Chapter 40: 'SAO' clearance

(The number of words in this chapter is really small.,I'll see if I can make up for it)

The figures behind him turned into light and disappeared into the main hall one by one, one after another, their faces full of joy.

"Niederhogg-kun, goodbye." Kenshin smiled goodbye and vanished.

"Vice Captain, thank you for taking care of you." After Yixiu finished speaking, he also dissipated.

"Captain, contact later." Lolita's words made Nidhogg feel that he might be in trouble in the future...

"Trust me, you can be a light too!" Xiao Chenxing said with a serious face.

"......" Nidhogg laughed and kicked the guy and watched him disappear, "." ”

In the blink of an eye, the ruin-like ruin-like ruby palace hall with only Nidhogg alone seemed extremely empty and lonely.

In the next moment, he was already standing above the dense sea of clouds.

Because he was deeply impressed by the ending of the original book, Nidhogg was not surprised, and quietly watched in the distant sky, the huge floating steel city was slowly collapsing.

"Ayn Grant, it's over......" Watching the floating city that had been active for two and a half years fall apart, Nidhogg was a little melancholy.

Two and a half years, I have only crossed by myself for less than half a month, and I have spent two and a half years here.

But this is never its own stage...... To be precise, he is an old antique from the old era of another world, dead and leftover, no worries, no fetters, where is his stage, he is looking for.

"How? Lord Nidhogg, what's the view like here? ”

Nidhogg turned to look at the tall, thin man behind him, wearing glasses and a researcher's white coat.

Heathcliff, or rather, it's time to call Akihiko Kayaba.

"It's good, but it's a pity that the destruction of beautiful things is always sad."

"Beautiful things."

With his hands in his pockets, Akihiko Kayaba's eyes behind the lenses were full of emotion.

"Lord Nidhogg, do you know? I've had a dream from a long, long time ago. ”

"I dream of such a world, a perfect world."

"When I learned about the development of a fully stealthy environment system - no, I should say it started earlier, I lived to create that city, that world that transcended the frameworks and regulations of the real world. And then in this world, after the official operation, I was fortunate enough to see something beyond the laws of the world that I had created......"

"We've had a lot of dreams since we were kids, right, and I don't remember how old I was when I was entangled in the fantasy of this floating castle in the sky......

"Listen to me, Lord Nidhogg. I still believe that there really is a castle in a certain world......"

Listening quietly to Akihiko Kayaba's narration, Nidhogg's expression was still as calm and unwavering.

Even when he was a human being, when he watched "Sword Art Online", he didn't have any ill feelings towards Akihiko Kayaba, even if he sacrificed 10,000 people, but Li Junxuan, as a house with a not very normal body and mind, didn't care about people he didn't know, just like how many people died in an earthquake somewhere, everyone just "oh", who would care about people they didn't know. On the contrary, Akihiko Kayaba's behavior of pursuing his dreams resonates with him very much.

Creating Gensokyo is also a dream of his, and he is on the way to realizing this dream, even if he is not active, but not without intentions.

Niederhogg's thoughts, Kayaba Akihiko naturally didn't understand, but he was surprised by Niedhog's reaction.

"Lord Nidhogg...... Aren't you outraged by my actions? ”

"Why should I be angry?" Ned Hogg looked at the 'Ayn Grant', who had collapsed for the most part, and said calmly, "This game is very good, the world is very real, and I am quite happy." ”

Kayaba Akihiko was stunned, and then smiled softly again.

"Happy, that's good, that's good."

Walking up to Nidhogg, Kayaba spread out his right hand.

With his palm upward, a golden ball of light floated.

"This is the Seed of the World, Lord Nidhogg, I entrust it to you, and sooner or later, I believe in us, and we will see you again."

After saying this, Akihiko Kayaba's body turned into pieces and disappeared in front of Nidhogg's eyes......

"That might be."

With a mysterious smile on his lips, Nidhogg looked at the ball of light in his hand and clenched it.

――――――――I'm tired of copying the original book――――――――――

Gently open your eyes.

"Strange smallpox...... Boards too! Which grandson turned off the lights! ”

It was pitch black, and Nidhogg just looked up......

Boom!

"Rub, my head."

His head hit the wooden partition, and Nidhogg reacted.

It looks like I'm in a coffin and logged into the game.

Hold the coffin board with both hands and push it violently!

"Ahem, ahem, mom it's a lot of dust."

Coughing and waving his hand, the dust moved away from the hole under the wind, and he clawed his fingers into the void of the soil layer above.

Swish! Bang!

In the midst of the massive claw-shaped gap, Nidhogg jumped up.

"During the day."

Looking at the sun blazing overhead, Nidhogg twisted his joints, and the sound of crackling bones grinding sounded.

"After two and a half years of sleep, my bones are rusty, but fortunately, I turned on the bloodline energy-saving sleep mode."

system, how long will it be away from this copy?

[There is still an hour, do you want to go to your teammates?] 】

"What are you looking for them, you'll meet them after you add friends, I'll go and play with Sugo Shinyuki first."

――――――――――――I'm the dividing line for intelligence gathering――――――――

"Send it to Mr. Kazuto Kiritani on XXX Street, XXX."

After writing down the address and sending it to the post office, Nidhogg sent Kirito his own game helmet containing The.Seed.

My harvest is already good, and there is no need to change the development of this world for the sake of the prototype of a virtual world. Without "The.Seed", there would be no 'ALO' and no 'GGO', and maybe even the later "Acceleration World" would be gone, so forget it.

Stopped a taxi on the side of the road.

"Go to RECT Manufacturing!" Nidhogg said.

PS1: The old thief of Kawahara originally said that Kuroyukihime was not Kirito's daughter, and then slapped himself in the face. Tsk,300 tease August out of the black snow and Kirito group will there be easter eggs?。

PS2: I was cheaply put into a running group by Amway, and I was a little panicked after Baidu ran the group.
