This Is Real Combat / The Omnipotent One
No, that's not right. This feeling of shared origin... the other party might really be in control of her abilities.
On the other side, Takanashi Rikka smiled with delight.
"Successfully, I've applied Imagine Breaker's simulation ability to Kurotama, and incidentally, I've also simulated Accelerator's Vector Control."
Whether she's strong or not is another matter, but Rikku's abilities are all limited to within 100 of her strength. For example, if she uses vector power, she can move objects that are 100 times her 25 kilograms, or 2.5 tons. And the speed of movement under vector control is roughly 100 times her fastest running speed, which is 6 meters per second.
If calculated this way, it seems that her combat power is very strong. Unfortunately, there is a corresponding constraint between the mass of the object being moved and the speed of movement, that is, the multiplication of speed can only reach a maximum of 100.
For example, if a vector control is applied to an object with a weight 10 times its own body weight (250 kg), then the object's speed can only be 60 meters per second.
The attack power at this speed is close to that of a cannonball.
Therefore, the difference in damage between different multipliers is significant. For example, controlling an object the size of a coin with an initial velocity close to 600 meters per second is far less powerful than Railgun's electromagnetic cannon shot (with an initial velocity of over 1000 meters per second).
However, with increased mass, reaching 25 kilograms, the maximum mass that guarantees 100 times the power would generate a destructive force far greater than that of an electromagnetic railgun, equivalent to a cannonball. Although the penetrating power would decrease, it wouldn't necessarily be weaker.
Therefore, it seems that Rikku's ability to control vectors alone is already stronger than that of LV3.
Not to mention, when she uses vectors, she also gains all of Accelerator's abilities, such as reflection, albeit in a degraded version.
However, this alone is certainly not enough to deal with Accelerator.
For example, her simulated Imagine Breaker has a weakness: it will become ineffective if the impact force is more than 100 times that of her full-force punch. So if she faces Accelerator, as long as the opponent launches a slightly stronger attack, Takanashi Rikka will die instantly.
However, if her abilities were given to powerful clones, it would be different; it would become a buff similar to that of Sister Doma.
Giving Kurotama the Imagine Breaker ability is equivalent to adding a means of countering ability to Kurotama's original combat power. As a result, she is much stronger at dealing damage to ability users than Touma.
When Vector Control is applied to Kurotama, the objects she moves become linked to her own abilities. She can unleash damage approaching that of Accelerator with almost no effort.
Therefore, fighting her is like facing a version of yourself who possesses the ability to defeat Imagine Breaker.
Even more terrifying is that this Imagine Breaker can be released remotely.
It's safe to say that if Su Lin, using her full clone combo, were to participate in the battle, her true strength would already be at the angel level. After all, if she were to grant X a series of buffs such as Vector, Weakening, and Imagine Breaker, then use Sister Doma to boost all attributes by 50%, and finally have Nightingale cast a Sanctuary Shield, provide continuous healing to Wave, and incidentally place a few cages to divert the enemy's attention, she would likely become incredibly powerful.
If this mission is completed and X Spiritron Dress is successful, then Academy City can be destroyed in one blow without any buffs.
"Hmm, it seems that Rikku's abilities also have a weakness: they rely on calculations based on understanding."
Takanashi Rikka opened her palm and looked at her own hand, conjuring a mirror in the process. Seeing her own silly and dazed appearance, she let out a soft sigh.
"Let's continue testing with Accelerator. I just don't know if I can correct his personality. Surely we don't have to hand over Touma?"
As she made this decision, a piece of information implanted by the system suddenly flashed into her mind:
[Sensitive behavior has been detected in the host.]
The system cannot completely correct the current situation logically, nor can it prevent Aleister from monitoring your behavior.
[Current danger level: 0.2 (maximum 100; it is recommended to stop such behavior when the danger level exceeds 60)]
"0.2 danger value, what is that?"
[The danger value represents the unsafe impact of the chain reaction caused by the host's actions on your own body. 0.2 indicates that the chain reaction caused by previous actions will hardly harm you.]
Rikku remained silent.
How dangerous is it? Given the system's capabilities, this calculation shouldn't be wrong.
