Type-Moon/Fate World, Sixth Singularity, Sacred Round Table Domain.
"Is this footage from the past?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at No Game No Life Zero. She remembered very clearly just now that the title No Game No Life had appeared earlier, but the worlds shown in the two videos seemed slightly different.
In the previous video, the human side seemed to be doing well because, at the beginning, blank appeared in a city, and the condition of the city's people could more or less be seen.
At the very least, they looked like they were living like human beings. But here in No Game No Life Zero, humans were living in absolute misery.
Under Riku's current performance, humans were like rats hiding in the sewers, having no power to fight back against other races at all, only able to pray that the aftershocks of their attacks wouldn't affect them.
From the situation in the video, these humans didn't seem to possess special powers like humans in other worlds, and they didn't seem to have'spirit power' in their bodies either.
They were just simple, weak humans. Other civilizations had already developed weapons of mass destruction, and even the battle to subjugate the dragon at the beginning—just the aftershocks—was a natural disaster for humans.
"It's too tragic."
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't bear to see this. When their world encountered such things, they could at least summon Heroic Spirits and Servants to fight against those legendary gods and monsters.
There were even so-called Magi and Magicians to protect the world.
Even now, Fujimaru Ritsuka was fighting against the legendary King of Mages, Solomon, in her capacity as Chaldea's or humanity's sole Master.
"Yes." Mash also didn't dare to look directly for a moment. Although the video contained some comedic elements, the previous scenes were undoubtedly telling everyone just how cruel this world was.
"Humans, no matter the environment, can live on tenaciously and welcome a true future."
Although Da Vinci had a smile on her face, her tone was very firm, because even though she was a Servant now, she was once a human.
So she believed in human potential—that infinite potential was enough to find a path full of light and hope in the midst of adversity and desperation.
"Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka, we must watch this video carefully. I have a feeling... this pair of young boy and girl named Riku and Shuvi can show us what true hope is."
Although it was only the beginning, Da Vinci had great confidence in the two of them, believing that in this video, they would be able to forge a path that would shock even the gods.
Previously, the Blank Siblings used their knowledge to defeat the god-slaying Flügel.
Now, Riku and Shuvi can definitely lead humanity out of their current predicament.
"Yes!" x2.
Both Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka understood Da Vinci's meaning, and they both nodded to show they understood.
One-Punch Man World.
"This is indeed the same world as that No Game No Life, but this should be a fragment from the past." Genos was currently wearing an apron, preparing ingredients for a hot pot. He was watching the video while doing so.
He frowned slightly at this moment, feeling that the people of this world were living a very difficult life.
When watching the battle between the Blank Siblings and Jibril, Genos was thinking about how humans should survive in this world before the 'game rules' appeared, given such enemies.
Because no matter from which angle one looked at it, the people of this world clearly didn't have special powers or powerful technology like the Naruto World or his own world.
Now Genos knew that the humans of this world had been pushed to the brink. They didn't even have the ability to participate in the battlefield directly; just being hit by the aftershocks would result in massive casualties.
To put it simply... it was like a person passing by an ant nest. She didn't intentionally hurt the ants, but by simply walking past, she might have destroyed the ants' home.
Or perhaps she stepped on who knows how many ants. She herself didn't notice anything, but she had indeed caused unimaginable damage to the ants.
The humans of that world had already become miserable to that extent.
"Yes."
Saitama nodded slightly. He sat on the floor, focusing intently on the scenes in the video, a hint of inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.
Because of the way Riku coolly gave orders for his companions to die so that they themselves could live.
And the way he vented by blaming himself when he was alone also made one feel an inexplicable heartache.
Seeing Riku like this, Saitama even wondered if he went to that world, whether he could make life a bit better for humans, as he still had a slight understanding of his own power.
"Humans are never weak."
Tatsumaki floated in mid-air. She looked at Riku and Shuvi in the video and said calmly, "Because physical force is not where human strength lies; wisdom is the foundation of human strength."
"Yes." Genos agreed with Tatsumaki's view. Relying solely on so-called physical force, it was impossible for humans to survive in the current world. After all, there were far too many beings stronger than humans.
Only humans with wisdom could become the Masters at the top of the food chain in various worlds.
The Blank Siblings used the human wisdom from another world to successfully defeat Jibril. This point alone was enough to prove that human wisdom should not be underestimated.
No Game No Life World.
