Due to its overwhelming victory and the exaggerated descriptions from AST in the later stages, the higher-ups, combining the spirit's very special condition and combat characteristics, gave it an unprecedented and peculiar name.

—"Death"

Chapter 327 Kurumi Tokisaki

Tengu City, on a street in the distance.

About ten minutes ago, I heard the spacequake alarm.

However, to this day, none of the residents here have seen any signs of damage in any area.

People initially thought there might be a problem with the alarm system, or even that it was just a drill.

after that.

"Hey... what's that?"

After that, everyone in Tiangong City saw it.

Little by little, they gathered together, and then, like the end of the world, they appeared in the sky above the city like a black hole.

"What the hell is that?!"

"A black hole? Wait, wait, you must be kidding me...!!"

"Could it be that a movie is being filmed somewhere? It's probably just a holographic projection using the latest technology!"

Regardless of what people discuss, the black and white sphere in the sky disappeared after only a few seconds of its formation.

While people were still pondering this, a shadowy figure in the distance was already approaching the street below.

In an alleyway where no one noticed.

An ominous white figure slowly emerged.

"...Did things get a little too big?"

There are many ways to deal with those guys, but ultimately, it was the other side that launched the first attack without warning.

If it were the Accelerator of the past, he probably wouldn't bother with any more words and would have just shot the other person in the head.

Ultimately, too many things have changed.

The monster's fangs have been worn down considerably.

After walking out of the alley, the people on the surrounding streets were still in a state of utter astonishment... Logically speaking, the alarm sound should be from a very distant area, so how could it be heard even here?

These citizens were far away, so there was no need for them to take refuge. Even so, the mimicry black hole attack just now still caused quite a commotion.

But that's fine too.

After creating a commotion and attracting everyone's attention, things became much easier for me to handle.

Walking alone on the street, Accelerator then took his phone out of his pocket.

Once you open the lid, you'll see a very clear label appearing at the front of the screen.

"It seems much better than last time; at least that stupid woman is still in this world."

The marked area is naturally where Hatsune Miku is located.

With just this phone, you can find your teammates anywhere in the same world, and then—

Although the actual routes of the city are not very clear, at least we can rely on the atmosphere and then manipulate the atmosphere to perceive the extent of the city.

But that's a thing of the past.

"Can it be done?"

If it were the current Accelerator, both time and space vectors would have reached a level that could be completely controlled.

With this level of precision in terms of power, it is no longer necessary to rely on something as simple and uninteresting as the atmosphere to interfere with the environment.

that's it.

Standing on the street, Yifangtongxing immediately closed his eyes.

Then, a sensation from within his body enveloped his mental realm.

Although it is something that cannot be seen or touched, it is a real and tangible thing that truly exists, not just a figment of imagination.

This is the concept of space.

Then, as long as you follow this path and manipulate the energy using your own power—

It's not necessary to manipulate all vectors to do this; you only need to manipulate the simple three-dimensional vectors and the vectors of some other dimension that are overlaid on them.

Then he did indeed sense it.

He could perceive the spatial vectors covering the entire city and the phenomena at a specific location with perfect clarity.

No.

--wrong.

"…What?"

He couldn't help but frown.

Within the spatial area of ​​the entire city, there is a certain point where the vector influence is completely different.

Accelerator immediately opened his eyes.

It was a scarlet, malevolent space, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Its interference extends beyond just space.

And then there's time.

Hatsune Miku's location is right in the center of that area.

Accelerator had no idea what that space was.

But regardless, the fact that Hatsune Miku is in that situation is a reality right before our eyes.

"...That stupid woman!"

boom--! !

Without the slightest hesitation, the monster's expression immediately became somewhat distorted.

He moved his body, and with a loud bang, he disappeared from the space in front of him.

The unnatural purplish-black currents flowing across the ground seemed to symbolize the monster's unspeakable rage.

The torn space slowly recovered in the next instant.

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

At this very moment, in a park in Tiangong City, a large number of people have gathered together like this.

These people were originally just a bunch of delinquent teenagers.

Because they enjoy bullying and harming small animals, they often ride their motorcycles around parks, doing this kind of cruelty to innocent people. Even if someone wants to stop them, they probably wouldn't dare to do anything when they see their tattooed bodies and the chains and hooks on their pants.

Most people wouldn't dare to get involved.

That's right.

If so, then it exists in a realm completely outside of normal human beings.

"--whee."

Then, a young girl appeared there.

A woman with stunningly beautiful appearance, possessing a seductive charm that could steal everyone's attention.

but.

The girl, dressed in black and red gothic attire, was holding a firearm in her hand.

In his left hand was a pistol, and in his right hand was a retro-style rifle.

Those who had previously committed all sorts of evil deeds were the delinquent youths who had fallen before her.

"No...no! Don't come any closer!"

"Oh dear, why are you scared, Mr. Motorbike Man?"

Click, click.

That was the soft sound of the girl repeatedly pulling the trigger with her finger.

She approached the group of people in front of her step by step.

The delinquents behind him were already too scared to speak, while the boy sitting astride the front was trembling all over.

The girl silently pointed the gun at the top of his head.

"You and I are doing the same things, aren't we?"

"Ah...ah..."

"We are all taking lives, we are all doing the exact same thing—why do we feel fear when it happens to us?"

"Stop talking!!!!"

This scene, however, brought an even more joyful smile to the twin-tailed gothic girl.

She chuckled and nonchalantly pulled the trigger.

Bang——! !

However, the pistol was knocked away.

A deep blue beam of light, like a shooting star, slammed directly into the rifle in his hand.

"…oops."

She chuckled softly and turned around.

With a playful expression, he looked at the figure in front of him.

"Oh dear...really, are we still going to protect these boring people even now?"

"...I won't let you continue."

Corresponding to that gothic dress was a girl with twin ponytails in a bright blue dress resembling a star map.

Although both of them had pigtails and wore incredibly gorgeous dresses, their postures were completely different.

The girl on the left has a very determined and angry expression on her face, and she holds a magic wand with a golden star at the tip in her hand.

The girl on the right wore a playful and contemptuous smile, and held a rather retro-style rifle and pistol in her hands.

The two stood facing each other.

But regardless of which side it was, the delinquents lying on one side were so frightened that they couldn't utter another word.

"Is that alright? These people are just like me, with countless innocent lives on their hands, you know?"

Even so, it is absolutely no reason for you to play with their lives here!

"Hehe...!! You really seem like a very worried young lady... So, have you ever paid attention to your own situation?"

The girl smiled and raised her hands.

at the same time.

Around the girl with the azure blue twin tails, a phenomenon unfolded, expanding like a shadow.

"—!!"

"It doesn't really matter what these boring guys do."

Something grew out of the darkness.

"The most important thing is still your existence, isn't it~?"

puff! !

Those were very fair arms.

The seemingly thin arm swept across the spot where Hatsune Miku had been standing in an instant.

The girl's body landed five meters away, but the ground where she had been standing was torn apart by those arms.

This person…!
