[“Here, let’s set the rules.” Rick gently held Hubie’s hand and pointed toward the sky.]

[“One, you can’t kill anyone!”]

[The boy’s first rule is undoubtedly wrong, but... the boy who has seen too many people die really... really doesn’t want anyone to lose their lives again...]

[2. No one will be killed! ]

[This is the boy's only remaining wish....]

【3. Do not be understood by anyone】

[Because being understood... is equivalent to death...]

[Fourth, any means can be implemented! ]

[As long as it is not understood... no matter how you cheat, it is not cheating...]

【5. Ignore those people’s rules! 】

[Because... our hearts... thoroughly despise killing each other...]

[Six. Violating any of the above rules will result in defeat! ]

[Because I feel that... a victory that violates the above rules is worthless...]

【….】

[“The enemy is God, who possesses earth-shattering violence, and is despair itself. Victory is far away, because the conditions for victory must be accomplished in secret. Even if it is victory, it will not remain in anyone’s memory or recollection. We are ghosts, and ghosts cannot speak...but..."]

[“But…if we can really win this game…” The voice changed direction, and everyone’s eyes shifted, stunned.]

[“Then… our life is awesome!”]

[“In this way, we can die with our chests held high and say this!” The boy stood up, patted his chest hard, and shouted loudly.]

[The light in the cave was not very bright, but when the voice fell, the invisible light... enveloped everyone! ]

【...】

[“So, does anyone want to quit now?” After a moment, Rick spoke softly, as if calming down, looking at the people around him, “Then, those who want to participate in this game can stay here…”]

[The empty cave is so vast, and no one can see in the darkness. Even if one, two, or ten people leave... no one will know, and they will not bear any infamy...]

[But no one left, no one left...]

Because they know...

[There is no hope, no so-called gods to save them! In order to protect the people in their hearts! They are willing to give everything! ]

【At this moment, they are their own...gods!!!】

[The firelight shines on the huge ore. This game for peace... where everyone's life is at stake... is not recorded by anyone.]

【No one knows...】

【….】

Chapter 17 [“As you can see...I am not talented..."]

Naruto World

Uchiha Madara in the Underground

"Hahaha, as a human being, you dare to challenge the gods!"

"With such courage, I, Uchiha Madara, recognize you!!!"

..............................

One Piece World

Far busier than ever.

After receiving the call, Sengoku looked at Kizaru who was still in a daze and immediately yelled angrily.

"Borsalino, head to the Holy Land immediately! Countless slaves are rioting!"

"Aokiji and Sakaski, go to Sabaody Archipelago immediately!"

"There have been casualties among the Celestial Dragons!!!"

.........................

Chabaoti Archipelago

Looking at the celestial dragon who fell to the ground.

Nami and the others said anxiously.

"Run, Luffy!"

"Once the great man comes, he won't be able to escape!"

"...Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, Robin, you go first," Luffy slowly lowered his hat and said softly.

"Why?! If we defeat the Celestial Dragons, the general will surely appear! Why don't you just run away!"

.......

"Because... these gods who regard life as garbage, these celestial dragons..."

"They are just a bunch of complete garbage!!!"

................

Revolutionary Army Headquarters

"In just one minute, ten more member states have sent friendly requests!"

"Slave rebellions of varying degrees occurred all over the world..."

The dragon's eyes were filled with hope as he looked very close to the ocean.

"...You will win..."

.........................

Game of Life

The little fox Hatsuse Izuna was already crying with tears streaming down her face, and the human race was watching this scene in despair.

"Is this why no one knows about this..."

"This kind of reason...this kind of war...is completely trampling on anyone's life!!!"

"Mythology or history..."

"We, we will never forget it!"

.....................

[Screen continues]

[Under the beautiful angular ore, the sky is shining with colorful rays of light, and the sky gradually sprinkles beautiful starlight, and a fairyland-like scene appears, as if something is being paved outside]

[Hubby and Rick looked into the distance quietly. Hubby looked at Rick and whispered, "Miracle, if a miracle really happens, probability theory becomes worthless." ——Listening to the girl's answer, Rick smiled, "Yes, everything is possible. In the general theory, there is neither zero nor 100%. In the end, it's all just talk. Do you want me to prove it to you?"]

[The girl's eyes flickered, as if she was curious about the boy's proof method, and she raised her head and looked up at Rick]

[“Question, what is the probability if I confess to Hubie here now?” Without any casualness, Rick stared at Hubie with his hands tucked under his clothes.]

["The question is unclear, the estimate is basically zero", after being stunned for a moment, she spoke in a bland manner, but the Ex-Machina girl did not completely deny the estimate, perhaps...]

[“You see, this is wrong…”]

【“…Marry me…Hubby!”】

[Under the colorful afterglow, the girl's expression seemed to be stagnant. The Ex-Machina, who was the best at learning, could not show any expression at this moment, and could only look at that...]