That's right. Judging from my current performance, I guess I'm probably just baffled by what I've done.
Then he probably became very interested in Su Lin's abilities and considered using him to achieve his ultimate plan.
"System, by the way, speaking of which, each world I visited before must have had a corresponding purpose, right? For example, when I went to the Black Bullet World, you carved out a part of it. And in the first world, you eventually established the World Anchor. So, what benefit would it bring to send me to a high-level world like A Certain Scientific Railgun, where even the World Will is so powerful that you dare not act rashly? You know, the Demon God of this world is a true native god, an invincible being in its native land."
She had thought about it for a long time before asking this question, although it sounded a bit awkward coming from her mouth.
The purpose of this system is not ulterior motive; the host can obtain more information by clicking on the task 20 times consecutively.
The system screen popped up and landed directly on the task interface.
The current mission remains to resolve the Absolute Ability User project and save the Misaka Sister, but the mission completion rate is 0%.
She ignored this and quickly clicked on the task. After twenty clicks, the screen indeed changed.
[World Erosion Level: 13% (Participating in major events will increase the erosion level)]
[Current Erosion Level Permissions: Time Reversal (up to the point of time travel in the A Certain A Certain Scientific Railgun universe), History Rewriting (minor forced modifications to past events), Higher-Dimensional Interference (using higher-level power to influence local deities)]
[Note: Using this permission requires energy.]
Current world energy value: 22833 (including the total energy of all worlds to date)
[The ultimate goal of this world: to explore the possibilities for modifying the rules of the world.]
Chapter 247 This is Real Combat
On site.
Accelerator, who had been slapped to the ground, staggered to his feet.
He covered his face and suddenly let out a strange laugh.
"Ha, ha, I actually got knocked to the ground? Interesting, interesting, you actually managed to hit me..."
My emotions were so high that I couldn't even think about anything else.
Accelerator's arm swung out, imbued with Vector Control abilities and his own strength, striking towards Kurotama's face.
"Really."
With a slight tilt of her body to the side, Kurotama deftly dodged the opponent's attack.
In terms of skill, the gap between the two sides is too large.
"Actually, someone at level 0 could also beat you."
Watching Accelerator fall past her, Kurotama grabbed her shoulder and slammed her to the Upper Rank One. She was then sent hurtling several meters away like she'd been struck by a bull.
Kurotama can't possibly be as strong as Yukino, but as a super-skilled assassin, it's not difficult for her to demonstrate exceptional skills in direct combat.
Aside from his abilities, Accelerator is not much different from an ordinary person. At this point, he can be said to have encountered an opponent who completely counters him.
Unexpectedly, Accelerator, who had fallen to the ground, stood up again and launched another attack on Kurotama without hesitation.
He was easily countered as well, and this time, Kurotama even lashed him with the hilt of her sword.
Although he wasn't holding it directly, the pressure from the Imperial Arms still caused Accelerator to experience a momentary hallucination.
"Don't get too cocky."
Accelerator realized that he had no chance of gaining an advantage in physical combat, so he prepared to use his abilities to launch a ranged attack.
As soon as he stomped his feet on the ground, a steel bar flew toward Kurotama's shoulder.
"Hmm, you're not going to kill me?"
It seems he wouldn't kill an ordinary person outright. The fact that he could kill the Misaka Sister with a clear conscience is probably because of the scientists' deception.
With a single slash, Kurotama realized that the opponent's second wave of attacks had arrived.
Compared to before, it seems to be a bit more powerful.
The railway tracks, containers, and piles of rocks and dirt on the ground lashed at her with the fierce wind.
If the previous attacks could only injure people, this wave has been fatal.
No, it's not just about lethality.
Yukino immediately picked up the Misaka Sister and fled into the distance, while Rikku set up a shield and retreated rapidly.
Misaka Mikoto was also affected; the powerful Tatsumaki was filled with fragments capable of piercing through the human body.
Such an attack is impossible for Kurotama to withstand with her weak defensive capabilities.
Even with the added power of Rikku and Sister Doma, she was destined to be unable to withstand enough physical damage to tear her body apart. Therefore, she could only use the same method, reflecting the damage with her vector abilities.
