"Thank you, Yifang."

Reinhard, who was standing to the side, looked directly at him with a kind expression.

"Without your help, it would be very difficult for Subaru and me to deal with that Bishop of Greed on our own."

"No, you are absolutely superior to him in terms of strength. You will win no matter what, it's just a matter of time."

While Accelerator is indeed stronger than Reinhard in many aspects, however—

Someone like him, who can receive any gift he desires in this world if he wants it, probably could never naturally acquire such a physique in his entire life.

He truly deserves to be called a man who was once on par with Accelerator. If he were brought into his original world of magic and science, even the Water of the Rear would be no match for him.

It's quite possible that Reinhard possessed power on par with the Right Flame at the time, and could have defeated the legendary angel single-handedly.

"Thank you so much, Accelerator! Not only did you rescue Emilia, but you also rescued Rem!"

Subaru Natsuki looks really happy.

After all, Rem and Emilia are very important people to him, and being able to bring them back to safety must be the happiest thing for him.

But.

"Don't think that's the end of it."

“…Huh?”

Suddenly, a sentence popped out of Accelerator's mouth.

Subaru and the others were all somewhat confused.

"It's nothing, I wasn't saying this to you guys."

"That, that refers to...?"

Natsuki Subaru seemed to want some answer, but Accelerator didn't say anything.

She merely pursed her lips.

"I'm just saying that some other bastards in this world... haven't been dealt with yet."

——————————————————————————————————————

So everything was arranged.

After that, Accelerator and Hatsune Miku went back to the royal city with them and visited people such as Crusch and Wilhelm.

The kingdom elections are still ongoing, and of course, half-elves like Emilia probably still don't have the faith of the ministers in the kingdom.

However, it seems that once Accelerator entered the city, the ministers all changed their ways.

Some people who had originally planned to do dangerous things to Emilia in secret even volunteered to confess everything. Most of the nobles apologized to Emilia by giving her gifts, and countless ministers even humbly greeted her when she entered the imperial city.

Let me make it clear beforehand, Accelerator really didn't do anything.

These guys... they really just did these things on their own after they saw him come back, that's all.

"Hmm... I'm really happy."

Hatsune Miku stood behind the person in first place, and they were standing on a deserted hill.

After helping Subaru and the others resolve a series of issues, the progress of the Kingdom Election gradually became more intense.

However, Emilia should still have a good chance of competing fairly with those people.

Accelerator didn't do anything extraordinary; he simply helped the girl regain her self-esteem.

Even half-elves have the same right to compete fairly as other participants.

The first person merely helped her regain that qualification.

How things will develop from here depends on the girl's own efforts.

then…

The massive organization known as the "Witch Cult" completely collapsed overnight.

No one knew who did this, but the next morning, countless stolen goods belonging to the Witch Cult were dumped at the gates of the royal city, and countless Witch Cult members were brutally murdered, their corpses piling up into a mountain.

The whereabouts of all the remaining high-ranking bishops are unknown.

Some speculate that they have died somewhere unknown, while others guess that these archbishops of sin fled after witnessing the annihilation of the "Witch Cult" overnight.

In any case, the world's largest witch organization has completely disappeared from this place.

Reinhard seemed to know something, but the more people asked him, the less they ever got an answer from him.

"As for that person, he said that it's best if no one knows about him except me."

People were confused by his words, but the nobles in the royal family seemed to have the answer in their hearts, and afterwards they became even more flattering to Emilia.

That's pretty much the direction it's heading.

Afterwards, I had a nice meal with Subaru and the others. Roswaal also returned to the mansion. After having a good chat with Accelerator, he seemed to have changed a lot. Rem and Ram continued to take care of everyone wholeheartedly, and Beatrice was the same as before, although she was still a bit tired of taking advantage of Accelerator.

"I've been here for quite a while now..."

Thinking back on everything she has done in this world so far, Hatsune Miku couldn't help but smile with joy.

"So there's not much left to do... there's not much left to do."

"Ah, that's right."

The first one looked up and gazed at the distant sky.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"...That's about right, it's time to end this."

The two disappeared together into the tunnel between worlds, leaving this place forever.

All that remains is a beautiful, otherworldly place where everything starts from scratch, but the future is absolutely destined for happiness.

Chapter 859 Returning to Academy City

After that, he solved many complex problems in the world.