"Eh? Heart?"
Jibril put away her perverted smile, her expression becoming somewhat serious. She looked at Shuvi and Riku in the video, recalling her great battle with Shuvi back then.
Her battle with the other party seemed to be because... she wasn't just a simple piece of scrap metal, but a 'living being' with emotions.
She was a highly threatening existence, which was why she fought her back then, and then... she suffered a huge loss!!!
Afterwards, the Great War began inexplicably. At that time, because she had exhausted all her power, she didn't participate in the final battle, which led to the god she served dying in that Great War.
"Although it's impossible, but..." Jibril's expression became serious. Did the Human Race and the Ex-machina race walk together during the Great War?
The two of them appeared in the video, and the title of this video was No Game No Life Zero, but the meaning of the title couldn't be discerned at all.
If it were some other title, Jibril might have been able to see something, but with this title, nothing could be seen at all.
Although she couldn't see anything, Jibril could now faintly feel that this video would reveal a corner of the truth from six thousand years ago.
This truth might allow the current Flügel...
No! Every race will be shaken to the core.
Jibril felt it; a tremor ran through her body—the kind that comes from sheer excitement.
The video kept playing.
When Riku and Shuvi stepped inside, they found a group of Humans.
A girl who looked almost exactly like Stephanie rushed forward and hugged Shuvi, squealing, "So cute!!! Who is this little darling?"
Her name was Corone Dola, Stephanie's ancestor.
Riku sounded nervous. "I found her on the way back, in a ruined village—"
"Don't tell me..." Corone spun around, a comical grin on her face, and made a cheeky gesture. "A bride?!"
"Bride?" Shuvi mimicked the gesture, puzzled by its meaning.
"Could you listen for once?" Riku's face was deadpan.
"Oh, come on~" Corone ignored him, jabbing Riku in the chest with her elbow, clearly delighted. "In times like these, first priority is babies, second is food, and three through five are more babies."
"Stop poking me..."
Riku sighed and waved Shuvi to quit counting on her fingers.
"What does that mean?" Shuvi asked, curious.
"You don't need to know," Riku muttered.
Corone smiled at the pair, then asked, "What's your name?"
Shuvi looked at her calmly. "Shuvi."
"Lovely name." Corone hugged her, stroking her hair. "How did you meet Riku?"
"..."
Watching, Riku's face clouded with worry.
"Shuvi..." She seemed to pause like a machine on standby, then dropped the bombshell: "Kissing and a request to reproduce—forced."
"..."
The room fell dead silent; everyone stared at Riku and Shuvi in shock. One middle-aged woman clapped her hands over her child—or maybe grandchild's—ears.
Outside the video, viewers blinked, then burst out laughing.
Technically true, but what a way to twist the facts.
She'd clearly been the one in control.
Riku backed away, sensing disaster. "No! That's not— I mean—!!"
"Riku." Corone's voice turned 'cold'; her smile was terrifyingly kind. "At least do that stuff after you get home!!!"
Smack!
A slap rang out.
Cut to Riku in his room, rubbing his cheek. "Couldn't you phrase it differently?"
"Differently?"
Shuvi picked her way across the cluttered floor.
"Forget it. Anyway..." Riku gave up. "Couldn't you look a bit older? If you're trying to seduce me, that'd help."
"..." Shuvi placed her hands on her chest. "This form matches Riku's ideal."
"I'm not into that!" Riku shot back.
He wasn't some creep who liked Little Girls.
"Then what form do you prefer?" Shuvi asked his back.
"Look..." He turned, exasperated. "Do you even understand what 'like' means?"
"I want to know what Riku likes," she said evenly.
Riku set out his food with a sigh. "You can't grasp hints without a heart—that's the point."
He lifted a knife to spear a potato; dinner time.
Shuvi blocked him, setting out a chessboard. "Play a game?"
"..." Riku stared flatly. "Pass. I played before because I had to. I don't have time for pointless games."
"What if it's not pointless?" Shuvi gazed at the board. "If you win, I'll give you information—why the Great War started, how it can end."
Riku's eyes were empty; he snorted. "Tempting, but I don't care, and I don't need to know."
"What I really want..."
He pointed his knife at her. "...is a way to survive today. That's all."
The potato slid off the blade onto the chessboard. Shuvi didn't flinch.
Riku went on, "I dragged you here for the Ex-machina race's knowledge—math, design tech. If I win, I get it."
