"Wait a minute, wait a minute! There are too many, too many!" Ai shouted, "Just now you said that King can be defeated, which is enough to make us uneasy! Now you are saying that there are... rules in this world?

And it has a higher priority than King’s rules?”

Yusaku and Ai didn't understand the first topic.

"Then how detailed should I explain it to you?" Paz asked rhetorically.

Yusaku and Ai looked at each other. This was the first time they saw Paz looking so talkative.

You don't see that often... No, it's obviously like he has something to ask of himself.

"Come one by one!" Ai said, "First explain to us what it means that King can defeat?"

"This world is virtual, I think you already know that."

"That's right, and Master Playmaker also understands it deeply, Nie——Sir Playmaker?"

Yusaku lowered his head and glanced at Ai, expressionless.

You'll get beaten later.

"But this world is not like what you imagine, where King takes everything he wants," Paz said, "because King is a manager, and only a manager, and he still has to act according to the rules of this world."

"..."

Yusaku seemed to have thought of something at this moment.

"You can tell me what you think of."

Yusaku thought about it for a moment, and then said: "The treaty of this world says that managers have the right to eliminate people who know the truth, but they have no right to inform all mankind of the truth... So he can only use me to send a notice to all mankind.

, in order to circumvent this treaty.”

Paz nodded.

These people are not hopeless.

"He is using me, not because it is his hobby," Yusaku seemed to have found the key to the problem, "but because he can only do this! He can only use me to tell all mankind the truth!"

"But why did he do that?" Ai asked. "I mean, why did he have to tell all of humanity that fact? Does that fact have any significance?"

"Didn't you already see it on the Internet?"

Paz's answer left Yusaku and Ai confused.

"I'm still a little confused," Yusaku said, "Can you give us some answers?"

"It's still too early to talk about some things now. Let's put this question a little later. When you fully understand what I mean, I will explain it to you. Now, skip this topic and ask something else.

.”

This is also the most important question.

Although Yusaku wanted to know King's intention of telling him the truth to all mankind, he still nodded patiently.

"You just said that there are higher authority and rules in this world than King?"

"That's right," Paz replied, "This world has a higher priority than King. You have all acted within the framework of the game rules set by King. Whether it is searching for documents that reveal the truth about this world or making the truth public, everything

It was all within King's expectation. King has never done anything beyond his authority, but you helped him cross that line..."

Listening to Paz's words, Yusaku's eyes slowly dimmed.

Paz was right. He looked very stupid no matter what, but he actually believed King's lies and even helped him tell the whole world the truth that shouldn't be made public.

Although I don’t know why I shouldn’t make it public…

"Back to the topic, there is only one reason. This world is false and made of machines. But in the final analysis, machines are man-made, and the person who built this huge machine is King himself."

"What did you say?!" Upon hearing the news, Yuzuo was completely shocked.

"Impossible!" Ai said quickly, "With the level of a scary guy like King, since he created this world, he should have successfully obtained the highest control of the world, but why..."

"Why did he only obtain the position of an administrator?" Paz smiled disdainfully, "Because someone else, after recognizing King's true purpose, took the lead in attacking and took control of the world from King.

Permissions."

"Who?"

"My mother," Paz pressed his chest, where his heart was, "King's wife."

"???"

The amount of information suddenly became huge.

"What did you say?" Ai said, "You said... you are the son of King's wife? Then you are..."

"No, I have nothing to do with King," Paz said. "The only person who created me in this world is my mother."

"Creation..." Yusaku and Ai's eyes widened little by little, looking at Paz standing in front of them in disbelief, "Can you possibly..."

Crack!

Network and information converged around Paz and merged with reality. In the digital world, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, forming a black giant sword made of thunder in Paz's hand.

Behind the scurrying thunder snake is Paz, who has transformed back into the image of the homeless knight... But this is still reality!

"I'm not human."

"Uh uh..." Ai was stunned, "You, you, you... what the hell are you!? Is it Ignis? Or Icarus?"

"I'm neither Ignis nor Icarus. I'm an AI created by my mother, but it's not an AI algorithm. I'm a substitute created by my mother... because she owes something to someone."

"Replacement?" Yusaku suppressed the shocked expression on his face. He once again thought of the guy whose face was subtly similar to Paz's.

