The sky darkened suddenly.
I let out a heavy sigh.
It was as if ti had stopped. The objects around
beca motionless.
Even Velkist, who had been glaring at
monts ago, and Jenna, who had tilted her head in confusion, were completely still.
The flas engulfing the capital and the rampaging monsters also froze in place.
[System Recovery in Progress...]
[A server error has disconnected your session. Please wait.]
It was a sight both unfamiliar and familiar to .
The aftermath of external interference in the ga.
[Ergency Access!]
[Verifying Password...]
*[Password: *******]
Ding.
A ssage popped up alongside a sound effect.
[Code Authorization – Alpha One]
[Access Verified. Opening Alternative Route...]
The edge of the field.
The transparent barrier began to crack as though fractured glass was spreading across it.
“I didn’t want to rely on their help.”
If they were going to resort to such tactics, I had no choice.
‘They won’t let us clear this.’
At most, they might only adjust the balance. But even that would suffice.
[GabageGa: What’s going on? LOL. Crashed again? 80th floor and it’s crashing? LOL, server quality is amazing!]
[chakucha (brave7): This ga is a total joke.]
Within M??bius, ti had stopped, but on Earth, ti was still flowing normally. The chat window quickly filled with mocking comnts.
The prince turned his gaze away as though sharing the sa view as I did.
「There are quite a few spectators outside, it seems.」
He murmured quietly.
「Perhaps they’re here to watch the play’s conclusion.」
“Say whatever you want.”
「Is breaking the script enough of a reason for them to step in?」
Crack!
The barrier’s fractures beca even more pronounced.
The codena was Alpha One, the rank directly below Alpha Zero, the ga’s lead director.
A voice I shouldn’t have heard echoed in my mind.
I doubted my ears.
“Pria.”
“Are you okay?”
“Co to where I am.”
I cut off the communication.
The prince in front of
wore an inexplicable smile.
‘Even Halkion isn’t responding.’
Even transcendent beings who had surpassed the limits of life couldn’t resist this interruption.
Only I, a player from Earth, and the prince, the target of the interference, could move here.
Just as it had been when Tel dealt with El Cid.
Yet, just now, Pria, an ordinary NPC of this world, had contacted .
“Is this your doing?”
「...」
“Han!”
I looked to my side.
Pria was rushing toward , breathing heavily.
Her elegant silver dress was soaked with blood and dust.
“Your Highness.”
Her face hardened as her eyes t the prince’s.
“Is this all part of your plan, too?”
「You don’t even call
brother anymore.」
“That is because of Your Highness...!”
「Because I betrayed Townia, is it?」
Pria bit her lip.
“I thought Your Highness was soone who loved Townia more than anyone.”
「That was your mistake, Pria. I have never loved Townia.」
The prince pointed toward the sky.
「At last... The conditions have been t.」
“Conditions?”
「A hole has opened in the heavens. Thanks to offering up those two old n as sacrifices, its size has grown significantly. Even the interference of the spectators is now reaching us. It’s not a bad setup.」 Rα??????????
“...”
「And the next sacrifice is on its way.」
Sothing was wrong.
I twitched my index finger.
The Bifrost, lying on the ground, leaped into my right hand.
[AZ: Balance... licklick... adjustnt...]
The fractures in the wall grew wider and more nurous.
The prince twirled his golden sword.
「Pria, did you ask
why I fight?」
“...”
「It is for a single piece of land. A place where golden fields of wheat stretch endlessly, with a small house nestled among them. A place where I don’t have to fight or suffer anyone’s interference.」
“Your Highness, I don’t understand...”
The glow around the prince’s sword grew stronger.
The crimson bindings that wrapped around his body crumbled into dust.
「Seventeen lifetis, thousands of battles, tens of thousands of drops of blood and tears. It was only then that I understood.」
“What are you planning?”
Phryos’ eyes ignited with a brilliant fla.
「Behold, Pria. This is the true Dinsion Sword.」
Whoosh!
A golden radiance transford into fla, engulfing the prince’s entire body and surging high into the sky.
“Han!”
I clutched my sword in my left hand and slamd my foot into the ground.
But an invisible wall blocked
as expected.
‘...Damn it.’
Did this bastard’s power extend to tampering with the system itself?
I turned my gaze to the right.
[AZ: Seris... faceplant...]
A virtual keyboard appeared as I flicked my right hand. Hurriedly, I began typing.
[Loki779: Alpha Zero! Stop this!]
The chat flooded with ssages, pushing my words further and further up.
The prince pointed his blazing golden sword forward.
Sothing was starting to erge from that very spot.
[Access Route Complete!]
[Balance Adjustnt Operations Initiated.]
[Responsible parties, fulfill your assigned roles.]
CRASH!
Glass-like shards scattered everywhere.
From the opening, a man clad in a black suit erged, stepping forward [N O V E L I G H T] calmly.
「I am Alpha One. Under the orders of the company, I have...」
「You’re from Server 1.」
「Yes, I...」
The prince’s smile deepened.
「Let’s start asuring coordinates, shall we?」
