Things that were forcibly turned into stone statues suddenly began to transform into another substance at an overwhelming speed.

"What…?"

It was a strange substance that absolutely did not exist in the world.

Its color is pure white, and its properties are unknown.

At a speed far exceeding that of petrification, the pure white substance spread outwards, instantly covering the entire world.

Bang——! !

With a crisp cracking sound, the petrification and the pure white substance were all instantly obliterated.

"What's wrong."

Below, pure white fragments of matter fell from the sky like snowflakes.

Standing in place was a young man with brown hair and white wings growing from his back.

He looked at Luos with a smile.

"Could it be that someone at this level is qualified to be called a Demon King?"

boom--!

Lous, who was locked in a stalemate with Izayoi Sakamaki, was sent flying by the hammer due to his momentary daze. His body spun in the air like a top.

He forcibly pulled his body back.

And so, it was forcibly frozen in mid-air.

"What...what exactly happened?"

"Hey, rich kid, I'm telling you... you don't seem to realize what's really going on, do you?"

Luos stared wide-eyed at the three people in front of him in disbelief.

Returning to the 16th night, Emperor Yuangen was in charge.

And Accelerator, who hasn't made a single move from the beginning until now.

"You don't really think there's only one capable and powerful person in this 'NoName', do you?"

Click.

Whether it was pride or something else, such thoughts did indeed arise in Luo's mind.

He couldn't imagine it.

It's astonishing that a community without even a flag or a name could suddenly have so many powerful beings appear in such a short time.

And, most importantly—

The person who inflicts the greatest pressure and psychological trauma on you.

He hasn't even made a move from the beginning until now!

How could such an absurd thing happen?!

"So, are you going to make a move or not?"

Kakine Teitoku, on the other hand, completely ignored Luos.

He turned to look at Accelerator behind him and asked, somewhat boredly.

"This guy is almost losing confidence to continue fighting. If you don't make a move soon, I can kill this piece of trash in a single move."

"That's right, and it seems that even the Demon King and the like are not attractive at all."

All of this left not only Luos in disbelief, but even Ren, who was watching from the back, staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

He did know that the new member of 'NoName' was very strong.

But I never expected it to be this powerful.

"...That's enough."

Luos took a deep breath and held nothing back.

He was already very clear about the current situation; in other words, no one knew better than him just how big the gap was between himself and these people.

"Arger, I grant you permission to demonize the palace! Kill all these bastards at all costs!!"

This immature community leader finally realized what the consequences of his defeat would be.

This is absolutely no child's play.

Once defeated, everything about 'Perseus' will vanish.

I must fight with all my might... I absolutely must!

"RaAAaaa! LaAAAA!"

A voice like singing echoed through the palace—the scream of Arger. Its eyes widened, and incredible beams of destruction shot out from its crimson pupils in all directions.

Even Luos himself had never witnessed such a sight.

In other words, the entire palace was thus demonized.

then.

Thousands upon thousands of venomous snakes emerged from behind Arger.

boom----

A beam of light, powerful enough to turn everything into stone, shot out in a straight line, and along with this attack, countless venomous snakes surged forward.

This is a true strike of Protoss caliber.

Compared to this attack, everything before seemed like child's play, appearing far too weak and pathetic.

"Oh no...oh no!"

Even Ren could hardly discern just how immense the power of this attack was.

"If we were to get hit by that blow, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable!!"

"Yes, it certainly seems so."

"That was quite a frightening encounter."

That's what you say, but I can't see even the slightest bit of fear on your faces!

Ren stared in horror at the oncoming attack.

Although he knew very well that the people around him were very strong, this was the strongest attack from a Celestial Spirit-level Demon King.

If we fail to stop it—

"That's absolutely right. If this level of force were to hit you directly, it certainly wouldn't be taken lightly."

then.

Accelerator took a slow step forward.

Light is like that.

The purplish-black lightning instantly blocked everything out.

—Zigga!!

Bang!! Then, a massive purplish-black lightning bolt blocked the light that was powerful enough to petrify everything.

boom--

Dark red light gathered on the hands and feet of the first person.

It is a weapon called "Apollo" that can freely transform.

It instantly switched to a stance of boxing gloves and foot guards, as Accelerator adopted a posture with his right fist slightly downward, gathering power.

The dark red light then converged at an overwhelming speed to a single point.

then.

—Like a rising dragon, with an aura powerful enough to shake the very foundations of the opponent's ancestral home.

A crimson fist, formed from the convergence of immense vectors, slammed head-on into the Demon King's petrifying ray.

It doesn't even need reflection.

Such a simple and clear punch instantly sent him flying back the way he came.

Immediately afterwards—

The Demon King Argel took the direct hit of the attack that it had unleashed.

——————————————————————————————————

The immense aftershocks caused the entire palace to be completely destroyed.

Like ruins, the pure white palace was reduced to countless fragments scattered on the ground, while the direct target of the attack—

That is, the Demon King Argel himself.

Its body had turned into countless fragments of stone, which dissipated into the air like dust.

"…ah?"

Luos stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

He stared intently at the dust scattered on the ground, the dust that once belonged to Alger, as if everything had truly vanished into thin air—as if the existence known as the Demon King would never return.

In fact, Rouss had long known that he had no chance of winning against his opponent.

However, in his plan, no matter what, he should be able to hold on for a while, or at least make the other side realize the powerful strength of 'Perseus'.

But now, what does this scene mean?

He thought the situation could at least hold out for a while—but it came to an end in less than a moment.

The strongest Celestial Spirit in the Little Garden, the Demon Lord named Argol—

It's in the other party's hands.

They couldn't even withstand a single blow?!

"Oh dear... what a mess."

Compared to Luos's appalling state, the people on 'NoName's' side were completely different.

wow-

The first to emerge from the ruins was Izayoi Sakamaki.

His school uniform was covered in dust.

"Oh dear, I really don't know what to say, it's been ruined like this?"

Realizing he was covered in dust, Izayoi Sakamaki shook his clothes with considerable displeasure.

"Speaking of which, how many times have I gotten myself dirty already... Hey, where are the others?"

"Here you are, you rude Izayoi-kun."

"So why are you all hiding under that guy's wings, but I'm the only one who isn't?"

In reality, everyone except Izayoi Sakamaki was protected by Kakine Teitoku's wings and was not attacked by the falling rubble from the palace.

So, given the current situation, it's pretty self-evident who won and who lost, isn't it?

Luos could see it at a glance.

and so.

"Well then, Mr. Rich Second Generation."

With a cold smile, Izayoi approached Luos, who was kneeling on the ground, unable to get up.

"You should also know what kind of fate awaits your community after it suffers this result, right?"

Lost.

Such a result is a result belonging to 'Perseus'.

Even after giving it your all, you only realize the importance of everything at the end—

It's all meaningless now.
