Chapter 770: Reunion! The collapsing world (2/2)

”You tell me...”

Wu Yan shook his head.

”I don't know...”

A familiar and high-pitched voice came from somewhere far away.

”Papa! Mama!”

”This voice...”

The two were stunned by the sudden voice. They turned around only to see Yui in her original one piece white dress. Her eyes were misty with tears. She looked like a kid who came back home after storming out of her house. She wasn't brave enough to approach them.

”Yui!”

Asuna yelled in surprise. Excitement rose up within Asuna.

”Yui!”

She ran over to Yui and she hugged her. Asuna started tearing up once more despite stopping her water works a short while ago.

”Mama...”

Yui hugged Asuna back.

Yui thought she would be left alone in this world after the Cardinal System issued the world cleared notification.

She also wasn't expecting to see her loved ones the moment she opened her eyes!

At this moment, Yui is satisfied. Even if she can't leave this world, she's content with one last look at her parents...

”Ah, it seems I was correct to gather you guys here...”

Wu Yan froze up while the mother and daughter combo were stunned in place. He sucked in a breath of air as he turned around. He saw a brilliant looking man standing some distance away in a formal gown. It was a face unfamiliar to the three here. But, Wu Yan & co still recognized him.

”Heathcliff...”

Wu Yan bitterly chuckled.

”Or should I call you Kayaba Akihiko?...”

Kayaba chuckled in response. He looked down with a thoughtful gaze. Wu Yan, Asuna, and Yui also looked down. Then, they were petrified with shock.

An iron castle floated beneath them. They were looking at the iron prison that held them back for 3 years!

But, this giant structure is currently crumbling bit by bit. The oversized floating castle was getting reduced to nothing in front of their eyes.

Wu Yan sighed.

”Is that okay with you?”

Kayaba's eyes wavered for just a moment. He continued with an expressionless look.

”It did its job wonderfully. This is a fitting end for it...”

”Yeah?”

Wu Yan lowered his head as he waxed thoughtful.

”What about you?”

Kayba turned around. He looked at Wu Yan with a firm gaze.

”Like the castle, my end is only fitting...”

”I see...”

Wu Yan looked at Aincrad with a pitiful gaze.

”What a shame...”

”A shame?”

Kayaba raised his head.

”Why do you think so? Do you not hate it?”

Wu Yan chortled.

”I know this is going to disappoint you but I don't resent that thing. It never gave me bitter memories, only sweet ones...”

Kayaba's eyes turned blank for a moment. Finally, he condensed his thoughts into one simple line and a bright smile.

”That's great...”
