The movie of "No Game No Life Zero" has reached its final ending.
Under the completely dazed gazes of all the audience, the entire world in the movie began to change.
The desolate red earth turned into a flowerbed with singing birds and fragrant flowers. The sky suddenly became clear and blue again. Everything was beautiful and no different from the real world.
In such a world, all races are confused and approach everything that has changed with caution.
While most races were unable to understand everything, the ghosts who had survived supported each other and stood up with emotion, smiling bitterly and relievedly:
"You really did it, Boss."
In a cave, Chroni slowly moved the chess pieces on a broken chessboard and said with tears in her eyes:
"Checkmate, right, Rick..."
"Rick, Hubie... you two are truly amazing... do you understand?"
"Although you think this is a draw, you have ended the eternal war. However, it is so strange, why am I so unwilling to accept this..."
Cronie's tears soaked her clothes completely.
And in an unknown place, as if answering Croni's question, the God of Games slowly said:
"That's because the game isn't over yet."
"This isn't checkmate, it's checkmate. But if this is the case, then we'll be in a long-term draw. This is the first time that you've managed to draw with me..."
With such a smile, the God of Games officially announced:
"Not created by anyone, not expected by anyone, not prayed for by anyone. Just relying on their own will, they evolved from beasts to stand on two feet, and finally gained intelligence. The only race - the nameless race - humans."
"For you who are like this, I give you a name in the name of the only God."
"Immortals!"
After doing all this, he looked at all the races again and declared loudly:
"The sixteenth race that can claim to have intelligence!"
"Inherit the will of the deceased, abolish the alliance agreement between races, base it on the ten covenants, and swear an oath to the covenant!"
“At this moment today, the world has changed!”
"Okay—get on with the game."
"Everyone can have fun together and no one will die. I will prepare such a game for you."
As the words of the God of Games finally fell, the movie of "No Game No Life Zero" officially came to an end.
…
The story of "No Game No Life Zero" has come to an end, and all the major movie theaters in the human empire suddenly fell into a long silence.
All the audience were immersed in the final story and couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long time, a sound finally gradually rang out at the scene.
"I really didn't expect that the final result would be like this."
"Although Rick himself did not win the final Star Cup, the God of Games he created actually won the Star Cup, which is a good result."
"But it's still a little hard for me to accept. Riku and Hubie paid so much, and even almost all of the Ex-Machinas were sacrificed. They paid so much to get such a result. It's just too..."
"This is war. Once the bloodbath of life and death begins, it can only end with extremely tragic sacrifices. We should be thankful that we live in a relatively peaceful era and are not disturbed by war."
"My father told me that when he was just born, wars often broke out in the empire, but under the leadership of the current King Hubbard, the empire completely pacified the four directions and won peace for the empire. The sacrifices made in this process are definitely no less than those in the story of "No Game No Life Zero". We must cherish this hard-earned peace and not let down the people who sacrificed."
“Yes, we must do it.”
"Having said that, this movie really tells a good story. Although many people died in the middle, which is a bit hard to accept, the final ending is still satisfactory. The sacrifice of the protagonist and others can also make us remember the sacrifices brought by war and the cruelty of war itself."
"I believe that the current empire will never initiate a war against other countries for selfish interests, but other countries may not be like us. Maybe in the near future, the empire will be caught in war again."
"If we are really caught in a war, I will definitely go to the border to join the army as soon as possible and contribute to the defense of this country."
"Haha, this is a bit exaggerated. After all, as long as we have this intention, everyone can do their part to protect the country!"
"This is the first time I want to watch a movie again after watching it, not for anything else, just to remember those who died."
"Me too, let's watch it again later!!"
"… "
In the cinema, people started a heated discussion, and everyone had their own feelings and interpretations of the movie's final plot.
It can be said that movies have taken root in the human empire. All humans have thoroughly understood the existence of movies and have mastered the correct way to watch movies.
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Magic Academy.
When the magicians saw the scene at the end of the movie where the God of Games holds the Star Grail and changes the world, they were stunned for a moment and immediately started a heated discussion.
"The God of Games? It seems like a god that was born from the consciousness of the protagonist."
"Faith can create gods? Are the gods in the movies actually created by faith?"
"But the problem is, I remember the plot said that the superior races were created by gods. If gods were born based on faith, then it is naturally impossible that the faith of the superior races created by gods later was brought about."
"This... It seems that humans don't have gods, right? Could it be that human belief is the source of the creation of many gods?"
"It's really scary to think about it. If that's the case, why would the world in the movie become like this? Could it be the fault of human beings themselves?"
"But the problem is that it is impossible for humans to control themselves from having beliefs. Even our world has had various beliefs more than once in the past..."
"Wait, it suddenly occurred to me, could it be that the gods in our world were also born because of faith?"
"Ah, although some people have proposed similar conjectures in the past, it should be unlikely. After all, according to the data, gods seem to have existed in the world before humans developed faith. In our world, gods should have appeared first, and then races developed faith in them."
"But the information may not be accurate. Maybe..."
"… "
All of a sudden, the discussion among the magicians turned to the discussion of gods, but it was obvious that ordinary magicians could not deeply understand the essence of it.
Therefore, the magicians quickly stopped discussing this topic.
However, in contrast, the great sages at the top of the Mage Tower had a deeper understanding of this, so they couldn't help but start a debate on it.
Chapter 464: No Game No Life Zero Ends! (Part 3)
Chapter 464
The top of the Mage's Tower.
Faced with the official completion of "No Game No Life Zero", the great sages at the pinnacle of humanity were shocked and began to discuss.
