This is a scene reminiscent of a nuclear bomb impact.

Such immense and irresistible power, almost as if it were a joke, blew away the jungle, tore the earth apart, and even crushed space itself—a pure force.

Bang.

Accelerator's reflexes deflected the entire attack from his opponent.

"Huh~?"

The voice came from the attacker's mouth; she cried out in such a delicate voice that she was immediately thrown back.

Boom!! The stone pillar on one side collapsed as a result of the reflected figure crashing into it.

——Huh?

"What happened...?"

Hatsune Miku stood there, blinking as if she hadn't turned around yet.

This doesn't mean her visual nerves can't keep up with that level of speed. As long as she uses her mental power to enhance herself, she will definitely be able to capture supersonic speeds or even higher.

But what just happened... was just too abrupt.

She sensed no malice or hostility whatsoever.

That's simply the same idea as dealing with them with a smile.

This overly pure and almost illusion-like situation completely isolated Hatsune Miku from any spiritual perception of hostility.

Nevertheless, the first-place team still managed to turn the tide thanks to their long-standing and undefeated reflexes.

Accelerator stood in front of the girl, looking towards the very center of the smoke and dust.

"The fact that you're here means you're the second lackey that guy sent."

"Lackey? That's an awful term! And judging my stance so quickly is a very unwise choice, isn't it?"

With a crash, the figure that had been sent flying indeed rose from the collapsed rubble.

As they had seen before, it was a woman.

She appears to be taller than Accelerator, but she is a stunningly beautiful blonde.

Her clothing resembled that of a tribal people, evoking images of a secluded ethnic group.

"I think you all believe that they are enemies sent by those two people, right?"

"Huh? Aren't they in cahoots?"

"No way, things aren't that simple, little girls~ Your intense battle just now was truly a sight to behold! However, you two seem completely oblivious to the fact that this area is actually someone else's territory~"

Ah…! Hatsune Miku immediately realized this.

Nearly 60% of the entire forest was affected by the recent battle, and this place was no exception.

In front of the altar-like temple, burn marks can still be seen.

They... never imagined that anyone would live in this desolate forest.

This clarifies why the other side suddenly attacked them: the aftermath of their battle involved others... that was their problem in itself.

"We...we accidentally ruined your...I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"Oh my, what an adorable little girl! She gave such an unexpected reaction."

The woman smiled with obvious delight at Hatsune Miku's immediate apology, as if she knew she had made a mistake.

"However, big sister isn't that hard to talk to, hmm! As long as you meet her needs a little bit, this level of impact is nothing!"

"Huh...? Do you mean you want us to pay compensation?"

But we don't have that much money in this era... Ugh, are we supposed to talk to King Gilgamesh about this and borrow money from him?

"How long will it take to pay it all back then?" Hatsune Miku thought to herself with some worry, wondering how she could possibly make amends to the woman in front of her for her mistake.

Then, the blonde woman opposite them walked over gracefully.

"Big sister, I never even considered using money to pay off my debts!"

"Huh? So, you mean...?"

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

Seeing Hatsune Miku's puzzled expression, the blonde woman touched the corner of her mouth with her finger and said as if deep in thought.

—In that very instant.

The blonde woman, with a smile, strode off.

At the level of transonic speeds.

boom--! !

At the same instant, the white shadow kicked out with its right foot in the simplest of ways.

"oops?"

The punches and kicks from the two men converged at one point, and the aftershocks blew away all the surrounding rubble.

Boom! Then, affected by some kind of pure force, the blonde woman was sent flying backwards like a rocket.

——Huh?

What happened just now?

"Stop overthinking, you stupid woman. Take a good look at this guy's face."

Accelerator's voice came from beside me.

At that moment, the blonde woman smiled.

She bent over, obscuring her face, and smiled little by little.

"There's nothing to be surprised about, after all, they already said it, didn't they?"

And so, she continued to smile at the two of them.

