Chapter 598: Kaguya and Ai Troubles, Psykos Future Sight! Monsters are Gone!
On Misaka Mikoto's situation, Rei Ao already had a clue. The upper echelons of Academy City weren't something one psychic girl could handle alone. Forget Aleisterjust Accelerator alone was far beyond what she could manage.
Originally, Rei Ao himself wouldn't have been able to completely solve Mikoto's world's problems either. But now things were different.
[Name]: Rei Ao
[Level]: 80
[Abilities]: "Freeze", "Self", "True Sight", "Transform", "Blessing", "True Devil Form", "Divine Soul", "Spirit King", "One True God", "Cognitive Disappearance", "Sword Aura Mastery", "Crimson Dragon God", "Gene Code", "Tenfold Incarnation", "Authority of Storms", "Time & Causality Interference"
[Possessions]: "Sole Divine Artifact: King of All", "Grimoire: Ilia Fragment", "Grimoire: Astir's Manuscript", "Awakening Stone x2"
[Description]: To you, even a galaxy is but a breath away from annihilation.
At Level 80, taking on a Magic God (from Mikoto's world) was still a fantasy. But since he had the concept of "True Devil Form," maybejust maybehe had a shot at going toe-to-toe with a Magic God.
After all, "Magic God" inherently carries the word "Magic." Of course, the details would depend on actual circumstances.
There was no guarantee that True Devil Form would grant him a "Magic Godlevel" position in Mikoto's world without testing it out first.
Everything would become clearer only when he was physically there.
Mikoto, for her part, had gone silent, and the chat was in an awkward lull. Nobody wanted to poke at her sore spot. Clueless about the context, Ai Hayasaka also kept quiet, though she sensed that this "Mikoto Misaka" from the group was facing some serious trouble. However, Ai had no idea she would soon face problems of her own.
Kaguya Shinomiya: "Aiare you there?"
Ai Hayasaka received a private message from her Lady, Kaguya. She probably was watching the broadcast as well.
Ai Hayasaka: "Yes, Milady. What is it?"
Kaguya Shinomiya: "Aiyou Are you really a spy sent by my brother to watch me?"
"What?!!!"
Ai Hayasaka's heart and mind trembled. She found out? When did this happen?
Kaguya Shinomiya: "II saw it in the chat room's history. Ai, I want you to tell me"
Apparently, Kaguyaout of curiosityhad scrolled through older messages and come across those where Ai had mentioned reporting on Kaguya's situation to her older brother, Shinomiya Oko. In that instant, Kaguya felt as if the sky had fallen. After wrestling with it for a long time, she decided to confront Ai.
""
Ai Hayasaka recalled how, in the chat, she'd indeed spoken too frankly. She had completely forgotten that new members can see older messages. And now there was no way to lie her way out.
"Huu"
She took a deep breath. In some sense, she felt reliefshe decided to come clean.
Ai Hayasaka: "Milady, I'm sorry, everything I said is true."
Ai Hayasaka: "I was sent by Shinomiya Oko to monitor you."
Ai Hayasaka: "Now that you know, I'll leave. Of course if you want to punish me, I'll accept it."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "Ai! What are you saying!"
Kaguya Shinomiya: "There's no way I'd 'punish' you. I know you feel guilty, but this isn't your fault."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "The Hayasaka family has always been a Shinomiya branch family; I get that."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "I just want to knowAi, are we real friends or not?"
Ai Hayasaka: ""
Ai Hayasaka: "Of course. Precisely because of that, I can't forgive myself"
Kaguya Shinomiya: "Then that's enough."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "I'm not blaming you, and I'll find a way to change this situation, too!"
Ai Hayasaka: "Milady"
Reading those words filled Ai with a warm feeling. Butshe knew that Lady Kaguya alone might not be able to stand up to her brother.
If she's going to try, then
"I have to do something too," Ai thought, eyes falling on the "Trade" featurethe only trump card she possessed.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Tatsumaki and Fubuki's fight had grown even fiercer. Tatsumaki was finally taking her sister seriously. A question lingered in her mind: How did Fubuki suddenly become so strong?
Rei Ao, who had granted Fubuki that power, wasn't paying close attention to their heated battle. Instead, he was occupied with something else.
Having become this world's One True God, removing certain unstable elements of this world was a necessityparticularly the monsters. The way monsters formed here served no purpose in his eyes.
