Chapter 48
There was a very obvious bitterness and unwillingness in that voice, and Xiangkong slowly opened his eyes, and found himself standing in a room of less than 100 square meters, with no luxurious lighting and decorative gems around the room, only simple walls that could be said to be pale.
Moving his gaze, he looked ahead, and there was a gorgeous throne that did not match the room, and on the throne sat a handsome and beautiful man, and the voice full of bitterness and unwillingness was probably made by this person.
"Oberon, the Elven King?"
Xiangkong looked at the man with various elven characteristics on the throne and asked tentatively.
"Heh..."
Oberon did not deny it, restrained the unwillingness on his face, and smiled coldly.
Xiangkong frowned slightly, the hand holding the one-handed long sword used a little force, and the first inexplicable words, he didn't have the heart to think about it, just thinking about whether he should do it now.
"There is no need for 'creatures' who have lost their autonomy to exist..."Oberon's expression became extremely calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
"There is no point in any struggle, because from the beginning of birth, the end has been predestined, and this is our sorrow."
"Outsiders, your world will be just as small."
After speaking in a very calm tone, Oberon slowly raised his head, and a deep sadness appeared in his star-like eyes.
Oberon, the Elven King!
A red name suddenly appeared above his head, and at the same time a tube of symbolic HP bars appeared.
Xiangkong looked at the HP bar, and couldn't help but be stunned, because the HP bar was decaying at an extremely fast speed, and soon, the HP bar was zero, and Oberon's entire body glowed with a burst of dazzling white light, and then disappeared silently... As if it had never appeared, leaving no trace.
If the magnificent throne is the ultimate pursuit, then this small room is the product of desperation.
"He chose death."
Just when Xiangkong felt inexplicable, a very familiar voice sounded in his ears, his heart jumped, and he suddenly turned to look at the source of the sound, and the person who only existed in his memory suddenly appeared.
"Akihiko Kayaba..."
It's still a white coat, the same as when the number of jΓΉ was deleted by SAO, and there is no change in the slightest.
Kayaba Jinghiko put his hands in his pockets, his expression was unwavering, he looked straight at the empty throne, and said lightly: "Do you regret it?" β
"What?" Before Shoku could recover from the sudden appearance of Akihiko Kayaba, he heard such a question.
"You will be imprisoned in this world for the rest of your life, and your qualification to survive is in the hands of others, do you regret it?" Kayaba Akihiko looked away from his throne and turned his head to look at the sky, his eyes deep and deep.
"I have no choice, how can I regret it?" Facing the eyes that didn't see any meaning, Xiangkong smiled wrecklessly.
"Yes." Kayaba nodded slightly, then fell silent.
"Why are you here?" Xiangkong looked at him and asked the question he cared about the most.
"Because of the soul that just disappeared..."
"Soul?"
Kayaba Jinghiko said lightly: "Since he has the same thinking and wisdom as a human, he is no longer a simple AI, and he should be given the name of a soul." β
"Do you mean the Oberon who just disappeared?" Xiangkong's brows were locked very deeply, as early as the time of SAO, he deeply understood the horror of intelligent programs, maybe they can't be called programs anymore, just like Yui today, if she changes roles, no one will think that she is a program.
"That's right."
Kayaba Akihiko's eyes suddenly showed a glint of interest, and said: "Autonomous evolution is no longer the privilege of living beings, and now it has been applied to programs, if there are more such beings, then the world that has been found so far may become very interesting." β
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Shoku suddenly had the urge to pry Kayaba's head open.
"It's okay, you don't need to understand."
Kayaba Akihiko smiled faintly, causing Xiangkong's eyes to widen slightly in horror.
"Her name is Yui, isn't she?"
Suddenly, Akihiko Kayaba asked, and as soon as his words fell, a burst of white light appeared in mid-air, and the white light dissipated, and Yui appeared in the room with a blank face.
Xiang Kong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously protected Yui behind him.
Kayaba Jinghiko didn't care about his actions, looking at him, as if he could see Yui through his body, and said lightly: "It's not enough, but it has infinite possibilities." β
"What the hell do you want to do?" Xiangkong stared at him.
Kayaba Jinghiko shook his head slightly, did not speak, with a thoughtful look, this may be the first time Xiangkong saw Kayaba Jinghiko thinking, and he didn't know anything about what he was thinking, but in his opinion, it would probably not be a good thing.
After a long time, the man said, "Xiangkong, I'll give you a choice." β
