Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Initially, she desperately wanted to leave the game, fearing she would never be able to. Gradually, she came to understand and accept reality, and now she is prepared to be trapped in the game for a long time.

Therefore, upon suddenly hearing this important information, in addition to joy and excitement, she also felt some complex emotions that she couldn't quite explain.

The day they were liberated from SAO was also the day Fujimaru Ritsuka left this world, wasn't it?

However, BB suddenly interrupted, shaking his index finger and saying:

"No, to be precise, we can now exit SAO."

Kirito and Asuna's eyes widened immediately. They quickly opened the system window and dragged to the settings interface where the exit button should have been. Sure enough, just as the other party had said, the exit button that Kayaba Akihiko had deleted before had reappeared in the system menu!

Kirito tentatively tapped the exit button, but instead of a pop-up window asking if he wanted to exit the game, a message box appeared saying "Unable to exit temporarily".

Didn't they say we could quit?

Seeing Kirito and Asuna casting puzzled glances at her again, BB helplessly spread her hands and said:

"I was referring to the normal situation, but unfortunately, we are currently in a special situation."

"Yui, retrieve the footage of the outdoor and maze areas on each floor."

"Ok!"

Upon receiving the order, Yui quickly accessed the administrator menu and displayed dozens of projections in mid-air, almost filling their entire field of vision.

The group walked a little closer to observe carefully. Many of the areas in the projected image were places they had visited before, so they were very familiar with them and quickly discovered the anomalies.

"This is.?!"

The monsters in the scene looked much the same as usual, but suddenly a thick black mist appeared around them, enveloping them, just like the remnants of the demon god pillar they had just faced.

Not only in appearance, but the monsters also have a trigger range and activity range. However, at this moment, they completely broke the rules of the game and swarmed forward frantically. Players were completely unable to deal with this tricky situation and could only be swallowed up by the monsters in despair and then turned into fragments.

Even though they already knew that players didn't truly die in SAO, the sight of their opponents turning into fragments still sent chills down their spines.

However, this was not the end. After killing the players in the current wilderness area, the monsters did not stop and continued to move outwards, ignoring the activity area specified by the system.

Upon witnessing such a horrifying scene, a shadow fell over Kirito and Asuna's eyes.

"Why is this happening?"

"Because it got out of control."

Speaking of this, BB changed her previous light and assertive tone, and nervously poked her finger as she said:

"Haven't you already seen it? It's similar to what happened to Kayaba Akihiko just now, it just exploded with a 'bang'."

The black-fuming monsters that Fujimaru Ritsuka and her friends encountered in the first layer of the maze were a manifestation of overflowing 'garbage'. After she discovered this situation and it was increasing, she started working overtime to deal with it.

Perhaps the situation had already deteriorated to the point of being out of control, or perhaps Kayaba Akihiko's loss of control caused a chain reaction; in any case, her plan had completely gone awry by now.

"So, what exactly is that thing?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's sharp gaze and questioning came again, but this time she had already thought of an excuse, and answered in a dry laugh:

"Well, I found some leftover SE.RA.PH trash on my hands that I hadn't dealt with, so I just stuffed it into the monster's body, intending to make things a bit more difficult for the senior while also getting the players in SAO to help clean it up."

"But unexpectedly, a little accident happened, haha."

SE.RA.PH, or Serial Phantasm, is a fictional spiritual world similar to SAO but on a much larger scale, and it is also the place where BB was originally born.

However, the SE.RA.PH stage that Fujimaru Ritsuka went to is not the same as the place where BB was born, but SE.RA.PH in Chaldea is also BB's current residence.

Fujimaru Ritsuka quietly observed BB, making the latter feel immense pressure. However, in the end, she sighed softly and chose to end the topic, continuing to ask:

"So, what exactly is the situation now?"

They got away with it!

Upon hearing this, BB breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied:

"If this is left unchecked, these things will likely erode the entire game and gradually spread into the real world through the internet."

"In a more serious scenario, it's not impossible for the entire Earth to be destroyed."

"Earth's destruction?!"

Kirito and Asuna stared at each other in shock, hardly believing what they had just heard.

Didn't you just say it was just a minor accident? Why has it suddenly escalated to the point of destroying the Earth?

This is hardly a minor accident!

A small accident that could destroy the Earth?

Kirito and Asuna were somewhat doubtful, wondering if BB was exaggerating.

