One-way traffic

The linear regression ignored the shattered windows in the buildings caused by the recent explosion and the panicked people on the surrounding streets.

He went straight back to the vicinity of a certain street.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

After retracting the enormous, rocket-launch-like device, the golden retriever returned to the entrance of the sturdy house.

Behind it is something that looks like a backpack.

The mechanical arm prepares a cigar for him and lights it.

It's clearly a dog, yet it's quite content, sipping a cigar.

If people outside were to see this scene, it would likely cause even greater unrest.

However, the golden retriever ignored this.

It slowly approached and came to the woman's side, and the woman looked at it with great ease.

"Today ended so quickly."

"It's earlier than expected."

The sound did not come from the golden retriever itself, but rather sounded like it was synthesized.

"However, in any case, the targets have all been defeated, so the mission can be considered over for now."

"Oh, that's wonderful!"

Kihara Yui.

At this moment, the woman who had previously triggered a series of events has become completely different from before.

She, who had previously displayed an attitude of looking down on everyone in the world, now treated the golden retriever with great respect.

This golden retriever is known as Kihara Brainstem.

"The evacuation situation around us is just as you requested, teacher. Everyone has taken refuge very calmly."

"That's good. Although the situation level is D, the falling glass and the shock wave from the explosion could still injure others... It's good that no disaster has occurred."

Kihara's brainstem spewed out a plume of smoke from his mouth.

"I'll go and check on AAA's condition first."

"oops?"

"After each battle, you must polish your weapon to make it shine brighter... Remember this, Yui-kun, this is a lesson that Kihara needs to learn."

"I understand. If I were Kihara, I would definitely remember those words well!"

Kihara Yui, who looked as if she had truly transformed into a high school girl, caused Kihara's brainstem to leave under her gaze.

But it's not in the place it claims to be used to adjust AAA conditions.

Ultimately, there isn't really such a place.

“Originally, Aleister would have done these tasks for me personally.”

No one knows more about this set of drive armor than that king.

"Anti-Art Attach"...abbreviated as AAA.

As the name suggests, this is a powered armor created to counter the magical realm.

The person who created this suit of armor was not simply a scientific expert.

He is also a scholar with an extremely high status in the field of magic.

however.

"Even with the AAA connection, I can confirm that your life status is still preserved as if you were alive."

"But even so, we still cannot determine your location."

The full potential of AAA can only be realized by connecting with a specific person.

Just now, that strike that pierced through the giant meteorite should indeed have connected with a human's body and consciousness.

…But that person is not currently in Academy City.

Even Kihara himself didn't know where he had gone.

Not only that.

It wasn't just that human's affair; all sorts of terrifying things were happening in this city... no, in all parts of the world.

The golden retriever raised its head and looked at the pink protective shield in the sky that enveloped the city.

and.

After all.

"Even the one who killed the Demon God Monk wasn't me."

That's right, Kihara's brainstem is very clear.

His attack had not killed the demon god at all; the only thing damaged was the huge meteorite.

But he clearly sensed that the Demonic Monk was already dead.

So, if you don't do it yourself.

And who exactly did this?

"...this city, no, this world."

He smoked a cigar while gazing meaningfully at the world around him.

"What exactly happened?"

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

"Oh, one of the demon gods has been defeated."

White and red hair, golden eyes.

The God of the Demon Realm is currently standing in a corner of this city.

Of course, he already knew about the demon monk's previous experiences.

"...It actually made a move? For a mere demon god from a single world, it actually made a move."

The demon god was expressing this with a somewhat incredulous tone.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"But whatever, my real goal isn't to completely kill all the demon gods anyway, and they're not at their peak strength. Let them do whatever they want from now on..."

"Oh dear, that won't do."

A voice that leans towards gentleness.

but.

The moment the Demon God heard this voice, he felt an unparalleled aura.

—Killing intent.

"I will not let any demon god go... no matter what state or situation they are in."

pat.

The god turned around, and what appeared behind him was... only a high school student.

Brown hair, medium build.

If you put him on the street, you might not be able to find him; he's just a high school student you can see anywhere.

From him.

The Demon God did indeed sense the unparalleled killing intent.

"…oh."

But he was not alarmed by it.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that something at this level is simply not enough to do anything to him.

"And who are you, kid?"

"If you also consider yourself a demon god, then I can choose that option."

"...You've got the wrong person, kid."

Upon hearing that it was highly likely a case of mistaken identity, the Demon God couldn't help but frown.

"Although I am indeed a demon god, there is still a big gap between me and the concept of this world."

"Well, it doesn't matter, we can just eliminate them all at once."

then.

As if with a casual gesture, the high school student raised his hand.

His own right arm... the shadow beneath that arm then enveloped the Demon God.

then.

He then uttered a very bland sentence.

"—Want a new world?"

Chapter 672 Vegito and Gogeta

"How is the situation now?"

"I can't sense the abbot's presence; he may have already escaped."

"Do you really think that bastard who's a demon god would run away?"

"...Then explain to me why his aura suddenly vanished without a trace?"

Accelerator and Right Flame are still in Academy City.

They had intended to deal with the demonic monk immediately, but after observing for a few minutes, they confirmed that the demonic monk's aura had completely disappeared from the city.

As a result, almost all the glass in the city was shattered in an instant.

Of course, this has no impact on the two of them at all.

White and red figures stood on the street, letting the scattered shards of glass glide across their bodies.

Gradually, Accelerator began to fix his gaze on the distant sky.

"Don't you notice that there's something else out there in the sky? I've always found that thing really annoying."

"What, even you want to break through that pink dome that imprisons this city?"

"Don't look at it so superficially, feel it from a distance."

Following Accelerator's advice, Right Flame gradually came to understand the situation.

"...It does look like there's something outside."

It's not just about the outer layers of clouds, or superficial locations like a few hundred or a few thousand meters away.

That's probably an area located in the stratosphere.

"Approximately tens of kilometers from the ground, huh...?"

Even the Right Fire couldn't help but murmur.

What is clear is that an incredibly vast energy aura was generated in that region, which is close to the atmosphere.

If you want to stop it, you have to go to that kind of place.

A place with thin air and unusually high temperature differences is definitely not a place where humans can survive.

However, that's nothing to worry about for people like Right Flame and Accelerator.

However, if a demon god like the monk still exists in this academy city, he would probably become completely unruly after they leave.

By then, there will be no one left who can stop a being like a demon god.

"What should we do? You stay here and I'll go up, or the other way around?"

"I don't want to think about either of them."
