However, if they were to rely on airplanes, tanks, and other such things to fight, the outcome would undoubtedly be a crushing defeat.

and so.

"Anyway, I chose to unleash my strongest weapon right from the start."

If biological weapons are ineffective against those guys, they could even affect the surrounding seas and potentially impact the situation of the country itself.

In any case, this was Robert Kattley's last resort of resistance.

"...Intelligence has come from the front lines."

Not long after, an email was sent directly to his laptop.

"Huh? Any news?"

The female secretary looked over with surprise and delight.

"Then, what does it say on it?!"

"..."

Normally, Robert Catcher would probably respond to his female secretary with a nonchalant, even slightly joking, attitude.

But he remained silent.

Staring intently at the email displaying a string of English text, the president, who was more robust and athletic than most athletes, fell silent.

"Why...why did you suddenly stop talking?"

The female secretary herself felt fear.

Even when asked, Robert remained unmoved, saying nothing and staring silently at the screen.

She caught a glimpse of what was written above out of the corner of her eye.

then.

The secretary's eyes widened to the extreme in that instant.

"Nuclear bombs are completely useless; once they're killed, they just endlessly resurrect."

"Eh…?"

"It really turned out like this, haha... I was mentally prepared, but it was no use at all? That's really upsetting."

Swish—then, the signal on the other end of the email-sending line was forcibly cut off.

At the same time, Robert and his female secretary clearly sensed something.

The ground shook.

So, what does this mean? Even without explanation, it's clear what's happening on the front lines with the intelligence gathering teams.

thump.

In an instant, the female secretary knelt down on the ground, her eyes vacant.

"Nuclear bombs...are useless..."

"Don't lose your mind so quickly. This is nothing. The demon god Othinus was in far more danger back then than we are now. Well... although in terms of atmosphere, what's happening now is far more dangerous than what happened back then."

Even when facing the demon god Othinus, the leaders of various countries did not feel so desperate or hopeless.

But now it's completely different.

Forget about winning, there's not even a glimmer of hope for survival.

Not even a tiny bit can be seen.

Nuclear bombs are useless. Even if they were directly bombed, those guys could still regenerate instantly, or rather, be resurrected.

They will soon be approaching the US side.

Robert glanced at the bottom right corner of the screen, where another email made him frown.

"...Britain has fallen."

“…Huh?”

"The first place to be destroyed was London, and then, centered on London, Britain was completely destroyed in less than four hours..."

"Just kidding...it's absolutely a joke! Because in Britain, it's like—"

Britain is a famous magical country, that's what the female secretary wanted to say.

"I know."

Robert smiled helplessly.

"Even such a powerful magical nation has been wiped out, so tell me, what hope do we have left to survive?"

"..."

"But it doesn't matter. I predicted this possibility long ago. In fact, I saw through it when I heard that various countries were being destroyed and even Academy City didn't react much."

Faced with a barrage of devastating information, Robert Katz calmly got up and went to the window.

I lit a cigarette and started smoking, something I hadn't done in a long time.

"Aren't you... scared?"

Behind him, his female secretary, lying on the ground, was asking him the same question.

"Yes, I'm scared. Of course I'm scared."

The president exhaled a cloud of smoke and chuckled softly.

"...But it is precisely because I am afraid that I will not bow my head."

“I am the president of this country, Robert Catcher. If even I hide away and say there is no hope, that we will live in fear of death, then who will be able to make the people stand up again?”

Ultimately, even whether Earth can survive is completely unknown.

Robert was fully aware of all this, yet he still decided to step forward.

The reason is really simple.

"Alright... I should probably go too."

"Where are you going? There are monsters everywhere outside!!"

"It's nothing. You haven't forgotten who I am, have you?"

Ignoring his secretary's voice, Robert opened the door.

"I am the president, but at the same time, I am also the supreme commander of the U.S. military."

"As a commander, I would never watch my soldiers go and die meaninglessly, would I?"

They carried the burden of an inevitable death.

The US president has left this place forever.

Advance towards a battlefield where, under no circumstances can one possibly return alive.

puff-

I've lost count of how many times I've swung my knife.

Kanzaki Kaori felt as if even the bones in her wrists had stiffened.

puff! !

Countless drops of blood gushed onto her face, but the girl felt nothing.

She gritted her teeth and used all her strength.

I simply do my best to kill all the enemies in front of me.

but.

"..."

And who is lying in the distance?

The warriors of the Amakusa-style Cross Church who fought alongside him.

They all fell down.

The water behind, the Knight Commander, the Second Princess Kellya... all have vanished without a trace.

Even this building in Edinburgh was blown away.

Flames filled the air, and the land known as London was completely transformed into a bottomless crater. The devastating blow, stretching hundreds of kilometers, destroyed everything in a manner far exceeding that of World War III.

Laura Stewart, the chief bishop of the Anglican Church in England, has also disappeared.

"Only I'm left..."

I'm all alone now.

Such thoughts constantly washed over Kanzaki's heart.

Puff——!!!

She brandished the blade, but felt absolutely nothing.

The only flash... has been used countless times; the power of the Godslayer has surpassed its limits.

In other words.

She didn't even have the strength to clench her five fingers.

With a clatter, the saint's sword fell to the ground, her eyes grew heavy, and her breathing became uncontrollable.

*Pfft—Pfft pfft pfft—!*

Then, countless sharp blades pierced through her body completely.

Pfft—!

A large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from Kanzaki's mouth. Her abdomen was pierced, and her body was cut open, leaving her like a puppet, devoid of all life force.

The monsters can never be killed off.

No.

Every second, even every nanosecond, new monsters are created, and the strength of each monster continues to increase, making them impossible to kill no matter how hard you try.

This was far beyond what Kanzaki Kaori could handle.

In the distant sky, two shooting stars were desperately battling against countless monsters; they were Boros and Dante, powerful beings from another world.

But even they were powerless to prevent the destruction of Britain.

What are you thinking about in the last moments of your life?

Kanzaki Kaori understood that her power had completely surpassed its limits, and the side effects of the Godslayer Mode were no longer something this body could withstand.

From now on, there's only one possible outcome.

"...Survive..."

She wasn't thinking about herself.

Instead, he racked his brains, thinking about the person he still wanted to protect.

The petite, silver-haired nun in a white monastic robe.

You must survive... Index.

and also…

The image of the spiky-haired high school student, his back view, also appeared before Kanzaki's eyes.

"Protect...Touma Kamijou...protect...her."

The roars of the monsters continued to echo.

Minutes later, this area was completely washed away by the seawater that had been forcibly distorted.

Countless corpses were submerged in it.
