If a well-intentioned request can grant me power, and if that power is for the purpose of better protecting all that I want to protect.

Even the dignity of being the strongest and number one would be something he would not hesitate to give up.

"I need your power, so you wouldn't mind helping a mere ordinary human being, would you?!"

At that moment.

Like an instinct welling up from the heart, something gradually transforms into a tangible eruption point.

BOOM—! BOOM! BOOM!

From behind Accelerator, a pair of wings emerged.

Pitch black, as deep as ink.

"Within your body, there has always been a power system that has been divided into two ends."

The girl, who was willing to be called Q-Demon, then began to move.

She fluttered her wings and slowly approached Accelerator's head.

Then, she clasped her hands tightly around the neck of the person in first place.

"The power to release inner emotions through singularities, and the superpower that is the manifestation of your soul's essence."

"But the essence of that superpower is the ability to manipulate the direction of energy and analyze the essence of things as if it were infinitely close to reality."

"One of the points of divergence of this force is its effect, which is like a universal connector."

Actually, the first person should have already noticed it themselves.

By using specific electrodes to change brainwaves into specific electrical signals, it is possible to connect the vast network of brains composed of tens of thousands of clones—the Misaka Network—and to project its own emotions into reality in a specific way, thus creating this ability of wings.

All of this has the effect of making Accelerator itself act like a power outlet.

The location of this socket is at the boundary between reality and the world of superpowers.

So, what would happen if this universal socket-like effect were used freely?

"Please don't resist."

Q-Demon's smile gradually softened.

And her whole body began to glow faintly.

"Please accept everything about me with all your heart...convert my body and my soul into it."

then.

In that instant, the light changed color.

From pristine white, it transformed into a purgatory-like red and black.

"—?!"

DO Apis's eyes widened.

In that instant, its heart contracted sharply.

This is?

"A connection...like that of someone from the same clan?!"

Besides that demon girl, there was another life form of the same demon race as himself existing in the sky.

Moreover, its power is completely different from that of the demon girl.

The immense life force I witnessed exhibited an effect of infinite uncertainty.

Boom—!! The demon from the abyss instantly increased its speed to the limit.

Faster than the speed of light, faster than teleportation, it arrived in the sky in an instant.

The excessive speed caused the surrounding spacetime dimensions to distort, instantly disrupting the continuity of spacetime.

However, an even greater effect is right before our eyes than that.

In an instant, the darkness of the sky was purified.

Instead, the entire sky—no—the entire world—was completely covered by a deeper color.

Red and black.

Boom! The power that erupted from the central area caused DO Apis to retreat several tens of meters.

"How is this possible—this power?!"

It looked ahead in disbelief.

Right there.

A figure was floating in mid-air.

His entire body was enveloped in a layer of dark red flames.

A massive, blood-red magic circle, large enough to encompass his entire body, appeared beneath his feet. The circle's symbols were difficult to understand, but the markings within were likely related to Hebrew.

Red and black ripples, resembling waves, continuously appeared from the top of the magic circle, moving from bottom to top and from left to right, with even the movement rules appearing quite unnatural.

the most important is.

That's right, the black wings that were meant to engulf the light and tear the world apart.

Its outer layer is a black that is deeper than ink, capable of swallowing all light, while its inner layer is a murky red that is more turbid than blood, as if it wants to pollute the world.

Red and black intertwined, and the black wings transformed into a red and black wing, a kind of wing never before seen.

DO Apis himself, however, is very clear about the true nature of this power.

Demonic power.

And the moment it truly realized this—

The human, whose entire body was enveloped in red and black power, awoke.

The inner corners of those eyes, which were originally a vibrant, jewel-like red, had turned a deep, infernal crimson.

then.

—The figure with over a hundred meters of red and black demonic wings shooting out from behind instantly raised its hand.

one strike.

DO Apis, who could easily destroy even this universe, was instantly blasted away.

Boom—The aftershocks of this attack impacted the entire Milky Way galaxy.

The entire atmosphere above the Earth was instantly swept away, the clouds were all blown away, and all the magnetic field sensors in the world were rendered useless in that instant.

Power and radiance illuminated the faces of humankind.

No.

His identity has completely returned to the most primal realm of demons.

"…I see."

Accelerator, a half-human, half-demon incarnation.

Re-experiencing the new power covering his entire body, he then stretched out his fingers and gently examined the pair of dark red demon wings behind him.

"The fusion of powers, the universal connector, that's what it means, right?"

The artificial demon representing the Tree of Evil, "Qliphoth545".

Accelerator is the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City.

Two completely different entities were brought together.

Even power and soul are completely connected at one point.

Those black wings evolved into unprecedented dark red wings.

Chapter 511 Accelerator: Demon Wings

boom--! !

In response, DO Apis was knocked out of the atmosphere.

Even the barrier of Gensokyo could not stop it; its body vanished from the earth the instant it was concentrated.

At a speed more dazzling than light, it instantly broke through into the universe.

"—Gurgle!"

Nevertheless, it still managed to stop in mid-air by its own power.

The demon quickly looked ahead, gazing at the azure, vibrant planet.

To be precise, it should be described as gazing at a certain corner of the earth.

"—What just happened?"

There was no reaction at all.

The abyssal demon, capable of destroying the entire world in an instant, possessed such extreme speed and power that even it couldn't react in time, that it was sent flying in a flash.

But it knows very well who did it.

"This... is impossible. He shouldn't possess such power..."

DO Apis said in a daze, and then flew toward the blue planet.

—Thump! !

Is there anything that moves faster than it?

In the instant of a single strike, it shot out.

Thoughts couldn't keep up with actual feelings. In that instant, DO Apis's body flew directly to Earth again—back to the land of Gensokyo—in less than a second.

Just as it was about to hit the ground, bringing about the same fate to human civilization as the Cretaceous-Paleogene impact extinction theory, the entire planet was about to be wiped out.

Its body was forcibly suspended in mid-air.

And it did indeed see who had stopped it.

The color was blood-red.

Everything, black and red like a force field, completely covered the area chosen by Gensokyo.

The grassland was transformed into a pool of blood, and the sky turned completely black, with endless crimson lightning flashing continuously among the chaotic clouds.

Rain began to fall from the sky, blood-red rain.

But there was only one person standing in front of him.

"Yo."

His voice was full of abnormality.

That deep, magnetic voice, already characteristic of men, now had an added emphasis.

It was a voice that was completely indistinguishable as either male or female.

"You look like you're quite frightened."

Accelerator is the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City.

He was surrounded by dark red magic circles and ripples, and a pair of sharp, jet-like red and black wings, each over a hundred meters long, burst forth from behind him.

But he did nothing, and the injuries he had suffered before inexplicably healed.

Accelerator is currently hovering motionless in mid-air, just a few centimeters above the ground, with his feet slightly raised.

Without even moving his hands, he simply stared at the demon before him with his dark red eyes.

Yet, those eyes held no superfluous emotion.

But... how exactly did they do that?!

'...In any case, he's become much stronger than before.'

DO Apis ultimately represents the demon of the abyss.

It possesses wisdom and rationality that surpasses that of humans, so even when it is restrained by the enemy using unknown means, it can still calmly devise countermeasures.

Its extraordinary consciousness began to operate at high speed.
