Obvious cracks have appeared.

"Tsk!"

Upon noticing this, he released his hand without hesitation, allowing the crack to expand instantly.

Bang——! ! !

In less than a second, the longsword was reduced to dust along with the light particles.

"That really hurts! Using something that long to attack someone, didn't you even consider the fact that I'm a girl?"

The butterfly that was hit directly was completely unharmed.

This is understandable, because even Accelerator's "paranoid delusions," which are capable of severing all time and space and can destroy all dimensions in an instant, cannot harm his body. How could such an attack possibly damage him?

Moreover, Takibayashi had already calculated that his attack would not be effective.

At this moment, everything he is doing is not for the purpose of defeating his opponent.

It was simply to keep her occupied in this kind of place.

"They've already seen through it. One of your abilities is to unconditionally materialize certain weapons, right?"

"And that's not enough. You can only materialize about most of the power of these weapons, not all of it. Hmm~ If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to know the techniques for using these weapons in an instant, right?"

Most of them are correct.

This power was one of the abilities that Takibayashi gained after traversing countless hellish worlds.

Based on consciousness, one manifests the weapons one knows.

His scope is not limited to the concept of "weapons". Basically, he can create any item that can produce an effect in battle using his own consciousness.

The cost of constructing it is merely the mental effort required to materialize it from the mind into reality; no matter what kind of weapon is being created, it does not require much mental effort.

But as Butterfly said, he could not fully manifest the full power and destructive force of these weapons.

In addition, he can also fully inherit the skills and techniques for using this weapon.

It has an effect very similar to an ability called "Unlimited Blade Works" that I know of.

…But if it is something too extraordinary, he will ultimately be unable to manifest it.

"What's wrong? You suddenly look so gloomy, that might cause wrinkles."

"You saw right through my abilities, how could that possibly make me happy?"

Try to use language and force to delay the other party.

At this moment, Butterfly is planning to launch an unparalleled attack on the entire world. If she is not stopped here, this planet will suffer an even more devastating disaster.

Incidentally, they are still located in Academy City.

Therefore, Takibayashi did indeed see the strange phenomenon that had just appeared on Agis.

"The protective shield I built outside this city, you just tampered with it, didn't you?"

"No way~ They're standing right here, how could they possibly get to such a high place to tamper with your satellite?"

Butterfly spoke with great ease, as if the person standing in front of her was merely a little brother from next door.

"But you should have noticed it at least a little bit, right?"

"While I certainly didn't tamper with your satellites, the world is now in a more turbulent state, isn't it?"

You can feel it.

Strangers appeared from afar, from all over the world...

They do not belong to this world; they are all beings from different dimensions.

No one knows what their arrival will bring to the world.

"This is also thanks to your organization...?"

"Don't joke around. Even we don't have the time to let so many people from other worlds come to this world one by one through different portals."

At first, Takibayashi thought that Cho was just saying that casually.

But he noticed that the other person's face showed no intention of lying.

"Nothing to be surprised about, is it? In the end, what need do I have to lie to someone as weak as you, someone I can crush at any moment?"

She smiled again and raised her head, as if she were not looking at the sky, but at something beyond the sky.

Why do you insist on blaming us for everything?

"what?"

"Think about it carefully, is it really something we would do to make different worlds intersect and allow people from different worlds to meet each other?"

Could it be—that you're saying something?!

"Oh, it seems you've thought of that! Good job! It saves others the trouble of explaining."

"How could that be... You mean! The reason these people from different worlds are in this world isn't because of you, but because of...!"

It can bring people from all over the world together.

A power that allows people from countless different dimensions to intersect in different worlds.

That's right, that's simply not the kind of power that Butterfly's organization should possess.

This should be something that Takibayashi and Accelerator are both very familiar with.

That is to say-

"That's right. The reason why these different worlds are intertwined like this is simply because of your incredibly trusted system~"

The system has the ability to allow users to travel to other worlds.

Conversely, it also possesses the ability to allow other worlds to intersect.

This is why Hatsune Miku's original world merged with Accelerator's world.

The largest riots so far have not been accomplished by the enemy at hand.

…but rather it is caused by these systems buried deep within their souls.

"...What kind of joke is this?"

"Your expression is starting to waver. Are you beginning to wonder what you're fighting for here?"

"If that's the case... then why did you guys come to this world in the first place...?"

"That's not something you should know. Rather, the fact that I've been willing to talk to you this much already shows that I think highly of you, doesn't it?"

Boom——! ! !

An unprecedented aura of destruction emanated from overhead once again.

That was something in the stratosphere, causing destruction against the Agis that Takibayashi had released to protect Academy City.

Keep in mind that this is a shield that can completely withstand the pressure inside a black hole.

If even a shield of this magnitude can be shaken, it is enough to demonstrate just how immense the power of that thing in the stratosphere truly is.

"This is bad... If this continues, the protective shield will fail!"

It was defeated.

Although Takibayashi still possesses the remaining two Aegis satellites, he cannot activate the other two while one Aegis is activated.

Moreover, the most important thing is not just that Aegis was destroyed.

Rather, it destroys the very existence of this protective shield.

To prove its strength, it must far exceed the total power inside a black hole.

Bang! ! !

Before Takirin could get up and head to the edge of the Aegis Shield, his body had already fallen to the ground as if he had been hit by a boulder.

Its entire body was subjected to the same destructive pressure.

"Gurgle—?!"

"Well, okay, I'm pretty much done playing around with this too. You looked really cool trying to stop me, but I really don't have the energy to lower my standards anymore."

Once Butterfly unleashes her full power, Takibayashi will be completely unable to resist her.

This was a blow from which there was absolutely no chance of retaliation.

The girl gently raised her hand, and that seemingly casual movement contained a power that seemed to erase the entire world before her.

Takibayashi has reason to believe it.

If she were to actually do that, the world before her would shatter in an instant.

We must stop her.

But right now, he couldn't even move a finger.

"Well then, shall we say goodbye for now?"

Butterfly smiled and lowered her hand.

——Bang! ! !

But only a moment later.

The dazzling aurora beam blasted her away almost instantly.

"...Hey, it's such a shame that such a rare beauty is planning to do something so ridiculous."

A bland, unremarkable voice came from behind.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Takibayashi quickly stood up and looked at his own depths.

A figure came rushing in.

He wasn't heading towards Takibayashi, but straight ahead, towards the butterfly that had just been blown away by that aurora beam.

The other person swung their fist.

—Such a seemingly insignificant event has already caused the entire Earth to tremble.

That's right.

This person gave him the feeling of being as powerful as the number one in Academy City.

Boom! ! !

The immense force forcibly tore the ground apart for approximately ten kilometers.

Despite the terrifying spread of power, the outburst was precisely suppressed, preventing any damage to any buildings.

Not only that.

Directly opposite the point of impact, there was another figure.

He casually formed his hand into a fist and punched forward.

boom! !

Although the butterfly's body was not instantly sent flying, it did indeed suffer a very powerful impact.

"Oh no, this won't work."

A man's casual voice came along with it.

"Who...you are?"

"Well, although the premise is a bit strange, I have indeed come to such a place."

pat.

He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and brown trousers.

She has short, blond hair and wears cat-ear-like headphones around her neck.

The other person was completely bald, with nothing in his hands, and wore a red and yellow outfit with a white cloak fluttering behind him.

They were such ordinary people.

An unprecedentedly powerful aura suddenly appeared on their bodies.

"I am Izayoi Sakamaki. This is a friend I met on my way here. Well, she's a really nice person."
