I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

[The Unwinnable]: Thank you for your comfort.

Almost everyone in the group was encouraging Riku, but Carl didn't speak at that moment. Instead, he fell into thought, as if he could guess the background of this newcomer.

In his memory, there weren't many worlds that had been at war for tens of thousands of years. Coupled with the fact that the white-haired man was invincible, he was basically certain that this newcomer was Riku, the human leader from the world of No Game No Life 0.

The protagonists of No Game No Life are a brother and sister named Blank. They are taken by a god to a strange world where everything is decided by games, and thus begin their adventure.

Such a game world is certainly not what a normal world should be like, and No Game No Life 0 is the prequel to this story, explaining how that world was transformed from a war-torn place into a paradise.

"Ricuk joined the chat group, which still says it's 6000 years ago in the main story, a time when 15 races were fighting for supremacy. I just don't know how far the plot has progressed, or whether Riku and Shubi have started trying to end the war. If the time is right, maybe that place can be my new home."

Given Carl's personality, he would absolutely not want to choose a world full of fantasy abilities as his place of residence, but the world of Game of Life is different.

If he could obtain the treasure at the very center of that world, he could completely modify that world according to his own will, just like in the original story where the god turned the world into a game world, he could also make the world conform to his requirements.

With that in mind, Karl decided to take action.

[Superman]: In that case, let me give it a try. Maybe I can end the battle there.

In the game No Life, Riku was stunned. This... the other party isn't really here to help, is he? War is not child's play. Even if the other party is a savior who has saved the world, it would be too reckless for him to take the risk before he even asks for help. Is there really such a person?

Just as Riku was in a daze, Shubi came over and tugged at his sleeve.

“Richard, I roughly understand the story in this book. It’s about an absolutely righteous person who saves the world with great power, but it’s very unrealistic because I don’t think there would be such a person in reality.”

“Absolute justice…” Riku repeated.

"Richard, what are you thinking about?"

"Shubi, what do you think would happen if the people from that book came here?"

P.S.: Sorry, I will definitely update on time tomorrow, and there will be an extra chapter.

Chapter 259 Dividing the Army into Two Routes

Riku pondered whether he should use Carl's abilities to influence this war-torn world.

According to the group members, Superman has already saved their world, and after reading the comics, Shubi also gave him a powerful and righteous evaluation, so agreeing to let him come would be very beneficial.

Even if it cannot end this great war directly, it can at least improve the situation of the human side.

The only risk associated with this is that actively revealing his location makes him feel very insecure, since for humans in his world, exposure usually means death.

"Think about it rationally, there is absolutely nothing about humans that other races would want to take advantage of. Even if the other party is not a righteous person and has some ulterior motives, that is their business and the business of other races."

"Even the worst-case scenario is that the war between 15 races will become a war between 16 races. It can't get any worse."

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. This is exactly the situation in Riku now. Humanity has almost nothing left to lose. Bringing people from other worlds over represents a variable. It may get better or worse. But if you think about it carefully, the world is already like this. How much worse can it get?

Riku ultimately decided to introduce a variable. After thanking Carl, he began to inquire about the specific operating procedures.

[The Unwinner]: How do I activate that feature?

[Superman]: When you join, you will receive a newcomer gift pack. Just use the items given in it. There are instructions on the pack, so you should be able to figure it out after reading them.

Riku began figuring out how to use the party tickets, while Carl used the time to give some instructions.

"Are you leaving again? Although I've already mastered operating the Multiverse Tower, the research efficiency will decrease by at least 40% if one less person is involved." Möbius prefers smooth research processes.

“This new universe is special, and it might meet my requirements. I have to go there,” Karl explained.

"Alright, then remember to bring me some souvenirs," Möbius said helplessly.

“Okay.” Karl agreed, then instructed, “Logically speaking, since the major event just happened, there shouldn’t be any problems in more than a month. But if you really encounter trouble like a cosmic reboot, try to hide on the Origin Wall. It’s really troublesome to come down, but it’s better than being rebooted.”

