I like traveling the most

Chapter 614 Goddess, Bra Pads and Reincarnation

"Oh, this view is nice."

Kobayashi is currently in an incredible place.

There is a sunset that is about to burn the whole sky. Under his feet is a thick crystal floor. Clouds dyed red by the sunset are slowly flowing under the transparent floor.

Looking up, you can see that the sky dyed red by the sunset extends infinitely to the distance. The endless sky has a layered change from bright vermilion to blood-like red, and then to purple. In addition, there is a slight breeze.

In addition to the clouds flashing with golden red light, there is nothing in the sky, and a small crystal disc is floating.

Kobayashi is standing on the disc.

When the duel with Kayaba Akihiko is over, the normal process should be to clear the game, the neural signals are released, and he should return to Axel.

Appearing here means that someone intercepted him.

He was still wearing the suit he wore during the strategy war, but the weapons and equipment bar could no longer be opened. There was only the words [Final stage in progress, 30% progress now] displayed in front of him.

Players trapped in Aincrad should be 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 overlapping floors. If you look closely, you can see many mountains, forests, lakes, and towns between the floors.

That was the full view of Aincrad.

When Xiaolin was in Aincrad, he had never seen its full view. This was the first time after he cleared the game.

I have to admire Kayaba Akihiko, his aesthetics are still quite good.

But soon, Xiaolin found something strange.

This huge steel city was gradually collapsing, and part of the bottom floor had been broken into countless fragments, some of which were flying and some of which were peeling down. You could even hear some heavy rumbling sounds mixed in 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.

It was a little painful.

At the beginning, Aqua begged for the building, and Xiaolin and his friends paid a considerable price to finally get it from the NPC. Later, they spent a lot of money on maintenance and decoration, but it was gone so easily.

There were also the first floor, the fifth floor, the twenty-second floor, the fiftieth floor... Each floor had his memories, and each floor had traces of his battles.

To be honest, Xiaolin still enjoyed SAO very much. This feeling of emptiness was stronger than any other game he had ever finished.

"Great view, right?"

"Yes, there is a kind of withered beauty."

Xiaolin did not turn his head.

A man appeared beside him at some point. Unlike in Aincrad, he did not wear 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 fighting to the death just now, but now they are getting along quite peacefully.

Kobayashi stared at the withered steel city for a while, then slowly said: "What's going on?"

"It should be said that it is... a symbolic performance."

Kayaba Akihiko was also very calm. He said: "The large mainframe installed on the fifth floor of the headquarters basement is using all the memory to completely delete the archive. In about ten minutes, this world will completely disappear."

"Ah, is that so."

Kobayashi responded.

Kayaba Akihiko continued: "In addition, the surviving players don't have to worry, they have all logged out now."

To be honest, Kobayashi doesn't care about these.

He knows everything, even the reason why Kayaba Akihiko wants to build this game world, so he doesn'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, that world that transcends all the frameworks and laws of the real world. Then at the last moment, I saw something that could transcend the laws of the world I created."

It refers to Xiaolin's swordsmanship and chains.

The wind began to get stronger and blew his clothes. Xiaolin sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the steel town in the distance that was gradually swallowed by the clouds. Now it was about to swallow the 75th floor.

The speed is still quite fast.

Kobayashi suddenly asked, "Do you like another world?"

"Like another world...?"

The corners of Kayaba Akihiko's mouth slightly raised, and he said, "We have been dreaming since we were young, right? I forgot how old I was when I was entangled in the dream of this floating castle in the air... The scene in that fantasy remains vivid in my mind no matter how much time has passed.

As I grow older, the images become more and more real and more and more expansive. Take off from the ground and go directly to that castle... For a long time, that has been my only wish. Listen to me, Kobayashi. I still believe that - in a certain world, that castle really exists."

"Really. Then... Kayaba Akihiko, do you want to build this castle yourself?"

"Hmm?"

Kayaba Akihiko didn't understand what Kobayashi was talking about.

If we talk about building a castle, then he has already built it, and it still exists for two years. There are even 10,000 players accompanying him, so he is very satisfied.

Seeing his confused look, Xiao Lin had no idea of ​​explaining.

At this time, even the parts outside the floating city began to collapse in the distance. You could see that the originally endless sea of ​​clouds and red sky were engulfed in white light and gradually disappeared at the far end.

The erosion of light is happening everywhere, and it seems to be slowly approaching here.

"I almost forgot to tell you... Xiaolin, congratulations on completely conquering the game."

"...This is not my fault. To be honest, I really wanted to break through to the 100th floor and see the scenery behind, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by Kirito."

"Haha, Xiaolin, you are indeed strange."

Kayaba Akihiko laughed out loud for the first time, thinking that he had always been the serious type.

Xiaolin stretched and said, "But, this is a great game and I have a great time playing it."

"……Thank you for the compliment."

Kayaba Akihiko smiled happily.

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 me, no, they are a few people including Xiao Lin. They enjoy this game very much. They laugh and laugh every day. They make the world full of vitality again and allow people who have lost their courage and ideals to stand up again. .

"...Thank you, Xiaolin."

"Huh? Although I don't know what you are thanking, I will accept your thanks."

"hehe."

I don't know if it was because he was out of the game, but Kayaba Akihiko's smile changed a lot. This means that if there is a first time, there will be countless times.

