But she soon took a bite of the snack in her hand.

"Delicious, it smells so good...!"

"...I never expected that you'd never even tasted something like this before."

"This dish called takoyaki...it looks delicious. When I get back, I'll try to learn how to make it."

Alice kept praising the takoyaki in her hands.

However, all of this came as too strange for Accelerator.

"...It started with the currency issue, no, the first thing to consider is, after I came in from the outside, why am I standing here now?"

Nathos did not think of it as something that had been put away.

Why didn't they appear by his side? And why is the currency being used indiscriminately?

In the dim light.

Accelerator seemed to realize something.

Then——

He raised his hand without hesitation.

"Um…?"

Alice blinked and looked at him, puzzled.

What you're doing—

Before the girl could finish speaking...

The first person reached out and grabbed at the air in front of them without hesitation.

——Crack.

Then, in that instant.

The entire world called Lunar Capital shattered like glass before their eyes.

boom! ! !

The vast world of technology was reduced to countless fragments.

Chapter 488 Language Changes the World

The world vanished.

It's not a metaphor or a statement of reality.

The moment Accelerator raised his hand, his arm, like a sharp claw, tore the space in front of him to shreds.

Originating from the palm of his hand, massive cracks began to spread outwards in all directions.

then.

Everything that appeared before my eyes shattered like ice crystals.

—Click click click click click.

Only Accelerator remained unaffected, standing still in place.

The world fell around him like fragments, whether it was Alice beside him or the residents of the Moon Capital who had appeared on the streets earlier, everything was like that.

Only after everything shattered did the true nature of reality become clear to him.

It still looks the same as the original Lunar Capital.

However, it was different from the scene of extreme prosperity just now.

Throughout the city, where technology and ancient style intertwine, there is only one other way to pass through.

There was simply no one else.

…wrong.

"Um...um..."

Alice's voice came from behind.

Unlike me, she seemed to have been lying on the ground for a while before she had just woken up.

"What... happened?"

"Looks like you're the same way."

Alice, still somewhat dazed, stood up and noticed Accelerator standing beside her.

She looked around in confusion, and like Accelerator, she also confirmed that the surrounding environment was completely empty.

The entire city looked no different from a ghost town.

The city Alice just saw should have been very prosperous, with crowds filling the streets...

"What you just saw was not the real world at all."

"Eh…?"

"I guess our situations are similar; after arriving in this city, we were each pulled into different illusionary worlds."

Alice looked surprised.

Because, just now, she did indeed have the same experience as Accelerator.

Upon arriving in the Lunar Capital... in her memory, she and Accelerator had landed directly in the city, and were about to ask the Lunar People for directions when they suddenly discovered that the entire world had shattered into pieces.

When she came to her senses, she found herself and him together in the deserted City of the Moon.

"You mean everything that has just happened was an illusion?"

"No, strictly speaking, that shouldn't be a hallucination."

If it were a genuine hallucination, it shouldn't have been able to affect Accelerator at all.

However, that power acted directly on his mind through reflection. If it were just a normal hallucination or illusion, this would never happen.

"...This is a really troubling situation."

at the same time.

Suddenly, someone's voice came from ahead.

Accelerator and Alice turned around to look at each other.

But what appeared before them was a figure they had never seen before.

"This is very bad. If the dream world is destroyed like this, the people of the moon will surely be in great danger."

A figure floated down from mid-air.

Behind her, there seemed to be a pair of white wings, and as the wings fluttered, some scattered white feathers fell down with them.

The purple outfit was overlaid with a white and purple overcoat, and she had white hair and bright red, jewel-like eyes.

And, there was a serious aura that could be clearly felt from the girl at any time.

Her face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking or writing.

The girl landed directly on the ground in front of the two of them.

"However, fortunately, Doremi restored the dream world that had been instantly destroyed in time, otherwise the situation would have been quite bad."

"So, where did you come from, you bastard?"

Accelerator glared at the woman and said as if questioning her.

From her words, it can be inferred that she was involved in everything that just happened.

however.

The beautiful woman before him, though she had spoken to herself at the beginning, was now showing no intention of responding to him.

"Did you think you could distance yourself from the issue by keeping quiet?"

He stared at a pair of eyes that were even redder than the girl's, and said, word by word.

The monster's tone grew increasingly sharp.

"There's no way to avoid it now."

Bang——! ! !

Accelerator stepped out with his right foot, completely crushing the ground beneath him.

The massive shockwave tore apart an area with a radius of tens of meters beneath him, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread outwards.

He concentrated all the impact into a single point and blasted it directly towards the girl.

Smoke and dust exploded.

The rubble blasted from the inside of the street covered the girl's body, making it look as if she had been completely buried.

Alice rushed to Accelerator's side.

"Could that woman be the one who led us into that false world?"

"Who knows, but it's probably pretty close."

Although they didn't know the other person's identity, they could guess to some extent.

"In this deserted lunar city, only that guy appeared here. No matter how you look at it, everything that just happened is completely related to her, right?"

boom--

The dust ahead was blown away by a new, enormous force.

The woman's figure then emerged from the path covered by rubble.

The first person's gaze turned cold.

"You don't intend to deny what you just said, do you?"

Followed by.

The gale, which seemed poised to blow the entire city away, transformed into a pure tornado and surged toward the woman with overwhelming force.

The force swept everything away in one breath, crushing the entire street with unprecedented power.

But the girl then began to say something else.

In an instant, the force that should have struck her was forcibly distorted by something unseen.

The tornado spread out from her left and right sides.

Explosions rang out one after another behind the girl.

The girl, however, was completely unharmed.

"What was that just now...?"

"Ha! You didn't want to talk at first, but now you're willing to open your mouth?"

The underlying principles are completely incomprehensible.

It was unclear what kind of force the opponent used to deflect the attack, but—

At this moment, Accelerator revealed a burning smile instead.

"From now on, whether you want to speak or not, I will let you speak to your heart's content."

"Even if you don't want to say it, it's the same."

The ground exploded.

The white light, shooting out at supersonic speed, crashed into the woman in an instant.

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

Boom——! ! !

The conflict erupted in an instant.

Accelerator, Alice, and the unidentified white-haired girl.

The fierce battle between the two sides then began.

"Spell Card!"
