The system of undifferentiated matter has reached a level where it can engulf and assimilate not only inorganic matter, but even organic matter.

Kakine Teitoku did his best to demonstrate the power of his destructive aspect; he even showed an expectant expression, widening his eyes and grinning.

even so.

The first one, they didn't even bother to look at him directly.

"The battle is over."

Of course, it's not over yet.

However, Kakine Teitoku could not utter such a voice at all.

Because that statement wasn't made by Accelerator.

"The moment you start to think you're different from everyone else and can easily and limitlessly surpass everything, this nonsensical nonsense has already come to an end."

"who…?"

The voice, though clearly unfamiliar, felt strangely familiar.

There was an indescribable sense of fear.

Kakine Teitoku trembled, twisting his stiff head, his deep, dark red eyes filled with disbelief.

pat.

A figure stood directly in front of them.

Unlike his own unnatural white skin, the other person was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a normal skin tone and brown hair.

—And like himself, those two wings.

"I thought they were all personalities that came out of the same body, but I never expected that they could turn into such an ugly and unbearable appearance."

"wall…"

"But it doesn't matter anymore. Whether it's a clown or a piece of junk, it's all my own mess in the end."

"Kakine...Emperor?!"

The human standing in front was a genuine young man with a disdainful expression.

Kakine Teitoku, the second Level 5 ...

They are not gender-different beings resulting from the abnormal evolution of Dark Matter, but genuine human superhumans.

"Hahaha?"

"What, is this the only weak reaction you get when you finally see the real me?"

"It's all so easy... As long as I devour your original body here, there won't be any problems. I can then obtain a true network of primordial matter that spreads towards the real Earth, no, towards the entire universe. Is that what you mean? Only by truly killing my original body can I achieve true evolution. Ahahaha! That's exactly it!!"

Pathetic and meaningless laughter.

Kakine Teitoku, representing the destructive aspect, covered his face with one hand and laughed loudly, as huge spikes continued to spread towards him.

Bang! Countless spears pierced towards Kakine Teitoku's body.

A single strike is enough to reduce a human body to dust.

however.

That tragedy, however, did not happen.

"Varied…?!"

Kakine Teitoku, his eyes wide with shock, saw a pure white barrier, seemingly unfolding directly in space, instantly intercept his attack, unlike his own spear.

"Fool, don't you understand?"

The attacked youth gripped the tip of the spike with one hand.

With some kind of assimilation process, the entire spike becomes part of the barrier.

"In the end, you are just one of the byproducts of my ability, but you are still not the true subject of my ability."

Crackling sounds filled the air as countless particles of primordial matter converged behind the young man.

"Do you think that someone as second in rank like me would have my control of my abilities taken away by a nobody like you?"

The primordial matter that was originally intended to attack his main body was transformed into the raw material for the six wings behind him, and at the same time, half of the garage was transformed into different states.

"How...is this possible?"

The second one on the Destruction Surface couldn't believe his eyes, and he didn't hesitate to create a large number of clones.

The two faced off.

However, behind Kakine Teitoku's main body, countless unformed material entities also appeared.

Unlike the other party, the eyes of these individuals are always a gentle green.

Destruction and protection.

Two completely different minds created a distorted confrontation, and standing in the middle was the original personality that did not belong to either side.

"This... is impossible... I should have completely taken away the right to use the entire Unreal Matter Network, how could you still have the chance to use the ability?!"

"Stop saying it's impossible. You should know that the Dark Matter created by Kakine Teitoku is itself the epitome of infinite possibilities. It's no surprise that it can do anything... The reason it can't be done is simply because you don't understand."

"That's not true! I am Kakine Teitoku, I am the one who truly holds the reins of power!!"

"This standoff is so incredibly boring," Kakine Teito thought, rubbing his forehead.

"Then I'll show you a world you've never seen before."

Followed by.

The numerous undifferentiated matter entities engaged in fierce combat with each other.

Rhinoceros beetles, tanks, humanoids, helicopters, dragonflies... all sorts of forms collided together.

The two undifferentiated entities on either side are fighting in different states. Each side is Kakine Teitoku, and each side has infinite possibilities in its form. Regardless of which side it is, they are evenly matched.

only.

The longer the battle continues, the fewer units Kakine Teitoku, representing the destructive aspect, can control.

