Chapter 821 The Choice! Power or Friendship?

"Kirito, is the person you're talking about also your friend, just like Eugeo the Swordsman?"

Soldelina was very curious about the person Kirito, who could easily defeat her, and wanted to get to know him.

The Serut family's motto is to spar with various powerful sword styles, learn from their strengths, and grow as a result.

"Ah, he, Eugeo, and I did grow up together, but it's unlikely that Seiya will come..."

Kirito, who had only spoken halfway through his sentence, suddenly heard Kikuoka Seijiro's voice in his mind, and his sealed memories of reality flooded into his brain like a tidal wave.

"Senior Lina, I'm suddenly feeling unwell, so I'll head back now."

Solderina, who had originally wanted to chat a little longer, didn't even have time to say anything to stop Kirito when he suddenly got up and left.

"Fine, I'll let you off the hook for today. Is Kirito's friend named Seiya?"

"There shouldn't be anyone with that name in our college, right?"

As his memories of reality returned, Kirito also remembered his mission and realized that the world he had lived in for more than ten years was actually just a virtual game world.

"Mr. Kikuoka, didn't you say before that sealing our memories of reality would help us integrate into this world?"
Why have our memories been suddenly unsealed again? Could it be that…?

To avoid being mistaken for a lunatic for talking to himself on the way, Kirito returned to his dormitory immediately, closed the door, and used the game console to contact Seijiro Kikuoka.

"The account that was previously stolen from within the Rath Corporation has been logged into the Underworld."

To avoid putting you at a disadvantage due to information asymmetry, I decided to help you overcome the limitations of your memory.

To be honest, the current situation is not very good for us; in fact, it's rather bad.

Alice's situation is somewhat complicated, and the account the other party logged into was a super account from the Dark Realm.

"Super account? You don't mean the kind that game administrators use to monitor the game environment, do you?"

Kirito, a hardcore gamer, knew that game administrators... or GMs as players commonly call them, usually used accounts powerful enough to disrupt the game's balance.

"In UW, the administrator has actually set up corresponding account password locks for the super account."

Kolas' staff overlooked the Dark Realm, which is why they were able to exploit this weakness.

Since you are currently in the human realm and are unaware of the situation in the dark realm, let me briefly explain it to you.

A few minutes later, Kikuoka Seijiro gave a brief account of what he had seen in the Dark Realm.

Upon hearing about the situation they were facing, Kirito immediately started cursing!

The Dark Emperor Vector possesses authority and abilities comparable to gods in the Underworld, and his level is the pinnacle of this world!
Kirito opened his attribute panel, which is the Stia Window in the Underworld, and looked at his current level of 47. His expression twitched involuntarily.

Not to mention Dark Emperor Vector, even the Dark General, one of the high-ranking henchmen on the other side, is level 70.

How the hell is he, a level 47 player, supposed to compete with them? Although Kirito is quite confident in his skills and reflexes, the gap between them is obvious since the players have level settings.

With a level difference of more than 20 levels, even if the opponent stands still and lets him attack, he might not be able to defeat him.

This isn't just a matter of skill difference anymore; it's a complete attribute crushing defeat. No matter how good your skills and reflexes are, it's utterly useless.

"You just mentioned that Ras also has super accounts in the human realm, right?"
Hurry up and arrange things for me and Seiya! Do you really plan to have Seiya and me use two regular accounts to slay the gods?!

Because he had regained his memories of the real world, Kirito knew that he and Seiya were using the most ordinary test accounts in the Underworld.

Although you can become stronger through training and accumulating experience points, you start at level 1, and once you reach a certain level, it becomes extremely difficult to improve further.

When he and Eugeo defeated the goblins of the Dark Realm and used the Blue Rose Sword to cut down the Demon Tree, Kirito estimated that he was around level 40.

During the year of training that followed, he only managed to level up by 7, which was just enough to use the "Night Sky Sword," forged from the heart of the Demon Tree and with a priority level of 46.

Now that the Dark Realm has launched a major offensive, at his current level, he's not exactly cannon fodder in this all-out war, but he's just a minor Karami.

He can't even beat a level 70 Dark General, so how can he fight against a Dark Emperor who's all high and mighty?

"Although there are super accounts in the human world, the UW world, as the world inhabited by the artificial Yao Guang, is not just a simple data NPC; they possess their own logical thinking."

In other words, the natives of the Underworld are truly gone once they die, and the accounts used by players are all unique.

If you die or change your account, your original account character will also 'die' in the Underworld.

This is to align with the cognitive framework of the Underworld, since people can't die and be resurrected indefinitely, and players don't exist in the eyes of the Underworld's inhabitants.

"To put it simply, if you and Seiya switch super accounts to log into UW, then the original Kirito and Seiya will die in the eyes of everyone you know."

Instead, they were given the identity of a super account, which was completely unfamiliar to them.

Even so, are you still planning to switch to a super account for login? If so, I can apply for it for you immediately.

Upon hearing Kikuoka Seijiro's explanation, Kirito, who had previously expressed a desire to switch to a super account, fell silent.

Changing accounts means the original character is dead, which means that in the eyes of Eugeo, Alice, and Lina, Kirito will die like this.

Even if you log in with a super account, you will still appear as a complete stranger to them.

Upon realizing this, Kirito hesitated for a moment. Having lived in the Underworld for over ten years with his memories of reality sealed, he couldn't simply regard this world as a game world.

He also couldn't regard Eugeo, Alice, and the others as so-called NPCs.

After more than ten years of getting along and interacting, Eugeo and the others are practically real people with flesh and blood in Kirito's eyes.

Especially for a gamer like Kirito who didn't have many friends to begin with, he cherished these hard-won friendships even more.

Do you choose overwhelming power, or friendship?
