Prologue

Floating over the sea of ​​the planet known as Earth, there were thousands of artificial islands touching the waters of Japanese territory, now a cold night over each of them.

Their position was always constant and stable, almost like the islands Mother Nature brought into the world, only made with the most advanced human technology.

This is a place known to the world as Neo Tokyo, a large collective of artificial islands floating in the Pacific Ocean some 185 kilometers south of old Tokyo, free from the deadly movements of the planet's tectonic plates and untouched by the horrific earthquakes that leveled old Tokyo and nearly destroyed all of Japan in the past, held in place by powerful "Magnetic Anchors" constructed with the best that the new century's technology had to offer.

Since that "Warp" opened and "it" crashed into Earth 60 years ago, inevitably changing the course of human history forever...

The pale moonlight in the heavens softly illuminated this country now made up of islands of purely artificial origins, and the sea surrounding each island beautifully reflected its cold silver light.

The total area of ​​the huge artificial island complex was approximately 1,377 square kilometers, and its population exceeded two billion.

Each of these islands, of varying size, was connected by extremely strong bridges that allowed the passage of cars and electromagnetic propulsion trains powered by Hydrun .

It was a huge eco-friendly city that harnessed ocean currents, sunlight, and winds for energy, packed with cutting-edge technology that didn't pollute the planet.

It was already midnight and a new day would soon begin in the Neo Tokyo Islands.

The windows of the buildings, with their lights off, reflected the light from the streetlights, which absorbed solar radiation during the day and emitted it at night in the form of light to illuminate the streets.

The reflection of this light gave them a magical appearance, as if it were a dreamlike scene in the darkness of the night.

The bustling city of Neo Tokyo today, as seen by any air traveler, would appear to be a sea of ​​holograms, with various advertisements and anime or game characters projected in the air; with many convenience stores, family-run restaurants, and karaoke bars thriving even at this hour when everyone should be under the warm embrace of Morpheus.

Some of these facilities were staffed by advanced robots and androids that maintained the interiors, all with an exquisite artificial beauty that only 22nd-century engineering could achieve.

The streets, filled with young people and teenagers, seemed to be full of life.

Some laughed innocently at a joke or simply because someone had made a small mistake; others shared strange rumors, using them to kill boredom, since they had nothing better to do that night than go out and have fun with their friends.

A boy with what looked like dog ears on his head and a blue shirt with a beautiful silver-haired anime girl with violet pupils on it was whispered, enthusiastically telling a silly rumor with seriousness to two of his friends.

"Have you heard about this? It is now being claimed that the Black Ryuu is actually a government experiment created by the government to violently punish the worst juvenile delinquents of the Neo Tokyo Islands at night, protecting the peace of ordinary citizens with an iron fist and a fearsome gaze like that of a beast. His inhuman strength and mastery of martial arts are seemingly overwhelming, allowing him to easily annihilate an army of delinquents from the incorrigible Fukigawa District without a single wound. Always undefeated and unbeatable, he has the reputation that no delinquent can defeat him. No one seems able to surpass the ferocity and lethality of the Black Ryuu; all have been powerless before his martial power, unmatched at his creation."

The short girl beside him, wearing a design of a handsome boy with black hair and golden eyes on her jacket, snorted with a bored expression as she manipulated an electric current coming from her hand. At the same time, the muscular man of the trio, who was holding a holographic terminal with images of a game on it, opened his mouth politely, his look of obvious disinterest. "Uh... Like this? And what else?"

-...

——This was the land of Neo Tokyo, the new capital of Japan in the year 2115, the most advanced city in the world where alien technology, anomalous beings with paranormal abilities, and genetically altered humans were the norm since the "Warp Disaster" event that caused the first not-so-friendly contact with another civilization...

A powerful teenager who is supposedly a government experiment capable of defeating an army of powerful delinquents using martial arts and supernatural strength... Even if such an absurd rumor were true, it wasn't something very surprising in a casual conversation like this.

…It was a shame, however, that this peculiar "normality" unique to its time was about to end in the worst possible way... But, despite everything, the world will continue to spin toward its inevitable destiny... won't that be right, humanity?

