How could Accelerator, who already knows the truth to this extent, possibly say such a thing?

Do you understand just how serious the situation is?

Even its eyes twitched slowly, showing no change in emotion from beginning to end. It stared wide-eyed at the first person.

"Everyone's life is a lie! Whether it's you or me! Even the fact that you and I can exist here is decided by others. Everything about us is a life arranged by others. No one can have a true self!"

"Do you even understand the importance of this matter? You are clearly the 'protagonist' of this world, and everything you have is fabricated!"

"Think about it carefully. If you could truly control your own life and make decisions from the beginning, would you really do something as absurd as randomly slaughtering over ten thousand clones to make yourself stronger? Impossible, right? That's because it's illogical from the start. You were being orchestrated by others and forced to do this!"

"so what."

"...?"

The moment it heard the word "Accelerator," it froze in place.

"So... what's the 'so'? Isn't this a very simple conclusion?"

It roared loudly, as if it were disappointed in someone for not living up to their potential.

"Of course, you should change this kind of life! Give me your identity, let me change the whole world for you, so that whether it's you or anyone else, everyone can start their own lives anew and make their own decisions—"

"Because you feel that all your efforts have been in vain, do you also feel that other people's lives and efforts are fake?"

This is a battle of words and concepts.

Faced with an existence that predates all other worldviews and possesses power surpassing everything, Accelerator easily interrupted it.

If you don't understand the other party's reasons for their actions at the beginning, you might feel scared.

But now, things are completely different.

Once the other party's motives are understood, the first person can then say they have completely seen through the person in front of them.

Even if it is the creator who is above all things.

"Perhaps, as you said, the whole world is fictional, and everything is a story arranged by someone."

He remembered what Takibayashi had said when they first met.

I and Hatsune Miku are nothing more than characters in a novel or programs in a music software; they never existed in the first place, and they are all just fictional lives.

"So what?"

Accelerator was completely unaware of this.

"Even if this process was really arranged by someone else, for me, this is reality."

“I will not run away from it, nor will I deny it. What I did is what I did, and I will carry this past with me and continue to live.”

"...Are you serious?"

The beings before us simply cannot comprehend the first person's thoughts.

"By doing this, you're essentially ruining everyone's future. Yes, you might not care much about it, but what about everyone else? Are they supposed to live lives pre-arranged by others? Are all the people in other worlds supposed to be puppets like you?!"

"It seems like you don't understand me at all."

"?!"

"From the very beginning, I never considered your pointless intentions."

Accelerator's tone seemed to have become somewhat bored, perhaps because he was disappointed with the so-called creator before him.

"All I care about is the present reality. Since I'm living in the present, I should face what's happening right now. Even if, as you say, everything is a fabrication, I will accept it since it has happened... I will accept my reality."

"Rather than saying that people who can't even accept their own reality or even try to deny it are the ones who are truly cowardly, aren't they?"

"...It's unbelievable."

It seemed very angry, and even its tone became gloomy.

"I've lived this long, I've considered all the possibilities, and I've seen all the people, and you actually chose this... the most idiotic option?"

"If that's the case, aren't you the same?"

Conversely, the first person then retaliated with what they had said.

"You've lived for so long, yet you can still say so many stupid things."

finally.

All possibilities were rejected.

Having realized that it was impossible to communicate with the human in front of him, the so-called creator, the being with the corrupted "evil eye," looked in his direction.

"Then I'll have to do it myself."

"…snort."

"I will kill you, then take away your identity as the 'protagonist,' and rewrite this hypocritical world!"

“Before you do that, I think you should realize something.”

The first person clapped his hands casually, a mocking smile creeping across his face.

"You've always wanted to avoid being controlled by others, but have you really succeeded?"

"After all, according to you, everything you're saying now, all these plans you've made, are just things that someone else arranged long ago, right?"

"Isn't that right? A cowardly scoundrel."