Mebius nodded in understanding. It was indeed a good idea, and they were close to figuring out how to use the Speed ​​Force to escape the Origin Wall, thus minimizing the side effects.

【'The Unwinner' has used his party ticket; attendance is 0/3】

Riku had already extended an invitation, and Carl was the first to choose to join. Riku also clicked "accept," and soon he arrived in the world of No Game No Life Zero.

Although he had only said he would go, theoretically, a party ticket can invite up to three group members to his world, and now other group members have also become interested.

For example, when Kurumi Tokisaki saw the invitation, she really wanted to join in; more accurately, she wanted to temporarily leave her own world.

Ever since Tokisaki Kurumi used the Love Elixir on the Origin Spirit, the spirit has become attached to her. However, this bond, obtained through underhanded means, makes Tokisaki Kurumi very uneasy, so their daily interactions are quite restrained, which makes her like to go to other worlds for some fresh air.

However, just as Tokisaki Kurumi was about to ask if she could join, a new notification suddenly popped up in the chat group, announcing a new mission.

【Metal Gear Solid Wolf Fang】: @All members, come out quickly, there's a new mission.

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: That's great! I just finished celebrating the Lantern Festival here, so I shouldn't miss it.

[Spider]: Peeking out.

[Deadpool (not yet a zombie)]: This mission... well, I think I can handle it.

The tasks in the chat group are very lenient. There are no penalties for failure, and you can join and leave at any time. In theory, you can even ignore the tasks and treat it as a free trip to another world. So the appearance of the tasks also made everyone come out and show their faces.

In the No Game No Life Zero world, Karl, who had just arrived, quickly scrolled through the chat group. If this were a regular world, he would definitely prioritize missions over daily tasks, otherwise it would be a waste.

Carl opened the mission notification and saw the details inside.

[Mission Name: Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse]

[Mission Description: Our friendly neighbor Spider-Man has died, and his successor has yet to emerge. Of the six Spider-Men who were supposed to descend from a parallel universe, only three have appeared. Evil forces are gaining the upper hand...]

[Mission Objective: Correct the world's errors, or directly thwart the supervillain's plot.]

[Mission Reward: 3000 points, or a stable supply of one radiated spider.]

[Task Difficulty Assessment: b+]

Carl squinted, his interest waning after reading the mission description. He was fairly certain that the mission took place in the animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," meaning it was part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No wonder Deadpool said he could do it.

Based on the mission description, it's likely not from the original animated cinematic universe, and there would be even fewer helpers. However, the Marvel universe is incredibly vast, with many universes being so similar that they only have minor differences, so this situation is quite normal.

Anyway, Karl doesn't plan to go to any Marvel universe. Those places are just as bad as DC, with so many crises all the time that they'd drive you crazy.

Carl disliked the Marvel universe, and the rewards for this mission held no appeal for him, so he decided to ignore the mission and focus on dealing with the events in the No Game No Life Zero world.

[Superman]: This mission doesn't seem too difficult, so I won't participate. Mr. Wusheng's situation is worse than I imagined.

[Deadpool (not yet turned into a zombie)]: Don't worry, I know New York like the back of my hand. Uncle Deadpool will carry you guys this time.

[Time Spirit]: You're completely unreliable.

[Deadpool (not yet turned into a zombie)]: Trust me, Spider-Man is my buddy. With our friendship, we can easily join Spider-Man's team. That would make things much easier later on.

[Time Spirit]: Sigh, who else is going to do this mission?

[Spider]: Me.

[It's a Qilin, not a Coconut Sheep]: I'll go too, don't worry, Mr. Superman, we'll definitely complete this mission beautifully.

[Superman]: Your own safety should be the priority.

Karl had a lot of confidence in his group members, even though the doctor and Bronya would be absent because they had things to do in their respective worlds.

