"Frank-hen-stein?" Momonga said out loud as he noticed a chicken running in their direction.
The chicken then jumped and performed a flip mid-air, landing on Yuki's head perfectly.
"... Look at this cock." Yuki said laughingly as he looked at the chicken that already made itself comfortable at the top of his head.
Momonga on the other hand, found this scene funny.
"Maybe it wants to spend its last moment with its creator," Momonga said.
"Hmm, Probably." Yuki nodded as he too found this moment cute.
But as much as he wanted to spend some more time here and cuddle his chicken, both of them hurriedly resumed their walk, cause the Server shutdown was already pretty close.
They cannot waste any more time. They would have more for sh*t and giggles later, but for now, they need to get to the Throne Room as fast as possible.
Now as they finally reached the 10th floor, they were greeted by a bunch of NPCs dressed in Maid uniforms. Well, except for the male one since he was in a Butler outfit.
"Sebas and the Pleiades." Yuki thought out loud.
"Woah... I'm surprised that you still remember their names clearly. Cause even though I used to log in frequently, I still kinda forget their names."
"I'm just built differently. Anyway, have them tag along. Let's rally them up for the very last time." Yuki said with a hurried tone, clearly showing his eagerness to speed up this scene, as nostalgic as it is.
Well, the tiredness from being up since this morning up until now is already creeping up to him so no one can probably blame him. Normally, he would have logged out already to rest at times like this, but for obvious reasons, he couldn't and was forced to endure it until his goal was complete.
"... Yeah, that's a good idea." Momonga agreed to Yuki's idea as he ordered the NPCs to follow them as both of them resumed their walk.

Not long after that, they finally arrived in front of the Throne Room.
-EEEEENGG!
The doors in front of them creaked as they slowly opened and revealed the Throne Room itself.
They proceeded to walk in after that.
Then, while they were approaching the Throne, they noticed the NPC that was standing beside the Throne.
But they didn't say anything about it.
"Uuh~" When they reached the Throne, Momonga looked back towards the NPCS that was following behind them, intending to make them stop.
"Alright, [ Stand by ]" Momonga said as he commanded the NPCs and proceeded to sit down on the Throne after that.
Yuki on the other hand, brings out his own chair and sits beside him.
"Uwah, what a sight. If only I can have this in real life." Yuki said with a bit of a mysterious tone in his voice.
"Yeah, if it is you, that's probably possible..." Said Momonga while laughing as he remembered how rich Yuki was in real life, clearly misunderstanding what he truly meant by that.
"Hmm?" But after saying that, Momonga's attention was suddenly caught by the NPC that was standing beside him.
He then pondered for a moment.
"... Albedo huh?" Momonga muttered as he started operating his panel, wanting to look at her description for some reason.
It's like, he felt a sudden urge to check her description somehow.
!!!
Though he's not the only one who felt that tingle. The guy on the other chair, Yuki, started sweating balls when he realized what he was trying to do.
"A- A few minutes more and it's all over now huh?" Yuki said with a sad tone. Completely masking the panicked expression on his face.
"Huh? Ah! Oh yeah, didn't notice that it's already that close." Momonga said as he looked at the rising timer on the corner of his screen, a sight that made him a little bit sad.
It's also a sight that managed to distract him from what he was planning to do just now.
Looking at this, both of them sighed.
Momonga sighed because YGGDRASIL, the game he played for a couple of years would now be gone in just a minute... and then there was Yuki who's just glad that he stopped Momonga in his tracks.
The reason why he's so glad about that is... unknown.
After that, a short silence covered the two.
"It's been fun playing with y'all Raizel-san. If I hadn't met you back then, I wouldn't have enjoyed the game and probably just quit instead." Momonga said in a low tone while feeling a bit emotional.
"Heh~ don't mention it. You are pretty much welcome."
As they all saw that there were only seconds left before the server shut down, Momonga closed his eyes as everything seemed to slow down for him. He started remembering everything and every moment he had with his friends while playing the game for 9 years.
"Thanks for everything, it was fun. It was really fun." Momonga said slowly.
Yuki on the other hand didn't say anything but just sat there. Watching the ever-rising timer.

At this moment, Yuki smiled gently.
'... After waiting for 13 years, it's finally starting.'
As much as he likes to cringe at the thought of it, he can't help but feel a little bit emotional.
He spent the 13 years of his life just preparing for this exact moment.
In those 13 years, honestly, he could have done so much more.
There are even some times when he just thought of stopping completely, but that very thought is the reason why he's still going. Because he hates that this kind of thought, lingers around his mind.
He can't believe that after all the privileges he's having, he still dares to think of such things. But alas, he finally arrived on the most awaited day of his life.
None of his past problems matters anymore, cause the suffering is now over. He doesn't need to worry about it any longer. Starting from now on, he will do nothing but enjoy his life.
He will enjoy it until he doesn't want to anymore.

At this moment, YGGDRASIL finally ended.
Expecting the upcoming New World, and New Him, Yuki readies himself for any unexpected happenings that the transmigration process might cause.
But even though that was the case...
[00:00:00]

[00:00:01]
He still yelped in surprise when all of a sudden, his vision darkened and a jolt of electricity ran through his entire body.
The electricity didn't hurt him that much but as this happened, anxiousness immediately surfaced in Raizel's mind. Thinking that something must have gone wrong.
Fortunately, this happening didn't last that long cause, just a second later, everything came back to normal again.
Making Raizel sigh in relief.
"Huh?"
A sigh of relief that... was cut short because the moment his vision came back, he immediately realized that.
"What?"
He wasn't in the throne room anymore.
-WOOOOSHH~
But in a completely different place.