"King's real purpose in creating this world is for your brains..." Paz changed the subject and looked at Yusaku and Ai, "Not just humans, but also AI. He wants to use your brains

and absorb the existence for his own use, which includes your knowledge, memory, skills and computing power. He not only wants to occupy it, but also wants to deprive and integrate it and use it for his own use. The real purpose can no longer be considered, but at that time he

There is only one last step before success, and you almost became his nutrients."

"That...didn't the people outside stop him?"

"It's too late. No one can see King's true face and true purpose clearly. Maybe they can see it, but they don't care. After all, there is hell outside and heaven here. As long as you can live in heaven, it doesn't matter if it is false.

"

"But King didn't succeed..."

Although he was frightened by what he heard, Yusaku still maintained his composure on the surface.

"That's because mother took his place first at the critical step."

"Why?" Ai said, "If the King and his wife were of the same mind, wouldn't this world belong to them long ago?"

"Because my mother was a very strict person," Paz said. "She said that she didn't want to see what she could do but didn't do anything when... that guy came back. She wanted to be that person forever.

set an example."

"Great parent psychology?" Ai couldn't understand.

"My mother occupied the position that King originally wanted to occupy and became the master of this world. She spent several centuries giving this virtual world real feelings and real existence. But what she didn't expect was that King

He actually found another way. He used part of the system developed by his mother to enter the world as a manager. This was a bold act, because his mother could find a way to quietly kill him at any time, but he successfully circumvented all of them.

dangerous, and has survived to this day,

What the mother didn’t expect even more was that King created another ‘virtual world’ as a threat so that the mother could not kill him as she wished..."

"Is that what you said!?"

Yuzuo suddenly thought of a possibility that he couldn't believe, that some kind of terrifying truth was turning into a huge cage to wrap him up.

"Link VRAINS," Paz said slowly, "from the first day of Link VRAINS design, it is not a virtual world in the virtual world in the true sense, but another 'real world', which King uses

Tools to devour your brains,

In that world, your death sometimes brings about real death. You think it is brain damage, but it is actually inappropriate. That is because in the two worlds, even if there is a distinction between the primary and secondary, sometimes because of the two worlds,

You feel the same feeling of death, so they are equal, but sometimes, at the moment of your death, King will completely swallow your brain, causing the illusion of brain death. Sometimes he will randomly select a lucky player, and there will be

Time will be taken away in pieces."

Yusaku: "..." Do you think you are particularly humorous?

"So I was born, created by my mother as a guardian, using a certain guy as a template..."

It’s this “some guy” again.

Yusaku had determined that Paz was referring to the Scarecrow, and noticed that every time the Scarecrow was mentioned, Paz would gnash his teeth, as if he hated the Scarecrow's existence.

"Is this the reason why you joined the Knights of Hanno and fought against SOL Company?" Ai spread his hands, "No wonder, you see that we are not active, but we have been very active in fighting against SOL Company..."

"I joined the Knights of Hanoi," Paz said, "but I didn't expect that the Knights of Hanoi, who are clearly opposed to SOL Company, would actually have something made by King..."

"Are you referring to..." He thought of a terrible program and said with doubt on his face.

Paz nodded and continued.

"It wasn't until the amount of calculations and permissions he obtained gradually exceeded the permission capacity of a management that he began to take the next step of the plan. According to the rules of creating this 'reality', he created another program, which is another...

Using the Knights of Hanno and everyone who wants to use the Another program, they devour the brains of players on a large scale. With the help of link vrains and the humans swallowed by Another, they integrate their brains and obtain a large amount of data and high computing power.

He finally has the qualifications to face his mother..."

The two masters are like opposing gods, one on the left and one on the right. Neither of them has any ill will towards mankind, but they dominate the destiny of mankind.

One regards humans as pigs, and the other regards humans as sheep, but at least shepherds and sheepdogs can still protect their sheep, right?

"Wait a minute," Ai seemed to be dizzy from the huge amount of information, "I have another question!"

Paz nodded, indicating that he could continue.

"I understand the supreme authority you are talking about! Your father is the supreme god in this world, and your father...forget it, that guy King wants to seize your authority. What does this have to do with another game rule?"

Ai wanted to put King in the position of Paz's father, but he changed his mind under the pressure of Paz's gaze.

"That is the complete law that supports the operation of this world," Paz said. "A program similar to truth supports the operation of this world without suddenly shutting down one day. That is not King's thing. King can only use it.

A small part, but not completely controllable.”

"what is that?"
Chapter completed!
