Chapter 401: The Power of Order (2)

"..."

Turning his gaze, once again the Demon King walked towards Touma and Index.

He needed more energy, and at this moment, he was the only one with powers.

The small world spun, and a translucent existence was devoured – Aiwass, subdued by the Dojutsu of the breach.

The boundaries weakened him enough for the small world to consume and subject him to the power of Order.

"Lucifugus..."

*CLOCK

Suddenly, an astronomical clock the size of a planet materialized in the world. Without external forces affecting it, the Demon King decided to finish this energy-devouring mission quickly, using the pressure of the Lunatic Emperor to accelerate the process.

The small world in his palm glowed, floating towards the heights, and Lucifugus' needles began to spin in reverse.

But that wasn't enough. The pattern of his left eye started to change, and the Sharingan was replaced with another eye.

[Is that the Rinnegan?!]

Yuki, witnessing all of this in his conscious state, was surprised. He didn't know how or why, but the Demon King had awakened the Rinnegan.

This made her reassess the Demon King's strength; it was too terrifying.

"Chibaku Tensei"

Creating a small black sphere, the Demon King merged it with the small world.

Tremendous pressure formed around the entire Academy City, and the small world turned into a powerful black hole.

*Fummmm

Debris rose, and buildings crumbled. Everything was being drawn towards the small world.

"Devour... Return... Devour"

Raising both hands, the Demon King's gaze filled with sadness.

[...]

While Yuki, in his conscious state, sighed, witnessing everything through the eyes of the Demon King – thousands of people, buildings, cars, and everything in Academy City were being drawn towards the small world and devoured consequently. The Demon King no longer sought the largest sources of energy; he was going to devour the entire city.

*Beep...

*Shiiiii

Suddenly, something collided with the crown of the Demon King. Someone was trying to penetrate his mind, but unfortunately, this person encountered the crown – akin to smashing an egg against a rock. Their feeble control self-destructed.

However, what surprised Yuki was that this person, even with the Dojutsu of the Breach negating all supernatural powers, could still activate this mental ability.

Lifting his gaze, Yuki and the Demon King saw a blond-haired woman floating, being drawn towards the small world.

This woman had control in her hands; her starry eyes closed slightly before being devoured by the small world.

[That woman...]

Yuki quickly made a mental note, categorizing the Blond Woman as dangerous. Similarly, various other entities were being devoured.

[So, that's Accelerator...]

He could even see a slender boy with white hair being devoured.

The power of the Breach is terrifying, denying all abilities and leaving its enemies powerless.

*Shuaaaaa

Something broke the air and approached at high speed. Yuki was surprised to feel the imminent threat; however, the Demon King remained unfazed.

*Bam

Something pierced the other dimension and collided with the Demon King's spiritual barrier, spinning at high speed.

The Demon King remained unmoved and turned his hand, causing another massive shockwave that sent that thing spinning back.

Despite the impact, that thing continued functioning. The Demon King narrowed his eyes.

That thing was a dog in a power suit, one of Aleister's weapons.

Kihara Noukan, using his Anti-Art Attachment, Yuki quickly analyzed, and if he wasn't mistaken, that dog traveled at a speed equal to or greater than Mach 20.

(TN: Why do he still compare people with fighter jets from his first life and how tf does he even remember 😭)

Spinning at that speed and traversing the other dimension demonstrated how horrible that attack must have been. Also, Aleister's vibrations and will must be fatal. However, the Demon King took that hit only with his spiritual barrier.

Aleister's will meant nothing against the crown, resulting in self-destruction.

*Creakkkkk

Breaking like a mirror, Aleister in the windowless building, blood ran from his mouth, his will crushed.

This made him, for the first time, look at the Demon King with a hint of fear. Even the magical Gods couldn't survive after that attack from Noukan, yet here was the Demon King without a scratch. Furthermore, his will was like a small shadow trying to hide the sunlight.

Aleister now understood why Aiwass said they were no match for that thing. The Demon King is not a magical God or anything related to magic and science; he is a being born to Destroy Chaos.

Nothing could penetrate the absolute shield...

This was the power of Order...

They had the protective crown of worlds, and the world loved them.

Without Aleister's will, Anti-Art Attachment was free from control for Noukan to take over.

*Clink

Suddenly, the power suit moved, and several lasers were fired. Unfortunately for Noukan, these lasers were absorbed by the Demon King's Rinnegan. Seeing that it didn't work, various guided missiles were fired.

However, ordinary missiles couldn't traverse the other dimension. Noukan tried everything from machine guns, cannons, swords, spears, emitters of electromagnetic waves of molecular vibration, catapults, even plasma cannons.

But nothing worked; it was either absorbed by the Rinnegan or couldn't penetrate the absolute shield.

Not to mention that Aleister's magic had been sealed by the Dojutsu of the Breach.

[Boundary between Science and Magic]

Switching to the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Demon King decided to end this farce and destroy that annoying power suit.

*Creakkkkk

*BOMM

Breaking like an egg, the Dojutsu of the Breach nullified all magic and science in Noukan, causing him to overheat, crack, and explode.

Suddenly, the Demon King's gaze changed, and he saw Touma and Index desperately clinging to a pillar. Thanks to Noukan's intervention, both had managed to make the Demon King forget about them for a moment.

Unfortunately for them, both were precious sources of energy, and the Demon King wouldn't let them escape.

The attraction of the small world was very strong, but this duo refused to be devoured.

The Demon King narrowed his eyes and switched to the Rinnegan, increasing the attraction.

"Touma!"

"Index!"

The nun was the first to give in, but Touma desperately stretched out his right hand and managed to grab her.

With his whole body screaming in pain, Touma gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to let Index be taken.

*Bang

However, the sound of a gunshot was heard, and his right hand was torn off.

"Touma!"

With bloodshot eyes, Touma could only watch as Index was dragged into the small world.

*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR

At the same time, 8 dragon heads emerged from his torn arm. The 8 heads roared and pounced on the Demon King.

[Well... This is unexpected...]

Yuki's consciousness smiled and patiently awaited what the Demon King would do. Those dragons weren't simple, especially if they could manifest even when the Dojutsu of the Breach was activated. This demonstrated that the world supported these dragons as natural beings.

"Arie..."

*Bang

*Shiiiiiii

But the Demon King did not disappoint. He quickly shot with his spark pistol, a powerful blue bullet shot out, devouring even space itself.

The dragons roared and tried to fight against this bullet, but when it hit them, they were torn apart and destroyed.

*Creakkkkk.

The bullet hit something else, a small formless thing shattered like a mirror.

Yuki didn't know what it was, but the Demon King didn't waste time and increased the pressure. This time, Touma couldn't escape, and he too was devoured by the small world.

Academy City was devoured. Everything inside was swallowed by the small world, and its millions of inhabitants disappeared, leaving behind a wasteland of death and several rocks.

Academy City vanished...

"Hm?"

Suddenly, the Demon King noticed something. All the buildings had disappeared except for one – a windowless building.

This building trembled under the pressure but wasn't destroyed. Obviously, this building was very unusual...

[Guuh?!... My time is up...]

The Demon King aimed his spark pistol again to destroy this windowless building. However, Yuki's consciousness had reached its limit; he could no longer stay awake. He needed to seal the Demon King again, or else he would fall into darkness.

[Eggy!!]

[I know!]

Sending a message to his spirit world, beautiful music was heard. The Ocarina had been played.

Author's Note: I'm not exactly sure how many chapters this volume will have; Toaru is too extensive, so I don't know if it will be longer than the Danmachi arc or not.

TN: Ok
