Who the hell are you?

"Everyone, come together. If we kill Kayaba Akihiko, maybe we can return to the real world!"

"That's right, this guy is the culprit who trapped everyone in the game for two years. There's no need to talk morality with him. Let's all attack him together!"

Previously, Heathcliff was the president of the Knights of the Blood Alliance and had always been fighting on the front lines of the strategy group. His reputation and popularity among players were also very high.

But when Kayaba Akihiko's true identity was exposed, he instantly became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

However, even facing many SAO high-level players present, Kayaba Akihiko, whose identity had been exposed, remained calm at this moment.

Instead, he looked at Seiya with a puzzled look on his face and continued to ask the same question: "When did you start to doubt me?

Although the "Mirror of Truth" can indeed reveal the true appearance in the game, it must be touched by the user to be triggered.

Even if you suspect that Kayaba Akihiko has infiltrated the players, it would be impossible to have every player touch the Mirror of Truth and give it a try, right? "

Kayaba Akihiko was very puzzled. His disguise should have been perfect, but judging from the way Seiya had just stuffed the mirror into his hand, it seemed that the other party had already been convinced that he was Kayaba Akihiko.

“I can’t say I’m sure of it. I was just skeptical at first. After all, compared to other players, many of your behaviors are too different.

As the main developer of SAO, you, Kayaba Akihiko, are more like a researcher than a so-called player.

We must have conducted quite a few boss raids together so far, right?

During each raid, I could feel quite obvious emotions from the players in other raid groups. These emotions included the joy of successful raid, the sadness of losing companions, the surprise of facing the unknown and the fear of death.

But there is only one exception, and that is you, Heathcliff, the leader of the Blood Knights."

"Strong strength may give you enough confidence, but you are a little too confident.

I can't see any fear of death in your eyes, nor any surprise at unknown changes. It seems as if everything is under control.

Previously, when we were attacking the BOSS on the 50th floor, that was also the toughest battle for the attacking team so far. You supported the front line for ten minutes, and your HP did not drop below 50%. Is that because your blood was locked?

But even though there are many doubts about you, because there is no definite evidence, I will only be suspicious of you."

After hearing what Seiya said, Kayaba Akihiko also smiled bitterly, then clapped his hands and said, "Because you are suspicious of me, you directly use the Mirror of Truth that I gave you during the public beta to test me, right?

No wonder Asuna said before, you think I am not simple, it turns out that you have been doubting me since before. "

Seiya really wanted to say that what he just said was pure nonsense, and he was so sure that the other person was Kayaba Akihiko because he was a time traveler.

But even if I say this, obviously no one will believe it, so at this moment I can only shamelessly say: "The Mirror of Truth is originally a useless thing, and it is no harm to use it to verify my conjecture.

As for why I have this thing, it's because when I entered the game in my original form, this thing was not triggered at all."

Kayaba Akihiko himself did not expect that what exposed him was the difference between players and game planners.

If you think about it carefully, it is true. Players play games more for emotional value, and as an administrator, he participates in the game more for collecting data.

“What a pity! I wanted to play with you all the way to the 100th floor of Aincrad as Heathcliff, because I am the final boss there.

But now that my identity has been exposed, this game obviously cannot continue, so let's meet again in the room on the 100th floor."

Faced with the numerous players from the strategy group surrounding him, Kayaba Akihiko was not panicked at all.

In this SAO world, as long as he wants, he is invincible.

He could also kill everyone present, but that would be too boring and would go against his original intention.

Just when Kayaba Akihiko, whose identity was revealed, was about to return to the 100th floor to be his own boss, Seiya suddenly called out to him and stopped him from leaving.

"You provoked me to fight, but now you're planning to run away? If I run away without a fight, then I should be the winner, right?"

Kayaba Akihiko, who was about to leave, was stunned for a moment when he heard what Seiya said, and then he asked in surprise: "Now that you know my true identity, you still plan to duel with me?"

To be honest, Kayaba Akihiko was also quite curious about the "unique skill" that Seiya possessed.

Because later he searched the huge database of SAO, but did not find any information about the "Shikigami Sword".

This result surprised Kayaba Akihiko, but he was also very happy because his original dream was to make SAO a real world like the real world.

What is the real world? It is a world with infinite possibilities, not just limited to the original inherent data.

Kayaba Akihiko saw something beyond the setting in Seiya, so this was the main reason why he was interested in Seiya.

Originally, he wanted to learn more about Seiya through a duel, but now that his identity has been exposed, his plan has to be temporarily scrapped. As for observing Seiya, he can only wait until the other party reaches the 100th floor.

Seiya had always been worried that he was too special and might be wiped out by Kayaba Akihiko. After all, in the world of SAO, the other party was no different from a god.

However, such worries are actually completely unnecessary.

It is even better to say that even if all the players in SAO died, Kayaba Akihiko would not let anything happen to Seiya.

Because of Seiya's peculiarity, some unknown possibilities have emerged in SAO's originally fixed data.

It might be possible to copy Seiya's own data and then erase it, but this would undoubtedly be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Unlike fixed computer data, humans are creatures that continue to grow. Today's Seiya has already brought possibilities beyond data to SAO, so what about him in the future?

"If you want to continue to fulfill the previous duel agreement, then I will naturally not refuse.

But if you lose, I don't need you to join the Blood Knights this time. You just need to tell me who you are."

Previously, Seiya was allowed to join the Knights of the Blood Alliance just to make it easier to collect Seiya's data. Now that his identity has been exposed, there is naturally no need to do so.
