Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 854 Dual Identity, Returning to the Real World

"That kid Seijiro Kikuoka kept something from us before. The so-called 'Alice Project' was originally developed for the militarization of artificial intelligence."

Even if we defeat Gabriel and his mercenaries, what do you think will be the fate of Alice and the others?

Seeing Kirito fall silent for a moment, Seiya continued, "Let me tell you, once the technology for artificial light is mature..."

They will either be discarded outright or exploited as victims of others' ambitions.

After all, the Underworld is ultimately just a virtual game world, and the control always lies with those outside.

The fact that UW is now able to break free from the control of the real world and has the right to engage in equal dialogue with them is, in my opinion, a good thing.

Think about it yourself, wouldn't it be a good thing if we could see Alice and Eugeo in our world too?

Kirito, who doesn't have many friends, immediately thought it was a really good thing when he heard that his best friend Eugeo could also go to their world.

But after glancing at Authornisdorette, he still had some concerns and said, "If the artificial light of UW enters the real world, it's fine if it's just an ordinary human."

But if they possessed power in the Underworld, are you sure that given Admirnis Doret's ambition, she wouldn't do something to the real world?

"So what? If she really has ambitions in the real world, we'll deal with her then!"

Don't forget, although people on the other side may no longer be able to log into this world with their accounts because of the separation between the Underworld and the real world, at least our accounts have been preserved.

With Asuna and the other two super accounts, plus you and me, we should be able to gain considerable influence in the real world, right?

Furthermore, I don't believe that anyone can easily travel from the Underworld to the real world.

Hearing Seiya say that, Kirito naturally had nothing more to say.

Of course, the main reason is that things have come to this point, and even a small karami can't change the overall situation.

As for Asuna and the other two, they were even less opinionated and completely let Seiya make the decisions.

The long-standing conflict between the human realm and the dark realm came to a complete end the moment the ceasefire agreement was signed.

Afterwards, Admirnisdorette and Ti Ai El also bestowed various honors upon the heroes of this battle.

As the MVP of the entire event, Seiya was awarded the title of "Holy Dark Knight," signifying that he has absolute power and status in both the human and dark realms.

Next were Alice and Lydia, who also became the "Holy Knight" and the "Dark Knight" respectively.

Alice also succeeded the retiring Bercouli as the new leader of the Integrity Knights.

After the war ended, Libia also found her mother's family in the four great empires of the human world through the necklace left by her mother.

When Seiya and Libia arrived at their door, this once impoverished third-rate noble family was overjoyed.

Despite never having met them before, the blond man who could be the head of the family kept calling them "cousin" and "cousin" affectionately, referring to Seiya and Libia as "cousin."

After all, Seiya and Lydia are now big figures in the entire Underworld.

Upon learning of Seiya and Libia's familial relationship, the emperors of the four great empires personally paid them a visit that very day. What had been a declining, third-rate family was transformed overnight into a top-tier noble family among the four great empires.

This fully demonstrates that the saying "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" applies equally well in other worlds.

However, Seiya was not particularly fond of these enthusiastic relatives from his maternal family. After politely declining the overly enthusiastic cousins, Seiya returned to his former life in Lulit Village.

Since the flow rate of the Underworld had been adjusted by Seiya to be comparable to that of the real world, after staying in the Underworld for another two days, Seiya and the others returned to the real world.

Of course, when Seiya and Kirito returned to the real world, they also revealed their identities to Alice, Lydia, and the others.

Alice and Lydia took it all in stride. After all, it didn't matter to them whether Seiya and the others were from the Underworld or not. All they needed to know was that the person they had spent every day with was real.

Alice and the others not only didn't care about Seiya and his group's identities, but also expressed that they would definitely visit Seiya and his group's world if they had the chance.

RATH Corporation, Turtle Fortress Group.

As a plume of white smoke billowed out, Seiya and Kirito woke up from the game pod, and many people, including Kikuoka Seijiro, immediately surrounded them.

Since Seiya separated the Underworld from the real world, RATH Corporation has completely lost control of the Underworld server.

Seijiro Kikuoka had been worried that Seiya and the others would be trapped in the Underworld forever, just like in SAO.

Fortunately, after a few days, Seiya and the others miraculously regained their consciousness.

Upon seeing Seiya and his companions return from the Underworld, numerous professionals immediately approached them to question them about what had transpired in the Underworld.

When questioned by the cybersecurity agency staff, Kirito and his friends did not hide anything and directly told them what Administrator had said at the meeting.

When they heard about this unexpected turn of events at Underworld, the management of RATH and the cybersecurity department were all shocked.

They never imagined that the hackers who attacked RATH's main server would cause the Underworld to deviate from its original trajectory during their cyber battle.

So much so that their current infighting has ultimately benefited the virtual game world of Underworld.

That's right, no one, whether it's the people from RATH Corporation or the Network Administration Bureau, suspected Seiya and his group when such a change occurred in Underworld.

The reason is quite simple: Seiya and the others were still lurking in the Underworld before, so how could they possibly attack RATH's servers?

Moreover, the people who made the move earlier were clearly world-class top hackers, while Seiya and his friends were just a group of high school students about to enter university. What ability did they have to do that?

So after being questioned about some things, Seiya and the others were released and sent home.

Before leaving, the RATH employees considered trying to use Seiya and his group's accounts to access the Underworld to check on the situation.

Unfortunately, they unexpectedly discovered that not only Seiya and Kirito's private accounts, but also the super accounts that Asuna and the others used when they were infiltrating the Underworld were locked to their own accounts.

In other words, the Underworld has now become a real world, and in that world, the three founding gods of the human world—Stia, Thorus, and Tiralia—are Asuna and the other two, and cannot be replaced by anyone else.
