Three days ago, a certain troubled little girl conquered the 40th floor BOSS in just three hours, brutally and unreasonably killed all the BOSSs and reached the 100th floor of the Ruby Palace. This feat was taken for granted. The ground was completely ignited, detonating public opinion in the entire Aincrad world.
Those players who had survived so far began to sing and dance and tell each other, thinking that there was a 'Lone Wolf', an 'Invincible Sword', a 'Her Majesty the Queen', a 'Tower Pusher', and a 'BOSS Terminator'. , 'Kayaba Enemy', 'Star of Aincrad', 'Savior' and other nicknames, thanks to the efforts of the little girl, everyone will soon be able to quit the game and return to the real world to follow When their family and friends gathered together, went to have sex offline, and checked out their bodies that had not been touched for two years, reality gave them a hard blow!
because……
No one knows the reason, and no one knows what happened. Anyway, the little girl never moved again, and the system did not send them any prompts.
So, naturally, in these three days, all kinds of speculations and rumors began to fly everywhere, and the players were going crazy.
Some people say that the little girl has cleared the 100th level of the 'Red Jade Palace', but Kayaba Akihiko went back on his word and only allowed players who had cleared the 100th level to leave? So, that little girl left, leaving thousands of them behind in the world.
Some people also say that because the little girl was too radical, she didn't have time to digest the massive drops after conquering the forty BOSS and use them to strengthen herself, let alone raise her own level to level 100 before she went there rashly. The 'Red Jade Palace' on the 100th floor, so that in the end, it was discovered that the BOSS could not be defeated at all, and he could not even escape, so he was so angry that he was directly hacked to death by the BOSS?
Of course, some people swear that...
In fact, that little girl didn't go to the Ruby Palace on the 100th floor at all. She quickly teleported away after clearing the 99th floor and entered the Ruby Palace. Now she is in the area where the world of Aincrad has been opened. Wandering on one of the ninety-nine floors?
In short, there are many rumors among players in the world of Aincrad, and there are even more rumors. There are all kinds of opinions and versions. In addition, the little girl involved has never She has appeared in public and announced her thoughts or decisions, so basically the current situation is:
No one among the players can convince anyone, and no one believes anyone, even if those rumors do contain some correct information.
It’s been almost two years…
Since 'Sward Art Online' was released on November 6th two years ago and officially started operations at 1 pm that day, players have been trapped in this world of Aincrad for almost two years. In these two years In this game, except for a few heartless ones ((???.???)????), which player doesn’t dream of seeing the day when he can log out of the game and return to the real world?
But now, the little girl has reached the 99th floor from the first floor, and she is just short of the last step, but suddenly nothing happens, and there is no news for three whole days. This situation makes How can those players who have been trapped in the game and in the world of Aincrad for nearly two years, who are anxious and looking forward to 'logging out' of the game and going home in the next second, not be anxious and panicked?
Of course, the one who is most anxious, speechless, and aggrieved right now is Kayaba Akihiko who is sitting on the throne in the Ruby Palace on the 100th floor! !
Because, that bad little girl clearly said she would come after a meal, but in the end...
That meal lasted for three days?
Fortunately, he specially arranged the scene, changed the armor and weapons, and anxiously waited for the final battle to see if the opponent was the person he wanted to find, and whether he could break through his own settings, but in the end, he was actually The Hongyu Palace waited for three full days before letting the other party let go?
In the past three days, there have been quite a few players who ran into the Ruby Palace to investigate and then hurriedly ran out. There were also several madmen who were not afraid of death and were hacked to death by him. But until now, he is still I didn't see the little girl's shadow.
To be honest, Kayaba Akihiko almost wanted to use the GM's authority to teleport the little girl directly to the Ruby Palace, and then force the other party to fight for him.
However, in the end, he did not choose to do that. He could only continue to be patient and wait on his throne, planning to wait until that bad little girl was ready and determined to challenge him!
At this time, a group of people were looking for Annie all over the world. In the end, it was the elusive intelligence dealer, the closed beta player Argo, known as the intelligence dealer 'Rat', who successfully found Cam on the 74th floor. Daito found a troubled little girl who was enjoying braised 'rabbit chowder' in a high-end restaurant owned by an NPC.
