"What if it's not meaningless?" Ignoring Rick's refusal, Shubi had already opened the chessboard and, while arranging the pieces, said to Rick, "If you win, Shubi will provide you with the information you need."

"For example, the reasons that started the war, and the conditions that brought it to an end."

After arranging the chess pieces, Shubi observed Rick's facial expression and slowly spoke.

Everyone noticed that Riku was suppressing his anger; if only he could defeat the machine-type girl in front of him...

"Oh? This kind of information is very useful~ But given the fighting strength of humans... what good will it do to know it?" In the Naruto world, Orochimaru shook his head, somewhat dismissive.

He was more interested in what would happen next: would Rick and Shubi have children?

What do their descendants look like? What are their mechanical abilities? What are their actual combat capabilities?

"Kakashi-sensei, why does Riku seem uninterested in this information?" Looking at Riku's cold expression in the video, Naruto Uzumaki asked Kakashi, puzzled.

If we defeat Schubert, we can learn the conditions and then end this devastating war.

"...That's right, Naruto. Although information is important, based on the strength humans have shown us so far, and their current living conditions, it's not enough to affect the outcome." Kakashi rubbed his head, observing the daily work of the human settlement where Riku lived, using his experience from the Anbu to make a judgment.

He learned that the humans living here were not doing well, and the population was very small...

It was already quite remarkable that they could find a place where they could hide from the black ash falling from the sky and where there was also a water source.

Faced with absolute power, Kakashi didn't believe that human wisdom and strategy could have any impact or cause any changes; simply surviving was already a miracle.

Upon hearing Kakashi's explanation, Naruto Uzumaki lowered his head in disappointment, not satisfied with the answer.

He refused to believe that humanity had no chance of turning the tide!

In the world of One Piece, watching this scene in the video, Robin couldn't help but think of the scholars of Ohara. A sad expression appeared on her face as she murmured to herself, "Is deciphering the Poneglyphs really more important than one's own life, one's own family...?"

Like Rick, even if he now knows the intelligence and the solution, what can he change...?

But his situation was quite different from that of the scholars.

He was in a situation where he had to change, he had to win.

"Miss Robin~~~..What's wrong? Did you think of something sad again?" Sanji walked over with a freshly mixed red cocktail, striking a gentlemanly pose and smiling slightly.

This roundup of memorable moments was a bit dull for him, as there weren't any women he liked appearing.

Moreover, the environment surrounding this matter was so oppressive that it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

It feels a bit like... being in my hometown.

"It's okay~ Thank you, it's delicious."

Upon hearing Sanji's concern, Robin immediately adjusted her mood, put on an emotional mask, and replied with a smile.

You can't let your companions know about these things yet.

"Ha... How boring! I'm not interested! Besides, I don't need to know this stuff." Rick chuckled, poking at the food in his bowl with the dagger in his hand, as if venting his anger at the food.

"As for what I truly want..." Rick, being human, didn't need this information. He picked up a piece of food from his bowl, held it out to Shubi as if venting his anger, and said coldly, "It's simply the way to survive today... nothing more."

"The real reason I brought you to my side is because of the knowledge, mathematics, and design technology possessed by your Mechs. If we win, I'll take that knowledge." This was the first time Rick had wasted food, and he slowly revealed his reason to Shubi.

"...Okay...I understand..."

"In this environment, it's extraordinary that humans can still survive..." As she spoke, Shubi picked up the food that had fallen onto the chessboard.

Hughie didn't notice, Rick

The anger on his face, growing increasingly difficult to suppress, was about to break through the barriers of his heart.

"Even the analysis of the Machine Race cannot explain how a species as fragile as humans, with an underdeveloped civilization and unable to use Spirit Power, has survived..."

As Rick listened to Shubi's analysis, his eyes gradually turned icy cold. He thought of his childhood, of his parents who had sacrificed their lives to shield him from a devastating attack.

"There must be a reason for this... there must be some element of survival... this element, according to speculation, is the heart... Shubi wants to know what the heart is..."

"Hey!" Rick interrupted Shubi, stopping her from continuing, his tone utterly cold.

Shubi looked up at Rick, somewhat bewildered.

"Are you kidding me?" Rick said, his voice still filled with rage despite his best efforts to suppress his anger.

[Shubi sensed boundless anger in Rick's tone and called out in bewilderment, "Rick?"]

"You wage war at will, taking everything from us, and then what nonsense are you spouting?!" Rick, head bowed, trembling with rage, gripped his dagger tightly, his voice hoarse, "Humans... why are you still alive? Tell us what's hidden in your hearts!"

