Kasukabe You: [It's all shiroyasha's fault!]
Kudou Asuka: [shiroyasha, pay up!!]
Izayoi: [shiroyasha, open the door. You had the guts to bring him in, now face the music.] [Don't hide!!] [lol~!]
Izayoi was having a blast.
Little Garden had been wild lately.
Everyone knew the War God was brought in by shiroyasha, so now all the chaos he caused was blamed on her.
Reading through the chat, Takumi couldn't help but laugh.
Good thing he didn't bring that War God into his own world.
Who knows what kind of disaster he'd have started?
Better to let the War God wreak havoc in Little Garden instead!
shiroyasha: [What does War God Ashtel's mess have to do with me, shiroyasha?] [I don't even know that guy!] [He was just someone I brought along.] [Thanks for the invite, but we're not related.]
shiroyasha wasn't taking any responsibility. The War God's mess wasn't her problem.
Takumi: [Anyway, I'm off to go beat up Accelerator.] [Talk later, it's about time.]
Chika Fujiwara: [Beating up Accelerator?] [Now that sounds satisfying!!]
Ruiko Saten: [I'm with Mikoto already. Hurry up!!]
After glancing at the group chat, Takumi closed it.
It was time to get moving.
"Bronya, you coming?" he called out toward the bathroom.
Bronya's voice came back: "You go by yourself. You'll be back in no time anyway."
Just beating up Accelerator? That'd be quick work for Takumi. She didn't see the point.
Takumi didn't press the issue.
"Alright, I'm heading out."
With that, he disappeared from the room.
No big deal if Bronya didn't come.
He instantly locked onto Mikoto and the others' location.
Not only were Mikoto and Ruiko there, but Kuroko was present too.
When Takumi suddenly appeared, Mikoto and Kuroko both jumped in shock.
"Teleportation ability??" Kuroko stared in disbelief.
Was Takumi a space user too??
Mikoto was equally curious. This Takumi guy had so many abilities.
Was being overpowered just standard for these types of characters?
"Spatial abilities are just one of the many I have. No need to be so surprised."
Takumi smiled at Kuroko.
She was shocked just from seeing a spatial ability?
If she went to his world and saw the Winged Races, every one of them could use spatial powers.
She'd probably have a mental breakdown.
"Emm..." Kuroko was dazed but didn't argue.
"Bronya-senpai didn't come?" Ruiko asked.
Takumi came alone, so where was Bronya?
"She's at the hotel. Beating up Accelerator won't take long."
"Let's go. Time to set up. The experiment should be starting soon."
With that, Takumi opened a spatial rift and stepped through.
Seeing him casually tear open space, Kuroko was dumbfounded.
What the?!
How did he do that?!
Kuroko was completely stunned. You could just open space like that and walk through it?!
Her own teleportation suddenly felt pathetic in comparison.
"My teleport doesn't feel special anymore..."
Kuroko muttered in frustration, staring at the rift.
Ruiko laughed.
"Don't compare yourself to Takumi-nii."
"He has spatial authority. Controlling space is basically second nature to him."
After all, Takumi was a Herrscher.
This was a level far beyond what Kuroko's power could reach.
"Yeah, no kidding."
"Just this alone is something I probably could never achieve."
Kuroko knew her limits.
Her spatial power was only one small aspect of a much larger domain.
If what Ruiko said was true, then Takumi was basically a god of space.
Chapter 303: Just Go With It
Takumi brought everyone to the rooftop of an abandoned building.
This was the experimental site for tonight.
Takumi had, of course, heard the conversation between Kuroko and the others. Arriving at the destination with time to spare, he began chatting with Kuroko.
He shared some of his understanding of space with her. Although Kuroko's ability was simply teleportation, that was just on the surface.
This girl could move steel needles into people's bodiesif her ability were developed further, perhaps it could evolve into full spatial control.
Takumi had a good impression of this tsundere girl, so he didn't mind offering some guidance.
And Takumi's version of "guidance" was to directly cram spatial knowledge into Kuroko's brain.
Kuroko stood there, dazed, overwhelmed by the sudden influx of spatial theory.
She couldn't react for a moment.
"Study well, understand it thoroughly. Who knows? Maybe you'll become a Level 5 someday."
"I believe in you, Kuroko."
He patted her shoulder encouragingly.
Kuroko gave a strained smile.