[That... meaningless... ring that cannot possibly appear before any Ex-Machina...]

[“I can’t...understand...I refuse.” The girl’s voice trembled. ]

[Rick, who was standing by, seemed to be petrified. He hid on the stone and apologized, "I'm so sorry... I'm a virgin, but I still want to get married..."]

[But the girl didn't care about the boy's behavior, and slowly lowered her head. The huge hat made it difficult for the girl to see her expression. "Marriage... rings... are contracts exchanged between humans and their reproductive partners. Hubie is an Ex-Machina..." - The boy answered nonchalantly, "Of course I know, but I still want to marry you! I just want Hubie to stay by my side forever..."]

[The mechanical eyes began to flicker, and Hubie's mechanical eyes seemed to begin to recall, "Why, I am by Rick's side now" - the boy responded to every word the girl said in an anxious tone, "That's not what I meant, I mean as a life partner"]

[Ric's childhood reappears on the screen, and Hubie refuses again, "Hubie is an Ex-Machina, he cannot reproduce, nor can he perform reproductive acts..." - "No problem!"]

[The Ex-Machina girl responded calmly, but her pupils were flashing violently.]

[The boy yelled madly, "Don't worry about it!"]

[“No... because..."——"Hubi..."]

【"because..."】

[On the screen, the dragon appears again, along with Shuvi. A strong, destructive storm breaks out between the Ex-Machina and the dragon, sweeping away everything on the ground, including... Riku's hometown...]

[“The one who destroyed Rick’s hometown… was Hubie.” All the previous foreshadowing seemed to be that the girl didn’t want to tell the truth, but how could that be possible? It must be that the machine was slow to react… How could a robot have feelings…]

[“Even so, can Riku still say the same thing…”, Hubie’s deep red eyes are like human eyes, but that’s…only people who are about to cry will have such a reaction]

【“Hubby”】

[The girl's head dropped further, as if she was curling up her entire body to prepare for defense...]

[Because the girl clearly remembered that every time Rick got angry, it was because of the loss of his relatives and the loss of his hometown...]

[The girl clenched her hands tightly... Looking under the huge coat, this... seemed to be a real life... It was really just a little girl...]

[Rick was not as furious as expected. He slowly walked towards Hubie and said helplessly, "Ah, this, I have noticed it, although only vaguely." ——"Why... why?" The girl raised her head and asked with a stutter. 】

[“What I felt strange about at first was, as expected, when we first met, why did you choose chess? And why did you ambush so far away from the colony? You should be more cautious.”]

[The boy looks nostalgic and touches his nose with his finger]

[“Why then…why?”, this is an ambiguous question, even the girl doesn’t know what she is asking, but…she still gets the answer...]

[“Perhaps even knowing all this, I still fell in love with Hubie…”]

[I don't know when the colorful waves in the sky turned a little deep red... The falling snow also slowed down a bit...]

[The girl's body is a little stiff... trembling...]

[The scarred hand slowly reaches out, trying to touch Hubie's cheek... The girl doesn't dodge... but her body becomes even more tense...]

[“It’s impossible to change the fact that Hubie destroyed my hometown, but this can’t be changed. There’s no point dwelling on the past, gritting your teeth, feeling upset and crying... But next time, next time you must move forward..."]

[The girl's hat was gently taken off, and a mechanical body came into view. The boy didn't care, and reached out to gently touch the body. There was no coldness, only a reassuring warmth...]

[The snow in the sky is falling slower and slower, and the light red sky reflects the boy's cheeks so gently]

[This time, the boy was not angry with Hubie like before... because...]

[“Whether it’s the Hubie of the past or the Hubie who’s with me now, or the future we hope to be together in, I love everything. If two people are together, even in this world... I want to live on. If we can be together in the future, I can always face life with a smile...”]

[The ring called the contract between husband and wife was gently put on under the witness of the world. Although the ring was put on without reason...but the boy still kept asking...asking...]

[“…So, Hubie, are you willing to abandon all your principles and walk with me…”]

【“Will you be my wife...?”】

[Glittering tears rolled in her eyes and dripped... the girl's body collapsed to the ground...]

[It's an Ex-Machina, but it's just a cold machine...]

[But why can't the tears stop rolling...can't stop flowing...]

[Unspeakable emotions enveloped Shubi's heart, and the millions of languages ​​of the Ex-Machinas could only be summed up in one sentence...]

[“As you can see...I am not talented..."]

[“But...but...”]

[“Please always, always...always...let me stay by your side..."]

[Tightening my hands, tears dripped down, and the dim ring emitted a bright light...]

[There is no dazzling wedding, no one witnesses...]

[But, between heaven and earth... the rays of light that lingered for a moment have already offered the best blessings...]

[“Please give me your guidance... Hughie...”]