As he spoke, his anger even extinguished the nearby illumination crystal. Rick angrily stood up from the ground and roared, "Fine! I'll tell you!"

"My thought has never changed since the day I made my move: you all must die!!!" Rick roared, gripping his dagger tightly. He shoved Shubi to the floor, the dagger digging an inch into Shubi's head.

Hearing Rick's furious roar after releasing the "Heart Lock," Shubi's citrine-like eyes flickered.

Chapter 72 Racing Queen Chrone

[In the video, Rick is suppressing Shubi, speaking angrily incessantly. At this moment, the boy... can no longer suppress the anger and sorrow in his heart... all the dead people... appear vividly in his mind.]

"Do you know how many people have died because of you?"

"How many people have been killed! How many... how many lives have I abandoned!"

Even knowing the machine-type girl before him could easily kill him, Riku could no longer maintain his mind-locked state; tears of sorrow streamed down his face... tears mingled with the memory of countless sacrifices.

Leave slip; person is accompanying family member at the hospital.

I'm sorry, brothers and family. My family member's illness has been overwhelming me lately. I haven't slept much for three days. I'm feeling terrible and in so much pain. I wanted to earn some money to make my family feel better, but now all I can do is go and be with them.

Once the condition stabilizes

This book will not be delayed; famous scenes such as Lelouch, Gurren Lagann, etc., will be added.

Updates may be a bit unstable, please be understanding.

Chapter 73 Rick wanted to hold back

"The conclusion is... I don't want to go back." Everyone stood up! At that moment, a blush appeared on Shubi's face, like that of a human girl, her sapphire-like eyes sparkling with captivating light, and her small lips uttered the startling news, "It seems... it seems..."

"It seems so?" Riku paused, noticing the blush on Shubi's face. Do Mechs blush?

"I can't be sure why, but it's true..." Shubi's voice grew increasingly emotional. Her beautiful, sapphire-like eyes, paired with her round face, made her incredibly cute as she said adorably, "So you mean it seems like it?"

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Unlocking of the Heart, Shubi's Healing

"Interesting. As expected of a high-performance mechanical life form, it's far superior to those aliens who came to Earth to die before." In the Marvel universe, Tony Stark clicked his tongue upon hearing Schwie mention rest, a slightly surprised expression on his face.

However, he wasn't sure whether he could completely imitate it or only simulate 5% to 6% of the opponent's power. If it were a perfect copy... that would be too abnormal.

If the defensive capabilities of the Machine Gundam could reach the strength of Uru, the toughest metal in the universe...

Then you can walk sideways, no matter what kind of life you encounter.

Seventy-five, a game that stakes on the fate of humanity, has begun!

"Hahahaha! This is youth! At this moment, Riku is beginning to shine with the light of his youth!" Watching the scene in the video, Might Guy from the Naruto world had an extremely excited expression on his face, and he laughed loudly with his hands on his hips.

He fully supports Rick's idea!

This is what a man should be thinking about now. Don't be afraid, don't back down, forge ahead bravely, young man!

Although the combat power displayed by those machine races, forest elves, dragon elves, skywing races, and goblins was terrifying, it seemed that humans had absolutely no chance of participating, after all, they were simply too weak.

But miracles are bound to happen.

Chapter 76 Hughie, would you like to marry me and have babies?

[“…” In the video, after a full ten minutes, Rick opened his eyes and found that none of the people he had chosen had left—not a single one had left!!]

Everyone wore expressions of utter exasperation, as if asking Rick, "How long are you going to keep your eyes closed?! Hey! You brat!"

Rick scratched his head, looking at the adorable people in front of him, and was overwhelmed with emotion. He smiled wryly and said, "To be honest... I thought you guys would be smarter..."

"Hey! Don't misunderstand us from the start!" a middle-aged man said with a wry smile, somewhat dissatisfied with Rick's reaction.

"Richard, do you really think... there are still intelligent people in this world?" Ale asked Rick with a smile, leaning on the stone table.

"Is there anything crazier in this world than the world we live in now?" a bearded man laughed heartily.

"Intelligent people choose to die...the even wiser people choose not to be born..."

A handsome ghost approached and smiled slowly at Rick.

All the remaining ghosts stood up and walked towards Rick, crowding around him and laughing loudly, "Everyone here... Rick! Weren't you the one who personally selected them?"

