#168 - Section 168
Miyamizu Mitsuha listened and nodded gently, leading Riku into the house. At his request, she put on her shrine maiden robes.
After enjoying Miyamizu Mitsuha's Kagura dance, Riku was satisfied and activated time acceleration.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Miyamizu Mitsuha and Riku reappeared on the mountaintop.
"Tonight is the night the comet falls?" Miyamizu Mitsuha asked.
Riku nodded. "Yes. Don't worry, Mitsuha. Tonight, I'll show you a firework display, and then time will return to normal."
In these few days, Miyamizu Mitsuha had also grown, and her longing for Tokyo was not as strong as before.
Anyway, her family's god was omnipotent, and Tokyo wasn't such a great place after all.
According to the god, he could even go to other worlds.
Once the comet problem was solved, her life would surely be wonderful.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw the comet in the sky split apart.
"The comet really is having problems!"
At the foot of the mountain, Miyamizu Yotsuha looked at the comet in the sky and suddenly remembered what her sister had said a few days ago.
"Could it be that my sister wasn't lying?"
Just then, a large hand appeared in the sky, crushed the comet, and turned it into a sky full of stardust, like a grand firework display.
Miyamizu Yotsuha was shocked. "So amazing, it really is the God!"
In fact, at this moment, everyone in Itomori Town was stunned, looking up at the sky, unable to recover for a long time.
On the mountaintop.
Riku smiled. "It's all over. Mitsuha, I grant you my blessing. After this, come to Tokyo to find me."
Miyamizu Mitsuha nodded. "I will go soon."
Riku shook his head. "Don't come too early. A few years ago, I was just an ordinary person. If you found me, I wouldn't recognize you."
Miyamizu Mitsuha complained. "Then the God is too useless!"
"How dare you speak ill of God? It seems the shrine maiden needs to be punished." Riku embraced Mitsuha, gently silencing her subsequent argument, and separated after a long while.
"Alright, it's time to leave." Riku reached out and straightened the hair beside Mitsuha's ear, smoothed out the timeline of Itomori Town, and returned to his original timeline.
Because time was changed, Itomori Town was naturally intact.
Riku didn't stay and went straight back to Tokyo.
Not long after returning to Tokyo, the doorbell rang.
Opening the door, Miyamizu Mitsuha stood outside, more developed, wearing an elegant shrine maiden outfit, with her hair tied with a red string.
"God, I'm here!"
"Welcome home, Mitsuha!"
243. SAO's Release, Riku's Plan (3/5, Seeking Subscriptions)
"God's scent, it's been so long since I smelled it."
Miyamizu Mitsuha hid in Riku's arms, feeling his body temperature, and her mood completely relaxed.
For Riku, the separation was only a moment, but for Miyamizu Mitsuha, the separation was several years.
In a few years, Yotsuha had become a high school student.
Although she knew where the God was, she kept her promise with the God and waited until this time to come.
This couldn't be helped.
If she came too early, the God wouldn't recognize her at all.
So, Miyamizu Mitsuha could only keep looking forward to it, looking forward to reuniting with Riku.
"Riku, who is it again?" Frieren looked over. "It's a girl I don't recognize!"
Riku introduced, "Frieren, this is Miyamizu Mitsuha, a girl I rescued before. Actually, Mitsuha has been a member of the Familia for many years."
Frieren was shocked. "Many years? The power of time?"
Riku nodded, pulled Miyamizu Mitsuha into the house, introduced the two, and explained the previous mission.
Miyamizu Mitsuha: "Greetings, Lady Frieren."
Frieren's smile became gentle. "Mitsuha, you've worked hard. You'll be living in the Familia from now on, is that alright?"
"Of course." Miyamizu Mitsuha nodded. "I've already told my family."
The commotion caused by Riku's manifestation was very great. Miyamizu Toshiki naturally knew about it, and with the time reaching this point, the existence of God was no longer unfamiliar to everyone, so he naturally wouldn't hinder his daughter's affairs.
Riku smiled. "Aura, cook. Let's have a special meal today to welcome Mitsuha."
Aura: "Yes, Master."
When everyone finished training and returned, a sumptuous meal was already on the table.
Yanaumi Anzu: "It's so lavish, let's eat happily today."
Kato Megumi looked at Miyamizu Mitsuha. "Is this the previous mission target?"
Miyamizu Mitsuha behaved gracefully. "Hello everyone, my name is Miyamizu Mitsuha, a new member of the Familia. Please take care of me."
Eris smiled. "Welcome to the Familia."
Yurikawa Hana raised her glass. "Mitsuha, have a drink. This is a famous wine from Lady Aqua's side."
Aqua was shocked. "When was this bought?"
Eris snorted. "I helped Riku buy it."
Aqua was dissatisfied. "You bought wine and didn't offer it to your senior. The current juniors are getting worse and worse."
Everyone raised their glasses and cheered in celebration.
Suddenly, Gabriel said, "Riku, that SAO game helmet has been released. Virtual dive, I really want to play it."
Vigne sighed. "As expected, Gabriel wants to play games again."
Virtual dive games are the most advanced technology of this era. After internal testing, various advertisements came overwhelmingly.
Bus stations, high-rise buildings, TV stations, SAO advertisements were everywhere.
Even people who were not interested in games knew about the existence of virtual dive games.
Raphiel smiled. "Isn't it very interesting? Virtual dive is like entering another world with your real body. It's a rare experience for ordinary people!"
Eriri raised her hand. "I want to play too."