♦♦♦♦

The subject of these rumors among the youth of the Neo Tokyo Islands, the "Black Ryuu", was currently walking down the sidewalk of one of the Neo Tokyo Islands' districts in the Central area towards a residential area where his destination was.

He had the appearance of a young adult wearing what looked like a black parka with white stripes and a hood that, for some reason, seemed to have horns due to its extravagant design.

The "Black Ryuuu" was casually carrying a bag he had brought from a convenience store, and although he seemed to take a somewhat weak step on the street, he was constantly scanning his surroundings with his fierce and vigilant gaze, seemingly on the lookout for any threat.

His naturally sharp gray eyes and handsome, yet contradictorily frightening, face were features that would undoubtedly make you think he was a dangerous criminal.

His hair was jet black and unkempt, resembling the fur of a wild black wolf. Add to that his height and strong physique, and he gives the impression of not being someone easy to mess with. Especially when you perceive the intimidating and overwhelming aura that surrounds him, coupled with his height, even taller than that of a Westerner.

However, the guy who looked as dangerous as a murderer on the prowl and made several people flee upon seeing him, at this moment...

Damn old man, to think he'd force me to train this hard as punishment... Wasn't I making good use of martial arts and the will of Chi? Shouldn't I be doing things that reveal the power of Chi to the ignorant masses? Tsk, tsk!... Why can't I use martial arts to protect lives? Why should we care about revealing the power of Chi in a world full of Abnormals like Yüna? You stupid old man!

...Complaining about his old, outdated martial arts sensei, while starting to fantasize about spending another good night of fun with the wonderful woman he had just mentioned at home.

Haha... Anyway, I hope my Yūna-chan brings me lots of comfort again with her body tonight! Though I guess she'd rather play [Britannia: Lost World] than sleep with me... Tsk tsk, what's so great about a FLS related to that failed franchise? And what was New Type Moon thinking, officially adapting the work of the idiot who produced that stupid series as part of the Nasuverse with that game? It was a terrible idea, no matter how you look at it...!

... Mash Kyrielight as the protagonist of the first part is great, however...

Anyway, I hope my gift convinces her to let me enjoy this feast... No, I must first use Grandpa's hentai anime to cheer her up! I must thank her for the wonderful hentai from the BFS years to tempt this old anime fanatic into action!

The young man thought about all this with a perverted smile as he surveyed his surroundings with the demeanor of a soldier in enemy territory. He couldn't help but feel cautious. After all, he had many more enemies lately. His recent reputation as the infamous "Genocidal Criminal, Black Ryuu" preceded him.

While he didn't actually kill anyone, it was a title that would stick with him forever, as a civilian with no anomalous abilities or martial training recorded him surrounded by what looked like a battlefield littered with gang corpses (unconscious and visibly beaten criminals), the broadcast going viral throughout his high school, the island district itself, and eventually all of Neo Tokyo... in just a few hours!

His uncle and sensei were understandably furious after he broke free from the detention center where the officers had him... and now, understandably, it was to be expected that those guys he mercilessly kicked wouldn't stay quiet.

Still, he didn't regret committing the alleged "Massacre" at all. After all, unscrupulous members of that gang had kidnapped a girl whose boyfriend had nearly been brutally beaten just so she could watch them gang rape her.

He, the powerful and kind Shigaraki Sora, did not like forced NTR.

While he didn't hate NTR with a passion—having had the guilty pleasure of enjoying a few out of curiosity, where the hot girl cheated of her own free will—he just couldn't understand how some idiots seemed to want to mimic a tragic anime of depraved NTR to rape a guy's girlfriend and make her eventually have sex with them willingly like a depraved bitch in heat (they said so themselves after a "friendly chat").

So he beat them up and, as a result, was arrested, albeit briefly, as the girl bravely stood up for him alongside her tenacious boyfriend. Today, he was officially released from jail. After that, he was severely scolded by the two men in his life (He's not gay, that's a form of sarcasm!) and forced by his sensei to train hard until he was exhausted.