A middle-aged man with a buzz cut scanned his companions and close friends with an intensely enthusiastic gaze, and teased, "In that case! Isn't this just choosing a group of idiots as representatives?"

"Hahahaha—!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha—!"

"That's well said!" Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, as if the task they were facing was an extremely easy one, without the slightest difficulty. No one showed any fear, only boundless excitement.

I'm incredibly excited and looking forward to this game, and I'm absolutely thrilled about the unknown ending!

Everyone surrounded Rick, putting their hands on his shoulders, their faces beaming with joy, happiness, and laughter.

This reflects their complete trust in Rick; they believe that Rick's decisions will be flawless, given how things have always been done over the years.

Shape moon world.

"Haha ...

"Haha ...

"These people are truly worthy of being called heroes! It's been so long since I've seen people with such smiles. Unlike the monstrous cultivators of this world, these are the ones who can be called human. They won't run away, they won't give up, they will only forge ahead and pull those foolish gods down from their thrones." In the Holy Church, Gilgamesh, sitting on a long chair, watched the scene in the video and felt that he hadn't been this happy in a long time.

How long has it been since he felt his heart surge with excitement?

This felt different from the previous battle with Iskandar the Conqueror; it was a feeling of looking at... looking at a microcosm of myself.

How is what these people are doing different from what I used to do?

Could it be that Tiamat, the goddess who messed up, is not as powerful as the creators of these winged races, gods, and goblins?

Gilgamesh realized that each of these people was himself, and each of them was undertaking an incredible challenge.

"Lord Thor! Aren't these humans afraid? Not a single one of them has left... It's so strange, such a strange feeling. Don't they know how powerful the gods are?" In the world of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Kanna in the Kobayashi family watched the video with great curiosity.

Those people laughing heartily seemed completely indifferent to their impending death.

Connor was a little confused. Why was this happening? Wasn't death a terrible thing?

"...I...I don't know either. If we want to win, isn't sacrifice the most basic thing? When we, the Chaos Force, fought against the gods and the Harmonizing Force, didn't we sacrifice countless comrades?!" Thor rested his chin on his hands, his orange-yellow eyes revealing confusion, and his tail swayed slowly behind him.

She had never seen a human like this before.

She hated all humans except Kobayashi, except for that little girl who wasn't afraid of her... Weren't all the other humans hopeless?

Those humans who offered sacrifices to the dragons who were trying to reconcile the forces were filled with despair. Why were these humans so happy, as if they were celebrating some kind of event?

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh! You damned bastards! You've killed so many humans! I'm so angry! I'm going to kill you all!"

Seeing those who had been wiped out by the aftershocks of the attacks from the goblin and dragon spirits, Elma felt an overwhelming rage and quickened her pace of eating.

She decisively channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, devouring dozens of bowls of beef rice.

She would never allow anyone to harm these humans who can make delicious food!

Demon Slayer World.

Seeing the "ghosts" who remained, laughing and joking, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently and said with emotion, "...These people are just like us. In order to prevent those who come after us from experiencing the pain we went through, they will never retreat, they will never run away!"

“Yes, let us offer our blessings to these ‘ghosts,’ Amitabha.” Upon seeing this scene, Himejima Gyomei instinctively clasped his hands together and silently prayed for them in his heart.

"Rick and Shubi...so cool!!! Ohhhhhh! Charge forward, charge forward!!" Inosuke excitedly waved his Nichirin Blade, wanting to go inside.

Fight alongside these people and show them what Inosuke is all about.

"Shubi-chan... I just hope Shubi-chan and Chronie-chan are alright!!"

Zenitsu Gasai bit his clothes, his eyes never leaving Shubi's face for a second.

Looking at Hugh's adorable little face, he felt so happy!

"Humans are foolish...but it is precisely because of their foolishness that they have honed the wisdom to avoid being killed, the wisdom to survive."

Everyone was celebrating joyfully, discussing their plans. Looking at their faces and hearing their voices, Shubi felt a stirring within her, a longing to join in and laugh along with them.

A moment later, as the crowd moved, Shubi coincidentally bumped into Riku, grabbing his clothes with both hands. Their eyes met, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"In this world where there is no value in survival, I still managed to live..."

"What are those who stake their entire minds, wisdom, and skills on this if not noble fools and respectable weaklings?"

Rick's gentle gaze swept across the faces of these "ghosts," watching them studying the world map, already contemplating their next plan, ready for a crazy game with him. A surge of happiness welled up inside him. "So reliable! My companions..."
