Chapter 614 Goddess, Bra Pads, and Reincarnation
"Oh, this is a nice view."
Xiaolin is in an incredible place right now.
Here there is a sunset that almost burns the entire sky. Under your feet is a thick crystal floor, and beneath the transparent floor, clouds dyed red by the sunset slowly flow by.
Looking up, you can see the sky dyed red by the setting sun stretching infinitely into the distance. The endless sky changes from bright scarlet to blood-red, and then to purple. In addition, there is a slight sound of wind.
There was nothing in the sky except for the clouds shimmering with golden-red light, and a small crystal disk was floating.
Xiaolin was standing on the disc.
When the duel with Kayaba Akihiko was over, the normal process should have been to complete the game, the neural signals would have been released, and he should have returned to Axel.
His appearance here meant that someone had intercepted him.
He was still wearing the suit he wore during the raid, but the weapon and equipment slots were no longer accessible. All that was displayed was the words [Final stage in progress, current progress is 30%].
The players trapped in Aincrad are probably being sent away one after another.
Where is this place?
In the sky far away from the crystal plate where he was, he could see something floating. The object had the shape of a cone with the front end cut off, and the whole thing was made up of countless layers stacked up. If he looked closely, he could see many mountains, forests, lakes, and towns between the layers.
That is the full picture of Aincrad.
When Xiaolin was in Aincrad, he had never seen its entire appearance. This was the first time after he cleared the game.
I have to admire Kayaba Akihiko, his aesthetic taste is still quite online.
But soon, Xiaolin discovered something strange.
This huge steel city is gradually collapsing. Part of the bottom floor has broken into countless pieces, some of which are flying around, some are peeling off, and one can even hear some heavy rumbling sounds mixed in with the wind from here.
The Axis Cult headquarters was also among them.
The cathedral, which had been built for two years and was considered the top guild in Aincrad, was also crumbling bit by bit.
I feel a little sad.
In the beginning, Aqua begged for that building, and Kobayashi and his friends paid a huge price to finally get it from the NPC. Later on, they also spent a lot of money on maintenance and decoration, and now it is gone just like that.
There is also the first floor, the fifth floor, the twenty-second floor, the fiftieth floor... Each floor has his memories, and each floor has traces of his battles.
To be honest, Xiaolin still enjoys SAO. The empty feeling he feels is stronger than after finishing any other game in the past.
“Great view, isn’t it.”
“Yes, there is a kind of withered beauty.”
Xiaolin didn't turn his head.
A man suddenly appeared beside him. Unlike in Aincrad, he was not wearing the heavy red knight armor, but a white coat. The only thing that was the same was his resolute and cold expression.
The two were clearly fighting to the death just now, but now they are getting along quite peacefully.
Xiao Lin stared at the withered steel city for a while before he slowly asked, "What's going on?"
"It should be said that it is... a symbolic performance."
Kayaba Akihiko was also very calm. He said, "Right now, the mainframe installed on the fifth floor of the headquarters basement is using all its memory to completely delete the archive. In about ten minutes, this world will completely disappear."
"Ah, really?"
Xiaolin responded.
Kayaba Akihiko continued, "Don't worry about the remaining players. They have all logged out now."
To be honest, Xiaolin doesn't care about any of this.
He knew everything, even why Kayaba Akihiko wanted to create this game world, so he didn't want to ask.
But Kayaba Akihiko still took the initiative to say: "Why did I create SAO? Think about it carefully. After I knew about the development of the complete forward environment system... no, it should be said that it started earlier. I lived to create that city, a world that transcends all the frameworks and laws of the real world. Then at the last moment, I saw something that could surpass the laws of the world I created."
I think it refers to Xiaolin's swordsmanship and chains.
The wind began to grow stronger and blew his clothes. Kobayashi sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the steel town in the distance that was gradually being swallowed by the clouds. Now it was almost reaching the 75th floor.
The speed is quite fast.
Xiao Lin suddenly asked: "Do you like the other world?"
"Do you like the other world...?"