If it weren't for the fact that he could control his Chi to speed up his recovery and had several energy supplements made with the best that the most advanced biotechnology had to offer, Sora wouldn't be able to walk so normally right now, let alone have his "fun" with Yüna.

While thinking about the fun he would have with the girl named Yüna, the cautious Sora immediately noticed the presence of several boys sneaking up on him. He narrowed his eyes as he gently clenched his free fist.

The people, already alerted to Sora's presence and his dangerous gaze, quickly fled when they saw that he was surrounded by what looked like... intimidating teenage clowns with metal bats?

…What the devil?

"I was hoping you'd try to get revenge for your miserable, ridiculous pride, but really? Clown Mask? Are you going to beat me by making me laugh at how ridiculous this is?"

Grimacing at the clown-masked gang members surrounding her as she manipulated the Chi within her body to move at will through her spirit veins - heightening her senses as much as possible - Sora let out a loud joke as she dropped the bag to the ground.

His eyes shone with a murderous glare that shocked those criminals with its extraordinary ferocity. Even so, they didn't hesitate and relied on their numerical superiority to claim victory and reap their reward.

"They're not very talkative, are they?" he whispered with a wry smile. His brain began to work at full speed under the stimulation of the mystical energy that coursed through and invigorated every neuron.

The number of enemies is smaller than that gang as a whole, but from what I can tell from their Auras, almost all of them are experienced in the basics of Chi generation and manipulation...

Regardless of who the irresponsible person was who taught a group of idiots how to use their spirit veins, I have to admit that they're very different from the average rabble; there are also those who know a bit of martial arts based on their movements.

Besides...

Sora noticed that the metal bats emitted electric sparks or a faint white glow. With his keen senses, he could not only perceive the unusual waves of chi energy coursing through some of these subjects, over which many had little control, but also the pulsing electricity emanating from the Anomaly.

These morons are definitely Class 4 "Abnormals"; some of their Chi even interferes with the surrounding electromagnetic force to a certain extent. They're too weak even among Class 4s, considering the energy waves they emanate, but there are a total of seven of them... this will be a bit annoying nonetheless...

Anyway, aren't these bastards underestimating me too much? They must know they need more than that to give me a real challenge, let alone beat me.

...No. It's pretty obvious they were sent here without enough information on me, in the slim hope that these meager numbers of ability users would be of any use to them. A faint wolfish grin spread across his face at the thought.

It should be known that the "Anomalous" here were not like those Espers from the old anime To Aru Majutsu no Index who could obtain powers as amazing as Misaka Makoto or Accelerator, capable of acting as strategic level weapons in human form; in the same way that martial artists like Sora could not be like the Legendary Goku and use pure Chi energy attacks to destroy cities in a matter of minutes during a fight... as far as he knew.

In any case, even as anomalous ability users, they were still at a level where the government's advanced technology could kill them. They couldn't act any more recklessly than common criminals. Let alone naive people with such mediocre anomalous abilities.

Without a word, the clowns rushed Sora, seemingly determined to give him the beating of his life. The sight of over 17 men running towards you in clown masks and carrying electrified or glowing metal bats wasn't ridiculous at all and would send most people into a panic.

However, there was only a sordid smile on «Black Ryuu»'s fierce yet attractive face.

In an instant, Sora disappeared from his opponents' sight, leaving them stunned by their target's sudden display of inhuman agility, of which they were unaware. With his superior thinking ability, physical dexterity, and body control, Sora moved easily through most people's blind spots, appearing as a blur to those who saw him.

——Before being hit hard in the face with knees or fists, accidentally knocking off their ridiculous masks, with blood gushing from their mouths while pieces of teeth flew through the air while a gust of wind blew some trash.

With a perpetually cocky grin on his face, Sora quickly knocked out five of the clowns before having to block a bat attack using his arm; protecting himself by having his skin, muscles, cells, and bones structurally reinforced by a smooth and constant control of his Chi that one wouldn't believe could be done in the middle of a hectic fight.

