In the world of The King's Avatar, Yu Wenzhou said, "Hehe~ A perfectly reasonable guess."
"Previously, the goblin and orc races also clashed in the secret base of [Marrow Explosion], but both sides tacitly refrained from 'detonating' or using weapons of this level, which fully demonstrates the deterrent power of weapons of this level."
The villain initializes the world. Ling Chen: "If one party has a dominant weapon of this kind, it's like a dimensional reduction attack. But if two parties have it, they will be wary of each other. Unless they are really pushed to the limit, they probably won't use it."
In the world of Ye Luoli, Wang Mo exclaimed, "Oh! I get it! This thing is actually an exclusive item for the final battle!"
In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan thought, "Hiss~ Looking at it this way, Rick is completely gambling with his life! From the moment he appeared until now, if he had made even the slightest mistake, he would probably have been instantly exposed and killed!"
Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Sand Gold: "In order to gain the chance to survive, life is also a chip on the gambling table."
"Luckily, he won his gamble in the end."
No Game No Zero World, Sink Nielbaren: "Unbelievable, just a mere human..."
"[Bone marrow explosion]?"
[The game ended, and Nina Clayb obtained the information she wanted.]
"Yes, a weapon of mass destruction capable of annihilating an entire continent."
Rick answered his opponent's questions while tidying up the chessboard.
"Can those weapons made by the [Goblins] surpass the Forest Elf's strongest spirit destruction spell, [Void Zero Blessing], which they've wagered all their spiritual power on...?"
【"Wait……"】
Nina Claybe, about to fall into deep thought, also didn't ignore Rick, who wanted to leave.
[That feeling of unease I just experienced...]
"Sometimes you make moves that you intentionally lose. Let me ask you one last time..."
"Are you an enemy... or an ally?"
[A sharp, razor-sharp killing intent flashed in Nina Kleb's eyes!]
[This information is very important, extremely important! To obtain this information, she's even willing to be expelled from the Forest Elf Clan by placing bets on it—the specific operational and deployment data of [Void Zero Blessing]...]
However, this intelligence might just be... making one a tool to be used!
Even if this [ghost] possesses magical skills far surpassing hers, if the opponent is an enemy... she's prepared to be killed instead!
That, in fact, proves that the information provided by the other side is unreliable!
Then, under her gaze, the [ghost] slowly spoke.
"Neither enemy nor ally, just as much as possible..."
"I don't want any of you to die."
"The ghost spoke calmly, answering despite the obvious traces of magic in Nina Clayb's eyes."
"Alright, Mr. [Ghost], I'll accept your information. As for what to do with it, that's entirely up to me, isn't it?"
There's no indication of lying.
Perhaps his fluent Elven language added a bit of trust to his words?
Could the other party be a senior member of the Forest Elf race who dislikes the dead?
She's probably already used her most prized magic to try and uncover Rick's true intentions.
However, it couldn't be false, because that was Rick's honest opinion.
Having confirmed this, Rick made no response and continued walking outside...
"By the way~!"
Watching Rick's departing figure, Nina Clayb's tone suddenly changed, as if even her personality had shifted from its previous calm and strategic demeanor to a lively, playful, and mischievous one.
"[Mr. Ghost], there are things you don't know, huh?"
"Nina Kleb is a pseudonym, my real name is—"
"Sink Nirbalian!"
"This is my true self. Did you see through my acting?"
In an instant, as if he had become a different person, Sink Nielbarn revealed a victorious smile, his face beaming with smugness.
【"Cough~"】
Rick cleared his throat and said matter-of-factly.
"I've never called you [Nina] before, have I?"
Rick left, leaving only Sinker Nielbaren behind, his triumphant expression gradually fading.
In the Date A Live world, Kotori Itsuka: "Hey? This Sink, could he be interested in Riku?"
"That's interesting. Let's try using this method in combat next time!"
Chapter 415 Whose credit is it?
"You just had to choose me to be your plaything."
"You'll regret this."
[The head of the Nielbaren family, a prestigious clan among the forest elves.]
[A genius spell whose magical skill is unmatched!]
Sink Nielbaren smiled, clearly unconvinced.
[The origin of the rumor that the forest spirits harbor resentment...]
"It is not from anyone else, but from our Nirbarien family."
[A magical imprint flickered in Sink Nielbaren's eyes, as if he had already etched the image of this [ghost] into the deepest recesses of his memory.]
Although a smile still lingered on her lips, her eyes were fixed intently on the direction the [ghost] had left, like those of a 'hungry ghost'.
No matter how many years or generations pass, she will pass on this 'fooling'.
And one day, we will expose this [ghost's] true identity! We will wash away the shame of the Nielbaren family with blood!
In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Star: "Playing with me?...Can I do that?! I want it too!! Duang!"
Honkai Impact 3rd, March 7th: "You bastard! Be serious for once!!"
