Maki and the staff were taken, and Ning people were in the opera room.

"... Ning ren-kun, are you sure?

The words of Maki, the chief development officer, are still important for a lifetime: modified surgery. I don't even know what she feels like pushing in case. But the answer is already there.

"Yeah. Please.... Well, I'm scared of being scared. Because I'm a coward."

"I don't..."

"No, it is. But I'm also looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of design my spirit is expressed in."

That's what I say, make me laugh. I knew I stopped coming this far. There's no way.

Ikeno has already led his men to intercept. You can't be hit here.

"I don't think even if I used the Beetle Crystal, I would get as much initial power as the Chevalier planned. Besides, it worked well in simulation, but for more power, mental contamination too...... I'm scared that Ning won't be Ning anymore... me..."

Maki seemed anxious. I can see that you are showing yourself to the Ning people. But we don't have time for that right now.

"Fine. Please. Mental contamination? It's okay. My spirit is absolutely sane. I told you. Together we can change the world. I fight. Ikeno, Tsurugi, everyone. So I want Maki to fight."

Maki's battle is to successfully perform Ning renovation surgery. Ning told him so in a very strong tone.

"... ok. That's right. Okay, here we go.... Rest assured. Absolutely, I will make you absolutely successful!

"Yeah."

I'm not worried about you from the start.

Ning was anesthetized and fell asleep.

By the time the Ning entered the operation, Ikeno had finished giving instructions to everyone in the development room.

He's coming to the development room? Fine. I'll let you in if you want.

I also thought about dispersing it on Purgatory Island and intercepting it outside the development room, but I stopped doing that. There are better fights in the development room. Make the most of your limited armament and destroy it after being greeted.

The development room has a variety of facilities, and the number of disadvantages in the closed space can be covered. Sure, there are many things in the development room that we don't want destroyed, but even if we make them enemies, we shouldn't act primarily on destruction until the battle is over. I have no choice.

The development room has two large buildings with research facilities and workplaces, and in the middle of the two buildings is a joint exercise area like the auditorium and ground. The contents are different, but the shape makes it look like a school, and there are battles. In short, base defense.

About 2 hours passed. As instructed by Ikeno, everyone is ready for placement. It took a little longer than planned, but it's acceptable.

Calculation says they'll be here in a few minutes.

The new name, along with several of his men, was on the third floor of one building. The glass-shaped glass monitor shows video and data of various points in real-time, and allows you to communicate with everyone with the earphone microphone you are wearing.

"New name, don't delay my instructions by more than three seconds. Control the equipment. You're the key."

Rikkasu

Give instructions to the new name in the control room. Having been able to answer his instructions calmly and quickly, and entrusting the control room to a new name with low combat ability to fight on the front line, Ikeno had decided to go out on the front line.

An improved Blake Gun Blade on the hand. In addition to the super vibrating blade, it is also armed to fire bullets from the patterned area. Naturally, it weighs a lot. However, Ikeno has the muscle strength to wield this.

While playing commander, we fight directly. That's the best thing in this situation.

That's what I was thinking.

Mr. Ikeno... here he is. It's them.

I don't even have to be told by Tsurugi. I just checked with the glass monitor. Roughly 100 Maloon 5 and Guardian. This one has 23 people who can fight. That's the only research staff with combat experience. I don't need someone to pull my leg off. They're all evacuating to the basement.

In 18 seconds. 17, 16, 15...

"New name!! Activate the shelter dome!!

Uh-oh.

Along with the vibrating sound, the walls surrounding the development room's premises grow from the basement. That's only five minutes, and we're going to wrap up the development room in a dome.

It's a defensive device to prepare for outside attacks. This dome uses energy conversion armor. It is not easy to destroy.

It's minimal, and it won't last long in relation to using the limited energy of the Development Office, 10 minutes being the limit.

Well, are you watching? Guardians on Maloon 5.

If this dome closes completely, it's hard to attack, if you're guzzling, Metallica reinforcements may come, the guys in the development room respond faster than you thought, unless you attack it before the dome closes completely.

And you thought, right?

Just wait 10 minutes and the energy conversion armor will expire, and it will be just a metal wall. That dome can easily be destroyed if you have Maloon 5 telekinesis.

Ikeno checks the glass monitor footage and learns that the measure was successful.

Maloon 5 was shown on cameras 1, 3 and 6 breaking into a dome that was about to close due to short-range teleporting and aerial travel by telekinesis. Ikeno was instantly confirming it by changing the monitors one after the other.

