Unfortunately, and contrary to the assumptions of some in the IOI, the explosion caused by the pre-planted blasting device and the moat-like bottomless ice cliffs that formed around Anoke Castle did not stop the Oasis players from attacking and advancing!

After the initial confusion and the shouting and name-calling......

Soon, the Oasis players used various means, or flying, or gliding, or jumping, or building bridges, plus a new portal that a little girl mage flew down again, and with the help of a new portal that a little girl mage flew down again, the players successfully broke through the gate of Anoke Castle defended by the IOI soldiers in less than five minutes, and directly rushed into the huge castle with an unstoppable and powerful attitude, and began to fight the final 'street battle' with the IOI soldiers who were defending and resisting in the castle.

In the castle......

Although the IOI soldiers used the terrain and fortifications in the castles to make the players pay a heavy price, however, the number of players in the oasis is too much, and there are still millions of players outside Anoke Castle who have not been able to squeeze in, so the damage of those IOI soldiers is nothing in front of the huge number of players.

Da! Da! Da! Da!

'Hold! ’

'Defend me!' Knock them out for me! ’

'Fire!' Fire!! ’

‘！！ ’

'What are they going to do?' ’

'Not good! It's turtle school qigong!! ’

'What?! ’

Boom Rumble......

After a slight explosion that shook the entire castle, the defense line of the castle's inner doors and passages, which had been heavily guarded by the IOI soldiers and even annihilated hundreds of Oasis players, was broken through in an instant, and countless players rushed in with a howl again.

'You ......'

'Damn! ’

'Good! Good! Good! ’

'You—you're waiting for me......

Nolan Sorrento, who had logged in to another account and resurrected again, had just rushed out of the portal controlled by their IOI, and after seeing that the tide was gone, seeing the staff of his company, and seeing that the easter egg hunter who was playing Halliday's "Adventure Game" was blown up from behind by those hateful players and completely occupied the easter egg race square, and then he still rushed towards the inner part of the castle without stopping, wanting to completely annihilate the remnants of his own team, he knew that everything was over......

Therefore, after gritting his teeth, he resolutely decided: since those oasis cyber mobs don't let him have a good time, then he will definitely not let them have a good time!!

‘！！ ’

'Huh?! ”

"It's you...... Elok? What are you doing here?! ’

Nolan Sorrento, who had just clicked on his player interface and was about to take out something, was suddenly shocked, and when he turned his head, he saw a certain Elok running towards the portal here with the Osevox orb.

'That ......'

'Ahem! ’

'Nolan, anyway, you IOI are all lost, so it's not too much for me to recycle this thing, right? You know, although it's a bit unreliable, and it's easy for the enemy to take advantage of it, maybe it can be used in the future, right? ’

'So ......'

Elok pointed to the Orb of Ausawox he was holding in his hand and said with a little embarrassment.

This is something he finally got after accepting the other party's commission before, and he just lent it to IOI to use, but he didn't say sell it directly! So, now that the other party has run out, it's time for him to recycle and get out of here...... Over the years, he has earned so much net worth from IOI, but he hasn't enjoyed it enough, so he doesn't want to die here for IOI so unexplained.

'Lost? ’

'Humph! Not necessarily!! ’

Seeing that countless players were already screaming and rushing towards the platform below, and a few bullets flew up from time to time, remembering that the hunter who was playing Halliday's "Adventure Game" was beaten to death just now, and remembering the good thing that was ruined by those mob players when he was about to clear the level and get the easter egg, in addition to anger and chagrin, Nolan Sorrento finally smiled sadly and grabbed something from the player storage compartment of his account.

Now it seems that they did lose the IOI, but it is not certain who will win and who will lose in the end!!

‘！！ ’

'This is ......'

Seeing what the other party was doing, Elok couldn't help but be shocked, and then suddenly had some bad premonitions.

'Humph! ’

It's called—Son of Destruction!' A gadget bought with two million game coins! ’

Nolan Sorrento gritted his teeth as he pinched the cylindrical shape in his hand and the prop with the red and blue liquid in it.

