But then something else swept across the horizon.

Boom—this time, it was a straight, orange beam of light.

Accelerator recognized that beam of lightning all too well.

"A Railgun? That means..."

The fire on the right had already told itself this before.

Various countries have decided to send Kamijou Touma to the location of the demon god Othinus.

This means that Touma Kamijou's forces have officially mobilized.

Whoosh—just then, the shadow in front of him vanished in a flash.

It wasn't that the other party used some kind of high mobility to leave, but rather that they were dragged away by some higher-level force.

"It was Euthinus who made it."

Touma Kamijou and his group have arrived here, and the place they are heading to is probably the "ship graveyard".

At this time, Othinus would choose to urgently teleport Kihara Kagura away, presumably to deal with the approaching enemies.

"So... what should we do next?"

Hatsune Miku couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Should we go find that person first? Or should we go find those people you know first?"

"neither."

The first one spoke calmly.

He looked up at the sky and then made the most fundamental decision.

"Now, let's head straight to where that demon bastard is."

"Eh...?!"

"No doubt about it, this is what the two of us should be doing now."

He ignored Hatsune Miku's surprise and continued speaking.

"Because all the guys we're looking for have gathered in that place."

That’s it for now.

The war between the various factions against the demon god Othinus officially began.

Chapter 549 Battlefield Where Multiple Monsters Gather

We've already seen it along the way.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In that distant region, those familiar people were constantly clashing.

The third one, with sparks flying from her forehead, is Misaka Mikoto.

A petite girl with blonde hair, dressed in white.

Although there was also an unidentified foreign girl there, the three of them were responsible for fighting against the giant monsters on the scene... those enormous monsters called "Gremlin".

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku were standing in a higher area.

Should we... help them?

"Do not."

In contrast, Accelerator responded calmly.

"Even if we hand it over to them, there won't be any problem. Those are just small fry."

"What we need to deal with are the real leaders hiding there; we don't have time to waste on these guys."

Leaving aside Budwei and that unfamiliar girl, Misaka Mikoto alone would probably be strong enough to completely defeat all the guys present.

While there are many mages and monsters in Gremlin, their quantity is disproportionate to their quality, especially in this chaotic battlefield where the disparity becomes even more apparent.

Therefore, there is no need to waste time here right now.

Accelerator looked ahead, beyond the ground, towards the area further ahead.

There is an island there.

At first glance, that does seem to be the case, but in reality, it is an area composed of countless broken ships, resembling an island.

"A graveyard of ships."

The destination is just around the corner.

Once you get there, you can deal with matters related to the demon god Othinus.

However, this also presents a new turning point.

That was during the battle with the demon god Othinus.

Can we ensure actual safety?

'...It's not about my own safety.'

As Accelerator pondered this, he couldn't help but glance behind him out of the corner of his eye.

That girl with light blue twin tails.

She stayed by his side the whole time.

To be honest, although I had already said those things to Hatsune Miku before, and we trusted each other honestly, and talked about fighting together, etc.

But the most pressing problem is right in front of us.

Hatsune Miku is indeed very strong, but... that's only relative to most people.

Orelels, the Right Flame, Accelerator, and... Othinus, the Demon God.

In the battlefield teeming with numerous monsters, a clear dividing line has been drawn for true strength.

Beyond this point, the area is no longer within their reach.

If we rashly take Hatsune Miku there—

"It's ok."

A gentle touch came from my hands.

In contrast to her own cold skin, the girl gently grasped her own hand with a tender gesture.

"I will always be by your side, and I will never give up on you no matter what."

She spoke gently, with the most sincere words.

…yes.

I'm so ridiculous. Why did I care about so many useless trivial things?

What's with all this talk about being qualified to enter, or about combat strength rankings?

How can someone who thinks about such things be considered to "trust" the other person?

"...Let's go."

It is no longer a separate term.

He looked intently ahead, no longer alone.

"Let's get ready to completely destroy that demon bastard...the two of us together!"

"Um!!"

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

However, in reality, the war had already begun before anyone else arrived.

First of all.

Tens of thousands of massive explosions, powerful enough to tear apart even black holes, unfolded there.

Boom! The invisible bombardment distorted the continuity of time.

There stood two figures facing each other.

"Oh dear, it really doesn't change."

The blond, blue-eyed youth was dressed in blue and gold clothing.

Orelus, and his adversary is the one-eyed god who wields the ultimate power in the realm of magic.

Othinus raised one hand and unleashed a power that was enough to destroy the galaxy countless times without a second thought.

"You're such a forgetful idiot."

"To utter such vicious words from such a cute mouth, one truly deserves to be called a god."

However, no matter how powerful that force was, the two of them remained unmoved.

Orelels and Euthinus, strictly speaking, are not human.

Othinus is a true demon god, while Orelus... is an Old God in terms of his status.

There's no such nonsense as the pinnacle of the human realm. Orelus isn't human; he's a genuine, true Old God.

"Well, even if this continues for tens of thousands of years, I don't think the two of us will ever be able to determine a winner, right?"

"That's your own judgment, you fool. I won't let a half-baked person like you hold me back when it comes to God."

Euthinus increased the output of his power once again.

"Your identity is not human. As a god, you cannot be included in my 'Army of the Dead'... So, I will simply annihilate you into ashes. No objections, right?"

"Oh dear... even a god would be too proud to give me such high regard."

then.

The young man's expression changed.

"But unfortunately, I'm not interested."

Bang! The force that should have been perfectly steady was severed in the middle.

That was Orelers' own plan.

He shattered the power in one breath, and then Othinus's destructive force, enough to dismantle the black hole itself, slammed directly into the young man's body.

An arm, carrying flesh and blood, was instantly flung away.

But the young man maintained a calm smile throughout.

"Now that things have come to this, you don't really think I'm just here to die for nothing, do you?"

Ignoring the demon god's surprise, he arrived in front of the girl in an instant with overwhelming speed.

"You should really take me more seriously, old friend."

His only remaining right arm shone with a golden light.

"—Fairy Transformation, activated."

boom! !

The simple, unadorned blow struck Othinus squarely in front of him, as if it were meant to illuminate the entire world.

"Well--?!"

The one-eyed girl was slightly taken aback, then quickly raised her hands and intercepted the beam of light.

But the light then seeped slightly backward.

"This is?"

"I'm too lazy to give a specific explanation, but in short, as the only man who is closest to the realm of demon gods, I have developed a technique that can truly kill you, this 'god'."

Fairies have long been associated with terms like 'powerlessness' and 'miniaturization'.

What Orelels did was to transform this myth into a practical spell based on the special characteristics of the demon god.

Pull the god into the realm of fairies... and render him powerless.

"Humans cannot defeat God."

These words came from the mouth of the man who was closest to the Demon God in the whole world.
