Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

In a hospital ward on the 20th floor of SAO, Yui and the Misaka Sisters were staying.

Although there are no players here, Yui used her powers to create some medical NPCs, and nurses are currently providing emergency treatment to Misaka Mikoto.

Not long after, another dimensional wall appeared out of thin air, and Kirito walked out from it.

Yui immediately stood up and went to greet him, her young face full of worry: "Dad, are you alright? I sensed a lot of signs of a battle over there."

"I'm fine. If it weren't a game character, I probably would have broken a few ribs," Kirito joked.

Yui said angrily, "Papa is not funny at all. I was so worried about him."

Kirito ruffled Yui's hair with two fingers, then his gaze fell on the Misaka Sisters lying on the worn-out mattress.

"How is she?"

"Emergency treatment was administered, and the situation has stabilized."

At this moment, Misaka Sisters were pale and unconscious, whether from pain or blood loss was unknown.

But at least the wound on his leg was bandaged with a simple bandage, and his sprained arm was put in a cast and immobilized.

Yui explained, "Papa, as you know, the medical devices in SAO don't work on real human bodies. This only saved his life. With such severe injuries, he probably won't be able to get out of bed for at least two or three months, and it will take even longer to fully recover."

As Yui said, while external items can work on the character, the reverse is completely impossible.

The purpose of health potions in SAO is essentially to restore a character's health bar, so they will not have a healing effect on a character with no health bar.

Kirito happens to have external medical supplies.

He first affirmed this approach: "Yui did a good job with the emergency treatment. If she hadn't been treated first after being entangled by that guy, she would have lost even more blood, and there might be nothing but a corpse lying here now."

"Hehehe, we're just following Papa's instructions~"

Then Kirito took out the key healing item from his backpack—a Senzu Bean.

He stuffed the Senzu Bean into the mouth of the unconscious girl, but then he realized something important.

Because the other party was unconscious, the Senzu Bean remained in his mouth without him swallowing it.

Upon seeing this, Yui suggested, "I recommend rinsing it with water and swallowing it."

"Perhaps that's a good suggestion."

Kirito then fetched a bottle of water and used his other hand to support the girl's back so she could lean back.

I unscrewed the water bottle, brought the opening to her lips, intending to slowly feed her a little water and let her eat the magic bean in her mouth.

But after only a couple of bites, Misaka's throat suddenly moved, followed by a violent cough.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Although his face remained expressionless, as he swallowed the Senzu Bean, his other, relatively intact arm began to swing, as if to express the pain of choking.

Kirito quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath: "Sorry, I didn't do it right and you choked."

Even though I was being very careful, I still choked. Taking care of someone is really not an easy task.

Once Misaka's breathing had stabilized, she looked at Kirito expressionlessly and asked, "Who are you? And where is this place?" Misaka asked with a mixture of surprise and wariness.

"I don't see any curiosity or wariness on your face," Yui remarked from the side.

Misaka Sisters turned to Yui and said, "Strange creatures," Misaka concluded with some curiosity.

"But you didn't show any curiosity on your face."

As a program originally designed to support mental state management, Yui is highly sensitive to human facial expressions and emotions, and can often deduce a person's current mood from subtle details.

Of course, this applies to SAO players who can monitor various data. However, when facing outsiders, without data to refer to, they often have to draw conclusions by comparing facial expressions.

The child in front of me said he was curious and surprised, but his expression remained cold and unchanged.

No, "cold and aloof" isn't quite the right word; "completely expressionless" would be more accurate.

This must be what they call facial paralysis, Yui thought to herself.

“Don’t worry about those details now.” Kirito answered the other person’s question: “I am Kirito, a kind-hearted swordsman who happened to be passing by. This is a hospital room as you can see, but it may be a little different from what you imagine.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Misaka Mikoto moved closer to Kirito, her expressionless gaze puzzling him.

"what happened?"

"Detecting... Your presence was not detected in the files. Misaka has increased her vigilance."

Kirito was somewhat surprised: "You can still connect to the Misaka Network here?"

“Although the signal is weak, the connection is not a problem.” Then Misaka changed the subject: “Since you know about the existence of the Misaka Network, are you a person involved in the experiment? Then Misaka requests to verify the operation number.”

Kirito directly stated, "I am not a person involved; at most, I am just a passerby who knows about the situation."

Then he got up and unwrapped the bandages from the other person's body, and removed the plaster cast one by one.

Misaka Sisters then got off the bed and stood on the floor.

I moved my arm slightly; it should have been broken by Accelerator earlier. And I couldn't feel any pain in my leg; the exposed wound had somehow become clean and white.

Sensing this, even her expressionless face widened her pupils slightly.

“Misaka’s injuries have fully recovered, and she was only an hour away from losing consciousness. It’s a medical miracle,” Misaka exclaimed.

"So what are your plans after you recover?"

Without hesitation, Misaka replied to Kirito's answer: "Of course, we'll continue the unfinished experiment."

The so-called experiment is the Absolute Ability Evolution Project.

The plan involves arranging 20,000 battles to upgrade Accelerator's skills, thereby evolving his superpowers from Level 5 to Level 6, making him an absolute power user.

The consumables needed for the battle are the girl in front of them, 20,000 clones of Misaka Mikoto, known as Misaka Sisters, each costing 180,000 yen.

Kirito sighed and said, "Can't you just forget about that so-called experiment and live like a normal person?"

"It's impossible, because it was Misaka's destiny from the moment she was created."

"Fate isn't predetermined." Kirito couldn't help but raise his voice: "In my opinion, fate is something that can be changed through effort."

Kirito's voice continued: "Moreover, you have your own consciousness, you can feel pain, and you can think, which means you are not 'material' to be manipulated."

Misaka lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "According to the agreement, Misaka's individual value was defined as an 'experimental sample' at the time of her creation. Terminating the experiment is tantamount to denying Misaka's established meaning of existence."

Hmm, the conversation is stalled.
