The sound of shattering came to the ears of everyone present like an echo, and looking at the fragments that were scattered in all directions, every player seemed to lose consciousness, standing in place like a puppet, including Asuna, Keita, Klein, Akyll and others......

"Cleared the game...... Cleared the game ......"

At the same time, the surviving players turned into a ray of light amid the mechanical sound that resounded throughout Al Grant, and after a flicker, they all disappeared in place with a bewildered expression.

"Kirito !!" Before disappearing, Asuna burst into tears and let out a cry of pain.

……

Here it is......

When Luo Tianhuan regained consciousness again, he found that he did not return to reality, but on a vast and boundless sky, white clouds drifted by, extremely vivid and filled this space, and he was standing in the sea of clouds, as if he was stepping on transparent flat ground, without a sense of weightlessness.

Looking around, Luo Tian suddenly found that in the distant sky, there was a huge floating steel city that was slowly collapsing, as if its life had reached the end, and dense cracks crawled all over the exterior of this steel city, and finally this steel city seemed to be overwhelmed, with continuous sounds, it split into countless fragments from bottom to top, and fell towards the ground that was covered by white clouds.

Al Grant is collapsing...... The game has been cleared......

Luo Tianhuan knows that he is a god horse now, just like in the original book, after Kirito defeated Hitzcliff, Hitzcliff brought Kiritsu and Asuna to this place, and now, Hitzcliff also brought him here, which shows that he is not dead, and Aingrant is collapsing, which also shows that Kirito successfully defeated Hitzcliff.

"Celestial Illusion?"

Just when Luo Tianhuan was doing nothing, a voice full of uncertainty and anxiety came from behind him.

"Yo, Kirito." Turning around, he saw Kirito appear behind him, and Luo Tianhuan said hello.

"You're not dead?" Convinced that the person standing in front of him was Luo Tian's illusion, not his own illusion, Kirito was surprised and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, you want me dead?" Luo Tianhuan glanced at Kirito angrily.

"Uh...... It's just that I didn't expect to see you after opening my eyes, and I was so surprised......" Kirito scratched his head in embarrassment, and then looked at the surrounding environment blankly: "Anyway, where are we now?" Is this paradise? ”

Luo Tianhuan was just about to open his mouth to answer, when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Kirito?"

Hearing this, Kirito turned around sharply, and within his line of sight, a maroon figure also stood in the sky, looking at him, covering his mouth with his hands, and tears flowed down.

"Asuna ......" Kirito didn't expect Asuna to appear here, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Asuna pursed her lips tightly, holding back the cry that was about to blurt out, but after a while, she couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over and threw herself into Kirito's arms.

"Stupid stupid stupid!" Asuna cried and pounded Kirito's chest while shouting, "Do you know how worried I am about you!" ”

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Kirito hugged Asuna helplessly, looking at the other party's pear blossom with rain, and felt a pain in his heart.

"It's my fault, everything is my fault......" Kirito clumsily wiped Asuna from tears from her face with one hand. As long as you don't cry, you can beat me and scold me......"

Hearing this, Asuna raised her head and looked at Kirito's panicked face, but instead snorted and laughed.

"Stupid ......" Asuna buried her face in Kirito's chest.

Kirito was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry to make you worried......"

"Ahem, ahem!!" Luo Tianhuan deliberately coughed a few times vigorously, and pouted unpleasantly: "Hey, hey, hey, you should also pay attention to the occasion when you show affection, don't ignore me, okay?" ”

"......" For Luo Tianhuan, a guy who didn't understand the amorous feelings, Asuna glared at him viciously, rubbed Kirito on his chest a few times, and then looked around: "What is here?" ”

"You ask me......" Kirito shook his head blankly. I don't know......"

Immediately afterwards, Kirito and Asuna also found the collapsing Aingrant in the distance, and when Asuna saw that the 22-story house was also collapsing, she thought of something, and her face turned pale: "West Motor (Oops)!" Yui ......"

"Mom and Dad!"

However, before the words were finished, suddenly, a childish but extremely familiar voice came back from far and near. "This voice ......"

Kirito and Asuna were stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned their heads, only to see, just like when they first met, Yui in a white dress stood not far from the two, and then flew over with joy.

"Yui!" Asuna exclaimed, and when she reacted, she was amazed.

Ran to Yui's side and hugged Yui into her arms, and the tears that Asuna had just stopped had a tendency to flow again.

"Mom......" Yui also hugged Asuna hard, her eyes were hazy, and when she heard the system prompt for clearing the game, Yui originally thought that she would be left alone in this world, and she didn't know when she would be able to wait for redemption......

