Chapter 026: Reunion

For a hellish demon lord, even if only a projection, working on one thing while diverting part of its consciousness to log into a virtual game and play is not some fancy move.

It's the basics of basics.

Even ordinary people can multitask, let alone a hellish demon lord who transcends humanity.

In fact, Wang Bo could also do this.

But Wang Bo wouldn't, for a simple reason: he just wanted to play the game with his whole heart and mind, so why bother multitasking? Wasn't that tiring?

Though for a demon lord, this really wasn't a big deal.

After logging into the game, Wang Bo sent a message to Lady Gremory, the hellish demon lord, asked where she was, paid a teleportation fee, and arrived directly by her side.

Lady Gremory in the game wasn't much different from the real world, just dressed a bit differently.

In reality, Lady Gremory was mature and charming, calm with a hint of intellect.

But in the game, besides being mature and charming, she also had a hint of seductiveness. Anyway, when Wang Bo saw Lady Gremory in the game, he did get a hard-on.

"Who created this game? It's pretty good," Lady Gremory said as she walked down the street, looking around. What met her eyes were wide streets, all kinds of shops, and pedestrians in bizarre costumes.

Frogs, succubi, warriors, lizardmen, priests, students, office workers—fantasy and modernity blended perfectly.

Lady Gremory estimated that only very high-level illusions could achieve this.

And in hell, there were not a few who could cast such illusions.

But trapping tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of humans in a virtual world with an illusion was not something an ordinary demon could do.

In hell, the demons who could do this could be counted on one hand.

Even fewer demons could maintain the illusion almost every moment without letting it collapse.

Even among the seventy-two pillars of hell, few could do this.

Human creativity is truly not to be underestimated.

Wang Bo said, "The person who made this game is James Halliday, but he's already dead."

Lady Gremory sighed upon hearing this. "What a pity."

If this guy were still alive, Lady Gremory would definitely take him back to hell and have him create a game like this there.

That way, they demon lords could pass the time better.

Wang Bo naturally knew what Lady Gremory was regretting. It could be said that someone like James Halliday would surely leave his mark in history; his change to the world would be no less than that of any famous person.

Wang Bo said, "No need to regret. Though Halliday is gone, I can recommend someone else to you."

"Who?"

"Kayaba Akihiko."

Wang Bo smiled very happily. "This man, like James Halliday, is a genius. He created a similar game in another world. The other game world we need to communicate with is the one he created."

"Oh, is this man still alive?"

"Of course he's alive, and living well. In fact, even if he were dead, I would change history and bring him back," Wang Bo said decisively.

Lady Gremory couldn't help but glance at Wang Bo. "It seems you really hate this man."

"That's right, I hate him very much!"

No matter how talented Kayaba Akihiko was, the fact that he used ten thousand people as experiments, changed countless families, and caused countless tragedies was unforgivable.

Handing such a man over to Lady Gremory, Wang Bo felt no guilt, but instead wanted to laugh with joy.

"In short, to get Kayaba Akihiko as soon as possible, please do your best, Lady Gremory."

Lady Gremory smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Wang Bo said, "By the way, I'm planning to meet up with a few transmigrators now to carry out a mission. Do you want to come along?"

Lady Gremory nodded. "Of course."

After getting a positive answer, Wang Bo first asked where Caroline was. He planned to find Caroline and the others first, then meet up with Yui Ikari and the others.

Soon, Caroline replied with a message: "We're clearing a goblin nest, Master."

At the end of the message was a coordinate.

Wang Bo paid a teleportation fee and took Lady Gremory, the hellish demon lord, to find Caroline.

In a dim nest, Caroline and Malthus were clearing goblins. The two led the way, followed by Ada Wong in a red cheongsam.

Ada Wong, like Wang Bo and the others, used her real face and figure.

She held a dagger, dancing it up and down, killing goblins one by one and turning them into her experience.

Soon, they cleared all the goblins in the nest.

Ada Wong leveled up as a result.

Wang Bo clapped his hands to call Ada Wong and the others over. Malthus and Caroline, seeing Lady Gremory standing beside Wang Bo, were struck as if by lightning and quickly knelt down.

"Subordinates pay respects to Your Grace."

Ada Wong's eyes flickered a few times. She walked to Wang Bo's side and said with her head lowered, "BOSS."

Wang Bo said, "Let me introduce you. This is Lady Gremory, Duke of the seventy-two pillars of hell. You can call her Duke Gremory. My lady, this is my subordinate, Ada Wong."

Ada Wong quickly lowered her head and said, "Ada Wong pays respects to Duke Gremory."

She had seen demons before, so she naturally didn't doubt Lady Gremory's identity.

Lady Gremory nodded expressionlessly. Though she seemed amiable in front of Wang Bo, she was full of authority in front of demons.

Even those ancient high-ranking demons dared not act presumptuously before her.

Wang Bo clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone's here, let's go. We'll meet up with Asuna and the others."

Naturally, no one objected.

Wang Bo sent a message to Asuna, confirmed she was still in Rivendell, then paid for an expensive portal and entered Rivendell directly.

The next second, Wang Bo and his group arrived beside Asuna and the others.

As soon as Wang Bo's feet touched the ground, he saw a group of elves, dwarves, and humans surround them, encircling them tightly. Many drew their weapons, as if ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Malthus and Caroline, without a word, drew their weapons, ready to counterattack.

Asuna quickly said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. These are my friends. They've also come to join us."

Dr. Brave Stone also stood up and said, patting his chest, "I can assure you, they are not our enemies."