Kayaba Akihiko raised his lips slightly and said, "We have been having many dreams since we were little, right? I have forgotten how old I was when I was obsessed with the dream of a floating castle in the sky... The scene in that fantasy remains vivid in my mind no matter how much time has passed.
As I get older, the images become more real and more expansive. To fly off the ground and go directly to that castle... For a long time, that has been my only wish. Listen to me, Xiaolin. I still believe that - in a certain world, that castle really exists. "
"Is that so? Then... Kayaba Akihiko, have you ever thought about building this castle yourself?"
"Ok?"
Kayaba Akihiko didn't understand what Kobayashi was talking about.
If it comes to building a castle, then he has already built it, and the castle has existed for two years, and there are even 10,000 players accompanying him, so he is very satisfied.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Xiaolin had no intention of explaining.
At this time, even the part outside the floating castle in the distance began to collapse, and you could see the originally endless sea of clouds and red sky being swallowed by white light and gradually disappearing in the distance.
The erosion of light is happening everywhere and seems to be slowly approaching here.
"I almost forgot to tell you... Xiaolin, congratulations on completing the game."
"…This is not my credit. To be honest, I really wanted to break through to the 100th floor and see the scenery behind it, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by Kirito."
"Haha, Xiaolin, you are indeed weird."
This was the first time Kayaba Akihiko laughed out loud. I thought he was always the serious type.
Xiaolin stretched and said, "But it's a great game and I had a lot of fun playing it."
"……Thank you for the compliment."
Kayaba Akihiko smiled with relief.
Although he is a researcher and although he turned the game into a death game, he still hopes that players can enjoy the game. Unfortunately, under the threat of death, no one can relax and enjoy it.
But the people in front of him, no, it was a few people including Kobayashi. They enjoyed the game very much and laughed every day, making the world full of life again and allowing those who had lost their courage and ideals to stand up again.
"...Thank you, Xiaolin."
"Hmm? I don't know what you're thanking me for, but I'll accept your thanks."
"hehe."
I don't know if it's because he's out of the game, but Kayaba Akihiko smiles a lot more. This is what it means that once there's a first time, there will be countless times.
"By the way, Yui..."
"Don't worry, I've already put her information in Kirito's helmet."
"Why Kirito?"
"Because I can't find where you are connected."
Kayaba Akihiko sighed, "Where on earth did you come from? Since the day the game was launched, I have searched for the ten unknown accounts that appeared many times, even in real life, but there is no information about you at all."
"Because we are not from this world."
"Well, that's the only explanation."
"...You are really boring."
Kobayashi's words did not shock Kayaba Akihiko. Apparently, combined with the previous events, he thought of something. There was no way. The most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, once said that when you eliminate all the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.
"Also, as a reward for revealing my identity, I gave the seeds to Kirito."
"Oh? You're quite generous."
"He's the only one. I don't think you can handle this, Xiaolin."
"No, I've always said that you're a genius, Kayaba. I admire you for being able to design a game like this."
This is a fact.
Even though Kayaba Akihiko did evil things, there is no doubt that he made a good game.
"Oh, I forgot."
Xiao Lin seemed to have remembered something and said, "I remember that there are more than 6,000 players surviving so far."
“To be exact, it’s 6,948. Honestly, I thought there would be even fewer players surviving. But thanks to the guidance of the Axis Cult, the number of players who died has decreased significantly.”
"So, regarding those dead players, they have all been resurrected."
"……what?"
"So, regardless of whether you feel guilty about the dead players, Kayaba, all of them have been resurrected. Resurrected by the two goddesses."
Kayaba Akihiko opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
Xiao Lin sighed, "Oh, one of the goddesses is very difficult to deal with. If my goddess hadn't been so persistent and threatened that her breasts were padded, those people might not have been resurrected. Having said that, I think this matter must have been approved by those people in the heavens, otherwise how could so many people be resurrected. More than 3,000 people, more than 3,000 people! Even if she was threatened that her breasts were padded, she wouldn't agree. She must have found a new world, so she is willing to resurrect so many people."