"Annie..."
"You are actually here..."
"It's easy for me to find!"
After sighing, the cat-faced girl Argo sat across from Annie's table, and at the same time, she didn't forget to quickly send coordinates and information about finding the target to some people in her friend list.
"I sent you several messages, why didn't you reply to me?"
"Do you know how much impact your sudden disappearance has on the world?"
"If I hadn't seen you still on the list, I would have thought you were dead!"
After looking at what Annie ate, it seemed that it was pretty good. After thinking about it, Argo also picked up the menu and quickly ordered some luxurious dishes for himself.
After all, they have now reached the 100th floor of the Ruby Palace, and they will be completely freed soon. Therefore, there is no need to keep her money, so she should take advantage of the opportunity now. Just consume it quickly.
"You just died!"
ε=(?ˇεˇ??))) Bah! !
"They just didn't remember to open that annoying chat window, and it has been set to mute a long time ago."
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Yes, although Annie is friends with these people, she does not have much contact with them. She never reads those messages on weekdays. Over so long, she has accumulated at least tens of thousands of messages. , how could she look through them one by one?
"Uh-huh……"
(??~??) Chew~!
"Delicious!"
ε=(′?｀*))) It smells so good~
"Miss Argo, the one you ordered doesn't seem to be very tasty. This chowder rabbit meat is better. The braised and grilled ones are the most fragrant!"
?(????)?
Seeing that the other party also ordered a delicious dish and a glass of juice, and when the NPC waiter brought them, Annie quickly corrected the other party.
"Thanks!"
"I don't like eating rabbits!"
Argo ignored Anne's words and just began to enjoy her delicious and luxurious food.
She had a hunch that today's meal would probably be her last meal in the world of Aincrad, so she had to enjoy it thoroughly.
"Alas!!"
!(;?o?)o
"But, the rabbit is so cute and the meat is delicious, why don't you eat it?!"
\(“?□?)/
"Since it's cute, you shouldn't eat it!"
"correct!"
"Annie, is the BOSS in the Ruby Palace on the 100th floor, Kayaba Akihiko, really powerful, so you ran out quickly when you saw that you couldn't defeat him?"
While eating, Argo asked about something she was more concerned about.
In the past three days, the Ruby Palace has been basically investigated. There is no doubt that Asuna's guess three days ago was correct. That Heathcliff was indeed suspicious, because that guy turned out to be the guard of the 100th floor. The BOSS is also Kayaba Akihiko himself?
And this news has spread throughout the entire Aincrad world, and almost all players know it!
but……
It’s no use knowing!
Because no one can be the opponent of Kayaba Akihiko. All the guys who tried to conquer the BOSS, whether out of righteous indignation or otherwise, who dared to break into the Ruby Palace and challenge them, are all dead now. That Kayaba Akihiko was sure to kill him with one strike, and he didn't even have a chance to attack, let alone resist.
Therefore, at this time, at the entrance of the Ruby Palace, the 'Aincrad Army', the 'Army' guild responsible for maintaining law and order in this game world and protecting everyone, dispatched the highest-level guild members to guard the Ruby Palace. Players are temporarily prohibited from entering the entrance of the palace, especially those who are deemed to be ineligible to challenge and die.
"That Kayaba Akihiko..."
"How powerful is he?"
If even the 'Queen of Strategies' in front of them can't defeat Kayaba Akihiko, then they can only level up to level 100 first, then build equipment, and finally form a group to attack.
Anyway, Argo has no other better way.
"How awesome?"
(???.???)????
"Hmm..."
(^～^;)ゞ
"People don't seem to know how powerful it is..."
ヾ(???*)o?
After scratching her head and thinking about it, she took another sip of the drink, and finally looked at the braised rabbit chowder in front of her table. In the end, Anne could only give Argo such a vague statement.
"!!"
"Don't know? Could it be that...you haven't fought him yet?"
Argo was shocked and asked quickly.
She always thought it was because Annie couldn't beat her, so she had to run out. Then she was a little frustrated, so she didn't reply to her message. She even hid here secretly to eat and feel angry!
"No!"
