Keystone Gate.
"Your Majesty!!" — Ena shouted, jumping to Kojou's side while holding the unconscious Asagi in her arms.
"Ena... you came just in time," Kojou said as he walked toward the beautiful girl, handing Asagi over to her. "Take Asagi home; I will follow you later."
"What about you, Your Majesty?" Ena asked, carefully holding the unconscious Asagi.
"I will return after taking care of some matters," Kojou said, surrounded by golden lightning, his crimson eyes shining with pure anger.
"Senpai!!" At that moment, Kojou heard Touka's worried voice as she held her silver spear in her hands.
"Go," Kojou ordered, stomping on the ground, causing it to shatter beneath him as he descended to the lower floors.
"As you command, Your Majesty," Ena said respectfully and leapt into the sky with the unconscious Asagi, heading back to Kojou's apartment. It was clear she could see that her master was extremely angry.
"Senpai! Wait..." Touka shouted and quickly jumped after Kojou, knowing the consequences would be severe if the angry Kojou was left unchecked.
Kojou did not respond to Touka's call and continued descending through the floors by breaking the ground, causing a powerful earthquake that shook the entire island. The power Kojou used to destroy the ground was by no means weak, especially in his current furious state, which caused him to use far more power than necessary.
Touka did not hesitate to jump after Kojou, using the debris as footholds because she couldn't jump down without slowing her speed; otherwise, she would have died from the impact, as Kojou had destroyed more than ten underground floors.

Saikai Academy.
On the school rooftop stood a beautiful woman wearing the official uniform of Saikai Academy, sporting a pair of round glasses and her hair styled in twin braids.
"It seems we overestimated ourselves," the girl muttered regretfully, staring toward the Keystone Gate.
"That's why I warned you not to mess with Akatsuki Kojou," said another beautiful girl stepping out of a purple magical circle.
These people were none other than Shizuka Koyomi from the Lion King Organization and the Witch of the Void, Minamiya Natsuki.
"Witch of the Void, we should have heeded your warning," Koyomi nodded bitterly. The Witch had already warned them against trying to manipulate Akatsuki Kojou, but they didn't listen, as Kojou was just a naive high school student in their eyes.
"So what will you do now? He's extremely angry," Natsuki said, pointing to the purple magical energy in the sky, which was emanating from Kojou, who was releasing a massive amount of magical power in his fury.
"We won't do anything. Akatsuki Kojou must have already figured out what we're trying to do, and he'll get even angrier if we try to intervene now," Koyomi shook her head lightly, gazing at the Keystone Gate with some hope. "So all we can do is hope that Fujisaka Touka can do something."
"Do you want to rely on a little girl to clean up the mess you caused?" Natsuki said with undisguised disgust. Although she knew the Lion King Organization were scum, she hadn't expected them to be such scum that they would throw the chaos they caused onto a 15-year-old girl.
Though Natsuki wanted to move herself, she was restrained by a contract with people from Gigafloat Management Corporation preventing her from intervening in this chaos.
"You might think we're harsh, but there's really nothing we can do," Koyomi shook her head regretfully as her form became blurry. "Akatsuki Kojou's power far exceeds our expectations, and we have no way to stop him. I doubt we could even kill him, which would only cause more damage to the island if we fought."
Previously, Koyomi had the confidence to kill Kojou or at least disable him without much effort. But after seeing his fight against Atalanta and the power he was releasing now, her confidence in defeating Kojou—or even rendering him unable to fight—was extremely low.
Therefore, Koyomi wisely decided to retreat, knowing that fighting Kojou would yield no benefit and only increase his hostility toward the Lion King Organization, leading to more destruction of the island—possibly even sinking it due to their pointless battle.
"Hmph!!..." Natsuki sneered and a purple magical circle appeared beneath her feet as she vanished to help control the situation. She couldn't allow the island to sink, even if she couldn't go stop Kojou herself.
Natsuki knew how much Kojou loved Itogami Island and was certain he would be heartbroken if he caused the island to sink while blinded by his rage. So she would do her best to prevent that possibility.

Keystone Gate.
Boom*
With a thunderous explosion, Kojou landed on the 40th underground floor where the keystone was located—a right arm of a dead saint from the West European Church.
"This magical power..." Rudolf muttered, staring at the overwhelming magical energy source—a very handsome teenager with shoulder-length silver hair and a pair of crimson eyes glowing with pure anger. "You are the Fourth Primogenitor..."
Rudolf couldn't help but feel some concern, as Atalanta's power was well-known to him, and he did not expect her to lose. She had gone to eliminate the Fourth Primogenitor, but that person was standing before him, meaning Atalanta had failed her mission.
"The old man..." Kojou said, glaring coldly at Rudolf. "I told you I wouldn't interfere between you and Gigafloat Management Corporation, but I've changed my mind because you dragged someone dear to me into your foolish fight against Gigafloat Management Corporation."
"But don't worry. After I vent my anger on you, I'll throw you toward the mainland with that stupid arm," Kojou said as his appearance began to change—his skin turned black, his silver hair became fiery purple, a purple horn appeared in the middle of his forehead, and a simple silver mask covered his eyes.
"You should be happy, old man, as you're the first opponent to face this power," Kojou said lightly, though his voice carried destructive power as he merged with Al-Nasl-Minium, granting him the ability to manipulate sound so that even simple words could become lethal blows to his enemies.
Cough!!... Kojou's attack was so powerful that Rudolf had no way to dodge the sound that entered his body, causing severe internal injuries.
[A/N: Imagine how Anos Voldigoad uses the sound of his heart to defeat enemies—it's something similar.]
"Astarte, kill him!!" Rudolf ordered, using all his strength to suppress his wounds. Even a single attack from Kojou had thrown his internal organs into chaos and caused severe injuries that would take months to heal.