"Understood." Shuvi nodded, eyeing the potato slice. "In current conditions, Human Race survival is anomalous."
"Even Ex-machina analysis can't explain it."
"..." Riku lifted his gaze, expression cooling.
Unperturbed, Shuvi continued, "Humans are fragile, civilization primitive, unable to wield Elemental power—yet they live. There must be a factor: inferred as the heart."
"Shuvi wishes to understand what a heart is..."
The scene flashed back: young Riku watching an Ex-machina soar overhead while a scorched corpse lay across him.
Riku turned—and the screen cut.
"Hey." Riku's voice shook with anger. "Are you kidding me?"
"Riku?" Shuvi blinked.
He clenched his fists. "You start wars on whims, rob us of everything, then spout nonsense."
"Tell us, Humans, why are you still alive? What secret lies in your hearts?"
Trembling, Riku raised his knife. "Fine! I'll tell you what's in my heart!!!"
The calm boy snapped, slamming Shuvi down; the blade stabbed the floor beside her head. "Since the day I was born—every last one of you can just die!!!"
At last, the others saw real emotion blaze in Riku's eyes.
Compared with the earlier Rick, the present Rick felt more like a living, breathing person.
"!"
Seeing this, Shuvi seemed startled as well.
Rick went on: "Do you know how many have died because of you?! How many were killed—how many lives I… abandoned."
Tears streamed down Rick's cheeks; Shuvi raised a hand, catching a drop. Calmly she said, "Rick is crying, therefore Shuvi must have said something unforgivable—so she deduces."
"Shuvi believes Rick's heart must want to kill her."
Silently Shuvi exposed her core. "If you stab here, Shuvi will die. We have no life; we simply shut down forever—irreparable, completely destroyed."
Unafraid of death, Shuvi lifted Rick's sword-hand, aimed it at her core, and said, "What Shuvi wishes to understand is Rick's heart."
"Therefore, if Rick's heart so desires, would you please kill Shuvi?"
"!!!!"
Looking at her, Rick drew a shaky breath; his tears fell onto Shuvi's face. Then he began: "Chad, Anton, Elma, Cory, Dell, Silyth, Ed, Darrel, Dib, Lax, Bin, Eric, Charlie."
"Rick?" Shuvi didn't understand why he was reciting so many names.
"Thompson, Shinta, Yang, Zaza, Zargo, Clay, Golo, Peter, Arthur, Morg, Jimmy, Dato."
"Sailo, Biki, Polly, Ken, Sabegi, Leroy, Bobo, Cotton, Luto, Sigley, Shiao, Wolf, Bart."
"Yasuo, Kenwood, Peyru, Yahad, Harwood, Barloff, Yarsi, Meimeigang, Karim, Ivan!!!!"
Gazing at Shuvi, Rick's hand quivered; his voice trembled. "Those forty-eight marched to their deaths because of my order. Of course the Great War killed them—erased like dust.
"But the one who ordered them to die… was me alone!!"
With that he drove the short-sword into the ground, crawled under the blanket, and hid.
"Rick…" Shuvi stared, momentarily at a loss.
Under the quilt Rick wept silently, anguished.
Watching him, Shuvi felt something stir; her pupils quivered as though she too sensed the pain.
Outside the video, in the No Game No Life World…
"Stephanie, do you know her?"
Inside the little inn the Blank Siblings watched the screen while Stephanie, stripped bare except for the barest scrap of dignity, stood before them; their expressions were subtly awkward.
The siblings couldn't shake the feeling that Stephanie resembled the video's Corone Dola in both looks and temperament.
Stephanie hastily replied, "Of course I know her—she's the founding queen of Elkia. No one ever saw her cry; brimming with wisdom and smiles, she guided the Human Race after the Great War ended… the pride of House Dola."
"Wait—no!!!!!"
Naked, Stephanie shouted at the siblings, "I came to ask why you knew she was cheating and didn't tell me!!
"If you'd just exposed it, I could've won!!!"
"…" Sora gave her a weary look. "Pact Eight: anyone caught cheating in a game is considered to have lost, remember?"
"Exactly!" Reverence for the queen aside, Stephanie clutched her half-exposed chest and wailed, "Thanks to you I lost completely—dropped out of the royal selection. It's over!"
"Yeah-yeah-yeah, not in the mood for your drama right now."
