It was a pitch-black world, completely impossible to look at directly.

—As deep as a black hole.

"That's the one, isn't it?"

Having accomplished all this, the Queen and Nephthous smiled and looked expectantly toward the black hole.

and so.

…They could never have predicted what they would face next.

What exactly will it be?

Chapter 730 An existence with the same appearance as the first one...?

Next, it's not just Denmark.

The terrifying, annihilating spectacle of the sky exploding was visible all over the world.

"What is that?"

"A huge hole has appeared in the sky...? Are you kidding me? It looks like aliens have invaded Earth!"

"No, no, this is not the time to marvel at how amazing it is! There's a hole cracked open in the sky!"

"What could have caused this? Could it be that some extraterrestrial beings are planning to invade Earth?!"

"Don't worry about that for now. Look, that thing looks like it's about to spit something out!"

People from various countries: Japan, the United States, India, the United Kingdom, Russia—

They were all terrified by the huge hole that suddenly appeared high in the sky.

People have interpreted it with all sorts of speculation, and heads of state from various countries are also troubled by the cracks that have appeared in the sky.

From a reasonable geographical perspective, even if the United States could see it, countries on the other side of the world shouldn't be able to see that kind of crack.

According to intelligence sources, it seems that this phenomenon can also be observed in the sky in the Antarctic and Arctic regions.

That can no longer be explained by simple geographical or physical phenomena.

And what about this?

A man, whose views were completely different from those of the scholars on the surface, then revealed a different expression.

"They've actually opened the gate to the original world again?"

Inside a building in Academy City without doors or windows—

Chairman, Aleister Crowley.

A man with silver hair, whose features were indistinct, was suspended upside down and immersed in a culture tank filled with orange-yellow liquid.

His expression remained unwavering.

Even with such a massive global upheaval, it was still not a serious matter for this man.

The reason he wasn't surprised was because he had already anticipated that this would happen.

That's just a matter of time.

"And then, the person who opened this door was that girl named Hatsune Miku?"

"What do you plan to do? Are you going to wipe her out?"

“Even if she didn’t do it, I would have chosen to do it at some point in the future. Do you think I have any reason to lay a hand on her?”

"You really are something else. No matter what, you're always planning to plunge this world into annihilation again, aren't you?"

“Aivas, sometimes in order to pursue a greater goal, you have to give up the immediate benefits first.”

Aleister spoke of all this in an air of absolute authority.

For him, Hatsune Miku joining forces with those two demons and opening a connection to that other dimension was already an expected outcome.

If that's the case... then what exactly is his motivation for doing such a thing?

"How about it."

Aiwass turned his gaze toward Aleister.

"Your darling's number one... doesn't refer to this current substitute, but to the genuine number one in Academy City, and it seems she's about to return?"

"There are many ways to revive a person, but with the methods of this world alone, there is no way to bring him back from that state."

In the current timeline, apart from Hatsune Miku, probably only Aleister and Aiwass know everything that happened in the previous timeline.

"The place where he died was not the ordinary world; it was a realm that even I find difficult to analyze and understand."

"so…?"

"To break through this incomprehensible realm, we must rely on equally incredible methods."

Even the highest level of magic that the demon gods in this world have reached the pinnacle of, cannot compare to.

Aleister knows.

"Soul System... is that what it's called again?"

——————————————————————————————

With the power of the two demon gods, the gate to that other-dimensional world was finally opened.

Hatsune Miku and the others stepped into the vast space before them.

First of all.

What came into the girl's view was a scene that made her tremble violently.

dark.

Despite it being a pitch-black world, there was a place where they could find a foothold.

There was nothing there, yet there was a nauseating and unbearable oppressive atmosphere everywhere.

Just standing here.

I already felt as if my soul was being assimilated into the darkness of this space.

Even though Hatsune Miku has overcome so many barriers and possesses the power she has now, and even though she personally came here in the previous timeline and fought against countless enemies here.

—Even so, it was still difficult to resist this outrageous sense of oppression.

"Okay, just relax."

Compared to their own reactions, the two demons seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

Even so, both the Queen and Nephthous, the two demon gods, wore expressions of extreme curiosity.

"But no matter what, we still need to have a backup plan."

"Well, after all, this is a realm that even we demon gods have never seen before."

A world that even the demon gods have not explored.

That single sentence is enough to show just how valuable this pitch-black space truly is.

"If we're talking about exploring it as a new paradise, well... it will take some time. We need to figure out what the situation is like in this world first. Your Majesty, what are your plans?"

"If only we could come here at our peak strength."

"That won't do. Although I don't know if the true power of the demons will cause this world to collapse instantly, at least if we do that, an overly invincible expansion would be completely meaningless."

Having finally found a sanctuary untouched by human intervention, it would be utterly meaningless to suppress it with the strongest power, especially for demons who seek pleasure.

But then again.

"So, according to you, you have indeed been to this kind of place in the past, right?"

Nephtus and the Empress both looked toward Hatsune Miku.

"Then we need you to be our guide and show us what's in this space where there's no way out."

“Since it’s a world, it must have its value. I don’t believe that this place is really just endless darkness with nothing at all.”

This is true.

Hatsune Miku recalls what Accelerator and the others faced back then.

…That thing does indeed exist in this world.

It exists in the deepest realm.

"I will lead the way for you."

Although it's impossible to find the direction and entrance to the deepest part immediately, ...

Since the memories exist in Hatsune Miku's mind, she must be able to reach there.

It's just a matter of time.

For a young girl, the one thing she has in abundance is time.

…She was already willing to give everything to save one person.

Regardless of all my time from now on.

It still belongs to one's own life.

"I'd say, there's one thing I've never quite understood."

At this moment, the empress suddenly said something.

"You, even though you say it's to save someone, to save someone we don't even know."

"But what kind of person could make you go to such lengths?"

It was this sentence that made Hatsune Miku pause slightly.

"She is someone very important to me, someone I love, someone I never want to lose..."

So saying.

She responded with a mocking smile, seemingly oblivious to her own predicament.

"The descriptions above are completely insufficient to express the place that person holds in my heart."

"For me, he is everything."

For an instant.

Even the two demon gods seemed to feel that the girl in front of them carried a very strange, even somewhat dangerous aura.

This does not refer to a danger in terms of strength.

Rather, it is on a spiritual level.

--------------------------------

So, no matter what, Hatsune Miku finally led the two demons into the interior of the black hole.

It was exactly the same space I had come to back then.

"If we were to create a world here, what would happen to the original world?"

"Who knows? Even we demon gods don't know what the structure of this world is. Opening it up like this in the original world might allow some extraordinary things to break into our world."

But the empress who said these words simply didn't seem to care at all.

"Well, since the original world was already so boring, it wouldn't matter if it were destroyed, right?"

"Miss."

“I know, Nephtus… Honestly, at least I just checked, and there aren’t any dangerous life forms around here!”

No living organisms...?

Hatsune Miku blinked, and after recalling her memories from the previous timeline, she was immediately surprised.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

"nothing…"

There are no living organisms... How is that possible?

At that time, it was the countless creatures that emerged from this black hole that attacked the original world.

But why... can't I see anything now?
