My avatar is the heroine

But this is good, since it allows them to recover from their injuries while also increasing their strength.

After fighting Artoria for two and a half hours, Yukino was successfully defeated.

Nightingale's healing spell cured Artoria's injuries, and then Kihara entered the fray.

Kihara Tatsuki's tactics were much more sneaky, involving moving to escape using coordinates while simultaneously teleporting objects to launch attacks.

After some back and forth, Artoria unleashed her ultimate attack, blasting away the harbinger with a single Noble Phantasm.

"No, we can't activate the Noble Phantasm, otherwise it won't have the desired training effect."

"Ok."

The next battle was fought using Black Eyes, and Nightingale began healing both sides during the process so that the battle could continue.

The fighting lasted until 9 p.m.

Then, at six o'clock the next morning, the resurrected Yukino woke up the sleeping Artoria and asked her to fight a new day.

And so, the intense battles continued for almost a week, and Su Lin's combat awareness increased significantly.

One afternoon, the system notification arrived as expected:

Congratulations! You have completed the main quest: Combat Skills Training.

[Reward Obtained: Combat-type clone - Tachibana Kanade.]

You may leave this world at any time.

If you do not choose to leave, you will be automatically removed after three days.

[Countdown: 72:00:00]

……

"Okay, let's stop now."

Putting down his weapon, Kuroko stretched and sat down on the ground, panting.

"Three days from now, I will destroy the Holy Grail."

"Was that Holy Grail really corrupted?" Artoria was still a little skeptical.

“Yeah, it’s contaminated. If you don’t mind trying something with a terrible future, maybe you could try making a wish? Anyway, I’m not interested in this Holy Grail, you can take it anytime.” Black Eyes winked at her.

"Kiritsugu has been in the theater where the Holy Grail is located for the past few days."

“I’m not interested in what he’s going to do.” Kuroko shook her head. “Anyway, we only have three days left to spend together. Let’s enjoy this time.”

"What to do?"

"We can have fun together, like going out to eat, watching movies, or playing games. After all, we're a couple."

"Didn't you say that the marriage issue was settled..."

“Yes.” Black Eyes interrupted her, “Not getting married doesn’t mean we can’t be lovers. Anyway, no one will know if we don’t tell anyone. You just need to remember in your heart that I am your lover.”

Artoria's lips twitched.

After staring at each other for a few minutes, she said with relief, "Okay, since you don't dislike me anyway, I'll treat you as my boyfriend."

"Hehe, that's great! Let's go grab a late-night snack first." Kurohime took Artoria's arm and walked towards the street.

Don't worry about money; just ask Kariya. As for where Kariya's money comes from, it's naturally from the dead old man's room.

Over the past three days, Kurohime and Artoria have visited many places. She occasionally makes jokes that might lead to inappropriate interpretations, causing the lovely girl to blush frequently and display a shy, girlish demeanor.

Before we knew it, the last day had arrived.

"Finally, I'm leaving. I've had a really great time, but the Holy Grail War has to come to an end." Kurohime stretched and opened her arms. "Come on, give me a hug as a farewell gift."

Artoria did not refuse this small request.

When they hugged, she realized that the black-eyed man in front of her was actually smaller than she had expected. Holding him in her arms, he felt as soft as if he had no bones.

Taking advantage of this time, X arrived before the Holy Grail and launched an attack with all his might.

An astonishing amount of energy flowed through the Holy Grail.

Then came the surging black mud, which began to spread throughout Fuyuki City.

"ended."

When a beam of light descended, Su Lin's entire body vanished.

She completely left that worldview.

Chapter 314 The World of Swords

Outside the worldview lies a chaotic and meaningless "place".

Because of the system's ability to visualize, in Su Lin's eyes, the worldview was visualized as islands or isolated cosmic spaces, while the void between them was a void coordinate that did not contain the worldview.

"We're back in this place again."