But he looked at them with a terrifying smile that no one could have imagined.

"I have no interest in money. If you want repayment, give me both of your lives."

"Give me this pinnacle of 'good,' the hand of Quetzalcoatl, the goddess of Venus!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the woman charged at the two of them again.

Moreover, it fell from a great height, like a cannonball.

At this moment, Hatsune Miku was fully awake.

Ultimately, if they were truly innocent people caught up in this mess, how could they possibly perform a maneuver at speeds exceeding the speed of sound?

"Take this! Flying pounce!"

"Ugh——!"

The girl quickly changed her outfit to a battle pose from Magical Future 2019 and immediately entered battle mode.

She instantly dodged to the right.

Boom! The moment the opponent landed, a huge crater appeared on the ground.

The sheer impact blinded the girl, while the first monster remained unaffected, standing motionless.

Then he turned his eyes around.

Bang! A pebble shot out from under Accelerator's feet as he moved.

It surpasses the firepower of the Zeus ship's main gun, and even surpasses the atomic collapse attack of the fourth-ranked ship in Academy City.

That force struck the woman instantly.

"Hatsune."

"I understand!"

She said no more and raised her wand again.

Mental energy is converted into magical energy, which then converges at a single point and explodes forth.

Bang——! ! !

The powerful magic cannon, with its heaven-defying momentum, blasted the opponent deep into the forest in one go.

"Well done! Great shot!"

"Varied…?"

But the response immediately stunned the girl.

pat.

Ahead, on the ground lay an unharmed golden figure.

Quetzal Koyatl—that's exactly what the other person called him.

The goddess of Venus, such a being, directly endured that magic cannon shot right in front of the two of them—what happened next?

"Completely unharmed."

"Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it!"

Despite taking a direct hit from Accelerator's cannon, along with Hatsune Miku's magic cannon, the opponent remained completely unharmed.

The blonde goddess chuckled and raised her hands.

"After all, you represent pure 'goodness'."

"Goodness...? What does that mean?!"

"It's exactly what it sounds like! As long as 'good' exists, it can't hurt her. It's that simple! After all, she's the goddess who represents the pinnacle of 'good'!"

Quetzal Koyatl…

Although it doesn't feel like a normal person's name, what does this name mean...?

"You bastard, you just called yourself a goddess?"

Unlike Hatsune Miku's thoughtful consideration of her name, Accelerator quickly grasped the key point.

He looked at the other person, and the goddess who called herself Venus also turned to look at him.

but.

His expression, however, had softened considerably compared to before.

"Ah...yes, yes, you really have some issues that even I, as your older sister, don't know what to say about."

"Stop talking nonsense. You're one of those 'Three Goddess Alliance' members?"

Accelerator has not forgotten the power structure that Enkidu told them before they first came to this world.

In this world, three goddesses plan to attack Uruk, seize the Holy Grail, and ultimately control the entire Age of Gods.

One of the goddesses is the Beast Goddess who rules over all magical beasts.

If we extrapolate from this situation...

"Yes... I am a member of the 'Three Goddess Alliance,' one of the goddesses within it, the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, representing the benevolent goddess of Venus."

The name has been introduced several times, although previously it was just a somewhat lengthy pronunciation.

But now it seems perfectly reasonable.

"Haha, anyway, those so-called gods and heroes in mythology all like to give themselves long and stinky names, so that you can recognize them immediately."

"Oh dear... you're the first person to comment on God's name like this, little brother..."

Quetzal looked at the two of them again with a meaningful expression.

Especially in Accelerator's case.

"The girl over there is alright; at least I can tell she's genuinely 'good.' But you're completely different."

"There exists both 'good' and 'evil,' but upon closer inspection, it's not quite like that at all. It doesn't belong to 'good' or 'evil,' yet it simultaneously possesses the properties of both... But even this viewpoint is merely an illusion."

"Seriously, I'm getting more and more excited about how this battle with you will turn out!"

Boom! ! !
