The work of the Go master

It's embarrassing to admit, but most of my experience with tokusatsu dramas came from freebies from their store.

77th move! A white, flashing fish leaped onto the chessboard, shattering the hidden scheme of sacrificing pieces in a localized area!

The music play button was forcibly activated!

An "oh shit" expression appeared in Koshikawa Ryuki's eyes, and his hand, which had forcefully taken the punch, was also blasted away!

The beam of energy pierced through the impenetrable shell of the conch and embedded itself into the "conch meat" inside!

The shattered shell scattered and sank into the sea, bearing the marks of scorching.

This punch finally landed squarely on that annoying man's face!

Incredibly exhilarating!

While this man is certainly charming as a villain, it's precisely this kind of person that makes fighting him so enjoyable!

[Curse successfully applied!]

[Reward items have been delivered!]

Ok?

Strange things have appeared again.

Does that mean this also involves dropping props?

this.....

Please, let me land a few more punches!

But in an instant, the pincers swung from the side, slamming into Ke Zhiguang's chest before he could even get into a defensive stance.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Ke Zhiguang's mouth, and the distance between them increased.

Ke Zhiguang glanced down at the chessboard and saw the problem in the upper right corner. It was a sliding tackle on the first line, quite concealed yet quite powerful.

As expected of the boss who stayed until the very last episode, this guy was really hard to fleece.

You must play with the determination to deliver a fatal blow.

And so, the background music interlude began, the anticipation in the lyrics compressed into the bowstring—

Like a boxing match, both sides were panting, and the rain was nourishing their wounds.

Let it all out in one go!

Take a piece, strike! Hammer the bell! The computational power of both sides splashed out like rain, each piece infused with the power to calculate a thousand moves!

Press, break, and strike! The chess pieces seemed oblivious to the pain, crashing their flesh and blood against the steel, turning the rainwater red!

The pieces begin by escaping from the lone dragon at the bottom, and then rapidly spread upwards on the board, like wildly growing branches.

Time accelerated wildly amidst the splashing rain. At this point, discussing the profound calculations and ingenious methods of both sides was meaningless; their battle in this metaphysical world was enough to shock everything!

The sinking of the Ryugu has progressed further! People have noticed the excessively bright spotlights on the top deck of the Ryugu, which are drawing everyone's attention like a stage.

"Hey! Why are there still people who haven't evacuated? Who are they?!"

"That place was originally intended for the third round of the Dragon Throne decisive battle... Now you all understand!"

"Are these two crazy?!"

"Seriously, this is even more intense than a match under a nuclear explosion! This is a real match taking place on a shipwrecked vessel!"

The fan-passing activity has also come to an end.

Saito accepted the folding fan, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he revealed a knowing smile.

"Like I said, this kid always manages to come up with something new."

The fourth to last person to receive the folding fan was Xingcai.

“Please hold it, Father,” Xingcai said earnestly to the general sitting beside her.

Inoue Masakado hesitated as he looked at the folding fan that was being offered to him.

"father!"

This shout finally broke down his last defenses, and he slowly reached out and grasped it.

Next is Fumikami Shizuru, and finally Nishi Chiaki.

"Alright, alright, I'll take it, okay?" He reluctantly accepted the folding fan.

Finally, it was returned to the deer on the island, completing this large loop.

A giant circle framed everyone together.

With the air of a captain, Shizuka stepped onto the bow of the life raft and pointed her folding fan at the top of the Ryugu, at that shimmering, star-like summit!

"Charge!"

The waves carried this sound to its destination!

Ke Zhiguang suddenly realized something, turned his head, and looked at the distant sea.

There, thousands of flashlights were shining.

Before escaping, each passenger was given a small flashlight. At that moment, they all turned on their flashlights and shone them towards the top of the ship, turning it into a sea of ​​light, commonly known as Bright Summit... Pshaw.

This is truly... literally, this year, everyone turned into light.

He also saw Shikama Harushima standing arrogantly in front of the life raft, as if a princess were leading the navy into battle.

