Chapter 104: A New World! No Game... No Life!
Saint Seiya World.
Beneath the Bodhi tree, Shaka opened his eyes for the first time and looked toward the screen.
An invisible Cosmos spread outward, causing space to tremble and the River of Time to ripple.
"Not bad."
Shaka spoke calmly.
Although this power was insignificant in the grand scheme of things, at the very least, it was enough.
For these two to come this far was already a small miracle.
Pokémon World.
High above the skies, Arceus gazed at the Star Grail.
Within it lay unimaginable power.
He could feel that it was capable of allowing him to evolve to an inconceivable level.
Dragon Ball World.
Frieza's eyes filled with overwhelming greed.
He had seen countless treasures throughout his conquests, but this Star Grail was different.
It absolutely had to belong to him.
He even had the feeling that if he could obtain it, the so-called Super Saiyan would no longer be worth fearing.
Naruto World.
A trace of emotion flashed through Madara Uchiha's eyes.
Even an ordinary human had reached this point.
If that was possible, then what was impossible about his dream?
As long as one continued walking toward their goal, there would always be hope.
No Game No Life World.
Sora could barely contain his excitement.
They had succeeded!
A mere human had truly changed the world.
If that was possible, then what right did the higher races have to look down on humanity?
At that moment, Sora's confidence soared.
He became absolutely convinced that he could defeat every superior race in future games and eventually challenge that tiny god himself.
Bathed in the radiance of the Star Grail, Riku silently stared at it.
How many lives had been sacrificed for this moment?
How many of Schwi's people?
How many others?
There was no joy in his eyes.
Instead, overwhelming pain filled his heart.
"How many people..."
"How many people died?"
"I deceived myself."
"I even took advantage of Schwi's feelings."
"Absolutely... absolutely not..."
"This cannot be considered victory!"
Riku let out a hoarse cry and stretched out his remaining hand toward the Star Grail.
Yet just as his fingertips were about to touch it—
The sudden turn stunned everyone.
Victory was right there.
Only one final step remained.
Yet that final step had become an uncrossable abyss.
A human body could never truly overcome everything.
Edward Elric murmured quietly.
His eyes were filled with sadness.
"So in the end..."
Even after all this...
they still failed.
Could he really reclaim everything he had lost from the Gate?
Crack!
Riku's body began collapsing.
He had failed.
After coming this far... he had still failed.
Looking at the ring buried deep in his palm, tears streamed down his face.
He laughed madly through the tears.
"Schwi..."
"Compared to you..."
"I lost again."
"Schwi..."
"If we had another chance..."
"Next time..."
"Next time..."
As the surging energy consumed him, his body gradually disintegrated.
Yet he no longer cared.
"If a loser like me is too filthy to steal the Star Grail..."
"If these hands are too unworthy to touch a god..."
"Then please..."
"At least tell me that everything we did had meaning."
"Anyone is fine."
"As long as someone can end this war..."
"Let them possess the Star Grail."
"If..."
"If gods truly are born from emotion..."
"Then although my life resisted humanity..."
"My heart resisted everything."
"This is my only wish."
"Please..."
At that moment, countless viewers lowered their heads.
They could barely continue watching.
Riku's despair and sorrow were suffocating.
This world was simply too cruel.
It gave people hope.
Then possibility.
Then crushed everything with its own hands.
Suddenly—
a voice echoed through the heavens.
Everyone froze.
Within the endless sea of energy...
Within Riku's final despair...
A transparent figure appeared behind him.
The figure walked past him and stood where the Star Grail rested.
Then, before everyone's eyes, the transparent body gradually became solid.
It was a young boy.
He wore a red cap and clothes decorated with playing card suits.
A crimson heart adorned his chest.
The God of Games—Tet—had appeared.
No Game No Life World.
Every superior race felt the same thought emerge.
He really existed?
But they quickly shook their heads.
Impossible.
If the God of Games had always existed, Riku would never have suffered so much.
Which meant—
Tet had truly been born from Riku's will and conviction.
And that completely shattered the established law that gods could only be born from concepts.
Countless viewers across countless worlds realized the same thing.
What kind of willpower could accomplish such a feat?
Riku's vision grew increasingly blurred.
Yet for the first time, joy appeared on his face.
As his dying brain produced one final thought—
"So... you really did exist..."
"Then..."
"If we play again someday..."
"Schwi and I..."
"We'll definitely win."
With that final thought, Riku turned into dust.
Tet quietly accepted the challenge.
Then he took hold of the Star Grail.
Soft white light exploded from his body.
The dying planet was reborn.
The eternal storm clouds vanished.
Life once again flourished across the devastated land.
Blue skies returned.
Boundless forests spread across the earth.
Fish leaped from the seas.
Birds filled the skies.
The fifteen races stood speechless as they gazed upon this beautiful world.
It felt as though the previous age of destruction had been nothing but a nightmare.
"It's over..."
"The eternal war is over!"
"So this is the power of humanity?"
"Unbelievable!"
At that moment—
countless people found a faith they would never abandon.
This couple had truly transformed an infinitely close-to-zero possibility into reality.
Within a world without reason...
without rules...
they had created a miracle.
Fuyuki City.
Artoria Pendragon's eyes glistened.
For the first time, a smile appeared on her face.
The greatness of humanity.
The greatness of courage.
Human history itself was a hymn to bravery.
This was the conviction she had always believed in.
At that moment, Tet's voice echoed across the sky.
"Not created by any god."
"Not expected by anyone."
"Not chosen by anyone."
"The nameless beings who evolved from beasts, stood upon two legs, and gained wisdom."
"To such people..."
"In the name of the One True God..."
"I grant a title."
"The Sixteenth Race—Imanity."
The next moment, Tet raised the Star Grail toward the heavens.
It transformed into light and vanished into the blue sky.
"Inheriting the will of the fallen..."
"I swear upon the Ten Covenants."
"First: All killing, war, and robbery are forbidden in this world."
"Second: All disputes shall be resolved through games."
"Third: In games, both parties must wager something of equal value."
"Fourth: So long as it does not violate the Third Covenant, the content of the game may be freely decided."
"Fifth: The challenged party has the right to determine the rules of the game."
"Sixth: All wagers made under the Covenants must be honored."
"Seventh: Groups shall appoint a representative with full authority."
"Eighth: Any cheating discovered during a game results in immediate defeat."
"Ninth: In the name of God, the previous rules are absolute."
"Tenth..."
Tet looked down at all life upon the continent and grinned brightly.
"Let's all play together peacefully!"
"From this day forward..."
"The world has changed!"
"Now then..."
"Let the games begin!"
Outside the screen, Sora stared in silence.
For the first time in his life, he saw a future beyond himself.
This time...
In the world of games...
He absolutely would not lose.