However, I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes, the person I wanted to see the most was actually in front of my eyes!

At this moment, Yui was satisfied, even if she really couldn't leave this world again, she was satisfied......

"Seeing you like this, it seems that it is right to bring you here......"

The two mothers and daughters who hugged each other trembled, Luo Tianhuan and Kirito frowned at the same time, but they relaxed again, took a deep breath, and slowly smelled the voice, in front of everyone, a young man in a white coat was looking down, the four of them had never seen that face, but Luo Tianhuan and the others were very familiar with his identity.

"Heathcliff......" Kirito shook his head as soon as he said that. No, I should call you Akihiko Kayaba......"

"What the hell is going on?" Asuna asked hurriedly. "Are we all dead?"

"No, you're all still alive......" Heathcliff, aka Akihiko Kayaba, smiled slightly. Ne

veGea

The game helmet needs a buffer of ten seconds to destroy the player's brain, and Kirito-kun defeated me in ten seconds, so Luo Jun didn't die...... Now that the game has been played, I just wanted someone to talk about something, so I brought you to this place......"

"And, of course, her ......" Akihiko Kayaba's gaze lingered on Yui for a few seconds. At least I want to reunite Kirito-kun and your family......"

With Akihiko Kayaba's ability, he naturally knew Yui's identity, and he also knew that Luo Tianhuan had invaded SAO's system and transferred Yui's program to Kirito's Ne

veGea

In the game helmet, so he was not surprised by Yui's presence.

Hearing that she and the others were not dead, Asuna breathed a long sigh of relief, and the big stone in her heart fell immediately.

"And what do you want to tell us?" Taking a step forward, Kirito asked softly, since he was no longer an enemy, Kirito's attitude towards Kayaba Akihiko was much kinder.

Kayaba Akihiko didn't answer, but turned his head, as if mourning something, and looked down intently, as if he was being pulled, and the four of Luo Tianhuan, Kirito, Asuna, and Yui also quietly looked at the collapsed Ayn Grant.

Standing in the sky like this, watching Ayn Grant, who had lived for three years, fall apart, Luo Tianhuan, Kirito, and Asuna couldn't tell what kind of mood they were in now.

Three-year ...... I have lived there for three years, experienced too many ups and downs, and wanted to leave this world more than once, but at this moment, Kirito and Asuna were very reluctant......

As for Luo Tianfan, he didn't think about it so much, but he was also a little reluctant.

"How's that, the view is nice, isn't it?" After a long while, Akihiko Aoba asked lightly, his eyes full of emotion.

"Well, it's beautiful......" Looking at the collapsed Ayn Grant, Luo Tianhuan shook his head with some regret. It's just, is that good? ”

Kayaba Akihiko's eyes trembled for a moment, but quickly calmed down again, and said expressionlessly: "Ah, it has completed its mission, and such a result is undoubtedly the best for it and for myself......"

"Is it ......" Luo Tianhuan stopped talking.

Akihiko Kayaba opened the personal interface and said: "The game has been cleared, and it is now set up on the 5th basement floor of the ARGUS company headquarters, and all the memory devices of the sao console are completely deleting the data, and in another 10 minutes, everything in this world will disappear......"

"And what happened to the players?" Asuna asked. "You're all back to the real world safely, right?"

"Ah......h Just now, a total of 4,325 surviving players have successfully logged out of the game...... As for the dead players, unfortunately, no matter what world they are in, their consciousness will not return......"

4325……

Hearing this number, Kirito and Asuna's bodies couldn't help but tremble, so much so that Asuna couldn't help but hug the Yui in her arms, and even Luo Tianhuan sighed helplessly.

4,325 players, compared to three years ago, in these three years, more than half of the players have died, this heavy number made Kirito clench his fists angrily: "Why...... Why do you want to do this? ”

"Why...... ......Kayaba Akihiko raised his head, as if he was reminiscing, and took a deep breath: "I also forgot for a long time, why? By the time I started working on a fully stealthy environment system, no, long before that......"

"You know, I had a dream from a long, long time ago, of such a world, a perfect world. I lived to create that city, a world that transcended all the frameworks and regulations of the real world. And then at the last moment, I met someone who could transcend the laws of the world that I had created......"

"We have been dreaming a lot since we were young, right? I don't remember how old I was when I was entangled in the fantasy of this floating castle in the sky...... No matter how much time has passed, that imaginary situation still remains vividly in my mind, and as I get older, the images become more and more realistic and expanded. I fantasized about being able to fly off the ground and go straight to that castle...... For a long time, that was my only wish. ”

"To this day, I still firmly believe that there really is a castle in some world......