However, Rikku's ability ceiling is too low. Once she uses reflection, the effect of Imagine Breaker will be weakened, making it difficult to harm one side.
At this moment, Kurotama couldn't help but think of Kamijou Touma.
"So the fact that the cult leader has such thick blood is really ridiculous."
In the original series, he fought this guy for so long as a Level 0, flew into the sky and fell without any problems, and survived the dust explosion. You can only say that he is worthy of being the protagonist.
And most importantly, Aleister would never allow Touma's life to be in danger. Touma himself also possesses immense hidden strength; he's destined to be alright.
"Huh? Why are you running away? Show us your true skills!"
Accelerator shouted, and countless terrifying fragments struck Kurotama's body before being bounced away.
The space between them seemed to shatter, crackling and popping.
Countless steel bars bounced back and forth between the two, a battle of vector abilities against vector abilities, leaving Misaka Mikoto, who had fled to a distance, dumbfounded.
"Are you kidding me?" Railgun endured the wind pressure, shielding her face with her arm as she tried to see the situation clearly.
Kurotama has never shown this level of ability in front of her before.
Such clashes took place amidst Accelerator's maniacal laughter, as he began to grasp techniques he had never mastered before, now that he had an opponent of equal caliber.
The airflow affected the clouds, and dense lightning appeared in the crowded cloud mass, forming a plasma ball with a powerful voltage in mid-air.
"I just feel like this kind of fighting isn't a solution."
Takanashi Rikka is a Combat Type clone with a time limit, so there's no need to waste time with Accelerator.
Kurotama spends most of her time in her Daily Type, switching to her Combat Type only a few times a day, for a total of less than an hour.
"This is really troublesome."
Controlling the power in her entire body, she suddenly took a step towards Accelerator.
With a swift movement of his knife, countless steel bars shattered in a flash.
Accelerator's expression changed slightly, and he had no choice but to release his power on his legs, causing his body to retreat rapidly.
"So, Kurotama had the upper hand from beginning to end?"
Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but think of something: if Accelerator was absolutely superior in strength, couldn't even defeat one of Su Lin's clones, then would the No. 1 in Academy City change hands?
"Pfft~~"
Kurotama's fist struck Accelerator's face once again.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to change Accelerator if I do this?"
She frowned. She didn't have Kamijou Touma Kamijou's verbal skills, not to mention that Touma's strength was LV0. Being defeated by the weakest would have a far greater shock effect than losing to a LV5.
However, Kurotama's current actions are not without meaning. At least in the original series, Misaka 9982 was destined to die, but now she has survived.
If Accelerator were to be sent to the hospital today, the Absolute Ability User Project would be forced to pause for at least the foreseeable future.
During the pause, let's work with Railgun to dispose of all the related facilities. Maybe then the Misaka Sister can be completely saved.
Most importantly, we need to get Kamijou Touma involved as well.
In Aleister's eyes, Imagine Breaker is no less important than Accelerator.
The reason why Su Lin dares not act rashly is still her own lack of strength. X's so-called strength is only relative. In addition, without obtaining the Spiritron Dress, she dares not go to see Aleister.
Survival is of paramount importance.
Although Accelerator unleashed astonishing fighting power in this battle, he was still countered by Kurotama's Imagine Breaker (fake).
Of course, her Imagine Breaker isn't the real one; compared to Kamijou Touma, the two are still vastly different.
At least at its maximum potential, Rikku's abilities cannot compare to Touma's right hand.
Chapter 248 The Uomo Universale
Accelerator collapsed to the ground.
Kurotama's final blow was very powerful, breaking several of the opponent's bones.
Looking back now, you can see quite a few Misaka Sister already standing in the distance.
All the individuals stared at this scene in disbelief.
"At this point in time, it seems that Nunotaba Shinobu hasn't implanted the emotion program into the Misaka Sister yet, but she must have been preparing to do so for a long time."
It's suspected that the process was hijacked by Last Order, but it doesn't matter. Last Order is the command center for all the Misaka Sister. The way she develops emotions doesn't seem to be too different from how the other Sisters develop emotions.
