Chapter 42
After Zen managed to defeat Kayaba, not only Kayaba's character disappeared, but Zen's character also disappeared from that place.
Zen who saw that he was about to disappear then turned to Asuna and Scilica.
"See you in the world outside Asuna, Silica" Zen said then he disappeared from that place.
Asuna and Scilica who saw this were very worried and started crying on the spot because they thought that Zen had died too. But after they heard that Zen said the outside world they started to feel relieved.

Lisbeth was currently sitting on the terrace of the house she shared with the Zen group. It was past noon but there was no news from the Zen group yet. Currently Lisbeth is still sitting praying for the safety of her friends.
It's now 2 pm a few minutes past, Lisbeth who is currently still worried suddenly heard the sound of this game system notification.
[November 7 at 2:23 p.m. Game successfully completed]
It sounded like the system repeated the warning over and over again. The current Lisbeth immediately fell to her knees with tears running down her cheeks.
"You did Zen," said Lisbeth.
After saying that finally Lisbeth's character started to light up as if she was about to disappear from that place.
.

Asuna and Scilica were now freed from the system that made them unable to move. At this time the two of them started to stand up followed by all the players around this area. Then they heard a notification from the system.
[November 7 at 2:23 p.m. Game successfully completed]
The system sound that sounded repeated over and over again the notification was just like what Lisbeth had heard before.
"Finally done Asuna-san" said Scilica.
Hearing this Asuna just smiled as she looked up at the room.
"See you in the outside world of Zen" Asuna said in her heart.
"Pina, thank you for accompanying me until now" said Silica who started to cry and her character started to shine. On the other hand Asuna and all the players there started to emit light from their characters' bodies.
"Looks like we'll be leaving Silica, see you in the outside world" Asuna said with a smile etched on her face.
"See you in the world outside Asuna-san. And goodbye Pina" said Silica and the two of them along with all the players in this room started to disappear.

Zen was currently standing on a transparent plain above the sky. In the distance he could see the floating plain that was Aincard. At this time it looks like the plain is crumbling little by little from the bottom.
Zen then stood facing where Aincard was while putting his hands in his pockets while looking at the sight of a city about to collapse. Right now Zen was standing right at the edge of this transparent plain.
It wasn't long before he felt someone standing next to him. Zen who sensed someone's presence ignored that person, because he knew who it was.
"It's a beautiful sight, isn't it Zen-kun?" said Kayaba who was next to him.
Zen who heard this still ignored the person until the person continued his speech.
"Currently, all data about this game will be deleted from the main server in the storage at the game developer's office, namely Argus. In 10 minutes everything in this world will be gone and all surviving players have started to exit the game." Kayaba said
"Do you think by deleting all the systems you created, all this will end?" asked Zen who was still looking ahead.
"What do you mean Zen-kun?" Kayaba asked.
"You'll find out what I mean." Zen said.
"Okay then, but don't you want to know why I made all this Zen-kun?" ask Kayaba
"If I may guess, you created all of this to satisfy your childish lust, right Kayaba-san?" Zen said.
"Maybe your guess is right Zen-kun, I've even now forgotten the reason I created this world" he replied.
"And it seems our conversation ends here Zen-kun, because it's time for me to leave this place" Kayaba said as he turned his back to Zen and started to walk away from him.
After a few steps, Kayaba Akihiko's presence from that place vanished. Zen himself was currently still staring at the floating plain that was crumbling in front of him until it was completely destroyed.
The current Zen character immediately brightened and disappeared from the place.

Suguha was currently practicing kendo in the training room at her home. Right now he was so focused on practicing that he felt that his practice was enough and started to rest.
"When are you guys coming back?" said Suguha who was lying on the terrace of the training ground.
Suguha spends every day going to school and visiting her brother and a man, Zen. Right now Suguha was confused about her feelings, because she justknow that he is not the younger brother of Kazuto's brother.
While still resting in this place, Suguha was startled by her mother's voice.
"Suguha, hurry up, get ready, we're going to the hospital" her mother shouted.
"Hospital?" said Suguha who started to panic, because if there was a sudden call from the hospital, it would usually tell that the person had died.
Suguha without thinking immediately left the place and started to clean herself and get ready, then went to the hospital where her brother was being treated.
Arriving at the hospital, Suguha was surprised by the number of people who came to this place, people started rushing to visit the people who were being treated here.
Seeing this, Suguha and her mother immediately ran to where her sister was being treated, but they were shocked to realize that her brother was not in her room.
"Mother.. where is Brother?" said Suguha.
The two of them then started questioning the nurse there and started checking around the area. Not long after, they found Kazuto in a woman's room. The current situation is very worrying.
Seeing this, Suguha's mother immediately hugged her child. Meanwhile the woman who was with Kazuto started to smile and greet Suguha. Seeing this Suguha started to feel something strange inside of her.
It didn't take long for Suguha to remember something, and she said goodbye to her mother and sister and ran towards a room in this hospital.
After she arrived in front of the room in question, Suguha immediately opened the door slowly. When she entered the room, Suguha saw a very thin man with long black hair sitting on his bed looking out the window.
"Z-Zen-san" said Suguha. Zen then turned to him and smiled. Even though he is currently very thin, his face still shows his good looks.
"I'm back Suguha-chan"