Boom——! ! !

An unparalleled laser beam swept past the person in first place.

The being before them opened its eyes wide, those eyes flashing a blood-red hue.

"I will kill you completely...!"

As a result, its entire body dissolved.

As the nameless being of all creators, it was completely transformed into a pure black, humanoid monster.

"Tsk...what a hassle."

Despite verbally bombarding the guy, Accelerator knew that with his current abilities, he was no match for the being before him.

A pitch-black figure hurtled straight toward him.

With all the weapons in the world proving useless, the only thing he could rely on was the ability he had always depended on.

Boom——! !

The first person raised their arm in front of them, taking the blow head-on.

However, the purple lightning, which was the power of an absolute ability user, was completely dissipated with just the first strike.

The dark figure slammed into Accelerator's body, causing the entire space to distort.

It is the embodiment of primordial water, which naturally means that it can accept the power of all matter.

Nothing in this world can withstand its onslaught.

boom! !

The primary reflection then loses its effectiveness.

He was swatted away like a leaf by the other party, but Accelerator did not stop because of this.

In an instant, the vectors of the surrounding space came directly under his control.

hum-

Countless vortexes unfolded around the black figure.

By manipulating space in reverse, he directly shortened the distance between the two parties.

The original distance of about fifty meters was reduced to zero in an instant under the control of the first person.

He clenched his five fingers, compressing the wind into plasma, and then further compressed the plasma and neutrons with high intensity.

It transformed into a dazzling fist that shimmered with the light of thunder.

"You think you can defeat me with something like this?"

However, the being in front of him didn't even glance at Accelerator's fist.

As the opponent's blow struck its chest, its body transformed into countless streams of black liquid.

It transforms from water into black sand.

These black sands transformed into spheres, instantly enveloping the first person's body within them.

Accelerator certainly wouldn't be trapped so easily.

However, when he observed the internal structure of the black sand, he immediately showed an unnatural expression.

"Tsk, it has no thickness and no mass, it's completely an anti-dimensional space?"

In other words, there is no such thing as dimension or dimension in this dark world.

We cannot find time and space, nor can we find any directions that actually exist.

Without the ability to control direction, Academy City's strongest superpower would be completely ineffective.

Even more remarkably, he could feel the reactions coming from various parts of his body.

It was as if the whole body was beginning to turn into black sand.

And what exists outside will then devour everything.

"Once I completely engulf you, I can completely replace you."

--boom! !

But before that, an overwhelming force erupted.

wing.

A wing devoid of any color, disregarding the barrier that defied space and time, tore apart the black sand barrier set up by the opponent with a single strike.

In the blink of an eye, the colorless wings were stained with pure black.

boom! !

Accelerator kicked open the now-ineffective Black Sand Prison and appeared directly in front of the enemy.

An invisible force was secretly supporting him as he slowly moved forward.

"…snort."

The black figure seemed to have sensed something.

With a pair of black wings unfurling from his back, Accelerator charged towards the enemy in one breath, only to grab at empty air.

I saw.

The chessboard where the two fought transformed directly into a starry sky shrouded in the infinite universe.

"Below this lies all worldviews, all the universes."

It was as if the two of them were walking in nothingness.

The black figure approached him straight ahead.

"A single misstep could lead to the destruction of the entire world. Be prepared."

Accelerator paused for a moment, then...

He arrived in front of the other person in one step.

The black figure narrowed its eyes slightly and retreated by light-years, but the first one seized the opportunity.

The two traversed nearly billions of unobservable universes in one go.

With massive black wings flapping behind him, Accelerator felt that these wings had gradually lost their single constraint.

It is no longer just a black wing that is a mere hundred meters or so long.

"I see... So, by taking the concept of killing intent to its extreme, you can achieve this effect? ​​But do you think that will allow you to defeat me?"

"You're mistaken."

Accelerator followed closely behind it.

“I never said that this was my limit.”
