I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Ignoring Ke Long, who raised his head from Cheng Rang's arms and opened his eyes wide, Rick fiddled with the [Black King] chess pieces between his fingers.

"Kelong, just now Cheng said where the divine species was born."

"—Planet....right?"

"Yes, the Elf Corridor, the origin of all things, and the flow of all phenomena are also born from this planet."

As if to supplement Rick's words, Hubie continued: "...created objects...races...the essence of the gods are all created through the Elf Corridor."

"That is to say."

Rick sighed and recalled the day he came up with this method, the day he listened to Hubie's explanation in the forest elf capital.

After hearing about the culprit of the war among the gods and the [Star Cup] from Hubi, the first thing that came to mind was.

It's so natural, why didn't anyone notice it?

Rick made a very self-evident conclusion that even Hubie was surprised by.

"If you think about it according to general logic, it should be more powerful than the all-god species of this planet - the planet itself."

Seeing Ke Long's surprised expression, Rick raised his lips: "So..."

"As long as the game board is destroyed - the [Star Cup] will appear."

Rick placed the black king in the center of the game board and clearly stated the victory conditions for these [ghosts], which was the last move.

Ignoring Ke Long, who was stunned, and Cheng Rang, who smiled bitterly every time he heard the plan, Rick and Hubby pointed to the floor and said one by one: "As long as it penetrates the core of this planet, the source of the Elf Corridor will be released. The power will exceed the power of all gods."

"...Appearance is, ten to the power of minus forty-six seconds...destruction, power is released, immediately after appearing..."

"Get the [Star Cup] immediately and rebuild the planet."

Rick and Hubie said in unison: "...CheckMate!"

"But, but, where does the power that penetrates the planet come from-"

Ke Long finally recovered from his dazed state. After saying this, he noticed the power distribution map hanging on the wall in his field of vision.

No way...No way, no way, no way? !

"Are you going to let them take matters into their own hands?! It's not about making the war situation stalemate - it's your goal to have all forces collide in an all-out way!?"

Kelon yelled in disbelief, but Rick seemed to smile happily.

"The Artesho camp unites with all the other races. They will not let the war situation become stalemate."

"What?"

Mutually assured destruction, as long as one party takes action, it will cause a stalemate caused by the destruction of both parties.

With that kind of balance, only the option of not taking action will be effective.

"The goal is the Star Cup. They are killing each other and will definitely start a war in the near future."

——It will be a battle of unprecedented scale in the eternal war.

It means a decisive battle.

That kind of imagination made Kelon look pale, but Rick said: "But that kind of firepower - it won't be directed at anyone."

Ke Long had pursed his lips and was speechless.

"On the stage we prepared for the decisive battle, there is a [traffic control] set up by Hubie and I - a directional bending device that uses force to direct all the force directly downwards - yes, it is like the lens of a telescope."

The ghosts risked everything except their lives to collect information on the weapons used there.

After digitizing everything and calculating it, according to Hubby, the number of [traffic controls] required to gather strength is thirty-two.

"They used their own power to penetrate the planet and destroy the Elf Corridor, and the [Star Cup] that appeared was taken away by us. This is victory."

"Just because no one will die, I want to ask those gods after it's over..."

Rick showed the most sarcastic smile and said with a smile that even looked a little ferocious:

"Hey, how are you feeling now? - In this case..."

Chapter 66 Torch

Truly, the eternal war is truly coming to an end.

Through Rick and Hubby - the proud younger brother and sister, and the people he cares about...Cheng.

Just less than two hundred people, and not killing anyone, for this purpose, just to create such a situation.

Regarding the gods and their creations, even if you even want to kill them in your heart, no, it should be said that that is normal.

Rick was smiling unruly. Kelon's shoulders couldn't help but tremble when she saw his appearance.

Ending the war without killing anyone——just for that kind of thing, I would not hesitate to let myself become like this.

"So, Kelon, give me a little more time. Then, humans will leave it to you..."

However, only Cheng Rang and Hubi, who treat Rick every time, know this.

The guy with such a confident smile was having a hard time breathing.

——————————

With a worried and helpless expression, Ke Long disappeared on his horse into the cool night of the evening.

After watching her leave, Cheng Rang closed the wooden board at the entrance, pressed it with rocks, and returned to Rick.

Hubie was holding his hand tightly, snuggling in Rick's arms with his eyes closed.

Cheng Rang spoke slowly: "Is this really good?"

"It would be nice to make her feel at ease a little bit." Rick's scornful aura just now has completely disappeared from his body, and he is just like an overworked patient, feebly squeezing out sentences from his throat.

It is true that the healing spell can restore Rick's body with a huge amount of vitality, but the nerves tortured by pain cannot be repaired, nor can the will worn away by enduring the pain.

