At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

Children should not delve into this distorted view of love. Even if they grow up, they must not understand it! )

So the problem of sea-dwelling species and vampire species is finally over?

Just when people first thought so——

Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed that the perspective in front of them had changed.

Kingdom of Elkia, capital - late at night.

Because Arcande has also merged into the Elkia Federation this time,

That was a pioneering, astonishing feat—! !

Blank once again accomplished an incredible feat!

But at the same time——

Stephanie also has a lot more work to do.

Not to mention there is the Flügel city Abant Heim that is already inclined to join.

Just now, after winning another game, the vast ocean territory and resource distribution that Sora and others obtained from Arcande...the related procedures are enough to keep Stephen busy.

Even if I stay awake for a while, it is difficult to deal with the political affairs piled up like a hill.

Everyone could see the visible fatigue on Stephen's face.

However, the corners of her mouth opened into a smile——

Um? Laughing?

Seeing that appearance, everyone's expressions suddenly became a little weird——

Can you still laugh at this? What's going on.

...couldn’t it be that Sora’s hands-off shopkeeper has completely ruined it?

For a moment, people looked at Stephen with some pity.

Poor child——!

However, this time people really misunderstood Stephen's heart.

It wasn't until people heard Stephen's voice that they understood why she showed such a heartfelt smile despite her exhaustion.

……——

In accordance with the declaration, Sora successfully incorporated the three races in one fell swoop.

In this way, the four races were suppressed without shedding blood without losing any chess pieces or causing any damage - no, even based on the interests of the other side.

This fact revived the memory in Stephen's mind.

On the day Sora and the others surrendered to the Eastern Alliance—the miko—

She once had an idea that was too absurd,

Although she had expelled that idea for a time, she actually felt that the idea began to have a flavor of reality.

"...[Ten Covenants] Article 10, let's all play together in peace..."

Stephen's lips widened in a smile - could such a thing really be done?

Can it be done?

Everyone was slightly startled when they saw this.

When I heard the tenth article again, it seemed that it was not important at all. There was no binding covenant, and my mood became extremely different.

Such beautiful words should never appear in reality.

When I heard the Ten Covenants for the first time——

How many people think that the tenth covenant is completely useless and should not be taken seriously?

It seems like—we (we) didn’t take it to heart at first!

It suddenly occurred to people.

Like the orcs and sea-dwelling species before them, they fight for resources for their own race at all costs——

You can even sacrifice the lives of your companions. This should be the real, common sense and cruel side of the world.

But now it has been changed by the blank space.

In the past, the [Sixteen Races] who fought against each other and destroyed the planet until no trace of their original shape was left, either killed or killed no one.

Leading [Sixteen Races] to challenge the One God, this kind of thing is really——

Ah~...Yes, I did it.

People were slightly startled——

Then he finally confirmed this matter with some sigh in his heart.

When I think about it now, the scene when Blank first came into this world still seems like it was the other day.

And that idea that seems like a fantasy - the idea of ​​collecting chess pieces from all races and playing a game with the only god,

There is actually a chance and a dawn of realization!

Incredible, too incredible——!

Even the gods in heaven dare not say they can accomplish great things,

But it was achieved step by step by small, mysterious humans.

Needless to say what that means.

Even everything exercised by blank wisdom must be based on the utilization of the [Ten Covenants].

But the competition of wisdom still made people recognize their power.

Although it cannot directly destroy the planet or destroy the surface - it is still shocking power.

"...? So." Suddenly, Stephen remembered something.

Her eyes looked toward the horizon.

Collect all the racial chess pieces to challenge the only god.

And correspondingly——

Even in the dark night, the giant Atlantic chess piece towers into the clouds as if it blocks the moonlight.

——If that is the chess piece held by the only god...

So will the chess pieces of each race also have their own roles?

"What role do each race play in the chess pieces?" People couldn't help but mutter again.

They hadn't thought about that kind of thing.

But if you think about it carefully, what do the human chess pieces you have seen look like? !

"...King..." Stephanie murmured.

That answer suddenly stunned everyone.

‘Isn’t it possible? ’ Subconsciously, that thought flashed through my mind.

Can……

Human - the chess piece of the human species, represents the [King]? ! Uh--like, definitely, probably, yes? !

People tried their best to recall the appearance of the chess piece in their impressions.

In the end——he showed a somewhat disbelieving expression, and there was no doubt that he was indeed the king’s chess piece.

ha? But then... how is that possible!

Are you kidding me? The human race represents the [King]? !

Such weak human beings were squeezed out and suppressed in Disbod and almost lost all their living space, leaving only the human species in the royal city...

Before the blank came, he was the weakest one.

But he holds such a profound and important chess piece on the chessboard.

Wait - 'the weakest'...! !

Hermitos seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The king, that is the weakest piece in chess.

If he remembered correctly, this was how Blank described how chess was played when he and Kurami were competing for the throne.

However--

Although it is the weakest, it is also the most important chess piece.

Even though the king’s characteristics are not as good as those of a [soldier], this is common sense——

But as long as you capture the opponent's king, the game will be over.

Chapter 1,304 The painted woman insists on being a man——! The cruel truth of the world!

"The weakest chess piece is the most important, controlling all the other chess pieces? This is really..."

Hermitus couldn't say the remaining word 'absurd'.

No, it’s not so much absurd——

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly thought of all the blank things.

If we want to talk about absurdity, there is nothing more absurd than [reality]!

Because that absurd conjecture is now gradually becoming a reality!

The God of Alchemy was shocked - all of a sudden, he seemed to have seen the day when the plenipotentiary agents of many races followed Blank and jointly challenged the only God.

‘Will that day really come? ’

No, this is really...

He no longer dared to continue fantasizing.

The division of chess pieces is probably the right exercised by the only god Tetu.

Doesn't this mean that the great being has determined (believed) from the beginning that the people who can lead many races to come to Him will be humans? !

Thinking of this - Hermitus's heart became slightly hot,

If the guess is correct, nothing can cheer him up more than this.

Because he has always believed that... human beings have the miracles and powerful possibilities that he is pursuing!

…

Meanwhile – on the other side.

In the courtyard of the royal city of Elkia.

In the small space that was set up according to the requirements of the two brothers and sisters, countless games and books were cluttered, and the blank space sleeping quietly received a quiet visit.

The figure approached silently.

but--

"-Hey, Bram, what's wrong at this time?"

"...Hinders...sleep..."

The voice sounded like he was suppressing a smile. Sora and Shiro, who no longer pretended to be asleep, stared into the void.

"...Ah, ah haha, yes, I'm sorry...this and that..."

How do ordinary humans see through the secret magic of vampires?

Bram released the magic and appeared, with a regretful smile on his face, and bowed his head to apologize to the two——

But Sora's next words made not only everyone stunned, but also Bram's smile froze.

"Are you here to tell us your true identity?"

Originally, people had not yet fully awakened from the illusion that Blank would lead all races to challenge the only God.

Even in a half-conscious state,
