Above the city, an invisible flying—no, airship to be exact, has been silently watching the scene that was happening below them.

Inside it, 8 people are reviewing the scene on the bridge.

(A/N: Bridge is what they call the place where Ratatoskr operates.)

In the middle of it, a girl who has red hair with a style twin tail is sitting while commanding the rest.

"What is happening? Where is he? Did anyone find him?"

"Commander, we're sorry we couldn't find him."

Her eyes were full of worry and nearly wanted to cry, but she held it.

She held it even though her heart was unable to resist anymore.

She holds it.

Furthermore, she holds it…

"Kuh! Try to find him again."

"Yes!"

Seeing a girl like her, gritting to the point that blood can be seen on her mouth, they are very determined to obey her order.

…

"Where are we?"

In a dark place, Shido and the girl are floating inside a school like no gravity.

Her tone of asking is like a cat stepping on its tail, while her eyes are full of killing intent.

However, this immediately subdues when she realizes something.

'The atmosphere in this place reminds me of the space whenever I'm asleep.'

Her eyes are wandering as if she could see apart from darkness and the school they are currently in but in the end, nothing.

Slowly, gravity turns normal.

"Don't worry. We're in my personal space. We can talk silently here."

Ao—no, Shido use his God-like power earlier to disintegrate those missile-like things, and then he invited her to talk.

That's how they get here.

The girl felt some curiosity about him.

She knows that he might be strong, but she is strong too, so she is capable of defeating him if he does something to her.

Defeat him, not kill him.

Reading her mind, he smiles.

…

On the day that he reincarnated, the first power he has is to hack and read someone's mind.

It's been a while since he was able to use this.

However, it appears that he is not a god anymore.

His divinity of control and law is not on his body, but he could still access it since he is once a god.

That's why he could control the atoms and make those missiles disintegrate.

His power not only controls a person with consciousness but now all living organisms.

His divinity already disappeared but his power became more powerful.

And since he becomes a transcendental human, he could just control her the way he did in the past, but something changes in him when Itsuka Shido and Professor– I mean, Itsuka Shido and Ao's souls merge.

And that's how the new Itsuka Shido was born.

A boy who wanted to gain all the heroine's love without relying too much on his power.

…

They have been staring at each other for a minute, but he still did not say anything.

In the end, she decided to take the approach.

She makes a move by pushing him to a wall.

A crack appears on his back.

Although he could just avoid it, he decided not to.

"You said that you had no intention of killing me. What a blatant lie. What are you trying to achieve?"
