Raise your hand and a breeze will appear naturally, blowing away the clouds in front that are blocking your view, revealing the buildings behind.
Countless islands float in the clouds, and in the middle of the islands, there is a castle built of rock and steel.
"What is that?"
Tamamonomae looked at it carefully and found it strange.
There is no medium, it just floats there, it doesn't look like magic, but if it's not magic, what could it be?
"...Floating Castle, Aincrad."
Yuzhongjin said this name.
That’s right, this is the world of Sword Art Online.
I didn’t expect that the third [Exploration] copy would be here.
Not the real world, but a virtual game space.
“Chiu-woo!”
Fu Fu, the pitch-black fox lying on Yu Zhuan Jin's shoulder, suddenly called out to the back.
"who is it?!"
Tamamonomae raised his gun and aimed at the figure, but when his eyes fell on the other person, he couldn't help but be stunned.
A man of ordinary appearance, with short hair, medium build, wearing a shirt, trousers, a tie, and a white coat, dressed like a scientific researcher.
No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person.
but……
The other party was standing in mid-air.
Normal people can't do this.
A golden glow flashed across his ruddy eyes, and in that brief moment, Yuzhong Jin used his "Magic Eyes: Clairvoyance" to obtain basic information about the other party.
-
[Real name: Kayaba Akihiko (projection)]
[Level: None (Projection)]
-

"I haven't even done the data connection yet, but you guys still managed to hack into the Sword Art Online system. There was no alarm, only a message saying that the model was wrong."
Kayaba Akihiko identified Ootenzu and Tamamonomae as hackers, and as for the pitch-black fox that was howling, it was probably the intelligent system used by the other party.
"Model error?"
Yu Zhuanjin thought about it and then realized that the other party should be talking about the way she had cleared the fog before. Although in her opinion it was just an ordinary behavior, it was a logical error in this world of data.
The cloud code is deviating from its original running track.
If it was a handover between codes, logic would allow and re-judge, but Yuzhong Jin skipped that step, resulting in a phenomenon similar to derailment.
Yuzhongjin's system loads it into the data world, but this world itself has another system, which is responsible for running all the programs in the virtual world.
The authority to create and destroy the world is all within it.
The only manager is the man in front of him.
However, even if the "delete" command is issued, Miojin and Tamamonomae will not die. They are loaded into this world but are independent of it.
Is a special individual.
"I'm sorry, this is going to be hard to fix."
Yuzhongjin apologized for this.
"The problem is not serious. The program is still running. As long as it can continue to run stably, the bug is not a bug."
Kayaba Akihiko didn't care.
“I understand this!”
Yu Zhuanjin understands this all too well. After all, she was once one of the top members in the industry, and occasional bugs are necessary program logic.
Don't worry about how many errors it reports, as long as it works, don't mess with it anymore.
"On the contrary, what means and purpose did you two use to come here?"
Kayaba Akihiko stared at Ootenzu and Tamamonomae, his curiosity outweighing his guard.
One is wearing a shrine maiden costume, and the other one is COSing as a fox girl.
They don't look like the European guys.
"You've been very rude since just now. Who do you think you are? How dare you..."
Tamamonomae's eyes were sharp, and she felt that Kayaba Akihiko had no respect for Ootenzu at all.
"Tamamo-mae."
With a shout from Miojin, Tamamonomae was stopped from behaving recklessly.
Hearing this, Tamamonomae turned around with some surprise in her eyes. Yuzhongjin actually said her real name in front of that human. In other words, that human was "qualified".
Know their true qualifications.
"… Lord Inari! That guy is so lucky to have seen your divine body, but now he has no respect for you."
Tamamonomae, relying on his divine power, said, "He wants to control us even though we are just standing here. Can this world really belong to him?"
"Ah."
Yuzhongjin nodded slightly.
"That's what I said. He's just nosy..."
Tamamonomae wanted to continue yelling, but the next second she suddenly realized that Yuzenjin had nodded just now?
Thinking of this, Tamamonomae turned around and looked at Yuzenjin.
"Is this your world, Kayaba Akihiko?"
Yuzhongjin looked directly at the man opposite him, then looked around and commented: "It's very beautiful, full of fantasy, and the world has already taken shape."
Tamamonomae, the god of Inari.
Kayaba Akihiko certainly knew the meaning of these two names, using great monsters and famous gods as code names...
“…This, this, this, this is his world? That guy is a creator?”
When Tamamonomae heard this, she was instantly horrified. In her opinion, even if the world she lived in had great flaws, since she had the ability to create the world, she was definitely not a small character.
