and so.

"Switch to particle generator mode!"

The first person, completely disregarding the state of his body, continued to raise his hand.

"...Doomsday".

The ultimate, truly apocalyptic blow that could bring about the end of the world.

He used it without hesitation.

Six generators surrounded the area, and then—a storm of plasma swept through.

A purple-white plasma field completely enveloped the entire area of ​​the demon.

The design range is tens of kilometers in radius, but in reality, the impact of that force is far greater than that area.

Even the smallest disaster calculation scope must include all regions, including the entire Earth, the Moon, and Mars.

That was equivalent to the complete explosion of a neutron star's own energy.

With only his left arm, which he could move, he ignored the pain that coursed through his entire body.

Accelerator flapped his white wings and took action.

"Let everything vanish—!!"

Gathering all his strength, he blasted the force towards the innermost part of the alternate dimension with his left arm.

Particles, spirit, spacetime.

Combined with Bai Yi's maximum power output, the electrodes on his neck had turned dark red at some point, and his power was further enhanced after manipulating the vector.

This is already a true all-out effort.

All that Accelerator could currently do was unleash his maximum power output in one go, erupting completely above the skies of Gensokyo.

He possesses the power to manipulate the direction of energy, so even a force powerful enough to destroy an entire planet can be channeled into a single target.

The light burst completely shattered.

A ripple swept across the sky of Gensokyo, and from that moment on, a massive earthquake that covered the entire region, along with the force that ripped apart all the lakes and land, and even the very latitudes themselves, completely pierced through the land.

Fortunately, all of this was directed at a single individual and was released within an alternate dimension.

Then--

Everything came to an end.

Chapter 502 Facing Death?

Accelerator was engulfed in the burst of light, and he was no longer able to move an inch.

The only parts that could still move were a few fingers on his right and left arms.

—Bang! !

Suddenly, he felt touch on his body.

He was captured.

"Well done."

The light was swallowed by the darkness.

DO. Apis stepped out from there.

In contrast, its left arm and the part located in the center of its chest completely turned to ashes and vanished in the wind.

But that's about it.

"I've taken up so much of your time, but at least I've achieved something useful."

Just seconds.

The damage to his chest and arms gradually healed.

"Looking across countless worlds, there are probably very few people who can do this."

"And in this world, you are the only one who can achieve this."

despite this.

For DO Apis, that wasn't even considered a serious injury.

It will fully recover in a short time, maybe even less, maybe just a few seconds.

Accelerator didn't look at it again.

He collapsed in the demon's hands, his neck gripped. The six generators had long exceeded their power limits, and the pair of white wings had shattered from the excessive force.

All our cards have been played.

Even the strongest espers in Academy City are helpless now.

"So."

The demon stared at it and without hesitation gathered its power into its hand.

"Now is the time for me to reap the rewards."

In the blink of an eye, with the slightest twitch of its fingers, the head of the first person would be severed.

It could easily kill him at any time.

then.

—Accelerator, who was being held captive, unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

"...?!"

boom! ! ! !

His arm was unable to move.

However, his five fingers can still move.

As long as he retains enough mental capacity and his skin can still come into contact with things, he can exert his abilities and manipulate the direction of energy.

This power was something he had already accumulated long ago.

The next moment—

The universe itself has completely deviated from its original trajectory.

The vector that controls all energy directions, that is, by relying on those five fingers, pulls the universe itself.

In this way, the effect will not be offensive.

"That guy..."

At this moment, the abyss demon had arrived in a pitch-black area.

This is a distant region outside the universe.

Because the universe that was originally located in this region was pulled off its own orbit by another ability user, it also separated from that universe.

But this isn't a big problem for it.

"The longest estimated time and distance... will probably take two days."

Two days later, it will be able to return to Gensokyo.

With that in mind, DO Apis hovered in place and couldn't help but look at his hands.

Even if you catch them, even if they lose all their strength, they can still do this.

Accelerator is the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City.

"...You are a true powerhouse."

Even in the vast universe, DO Apis is one of the top existences.

It gave him its heartfelt evaluation.

"It is precisely because you are strong that I will show you no mercy."

The destruction of Gensokyo was delayed for two days thanks to the all-out efforts of one human.

These last two days will be the final days of Gensokyo.

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

For Gensokyo, all of this felt like the end of an era.

Before our eyes, unimaginable things, like black holes, kept spreading out of the sky in all directions... Even time and space themselves were subjected to unprecedented destruction.

The land, starting from that area, has begun to rot continuously.

In essence, the scope of the damage is far more than that.

"Master Zi!"

His own shikigami was hurriedly helping him to move forward.

How many years has it been since I last fled in such a panic?

"Lady Murasaki! Hang in there... We're almost at Hakurei Shrine!"

When I regained consciousness, everything before me felt like the end of the world.

The sky above Gensokyo is surrounded by a blood-black border.

Endless black lightning flashed continuously from there, a series of destructions that tore the entire sky apart, and from the inside, a large amount of black void matter kept emerging.

The Hakurei Great Barrier is probably no longer able to be maintained.

The barrier between illusion and reality is maintained by her power, so if the Hakurei Great Barrier dissipates, only her own power will remain to ensure the existence of Gensokyo.

For this reason alone, I cannot simply die here.

"...Reimu...how is she?!"

Yukari Yakumo finally remembered everything that had happened before.

When facing that demon, that truly invincible demon, one against whom no one could contend.

Besides herself, the guardian shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine also suffered a fatal attack.

"The Hakurei Shrine Maiden's life force is very weak. Right now, her entire body is suffering from burn-like injuries, and her heartbeat seems very faint. If this continues..."

"How far are we from the shrine? Are we there yet?!"

How much time has passed since I fell into a coma?

Yukari Yakumo dared not think about it.

She bit her lip and pulled her arm out of her shikigami, Yakumo Ran's, embrace.

"Well--!"

Then, Yukari Yakumo began to unleash the immense power of manipulating boundaries.

"Lord Zi! No! If you use your power now—"

"We still have a long way to go to the Hakurei Shrine. If Reimu were to end her life here, then everything would truly be over!"

For the future of Gensokyo, neither I nor Reimu can die here.

more importantly.

We cannot let down the human who sacrificed everything to give us this path to survival.

Buzz—!! Instantly, a huge gap appeared directly beneath everyone's feet.

Before anyone could react, their bodies were swallowed up by the gap, but returned to the world a few seconds later.

"Whoa-!"

"This...this is!"

Marisa recognized her surroundings in an instant.

The corridor stretched downwards, with bushes everywhere on both sides, and... cherry blossom trees that had only bloomed about a month ago.

If you look straight ahead, the deep red torii gate stands tall there.

"Hakurei Shrine!"
