"What he's dragging is a body that doesn't look human at all. That's really beyond my expectations, you blond bastard."

Bang——! !

His arm, pulled out along with countless pieces of mechanical debris, flew up, and he was kicked away by the other party.

Otto's body rolled like a bowling ball, hit a pebble on the ground, and then spun in mid-air like a top.

And just like that, without any suspense, it crashed into the wall.

"Goo-waaa! Why, why...?"

No—upon closer reflection, if it were Otto, the answer would become clear.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Feather Dust's ability is to put anyone who sees it into a predetermined illusion, thereby allowing it to control the other person's consciousness and spirit, and even directly read their memories.

Could it be.

Is it possible——

"Could it be that everything I just saw... was all because you reversed Yu Duchen's control and then reflected the illusion back onto me, directly returning the illusion that should have been cast on you to me?!"

What Otto saw was Accelerator being trapped in the environment after being controlled by him.

But he had no idea.

What he considers 'reality' is actually the real illusion.

"It's not really that difficult, is it?"

*Snap.* Accelerator gently twisted his neck with both hands, making a snapping sound.

Her white arms were spotless, without a trace of blood.

"That thing's effect is specifically targeting brain signals? How ridiculous, you actually dare to use such a petty thing?"

“If it were the past, I might have gone down the same path as you, but things are different now. The spirit and simple brain signals are two completely different products. For humans, the spirit is not just the physiological phenomena of brain waves and nerves... it is a more conceptual thing, like magic.”

"However, in the end, even in the spiritual realm, it's ultimately just a connection of energy 'direction,' it's just a matter of whether people can understand it."

He looked at Otto.

Before Otto, the white-haired, red-eyed monster spoke, word by word.

"As long as it's the 'direction' of energy, I can control it completely."

Direction... Master...

—"The one who controls everything".

"Hahaha."

Just then, Accelerator was about to step forward and finish off the disgusting guy in front of him.

Otto, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha ...

"No mistake...it was absolutely right...!!"

"I've finally found the answer God gave me!!"

A scene that was incredibly moving.

Even though it was already a life-or-death situation, Otto's body, while not that of an ordinary human, was in serious danger of being completely defeated here—

Accelerator glanced at the other person indifferently.

He didn't care whether the guy was faking madness or what the real situation was; anyway, what he was going to do wouldn't change.

The monster took steps, one after another, toward the humans.

"...Please consider it a little longer, my esteemed guest..."

Otto clutched his stomach, but his face showed a look of great joy.

"I think it would be a good thing if we sat down and talked about our dreams."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"...That's true."

Otto smiled and shook his head.

"Then, I won't be the one to talk to you about dreams."

"…ah?"

suddenly.

The riots, which should have been completely quelled, have resurfaced once again.

Inside the culture tank right next to Otto.

—Amidst the turbulent liquid, the girl's body gradually began to tremble.

"Let Her Majesty the Queen have a good chat with you about the topic of 'dreams'."

These were the last words.

Then, immediately after.

A pure, dazzling stream of light broke through and rose throughout the entire headquarters of Destiny.

Chapter 291 The Queen Arrives

There was not a trace of anxiety in the air.

There was only pure, deathly silence.

That was an aura like death.

Accelerator turned his gaze forward.

then.

Sharp spears of light extended from the endless void.

Bang——! !

With incredible speed, dozens of spears, capable of easily tearing apart the decks of warships, shot straight towards them.

Accelerator stared silently as the spears came hurtling towards him.

then.

All reflections.

Even the impact of nuclear weapons could be completely reflected back, and all the spears of light returned all the way back.

only--

"...No sound?"

Logically, an attack reflected back should inevitably make contact with the target's body, thus triggering a series of secondary effects, such as an explosion.

But now, not only can the phenomenon itself not be heard, but not even the slightest sound can be heard.

Under Accelerator's watchful gaze, other shadowy figures emerged once again from the depths of darkness.

This time, it's a Honkai Beast.

A dozen or so identical Honkai Beasts, each wielding a long spear, charged directly at Accelerator.

This time, he flew forward himself.

Boom! !

The monster stomped through the ground and burst forth at an unprecedented speed.

For him, what he needed to do was very simple.

One-way opened its arms.

Those arms, like claws and fangs, with their five fingers tearing in all directions with a ferocious expression.

puff-

Pfft, pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft—

Countless body parts flew into the air.

He didn't care how many enemies there were.

Anyway, when he simply waved his hands like that, everything around him was ruthlessly torn apart.

Thus, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

As the creature's armor and its own skin crumbled away, the white monster fixed its gaze on the depths of the abyss.

"What a tasteless style."

Boom——! !

Accelerator slightly lifted his right foot, hooking up a palm-sized pebble.

Simply kicking a pebble off the ground can unleash an explosive whirlwind.

The explosive sound produced by the single strike caused the surrounding darkness to be swept away by a gust of wind in an instant.

This time, he saw things clearly.

In the darkness was a figure.

A figure floating in mid-air.

call--

The darkness vanished instantly.

It was an incredibly elegant figure.

A black and white dress, followed by black feathers wrapped around both sides of her neck, and four ribbon-like garments that flowed backward with her body.

Then, the symbolic long white hair indicated the other party's specific identity.

'Is it that brat named Kiana?'

wrong.

Although it appears that way, one can actually sense the difference.

The opponent's mental vector direction was completely different from Kiana's usual state.

That's completely different, like another personality.

In other words.

"Is that what you mean..."

Accord, with his hands on his hips, whispered.

"The purpose of capturing this brat is to expose such a creature?"

However, even if they looked in Otto's direction, they could no longer see him.

In the clash of attacks just now, Otto had disappeared from the spot using some unknown means.

However, Accelerator had no interest in paying attention to him.

A sense of unease arises from within, directly indicating what is truly the most important thing right now.

'So, this guy... is the target of the system mission?'

The sense of incongruity that usually only appeared during mission prompts was now directly present on the girl in front of me.

"...You look like you've been thinking about a lot of things."

The woman, who was suspended in mid-air, tilted her body slightly.

Powered by an unknown force, she was even able to maintain a supine posture in mid-air without any support, with one hand slightly raised and a very comfortable expression on her face.

Her dark gold eyes, completely different from Kiana's usual gaze, stared at Accelerator like fox eyes.

An aura, unlike anything seen before, swept over them.

"It was only a few seconds, but your face showed so many different expressions... I'm really curious, what were you thinking about until just now?"