"Easier said than done. It's not like I can just level up by wishing for it."
Reaching Level 5? That felt like a pipe dream.
So she didn't take his words too seriously. Maybe one day, but certainly not soon.
While they were chatting, a figure appeared below.
She looked exactly like Misaka Mikoto, except her face was emotionless and she wore tactical goggles.
This was one of the Misaka Sisters.
Seeing her arrival, Takumi immediately said,
"She's here. Let's wrap this up."
It was Kuroko's first time seeing a Misaka Sister.
She could hardly believe it.
Was this really her beloved Onee-sama's clone?
Back in the dorm, Mikoto had explained things to Kuroko, which was why she came along.
Yup, teleportation really comes in handy.
They didn't want the Level 6 dorm manager catching them. That would mean another punishment.
After saying his piece, Takumi teleported down.
His sudden appearance startled the Misaka Sister.
"An unplanned individual has appeared, do~."
"Unidentified male, please vacate the area, do."
Although she was startled, she still tried to carry out her programmed duty and expel Takumi.
At that moment, Mikoto and Ruiko were teleported down by Kuroko.
When the Sister saw Mikoto, her mood immediately shifted to joy.
"Misaka #10006 greets Onee-sama, do!"
"Onee-sama!!"
She hadn't expected to meet her beloved Onee-sama. This was too delightful.
Mikoto looked at her clone with a complicated expression.
"From today onward, you no longer need to participate in this experiment. You'll come with me instead."
At that moment, Takumi spokethrough the Misaka Network.
When his message hit the network, all the Sisters were stunned.
"This is bad, this is bad! The Misaka Network's been breached!"
"?(_)?"
"It's the voice of Big Brother, do!!"
"Big Brother? Where's Big Brother?!"
"Let me see, I want Big Brother too!"
"Misaka #10557, shut up! No stealing Big Brother!!"
Takumi's message caused complete chaos within the Misaka Network.
At the same time, the institutions involved in the Level 6 Shift experiment were thrown into disarray.
Takumi didn't waste words.
As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.
In that instant, he took control of the entire spatial framework of Academy City.
Those with spatial abilities felt it most intensely.
They sensed that the entire world's space had changed.
Even if they wanted to use their abilities, they couldn't.
Someone had taken complete control of all spatial permissions.
Even Aleister wasn't exempt.
He felt it the moment Takumi made his move.
"Such terrifying power."
"Absolute spatial dominion!"
Aiwass appeared from the void.
Sensing the spatial shift, even he had to sigh in admiration.
"But he's not an enemy."
"Really?"
Aleister didn't care. For the first time, he felt completely at ease.
Takumi wasn't his enemy, so what was there to worry about?
He could just relax.
Once Takumi left this world, he probably wouldn't let those Magic Gods off the hook, right?
Aleister just needed to watch.
He didn't need to do anything.
Whatever Takumi wanted, Aleister would give it to him.
As long as the Magic Gods were finished, everything would be fine.
Even if Takumi wanted to take the entire Academy City with him, Aleister wouldn't object.
"Heh, exactly."
Aiwass nodded in agreement.
Now that he knew this world's future, he had lost all interest in it.
If possible, he'd like to explore other worlds.
Maybe he'd ask Takumi later if there was a way.
Decision made.
As for Aleister?
Forget about him.
Maybe once the Magic Gods were gone, Aleister would just off himself.
That guy was capable of anything.
Crossdressing, even. And he actually enjoyed itcan you believe that?
He threw away his dignity long ago. The possibilities with him were endless.
He could become anything.
...
Takumi released his authority and enveloped all the research institutes he had locked onto.
The next moment, imaginary numbers descended.
Massive spatial rifts swallowed all those institutes.
With a casual wave, Takumi finished it.
Then he turned to Mikoto and said,
"You all can go in now."
"I've already secured all the Sisters."
"I'll send them to my world later."
"If there's anything you want to say, go in and say it now."
"Their physical conditions aren't great. The sooner they get treatment, the better."
With that, Takumi opened a spatial passageway for them.
Mikoto was stunned.
She stared blankly at Takumi.
Was he serious?
Wasn't this a joke?
Did he really bring all the Sisters together?
Ruiko quickly spoke up.
"Let's go in. Takumi-nii is that powerful. Believe in him."
Even if no one else believed him, she did.
She knew best just how strong Takumi was.
If he said he'd done it, then he really had.
