Chapter 3813

Dugu Great God: "......"

Dugu Great God: "Actually, I didn't expect that I could participate in the mission this time."

A wry smile appeared on Dugu Great God's face; he didn't know what to say.

Hatsune Miku: "I believe you."

Gui Yanye: "I also believe... nowadays, the more people who join a mission thinking they absolutely have to get it, the smaller the chance of actually drawing it, right?"

Izumi Sagiri: "The President says there are still exceptions within the guild."

Hei Qi Yihu: "How dare you imply the President has special privileges! Believe it or not, the President will mute you."

Manual smug-face.

"

Izumi Sagiri: "!!!!"

Izumi Sagiri: "My deepest apologies."

Su Xiao Xiao: "......"

Su Han looked at the contents of the guild chat, and a speechless expression appeared on his face.

But he didn't say much more, and got straight to the point.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Since the personnel have already been decided, let's officially begin."

Dugu Great God: "I'm already prepared."

Su Han didn't say much more. He stood up, stretched his body, then clicked 'officially participate in mission' in his mind, and a streak of brilliant light suddenly rose from his body.

When the light faded, Su Han's figure also vanished from the spot.

...... Meanwhile, in the merged world.

Kayaba Akihiko sat in a pure-white laboratory, took a sip of coffee, and looked with great interest at Kirigaya Kazuto, who was dressed in black and carrying twin swords on his back. "Nervous?"

"A little."

Kirigaya Kazuto's expression was grave, then he added, "After all, we once obtained power in the Sword Art Online world."

"And now, those monsters have appeared in reality again... it's very likely that... it's related to that incident from last time."

"Your reaction is............ quite sharp."

Kayaba nodded approvingly, his voice somewhat distant, "However... actually the two incidents aren't that closely related. What happened this time is just... well, you can think of it as something from outer space or another world crashing down and causing the incident."

Kirigaya Kazuto was dumbfounded. Sword Art Online monsters invading reality—how did that inexplicably get connected to other worlds and outer space?

"I don't know if I've dragged you into this... right now, the entire area around the laboratory is covered with official eyes."

Kayaba Akihiko let out a long sigh. "If my name still carried weight, and I didn't have some strength in hand, those guys probably would have already rushed in and dragged me off to some place like the Tokyo Detention Center."

Kirigaya Kazuto stared at Kayaba Akihiko somewhat speechlessly. "You really are enough... even if you lent those guys some courage, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on you."

Although the strange phenomena currently appearing in Japan seem to be related to Sword Art Online, and Kayaba Akihiko is the developer of Sword Art Online.

But to be honest, incidents happening in their world's Japan weren't a first or second occurrence.

Moreover, in previous incidents, Kayaba Akihiko had already displayed his extraordinary abilities.

That was power sufficient for one person to fight an entire nation... not to mention, Kayaba Akihiko also had close ties with that unfathomable yellow octopus.

That great octopus seemed unreliable, but Kirigaya Kazuto had looked up information on him... he was a terrifying creature that made all the great powers of the world wary.

Accompanied by a crisp whoosh, a yellow octopus wearing an academic gown instantly appeared beside Kayaba Akihiko, holding an ice cream in his hand, which he was occasionally nibbling on.

Kirigaya Kazuto was first full of vigilance, but upon seeing Koro-sensei he reacted, opened his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh.

If it weren't for the fact that the information he had looked up came from official networks, and that the octopus before him truly possessed terrifyingly immense strength,

He absolutely would not believe that the great octopus before him was an existence that made all the nations of the world wary.

"Mm."

Noticing Kirigaya Kazuto staring at him, Koro-sensei found it a little strange. After scanning his surroundings, he suddenly understood something and waved his tentacles. "You're thinking about this popsicle in my hand, aren't you?"

"Authentic Turkish popsicle. Want some? If you do, give me double the price, and I'll go buy it for you right now... opportunity knocks but once."

"There are very few in this world who can make me run errands; I'm mainly doing this because you catch my eye."

Koro-sensei was telling the truth; he did indeed have considerable goodwill toward Kirigaya Kazuto because he had watched Sword Art Online.

Kirigaya Kazuto: "......"

Kirigaya Kazuto's expression was extraordinarily colorful; he didn't know where to begin his complaints.

".

Koro-sensei, this isn't the time to be acting up."

A helpless voice rang out, and ripples stirred through the surrounding void.

Then, two figures slowly walked out of the void—none other than Su Han and Dugu Great God.

"So it's you."

Kirigaya Kazuto recognized Su Han at once, then his pupils suddenly contracted. After a brief silence, he said with a bitter smile, "You're as perfect as always."

Su Han smiled and nodded at Kirigaya Kazuto, then he snapped his fingers.

Ripples stirred through the void.

After a few breaths, Asuna walked over from the other side of the ripples.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you appear on my side, so I was already mentally prepared. Sure enough, it's here..."

Asuna gave Su Han a look between tears and laughter, then turned to look at the silent Dugu Great God. "This is my first time meeting you in reality. I am Asuna, please take care of me."

"Hello."

Dugu Great God was concise.

"Actually, I think enemies worth 200,000 points... you few taking action can already resolve it."

Su Han raised an eyebrow, scanning Asuna, Koro-sensei, and Kayaba Akihiko. "I'm definitely not going to make a move... Dugu Great God, how about you also let the people here... let these few get some more practice in actual combat."

After a brief moment of thought, the great god Dugu said softly, "I'm still rather short on points... after all, the more tasks you do, the more you earn."

"How about this—I won't interfere with their battles against the enemy, just pick off some small fry on the fringes."

"As long as I keep modifying my own world, I can earn a lot of points."

Su Han rubbed his brow, but didn't say much more on the topic. "Up to you. I was just making a suggestion... whether you act or not is entirely up to you."

"It's your freedom!"

"Then, President,"

After a moment's hesitation, Asuna asked softly, "What we do next—is it up to you to act and send us straight into the data world?"

Recommendation,
