Super God: If I punch you, you will die

An angry voice shouted, echoing the same tone that had once been used by the original beta testers to expose LegendBraves' enhancement fraud.

Such people only know how to sow discord.

This person is called 'Joe', and he is a short swordsman.

Such despicable people all have vile faces, and the way he looked at Lin Yan at this moment was even more cunning.

"Mr. Ya! There's no need to reason with this kind of person, just take it!"

"Shut up!!"

Ya Wang grabbed Joe by the collar and shouted angrily.

He wasn't a righteous person, nor a messenger of justice, but rather he was impressed by the strength of the man in black who called himself "Deadsword," a name known to everyone in the streets and alleys.

Even if they all rush in, they will probably suffer a crushing defeat.

Even the entire army could be wiped out.

Engaging in a direct confrontation with the man in black would be the most foolish thing to do, a point that Ya Wang is absolutely certain of, and he has insisted on this until now; otherwise, given his style, he would have already confronted him head-on. This is someone who threatens the interests of the entire guild.

Just like this time.

"The flag will be entrusted to you for safekeeping for the time being."

"That's what the King of Teeth said."

"Retreat!" he shouted to everyone, while Lind remained silent. He probably wanted to gauge ALS's reaction before making a rational judgment. Given the current situation, it was impossible for ALS to 'fight alongside' him.

"We're going back too."

Lin De greeted Lin Yan, and then his men left. Only after those dozens of people had left did Argo's tense face finally relax completely.

"call--"

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was so easy, just speak of the devil and he appears. Those two guilds are really quick to judge, but at least we've eliminated one potential threat."

Asuna was not having an easy time either, with two streaks of sweat on her fair cheeks.

Falling one drop at a time.

"Asuna."

Lin Yan was also somewhat worried about Asuna. Although she remained silent, she had already decided to stand by Lin Yan through thick and thin. No matter how powerful the opposing guild was, even if it was Kayaba Akihiko himself, Asuna was determined never to betray Lin Yan.

"I am fine."

That delicate voice was like flowing spring water, or like a small pebble falling into the calm lake in Lin Yan's heart.

It stirred up ripples.

In Lin Yan's usually calm heart, ripples began to spread.

"Lin Yan, let's establish our own guild. I want to fight alongside you no matter what, I want to be with you..."

Asuna finally revealed her truest thoughts.

She gave up her selfish side.

With Lin Yan's strength, he could absolutely command the strongest team, surpassing even the powerful guilds of ALS and DKB, and becoming the absolute ruler of SAO.

"A guild?"

Lin Yan looked up at the ceiling.

Asuna suddenly walked over, looked at Lin Yan who was resting on the stone bench, and then opened her arms to embrace him. She was like an elegant and intellectual lady, holding Lin Yan in her arms.

He gently stroked Lin Yan's back.

Gentle.

Warm.

Patient.

Lin Yan caught a whiff of a fragrant scent in an instant. It was completely different from other scents, unlike perfume or shower gel, but rather the scent of a human being.

"Lin Yan, let's walk together, all the way to SAO, all the way..."

I will consider the guild matter.

This was Lin Yan's reply, and ten minutes later, the two arrived at the sixth floor. Meanwhile, the entire Aincrad was celebrating.

Countdown—

Flames shot towards the upper level of the portal, the dazzling fireworks resembling blooming flowers or stars in the deep night sky, radiating brilliant light.

"Happy New Year."

Happy New Year!

Cheers resounded across the land.

In the death game SAO, perhaps only on festivals like this can one see such a lively and peaceful scene, with countless people cheering and celebrating. Of course, some people also shed tears, mostly thinking of the lively and happy scenes of reuniting with their families in previous years.

Lin Yan, Asuna, and Argo also arrived at the sixth floor. They stood on the balcony of the ancient city ruins that stood on the east side of Karluin, gazing at the fireworks.

"Happy New Year!

"Happy New Year!"

