Nothing was said all night.

Magnolia residents, who had been evacuated urgently, returned home one after another, and for these ordinary people, the war was over. Although this time there was a lot of trouble and they also suffered some losses, the two shadows that had hung over their heads for a long time suddenly disappeared, and the future was bright.

What's more, the residents of Magnolia City were not actually harmed, and even their houses were not broken, at most they were quite frightened. But for Magnolians, the scare is nothing at all—the daily routine of being a neighbor with Fairy Tail is much more exciting than that!

Optimism, open-mindedness, and coarse nerves are the collective character of the city. Without the need for a deliberate guide, the whole city spontaneously held a carnival to celebrate their return to the park safe and sound.

The only thing that is different from the past is that there is no fairy tail in this city-wide gala. The guild building in the city, though brightly lit, was silent. In order to prevent anyone from disturbing their rest, Fillid set up a special technique to make ordinary people ignore the guild.

For the elves, the battle is not over yet, and the truly harsh war may have just begun.

Although the people in the carnival celebration unconsciously ignored the fairy tail, they also vaguely felt that something seemed to be missing this time, and they always felt that the atmosphere of the scene could not reach the height of their memory.

Sure enough, without Fairy Tail and Natsu's energetic bunch, the fiery level of the carnival would have been discounted.

It was not until the early hours of the next morning that calm gradually returned to the city, and people fell asleep tiredly.

In the darkest hours before dawn, the gate of the fairy tail was pushed open, and the elves swarmed around Woz and walked straight out of the city.

On the outskirts of the city, due to the ravages of the former desert king Aguirre, there are still large areas of sandy beaches, and the terrain is much flatter than before, which means that there is a bit of endless meaning.

So, when the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.

The chess players are already waiting for them here. Unlike Woz's large group of demons, there are only four people around him, Nono, Qingshan, Val and Zhang Xuqian, and he seems a bit lonely - if the two sides tear their faces and fight in groups, the chess players will definitely suffer a big loss.

But it didn't seem like he had any intention of continuing to fight Woz. In the area between the two sides, a pair of elaborate tables and chairs are set up, which seem out of place with the surrounding desolate landscape.

I saw the chess player say something to Nono beside him, and then walked forward alone. Woz understood what he meant, and reached out to stop his companions, and walked up alone.

"Woz!" Mira Jenny suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Woz turned around and nodded: "Don't worry, it seems that we can't fight." Also, I'll come back with victory. ”

Woz and the chess player walked to the edge of the table and sat down. There is no imaginary "decisive battle", but it is like a peace talk.

But everyone knows that the real chess game has begun - from this moment on, there is an invisible force or "will" that prevents outsiders from intervening.

Only the chess pieces and Mira Jenny were not affected by the exclusion, but they did not rush forward. Because the two players decided to go head-to-head one-on-one.

Looking at the items already placed on the table, Woz looked at the other party unexpectedly: "This is the way you chose to fight the battle......?" It's your style!"

"You can laugh at me as much as you want, but I've decided that this way I have to decide the winner. The chess player calmly said, "I'm tired of playing and killing, so it's better to make the so-called chess game pure." ”

On the table in front of the two of them, there was a chess game that had been set up - the so-called decisive battle of the chess players was just to play a game of chess with Woz.

Woxz smiled freely: "It seems that you have been hit really hard this time...... However, I don't object to this way that no one will get hurt. ”

"If you agree, that's good. The chess player calmed down and sat down, "Then now, the game begins." You hold the white seed, please take the lead. ”

This is the final game between the two, the final chapter of the third generation of chess games. The seemingly disheartened and distracted chess player, and the scarred and exhausted Woz, choose to make a break in this most ordinary way.

"Speaking of which, this seems like the first time we've sat together so calmly, right?" Wadsz took the lead, "A few times before, even the alliance had to calculate against each other. ”

"It seems that you have indeed studied well, and this chess move is quite level. "The chess player did not hesitate to make a move and chose to attack head-to-head.

"The chessboard, the chess pieces and the rules, the so-called chess game is nothing more than these three elements. As long as you master these, it is not difficult to learn. Woz shrugged and pointed to his eyes, "Although you are a chess player, you can't take advantage of this kind of chess game. I can easily see through this simple chess game, and even if I use exhaustive moves, I can deduce the best chess move. ”

The player raised his eyelids and glanced at them, then calmly lowered his head to concentrate on the game.

"So, how much more have you seen through the big chess game we are in?"

Woz's movements paused, then quickly recovered and continued to fall.

The duel was just ordinary chess, and there was no difficulty for the two of them. As Woltz said, even the exhaustive method can deduce the final ending, so they play rapid chess, with little time to think, one step at a time, and go fast.

"They...... Is it a game of chess?" The goblins watching from a distance looked at that side in amazement, this was too far from the "decisive battle" they imagined, right?

But at the same time, they were also relieved in their hearts - after all, in this way, there would be no tragedy anyway, so it was fine.

On the other end, Nono and the others obviously knew about the project of the decisive battle for a long time, so they have always been very calm.

The chess game continued, and Demon Tail and Balance watched quietly from the side, waiting for the last moment to come.

Soon, the chessboard had reached the endgame, and the chess player suddenly slowed down the pace, played with the chess pieces in his hand, and sighed leisurely: "The world is cruel, and the gods are ruthless." I thought it was going to be a great game, but in the end, it was just an endless and meaningless fight. ”

Wolds responded: "War is a zero-sum game, but chess games are not. In all board games, there is often a tie. ”

"Oh, is what you're looking for is a win-or-lose draw?"

Woz pointed to the board: "I mean, if we go on like this, this game will be a draw." ”

Indeed, neither side made a mistake and both took the best way to solve the game, so in the end it could only be a close draw. But apparently, this result is not what they wanted.

In order to face off with the gods next, Woz and the chess player must decide the winner.

"Speaking of which, our god sister's concept of victory and defeat also seems to be quite unique. "For her, there should be only two outcomes of a game – 'won' or 'not won'." So against her, even if it's a draw, we should be considered a winner, right?"

At the moment of the move, the chess player deviated slightly by one square and took an imperfect move.

"Because of the strength of my mother civilization, no matter what the outcome of this chess game is, even if the world collapses in the end, I will not be harmed, and they ......" Qi pointed to the four chess pieces behind him, "As my subordinates, I can also ensure safety after the chess game." But Woz, you seem to have a lot of people to care about. ”

The chess player pointed to the demon tail group again: "Because of this, our strategic goals were different from the beginning. I don't have a burden, so all I have to think about is how to win over the gods. You're thinking about how to be undefeated, so it seems that you're better suited to battle the gods with a better chance of winning. ”

As they spoke, the movements of the two of them did not slow down, but accelerated all the way to the end. Due to the previous "wrong" move, in the end, Woz narrowly checked his opponent to death and won the game.

The first time he lost on the chessboard, the chess player did not regret it too much, but as if he had put down a heavy burden, he breathed a long sigh of relief, pushed the chessboard and stood up, stretched his body and stretched hard.

"Well, the rest is up to you. Throwing down such a sentence, the chess player turned around and left freely, and led his chess pieces to open the space door and return directly to the headquarters.

"Only win or lose, not life and death, this ...... It's the real chess game. The chess player sighed.
