Chapter 192 - Chapter 190: SEED

Avengers World

Inside the research institute at Avengers Tower, Iron Man Tony Stark is studying a deeply immersive, fully virtual reality space alongside numerous scientists. If successful, this would represent another monumental technological leap! They might even be able to fully protect the planet using this technology!

"If only Kayaba Akihiko were in this world. What if we could just wish him here?"

"Why... Let's keep researching..." Tony is intensely fascinated by the technology from that world (SAO), but so far, he hasn't made any breakthrough progress.

"Tony, maybe scientists from other planets could help you..."

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that?".....

Sword Art Online World 

"Will transcending the system... does that mean Kirito's will has surpassed the will of the world itself?..."

"What an incredible young man!"

Akihiko Kayaba couldn't help but admire. As expected, those chosen by the light screen are no ordinary individuals....

"Does this count as me bringing the game to another world?"

Akihiko Kayaba felt his own case was even more outrageous – he had brought the entire game world over!...

The World of Sword Art Online (SAO)

The players in SAO erupted into fanatical cheers after calming down! This event is very close to the present; does that mean they are about to leave this damned world?!

The same is true for people in reality. They are all excited. Their relatives and friends can finally escape this world of death!

However, those close to Kirito find such an ending hard to accept!

They would rather not have freedom bought with Kirito's life!

So what if they die here in the end? Let's face it together!

"No, we can't let that fool do whatever he wants!" Liz packed up the weapon shop and rushed to Agil's place.

"Mr. Kirito, please don't be so impulsive!" Silica wasn't strong enough to go to the front lines, but she didn't want the person she admired to die like this!

At Agil's Shop

Asuna held Kirito's hand tightly, her eyes fierce like a tigress's, gripping it firmly!

"It hurts!!!" Kirito let out a piercing scream, making Agil outside the house feel his hair stand on end!

"Kirito-kun, you idiot!" Asuna threw herself into Kirito's arms and cried bitterly. Why was he always so reckless!

"Sorry..." Kirito patted her head, his face full of tenderness. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he might never get another chance like this!

At this moment, the most excited man in the world stood in the (virtual) sky, laughing wildly.

"Kirito-kun, as expected of you!"

"Human will has finally broken through the system!"

"But it's still early. Let me see what kind of experiences you'll have in the future!"

Kayaba Akihiko sat in the air (within the system), feeling extremely happy. As long as he willed it, those two wouldn't die!...

[Screen Continues]

[Kirito opened his eyes again, looking around blankly, a little confused....]

[He was standing among the clouds...]

[He opened the operation interface; it showed the final steps were being implemented....]

[At that moment, Asuna appeared behind him...]

[Kirito turned around suddenly and saw the familiar figure looking at him....]

["Sorry... I died too..."]

[Asuna could no longer control herself and rushed into Kirito's arms....]

[Just as the two were spreading 'dog food' (being affectionate), Kayaba Akihiko appeared beside them...]...

"Kayaba, did you do this on purpose?" Rinko Kamigou (Kayaba's acquaintance) looked at the sleeping Kayaba Akihiko and helplessly squeezed his face.

He still loved to do these things, completely ignoring others' feelings, just like a block of wood.

If she hadn't been taking care of this fool, she was afraid he would have been gone long ago...

"Idiot, was the point of doing all this just to confirm the will of humanity?"

"Why... even after it came to this, you still chose this ending..."

Rinko Kamigou's fingertips dug into her palms, and tears kept falling.

As the heart rate monitor beside them gradually slowed until it flatlined, she could no longer control herself, and heart-wrenching sobs echoed through the villa!

Kayaba Akihiko chose to die early, but his will remains within the entire online world!.....

[On Screen]

[Kayaba Akihiko has released all remaining survivors. Those who died can never return. It's the same in any world!]

["Why do this?"]

[Kirito stared at this man who was both a devil and a genius, wondering what his purpose was....]

[Kayaba Akihiko told Kirito and the others about his childhood dream...]

[Flying from the ground, wanting to fly to that castle...]

[He had always believed that in some world, such a castle must exist!]

["Yes... It would be great if that were true..."]

[If such a world existed, Kirito would like to go there!]

["I forgot to say..."]

["I wish you all the best..."]