【"Cough!"】
After walking a distance from the other mansion, Rick could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to the ground!
"Rick!"
"Rick! Drink the [dye remover] now!"
Hughie rushed over anxiously and pulled a pipe from her person.
But Rick didn't even have the strength to open his mouth, so Shubi had to force the tube into his mouth.
【"Click! Click!"】
[His throat felt like it was burning, producing a dry, hoarse cough.]
[This kind of black ash is so painful that even a tiny bit gets on you, let alone being covered up all over your body for so long!]
[Five innings!]
To avoid arousing too much suspicion, Rick played a full five games of chess with this forest elf genius!
"Rick! You big liar! You said you could solve it in an hour!"
[Shubi desperately forced Rick to drink the dye-removing liquid.]
"Inhaling such a large amount of [black ash]... I endured it for two hours!"
That's right, forest elves are a species with an extremely high level of sensitivity to 'elves'!
Even if the [black ash] is merely applied to the body's surface, there's still a tiny chance that the disturbed 'elf' will be able to detect its true form.
To completely eliminate this potential threat, Rick's choice was—
[It ate part of the [black ash]!]
[Black and gray] will disturb, corrode, and destroy anything it comes into contact with.
Even the most skilled sorcerer would be unable to discern the chaotic state of a body so thoroughly corrupted.
[Black Ash was mixed into water, and Rick drank a lethal dose of it!]
[And this 'lethal dose' was calculated by Schwie based on an hourly timeframe.]
Rick, who had endured for two hours, was now being mercilessly corroded and destroyed by the [Black Ash]!
"Crack! Cough cough...!!"
After being fed enough [dye removal fluid], Rick's internal organs, which were almost melting, finally stopped burning wildly!
Except for the head, which was untouched by the black ash, every inch of the skin on the entire body had been completely corroded and ruined by the black ash...
The skin had completely turned into a layer of rotten flesh, and the burn marks on the neck were even "advancing" towards the brain...
"There's no other way... otherwise, my true identity will be exposed in an instant..."
"Besides, with her exceptional intellect, she would never have imagined me committing suicide."
At Sink Nielbaren's mansion, the other party, just as Rick had predicted, pondered for a long time... but still couldn't figure out the [ghost's] true purpose.
But she couldn't ignore such important information; she needed to verify it using her own methods.
No Game No Life Zero World, Sink Nielbaren: "Wow~ really~ I have exceptional intellect~ I'm truly grateful for Mr. [Ghost]'s recognition~"
No Game No Life Zero World, Nina Claybe: "..."
"Even so, at most we and the goblins will only be locked in a stalemate until we test each other's strength."
"Well, for a mere human being to achieve this level is not bad."
Apart from that, in No Game No Life Zero, Riku didn't find any other comments that might have many consequences.
After all, everything Riku has been able to do so far is inseparable from the help of the machine named 'Shubi'.
Is it possible for humans to create a 'dye removal solution'?
That's an essential energy source, almost equivalent to 'blood', even for machine-type creatures!
Humans are not capable of effectively surveying terrain.
Humans are not allowed to send any messages to the goblin spaceships.
Humans cannot reach the vicinity of the Elf capital.
'Shubi's' information processing capabilities.
'Shubi's' communication and counter-surveillance capabilities.
'Shubi's' 'spirit detection' ability is a detection ability that only higher races possess to a certain extent, ignoring the interference of [black and gray].
In the eyes of most creatures, without the existence of 'Shubi', Rick would still be worrying about the survival and food of the settlement, and suffering from the fact that his teammates would become food for 'Demons' or 'Orcs' every time they explored.
So rather than saying what happened to Rick, it's more accurate to say that the various races have become even more wary of the 'Machine Race'...
And this is exactly what Rick wanted. For those who haven't experienced all of this yet... no, it should be said that they shouldn't have to experience all of this after the Sky Curtain was released. At least for now, Rick doesn't think he can trust his 'Shubi' at all...
"Ah...cough cough..."
"Rick!"
Rick struggled to turn over, revealing his other arm.
"It seems like my hand is failing me."
The arm appeared to be completely carbonized; the exposed palm was pitch black, devoid of any color, and the pain was gone...
However, this is not a good thing; it means that Rick's left hand is completely necrotic, with no possibility of recovery whatsoever...
In the world of the heart, Lin Yi said, "The corrosive damage that causes complete nerve necrosis, the pain of such an injury... it's truly something that a person's will can grit their teeth and endure..."
Forensic pathologist Qin Mingshijie, Li Dabao: "Extensive skin grafting... No, they didn't have a sterile surgical environment, did they? Postoperative infection could kill him, not to mention the possibility of rejection..."
In the bizarre world of Blackjack, Blackjack says, "Sigh... If I don't die, I'll probably be covered in bandages from now on."