(*^▽^*)
"I was just about to fight, but suddenly I remembered that I hadn't eaten, so I ran out quickly..."
?(￣??)???
"Then, I planned to go in when I was full, but I didn't expect the spicy and delicious layers of food. I just ate the seventy-fifth layer today, and I wanted to wait until I had eaten the ninety-ninth layer. I’m looking for trouble with that guy!”
Hahaha??(???*)
As she spoke, Annie laughed loudly and cheerfully, not caring about what Miss Argo in front of her and Kayaba Akihiko, who was probably peeping at her, would think.
"you……"
"Well?!"
Argo, who was about to say something, suddenly turned aside because she found that after she sent those few messages, someone finally arrived.
"Asuna!"
"Kirito, and..."
"Lizbeth?"
"Why did you come so fast?"
Argo looked a little surprised. He didn't expect these three people to come together.
"Because we happened to have a teleportation point in this city, so we rushed here as soon as possible."
"Hello, Annie!"
"Let me introduce to you. This is my friend Lisbeth. The blacksmith who runs a shop in the Linda Division on the 49th floor of Aincrad. Before you go to level up, you can get all your weapons and equipment. Leave it to her to forge it, it will definitely greatly increase your combat power!"
After Asuna answered Argo's question, she walked next to Anne, then pulled Lisbeth to introduce to Anne.
"Hello!"
"My Lady Queen Anne, I am Lisbeth, please take care of me?"
Lisbeth nervously bowed to Anne.
Obviously, even though she was nervous, she felt honored to be able to meet this legendary being in front of her and even be able to build equipment for him.
"ah?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Forging weapons, why?"
(°ー°〃)
Anne was a little confused, because she never seemed to have said anything about forging weapons and equipment.
"Didn't you run away because you couldn't beat that bastard Kayaba Akihiko?"
"How can you beat that guy without forging it?"
Asuna put her finger on her waist and spoke directly and rudely.
Now she doesn't hate Kayaba Akihiko much, because he actually pretended to be 'Heathcliff' and deceived them for so long, and they respected each other so much in the past, but in the end...
"Didn't they fight him?"
(?~?)
"And how do you know you can't beat him?"
o(*｀ー′)o
"!?"
"Argo?"
Hearing Anne's words, Asuna was startled, and then subconsciously looked towards Argo.
"Feel sorry!"
"Intelligence error!"
"But I won't confiscate your money, so this information doesn't count!"
Argo turned his head to the side in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The information that 'Anne didn't show up for three days because she couldn't beat Kayaba Akihiko' was a wrong guess she made earlier, but now she has understood clearly that the matter was completely false and was made by them at random. of.
"All right!"
"But no matter what, Annie, it's definitely right to strengthen your weapons and equipment! When we all reach level 100, it will be the end of Kayaba Akihiko!"
Asuna said viciously.
"That's right!"
"Annie, let's go this time too. I'm at level 81 now. I will upgrade to level 100 as soon as possible. I will definitely be able to help by then!"
Kirito also stood over.
"..."
=????('ヮ'=????)
Annie was a little strange. She had clearly said that she would go find trouble with that Kayabao when she had enough food and fun. Why did these guys suddenly become so active and make decisions for her?
Moreover, when did she say she wanted help from weird guys like them? !
"Forget it, don't go to so much trouble, I'll go now!!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
With that said, Annie took out the teleportation item directly, and the next second, without waiting for the four people present to react, or for more people to arrive here to discuss countermeasures, she directly teleported in the data stream. And completely disappeared without a trace.
"!!"
"Annie?!"
"No! Look! The friend list shows that she was teleported directly to the Ruby Palace!"
"ah?"
"Quick! Go to the ninety-ninth floor immediately!!"
After a moment of confusion, Argo, Asuna, Kirito and Lisbeth didn't care to say anything more, so they had to get up in a hurry and rush to the ninety-ninth floor.
But...
At this time, Anne had teleported to the Ruby Palace, and dragging her huge sword, she walked step by step towards the slightly surprised, surprised, and relieved Kayaba Akihiko on the throne.
"Are you here?"
"I thought you didn't dare to come..."
Standing up from the throne, Kayaba Akihiko also walked down the stairs step by step towards the little girl, and was mentally prepared to fight with her.
