Izumi had no intention of letting Aleister and the others shatter his world.
If this world were destroyed, it would simply reset.
Everything he had built—
Everything he had prepared—
Would be reduced to nothing.
That was unacceptable.
Fortunately, under the combined suppression of Izumi and Aleister Crowley, the power of the Magic Side had been pushed to its absolute limit.
Mystery itself was on the verge of disappearing.
Naturally, the strength they could exert had also dropped drastically.
But for Aleister—
This was paradise.
Because Izumi had weakened everyone else—
Except him.
Right now, Aleister had absolute confidence.
He could take them on.
All of them.
And more importantly—
He had finally grasped just how terrifying Izumi truly was.
"To suppress the Magic Gods… to this extent…"
Even Aleister couldn't help but feel a chill.
Meanwhile, the magicians on the battlefield felt it too.
That overwhelming suppression.
Their expressions twisted in shock and fear.
And Aleister—
Did not hesitate.
He struck.
A flash of blinding light—
And several weaker magicians were erased instantly.
No resistance.
No struggle.
Just—
Gone.
Aleister wasn't holding back in the slightest.
Even without Izumi's interference, he possessed the power to annihilate them.
Now that they were weakened?
It wasn't even a fight.
It was a massacre.
His true targets, however—
Were the Magic Gods.
"These pests…" he muttered coldly.
"They came all this way to die."
And so—
He showed them no mercy.
A storm of destruction swept across the battlefield.
The forces of the Roman Catholic Church were nearly wiped out in an instant.
Countless lives vanished.
No prayers.
No miracles.
Only annihilation.
Then—
Aleister made his move.
With a single gesture—
He dragged the remaining Magic Gods away from Earth.
Into space.
And just like that—
The Earth fell silent.
But above the sky—
Chaos reigned.
If one looked up—
They would see flashes of light, like fireworks exploding in the void.
Occasionally—
Even the moon appeared to be bitten away.
Chunks missing.
Craters forming in real time.
Those were the Magic Gods being slammed into it.
The entire world trembled.
"…This… is insane…"
"Is that… even human?"
Fear spread across the globe.
Back in Academy City—
Izumi watched everything with great interest.
"Go on… fight…"
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"The more the merrier."
"Preferably… take a few of yourselves down with you."
Completely satisfied, Izumi withdrew his gaze.
Then he turned to the others.
"Alright. Time to wrap things up."
"Pack your things."
"We're leaving."
He paused for a moment, then added—
"This world will soon merge with ours."
Akeno and Asagi exchanged glances, then nodded.
"Understood."
They immediately began packing.
At that moment—
Several familiar figures rushed into the lab.
Shirai KurokoUiharu KazariSaten Ruiko
They froze upon seeing the scene.
"Eh?!"
"Are you… running away?!"
Kuroko stared in disbelief.
Upon hearing her words, Asagi didn't explain much, but instead said:
"No. Just relocating for now."
"We'll meet again soon."
With that, she vanished instantly.
Kuroko's jaw dropped.
"…Since when did she have teleportation?!"
The three girls exchanged confused looks—
Then immediately rushed toward Izumi.
"Kyaa~! Onii-sama!!"
Kuroko launched herself at him without hesitation.
"I missed you so much!!"
Her face was filled with excitement.
During her time here—
She had completely fallen under Izumi's influence.
At this point, his position in her heart rivaled even that of Misaka Mikoto.
Izumi didn't mind her clinging at all.
Instead, he calmly spoke:
"Stay here. Don't go outside."
"It's chaos out there."
"Just wait until the battle ends."
He snapped his fingers.
Instantly—
A projection appeared in front of them.
A live view of space.
"…You've got to be kidding me…"
Saten's voice trembled.
"You're treating this like a livestream?!"
On the screen—
Only a few figures remained.
The Magic Gods.
And Aleister.
Meanwhile—
Coronzon was locked in battle with Aiwass.
Even in their weakened state—
Their battle was catastrophic.
Reality itself trembled.
Several Magic Gods were already injured.
The monk—
His robes torn apart.
Even the skull atop his head had been shattered.
Others—
Like Chimera and Proserpina—
Were covered in wounds.
And yet—
Aleister stood untouched.
Perfectly fine.
Radiating energy.
Still in that silver-haired少女 form.
Izumi's suppression had been absolute.
The Magic Gods—
Were being beaten down mercilessly.
Aleister, on the other hand—
Was enjoying himself.
Immensely.
Those beings who once stood above everything—
Were now nothing more than prey.
And deep down—
Aleister was far from the composed figure he appeared to be.
Right now—
He was having the time of his life.
At the same time—
He could feel it.
Izumi had begun.
The world itself was changing.
The suppression was increasing.
The Magic Gods were weakening further.
"At this rate…"
Aleister narrowed his eyes.
"They'll fall to human level soon."
He didn't need to win immediately.
He only needed to buy time.
Until Izumi fully seized control of the world.
Because once that happened—
The Magic Gods would never ascend again.
They would be reduced to ordinary beings.
Forever.
And then—
They would be nothing more than toys in his hands.
Meanwhile, the Magic Gods were panicking.
They had realized it.
Their authority—
Was gone.
"Damn it!!"
The monk roared, his turquoise eyes blazing.
"You really intend to go this far?!"
"Do you even understand what you're doing?!"
Aleister smiled.
"A foolish question."
"I'm already doing it, aren't I?"
He raised his staff.
"Enough talk."
"Come."
With a swing—
Countless meteors descended from space.
The battle reignited.
Inside the lab—
Kuroko and the others trembled.
"…This is insane…"
"What even are these people…?"
Saten's voice shook as she stared at the projection.
At this point—
It didn't even feel real anymore.
Like they were watching a movie.
Except—
This was reality.