"By the way, Yui..."

"Don't worry, I've put her information in Kirito's helmet."

"Why Kirito?"

"Because I can't find where you are connected to."

Kayaba Akihiko sighed: "Where did you come from? From the day the game was launched, I searched for the ten unknown accounts that appeared several times, and even searched for them many times in reality, but you were not found at all. Relevant information.”

"Because we are not from this world."

"Well, this is the only explanation."

"...You are really boring."

Kobayashi's words did not shock Kayaba Akihiko. It was obvious that combined with the previous events, it reminded him of something. There is no way, the most famous detective Sherlock Holmes once said, when you eliminate all impossible situations, what is left, no matter how unbelievable, is the fact.

"Besides, as a reward for revealing my identity, I gave the seed to Kirito."

"Oh? You are quite generous."

"He's the only one. I think Xiaolin, you don't like this."

"No, I've been saying that Kayaba is a genius and I admire you for being able to design such a game."

This is true.

Even though Kayaba Akihiko did evil things, there is no doubt that he made a good game.

"Ah, I forgot."

Xiao Lin seemed to have remembered something and said: "I remember that there are more than 6,000 players who have survived the game so far."

"To be precise, it's six thousand nine hundred and forty-eight. To be honest, I thought there would be fewer surviving players. But thanks to the enlightenment of the Axis Cult, a lot fewer players died."

"So, all the players who died have been resurrected."

"……What?"

"So, regardless of whether Kayaba feels guilty because of the dead players, these people were all 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 it weren't for my goddess stalking her and using her breasts as a threat, those people might not be able to be resurrected. Having said that, I think this The people in the heaven had to agree, otherwise how could there be more than three thousand people resurrected? Even if the breasts were used as a threat, she would definitely have to find them. That’s why we are willing to resurrect so many people.”

"Ha, ha..."

Kayaba Akihiko didn't understand at all what the relationship between resurrecting people and chest pads was. Also, did resurrecting people mean it was so easy?

"Xiao Lin, are you... from another world?"

"This question..."

Xiao Lin drew out a long tone, and then changed the subject.

"I won't tell you."

Kayaba Akihiko twitched the corner of his mouth, he was also confused by Xiaolin's move. But judging from his words, he should be right as he thought.

Forget it, it's not important.

Kayaba Akihiko reflected this last scene in his mind, and then said: "It's time for me to go."

He didn't say where he was going, but Xiao Lin knew where he would go.

Xiao Lin also stood up and looked at him and said: "Kayaba, there is a saying. Only God can forgive the crimes you have committed, and what I can do is send you to see God... No, I should say I'm going to see the goddess. Whether you can be forgiven depends on what the goddess wants. Also, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't tell her that your breasts are padded. "

"oh oh……"

Akihiko Kayaba's pale yellow eyes showed a rare look of confusion. He had no idea what the goddess and the bra pad had to do with each other.

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 never seen began to collapse fragilely.

The curtain of light that surrounded the entire world and disappeared was getting closer and closer to him. When it touched the swaying light that looked like the aurora, the sea of ​​clouds and the sky that satisfied the sunset broke into countless tiny fragments, scattered and disappeared again.

On the top floor of Aincrad, there stood a huge bright red palace with a gorgeous spire. If the game was played in order, players should have fought against the final demon lord Akihiko Kayaba there.

The palace that lost its owner continued to float in the air as if resisting fate, even if the top floor, which was the foundation, collapsed.

The palace, which looked even more vivid against the red sky, made people feel like the last remaining heart of the floating castle.

Soon after, the destructive wave mercilessly surrounded the red palace. It began to decompose into countless red balls from the bottom, and then fell into the clouds.

The scattering of the highest spire and the light curtain completely swallowed up the space, almost at the same time. The giant city of Aincrad was completely destroyed, and the world was left with only a few red clouds under the setting sun and a small crystal floating island, as well as Xiaolin sitting on the floating island.

"Ah, the game is over."

"I'm going back to Axel tomorrow, right?"

"Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it all seems like yesterday... Wait, at a thousand times the speed, it seems like less than a day?"

"Not good, if the change is too big, will it arouse suspicion from others?"

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. Compared to changing their own nature, they are actually better at changing others.

"Yeah, these are all small problems."

Xiaolin stretched again.

"Oh, by the way, why don't we have Aqua replicate this Aincrad in the mainframe in the warehouse after we go back, and then let Huihui and the others vent their unnecessary energy into the game? Well, this is a good idea."

"Hey, 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 swallowed him.

Kobayashi disappeared and came to a colorful passage, just like the time-space tunnel in Nobita Nobi's desk.

When Kobayashi was teleported, he was still wondering if he would be intercepted like Asuna and the others? If so, could he participate in ALO?

However——

"Aqua, why hasn't Senior Kobayashi woken up yet?"

"Ha, how should I know?"

"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, don't pour water on me, the machine behind me is going to break down, stop it, you stupid, useless goddess!!!"

The two were arguing loudly.

Darkness and Huihui were also trying to stop the fight, and the familiar noise was back.

Kobayashi sighed.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the silly face of the stupid goddess.

"Kobayashi! Welcome back."

"Ah, I'm back."

It seems that the noisy days will continue.