Riku smiled. "Play if you want. However, this game helmet may not be safe."
Miyamizu Mitsuha was shocked. "Is the technology not mature yet?"
Riku shook his head. "It's not that the technology is not mature, but the game developers have ulterior motives. They tampered with the helmet. Once you log into the game, the logout button will disappear. If you force a logout or die in the game, the game helmet will burn your brain."
Gabriel was shocked. "That's too evil!"
Vigne widened her eyes. "We can't let this go unpunished, can we?!"
Suwa Yumi: "I'll call my grandfather and notify him. There are so many game players. If something really goes wrong, it will be a big problem!"
Eris sighed. "Humans really like to oppress each other!"
Riku smiled. "No need to be so troublesome. I have an idea for SAO."
Kato Megumi asked, "Does God have another plan?"
Riku nodded. "That's right. Didn't I say before that I had planned to build a dungeon in reality? Why not combine SAO with the reverse side world and turn it into a real other world monster fighting game? Wouldn't that be more interesting?"
Kato Megumi pondered. "Does God benefit from putting so much effort into this kind of thing?"
Even the indifferent Kato Megumi naturally stood on the side of the Familia, considering things from Riku's perspective.
Riku smiled. "Let the whole world help fight evil spirits and turn the soul stones into divine power. The benefits are quite a lot."
Yukinoshita Yukino worried. "But how do we attract people who don't play games to join? There are many game players, but they are not the majority."
Riku smiled. "Game props, elixirs, physical fitness improvements, monster ingredients, can all of these be brought out of the game world in a certain proportion? Is that tempting enough?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was shocked. "God, you're playing big. If you do this, it won't just be game players who want to play the game. Even various countries will want to build teams and develop the game."
Gabriel's eyes lit up. "How interesting!"
Fujiwara Chika cheered. "I want to play this game too."
Shinomiya Kaguya frowned. "But, God, the number of evil spirits seems endless, but it is actually limited, right? Can you transform so many game monsters for players to kill?"
The number of evil spirits seems endless, and they can never be killed.
But that is for Familia members.
You know, the number of people who die each year is more than 50 million. This number is very large. The Familia can't kill all these evil spirits.
But if there are hundreds of millions or even billions of game players, these evil spirits will not be enough to kill.
Even if the number of evil spirits from previous years reaches billions, there will soon be a situation of too few monsters and too many people in the game.
Riku was confident. "Don't worry, there are many steps required to turn soul stones into divine power. We can completely turn these steps into monster fighting, so that an evil spirit can be used repeatedly."
In this way, even the divine power conversion magic circle can be simplified a lot.
Miyamizu Mitsuha was a little worried. "However, if too many evil spirits are destroyed, will it affect reincarnation?"
Eris smiled. "No, Mitsuha. The so-called soul actually contains three things: true spirit, soul energy, and memory. Evil spirits do not contain true spirit, only soul energy and a little memory fragments. Even if we directly annihilate them, it will not affect reincarnation. If the true spirit is still there, in fact, the human soul will not become an evil spirit, but will become a earthbound spirit."
Miyamizu Mitsuha: "I see, in that case, I am relieved."
Yotsuya Miko suddenly realized: "So, my father was a earthbound spirit before. No wonder he is different from evil spirits, and his appearance is no different from when he was alive."
244. Modifying the Game, A Real Game World (4/5, Seeking Subscriptions)
"How should that be resolved?" Aoyama Nanami asked weakly. "The helmet problem. And the problem of dying and resurrecting in the game. If everyone who dies uses resurrection magic, the consumption should be very large, right?"
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded. "We are doing this to obtain divine power. If we waste a lot of energy in this place, it is indeed not cost-effective!"
Yukinoshita Haruno calmly said: "Since God has a plan, he should have already considered this problem, right?"
Dolores: "Illusion and Reality Authority."
Eris's eyes lit up: "That's right, Riku has Illusion and Reality Authority, he can completely solve this problem."
Aqua's eyes were dull, she didn't know what everyone was talking about at all, she couldn't understand, so she just continued to eat and drink.
Yotsuya Miko: "Illusion and Reality Authority?"
Riku nodded: "That's right. Although the players entering the game world are real, they can also be illusory. The so-called death can naturally be fake. In this way, we can avoid the waste of large-scale resurrection magic. As for the helmet, it is the same principle. When logging in and logging out, players are between the void and reality. Even Kayaba Akihiko, no matter how talented he is, cannot harm players in the illusion."
Suwa Yumi regretted: "In this case, can't we punish him?"
Riku shook his head: "Of course not. After the plan is successful, you can arrest people."
Gabriel sighed: "We can arrest people now, it won't affect the plan. God is really mischievous!"
Raphiel smiled: "God is indeed a fun-loving person!"
A meal ended in a discussion of various ideas about SAO.
Then, Riku came to the reverse side world and began to modify it.
The reverse side world is basically one-to-one with Earth, vast and boundless, and the architectural style is the same, which is different from the one hundred-floor Western fantasy style game world of SAO.
However, this is not a problem.
Riku has already collected the world data of SAO. According to the data, he can naturally modify the reverse side world to be exactly the same. This is the power of the combination of Yin-Yang Authority, Life, Forging, and many other Authorities.
Moreover, because he can turn evil spirits into monsters in the game, these monsters are definitely more flexible than data monsters.
As soon as the idea arose, various magic circles appeared under Riku's feet, covering the reverse side world of the entire Earth.
Since the Authority has been promoted to LV.4, Riku's various abilities have been outrageously strong.
