The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 597 Jibril, Your Sins Are Heinous
Having once again fooled the genius of the forest elves, Zun Zun was quite pleased—not because of intellectual superiority, but because of information and manipulation.

That's right, all Zun Zun did was lay out the stakes in front of her, forcing her to follow her own ideas. And the other party knew she might be being manipulated, but she had no choice but to do so.

The goblin race possesses superweapons capable of destroying the continent. If left unchecked, the primary target would be the forest elves. However, if left unchecked, it would distract the forest elves and allow other races to take advantage of the situation.

This kind of unsolvable, overt strategy is what makes it so captivating.

Return to the secret base.

"...Really? That Void Blessing can actually carry a machine?" Rick took out the parchment he had previously replicated in the old city of the Forest Elves. "As expected, its operation is just as we thought."

"I have to say, they are worthy opponents. Although the goblin's marrow burst has a different structure, the final effect is almost the same."

It's hard not to suspect that the two are rivals who love and hate each other, or that they both thought of using enough power to break through the planet and make the Star Cup appear.

In that case, only that method could achieve the desired result, and it's not hard to understand why the two people would make the same choice.

However, these things have nothing to do with the human race.

Their purpose in making these arrangements was to induce the enemy to withdraw from the human survival zone.

This Star Wars can be said to have only three parties involved.

Goblin, Forest Elf, and Skywing.

Since both sides have now shifted their battlefields, the Skywing race has no choice but to follow suit, even if they don't want to.

As for the rest...

Races caught up in the battle have no choice but to follow in the footsteps of the three major races.

"In addition, I have also completed the analysis of the Void Zero Blessing. To be honest, although its power is quite strong, it is still not as good as my authority—after my skill evolution and with the blessing of the second magic source, its power is already quite considerable."

"what do you mean……"

“That’s right, the [God Strike] of the Skywing race’s chief god Altshu is the strongest. The difference between the two is too great. To be honest, I suspect they are not even on the same level.”

"Well."

Rick fell into deep thought.

First of all, it is foreseeable that the gap between the two is too large, after all, the gap between the divine species and the ordinary species is too large, not to mention that it is the strongest among the divine species.

It should be noted that even a special individual (Jibriel)'s divine strike could easily destroy the old city of the forest elves, let alone her creator.

……Wait a moment.

If I remember correctly, Sink Barbaren and Ronnie Drauunir were also present when the special individual unleashed the Divine Strike, since the two of them were the ones who started the great battle.

Considering the characteristics of Divine Strike, and then looking at the characteristics of [Marrow Burst] and [Void Zero Blessing]...aren't they surprisingly similar!?
"That is to say——"

"It's all because of that special individual of the Skywing race that inspired those two!" x2
Zun Zun and Rick spoke at the same time.

While the Forest Elves and Goblins who instigated the war were indeed despicable, the Skywing special individuals who inspired them were equally inhuman!

"That rascal……!"

Rick clenched his fist as well.

"I don't understand." Shubi placed her small hand on his large hand, her face showing obvious confusion. "Rick... shouldn't have any enmity with the Flying Race... why... are you so angry...?"

“I’m telling you, Hughie.”

It was Zun Zun who answered her question.

"As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, so plans hate changes the most. Especially when the other party is a special individual of the Skywing race."

"Even humans know that guy's name."

Rick sighed.

It wasn't that he wanted to know, but rather that the other party's battle record was simply too intriguing—of the 2% of the intelligence he had gathered, there was information about special individuals of the Skywing race, and it was said that the Forest Elf race seemed to have magic specifically for detecting the other party's whereabouts.

As expected of a forest elf with a strong desire for revenge... No, maybe they just can't get revenge and choose to avoid the other party.

"Let's leave her for now; we have other things to do."

Rick ended the conversation.

Then they moved on to the next step.

As they secretly operated, the forest elves, as expected, won over the fairy elves, and the number of contracts they formed with the dragon elves, who could fight against the goblin fleet, also increased. The forest elf alliance, which regarded the goblins as a common hypothetical enemy, was rock solid.

the other side.

Besides the Giants, with whom they had a good relationship, the Goblin race also won over many Fantasy races. Because of the Void Zero's blessing, the Fantasy races had no choice but to join them in order to protect themselves from being hunted, and thus the Goblin Alliance was born.

But we must not forget that there is still the strongest force.

That is the Altshu faction, which possesses the Skywing race, on the adjacent continent.

Two allies, each possessing deadly weapons known to the other, have no choice but to temporarily lay down their arms, shake hands, and form an alliance in the face of their greatest threat.

Even the strongest god could not easily intervene against the two allied forces, and the battle thus became a stalemate.

