Then, heaven and earth changed.

The phenomenon caused by the destruction had left the entire planet deathly still... but it was then enveloped in a gentle glow.

The black ash covering the sky dissipated, revealing blue skies, white clouds, birdsong, and fragrant flowers—the true form of this planet was presented to everyone.

For the first time, I saw the brilliance of the "sun".

All the races were amazed by this, and in an instant they all arrived at their respective zones, marveling at the world before them.

Ignoring all of this, Accelerator slowly moved forward.

He arrived at the front of the ruins, where he was.

Two figures had been waiting for him for a long time.

"It's going very well."

The man who could save the world, and the man who had one foot in the realm of gods—the two came together.

However, they emanated a faint, colorful glow.

"The 'fairy transformation' modification is complete, and it will have the same effect even on humans."

"So... based on the results of the technique's evaluation, it has at least achieved the effects of extending lifespan and healing injuries."

"Based on the estimated timeframe, it should last for approximately 892 years."

Ziga—their voices grew increasingly indistinct.

Originally, both Right Flame and Orelus possessed power comparable to Accelerator. If the Star Grail was going to appear beside him, there was no reason why it wouldn't appear beside two people of equal strength.

The reason that such a situation does not exist is simply because they are almost—completely—no longer exist in this world.

The body of the right-hand fire was unnaturally twisted, as was that of Orelus, whose summoning time had reached its limit.

These were their final words.

"In any case, I've finally had a good experience of a long-lost feeling... and I've also figured out which path I should take from now on."

"That's exactly how it is, just like this guy said... After you return to that world, there are still things that you absolutely cannot imagine waiting for you."

They each left behind a cryptic message and then vanished completely.

Accelerator stood still, surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, with beautiful pink petals rushing towards him like an ocean.

It then fell on the young man who had fallen to the ground.

He didn't say much, but simply lifted the young man who had fallen to the ground up.

At the same time, footsteps came from behind him.

"I've already done what I was asked to do."

It's Hatsune Miku.

However, at this moment she was wearing a Snow Future 2017 outfit.

She rushed to Accelerator's side and, after resolving everything, quickly completed the task Accelerator had assigned her.

That is--

"The power to manipulate Neptune...to restore a corresponding 'object'."

This is something only Snow Mirai 2017 could do.

There was a time when Yoshino's doll was destroyed, and Hatsune Miku did indeed use the power to manipulate the entire Neptune planet to repair such a small "item" as a doll.

Let's make a slight substitution.

If we were to substitute Hughie's own thoughts into it...

—If she still considers herself a "prop" in the end.

If her body were still made of machinery, but she possessed a corresponding personality consciousness—

Can this really be considered an "item"?

Anything that is an "object" can be reshaped from head to toe using the power of Neptune itself.

The outcome is self-evident.

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

Hatsune Miku savors the fragrance of flowers in this world... She hasn't seen such a beautiful sight in a long time.

"I suppose this is what we're supposed to do in this world? So, what's next—"

"Ah... that's how it is, but before that..."

He glanced calmly into the distance.

"...We haven't witnessed the end yet, have we?"

Chapter 580 Enjoy Your Last Moments

The world has returned to its original state.

No one knows what happened, and no one is clear on what caused all of this.

But in this world, the loudest voice resounded.

Everyone knows it. Everyone knows it.

"—O sixteen races that claim to possess intelligence!"

Sixteen races.

Even if we include all the races that have existed to this day, we still cannot reach this number... No.

The moment the sound spread, all the information was absorbed into everyone's minds.

"How could this be...?"

"How can this be!"

"It was...they...?!"

The leaders of the fifteen races—after confirming the true identity of the so-called sixteenth race—revealed an even more profound sense of shock.

"Immunity".

In other words, it means "immunity".

Perhaps these races have no idea why humans, who are nothing more than weeds to them and whom they have hardly ever seen, are given the name of a race.

But they also realized something.

The great war is over, and the "Star Grail" has been obtained by a certain being.

The "One God" who reigns supreme over all was born.

"Inherit the will of the dead! Abolish the inter-racial alliances and treaties, and swear an oath to the Ten Articles of the Covenant!"

Then, entirely new rules for this world were established.

That is a rule equivalent to an absolute law, a standard belonging to the "one God". From now on, no one will be able to violate it, and everything in this world must live in accordance with these rules.

There will be no more killing, no more war.

This will be a world where everything is decided solely by "games".

"At this very moment, the world will change... and I will prepare a game where no one dies, a game where everyone can have a great time!"

"bring it on--!!"

"The One God" special picture.

As the supreme deity who reigns above all in this world, he—loudly proclaimed to the entire world, to this planet reborn after the war.

"Let the game continue—!!!!"

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

As the One God says, the world has undergone an unparalleled transformation at this very moment.

No one will die, and no one can change this world.

Among them.

—The only existing distortion stood there.

"The 'Star Cup'... one of those optional conditions."

Amidst the endless sea of ​​flowers, a figure stands atop it.

Long purple hair, a figure as beautiful as a butterfly.

Between the palms of her hands.

A pitch-black, ominous shadow that seemed poised to engulf the world.

A pentagram is a polyhedron with a star-shaped dodecahedron.

—It is the "Star Cup".

But unlike the "Star Cup" that has now become the "One God," this... is the complete opposite.

If the "Star Cup" embodies the coexistence of creation and destruction, it allows people to feel an aura of absolute and sacred solemnity.

So this is the malevolent aura that seems to devour everything, existing solely for the purpose of distortion.

Completely opposite to the "Star Cup", but possessing the characteristic of being one-to-one, without any difference, and having all the power belonging to the "Star Cup" copied.

Such things were created.

And just like that, it was easily grasped in the girl's hands.

She strolled through the sea of ​​flowers, and at the same time, she tucked the "Star Cup" into her bosom—

Bang! !

A beam of light, traveling at speeds exceeding several times the speed of sound, shot towards them.

It was a pebble that had been kicked directly, hurtling towards the girl's body at speeds exceeding three times the speed of sound.

But the girl didn't even glance at it.

An invisible shield blocked the impact in an instant.

"...Is this what you're supposed to do?"

"How is it? Pretty, right? Even though it's not white, but black, it's nice to enjoy contrasting colors once in a while, isn't it?"

The first person to arrive from afar is standing in front of the mountain.

The two faced off in a sea of ​​flowers... and the first one knew very well who the person standing in front of him was.

He stared at the other person with wide eyes.

"If you possess the power to even steal the 'Star Grail,' then what exactly are you here for... Butterfly?"

Previously, she was a girl who escaped from Accelerator's White Wing attack... no, it should be said that she left at will.

"You've got it wrong. It wasn't stolen... the 'Star Grail' of this world is still in the hands of that one and only god."

"What…"

"You could understand if you just looked down a little, right?"

According to her, Accelerator glanced out of the corner of his eye at what was in front of him.

That's the shadow cast by the sun.

"Exterior and interior, inside and outside, yin and yang... these are the qualities that exist in you, me, and even the world itself."

As she spoke, Butterfly put away the dark black "Star Cup".

"All I can do is to arbitrarily control the yin and yang, the surface and the interior of things."

That is to say.

“That’s right… my goal isn’t the ‘Star Grail’ itself, but rather what is its complete opposite.”

The "Star Cup" represents the inside, outside, and yin aspects...

"Well then, without further ado, I've already got what I need. But in this world, it would be terrible if that boy named Tet found out... Although he can't possibly stop me, having him as an opponent in this world is still a bit of a problem... Well, although if I wanted to, I could wipe out this world, along with the 'Star Grail' itself and that so-called 'One God,' in an instant."