A cracking sound was heard, but it wasn't Sora's reinforced arm that broke, but the bat itself, which fractured due to the strong recoil of its own kinetic energy. The attacking clown's hands shook from the unexpected recoil before he was thrown back, unable to properly respond to his opponent.

Gritting his teeth behind his mask, another of the clowns lunged at Sora, taking advantage of his current position, and hit him in the back with a bat filled with electricity, only for him to lean back with a grimace as if the electrical energy was no big deal while his parka smoked.

—This was my favorite parka, your Lars!

Shouting like that while placing both hands on the ground, Sora slammed his face down with a vertical kick and did a backflip, dodging another bat attack that broke the asphalt on the ground and unleashed another gust of wind, almost as if a hurricane was about to occur.

The clown's jaw, brutally beaten, seemed about to break. But fortunately for him, Sora wasn't a murderer, nor did he intend to render him jawless. He simply rendered him unconscious; although his jaw and neck would ache for a long time.

As for the one who attacked with that glowing bat of great destructive power, Sora scooped up dirt from the ground and threw it in his face on a whim with an amused smile.

—Argh! W-what!?

He was quickly knocked out when Sora repeated the Leonidas-style kick with grace.

—¡L-Lars!

—This is ridiculous!

—You didn't pay me enough for this, you Fuyumi bastards!

There was the sound of bats falling from the ground when, suddenly... the other clowns screamed and ran away, unconcerned about their friends. Sora watched in amazement as they ran away from him at top speed, as if their lives depended on it. His parka was still smoking as his arms dangled helplessly at such absurdity.

“Wait! Seriously? You’re leaving already? Come back, cowards!” he exclaimed furiously. Of course, those guys ignored him. Obviously, they weren’t masochists who would just stand there waiting for the beating of their lives. They weren’t brave enough or stupid enough for that.

—Those Lars...

Sora sighed in disappointment at this disappointing ending. But on second thought, he laughed. Why did he think they'd fight to the bitter end against someone who defeated half of them in just 15 seconds or less?

—Shit! I have to get out of here...!

Belatedly remembering that the IACO (Illegal Anomaly Containment Organization) would obviously be summoned by the civilians during this event, Sora quickly grabbed her bag from the convenience store and began fleeing the crime scene in the direction of a certain apartment, where her sexy friend with benefits lived.

He may have been the "victim" in this case and not actually an Anomaly, but even if it didn't seem like it, Sora had no interest in contacting the Anomaly Containment Team again. Perhaps they would call him later... but today, he wanted to feel Yuna's skin against his.

My dear Yūna-chan will definitely have to comfort her Shiso-kun a lot in bed after being attacked so brutally like that!

——Shigaraki Sora's shameless thoughts were interrupted when suddenly, the pharmaceutical building in front of him exploded due to an attack from the sky.

Sensing the sudden danger just seconds before, the young man simply jumped from the spot using all his strength and chi field to perform an incredibly high jump away from the blast radius while covering his face with his arms.

Dropping down over the railing of a nearby building like Spiderman, Sora simply stared with horror-filled eyes at the destruction as flames already engulfed the bodies of the fallen criminals, and raised his head to see lightning forming in the sky as what appeared to be a massive humanoid machine slowly descended towards Earth with blue electronic eyes from a rift in space-time itself.

It seemed as if reality were broken glass, twisting eerily, with a black background that seemed to absorb the light...

It was a sight that would easily leave you stunned, as if it were the descent of an Angel; a colossal and terrifying metal angel, come to unleash its wrath upon humble mortals or deliver a divine message, giving off a powerful sense of intimidation not only because of its size, but also because of the intense energy that floated in the air around its powerful presence and the "door" that served as its entrance.

However, Shiragaki Sora and many young people of his generation knew well that it was not a god or a divine force. It was impossible for them to ignore it, since from their history classes they knew that "It" changed the course of human civilization with its arrival; a foreign existence on the planet.

—This is...?! A real Nao emerging from a warp rift!?!

He was surprised, as he had never imagined seeing a functioning Nao in his lifetime. In fact, he always believed there was a better chance of winning 1 billion yen in the lottery ten times a year than of a Nao reappearing after nearly a century of official sightings.