Everyone's strength converged here, and Ke Zhiguang clearly received it all.

Some of them were teammates who successfully made it onto the "Historical Witness" list, while others were unrelated passersby.

I give you courage, and you give me light!

"I'm sorry, Tatsumi Koshikawa, I can't wait to reunite with my teammates!"

With a snap, the countdown clock was pressed!

Light energy, fully charged!

His vision reached its highest point above the layers of computing power, overlooking the entire chessboard from the universe.

He finally saw the key to winning this game.

That was a rather grand strategic concept, and only this concept could unlock the path to ultimate victory and defeat this seemingly invincible opponent.

A bright ocean converged, sweeping away the black fog with overwhelming force, and tentacles hidden on the seabed were pulled up in droves!

Gatanjah stared in astonishment at everything around him, looking incredulously at the clearing sky.

The rain outside had stopped at some point, and a tranquil power enveloped the cruise ship as it slowly sank into the water.

The dark clouds moved faster, revealing a clear night sky... Actually, it was almost dawn, and the game of chess had unknowingly lasted for more than five hours.

"What a terrifying yet exciting game! There are so many parts I don't understand. It takes me a long time to figure out how powerful the calculation is..." Bamboo Blade murmured to himself, wishing he could find a chessboard to play with at a time like this.

"Wait! Can you see the specific game, Mr. Tomo?" Narita asked in surprise from the side.

"Can't you see it?"

"I really can't see it! Quick, tell us, how exactly is the game going?"

"Right now, it seems that Ke Zhiguang is plotting to abandon the dragon..."

"Wait! Isn't abandoning a dragon something only Koshikawa Ryuji would do? Are you sure you haven't mistaken the target?"

"It's very clear, it's Ke Zhiguang. His specific strategy is... to abandon one of his own dragons and instead strangle an even bigger one of his opponent's dragons!"

On the chessboard, golden light and the energy of the Purple Extreme clashed!

Within the jagged jaws of the abyss, a lone dragon is bracing against the immense pressure collapsing from all directions!

The abyss tightened further, and the frames of the two eye slots let out a mournful cry!

This is inside Gatanothor's abdominal cavity, where each chess piece guarding this place has become part of its digestive organs and skeleton, with the thick walls of the pieces supporting this enormous form.

Ke Zhiguang patted the dragon's head, dispelling its fear.

"It's okay, go for it!"

Lone Dragon nodded and launched a desperate charge towards the weak point in Gatanothor's abdomen with the force that shattered itself!

130 moves, a ko fight knocked down the second lane! This is the first wave of attack!

132 moves, the second strike is a bite with the shape of sharp claws!

134th move, giving up the last chance to survive by making a ward, throwing out the sharpest claw, pinning it to the second lane's clamp position!

Ke Zhiguang's exquisite skill in sacrificing pieces, like a scalpel, flew from his fingertips, each move like a musical note!

135 moves! All the way down, Gatanothor tightly closed the serrations as he went up!

With a violent contraction of its abdomen, the dragon's eyes closed, and its soul vanished above the chessboard.

Koshikawa Tatsumi's expression twisted into a grimace; he was well aware of his opponent's strategic intentions.

This is a dragon worth fifty points. In most games, swallowing such a dragon basically guarantees victory.

But this game was an exception to that "basic" rule.

The moment the dragon perished, a thick, steel-like wall rolled all the way down, sealing Jaestein at the very bottom. A dragon worth seventy points was thus thrown into the wider heart of the chessboard.

And that is Ke Zhiguang's prey.

Abandoning the dragon is, of course, to kill a more valuable dragon!

Above the vast chessboard, the giant dragon was swimming in this ocean surrounded by cliffs on all sides, the golden light in the ocean dazzling to the extreme.

It's been imprisoned here!

"We can start now!" Harushima Shika shouted from afar, leading a group of teammates.

154 moves! The true colors are revealed!

The piece struck its most vital eye! The dragon let out a mournful cry!

A poisoned dart pierced its eye, and its discolored blood slid down the rainwater on the chessboard.

The second step follows immediately.
