— "Sky Strike" is the strongest power of the God of War, Althu.

If we can withstand this attack, then everything will be fine.

then.

As Sink caught his breath, in the sky—

A dazzling light, like that of a star, fell to the ground.

"Varied--?!"

The shimmering light that rose up was something that seemed to rival the brilliance of a star.

"Sky Strike".

The unique attack method of the Skywing race was released in an instant.

Towards the direction of these alliances.

"How can it be?"

"Report! Estimated enemy 'Sky Strike' fire exceeds 1200 rounds! Should we engage immediately?!"

The Skywing's "Sky Strike" possesses immense power, capable of destroying an entire city with a single strike.

That kind of power—a full twelve hundred shots were unleashed?!

"No...no!"

The nature of the elf is not quite right.

If it were a Sky Strike released by the Skywing race, its power shouldn't be so low. Moreover—the nature of that elf naturally reminded Sink of another race.

"Is it a fake Sky Strike from a machine gun...?!"

A closer look at the direction of the attack reveals that it was not actually released from inside Abant-Heim.

Instead, it's from behind it.

But now, even if we realize this, it's too late.

Most people, except for Sink, believed it was an attack by the Skywing race, and so—

The signal to start the war was officially raised with this round of "Sky Strike".

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

"Ha, it certainly looks like that."

On a distant cliff, two figures were watching everything that was happening.

Accelerator looked up at the sky, where, around Abant Heim, an unparalleled celestial attack was bombarding the combined forces of the forest elves and goblins with a force that seemed to engulf everything.

Just as Sink had predicted, it wasn't a move released by the Skywing race, but a fake technique created by the Machine race using their own racial characteristics, with about 70% of its power.

Nevertheless, the 1,200 Sky Strikes, a massive force capable of influencing the fate of this planet, have been regarded by the Alliance as a signal to declare war.

"After such a massive force, that guy called the God of War will probably make his move too."

Of course, since the other party is the strongest god-like species in the world, they must be able to realize that this is a machine-type acrobatics—and even realize that the mastermind behind all this is the "monkey (human)" that no one in the world cares about.

So what? For Accelerator, that should be the basic requirement.

If someone can't even detect these kinds of subtle thoughts, then they don't deserve to call themselves "the strongest."

"Human settlements... is it really okay to just leave them like this?"

“I have fully deployed the spacetime barrier that they cannot detect. Now, even if all the heavenly strikes of that level were to fall near that settlement, they would not harm a single person inside.”

Hatsune Miku and Accelerator stood together on the edge of the cliff.

They gazed at the brilliance bursting forth from the sky, as if the world were frozen in that moment.

"This still doesn't count as a battle."

"...Next, we'll head into the interior of that battlefield."

correct.

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku also approached Riku together after that.

Regardless of his intentions, Accelerator did not want to see the world degenerate into such a boring war; that would be too ridiculous.

He had absolutely no interest in things like the "Star Cup" or the One God.

The reason he took action was simply because he felt that this world made him extremely unhappy.

Smash anything that annoys you, and tear apart anything that blocks your view or gets in your way without hesitation.

This is a common pattern of action.

According to Riku's plan, after the Machine Gundam unleashes "Pseudo-Scripture: Sky Strike," it will then use itself as a countermeasure to create an weapon capable of reproducing about 70% of the destructive power of this battle's clash of forces.

In the final moments, Althu will fall into an extremely weak state after unleashing "God's Strike".

In this situation, Accelerator was responsible for rushing into the temple and extracting the essence of the God of War, while Hatsune Miku relied on the power of the remaining Machine Gundams to suppress the riots on the entire battlefield.

Everything was planned out; everything was like a perfect plan.

but.

As a price, the Machine Type... will lose nearly five thousand units.

"We are all tools, we are just mechanical bodies without hearts. Even if we are destroyed or damaged, it is no problem."

"The loss of items is not included in the scope of 'life' casualties."

Props... Ah.

"What's wrong...Yifang?"

The sound of Hatsune Miku calling from the side brought him back to his senses.

"nothing."

The first person shook his head.

However, his thoughtful expression still left Hatsune Miku somewhat puzzled.

"Alright... it's about time to go up."

"Huh? But, according to that Mr. Rick..."

"'You can only act after you've unleashed even 'God's Strike'...' That's what he said, right?"

And so, Accelerator repeated Rick's demands to them, and then headed even further towards the sky.

He went against Rick's plan.

"The plan has been made, but that doesn't mean we have to follow the plan that guy gave us, right?"

"But, but—?!"

If we don't follow Rick's plan, what should we do...?

Hatsune Miku cannot understand this.

"You don't really think it's a smart thing to let those idiots sacrifice more than five thousand individuals, do you?"

"...You won't...?"

"I don't care what those guys are thinking at all. So what if that's how the plan was arranged?"

Rick's plan for them was far too elaborate.

If even one link in the chain goes wrong, it can cause problems for the entire plan, ultimately leading to chaos in the outcome.

If it fails, the aftershocks of "Godstriking" and attacks from various factions will bombard the surface from all directions.

despite this.

Accelerator's face still showed an air of complete ease.

"...It was my fault."

Realizing this, Hatsune Miku sighed somewhat dejectedly.

"I've been with you the whole time, yet I couldn't even guess something so simple. I'm really quite stupid."

"That's a fact. The fact that you're only realizing it now proves how incredibly stupid you are."

"This...this is practically an insult! This is outrageous!!"

After hearing the other person's evaluation of her, Hatsune Miku pouted somewhat unhappily.

The entire oppressive and heavy atmosphere seemed to dissipate along with it.

"...Although, it is not something a lady should do to disturb your enjoyment at a time like this."

——Click.

But then—

Under their gaze, the world before them cracked as if it were shattering.

"But when being intimate with each other, shouldn't we be mindful of how others perceive us?"

Bang! ! !

In an instant, the space and world that had been cracked were shattered into dust.

The space beneath their feet instantly became like empty space.

“Wu——?!”

Hatsune Miku's body immediately fell downwards.

Despite relying on mental power to control himself to fly, he still couldn't stop himself from falling.

Then—the first person raised their hand.

During their descent, six dark black, spike-like generators acted as a barrier, catching their bodies.

Boom!

And in that pitch-black world that stretched out like an abyss.

The light and shadow created by countless particles appeared before my eyes.

"who is it?"

"Nice to meet you... However, I have secretly observed you many times before."

The emerging light particles—those were purple butterflies.

The glowing butterflies gathered together, and gradually, they coalesced in mid-air into a tangible human figure.

Long purple hair, dressed in purple and white.

She was a girl who looked to be about seventeen years old and had a somewhat sinister aura.

"Thank you for taking care of my previous work. Speaking of which, it's really surprising that someone like DO Apis would actually take action because of you. It's as if they've grown up too much."

wow-

A shimmering folding fan had materialized in the girl's hand without her noticing.

You can call me "Butterfly."

Like a butterfly of light, it gives people a feeling of floating on air.

The girl with that kind of aura stood casually in the void, chuckling as she spoke.

"Well then, nice to meet you~ Miss, the number one idol and songstress of Academy City, I've come to try and interfere with your plans~"

"—Then, if you can't get through this, be prepared to die forever in this endlessly extending void tale."

With a gentle and touching expression.

The girl who uttered such cruel words appeared like a butterfly in front of the two of them.

A purple-white radiance shone forth.

Before the two could react, a swarm of butterflies swept over them like a storm.
