Witte and Advisari looked at each other.

"...No, before considering that kind of thing."

"When those two guys come back next time, they probably won't just land at our doorstep again."

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

then.

That is a story that took place six thousand years ago.

A world buried by barren land.

In the world, falling like snowflakes are those ethereal blue particles.

The sky was crimson; there was no sun, nor was there a moon.

The world has been imprisoned in a cycle of war and nightmares for years, an endless and perpetual battle that has always shaken everyone in the world.

"Hey, Xiao Ji."

The first individual of the Skywing race—an angel named Azriel.

She paused and spoke to the individual in front of her.

"I'll go check on the situation over there."

"Hey? Wait a minute, Azriel! -- Ah, that girl! She slipped away in the blink of an eye!"

Jibril, an extraordinary individual among the Skywings, looked at the first individual, a Skywing girl who could be considered her older sister, with a somewhat displeased expression as she flew towards the distance.

"Really... that's all wasteland over there, what's there to see?"

of course.

Jibril knew absolutely nothing about it.

This time, Azriel's investigation was just the beginning of something.

That was enough to transform this world, which had not yet been transformed six thousand years ago.

It profoundly made all races around the world realize the terrifying beginning of the otherworldly white monster's destructive power in this hellish place.

Chapter 553 Black Ashes, War, and the Hell of Doomsday

He quickly regained consciousness.

Coming to her senses from the usual dizzying feeling of traversing worlds, the girl with the azure twin tails immediately looked around to check her surroundings.

The sky was overcast, with no clear boundaries.

It was impossible to distinguish whether it was day or night; what appeared before my eyes seemed to be the boundary between dusk and day and night.

Large swaths of dark red and black clouds enveloped the sky here.

There is neither sun nor moon.

All that can be seen when you look up is ashes falling like snowflakes.

"--pain!"

Hatsune Miku raised her hand, but felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

She quickly withdrew her hand.

On that delicate wrist, there was a burn mark.

"this…"

The feeling wasn't exactly like being burned, but there was definitely a stinging sensation.

It was like being accidentally electrocuted; the sensation subtly numbed the nerves in the touched area, spreading slightly to the surrounding skin.

That was the result of the gray-black sky.

Just now, when Hatsune Miku raised her hand and touched the sky, her fair wrist directly touched a few pieces of falling ash...

"..."

She was surprised and confused.

Why does the sky drop such a skin-damaging gray-black color?

What's wrong with the sky? Where is the sun? Where is the moon?

Even time is indistinguishable. In this oppressive world, filled with darkness and grayness, the only thing one can feel is a chill that seems to penetrate the skin.

An ominous feeling instantly spread throughout Hatsune Miku's body.

Before letting the black ash fall and contaminate her body, the girl made a choice.

She transformed her immense supernatural power—her own mental energy—into a tangible barrier.

Buzz—! A radiant glow enveloped the girl's body.

Pure and white as snow, yet interspersed with a trace of icy blue light, it transforms into a spherical purifying shield.

Hatsune Miku's body was encased within it, completely isolating her from the gray and black invasion from the outside.

"...Not here."

After resolving her own safety issues, she became aware of another problem.

This is a very important issue.

Hatsune Miku didn't panic as usual. The first thing she did was take out the gadget she always carried with her from her pocket.

Mobile phones are one of the fruits of modern technology.

She switched her phone to a certain window and looked directly at the signal displayed on it, which resembled a radar.

"This function is still working normally..."

Relying on a system residing within the soul, one can achieve the ability to directly locate one's partner when they are in the same world.

This function will be stored in the user's electronic devices, or if not, it will be directly mapped into the user's mind.

Hatsune Miku glanced at the icons on her phone and checked where she was.

…It's just like being in a mountain ravine.

"It's so far, if I want to get there..."

It will probably take some time.

While it's not impossible to get to the corresponding location, it will obviously take some time.

Hatsune Miku does not possess spatial abilities like Accelerator.

However, during this journey, let's rely on our super-high speed to begin surveying the terrain of this world from the air.

Okay... the objectives of the operation have been confirmed first.

Putting away her phone, Hatsune Miku immediately headed towards the path leading to the top of the canyon after confirming her location.

then.

A loud crashing sound erupted from behind her.

"...?"

Boom! A sound like a boulder crashing to the ground rang out.

The dust that blew in swept across the girl's body, but it was all blocked by the mental energy shield that enveloped her.

The girl's eyes instantly changed color.

She looked wary and immediately raised her hand.

boom--! ! !

A burst of light erupted, and white-blue candlelight, as white as ice and snow, coiled around its body like a snake.

Click—a three-dimensional Rubik's Cube appeared around Hatsune Miku.

The moment the flash disappeared, she was dressed in a completely new outfit.

Blue, black, and white—the three colors are completely intertwined, with a faint hint of red mixed in.

Magical Future 2019.

This outfit, which maximizes the output of power, represents the strongest combat level in the Magical Future series.

Boom! The ground cracked open from behind.

Like a burst of quicksand, the ground behind them kept bursting open from the inside, creating one after another.

Hatsune Miku's body transformed into a streak of light and shot into the air.

The destructive force polluted the ground beneath her feet, and then—she saw it.

What exactly sprang forth from the muddy rocks?

"…insect?"

They were giant, monstrous insects walking among the quicksand.

It looks like an earthworm or centipede, and its body is so huge that it exceeds ten meters in length. Its movement alone is enough to cause mountains to tilt.

A colossal monster whose every move causes massive destruction to its surroundings.

The monster grimaced and opened its mouth.

It shot up in a straight line, like a spring pressed down on the ground.

Boom—and just like that, the monster swallowed the girl's body whole.

This is true.

—Bang! Then, the demonic insect that had swallowed the figure was pierced through the top of its head from the front.

Blood and white paste spurted out, but never splashed onto the girl who was wrapped in the shield.

"How disgusting..."

Hatsune Miku raised her wand with one hand, while showing a look of disgust.

"These insects are really scary. Let's end this as soon as possible."

Then, just as she said, it all came to an end.

The girl raised her magic wand high into the sky, chanting the corresponding song lyrics as if singing.

A stream of pinkish-black light shot out from the tip of the wand.

Like a signal flare, the beam of light exploded in the air, transforming into a colorful three-dimensional object with a radius of about ten meters.

Each solid then further divides into countless tiny cubes.

The cubes fell in a straight line like raindrops—yes, they landed entirely in the canyon beneath the girl.

It blasted everything, including the rest of the demonic worm, to smithereens.

The physical explosion is insufficient to describe this series of scenes. In short, the girl didn't need to look down to know that everything was over with that one blow.

However, this would indeed cause quite a commotion.

"Hmm... Next, I still need to find him first."

Regardless, at least it confirmed that the person I was looking for had indeed descended into this world.

Once you know this, there's no problem. No matter how far apart you are, as long as you can confirm each other's location, it's just a matter of time.

Perhaps after that, Accelerator will manipulate space himself and come directly to my side.

She unconsciously began to think about these ideas.

--boom.

A straight streak of light flashed past him in an instant.

"——!!!"

Hatsune Miku's nerves tensed up almost instantly, and her mental energy was also working at a rapid pace.

Relying on superhuman mental strength, the girl brushed past the light just as it was about to pierce through her arm.
