Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

The Ex-Machina girl let the barrier in front of her continue to erode the ruins, and finally covered the two of them.

As the barrier took shape, Rick seemed to be stunned, just watching the incredible scene in front of him.

At this moment Rick understood that this guy didn't understand what he meant at all. At least judging from the situation, it didn't seem like he understood.

Although he thought so, his heart couldn't help but tremble when he looked at the scene in front of him.

For this kind of thing, any ordinary person will feel a sense of physical fear.

Moreover, he didn't know what the Ex-Machina was going to do to him. He couldn't tell whether she was going to kill him because he rejected her.

At this moment, the palm of Rick's hand...instantly began to ripple, creating ripples that could tear apart the dimension!

In this void... it was as if the outline was constructed by countless lights. In the blink of an eye, the armored girl molded it into the shape of a chess piece.

However, just as Rick was thinking this, a transparent white chess piece appeared in the air.

"Chess..."

At this moment, the girl's voice finally reached the boy in front of her.

At the same time, a chess board was projected out in an instant and appeared above the two people's heads.

But Rick seemed to have no reaction and his body shook violently.

However, after seeing that it was chess, a confident smile slowly appeared on his face.

The audience outside the video seemed to understand the behavior of the Ex-Machinas in front of them and called it exciting.

Having been accustomed to such violent battles, the audience also wants to see this kind of battle of wits.

And when the girl in front of them chose chess, they knew that the battle before them would be a battle with dignity and life at stake.

But...

In the high-energy inventory, as the Ex-Machina girl slowly controlled the chessboard, Riku was ready, revealing a very determined look.

"Game request..."

Following the words of the Ex-Machina girl, everyone was looking forward to what the stakes of this battle would be.

It must be something extremely exciting.

The audience thought so and looked at the video.

And the girl’s words just echoed in the video and reached the audience.

"Condition: If this individual wins, it is required to be taken home for reproduction."

"Fuck... That's why I said you can't believe it! You can't believe it! Can't this inventory be a little more normal?"

An audience member's defense was instantly broken after hearing the girl's words.

Another viewer's comment was even more outrageous.

"Are you sure this is a punishment? And you don't have a hole! No hole!"

Although people are constantly venting their dissatisfaction in the comment section, it is obvious that the video attracts more attention.

Rick looked at the girl in front of him, showing a very determined smile, then slowly stretched out his hand to the transparent chess piece, and then, he held it tightly.

"Chess, of course..."

Rick felt like God was playing a joke on him and could only smile helplessly.

I don't stand a chance against the calculation ability of the Ex-Machinas, but...

The boy's mind slowly emerged with his favorite thing to do since childhood, which was to keep thinking on the chessboard and spend the whole day there. Even if he was playing chess with himself, he was very happy.

But after growing up, due to various restrictions and even the long-term oppression of the human race, he has not had any happiness in playing games for a long time.

Even so, chess is still his only way to relax and his favorite thing to do.

But on this point, he didn't want to lose, lose to a machine without any emotions.

so...

Rick's voice became extremely confident at this moment, and his eyes began to shine again.

"What if...what if I win...?"

"【Answer】, take this machine back and allow the practice of reproductive behavior."

The Ex-Machina girl answered Riku's question seriously, but for Riku, such an answer was really confusing.

Of course, the same goes for the audience. After all, this kind of thing is inherently shameful, but the Ex-Machinas in front of them just keep repeating it.

Besides, don’t both results point to the same ending?

The Blank brother and sister, who were in the same game world, just watched the scene in front of them, helplessness written all over their faces.

But of course their focus was not here, but on the chess set in Rick's hand.

For the Blank siblings, chess is their forte, and he is looking forward to what the outcome will be.

Of course, they were not the only ones who had such expectations, there were also three people on the ship.

That’s right, when he saw that it was a chess game, a thought-provoking smile appeared on Sakayanagi’s face.

"Ayanokouji-kun, this seems to be your strong point..."

"I'm really looking forward to playing a game of chess with Ayanokouji-kun someday."

There was no trace of teasing in Sakayanagi's tone, and she just called out to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka softly.

However, this made Horikita Suzune who was standing by very unhappy.

In her memory, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was just an ordinary student in Class D, but he was able to attract the attention of Class A leader Sakayanagi, and even...

Their relationship seemed to be quite good, and she even knew that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was very strong in chess, which was something she had not expected.

Looking at Sakayanagi with a smile in front of him, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did not deny his own strength at all and nodded slowly.

"Ayanokouji-kun...I'll take that as your agreement..."

Sakayanagi fluttered her eyelashes towards Ayanokouji, like two lovers in love, making Horikita Suzune, who was sitting next to them, feel like ants were crawling on her.

The chess game in front of them was indeed enough to attract the three of them. After all, this time it was not a fantastic battle, but the same as their usual chess game.

Moreover, if they play chess, I will probably be able to learn something from it, and even play a game of chess with them in my mind.

This feeling is so wonderful.