The demons hoped to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

The orcs, on the other hand, achieved a breakthrough in their cultivation and migrated to the western islands.

The remaining races also sensed the impending storm, and either formed alliances or retreated to hide somewhere and wait for the war to end.

Thus, the continent beneath our feet became comically isolated, with only humans guarding it.

“I’m telling you, Your Excellency.”

"I was playing chess with Hugh, and you suddenly interrupted me, are you trying to distract me?... That being said, is there something you need?"

"Have you ever won a game of chess against Hugh? Even if it disrupts things, it doesn't matter, right?"

"It's not over yet, who knows what the result will be?"

"Stop being stubborn." The three of them were still in the secret base that day.

Now that the battle lines have shifted and the entire continent is spared from the ravages of war, humanity has, to some extent, enjoyed a temporary period of peace.

Other races, also lured by the numerous ghosts, moved to other places.

However, unlike chess pieces on a board, races cannot move instantly, which is why they have a few days of leisure time.

Originally, Zun Zun planned to leave and give them some space to be intimate, but Riku just doesn't understand romance, or perhaps Shiro, being a machine race, doesn't have those kinds of thoughts.

In short, the three of them played chess together.

At this moment, the players are Zun Zun and Hugh Bi.

“I say, Venerable…” Rick looked at the black and gray storm gradually rising outside and suddenly asked, “Can you defeat the main god of the Skywing race, Altshu?”

Zun Zun's hand, which was about to place a chess piece, suddenly paused, and then he put it down again.

"Probably."

"Is it okay, hello!?"

"Why are you still so surprised now? But it's possible. Even if we defeat them, we probably won't be able to leave. After all, those created Skywing races aren't just sitting around doing nothing."

Turning to look at Rick, who was completely unharmed—it might sound strange, but after so much time had passed since the battle, his body should have been covered in wounds, yet he was perfectly fine because of the potion made by Zun Zun.

The same was true for other human species that participated in the induction; their bodies were not damaged.

"I knew Zun Zun was very powerful, but I never expected him to be able to do this... We're just human beings, aren't we?"

"—Don't underestimate humans! ...Do you want me to say that?"

"Will."

As Shubi placed the chess piece representing the Queen in a fatal corner, Zun Zun readily surrendered, then looked at the human leader who seemed somewhat bewildered.

"Speaking of which, Rick, have you ever played Animal Chess?"

"what is that?"

"It's a rather interesting chess game..."

After the rules are explained.

"Therefore, even the weakest mouse can eat the strongest elephant in one bite, even if it can only eat the elephant."

You mean the rules of the game, right?

Rick still doesn't seem to accept it.

Zun Zun looked at him with suspicion and said strangely, "It's just a game. Rick, you clearly treat reality like a game too, how can you say something like that?"

"But……!"

"You're clearly a human, yet you manage to outmaneuver those high and mighty forest elves, goblins, and even winged creatures. In my opinion, Rick, you're even more impressive."

Even so, he still seemed unable to accept it.

"That--"

Seeing his expression, Zun Zun said earnestly, "Then let's set the rules after the great war—even the weakest human race can defeat the divine race by relying on their own strength (intelligence), how about that?"

"Turning the world into a game... Great! Let's do it!"

Rick said this with great enthusiasm.

Even as a child, he believed that the world was simply a world of victory and defeat. However, when his home was destroyed and a racial war broke out, all his ideas were swept away.

But now that he has such an opportunity again, how can he not seize it firmly!?

"That means...Shubi will have a 300-game winning streak..."

"Well!"

Upon hearing this, Zun Zun's expression froze, and then he awkwardly spoke to Rick.

“I told Rick, we must carefully consider the rules.”

"I agree. At least when it comes to chess, I can't beat Schbie at all."

Rick readily agreed.

The two human species were utterly devastated by the superior computational capabilities of the intelligent machines.

Hugh looked at them in confusion, seemingly feeling that she had won too much, and lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.

"I'm sorry... I'll be more careful next time..."

"Why are you apologizing? Shubi, this isn't your fault."

"That's right, that's right. Since it's a game, we have to give it our all! After all, that's what it means to truly respect the game."

Unfortunately.

Both Rick and Zun Zun are people who become stronger with each setback.

“Oh, right!” Zun Zun snapped his fingers. “Consider this a reward for the victor—Shubi. I allow you to call my name when you’re in danger, and I’ll run to save you immediately! That’s my promise.”

"Call for help...? I don't understand. Why would Shubi be in danger? With Riku's involvement... the probability is zero..."

"Haha, just in case, just in case."

No one knows what the future holds.

That's right.

Plans can never keep up with changes, let alone... that special individual of the Skywing species that is always out of control.
