Chapter 043: World-Piercing Ring

Asuna, having consciousness-transferred, could not log out and could only learn about Yui Ikari's recent situation from Wang Bo.

But Dr. Brave Stone could log out. He picked a specific time, came over, and met Yui Ikari offline. The two were friends in the game, and although it was their first offline meeting, there was no awkwardness; instead, they chatted quite pleasantly.

What amazed Dr. Brave Stone was that this new body's face was identical to Yui Ikari's.

How was this possible?

He knew that Wang Bo had not used Yui Ikari's DNA when creating this body, yet the resulting body was still exactly the same as Yui Ikari's.

In fact, not only the face, but also the height and body shape were identical.

Wang Bo said calmly, "It's just genetic adjustment, nothing special."

After all, Kryptonian genetic technology was quite advanced; achieving this was nothing. In fact, Kryptonians could do much more through genetic adjustment.

Things like mature women, lolis, queens, maidens—all could be done.

Even a trap with a big dick was not a problem.

But unless one had a special hobby, no one would adjust their future to become a trap with a big dick.

"Actually, I have a question I'd like to ask," Yui Ikari suddenly said.

"What?" Wang Bo turned to look at her.

"Actually, in the past few days, I've felt that my body seems to have undergone some奇妙 changes, and now..." She picked up a water glass, applied gentle force, and the glass shattered directly, but the fragments did not cut Yui Ikari's skin; instead, they were blocked by her skin.

"I can even do things like this now. Is this also part of the genetic adjustment?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, this is also part of the genetic adjustment."

"Is genetic adjustment that powerful?" Yui Ikari asked incredulously.

Wang Bo said, "The person who made this body for you is a Kryptonian. They are a special race that can strengthen their bodies by absorbing sunlight. If strengthened to the extreme, blowing out the sun with one breath or kicking the Earth away with one foot is not difficult."

Yui Ikari: ...

Dr. Brave Stone: ...

"Of course, please don't worry. Your body actually contains only a small amount of Kryptonian genes; most of the genes are human, so you probably won't evolve to that extent."

Yui Ikari couldn't help asking, "Then how far will I evolve?"

Wang Bo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm not sure about your upper limit either, but in hand-to-hand combat with an Angel, you probably won't lose."

Yui Ikari was stunned, and after a long while, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"This is no longer human," she said.

Wang Bo had a different view. "I think you underestimate humans. Although humans seem fragile, it's not impossible for them to become stronger. Humans can become more powerful through various methods. Some powerful humans are not inferior to gods; killing an Angel with one punch is not a problem."

Yes, Wang Bo was referring to One-Punch Man, Saitama.

He was a hundred percent pure human.

His strength was as Wang Bo said; even an Angel was just a matter of one punch.

After hearing this, Yui Ikari said she had nothing to say. But whether she believed it in her heart, only she knew.

Wang Bo also advised that to ensure the磨合 between body and soul, Yui Ikari had better not log into the game for a while and carefully experience every change in her body.

Yui Ikari readily agreed.

After about another half month, when Yui Ikari had possessed the body for a month, Wang Bo conducted a thorough examination and confirmed that Yui Ikari had fully merged with her new body.

Unless special means were used, no one could pull Yui Ikari's soul out of this body.

"From today, you can log into the game," Wang Bo said after the examination.

"Thank you very much."

Yui Ikari stood up and bowed to Wang Bo. Over the past month, Wang Bo had done his utmost to help her integrate her soul into this body, and she had seen every move he made.

Yui Ikari was naturally very moved by Wang Bo's meticulous care.

To be honest, if she weren't already a mother, she might have been touched by Wang Bo's actions and developed feelings for him.

Unfortunately, the timing was wrong. She was no longer that young and inexperienced girl.

"You're welcome," Wang Bo said with a wave of his hand. He had never intended to win Yui Ikari over; after all, she had a husband, a child, and a family. Wang Bo did not want to be a third party.

His earlier remark about traveling back in time to meet her before she knew Gendo Ikari was just a joke. The reason he did his best to help Yui Ikari was simply that he thought she was a good woman, and he happened to have the ability, so he might as well lend a hand.

After all, it wasn't a difficult task.

"By the way, I have another good news for you."

"What?"

"Regarding Asuna, I actually have a way to connect the two game worlds. After you return to the game, I'll try to send Asuna back and then resolve the SAO issue."

Upon hearing this, Yui Ikari clapped her hands and said, "That's really great! Thank you so much, Mr. Wang Bo."

With that, she bowed deeply again.

"I really don't know how to thank you enough. You are truly our benefactor," Yui Ikari said sincerely.

"You're welcome. This is my job."

Wang Bo casually took out a game helmet and handed it to Yui Ikari. The two logged into the game and found Dr. Brave Stone and Asuna.

Asuna, who had not seen Yui Ikari for a month, hugged her tightly when she saw her appear.

"Long time no see, Sister Ikari."

Yui Ikari smiled and stroked Asuna's hair. "Good child, good child."

After the two had poured out their feelings, Wang Bo led everyone to find Anorak and said he wanted to connect the two game worlds, hoping Anorak could temporarily make the OASIS game players log out.

Anorak nodded. As a GM, this was not difficult for him.

He sent all players a system upgrade message saying they would be logged out in ten minutes. Soon, OASIS users began to log out.

Ten minutes later, users who had not logged out were forcibly removed from OASIS by Anorak.

Only Wang Bo and a few others remained in the entire OASIS game.

Wang Bo turned to look at Lady Gremory. She casually threw a pitch-black ring to Wang Bo. This ring was the product of Lady Gremory's analysis of the World-Piercing Gate, called the World-Piercing Ring.

The World-Piercing Ring carried its own magic. Its function was simple: once activated, it would open a passage connecting two worlds.
