"White Ice Dragon, Velgrynd."
"Storm Dragon Veldora."
"Scorching Dragon, Velgrynd."
"First Demon Lord, Guy Crimson."
"First Demon Lord, Tyrant Milim."
"Primordial Demon, Diablo."
"And finally, the Emperor of the Monster Country Federation, Rimuru Tempest."
"What? That Prince named Zhong Chen isn't here?"
Hearing Michael's words, Rimuru lightly scratched its cheek with its right hand, speaking with a slightly embarrassed expression:
"If A Chen were here, it would be a bit too much like bullying."
Michael's expression remained unchanged upon hearing Rimuru's words, but inwardly, he couldn't help but complain.
What does that mean? So this lineup isn't bullying, is it?
This lineup is enough to fight the Great Holy-Demonic War. It's questionable whether the Seven Primordial Angels could even defeat a few of you.
Velgrynd looked at the silent Michael, a cold sneer on her lips as she asked:
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to ask the Angel Leader for help? Aren't you allies?"
Hearing Velgrynd's words, Michael shook his head expressionlessly and said calmly:
"No one can help in this situation, but don't think I'll surrender without a fight."
"[King of Justice]!"
Seeing the opponent activate a Ultimate Skill, everyone present activated their own Ultimate Skills.
"[King of Ice God]!"
Velgrynd's [King of Patience] and [King of Envy] had merged and evolved into [King of Ice God] with the help of Teacher Ciel.
In the original work, Velgrynd was controlled by the Archangel Lucia using the Ultimate Skill [Archangel's Domination] during the Great Holy-Demonic War.
Because [Archangel's Domination] could forcibly control those with Virtue-series skills, it was only by relying on [King of Ice God] that she broke free from control in the original story.
"[King of Chaos]!"
Veldora also activated his newest Ultimate Skill, unwilling to be outdone.
"[God of Abyss]!"
"[Wrath...] Mmm mmm mmm..."
Guy, who was in the middle of using [God of Abyss], heard Milim's opening words and immediately rushed over, covering Milim's mouth with his hand.
He didn't want to fight another world-ending war with Milim.
"Hehe, Milim, you're no good. You have to watch me! [God of Void]! Dragon Release [Storm]! Multi-Dimensional Barrier!"
Feeling the space around him completely sealed by the barrier, Diablo's face flushed with excitement, and he praised loudly like a sycophant:
"As expected of Lord Rimuru, easily accomplishing what others cannot. However, your subordinate cannot hold you back either."
"[King of Temptation]!"
Michael watched these Guys continuously unleash various Ultimate Skills, and even his expressionless face couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
When did Ultimate Skills become so common? Can anyone have them? And what the hell is that [God of Void]?
Can such an ability really exist?
This was only because he didn't know about Rimuru's other Ultimate Skill, [King of Harvest]. If he had known, he wouldn't have been surprised by so many Ultimate Skills.
Rimuru's [King of Harvest] was a BUG-level skill that provided a one-stop service for ability creation, ability replication, ability granting, and ability preservation, completely defying all logic.
"Michael, go and be buried with Rudra! [King of Covenants]!"
Upon hearing Velgrynd's words, Michael shouted in disbelief:
"What! [King of Covenants]! How do you possess [King of Covenants]!"
"Hmph, go ask my big brother down there!"
...At this moment, Zhong Chen, who was in the A Certain Magical Index world, suddenly sensed something. A golden flash flickered in his eyes, and then he muttered with a sympathetic expression:
"Oh dear, what a tragic sight. These Guys are too ruthless. He's a big Boss after all, give him some face."
If Rimuru and the others knew Zhong Chen's thoughts at this moment, they would definitely retort without hesitation.
As if everyone present wasn't a Boss. It's everyone's first time being a Boss, so why should they yield to him?
"Teacher Zhong Chen, what are you saying? What's a tragic sight?"
"Adult matters, children shouldn't pry."
"Hmph... Stingy."
Saten Ruiko didn't hear the gossip she wanted, and her small mouth involuntarily pouted.
"Alright, look over there, your kin has appeared."
Saten Ruiko heard Zhong Chen's words, muttering softly as she looked in the direction Zhong Chen gestured.
A huge monster resembling a baby was floating in mid-air. Why was it called Ruiko's kin?
Because the baby actually had a halo above its head and a pair of wings on its back.
"W-what... what is this?!"
Ruiko looked at the monster in mid-air with a shocked expression.
"Alright, this monster is yours. I have something to do."
"Eh? Me? No... Teacher Zhong Chen..."
Before Ruiko could finish speaking, Zhong Chen's figure disappeared from the driver's seat.
"Mmm mmm mmm... Really, just leaving like that."
Although Ruiko complained, her actions were not slow. Angel wings appeared out of thin air behind her, and a halo also appeared above her head.
Whoosh... The Security Force members who were attacking the monster suddenly saw a figure rapidly approaching from the sky.
"It's that Saten Ruiko! The newly promoted LV5, unknown ability."
"So it's that child, but why is she here?"
"No matter what, having another LV5 to help is always a good thing."
Leaving aside the discussions of the many Security Force members, Kiyama Haruue was currently leaning against a pillar under the overpass, covering her left eye with a bitter smile.
"To think such a monster would be created. It would definitely receive recognition if published in academia."
"The network has already escaped my control."
At this point, Kiyama Haruue lowered her right hand from her left eye, a flicker of despair in her eyes, and continued calmly:
"It's no longer possible to reclaim the lives of those children or to restore everyone. It's all over."
Hearing Kiyama Haruue's words, Haruue Erii shouted at her with a determined expression:
"Please don't give up!"
"Heh heh, what else can I do if I don't give up..."
Seeing Kiyama Haruue's despondent appearance, Misaka Mikoto said seriously from the side:
"If you give up, those children will truly have no hope! So, please pull yourself together, Teacher Kiyama!"
Upon hearing Misaka Mikoto's words, Kiyama Haruue, who had completely given up, raised her head and looked at Misaka Mikoto and Haruue Erii.
"Even if I pull myself together, I can't do anything. The network is out of control."
"Besides, after causing such a big incident, I'll probably be imprisoned until I die..."
Hearing Kiyama Haruue's words, Misaka Mikoto and Haruue Erii fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Just then, a mischievous voice suddenly came from beside the three of them.
"Oh dear, imprisoned until death. If you beg this humble one, this humble one might not be unable to help you, Teacher Kiyama Haruue!"
The three looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Zhong Chen holding a bottle of leibi, leaning against a pillar and looking at the three with a mischievous grin...