The Blank Siblings ignored her plight; normally Sora would already be scheming against the girl named Stephanie, but right now the footage fascinated them far more.
"You don't recognize the person beside her?" Sora asked, stroking his sister Shiro's hair. "She called herself big sister, you know."
"Impossible."
Stephanie shook her head, adamant. "Queen Corone has no little brother—"
Her voice, once firm, trailed off as she watched Queen Corone, Rick, and Shuvi on the screen.
She of course knew what the multiverse projection was.
She'd thought it a creation of the One True God, yet rumors claimed it had existed far longer than anyone imagined.
Even six thousand years ago, during the still-raging Great War, the multiverse projection had already been present.
Right now it had recommended two videos, each showing spectacular moments from various worlds' pasts or futures.
A pure-blood human, Stephanie had never imagined humans could become so powerful—nor that after death ordinary humans might wield strength enough to oppose creator-gods.
Fighting gods as mere mortals was beyond her imagination, yet in the projection the nation of Uruk had done exactly that.
Earlier the same video had shown her own defeat alongside the Blank Siblings and the Flügel Jibril, proving to Stephanie that these were scenes from the future.
What played now was a tally of the past—history she had never known.
"Silence."
Shiro glanced at the quiet Stephanie and muttered, "Looks like you've realized the history you knew isn't what you imagined."
"Pfft!"
An arrow dropped from the sky and stabbed into Stephanie—a sharp verbal jab from Shiro herself.
"Still, the gem's the same," Sora noted, eyes flicking to Stephanie's chest while recalling her earlier outfit.
At that time her dress had borne the very same gem Queen Corone wore.
Now, however, Stephanie had apparently lost that ancestral jewel in a bet.
"Pfft!"
Another arrow fell and struck her; a white soul escaped her mouth as though she were about to expire.
"Forget it, let's keep watching the video." The Blank Siblings, seeing Stephanie in this state, also planned to continue watching the video.
After all, the two of them wanted to see the final outcome for Riku and Shuvi. Given the current state of humanity, they had undoubtedly succeeded, but... where was the divine plot twist?
The video continued playing.
Corone poured water onto a stone, which quickly began to glow. She looked at the wooden door and spoke: "Riku, are you awake?! I'm sorry to bother you when you're so tired, but..."
Corone opened the door and froze for a moment at the scene inside.
Because Shuvi was currently straddling Riku, in a very ambiguous posture.
"Oh! Cowgirl position!!!!" Corone let out a strange cry, quickly slammed the door shut, and then slowly opened a crack to peek at the situation inside.
Riku narrowed his eyes, looking at Shuvi sitting on top of him, and said speechlessly, "Why are you sitting on me? Can you explain?"
Shuvi looked at Riku and said very calmly, "Riku said I must not leave your field of vision."
Riku said helplessly, "I meant as long as you don't leave my side."
Seeing Riku's helpless expression, Shuvi argued righteously, "Uninterpretable. Once your eyes are closed, there is no field of vision."
"What an interesting way to play~" Corone teased.
Riku raised his head and shouted at Corone, "It's not 'playing' at all!!!"
Corone's face flushed slightly as she gave a playful smile to Riku and Shuvi. "Don't be nervous, your big sister understands. Call me when you're finished, and I'll take Shuvi to bathe!"
With that, Corone prepared to close the door.
"Bathe... that!!!"
Riku suddenly became alert. Looking at Corone and Shuvi, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shuvi, on the other hand, seemed to understand something. She looked at Corone outside the door and said in a very calm tone, "Shuvi will not show her body to anyone but Riku."
Hearing this, Corone was shocked. "Oh my god!!! You've already... trained her!!"
!! Riku looked like he had a massive headache, covering his head and saying, "Corone, will you please shut up?"
However, Corone continued to chatter away. "I didn't expect my little brother to work so fast. I'll leave Shuvi to you then. I'm going to clear out the bathhouse first~~~"
After saying that, Corone closed the door.
Then the scene shifted slightly. In the bathhouse, Riku was cleaning Shuvi's body.
Shuvi slowly spoke up: "I'm sorry..."
"What?" Riku was a bit confused, not understanding why Shuvi was apologizing.
Shuvi continued slowly, "It is irrational for an aggressor to ask a victim about matters of the heart."
"Sigh." Riku let out a quiet sigh and said, "It's not irrational; it's called being insensitive."