…Let alone start an attack on Neo Tokyo… After all, the first Nao was assumed to be a faulty machine that crash-landed on Earth after an accident and that its creators weren’t inherently evil!

However, Sora didn't have time to say anything else when another purple laser beam descended from the sky, causing an explosion in the building it had hit. Sensing danger again with his passive technique "Chi Sense," Sora jumped again... but, panicking, he lunged at a nearby building...

——Which also exploded with another rapid beam from the “mouth” of the alien automaton.

Thus, helpless, Sora was caught between the flames and the blast wave, easily crashing into a metal wall as he was sent flying. In the end, despite his incredible physical prowess, comparable to Spider-Man's, he was merely a human caught in the unparalleled firepower of advanced alien technology.

Sora had no way of knowing at the time, as he would inevitably have died later, no matter how you looked at it.

But not only Neo Tokyo, but the entire Earth, their home planet, was suddenly invaded by the same advanced species whose ship triggered the events that led to the birth of Neo Tokyo and the current technological advancement of humanity.

In fact, this isn't the first time otherworldly beings like the Nao have invaded; it's just that civilians like him were unaware of this because they were protected by Anomalous, martial artists, and other truly powerful supernatural figures that neither he nor anyone outside the government had any idea about.

However, the Nao, the most passive in their invasions, this time arrived in great force to annihilate human civilization...

Unfortunately, this led to his pathetic and untimely end without having the slightest chance of participating in the defensive war, as the hero he might have been destined to be...

Fortunately for him, a strong blow with a huge metal bar shattered his head and he barely felt any pain before losing consciousness.

... Yuna?

Although, somehow before that, Shigaraki Sora thought he saw a familiar black-haired girl very similar to his busty friend Yüna appearing among the flames like a goddess... but that was just the illusion of a horny man dreaming about that wonderful body before he died.

...or maybe not...

♦♦♦♦

—What are the levels of magical energy required to activate all the projection chambers?

—Currently, the amount of magical energy required for the soul transmission operation is 57% of the Hydrunian energy used to power all the systems at our central base, including the PIFR borders. If we start the project right now, we'll have to disable some systems and equipment to save a lot of energy for a long time. Perhaps if...

—I don't mind, prioritize the necessary magical energy over the cameras. This project is much more important... I'll make sure to obtain enough Hidrun from the Nao to sustain us with the help of Barthomeloi-san... you know that the Naoprietak won't take a long break when it comes to creating and sending their creations against all possible parallel worlds. Just worry about checking the stability of everyone's Mental Essence during the operation, especially those of my Shiso-kun.

—Understood, My Lady.

Inside a room composed of gray walls that looked like a large warehouse filled with high-tech equipment, two strangely dressed women were conversing in low voices while the last one to speak looked at a hemispherical device about 5 meters wide with two- to three-dimensional holographic images, displaying various data.

Most of which were related to the futuristic cameras clearly visible at the front of the device, with a wealth of data scrolling across the screens displayed in his mind via a simple spinal-insert interface connection.

In these futuristic chambers, one could observe what appeared to be a strange fusion of alien technology and magical rituals in a form strangely reminiscent of coffins, as in each of these 12 metal chambers, a wide variety of symbols could be seen pulsing with unearthly light.

A magical aura seemed to emanate from each of them, and the sight was particularly eerie, especially given their unusual design; they looked like something that should only be used to store and bury the dead.

Even more so... because of the severely damaged bodies that were found inside those chambers, wrapped in a transparent crystalline substance.

Six men and six women, almost cadaverous in appearance, were rubbing themselves with a light green liquid, barely visible through the small windows of the chambers. Each had various horrific, life-threatening injuries, and if it weren't for the glass that keeps them between the Limbo of life and death, they would probably be dead without exception.

The sight of these almost dead people, trapped in a mysterious crystalline substance inside what looked like a tomb, was quite sad and disconcerting.

If it weren't for the Absolute Reality established by that Imbecile Prometheus, I wouldn't have to do something so complicated to save you, Shiso-kun... I can only save your mind, not your soul or your body...

