==============

"......You want to test it on me? That degraded version? That armor doesn't even look like it has much power for me either, so what kind of power does it actually have...... Hmph!!"

Saji lunged forward to punch me at the moment of his final "Hmph!". Saji, you only have one reason for your defeat: you've arrived at the notion that "an armor with fundamentally weak basic performance is absolutely weak." That's your loss.

ZERO DIVIDE!

The unique ability of this armor activated. It's one of the abilities I just learned about, but because of this, my stats are practically nonexistent. However, I myself know that it's a powerful ability.

"What…!? The armor's flames are......!?"

And the moment the ability activated, Saji's cursed black flames vanished. As if there had been absolutely nothing there from the beginning. I'll keep quiet about it to him, otherwise he might find some strange way to break through again. 

Even so, this armor's power...... and the fact that this is its first manifested ability is incredibly powerful. First, this armor's power is...... "Erase." The voice said "ZERO DIVIDE," but simply put, it's the ability to "reduce anything that can be DIVIDED in half to zero." Of course, I have to choose what to erase, and I can't use it repeatedly. But even so, it's undoubtedly an overpoweringly strong ability...... because it's a power that can reduce anything to ZERO if it can even be halved. And with this power, I erased Saji's black flames.

"A test run is about like this, huh...... It's easy to erase existence, but that would be bad for thePresident or rather, the Student Council, and it would leave a bad taste in my mouth At most, I'll just rewrite their memories later."

Well, to be honest, it's mostly because I don't want Hyoudou and the others to notice...... Since it's too strong, I have to be careful not to target the wrong person.

"That's right, Saji...... If you become my ally now, I'll let you have thePresident to yourself. If that's not enough, I'll even add the other Student Council girls and the Demon Lord Serafall. You'll be able to have your belovedPresident in a sister-bowl as much as you want, so I don't think you'll have any complaints, do you?"

".........Don't mock me... Bow to the likes of you...... to the likes of you...... I'd never lower my head!! What I can't forgive is you toying with thePresident's heart!! I'll!! Kill you!! And return thePresident and the others to normal!!"

A roar...... A mixture of sadness, anger, resentment, and various other emotions. Saji yelled as he charged at me. However, his last resort, the flames, were gone. But I'm still wary of the armor...... If so.

ZERO DIVIDE!

I'll erase the armor...... My time stop is still active, so the moment the armor disappears...... Saji will forget everything about today.

"——Huh, what was I doing again?"

"Hey, Saji, what are you saying...... You said you came to check on the school, didn't you? And you asked me to come with you, so I did...... You're quite mean, aren't you?"

"Eh... ah, come to think of it, I did, didn't I...... Ahh! Sorry, sorry! I guess I was spaced out for a bit! It's fine, it's fine, I'll let you help out properly too!!"

"Yeah, yeah........."

"......Even so, I feel like I've forgotten something...... Well, even if I can't remember, I'll remember eventually, so it's fine, I guess...... If I forgot, it probably wasn't that important anyway......"

Saying that, Saji walked straight to the classroom. The umbrella wasn't open, in fact, it was so clear there was no need to open it. This meant that the great storm could be attributed to someone's ability. It was too localized, after all...... So, it's reasonable to assume that the wielder of the ability was that young man, right? He looked older than me, but...... So, the remaining Michael or Joker...... No, the possibility of it being Joker is probably higher.

"Then to pick him up...... What are these bubbles?"

Before I knew it, bubbles were floating all around. It's true that it's not just me and Saji in this school, there are other students, but there are also teachers. 

That means whoever is blowing these isn't a student, since they'd get angry if they blew them without permission, and I've confirmed there are no science-related rooms around here. So who's blowing these? It's fine since I'm not touching them.

"——Even without touching them, these bubbles move according to the will of their owner. So...... confine him! Sacred Heavenly Flagellum Dei Arcobaleno, the Final Speranza Dei Briscola!!"

While he was chanting that ridiculously long technique name, I could have probably escaped, but upon closer inspection, it's possible that all the bubbles flying around are of that nature, so I can't carelessly touch them. I could stop time, but if I touched them, it would probably be bad...... 

