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

The more he looked at the Ex-Machina girl in front of him, the more Sora subconsciously thought of her as Shiro, and similarly, when looking at Riku in front of him, Shiro felt like he was seeing his brother.

Although everyone was caught up in a very cheerful atmosphere, after all, seeing the two of them finally getting married, everyone would feel happy and send their blessings.

But the only ones who couldn't laugh were the Baikong siblings.

How to put it? This feeling is really hard to describe. To the Blank siblings, it was like seeing themselves walking into the palace of marriage.

Anyway, it's very weird, and there's always an inexplicable sense of disharmony in my heart.

If you really want to get married, that's not impossible. After all, we are not direct siblings. But... Bai is still young, so you should wait until she reaches adulthood before taking action on her.

That’s what Kong thought anyway.

"Oh...I really hope that day can come soon."

"Brother, I can't wait for this wonderful future."

Kong just kept talking to himself in words that no one else could understand, but Bai, who was standing beside him, had already seen through Kong's thoughts.

Although this is what I thought, all this is a story for the future.

Back to the high-energy video, after the two decided to get married, the beautiful scene slowly came to another place.

Unlike just now, the place now is obviously in a closed room, which is difficult for anyone to find and enter, but... it is surprisingly beautiful.

It was also at this moment that the current human leader, Sister Kroni, appeared on the screen.

Under the eyes of all the viewers, Rick and Hubie also appeared in the video at the same time. They were seen holding hands, smiling at each other and standing on the crystal that was comparable to the one in the palace.

The whole scene shows how harmonious it is for a moment, without any sense of the end of the world. Compared to the flames of war, this must be what Rick wants to see, the real life belonging to human beings.

Accompanied by this wonderful atmosphere, Kroni's gentle and pleasant voice slowly began the final oath in this small cave.

"Groom Rick, are you willing to marry Hubie and swear to accompany her, support her, love her and grow old with her forever?"

"Oh, yes, I swear."

Without any delay or hesitation, Rick nodded in agreement.

"Really, Rick."

Chloroney was very dissatisfied with Rick's quick answer. She put her hands on her hips and lectured Rick like an older sister:

"The correct phrase here should be [Swear to the Will]."

However, when Rick heard that Chronicle was still using such an old slogan, he quickly refuted it. For them, for humans, this sentence should no longer be used.

"Well, sorry, that has been discontinued."

"Now, it's time to [Swear an Oath to the Covenant]."

As he spoke, Rick raised his hand to half his chest, as if to tell Chloe this new gesture.

Seeing Rick, who was younger than her, refutate her so seriously, Chloro's face was full of dissatisfaction.

Although she knew that Rick and Hubie had now turned into ghosts and no longer existed in this world.

but...

She still couldn't accept it for a moment, looking at Rick and Hubie, then she straightened her face and vented her dissatisfaction like a little girl:

“I did so many things in places I didn’t know about…it always felt so bad.”

"And what is this?"

"As soon as I received your hiding place, I rushed over so quickly. I didn't even make any prior preparations. You said you were getting married right away."

Clooney kept on talking about her inner dissatisfaction. Although she was very happy to hear their hiding place at first, she was soon surprised about the idea of ​​getting married.

In short, receiving so many different messages in a very short period of time, even Chloroney couldn't process it all at once and didn't know how to face the two people.

Although her brother inexplicably said he wanted to get married, she, as an older sister, still felt relieved. After all, her brother would eventually come to his senses and find someone to spend the rest of his life with. As an older sister, she was very happy. However...all the information she received at the same time still made her feel confused.

Listening to Chloe's words, the audience all felt emotional for a moment. After all, Chloe was not a spectator and was unable to see the journey that Rick and Hubie had walked together. This was normal. For Chloe, it might be difficult to accept it for a while, which was normal.

but...

Just as the audience was thinking this, Rick started to complain directly:

"You are the one who insisted on holding the ceremony, and you complain a little too much."

Rick just looked at Chloe in front of him helplessly. Should he say something about his sister...she always felt silly.

"Cough cough..."

In order to hide her embarrassment and to signal Rick to shut up, Clooney slowly raised her hand and placed it on her chin, interrupting Rick in a serious manner.

In order to keep the wedding going, Rick stopped talking. He just looked at Chloe, and his expression gradually returned to a serious state.

After Kloni glanced at Rick again, she slowly turned her gaze back to the piece of paper with the oath written on it.

"Bride Hubie, are you willing to marry Rick and swear to accompany him, support him, and love him..."

"I am willing!"

Before Chloroney could finish, Hubie's voice replied excitedly.

At this moment, Hubie could no longer conceal her inner excitement and the unspeakable emotions. She slowly lowered her head and placed her hands on her chest, as if she had endless words that she wanted to say.

The next moment, her eyes became very serious, and at this moment, an irreplaceable emotion emanated from her expression.

Rick and Chloe were surprised by the depth of their affection.

Can an Ex-Machina also have such strong emotions?

Hubie looked at her chest, which was her core energy source, and said sincerely:

"I swear to Hubie's existence, the meaning of my birth, and to Rick who gave me his heart."

"I will never let Rick die. We will be together until the end."

"Swear an oath to the Covenant."

Although Hubie's words are so simple, one can feel the emotions contained in her words.

Rick, who was listening to Hubie's touching words, couldn't help but blush.