What good is having the Fantasy Manifesto if I can't make all the miracles I want happen? Why did I try so hard to control all of humanity's sorcery if I can't fully resurrect you in the end?

The girl standing there, with long black hair and a mask, lamented again with slight melancholy as she bit her lip before shaking her head. In the end, Absolute Reality is what prevents the complete fall of humanity. What could she do, try to destroy it?

There were more important things than drowning in feelings.

—Kaede-chan…. How secure do you think the functionality of our Warp Space Observation Lens is right now ? It’s strange that I’m doubting this now, but will it really allow for a stable connection to the Master System’s Main Core from the other side once we find what we’re looking for? It would be problematic if the system parameters had to be recalibrated due to a failure to calculate a non-localized disturbance in the main world’s RRF² , causing unnecessary disruptions to the transfer of Realismus and information.

Gently stroking his arm as if feeling a little cold, the machine operator finally responded with some uncertainty evident in her voice.

—My Lady… Although the Warp Space Observation Lens is seeking the “Light” of Daemonic Worlds with acceptable conceptual laws, it is impossible to claim that there are no major problems in our path. The construction plans you purchased online make it clear that this technology is not perfect, even if it was designed by that absurd I.Vs³ Civilization , and glitches caused by ' QWBPW'⁴ spreading in the Warp could still occur, easily resulting in the loss of a stable connection between both sides, preventing continued Transference.

Not to mention the foreseeable interference of the Daemonic World's will once it realizes that an external intervention and the supply of Realismus is affecting the World-Idea⁵ and causing singularities to emerge by destroying its Reason⁵ …even more problematic would be that the contradictions between real events and those recorded in the history of the World-Idea would cause not so much “mutation”, but a collapse such that it would destroy half the planet once it is anchored on it; a possibility that cannot be ignored, no matter how small it may be.

—Something like what almost happened with that little thing…the Logos Reactor, right? Whose contradictions in that simulation alone could have destroyed half of Welsh…only worse.

Upon mentioning an incident involving one of Atlas's superweapons several decades ago, the young woman nodded seriously. "Yes, My Lady. The Daemonic Worlds themselves are like a realistic simulation of a fantasy world, recreating a fictional history within Warp Space⁶…and interfering with it could lead to consequences we don't want."

The black haired girl gently shook her head.

"Then it really is a serious concern you have… but even so, we must risk it. We have no other choice. We must send their minds to the Fantasy Bubbles in the Warp and anchor them to our reality through their observation, or we will have no chance of survival in the near future if this entire effort fails completely. Two years have passed, and the enemy is advancing toward the total destruction of the entire Human Order."

—I know...my Lady

The two women remained silent, a heavy atmosphere enveloping them as the girl with short, dyed-blond hair continued to operate the complicated technology she was working with, some concern visible in her eyes under her visor at the terrible possibilities of failure. 

An electronic beep resonated in the midst of the eerie silence—at least to her—and an image of a large blue bubble was projected inside the hemispherical device before the eyes of the pink-eyed blonde girl, slightly confused by the sudden appearance of a row of different and sudden data while operating the device with a keyboard only visible to her in the empty air.

A faint smile appeared on his face shortly after he finished reviewing them. "It seems the Lens has successfully located the coordinates of the Daemonic World you so desire, My Lady."

The other woman, with long black hair and dressed like a fairy-tale white witch, crossed her arms over her prominent breasts and asked with a raised eyebrow behind her gray mask: "Really? Which one? You know I wanted 7 Daemonic Worlds specifically as candidates for this War."  

—The one that My Lady likes the most of the 7, the one that also conveniently has the greatest number of layers of information similar to ours and possesses conceptual laws close enough to our reality to serve as a new texture in which to live…. 

The young woman who seemed to be cosplaying as a genius scientist casually turned to look at the masked black-haired woman, leaning back somewhat relaxed in her elegant black chair, and the other party smiled for the first time since entering this laboratory.

—Great... I can't wait to see the World of Britannia again in all its splendor, and above all, for it to finally wake up and provoke singularities with the chaos it caused by its own selfishness!

