If we kill Kayaba Akihiko, we might be able to return to the real world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! This guy is the culprit who trapped us in this game for two years—we owe him no decency. Everyone, attack at once!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Hizukuri had been the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights and had always fought at the forefront of the raid group, earning him high reputation and popularity among players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once Kayaba Akihiko’s true alias was exposed, he instantly became a despised outcast, hunted by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite the presence of numerous high-level SAO players, Kayaba Akihiko, now revealed, remained utterly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he looked at Shengzai with confusion and asked again: “Since when did you suspect me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the ‘Mirror of Truth’ can indeed reveal one’s true form in the game, it requires direct contact from the user to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you suspected Kayaba Akihiko might be hiding among the players, you couldn’t possibly have made every single player touch the ‘Mirror of Truth’ to test it, could you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kayaba Akihiko was baffled—his disguise should have been flawless. Yet from Shengzai’s act of slipping the mirror into his hand, it seemed the other had already been certain he was Kayaba Akihiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wouldn’t say I was certain—I only suspected at first. Compared to other players, your behavior was simply too unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a primary developer of SAO, you, Kayaba Akihiko, are more like a researcher than a player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve participated in boss raids together many times by now, haven’t we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every raid, I could sense clear emotions from other raid group players: joy after victory, grief over fallen comrades, surprise at the unknown, fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was one exception—you, Hizukuri, leader of the Blood Alliance Knights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strong ability may grant confidence, but you’ve gone too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From your eyes, I saw not a trace of fear of death, nor any surprise at the unknown—as if you controlled everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we fought the boss on floor fifty—the hardest raid the group had ever faced—you held the frontline for ten minutes without your HP dropping below fifty percent. Was that because of invincibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though you had countless suspicious points, without concrete proof, I could only remain suspicious of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Shengzai’s words, Kayaba Akihiko let out a bitter smile, then clapped his hands. “So because you suspected me, you used the ‘Mirror of Truth’—the item we gave players during the beta—to test me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder Asuna said you thought I was unusual. So you’ve been suspicious of me all along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai wanted to say his earlier words were pure bluff—he knew the man was Kayaba Akihiko only because he was a transmigrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if he said that, no one would believe him, so he just shrugged and said: “The ‘Mirror of Truth’ is useless anyway. Using it to test my theory cost me nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why I had it—when I entered the game in my original form, this item never triggered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kayaba Akihiko himself never imagined his exposure came from the difference between player and game designer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, it made sense: players entered the game for emotional value, while as administrator, he blended in to collect data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity. I had planned to stay as Hizukuri and play with you all the way to floor 100 of Aincrad—I’m the final boss there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that my identity is exposed, this game can’t continue. Let’s meet again in the room on floor 100.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by countless raid group players, Kayaba Akihiko showed not the slightest worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this SAO world, if he wished, he was invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could easily kill everyone present, but that would be too boring—and contradict his original purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kayaba Akihiko, now exposed, prepared to return to floor 100 to become his boss, Shengzai suddenly called out to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You started this duel, yet now you’re trying to run away? If you flee without fighting, doesn’t that mean I win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kayaba Akihiko, who had been leaving, froze at Shengzai’s words, then said in surprise: “Now that you know my true identity, you still intend to duel me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Kayaba Akihiko was deeply curious about Shengzai’s ‘unique skill’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had searched SAO’s massive database afterward and found no record whatsoever of ‘Spirit Blade’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This result surprised him—but also delighted him, because his original dream was to make SAO a truly realistic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is a realistic world? One with infinite possibilities—not limited to fixed, original data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Shengzai, Kayaba Akihiko saw something beyond the system’s design—that was why he was interested in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had planned to learn more about Shengzai through a duel, but now that his identity was exposed, the plan was temporarily ruined. His observation of Shengzai would have to wait until he reached floor 100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai had long feared his uniqueness might lead Kayaba Akihiko to erase him, since in SAO, the man was no different from a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such fears were entirely unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even if every SAO player died, Kayaba Akihiko would never let Shengzai come to harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s uniqueness introduced unknown possibilities into SAO’s fixed data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copying Shengzai’s data and then deleting him might be possible—but that would be like killing the goose that lays golden eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike fixed computer data, humans grow continuously. Shengzai has already brought possibilities beyond data—what might he bring later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you wish to honor our previous duel agreement, I won’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you lose, I no longer ask you to join the Blood Alliance Knights. Just tell me: who exactly are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, inviting Shengzai into the Blood Alliance Knights was merely to collect his data more conveniently. Now that his identity was exposed, such a move was unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(One more chapter—I’m starting to think my writing’s been a bit watery lately, damn it (▽｀)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",983,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","64d0f4fe8ef514722b421705f0e61f2456a065c46b62570a06c2ed5598f24363","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-76","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-74",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