Shuvi wagged her 'Tail' and said seriously, "Shuvi possesses neural conduction circuits."
Riku sighed again and said helplessly, "I didn't mean it like that. No... I was too emotional back then."
At this point, Riku also apologized; that previous scene was his fault.
Shuvi looked at Riku behind her and asked curiously, "Is that not allowed?"
"Well..." Riku said with some helplessness, "Getting angry and taking it out on you doesn't solve the problem."
"Does Riku want to hit Shuvi?" Shuvi's mood seemed a bit low.
"That was just a momentary outburst." Riku stroked Shuvi's hair and then said calmly, "No, I think... I don't understand myself anymore either."
"Riku, let's play a game."
Shuvi turned around, reached out, and pulled out a Chess set from her clothes.
Seeing this, Riku looked exceptionally helpless. "You even brought that here?"
Shuvi looked at the Chess set in her hands and said calmly, "The last time Riku smiled was when we played this."
"Ah?" Riku was slightly stunned. He looked at Shuvi with a look of surprise.
"So," Shuvi looked at Riku and said, "let's play a game."
"Shuvi wants to understand Riku's heart, but Shuvi does not want to hurt Riku, so I do not know what to do."
Looking at Shuvi like this, Riku finally voiced his doubt: "Why don't you want to hurt me? If you wanted to return to your cluster, you could easily defeat me and use other methods to understand the heart."
"Riku is right."
While Riku was speaking, Shuvi silently set up the Chess board and said calmly, "But Shuvi simply does not want to hurt Riku. Why?"
Hearing this 'why', Riku was momentarily stunned and asked in confusion, "Are you asking me?"
"Whir!!" The fans on Shuvi's head began to spin. She seemed to enter a certain state, her voice calm: "Listing possible answers. Cluster is irrelevant, no meaning, no connection, not accepted. Priority analysis: want to understand Riku's heart, want to stay by Riku's side."
*Poof! Poof! Poof!*
White smoke rose from Shuvi's head, her face immediately turned flushed, and her voice became somewhat cute: "Error! Error! Error! Error! Error! Error!!"
!!!!!!!!!
Seeing this, Riku looked a bit lost. He nudged Shuvi and said hurriedly, "Stop it quickly!!"
Eventually, Shuvi stopped. No more white smoke came from her head. She looked up at Riku, her pale cheeks tinged with pink, looking very cute.
Shuvi looked at Riku and said, "The conclusion is, I do not want to go back. It seems..."
"It seems?" Riku was puzzled, looking at Shuvi with confusion. This was the first time he had heard Shuvi speak like this.
Shuvi looked at Riku and continued, "Cannot determine the cause. But it is correct. Therefore, 'it seems'."
"Another 'it seems'?" Riku smiled slightly. He turned Shuvi back around and said helplessly, "How ambiguous."
Shuvi silently reached out, made a move, and said calmly, "Pawn to E2."
"At least let me go first." Riku looked at Shuvi with a helpless expression.
"Now it is your turn, Riku." Shuvi ignored him.
Riku continued, "I'm also helping you dry your hair. This isn't fair. By the way, why is it so long?"
Shuvi turned her head and looked at Riku calmly. "If you like it short, I can cut it."
"No need." Riku gave a rather gentle smile and continued, "It's fine like this. You really are hard to figure out."
"..."
Shuvi stopped talking now. She touched the hair on her forehead, as if thinking about something.
Outside the video.
Magical Girl Illya World.
"So! So sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Illya was clearly stimulated by this scene, although she felt part of it was quite 'embarrassing'.
Was this something an elementary school student like her should be watching? But looking at the dialogue between Shuvi and Riku now, even as an elementary student...
She could feel that the emotions between the human and the machine were rapidly heating up.
It was very sweet. As a pure Magical Girl, Illya felt this kind of emotion was simply wonderful; she loved this kind of feeling.
Ah~~~ how beautiful!
"Mm..."
Miyu nodded slightly, her face also turning a bit red. Although she personally felt that Riku and Shuvi were not the same entities as the Blank Siblings...
She couldn't help but wonder if she and her brother had been in a similar situation in the past.
And then after they died of old age, they became siblings or something.
The more she thought about it, the redder Miyu's face became, and a faint wisp of steam even appeared above her head.
Illya didn't notice this because she was completely absorbed in the video. This was too sweet~~~ Would they have children later?