[After saying this, Kayaba Akihiko disappeared into the air, leaving the young couple behind....]

["So... Can you finally tell me your real name?..."]

["Kirigaya... Kirigaya Kazuto... I just turned 16 last month..."]

["Younger than me~"]

["My name is... Asuna... I just turned 17..."]

[Kirito kept murmuring Asuna's name, feeling extremely guilty for not bringing her back to that world (alive)....]

[Asuna hugged the crying Kirito, shaking her head constantly. Finally, she could be with him. This short time was the happiest period in her over ten years of life....]

[The sky turned white, and everything in this world was being cleared!]

[They vanished from this world with the light...]...

JOJO World

"Oh~ He's actually younger than me!" Jotaro looked shocked. So Kirito was a year younger than him and could already save so many people!

It seemed he still had a long way to go. As a 17-year-old older brother, he still needed to train hard and become stronger.

"Boom!!!"

A huge skeletal figure (Star Platinum) appeared before Jotaro, exuding an extreme sense of oppression!

"The protagonist has arrived!"

Jotaro held a cigarette in his mouth, hands in his pockets, looking calmly at the monsters (likely Stand users or enemies) swarming out around him, completely unfazed.

This man, with "invincible" written all over him, stood tall as a mountain!

"Are you here to celebrate for Kirito too?"

"Ora!!!!!!" (Star Platinum's cry)...

[On Screen]

[Kirito opened his eyes again, looked at the familiar modern ceiling, and raised his emaciated hand with difficulty...]

[The image of Asuna flashed through his mind...]

[His dim eyes began to grow moist and lively...]

[He was back in the real world!].....

"Asuna, that's great! We're back!" Kirito felt relieved, his face full of excitement!

Since he could return, Asuna could naturally return too. He had kept his promise. Neither of them had died; they had both survived!

"Yes! It's been so long since I've seen that world (reality)!" Asuna's eyes grew moist. She didn't know how things were at home. Even if there were annoying people there, it was still her home!

Now that she had Kirito, nothing could scare her!

In Reality

"Great, Onii-chan is back!" Suguha (Kirito's sister) happily rolled around on her bed, staring at a poster of Leafa (her ALO avatar) on the ceiling, her face full of anticipation.

Would she be able to be with Onii-chan like this?...

[On Screen]

[After rehabilitation training, Kirito recovered well. With Kikuoka's help, he found the hospital where Asuna was staying....]

[But Asuna hadn't woken up. No one knew which world her consciousness had gone to; she was still in danger!]

[However, Kirito got a clue from Agil: someone had taken a photo in a world called ALO (Alfheim Online)!]

[In the sky, inside a huge birdcage, the orange-haired elf (Titania, Asuna's ALO avatar) was imprisoned...]...

"What's going on! Why is Asuna in this world!" Asuna's father was full of doubts. He remembered his subordinate's son was in charge of this ALO, right?

What was that guy's name?

"But don't let me find out anything's wrong, otherwise, even if you're my subordinate's son, you won't get away with it!".....

[On Screen]

[Kirito enters this game to find Asuna!]

[He was surprised to find this world strikingly similar to SAO, and his stats panel was exactly the same as before!]

[He quickly opened his inventory, took out Yui's Heart (the object containing Yui's AI), and revived her!]

[Through Yui, he learned this world was based on SAO's Cardinal System...]

[In short, it was a pirated copy...].....

ALO (In-Game)

The faces of all players turned green. This light screen was too disrespectful. They were actually playing a game developed by that demon (Kayaba)!

Could there be situations in this world where escape was impossible?

This terrified them so much they quickly logged out. This was too scary!

The Game Company's Person-in-Charge

The person in charge's face turned green when he logged in today!

Number of players online: 0, and the company was being criticized by many!

Nobuyuki Sugou could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor in the office and rampaged around. His gloomy, ugly face was no less than a certain villain's (Kradir?)!

Even far surpassing him!

He seemed to remember something and quickly dialed several numbers.

"Get out of there quickly, don't let anyone catch us!"

After saying this, his hatred for Kayaba Akihiko reached its peak!

And Kirito, what right did this brat have to be with Asuna!

How hateful!

And this light screen, using the technology he stole from him! The game he developed was actually called worthless!

