Unable to bear the pain of his heart stopping, he was forced to cancel the use of his abilities, and then he had no chance to resist.

The Bishop of Greed, like everything around him, became one of the immobile things in the world.

"It's absolutely boring."

Accelerator has delivered his final assessment of this guy.

He sighed and casually placed his hand on Regulus's head.

"You don't even have a shred of backbone... Scum like you doesn't even have a reason to live."

"Go to hell."

then.

In that instant, time resumed its flow.

Boom——! ! !

A deafening, extraordinary sound reverberated throughout the city.

By the time Subaru and the others arrived, the matter was completely over.

As for that bishop of lust?

Not even a body was left behind.

All that remained was a pool of deep red wreckage.

Those were the unsightly things formed by the reverse flow of blood.

Chapter 858 A Different World Where the Future is Happiness

"Are you alright?...Huh? Is it...is it already over?!"

Subaru Natsuki, Emilia, and the rest of the group who followed closely behind.

They all stared in shock at the scene before them.

Regulus, the Bishop of Greed, has vanished without a trace; however, the pool of bright red blood on the ground is enough to tell the whole story.

Accelerator stood alone in the same spot.

He was completely unharmed, having suffered no attack from Regulus's side whatsoever, and not a single hair on his body was damaged.

"That's why I said I'd already said that."

Reinhard, on the contrary, wore a smile that seemed to take it all for granted.

"Although that Archbishop of Sin does possess extraordinary abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people, there will be no problem as long as it is handled by Totsukasa."

"I suppose even the most formidable enemy in the world would no longer be a match for him."

Thanks to his almost exaggerated gifts, Reinhard managed to get a clearer picture of Accelerator's current situation.

However, he still couldn't see the other party's actual level.

It's too far. Now, the height difference between him and Accelerator has transcended the concept of heaven and earth, and even the world itself is like that.

Even if it's Reinhard, plus the Witch of Jealousy who's currently nowhere to be found, or even the world's most powerful fighting force.

Perhaps it's impossible to survive even a nanosecond when the other party is fully focused and serious.

It was already an unattainable height, Reinhard thought, and to some extent, he was even glad that someone like Accelerator wasn't their enemy.

The first person probably saw through his thoughts, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

"Is Emilia alright?"

"Ah...yes, she's right here."

Subaru Natsuki nodded quickly and pulled Emilia, who was behind him, over.

After seeing that Emilia was safe and sound, Accelerator didn't care much anymore.

"So, the first boring errand is over."

"Eh?"

"The first thing... could it be that you have something else to do?"

Everyone was surprised, but the first person did not respond.

——Boom!

Just then, a loud noise came directly from behind them.

"What?! What happened?!"

Subaru Natsuki and Emilia both turned around in shock.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal."

Ignoring this, Accelerator slowly walked toward the source of the sound.

I saw.

Hatsune Miku, who had just flown down from the sky, slammed a certain figure directly onto the ground.

She stood to the side, while that figure... lay on the ground, which resembled a small meteorite crater.

"It's just to clean up the excess bugs."

"Alas…!!"

Upon seeing Accelerator approach, the being that had risen from the ground retreated slightly in fear.

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru had also clearly seen the other person's face.

That was a face he could never forget.

"Who are you?!"

She had a slender build and long, messy, dark brown hair.

And that sinister face, which now only showed expressions of terror.

"The gluttonous...baccurate archbishop!"

Once, it was this boy in front of her who stole Rem's memories and existence from this world.

Ray Badenkathos – the Bishop of Gluttony – originally intended to leave the Watergate City as soon as possible, but was caught by Hatsune Miku at the crucial moment.

In fact, that was exactly what One-Way Street required.

"I've said it before, if we're going to get rid of the pests, then we have to get rid of them completely."

"No...don't come any closer!!"

The Gluttonous Bishop Ray saw the first one slowly approaching him and retreated at an even faster pace.

But then he felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult.

"Guh—Ughhhhhh!!!"

"That's about enough."

The first person raised his right hand, and no one knew what kind of vector he was manipulating, but some invisible force pulled him up from the ground out of thin air.

The body of the Gluttony Bishop was slowly pulled closer by him.

"Kill me...and you will...suffer...an attack from...all the witch cultists..."

Who cares?

The first person smiled coldly, while Subaru Natsuki remained silent. In other words, no one seemed inclined to intervene.

"Emilia."

"Ah... what's wrong, Subaru?"

"Come over here."

Natsuki Subaru called out to the spirit girl beside him. She was still somewhat unaware of what was happening, but Natsuki Subaru quickly covered her eyes.

"Huh? Subaru, what are you doing? I... I can't see!"

No further explanation is needed.

Even without saying much, Accelerator understands exactly what to do.

"What...what do you intend to do to me? What do you intend to do to me, the Gluttony Bishop?!"

Even with an unknown force grabbing his neck and fear gripping him, this archbishop of sin remained defiant.

Of course, there's nothing he can do.

Accelerator was well aware that this guy was the culprit who caused Rem to lose her memories and existence in this world. In other words, if Accelerator hadn't intervened in time, Rem would still not have woken up from her endless slumber.

In terms of abilities, Ray's abilities are indeed quite unique.

The ability to steal someone's memories and erase their very existence from the world.

but.

Accelerator, however, simply wouldn't allow him to unleash that power.

"Humph."

The only sound that came from the first person's mouth was this.

Then, for some unknown reason, an indescribable sense of fear completely enveloped Ray's entire body.

Even the soul trembled at it.

"Wh...what?! You...are... planning...to...do...?!?!"

Something incomprehensible happened.

Under Lei's gaze, his hands and feet slowly moved closer to his body, tightening their grip towards his inner side.

That's it.

The humanoid body began to slowly and forcibly compress into something illogical.

"Gaaaaaaahh ...

His terrified screams rang out, but vanished just before reaching Emilia's ears.

Accelerator directly manipulated the vector of sound.

This prevented the elven girl, who still held beautiful illusions about the world, from witnessing such a disgusting scene again.

Lay couldn't even make a sound. This gluttonous archbishop was suffering unbearable pain as his body twisted inward, his limbs no longer recognizable.

It's as if some kind of brutal force was used to directly crush the human body into a ball shape.

But the actual results were far more complicated than that.

Accelerator pointed one hand at Ray, whose body writhed in agony, yet remained perpetually on the brink of death, unable to truly die.

This is not the end.

The constantly compressed body became increasingly exaggerated, slowly transforming into a flat, pancake-like surface, or even a dot.

Dimensional reduction.

Using purely physical means, Accelerator forcibly pulled Rae's body from three dimensions to two dimensions, and then pushed it into one dimension, or even a dimension lower than one dimension, and more unimaginable.

In a sense, this is an unprecedented and enormous breakthrough for human science.

Of course, Ray, living in that extremely low dimension, couldn't say anything more.

Because the pain that compresses the entire nerves and soul is unavoidable for eternity, under this painful compression, Ray, due to his own dimensional reduction, cannot even reach the end, and because his body was crushed into a ball, he was unable to move from the very beginning.

They will stay like this forever and never die.

Perhaps it won't be that destruction is forever impossible. If the theory of cosmic heat death is real, when the universe of this world is destroyed, and the resulting aftershocks destroy all dimensions, perhaps this Bishop of Gluttony will finally find release.

At least for now, he will never be able to escape this pain.

"Alright... Emilia, you're all right now."

"W-what, Subaru?! What did you guys just do?!"

"There's nothing there, you bastard."

Although Emilia asked them with great curiosity, Accelerator naturally offered no explanation.
