I, the only superpower on earth

"...The you now, just like your name, have finally grown into the sweetest 'fruit'."

Mio Ito's voice rang in his ears.

Mizuhara Manami felt as if her body was being slowly integrated into the asphalt pool, layers of sticky things wrapped her body, dragging her body and mind into an infinite abyss.

"Sister...why?"

Mizuhara Manami murmured.

The vision that was originally as clear as a mirror was constantly infested by turbidity. Even so, the crew and soldiers inside and outside the main control room were all dragged into it by the bloody pool, and in an instant, they turned into Mimi Ito. part of the mood.

— including Fangos, including Stanley, including everyone else.

"……Why?"

There was clear compassion in Mio Ito's gentle voice.

"There is only one reason - to go beyond."

"Beyond..."

Mizuhara Manami repeated quietly.

"Yes.

"——In order to surpass the existing limit, break through the height of spirituality, and reach a higher level."

...

Tokyo, Diet Building.

Following the release of the Prime Minister's "Declaration of a State of Emergency", the entire venue fell into an uproar. Members of Parliament and journalists also became followers of the uproar. The huge discussion seemed to blow off the top of the venue. stand up.

Despite this, the Prime Minister immediately arranged for it in an orderly manner, led the military and police into the venue, and led the unarmed personnel to take shelter in an underground bunker near the Congress Hall.

Tokyo already has many preparedness facilities for air raids. This is a historical source and has a long history.

And near key buildings like the National Assembly Hall, there are many air-raid shelters or safety bases that have been built long ago for the dignitaries to live in at this time.

So, just as the congressmen and reporters went into the underground bunkers to hide in batches, the Prime Minister also took steps and returned to the backstage.

He passed those respectful staff members, and went straight to Fang Shican who was standing there blankly, looking at him with complicated eyes, with a calm face, faintly revealing majestic dissatisfaction:

"...Mr. Fang Shi, what's going on, why didn't you lead other personnel into the underground fortification to avoid the next air raid?"

"..."

Fang Shican didn't answer immediately.

After about a few seconds, he looked at the "Prime Minister" in front of him and made a difficult voice:

"Master Prime Minister, are you... really still Mr. Prime Minister?"

"hiss--"

The administrators and security personnel next to him all showed shocked expressions, as if they were saying, "Does this kid know what he's talking about?"

Many people showed angry faces, ready to come up and scold Fang Shican for his "boldness", but at this moment, the Prime Minister waved them away:

"Please stay away a little bit, Mr. Fang Shi seems to have misunderstood something, I want to talk to him."

When the prime minister spoke, other people could only obey no matter how upset they were, so everyone looked at Fang Shican with dissatisfied and doubtful eyes, and stepped back for a while, creating a private space for the conversation between Fang Shican and the prime minister.

And when the others retreated to the distance where they couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them, watching Fang Shican, at this moment, the Prime Minister's eyes changed slightly.

——It is no longer the kind of firm and fearless eyes.

——On the contrary, it has become a kind of indifference, calmness, as if the outside world has been brought into the emptiness within one's body.

"You really saw it...Fang Shi-jun."

Fang Shican's face darkened.

The suspicion in his heart was finally confirmed, but he was not at all happy.

All, just deeper and deeper despair.

Facing the most terrifying enemy in the world, he firmly calmed his breathing, not wanting to show any flaws.

"...There is a big difference between a flag-raising day and a non-flag-raising day."

"When I was simulating the conversation with myself, I was wondering whether this flaw would be discovered by Mr. Fang Shi. I didn't expect you to have discovered it, and you have lived up to my expectations."

The "Prime Minister" stared at him without blinking.

Fang Shican felt that his breathing became more and more stagnant.

"What do you mean by 'simulating a conversation with yourself'? Could it be that, besides being able to pretend to be someone you devour, you can also differentiate into another body?"

Obviously, he had made up his mind and couldn't be shaken in front of him, or "her", but Fang Shican felt that his sweat glands were a little out of control, sweating profusely, and his body seemed to be exposed to the sun in the dog days.

The "Prime Minister" looked at him with a smile gradually appearing on his face.

"It's easy to understand, Mr. Fang Shi, you are really smart."

...

On the "Lambry", Mio Ito's quiet narration continued.

Except for her and Mizuhara Manami who was wrapped in her, the others have been assimilated into Mio Ito's sea of ​​blood.

"I accepted the invitation of the Prime Minister of this country and agreed to be a member of his 'Japan Revival Plan'. But in fact, at that time, for me, no matter Tokyo or Japan, whatever is good in this world.