They had to go in and see the Sisters now.
Once Takumi sent them away, they might never get the chance again.
The Sisters' bodies needed proper care.
Sending them to Takumi's world and letting Mobius help was the best choice.
Chapter 304: Eat, Sleep, and Beat Up Accelerator
The birth of the Misaka Sisters was absurdly cheappitifully low in cost. After all, they were created solely for experimentation. Those heartless bastards never once considered their life spans.
Sending them off first thing in the morning was the right call. The sooner they went, the sooner they could be treated.
Ruiko urged everyone to head inside quickly. Everything outside could be left to Takumi. Their job was to go see the Sisters.
Once they entered, Takumi was left alone at the scene.
This time, Takumi hadn't just sent in the surviving Sisters. Even those who had died, or hadn't been activated yet, were all transported. If he said he'd take them all, he meant it. Not a single one left behind.
Dead? There were backups in the Misaka Network. He could revive them later.
To Takumi, this wasn't even a big deal. After sending everyone into the imaginary space, he waited idly.
Why was that guy taking so long to arrive? Bronya was still waiting for him, after all. He grumbled to himself.
Before long, a pale-haired figure with a gloomy expression slowly emerged.
When Takumi saw him, his eyes lit up. "You're finally here, bro! Too bad you're late."
He greeted Accelerator in a very familiar tone.
Seeing this stranger who wasn't part of the plan, Accelerator frowned. "Who are you?"
He had no memory of this man. Someone outside the plan?
He frowned even more. How had those useless fools allowed an outsider into this?
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm here to tell youthe Level 6 Shift Plan is over."
"Come on, kid. Beat me. If you can defeat me, you'll become Level 6."
Nomore than just Level 6. You'd be unmatched in the world. That is, if you could defeat Takumi.
Accelerator's face darkened. "What did you say? The plan is over? Who the hell do you think you are? You don't just end it like that."
He clearly didn't believe him. This stranger must be spouting nonsense.
Frustrated, he stomped his foot lightly. A pebble flew into the air, then shot forward like a missilestraight at Takumi.
If this guy wanted to talk big, then let's see what kind of strength he had.
But Takumi didn't get angry at the sudden attack. As the pebble approached, a spatial rift opened in its path and swallowed it.
Then, behind Accelerator
BOOM!
The same pebble crashed into Accelerator's own body.
The explosion rang out, smoke billowing. He'd been hit by his own attack.
Not that it mattered. After all, his reflection ability was always active.
As the smoke cleared, Accelerator reappeared, glaring fiercely at Takumi.
"Hehehe... so this is your power? Interesting, very interesting. Hahaha! Let's fight!"
Accelerator became completely fired up.
Maybe this guy was telling the truth. If he could defeat Takumi, he really could become Level 6.
With a crazed laugh, Accelerator shot forward, throwing a punch straight at Takumi.
"You're going for close combat? Are you serious, you weakling?"
Takumi sighed, unimpressed, and raised his fist.
BAM!
"Ugh..."
With one punch, Accelerator vomited out everything he'd eaten the night before.
His mind was a mess.
What just happened? Why didn't his reflection work?
What he didn't know was that Takumi had gone easy on him. If Takumi had really hit him seriously, Accelerator would've been taken out on the spot.
This punch was merely a light warning.
Before Accelerator could react, Takumi placed his other hand on his forehead.
BOOM!
A deafening blast erupted.
Takumi slammed Accelerator into the ground.
His reflection was completely nullified.
Pain surged through his entire body, nearly making him pass out.
His head was ringing.
Why? Why? Why?
Huff... huff...
His breathing sounded like a broken fan.
Every breath came with a spurt of blood.
His nose and mouth were soaked in it.
He was nothing like the intimidating figure from before.
The supposed strongest esper in Academy City was floored in just one round by Takumi.
Takumi calmly pulled out a camcorder and zoomed in on him.
"The invincible Accelerator... has fallen."
"Well? Feel the gap now?"
After snapping a few pictures, Takumi smiled and uploaded them to the Academy City network.
In just a few seconds, thanks to his hacks, the photos spread across the internet.
Even Accelerator's own phone buzzed with a message.
Not that he had time to check ithe was too busy questioning his entire existence.
Huff... who... who are you?
Accelerator's face was pale, twisted in disbelief.
But somewhere deep inside... he felt relief.
