146 chapter 47
"Alright, spill it Kayaba...will I be getting my reward here and now?" Leonard questioned the "mad" genius that decides to trap ten thousand players into a game of death.
"What made you think that?" Kayaba smirked at Leonard question.
"I mean...I just defeated you, single-handedly in your strongest form? So don't I at least get something out of it?" Leonard complained.
"I mean I'm not here to listening to your life story and motive! That would be just too boring!- so I am not interested!" Leonard then added.
"...can you at least hear me out?...like, please...I mean you have been interrupting almost all of my great speeches since day one! At least give the soon to be a dead man his wish!" Kayaba rushed over and grabbed Leonard by the shoulder while having a dejected face.
"Like if you were to just listen! I will give you something that would worth your time!" the man then added.
Sachi who stood next to Leonard was quite speechless, she was completely lost for words, who in the world could have imagined that someone like Akihiko Kayaba could have a moment like this- and be witnessed by her, Leonard and a few other spectators.
"Leonard...I think we should hear him out...maybe he had a reason for trapping everyone inside of Sword Art Online." Sachi tugged Leonard sleeve.
"Alright fine, tell me...it better be a good reason- and not something like you getting tired of being worked like a slave in a black-hearted company and decide to go on a two years strike against them by trapping everyone inside of a death game- where you can be the boss,or in this case a being close to a god," Leonard stated in an unamused expression at Kayaba.
Upon listening to Leonard, Kayaba was stunned speechless by the somewhat random reason that Leonard had stated- before falling slumped down to his knees with a face that clearly said.
"I'm so dead inside right now…" he stayed like that for a long while.
"...don't tell me that's the reason…" Leonard looked at the man while his face was twitching.
Sachi and everyone else also had a similar expression on their face as well.
"You are...completely right...that is exactly what I wanted to say…" Kayaba broke into a slow laughter before slowly stood up and dusting his pant.
"So can I have my reward now?..." Leonard asked the man seriously.
"What do you want? You know that if you ask for a super rare item- you won't be able to keep it since Sword Art Online would soon be deleted right?" Kayaba told him while pointing at the floating castle that was disintegrating in the distant.
"I know...but I'm not asking for an item," Leonard told him while slowly shaking his head.
"What is it then?" Kayaba asked him.
"I want the "World Seed"..."
"WHAT! How do you know about that!" immediately after Leonard stated what he wanted, Kayaba jumped into action as his eyes popped wide open.
"Of course I know, I know a lot of things that a normal human would not normally know of...so tell me, do you have it- no that isn't exactly a question- I mean, are you willing to give it to me," Leonard asked him.
"...tell me, what are you planning to do with it…" Kayaba let go of Leonard while turned around and rubbed his eyes with his right hand.
"Preventing some event from happening of course…let just say that it is bad enough that it needs to not come to pass."Leonard told him.
"...I honestly do not know if this is a stupid idea or a godsend one...but...If I have to speak the truth now...I don't really care what going to happen in the real world anymore...so have fun." Kayaba extended his hand and immediately an egg shape object began to form out of pure light was levitating on the top of his palm- next, he gently pushed it into Leonard's chest.
[High-Value Target has been acquired: The World Seed- system detect usable component- would host like to integrated it with Multiverse System?] a message from the multiverse system popped up to inform him.
"Usable component? Cool? What is it?" Leonard questioned with his mind.
[Owner/Creator authorities overall Virtual World in Sword Art Online Universe.]
[The Ability to create a Virtual World: note technological supported also needed since this is just a software for the world- note- Hardware can be purchased through the multiverse achievement store(this is not an advertisement!)]
"...did this system here somehow become more shameless as the day passed?" Leonard inner chibi questioned as he read the last five words that were included in with the informative message.
[It's all host imagination- the system is standard issue to all competitor in the multiverse!] once again the message informed him.
"Hey Leonard, are you ok? You stood frozen there for quite a while now, don't scare me." Sachi went over and tugged him a little after seeing her lover in a daze after absorbing the World Seed into himself.
"Uh no, I'm fine...just encountering something unexpected from my system after taking in the World Seed," he told Sachi.
"What unexpected?"
"What system!" the two of them called out at the same time, not surprising that Kayaba was the one that asked about the system.
"Nothing, just like the Cardinal System, I also had something similar to it- but more mobile and actually had some intelligent…" Leonard lamented deeply while being pestered by the now overly out of character- hyped Kayaba keeping on asking what is the Multiverse System and all the weird tech wiz stuff that nobody can wrap their head around.
"Uhm...can someone tells me why we're here? And what will happen to Yui?" Kirito spoke up to get all the main audience attention as right now- he, Asuna and Yui felt like they sided characters of a late night comedy show.
"Oh right! Totally forgotten about you guys, sorry about that." Kayaba finally remembered that he also had brought along another two side character and a highly intelligent A.I.
"I brought you here because of her." Kayaba then pointed at the Yui.
"I was planning on saving her data into your NerveGear save, you honestly don't want her to accidentally follow the Cardinal System into oblivion right?... I mean I already seem the two of you around that one." he shrugged.
After he finishes saying that, the Data of Yui was immediately imprinted into the hard drive of Kirito NerveGear and Yui herself began to disappear into tiny light particles and faded away.
"Right- talking about that! Did you remember to log off the player through a secure channel?" Leonard finally reminded Kayaba- as he suddenly remembered the cause of the Fairy Dance Saga- the dark history of SAO.
"Hmm now that you remind me...no...I just log them off...oh crap...are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kayaba began to trail off before he quickly pulled off his user interface and began rapidly putting in codes while sweating bullets.
"Well...now that's taking care off...can the both of us leave now?" Leonard spoke out loudly to the Multiverse system.
[Main Objective: Kill one hundred floor bosses- complete]

Side Objective: Bloodsport- complete award 250 achievement points.
[Begin tagging target for crossover- merging Digitalize body to that of Flesh and Blood please hold- the process might be painful.]
The system informed him before his eyes popped wide open at the last comment.
"Sachi- brace for it!" he shrieked fearfully.
It was also then that he activates his first command as the new owner of the World Seed.
"Grant Admin authority to- Kirito, Asuna!"
