Evolution of a Girl

However, Asuna almost became a true NPC, but she was also a player. These two identities constituted an unprecedented innovation.

Asuna's life has become increasingly "heavy" over the past six months, a heaviness that even a false world cannot bear.

This is a "real" existence.

"I originally thought that such a thing could only be born in the spiritual world where Lelouch lives. However, miracles also exist in my world..."

At first, Kayaba Akihiko thought his world was just a boring, ordinary world. He wanted to create his own world, to create a "seed" for a new world.

But that was before.

By now, Kayaba Akihiko has gradually understood that even in the real world, things are not hopeless.

He can even...change the real world into what he wants.

This world does have special powers, like souls. Unfortunately, these powers alone don't seem to be able to form a powerful force. But compared to before, these changes have begun to appear.

Just like these players in Sword Art Online.

They didn't know that a huge uproar had already occurred in the real world.

As they play in the game, their bodies are also changing and starting to "synchronize" with their appearance in the game.

Not just the looks, but also the physical qualities.

The elderly begin to look younger, the sick begin to become healthy, and the skinny otaku who hasn't exercised for a long time is gradually turning into a devilish muscle man.

This is the interference of games in the real world.

No... Kayaba Akihiko prefers to call it "the soul's interference in the real world."

Of course, there are also some people whose changes are not big, such as Asuna, who has never had her face pinched at all.

And there are also some that become particularly large, such as those who choose another gender.

Of course, the latter is less common, as Sword Art Online has "restored" the player's appearance from the very beginning. However, as the game progresses, players will also obtain some wonderful props in the game, or experience wonderful adventures, which will lead to some physical modifications or transformations.

This was less common in the early stages of the game, because the game developers at that time were ordinary people and there were even bugs.

But things were different later on.

In the middle and later levels of the game, the tasks here are all produced by AI, and then Akihiko Kayaba makes some fine-tuning based on the content of the AI and it is done.

Just a joke, the tasks done by AI actually have no bugs...

Kayaba Akihiko himself would not use AI to generate such ideas, because he believes that this should be the result of the system's "natural evolution."

But in fact, this AI was developed by Akihiko Kayaba and Lelouch. Lelouch wanted to develop a drone to fly a mecha, while Akihiko Kayaba wanted to see to what extent AI could develop.

In fact, before this, the progress of both of them was not very good, but with the joining of Shinono Tsukasa, the situation changed. This "unscientific" scientist helped Kayaba Akihiko break through the bottleneck.

"Unfortunately, no true Fluctlight has emerged from the AI. Humans are still the only ones who possess Fluctlights."

"Asuna, you've become something between humans and NPCs. Your form of existence has gradually surpassed that of humans. Will your Fluctlight bring a new voice to this world?"

Kayaba Akihiko closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the world of dreams.

"Checkmate! Hahaha, Lelouch, you lose again!"

"Tsk, this unscientific woman!"

As soon as he fell asleep, Kayaba Akihiko saw Lelouch playing chess with Shinono no Suzu.

The two people over there saw Kayaba Akihiko and nodded towards them.

"I thought I'd stop dreaming."

"Hmm?" Lelouch, defeated by the Shinobi no Bundle, happened to hear the conversation. "What's wrong, Mr. Kayaba?"

"I scanned my brain and uploaded it to the online world. I thought I was no longer the same person, but I'm still here. So, even though my body is shattered, my Fluctlight still exists..."

Rather than answering Lelouch's words, it would be more accurate to say that Kayaba Akihiko was asking and answering his own questions.

"Hey, so you've become a cyborg? Let me see, let me see~" Shino Nozomi came in front of Kayaba Akihiko and pinched the expressionless Kayaba Akihiko.

"It seems that your world is also quite magical..." Lelouch beside him sighed.

"It doesn't matter. Even though I've entered the electronic world, we still have prosthetic technology in our world... Although it's not as advanced as the prosthetics in Miss Tianyin's world, it can still restore the appearance of a human."

There is also robotics technology in Kayaba Akihiko's world. Although it cannot be said to be very advanced and needs to be charged, it can still completely simulate the appearance and movements of ordinary humans.

"Things that aren't originally human can also be stuffed in there?" Xiao Zhizhishu suddenly asked.

“It wasn’t originally?”

"Yeah, yeah, that one over there—the ancient who calls himself a heroic spirit and that samurai with the moon-shaped haircut. Those two ancient people must be truly dead. Unlike us who are dreaming, they are truly in the dream world!"

The Shinonoseki refers to Tomoe Gozen and Ashina Isshin who are sparring with each other.

"Creating a body for Ghost... Come to think of it, in Miss Amane's world, people seem to call their souls and consciousness Ghost..." Lelouch thought of something.

Kayaba Akihiko remained silent, but this situation did make him curious.

However, compared to the existence outside the world, he cares more about the situation in his own world.

"If there's a soul in our world that can transcend the body and consciousness, Asuna would definitely be the last one to qualify."

He even considered whether he should continue to accelerate the time in Sword Art Online, so that the other party's soul could further transcend and become a life form with more freedom than the current human beings...

……

In the original Sword Art Online world, Kayaba Akihiko probably hadn't had his brain scanned at this time, but our story is different.

There are still a few chapters left in Crossdressing, so after finishing that one, I will focus on finishing this one as well.

Chapter 530 Asuna's Truth

Asuna slowly opened her eyes.

"Um... Yui. Good morning."

