On that witch's night, if she went all out, she could easily wipe out all of humanity's civilization on Earth and then drag the planet back to a primitive society.

"so what?"

The monster said coldly.

"You don't actually think that I'll give up on making a choice because of some so-called difficulty, do you?"

"...It's really incomprehensible."

Cupid shook his head.

"What exactly is your motive? I can understand what Homura Akemi is saying, but you don't seem like the kind of hero who would fight for innocent people."

"I'm not a hero."

"Then why did you do that?"

"Ha, is that even a question?"

The first monster spoke in the simplest of tones.

"I will tear apart all the darkness."

"No darkness can escape my grasp. I will crush all darkness. I will not allow anyone to experience the same thing as this bastard monster as me."

"So, a brat like her shouldn't have stayed in this absurd darkness in the first place. I'll pull her out, and I'll pull out everyone I think shouldn't be involved in this darkness, one by one."

Homura Akemi stared wide-eyed at her pair of purple eyes.

In reality, two people may never meet in their lifetime.

Their relationship ended there; calling it a collaboration would be a stretch, and they would have no further connection after that.

But that's not a good reason to leave her to die.

Accelerator knew this.

"listen."

It's unclear who he was addressing, but he shouted it out in the most serious tone.

“There is indeed unimaginable darkness in this city, and there are indeed unimaginable tragedies, and you, me, and Cupid are all incarnations of this darkness.”

"We're all just a bunch of hopeless bastards."

But ah.

"—That has nothing to do with these kids, right?!"

He made his declaration.

"Indeed, we are all bastards, villains, monsters who have created countless tragedies and bloodshed with our own hands, but that doesn't mean I should let these tragedies continue to spread, nor does it mean I should turn a blind eye to the effects of this darkness on these little devils!"

It is precisely because he is someone who is in the darkness that he is able to say such things.

"No matter how much of a bastard we are, that has nothing to do with these idiots who were forced into this darkness! These guys shouldn't even be in this darkness!"

and so.

"In that case, let me pull them out of this 'darkness,' out of this despair."

Determined to be evil, to be the pinnacle of darkness, his purpose was to prevent the people of the world of light from being dragged into darkness.

This is salvation.

He knew how inappropriate all of this and his actions were. He was clearly a demon who had killed more than 10,000 people, yet he dared to say such stupid things.

But that will never be the case.

No matter how much scum I am, I shouldn't let these innocent fools be dragged into this darkness!

Magical girls are destined for despair.

Then let him, as the pinnacle of darkness, pure evil, utterly annihilate this so-called despair.

"you."

Cupid spoke.

"Who are you, anyway?"

Reigning supreme at the pinnacle of darkness, someone belonging to the monster spoke.

"They are an evil party."

"A bastard, a piece of shit multiplied by three levels of evil party."

A storm arose.

The white Cupid was mercilessly blown away.

"If you've truly reached the brink of despair, then let me pull you out of the abyss."

"From now on, you are not allowed to be involved in this beastly darkness and despair again."

what…

At this moment, the girl finally understood something.

That was a declaration of salvation.

She, who has been saving Madoka Kaname all along, is now...

Is there anyone willing to save me...?

"It's impossible...!"

The girl spoke, trembling and on the verge of tears.

"It's too late... I can't be saved anymore!"

"is it?"

He turned around.

They were facing a monster powerful enough to destroy the world's civilization.

"Then let's do this."

Witch Night.

The white-haired, red-eyed monster standing opposite it laughed.

"—Next, I'll show you how to save someone in the most un-saving way possible, with a river of blood flowing as a result."

Witch Night laughed.

A monster representing despair, and a monster representing darkness.

"Excuse me."

The scientific monster, with its arms raised, spoke.

"This is Accelerator—!!"

Two upright and righteous monsters have officially begun their conflict.

Chapter 128 The Night of the Battle Against the Witch

And so it is.

With the final ultimatum, the conflict between the two entities erupted.

Boom! A loud explosion rang out in an instant.

Going upwards from directly below is the side that directly clashes with the pure white shadow.

The manipulation vector was converted into impact force, and Accelerator's body slammed into it like a cannonball.

The conflict then ensued.

And the result is obvious.

Witch Night, struck by Accelerator, collapsed in one breath in the other direction.

Click, click, click—!

The massive skyscraper was instantly torn apart by the overwhelming impact.

After Witch Night directly took the brunt of this attack, which was of unparalleled quality, the entire city of Mitakihara was also affected.

He is indeed a superhuman capable of manipulating all directions of energy.

However, the feeling just now was a little different.

"That thing doesn't have the structure of a normal living organism."

Under normal circumstances, once one of the two players touches the other, the whole thing is over.

He can instantly reverse the life force of any living being with a blood circulation and nervous system; in other words, death upon contact.

However, that power could not be applied to Witch's Night.

It's not that his abilities have failed, but rather that these things don't exist in Witch Night.

It has no blood, no bioelectricity, and not even nerves.

That means Accelerator can only rely on sheer destructive power to deal with this battle.

"Hehehe—heheha ...

It's still laughing.

As the laughter continued, an increasingly absurd situation unfolded: the monster, which should have been blasted into the depths of the high-rise building by the massive vector, was once again propelled into the sky.

No injuries.

Or rather, that level of destructive power alone is not enough.

"One side."

The sound came from behind.

Faced with a despair akin to the end of the world, the girl with the azure twin tails stood beside him.

"If it were me, I could help."

"I see... that's what it means."

He immediately understood Hatsune Miku's thoughts.

The girl gripped the magic staff tightly, pouring all her power into it.

—Its brilliance shone forth.

then.

'I'm holding on to on to on to nothing'

'I've begun crashing, crashing, crashing hard (I've started to destroy things recklessly) --'

『Let me feel panic panic panic again』

"Set ablaze, I'll shine brighter than the stars!"

Huge, cube-shaped things enveloped the world.

A dazzling light erupted, and the azure cube enveloped an area with a radius of several kilometers, even covering the sea surface.

Accelerator sensed it.

My vision ahead seemed to become clearer.

—Things that I couldn't capture before, I can now see directly.

Does this mean that both computing power and mental strength have been improved?

This is the power of magic in the future.

Its primary effect is neither attack nor defense, but rather its ability to influence those around it.

By unleashing and channeling their spiritual power, one can enhance the strength of certain individuals designated by the caster.

Accelerator could feel that his mental processing power had increased, and even his mental agility had instantly expanded.

This is enough.

It's better than nothing, at least.