As far as the eye could see, in the vast emptiness of the boundless universe, countless worldviews existed. Those closer could be seen, but those in the far distance were merely tiny specks of light.

Some of the points of light were so far away that when actually zoomed in, they looked like galaxies containing countless stars, so vast that it was unimaginable.

In this environment, he summoned his newly acquired character, Tachibana Kanade.

The base usage time is 30 minutes. Due to system enhancements, all combat-type clones can now extend their normal incapacity period by 8 hours. Under the buff, this time can actually be extended to 12 hours.

As a white-haired girl, Kanade Tachibana doesn't have a great figure; she's petite, which is precisely what makes her incredibly cute.

Furthermore, Tachibana Kanade's abilities are also very special:

[Angel Editor: Combat skills can be edited programmatically on the computer.]

Yes, combat skills need to be edited by the user, rather than being directly given the abilities from the anime.

"That's understandable. Tachibana Kanade's strength lies in the versatility of her combat abilities."

So, in this void, using the computer (pseudo) provided by the system, Su Lin devised hundreds of convenient skills. However, for some unknown reason, he couldn't teach Tachibana Kanade to fly.

"That's about it. I'll add more later if I think of anything else."

Judging solely from combat strength, Tachibana Kanade is even significantly stronger than Kurome.

"So, System, what is the next world?"

[In Sword Art Online (SAO), upon entering the game's world, you will directly enter the game's world and exist in a data-driven manner.]

The system will digitize the host and all everyday clones according to the current world rules.

Experience points and skills gained in the game will be permanently retained, and items and upgrade rewards can be transferred to real-world applications.

"Sword Art Online? What a wonderful world! I can finally see doujinshi as a character... Pfft, no, I can finally experience true immersion in a game."

While Rikka Takanashi can create similar props, they are far inferior to a true holographic immersive game.

[This world quest is now being issued.]

[Main Quest: 1. Raise at least one of your main body or clones to level 80 or higher. 2. Complete SAO floor 100 within the time limit.]

[Mission Rewards: 1. Random Final Battle Clone. 2. Mysterious Heroine X Spirit Origin Ascension Stage 3.]

"The third stage?" She paused for a moment, then seemed to have guessed something.

"Will the combat power be very high in the world after swords and blades?"

The system was silent for about ten seconds, and then a three-dimensional projection suddenly appeared in front of us.

A gigantic... neural network-like structure, with countless voids between the massive fibrous bodies, so large as to be unimaginable, resembling a universe.

This is a holographic projection containing all world coordinates.

[If we consider all worlds as a single universe, then the distances and combinations between them are actually very close to the real universe. From the outside, all worlds constitute a giant ellipsoidal space. The structure of this space resembles the three-dimensional structure of the universe, a three-dimensional grid composed of countless giant nerve fibers. The grid has both dense and sparse areas, much like the human brain.]

[But in fact, this ellipsoid is not three-dimensional; it is presented in three dimensions for your convenience.]

At the very center of the ellipsoid lies a crucial world, the highest point of all energy levels. Immense energy leaks from it, spreading towards other lower energy levels like a vast river cascading down.

For any transcendent being, transitioning from one worldview to another inevitably involves traversing coordinates. The amount of energy required to cross these coordinates is closely related to energy levels. That is, moving from a lower energy level to a higher energy level is like moving from downstream to upstream, requiring more energy. Conversely, moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level requires the opposite.

Whether moving from a lower energy level to a higher energy level or vice versa, the leaked energy disperses. Some enters the nearest worldview, while some falls into a void, tending towards chaos and disorder. Therefore, as time passes, the total energy capable of maintaining the worldview decreases, with most dissipating into other coordinates, making it difficult to maintain a stable state. This process is known as the entropy increase phenomenon of the worldview system.

Under this principle, the higher the energy level of a world, the higher its energy density, and the more terrifying its combat power. Therefore, to enter the central main world, one needs to increase their strength. However, as time passes within each worldview, even the highest-energy worldview will eventually collapse into a lower-energy one. The demise of the multiverse system is an inevitable fate.

