Later on, he and his friends would test out Ordinal Scale.

However, upon defeating Quinella, his return was intercepted by Gabriel Miller and his allies Vassago Casals and Critter, all of whom launched an attack on the Space Turtle at the behest of the National Security Agency in order to retrieve the Soul Translator technology.

{{Quote|By letting Asuna into your life, you're putting millions of lives in even more danger than you could possibly fathom." <br> "Well, I'm not going to stand there and let her die! I promised her that I'd protect her!" <br> "Not like this! I know how much you love her, Kirito. I want to protect her just as much as you do, but we have a code to honor... a duty to follow: to lay down our lives to save those who can't save themselves.|Alice and Kirito}} | |||
Following the end of Unital Ring, Kirito and Asuna accepted a mysterious request from the Overworld Village to prevent a growing disturbance from engulfing the Ancient Forest, culminating in their encounter with the Eldritch Witch, who would later be revealed as the first ancestor of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]. Upon defeating her and bringing her to justice, they would earn the respect and honor of the Overworld Village's denizens, along with a fabled [[Sword]]. However, before leaving the village, Kirito visited the Eldritch Witch again within a nearby prison where she spoke to him about a prophecy, explaining that his life would never be the same again upon his return to the real world, revealing that he would soon be destined to steal for Asuna, to lie for her, and to kill for her. Before being enshrouded into a huge crystal, the Eldritch Witch told him to do her and the entire world a favor: to savor the darkness within him. | |||
Upon returning to the real world, he began having simultaneous nightmares, seeing himself walking over a destroyed city while numerous united hordes of the [[Fallen]], [[Hive]], [[Vex]], [[Cabal]], [[Taken]], and [[Scorn]], led by the dark commanders, slaughtered many innocent villagers and royal members and set fire to various buildings. Towards the end of the nightmare, he saw himself standing next to a corrupt Asuna who pulled his hand holding the [[Thorn|gun]] directly at a broken, weakened, and now mortal Superman, who pleaded for him to stray from his current path and kill himself to end the nightmare and restore truth and justice, claiming that he still has some good left in him. His eyes suddenly glowing red, he asked Superman how his mother was doing shortly before shooting bullets all over him, laughing as a bullet laced with a weaponized blend of a fatal variant of [[Wikipedia:Suxamethonium chloride|succinylcholine]] and [[Wikipedia:Kryptonite|Kryptonite]] sped into the Kryptonian's head, waking him up from a nightmare, covered in sweat and panting uncontrollably. | |||