"How could you not come?"
(lll￢▽￢)
"They are just waiting to hack you to death and then go to other worlds to play!"
(?~?)
"Hurry up, I'm too busy to waste time with a bad guy like you!"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Anne also dragged her sword forward step by step.
"Yeah?"
"I am looking forward too……"
"Your evasive movement is really unique. I want to take a closer look. How many strikes of my 'Holy Sword' can you dodge?"
Kayaba Akihiko walked to the last step of the throne stairs, and then slowly pulled out his holy sword that was stored on the inside of the shield.
"You won't get a chance to see..."
?乛?乛?
"watch out!!"
(???)
Kayaba Akihiko had just pulled out his long sword, and before he could prepare for a century-old battle, Annie took the lead and stabbed him in the head, turning into a bolt of lightning and slashing towards his neck!
Then……
Uh-huh! !
Kayaba Akihiko was shocked to find that the little girl's movements were faster than his, a level 100 full-level GM account based on the BOSS template?
So that he didn't see the other party's movements clearly at all?
At the same time, he also discovered that a scar appeared on his neck. Immediately afterwards, his green HP suddenly fell to the bottom, and he was directly hit by the opponent with critical and fatal blows? !
"you……"
Kayaba Akihiko, who was shocked and angry, and didn't want to die like this, immediately opened his character's panel, intending to use his GM authority to modify everything in front of him.
Unfortunately, when he opened the interface, he was shocked to find that for some reason, the bright red word "inoperable" was displayed on his GM character interface? !
"!!"
"You cheated?!"
Before his body gradually became transparent and was about to disappear, Kayaba Akihiko finally came to his senses and glared at the little girl with grief and anger.
"No!"
(?｀?′)
"That's just one billionth of one's true strength!"
?(?????)???
Annie would never admit that she cheated. She just accidentally used a little bit of her strength.
Then, by accident again, her power interfered with the game.
"you……"
Kayaba Akihiko wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything anymore. His body directly shattered into pieces of broken data and completely disappeared into the Ruby Palace.
The next moment!
"!!"
"What, what's going on..."
"Didn't I die? Why did I quit the game..."
Kayaba Akihiko, who slowly opened his eyes, discovered that he had actually appeared in his secret studio?
However, before he could figure out why, the next second, a group of police officers broke in and immediately grabbed him from the medical massage bed, took off his 'NERvGear' helmet and twisted his hands. A pair of handcuffs were put on.
"!!"
"Kayaba Akihiko!"
"You have been arrested for first-degree murder and network interference. You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say next will become evidence in court!"
"Now, come with us!"
After the handcuffs were put on, the two wolf-like Metropolitan Police officers dragged Kayaba Akihiko's still limp body out.
"this……"
"What the hell is going on?"
"I……"
"Shouldn't I be dead?"
Kayaba Akihiko obviously couldn't accept the fact that he could exit the game even if he died.
"There is something wrong with the system!"
"Players who die in the game can exit the game normally, but players who have not died will be life-threatening if they forcefully remove their helmets!"
"So, Kayaba Akihiko, as the instigator, you are now arrested! You will be responsible for the more than two hundred lives on November 6, 22!"
A police officer heard Kayaba Akihiko muttering to himself, so he came over and yelled at him.
"!?"
"How, how could this happen?"
"Pooh!"
"Don't ask me, you'd better save the energy to tell the judge, you bastard! Scumbag!"
"You are dead!"
"You are really dead!!"
Diwu~!
Diwu~! Diwu~!
Soon, with the sound of sirens blaring, the police cars that had accurately located their location and rushed to arrest Kayaba Akihiko escorted their prisoners away.
With the arrest of Kayaba Akihiko, almost at the same time, the players stranded in the world of Aincrad also received this news:
?Ding dong! ?
?The player 'Anne Hastur' defeated the defensive BOSS 'Kayaba Akihiko' in the Ruby Palace on the 100th floor and won a great victory. The world of Aincrad will remember this historic moment! ?
?Death penalty removed...?
?Now, all players can 'log out' of the game normally. Your family, friends and some unexpected surprises are waiting for you. ?
?Special announcement! ?
