"So how should we deal with this? Let me make this clear first, I'm already exhausted from dealing with these bastards here. I don't have time to fly to other countries and wipe out all the bastards in those places one by one."

“I know, that’s why I didn’t plan for you to go somewhere else to kill those monsters.”

Takibayashi made that decision.

"I will consider ways to resolve this."

"Oh? You can take care of all the monsters in the world by yourself?"

"There are still ways. Since I can produce a satellite shield that even black holes can't penetrate, I can still think of a solution for a situation as small as Earth..."

"I've already said, don't expect me to help during this time. I also have things that I can't resolve even after racking my brains."

"Of course I understand..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Takibayashi's figure disappeared from his side.

Accelerator didn't care about his departure.

At the same time, he confirmed once again the series of actions of the monk below.

"M-Misaka!"

"This kind of guy... I can easily take out my Railgun and beat him up—!!"

"No, don't do it—!!"

Ignoring Touma Kamijou's words, Misaka Mikoto unleashed her powerful ace move in an instant.

A super railgun that fires game tokens at three times the speed of sound.

Some say that if this power exceeds its limit, it could even penetrate the main entrance of a nuclear shelter head-on.

The orange strike, unleashing an aura of defying the heavens, flew head-on towards the front of the mummy's body with a force that even shook the asphalt of the street.

--Snapped.

The demon monk casually swatted away Misaka Mikoto's Railgun.

It was like swatting away a fly, a clean and efficient motion that didn't require much effort.

The electromagnetic railgun, still warm from the fire, didn't even leave behind any smoke or dust.

The third ace was instantly defeated.

"Varied…"

"You should know where you stand by now, right? Touma Kamijou, relying on useless external things won't help you get out of this mess."

The aura of destruction was palpable.

The spiky-haired youth quickly pulled the nearly dazed Misaka Mikoto behind him.

Now, there's no time to care about the psychological impact the girl behind them is going through.

'Damn it… Misaka got involved because of me, but if I hadn't taken her with me, we would have definitely been affected by the demon! What should I do…?!'

Should we continue our escape on our bicycles?

However, the series of actions required a period of preparation time, during which the demon monk could easily kill him.

So... a direct confrontation?

Whether it's Touma Kamijou or Mikoto Misaka, the enemies they face are demons of the highest caliber.

A direct confrontation? Dream on.

"Hehehe... What's wrong? Realizing your actions were foolish?"

The monk uttered words that sounded like withered, rotten wood.

"If you've made that decision already, then I'll bring it on."

The impact of the demon god.

The destructive voice, unreserved and capable of completely dominating the world, reached our ears.

For a moment, Touma Kamijou felt as if all the muscles in his body were being crushed by some invisible force.

The demon took a step forward. Was it because of the oppressive feeling emanating from the monk's movements? Perhaps so.

After all, that was a demon god who was completely intent on killing.

No, that's not right.

The oppressive feeling... didn't come from the monk!

At the same time as realizing this fact.

Kamijou Touma couldn't help but look up at the top of his head.

"…oh?"

In the same situation, the abbot also raised his head.

boom! ! ! !

One punch.

The impact originated in Academy City and covered hundreds of kilometers around it, causing the ground within those hundreds of kilometers to cave in instantly.

The impact would cause the entire Japanese islands to sink to the deepest part of the sea.

"Guh-guh-ahhhhh!!!"

A mournful sound rang out, and the demon god, struck head-on by the attack, flew towards the horizon like a missile.

One person fell to the ground.

"Gurgle...!"

After seeing the person's true form, Touma Kamijou finally realized where that oppressive feeling came from.

white.

All that met the eye was a stark whiteness, as if the world itself had been erased.

The shadow of death will not allow any weakling to stand before it.

"...What the hell are you trying to do, kid, by staying in this godforsaken place?"

The white monster turned its head and spoke to Touma Kamijou behind it with an undeniable sense of oppression.

Words synonymous with ominous, distorted, and apocalyptic.

Accelerator is the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City, ranked number one.

In a realm where even demons are not allowed to exist, the term "ruling" descends upon this place head-on.

"what…"

And then, upon seeing that figure...

Misaka Mikoto, who was being blocked behind Kamijou Touma, underwent a change in expression.

That expression.

It became even more trembling.

Chapter 664 One side and the right side, both sides pass.

"Accelerator...?"

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, get out of here right now."

The first one casually raised his hand.

Such a simple action stirred up a hurricane powerful enough to blow away buildings.

boom--! !

Despite possessing Imagine Breaker, Touma Kamijou was still blown away by the hurricane, along with Misaka Mikoto beside him, and flew to the back.

He wasn't given a single chance to speak.

"…Hey."

At the same time, another voice rang out.

Standing in front of him was an old man, a mummy, dressed in a purple-gold robe.

"Is this a good idea? My target is Touma Kamijou over there. Hmm~ If we just blow him away like this, you should know what I'm planning to do next, right?"

A muttering sound came from the monk's mouth.

As a demon god, he is the only one of his kind in the world, a being who sits at the pinnacle of everything.

Meanwhile, Touma Kamijou, whom the monk was aiming for, had been trying to avoid him by riding that electric bicycle for some time, and he had been able to catch up with him at a relatively restrained speed.

But what if Touma Kamijou were blown away by Accelerator's slap, causing him to completely lose track of him?

…Then the premise would be completely different.

In other words, the monk, being a demon god, might very well turn this city upside down—and even upside down the planet.

All of this was done simply to bring the dazzling existence known as Kamijou Touma under his control.

"That doesn't matter."

but.

The human standing in front of him interrupted him abruptly.

He spoke in a very calm tone.

"After all, I never intended to take care of you or have you do my job in the first place."

"Oh dear, what an audacious statement! Young man, do you even know who this old man standing before you is?"

"Aside from that one-eyed woman wearing a witch's hat like before, you're the only one who can sense the same aura right now, right?"

One sentence completely revealed the identity of the monk.

The decaying mummy slightly narrowed its empty eye sockets.

He knew who the one-eyed woman wearing a witch's hat was—Othinus, who had recently caused turmoil in the world.

Since they know this, it means that the other party is also very clear about one thing.

The other party understood that he and Othinus were beings of equal status and position.

In other words, this native esper of Academy City knows that he is a demon god.

Knowing that he is an existence powerful enough to shake all the laws of the world.

"...Interesting. So you're not thinking about me from the perspective of Academy City, but rather you knew my true identity and the affairs of the magical realm from the very beginning?"

"Are you kidding me? If you're supposed to be a demon god, shouldn't you at least be able to figure out such trivial matters?"

After realizing that the monk seemed to genuinely look down on him, Accelerator's tone became even more menacing.

The tone was that of an evil emperor, as if he could oppress the entire world.

“I do know that you are a demon god.”

"Oh, if that's the case, why do you still have the audacity to stand here after seeing this old man..."

"So what? What does it matter to me that you're a demon god and I'm about to beat you up?"

silent.

As if witnessing something unimaginable for the first time in history, the monk was completely unable to utter the words he had intended to say.

He looked at the first person with great surprise.

"…I see."

After a moment, he finally managed to crack a smile.

"Now that you mention it, I didn't realize at first that... you've already been to the outside world."

"…ah?"

"Don't pretend you don't understand, I know it perfectly well."

This time, it was Accelerator's turn to be confused.

However, the monk would not allow his confusion to last long.
