"Even if you ask me that, I have absolutely no idea... And Your Majesty! Even in the palace when no one is around, please be mindful of your manners!"

"This is absolutely not the time to care about such stupid things!"

An elderly woman with white hair, yet even so, her whole being still exudes a unique beauty and aura.

The Queen of England, the current head of state of this land, is a white-haired, blue-eyed woman named Elizabeth.

He inherited the British native holy sword, Katina II, through the throne.

The Queen is currently in a palace in England, and she is anxiously picking up the international telephone on the table.

A person who can receive a phone call from the Queen of England must be someone who can shake the entire world.

"...What's wrong?"

The call was connected shortly afterward.

"Don't tell me you're using this international phone number, which connects world leaders, as a tool for casual chatting with people."

"Idiot! President of the United States, haven't you encountered the same situation on your end?!"

"Ah...you mean those things in the sky? They do exist, but what can we do even if they appear? We can't deal with them anyway."

"What a cowardly fool! Anyway, whatever that thing is, it's now confirmed that it covers the entire globe, right?"

"...That's true. Even if we bombarded it with missiles, it probably wouldn't be enough to negate the damage, but at least I've contacted the leaders of the various countries in time."

"Oh? So you were already planning to contact me?"

"That was originally the plan, but because your personality is so awful, I decided to save the call for last."

"Those Americans are infuriating all the time!"

However, now that we have successfully made contact and confirmed that the black hole that suddenly appeared in the sky covers the entire world, we can officially begin our countermeasures.

Although I had considered whether that thing was the work of the demon god Othinus who had caused trouble not long ago, or the work of those guys called "Gremlin", there was no time to think about it now.

Just now.

The doors of the British palace were suddenly flung open.

"Report! Report—!!"

"...I don't recall ever asking you to open the door first before I reported it."

"I'm terribly sorry, Commander! But, but outside of Britain... no! The whole world has erupted into chaos!"

"If you were just saying that a bunch of black voids appeared in the sky, we would already know that, and there would be no need for you to tell us this..."

"That's not what happened!"

The arriving messenger interrupted the Knights Commander.

“Countless creatures emerged from those holes!”

"What?"

"Yes! Countless creatures that resemble humans but are not human have emerged from those black holes, and they have now reached British territory and have immediately begun an attack on the entire country!!"

The reporter's words left the Knight Commander and Eliza beside him completely stunned.

how is this possible.

From that black hole in the sky... creatures actually emerged?!

--------------------------------

"What does that mean...?"

The live performance featuring Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku has ended.

However, just as all the fans had left and the two were about to leave the concert venue, the concert ended.

Such an unusual phenomenon was then observed in the sky.

boom! !

Countless black ghostly figures fell continuously from the sky.

Some of them are enormous, while others appear to be only human-sized.

A massive black shadow bombarded the buildings in the distance, crushing countless structures in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, the small humanoid creatures kept landing on the street not far away.

And they launch attacks on all the humans they discover.

"What, what is that...?!"

"Even in Academy City, there shouldn't be such a bizarre thing!"

"Could this be... a movie shoot?"

Passersby all witnessed the scene in the sky.

then.

Those black humanoid monsters that landed on the street not far away had taken in the current situation of the residents of Academy City.

It then charged straight towards this direction.

"They're coming! Those guys are charging at us!!"

"Those aren't fakes, run! Those are real monsters!!"

Of the 2.3 million people, not everyone can wield superpowers that defy the laws of physics.

When passersby saw the dark figures suddenly pounce on them, they could only scream in alarm, not even having a chance to escape, and were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

BOOM! ...

A devastating hurricane swept through.

In just a short moment, all the monsters that originally intended to rush over and devour these passersby were instantly killed by this one blow.

A white figure appeared before the passersby.

"Go to the nearest shelter immediately."

"Ah...ah..."

"Academy City should have such places for refuge, so don't make me say it a second time."

“Wa ...

Upon seeing even more monsters appear in the distance, the passersby quickly ran towards the street behind them.

Accelerator curled his lip and slammed his right foot down on the ground.

An invisible impact tore the earth apart.

The monsters on the entire street were instantly crushed into dust by this attack. However, even after killing this batch, new monsters continued to fall from the sky to the ground.

boom--

Then a new tremor came from behind.

The first one didn't turn around, but something was definitely planning to launch a sneak attack on him from behind.

Bang! !

The enormous black shadow, which shattered buildings, was repelled by the invisible reflective membrane the instant it touched Accelerator's body.

The black shadow shot off towards the back of the street.

If it continues to crash into the back like this, countless buildings will be destroyed, and the people living behind them will inevitably suffer a considerable number of deaths and injuries.

before that.

Click! !

A massive layer of ice immediately enveloped the black monster's body.

The moment it was frozen, the ice block developed countless cracks and shattered in mid-air, along with the monster inside.

The person who came was Hatsune Miku.

After the girl landed directly on the ground, Accelerator turned his head to look at her.

"Those monsters all fell from the sky... What's going on?!"

“How would I know? But these things… are exactly the same as the creatures I saw in that dark space yesterday.”

"Eh…?"

The creatures Accelerator saw in that dark world yesterday are the very monsters now destroying Academy City.

The two looked towards the end of the street not far away, where a pure white light swept across.

Countless enormous monsters, each as tall as a building, were completely wiped out.

"What's going on, you bastard?"

Kakine Teitoku was flying in the sky, killing the monsters that were trying to destroy Academy City.

"Where did those holes in the sky come from? And what are these bastards? No matter how many we kill, we can't kill them all."

In an instant, he flew from the end of the street to in front of the two of them.

Nevertheless, they no longer needed to confirm with each other, because all three of them already knew what was happening in the city.

It covers a large number of black holes that span nearly the entire globe.

Black monsters kept emerging from these black holes.

What exactly caused all of this? Nobody knows the reason.

"…Hello."

It was at this very moment.

The three of them each saw what appeared to be a pink streak of light blooming in the sky.

"What it is?"

If you look closely, you'll see that it's actually a machine.

It is something like a satellite.

It passed directly through the atmosphere and into outer space, where it spread out and formed a pink barrier that could be projected across the entire Academy City.

Om-! !

The barrier completely enveloped the entire Academy City.

After that, any monsters that attempted to fall from the sky and rush into Academy City would be instantly burned to ashes upon touching the surface of the barrier.

"You're all here."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Looking back, Takibayashi was seen falling rapidly from the sky to the ground.

"Now, the pink barrier covering the entire Academy City is called Agis. It was originally designed to completely cover the satellite defense system worldwide, but that wouldn't be effective enough, so I used it to completely envelop the Academy City."

"Mr. Takibayashi?! What exactly happened just now... Do you know anything about it?"

"...I know a little bit at most."

He looked up at the sky with an indescribable expression on his face.

"These black holes are the same as the one that Yifang went into yesterday."

"In other words... the organization that accomplished all of this is probably called 'EvilEye'."

pat.

At the same time, they heard other sounds coming from behind them.

It happened in almost an instant.

A pink, butterfly-like streak of light shot towards them in an instant.

Accelerator glared at him suddenly.

He took a step forward, converging the vectors to a single point, and rammed into that radiant light with the purest of strikes.

boom--! !
