Before everyone reacted at all, Akihiko Ashiba had already fully understood.

The red-cloaked giant above the sky was silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Looks like I guessed right, it's just ...... What the hell are you? Why is it here? ”

"It's too rude to ask this kind of question, Akihiko Kayaba, not to mention...... You don't need to understand what is in front of you, you're not a believer in me, you don't need to please me, do you? ”

Mo Chen laughed heartily, and seemed to be unfathomable, but in fact, he answered the other party's question perfunctorily.

"......" Kayaba Akihiko didn't speak, but the red cloak giant of the projection directly raised his right hand, and from the enlarged cuffs, the pure white gloves could be seen.

However, the sleeves and gloves are also clearly separated from each other, and the flesh is completely invisible.

The red-cloaked giant pointed straight down, pointing to the only figure on the platform.

However...... Nothing happened.

"Don't you want to be so decisive, it doesn't make sense, does it?" Mo Chen said with a smile, "Even if you still have the authority to erase it now, it's just that you have deleted one of my images, and you can't change the ...... of the facts."

“……”

“……”

The crowd in the audience was silent, they felt that their brains were dead, and they had no way to process such complex information as they received.

Even though a small number of people had already vaguely reacted, they still felt incredulous, and couldn't help but look at the person on the stage and the red cloak giant in the sky with a strange gaze.

Sure enough, no matter what, it still makes people feel unbelievable, and the scene in front of them is just too much information, and there is no shocking feeling.

For the time being, they prefer to believe that this is a good show directed and acted by Akihiko Kayaba.

“…… What the hell are you? Kayaba was silent again for a moment, then slowly asked again.

"It's okay for you to treat me as a virus, anyway, the definition is pretty much the same, and I don't care too much about this kind of thing......" Mo Chen touched his chin, blinked his eyes and said, "It's just, how did you find me?" ”

"......" This time it was Akihiko Kayaba's turn and he didn't speak.

"Don't you want to say it, it's okay, but I advise you to stop what you're doing now, although I'm out, it doesn't mean that there is only one me ......"

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, and then said kindly.

"The seed of nightmares is a psychic virus, although it can be used as a medium of transmission through data and information, but it is mainly aimed at your spiritual and mental level, even if you let them go offline directly, it will not help, my existence will only extend to your real world with their thinking consciousness......"

"Nightmare Seed ......" chewed on the ominous term, and Akihiko Kayaba stopped his secret operation.

He was indeed thinking that since the other party had jumped out, he might be able to bet that at this time, there would be no problem for others.

It's just that it seems to be doomed to failure from the beginning, and the form of existence of this thing is difficult to understand, but the degree of intelligence is extremely high, and it is not just a rigid mechanical calculation and execution of instructions, and it will not leave such an obvious flaw.

It's just that why does it have to remind itself that if it lets itself gamble like this, won't it go straight into the real world? Or is it ...... Is it actually lying to itself?

So what should be done? Do you want to take a risk?

Seeming to see Aoba Jinghiko's thoughts, Mo Chen laughed again and said softly:

"Maybe it's better not to take the risk, my advice is, should you listen to my conditions first? I think if it were you, you'd be happy to see it happen......"

"Hey, that's enough! How long do you want to keep acting? Are they all fooling us? ”

Finally, a man with a fierce face couldn't help it anymore and asked angrily. These are two people talking to themselves, and they think they can be used as monkeys?!

"Huh?" Mo Chen, who was interrupted from speaking, turned his head and looked at it lightly.

In an instant, everyone in the audience had constricted their pupils, their faces turned pale, and they were in a cold sweat.

A huge sense of oppression greeted them, as if the atmosphere had been frozen in an instant, and the space had been frozen, making their faces change greatly.

The male player with a fierce face who bore the brunt of the attack had a blank brain, and his legs were weak and he sat down, and his thinking stopped instantly.

This moment, just a moment, is completely sufficient......

They immediately understood the essence of this man as a real monster.

The huge violence completely overrides the human race, and there is obviously no huge size and hideous appearance like those guarding the boss, and there are no all the factors that make people afraid just by seeing it.

But...... But...... That is a spiritual substance, the so-called momentum of such a mysterious thing, can it really exist?

They had fought bosses before, and they thought it was really imposing.

Now that I think about it, if the boss didn't have such a terrible shape and size, it wouldn't have been a deterrent at all...... Even if it's a cat, if it's enlarged to the size of an elephant, it will also make people feel very imposing.

If you think about it now, that momentum is not real momentum at all.

And now this kind of spiritual impact that is like a substance is to make them really feel from their souls that they are like an insignificant speck of dust in front of them, how insignificant.

I can't resist, I can't even think of resisting.

"Kayaba Akihiko, you created the seed of the world, The Seed, but it's not enough to fully realize your dream, just like this game, it seems to be perfect, but even the liquid effect can't be fully simulated......"

Retracting his gaze, Mo Chen continued to raise his head to look at the projection above the sky, and said-

"I know your dream, about the castle that you imagined floating in the air when you were a child, and Ayn Grant is the vehicle you want to make it happen, isn't it? But are you satisfied? ”

“……”

“……”

"What are you trying to express?" Akihiko Kayaba asked in a deep voice.

"I can make your dreams come true and make your castle in the air more real...... I also have one of the world's seeds here, I call it the STEM system, which may be a perfect complement to your The Seed. ”

Mo Chen smiled slightly, and his words became low, with the magic of devilish bewitchment.

"What?" Akihiko Kayaba seemed to be a little confused.

"I can provide you with technical support, but on the contrary, you have to make sure that you have to make sure that the conditions are sufficient...... Human imagination and subconscious are very potential, as long as countless people's minds come together, they can definitely create a spiritual space parallel to reality. ”

Mo Chen explained seriously, as if he was talking about an ordinary trivial matter.

