Chapter 91 90. The Game Begins

The black ash filled with war disappeared, the long-lost sunshine shone on this planet, and ten covenants appeared. This world was the world that Rawl wanted to stay in, not a world where he could not even directly contact the atmosphere.

"Lord Artosh has really been defeated." Jibril knelt down, which symbolized the end of the war. The birth of the only God represented the defeat of the other gods. No matter how powerful the other gods were before, they could only be God species now.

Jibril quickly used the space tunnel. She witnessed everything. She was eager to know how he ended the war. From beginning to end, she did not see any human beings. What role did he play in this?

Is it the same as the previous war simulation game? In any case, she wanted to know the answer from Luo Er, so she came to the cave where the two of them stayed before. There was a pair of glasses and a note written in Chinese characters left there.

Jibril picked up the glasses and the note, put on the glasses, found a video, and opened it without hesitation.

"Haha, Jibril, you found this place? Should I say long time no see?" The man in the video faced the camera with a smile.

"Where are you?" Jibril asked, sounding a little angry.

"Come to think of it, I didn't close my eyes for several days and nights during that war game..." The man in the video talked about everything about their life together. All of them were bad things, including all the details of their first meeting.

Jibril then realized that a lot of things had happened between them. Even though it was only a short period of ten days, it was the most important part of Rawl's life.

After all, he had lived alone for nearly ten years, and he longed for companions to chat with. Humans were social creatures, and the only ones who could spend some time with him were her and the Ex-Machinas.

"So tell me, Raw, have you forgotten what I said before?" Jibril's voice trembled. She collected the heads of so many races, but she lost Raw's collection and couldn't find it.

"Haha, I think I have broken the promise we made before, but it's a covenant that must be kept. Goodbye, Jibril, thank you for appearing in my world and changing me. I'm afraid if I hadn't met you, I would still be living in a muddle-headed way like before, and my life wouldn't be as exciting as it is now." After Raw raised his thumbs, the recorded video ended.

"Who allowed you to die?" Jibril was very angry. She felt betrayed. She also wanted to know what methods humans used to confuse the war. Rawl did not tell her about the war game.

Recalling the brief time she had spent with Roll, it seemed that he spent the whole day reading books, and he would read books of every race he could come into contact with. In this era when war could not be waged, Jibril planned to do so. She wanted to confirm the truth that human had learned from the book.

Then she opened the note again. This was the language that the man asked her to learn. She didn't know how to read it very well at the moment and could only barely understand it. It described the process of the simulated war and his detailed actions.

Rawl was really teaching her how the weak fought against the strong. Because she knew she was weak, she never considered directly contacting the strong. Because she knew she was weak, she never exposed herself. Jibril carefully put away the note, which was her most important collection.

The Ex-Machina survived, and Einzig's eyes became confused. That was the last time they met. What did his last words mean? Did he have a heart?

The data of the Ex-Machinas was shared, so within five minutes, all the Ex-Machinas had this question in their minds.

Now that the ten covenants that must be observed have been set, Einzig said, "Next, play the game with the goal of finding out what the heart is."

"Yes." All the Mechas responded, but this one did not refute through data analysis, but intended to seriously seek the meaning of the heart. They remembered everything Einzishi had seen and heard. Hubie also survived, but also fell asleep in the hibernation chamber. As the first to have the heart, she could not accept the fact that Riku was dead. She understood Riku's thoughts from him, but she was too emotional and could not do it, so she fell asleep directly. The world was peaceful, but there was no one she missed.

The humans who voluntarily became ghosts, the ghosts stained with black and ash, are silently waiting for their own deaths in this corner of the world. They have no regrets, and they believe that it is great that humans have people like Rick.

"Brother, can you hold on?" A man walked up to the man lying on the grass.

"Haha, I'm afraid it won't work. The black ash has already invaded my bone marrow." The man lying there laughed as he looked at the hard-earned blue sky.

"Do you want to go back and see your family?" The standing man sighed.

"We are ghosts. What we have done must not be exposed. For the happiness of our families, we must not go back." The man spat out blood and his body gradually became unable to move.

"That's selfish of me, brother. I also need to find a place to spend my last moments." Another man left slowly.

"Take care." The man lying down sighed. The man who left was only eighteen years old, but he had to accept this fate.

These ghosts are all short-lived, short-lived ghosts who cannot see the light, but no one hates Rick. Instead, they trust him very much.

After that, humans were the first to adapt to the new rules and established the first country, Elkia. The queen gained most of the land with her outstanding talents and gaming skills.

The second one to adapt was Jibril from the Flügel race. She played games with every race, and the stakes were knowledge and books. Every time she won, she would disappear for a while, and the impression she left on the world was that of a strange Flügel race who wore black-framed glasses and loved books.

The Ex-Machinas, facing the new rules, bet on something very strange. They will not bet on themselves, nor will they use themselves as tools. There is only one bet, and that is the meaning of the heart.

This is a very general concept, because as long as people answer their true thoughts, it is not wrong, and winning will bring a lot of rewards, which also makes many races willing to play games with the Ex-Machina.

But soon, they all began to refuse to play games with the Ex-Machinas, because these mechanical lumps were too good at playing games, with sophisticated calculations and deductions, and they had never lost. Who needs to calculate every move when playing chess?
But Einzig was not discouraged. He believed that he would meet someone who could defeat them in their field. Perhaps then, they could truly understand what the mind is.

But if they don't take the initiative, they will definitely not encounter such a being, so they decided to keep playing the game until that day.

The beastmen were very regretful. They gave up the mainland and came to live on the island. The land resources were basically out of their reach. After all, only humans could adapt to the new rules so quickly.

All races began to slowly come into contact with the new covenant, began to gain a foothold in this world, and slowly began to accept the game. Everything was developing in a good direction, except that the people who ended the war died silently.