Due to the fact that the physique is only a human being, the healing technique cannot restore the parts of his body that Rick has ruined so much like turning back time.

Unlike Leticia's healing light, the area that is completely corroded and ulcerated by black ash will lose the "part" that no longer belongs to Rick's body, even if it is instantly healed by the healing spell.

Even though the healing spell released by Cheng Rang has a healing capacity of up to 35 million, the maximum value that can be effective on Rick is only 20 points.

And with the actions in the past six months, it has become less and less.

Target: Rick Dora

Target characteristics: None

Target HP: 12

"..." Cheng Rang looked at Rick with unbearable eyes.

When humans are healthy, they generally have an upper limit of about 20 points of blood volume, but now Rick only has more than half of it left, like a candle in the wind, shattering at the touch of a touch.

.......

Time has passed through the night and it is morning.

"[Apocryphal Healing Technique]" Hubi placed his hands on Rick's chest and the green light gradually dissipated.

She held down Rick who was trying to get up on the bed: "...Rick...you can't get up yet..."

"...No, we have to go and configure the [traffic control] right away..."

Rick lay in bed struggling in pain while Hubie looked after him.

Although he tried to show off his strength in front of Ke Long, his actual state was just like Ke Long's accusation.

Even though the contamination and burns caused by just applying the spiritual remains on the skin would have caused considerable sequelae, what's more, relying on Cheng Rang's idea that he could heal himself instantly, Rick acted even more aggressively, even destroying one of his feet. So buried.

Rick, who had even absorbed his internal organs into the spiritual corpse, had lost at least 40% of his lung function at this time, his stomach was completely damaged, and he could not get enough nutrition even if he ate.

With a human body, it is natural that he cannot get up. Rather, it is abnormal that he can still get up in the first place.

"...No problem, Rick's prediction is correct, he won't start attacking immediately..."

"But."

"It'll be okay if you take a little rest... As for Rick, one day is enough... Please..."

——My wife still hasn’t changed. She always makes difficult and unreasonable requests as if it’s nothing.

Rick smiled bitterly and agreed: "Okay, then we will configure it tomorrow and focus on recuperation today."

".....Um."

"Hubby, I'm sorry, I'm holding you back..."

"As long as you lie down today, you can't hold me back. Do you treat me as someone who doesn't exist?"

Rick turned his head with difficulty to look at Cheng Rang, who was approaching, and laughed silly.

"Look at you like this... You've almost made yourself stupid. If you don't take a break, you might make a mistake in even the simplest chess game!" Cheng Rang squatted beside the bed and stared into Rick's eyes.

——Although his physical condition is deteriorating, his once dull, dead-sea black eyes are now shining brighter than ever.

Because I see hope, I don’t want to give up no matter what.

That's wanting to step out towards the light... No.

It is the soul that wants to burn itself out and become a torch in the darkness of despair - it is the human soul that although it has been "losing", it believes that it will definitely win this time.

"Then one more thing, Hubby. I will sleep today and try to recover - can you please hold my hand the whole time?"

That was to be able to endure the pain, Hubi already knew this.

"...Well, I will always hold you, so you can rest peacefully...Rick."

"Hubby."

Probably still unable to sleep, Rick called Hubie.

"....Um."

"Cheng." He called again.

"I am here."

"...Thank you. Without Hubi, without you here, I wouldn't be able to do this."

"It's not over yet."

"Yes, but even if we are at this point, we still can't get there without the support of the two of you."

Cheng Rang slowly shook his head and said, "It's the three of us."

"Heh..." Rick chuckled upon seeing this and closed his eyes, "But now is the time for couples to spend time together."

"I understand, I understand, you two go on, I've eaten all the dog food, and you won't let me go." Cheng Rang waved his hands and stood up to leave. Before he left, Rick could still vaguely hear: "Lie down." It's amazing how you can get tired of me in bed... Such complaints.

Perhaps he started to doze off, but Rick's breathing gradually calmed down and he murmured: "Thank you for taking care of me, and..."

"I really love you, Hubie...from now on, too..."

The bottom pressure in the broken body

How much pain is suppressing that is tormenting Rick? Even so, Rick could fall asleep peacefully just by being held by Hubie's hand.

Hubie thought to himself: Hubie——[Likes] Rick.

But for the emotion of "love", she still couldn't fully understand it as she had just given birth to her heart.

Not being able to respond to Rick's words made her feel very anxious.

But even she understood that what she should do was not to let Rick die.

As an analytical machine type, Hubie can still move for 891 years. Rick made a promise with himself that he would die after him.

So Rick has to live for another eight hundred and ninety-one years. As long as he gets the [Star Cup], it will become a simple fact.

.......so.

"...I'm sorry...Rick, I'll be right back..."

Let go of his hand for the moment.
