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

But, we must not lose in momentum.

Since the other party has proposed a competition, I must seize this opportunity to test whether the other party really has that strength.

Hearing Nina's confident words and arrogant look, Rick was too lazy to argue any further and blurted out an important piece of information.

"So..."

"Let me first tell you about the latest development."

"The existence of the [Void Zero Protection] has been known to the Dwarves. What do you think?"

Hearing the ghost's words, Nina froze in place, her pupils trembling uncontrollably.

First of all... [Hollow Zero Protection] itself is a top secret. This secret was known by this guy of unknown origin... It is a threat to the elves.

This guy who can be considered neither a friend nor an enemy for the time being should not be killed. Once I kill him, his companions will spread the information about [Void Zero Protection] to other races.

Secondly, she was even more shocked to learn that the Dwarves already knew about the existence of the [Zeroth Protection of the Void].

If the mysterious man in front of him was just a single existence, then the Dwarfs were an entire race. If such a guy already knew about the [Zeroth Protection of the Void]... for the Elves, the situation was already extremely critical.

Before Nina could continue thinking, Rick said slowly:

"As the proponent of the theory of [Hollow Zero Protection], you can verify the authenticity of this information using your own methods."

"I said... right?"

After hearing the ghost's words that were enough to shock the whole world, the elf Nina slowly put down her hands. At this moment, she could no longer be wary of the person in front of her.

If you want to get more information, you can either win him over as a partner, or... compete with him.

The elves are well aware of this now. Riku is already a threat.

"Okay... No matter who you are, it looks like I can't just leave you alone."

At this moment, Nina was obviously a little panicked about the man in front of her. If she turned her back on him, she didn't know if she could defeat this guy with force alone.

After all, the fact that he was wrapped in clothes and the black and gray smell that kept emanating from him was enough to scare Nina.

If...if we really fall out and he leaves in the end, or if I get killed, there is another possibility that he has other partners waiting for him outside, then all these actions will only allow the information of [Void Zero Protection] to be sent to other races.

If this is the case, then the loss will really outweigh the gain.

So... this Mr. Ghost, the moment he came in, had already played me in his hands, and everything was going according to his plan. If this is the case...

Nina suddenly felt a desire for revenge against the ghost in front of her.

But...Nina still doesn't know what this guy's purpose is.

In this case, Nina will not give in. Since she doesn't know where you come from and how strong you are, she will just test you first.

As she thought about it, Nina clapped her hands and walked past Riku as if she had remembered something.

She wanted to get some information, but when she got close to Rick, she could feel the stench coming from the black ash and Rick who was not moved at all.

From beginning to end, Rick did not reveal a single flaw.

"Then... my bet is on the theoretical founder of the [Void Zero Protection]."

Obviously, Nina herself is also very clear about this bet, after all, she is one of the advocates.

But...if the ghost in front of him really knew the information about the [Hollow Zero Protection], he should understand that all of this is just a mystery.

Nina said this with a simple purpose, which was to find out whether the ghost in front of her was just a trick.

And Rick... certainly knew it.

Although he seldom deals with the elves, as an authoritative figure among the elves, his mind is definitely not that simple.

If you want to test me... then Riku will accompany you to the end.

"Not you, actually."

Rick interrupted Nina before she could continue.

Riku was able to find out this information from the ruins of the elves at that time, and the so-called Nina was just an advocate.

So...about the encrypted name below, if Rick's guess is correct, that is the real founder of [Void Zero Protection].

"I already knew this information a long time ago."

Rick said without changing his expression, his tone seemed very domineering for a moment, causing Nina, who was clapping her hands just now, to slowly put down her hands, and her face changed from a faint smile to a meaningful expression.

Perhaps the words of the ghost in front of her were too arrogant, and Nina was completely deceived by Rick at this moment.

Even using the power of the Spirit Corridor, it only showed that Rick was not lying.

Although from a certain perspective, Rick did not lie, and was even just relying on guesswork, but... for Nina who used the power of the Elf Corridor... it was not that simple.

When she realized that the other party's origins were unknown and she couldn't even get to the bottom of it, her face began to reveal a hint of sinisterness.

I always feel...it's really unpleasant to be dragged along by others like this.

As one of the few authorities among the elves, she was actually led by the nose by a guy of unknown origin. For Nina...she must take revenge for this.

However, now...

After hearing Rick's words, the power of her Elf Corridor, the so-called lie detector magic, was revealed to Rick.

She wanted to see what kind of expression this guy would have.

However, Rick never turned his head from beginning to end.

He's not some powerful guy, he's just a human being.

He had no strength. The only thing that got him here was his brain, or rather, his courage.

"And the magic you used to try to make me believe this lie."

"This information..."

Rick's tone was full of disdain.

After hearing these words, Nina completely forgot the sinister look on her face.

She didn't know...how many of her secrets the ghost in front of her had seen through.

