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

"Parade, play games with Shiro."

Jibril and Stephen said this without giving it much thought.

However, Bai took out his cell phone and said:

"That was the day before yesterday. Today is the 21st."

"Or, what were you doing that night, the night of the 19th?"

After hearing Bai's question, Jibril and Stephen seemed to realize that they had no memory of that period at all.

Or maybe that memory was completely erased, which led to the current situation.

Now there is only one possibility that can explain this situation. Let me try to explain it.

"There is a possibility that Sora will disappear."

"Way to disappear from all of our minds about a day and a half ago."

"It's not impossible to use large-scale magic, but it will definitely leave traces."

"So...if it's a game."

"What if there is such a setting in the game after swearing an oath to the covenant?"

"For example, this person must disappear."

After hearing Bai's words, Stephen, Jibril and most of the audience were stunned.

Is there really such a game? It's too scary, but it seems that this is the only possibility at the moment.

"But what exactly is this game?"

"I have no idea..."

That's right, even someone as smart as Bai couldn't understand what kind of game this was.

But...since Sora did this, there must be a reason for it.

That’s right, the scene before Kong disappeared is still floating around, and all of this is proof of Kong’s existence.

"I believe that only when we are together can we be a person."

This is my last sentence, but what does it mean?

"I will never leave Bai alone... so..."

While Bai was thinking, at the same moment, the illusory voice came into Bai's mind.

"Shiro...are you there?"

"Shiro...are you still there?"

That’s right, Bai finally understood.

My brother must be by my side, but I can’t see him with my naked eyes, I can’t feel him, and even my memory is disappearing. But he is definitely by my side, there is no doubt about it.

Bai hurried out of the hall, looking for any trace of Sora.

"Bai, where are you? Can you let me in while I'm still conscious?"

"To keep me from going crazy."

That's right, Sora must still be in this room. You know, Sora and Shiro can't be too far apart, so...

It’s okay even if it burns out, just think about it.

This situation——this is the reason why my brother entrusted me with this.

Use whatever memory is left.

Brother exists.

The two of us are one person.

In that case, I'm here.

I said we always win before the game starts.

Bound together by agreement.

My brother once said that we are not the protagonists of boys’ comics.

Think a little more...Think a little more!

Brother said, go get the last piece of the puzzle.

At this moment, Bai continued to use his remaining memories, constantly thinking, wandering, and analyzing the current situation.

"Take it?"

For this game, the hand of cards needed to fight the Eastern Union.

Props, wisdom, and observers.

Elves? To get elves!

How to get it?

Challenge Elven Gard?

No... not...

Kurami?

No... Kurami doesn't believe me?

There is no way such a request could be granted.

"!!!"

"If this is a game of competing for existence..."

The powerful thinking made Bai kneel down on his knees suddenly. Because he had exhausted his physical and mental strength, Bai suddenly fell into coma.

The audience watched the guy in front of them calculate and think like a machine, and finally get the result, and they couldn't help but sigh that he was a monster.

"This guy... feels like an Ex-Machina... He is clearly a human..."

I don't know when these comments started to occupy the entire comment section.

The audience also had to admit that after seeing Shubi's way of thinking, it really felt that this guy's way of thinking was not much different from that of the Ex-Machina.

Before they could continue to be surprised, the conversation between Sora and Kurami appeared on the screen.

"A game of competing for existence?"

"That's right... The thirty-two chess pieces that make up my existence reflect my deep psychological priorities."

“Assign them in order of importance, starting from the first.”

"That is to say, you won't know which chess piece constitutes what part of you until it is taken by the other party, until you have truly lost it."

"For example, the existence of the elves next to you, their arms and legs, nerves and memories, and even their existence itself will be taken away, and they will be completely unrecognizable. In other words, they will disappear completely."

Watching Kong speaking slowly in the video in front of them, the audience finally understood that this guy participated in such a game, and then disappeared completely after failing.

But...how could this happen? This guy is so strong.

Besides, what's the point of playing a game like this? He's willing to risk his own existence for this.

You know, what is more terrifying than death is the disappearance of existence itself. Existence that has never existed is hundreds of times more terrifying than death.

Even Kurami thought that the guy in front of him was completely crazy. He first gambled on the chess of race, and then gambled on his own existence.

"Are you serious?"

"That's right. According to the fifth covenant, the challenged party has the right to decide the content of the game."

"If you don't want to, the game won't work."

After hearing what the man in front of her said, even if Phil wanted to stop her from participating in this horrible game, it was useless.

"Fi, this man is gambling with the pawns of the human species on his declaration. We can't leave him alone."

"Really? I was actually hoping that we could reconcile."

The girl spoke slowly, but Sora spoke as if she were a heartless machine.

"I accept the settlement if you can trust me to give that Mori Jingzong to me."

However, Kurami just said this.

"How could I possibly do that!"

"I guess so..."

"So? What's the thing you're betting on?"

Sora spoke slowly:

"The winner of one party can ask the other party for two things."

"For example, making the outcome of the game permanent and destroying the opponent's existence forever."

"Or, in other words, tamper with the memory of a partner and make her a partner."

Only after hearing these words did the audience truly realize it.

If all the previous things were just bragging, then now... this game is a real game where you gamble your life.

"In other words, we are fighting for our own existence and the right to life and death of our companions?"

"Yes."

"You're just a lunatic."

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Kong was like a madman, constantly making sinister laughs that made the audience feel chilled to the bone.

Who on earth can be so adventurous as to play such a game...

"Well, let me propose an important rule while I'm crazy."

It was also at this moment...Bai suddenly woke up.

Bai, who had just been overexerting himself, finally woke up at this moment.

"Jibril, can we make a game of competing for existence?"

"No... I'm sorry..."

Jibril's answer undoubtedly hit all the audience hard. Now they could only hold their breath and watch how the guy in front of them would turn the tables. This was not a battle, or rather, they didn't even know how to evaluate this kind of battle.

Because...it's really beyond their thinking.

Chapter 5 Bai will never forget his brother

It seemed that the audience could not make any judgement about the situation except to watch carefully. Even though they knew of Kong's existence, they did not know how to break this situation.

Jibril continued:

"If it is a virtual world like the physical first relay, it is possible."

"What if we work together with the elves?"

"Cooperation?? With those country folk in the forest?"

Jibril was obviously a little surprised to hear Bai Jue say this in such a cold tone.

They, the Flügel and the Elves, are unique enemies, even mortal enemies. How could they cooperate with each other?

Although Jibril wanted to talk about the ancient war, it seemed that if she said it, she would most likely be killed in vain.

"Can it be done?"

"It's not impossible."

"Those country folk are more or less good at weaving complicated rituals."

After hearing what the two said, Stephen, who was standing by, gradually reacted.

"So Sora just played that game and eliminated his own existence."

"So it turns out that you have already lost and your existence has been eliminated."