Even though Shuvi was an Ex-machina race and made of machinery, weren't there gods in that world?
Let a god give Shuvi human-like reproductive organs, and then the two could live happily ever after, with sons and daughters later.
"Kyaa~~~~"
Just thinking about it made Illya exceptionally excited and thrilled. She watched the video with excitement; she was too excited and couldn't wait to see Shuvi and Riku start dating!!!
She was so excited! This kind of love! It directly made her, an elementary school student, fall for it.
The last time she was this excited was... the last time!
Detective Conan World.
Kudo Shinichi was also touched by the sweetness. Watching the dialogue and daily life of Riku and Shuvi, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, and he even squirmed under his blanket.
Like a maggot, but anyone seeing this scene would have an 'auntie smile' on their face.
Because no matter how you looked at it, except for the slight 'race' issue, Riku and Shuvi were truly a perfect match in every other way.
To put it simply, they were a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Anyone who dared to object should have their head bashed in.
"Although this isn't the kind of inventory I usually like, watching this type of plot is good for physical and mental well-being."
After watching for a few minutes, Kudo Shinichi already more or less understood. The story told in No Game No Life Zero probably wasn't the mystery-solving type he wanted to see.
But even if it wasn't a mystery, it was fine to watch it as a way to gain knowledge. Besides, it looked so healing; it was good for relaxing the mind.
Although there might be some kind of plot twist later, such a twist would probably be a 'victory twist'.
Like Shuvi and Riku encountering some unprecedented, impossible difficulty in saving humanity, and then the two working together to successfully overcome it and lead humanity toward a new future.
Kudo Shinichi had already planned out the plot; he was just waiting for Shuvi and Riku to play it out.
Thinking this, the figure of his childhood friend, Ran Mouri, involuntarily appeared in his mind. Tonight, he was going to the amusement park with her.
Should he make some preparations? Like giving her a surprise when they were there.
And he wondered if he would encounter any cases tonight. He hoped he wouldn't run into any.
Kudo Shinichi also wanted to have a peaceful time playing with his childhood friend, rather than a case appearing on the scene right after they started.
Sometimes Kudo Shinichi really would complain about why it was always like this, with cases always surrounding him.
Sigh~ perhaps this is the trouble of being the heisei holmes, being entangled in countless cases every day. It's impossible not to improve~
The video continued playing.
A year later, Shuvi and Riku had been together for a year.
Riku was looking at a map, his expression slightly serious. He held a quill as if planning to write something, but at that moment Shuvi walked over and said, "Riku."
Shuvi reached out, holding a blueprint in her hand. She looked at Riku calmly and said, "The blueprint for the Pocket Telescope is complete."
"Again?" Riku was a bit helpless; clearly, this wasn't the first or second time. He said helplessly, "But I didn't win that game of Chess."
Shuvi looked at Riku and said calmly, "Riku seemed to really want it. Shuvi can tell."
"Eh?"
Riku looked surprised.
Then Shuvi turned her gaze to the map in front of Riku and said curiously, "Is this where we met?"
"Yeah, it is." Riku nodded slightly, propping his cheek with his hand as he looked at Shuvi. "That place feels a bit off. I'm curious, but it's too far to go on foot."
"..."
Shuvi fell silent briefly. Then in the next shot, Riku was dropped onto the ground. He complained, "You really are a practical machine, Shuvi."
"Did you notice?"
Riku explained to Shuvi, "Almost the entire building was destroyed, but the bottom floor here hasn't been damaged at all."
"It's the Elf Race," Shuvi explained in a calm tone. "Their defensive magic."
"But everything else was destroyed. Why not here?"
As Riku spoke, Shuvi seemed to find something. She pushed away the petals on the ground, revealing a door, and answered calmly, "Perhaps this place is important. For example, an Elf Race shelter might be here, or even something more valuable."
As the door was opened, Shuvi and Riku walked downward.
Seeing the scene before them, Shuvi's voice rang out again, calm as ever: "A research and development facility for new weapons."
"Whir!!!"
After descending underground, what appeared before Shuvi and Rick was a spacious hall.
At the center stood several massive pillars side by side.
The pillars twisted in strange ways, their surfaces engraved with countless crimson patterns.
To both Shuvi and Rick, the sight was nothing short of shocking.
It was a weapon neither had ever seen before—something completely unfamiliar.
