Your Highness continued.

"A person who can arbitrarily alter the laws of this miniature world... This is truly the first time in my life I've ever seen one."

"Boring. So that means that even after living this long, you guys have never seen a truly formidable expert?"

"That's not quite right. No one says you have to change the rules of the miniature world to be considered strong."

After saying this, His Highness's expression... seemed to become somewhat helpless.

"And judging a person's insight by how long they live... that's really nothing to me. But what I'm not going to do today is get entangled with you here."

With Pest lying on the side and Bell able to teleport at any time, the conclusion is self-evident.

They intend to reclaim Pest.

As for why such a demon king was to be retrieved, what kind of relationship these people had with Pest, and how many people were behind the scenes, Accelerator didn't bother to think about these questions.

It's all the same old reasons, the same things that all the villains do.

"You made a mistake."

Even after learning the whole story, the first person remained unmoved and continued speaking.

"The moment you realized that the opponent's strength was far beyond what third-rate characters like you could handle, you should have tucked your tails between your legs and run away. The fact that you're still standing here, thinking about getting some verbal sparring, only proves that you guys really don't have any decent ideas."

"Oh dear, you can't say that, Accelerator."

His Highness waved his hand casually.

“We also have our reasons for continuing. You did manage to crack Rin’s ability, but that was only the first time. If you give her a second chance, she will never fail.”

"That's it."

So the first person continued to respond in a flat, monotone tone.

"Then let's see how long you rabble can keep laughing."

...?

In an instant, a bad premonition arose in His Highness's heart.

then.

From the moment the three of them appeared, a deep blue circular force field spread out and covered their entire bodies.

"Varied--?!"

Both Ling and His Highness stopped moving abruptly.

Only one voice echoed in the air.

"Absolute Zero".

——Bang! ! !

Then, the result was almost like an ice age descending upon animals without warning.

Although consciousness is still capable of thinking.

However, neither His Highness nor Rin can move freely anymore.

"What...is this?!"

No matter how much power one has, no matter what abilities one possesses.

The two remained rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch.

Unbeknownst to them, the Doomsday Destroyer's six generators had already switched to "pseudo-generator" mode.

Not only that.

The person in first place then leaped forward into the air.

Swah——

In his hand, the infernal scythe named Nathos appeared directly.

He grasped the handle of the scythe and rearranged the weapon named Apollo.

The dark red gun disintegrated.

It transformed into countless reconstructed mecha metal blocks, which instantly adhered to the silver-red scythe through an adhesive process.

The sickle, already quite imposing, is evident both at the handle and at its very tip.

Everything was covered in dark red armor.

The karmic fire, as scorching as hell, instantly intensified to a level that even the flames of the sun could not match.

puff--! !

From the rear of the scythe, the armor deformed, like a fighter jet's jet thruster, instantly spraying a large amount of scorching steam into the air.

The speed and temperature of the steam alone instantly caused its temperature to soar to tens of thousands of degrees.

'madness…'

Faced with such a powerful force gathering, the prince, unable to move, felt a sense of contempt.

He possesses the gift of being able to completely ignore all weapons.

'Even the most powerful weapon can't hurt me. You think indirect damage will work on me? Ha, how naive.'

Moreover, he had realized that the force that could hold his body in place was limited, lasting at most only three seconds.

Three seconds was enough time for Ling to regain control of the space and dodge, and there was no need for him to care about the so-called attack. No matter how powerful the weapon was, it was still just a weapon.

In terms of victory or defeat, it is still a victory for ourselves.

however.

If Your Highness can think of something, surely Accelerator can too?

He continued to do so.

boom----! ! ! !

The scorching flames and sharp scythes instantly transformed into a hellish inferno, tearing the earth apart.

However—it didn't attack His Highness or Rin at all.

"what?"

"Eh--?!"

The two were immediately shocked.

That blow—instantly pierced through Pest's body.

The five-figure demon king stared wide-eyed, seemingly wanting to say something, but the first-ranked one didn't give her that chance at all.

The monster's annihilating blow was merciless.

Along with the beautiful demon girl's soul and body, everything was crushed into endless fragments by the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Boom! Then, a violent explosion was heard.

This is not just a sonic boom.

The strike that followed the scythe hitting the ground was so powerful that it easily broke through even the heat barrier.

"Ugh—whoa!!"

Bell and His Highness were finally able to move, but they were both blown away by the immense force.

Fortunately, His Highness managed to regain control of his physical condition in time and quickly restrained Ling's body.

But nevertheless.

"You...you bastard."

"What's wrong."

The flames dispersed with the wind.

However, the person standing on the scorched black ground, holding a sickle, slowly turned his head.

"Didn't you think I was naive? Why is everyone so quiet now?"

—?!

"You...you can read my mind?!"

Even His Highness was astonished.

After observing for this period of time, he had already anticipated what the other party was capable of doing, including but not limited to things like being able to ignore the spatial abilities of the falling bell.

…but he never expected it.

He can even know what's on my mind.

"Your Highness...?"

This must be the first time Rin has ever seen such an expression on His Highness's face.

—That kind of slightly bewildered expression, not particularly panicked, but clearly indicating that their plans had been disrupted.

"Ring... This is really troublesome."

"Does it refer to...the fact that little Pest was killed?"

"Not only that, hmm... this guy is even more troublesome than I thought."

Or rather, it's gone beyond just being difficult to deal with.

Before things got any worse, His Highness felt that it was about time to end the probing.

Just before that.

"Haha! Let me get involved at least a little!!"

boom--! !

At that instant, someone else approached.

Chapter 797 The Appearance of Same-Rank Abilities...?

Despite His Highness's timely reaction, the opponent was still a step ahead and closed in.

And the figure that was attacking him head-on.

He was a blond-haired boy wearing headphones.

In this critical moment, His Highness quickly leaped into the air and responded with a flying kick.

But this only made the other party more excited.

With a confident smile, he clenched his five fingers, channeling all his strength into his right fist.

"Try this!"

The sonic boom exploded outwards as a shockwave.

At the point where His Highness's attacks intersected with the enemy's, a scene resembling the flashes of some kind of explosive sparks appeared. The sonic boom alone caused the ground, which had been burned black, to be instantly blown away.

However, the prince, who was facing the attack head-on, felt a thick, dull pain coming from the inside of his palm.

In the brief moment of stalemate, he quickly broke free from the other man's fist.

"Interesting. You actually managed to catch my punch? You're definitely tougher than that guy named Weser!"

Izayoi Sakamaki.

The boy who had previously broken away from 'NoName' and acted alone has now finally revealed his purpose.

"Your Highness...!"

Upon seeing who it was, Ling's expression immediately turned to one of astonishment.

At that moment, Ling hurriedly rushed towards His Highness's direction—naturally, by teleporting.

But at this time.

The world that appeared before Yu Ling's eyes changed in an instant.

"Eh--?!"

Her eyes widened as if she had witnessed an unbelievable scene, blinking in shock.
