The Princess's Evil Plan

In addition, this master of the Yellow Block Labyrinth has the ability to control the terrain and can change the surrounding environment at will, making him quite troublesome.

"The third, the King of Green — the Death Master! Represents the despair brewing between life and death in the soul..."

Her appearance is described as having black hair, green eyes, pale skin, wearing Black Bodysuit, capri pants, high heels, and a simple white bow tied at her left waist.

She has a pair of black horns on her head, with a structure similar to the tailbone of a vertebrate, slightly asymmetrical, and both hands can move freely between [normal bony claws].

Behind it are a pair of Black Wings that can be freely retracted or deployed. It is always accompanied by two enormous, levitating black skulls that emit green light from within.

The skeletons can reflect the surrounding scenery, and the skulls can emit green light to distract enemies.

"Once you make contact with her, please be quick and decisive. Don't let her affect your mood. If you stay with her for more than 30 minutes, you will die of despair!"

"Fourth place, the King of White – Strength! Melee DPS, representing evasion..."

She has short white hair, wears a black hood that covers her lips, a scarf with white flame-shaped patterns around her neck, and is equipped with Ogre Arms on her hands. Notably, she has a tail.

It was a tail resembling a metal spine, and its attack range was extremely large.

According to the information above, this girl hiding in the White Labyrinth possesses immense destructive power, yet she is the most gentle, consistently refusing to engage in combat with the player.

She often hides herself in her environment, but if you deliberately look for her, the girl, driven to the brink of despair, will display unparalleled destructive power.

"Fifth place, the King of Black - Black Rock Shooter! A versatile character, capable of both ranged and melee attacks, representing humanity's primal wildness and freedom. Possessing the ability to constantly evolve and transform itself, she is also the strongest!"

Black Rock Shooter has a slender figure, pale skin, and twin ponytails of different lengths on her head. She wears a black trench coat, and sometimes Blue Flame flickers in her left eye.

Her weapon is a giant cannon that can fire 20 rounds per second, which can also transform into Gatling Gun. Sometimes she wields a Gleaming Sword (and occasionally she equips both at the same time).

The girl has two deep scars on her right abdomen and left rib, and the background is usually a space made up of chains, crosses and Black and White Mosaic tiles.

This is the only terrifying being that ignores the Five-Colored Labyrinth terrain, can freely traverse different areas, and actively collects data based on the characteristics of the strategy group to evolve itself.

In the battle where the first raiding group was wiped out, the King of Black switched between two forms.

Firstly, the Berserk Form: its main weapon is a greatsword about 2.5 meters long, which can also fire bullets to assist in attacks.

After he tore off his right hand, a chain attached to his armor and weapon helped to reattach it and also enabled him to use the greatsword as a throwing weapon.

At this moment, the Blue Flame in her left eye was replaced by a purple flame, and armor-like decorations appeared on several parts of her body.

Secondly, the Bestial Form: The beast form of Black Rock Shooter is armed with a BLACK BLADE and a gun. Its hands are similar to those of BGS. It has a Blue Crown-like Flame around its head, its hair is relatively short and divided into three parts (slightly longer than that of the Black-Clad Mato), the flame in its left eye burns more intensely than the normal one, and it has a tattoo on its back.

The reason the strategy team failed was that the Five-colored Kings, Oldest One level was 70, had three chances to level up after death, appearing in forms of level 80, 90, and 100 respectively.

With a maximum level of only around 70, facing five max-level bosses was an unbearable experience.

However, this group of high-end combatants was indeed extraordinary. They actually managed to wear down the Five-colored Great Dragons from level 70 to level 100 before finally defeating them.

In other words, the next batch of players will have to directly confront five max-level bosses, and whether they can be resurrected is still unknown...

"According to online statistics, 50% of the overall level in the Hatsune World consists of casual players below level 30..."

"Those between level 30 and 40 account for 25%; those between level 40 and 50 account for 10%; and those between level 50 and 60 account for 4%."

"In reality, the number of players level 60-70 and above who are qualified to complete the game is less than 1%, at most less than a hundred people."

"The [Guns N' Roses Knights] are in charge of the strategy, currently the most powerful guild, and they've assigned around 50 players to the task..."

"This is the strongest fighting force that humanity can muster, yet they still failed..."

"Looks like Hatsune Miku's gift won't be easy to receive..."

"If only we could find the Betrothal Gift..."

After explaining the general situation, Keita sighed slightly, sat down, rested his right cheek on his hand, and fell into reverie.

"Betrothal Gift?"

Kevin heard a strange word and, fearing he might have misheard it, repeated it with a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing this, Keita gave a slightly embarrassed smile and scratched his head in response.

"Just kidding, legend has it that it's a microphone lost by the Princess, and it can grant the power to open hearts..."

"In the guide to conquering the Five-colored Great Dragons, a crucial line is mentioned: 'Her Princess has lost the key to unlock their hearts, allowing darkness and terror to descend upon them...'"

"Herrscher, please tune the world's strings, and let the sound of hope return to the stage..."

The commander vaguely guessed what was going on, and expressionlessly pulled out a Glow Stick Leek, casually tossing it onto the table.

"The microphone you're talking about, it's not this thing, is it?"

P. S.: The five-color team consists of monsters from the Black Rock Shooter series.

Chapter 172, Section 183: The Princess's Evil Plan

Amidst the scrambling and onlookers of the Black Cat Group, Kevin glanced in a certain direction, slowly walked out of the living room, and went to the balcony to overlook the bizarre and wonderful scenery.

With a soft creak, the half-open door was gently pushed open, and hesitant footsteps finally approached.

"Did you need something from me?"

Black Swordsman Kirito, leaned against the railing and asked softly.

