Did you... come from the real world, as well?
Yes. My name is Sinon.
I came here to save you and Bercouli from the Dark God Vecta, but...
I'm sorry. I was too late.
No.
I was such a fool.
How's the battle going?
Asuna and the Human Empire Army are holding off the red forces from the real world...
but just barely.
In that case, I'll head back north.
You can't do that.
Alice, you need to continue south to the World's End Altar.
If you can touch the console... no, the crystal panel on the altar,
you should hear voices from the real world.
Why would I?
Emperor Vecta is dead, isn't he?
The thing is, he's not.
When a real-worlder dies in the Underworld,
they don't lose their actual life.
The enemy who dwelled in Emperor Vecta...
there's a chance he could return to this world in a different form.
So the man that Uncle sacrificed himself to kill isn't dead?
He's simply vanished temporarily, to come back to life as if nothing happened?
Is that what you're saying?
Then what was it all for... why did Uncle have to die?
A duel where only one risks their life... it's...
It's nothing but a farce!
Then, Alice, are you saying that Kirito's suffering is also false?
Kirito's a real-worlder, too.
Even if he dies in this world, he's not really going to die.
But the wounds he sustained are real.
The pain he felt, his damaged soul... they're all real, too.
I... like Kirito.
I like him so much.
That's true for Asuna and the others.
And we're all... worried about Kirito.
We're wondering why Kirito had to go to such lengths.
Kirito sustained those wounds to save you, Alice.
And so did the knight commander.
In order to save you, he suffered all those blows
and bought you enough time to escape from the enemy.
Sinon,
if I go to the real world through the World's End Altar,
will I be able to return to this world?
Will I be able to see my loved ones again?
Yes. As long as you, and the Underworld, are safe.
Very well.
Then I'll head south.
I don't know what awaits me at the World's End Altar,
but if that's what Uncle, as well as Kirito, would want...
What will you do, Sinon?
I think that Dark God Vecta will come back to life right here.
I'm going to do the best I can.
I appreciate that.
I won't let your efforts go to waste.
Instigation
Well, I guess dying like this won't shame me if I see the previous leader in the afterlife.
What is this pain?
I know I want to slash that person.
I want to savor that battle again... that burns everything to its core.
And then I want to sever those fists, harder than diamonds.
I was sure that was my only desire.
Why, then?
Slash... slash... slash on and on.
Only at the end of that blood-smeared path will you find the key to breaking your curse.
At least, you might.
Oh, I see.
Thank you for all of this time.
Thank you, too, Yoiyobi.
You must be tired. Let's rest now.
Sorry. Your precious sword's broken because of me.
It's all right. I finally know why.
Why I've been slashing everything.
To find what I don't want to slash.
To find what I do want to protect.
That's why I kept fighting.
It was you.
Dammit. I wish I could've had a family with you.
What a strong kid we would've had.
Way stronger than the previous leader, than me...
The kid would've been the strongest pugilist of all.
No. I'm raising that child to be a knight.
Looks like things are about to wrap up, huh?
Thank you.
Klein...
I don't know how to show my appreciation.
Hey, come on. Don't be like that.
I owe you and that damn Kirito way too much to ever be able to pay you back.
He's in here, too, right?
After this battle, please go see him.
If you start telling your lame jokes again, he might wake up just to tell you off.
Man, that's harsh!
It'll be all right.
Everything will go our way. I'm sure.
Advance!
You said it!
Now then, there's one more round to go.
Right.
What's wrong?
Hey, Klein.
Doesn't that person look familiar?
Look familiar?
But with that raincoat on... their face won't...
No, it can't be.
There's just no way!
Am I seeing a ghost?
A-A ghost?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, that black raincoat...
no, that leather poncho...
That's the leader of Laughing Coffin...
- What? - Who is that?
That's PoH!
It can't be!
Stop. Just stop.
This is bad. This is really bad!
That colossal force didn't come from Japan or America.
It's from China and Korea!
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 8:47 AM Seoul, South Korea
I'll have to enlist soon, huh?
If only they had these in the army.
Link start.
"A bunch of Korean, American and Chinese gamers
made a new VRMMO and their server's been hacked by some Japanese players.
They're attacking the testers in game right now."
What's up with that?
Those red guys are the enemy!
Is that Japanese?
Vanguard, charge!
Push them back!
It looks like a massacre of the American players by the Japanese players,
but the Japanese side seems way too desperate for that.
Shanghai, China
Hey, Moonphase, did you see that video?
Is that you, Mei Mei Xiang? Yeah, I just saw it.
Then hurry and download the client.
The client?
"Seeking volunteers to help save the testers from the vicious Japanese attackers.
For anyone who'd like to join, please download the required client software to your Amusphere."
Is this it?
Mei Mei Xiang, what's your take on all this?
I'm not really sure.
But if it's true, then our comrades might be in trouble, right?
Well, yeah, I guess. But that video...
Why don't you just go ahead and install it? I'm going on ahead.
I guess I'll find out once I get there.
And it looks like most of my friends are taking part.
Here he comes!
There's no doubt... I know him!
Those eyes... that face... I know him!
Subtilizer...
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 9:03 AM Ocean Turtle
Well, Higa? Any problems?
Y-Yeah, we're managing.
I think we should be able to climb down to the pressure bulkhead in another five minutes.
Understood.
Once you're ready, I'll give the Ichiemon team the order to move in.
Roger!
Sorry about this, Mr. Yanai. Please look after him for me, all right?
Roger that.
How many tens of thousands of them are there?
Do they hate each other?
What's that?
The lock on the bulkhead has been disabled!
S-Someone go check the corridor!
The invaders just started attacking the Ichiemon team!
Hurry!
The cable maintenance connector is ten meters away.
Then I'll monitor Kirito's Fluctlight in Subcon.
Higa, good luck!
Right!
There you are, Moonphase.
What took you so long? What've you been up to?
Sorry. I was getting ready for my class.
This is the test server?
What are we supposed to do?
Are those guys really Japanese?
Comrades!
I am deeply grateful to you for answering my call to arms.
Unfortunately, the test players who were alpha testing this site
have already been killed by the Japanese.
However, they've moved to another test location,
so they can do the same thing there.
The Japanese have hacked the server,
and can produce as much high-spec equipment as they want!
Whereas, since we've been stripped of our admin privileges,
we can only offer you the default equipment!
Let's kick the cowards out!
Protect our server!
However, your sense of justice and unity won't be defeated by any sword or armor!
What's going on here?
It's like that voice is speaking directly into my mind.
Is that guy really an admin?
Can't he just shut down the server's power?
The enemy is right in front of us!
Go!
Don't overdo it, Asuna.
Give us a chance to shine, too.
He's right. Just leave this to us!
- Charge! - Attack!
Damn it!
The maintenance connector is in here.
Finally.
All right!
Now I can control the STLs with Kirito and Asuna, as well as their two friends!
Here we go!
D-Don't move!
Next time: Code 871.