In other words, I'm currently in a situation where it's no exaggeration to say I'm lightly cornered. And the bubbles hit me as if they were intentionally colliding with me, then grew large enough to completely envelop my body. From that point on, it was, personally, a terribly awful start to a kind of hell. Even though it had grown huge, it was at most only large enough for me to fit inside if I hunched over with my face touching my knees, sitting with my legs folded. Moreover, inside this bubble, all kinds of weather phenomena were assailing me. I see, this is Joker's power...... And the voice I just heard was the same as the one in the church, so that means he's Joker, Dulio, right? But...... I currently possess!

Degeneration Overdrive!!

"Hmph!!"

ZERO DIVIDE!!

I donned the armor and nullified the existence of the bubbles. I now fully understood that this armor could do such things. But it seems I can still go further...... Because I can now wear the armor without chanting. Does this mean it doesn't require chanting like a Juggernaut Drive? Or is chanting necessary to summon Albion, who has turned into a monster? Probably the latter. It's like I temporarily took off the armor until now. I thought chanting would be necessary to re-don it if I took it off, but it doesn't seem to be the case...... This is quite convenient.

"......I can't believe you even stole Vali's power...... Honestly, you've swelled up so much, it's hard to believe you were once human."

"Huh? Do I look that fat? I weighed myself the other day, and I was around 55, was that inhuman level......"

"No, no, I'm not talking about your weight, I'm talking about your emotions. To be more precise...... your desires, mainly lust and desire for domination."

Oh, so he's talking about desires. Well, every man of every race has those, and lust is probably inseparable. I don't know about the desire for domination. More importantly, despite bursting out, he's not panicking that much...... That's when I suddenly realized.

"Where am I? I was just at the academy a moment ago......"

Before I knew it, I was in some wilderness...... or rather, a desert. Oh, did I somehow acquire an ability to desertify schools without realizing it? That's bad. Global warming would accelerate ridiculously. Hmm? So that means—

"I can even turn a desert into a lush, natural land!?"

"I'd like to know why that happened, but unfortunately, I transferred you. Right in the middle of a desert with no damage."

"Huh? A desert, not sand dunes? Then this is overseas? Wait, how do I get back?"

"No, no, you can't go back in the first place... You're going to be quietly sealed here from now on. I chose this place because if I fought with all my might, an entire city could be blown away... So I chose this place to prevent any damage. And your time-stopping ability is certainly troublesome, but......"

Before I knew it, bubbles were swirling around me. So many bubbles that it was troublesome to count them. Indeed, if something like what happened earlier happened again, where I touched them, I'd have to nullify them one by one. That's a hassle.

"Then...... I'll devolve it further, according to the name of this armor."

"......Devolve?"

"The image is...... it's game over if you touch it...... But, I also want to move quickly...... That's about it. Alright then, let's go."

As I infused magic, various parts of the armor lifted as if pushed forward. And as I infused more magic, those lifted parts flew off in a straight line. They nearly hit Dulio, but he was wrapped in bubbles and being battered by disasters. His inside s must be a mess. Well, it's fine since I'm not recycling it.

"......That armor?"

"If I were to name it in Hyoudou's style...... I guess, Vanishing Forbidden Rook, the Dragon Wing Tank."

However, despite bearing the name of a tank, its appearance is that of a thin armor barely clinging to the body, offering only a certain degree of defense. Furthermore, to put it bluntly, this armor possesses no decent offensive power.

"......A Rook usually has both offensive and defensive capabilities, though this is just something I heard from Issei. But your armor doesn't seem to possess either, let alone both. Does that mean...... there's something about the armor itself that I should be aware of?"

"Then, why don't you try it? It might or might not work, you know?"

He saw through that there was something about my armor at a glance, so he doesn't seem panicked at all. Of course, the armor I was wearing just now looked stronger. And so, he cautiously aimed bubbles at me with the intention of defeating me. But the moment those bubbles touched this armor, they vanished. As if there had never been any bubbles that hit me from the beginning.

"......I'm impressed. So this is what 'game over upon touch' meant. With this, indeed, defense and offense aren't necessary. After all, it just vanishes the moment it's touched."

"That's right. Shouldn't you surrender soon? I don't want to kill or erase anyone, if possible. Just call Michael already...... Otherwise, I'll have to defeat you."

