In his anger, Kaito indeed entertained such a bold thought.
Fortunately, he just considered it for a moment; he wasn't truly enraged enough to destroy this world.
What he had to face now was the distorted black hole covering the sky, beyond the planet.
He really wanted to know which Magic God was coming.
What kind of powerful abilities did they possess?
And whether he could overcome them.
Soon, Kaito saw part of the answer.
Several humanoid phantoms appeared on the distorted black hole.
The most prominent among them was a blonde woman wearing a witch's hat and an eye patch.
As the saying goes: the less one wears, the more skin exposed, the stronger their combat ability.
Seeing her appear, Kaito couldn't help but feel wary.
[Go back.]
"Hmm?"
However, before Kaito could act, a single sentence appeared in his mind.
These words, three characters, were telling Kaito to leave the world of A Certain Magical Index?
"...What if I refuse?"
[Hmm... Unless you can achieve the ability to directly destroy the 'River of Fate' and alter the records of 'Past, Present, and Future'.]
"Hehehe, what you're talking about, I really can't do right now."
[So... go back.]
[And, control the power that does not belong to you. We have no intention of being enemies with it, we simply had to come out and take a look.]
Whoosh—
The sky instantly returned to its original blue sky and white clouds.
As if it had never appeared before.
Kaito blinked in surprise at everything that had just happened, holding Rhongomyniad tightly for a while...
"I see... so it was 'power that does not belong to me'..."
'Was it referring to the system, to the chat group?'
'Because I was in a very dangerous state, did it 'act' to protect me without my knowledge?'
And that female Magic God said they simply had to come out and take a look, which definitely meant he had attracted their attention, or perhaps something else had attracted their attention.
Like the Imagine Breaker.
Like the protagonist of this world, Kamijou Touma?
To be honest, he never even thought about messing with Touma.
Even with Accelerator, he had only stolen his Vector Manipulation ability and then only altered the plot regarding the Misaka Sisters.
'Ah...'
'Aleister Crowley, the man hanging upside down, right.'
'Very well, I'd remember this grudge.'
"Haha... it seems I'm still not strong enough."
Ever since obtaining the EX-rank limiter removal, Kaito's mindset had changed dramatically, as if he had become invincible.
Even if he wasn't invincible now, he would be in the future.
But now...
He no longer thought that way, and his desire to become stronger resurfaced.
And it was no longer just about shattering a planet or even a galaxy with one punch.
What he wanted was to be able to shatter a universe with one punch, or even, like the primordial god in mythology, cleave through the Law of the Universe itself!!
Time, space, fate!
Able to break them with a snap of his fingers!
"Kaito! Are you okay!!"
Beelzebul finally snapped back from her state of terror, able to move again. She immediately flew into the sky and rushed to his side, observing him with concern.
Rhongomyniad remained silent for a moment, then vanished along with the holy spear.
"I'm fine. It's just that the Magic Gods of this world are far beyond what I imagined. I also realized that I'm still not strong enough, not invincible yet."
He laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly. Kaito looked at Beelzebul and reached out to stroke her cheek.
Beelzebul wanted to pull back, but seeing Kaito's expression, she endured her shyness and accepted the touch.
"You once pursued eternity."
"But now, I pursue invincibility."
"But thinking about this now is too far off. For now... no, tonight, would you like to visit my Jade Chamber?"
After a while, Misuzu and the others, who had inexplicably collapsed, began to wake up.
Naturally, this wasn't caused by Kaito's Conqueror's Haki shockwave; it was most likely due to the impending appearance of the Magic God. Probably everyone in Academy City was affected.
Without exception, everyone had lost consciousness.
Anyway, he wasn't taking the blame for this.
"Kaito, did something happen?"
"Yeah... something very important happened. The Magic Gods of your world told me to go home and train, and come back to fight them when I'm stronger. If I win, they call me daddy; if I lose, I call them mom."
Kaito explained with a hint of teasing. Hearing that Kaito was going home, Misuzu and Mikoto understood that meant he was returning to his original world!
"Um... can't you stay a few more days?"
"Maybe I could stay a few more days, but now... I don't have the heart to."
...
With this incident, Kaito truly didn't have the desire to stay any longer.
He could deal with Kanzaki and the others later! Fortunately, he had already resolved Index's issue yesterday, leaving a deep impression on Kanzaki.
Besides, it was still a year until the main storyline began, plenty of time.
"Is... is that so? Then, will we be in danger?"
"No, they won't act against you. Neither will Aleister."
Rhongomyniad had actually been charging up for an attack earlier.
Once an arrow is on the string, it must be released. In a state where it was prepared for firing, even Kaito couldn't just interrupt and recall it.
So then...
Kaito left a little surprise for Aleister.
This surprise was the [Judgment] hidden at three thousand meters altitude.
If Aleister tried anything, he would face the [Judgment] with eleven seals released!
Its power had long reached the point of easily destroying a planet the size of Jupiter, and then some.
Also, before Misuzu woke up, Kaito and Beelzebul had visited Aleister. They had given him quite a proper "thank you".
Want to send the Imagine Breaker? If you're going to, at least send the real one!
Ah, never mind. I'll give you a big gift too. See that [Judgment] in the sky?
See it? It's for you.
And that was that.
He trusted that Aleister would understand the warning. If he didn't, then this planet could go down with him.
Unless those Magic Gods intervened personally.
And even if they did, they couldn't find Kaito across different dimensions.
Plus, the chat group was consciously protecting him too.
Just like when he faced the Magic God.
"Well, even though it feels regrettable, all good things must come to an end. Next time, you guys should come visit my place!"
"Mikoto, please tell Shokuhou Misaki properly for me too. I can only accept her gift when I come next time, okay? And you two try to get along better."
