Tokyo Psychic

Dioscuri seemed to completely disregard Shiomi Kotone and Kurusu Akira, and after [Megidoraon] crushed [Supreme Magic Bullet], it recklessly approached them.

His goal was very clear—

Kill An and Subaru.

Only then did An and Subaru, who had been subjected to forced control and lacked any untamed power, finally awaken from their daze.

At extremely close range, Dioscuri's speed instantly surpassed the ability to detect sound, flashing in front of An and Subaru like a phantom.

But the next moment...

"Satanyal" has appeared.

The colossal spear, as large as a skyscraper, descended from the sky, but struck the area behind "Dioscuri".

With a deafening roar, Akira's attack missed its mark—he was certain he had hit his target, yet his intuition told him that the enemy was unharmed.

This is really a frustrating thing.

Supported by his combat experience, Akira Kurusu restrained himself from firing the [Great Sin Armor-Piercing Round] that he was about to reflexively fire.

The next moment, "Satanyel" drew a second giant spear and placed it beside Akira Kurusu, keeping a constant watch on the surroundings.

Shiomi Kotone, holding a naginata and carrying An and Subaru, quickly approached Kurusu Akira. Only when their backs were against each other did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"The enemy can modify memories at any time," the phantom thief reminded Shiomi Kotone beside him in as fast and clear a voice as possible.

Shiomi Kotone understood... Don't trust your senses, and don't try to figure out where the enemy is.

Then she felt a chill run down her spine the moment she realized that "I am thinking".

When Shiomi Kotone was active in the Shadow Time, she had never experienced such a bizarre battle.

Forbidden to think, forbidden to use their senses, even summoning Personas can no longer rely on past habits and experiences...

Fortunately, Akira Kurusu is quite good at this.

He was already used to fighting based solely on intuition.

An and Subaru, protected by the two, were given three stun needles by Akira Kurusu, who switched to "Arsène" to ensure they wouldn't wake up suddenly during normal combat.

Although he had no time to think about the reasons for doing so, Akira Kurusu had made the most correct decision based on his intuition.

Since the enemy has the ability to modify memories, it means that He can take advantage of An and Subaru, who have the ability to rewind time.

Meanwhile.

Dioscuri looked at himself from another parallel world, watching him manipulate Satanyel with mere intuition to aim at the perfect spot...

Dioscuri attempted to dodge, but Satanyel's giant spear actually ignored the series of erroneous, disruptive memory streams and moved in tandem with His form.

You've gone all out with cheats again this time?

Dioscuri refused to believe it and continued to dodge and weave, but the dark muzzle of the gun remained locked on him, constantly changing direction.

Knowing that if he got even slightly closer to Akira Kurusu, he would immediately be hit squarely by a [Great Sin Armor-Piercing Bullet], Dioscuri almost laughed in exasperation.

But He really couldn't produce "Satan Yar".

Are we going to use Raul's [Mahayagaon] to fire at the enemy's [Sin Armor-Piercing Shell]?

Or perhaps, right here, you'll completely become an arrogant, evil god...

On the other hand, if He uses up the seeds of arrogance here, what will He have left to deal with the gods and demons in Mitakihara in the second semester?

Just as Homura Akemi keeps reincarnating in search of a way to "perfectly clear the game," Dioscuri, whose existence is based on twisted arrogance, also wants to end this endless farce once and for all.

Then, in the few seconds that He was pondering, the phantom thief opposite Him seemed to have finally made up his mind.

Damn it... Theoretically, he had no way of knowing whether he had seen the enemy clearly or not.

The so-called "determination" is no different from gambling.

But Akira Kurusu fired that shot in such an absurd way.

In the instant that the [Great Sin Armor-Piercing Bullet] roared in with overwhelming force, "Dioscuri" once again deeply understood the uniqueness of his other self in this parallel world.

He recalled the tens of thousands of times he had experienced time travel, and remembered that Akira Kurusu did not initially have such a miraculous "intuition".

Rather than calling him a "mind thief," the title "time thief" seems more fitting for his current situation.

Because it can manipulate memory, it can extend the time spent thinking countless times.

After much deliberation, Dioscurius chose to flee—but escaping the pursuit of the two saviors would be extremely difficult, but fortunately He had called for help beforehand.

A dazzling rainbow of light pierced through the white mist in an instant, and the rising steam and heat waves surged forth together.

Akira Kurisu threw off her trench coat and covered Anwa Subaru's face to prevent her from accidentally getting burned.

The surrounding scenery was blurry.

The entire Impression Space appeared to be on the verge of collapse after the violent tremors.

In the layers of hot steam, one could vaguely sense the intense heat of a volcanic eruption.

The originally chaotic thoughts quickly regained their clarity with the help of the untamed power after the instigator left.

Someone was approaching, stepping onto the hot spring.

An unstoppable force tore through the water, the earth trembled, and even the light was distorted by the intense heat.

White hair, an unfamiliar school uniform, and an inextinguishable rage flowing in his dark golden eyes.

A month later, "Narukami Yu" stood in front of Kurusu Akira again.

Beside Him, layers of iridescent halos spread out like ripples.

Unfortunately, this isn't the set of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," and the power circulating around Him is not the so-called "Ripple Breathing Technique," but rather an all-powerful force that has been repeatedly compressed—

It is obvious that the [Great Sin Armor-Piercing Bullet] was caught by "Narukami Yu" in such an incomprehensible way.