The only thing she could judge was that she had to be vigilant against the guy in front of her. This guy was definitely not a mysterious guy... At least until now, this ghost had not revealed a single flaw. Every word he said was indeed the truth for Nina and the elves, and it was an extremely threatening truth.

Nina, the originally very proud elf, suddenly lost her good expression. She had no idea what to do with this kind of guy.

It seems that apart from following his pace and agreeing to play that game of chess with him, I don't seem to have any way out.

Although she tried her best to calm herself down,...

I'm afraid my heart rate has already been figured out by the ghost in front of me. This guy is really more terrifying than I imagined.

If that's the case...for a moment, a lot of complicated thoughts slowly emerged in Nina's mind.

Although I don't want to compromise, it seems that there is no other way now. More importantly, the guy in front of me is completely out of my control.

At this moment, Nina slowly shifted her gaze to Rick, and the flickering light also filled Nina's eyes at this moment.

She couldn't figure out the guy in front of her, let alone see through him.

After knowing this fact, Nina felt a little uneasy about the guy in front of her who called himself a ghost.

The last guy who gave her this feeling was her creator.

No matter whether it was the Flügel or other Old Deus, they had never been able to give her such oppression.

But the ghost in front of him did it.

He did not use any strength, but only relied on words and completely saw through Nina's thoughts, which made Nina herself feel that the guy in front of her was no longer the type she could deal with.

At this moment, Nina only felt that the ghost in front of her was a guy from hell... He seemed to be a being that could see the overall situation... Otherwise, it would not make sense why he could know everything.

However, if even a guy like this wants to come and play a game of chess with me, then it means that this guy still has information that he doesn't have.

He wants to get some information from me...right?

Interesting...very interesting.

So... what do you know? Let me meet you.

At this moment, Nina was thinking at the speed of light, and she knew that she could not escape.

However, she may not necessarily lose this game.

The audience who saw all this were impressed by the young man in front of them, what an amazing person he was.

With just a little information and courage, he was able to manipulate the elves.

Nina, the elf, doesn't know that as long as she steps onto the chessboard, it will unilaterally declare Riku's victory.

only...

"Rick, how long can you hold on...?"

Thinking of Riku who had already smeared black ash on his arms and even half of his body, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but look worried.

Judging from the current situation, Nina has been completely passive.

However, Riku is still a human being after all. If he cannot withstand the erosion of the black ash, he will collapse right here.

By then... all the efforts will be wasted, so... we must resolve the battle quickly now.

I have to lose this game of chess, but I can't lose too obviously and I can't arouse suspicion from the elves in front of me. Is such a thing possible?

Jiraiya, Uzumaki Naruto, or all the viewers watching the video, have already realized that the young man in front of them... might really not be able to hold on.

In the same way, a trace of worry appeared on their faces. With only a small amount of information, they were fighting against the elf Nina in front of them with their human bodies. Such a battle...

"Hold on, big brother!"

Naruto clenched his fists and placed all his hopes on Riku.

Back to the high-energy inventory scene, as the plot progresses, Riku and the elf Nina are now standing on opposite sides of the chessboard.

Rick slowly picked up a chess piece, announcing the start of the battle.

"So....my bet is."

"After knowing the [Hollow Zero Protection]."

"The Dwarves still judge it as having no basis for problems."

After hearing Rick's words...all the audience understood that he said it on purpose.

If we were to speak from an opposing perspective, there would be no way we could reveal our own strength.

But... in this apocalypse, humans just happen to be guiding the war from the perspective of ants, thus forming opposition, so...

Saying this is of absolute importance to ending the battle.

As Rick expected, the elf Nina could no longer stand after hearing these words.

Her expression seemed to tell Rick how shocked she was.

She was already shocked when the Dwarves learned about the [Zero Protection of the Void]... However, what shocked her the most was the fact that the Dwarves had never been afraid of the [Zero Protection of the Void].

If what the ghost in front of me said was true...then there is only one conclusion.

That is... the Dwarves already have the power to resist the [Zeroth Protection of the Void].

She was undoubtedly clear about the power of [Void Zero Protection]. As one of its advocates, she had always attached great importance to the development of [Void Zero Protection].

If they are not afraid of such a terrifying force... then we can already suspect that the Dwarves have created a weapon that is equal to or even more powerful than the [Void Zero Protection].

Nina was already getting restless. She had to tell this information to all the elves.

From the beginning to the end, Riku never lied, and this was precisely the result of utilizing the power of the elves.

That's right... As smart elves, they can use their lie detection power all the time even when Riku isn't noticing.

And it was Rick who had been using this power and knew that he was not lying. At this moment, Nina had been completely misled by her own power.

The elf Nina, in fact, was now completely seen through because of her own power.

All I can say is that Rick has completely seen through the guy in front of him.

He knew very well that as such a super creature, she would definitely rely heavily on the power she possessed, so... as long as he did the opposite and told the truth in every word, she would have to fall into his trap.

These pieces of information are the few that Rick has that can be considered top secret.

But...he just told it directly to Nina in front of him.

Everything is under his control.