For IOI Online Creative Company, a one-time prop of two million game coins is nothing, because they have lost at least a billion game funds by now in this battle! If, after paying so much, he still fails in the end, and he still has to give away that damn Halliday's easter egg, that's the last thing he can bear!

So, since those Internet mobs don't let him get better and don't let him get easter eggs, then they don't want to get any of them! Moreover, this matter is not over yet, anyway, their IOI family has a big business, he can kill everyone on this planet first, and then go back and use the spare backup account to break through again, and those players, once they are cleared, if they want to catch up with them or come here, it will be extremely difficult.

So, now he wants to let their Oasis cyber mobs know that if they want to fight him Nolan Sorrento, they are still a little tender!!

‘！！ ’

'Wait! ’

'Let me leave this ...... first'

Elok remembered what the Child of Doom was, which, once activated, could kill an entire planet or an entire quest map! So, when he hurried towards a certain portal, he also wanted to tell that Nolan Sorrento: you want to blow up yourself and the people of the whole planet, that's no problem, but can you let me get out of here first?!

However......

'Humph! ’

'Die to me!!' ’

That Nolan Sorrento didn't care about Alok's words, or the other party's speeding up to rush into the portal, just gritted his teeth and watched as the players poured into every passage of Anoke's Castle and were shooting at him from a distance, and writhed the 'Children of Destruction'!

In a flash!

The activated item erupted into a terrifying shockwave that swept out in all directions, and then instantly smashed Nolan Sorrento himself, a certain Elok who was running towards the portal while cursing, and directly drowned the Oasis players who were attacking them, and then shattered them and all the IOI soldiers who were still alive and the massive army of players who were about to be completely victorious.

“！！”

! (; ﾟoﾟ)o

"Wow!!"

!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

Annie, who had just descended from the sky and proudly switched VF-25 to its human form, had apparently seen the terrifying shockwave that swept in! Then, before she could exclaim, the shockwave swept straight through her VF-25, sweeping her VF-25 into ashes, and she disappeared from the cab in an instant......

Not long after, when the shockwave swept through the entire Dead Planet at a rapid speed, there was nothing left of Anoke Castle, which had just been bustling with and bustle with at least millions of players, except for the gold coins, gunsmoke, and silence all over the ground.

Of course, players who were in other teleportation areas on the Dead Planet and were rushing here were also killed in an instant, leaving the place full of golden coins and all kinds of explosive items and weapons.

……

'Humph! ’

'It's all over! ’

In the IOI headquarters building, Nolan Sorrento opened his eyes with a gloomy expression, and then, he was ready to ask the people in the company to prepare immediately, let those backup accounts log in quickly and rush to Anoke Castle before other players, and then build a fixed portal and re-arm there and make the final break.

And this time, he won!

Because, after so many players are cleared, presumably in a short period of time, their online mob will definitely not be able to organize a second wave of attacks, and those guys in the slums will still be a little tender if they want to fight his IOI.

It's just that what Nolan Sorrento doesn't know is that at this time, in Anoke's castle, there are still two people alive, and they are Anne Hasta, who is the first in the Easter egg standings, and Parsifal, who is in second place!

"Who is it?!"

“！！”

"Ann, Annie, but how are you all right?"

Parsifal was about to start the final stage of the level, and was about to get the Easter egg of Halliday, when he turned around with his weapon, only to find that it was actually a little guy he knew who was walking in with her hideous stuffed toy bear looking left and right?

"It's easy!"

(*^▽^*)

"He's a mage, he just teleported back to the Oasis Center in an instant, and then he teleported back here just now, of course they'll be fine!"

(^_−)☆

There's no way, the mage in the game is so high-end and high-grade, and there are many skills to escape! So, the last big move that those IOI villains put on must be helpless against her! It's a pity that her VF-25 didn't survive...... But it doesn't matter, because just now Anne has snuck all the way in, and she has already picked up enough money for her to squander for several years, enough for her to not have to farm copies for a long, long time!

（…… ）

(●￣㉨￣●)

"What about you? How did you not get blown up?! ”

(｡ •ˇ‸ˇ•｡ )

Anne stared at the bad guy named Parsifal in front of her with some suspicion, because she knew that even if there was a resurrection item, it should be teleported back to the safe zone of the Oasis Center and resurrected, and the other party was still here, so it was really very suspicious.