This level of power manipulation is completely beyond the capacity of the human mind to withstand.

In the previous battle at Tokyo Impression Space, "Narukami Yu" never displayed similar power...

Akira Kurusu looked at An and Subaru, who were unconscious behind her, and then at Kotone Shiomi, who had a serious expression.

Are we really going to have to face two evil gods at the same time without any preparation? Especially since "Dioscuri," who has the ability to manipulate memories, is still hiding in the shadows.

The phantom thief fell into deep thought.

But the evil god on the other side seemed unwilling to give him any more room to think.

Human traits are rapidly fading away; school uniforms are crumbling, and the bones and muscles within them are stretched and transformed into a near-metallic texture.

"Izanagi the Great God" wielding a sword and spear approached the two contractors from the Velvet Room.

Seeing the critical state of the battle, Akira Kurusu found himself with the urge to gossip.

"Do you know what that guy who just left was called?"

Upon hearing that it concerned that arrogant and evil god, "Izanagi-no-Okami" seemed to become interested in conversation—

Clearly, His impression of Dioscuri was extremely negative.

“Some colleagues like to call him the savior, but you can probably guess that he is ‘Ren Amamiya’.”

"Ren Amamiya of this world is dead."

"Ren Amamiya from all worlds is dead, just like in Rick and Morty..." the evil god in front of him said coldly. "Your appearance is the only variable, and an unexpected accident that we never expected."

Having said that, He brandished His sword and spear, the sound of the Persona book turning its pages blending with the hum of the spear blade tearing through the air.

Under the gaze of the Fool, an unprecedented skill called "A Creation-like Act" is being activated on Izanagi.

262. The Truth About the Destruction of the World

Unlike the last time we met.

At this moment, "Izanagi-no-Okami" has become the true embodiment of collective subconscious rage.

His every thought was driven by extreme anger.

All human anger flowed into His whole body.

Every step taken carries an uncontrollable rage, like a volcanic eruption, enough to shake the world.

If the "Izanagi-no-Mikoto" or "Narukami Yu" we saw last time still carried human characteristics.

Just like "Yuki Risa" in Miku's mental palace, who was initially able to think independently.

At this moment, the evil god who walked towards Akira Kurusu and Kotone Shiomi completely severed ties with his past.

Even his past experiences and existence as "Narukami Yu" were completely abandoned.

After finishing the final negotiations with his eyes fixed on the front, Akira Kurusu unleashed his evil presence with unbridled arrogance.

This is just a walking ball of anger.

He swallowed those thoughts.

The commotion caused by that [Great Sin Armor-Piercing Bullet] should have been enough to attract the attention of the Phantom Thieves at the shrine.

However, things have developed into what they are now.

Akira Kurusu, on the contrary, was not too keen on having Mutsuka Wakaba and Shoko Toyokawa come to their aid.

He observed the omnipotent power surrounding "Izanagi-no-Okami" and thought to himself that this was really troublesome.

Furthermore, the existence of the ability "like a creation" is also noteworthy.

At the exchange meeting of contractors from all generations in the Velvet Room, Akira Kurusu witnessed the various abilities displayed by Yu Narukami.

This includes an ability called "Like the Creation of a Nation," which allows Izanagi to collect different types of Personas and achieve a state of near-perfection by combining the strengths of each persona.

The "founding of the nation" is also taken from the myth of Izanagi and the creation of the nation by Izanagi.

But “creation”...

Akira Kurusu thought to herself that even Yu Narukami, who had completed the "World," did not possess this skill.

What exactly did this evil god, who gradually descended into a non-human form due to mistakes and failures, go through to acquire such skills?

The time spent thinking became rather long.

Akira Kurusu was keenly aware of this.

But he didn't have time to discern the changes that had occurred in "Dioscuri," as his primary objective was to deal with the evil god who was closing in on him.

The "Messiah" next to Shiomi Kotone made the first move.

His very first appearance was with the highest level of technique he possessed—

【Hamijidoton】.

The "supernatural powers" that once required the fusion of Personas can now be used independently with the help of this new body.

The overwhelming force, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing back at the evil god.

However, the other party remained motionless and continued to move forward, staring at this "senior" with eyes brimming with anger.

Before completely losing one's rationality.

"Naraka Yu" was actually aware of the existence of "Shiomi Kotone".

Of course, He could also easily call out Qixiao's real name.

Before accidentally entering that world on the verge of destruction and sealed by Ferremon, He was also a contractor of the Velvet Room, running around that town trying to save the world.

But ultimately, it was the wrong choice.

Narukami Yu lost too many things that were worth cherishing.

So much so that the sadness and anger that exceeded our understanding were ultimately exploited.

That was a god who called himself "Nyarlathotep".

"Narukami Yu" reached out a helping hand to him on his path of despair and confusion.

"Become my accomplice, Naruto. As long as you stay by my side, you will soon understand that there are as many 'world' things as there are... One loss will not determine anything. Taking back what you have lost with your own hands, and destroying what you hate with your own hands, is an answer that Ferremont can never give you."

As countless cracks appeared in the space, a pitch-black portal opened before him.

And so it has been since then.

Inaba City has lost a boy who escaped reality.
