At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

…Everyone in the world witnessed that scene.

First, the light enveloped the world.

The light spreading from the far side dyed the red sky and blue earth white, taking away the realm of heaven and earth.

As soon as the silently spreading light stopped - the world suddenly lost its color.

Looking at the sky and the earth, everyone was confused, and they didn't realize it until it was too late.

The ash flying in the sky stayed in the air, the flames of war forgot to sway, and everything stopped.

——Even time.

All cease except those who possess life.

Following the last description in the text, everyone saw the one hundred and seventy-seven [Ghosts], the myriad phenomena, and the process of the world being re-created.

I also saw——

The "sun" hung high in the sky for a long time.

When you close your eyelids, you can seem to feel the moving sunshine in the book that is so dazzling that it hurts your eyes.

"... As expected - my proud brother... and sister... sister..." Ke'er murmured softly at the end while standing in that new world.

Riku, Shubi, everyone——

Proud of—brother and sister—

Those two really - really - brought the forever war to an end.

"...Ah-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowww...", oh, oh, oh!" Sure enough, I still can't do it... I...!

"Riku, Hubie, sister still can't agree with this result!"

Because——you two have broken the agreement with your sister! !

"I already said I don't want to lose my family anymore... Why, why—!"

This unreasonable treatment made Ke'er cry and fall to the ground, calling the names of his younger siblings.

Holding a blue gem engraved with the names of three people in her hand... tears kept falling, and she thought to herself:

——Why does it have to be those two people?

——Can’t you do it yourself? Why can't I do anything?

It turns out that this is the end of the long war.

The days of fearing death and lamenting in despair are over.

In contrast, Ke'er lost - more important than anyone else - his younger brother, and his younger brother's beloved sister.

Like this - what do I have left -?

Then Cole remembered Riku's last conversation.

Riku asked her to move the white castle on the chessboard to the [e-6] position.

"...that kind of thing - you do it yourself -"

"...God, if you are not my fantasy, but really exist...can you please remember that there was once a hopeless idiot who worked hard to make war disappear through games?"

...! !

"[Was there ever a hopeless idiot who worked hard to make war disappear with games?]" People murmured such words in silence, and there was a strong sense of pride hidden under the sadness in their eyes.

Humans—what a race with infinite possibilities!

At this moment - both humans and other races who are reading are thinking so.

Sigh for it and admire it.

It was an epic that was practiced with the body and told them personally what human will is and what a miracle is!

"The [next] and [future] of humanity... are all left to you. If you are my sister, I can trust you."

Finally, people saw Cole’s words recalling Riku’s departure.

I also saw the passing of the flame of hope for mankind——

Although Riku died, they seemed to see Riku's spirit transmitted to Cole.

Is this human? ——Uwaaaah!

Love it, love it! ——Yuzuha, who originally had a great affection for humans because of Homura and the others, was now crying profusely.

After Ke'er in the book finished reminiscing.

——With tears streaming down her face, she moved to the table like a crawler.

Then - following Riku's [last words], Ke'er placed the chess pieces on the table and said:

"...Checkmate...right, Riku..."

Countless people (elves) couldn't help but read in a deep voice when they saw this:

"...Checkmate...!"

Chapter 424 Couple: We lost! Brother and sister: Leave it to us!

"Riku, Hubie...you two are really amazing...do you understand?"

Although the goal was achieved, [the game] was lost... conservatively speaking, it was only a draw.

"But my sister still thinks... you two are incredibly powerful."

——Challenge the gods and the world.

Not a trace was noticed.

Even leaving no trace at all.

The war lasted forever—but it ended in just two years.

If it is not left in memory and records, it cannot even become a legend.

Weaving together myths that will never be told...just for the people [who follow].

Is that defeat? Ke'er didn't think so anyway.

If this is not a great deed, this is not a great victory, then what is it?

——Great cause, great victory!

It's over, the war is finally over.

Seeing everyone here——

Everyone who claimed to know the reason why the myth was not told and was left deep in history clenched their fists tightly.

Although it was limited to the Royal Capital, at this time, the hearts and minds of human beings were more closely connected than ever before.

They felt it, and from the epic, they felt the will conveyed by Riku and the others, and the path forward left to everyone.

perhaps--

Humans really don't need to rely on any gods, and they can live better than any other race.

The inherent three views, the thought that one should revere and serve the gods, were pried into the heart.

That layer of defense is not as deep as imagined——

With that trace of infinite possibility, it is quietly opened! Everyone was about to continue turning the pages, but found that the number of pages had reached the end - except for the last page, the epic content was completely gone.

A familiar icon similar to the words "Epic Finale" appeared in front of everyone.

"No, no more...?!" People said in a moment of depression and disbelief.

Then their eyes gradually lost color, ah...really no more? No more...there is...? !

……——

Suddenly, wait—what’s the remaining page? Now that it’s the finale.

Like people who discovered something big...

After reacting, they immediately looked to the last half page.

An extra description similar to the prologue of another epic poem came into their eyes.

[But it’s strange... why are you so unwilling! 】

After the finale, such words appeared in the article.

Then people saw Ke'er again...

……grass! It turns out there is more behind it!

The surprise came so unexpectedly, so unexpectedly.

When they saw...Ke'er, who had cheered up and decided not to cry anymore, saw her hiding her face, leaning against the wall, and walked out of the room.

--……then.

【——Because the game is not over yet. 】

It was so sudden that everyone was startled. As if to respond to Ke'er's last words, a voice appeared.

After Ke'er left, in the empty room, at some point - a young man wearing a big hat with a brim on his head was standing there.

Next to him, there is a star-shaped dodecahedron floating in the sky - [Star Cup].

"Star, Star Cup...?! Is... the God of Games?!" Everyone took a deep breath in shock.

Then they saw the boy who was suspected of being the [God of Games] smiled mischievously and walked towards the chess board - gently moving the black queen and putting it down.

Correction:

"There is no checkmate—it's a general...but, in this case..."

"I was forced into a battle with the general... This is the first time. You have to fight with me."

…

...——There is no checkmate...but, long checkmate?

Everyone who had recovered from their shock looked at the annotations and explanations about the generals and generals at the bottom of the book. After understanding what it meant, their expressions suddenly became extremely exciting...

If I had to describe it, I would probably describe it as "ugly" - as if I had been fed a mouthful to fly.

‘——Isn’t it about to die?

Didn’t you finally win with great difficulty? Actually it was just a peace? ’

Although "forcing a peace" is also very surprising, it completely lacks the sense of accomplishment and joy that humans had before when they defeated the God of Games head-on!

Ah...why do we have to be so mean-looking, watching this extra episode?

If I had known it was this, I might as well not have watched it!

Everyone felt extremely depressed for a moment.

As if feeling the depression in everyone’s hearts——

After removing this easter egg.

The next moment, the pen turned... A passage that Riku said before disappearing appeared in the book——

[I want to work with Hubi...definitely...to win].

But Riku and Hubi were already dead... Thinking of this, everyone felt even more uncomfortable.

But those words, Riku's last [wish], still stimulated everyone and planted a thorn in their hearts.

It also buried one regret - the regret of never seeing Riku and Hubi defeat the God of Games again.

Come on! !

On the other side, the God of Games Tetu is thinking about Riku and Hubi, and in this memory he reveals that he is indeed a species of god born from the belief of these two people.

This made everyone excited for a long time.

Special image:

"Not created by anyone, not expected by anyone, not prayed for by anyone. It is the only race that evolves from a beast to standing on two feet by its own will, and even gains intelligence - the nameless race - human beings.”

Only they succeeded in ending this meaningless, ineffective, and boring war.