Monster Association
After seeing that bizarre and "unknown" future, Psykos had been on edge the whole time. She couldn't figure out what had happened. The future she had deemed certainhumanity's downfallwhy had it shifted?
"What on earth changed?"
"Could it be that the Hero Association is up to something?"
She kept guessing, even thinking of dispatching monsters to the surface to investigate. But then she froze. Her Third Eye abruptly activated again, showing her another new future.
"The monsterswill be destroyed"
"???"
Psykos was dumbfounded. How could the monsters suddenly be wiped out? The Monster Empire was supposed to be the real future! She began wondering if the Third Eye's power was malfunctioning.
"Huh Maybe I've been underground too long. I need to step outside."
She left her room, intending to head up to the surfacebut something felt off. Silence. Absolute silence. You could hear a pin drop. In the Monster Associationwhere constant roars and howls should echoeverything was eerily calm, which was definitely not normal.
With a frown, she headed toward the main hall. As she arrived, her face went blank with shock. There, she saw the Monster King, Orochi, slowly turning to ash. Glancing around, she noticed piles of ash everywhere. Judging by Orochi's condition, those must be what remained of the other monsters as well.
Recalling her vision, Psykos murmured in a daze:
"The monsters really are being destroyed"

Chapter 599: Psykos meets the Sisters (Bonus Chapter)
A vast, empty wasteland
In just an instant, the entire Monster Associationfrom Wolf-level all the way up to the strongest Dragon-level Orochihad been eradicated, turned to ashes and scattered to the winds.
Psykos sank to the ground in defeat.
The Monster Associationdestroyed.
A new future This leaves me lost.
"Monsters are extinct, gods have perishedeverything in the world is changing"
Who in the world could possibly alter the entire course of reality?
"Were you looking for me?"
A strange voice startled her. She looked up from her spot on the floor.
Before her stood a man, calmly studying her with interest.
"You are?"
She tensed in alarmbut then her eyes froze, wide.
Her Third Eye activated again, automatically.
"!!!"
She saw it. At last, she truly saw it:
This man had killed a god, become a god, and changed the world with but a single thought.
"You you're a god"
Psykos mumbled in disbelief.
"Oh?"
Rei Ao crouched down and lifted her chin.
"So your name is Psykos, right?"
""
"You really wanted to destroy humankind?"
Psykos, face pale, shook her head.
"The world's future has already changed. The future doesn't belong to monsters anymore."
Because the god standing before her had wiped monsters from the rules of reality itself. Now the future belongs to humanity. All her efforts, all her theoriesreduced to nothing.
"God do you plan to kill me next?"
Rei Ao chuckled.
"Why would I kill you? Hey, Psykos, how about becoming my servant?"
Considering she was a beauty with top-notch looks and a great figure, it would be a shame to just kill her. Besides, what she'd done hadn't really inconvenienced him.
"A servant of a god?!"
Psykos stared, astounded that a deity would say such a thing to her. But then a spark of frenzy flared in her eyes.
"I accept! Please let me serve you!"
Rei Ao nodded.
"Then come with me."
He took Psykos away, leaving the Monster Association's underground lair buried in dirt, as though it had never existed.
Elsewhere
"How could this?!"
Tatsumaki lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky. Around her stretched a massive crater, as if an asteroid had crashed. Her clothes were ragged and torn, and she lay in its centerthe aftermath of her battle with Fubuki.
In the end
"Sis, I won,"
Fubuki said, standing over her. Yes, Tatsumaki had lostto her younger sister. For the first time, she felt truly lost.
"Oh? Looks like you two are finished."
Rei Ao reappeared. Fubuki glanced at him, immediately drawn to the woman standing beside him.
"Huh?"
That woman was extremely sexybut there was something familiar about her.
Psykos also locked eyes on Fubuki.
"Long time no see, President."
"???"
One word"President"jolted Fubuki's memory.
"You're Psykos?!"
At Fubuki's Home
Tatsumaki had barricaded herself in one of the bedrooms. Ever since being beaten by Fubuki, she'd shut down, refusing to speak.
Fubuki felt her proud sister needed time to process what had happened. Right now, her attention was entirely on Psykos.
The Psykos before her was worlds apart from the one she remembered.
In the past, Psykos had been a sweet, unassuming girl. But now Fubuki sized her up.
Isn't this level of "sexy" just overkill?!
