- (I will save this world. You are no longer necessary to do that.)
- Fiamma thrust his third arm that now clearly had a physical form toward the boy who
- still had great amounts of blood gushing from his shoulder.
- “You should be honored, you mass of flesh. You managed to carry out your purpose in
- life.”
- That would settle it.
- His third arm was no longer incomplete and it no longer continued to shake awkwardly.
- The destruction he could carry out was different from the destruction that could be
- created by the 103,000 grimoires.
- He held the power to save the world.
- He held the power at the core of a legend.
- He was known as The One Above God.
- If it was necessary, he could easily smash the no longer needed adaptor with an
- overwhelming explosion of light that could turn an entire planet to dust.
- It would have been odd if he could not.
- “...?”
- In that instant, what Fiamma of the Right felt first was not anger or fear. It was doubt.
- There was not a scratch on the boy who should have been turned to ash.
- In fact, the great swirl of light Fiamma had fired had split in two right in front of the boy
- and scattered to either side of him. Yet that attack had held such power that it could
- blow away a planet or recreate any of the legends in Christianity.
- It was almost like...
- It was almost like it had been blown away by an invisible right hand stretching from the
- wound on the boy’s shoulder.
- “What...?” Fiamma of the Right said still not having grasped what had happened.
- He could not stop the words spilling from his own mouth. They grew and grew like a
- snowball rolling down a slope.
- “I took your right hand. So why do you still have that power!?”
- No response came.
- The boy merely hung his head down while his cheek was wet with his own blood.
- An invisible power gathered.
- It gathered in that right arm that should not exist. It gathered beyond that wound.
- (...)
- Fiamma moved only his eyeballs to look at what was growing from his own right
- shoulder.
- He had indeed taken in that boy’s right hand and that hand that he had made his own
- flesh and blood still possessed Imagine Breaker, the unique power to negate all
- supernatural powers.
- Then what was the power gathering inside the enemy before Fiamma’s eyes?
- (Something...)
- Fiamma felt his lips quickly drying up. He had finally acquired the right arm of Imagine
- Breaker. He had made all sorts of major preparations in order to obtain that strange
- right hand that acted as the final key. As long as he had his own power and that boy’s
- right arm that had been disassembled and reorganized into a spiritual item, he could
- save the entire world. He had obtained something with that much value and yet...
- He was inferior.
- He was overshadowed.
- The great swirl of power compressing toward that boy’s shoulder felt so threatening that
- it seemed to suck the color out of everything Fiamma had obtained.
- (Something invisible...)
- Fiamma of the Right looked back at the boy’s face.
- He was still hanging his head down so his expression could not be seen.
- It seemed that not just Imagine Breaker resided in that boy’s body. Just the ability to
- negate supernatural powers was not enough to shake Fiamma’s heart that greatly and to
- put him on his guard to that extent. Even then, he felt a painful illusion on his skin. He
- felt a deeply resounding shock in the bottom of his gut like large fireworks were going
- off nearby. That shock was similar to an invisible wall.
- (Something is there!!)
- “...”
- The boy, Kamijou Touma, slowly raised his head.
- It was not some great action. There was no great speed to it. There was no special
- regularity to it.
- He merely raised his head.
- That was all.
- Fiamma of the Right felt the muscles from his shoulder to the back of his neck stiffening.
- It was coming.
- He did not know what, but something he needed to be cautious of was coming.
- And...
- Kamijou Touma used his own power to crush that invisible something.
- A different power appeared above that great power that had gathered around Kamijou’s
- shoulder. That other power seemed to open up a large mouth and swallow up the first
- power. As if this giant mouth was chewing, the air around the shoulder shook looked
- like sugar water.
- That great power was smashed in an instant.
- “...You,” muttered Kamijou as his lips moved. “I don’t know who you are.”
- His words were not especially loud.
- And yet they still stabbed into the depths of Fiamma’s ears. His heart uncontrollably
- went on such high guard that he felt like overlooking a single twitch of a finger or blink
- of an eye could have a major effect on the outcome of the battle.
- “And I don’t know what you’re trying to do.”
- Kamijou was not looking at Fiamma of the Right, the possessor of the greatest power
- even among God’s Right Seat.
- Fiamma did not know what he was speaking to.
- “But...”
- That may have been something only Kamijou Touma could understand.
- At any rate, he continued to speak.
- “...You stay silent. I’ll take care of this.”
- Fiamma heard a damp noise and the next thing he knew, a right arm had already
- extended from Kamijou Touma’s shoulder. He had eaten away such a massive power
- and then grown a new part of his body.
- (He...threw it away...?)
- Fiamma tried to mutter those words, but he realized afterwards that he had not said
- them out loud.
- His throat dried and a feeling like something was clinging there remained.
- (He gave up all that power to get Imagine Breaker back...?)
- He looked up to the boy’s right arm that he had taken for himself.
- Even then, Fiamma had the Imagine Breaker arm inside his body after having
- disassembled it. However, he could tell the shining power was gradually fading from the
- flesh and blood he had acquired. It was such a unique power that two of it could not
- exist within the same world. The scene made Fiamma think that such a rule must exist.
- And that rule might also have been that the true power could only reside within the right
- arm if it was attached to the boy known as Kamijou Touma.
