Am I the only one streaming Sword Art Online on the entire internet?

Three hundred and eighteen, traitors and double agents will not have a good end!

"Now it seems that these things are much less dangerous than the ones we faced when we were in Aincrad. I originally thought that it would take a whole battalion to deal with these big guys, but I didn't expect them to be so easy to handle."

Sorin swung his sword and severed the hind limbs of the surging behemoth, watching as the blue-bodied behemoth slowly collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again. Then, he cast a Phantom Sword Dance directly on its back.

The rapidly flashing blades illuminated the vast back of the surging behemoth, their sharp, cold blades instantly turning it into chunks of metallic scrap. This was the last behemoth; after this, Dowin would lose his only shield and would have no chance of defeating the three swordsmen present. Thinking this, he raised his head, pointing his sword at the slightly flustered Dowin, a cruel, cold smile on his face.

"Has anyone ever told you that being a traitor will get you into trouble?"

"You really think you have victory in your grasp? How reckless. The ruling council's machinery isn't limited to these; the real trump card is still here..." Dovin used the shield released from the mystery to defend against Sorin's successive slashes, while simultaneously attempting to open the final cabinet. But his words were abruptly cut off. Of course, not only him, but all sound in the entire arena was instantly silenced. An eerie silence descended upon the place, the only remaining sound being Xiao Ji's soft breathing.

"Finally made it..." She supported herself with a short staff almost as tall as herself, mysterious white runes floating on the tip of her right finger. "Keep it up! It's up to you guys!"

"Well done, Xiao Ji!" Solin wanted to praise him, but under the effect of the global silence, he couldn't say anything. This global silence directly crushed Dorwenban. Solin had previously guessed that such a boss unit shouldn't be affected by global silence, but now that he couldn't summon the sixth giant machine, Solin's first reaction was to kick him while he was down, not to think about why this was happening.

This made the second half of the boss fight much easier. The difficulty of defeating Dowinbane was originally the challenge of dealing with the swarm of flapping-wing aircraft and the five giant machines that appeared one after another, followed by defeating the sub-tornado engine he summoned from the sixth cabinet. However, now, on the one hand, Yuuki had pulled all the flapping-wing aircraft outside the city, and on the other hand, Xiaoji's all-area silence prevented Dowinbane from summoning the sub-tornado engine, which was far superior to the giant machines. This made Dowinbane completely powerless and he was knocked to the ground by Sorin.

“The problem now is we can’t kill him. If we kill him here, this spark will also enhance Nicol Bolas’s power. He absorbs sparks regardless of whether they are allies or enemies.” Sorin explained as he held Dowinban down in a free-fighting stance. The two of them wrestled together, looking like a scene from a philosophical debate. “Take the Eternal Sun away, and then… Prag, Dalken, you two come over and hold him down. I’ll take some men and search the place. There are a lot of good stuff here. I saw it all when I passed by just now. Also, Teach, go see if we can open that tornado. If we can, we’ll be awesome.”

He silently memorized the locations of the Caladsh inventions he'd seen displayed in showcases on the road. These items would be considered top-tier (T1) equipment in the current version, especially the set of ornately designed, color-blocked one-handed swords. Of course, equipment that only enhanced individual combat capabilities wasn't what he urgently needed right now. What was truly crucial were ultimate war weapons capable of proving effective in large-scale legion battles—

While he was speaking, Titch had already opened the huge cabinet in the very center. Inside was a super-heavy machine shaped like a worm, about ten meters tall, with a movable joint in the center, which looked like it could be disassembled into two parts.

Titch placed the puzzle into the core of the giant worm before him, and suddenly a blue halo appeared around the giant machine that had been still there. Then, a faint thread connected to Titch's body.

"Move, get out of the cabinet." Titch silently gave the command to the Tornado Engine. Following his command, the Tornado Engine shook a few times before breaking free of the cabinet that bound it, landing heavily on the ground with a deafening roar and a cloud of dust. "All done, Mr. Sorin... Where is he?"

He glanced around and saw that only Darken and Prag, who were discussing philosophy with Dowin, and Huan, who was watching Prag with concern, remained. Sorin was nowhere to be found.

In fact, Solin had already led the others to the second floor, which was the corridor they had walked through earlier.

