The sky was blackened by death-scented smoke and dust, and lightning and thunder thundered from time to time in the dark clouds. The scorched earth of www.biquge.info burned and screamed, and crimson lava surged and rose in the cracks that filled almost the entire continent.

On this continent, which has been completely destroyed, no longer allows for the existence of any life.

However, in such a scorched black earth overflowing with the breath of death, there are two people who are very unusual at first glance.

A dark-haired man mopped the floor, and a firm will was lodged in his golden eyes.

A black robe covered his body, his face, hands and feet were covered by darkness, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Syllable.

The black-robed man snapped his fingers, and two white European-style chairs suddenly appeared on the charred black ground. The two whites that suddenly appeared looked so conspicuous in this scorched black, but they did not feel abrupt, as if they had been there before.

"Sit down. The black-robed man sat down first, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal to the long-haired man. Perhaps because he didn't want to reveal his identity, the black-robed man's voice sounded like a computer-synthesized voice, and the screaming chicken-like voice sounded ridiculous.

After the black-robed man spoke, the long-haired man did not sit down directly, but stared at the black-robed man with a slight frown.

"Sit down, and don't forget that you're the master of this place now. The black-robed man said again.

Hearing this, the long-haired man finally sat down slowly.

Syllable.

Another snap of the fingers. This time it was a white porcelain black teacup with gold trim and an equally white potbelly teapot. After filling the two cups, the teapot shattered, turning into a myriad of aqua-blue butterflies outlined in simple lines and flying away, then vanished.

Looking at the scattered butterflies, the long-haired man was thoughtful.

"Don't look at it, I have nothing to do with the Butterflye family. After taking a sip of black tea, the black-robed man saw through the long-haired man's thoughts.

“......”

“...... I want to urge you for everything. I repeat, now you are the master here. Seeing the long-haired man staring at him, the black-robed man said.

After "......" was said to this point, the long-haired talent finally took the cup of black tea floating in mid-air.

"Tell me if you want something else. I can also help you switch to Coke if you want. As he spoke, the black-robed man pulled out a packet of potato chips from the air.

"......," the long-haired man silently took a sip of tea. The right temperature, relaxing aroma, and familiar smell make long-haired people look nostalgic.

As if he had been waiting for this moment, the black-robed man who saw the long-haired man's expression snickered twice, and there was a hint of conspiracy in the laughter.

Although it was empty, it was also surprisingly silent, so the laughter of the black-robed man clearly reached the ears of the long-haired man.

“......”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I apologize. Seeing the long-haired man glaring at him, the black-robed man simply apologized, but his voice was full of laughter.

“......”

“......”

Silent.

"I see, it's boring. Succumbing to the long-haired man's gaze attack, the black-robed man made a move.

Throwing the teacup back, the black-robed man clapped his hands. The teacups shattered, and the pale blue butterflies swayed and fluttered, forming an aqua blue light curtain. I saw the light curtain flickering, and three petite maids who were less than a meter tall and had bat wings behind them walked out of it. With the same appearance and the same hair color, the only difference between the three cute maids is the color of the eyes.

"Master~" "Master. "Master!"

The lively three little maids instantly pounced on the black-robed man and coquettishly with a cute voice. The black-robed man stroked their heads one by one as he gave the task.

"Well, you three, go and help me set up the box court chessboard. ”

"Yes!" the three little ones suddenly came to their senses when they heard this.

Reluctantly leaving the body of their dear master, the three little maids held hands in a circle and stood between the two who were sitting facing each other. Their eyes closed as they focused, and the pale blue particles began to concentrate on their hands, building a large and complex technique.

The long-haired man's eyes widened when he saw this.

"You're wondering why they're still able to gather the elementals when the world has been destroyed, right?" the black-robed man smirked.

The long-haired man was silent in affirmation.

"I don't tell you, think about this little thing for yourself. ”

“......”

Pale blue elemental particles weave new laws that did not exist in this world, and the huge and complex spells covered the entire continent in an instant after unfolding, dyeing the sky that was originally billowing with smoke a pale blue.

Seeing this, the long-haired man finally couldn't sit still. The shock in his heart could not be suppressed, and his face was exposed. The huge technique floating overhead was no longer something that could be understood with common sense.

The thirteenfold realm of fate is the highest state that can be attained by the life that lives in this world. In other words, no matter how strong a practitioner is, all he can do is use thirteen techniques at the same time. If this power is used well, it is not difficult to evaporate a mountain in an instant.

However, the large and small spells that floated above the long-haired man's head added up to at least hundreds of thousands. This kind of extraordinary thing makes the long-haired man not be surprised.

"Sit down, don't be so surprised. You've climbed to the god now, and anyone can do this kind of thing with a little time. ”

“...... Who the hell are you?" Suppressing the shock, the long-haired man spat out the words.

"It's all good, it doesn't matter who I am. If you really want to know, then think of me as a kind person passing by. The black-robed man said, his brisk tone allowing people to imagine the expression under the black robe.

Although the "......" was still difficult to accept, the long-haired man still sat down. As the black-robed man said, its identity doesn't matter at all. Now it's important to ......

The huge magic in the sky sprinkled pale white particles, which converged on the heads of the three little maids, gradually forming something like a chessboard.

Finally, the spell was completed, and the huge spell floating overhead dispersed, and a huge chessboard floated in the air between the two. Eight times eight, sixty-four squares, black and white, there is no doubt that this is a chessboard.

