Turning his head and speaking his last words to the world, Ivan suddenly threw off his tattered cloak, ran forward with all his might, and shouted:
"Your prey is here! Come on, demon species!"
"boom!"
In the blink of an eye, a giant centipede about twenty to thirty meters long fell from the sky and completely swallowed Iwan's body.
Rick and Yale also took the opportunity to escape from the ruins, and in their grief and unwillingness, they got a chance to survive in exchange for Ivan's sacrifice.
Chapter 446: "No Game No Life Zero" is released! (V)
Chapter 446
In major cinemas across the human empire.
Seeing the first plot of the movie "No Game No Life Zero" slowly ending, all the audience fell silent at this moment.
After all, in the plot of the movie, whether it is the gradual unfolding of the world view itself, the calmness of the protagonists and others when facing the terrible demons, and finally Ivan's choice to sacrifice himself to allow Rick and Yare to survive, all shocked the audience so much that they were speechless for a while.
"This is too tragic. When that terrifying creature called the demon species appeared just now, I couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over my body. I thought I was going to die."
"It's the same for me. I know it's fake, just something on the screen, but I still can't help but feel the fear from the bottom of my heart."
"By the way, didn't the movie just explain the worldview?"
"It seems that there are eleven powerful races in this world, and they are at war with each other. The world has become like this ruin because of the wars between the powerful races."
"Eleven powerful races? The world in the movie "No Game No Life Zero" is too dangerous. How can a human like the protagonist survive in such an environment?"
"From the calmness shown by the protagonists when they saw the demons, it is clear that they are already familiar with these powerful races. Therefore, although they cannot resist, they should be able to hide. Moreover, Ivan and Riku realized that the only choice they could make at the time was just a glance, which means that the human race before was able to survive by constantly sacrificing."
"Continuous sacrifice... This is too cruel..."
"There is no way, and the reality is actually more cruel than the story."
"How did we survive in this world in the past? I remember that before the establishment of our human empire, we also lived in a chaotic era."
"The sacrifices made when the empire was first established cannot be summed up in words."
"It is impossible for the weak to survive in this world without making sacrifices."
"… "
After watching the beginning of the movie, most of the audience were already familiar with the main theme of the film, and as they discussed it one by one, their expressions became more and more serious.
Because anyone can see that this movie called "No Game No Life Zero" is obviously not intended to tell a beautiful story.
…
At the same time, in the Orc Kingdom, the orcs were all shocked when they saw the content of the movie.
"What on earth is this? Are those things in the picture real? Are they really happening?"
"Not really. After all, many of the scenes in the picture just now actually exist in our kingdom. I've been to those places before, and they were nothing like what's shown in this picture."
"So, this means that what we just saw was just a fictional story?"
"That should be the case. I seem to have heard about the so-called movie about the Human Empire before."
"Movies? I've heard of this magical thing. It seems to be something created by the human empire for entertainment."
"Entertainment. Why would you watch such a heavy story for entertainment? I just saw what the protagonist in the picture went through. My back is numb."
"I even recalled the struggles that the major orc tribes endured in this world long ago before our orc kingdom unified all the orc tribes."
"In this world, orcs are also weak..."
"In order to survive, that human actually chose to sacrifice himself. It's incredible."
"… "
All of a sudden, the orcs couldn't help but sigh when they saw everything in the movie.
Although they didn't immediately understand what the movie was and didn't quite understand what its significance was, just after watching the beginning of the movie, they were already filled with emotion and felt a deep resonance with everything shown in the movie.
Therefore, even though they had been standing at the scene for a long time, these orcs still had no intention of leaving and stared at the movie screen intently.
At the same time, as various news spread, other orcs also came from all directions out of curiosity, wanting to see what the so-called movie was.
…
Tirat, the largest city of the orcs.
General Fontrey watched the scenes in the movie in silence. When he saw the giant dragon at the beginning of the movie, he had already felt an astonishing oppressive force.
Now, when the story line officially began to develop and the protagonist encountered the terrible demon species, he instinctively felt a chill and involuntary fear.
As the orc general, it was the first time for him to face his inner fear so directly, and also the first time for him to face the immersive despair experienced by the weak.
At the same time, he was completely shocked by Ivan's actions in the movie, that is, the way humans seek survival through sacrifice.
It was the first time that Fontrey realized what was the only course of action that the weak could take when faced with despair.
To be, or not to be…
One person sacrifices, or all die...
It can be said that the protagonist in the movie made his own choice.
However, although he was shocked by the plot of the movie and impressed by the human sacrifice, General Fontrey's belief remained unshakable.
Even though he vaguely realized his mistake, he was still unwilling to accept it.
"To survive by sacrificing oneself is but the courage of a coward..."
Feng Trey clenched his fists, and his expression was suddenly covered with coldness.
…
As the plot of the movie continues to develop, the truth of the world view of "No Game No Life Zero" is completely revealed.
"There once was something in the sky called the sun. It was a white flame that shone brightly, and the sky was clear and blue."
