But now is not the time to say those things.

"The moon, the moon is going to fall from the sky!!"

The people sitting in the car immediately shouted, and at this moment, the moon was less than a hundred meters away from the ground.

The moon's approach to Earth would have a tremendous impact, whether it's high tides or something else, the most obvious impact would be that it would smash and destroy the surrounding environment.

Accelerator couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

With a flash of massive black wings, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

"Ah! Yifang!"

Hatsune Miku was immediately startled.

He... he wouldn't be planning to take the moon down from the sky, would he?!

No way!!

Just as he was thinking this, Accelerator had already arrived in front of the moon in an instant.

If you're alone, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Whether it's the moon or Mars colliding with Earth, or even if you throw it into the sun, it will remain completely unharmed.

He can reflect all energy directions in the world, whether it's nuclear weapons, asteroids hitting Earth, or even neutron star explosions. As long as it's in the direction of energy, he can directly manipulate and reflect it.

However, if the moon were to actually fall, he wouldn't be the only one affected.

and so.

"--Huh?"

At that moment, Accelerator noticed something strange.

This moon is a little different.

In reality, if the moon were to actually approach Earth, regardless of the magnitude of the impact, phenomena such as high tides would be absolutely unavoidable.

But now, let alone high tide, the ground is only shaken by wind pressure and has no other effect.

Come to think of it, the ice and chains that the woman named Arcueid summoned before were the same; they all seemed to appear out of thin air.

The same applies to the moon.

Could it be...?

"This thing isn't the real moon?"

Thinking this, Accelerator immediately made a move.

He turned his right hand into a claw shape and shoved it directly into the surface of the moon.

Click.

It wasn't the sound of him breaking the rock, but rather a hoarse sound like a radio with a bad signal.

correct.

This moon isn't a real moon at all; its power and other quantities are far inferior to a normal moon, and...

This thing is a product made of pure energy.

"Ha, isn't that simple?"

The number one in Academy City, an esper capable of manipulating all directions of energy.

Now, the true nature of this monster will be revealed here.

"Manipulating the direction of energy—is there anyone better than me at that?"

Followed by.

A massive amount of data flashed through his mind in an instant.

If it were a real-world supercomputer, it would probably be overwhelmed by such a massive amount of data in an instant, let alone be able to perform calculations.

"It can't be done."

The monster grinned.

"Who do you think I am?"

In the past, he had successfully manipulated the rotational force that Earth, the planet, was so proud of, on several occasions.

If it's him, then there's no problem.

He had already obtained enough laws from Arcueid during their previous confrontation.

It can be explained using mathematics.

He can even analyze the illusion of the Big Bang using his own abilities. What is this level of ability?

"Liar..."

The people inside the car could no longer contain themselves.

They all couldn't help but run out of the car, staring in astonishment at the scene in the sky.

A giant moon.

Now, it is gradually fading away.

That was never the real moon. Its size and other dimensions cannot compare to the real moon. Now that it has been manipulated as energy, its fate will be to vanish completely.

The whole process took less than a few seconds.

When I came to my senses, the sky had returned to normal, and the world was once again bathed in blue skies and white clouds.

pat.

In that instant, the two of them suddenly understood something.

"Liu Li."

"W-what's wrong? It's cold..."

"I feel like I've realized something."

Fuyukawa Ryo said this subconsciously.

"It's not that we're too weak."

"Instead, from the very beginning, this was not a powerful force that we should compare ourselves to or confront."

The pair of black wings that had shot out from behind him had disappeared without anyone noticing.

The top-ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City fell from the sky unharmed.

Chapter 149 Who will be the first to die?

"...This is really troublesome."

Accelerator flew straight down from the sky.

Looking around, he found that apart from the slight impact caused by the previous wind pressure, there was nothing else, such as a rising tide.

That was indeed a fake moon.

"Are you okay?"

Anyone who witnessed such a scene would be astonished.

Blocking the moon from falling is something that no normal person can imagine.

Ryo Fuyukawa stared in disbelief at Accelerator in front of him, who remained unharmed despite the outrageous things the other had done.

Accelerator ignored his astonished gaze.

"Let me guess, is it a veteran who's played several games or a newbie like these two?"

The audience is, of course, very clear.

Accelerator is questioning Virgil, who is standing before him.

The man who always held that Yamato Blade in his hand exuded an extremely cold and sinister aura.

It's somewhat similar to Accelerator, but there are also fundamental differences.

Generally speaking, it's very difficult to cooperate with this kind of person, a fact that Accelerator is well aware of.

Because of his personality, he understands that someone with this kind of personality is very likely to act like a lone wolf.

"You don't need to worry about anything else."

However, Virgil seemed to see right through Accelerator's thoughts.

"In this battle, I will stand by your side."

"ah…?"

This somewhat disrupted Accelerator's thinking.

Logically speaking, he should have a good eye for people, and the man in front of him would almost never choose to cooperate with others.

"That's why I said you don't need to worry about anything else."

A hint of anxiety crept into his voice as Virgil walked right past Accelerator.

“I don’t want to fight alongside you, but if I don’t do this, I won’t be able to return to my original world.”

"That's called a system... right? The system told me that, unlike you, I'm in a situation where I'm being summoned for a limited time. So, as long as I complete this so-called team battle, I can go back directly to my world... provided that the team wins."

"So that's all there is to it?"

"I guess you can understand that this is not my intention."

"…ha."

Accelerator gave a cold laugh.

Because they both have similar personalities, he was able to understand the other.

"Do as you please. After all, this is your own life."

I have a rough idea of ​​what the situation is.

Although Virgil joined the team battle, he was different from Accelerator and the others. It seemed that he was only summoned here for this team battle, so he could return to his original world as soon as the team battle ended.

But the prerequisite is that the white team must win.

That's why Virgil stepped in to help them.

It wasn't his intention; if he weren't bound by a team, he might have simply sat back and left like a passerby.

Everything was just to return to the world that originally belonged to me.

"…simply."

Subconsciously, the number one in Academy City couldn't help but murmur.

"It's the same as mine."

Nevertheless, there are still significant differences between them.

After this battle, Virgil will be able to return directly to his own world.

Even if Accelerator wins this battle, he cannot directly return to his original world.

The reasons are the same, but the results are not.

"…that."

Coming to their senses, Hatsune Miku had already walked directly to their side.

"Is everyone alright, no one injured?"

"No need to worry about it."

Accelerator looked towards the spot where the original members of the Black Team had left.

"Those guys may have a high purity level, but they're not actually that scary."

"Huh…?"

"First, there's that blonde woman. Although I don't know what kind of power she's using, I've already captured her data during the battle and performed reverse calculations to the maximum extent possible."

"Then there's that silver-haired woman. Even if she can stop time, it's meaningless in the face of my power."