The Guardian, who is an ordinary human being, cannot follow the Supermen.

The aim was there. Now the Guardian wraps up the development room on the outside of the dome, only Maloon 5 plays the opponent. And of course, I'm not going to be dealing with five people at the same time.

Each of Maloon 5 is good at it. Different abilities. So if they travel at all costs, the arrival time to their destination should be slightly off.

The first Maroon 5 members to arrive are those conveniently referred to as blue because of the colour of the psychic suit they wear during battle. It's the fastest just to specialize in close range teleports. Blue landed first in the joint exercise area. It's like a ground between one and two buildings. There, it looks very good.

Ikeno immediately gives the following instructions:

"Class A! Currently moving 2 meters east of the point, from that point towards the intruder, shooting simultaneously!!

The penetration prediction point has shifted, but there is no problem. Range of error.

Squad A, lurking in one upstairs hallway, sticks a gun out the window and shoots simultaneously at Maloon 5, the first to arrive, conveniently taking the color of its psychic suit and calling it blue.

Of course I can't defeat the Rocks with an attack like this. Blue stretched the barrier by psychic power and played the bullet.

"Shit... I've been waiting, you mean. But...!

Glass monitors could confirm that Blue's appearance began to envelop him in the light. But that's predicted, too. The teleport is approximately 5 seconds from start to emergence.

"Teleport is coming!! All A-Squad, step back! NEW NAME!! Empty the upstairs b-block ceiling!!

I already did!!

Ikeno gives instructions and runs out the hallway on the third floor. Not so much Superman, but Ikeno is the owner of a handsome leg that runs 100 meters in 11 seconds.

Blue disappeared from the practice area. And the next moment, it appeared in one upstairs hallway.

Ikeno confirms his appearance. Not the glass monitor footage, with the naked eye.

Due to the operation carried out by the new name in the control room, part of the upstairs ceiling had slid and certain points had been blown out with the third floor. This equipment is provided on each floor to convey large equipment.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!

Running through to that point, which was a blowout, Ikeno jumped off the third floor and cut with a blade to the blue that appeared on the second floor section.

"What!?

Blue, who was going to jump into the middle of an enemy with a gun on him and kick him, suddenly seems to have delayed his reaction to an attack from above that attacked him. Teleport didn't make it, and he took Ikeno's slaughter with his right arm reinforced with psychic power.

I can't fight at close range like this. The opponent is Superman.

But enough. I wish I could hold back for just a moment.

"Class A! Crossfire!!

As he raises his voice, Ikeno bounces away laterally.

Maloon 5 is a psychic soldier. Manipulate psychic powers. However, physical strength and reflectance speed are not so different from those of an ordinary person. It is impossible to respond to this attack except by placing a barrier on it.

Only twenty seconds since Blue showed up in the practice area, so far. Ikeno had succeeded in keeping Blue away from his people.

Furthermore, the status of switching between the glass-monitor screens during this attack is also known.

"Tsurgi!! Yellow is coming!! Lead the D-Squad's and assault! Push it all the way inside the auditorium and leave!

"New name! Put down the bulletproof shutter as soon as the yellow enters the auditorium! He can't use the teleport! I'll be trapped for a while!!

"Keith!! Cover the others with a sniper rifle from the roof, along with Giles!!

Point the gun blade at the blue in front of you, pulling the trigger for all the steep aim precisely, while figuring out everything on the battlefield, responding to the many street situations you were predicting, and skipping one instruction after another.

Ikeno thinks.

Five of them are splitting up Maloon 5, which is comparable to Grade A and above, and establishing a battle at the bend. Who else of mine can do this?

See, Komori? My power.

It should be time for the remodeling surgery to end. This battle, struggling, is overwhelmingly inferior. It's like buying time, so to speak, with a line of boundaries.

Without the power of a modified human being, it is obvious that sooner or later, he begins to be pushed and wiped out.

I told you. If you have a first-class commander and a modifier who can fight, you can fight. and

I'll do it. Hurry up, too.

Ikeno continued his struggle in tandem with one changing battle situation after another.

"Damn, my God...!

The leader of Maloon 5, Red (don't give me) Kotaro (like this) was bewildered by the unexpected.

The location of Metallica's development room, and the information that the power of the war was insufficient, that information was, in a way, reliable. In fact, it must have been true that a modified person would not come out and attack us.