"But that's just an old, fairytale story."
"The long war between the gods and the creatures they created burned the earth, filled the sky with ash, and rained deadly black ash..."
"It's called black ash, but it's actually just like snowflakes. If an ordinary human gets a little bit of it on them, their skin will be burned and their flesh will be torn apart. It's synonymous with death."
"However, these black ashes may be some kind of mercy, or maybe..."
With such inner monologue, Riku, the protagonist of "No Game No Life Zero", looked ahead with numb eyes, allowing the black ash to stain the skin exposed outside the cloak, and slowly walked towards his residence.
Chapter 447: "No Game No Life Zero" is released! (VI)
Chapter 447
The plot of the "No Game No Life Zero" movie continues to develop.
Rick and Yalei hiked back to the habitat.
There are quite a few humans living in the habitat. Both men and women look very thin, and it is obvious that they are struggling hard just to survive every day.
During this time, a girl named Kroni appeared. She claimed to be Rick's sister. She looked at Rick who had returned excitedly and the two sides greeted each other.
At this moment, a little girl came running from a distance and shouted excitedly:
"Dad, Dad, are you back?"
Knowing that the other person was Ivan's daughter, Rick's expression suddenly froze.
But in the end, with eyes without any brilliance, he told the other party the truth.
"Your father, he will never come back."
"It's a lie..."
"He is dead."
"You're lying!"
Suddenly, the little girl, unable to accept this fact, slapped Rick's hand away and cried loudly:
"Impossible! Dad promised me that he would come back. He said that humans would win in the end!"
In response to the girl's words, Rick suppressed the pain in his heart and replied calmly:
"We will. Ivan will fight with all his might just to win."
"That's not a victory at all. If you must die, why not just let Rick die?!"
In an instant, the girl's tearful speech plunged the scene into silence.
Then, her mother finally arrived, gave Rick an apologetic look, and took the girl away.
After that, Rick slowly returned to his room. He vented angrily, and the painful emotions in his heart completely burst out at this moment.
"What are you talking about... What are you talking about for victory! You damn hypocrite! You ordered him to sacrifice himself! You told him to die! Admit it, you killed him! You sacrificed him so that you could survive!"
Overturning the table in anger, Rick collapsed to the ground in despair.
"If this continues, what will happen in the future? When will it end? When the 999th person sacrifices himself for the 1001st? Or when there is only one person left? When will it end? How long will this life worse than death last..."
"… "
At this point, the world view of "No Game No Life Zero" can be said to have been completely revealed.
This world was once a peaceful and warm world with sunshine and rain.
However, a great war changed everything. The gods brought the races they created to fight each other, completely destroying everything and destroying the world.
As a weak group, humans are completely powerless to resist all this earth-shattering chaos. They can only survive by constantly sacrificing their companions and making compromises.
And Rick, as the leader of mankind, is the 'master' who announces sacrifices and who will die.
Under endless pressure, he was clearly reaching his limit and facing collapse.
Perhaps for him, welcoming death peacefully is the most acceptable ending.
…
Faced with everything revealed in the movie's plot, audiences in major movie theaters in the Human Empire were stunned.
No one expected that the worldview of this movie would be even more cruel than they imagined.
The difficult predicament faced by the protagonist Rick also makes all the audience feel as if they were in the situation and desperate, as if they were trapped in an iron net and unable to break free.
“This is too much torture.”
"The protagonist's life is so miserable."
"In this case, the one who chooses to accept death is the one who is truly comfortable..."
"Sometimes, a painful life is worse than a free and easy death..."
"But the protagonist obviously cannot die either. Only he has the confidence to declare others dead. Only with a dictator like him can the tribe survive in such a dangerous environment."
“This is so sad…”
"… "
For a moment, the audience showed pessimistic expressions.
No one expected that the truth behind this story would be so cruel. Just watching it as a viewer, I felt a sense of powerlessness and despair from the bottom of my heart.
At the same time, seeing the few fleeting scenes that were appropriately shown in the movie, everyone couldn't help but feel horrified, and they all realized how terrifying those powerful races were.
In such a world, human beings have already exhausted all their strength just to survive.
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Magic Academy.
The magicians were also shocked when they saw the scenes in the movie.
Not to mention the choices of human nature and the test of life and death, the world created by the movie alone made them deeply moved.
"Compared to the powerful races, humans really don't have any advantages."
"Yes, it's better now. In the early days, before the development of magic, no matter what race they faced, humans were the weakest party and could only survive in fear."
"We in this world are able to master magic, and are even closer to the roots of magic than any other race. This can be said to be an extremely lucky thing."
"You say we are closer to the source, but in fact, are you sure that we understand magic deeply enough? Let's not talk about the Chaos Realm that is just around the corner. Other races, whether it's the elves or the dragons, have studied magic much longer than us. The magic we have inherited so far is only a few thousand years old. How can we catch up with those beings whose lifespans far exceed ours?"