"Me?"

"I'm because when I was cracking the second clue of Halliday, the librarian gave me a gold coin that would give me a life!"

Thinking about the arcade coin that he had just thought was useless, Parsifal couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the director of the library and silently thanked him.

"So that's it?"

ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)♪

"And what are you doing now?"

ヾ(✪▽^*)))

“……”

"I'm playing this game of Halliday's Adventure Game, as long as I pass it, I can get the last key, and then get that easter egg!"

Since it was his own, Parsifal was finally relieved to turn his head again, and began to play his cassette game on the fourteen-inch black-and-white television.

"Is this going to be cleared?"

(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣

"No ......"

"This game is not about winning, it's about playing! Need to find easter eggs in a dark room, do you want to try them? ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little interested, Parsifal graciously handed over the same backward gamepad.

"Don't!"

(눈_눈)

"This kind of shabby game is so ugly! People refuse! ”

（ಠ╭╮ಠ）

What a messy adventure game, it still looks like a black and white square light point, the silhouette of the characters is unrecognizable, the walls are also squares, and it's a flat game, she shouldn't play this kind of thing that insults IQ!

“！！”

"Great! Annie, I found it!! ”

However, Anne had just twisted her cute little head because of her ugly refusal, and that Parsifal actually cheered directly, as if she had completed a certain task?

“！！”

! (; ﾟoﾟ)o

“？？”

Then, to his surprise, Parsifal discovered that the two of them, including Anne, had been transported together into a strange scene full of golden coins.

'Welcome! ’

'You're welcome here......'

As the two of them looked at the giant 'easter egg' above the pile of coins, and hesitated to take it, a whirlpool appeared, and then the image of Halliday's game, the prophet Anoke, appeared in the golden room.

"It's you!!"

↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o☄

Seeing the other party, Anne subconsciously grabbed a fireball again.

“……”

"Little girl, are you going to attack me again?"

Watching Annie's movements, the Arnoke, or Halliday, sighed and shook his head with some regret.

"Huh?"

∑(´△｀)？！

"Wait...... That's not right! You guys are weird, they didn't say you're dead...... Wow! People know, you are actually a digital life?! ”

!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

Anne, who was thinking about whether to burn the other party again, suddenly exclaimed, and then extinguished the game skill fireball in her hand, and then took a few steps forward, ran to the other party's side, and just looked around the other party and sighed in amazement.

“……”

"Who are you? How do you see that? ”

After a while, Halliday, who was also frowning and staring at the little girl, didn't even want to do the thing of guiding Parsifal to get the easter egg, and then the picture turned again, and the golden treasure house just now disappeared in an instant, and Anne and Parsifal and a certain James Halliday, who appeared in the attic-like living room of another messy looking house.

"Anne Hasta!"

o(* ̄) ̄*)Android

"He's the most of the most powerful, the most powerful, the most powerful arcane archmage, the real mage, the kind in the real world!!"

(｡ •̀ᴗ-)✧

Even, in the game?

Because ah, if Anne wants to, she can interfere with the game world at any time, and even interfere with this undead digital life in front of her!!

"Mage?"

"What's that......"

Halliday looked a little puzzled, not knowing what the little girl in front of her meant by the Olympiad Archmage, and why she could see that she was wrong at a glance.

"She also knows magic in the real world, and she also helped us fight off IOI's armed security guards, and she also protected us from IOI's capture, and she also said magic that she learned in the game!"

Although he didn't know what the two were talking about, or why he was teleported here, Parsifal hastened to add, and seemed to want to hear something valuable from Halliday's mouth, such as how to learn skills in the game and bring them to the real world?

"People haven't said that, it's obviously what you think!"

(￢д￢。 )

Yes, Anne didn't say that, at most she misled some of the idiots a little, but she didn't bother to explain too much about it.

（…… ）

(●￣㉨￣●)

"That's ......"

"The world is so big, it's really ...... wonders"

"Alas......"

Unfortunately, Halliday knew that he was dead, at least in the real world, and it was impossible to go back...... Besides, there are no thoughts and people in the real world that make him want to go back.