Exhausted, the three little maids pounced on their master, wanting to be complimented. The black-robed man stroked their heads one by one, signaling that they were doing a great job.

In this regard, the long-haired man just watched, waiting for the black-robed man to answer.

After the coquettishness was finished, the three little maids reacted as if they had noticed the black-robed man sitting opposite. With small steps, the three of them trotted to the long-haired man.

"Are you the opponent of the master in this game?" "Now, why is your hair so long?" "Can I touch you?"

"......" The long-haired man looked at the black-robed man with some trouble. And the black-robed man was snickering at the moment, looking at the good show being staged in front of him.

"Now, you speak. "Why don't you speak?" "Aren't you dumb?"

The "......" long-haired man has a headache, and the last thing this person is good at is coping with this kind of thing.

"Ah, by the way, is it because we haven't introduced ourselves yet?" "Is that because of this?" "What a blind person......" After all, the three of them still stood honestly in a row.

"I'm Xiaoxi!" the little girl with crimson eyes was the first to make an introduction, holding the hem of her skirt in both hands and making a non-formal salute.

"I'm Xiaofei. "The second is the girl with lilac eyes, her personality is obviously a little calmer than Xiaoxi, but she is still very active.

"I'm Xiaoya......" Finally, there is a girl with aqua blue eyes, her personality should be the calmest of the three, which can be seen from her eyes.

After introducing themselves, the three looked at the long-haired man with golden eyes with anticipation.

"......" sighed inwardly, and the long-haired man made a compromise.

“...... I'm ......."

"Okay three of you, stop making trouble, come back quickly. The black-robed man interrupted the long-haired man's self-introduction and called the three little ones back to his side. Because it was the master's order, the three little ones had to reluctantly return to the master.

"I'll introduce this guy, this guy's name, just call her Lilium. "The black-robed man gave the long-haired man a name without permission.

"It's called Lilium!" "Is that what it is?" "What, it's so ordinary......"

The three little ones reacted differently, but if they had to react violently, I am afraid that the three of them together would not be as fierce as this so-called Lilium.

Lilium slammed up from her chair and glared at the black-robed man with an angry expression.

"Don't be like this, the name is just a code name, and I'm a god, it's not strange to know this kind of thing~" The black-robed man waved his hand.

Lilium's face was unacceptable, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what the black-robed man said.

"Alright then, I'll give you my name too. ...... Wow, it's nerve-wracking, which name should I use? The black-robed man who said this looked a little stupid.

"Narrator......" The black-robed man spat out three words that really couldn't be called names.

"......" Lilium looked at the black-robed man, waiting for further explanation.

"It's my profession, you can call me that. Because I'm not going to tell you my name. As he spoke, the narrator scratched his head, as if he was trying to pretend to be cute.

"Your name is fine, what about the one you said you would like?" Lilium was a little impatient.

"Wow! It's too much! You're too good! I'm hurting! I don't want to help you!" the narrator waved his limbs in his chair, as if he were crying and rolling.

"It's too much, it's too much!" "Huh?" "It's too much...... the three little ones also screamed, but it was still a question mark whether they understood what was going on.

“......”

“...... Forget it, it looks like I'm stupid. The narrator returned to his senses and put his hand on the chessboard.

"Again, it's a game. And I decided to help you on a whim, so you have to play according to the rules I set in this game. No problem, right?"

Lilium nodded.

"The start is over and you're trying to play a little bit as well. The rule is like I said, you can't directly interfere with the actions of the person you choose, the only thing you can do is project a fleeting image into the mind of the person you choose, give them a warning, and try to avoid the future you don't want to see. As soon as you interfere too much, I will simply end the game and collect your Divine Essence. ”

"But...... Is it really good to set up the opening like that? I gave myself a 10-year time limit for the first time, and I won't let you do it a second time, right?"

After listening to these rules, which she had already heard once, a wry smile appeared on Lilium's lips.

"It doesn't matter, the world will be destroyed by those debris in the twelfth year anyway. At this, Lilium's eyes lit up with hatred, and her teeth rattled.

"All I have to do is stop the shell of this world from being opened and protect those I have to protect. ”

"That's it. The narrator made another cup of black tea, took a sip and casually agreed. It seems that everything Lilium says has nothing to do with it.

"It's almost time, let's get started. The narrator put down the tea, stretched out his right hand from his robe, and placed it on the chessboard. It was a small, fair, soft-looking right hand.

Lilium held out her right hand, but for some reason she paused abruptly and extended her left hand instead. Placed on the board is a white, delicate left hand with slender fingers.

On the ring finger of that left hand, there were two rings that had been slightly twisted.

One was a silver ring engraved with a rose, and the man who gave it to Lilium played tricks on her more than anyone else.

"You like me, don't you?" she always said, snickering at Lilyum's flushed face.

One was a silver ring with no pattern on the surface, and the man who gave it to Lilium was more honest than anyone else.

"I want to make you happier than anyone else. On the night of the union, she spoke the vows in Lilium's ear.

And the rose will eventually wither, and after a short period of happiness is endless despair.

Thinking of the figure that was emaciated little by little in his arms until he disappeared, and then thinking of the figure of grief and despair that held the crystallization of so-called love, Lilium's eyes became firm again.

With everything in mind, the narrator chuckled.

"Alright, let's start the game. ”