Argo cheerfully poured champagne for the two of them, and the three of them raised their glasses together. Behind her carefree smile, however, lay a great deal of bitterness. The lone wolf who had always wandered alone seemed to have finally found her place.

"The fireworks are so beautiful."

She gazed at the fireworks, her voice growing softer.

Low-pitched.

Asuna held Argo's hand tightly, even feeling the warmth of each other's palms. She was incredibly grateful to have met Lin Yan, and to have met Asuna. They brought her a long-lost warmth and a long-lost sense of security.

"Well, it's beautiful."

Asuna also said.

The two girls nestled together, watching the dazzling fireworks in the distance, while Lin Yan took a sip of his drink and a smile played on his lips. To him, this world was just one of many, and he had always been traveling and had never stopped.

From the world of Super God to the Marvel universe, and then to the world of Sword Art Online...

In each world, I encounter different people: Qi Lin, Angel Yan, Holy Keisha, Death God Karl; Iron Man Stark, Thor, Black Widow Natasha; and in this world, Asuna, Sachi, Agil... No matter what, the next world will surely come.

What exactly is it?

At the same time, a voice rang in Lin Yan's mind.

[Ding! Your check-in task was completed in the fifth floor boss room. The check-in time was 60 seconds. You have successfully checked in and received your check-in reward.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won a lottery reward.]

[Would you like to enter the prize draw immediately?]

"Yes."

Lin Yan chose 'Yes' without hesitation. Then, countless choices appeared before Lin Yan's eyes; the prize could be a weapon, an ability, or even other things.

They chose a weapon.

Countless weapons appeared, but Lin Yan chose cold weapons.

After all, the appearance of firearms in Sword Art Online would be truly laughable. Countless intricately designed swords surrounded Lin Yan. Before him were thousands upon thousands of swords: longswords, short swords, rapiers, and heavy swords.

Some swords resemble Western swords, while others look remarkably like the ancient swords of the ancient state of Yan.

Finally, a sword appeared before Lin Yan's eyes. Even Lin Yan, who had experienced countless trials and tribulations, couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Is this fate?

Or it's fate.

Fate has always been something that is hard to explain.

At that moment, Asuna looked at Lin Yan, "Look, if we don't watch the fireworks soon, they'll be over! Look how beautiful it is over there!"

"Look there!"

Lin Yan looked up at the sky; the fireworks had reached their peak.

Countless dazzling fireworks danced in the night sky, like exquisitely beautiful sprites, inspiring awe and wonder.

"Before we knew it, it was already 2023."

At this moment, Asuna's voice was also filled with complex emotions. Two whole months had passed since the server opened; time really flies.

Compared to the initial feeling of time dragging on endlessly, being with Lin Yan felt like time flew by.

So much time has passed without me even realizing it.

"Asuna."

"Ok?"

Asuna looked at Lin Yan, and Lin Yan smiled gently.

Happy New Year! I have a gift for you.

Upon hearing this, Asuna panicked and waved her hand, "I didn't even prepare a gift for you, this...this...isn't that inappropriate?"

"It's alright, this is a gift I wanted to give you, it has nothing to do with anything else, you must accept it."

Lin Yan said with a serious expression.

Argo glanced furtively at the sky, her eyes filled with envy. She genuinely envied Asuna, who had such an outstanding person as Lin Yan by her side, protecting and cherishing her like a knight guarding a princess.

This is the dream of countless girls.

However, Argo sincerely wished Asuna well.

"Ah."

Asuna seemed to be affected by Lin Yan's atmosphere, and nodded obediently, losing her usual sharpness.

At this moment, Asuna seemed like a girl next door.

Abandoning her usual sharp and heroic demeanor, Asuna only reveals this gentle side when she feels most at ease, especially in front of the person she is least guarded by, namely Lin Yan.

"what gift?"

Even Asuna was somewhat curious.

When the gift was placed before Asuna, her eyes sparkled with the light of a million stars.

"This is...this is..."