If he had the ability, he would definitely hack this light screen!.....

[On Screen]

[Kirito met Leafa (Suguha's avatar) in this world, and the two began adventuring together...]

[During this time, Kirito learned that Leafa was his sister. The two resolved their misunderstandings, and at Kirito's invitation,...]

[They rushed forward and finally arrived at the foot of the World Tree...]

[Here, Yui sensed that Asuna was above!]

[Hearing this, Kirito hurriedly flew into the sky but was blocked by a barrier....]

["Asuna!!!"]

[Asuna in the birdcage heard his voice and shed tears of excitement, but she couldn't escape and could only throw down what seemed to be an administrator keycard!]

[Kirito caught this card and went to clear the so-called level!]....

"This is too terrifying!"

"Why can this world imprison SAO players!"

For a time, the company that developed ALO was surrounded, and all the people in charge were trembling.

Sugou hid in a high-rise building, not even daring to go downstairs, afraid someone would push him to the ground and beat him up!

However, at that moment, a group of men in black broke in and were about to take him away.

Sugou quickly said he knew nothing!

The men in black looked at each other and didn't leave, just watching quietly....

[On Screen]

[Relying on his own abilities and the cooperation of Leafa and various elf teams, Kirito successfully broke into the upper levels!]

[With Yui's help, Kirito broke through the barrier and reached the birdcage....]

[Here they met the trapped Asuna, and the family of three (Kirito, Asuna, Yui) was finally reunited!]

[But at that moment, the sky turned pitch black, and Kirito was suppressed by a gravitational force that made him unable to move!]

[Nobuyuki Sugou appeared before the two of them!]

[It turned out he had controlled hundreds of players here and conducted inhumane human experiments!]

[Kirito couldn't resist and was pushed to the ground. Just as he accepted his fate, Kayaba Akihiko appeared....]

["Stand up, Kirito-kun!"]

[Kayaba gave Kirito administrator authority over Sugou's avatar!]

[This made Sugou's jealousy boil over. The gap between himself and the genius was so vast; he was still in his way even after death!]

[Kirito stared fiercely at this beast, raising the pain level to the maximum!]

[He cut him apart with one sword strike after another!]

[Amidst Sugou's piercing screams, he was sliced to pieces by Kirito's sword!]...

Sugou: "...."

Am I finished? So quickly?

How long has it been since SAO ended?

"Alright, what excuses do you have now?" The man in black couldn't be bothered to listen to his explanation. He just handcuffed him and dragged him away like a dead dog.

On the way, the man in black took the lead and finished a phone call....

Man in Black 1: "Boss, what crime has this guy been convicted of?"

Man in Black (Boss): "I heard the great Xia State's criminal law has punishments called castration and lingchi (dismemberment), very humane ones!" (Note: This is a fictional/exaggerated reference)

Man in Black 3: "Sugou, listen, what great virtue you must have accumulated to receive such an honor! I'm so envious of you!"

Nobuyuki Sugou was so frightened he lost control of his bowels; he had heard of these before!

He was wronged!

But unfortunately, no one paid him any attention....

[On Screen]

[Kayaba Akihiko takes the seed of the world——THE.SEED, and hands it to Kirito...]

[Once it sprouts, you'll know what's inside....]

[He can then do anything to the sprouted thing, whether it's destroying it or forgetting about it...]

[But if he holds any feelings for that world other than hatred, then give it to the world...]

["So goodbye... See you again one day... Kirito-kun!"]

[Kayaba Akihiko disappeared before Kirito once more, leaving like the wind...]

[After Kirito returned to the real world, he hurried to see Asuna...]

[But at the hospital entrance, he encountered Sugou, who was in a state of madness....]

[However, Kirito's real-world combat skills were still decent. Instead, he pinned Sugou against a car and beat him up!]

[Sugou was so terrified he lost consciousness on the spot when the dagger Kirito had snatched was pressed against his throat....]

[Kirito threw away the dagger, not bothering to kill such a person, notified security, turned, and went to Asuna's side...]

[The two finally met in reality and kissed each other...]

[Outside the window, a black and white figure (likely Kayaba's ghost or memory) looked at them with a smile....]

[Turned and left...]
