For a human being, it is impossible to simply rely on their intellect to comprehend the consequences of the entire universe being reduced to particles and forced into their body.

"... "

Accelerator opened his eyes.

But at this moment, he felt that the world he saw was black and white.

Excessive power is far beyond what the human body and mind can withstand.

Even though he managed to control the range of the Apocalypse technique through his own abilities, he still couldn't withstand the mental burden.

He is currently in a state where he seems to have lost all five senses.

The world before my eyes turned into black and white. Trying to see anything clearly made me dizzy, and even moving a finger became extremely difficult.

"But no matter what, we still managed to take that guy down..."

Accelerator's guess was correct; that thing was indeed the demon he remembered.

Although it has come at an extreme cost, being able to completely eliminate him is better than anything else.

——Crack.

Then, in that very instant.

A moment that even Accelerator himself couldn't perceive.

The purplish-black substance burst into his body in one breath.

“——Hmm?!”

The first person clutched their chest, their eyes wide.

His eyes turned completely blood red, like death.

Then, the world began to distort.

"This is?!"

This time, not only mentally, but also physically, they were plunged into the most extreme situation.

An immense force relentlessly assaulted his brain and mental realm. At this moment, Accelerator felt as if his soul was about to be crushed.

He knew exactly what had happened.

"That damned demon... in the instant of my destruction, did he try to control me with his power?!"

Right now, he's probably not the only soul inside Accelerator's body.

That was the soul of a demon, capable of completely ignoring his reflexes and pouring into his body in one breath.

What this soul needs to do now is to take over his body.

"You...you look down on me!"

He clutched his head tightly, blood slowly trickling down his face.

Not only his head, but also his eyes were bleeding.

Countless voices kept roaring in my mind.

Destruction, destruction.

Destruction Destruction Destruction Destruction Destruction Destruction —

The extreme sound relentlessly assaulted the soul of the number one, attempting to erase even the last resistance and completely seize the strongest body in the world.

"Don't underestimate me... You think you can control me with that kind of skill?!"

Boom! Wings exploded from behind him in an instant.

White wings, then black, constantly changing between the two colors in a single second, and even transforming into a colorless, transparent hue for a fleeting moment.

That's not a good sign.

The power of these wings changes according to his own emotions, and this phenomenon at this moment illustrates just how distorted Accelerator's human emotions have become.

but.

He didn't seem to care at all and grabbed his own face with his hand.

—Pfft.

He tore off a portion of the skin from his face.

It was somewhere on his forehead, near his temples, where Accelerator had forcefully torn a bit of scalp from his head with his five fingers.

"You think you can control everything just by entering my body? Bullshit, I think you're dreaming too much."

After finally defeating the enemy, we have reached this point.

How could someone else just take over my body like that?

Having survived all the darkness of the past, how could we possibly be trapped in a desperate situation in a place like this?

and so.

Even with blood and tears streaming down her face, the first one still smiled.

That was a laugh more insane and more ferocious than that of a demon.

"Don't get too cocky."

For an instant.

Something burst forth from within the first person's body.

It was the clash between souls that led him to that realm.

Then--

A strange, purplish-black lightning began to flash from his entire body.

—Bang! !

Without any reason, relying on some completely unknown force, a dark red object was forcibly pulled out of his body.

That is the soul of a demon.

Accelerator's entire body was enveloped in a dark, purplish-black lightning. This current did not belong to this world; no—strictly speaking, its presence here was necessarily a mistake.

That's a power that humans can't control.

But the strongest monster before them ruthlessly took control of this power.

"You seem to think you've already met the conditions for victory."

Accelerator spoke up.

However, his voice appeared distorted and stressed.

The first one raised his hand, and in his hand, five fingers pressed down hard on the demon's soul.

A purplish-black current gradually flowed from his body to his fingertips, and then completely locked onto the surface of that soul.

"But I'm sorry, it's such a pity."

The only thing that remained unchanged was those scarlet eyes.

And the first one gave a merciless sneer.

"You've picked a fight with the wrong person."

puff----!!!!

He clenched his five fingers together and crushed the monster's soul completely.

This is not a power belonging to humankind.

In a sense, it should belong to the power of the gods.

It is precisely because of the intense conflict between souls that the First One was able to reach this realm at this moment.

But all of that only lasted for a few seconds.

After a while.

The figure that had been suspended in mid-air then returned to its original state.

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

The darkness that had enveloped the Moon Capital receded.

Centered on the imperial city area of ​​the Moon Capital, a massive force instantly dispelled the darkness that covered the entire imperial city.

After that, the Moon People who were outside began the restoration work again.

"The problem doesn't seem too serious."

"What's the problem...?"

"This is it. Your Moon City was severely damaged. Are you sure it's okay like this?"

"Hmm~ Although the city did suffer severe damage, and the imperial city even disappeared, as long as the Moon People are alright, then there is no problem for us."

Watatsuki Toyohime and Hakurei Reimu chatted about this topic in the Lunar Capital's palace.

Nearly a day has passed since the invasion of the Moon Capital ended.

The girls from Gensokyo have all arrived inside this palace, and the two princesses from Luna City have also come here.

Incredibly, in just about a day, all the buildings that had been damaged throughout the month were completely restored.

After the war, the Watsuki sisters, relying on the machines they had prepared beforehand, completely restored the buildings, streets, and the utterly destroyed imperial city that had been damaged by the aftermath of the battle... The entire process took only about half a day.

Fortunately, the people of the Moon Capital were all in the Dream World, so they were not affected by the terrifying battles that took place in the outside world.

"Well, anyway, it's finally over!"

Marisa hugged Reimu from behind, causing Reimu to sigh.

"You...the other party was a moon person who once planned to invade Gensokyo! Even so...I have absolutely nothing to say about it."

"You two really have no ambition! I've been thinking about how to invade the land of the Moon Capital from the very beginning, and I even brought Sakuya here for that purpose. This ambition will not disappear even now!"

"Um, young lady, you, who were the first to be defeated by a princess from the moon, seem to have the least right to say such things..."

The girls of Gensokyo were playing together as usual, and in front of them, Watatsuki Toyohime and Watatsuki Yorihime were looking at them together.

"Ah... if we had known it would turn out like this, we shouldn't have gotten into a conflict with them in the first place."

"Although I did it because I received a letter from my master, I never thought it would develop to this extent."

As the girls chatted, another figure appeared before them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, gentlemen from the earth."

A young man dressed in white and blue ancient-style clothing, with long white hair, met by moonlight.

Despite being one of the highest-ranking figures in the Moon Capital, he appeared as gentle as an ordinary young man in front of the group.

"The banquet has begun. We hope that all the ladies from Gensokyo can take their places as soon as possible. At the same time... this is also our most sincere apology from the Lunar Capital. We hope you can accept it."

"Oh my god! So the banquet will be the same as the banquet in Gensokyo?!"

"So this is all you've been hoping for all along..."

Reimu shook her head helplessly and could only quickly take her place and go inside with the other girls.

then.

After confirming that the girls had completely left.

"A rare banquet, especially one hosted by the higher-ups of the Lunar Capital, and more precisely, one hosted specifically for you..."

"No need."

From the pavilion behind it, another figure slowly walked out.

Seeing this, Yueye couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"We sincerely want to use this banquet to apologize to you, so..."

“That kind of thing is fine for those women to talk about; I have absolutely no interest in it.”

Accelerator stood there nonchalantly, arms crossed, and said...

"After all, I came to this place for my own reasons."