"Aren't you just as weird?"

(lll￢▽￢)

Hearing the other party say that she was strange, Anne also refuted the other party unceremoniously.

"Oh! yes......"

"You don't have to look at him, he's me a long time ago......"

"I like him to be there for me......"

After noticing that Anne seemed to be staring at a little boy sitting on a small couch playing a cassette game not far away, Halliday hurriedly explained.

"He's also a digital life you made?"

(°ー°〃)

"Wow! You're so messed up, you actually split your soul memory from your childhood self!! ”

━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン

After a few more glances, Anne still didn't know what the other party had done. Therefore, she couldn't help but be a little amazed at the nonsense of this bad old man with glasses, but she didn't expect the other party to even dare to do that kind of thing, it was really ignorant and fearless!

"It seems that you are really special, even know this......"

Halliday's brow furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't figure out what the little girl in front of him was.

"Hah!"

๑乛◡乛๑

"You're going to be uncomfortable when you conjure him out, and then you need him to be around you, right?"

(„ಡωಡ„)✧

“……”

"That's right!"

"yes, that's what I never expected......"

Halliday, dressed as a scruffy old otaku, smiled bitterly, then lifted his glasses and nodded in acknowledgement as if he was not good at words.

"Although you have discovered some secrets of the soul......"

(๑ ̅ꇴ ̅๑)Hehe!

"However, the soul is not as simple as you think, and if you divide it casually, you will definitely be in big trouble! People tell you, once upon a time, they met a guy named Voldemort, who split his soul seven times, and then he didn't look like a person anymore! ”

↜(ψ｀▽′)o

Although Anne will not help the other party, it does not prevent her from giving a few words to this ordinary person who is obviously an ordinary person without any special powers, but in the end has created a field and discovered a part of the mystery of the soul.

“……”

"Thank you for your heartfelt words, but I think I've learned my lesson now......"

Looking at the other side of the self who was intently playing that black-and-white cassette game, Halliday smiled wryly again.

"Wait!"

"I don't understand!"

"What the hell were you two talking about? Also, who the hell are you? Isn't James Halliday dead? But why don't I think you're an NPC? ”

Finally, after listening to the conversation between the two for a long time, Parsifal, who felt that he did not seem to understand well, hurriedly interjected to interrupt the exchange between the two and questioned Halliday.

“……”

However, Halliday didn't explain, just shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the little girl, as if he wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

"You're stupid!!"

(lll￢▽￢)

"This James Halliday did die in the real world, but he doesn't know how he used to gain some kind of immortality in the oasis!"

ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧

"Because, when he controls this world and creates a new world in another oasis game world that the player can't touch, he lives in digital form in the middle, and everything he sees, touches, and eats becomes real! So, in a sense, he is not dead, and he has become an immortal being in his oasis world, that is, in a sense, God! ”

(✧◡✧)

"How's that, isn't it amazing?!"

(^_−)☆

Anne had just searched the game with her own senses, and she did find a world that was separate from the Oasis game world, a world created by Halliday himself, a world that players were not allowed to touch and enter!

Therefore, she was sure that the Halliday in front of her must have discovered something, and dared to explain it to some stupid fellow.

“？？？”

"Impossible!"

"To be dead is to be dead, how can you still be alive in the game? This oasis world is obviously virtual, how can it become real?! ”

Parsifal still couldn't understand the nonsense that the little girl in front of her was saying.

"Hey~!"

ε=( ́ο'*)))) Alas

Anne didn't want to explain, because a fool is a fool after all, and if she doesn't understand, she doesn't understand, so she doesn't bother to say so much!

That Parsifal, or Wade Watts, the other party thinks that this oasis world is virtual, but how can others see their real world as not virtual? Is their earth really the real earth? How do they know that their bodies, their minds, their clothes, their houses, their land, their food, their air, and so on, what they see, touch, breathe, and think about are not all a bunch of data?

So, there is not much of a boundary between the real and the unreal, in Anne's opinion......

