Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld

Gabriel.

Gabriel.

Unlike humans, insects don't have brains.

Then where do they think?

In an insect's case, all of the nerves throughout its body act as the brain.

That's why, even if they lose their head, they can still live for a while.

If it's still alive even after it loses its head,

then where is the mantis' soul?

Gabe!

Gabe!

Alicia!

Gabe, let's play!

Okay!

I wonder where Alicia's soul is?

Unlike insects, humans can't live if they lose their head.

So the human soul must be in the head.

It must be somewhere in the brain.

Deep beneath Alicia's skin, skull, and brain matter...

her soul is hidden.

Dark Territory Obsidia Palace

Yo!

Is that you, bro?

Are you Vassago?

Yeah. That's right.

Looks like we were able to log in as planned.

Those are artificial Fluctlights?

You're telling me they're all humans with souls?

Dark Territory

Hurry! We flatland goblins will be the first to reach His Majesty, the Emperor!

Chief of the Flatland Goblins Kubiri

We're not getting beat by a bunch of flatland slug eaters!

Chief of the Mountain Goblins Hagashi

No one's getting the honor of the first kill but us mountain goblins!

Chief of the Giants Sigurosig

Chief of the Ogres Furgr

Tenth Champion of the Pugilists Guild Iskahn

Whatever you do, don't fall behind the other tribes!

Let's go!

Head of the Assassins Guild Fu Za

I am the head of the commerce guild. My name is Rengil Gila Scobo.

Head of the Commerce Guild Rengil Gila Scobo

Chief of the Orcs Lilpilin

I'm chief of the orcs, Lilpilin!

I'm the chancellor of the dark mages guild, Dee Eye Ell.

My 3,000 mages, as well my heart and body, all belong to you, Your Majesty.

Chancellor of the Dark Mages Guild Dee Eye Ell

I am the commander of the dark knights brigade, Vixur ul Shasta.

Before I offer you my sword, I have a question for you, Emperor.

Now that you've returned to your throne, what is it that you seek?

Blood and terror. Flames and destruction. Death and screams.

The western lands are full of the power of the gods who expelled me from the heavens.

The great gate that protects it is about to crumble, even as we speak.

I have returned to make my authority known far and wide across the land.

The moment the great gate falls, the Human Empire will belong to the people of darkness!

I desire only one thing.

The Priestess of Light, who appeared at the same time in that land, and nothing else!

I hereby grant you permission to kill and seize any other human!

Soldiers of the dark empire! The time you have long awaited is nigh!

I'll kill them! I'll kill every last one of those White Iums!

Battle! Battle!

Battle! Battle!

I'm surprised you had that kind of talent, Bro.

You should've become an actor instead.

I just did what was necessary.

You really should learn how to deliver that kind of speech yourself.

Since you're a level higher than those guys.

Forget giving orders or speeches,

I'd rather lead the charge into battle.

Since we've dived into this mind-blowing VR world.

This wine and this bottle seem like the real thing to me.

But in exchange, if you get cut, it'll hurt and bleed.

Since a pain absorber won't work here.

That's what makes it great.

Is that you, Captain?

Yeah.

We've just returned to the Main Control Room after watching you and Vassago dive.

I see. It's already the night of first day here.

I already knew about it, but time acceleration still feels odd.

For now, everything's proceeding as planned.

We'll be done preparing the units in a day or two,

and commence our assault on the Human Empire two days from now.

Wonderful!

Don't forget, all right?

Main Control Room 2 hours and 54 minutes after the attack on the Ocean Turtle

Once you've taken ALICE into custody, transport her there,

and execute the command from the menu to eject her into the Main Control Room.

Then ALICE's Lightcube will be ours.

Oh, one more thing. I want you to drill this into that idiot Vassago's head.

Huh?

Since you can't do anything that requires administrator privileges,

it won't be possible to reset your account, either.

In other words, if you and Vassago die over there, you can never use those superuser accounts again.

So the next time you log in, it will be as grunts.

Right, I understand.

What's the JSDF doing?