I didn't think the five of us would lose.

Yet.

"Humph!!

"! Yikes!!!

He also takes an attack by a Japanese knife from a man suddenly popping out of the shadows with telekinesis. The man immediately distances himself and disappears, even as he tries to fight back.

He should be a normal human being. Looks like you're pretty used to fighting to seeing those cheek wounds and all that, but still not a lot of combat ability compared to your psychic abilities.

But very good at fighting. They attack when they show up. Before striking back, disappear.

Kotaro is a psychic soldier. The best moves are telekinesis. If you concentrate your spirit, even heavy things can be lifted without touching your hands, or you can blow your enemies away. I can even put a barrier on my body.

But the man who strikes Kotaro skilfully disappears and distracts himself from the spearhead of the spirit he concentrates on to unleash psychic power.

Of course, Kotaro will never lose. Because no matter how sharp the fat muscle is, I can't break through my barrier.

"What's up? You're the leader of Maloon 5, aren't you? Just call me. Not even bothering the boss's hand. I'll take care of this."

Voices leak from speakers in the building. Where are you?

"Huh!!

Kotaro activates telekinesis in the dark clouds, tearing down the walls of the aisle, but not even beyond it.

It is also difficult to sense on the telepath. Because this building has all sorts of gimmicks, and it's going to be skillfully activated. Suddenly the shutter comes down, or a strong acidic sprinkler activates.

Is it equipment from the role of Phantom's Manufacturer, such as the Phantom's Rampage in development?

Mitsutaro doesn't know. And so enemies attacking us with disturbed spiritual gaps.

If you take the time, you will be able to defeat this enemy as well. If you care, you can destroy all the walls and corridors of the building.

But that doesn't take long. This enemy, Metallica seems to be buying some time. I don't think reinforcements would come any time soon to this island far from the main island, but it looked that way.

My colleagues and I have been separated. You won't lose each one, but I have a bad feeling about something. I don't like ESP, Mitsutaro, but I was feeling that way.

(Mitsutaro, can you hear me?

Unexpectedly, there was a fellow voice in Kotaro's brain. It's called blue in the world. It was Aoichi Kogure. Being able to have telepathic conversations shouldn't be that far away.

(Aoi! Where now!? Rendezvous!

One of my buddies I've been with since I was a boy. Best friend and warrior friend.

Mitsutaro, who was about to be broken by his inhuman education at school, came because he was there. I'm distracted from Nihil, but Aoichi is a sweet man.

I still remember. When we first met, I was falling down at the school at the time, and I was frustrated and just crying to myself: 'That's nagging. Why are you crying,' he said, and don't bluff. He also said to the bully, 'I'm upset with you,' he blew a fight, and he helped me. I don't mean to. He said so.

That made me positive, and for the first time, I made something called a friend. So I got along with everyone else. And with my people, I became a hero.

With Aoichi and the rest of us, I can be strong.

(No. The Metallicans, they don't know anything. We need to get this over with. It's not good)

Aoichi seemed to share the same opinion as Kotaro.

(I think so too. So)

(No, you go straight upstairs. Information Ray sensed in the psychometry, but the control center of this building is on the top floor of two buildings, (d) Behind us, where we have a room. If we hold it down there, we can block enemy communications, and we should be able to stop any odd tricks. You're the closest. Hold down the control center immediately)

Unlike myself, Aoichi is calm and cuts his head off. Leader is not a pattern, and we gathered around you, that's what made leader Kotaro, but it's still Aoichi you can count on in the battlefield.

(Okay, Aoi. I'll be right upstairs. Wait for me! We'll all meet later)

Mitsutaro ran out as soon as he finished his reading. The Japanese swordsman who had been attacking me since just now ignores me. I feared pursuit from behind, but I didn't have to worry about it.

"Mitsutaro-kun, go up the stairs!! This mess Wye wants to hold off!!

"Thanks! Wait! I'll be right back!

One of my buddies, Kaoru Yamabuki, came out to cover me. There's something a little simple about it. Kaoru, but he's a good bloodthirsty guy, and he feels safe. Now there's nothing wrong with the back.

As Kotaro rushes up the stairs, there's a long hallway. I guess it's the control center in the back. All you have to do is run through here, destroy the door, and hold down the control center.

That's it. We could have gotten this far with everyone's help. And this time we win!

But that was then.

