"It's just too unbelievable..."

All of this happened in just a few minutes.

That's all. These people in front of me solved a problem that I, and even Zhen Na, couldn't solve with such ease.

Now, Tokisaki Kurumi is completely powerless to resist and can only sit on the ground to the side.

Logically speaking, everything should be over.

At least in Itsuka Shido's view, this is how reality is.

"That was truly amazing, Accelerator! Your performance just now was absolutely flawless, even I was..."

Itsuka Shido had intended to happily run over and say that to the two of them.

But at this moment, he had to bury these words deep in his heart.

He looked up and couldn't help but gaze at the sky.

—A scene as dramatic as gunpowder smoke exploded across the entire Tiangong City.

"...What, what is that?"

"If I had to say, it's no big deal for you."

Looking at the sky where thunderstorms occasionally flashed by, Accelerator's tone remained remarkably calm.

Rather.

"We had already anticipated this outcome."

"Expected...?"

“That’s right. The girl lying there was just part of our plan, or more precisely, a pawn to lure out the core of the plan.”

A pawn... Kurumi Tokisaki is just a pawn?!

Was that most powerful spirit, capable of completely defeating Takamiya Mana in one fell swoop, merely a pawn?

So what exactly is their plan?

"One party...!"

According to the plan, the clone left at home was created by Kakine Teitoku, who was summoned by Accelerator in advance. In that case, Hatsune Miku's original body and Yoshino should also be in a completely intact state.

that's the truth.

Another figure flew down from mid-air.

"How is Yoshino doing?"

“I have sent her to safety, no… rather than safety, I would say I have sent her to protect the innocent people around her as much as possible.”

"That should actually be your job, shouldn't it?"

"But... I don't want to choose to run away at a time like this."

It's a headache. Even so, all Accelerator could do was shake his head helplessly.

Because time is of the essence.

"Are you ready?"

The three of them raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

In the distance, Itsuka Shido and the others looked over with expressions of utter astonishment.

They were all curious about what Accelerator and his companions were planning to do.

"By using everything that just happened as bait, we were able to get this scene before us."

And the result came quickly.

That's it.

—A thick shadow loomed over from that height above the clouds.

Like a meteorite, it crashed down on the rooftop of Laichan High School in an instant.

"Hatsune."

"I see!"

Boom—! The barrier covered by countless snow rays instantly spread in all directions.

In just a few seconds, the area was enveloped by the barrier created by Hatsune Miku.

The barrier was surrounded by countless runes, and various torii-like structures were also placed around it.

And all of this was merely the opening ceremony.

The moment that meteorite struck the ground, everything changed.

A figure slowly emerged from the meteorite.

That was a shadow that Accelerator, Hatsune Miku, and even Itsuka Shido in the distance would never forget.

"That is...!"

The boy hiding in the distance immediately widened his eyes.

What appeared there was a being with a black and red shell and huge wings on its back.

That's right.

It was an entity almost identical to the one that had attacked him earlier.

"You've finally arrived, DO Apis."

It is no longer some insignificant clone, but the real, genuine entity.

Accelerator's series of battles with Kurumi Tokisaki were all aimed at drawing out its existence, because he already knew that the other party must be watching him from somewhere.

Since there was a first time, there will definitely be a second time. The reason for bringing in Kakine Teitoku is to ensure sufficient combat strength in this second round.

of course.

When the two sides met, the actual situation was quite different from what they had imagined.

"Hey."

I'd say it was the first time.

The tone of Kakine Teitoku, who was standing next to him, changed drastically.

"This guy is on a completely different level compared to the one I saw last time."

I am very sure of that.

Neither of them replied; they simply stared silently at the figure before them.

The other party seemed to have noticed the situation as well.

The demon slowly rose from the rubble, its wings' inner surface heated to an extreme temperature above the sun, easily dissolving the strange substances it had brought from outer space.

Even Kurumi Tokisaki was startled when she saw this being face to face.

Are they planning to... fight this thing, this monster?!

"listen."

Then Accelerator whispered to the two people beside him.

“Advisari is not here for the time being, so only a few of us can come up with a solution.”

"That's interesting. So, what happens if they lose?"

"Why don't you use your flea-sized head to think about it properly and figure it out yourself?"

The answer is actually obvious to everyone.

Kakine Teitoku sneered, but felt a sense of oppression spread throughout his body.

"You've really found me a great job, my number one."

Ahead, the aura was beginning to surge stronger and stronger.

And then, in the very next instant.

The monster that caught sight of the white figure roared.

"Accelerator...!!!"

Chapter 391 The First and Second Place Join Forces

Followed by.

A loud bang echoed from the rooftop area of ​​the school called Laizen High School.

Unbelievable smoke instantly covered the surrounding area for dozens of meters.

boom! ! !

First of all.

Three figures shot into the sky in an unprecedented manner.

All three of them had wings that were completely different from the others.

DO Apis possesses black and red wings that are as deep as an abyss and can bring despair, with the high temperature inside scorching the surrounding air.

Kakine Teitoku and Accelerator each used their abilities to lift up the primordial matter and a gale-force wind that reached speeds of over 700 kilometers per hour, shaping it into wing-like forms and placing it on their backs.

The strongest and second strongest in Academy City have officially joined forces in this completely different world.

If someone in Academy City who knows these two well were to hear this, they would probably have an incredulous expression. It's not just because the two had a conflict that was difficult to resolve, but also because both of them are beings who have surpassed the pinnacle.

She was already number one on the throne of the strongest, and then there was the second-ranked person below her who was almost without any flaws.

This might be the strongest superpowered combination in history.

but.

They showed no signs of panic when facing monsters of this scale.

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

Kakine Teitoku unfurled the six wings on his back, transforming them into spears that shot continuously towards the enemy.

Accelerator's body was level with Kakine Teitoku's.

While Kakine Teitoku was launching this attack, he was also manipulating a larger-scale tornado, using the corresponding rocks it churned up to create friction.

In this way, the sudden gust of wind was also engulfed by the burning flames.

This level of destructive power could destroy an entire neighborhood in an instant if one is not careful.

thump—

The black and red demon raised its two hands.

The pure white wings, which were originally invisible to the naked eye and were flying at high speed, were thus decisively caught in the hands of the opponent.

An even more tyrannical expression appeared on the demon's face.

"This guy…!"

"Stop controlling your wings unless you want to die here."

Upon hearing Accelerator's command, Kakine Teitoku instantly tore off his white wings.

His body flew backward at high speed, and then the fiery tornado that Accelerator had just stirred up bombarded the enemy's entire body without reservation.

Accelerator raised his right hand.

The space rippled, and flames far surpassing those of the previous level ignited directly—the karmic fire of death, powerful enough to incinerate all evil.

The scythe of karmic fire, named Nathos, appeared in the hands of the first.

Kakine Teitoku also constructed new wings on his back and concentrated all his power at the tips of the wings, creating a dazzling dawn as white as scorching light.

The two launched a fierce attack from the left and right sides respectively.

The crimson flames accompanied the slash, followed by dozens of white streaks of light powerful enough to pierce through the building complex. The two attacks arrived at the target simultaneously and then exploded.

As the loud bang rang out, a scene resembling a meteor shattering appeared before them.
