From now on, it probably won't concern me anymore.

"Okay... I can't change the script of the world."

As if resigned to its fate, it remained immersed in the primordial water.

It vanished along with it.

"But even if it were you, could you really change everything that belongs to you?"

"..."

Accelerator calmly watched it, without saying another word.

In the very end, all that the being before me said was this.

It was just such an ordinary sentence.

"In the end, no matter what you do, even if it is you, you will never escape the fate of being used as a pawn."

then.

Accelerator slowly stood up, and the last drop of water... disappeared before his eyes.

Thus, the final battle was over.

——Boom!!

At the same time, the pure white world around them began to collapse.

Along with it comes all the worlds associated with it, the "soul system," and all the related experiences.

The only thing that can change all of this.

Only one person can pass through at a time.

"bring it on."

He stood in pure white nothingness.

He uttered a sentence in a very casual manner.

"It's about time for the final cleanup, isn't it?"

———————————————————————————————————

As a result, the entire site began to collapse violently.

Boom——! !

A vast void vanished completely, and then the surrounding environment returned to its original state.

"What's wrong?"

Butterfly, Art, and the vampire girl all stared blankly at their surroundings.

"What happened? Why did the barrier break?"

"Oh dear? Could it be that we're running out of energy?"

"It's alright, just take care of these three good-for-nothings before that."

"That's right, that's right~"

They all seemed indifferent, probably thinking it was no big deal.

however.

The Demon God narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately understood something.

"...The 'Soul System' has disappeared."

"Eh?"

"...What, what did you say?"

Just as I said, the "Soul System" has disappeared, everyone here will disappear, and then...

He stated his conclusion casually.

"All our experiences up to this point will return to nothingness. Whatever our original fate and life were, we will return to our original life trajectory."

"The power given to us by the 'Soul System' and that being will also disappear."

pat.

It was like a bolt from the blue; the people present were instantly stunned.

Especially butterflies and art.

"...How could this be?"

"Wait a minute, you're saying our system is going to disappear? And all our power will disappear too? Ha, ha—how could that be!"

Yi laughed in disbelief, only to find that her hands were beginning to feel ethereal.

Because he shouldn't have been here in the first place.

Without the "Soul System," they would be unable to travel to different worlds, nor would they be able to realize the truth of the world and become soldiers under that being.

Of course, none of them could possess such power as they do now.

"Go back?"

Yi twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling an incredible tremor run down her spine.

That's a situation where they can't accept reality.

"You want me to go back to that world where I had nothing, and every day I had to endure apocalyptic destruction? You want me to have no power left, and return to an era of illness and death?! Are you kidding me?!"

"I...I can't even preserve my power?"

Butterfly stared at her hands in shock, then shook her head.

"No, no! Without power... we'll go back to that state tens of thousands of years ago, no... even longer ago! I don't want that to happen!!"

In comparison, the vampire girl and the god of the demon world seemed to care little.

"Well... although it's sad to lose some of my power, I'm a true progenitor of vampires, so there's not much difference compared to before, right?"

"Moreover, even with the power gained from traversing worlds, I can do this even without a 'Soul System.'"

"You...two...?"

Yi and Die looked at them incredulously, their expressions as if they had been abandoned.

The other three people who heard all of this reacted in different ways.

"Hey...did you hear what that guy said?"

Witte and Advisari knelt on the ground, both very weak.

However, there was no point in continuing the fight.

The two of them were originally users of the "Soul System," but thousands of years ago, or even earlier, they had developed the power of this system to its limit, reaching a level where they no longer needed to follow the instructions of the "Soul System."

But looking at it now...

"In that case, the two of us should..."

"...There's no way to continue like this."

They gave a wry smile, and then—

thump.

The other person, however, fell to the ground.

"Hey...Takibayashi!"

The two quickly helped him up and looked at him.

"...Oh no! This guy's injuries are extremely severe!"

"Because he was forced to consume his soul? Tsk, he was originally just a young man with little experience, unlike the two of us. If he continues like this..."

This scene seemed to be heard by both Die and Yi.

"...Oh, right."

Then, everyone learned something else.

"Although the 'Soul System' will disappear, and our experiences will also disappear, but well..."

"If we kill the person before that."

Those who are killed will likely not be resurrected along with the disappearance of the "soul system".

That makes sense, right?

boom! !

Butterfly and Art each raised their hands and smashed them directly towards Takibayashi and the others.

“Wu——?!”

The two of them looked up in shock.

Just kidding... They don't have any strength left in this state!

"What are you doing?"

boom--

In contrast, the other person completely blocked the opponent's attack.

God of the Demon Realm.

He easily thwarted Die and Yi's attack and then looked at them.

"Because they can no longer retain their own power, they must take advantage of the last moment to attack others?"

"...We were born into destruction and chaos from the very beginning."

Yi and Die's spirits seem to have become very unstable.

They sneered and unleashed the maximum power in their bodies—in the form of burning their souls.

Even the god of the demon realm had to confront it head-on.

"That's right! Since we can't obtain this power... we might as well make the most of it at the last moment!"

"Even if we go back, all we'll face is destruction and a miserable life... So let's make everything even more chaotic!"

Why should they be the only ones to suffer?

If killing these people now would bring them irreversible destruction, then they would be happy to do it.

At the same time, the power of Butterfly and Art both rose to their maximum levels.

"Hahahaha!!"

They laughed maniacally, burning their souls to the extreme, and launched indiscriminate attacks on everyone in front of them, ignoring everything else.

"Die, die, die, all of you, die!!!"

then.

It was as if to bring this farce to a close.

A beam of iridescent light calmed everything down.

“Wu——?!”

They all looked towards the center.

And those that appeared there.

Yes, a young man.

"...In the end, it actually turned out to be such an interesting and funny thing?"

A young man with black hair and black eyes.

He stood there indifferently, calmly looking at Die and Yi.

"Where did this scum come from... You want to die with them too?!"

The two men, as if possessed, launched a direct attack on the young man in the very center.