"If I didn't want that to happen, I don't think I'd be in this situation right now."

That's true, now that I think about it, someone who'd be intimidated by an ability like this from the start wouldn't be Joker. Do you call that having guts? No, really...... I just want him to give up already.

"......Hmph!"

"Useless, useless. It's closer to the obliteration of what it touches rather than mere nullification, so no matter how much you throw at it, there's no capacity limit, I can erase as much as I want."

"I know that...... But, you see, the point is that if you can't be touched...... it's already over."

Suddenly, I noticed bubbles had already surrounded me. And they were super-sized, enormous ones. But if I could just touch a bubble. Thinking that, I reached out my hand, but it just barely couldn't reach. Or rather, I couldn't move forward.

"...…As expected, it seems your armor can only nullify visible things imbued with magic. The weather created within those bubbles is real weather, but the magic to reproduce it is consumed. However, the armor itself has no immunity to the weather. In other words, if you're trapped in that bubble and assaulted by a storm or wind scythes and lightning, you won't last long."

I see, this guy seems to understand my armor better than I do. Thanks to him, I'm trapped in a bubble, and my armor is being torn apart by lightning and wind scythes. Damn it, it's too thin to be useful at all. I can't nullify the weather…

Then this time, I'll make it thick, so thick that its original shape is unrecognizable. An armor thick enough to stop even the strongest weapons. With that image in mind, I poured even more magic into it. Then, after briefly returning to its original armor form, small parts were purged from the arm, leg, torso, and head pieces. 

Those parts thickened like thick tree trunks with magic, and then each part connected. The connected parts, shaped like a bulky, round armor, opened at their center immediately after connecting and encased me, who was already wearing the armor. And when I moved my body from inside , those greatly enlarged corresponding parts started to move. With this, a formidable fortress that surpasses even the weather is complete.

"What!? It can still be reinforced......"

"No, no, this is devolution. Vanishing Buster Knight. It has overwhelming defensive power and can nullify any physical attack. Weather attacks are useless now too. However, this has truly become just armor. It has no noticeable special abilities, just greatly increased defense."

Perhaps because of its bulky appearance and considerable size, my viewpoint is incredibly high. It must be about 3 to 5 meters tall. I made a really rough estimate of its height.

"In short, you've created an impregnable armor that keeps anyone away...... But in reality, it has no special abilities worth mentioning... Indeed, if you only look at the latter part of your statement, it only looks like devolution."

"That's right...... It can also defend against magic attacks, by the way. Though I don't even know how much defense it has."

If it could survive anti-ship missiles or nukes, it would be the strongest armor, but it would probably just blow up.

"At the very least...... in this situation, how I wish attacks didn't work at all......"

"I can now nullify bubbles that envelop me when touched...... or rather, this armor solves everything now. Even if I'm enveloped, your weather attacks won't work on me anymore. I can win just by increasing my defense."

In fact, even if I'm enveloped, I can safely use the controller with this armor's defense. Moreover, although I'm moving it like this now, to put it plainly, I can also just stay inside and defend. So, even if I'm attacked by weather, I have a way to use the controller. There's no longer any risk of being caught in a bubble and enveloped if I move even a little. Because I can now easily break through.

"Well... I won, but... do you know? Michael's location... Even if you stay silent, I'll force it out of you, but it might be easier if you speak up now, you know?"

"......I'll just say, go to hell."

"Is that so? Well then, see ya."

Saying that, I pressed the buttons on the controller.

"Thanks, Dulio. Sorry to have you escort me."

"No, no, anything for Kaneo-dono."

"See you later then."

"Yeah."

We ended our brief conversation, and Dulio returned to Heaven, while I went home. One more thing to add: Dulio has been brainwashed, he'll never fight me again. However, even after being brainwashed, he didn't reveal Michael's location...... No, perhaps it's more accurate to say he didn't know. 

He said he didn't know even when I asked with the controller, so he probably really doesn't. But this is convenient. Not knowing Michael's location means he's not in Heaven. I don't know where he is now, but he's not in a place where he can interfere immediately. Well then...... Tomorrow will be a bit of a drag to go, but well...... I guess I'll go, to that place. I'm looking forward to it.