……

It was a bit too profound, and Su Lin fell silent after listening to it.

A few minutes later, he asked, "So, System, are you planning to take me to the highest level of world?"

【right. 】

"That will take a long time, right? To be honest, the distance I've walked is practically the same as not moving at all."

[Not many worlds are needed; as long as the strength and energy are sufficient, one can directly transcend all energy levels and enter the central world coordinates. Individuals with low strength cannot exist stably in higher-energy-level worldviews. Therefore, the main purpose of the Sword Art Online world is to enhance the overall strength of the main body and everyday clones—in other words, to address your weaknesses.]

"understood."

Actually, the world of Sword Art Online can be a perfect vacation destination.

After all, SAO is just a game.

He can become a player, allowing his main body and clones to experience the joy of playing within the game.

"Then without further ado, let's prepare to enter the next world."

Su Lin took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally.

……

As the words fell, Su Lin's own coordinates began to shift, and the moon world before him began to recede into the distance.

He now remembered the system's words: worldviews are meaningless, coordinates are illusory, and the starry sky he saw was a figurative representation for his convenience; its actual complexity was extremely high, and it was vastly different from what he saw.

Perhaps that's a level that only the system can understand.

After all, the system itself is a cross-worldview system, while Su Lin is still just an ordinary person. He's like an ordinary person who's on an airplane, knowing that the airplane is flying, but not knowing how to build one.

Just as the colors we see are actually the result of brain processing, a processed piece of information, there are no colors in nature. Ultimately, they are just illusions created by the wavelength of light and the reaction of your own organ cells.

……

As he pondered this, he didn't know how much time had passed when a wondrous world, enveloped in round, transparent bubbles, appeared before him.

A worldview that only includes a single universe.

This is a world based on fantasy, roughly the same size as the universe you originally inhabited. The total amount of natural matter is also similar. However, in terms of power level, it is higher here.

"Does a high level of power mean the existence of magical things?" Su Lin asked疑惑地.

Yes, although both Earths are at roughly the same level of development, virtual immersion technology has already emerged here, while the Earth you once lived on hadn't even scratched the surface. The reason for this is that the world of Sword Art Online contains certain mystical rules, while your previous universe was purely physical.

Su Lin nodded and began trying to recall the plot of Sword Art Online.

It's been quite a while, and I can't recall much. But that doesn't matter, because the system just told him he can catch up on the series.

So, with a serious attitude, Su Lin watched all three seasons of Sword Art Online in one go, including the theatrical versions.

"It's just for the sake of the plot. The difference between holographic immersion and AR technology is only a little bit of time."

He had fantasized about what would happen if such a game appeared in his world.

Will people become addicted to games, escaping real life and immersing themselves in virtual experiences? Will social order collapse as a result? What can the government do to prevent that?

Thinking more deeply, what kind of technology would be needed to allow the brain to enter such a world?

"Forget it, why think so much?"

He shook his head. At that moment, the bubble of his worldview was right in front of him. He tried closing his eyes, and soon the dizzying sensation of traversing the world overwhelmed him. He entered it.

--split line--

Worldview: Sword Art Online.

Time: 2022.

SwordArtOnline, or SAO for short, is a fully immersive VR game developed by Akihiko Kayaba. Like many virtual reality games, it utilizes a headset developed by the electromechanical manufacturer "ARGUS" to facilitate the connection of human brain neurons to the virtual world, thereby achieving complete virtual immersion.

Just like in some novels, this game allows players to enter a completely fictional other world and experience scenery and visuals that do not exist in reality.

The popularity of SAO is astonishing. The initial pre-order of 10,000 copies sold out in just a few seconds, including many veteran players who had already experienced the game during the closed beta.

No one expected that such a game with limited pre-sales actually concealed a huge conspiracy.