"Drink! Aaaaaaahh ...

A sound of madness and distortion.

He couldn't accept that his own power was constantly weakening, or even that his opponent possessed the same power as him... and so he threw a punch.

Because of the distortion, his body changed into a monstrous form; because of madness, his consciousness and voice began to become increasingly unclear.

In contrast, Kakine Teitoku, as a human being, has remained unchanged.

He maintained a calm expression, and the six wings on his back, just as they always had, supported him in supersonic movement.

then.

The two fists overlapped each other.

Thump—! !! It was sent flying backward by the overwhelming force.

It is the true form of Kakine Teitoku.

what.

In terms of the outcome, of course, I won.

"Haha ...

The second one on the destruction side, he laughed coldly and stood there, completely transformed into a monster, no longer caring about what would happen next.

Therefore, they were also unaware of the traces that started at the front of their fist and gradually spread upwards.

"...That's really pathetic."

Kakine Teitoku raised his head.

He gently wiped the corner of his mouth, revealing an indifferent smile.

"—I truly feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart."

then.

The next instant, the light exploded on the chest of the second-ranked figure in the destruction area.

"—?!"

"Didn't you ever think about it? As a human being, of course I would be knocked away by your strength... Knowing this, can't you guess why I still deliberately exchange punches with you? Well, that's right, after all, you can't even think normally anymore."

This is not simply physical destruction.

Kakine Teitoku, the destroyer, was well aware of this, but precisely because of this—

Things that have distorted themselves in essence have thus continued to spread.

"Why?! What did you do?!"

"I did nothing; the only thing I couldn't change was yourself."

The young man rose from the ground and looked calmly at the monster in front of him, which had become completely hideous.

"The law of the jungle applies to all creatures that once existed on this planet. Those that do not know how to adapt to their environment and evolve will inevitably be eliminated. Those that cannot integrate and adapt to their environment will never survive."

In other words...

"Haven't you noticed? Without realizing it, the entire network of primordial matter is no longer under your control."

As the original entity, Kakine Teitoku has always had the most absolute control. Once he regains control of his abilities, he will inevitably be able to determine the rational state of the entire Unreal Matter Network.

We cannot have only goodness, nor can we have only evil.

Good and evil coexist, or rather, all sorts of diverse personalities exist here, rather than only destructive personalities.

As for Kakine Teitoku, who is the destroyer, he always believed that only he was the absolute ruler and that no other personality existed.

Such arrogant and monotonous ideas would be impossible for the vast Unreal Matter Network to accept.

That is to say.

"Has this been taking too long?"

"Ah, no need to worry, I don't even need to do it myself."

Accelerator urged Kakine Teitoku on, and Kakine Teitoku simply responded calmly.

"A parasite that has lost its foundation will soon destroy itself."

寄生虫。

Once excluded from this vast network known as Dark Matter, the so-called Destruction Surface, Kakine Teitoku, has no way to obtain the source of its existence and power.

As long as he continues to hold onto his original ideas, he will never be able to return to the original network, nor will he ever gain the right to use his abilities.

"What a joke!! Me...self-destruct?! I'm Kakine Teitoku! I'm the second-ranked person in Academy City, how could something like this...this trivial situation possibly affect me—"

Crack! Crack! Crack! —!!! Endless destruction emanated from within, and the figure that had completely transformed into a monster finally realized something.

As Kakine Teitoku drew closer, he raised his hand.

Anyone could tell what he was planning to do next.

"Wait—wait, don't do this! We're all Kakine Teitoku... I'm you, we're all the same! You can't be so heartless as to do this to yourself, right?!"

Those words not only failed to persuade the other party, but also made the second person in front of him laugh.

"Whether it's goodwill or malice, don't try to bind me with simple notions of good and evil."

"I am a superhuman, and I am a human being, so I am not bound by simple good and evil. It is because of this that I am a superhuman."

He no longer gets caught up in a simple binary of good and evil.

There was no need for it anymore, Kakine Teitoku thought to himself.

Up until now, those people who have gradually met their demise before my eyes, the girls... their images flashed before my eyes, which only made me clench my fists even tighter.

"You, who are you?!"

The monster, engulfed in destruction, roared in shock.

"...I am myself."

Clang—those eyes instantly shone with a brown light.