Unfortunately, this isn't BB exaggerating.

She had casually browsed the network in the real world beforehand and didn't find any powerful mysterious forces in this world. In other words, the people in this world have no means to resist these things.

In their world, this trash might not cause the world to be destroyed, but in this world, it might not.

It's like a common modern flu virus that could potentially cause a super plague in ancient times.

"Why are they going to destroy the Earth again?"

After listening to BB's statement, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a headache coming on. Realizing that the crisis was caused by her Servant, she sighed deeply, resigning herself to her bad luck, and continued to ask:

"So, what should we do now to solve the current problem?"

"Solving the problem is quite simple."

BB hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm in a flattering manner, and said with a grin:

"Then we'll have to trouble you to defeat them all, senior!"

"Let's help out too!"

BB said that all the monsters in the game need to be completely eliminated, so Asuna volunteered again.

Although they were powerless against the remnants of the Demon Pillar, they should be able to help deal with these wild monsters in their current state.

"Personally, I have no objection, however..."

This time, BB kindly reminded her:

"You all saw Kayaba Akihiko's condition just now, right? Those monsters now are not the easy programs you thought they were."

"Furthermore, it would be fine if you were just killed in battle, but if you were accidentally corrupted and turned into a monster like Kayaba Akihiko, then I'm afraid I can't help you."

BB spread his hands and shook his head regretfully, as if Kirito and Asuna had already been killed, making the two of them hesitate for a moment.

At that moment, Kirito suddenly remembered something and said anxiously:

"If that's the case, then aren't the other players in SAO in great danger right now!?"

It's still late at night, and apart from a few players who are leveling up with their days and nights reversed, as they just saw in the projection, most players should still be asleep.

If the monsters were allowed to rush into the safe zone under these circumstances, one can imagine what a terrible tragedy it would be.

"Come to think of it, it's a bit troublesome."

Upon hearing this, BB nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then snapped his fingers, saying:

"Have it!"

She brought up the administrator window again and operated it. The next moment, countless cards appeared out of thin air, densely packed in mid-air. At a glance, there were at least thousands or tens of thousands of them.

Asuna looked at the card with some confusion and found that it contained all the players' information.

"what is this?"

"All players' character profiles store the data of the players' game characters, which is equivalent to the characters themselves."

As BB explained, he waved his pointer, and two cards immediately flew out of the pile and landed in Kirito and Asuna's hands respectively. These were their own files.

"If you want to help, then please help destroy all these cards."

"But if it's destroyed..."

Kirito hesitated. According to her, this was a file that stored the player's game character data. Destroying it would mean deleting the account.

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, BB shrugged and said:

"Destroying character data only means deleting the account; it doesn't mean you'll actually die in real life."

"But as long as the data exists, there is a risk of it being eroded. If it were to enter the real world through the players' bodies, that would be the end of the world, right?"

Incidentally, she had previously deleted the character data of the murderers, but because she had simultaneously activated the death program set by Kayaba Akihiko, they also died in reality.

BB had explained the problem very clearly, so Asuna and Kirito quickly nodded solemnly in agreement.

"Leave it to us."

Seeing that the two were starting to focus on dealing with the cards, BB took advantage of their inattention and gave Fujimaru Ritsuka an "OK" sign with a smug smile.

She gave them something to do without putting them in danger, which was only because the two were Fujimaru Ritsuka's recognized companions; otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered with all this.

Of course, most importantly, this is also a good opportunity for her to redeem herself.

"Master BB, the monsters have started to break through the safe zone!"

But just then, Yui suddenly cried out in alarm.

Some of the monsters in the projection had already advanced to the boundary of the safe zone. The system-set barrier had temporarily kept them outside, but the monsters ignored it and began attacking the barrier, much like a zombie siege.

The safe zone barrier, which was supposed to be absolutely impenetrable in the design, actually began to collapse under the attack of monsters. To be precise, it was the 'junk' they carried that began to erode the programs in SAO.

Yui brought up the administrator console and frantically carried out maintenance and defense, but she still couldn't prevent the barrier from gradually approaching the brink of collapse.

At this moment, her panicked words were tinged with a hint of tears.

"Not only that, but we've also detected that some programs are starting to go out of control! The firewall is also under attack!!"

"Waaah! The barrier is almost completely destroyed, BB-sama, what should we do now!?"

"Alright, alright, why are you panicking?"
