Chapter 494 The Speculation and Shock of the Formation of Shozo
"Asuna..." Yuuki Shozo's words abruptly stopped, his body stiffening as well. He had heard strange noises coming from Yuuki Asuna's room and feared something had happened to her...
But now it seems that something has indeed happened... only, it's much bigger than he imagined.
After a brief silence, Shozo Yuki asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who are you people?"
“Don’t panic, Mr. Jiecheng!” Rick spoke very calmly, his words clear and logical. “We have no ill intentions toward you or your family. Nor is it related to the unusual sight reflected in the sky right now.”
"Of course, from another perspective, we also came to this world to deal with the special phenomena in the sky."
Akira Yuki's eyelids twitched a few times, and he forced a smile. "I see. Thank you all for your help."
But in reality, Shozo Kiku didn't believe a single word Riku said.
Rick, Tu Shan Honghong, and Bruce Wayne are alright... Although Tu Shan Honghong has fox ears on her head and Bruce Wayne's attire is quite strange, their forms are ultimately human.
And white beard... how could a normal human being look like that?
Maybe it's an alien, or perhaps a giant from another world reflected in the phantom image in the sky...
After all, the Yuuki family has a deep connection with the SAO game, so the Japanese official team has also approached them... Based on the information revealed by the official team and his own connections, Yuuki Shozo has learned that the illusory world in the sky corresponds to the fantasy world of SAO...
“As expected, no one believed me.” Rick sighed, turned to look at the Ancient One, and asked softly, “Does the Ancient One have a way to erase the memories of mortals?”
“Of course there is! And it won’t cause any harm to a person’s spirit.” The Ancient One smiled gently.
Shozo Yuzuri's expression froze. He forcibly suppressed the urge to turn and run away...
On one hand, Asuna Yuuki was still in the room; on the other hand, if these people truly possessed extraordinary powers, he would have no chance of escape.
He might even anger the group of people in front of him... Not only would he face certain death, but he might also drag his wife and son down with him...
"Let it go." Whitebeard rubbed his temples and looked at Yuuki Asuna with a hint of indulgence.
Although Asuna Yuuki concealed her anxiety well, Whitebeard, with his powerful Observation Haki, still sensed it. For Whitebeard, protecting his children was almost instinctive.
He said in a low voice, "That guy is, after all, Asuna's father. It's not good to lay a hand on him in front of Asuna! Or rather, if Asuna has no objection, you can do it."
The Ancient One glanced at Asuna Yuuki with interest. "I don't really care. After all, my eyes have already seen it... Even if his memory isn't erased, it won't have any extremely negative impact on Asuna Yuuki in the future."
"I see!" Asuna Yuuki's eyes lit up instantly, and she bowed to the Ancient One. "Thank you very much."
The credibility of the Ancient One's words is naturally quite high.
Seeing this, Akira's eyelids twitched again, but after thinking for a moment, he felt somewhat relieved.
The group of people in front of him seemed to genuinely mean him no harm. Moreover, they seemed to trust Yuuki Asuna completely.
Although... he still couldn't understand why his incredibly obedient daughter would know such a group of beings who seemed to possess extraordinary powers...
"Hmm?" Yuuki Shozo suddenly thought of something, his eyes widening. "Wait a minute, I remember... Asuna has played Sword Art Online many times, right? She's even a veteran player."
"So, are all these people here her friends from the game? It's not just that the SAO world is invading the real world, but even those players who used to fight monsters in the SAO world have gained the power of the SAO world due to the influence of the world invasion?!"
This is undoubtedly an incredible thing... but it's the only reasonable explanation that Shozo Yuzuriha can think of...
Moreover, compared to the idea of turning the virtual world of a game into reality... this is actually not so incredible.
"...It will take approximately three more hours for the world to officially merge! The enemy will officially invade." Su Han's voice was indifferent and detached, revealing an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
He was surrounded by a faint white mist, giving others a sense of transcendence and mystery.
The reason Su Han descended in this form was to test the special power of the real world that he had previously replicated using the Eye of Revelation.
The Ancient One looked at Su Han with a strange expression, muttering to herself, "In terms of temperament, he is quite similar to Mr. Zhang Sanfeng!"
"In other words, the newcomer who came to help us complete this mission is a master of the Eastern fantasy system? Or even, possibly, a Heavenly Emperor from the Eastern mythology system! No... perhaps, the other party might be the founder of the Eastern pantheon?!"
A multitude of thoughts raced through the Ancient One's mind.
Whitebeard didn't have as many ideas as the Ancient One had imagined. He stared at Su Han and asked, "Can we start this battle as soon as possible?"
Su Han remained silent, only glancing at the Ancient One. After a moment's thought, the Ancient One said, "Of course... but are you really not going to make any preparations?"
“I was already prepared long before I came to this world.” Bruce Wayne flicked his sleeve, and countless cards appeared out of thin air.
Tu Shan Honghong's lips twitched, and she glanced at the white-bearded man with a strange expression, saying thoughtfully, "I think I understand why Bruce Wayne isn't afraid of the Joker running away now."
The power symbolized by these armor cards could probably destroy Gotham City hundreds of times over...
Faced with absolute power, even the cunning Joker couldn't cause much trouble, right? After all, Batman's intelligence is no less than the Joker's...
When the Ancient One saw this, he was not surprised. He immediately put his hands together in prayer, and the world underwent a tremendous change at that moment.
The building gradually split apart, revealing streets that, like scrambled building blocks, stood haphazardly in mid-air. Cars still thronged, and pedestrians continued to walk... They noticed nothing amiss; everything seemed normal...
Above the mirrored world's sky, the illusory world appears increasingly real.

Chapter 495 Number Ten: I just changed my number, why don't you all recognize me?
At this rate, the enemy will officially arrive in a minute! Whitebeard obtained extremely accurate information through his Observation Haki.
After a brief silence, Rick turned to Su Han and asked, "Excuse me, sir... how should I address you?"
Remembering the demon god from last time... Rick wondered to himself, "Could this one be calling himself a god?"