"Good morning, Mom~"

Asuna slowly opened her eyes and looked at her well-behaved "daughter" who was rubbing her eyes in front of her, with a kind smile on her face.

In the past two years, the strategy team has conquered more than 70 floors.

Among them, Asuna has made a great contribution. Although she is still an NPC, her abilities can be exerted to the greatest extent on the battlefield.

After all, it's data crushing.

Besides the statistics, the key is technique. Asuna's skills in battle are also overwhelming. Even Kiriko cannot match Asuna's speed and technique.

This wasn't a problem with the system's level, but rather something to do with Asuna's own reaction speed and experience.

Yui is the administrator of this system, and Asuna and Kiriko have already investigated this. One day, Yui suddenly appeared in front of them, so they took Yui to find her parents, but they found out that this person named Yui is actually an AI, an AI responsible for managing the emotions of all Sword Art Online players.

Akihiko Kayaba had upgraded the hardware of Sword Art Online, but the pressure of the global public beta was enormous, and time in the game passed abnormally quickly.

Because of this, the administrators of the game world gradually developed bugs, and a little girl with a human mind, Yui, was born.

After picking up little Yui, Kiriko and Asuna became "Kiriko's mom" and "Asuna's mom".

It's strange not having a dad, but that's the way it is.

"It's been such a long time."

In the world of Sword Art Online, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the conquest is still going on, many people seem to have settled down here. Even the members of the conquest team are already tired. If it weren't for Asuna's crushing with pure strength, the conquest speed would probably have dropped a lot.

"We're going to the 75th floor." Tongzi walked out of the room with a heavy face.

Over the years, Kiriko gradually returned her identity to Asuna, but every once in a while, Kiriko would disappear with Asuna's skin...

"Kiriko's mom!" After seeing Kiriko, little Yui smiled and threw herself on Kiriko.

"Be good, Yui~" Kiriko patted Yui's head.

He had considered staying in this world, but seeing Yui before him, Kiriko realized he couldn't do that. Too many people would slow down Sword Art Online's operations, creating more and more redundant data. Eventually, the entire system might even fail. By then, everyone would be affected, and Yui might even disappear before that happened...

"I have saved Yui's data. Although I am now in NPC status, it seems that because of this, the equipment on my side is free, and all of Yui's data is now on my side." Asuna said to Kiriko.

"Well," Tongzi nodded, then said, "We should set off."

"Moms, be careful on the road." Yui smiled and waved at the two of them.

"Yeah. Let's go."

Kiriko and Asuna left the room together.

Underneath her white robe, Asuna was wearing Laughing Coffin's slave attire.

However, the Smiling Coffin had been pulled out for several years, and even the remnants had disappeared one after another. Some of them were in prison, some were on the run, and some had even infiltrated the strategy group. The number of these remnants of the Smiling Coffin had been decreasing in the past few years.

Up to now, it seems that not many players care about this matter anymore, because these murderous guilds have long disappeared.

Because of this, Asuna can now feel more relaxed - at least that's what Kiriko thinks.

"Asuna." Kiriko said to Asuna, "Wait a minute... When you attack the boss, you have to be careful of Heathcliff."

"Be careful, Captain? Why?" Asuna looked confused.

"He... has a problem. Holy Sword Heathcliff, I suspect he can interfere with the game data. No, if I'm not mistaken, the leader... I'm afraid he's not an ordinary player." Kiriko said.

"Okay, I understand." Asuna nodded.

The two of them made it all the way to the 75th floor, where the attacking team had already assembled.

After that, the strategy began.

However, as soon as the strategy started, everyone discovered something was wrong, because the BOSS on the 75th floor was abnormally strong.

But surprisingly, Heathcliff's health never dropped below half.

The raiders suffered heavy losses, but in the end, thanks to Asuna's swordsmanship, they were able to defeat the enemy.

"Captain. No, you are Kayaba Akihiko, right?"

"Huh?!" Tongzi exclaimed.

It was Asuna who asked the question.

Kiriko wanted to question, but Asuna spoke before Kiriko could.

What should I do? I feel like my lines and roles have been taken away?!

Tongzi didn't react for a while.

"Oh, have you figured it out?"

Kayaba Akihiko looked at Asuna with a half-smile.

He also knew that Asuna knew him, and he even knew that Asuna knew that he knew Asuna's experience.

Asuna's Fluctlight had become increasingly noticeable. Her presence had become increasingly dazzling recently.

In other words, Sword Art Online's "nutrients" for Asuna have reached their limit.

Being found by the other party is almost foreseeable.

However, Kayaba Akihiko originally thought that this was at least an eighty or ninety-level matter, but he did not expect that he had been seen through now.

"You must be Kayaba Akihiko, right?"

Tongzi finally stood up.

"I see, that's because of the catalyst."

Kayaba Akihiko's words left Kiriko confused.

Kiriko wanted to say something, but Kayaba Akihiko snapped his fingers, and suddenly the world was paused. Everyone was unable to move, only Asuna could move.

"I was planning to wait for you guys at the end. But if that's the case—ah, I can't escape either."

Kayaba Akihiko discovered that although he still had authority, the space around him seemed to be blocked, and his authority... was restricted.

"Some application technique of some ability. Hmm, how about calling it a mind technique? This is a power that transcends the system."

Asuna smiled.

"Very good, then fight me. As long as you defeat me, I will let them all go." Kayaba Akihiko wanted to see Asuna's growth with his own eyes.

"Okay."