Kayaba Akihiko stood there, watching Tamamonomae saying some incomprehensible things across from him, then he unfolded the list. The data had been corrected, but the two people in front of him were still there.
Obviously there is nothing abnormal...
No matter how we test, only "normal" results are fed back.
Tamamonomae hid behind Miojin sincerely and remained quiet for a while.
"System call, Summon No. 0691."
Suddenly, Kayaba Akihiko read out this command, and a giant minotaur was created, holding a scimitar and a shield, obviously a pre-set monster.
“Ahhhh~ Don’t hurt my lord!”
Seeing this, Tamamonomae subconsciously took out the Gatling machine gun and fired at the bull-headed monster with full fire.
Chug tug tug——
Bullets continued to fire and the minotaur retreated step by step, but the health bar hanging above its head did not decrease at all.
Kayaba Akihiko did not impose the invincibility command of "damage nullification" on it, but Tamamonomae's own attack had no damage.
It's not that there is no way to break the defense, but the concept does not allow it.
"As expected, this is the result."
Yuzhong Jin was not surprised by this. Their existence was integrated into "Sword Art Online" through the system's [Exploration] function, but their authority was not sufficient.
Kayaba Akihiko did not have the ability to eliminate them, and conversely, Ootenzu and Tamamonomae did not have the ability to kill the creations of this world.
Pulling back Tamamonomae, the minotaur rushed forward, and the scimitar fell but was caught by Yuzanzu's two fingers.
No matter how fragile it is, as long as it has the concept of the world, it has absolute power of authority.
In this world, Yuzhuanjin's abilities are useless because his authority is stuck in the specifications.
"Before that, let me introduce myself. My real name is Miojin. In your world, I should be called the Inari God."
Yuzhongjin gave her name.
"…your joke is not funny."
Kayaba Akihiko is not one who likes to hear jokes.
"Ugh."
Mizoejin sighed, and he could understand a materialistic person like Kayaba Akihiko.
Although he occasionally prays at the shrine, he is a staunch atheist.
So, Yuzhongjin walked forward and stood one meter in front of Kayaba Akihiko, and continued: "We will discuss the rest later. Now it's time for you to understand the purpose of our existence."
He stretched out his hand, and an arrow of light was condensed in his hand. Yuzhongjin looked at Kayaba Akihiko, who was now just a projection, and a more accurate description should be consciousness.
Since consciousness cannot bear divine power, the other party can only temporarily reveal his soul. Mizoguchi infused half of his own divine power into Kayaba Akihiko's body.
Kayaba Akihiko noticed the change in his consciousness, but before he could react, Yuzhongjin had already sent the arrow of light into his hand, and then gently pushed it...
The view suddenly fell into darkness.
……
real world.
Kayaba Akihiko opened his eyes and found that he was forced to log off, apparently because the user's consciousness was detected to be unstable.
Taking off the device on his head, Kayaba Akihiko sat up, then looked down at his empty hands.
What exactly is that arrow of light?
Just as he was thinking about this, the arrow of light bestowed upon him by Yuzhongjin appeared in his hand.
A series of complex emotions such as astonishment and surprise filled his mind in an instant.
This magical scene is enough to destroy a person's common sense.
Kayaba Akihiko tried to explain it scientifically, but the arrow of light in his hand had no weight or mass. It was clearly a group of particles entangled together to form the shape of an arrow.
When in doubt, turn to quantum mechanics.
Gripping the arrow of light tightly, Kayaba Akihiko threw it out, and the arrow of light shot through the wall without him even using any strength...
The arrow fell to the ground and finally turned into spirit particles and dissipated.
Now, even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit Yu Zhuanjin's extraordinary identity.
Regardless of whether it is the real Inari God or not, it is definitely not an ordinary human being.
Sitting in front of the computer screen, Kayaba Akihiko drank a cup of coffee, then put on the machine, and finally lay down on the bed.
"Connection started."
After reciting the start command, Kayaba Akihiko returned to the virtual game world.
……
After Kayaba Akihiko was forced offline, Tamamonomae had many questions in her heart, but Mizoguchi did not answer them.
Let Kayaba Akihiko talk about the settings when he comes back.
Tamamonomae kept poking the stopped minotaur monster, but no matter how he attacked, he was unable to pierce its "iron bones".
煌！
The beam of light fell in mid-air, and Kayaba Akihiko's figure reappeared in the sight of Ootenzu and Tamamonomae.
"How is it? Is it confirmed?"