"Fubuki," Rei Ao said. "Let me introduce you: this is Psykos. She created the Monster Association. And now she's my servant."
"???"
Fubuki blinked, wondering if she'd misheard.
"The Monster Association?"
"Indeed, basically an organization of monsters that mirrored the Hero Association. In terms of power, it was roughly on par with them."
"Huh?!"
Fubuki was stunned.
"Butthat makes them humanity's enemy! Psykos, why would you do that?"
"Heh."
Psykos snorted a laugh.
"No grand reason. I saw humanity bringing about the world's destruction, so I decided to explore a new path."
"You saw it"
Fubuki recalled something.
"Your Third Eye!"
When Psykos invented the Third Eye, Fubuki had been aware of it. But because of theoretical differences, the two parted ways afterward. Fubuki hadn't seen Psykos since.
Evidently, the Third Eye had revealed something that influenced Psykos's worldview and led her down this pathbecoming the Monster Association's creator.
Fubuki, full of complicated emotions, turned to Rei Ao.
"Rei Ao, do you also believe humans should be wiped out by monsters?"
She worried he'd taken their side.
"What are you even thinking?"
Rei Ao rolled his eyes.
"Monsters have already been erased from this world's rules. There won't be any more monsters born in the future."
"Eh?"
Fubuki froze at those words. Psykos, on the other hand, grew zealously excited:
"President Fubuki, you really don't understand our master's power. He has removed the rule of monsters, killed a god, and given the world a new future."
"???"
Fubuki felt a headache forming. But she refused to be outdone:
"Hmph, I know Rei Ao's power better than you doin every sense, thank you very much~"
Whether from witnessing his power firsthand or from being pinned beneath it, Fubuki was quite confident in that regard.
"What did you say?"
Catching Fubuki's implied meaning, Psykos narrowed her eyes. She then knelt before Rei Ao.
"Master, let your loyal servant tend to you now!"
"???"
Fubuki's jaw dropped. Is that even allowed?
"I knew it!"
Right at that moment, Tatsumaki burst out of the bedroom, glaring furiously at Rei Ao.
"So it's you who made Fubuki act so weird!"

Chapter 600: Battle at the Tip! Kuroko Shirai's worries for her Onee-sama
"So it really is you who's making Fubuki act weird!"
Tatsumaki had heard enough. She'd discovered that Fubuki obtained a power even stronger than hers through some sort of "physical trade" with Rei Ao. That was cheating!
She was about to flare up when she noticed Psykos in the middle of performing a servant's "duties."
A single glance made Tatsumaki's cheeks burn red.
"Whatwhat on earth are you doing?!"
Psykos completely ignored her, calmly focusing on her work. Seeing that Rei Ao had no objections, she grew even bolder. Her actions made Tatsumaki's heart thump with horror, and even Fubuki hadn't expected Psykos to go this far.
As for Rei Ao himself, he clung to the principle that if he wasn't embarrassed, then the embarrassment fell on everyone else.
Leaning back on the sofa, he was calm and unruffledoccasionally casting a challenging look at Tatsumaki.
"If you envy Fubuki's power, we can make a deal," he offered.
"I do not envy her!!!"
Tatsumaki snapped, face red with rage. She turned around, trying to block out the sounds by covering her ears.
"I'd never sell my body for power!"
"Oh dear, what a pity."
Rei Ao sighed dramatically, then shifted his gaze to Fubuki.
"Fubuki, mind if I use your couch?"
""
Fubuki's eyelid twitched as Psykos adjusted her posture, taking it up a notch on said couch.
Aren't you already using it? Then why even ask?!
In the end, she just gritted her teeth.
"Whatever. Suit yourself."
And so Rei Ao really did as he likednot only using the couch but also using Psykos. Watching from the side, Fubuki's face grew heated.
She witnessed "enthusiastic to the point of begging for mercy," and various, shall we say, "poses reminiscent of riding a bicycle." The whole scene left her unsettled, reminding her of how wretched she herself must have looked during her own time with Rei Ao.
Meanwhile, Tatsumaki kept her back to them, hands clamped over her ears, never once turning around. Still, she stayed in the room, as if she herself wasn't quite sure why.
Some time later, Fubuki couldn't hold back.
"Rei Ao don't you think Psykos is about todie?"
She was watching Psykos so thoroughly drained, it looked like she might lose consciousness any second.
