The place where everyone is located is a very far away from [Ein Grandet]. Apart from the dense crowds, there are only white clouds slowly flowing in the air.

Therefore, when a slowly expanding black dot appears in the sky, it is like a drop of ink falling into clear water, which is particularly eye-catching. The only difference is that this ever-expanding darkness has not faded away slowly.

"I always feel that something bad happened." Kirito frowned and looked at the darkness in the distance, but he had no ability to fly and could only stay in place with other players.

"It doesn't matter. Even if Kayaba Akihiko makes any tricks, she will not be Lu Ming's opponent." Klein was very open-minded. This situation was no longer something he could intervene. The only hope was placed on Lu Ming.

Thinking of what he saw before, he suddenly became excited, "After that, is Lu Ming originally called Jess Beast? That appearance is so great!"

Klein's performance made Kirito temporarily let go of his anxiety. There was only one line of small words in the system vision that opened:

【The final stage is under implementation, and the current progress is 48%】

As time goes by, the progress in the future is still increasing.

soon.

I'll be able to go back soon...

Deep in the maze.

Lu Ming held the "seed of the world" and felt the power contained in it, but just as the black dot appeared, he couldn't help but pause slightly.

Although he was still in the floating city and could not see the existence of a black hole, he still felt a special force, constantly invading the world.

Dark, cold, despair.

The only meaning of this power exists may be to bring fear and death to others.

And in the world of Sword Art Realm, there is no such darkness that is powerful enough to affect the real world.

Silently collecting the spoils, Lu Ming flew directly to the source of the power.

At the extreme speed, a huge sonic boom sounded in the air, and nothing in front of him could cause any obstacles. In just a moment, Lu Ming's huge body rushed out of the floating city.

In front of him was a slowly expanding black void.

"Finally found you, Jess Beast."

A familiar voice came from the black hole. As he spoke, a small figure revealed his figure, a red top, green pants, and long yellow horse boots.

If someone else had worn this outfit, it might have been extremely funny, but the guy in front of him showed a desperate horror, and countless dark mists emerged from behind him, slowly immersing the world.

"The Clown King..."

Lu Ming had a complicated expression. He came to this world two years ago because of this guy. He didn't expect to meet again so soon. But now he is no longer as weak as when he first met.

The digital inscription on the weapon lights up slightly, which is the ability he truly mastered after he regained his life:

Tail blade: FORCEDTERMINATION (forced termination)

Left arm blade: INITIALIZE (initialization)

Right arm blade: OVERWRITE (rewrite)

Left foot blade: TRANSFER (transfer)

Right foot blade:COMPRESSION (compression)

Not long ago, with several of these abilities, he easily solved the "Incarnation of Redieho" of Kayaba's "Trinity".

The invisible power spread rapidly, and the black fog, which was originally expanding wantonly, quickly dissipated and disappeared as if it had encountered some natural enemy.

"What a terrible talent. I didn't expect that you would catch up with my evolution so quickly." The clown king spoke with a smile. In front of Lu Ming, he always made such a move to show weakness.

"Clown King, although we have met several times in total, it is considered a meeting. You come to me, but it is not just to talk about the past."

"It's really heartless. No matter how you say, we are all old friends."

"The same was true when you lied to me before." Lu Ming said coldly. When he was young and ignorant, the Clown Emperor spoke up with a "friend" and even spoke directly to "cutting trees". What was the result?

In the final decisive battle, he was directly a self-destruction when he approached, almost sending him away completely, and taking the opportunity to sneak out of the digital world.

"No, no, that's not called deception. I'm just selectively telling you part of the truth." The clown emperor raised his hand and waved it, then said, "And, I've already taken a big step successfully on the road to overturning the 'World Tree'."

Looking at Lu Ming's slightly surprised eyes, the clown emperor made a smug laugh.

That plan can be said to be his most proud masterpiece.

A long time ago, he had already understood that as long as he was still in the digital world, it was impossible to defeat the World Tree and Constancy, and even the legendary [Royal Knights] was not something he could deal with.

Therefore, with the help of outsiders, leaving the digital world is the only choice.

Judging from the current results, his choice is correct.

Looking at the clown emperor with a smug look on his face, Lu Ming was slightly stunned and couldn't help but feel curious.

Although the one in front of him was not the original body, he could indeed feel that the opponent's strength had been significantly improved, and even had the strength comparable to that of an ordinary imperial cavalry. However, if it could severely damage the "World Tree", it would be a bit exaggerated.

As if seeing Lu Ming's suspicion, the clown king chuckled and said, "My strength is indeed far from it, but no one stipulates that defeating the World Tree must rely on its own strength..."

His eyes fell on the world behind Lu Ming, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Just like this world, although it is just a world of data, as long as it is brought to the chaotic void, it will slowly evolve into the real world, and then guide this world to the digital world..."

Lu Ming: "..."

So is this guy trying to defeat the defense of the "World Tree" through the collision of the world?

"The World Tree has fallen into a deep sleep, this will be our excellent opportunity!" With a hint of seduction, the Clown King once again made a request for cooperation.

"What you said makes sense, I will think about it carefully, but..." Lu Ming spoke quietly.

"but?"

"It's not your turn to teach me when I do things!" As soon as Lu Ming's words fell, three "sword spirits" appeared directly in front of him. With their power, they joined forces to form a triangle green prism.

"I'm for everyone!"

Lu Ming's power was constantly injected into the prism, and the four of them combined to emit a green shock wave.

The smile on the corner of the clown's mouth just raised, and his face was a bit ferocious when he looked at the shock wave that quickly amplified in front of him.

"Destroy the Aurora!"

He put his hands together and emitted a powerful shock wave with charge.

But this body is just a clone after all. Although it still has the strength of an ordinary ultimate body, it is far inferior to Lu Ming. The green light column has almost no obstacles. After colliding with the [Destruction Laser], it immediately swallowed up the figure of the clown emperor.

"A gentleman takes revenge for ten years, I can't help it after only two years. It seems that there is still some gap from that realm." Looking at the black hole in front of me, after losing the support of the Clown Emperor's power, Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"Now, just handle some of the last trivial matters, Digital World, I'm going to come back!"