The elevator that was in the middle of the hallway opened. The elevator is completely controlled by the enemy. And does that elevator have Metallica on it?

"Who!

Stopped his feet trying to rush through at once, and Mitsutaro takes an alert stance.

Coming down from the elevator, at first glance, was a normal man. Small and skinny. I was wearing a suit. But he must have been the bad guy who blocked Kotaro's whereabouts from appearing here in this phase.

"... Step aside there"

Kotaro skips the warning.

………

The man ignored Kotaro's words and slowly approached him.

You have to cross this man to get to the control center.

I don't like fighting. But there's something I have to do.

I have seen those with power destroy someone's little happiness for their own ends. I've had enough of that. So I decided to fight evil. [M] Even if people all over the world can't be saved, they want to protect the happiness of the people in their eyes right now, as much as they can. So...

"Stay put. Otherwise..."

This is the last warning. Kotaro began to gather psychic power in his right arm.

"... or else. What?"

The man raised his voice low. Unexpectedly, the chill runs on Kotaro.

The pressure emanating from this skinny man is one thing.

"I will defeat you."

But Mitsutaro can't lose either. Metallica deprives people of their little happiness. I can't forgive you. Stop.

"... well. Can I ask you something? What do you fight for?

The man took his steps and spoke in a gentle, but soothing tone.

"To stop people like you from trying to make something happen at the expense of someone"

Kotaro answers resolutely.

"Hmm. So you know what I'm here for? World conquest, then it's a mistake. It's a means, not an end."

"... I don't even want to know that."

Kotaro's Psychic Power charge is complete. I can shoot anytime now.

It's supposed to be a five-man move to unleash, but one is enough. Fire your charged Psychic Power from your fists and shoot your ranged enemies. That's Justine Hammer from Maloon 5.

This man in front of me, he's black. Kotaro understands that he has only a few sensing abilities. He is the owner of a black spirit. It's incompatible with me. Then I have no hesitation in discussing it.

"You righteous allies always do. Stick to defending 'Xiaoyi', without even trying to know the cause. And if we evil are for our own ends, we trample on it."

The man's face was serious in itself. Have you ever had such a straight conversation with evil? Mitsutaro is about to be swallowed up by the man's darkness by his strange powers.

"... I can't admit that...! Is there anything you can sacrifice for the cause of righteousness..."

But Kotaro has faith. Very unacceptable.

"How do you know without making sure what lies ahead? You are hope for many. But on the other hand, it also blocks someone's path to the world they want."

"... Still!!

To Kotaro, too, I know what the man is trying to say. The world today, that's not perfect. Some people want to change.

But that's not where many people want it. So if it's enough to break something for it and hurt someone, I don't need a world like that. That's why Kotaro fights. To protect the world today.

"I guess. I don't think I'm right... you're the prettier one. But I move on. So in the end, we just have to fight. Come on."

The man stopped his leg. Eyes that shoot through Kotaro. Turns out it won't break.

"... a lot"

Kotaro stuck out his right fist and held that wrist with his left hand. Glowing fists. Enough energy. The energy waves emitted from here are not just sorry if you hit them directly.

"Justine Hammer!!!!

Energy waves are ejected. The light approaches the man.

……

Just before the direct hit, the man's lips moved.

It looked like I whispered something, but I didn't hear it.

Energy waves burst. A stream of light exploded.

The echoing burst sound, Kotaro's sight is blocked by the blow he fires.

The man's appearance became invisible due to an explosion of energy.

"... over"

He was Kotaro, convinced of the victory, but as the blast cleared up, he realized he wasn't.

There was no man.

There was another thing.

"It" shows itself out of the light and blast flames that disappear little by little

Huge horns like goats, sharp nails, black body color, bright red shining eyes.

The whole body looks like black steel with bat-like wings on it.

Only beastly, inorganic, but evil, no doubt.

It wraps around a miserable aura and makes you feel like a killer.

Mitsutaro doesn't know any more suitable words to describe his existence.

Devil.

It's often seen in fairy tales and fantasies. It's ugly and pitch-black, but it's like shining.

A demon nestled in a totally better view.

I get it now. These days I thought back, and the guy just remembered a sarcastic word, a lip movement, that Justine Hammer was on the verge of striking directly, and figured out what it was all about.

That's what the man said.

"... Transformation"

Before the righteous allies, the devil stood up.

Kotaro's back, cold sweat poured down.