In terms of vision and overall strategy, there's Gan Yu, who has lived for a long time; in terms of strength, there's Spider-Girl; in terms of special abilities, there's Kurumi Tokisaki; and in terms of comedic characters, there's Deadpool. Perfectly clearing this dungeon should be a sure thing.

Chapter 260 Adapting to the World

The group members went to Spider-Man's universe to complete their mission. Although Riku was quite curious about what other worlds were like, he undoubtedly had more to worry about on his own side.

After he clicked the "agree" button, a person wearing a blue bodysuit and a red cape appeared in front of him. He immediately noticed the "S" on the person's chest.

Is this human? Riku thought to himself. From the outside, the other party looked almost exactly like a human, but it was most likely not human, because in his understanding, humans could not fly.

"Hello, Mr. Superman, um, can you understand me?" Riku greeted him, but then suddenly remembered something.

Judging from the comics that a friend in the group just sent over, the writing system in other worlds is different from theirs, so their languages ​​are naturally different too. How is he supposed to communicate with them?

“Hello (otherworldly language).” Karl responded, though still somewhat awkwardly, he was already speaking the language of this world.

“This book mentions that Superman is a species called Kryptonians, who possess many abilities compared to humans, including intelligence. He can learn a language in just a few minutes,” Shubi said to Riku while holding the comic book.

“I see. No wonder he’s someone who can save the world. Let’s teach him the relevant language first,” Riku said.

Hughie nodded, and a large screen was projected from the device in her hair, displaying the languages ​​and scripts used by all the races in the world.

Carl stared at it for a while, and quickly solved the related language problem.

"Hello, may I ask how I should address you both?"

“My name is Riku, and this is Shiro, a Machine Race. Speaking of species, our two worlds must be different,” Riku said.

“Indeed, my world has humans and mechanical life forms, but there is no such thing as a machine race,” Karl replied.

"Then let me tell you about it. This also involves the root of the great war... Shubi, if I have missed anything, please add it."

As Carl listened, he compared the information with his own memory. After all, he had only seen the animated film, and there might be some oversights.

There are 16 races in the world of No Game No Life.

This includes the following species: gods, fantasy creatures, elves, dragon spirits, giants, winged creatures, forest spirits, goblins, fairies, mechs, demons, vampires, moonlit creatures, beastmen, marine creatures, and humans.

At this point in time, humans are classified as animals, not as some kind of intelligent species.

Because most races were created by gods, their intelligence was innate, while humans were the only ones who gradually evolved intelligence, starting as just monkeys.

Other races looked down on and didn't care about humans, so naturally, humans had no part in this great war; it was all other races, especially the high-ranking races, fighting to the death.

"Since it's a war, there must be a reason. What are they fighting for? For hatred, resources, or something else?"

“To compete for the Star Cup,” Riku said after a moment of silence.

"After so long of war, the various races have long been enemies and will actively provoke trouble. But the most fundamental reason is still that the gods are fighting for the Star Cup. The god who possesses the Star Cup will be the only god."

The Star Cup is a conceptual device that can control the world, and it easily arouses people's greed. However, Riku still revealed its existence because this information could not be kept secret and could be found out by any race other than humans.

"So, in other words, getting the Star Cup will end this great battle, right?"

"It's not that simple. The manifestation of the Star Grail requires supreme power. Gods want to defeat other gods to prove that they are the strongest, which is why they start wars."

“I roughly understand the situation,” Karl nodded and said. “Since power is needed, let’s first confirm what level I’m at in this world.”

Karl knows the basic settings, and it seems he knows even more than Riku. For example, the supreme power is already possessed by Artes, the creator of the Skywing race and the God of War.

The opponent was a war god who craved battle, not crushing, which is why he stayed in his dwelling and never came out. Even when he created the Skywing race, he had the expectation that the opponent would defeat him.

However, we can discuss the God of War later. For now, let's first understand the power of this world. No Game No Life focuses on various fantasy games, and there aren't many battle scenes. Karl can't determine the strength of the characters in this world based solely on his memories of their performance.

"How can you be sure?" Riku asked curiously.
