In a cave, the surrounding water glows with light produced by a special ore. Riku was still wearing tattered clothes because he was influenced by Kainas, and sat on the stone bench restlessly in his heart.
But he is not alone. In this cave, there is another "ghost" chosen by Riku. He asks them to rest in another cave. He wanted to be alone here in peace.
All of them had no arms or legs, but luckily no one died.
The elixir given by Wu Ming was truly efficacious, and everyone did not suffer from blemishes or skin festering from the black ash, yet everyone still experienced the phenomenon of losing hands and feet.
The "ghosts" are not always smeared with black and gray, but only when they arrive at their destination and begin their mission.
This means that everyone does not have black and gray on their bodies when they are on the road.
Not to mention the hidden monsters on the mainland, other people who are alone or hiding in the "ghost" path, accidentally found one other "ghost" race, which is enough to give a deadly "ghost", 1plus the dangerous geographical environment, "ghosts" only lost arms and legs, and there were no casualties. This is truly a miracle.
"This is the possibility of humanity, but in the face of absolute power, we humans are still too weak." Thinking of everyone's efforts, Riku said self-deprecatingly.
Riku had returned to this fortress ever since he was sent back to the Lucia Continent by Wu Ming.
However, Riku's luck wasn't so good, he ran into a Flügel on the way back.
....
(How is that possible!? Didn't the Flügel fight with the two powers of elves and dwarves!?) Riku was stunned at that.
With no smudges of black and ash, his human identity had long been seen by the Flügel, and now, Riku was ready to die.
"Oh~ special human~ The feeling of seeing death is like home, are you ready to die~"
Since his right arm was missing, Riku took out a dagger with his left hand and stared at the Flügel in front of him as if he were dead.
Even though Riku used the knife with his left hand, it didn't affect him much.
To survive in such a world, it was necessary to master the use of weapons with both hands.
"Good eye, looks like I can get a good trophy today." Flugel smiled.
As Riku, who was very familiar with other races, he naturally knew that the trophy the Flügel was talking about was the head.
"Well~ I happen to have something to do now, so I'll lay your head on your neck first." Flügel smiled happily like a joke, then flew into the sky and left here.
Immediately after, Riku slumped to the ground.
...
Recalling the experience when he returned, although Riku didn't know why the other party wanted to let him go, it was the most important thing for him to be safe.
"I don't know what happened to Vero..." Riku started to worry again.
What was the opinion of the woman who took his arm before was not easy to mess with, not to mention that Wu Ming still called her Kainas, although Riku didn't know if it was the real Kainas, he knew was that the enemy wasn't easy to mess around with.
"The planet's core has indeed been penetrated, and Suniaster must also be freed. Then last night's violent shaking of the planet's crust, did Old Deus fight over Suniaster?" Riku frowned.
Riku saw the scene where the center of the planet was stabbed, but he didn't see who got the Suniaster.
Because of that, Riku guessed that the previous crustal shake was caused by the Old Deus competing for Suniaster.
Riku was actually right to think so, Wu Ming and Suniaster consciousness were indeed fighting for their lives to fight each other, and whoever won had to get Suniaster.
"However, if I think about it carefully, it is also beneficial for humans. No matter if Suniaster falls into the hands of that god, the war will naturally end…"
However, Riku immediately shook his head.
"Old Deus who cannot ensure the safe life of humans, possessing a Suniaster is equivalent to giving humanity an unprecedented catastrophe." Riku sighed helplessly.
"I can only rely on you, god from another world."
After all, Riku dared to do it under the eyes of a god, and he really didn't dare to take anything from a god.
It must be said that it is impossible to seize it.
Humans without power can only lead the end of war. If humans really had the power to change the outcome of war, then humans wouldn't be where they are today.
"I am truly honored then, Riku."
Suddenly, a Wu Ming voice appeared within the cave.
"God..." Riku looked at the source of the voice excitedly, but the voice suddenly stopped.
It wasn't because of Wu Ming, but because of the Flügel following him.
And it was the only Flügel that had only saved himself before.
In an instant, Riku had countless doubts in his heart.
Why is there a Flugel behind Vero? Wasn't the Flügel a subordinate of the war god Artosh? Could it be that Gods Vero and Artosh have united...
Many doubts filled Riku's heart. Seeing Riku's constantly changing eyes, Wu Ming easily guessed his thoughts.
"Artosh is dead and defeated by me."
Wu Ming's words shocked Riku.
Being able to defeat the most powerful God of War in this world didn't mean that this God from another world was stronger than that God of War.
"Then the Flugel behind you is…" Riku looked at Jibril who kept on smiling.
"Now, the Flügel has defected to my orders." He said something that made Riku uneasy.
"What!?"
"Let's put it this way, just think of it as the reward I got for defeating the last BOSS." Wu Ming looked at Riku with a smile.
"How can there be such a reward for defeating the Demon King and subjugating the Demon King army?" Riku roared and complained.
"Forget it, don't talk about it." Riku rubbed his head like a headache, then looked at Wu Ming seriously.
"Suniaster… how?"
After hearing Riku's words, Wu Ming smiled slightly, and then a golden ripple appeared by his side.
Jibril, who saw the golden ripples for the first time, showed interest and looked at the golden ripples curiously.
Wu Ming stretched his hand in and out again.
In an instant, the cave, which was originally dark even with the light of the ore, became as bright as outside.
The reason for that was the goblet-shaped object in Wu Ming's hand, which emitted boundless light.
Without a doubt, this is Suniaster.
Jibril and Riku stared at the cup in shock. It is a symbol of planetary ownership. Even though neither of them had the idea of becoming the ruler of the planet, they couldn't help but care about Suniaster.
It is very beautiful. This was Riku's first thought.
Riku was deeply immersed in Suniaster's warm brilliance, and he didn't speak for a long time.