And Chloroney also smiled optimistically as she looked at Hubie, who was about to become her brother's wife.

Before, she was still wondering what would happen to her brother. Would he be lonely for the rest of his life? With his personality, it would be difficult for him to find a girlfriend. But now... all the worries in her heart have turned into blessings.

If it was Hubie, maybe it would really work.

As she thought of this, a faint blush appeared on Kroni's face.

"Anyway...as your elder sister, let me first say congratulations on your marriage."

As she spoke, Chloro slowly took up the flowers that she had prepared long ago.

Then, he moved closer to Hubie step by step, and by the time the audience and Rick reacted, it was too late.

"Ah, Chloe!"

Even if Rick reached out to stop Clooney, it was too late.

There was no way Rick could jump over in an instant, nor was there any way he could stop Chloro Ni with words.

Chronicles took off Hubie's hood, and the head energy device that belonged exclusively to the Ex-Machina was exposed in front of Chronicles.

"Is this... the end?"

"It seems like it's really over..."

"That's not the case. I remember this guy had evidence that Shuvi was an Ex-Machina several times before, but she just didn't come to a conclusion. And she didn't tell anyone. I think she already knew it, but just needed a conclusion."

"Yeah, you're right."

The comment section was in an uproar in an instant. No one could have imagined that such a simple action would directly expose the fact that Huby was an Ex-Machina.

However, under everyone's surprised gaze, Chroni slowly inserted the bouquet into the device that belonged exclusively to the Ex-Machina, as if she had expected it.

This operation really confused Rick and Hubie, and they even froze in place.

The same was true for the audience. When they saw Chloe perform the series of actions so naturally, their mouths opened slightly in surprise, and they couldn't even find words to describe their current emotions.

It’s like...the secret that I was hiding was discovered by someone, but others already knew it and didn’t take it seriously.

Chapter 31: Ghost's Action! The Secret of Marrow Explosion!

Although Riku and Hubie didn't know what happened, Chroni seemed to have known for a long time that Hubie was an Ex-Machina, which shocked Riku.

After all, up to now, he didn't feel that he had been exposed, and Chloe had never discussed this issue with him secretly.

He even wondered...if Chloro was stupid.

You are looking at a Mecha-Machina! Mecha-Machina are the kind of guys who can kill you at any minute, how can she be so calm... Anyway, Riku thought about it over and over again, but he still didn't understand. The only explanation that could make sense was that Hubie had been discovered a long time ago.

Looking at Rick and Hubie's shocked expressions, Chloro felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Perhaps to avoid Rick's surprised look, Chloe shifted her gaze to Hubie, and then...

"Wow! How cute!"

Looking at this older sister with a gentle smile, Rick also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact... Rick is least afraid of Chloe discovering the secret, but... he is also most afraid of her discovering it.

Because he knew Chroni would support him no matter what, but she might be scared to death when she found out that Hubie was an Ex-Machina.

So... since the result cannot be changed and since Chloe already knows it, Rick no longer hides it and instead slowly regains his calm.

Now, he has a problem.

"Kroni...why?"

Even though he knew Chroni would support him, marrying an Ex-Machina was still too far-fetched. Even Riku found it outrageous.

But...it was Chloro who didn't have any objection or question at all.

From beginning to end, she always stood on Rick's side and supported Rick. No matter what happened, Chloe supported Rick.

This principle is very simple, but for Rick, it was difficult to understand for a while.

Even though other races have killed so many humans, Kroni has no objection to Rick and Hubie's marriage, which surprises Rick.

And there is only one answer to all this.

"Because... this was Rick's choice."

Clooney's gentle and moving gaze slowly shifted from Hubie to Rick.

If I have to say why, it must be because I am Rick's sister.

"Rick chose his wife himself. As her sister, I can only support her."

Even from Clooney's words alone, Rick could feel the tenderness coming from his sister.

For some reason, a hint of warmth slowly rose in his heart.

In the past, he was overwhelmed by the survival issues of mankind all the time, but now he realizes that this guy who always calls him sister is so inexplicably gentle.

I have been able to hold on until now... I guess it has a lot to do with Chloro Ni.

If it weren't for her...I don't know what I would have become.

Rick, who found himself again from Hubie, finally found the person who had always supported him.

Be it his followers, or this Chloro Ni who always calls herself his sister, or his beloved Hubie, they all stand by his side from beginning to end, and are his companions, family members, and lovers who will definitely appear by his side when he needs help.

After this period of growth, he finally realized that he was just a brat whose eyes were blinded by hatred, anger and unwillingness, but now he is Rick who truly understands what love is.

"good..."

Listening to Riku's monologue, the wise king Gilgamesh, who was far away in Uruk, also showed a look of agreement.

Being able to clearly recognize one's past shortcomings and acknowledge them is something that many people cannot do.

And it is precisely those who can admit their own mistakes who can become stronger.

Because he understands his own weakness, he continues to become stronger. Since his starting point is low, there is a lot of room for improvement. This sentence applies not only to Rick, but to all of humanity.

Human beings are weak. No matter what era, human power is just a drop in the bucket.

However, Rick realized that there were countless powers standing behind him, and at this moment, he was no longer alone.

In the eyes of King Gilgamesh, the brilliance of mankind also makes him admire it very much.