“H-Hah…”
Kayaba Akihiko has absolutely no idea what the resurrected person has to do with the breast pad. Also, does it mean that resurrecting a person is so easy?
"Xiao Lin, are you... from another world?"
"this problem……"
Kobayashi stretched out his tone and then changed the subject.
"I will not tell you."
Kayaba Akihiko twitched his lips. He was also confused by Kobayashi's move. But judging from his words, it should be what he thought.
Forget it, it's not important.
Kayaba Akihiko put this last scene into his mind, and then said, "It's time for me to go too."
He didn't say where he was going, but Xiaolin knew where he was going.
Kobayashi also stood up and looked at him and said, "Kayaba, there is a saying. The crime you committed can only be forgiven by God, and the best thing I can do is to send you to see God... No, I should say to see the goddess. Whether you can be forgiven depends on the will of the goddess. Also, I'll give you a piece of advice, don't tell her that your breasts are padded, remember that."
"oh oh……"
Kayaba Akihiko's light yellow eyes showed a rare look of confusion. He had no idea what the relationship was between the goddess and the bra pad.
The wind was blowing hard and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Kobayashi was watching the final withering of the Steel Flower. Only the top part of the floating castle in the imaginary world remained, and the 76th floor that he had no chance to see was also beginning to collapse fragilely.
The curtain of light that surrounded the entire world and was disappearing was getting closer and closer to him. Once it touched the swaying light that looked like the aurora, the sea of clouds and the sky filled with sunset glow broke into countless tiny pieces, which then scattered and disappeared.
At the top of Aincrad stands a huge crimson palace with a gorgeous spire. If the game is played in order, the players should fight the final demon lord Kayaba Akihiko there.
The palace, which has lost its owner, will continue to float in the air as if resisting fate, even if the top layer that serves as the foundation collapses.
The palace, which looks even more vivid against the red sky, feels like the last remaining heart of the floating castle.
Soon after, the destructive wave mercilessly surrounded the Red Palace. It began to disintegrate into countless red balls from the bottom and then fell into the clouds.
The scattering of the highest spire and the light curtain completely engulfing the space happened almost at the same time. The huge city of Aincrad was completely destroyed, and the only things left in the world were a few red clouds illuminated by the setting sun, a small crystal floating island, and Xiaolin sitting on the floating island.
"Ahh, the game is over."
"We're going back to Axel tomorrow, right?"
"Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, but it all seems like yesterday... Wait, at a thousand times the speed, it seems like less than a day?"
"That's not good. If the change is too big, won't it arouse other people's suspicion?"
Xiaolin scratched his head.
If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is unlikely, after all, they will always be a group of problem children. They are actually better at changing others than changing their own nature.
"Yeah, these are minor issues."
Xiaolin stretched again.
“By the way, why don’t we have Aqua copy this Aincrad into the mainframe in the warehouse after we get back, and then let Megumin and the others vent their unnecessary energy into the game? Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
"Well, in that case, why not just make a new game based on this? Is a 5v5 real-time strategy battle game possible?"
The light curtain gradually engulfed him.
Kobayashi's figure disappeared and came to a colorful passage, just like the time tunnel in Nobita Nobi's desk.
While being teleported, Xiaolin was still wondering if he would be intercepted like Asuna and the others. If so, would he be able to participate in ALO?
however--
"Aqua, why hasn't Senior Krillin woken up yet?"
"Haha, how should I know that?"
"Could it be that your skills are useless, you useless goddess!"
"What did you say! Idiot Kazuma, I'm not a useless goddess!"
“Wait, wait… stop it, stop pouring water on me, the machine behind me is going to break down, stop it now, you stupid, useless goddess!!!”
The two were quarreling loudly.
Darkness, Huihui and the others were also trying to stop the fight, and the familiar noise returned.
Xiaolin sighed.
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was the silly face of the stupid goddess.
"Xiaolin! Welcome back."
"Ah, I'm back."
It seems that the troubled days will continue.
