Kakine Teitoku immediately raised his hand.

Om-! !

A pure white sphere of light covered Hatsune Miku and Takibayashi's bodies.

But after the destruction in an instant.

Kakine Teitoku, who had already risen to the level of a fifth-tier esper in the Holistic Theory, actually only spent a brief moment...

They were wiped out.

In the pitch-black space, the only things that remained were the two glowing white spheres.

But even so.

The spheres enveloping Takibayashi and Hatsune Miku were also shrinking at an extreme speed.

"Miku...Mirai!!"

As everything in front of him vanished without any reason, Takibayashi could even see through the transparent barrier in front of him that Hatsune Miku inside the sphere in the distance was also disappearing along with the sphere.

I am the same.

"What...what exactly happened?!"

There was no way to get any answer.

All Takibayashi saw was pure blackness.

then.

Everything, really, all of it, has disappeared.

————————————————————————————

Aleister, Aiwass, Kakine Teitoku, Takibayashi, the humans who survived on Earth, and the demons in the even more distant "New World".

…and even the world inhabited by all the people connected to this world.

Everything has come to an end.

The process took less than a moment, and all that was caused was that eye staring intently at the world for a fleeting instant.

This is only the power of one eye.

The eye is just one of a person's organs, just like the eyes of a normal human being. All it has done so far is simply look at others, but that alone has caused such a huge and devastating blow to the world.

For the person with this eye, these things are really just as simple as looking at someone or glaring at them.

It is absolutely impossible to win.

…Even the butterflies that were protecting this eye were wiped out.

Nothing remains in all the worlds and all the concepts.

--No.

In the boundless darkness, there was a figure.

White in the darkness.

Previously, due to the previous battles, his body and mind, riddled with wounds, seemed to have lost all feeling.

Even though the injuries on his body remained unchanged.

Accelerator was indeed left in this void.

Everything was destroyed, but... why? Why was he the only one who survived?

Is it because Accelerator is strong enough that he won't be wiped out by that attack?

of course not.

He snapped out of his daze, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the only darkness before him.

…It's not just darkness.

On the left and right sides, there were two shimmering beams of light.

Accelerator shifted his gaze in that direction.

In the glow on the left, a petite figure lay there.

Within the radiance on the right, the girl's body floated suspended.

—By choosing just one person, everything can be restored to its original state.

This thought crossed Accelerator's mind.

"You...could you be that eye from before?"

no respond.

The other party seemed incapable of speaking directly, and also seemed unwilling to convey any messages to him directly.

Even so, this option still popped into my mind.

Before him stood two familiar faces.

My final work... Hatsune Miku.

We need to choose one person here so that everything can be restored to its original state.

Why would they do that? The reason is unknown, and the other party has no intention of telling me the reason.

—By choosing just one person, everything can be restored to its original state.

The words, like options, echoed once again in Accelerator's mind.

"Are you suggesting I choose to die alone?"

What a joke.

Whether it's Last Order or Hatsune Miku, he couldn't let them both die for something like this.

but.

No matter how Accelerator observes with his abilities, the world around him appears as if it were pitch black.

Everything was truly destroyed.

Even the system within me didn't react, so the opponent's power probably couldn't even interfere with the system. Maybe it wasn't just this world... but other worlds were also destroyed.

A world where absolutely nothing exists.

…Apart from the two people in front of me.

"asshole…"

For the first time ever.

He felt a mix of unease and confusion in his heart and mind.

"You bastard... What a joke!!"

Boom! His fist struck nothingness head-on, but it failed to create any ripples.

—By choosing just one person, everything can be restored to its original state.

Like an interrogation, a voice rang out, constantly urging him on.

"How could anyone possibly make a choice... you bastard."

The strongest in Academy City.

But at this moment, he can't change anything.

He gripped the two orbs of light before him, inside which slept two young girls... He had to choose one of them as a sacrifice.

It takes the sacrifice of one life to bring the world back to normal.

He must make a choice.

If the world cannot be restored, then everything before us will vanish in an instant.

This includes one side of the road.

This also includes the two girls in front of us.

…so.

"Isn't it enough to make a choice and sacrifice one person's life?"

He was silent.

If Last Order is sacrificed, its existence... will be lost forever.

Conversely, if Hatsune Miku were sacrificed, her existence would also disappear forever.

Both sides are a source of psychological support for each other.

Choosing either side will plunge him into a realm of despair.

He understands.

This so-called eye only wanted to see his despair.

—By choosing just one person, everything can be restored to its original state.

The voice urged Accelerator to proceed once more.

My heart is being destroyed, and the bodies of the two girls in front of me are slowly disappearing.

What should I do?

Who should be chosen? Who should be sacrificed to bring peace to the world?

"I…"

His voice trembled as he finally understood his own thoughts.

Yes.

Whether it's Last Order or Hatsune Miku... they are both pillars of his heart, and he would never let either of them die.

Yes, that's right.

If things continue like this, I will have to make a desperate choice.

"…snort."

But then, things took a turn for the worse.

Accelerator raised his head, and on his face... there was neither confusion nor despair.

On the contrary, the number one in Academy City always had a calm expression on his face.

“Isn’t the answer simple?”

then.

Faced with the two people in front of him, Accelerator made a choice.

"If you sacrifice one person's life, everything can be restored, and none of this will have happened...right?"

Puff——!!!

then.

Accelerator stood in front of the two beams of light, right in front of them.

Reflection has been removed.

He pierced his own heart with his own hand.

"Then let's do it this way, isn't that fine?"

Accelerator would never have chosen to sacrifice the lives of the two girls.

…but belonged to him alone.