“Take it, you can take it, take it all.” He said, using his sword to pry open the glass door of a display case and taking a ring that shone with gold light off the shelf. “Give this to the mage in the team later… Yuki, pry open that case over there and take out the Thunder Leggings. This thing is yours.”

"Wait, Sorin, is this... really okay?" Yuna asked timidly from the side, "This is still friendly territory, after all..."

“Don’t worry about the details. Anyway, these things were brought by Dowen from the Karadesh timeline. They weren’t originally part of the Senate’s collection.” Sorin replied casually, then walked to a curved, silver-white shelf, took down a straight one-handed sword of the same color, and showed it to Yuki. “Look around this floor. Take any swords that look like this. There should be five in total. I’ll see if there’s anything that can deal with the Eternal Sun.”

After saying that, he led Yuna to the other side, leaving only the three girls from the Sleeping Knights on this side. Xiaoji was still using her short staff to pry open cabinets and take out beautifully crafted artifacts, just like Sorin had done before, while Junie and Yuki stood quietly to the side watching.

“I know what you’re worried about, Yuuki. I didn’t tell either of them anything,” Junie said, feigning nonchalance, but a hint of sadness in her eyes. “He might have guessed something, but… it should be fine, right?”

“If I could, I’d really like to have them come with us on this adventure. Mr. Sorin is a very interesting person, isn’t he?” Yuki replied with a light smile, then suddenly coughed and it took her a while to stand up. “I’m fine, Junie-nee… I hope I can hold on until the end.”

319. The Immortal Evil God Descends

There were still quite a few players outside the Sacred Fountain. They had found a way to accept faction quests, but these quests were limited to minor details like regional defense; as for the main storyline quests… they hadn't seen a clue yet. Just as these players were desperately resisting the immortals' offensive, some players with specialized reconnaissance abilities suddenly turned around and looked at the towering Ozoli Senate building behind them.

"What's wrong?" another player next to him asked, puzzled.

"High-energy reaction detected...that thing is going to explode!"

"What's going to explode?"

"The building! The top floor of the building!"

The moment the scout player uttered those words, a towering burst of flames and smoke erupted from the third floor of the Senate building. The intense shock even made the players on the ground feel themselves sway, while the lighter-weight immortals were thrown back several steps by the jolt.

At the same time, a system notification flashed in front of all players.

[Global Mission 4: Destroy the Eternal Sun - Completed]

"Who did this?"

"Is this all it takes to complete one task...?"

"Wait, is that Eternal Sun Holy Sun located inside the headquarters?"

Similar murmurs rose and fell among the Russian players below, but of course, this was no longer any of Sorin's business. They were currently sitting in a helicopter, rapidly moving away from the explosion zone and heading towards the Tenth District.

"Let me tell you, back then this thing was so powerful that it was almost lawless, although you may not understand now."

Sorin was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, while the artifact master Tich was in charge of piloting. He used the Enigma in his hand to charge the helicopter, and then awkwardly took control of it.

"But isn't the point... why would a helicopter appear in a world that's clearly a Western fantasy setting?" Yuki complained from the side. "I thought it was already too much to just have a Gundam."

“Something even worse is coming. Ravnica is in complete chaos right now. Nobody knows what kind of things will appear here, as long as the beacon hasn’t been turned off.” Sorin said this while opening a private chat window with Sinon, “Where are you stuck?”

“The Ije Alliance said that Lalcharek betrayed them, and with Nimize killed, they can’t possibly let anyone in, so there’s nothing we can do,” Sinon replied from the other side. “We’re heading toward the Ten-Alliance office. I remember you said before that those people from the Guardian Oath might have a way.”

“They do have a way, but that's a long time from now. You guys continue... Wait, things don't look good right now…”

From afar, Sorin saw four towering giants appear in the direction of the Time-Space Bridge—each with the head of a python, a bird, a cat, and a crocodile, or rather, these four giants were humanoid versions of these four animals.

As soon as they emerged, they immediately targeted the towering tree-man in front of the Time-Space Bridge and tore it to pieces. Vitugaki's wails echoed through the sky, while a green figure instantly collapsed to the ground.

“Actually, I’ve always thought it was illogical. The Immortal Fiend can only deal 4 damage, while Vitugaki is 99… But there’s no point in focusing on these details now.” Thorin pointed to the four giants and introduced them, “Those are Nicol Bolas’s four strongest henchmen. But I guess they’ll be overwhelmed by the wave of players. You can consider going down and joining in the fun. Anyway, these four won’t die anytime soon.”

