"Don't worry."

The destination was not mentioned.

Advisari simply wagged one of his fingers.

"It's definitely not a bad place."

No longer caring about Accelerator's expression, he turned around and made a gesture as if he were holding something in front of him.

"—The Book of Entry, the Handbook of Walking!"

Those were the exact same words as before.

As he moved, it seemed as if some kind of physical book page material actually materialized in his hand.

But he didn't stop talking.

"Follow the Moon Spirit to the entrance to the Purified Land, SIN, the Gate of Nanna!"

A phenomenon has emerged that is enough to overturn normal human perceptions.

A square magic circle appeared on the ground in front of them, but its color was silver.

As bright and clear as moonlight.

Its inner side presents a posture like a main gate, with silver light shining in all directions, but it seems that only Accelerator, Hatsune Miku, and Advisari are truly able to reflect these lights.

The light became even brighter.

But at this moment, Accelerator felt a sensation coming from the outside of his body.

There was a slight trembling sensation.

"Tsk...it's already reached this level?"

Seemingly understanding the situation, Advisari immediately looked at the white monster behind him.

"Shut up your reflexes. That thing is reacting against my spell. If this continues, nobody will be leaving here."

His words surprised even Accelerator himself.

The reflex... produced a resistance reaction to that technique?

Why didn't even he himself realize it?

But there was no time for Accelerator to think further. He immediately complied with Accelerator's request and shut down the absolute protective membrane that could directly reflect spatial effects above the eleventh dimension.

In the next instant, the moonlight completely enveloped everyone.

but.

'...This guy's abilities have actually evolved to this level?'

It seems that even Accelerator himself was unaware of all this.

His abilities have begun to change gradually without him even realizing it.

“Wow…?”

This is the command center of Fraxinus.

After a series of repercussions and upheavals, the situation has finally stabilized somewhat.

Kotori Itsuka couldn't help but get up from the ground.

"What on earth... happened?"

The tremor just now even affected the sky from below, a phenomenon that occurred after completely disregarding the laws of physics.

All of this happened the moment they observed that anomalous energy source.

Its origin is unknown, it doesn't resemble spiritual power at all, and it doesn't even belong to any power system on Earth.

When it arrived, unimaginable upheavals occurred, even profoundly impacting Fraxinus.

Kotori Itsuka quickly got up.

"What exactly is the situation on the ground?!"

"commander…"

Even Kannazuki now wore a serious expression.

He stared at the images displayed by the spaceship in front of him, his face filled with shock.

"There were absolutely no signs of life detected at the scene!"

"What--?"

Kotori Itsuka couldn't help but widen her eyes.

But that was indeed as he said.

All that remained were the mangled remains of the original Cicada High School building, no—

Even the surrounding area was unbelievably destroyed.

Although it hasn't reached the point of completely destroying everything around it, it still caused unimaginable damage to the surrounding area.

"This reaction is AST... They seem to be planning to use a display device to restore the appearance of the scene."

"That makes sense... It would be abnormal if they didn't take action."

Kotori Itsuka nodded. AST is a military organization responsible for protecting the public, and the higher-ups have also equipped them with display devices for repairing the scene. With the power of those devices, they should be able to repair it successfully in about a day.

But that wasn't what Kotori Itsuka cared about most.

What exactly is that monster that has been appearing at the scene so far?

Although the spacecraft's monitoring cameras managed to capture an image of it, the electronic equipment was subsequently affected by a series of vibrations.

No one saw what actually happened on the ground.

"What about Shido? How is he now?"

"Itsuka-kun is still waiting in the rest room and is currently fine."

"...But what about those two people?"

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku.

Their figures disappeared from the scene along with the monster's.

Have they all completely disappeared?

———————————————————————————————————

At this moment, Accelerator was in an area that even he himself could hardly understand.

"...I even wondered if I was seeing things."

"No doubt about it, this is the real world."

Advisari stayed here with him.

This is a space where the specific situation is completely indiscernible.

It looks three-dimensional, but upon closer inspection, you'll find there are significant differences.

The overall image of the space is a kind of silvery-white ripple.

It looks like flowing mercury. You can feel the texture when you step on it, but you can't quite describe what it feels like.

"What I mean by evacuation is coming to this place."

"So where exactly is this place?"

"The place of purification by the moon spirit, a sacred place that, according to legend, can only be reached through the Gate of Nanna."

Accelerator used his abilities to sense the situation in the vicinity.

The spatial vectors here are extremely complex.

Not only were three-dimensional and two-dimensional vectors mixed together, but there were also dimensional domains that he had never seen before.

"As long as we stay here, we can recover for now."

"And I'll tell you the rest in detail later."

pat.

As Advisari moved, a wooden chair appeared beneath the two of them.

Hatsune Miku, who was lying not far away, also lay down on a wooden bed, and the expression on her face seemed to have improved a lot.

Whether or not we should trust the other person is no longer something we should be considering.

As he was thinking this, Accelerator sat down.

"Now you can speak. Tell me everything you know."

Chapter 354 pertains to follow-up handling methods.

"The Demon God is not such a simple little guy."

In this spacious and deserted space, Advisari began to explain everything to Accelerator.

"To be precise, it is not accurate to describe him as a person. He is not human, nor does he belong to any race."

"Wow, this guy is actually a fairy tale bastard who popped out of a fairy tale book?"

"That's pretty much the gist of it."

The casual, sarcastic remark actually made Advisari nod.

"Because there are all sorts of legends and myths about 'demons' in the world, all sorts of things are mixed together, and have even gradually formed a real historical record."

"Demons and evil creatures were not initially considered powerful in people's minds. Their existence was scattered and intertwined, and they were not united. Such races should have had no place to survive... But history changed everything."

"As time went by, the subject of the devil became increasingly extraordinary, appearing in the Bible, myths, folklore, and all sorts of other things, even in mathematics."

"And so, everything that represented 'demon' began to grow immensely due to the length of history."

"And their final aggregate is what you see."

In other words, a demon god.

The god of the demon realm who rules over the entire demon realm and controls all demons.

This is precisely why he was able to freely use the powers of various other demons and make them his own.

"So the guy I went through all that trouble to kill was just an empty shell?"

"It's not even a shell. You should think more clearly. If it were truly a legendary demon god, how could it possibly appear in such a trivial team battle?"

Given their immense size and background, how could they possibly be so easily killed by humans in the scientific field?

Even if Accelerator is indeed an extraordinary monster, according to Advisari's description, the unimaginable nature of the opponent seems to far exceed his size.

"However, consciousness is interconnected."

He went on to say that...

"Although I don't know why, that guy did create a clone and project his consciousness onto it, sharing all the information about the team battle... naturally including everything that happened when you fought him."

"Would such a big shot remember a nobody like me? How interesting."

"Yes, to the Demon God, your status and strength are not considered powerful, and they still are now... But there is one thing that needs to be confirmed."

"The demon god was not the only one who shared all of this experience at that time."

Hearing this, Accelerator had already guessed what would happen next.

Is it fair to say that he is the best mind in Academy City?

But for him, this further understanding was even more unimaginable.

"...You mean, that bastard named DO Apis tracked me all the way here through the Demon God's memories?"

"For a demon of his caliber, doing something like this is not difficult, even if they are separated by countless worlds."

"Okay, let me ask you another question."

Accelerator simply tapped his forehead with his hand.

"What exactly is that guy here for?"