"Ah, I also think that in a certain world, there really is a floating city like Ayngrant." Luo Tianhuan said softly, looked at Kayaba Jinghiko, and couldn't help shaking his head, in the end, Kayaba Jinghiko is just a poor person bound by fantasy, in order to create the fantasy floating city, he created SAO and Ayn Grant, and in order to make the world he created more realistic, he made SAO a death game.

And there are so many worlds, countless of them, Luo Tianhuan feels that there must be a world that really exists and the floating city of Ayngrant.

"That's good......" Seeing that Luo Tianhuan would actually agree with his fantasy, Kayaba Jinghiko was surprised and shook his head and smiled.

"Also, Luo Jun, I have a question for you......"

"Huh?" Luo Tianhuan was puzzled.

"I've wanted to ask you this question for a long time......" Kayaba Akihiko stared straight at Luo Tianhuan's face and said, "Ever since I decided to turn SAO's into a death game, I've been ready to let this world bear the wrath of everyone, and also let myself bear all the evils......"

"I know that on the day SAO opens the server, when I announce the truth of this world to 10,000 players as an administrator, SAO and I will be resented by everyone, and I have always thought so......"

"But, you're the only one who made me miscalculate for the first time when I always thought so......" Akihiko Kayaba shook his head and smiled. From the time I learned of the existence of you as a person, until now, I have never heard you complain about the world, I have never heard you scold the world, and I have never seen you resentment the world in the slightest......"

"Why? I'm trapping you here, and I'm hanging an invisible sword over your head, which could fall at any moment and kill you on the spot, but why don't you care? ”

Kayaba Akihiko said bluntly, his eyes full of urgency: "Can you answer me, why?" ”

"Why ......" Luo Tianhuan was silent for a while, and spread his hands: "Maybe I'm overconfident in my skills, I think there's nothing in this world to hurt me...... In addition, although this is a death game, but no matter what, a game is a game after all, and if you have to die or live to play a game, then you still have to play a yarn? At least, I still have a lot of fun playing this game. ”

"Really?" Kayaba Akihiko closed his eyes, as if he was personally feeling the last scenery, and his tone was still so flat, as if nothing could surprise him.

After a pause, Kayaba Jinghiko reopened his eyes: "Oh, I forgot to say, Luo-kun, Kirito-kun, congratulations on clearing the customs......"

"Well, then, that's it, it's time for me to go......"

As the words fell, Kayaba Akihiko walked towards the edge of the unknown sky, and his body slowly disappeared as if it had never appeared......

Almost at the same time, a voice sounded in Luo Tianhuan's ears: "Ding~~~ Congratulations to the host, complete dungeon task three - clear all 100 layers of Ayn Grant, reward 500,000 energy points, and three lottery chances for the roulette lottery." ”

Maybe it's because I haven't heard the sound of the system for a long time.,The system prompt sound at this time is heard in Luo Tian's hallucination.,Full of intimacy.,Although it's still ancient.,But it seems to be full of cute cuteness.。

Asuna took Yui's small hand and walked to Kirito's side, her chestnut pupils kept looking at the direction where Akihiko Kayaba disappeared, and whispered, "Has the head of the regiment also returned to the real world?" ”

"I don't know......" Kirito shook his head.

"It's almost time, I should leave too, so I won't disturb your family......" Seeing that Ayn Grant was about to collapse completely, Luo Tianhuan opened his personal interface.

"Oh, by the way, Heavenly Illusion......" Kirito hurriedly stopped Luo Tianxuan. What if we all leave, Yui? ”

"You forgot? The player transfers Yui's program to your Ne

veGea

If your computer skills are good enough, you can restart Yui's program on the computer, so that Yui is equivalent to the existence of artificial intelligence. ”

"Oh, that's it......" Kirito breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Luo Tianhuan seriously: "Tianfan, thank you for helping me all the time, you are my best friend!" ”

"Me too, thank you very much." Asuna also thanked Luo Tianhuan.

"If it's okay, I'll go first, goodbye......" Scratching his head a little embarrassedly, Luo Tianhuan clicked the logout button.

"Uncle Luo Tianhuan, goodbye!" Yui waved her little hand and said goodbye to Luo Tianhuan.

Good bye...... Is it ...... Maybe it's never again......

Shaking his head a little sadly, Luo Tianhuan's body suddenly emitted a burst of white light, the white light flashed a few times, and with a swish, it disappeared with Luo Tianhuan......
