Jibril immediately focused all her power on the reversal, causing the power of "Sky Strike" to burst into the sky, directly surging towards the pure white shadow.

But she knew absolutely nothing about one thing.

That's something she'll never know.

Once, those two white-winged beings saved billions of lives—that is, all of human civilization on Earth—from the rampaging "Star of Bethlehem."

The same thing is true now.

A full-force impact at top speed could, at the very least, cover the entire Eurasian continent.

In severe cases...

The power that encompasses the entire surface of this planet.

Carrying an overwhelming power that this world could not possibly withstand, Accelerator charged head-on.

Then--

The world was dyed the white of apocalypse.

"Wa ...

Jibril's entire body was burning.

Without hesitation, she paused time, using the frozen moment as a shield to protect herself—but it was no use.

The immense, unbelievable impact easily crushed time and space.

If it were just a simple physical attack, that would be fine. However, what Accelerator manipulates is a kind of power that no one in this world can see.

It belongs neither to science nor magic, yet it contains vectors of time and space.

No matter how hard the girl tried, even if she exhausted her power to manipulate space and escape to another dimension, it would all be meaningless.

To withstand the maximum speed impact of these white wings, one would need a defensive capability capable of destroying the entire surface of a planet.

But Jibril simply couldn't do that.

Her strongest and most prized attack, "Sky Strike," is, in essence, nothing more than a destructive and alterative strike to a specific area on the world map.

Accelerator's White Wings are at a level equivalent to destroying the entire world map.

The disparity was too great. Even if she used the massive angelic power unleashed by the "Star of Bethlehem," which was once powerful enough to completely destroy an entire civilization on Earth, her "Sky Strike" would not be able to withstand it, let alone in the current situation.

Until the very last moment, Jibril still couldn't understand what had happened.

--No.

"what…!"

Azriel, near death, mysterious attackers, the God of War ordered them to indiscriminately attack the races on the ground, with the aim of forcing out a certain "person".

She seemed to have figured out what was going on.

It seems that we now know who brought Azriel to the brink of death, and who the "person" that the God of War Arteshu is searching for is.

"You...so...you're the one Lord Artesu has been looking for—?!"

He was no longer able to speak.

In the end, all Jibril could sense was everything that had swallowed up the heavens and the earth.

She will never forget the power of this "monster".

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

Then, Accelerator calmly returned to the ground.

He controlled the output of his power, refraining from unleashing such a massive amount of force onto the surface of the planet. Otherwise, all life on the planet would have been wiped out, and these races would have had no reason to engage in the "Star Cup" battle; they would have been exterminated by Accelerator long beforehand.

Even after being bombarded with a force far exceeding the size of the ocean, the planet stubbornly continues to survive.

On the ground riddled with holes, only one figure remained, barely clinging to life.

A mecha girl whose body is riddled with damage, like a broken rag doll.

Accelerator glanced at her briefly, and at the same time noticed the figure in the mud pit.

A petite girl, covered in black marks as if she had been burned, yet still retaining a glimmer of life.

Jibril.

Because of the excessive exertion of her power, her body has completely reverted to a tiny, girlish state.

"Because it was for 'protection,' you held back a little at the end... Is that what you mean?"

He pondered the meaning of the white wings' power and finally accepted this conclusion.

However, he showed no mercy.

Next, Accelerator raised his hand, and the pair of white wings behind him transformed into the sharpest blades in the world, attacking from both sides.

With just one strike, the Skywing girl before him could be utterly destroyed.

She could not possibly survive.

"don't want."

But before that, the sound made him realize what was happening.

Shubi, who had crawled up behind her, was frowning and calling out hoarsely.

"First and foremost, you cannot kill anyone..."

"..."

“Rick’s…rule…said this…don’t…kill her…Rick wants…no one…to have to die…”

"Trying to convince others with a statement that's practically self-deception—do you really think that's going to work?"

The voice, chilling to the extreme, was like a knife aimed at Hugh.

Shubi stood there, stunned, as Accelerator looked at her with indifferent eyes.

Yes.

Although the other party saved him, no one said he would do as he was told, and he was by no means a comrade.

"so."

The first one spoke coldly and ruthlessly.

"Before trying to persuade someone, at least state your demands before we start the war."

“…Huh?”

"What's the point of telling me all this now? Do you really think anyone would accept your opinion in this situation? Don't make me laugh."

Therefore, that is precisely why.

One-way passage caused the pair of white wings to vanish instantly.

He obeyed Schwi's wishes and did not kill the Skywing girl.

"Why are you…"

"Just consider it an add-on service, damn it."

The first monster clicked its tongue in displeasure.

"Just this once, never happen again."

Hearing those words, Hughie finally showed a relieved and relaxed smile.

"Very good…"

Chapter 571 An Overly Self-Conscious Bastard

I have already synchronized and linked with the entire machine.

Now, this feeling, this "heart," everything—will be passed down through my companions.

“That’s great… Rick… Hugh… really—really—”

Sizzle s ...

Because of Jibril's previous attack, she now only has about thirty minutes left to survive.

No.

After such a long battle, there may only be... a dozen minutes left.

Moreover, due to various reasons, it seems that even those ten minutes or so won't last any longer.

Hughie's body is completely falling apart from the inside.

There's absolutely no hope.

Accelerator walked up to her, looked at the scene, and frowned.

"Hey...you...are you human...right..."

"..."

"Shubi...your...last request...could you...give this...to...Rick..."

She used the last of her strength to move her only remaining left arm.

On his battered and bruised left hand, there was a dazzling light that no darkness could extinguish.

A silver ring.

That was what Rick gave her, the fruit of their love and hope.

Even at this moment when she was about to be completely destroyed, the first thing Hughie thought of was to protect the ring.

Even if she dies, she absolutely cannot let the fruit of her love with Rick disappear.

"So...Shubi...please..."

With her last ounce of strength, she managed to make the already fuzzy speaker produce a sound, just so that the person in front of her could entrust her with the past.

However, she didn't actually know whether the other party was a real human being.

The fact that he could display that level of power meant that he was undoubtedly stronger than Jibril, the strongest individual of the Skywing race. Killing him or destroying the entire human race at this moment would be a trivial matter for him.

The fact that the other party saved him does not mean that he has any reason to stand on Rick's side.

Despite not knowing whether this person was friend or foe, Hugh still chose to pray to him.

however.

"...Is this all you have to say when you're about to die?"

The white monster lowered its voice and stared at her with a glaring gaze.

"Do you think this means everything is over?"

"..."

"To laugh as you let your tragedy fall, then hand over the mess to someone else, and finally leave this world with a smug expression, as if you're quite satisfied?"

He spat on the ground in displeasure.

"You may think you're talking about some profound enlightenment, but to me it's just a pile of dog shit."

He ruthlessly trampled on the awareness that belonged to Shubi at this moment.

"That's...not...closed..."

“Listen up, I didn’t save you so you could die on your own with this kind of bullshit mentality. If that were all, why didn’t I smash you to pieces myself? What right do you have to ask me to do things for you? Get your facts straight. You’re just someone I saved on a whim, understand?”

then.

In an incredibly terrifying tone, the first monster continued.

"Because I saved you, I have the right to decide your fate."

"what…"

"You think you can leave this world with that kind of boring awareness and self-righteous smile? Who the hell do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Don't get too cocky. Since I saved you, don't give me that kind of bullshit thinking."

Even if the tone is extremely fierce, even if the words are very impactful.

Hughie understood what he was trying to say.

"I won't let your life go to waste like this."