Of course, for Ayanokouji, he just wants to know whether the boy in front of him can defeat a creature like a machine.

He knew very well that this machine was not an artificial intelligence, but a truly advanced machine product. It was almost like a human, except, of course, that it had no holes.

What is the boy's chance of winning against such an enemy?

Chapter 12: Blank Desire to Win

Back at the high-energy bottom, after hearing the Ex-Machina girl's answer that it would be the same regardless of winning or losing, Riku's tone suddenly became extremely helpless.

“Isn’t this the same…!”

However, careful viewers have discovered that Rick at this moment is completely different from before.

At least, even though he ruthlessly rejected the girl's behavior, his face no longer had a cold expression, but a confident smile.

That's right, Rick's barrier towards other races was slowly being pried open without him even noticing.

Perhaps, it was because the girl in front of him made unreasonable demands again and again, or perhaps, it was because of the chess set chosen by the girl that gave him confidence again.

However, no matter what, at least the atmosphere now is extremely harmonious, even relaxed. This is indeed not easy for this inventory. For the audience, this is also a gratifying thing. After all, since watching it until now, this video always brings a sense of depression to the audience.

And now, ever since the appearance of this Ex-Machina, the innocence of this girl, as well as her funny tone like a machine, have relieved the rather depressed audience a little. Of course, when Riku wasn't paying attention, it slowly broke down his mental barrier.

That's right, at this moment, Riku just smiled and waved his hand at the Ex-Machina in front of him, as if he had no way to deal with the girl's unreasonable behavior.

"Forget it...you won't let me go anyway...I'll just listen to you reluctantly..."

Riku took off his goggles and sat opposite the girl. He became extremely serious and resolute, as if declaring war on the Ex-Machina in front of him.

Looking at Rick who was extremely serious in front of her, the girl's eyes trembled slightly without anyone noticing.

"So..."

"let's start..."

As Riku nodded, the Ex-Machina girl also understood what Riku meant. She nodded to the boy in front of her, and then...

A holographic projection appeared before their eyes.

"【Conclusion】, follow the conditions and play the game."

Listening to the girl's words, Rick stopped wasting time.

However, thinking about the purpose of coming here, the scene when he met the girl in front of him, and now sitting here playing chess with the Ex-Machinas, Riku really doubted his brain.

However, this self-mockery only lasted for a moment. After quickly adjusting himself, Rick quickly returned to his proper state.

Although the outcome of the game would not change no matter what, he did not want to lose to anyone at chess, including people of other races.

As he thought about this, a thought-provoking smile slowly appeared on Rick's face.

"The outcome will be decided in one game...but I'm going to make some slight changes to the conditions."

While talking.

Rick's mouth corners slightly raised.

In his eyes... there is full of proud determination.

Although the gap between humans and Ex-Machina is still very large, he still believes that he can win on this chessboard.

The audience watching the video are also looking forward to the showdown at this moment, especially the brother and sister Kongbai.

The two people in front of him not only looked very similar to Sora and Shiro, but more importantly, they were playing chess. This made Sora suddenly remember the duel with Shiro.

Yes, it was the battle with 3526744 battles, 1170080 wins, 1170080 losses and 1186584 draws.

Although Kong knew very well that it would be difficult to win with the help of the boy in front of him who looked very similar to him.

After all, he always played chess with his sister, and his sister Bai's computing ability was no different from that of a machine, or even several times stronger than a machine.

If we just talk about chess, Sora has no chance at all.

But even so, he would still issue a challenge. As for why... maybe he himself didn't know, just like the young man in front of him who clearly had no chance of winning but still chose to fight.

Looking at it this way, these two people are indeed very similar to Bai and me.

Kong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With such terrifying computing power, I always wondered if Bai was a reincarnated machine. But now that I see it, are you sure the author didn't create us based on them? Or did he create them based on us?

Even the materialistic Kong felt completely changed by the scene before him.

A terrifying thought lingered in Kong's mind.

At this moment, Kong began to doubt himself.

But...even so, Kong just felt the pressure doubled, and he didn't feel disappointed.

I don't know... Can this boy defeat the guy in front of him who looks like Bai?

In other words, can humans defeat machine-like creatures?

Come on, my good brother. I can’t beat White at chess, so I’m counting on you!

This thought slowly emerged in Sora's mind.

"Brother... do you really want to win against Bai...?"

Just as Kong was thinking this, Bai had already completely seen through Kong's thoughts.

“Hahahahahaha…Doesn’t Bai want to defeat me…?”

Sora was very honest. Although he must not lose any battle in the name of Sora, in the name of Sora, he really didn't want to lose to his sister.

That's right, even after 3526744 battles, 1170080 wins, 1170080 losses, and 1186584 draws, he still wanted to compete with his sister.

But obviously, this is a very difficult thing to do.

Although I always lose to this machine-like sister in chess, it doesn’t mean that I have never won.

That’s right…Sora seemed to remember something.

I always lose, but that doesn’t mean I have never won. The same goes for the boy in front of me.