"The hero who defeats the dragon may one day become the dragon himself..."

Kevin lowered his head and recited a prophetic legend from the Soviet Union with an ambiguous expression, then turned his intrigued gaze to Kirito beside him and asked a question, word by word.

"Then why... can't the kidnapped princess turn into a dragon?"

The Black Swordsman seemed to understand something and offered a interpretation of Kevin's bold guess.

"You mean, Miku is the final boss, and killing the Five-colored Kings countless times is useless without defeating her; they'll only get stronger with each battle..."

Kevin reached out and patted Kirito on the shoulder, his gaze sweeping over this bizarre and fantastical world.

"You forgot, this is her Game Labyrinth. What we've discovered has never been any fixed rules, only the most obvious protagonist..."

"In this world, Herrscher aren't the main characters; they're just Tool Person to enrich the story, used and then discarded..."

"Only one person can shine on stage... and that's our Princess, of course..."

"If you were the developer of this world and the game's designer, and you wanted to appreciate your masterpiece, which position would offer the greatest enjoyment?"

After Kirito finished contemplating, his gaze, fixed on the twelve musical notes, revealed complete understanding; the answer was self-evident.

The fact that she created so many strange and unusual things shows that she was definitely a restless person. How could she possibly stay obediently in the audience seats of the castle, playing the role of a princess waiting to be rescued?

She'll definitely join the game and play with the Herrscher she's chosen.

The only one who can rival the savior is naturally the Demon King!

"Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the girls representing the five negative emotions may actually be products that differentiated from Hatsune Miku herself..."

"Perhaps, they are the Dark Personality of Hatsune Miku..."

"Therefore, the innocent and pure victim is the 'princess' in the tower, while those who rule and dominate this world are the 'evil dragons' in the labyrinth."

"They are inherently intertwined and symbiotic. To resolve the problem completely, we must first get past the princess. If the order is wrong, my friend..."

Actually, Kevin had another important basis for his speculation that he didn't state outright.

That is, in a future game, Sword Art Online, one of the game's creators will also directly integrate into the world as a villainous boss.

Therefore, anyone who thinks that once they reach level 70 and gather enough people, they can form a team to take down a boss is simply asking for trouble!

That scallion must be the real Admission Ticket issued by the mastermind behind the scenes.

It seems that Her Princess has taken an interest in him, and the next challenger she wants to face is Kevin.

However, after the brief conversation ended, the Black Swordsman fell silent; he and Kevin didn't have much interaction.

Because of painful memories from the past, he is even less willing to form deep friendships with others, lest he find it difficult to let go when he loses them.

"Okay, I need your help to defeat the boss..."

Kevin had no choice but to reveal his purpose and extend an invitation to this gaming expert.

"I'm just a low-level player..."

Kirito shook his head slightly, but he had not yet developed any trust in Kevin.

"How about joining first? We have plenty of time to upgrade..."

"In fact, it turned out that the main gate guarded by those five giant dragons was completely impassable; it was nothing more than a gladiatorial arena that Hatsune Miku had created for watching a show..."

"The real ticket to her heart seems to be with me..."

"Think about it carefully, Kazuto Kirigaya. I might be able to help you find the school Sachi attends..."

The commander's final words caused the Black Swordsman's pupils to constrict, and he was suddenly startled.

How did he know my real identity?

If... if he harbors ill intentions, his adoptive parents and their family, as well as Sachi, will be in danger!

"Who are you, and what do you want?! I'm just an ordinary Junior High School Student; you've got the wrong person!"

Amidst panic and anger, Kazuto Kirigaya felt a chill creep into his heart.

"Relax, relax, I won't do anything to them..."

"The reason we invited you might be to save the world..."

"No need to rush to answer me, think about it carefully for a day, little one."

Kevin responded half-jokingly and half-seriously, his clear and gentle gaze gradually calming Kazuto Kirigaya's emotions.

Then, to give Kazuto Kirigaya and logged off.

After a moment of mental turmoil, my body regained sensation amidst the feeling of weightlessness.

Two o'clock in the afternoon? The timing is perfect.

Kevin glanced at the clock, stretched, slipped on his slippers, and stepped into the living room, ready to have afternoon tea and relax.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he found Lara and her group lying on the sofa, staring blankly at each other, their eyes lifeless.

"What's going on? Who died again? Are we at a funeral?"

The commander's habitually sarcastic remarks had even dampened the spirits of this normally energetic group, making them lose all motivation to even bother with him.

"It's over! It's all over! My level 70 Unrivaled Assassin!"

"My level 70 Demon Hunter!"

"My level 70 Sword and Shield Warrior!"

"..."

Inside the living room, a group of internet addicts wailed as they poured out their tearful accusations.

"What?! In the level where you fight the Five-colored Great Dragons, if you die, you lose 10 levels and revive on the spot. If your level is reset to zero, your Delete Account and Quit Game?!"

Kevin asked, looking somewhat surprised.

Alice nodded helplessly; she was also a victim.

The Five-colored Great Dragons's Gate was indeed a deep abyss. Hatsune Miku created the main gate simply to make it easier to watch the show from the tower.

However, Kevin felt a strange sense of pleasure at the misfortune of his former teammates who had abandoned him; he even wanted to cut a slice of watermelon and eat it.

But in an instant, Kevin seemed to realize something, and his expression became somewhat strange.

"Have you formed a union?"

Jill patted Lara on the shoulder in comfort.

"[Guns N' Roses Knights], funded by Lara, recruiting both online and offline, and even named after her favorite band..."

Lara covered her face in Affliction, her expression ashen and somewhat discouraged.

"I just wanted to get the First Kill Achievement and see what tricks this Artificial Intelligence could pull, but..."
