He didn't expect there to be any more surprises today. Not only did an unknown troublemaker arrive, but even the original clone of the clone showed up.
As for Haruharu and Toshinobu, he ignored them completely; Accelerator didn't care about these obviously useless guys.
"A Certain Scientific Railgun... the third one? Perfect! Saves me the trouble of looking for you again! Watching your boyfriend get crushed by me, and then tearing you apart with my own hands, that's the perfect script!"
Killing her would definitely reduce the fighting with the dolls.
Accelerator stomped down hard again, and Higashino let out a suppressed groan of pain, with more blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Let go of You!"
Mikoto's eyes were bloodshot with rage; the figure being trampled underfoot pierced every nerve in her body.
Without another word, she transformed into a streak of blue and white lightning and charged headlong towards Yifangtong!
This was not reckless; she intended to use high-speed movement and electromagnetic manipulation to interfere from the side, creating an opportunity for Higashino to escape!
She believed that as long as she created an opportunity, Yu would definitely find a way to escape.
"madness!"
Accelerator chuckled, not even bothering to move. He simply raised one hand and made a half-hearted gesture towards the direction Mikoto was charging from.
Om-!
The air in Mikoto's path instantly solidified like steel! A massive, completely chaotic vector force field was instantly formed!
"Ugh!"
Mikoto felt as if she had crashed into a wall made of countless spinning blades! The electromagnetic barrier fluctuated violently, shattering in less than a second! Chaotic vector forces instantly acted on her, sending her flying!
Just as her body lost control and flew backward, the tiny metal particles in the cracks of the tunnel floor and walls were instantly attracted and gathered by the powerful magnetic force! Like a giant black python, it rapidly formed a flowing black shield between her and the hard wall!
boom!
Mikoto crashed heavily into the flowing iron sand shield! The iron sand absorbed most of the impact energy and then scattered in all directions due to the force of the impact.
Mikoto grunted and rolled to the ground, landing awkwardly but avoiding a serious collision with the wall.
She knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, her eyes filled with undisguised shock as she looked at Yifang Tongxing.
"Tsk, as expected, the real thing is a bit better than those dolls, but that's all. In front of the strongest me, there's only one outcome!"
Accelerator scoffed, flicking his finger. Several pieces of rubble shaken off by the battle were instantly imbued with terrifying kinetic energy, shooting towards Mikoto like cannonballs!
Mikoto's pupils contracted, and before she could condense the iron sand again, she lunged to the side!
boom! boom! boom!
Debris exploded behind her, billowing smoke and dust. She quickly stood up, the coin already in her hand!
Three orange-red beams shot out; she planned to try attacking from multiple angles to see if she could find a weakness.
laugh--!
The beams of light were reflected the instant they touched Accelerator! One shot into the ceiling, blasting a deep crater; another grazed Mikoto's feet, carving furrows in the ground; and the last one hurtled straight towards Misaka 9999 and Toshinobu Fubuki in the distance!
"careful!"
Mikoto was horrified and forced herself to concentrate on controlling the magnetic force!
hum!
At the critical moment, the last beam of light was forcibly distorted less than half a meter away from the two people, and narrowly struck the open ground next to them!
"Ha, they even have the leisure to look after others!"
Accelerator completely lost his patience. He stomped his foot on the ground!
Boom!
Centered on him, a violent shockwave exploded outwards in a ring! Mikoto only had time to gather the iron sand in front of her before she was blown away again by this indiscriminate force!
Falling to the ground, Mikoto struggled to kneel up, panting heavily. Blood was still on the corner of her mouth, and the anger in her eyes was replaced by deeper exhaustion and despair, but she still stared intently at Higashino, who was once again trampled underfoot by Accelerator.
She struggled to stand up, but her body trembled uncontrollably.
The gap is too big! She can't even get close to that guy.
"sister!"
Misaka 9999, supported by Toshinobu Fubuki, let out a faint gasp.
"Misaka-senpai!"
Haru exclaimed and tried to rush over, but Mikoto raised her hand to stop her.
"See that? Trash?"
Accelerator stepped on Higashino, enjoying Mikoto's disheveled appearance.
"This is your little girlfriend? Pathetic! Just like you, she's a complete waste!"
He looked down at the dying Higashino at his feet, his voice filled with utter sarcasm: "Hey, you little punk. Weren't you so arrogant just now? Saying you'd defeat me? End the experiment?"
Accelerator's foot moved away from Higashino's chest, just as Higashino Yu's body relaxed slightly, seemingly trying to take the opportunity to struggle.
boom! ! !
That foot, carrying immense force, stomped hard on Higashino Yu's abdomen, sending him flying from the wall to the cold, hard ground as if he were a worm!
"Cough—Pfft!"
Higashino suddenly arched his back, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, staining the rubble and dust beneath him red.
"Is this all you can do?"
Accelerator ground his toe into Higashino's abdomen, enjoying watching his body contort and spasm in pain.
"Stand up! Didn't you say you were going to protect them? Didn't you say you were going to defeat me? Trash! Small fry! What's the difference between you and those clones I crushed with a flick of my wrist? No, you're even more ridiculous than them! At least they knew they were just experimental subjects, while you, an ignorant fool, actually dared to dream of challenging the pinnacle of Academy City?"
