talking about fouls, wasn't it you who started it?

And why are you only realizing now that someone committed a foul?

Compared to the evolution that could have happened naturally, Rikka's mutation is even more outrageous, okay? Why didn't you question its rationality?

“Shogi can indeed evolve,” Raphiel said with a smile. “There were no fouls.”

Well, although the conditions for evolution were wrong, and Keima's path was also wrong, such trivial matters are not important, are they?

"Alright then! I'd like to see what this mere evolution can do to me!" After hearing this, Satania stopped dwelling on the matter and calmly said.

"Evolution may not be able to defeat you, but I still have my ultimate technique!"

"The ultimate technique?" Satania looked at Gabriel with some nervousness. Did she have some other secret move?

That's not right. My win rate is already very high. I really can't find a reason why Gabriel could win.

No way, Gabriel must be bluffing. I can't let her fool me.