"The reason why I agreed to this invitation is because I want a space where I can study my abilities quietly.

"...The ability of 'Flesh and Flesh Resonance' has almost reached its limit. The souls and memories of tens of thousands of people are about to confuse my essence. If I integrate a few thousand more people, I will become a person without a main axis, infinitely expanding, and simple. Just monsters fused for the sake of merging.

"—that was not my vision.

"I want to create a beautiful world where everyone can function beautifully in my body forever, not a strange space full of chaos.

"However, if it continues for a long time, I will either have to stagnate, or I will turn into a monster-this is a dilemma.

"So after that, I, who agreed to cooperate with the Prime Minister, studied my own strength more and more deeply in this rare peace, looking for ways to break through my limits.

"...Only by myself, there is no possibility that I can break through the upper limit. However, in the process of this research, I have extended and developed some new abilities, such as using my "flesh and blood resonance" to make a specific person not Not integrated into my body, but differentiated into a seemingly independent individual outside my body."

"...that is, clone?"

Mana Mizuhara asked with difficulty and slowly using her last thinking ability.

"That's right—but unlike a clone in the general sense, it can't be too far away from me—for example, more than a few thousand kilometers away, and it doesn't have independent consciousness, and if it is formed, it must last for more than a few days. If Below this time limit, I can't convert it to another form...

"However, despite all the limitations, it allowed me to have more freedom - although there was no way to push my own limits through it, I also used it to do small things - such as my own assimilation And became the prime minister, successfully deprived the highest power of this country, but because my avatar was still acting as my body, it was perfectly covered up—for example, after a period of time, I used my avatar to assimilate into a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Reported the existence of another "Supernatural Potential Person" and "Supernatural Thing", which made the US military move, and finally transformed and assimilated the clone into the "Lieutenant Colonel Darcy" of the United States...Successfully contributed to my The person in mind completes the transformation."

"That person is... I..."

There was only darkness in front of Mizuhara Manami's eyes, and she spoke with no sadness or joy.

"That's right."

Ito Mio Shizumi's voice conveyed in her heart.

At this moment, Mizuhara Manami no longer knew whether it was Mio Ito's voice or her own voice, or that the two of them were about to merge completely, regardless of each other.

"Manami...that's the way I finally came up with to break the limit.

"...If, with my own extraordinaryness alone, I can't break the upper limit of my own life, then what about you?

"If you become extraordinary, and after awakening the 'extraordinary characteristics' like me - 1+1, to some extent, is not just equal to two, they may be able to become the intersection of 0 and 1, in binary mode , expand the infinite space on the extraordinary road. When you fully awaken your extraordinary spirituality and obtain unique and wonderful abilities—you and me, our hearts will have no regrets, and we will be able to withstand higher orders of magnitude. The shock of human soul and memory...

"...that's what I thought.

"It's just—you seem to be a little afraid of becoming extraordinary, so I have to do these things so that you can devote yourself to your own extraordinary path until the moment you completely 'spiritually change'."

Mio Ito's wonderful voice seemed to spread from every cell in his body.

The last bit of independent consciousness is also gradually returning to nothingness.

"...Then, Mio-senpai, has your vision come true?"

"...It came true, and it was done so beautifully. I can already feel that the whole world has changed."

Mio Ito's faint joy permeated every corner of Manami Mizuhara's soul, making her happy.

——Because, Mio Ito's joy...

——Because Mio Ito is herself...

——So, the one who is happy is yourself.

This is unmistakable proof.

"Yes, I am happy!"

Mizuhara Manami smiled, and completely integrated into Mio Ito's body. There was no gap in her soul, and she was integrated with the world in the deepest part of Mio Ito's heart.

Everything has been done.

It's finally here.

——Next, is the final stage.

On the "Lambry", Mio Ito flew out of the main control room, using the telekinetic power she had just obtained, floated into the sky, and opened her arms high to the world in front of her.

"Next—"

...

...

"Next—

"It's the final act...it's called—

"The kingdom of flesh and blood."

In the background of the National Assembly Hall, the voice of "Prime Minister" sounded with a strange tone.

The "Prime Minister" who was still talking calmly just now suddenly uttered such a sentence, which made Fang Shican's brain unable to recover for a while.

However, in the second before he had time to react.

——The sea of ​​blood churned, and the red sea completely filled the backstage space in an instant.

And just after it flooded the entire backstage, it surged towards the world outside the Congress Hall with a more rapid momentum.

The target... is Chiyoda Ward where the assembly hall is located.

It is also a port area adjacent to Chiyoda City.

But the best way to say it should be - the whole of Tokyo.

Red water is coming.

The flood has come.