In Anne's view, this oasis world is nothing more than the risk of server shutdown or explosion destruction...... However, as long as that Halliday is smart enough, as long as the Oasis server has enough computing power, he can set the time of the world he lives in to hundreds or thousands of times the time of the server's real world, and then any problem can be solved!

For example, one day of the earth in the real world outside them is equal to 10,000 days in the world where he lives in the 'Oasis', and one year in the outside world is equal to 10,000 years in the world he lives in, so that's about the same, right?

You know, how long has it been since the human race on Earth had a written record? If there were 10,000 years or more, he would definitely be able to find another way to transcend himself or get rid of the limitations of the server, right?

Of course, if you still can't find it by then, you deserve it!!

“……”

"Okay, I was going to test you, but ......"

"Forget it, since my secrets have been discovered by you weird little guy, it's almost time for me to leave......"

"Oh! And easter eggs! ”

"That Easter Egg ......"

"Wait, let me find ....... first"

Halliday struggled for a while, but finally decided to end the conversation between himself and the two players in front of him, especially the terrible little girl who wanted to get away from the little girl who was faintly uneasy to him and saw through all his secrets at a glance!

So, he began rummaging through his chaotic living room.

"I remember where I put it......"

Maybe it's been too long to immerse himself in his own world, maybe it's been a long time since he's been here, maybe Anne's guess is really what Halliday is doing, so he forgot where to hide the most important easter egg and has to start rummaging around.

"Oh!"

"Found it, here...... Give, though, which of you wants this easter egg? Let's say okay first, ask me if there is only one, and the stock can't be divided equally......"

Holding the easter egg in his hand, Halliday spoke.

Now that he's done, it's time for him to cut ties with the 'real world' out there!

"Give it to him! People don't want this thing of yours! ”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

Anne looked disgusted, and she didn't take to heart the easter eggs that the people of the entire Oasis world dreamed of and that IOI's villain Nolan Sorrento did everything possible, even at any cost, even if it was murder and arson.

“……”

Parsifar didn't know what to say, but stunned to take the heavy egg from Halliday, who had walked up to him, and still radiated light and heat.

"That's it!"

"It's time for me to go, Oasis, it's up to you......"

With that, Halliday beckoned to the little boy who was still playing a game in the distance, and then after one last look at the two of them, he took the little boy's hand and opened the wooden door of the messy room to step out.

"Wait!"

"You, who the hell are you? I don't understand, isn't Halliday dead? And who the hell are you?! ”

Parsifal still didn't understand, but he felt that he seemed to have discovered something more important than an easter egg. Therefore, while opening his mouth to continue to ask, his breathing couldn't help but become short.

“……”

"Parsifal, or Wade Wads......"

"I can't answer that question right now, but I can give you a small hint: don't give up on the 'Oasis' when you reach the end of your life, and then you will surely find that it can give you unexpected surprises."

"Maybe, maybe we'll see each other again?"

With that, Halliday led his childhood self, opened the door, and stepped out and closed it gently.

"Hey!"

"Wait!!"

Parsifal tried to chase him out and ask more clearly, but he couldn't open the seemingly thin wooden door.

“！！”

"What the hell does he mean?"

Parsifal had no choice but to turn his head again and look at a little girl who seemed to understand and gave the egg to herself.

"That's what it means literally!"

٩(๑ ́0'๑)۶Ahoh~!

After yawning and stretching, Anne said that she also seemed a little tired after playing the Oasis game for so long, and it was time to leave the game.

But......

Until then, she is going to use the huge amount of money she has picked up around this Arnoke Castle to eat, drink and be merry, and when it is time to leave, she will give the rest of the money to the unconscionable profiteer Edge, who was killed by the villains of IOI with a big move and caused the data to be cleared?

After all, the other party has helped her so much, she can't help but express it a little.

（…… ）

(●￣㉨￣●)

(Tiebs doesn't want to speak, because ah, some of his bad little masters have just taken the lead in picking up all the gold coins and items dropped by millions of players around Arnoke Castle before refreshing, and God knows how rich and arrogant she is now?!) ）

“！！”

"Hey! Wait a minute! ”

Parsifal just wanted to continue asking something, but saw that the little girl's body directly turned into a pile of data droplets, and she didn't know whether to quit the game or teleport away......
