The ground beneath them caved in, and cracks that stretched for hundreds of meters appeared.

The lawns and forests were instantly blown away, and even distant rivers and mountains were severely affected, with the middle layer of the landscape being cut off in one fell swoop.

That blow, powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers, powerful enough to crush all matter in the world.

…But those pure white wings caught it head-on.

"Calm down, young man."

Kakine Teitoku smiled calmly, tilting his head slightly.

"Sometimes, brute force alone cannot achieve the desired result."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Boom!! He swung his right fist at the second-place man's face again, but—

The hit Kakine Teitoku has now turned into something like grains of sand.

In an instant, it enveloped Izayoi Sakamaki's body.

"Well--?!"

"As I've already said, brute force alone won't work."

Even though Kakine Teitoku said that, Sakamaki Izayoi still shattered the white storm with a single punch.

however--

After the storm was shattered, the outside world was not the natural environment they had seen before.

Instead, it extends infinitely, like a prism-like white storm space.

That was a world that completely defied the conventional knowledge in Izayoi's mind.

"What I have nurtured is not a law that can be easily understood by your normal worldview."

Outside the space, Kakine Teitoku then raised a finger.

"This is no longer the world you know."

then.

For non-existent matter, apply the laws of non-existence.

Originally, the sphere, which was completely asymmetrical inside and out, instantly transformed into countless sharp needles, piercing into the interior in one go.

A violent explosion occurred the instant the needle pierced through.

"Ah—thank you for reminding me."

Boom! Then, Izayoi Sakamaki's body was pulled out again.

Apart from being a little covered in dust, he was almost unharmed.

"Since this isn't the world I know, and these aren't the laws I'm familiar with—then let me use my fists to reason with them!!"

Then, Izayoi Sakamaki threw a punch at the second-ranked player, who then solemnly gathered his strength and charged forward like a drill.

"Wow... Both sides are playing so well."

Standing not far away is Hatsune Miku, who is in charge of refereeing this battle.

"…Huh?"

But at that moment she froze.

Because, in the distance, another beam of light was approaching.

"what is that?"

If you look closely, you can see what the light and shadow actually is.

—A human with white hair and red eyes.

He, with the same world-class speed, instantly intervened in the clash between the two.

boom--! ! ! !

An unparalleled sound echoed throughout the vicinity of the boundary wall region.

Chapter 800 The Bizarre Reality of Overlapping Truths

"Gu——!"

"What…?"

Kakine Teitoku and Sakamaki Izayoi were forced to stop their actions at almost the same moment.

The cause of this situation was the figure that suddenly appeared between the two.

The strongest ability user with white hair and red eyes.

He did not choose to evade; with just his two hands, he easily blocked the two men's attacks.

His left hand blocked Izayoi Sakamaki's fist, but it wasn't a deflection that blocked it.

Perhaps even Accelerator himself knew that simple reflection was ineffective against Izayoi's ability to shatter all gifts, so he instead used the symbol of an Absolute Power user—purple-black lightning—as a barrier, directly negating Izayoi's power and the effect of shattering a gift.

As for Kakine Teitoku, he decisively used a reflection to block the opponent's ability.

Not only was the opponent's fist blocked by his own hand, but even the excess undifferentiated matter was blocked in the same way. After touching the barrier called reflection, it instantly twisted in all directions and, based on Accelerator's consciousness, locked onto the second person's entire body.

"Tsk... Is it really necessary to target me like this?"

Only Kakine Teitoku was being controlled by his own abilities, which was like having someone hold a knife to his throat.

He twitched his lips slightly in displeasure, but still stopped what he was doing with Izayoi Sakamaki.

The second one stumbled backward, while Izayoi Sakamaki used the reaction force to leap back to the distant mountaintop.

"What's going on? I finally got a battle that could get me excited, and I was just getting into the swing of things when you ruined my fun!"

"...So what you mean by 'good deeds' is to recklessly smash this whole area into a godforsaken mess?"

Looking around, the surrounding environment was truly appalling.

Not to mention that the impact between the two had created a huge crater on the ground, with a radius of ten kilometers—within such a large area, almost everything was blown away, and the ground and rivers looked as if an asteroid had hit the ground.

The charred image was thus starkly displayed across the surface of the miniature garden map.

If Accelerator hadn't used his ability to manipulate energy direction to limit the aftershocks of their battle before arriving, even the northern urban areas far from the Boundary Wall might have suffered.

"I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do than mess around with this kid?"