After all, the movie expresses many concepts about gods, and even at the end it directly shows the scene where the God of Games ascends the throne as the sole God.
This is something that is worth pondering even for great sages.
Dean Hohenheim spoke first. He said thoughtfully:
"I first saw the concept of gods in ancient books thousands of years ago. The ancient books clearly described the power of gods, moving mountains and filling the sea, opening up continents, and being omnipotent. However, as time passed, the gods believed in by humans disappeared one after another, leaving only the God of Holy Light who appeared hundreds of years ago, but that was also the last appearance. From then until now, in the past hundred years, there has been no information about any gods appearing in the human empire."
In response to Dean Hohenheim's words, the other great sages nodded, obviously agreeing with his statement.
But at the same time, the grumpy Sage Norton couldn't help but say:
"These are just recorded events. Who in this era has ever seen a god descend to the world? Perhaps the god itself is just a false concept, fabricated by our ancestors?"
As for Sage Norton's remarks, Sage Rosa immediately responded:
"If the gods are fictitious, then the birth of the human empire can also be fabricated out of thin air. But in fact, the human empire was indeed founded by the first generation of the royal family and the Dukes of the Four Territories a thousand years ago, and was born under the witness of the gods. At that time, the gods maintained a fragile balance with each other, which provided the foundation for the establishment of the human empire."
"this… "
For a moment, Sage Norton was speechless. After all, no matter how straightforward he was, he could not say that the birth of the human empire was fictional.
On the other side, after listening to everyone's discussion, Dean Hohenheim slowly said:
"In this era, almost all the gods on our continent have disappeared, which makes it impossible for us to have any concept of gods. But from the information in the past, gods may not really be naturally powerful creatures, but a concept born under the blessing of faith."
After hearing what Dean Hohenheim said, the other great sages immediately started a discussion.
"Faith bonus? I don't know how many people have proposed this idea, but there is no absolutely strong evidence. After all, the reason why God is God is because it is powerful enough to protect mortals. If God is based on mortals' faith, it can't explain why God can be chosen by people to become God."
"This is probably a chicken-and-egg question. In other words, was it the gods that came first, followed by faith, or was it faith that came first, followed by gods? Judging from all the signs, the former is more likely."
"But this is not absolute, after all, if gods are some kind of naturally powerful creatures, then why haven't new gods appeared so far?"
"Perhaps for some reason, the gods have all retreated from the world."
"There is no logic in what you say..."
"I think the gods are indeed influenced by faith. After all, since the establishment of the human empire, the appearance of gods has gradually decreased. This may be because humans no longer need external forces to protect themselves, but can rely on their own strength to protect themselves."
"In that case, why did the gods of the Orc Kingdom also disappear? The time when the gods of the Orc Kingdom disappeared seems to be not much different from that of our human empire."
"This could be..."
"… "
For a moment, even the great sages were deadlocked on the topic of gods.
After all, gods are far superior to mortal beings no matter what. With the vision of today's mortals, it is natural that they cannot see through the truth.
So, after a lengthy discussion, the great sages finally gave up on continuing this topic.
However, what they would not have expected was that, although gods had not appeared in the Human Empire for a long time, and it was estimated that there would not be any gods in the future, in the neighboring Orc Kingdom, a chaos related to gods was about to surface.
…
Orc Kingdom.
With the ending of the movie "No Game No Life Zero", the orcs fell silent for a while.
At this moment, their long silence was not simply due to shock, but also due to the excitement caused by the ideas conveyed by the movie.
It can be said that every orc who has watched the entire movie, no matter what ideas they had before, is now completely immersed in the story described in the movie. They are influenced by the story of the movie, get rid of their previous confusion, and realize what choice they should make.
"War must not be allowed to break out!"
"We should protect our country and defend our peace!"
"It's wrong to start a war anyway!"
"Support the Beast King and the Kingdom Faction, and oppose General Fontrey's coup atrocities!"
"The Orc Kingdom is our own country. The problems that arise among us should be solved by ourselves!"
"Refusing to initiate a war is a wrong move!"
"… "
The orcs were originally a little confused about the concept of war, and were puzzled about whether to stop the actions of the war faction represented by the Orc General. But at this moment, they all knew clearly the harm that war brings, and clearly realized how cruel it is to actively start a war.
Therefore, most of the orcs immediately strengthened their belief and determination to completely stop this war that was caused by the chaos within the orcs themselves.
All of a sudden, demonstrations of astonishing scale broke out all over the Orc Kingdom, and a large number of orcs took action to try to save the already precarious kingdom.
Faced with this scene, the Black Blade Team, who were originally just helping to show the movie, were stunned.
Including Juno, who watched the movie many times, all the members did not expect the impact of the movie to be so amazing. It was like a flood that completely swept the entire country.
But then, they quickly cheered up, trying to continue spreading the film to other parts of the kingdom while joining the parade to fight for the future of the kingdom.
It can be said that just because of a movie, the wind direction of the entire Orc Kingdom suddenly changed.
All of this is not only far beyond people's imagination, but also beyond the imagination of certain higher-level beings.
A movie destroyed everything that many people had carefully arranged and planned for a long time. This can be described as earth-shattering.
Chapter 465 (IV) The Orcs Did Not Choose War!
Chapter 465
Tilat, the largest city in the Orc Kingdom.
Faced with the end of "No Game No Life Zero", many orcs present fell silent.
Among them, all the orcs, including General Fontrey, were shocked by the ending of the story and didn't know how to start for a moment.