Her gaze shifted to the man at the center of all the projection chambers, who had burns visible all over his naked body through the glass. “It will be like that time we peacefully ventured through <Chronicles of Holy Grail Online> with our guild across the continent of Centoria and conquered numerous dungeons in search of the elusive Holy Grail… though I suppose he will awaken at a completely different time.”

—Peacefully, you say, My Lady...? Pfff—the scientist mocked as she lifted her elegant visor, recalling those mischievous days they shared together in that ultra-realistic virtual world. —The Black Dragon and the Chaos Witch acting peacefully together is the biggest joke in the history of both worlds... In fact, if we add Queen Cornelia, Team Castastrophe would be complete——Ack!

The aforementioned Chaos Witch playfully hit her friend for her prank. With a smile, she simply said, “Cut the nonsense and begin the soul transmission for the first three, including Shiso-kun, immediately.” 

"Yes, My Lady Chaos, with the projection of the Observation Anchors, we will officially begin Operation: Lost World!" Rubbing her sore shoulder, her friend responded with a poor imitation of a military salute while spouting nonsense that made her roll her eyes before she got down to business, manipulating the console. 

The world, dying under the foreign threat, had no idea that something monumental was about to begin. The fate of humanity across countless parallel worlds, which had seemed bleak, was about to change...

Because of a project that could bring both salvation…and the destruction of the planet they knew.

♦♦♦♦

A young man thought he heard a voice echoing in the dark void that housed his vague consciousness, its mechanical and lifeless tone weakly impacting his mind, which was confused between dream and reality.

<Successful union of the spiritual fragment of the Master System into the Core of Existence. Beginning of the initial analysis of the Master's physical and spiritual structure... ego quantification...>

It was as if a machine were performing some kind of deep operation, while he felt something running through his being like a probe.

<Ego structure analysis and quantification completed. Beginning to investigate available characters with equivalent structures in the target "Daemonic World"... exploring the textures of reality beneath the surface of the Fantasy Bubble...>

<Match found. The target character from the Daemonic World, [Arthur Pendragon von Draco Silva], has a high match with the Master's three-essence structure (Mind, Body, and Soul) (at least 89% for Mind, which has the highest priority)>

<It is estimated that it likely has high rates of existence rewriting with this level of spiritual structural match, ensuring a successful overwrite of the original mind upon projection of Pseudo-spiritrons outside the Conventional Human Observational Universe...>

<Error. The character's Mind possesses a superior nature with a high existential value for their narrative world, commensurate with their Power Rank in relation to their Saint Graph. The success rate of mind overrides is significantly reduced, and the probability of the Original Ego collapsing is drastically increased.>

<The Master System requests permission from the Administrator {Lady Chaos} to expend 47% of the System's magical energy to increase the Master Mind's nature of existence above the character's Mind in order to perform the Mind Projection...>

<Request approved. The process of strengthening the Master's Mind to Lorius Level has begun...>

Her consciousness could barely register what was happening, but somehow, she felt the very essence of her being growing more and more intense until she reached a point where she was no longer exactly the same as before.

He felt... superior to what he never was and would be as Shigaraki Sora.

<The elevation of Mental existence to the lower Lorius Rank is completed>

<The Mind Overwrite rate has increased to 99%. Does {Lady Chaos} wish to begin rewriting the mind of the character [Arthur von Pendragon von Draco Silva] with the Master's Mind Projection right now?>

He felt as if the voice was asking him a question... Or was it someone else? He wasn't sure; in fact, he didn't even know what the voice was saying, other than that it didn't seem alive.

Although he felt so… unique, not knowing how to describe it better, the young man still felt weak and around him as well, unable to determine what he had been doing and where he really was.

<The order to begin Mind Overwriting has been received. The Master's consciousness is deactivated to successfully imprint the existence of his Mind into the target character's body and soul, replacing the original mind completely. He is expected to awaken after the original Mind is eliminated.>

And with those last extremely cruel and ruthless words, Shigaraki Sora's consciousness abruptly and permanently shut down.
