Chapter 1566

Even if the thought has now vanished, it cannot change history.

Kayaba Akihiko also has his own pride.

So he would not deny his past thoughts, nor did he deign to deny them.

Asuna: "...... How could that be"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Calm down! Young Lady Asuna."

Asuna: "It's already in closed beta...... coming to market soon! How can I stay calm about something like this"

Symbol of Peace: "What's coming to market again"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "I never expected it could be brought back from the dead."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Wait—that's not right! Didn't Kayaba Akihiko say before that he would never make Sword Art Online again"

Wugeng Liuli's gaze: "660"

Sharpened, sensing the matter was not as simple as it appeared.

Kayaba Akihiko: "...... When did I ever say that? I only ever said I would never make another Sword Art Online with kidnapping mechanics! That doesn't mean I won't research virtual reality."

Virtual games are my specialty.

Kayaba Akihiko: "If I don't research virtual games, it's like Mr. Tony no longer forging iron—do you think that's realistic"

Kaito Kid: "...... That analogy is too real!"

Hōjō Shijūrō: "Just quietly be a bystander."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "...... So the newly developed Sword Art Online is the normal version"

Kayaba Akihiko: "Of course it is."

Asuna: "...... So the one coming to market now is the normal version, not that... kidnapping version, right"

Asuna: "But...... how can you be sure what you're saying is true, and not just a delaying tactic"

Yuuki Asuna was now feeling uncertain and anxious.

She dared not gamble.

Mainly because if she lost, the consequences would be far too severe—she could not accept them.

She was thinking whether to stop her brother from playing Sword Art Online. Su Xiao Xiao: "As for this point! I believe, Young Lady Asuna, you need not worry."

Asuna: "......"

Su Xiao Xiao: "The folks in this Society are surprisingly enthusiastic."

If that guy Kayaba Akihiko truly wanted to create such a human disaster! I believe many would step forward to stop him."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "I believe what Kayaba Akihiko said...... Let's give him some trust, Young Lady Asuna."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "If anything really goes wrong, come to me! I think cracking Kayaba Akihiko's virtual network shouldn't be hard!"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "This is too interesting! How could you ignore my presence Cracking a virtual network? Please, absolutely bring me along."

Kayaba Akihiko: "...... Although I have never kidnapped players, the way you speak makes my feelings very complicated.

This tone...... Do you guys really think my virtual network can be cracked at will"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Isn't your virtual network something that can be cracked at will"

Kayaba Akihiko: "The hell I......"

Kayaba Akihiko nearly exploded with rage.

He opened his mouth but fell silent.

But...... what saddened him more was that he could not refute Tony's words.

Tony, single-handedly, had pushed Earth's technological level straight to cosmic-tier.

Not to mention, Tony's mastery in electronic and information science was profound—JARVIS was... the pinnacle of this field.

Asuna: "......"

Yuuki Asuna, seeing this in the Society, fell briefly silent, then slightly eased her worries.

But in the next instant, she sensed something was off.

Asuna: "...... That... by the way, who exactly are all the people in this Society"

Earlier, Yuuki Asuna had wondered if this was something Kayaba Akihiko had fabricated—but after reading Sword Art Online, she no longer dared think so.

How insane would Kayaba Akihiko have to be to, while preparing a crime but before carrying it out,

deliberately compile his criminal act into a virtual reality memory replica and place it inside this Society That's like a criminal writing out his detailed plan in advance and handing it to the victim! This move can't even be called brilliant—it's beyond description. Su Xiao Xiao: "Isn't there a brief introduction section for the Society...... We come from the Multiverse of Dimensions."

Asuna: "Liar...... How could something like this possibly happen........"

Yuuki Asuna insisted she was an educated person.

How could she possibly believe such a thing After all, the world of Sword Art Online already had virtual reality technology.

The Xunigong Society interface surprised Yuuki Asuna, but not enough to make her reject it.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Hohoho! But everything the Demon King said is true.

You've seen the memory replica, haven't you"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Having seen Sword Art Online, you should know Sword Art Online is an event that was destined to happen in your world."

Asuna: "...... So what"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "And beyond Sword Art Online, there are countless other memory replicas in this Society—what do you think these replicas recount"

Asuna: "......"

Yuuki Asuna herself was an honor student, her intelligence naturally high.

Now, with the Black Cat's reminder, she immediately formed a suspicion.

A look of shock and disbelief appeared on her face.

Nearly losing composure.

Asuna: "You mean every memory replica represents a world—and now, members from each of these worlds have joined the Guild! Just like me and Kayaba Akihiko from Sword Art Online, who joined the Guild!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Yuki Asuna stared blankly at the Black Cat's reply, slumped in her chair.

Her expression was dazed.

Though she didn't fully believe it, what the Black Cat said was indeed a possibility.

She bit her lower lip; thoughts flickered through her mind, and finally decided to pay slight attention to this matter.

Whether...

it was true or false, as she spent more time in the Guild, sooner or later she would confirm whether this was real...

Bai Hu Zi: "I've successfully completed the completion of 'The Ambition of Oda Nobuna'."

Bai Hu Zi: "It feels different from the war anime I imagined."

Bai Hu Zi was conflicted; although 'The Ambition of Oda Nobuna' did contain war scenes... that... clearly wasn't the main element.

My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute: "Why think so much? Just embrace the cuteness."