"And my Nightmare Seed is the basis that binds together the brainwaves of all the humans in your world...... I'm sure you'll understand what I mean. ”

“…… I don't understand. The red-cloaked giant didn't seem to want to answer the question, and was silent for a long time before uttering a low voice.

"Oh, don't kid yourself, Kayaba Jinghiko, you're not the savior, you're the demon king who destroys the world...... Look at the people here, they're all players you've tricked in, and tens of thousands of people have died in just one month. ”

Mo Chen continued disappreciatively, he knew that he had won, but he just needed to take some time to break down the other party's self-deceptive spiritual defense.

If it weren't for the conditions, you would never be satisfied with your own "world" There are only such a few people, and if you can use your own "world", you will never hesitate...... You're such a ruthless person. ”

“……”

“……”

"So, stop clinging to those ridiculous ideas, you've killed thousands...... In that case, why not keep clinging to your dreams? ”

Mo Chen said in a low voice, narrowing his eyes slightly, and chaos began to flow.

"If you really want to be a savior, then just hand over The Seed, but if you're not in the mood for such a boring idea...... So, how about joining my team? ”

Akihiko Kayaba still didn't speak, just silent.

Mo Chen didn't urge, just waited quietly, and the others were even more silent, and the audience was as quiet as death.

It's just that they all pursed their lips tightly and looked at the red cloaked giant nervously, for fear that the other party would really be persuaded so easily.

Is everything in front of you real?

Aren't you really dreaming?

The mind is chaotic, they can't calm down at all, and the inexplicable uneasiness, fear, and depression all hold their minds tightly.

"Finally got you...... I don't know what you are, but as long as you show up in front of my eyes, it's there. ”

At this moment, Akihiko Kayaba's deep voice came again, but this time it seemed to be relieved-

"Now let me take a look at your source code and see what your essence is."

As the words fell, Mo Chen's figure seemed to be suddenly disturbed by something, and it suddenly became blurred.

Ripples and ripples flowed through his body with countless rapidly changing data like a turbulent flow of information...... It's as if a virtual program is about to reveal the data code that is the essence of the world.

Everyone's eyes lit up suddenly, and then they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and felt that Akihiko Kayaba was simply handsome at this moment!

The other party really deserves to be a genius, and the anthropomorphic monster that appears now can't fight against human intelligence, even if it is a tricky and highly intelligent virus!

It thinks it's in control!

But I don't know the truth that the villain died from talking too much! I don't know the law that evil cannot defeat good and that all human beings are powerful!

"Look...... What is my essence? ”

Mo Chen's expression became a little subtle in an instant, and then although his body seemed to be collapsing, he was a little out of breath with a smile.

"Hahaha...... But, yes...... Hahahahaha......ha

Everyone else froze, unaware of why, but suddenly felt some unknown fear creep into their consciousness slowly, but surely and coldly, and gradually overwhelm the other senses.

There was no way to pinpoint the source of this fear, so it became even stronger.

"Hug Qian, it's rude...... Hahaha...... I'm sorry, I really don't want to laugh...... Hahaha...... It's just that you guys are really amazing......"

Although he said sorry, Mo Chen's tears burst out of laughter, and he finally took a breath.

"But as a recognition of you, I can't say nothing at all, so be it - if any of you haven't gone crazy afterwards, then I promise that nothing else will hurt him in the future......"

His figure became more blurry and confused, like an image of a projector projected after it had hopelessly lost focus.

The crowd began to riot and retreat in horror, having discovered that it was this change that was the source of their trembling and that it was still fueling their fears repeatedly.

The premonition that seemed to tingle the nerves in the cerebral cortex and even throughout the body throbbed maddeningly in their brains, making the fear more and more intense.

In the next moment, the image of that person was finally completely blurred, and the black chaos diffused like a materialized smoke, condensing some indescribable outline.

It was frantically expanding, biting angrily, thicker and denser, almost quickly enveloping the entire huge town square, and even covering the whole world.

It was a sight they would never forget, as if an ancient abyss of abomination had stirred up from the eerie darkness, sending out a throbbing sound. They subconsciously looked around, trying to ask for help from their companions, only to find that they were all gone.

And then, all of a sudden, it all ended, until they woke up from their real-world hospital beds—

Suddenly, the entire sky erupted into a scream of pain that echoed wildly, and countless trees and lakes mixed with the building materials and fell continuously...... It was a catastrophe created by fire, smoke, and loud noises, blinding, deafening, and Ayngrant slowly crumbled like a film peeling back a membrane.

Angry and furious chaos revealed its true form, swirling in the crumbling giant floating castle, forever.

……

……

Reality.

On the fifth basement floor of the ARGUS head office, in front of the SAO-dedicated mainframe, as always, a large group of experts were surrounded.

"Still no, it's impossible for us to shut down the server and protect the consciousness of the players connected to it from ......shock," someone shook his head and said in a dejected manner.

"It's hard to start with a personalized device, and now even the main servers are the same, but Akihiko Kayaba has basically thought of everything we can think of...... Is it true that there is no hope at all, and that those victims cannot be saved? ”

Someone sighed in agreement, feeling like they couldn't start.

"Huh? Wait, look at the light, I think it's like the server is using all the memory to completely delete the files...... This generally seems to be an automatic setting for the shutdown of the server? ”

At this time, some of the more perceptive guys noticed the change.

So the scene suddenly became chaotic-

"Quick! Quickly check the status of the host, it can't be a failure, right? ”

"Call and check and see if those gamers can log out!"

"But there's no reason, could it be that there was an accident inside?"