Just like in that world where countless spirits were scattered, when Accelerator returned there, most of the spirits had their spiritual power sealed by Itsuka Shido. Only Yoshino remained as she was when Accelerator helped her.

The first one, relying on his newfound power, altered the very nature of the world, restoring the elven maidens to their original human forms.

Although this action later drew the ire of a girl named "Mio," who used her powerful abilities to interfere with the First's actions, she was unable to influence the First in the slightest.

After gaining a thorough understanding of everyone and all the tragedies, Accelerator used his power to rewrite the bloodline of Mana Takamiya without authorization, as well as the fate of Shido Itsuka and the girl named Mio.

He deliberately steered everything back to the warm and cozy world.

Then, the man named Westcott paid the ultimate price for this, forever.

Under the first sanctions, DEM was completely acquired by Ratatosk, and Westcott, along with Ellen and the world's second strongest magician, all went missing.

As for what kind of ending they all got?

Perhaps only one person, Accelerator, truly understands this.

After that, I visited countless worlds, such as the world that was previously filled with Honkai energy, the world after the great war surrounding the Star Grail, and the world that consisted of Masters and Servants.

The first person met with people he used to know, and in doing so, resolved all the tragedies and problems that people had been unable to solve.

Even the world of that miniature garden, its various internal structures, were completely rewritten under his power.

There is almost no world that Accelerator cannot change.

However, he was very clear about one thing.

Even if one possesses the truly absolute "strongest" power, some things will remain fundamentally unchanged unless one does them personally.

Even if he stood at the very center of countless worlds and used his absolute power to instantly spread to all worlds, changing everything in an instant, he still could not change something fundamental.

It is pointless to rely on such a shortcut.

Some things can only be changed by oneself.

"..."

Come back to your senses.

He had already appeared directly in a vast, boundless forest.

Accelerator opened his eyes and felt a fresh, natural scent in the air that was not present in a typical modern environment, as well as a faint sense of unusual elements in the breeze.

This is a world he once visited.

Moreover, it wasn't a world he arrived in with Hatsune Miku; it was a world he arrived in alone due to some unexpected circumstances.

This is an ideal place that no one has ever reached.

Like a paradise, this is a world that only exists in fantasy.

Just like its name suggests.

He stared at the wooden sign by the roadside, which bore the name of the area ahead.

Fantasy town.

"...So you're back here again."

Gazing at this fantastical land far removed from the world, Accelerator didn't say much.

He walked calmly through the forest, and even the spores that could put countless humans to sleep or cause disease had no effect on him.

I haven't been in this field for very long.

Then, the first one stopped in his tracks.

"Do you really enjoy following behind others?"

"oops…"

A slightly flirtatious voice slowly came from behind him.

Accelerator turned his head slightly and saw the figure that looked like a phantom.

Yakumo Yukari.

The youkai sage of Gensokyo sat before a spatial rift as tall as a person. Behind the rift was a dark domain that watched like an eye, and she sat quietly at one end of the rift.

According to her, this thing should be called a gap.

"Your keen insight is frighteningly accurate; you're truly amazing."

"You should know very well that I don't want to hear gossip."

"How rude of you, esteemed guest! I wonder what wind has blown such a distinguished person as you back to our Gensokyo?"

Hearing those seemingly mocking words, Accelerator didn't even raise an eyebrow.

“Your Gensokyo also has big problems.”

"uh-huh."

"That thing called a barrier, although I modified some of its contents, my abilities at the time were not enough to perfectly improve its condition."

"So what? You didn't really come back to Gensokyo just to help us improve the Great Barrier, did you?"

The first one did not speak.

Yukari Yakumo was slightly surprised, but upon further reflection, she felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

"That certainly sounds like something you would do, but I have a question..."

"how."

Why are you so concerned about Gensokyo?

Yukari Yakumo tilted her head slightly.

"Your strength is far beyond what we can comprehend. When I saw that being back then, I was already certain that you were already far beyond the level of this world, and now you are an existence that is far beyond our reach."

"With such immense power, why would you care about a mere little Gensokyo?"

Yukari Yakumo could no longer see through everything about the being before her.

Both in terms of power and mental state, Accelerator has reached a point where he is almost unbearable to behold.

So what if she's the strongest youkai sage in Gensokyo? Even if you threw the strongest supreme god in Gensokyo—the Dragon God—here, he probably wouldn't be much better off than her.

"I don't have any particular thoughts."
