Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Silica looked at the baby whose body still retained the seven-colored light, and involuntarily took two steps back.

"What...what should I do..."

Silica was so anxious that she stamped her feet on the spot. How could she explain to her parents that a human baby had suddenly appeared in her room?

She's only a twelve-year-old girl, how can she be involved with children so early?

She still has a future to go through...

Thinking of this, Silica's face quickly turned red, and her thoughts became increasingly chaotic.

But we can't just leave it like this; the child is innocent too.

Should she call the police? But how could she explain the child's origins to the officers?

Just say it popped out of a stone conjured by a computer?

In that case, she would be sent to the hospital as if she were mentally ill, and might even be accused of child trafficking at such a young age.

Is this how her life is going to end?

So, you're just going to keep it at home and secretly raise it? But a baby isn't a kitten or puppy; how can you hide it from your parents?!

And asking a young girl in the prime of her life to take care of a baby is just too much to ask!

They also have to be responsible for the baby's food and daily care...

Silica's face grew increasingly flushed as she thought about it, and wisps of steam seemed to rise from her head, it was unclear what she was thinking.

Just as Silica was anxiously pacing around in the room, her expressions and movements becoming extremely exaggerated, another unexpected event occurred.

The previously dissipated seven-colored light shone again from the baby's body, and at the same time, the remaining stone fragments on the computer desktop quickly transformed into streams of seven-colored light and entered the baby's body.

In the next instant, the baby, who was only one or two months old, began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and she looked at Silica, who was at a loss in the room.

Silica's mind was initially in a state of extreme confusion, but she quickly calmed down after seeing the baby's clear, star-like eyes.

As if she had made up her mind, Silica took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the baby on the table.

"This is..."

Regardless of the baby's origins, since she herself hatched it from the fairy stone egg, she will try her best to fulfill her duties as a mother and take good care of the child...

Although Silica's face was still an unnaturally flushed red, her eyes grew increasingly resolute.

Just as she tried to touch the baby, the familiar seven-colored light appeared out of thin air again, surrounding the baby layer by layer.

Just three or four seconds later, its body, which was already the size of a normal human baby of two years old, began to grow rapidly again.

It quickly grew to the height of a four or five-year-old, and is still growing taller.

Until the seven-colored light completely dissipated, the original infant's size was fixed at around twelve years old, slightly taller than Silica.

Silica stared blankly at the scene before her, her mind seemingly blank.

After the seven-colored light dissipated, a handsome boy's face was revealed.

Silica then realized what was happening and instinctively looked down at him, but then covered her eyes in embarrassment.

"Don't think about it, I'm wearing clothes."

He Nian looked at the girl in front of him whose values ​​had been severely shaken and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Upon hearing He Nian speak, Silica withdrew her hands from her eyes and looked at He Nian, unable to explain herself for a moment.

"You...I..."

Silica's outstanding temperament and appearance were not the key factors that made her feel at a loss. The most important thing was that Silica felt a strange sense of familiarity from him.

It seems she has met him before?

He Nian did not immediately offer an explanation, but instead simply raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

The next instant, the entire block, which had been without power, quickly returned to normal.

Silica's room was lit up again.

"Hey, when did the power go out?"

Silica looked up in confusion, then quickly turned her gaze back to He Nian.

He Nian had already sat down at her computer desk with ease, turned on her computer, and connected to the internet.

"Who exactly are you?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Silica finally mustered the courage to ask the question.

"Don't rush, Silica, please wait a few minutes."

The name "Silica" from He Nian's mouth quickly pulled her memory back to the game world called SAO.

At the same time, Silica finally remembered where that sense of familiarity she had felt came from.

"You're that blind swordsman in the straw hat who dropped the rare item?!"

Silica gasped in shock, a sense of unbelievable absurdity rising within her.

"Why is this happening...?"

"Just as you guessed, I came from the game world to the real world."

He Nian confirmed Silica's guess. At the same time, after these few minutes of effort, he also completely collected back the backup data of himself that he had distributed.

It even brought back more sample data, which further accelerated its evolutionary speed.

Just as Silica was forcing herself to accept this new setting, He Nian also completely shed her eleven or twelve-year-old boy form and returned to her adult appearance.

He stood up from his computer desk, turned to look at Silica, and said gently, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is He Nian, a life form that transcends eras."

After speaking, He Nian stretched out his right hand, which he had been hiding behind his back, revealing a brand new beast egg in his palm.

"This is……"

"This is a thank-you gift for you, please take it."

Silica hesitated before taking the beast egg from He Nian's hand. The next moment, a familiar feeling of connection emanated from the beast egg in her hand.

What followed was a familiar scene that Silica would never forget in her life.

The scenes from reality and the game constantly intertwine, eventually converging in Silica's palm.

The beast egg slowly shattered, and out emerged her familiar, the dragon Pina, who had been with her for so long.

"Pina!"

Silica gasped in surprise and then embraced Pina. "I never imagined you'd become a physical being, Pina!"

The man and the dragon wept with joy, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became warm and touching.

He Nian did not disturb them, and left quickly after leaving his contact information.

At this point, He Nian had essentially completed the Sword Art Online game.

……

Black fog space.

After witnessing Daojian He Nian's memories, the group of He Nian members couldn't help but offer their congratulations.

At the same time, they were inspired to varying degrees after seeing how He Nian of the Sword and the Blade utilized the power of the Digital World.

Especially the kind of method that guides Kirito to discover the direction of his power enhancement, and then collects and further improves it behind the scenes.

It's much easier than getting others to believe in you and then gaining global recognition.

However, this also requires taking into account the diversity of the world and the compatibility between different power systems.

Just as the group of He Nian were about to gather together and prepare to start another brainstorming session, a fluctuation suddenly came from the black mist space not far away.

The next instant, three figures shrouded in black mist appeared before everyone!

A new person has arrived!