"Is that...is that the enemy we have to deal with?" Huan walked curiously to the front of the cabin, looked through the front window at the four huge figures, and asked in a voice full of fear, "Are we really going to fight something like this?"

"Actually, you two can consider leaving now. Anyway, the Eternal Sun has already exploded, and no one can stop you." Solin said calmly, while typing a line in the chat window, "Heading towards the Time-Space Bridge, the Guardians are there, and a boss has spawned there."

As previously mentioned, the sole purpose of the Immortal Sun was to prevent Planeswalkers within this timeline from leaving. After the Immortal Sun was destroyed by Thorin's secret explosive device (yes, secretly detonating the Immortal Sun is a highly improbable operation, but they did it), nothing could stop a Planeswalker from leaving. This means that the Vidoken Planeswalker Dowinbane, who had just fought them, did not die in the explosion; he escaped the instant the Immortal Sun was destroyed and returned to his homeland, Caladsh.

“Forget it, just running away like this... sounds too lame,” Prag said from the side. “Besides, given that I can leave at any time, I’d like to see how this chaos ends.”

"Chaos? Forget it, even if I said everything was still under my control, you probably wouldn't believe me." Sorin shrugged, neither confirming nor denying Prag's statement. He turned to Tich and asked, "How many secret explosive devices are left?"

"We only found two. We already used one to blow up the Eternal Sun." He searched his backpack and took out the remaining secret explosive device. "So, what do we say now?"

"To be on the safe side, gather five colors and throw them down. That should send those four immortal fiends flying." Sorin said, turning to look at Huan and Prag, then took the secret explosive from Tich and handed it over. "Try charging this thing. If we're lucky, we can find three more colors."

Prag didn't reply. He stretched out his right hand and covered the object that looked like a sphere with five holes. A red streak flashed by and then disappeared completely into the explosive device, with a red glow also appearing from one of the holes.

"I can't believe it. A poisons expert's color is red?" Sorin looked at Prag with some surprise, then handed the thing to Huan. "Why don't you try it?"

"Okay...okay." Huan replied timidly, then imitated Prag's action, placing her hand on it and infusing it with blue energy. "Is that all?"

“That’s right, now it’s simple, just put on your parachutes, friends.” Sorin put the twice-charged explosive device back into his backpack, then pointed down, “Tich, find a place nearby to wait for us. Yuki, Yuna, come down with me.”

320, Hell Paratrooper

"Down...down?"

Yuki stood by the helicopter door, looking down at the ground a hundred meters above them, her voice trembling.

"There's a parachute, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, this game doesn't have much fall damage. You're a melee character, have some confidence in your character." Sorin patted Yuuki's shoulder nonchalantly, then pointed downwards, "How about Yuna and I jump first, and then..."

"And then what... Ahhh!"

Sorin didn't want Yuki to watch him and Yuna go down before jumping. When he said those words to distract Yuki, he subtly placed his right hand behind her back and pushed her down when she wasn't paying attention.

“Although I’d ​​love to say something romantic like ‘You jump, I jump,’ this is definitely more fitting for us right now.” Sorin grinned smugly, pulling Yuna down with him. “You all heard that! Kid! It’s time for some adventure!”

"We are ODST! (We are Hell Paratroopers!) Hurrah!"

"Arashi! Why do you have to drag me into your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?!"

"It's just a joke about the 'black building' meme, don't take it to heart... This is Σπαρτιατε?!"

"Wait, wasn't it supposed to be Hellscream? How did it turn into Spartans?"

Three different shouts mingled and echoed in the air. Solin stared intently at the ground and opened his parachute at the location he had predicted.

"Yuki! Pull the rope!"

Three white parachutes instantly unfurled, but this only drew more attention to them. The immortals actually had an air force, and upon seeing the three falling figures, they immediately pounced like hounds smelling blood. The first to fly towards them were three Aiven immortals wielding double-pointed spears, who swooped down in mid-air in a standard three-plane formation.

"Wait, if that's the case... what if they tear our canopy or cut the lines? Won't we just fall straight down?" Yuki looked at the three Evan Clan immortals charging towards them and asked Sorin with concern. However, Sorin seemed completely confident. He didn't seem worried about such a thing happening, or rather, he could guarantee that the three birds wouldn't touch them.

