A mysterious girl who helped Kirito and his friends when they were in trouble at the White Tower. In fact, her true identity was created when Administrator attempted to use the Underworlder's fluctlight to extend his own life.
Although she looks like a young girl, she has lived for over 200 years with the sole purpose of righting Administrator's mistakes. In the end, Cardinal realizes that no matter how hard she tries, she cannot defeat Administrator, and chooses to die to protect Kirito and the others.
9th place! Bercouli Synthesis One

Bercouli Synthesis One is the first and strongest Integrity Knight born by the Administrator. While his memories have been rewritten, his true identity is that of the first captain of the guard of Rulid Village, who once slew the White Dragon of the Northern Cave. Kirito and his friends discovered the bones of the white dragon when they were young!
Bercouli's sacred treasure was created from the memories of the hands of the only clock in the Underworld, and has the ability to [slash the future].
8th place! Eugeo

A childhood friend of Kirito and Alice, he decided to become an Integrity Knight to help Alice. After leaving the village with Kirito, he enrolled in the Sword Training Academy, where he improved surprisingly well, becoming a senior swordsman. He eventually grows to the point where he can defeat the strongest Integrity Knight, Bercouli Synthesis One.
He wields the Blue Rose Sword, crafted from eternal ice blocks and blue roses, and can also create chains of ice with his Complete Weapon Control technique.
7th place! Alice Synthesis Thirty

Alice Synthesis Thirty is the third-ranked Integrity Knight, the strongest knight in the human realm. She is Alice Zuberg, Eugeo's childhood friend. Originally skilled in sacred arts, he was kidnapped by the Integrity Knights for violating the Taboo Index. Afterward, he studied swordsmanship as Bercouli's apprentice, becoming one of the most powerful swordsmen in the human world. lol
He possesses the sacred artifact, the Fragrant Olive Sword, crafted from the oldest indestructible object in the Underworld: the Fragrant Olive Tree. The [Fragrant Olive Sword] can transform the blade into countless ultra-sharp pieces, which can then be collected and used as a shield!
6th place! Leafa (Terraria Mother Goddess)

In sixth place is Leafa, also known as Suguha Kirigaya, who used a super account to help Kirito. She used the Terraria Mother Goddess super account and wielded the GM-equipped two-handed sword, Verdurus Anima.
Terraria has the ability to absorb life force from spatial resources and recover infinitely, making it an immortal character that fights against the forces of darkness!
5th place! Sinon (Sun Goddess Solus)

In fifth place is Sinon, also known as Asada Shino, who, like Leafa, dived into the Underworld using a super account. She dives into the Underworld using the super account Solus, the Sun Goddess.
Solus has the powers of unlimited flight and wide-area annihilation attacks, and is equipped with a white bow called the Aniheat Ray, exclusive to GMs. Keep an eye out for her fierce battle with Satoriza, her rival from GGO!
4th Place! Administrator (Quinella)

Administrator, the high priest of the Axiom Church and the de facto ruler of the Underworld, is actually a noblewoman named Quinella. Skilled in sacred arts from a young age, she has studied many things and even successfully contacted the real world. He persuades the employees of RATH, gains system privileges and all commands, and becomes the ruler of the Underworld.
The Administrator is strong, but the Sword Golem he created is also a formidable opponent.
3rd Place! Star Queen Asuna (Stacia, Goddess of Creation)

Like Leafa and Sinon, Asuna used her Super Account to dive into the Underworld, coming in third place! With his overwhelming strength, he was fighting effectively against the forces of darkness, but as their numbers continued to grow, he was so injured that he was unable to stand up.
However, when he learned that the leader of the Laughing Coffins was among the forces of darkness and was seeking revenge against Kirito, he rose to his feet once again. Using Mother's Rosary, entrusted to him by Yuki, he inflicted enough damage on the Laughing Coffin leader that he was unable to fight.
2nd Place! Gabriel Miller (Vector, the Dark God)

Second place goes to Vector, the Dark God, boss of the Dark Army. His true identity is Gabriel Miller, a member of the US military, who defeated Sinon as Satraiza in Gundam Go! Gabriel also dives into the Underworld using the Dark God Vecta's super account.
Vecta's power is to control the souls (fluctlights) of the Underworld's inhabitants.
Number 1! Star King Kirito

Of course, number 1 goes to Kirito! He's this strong starting from level 1 without using a super account...he's truly a master of the virtual world.
Kirito's desire to return to the real world and his feelings for his late best friend are perhaps what make him so strong.
He eventually becomes king of the Underworld, and the two of them work hard to rebuild it as his queen.