He bent down, his white hair falling down, his pupils staring intently into Dongye's unfocused eyes: "Too weak! Pathetically weak! Beating someone like you would be effortless! Understand? You, and all those things you're desperately trying to protect, are nothing but garbage waiting to be disposed of on the lab table!"
He raised his foot, this time unleashing a terrifying vector powerful enough to crush steel into dust, aiming it at Higashino's head.
The soles of the boots, carrying the power to turn steel into dust, stomped down fiercely!
This time, no one will stop him; accidents can't happen one after another!
And just as the sole of the shoe was less than a foot from the ground—
The aura of impending death and despair emanating from "Higashino Yu," who was being trampled underfoot and covered in wounds, suddenly changed.
The corners of his pale, blood-stained lips curled up abruptly, slowly, and clearly.
It wasn't weakness, nor was it forcing itself to stand up; rather, it was a kind of... all-seeing, condescending sarcasm.
Like a puppet that has been played with too much, it suddenly reveals a director's smile to its manipulator.
Accelerator's crimson pupils instantly contracted to pinpoints! A chill emanating from the depths of his soul suddenly gripped his heart!
A bad feeling began to grow in his heart.
laugh--
The "Higashino Yu" beneath my feet was erased from reality as if by an eraser, cleanly, thoroughly, and without leaving a trace, turning into nothingness.
Everything happened too fast, too quietly, too absurdly. It was as if the brutal torture that lasted for several minutes, the desperate cries of pain, the real stench of blood... were all hallucinations caused by a collective delusion.
Silence! A deathly silence enveloped the tunnel!
Mikoto's eyes, which had been glazed over from the intense pain, froze as she stared blankly at Higashino.
"Yu...are you alright?"
Chu Chun's gesture of covering her mouth froze in mid-air, in disbelief.
"S-Senior...he appeared unharmed?"
But just a moment ago they were at the devil's feet, how did they suddenly disappear and reappear unharmed behind him?
Chu Chun didn't understand, but the fact that her senior was alright swept away all the negative emotions in her heart.
A knowing look crossed Fubuki Toshinobu's indifferent face. His trust in Higashino was absolute, and he never thought Higashino was the kind of person who liked to talk big.
Misaka 9999 just stared blankly, her lifeless eyes revealing no emotion, but Toshinobu Fubuki, who was supporting her, noticed her subtle sigh of relief.
Sensing something amiss, Accelerator suddenly turned around!
It was firmly nailed to its back.
a step far.
Higashino's figure emerged leisurely, as if peeled from a frozen film of time.
He was completely unharmed, showing no trace of the disheveled state he had just appeared at my feet.
What Accelerator found most unacceptable was the extremely calm smile on his face.
Like observing an insect specimen futilely struggling in a flask, with a hint of condescending pity, a hint of all-knowing mockery, and a hint of... absolute ease in manipulating the strongest monster.
The sound of water dripping from the tunnel ceiling was like thunder at that moment.
In the silence, Higashino spoke.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a cold awl piercing through space, clearly penetrating the eardrum of a passageway:
"In your eyes right now,"
"What... is the truth?"
"When did you develop that sense of victory... that I never gave you?"
Higashino had his hands in his pockets, his eyes calm and expressionless.
It was as if the extremely brutal battle just now, the scene of being trampled underfoot and vomiting blood, was just a carefully woven illusion!
The entire abandoned tunnel fell into a deathly silence.
Misaka Mikoto forgot the pain, forgot the anger, forgot to breathe, and just stared blankly at the unharmed figure, her mind a complete blank.
Accelerator was completely speechless, his mind racing as he tried to comprehend everything that was happening before his eyes.
This guy's ability is working on him?
when?
When did it start?!
I was affected?!
Chapter 114 The 'Principle' of All Things, the 'Cause' of the World, and the 'Effect' of Reality
Inside the abandoned subway station tunnel, it was deathly silent except for the heavy breathing of the crowd.
Accelerator stared intently at Higashino Yu, who was completely unharmed and even had a mocking smile on his face.
One second the prey was trampled underfoot and on the verge of death, the next second it vanished like a phantom.
But Higashino appeared silently less than a meter behind him!
The shock of this huge contrast caused an unprecedented crack in his proud sense of "invincibility" and control over everything.
Logically, even mind control shouldn't be able to affect his reflexes, so why did it happen just now...?
"When...did you...?!"
Accelerator's voice was dry and hoarse, filled with unbelievable chaos.
Even his invincible mind couldn't understand how Higashino had influenced him, and the battle just now was not as simple as a false illusion.
A mere hallucination could never have the same real feeling as before, with the blood and fragments of internal organs still right at his feet.
Moreover, his abilities are always ready to be activated, so under normal circumstances, it should be impossible for him to be affected by mental abilities. However, Higashino disappeared and then reappeared behind him, which is an undeniable fact.
Higashino didn't answer his question. He simply took a step forward calmly, even somewhat lazily.
Accelerator's abilities are ineffective against him, just like a newborn tiger cub, posing no threat to him.
Higashino's disregard and continued forward march were like lighting a fuse.
"Damn it! You're playing tricks!"
The extreme shock was instantly replaced by the rage brought on by Higashino ignoring him.