"You think you can play ace-air combat with us? Dream on, kid! We have anti-aircraft guns!"

Three sharp, almost simultaneous whooshing sounds suddenly rang out. Yuuki looked in surprise towards the source of the sound—it was a woman wearing green leather armor and holding a longbow. The sounds were from three arrows she had just fired with her longbow. The three arrows pierced through the immortal Evans flying towards them, and they, losing their momentum, fell to the ground. The Lazoth Stones that had been flashing on their chests quietly went out.

"Let me tell you, these NPCs are all incredibly strong, you'll get used to it," Sorin said calmly, while controlling his parachute to move closer to the crowd. "Land where there are more people, Yuki, they're all our allies."

"The landing was really crazy...it was quite exciting." Yuki replied with a light laugh. As she landed, she rolled forward, used her twin swords to make a slash and cut the parachute lines, and then stood up again. "I've never parachuted before, this experience is quite novel."

"Was that fun? You can consider trying bungee jumping or something similar in the future if you really enjoy the feeling," Sorin said casually. But when Yuki heard this, her mood suddenly dropped a little, and the smile on her face became more melancholy.

"That's a good idea, but I'm afraid there won't be a chance..."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing..." Yuki shook her head, carefully hiding her emotions. When she looked at Sorin again, she had that innocent, carefree smile.

Although Sorin was somewhat puzzled, he didn't take it to heart, assuming that Yuki had her own troubles in reality. It wasn't something he should concern himself with. He also rolled on the ground, slashed twice, pulled the parachute cord, and walked up to the woman with the bow.

“Thank you for your help, Ms. Reed.” He bowed slightly and then asked, “We saw the situation here from up here and thought you might need some help, so my friends and I jumped down.”

“Just call me Vivian. Bolas… I didn’t expect him to have such subordinates. This is indeed a big problem.” Her expression was serious as she gazed at the immortal demons wreaking havoc in the distance. “From what you’re saying, you can handle them, right?”

“Indeed, but I need a little help. Mr. Jess should have already told you about his plan, and we’ve already completed part of it.” Sorin nodded, then took out the secret explosive device he had obtained from Teach. “We defeated Bane, destroyed the Immortal Sun, and then found this in his office.”

"What is this?" Vivian asked, looking at the strange sphere that had emerged with red and blue colors. "This artifact must be the method you mentioned for defeating... the immortal demons, right?"

“That’s right. To put it simply, this thing is a bomb, and it needs energy of different attributes to charge it in order to maximize its destructive power.” Sorin pointed to the hole on it and continued, “Only Planeswalkers can charge it, and as you can see… it’s missing three colors.”

“I can fill it with green energy, and Mr. Yura can provide the white energy,” Vivian said without hesitation. She pointed to a place a little closer to the front line, where the Guardians were stationed. “As for the black energy… you’ll probably have to figure that out yourself.”

"The black... Torture Table guy is nowhere to be found, Kaya and Ral ran away and we don't know where they are now, Onishiz and the minotaur aren't here either, and Ansok's main body isn't in Ravnica..." After hearing Vivian's words, Sorin counted on his fingers for a while and suddenly realized something that made him feel both amused and exasperated:

It seemed that there was only one Black Planeswalker he could rely on. And that guy was the true origin of the ID "SorinMarkov," the guardian of the Innistrad timeline, SorinMarkov.

"Things have suddenly become interesting..."

321. Another embarrassing nuclear-level reaction ahead.

The front-line battlefield was still in chaos. Sorin did not linger with Vivian for long. After watching Vivian finish charging the secret explosive device, he took Yuna and Yuki to the battlefield further ahead.

"Then we'll be going now; the front lines still need us."

"Alright, extradimensional beings from another world, be careful." Vivian watched Solin and the other two depart, then summoned two giant bears with entirely emerald green bodies, and once again raised her Ark Bow. "Let me clear the way for you."

She drew back her longbow with force, and an equally emerald green energy arrow gradually took shape on her Ark Bow. After a moment of focused aim, she fired the arrow in the direction Sorin was heading. The arrow carried the phantom of a giant bear, shattering all the immortals in its path into fragments.