"You can't say that. Do you think I'm just sitting around doing nothing? Do you really think I'll just watch the destruction spread indefinitely?"

Accelerator looked at Kakine Teitoku with a complaining gaze, but the second-ranked esper simply waved his hand.

"It was agreed beforehand that the request to fight was made by this kid."

"So what? Is that your excuse for acting recklessly without considering the consequences?"

"Ugh, this is so annoying! When did you become such a chatterbox? Have you forgotten how much destruction you used to cause with a single wave of your hand when you got into a fight?"

However, now that things have come to this point, Accelerator has basically confirmed what the situation is.

Given Izayoi Sakamaki's personality, he must be the kind of man who is always thinking about becoming stronger.

So, taking advantage of the great opportunity when everyone was attending the festival, he directly challenged Kakine Teitoku, a top-tier powerhouse comparable to Accelerator, to a duel.

Since arriving at this miniature garden, Izayoi Sakamaki's horizons have been completely broadened.

In the original world, there was no one who could defeat him, but here, he first encountered Accelerator, who possessed even greater power, and then he encountered all sorts of communities, as well as those powerful beings who were given the title of Demon Lord.

Even so, all of this was still not enough to satisfy his desires.

Izayoi's desire to fight is not just because he wants to prove his strength, nor is it simply due to a competitive spirit.

In reality, he was also seeking the exhilarating feeling of dueling with strong opponents... to put it bluntly, he had a bit of a battle maniac mentality.

"Hmph! This isn't over yet, don't think I'll give up."

Izayoi, of course, was not satisfied with this outcome.

He patted the dust off his clothes and rubbed his five fingers together, making a cracking sound.

"The referee hasn't announced the result yet, so this fight isn't over yet!"

…referee?

Upon hearing this word, Accelerator turned around and looked behind him.

Then you see another person standing there.

"Well, that..."

Hatsune Miku, dressed in a winter coat, stood there with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I was actually... forcibly dragged here, because those two absolutely had to have a contest, and then Izayoi-kun said that someone had to be there to judge the outcome objectively..."

"Don't you guys know how to do the 'gift game' thing?"

"That won't do. There was a time when I had a speed contest with Black Rabbit, and we ended up with a draw?! Are you kidding me!"

It seems that regardless of what these two guys say, they really will keep fighting until a winner is decided.

Of course, Kakine Teitoku is very strong. As a Level 5 Holistic Ability User, who can easily rewrite the universe, defeating the current Izayoi Sakamaki shouldn't be too difficult if he gets serious.

But if that happens, the city of the North District... no, the entire North District might disappear overnight.

Even—the entire miniature garden land that prides itself on being the size of a star-shaped surface.

"Stop spouting useless nonsense."

Accelerator curled his lip and directly stopped Izayoi Sakamaki's actions.

"Huh? What, you want to stop me? I'm already in the middle of it all, how could I possibly stop now!"

"If you have any objections, let's leave them for later."

Seeing this, he added another sentence.

"Instead, when I have time, I'll fight you for this guy."

"Whoa! With you?!"

That simple sentence instantly ignited Izayoi Sakamaki's interest.

"That's really exciting news! I'm getting excited!"

Izayoi clenched his fists. Just that one sentence made his face turn completely red, not from shyness, but from being full of energy.

Despite his formidable strength, this kid's mentality is surprisingly easy to understand.

"Hmm... It's really great that this competition can be stopped. I thought from the beginning that such large-scale destruction would only cause more harm."

"What's the point of saying this after the event..."

After making a sarcastic remark about Hatsune Miku's words, Accelerator then twisted his neck.

"Alright, since we're not competing anymore, it's about time we left."

"Yes, Miss Black Rabbit and the others invited me to join them for the banquet... Um! I'm off now, Accelerator!"

Izayoi Sakamaki and Hatsune Miku each left in different ways toward the northern city, and Accelerator did not try to stop them.

Rather, he also planned to return to the other side of the city.

Since there's nothing to do anyway, I might as well take a good rest for a while.

Finding enough strong individuals in this kind of world should be a very simple matter... no need to worry too much.

"How boring. I'll just go back and grab a couple of coffees..."

The first person looked bored and decided to leave.

Just now.

A sensation came from its back.

"what?"

Turning his head, he saw Kakine Teitoku reaching out to touch him.

He used holism to create a completely new layer of ability, and after touching Accelerator's shoulder, that layer of matter was directly and thoroughly analyzed by his subconscious calculations.

But that's not the point.
