Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"This magic fleet made of frozen seawater seems to have the function of reducing the influence of civilization. What a clever idea."

Roland saw through the details of the attacker on the light screen and exclaimed in admiration.

As a high-magic world, it still needs to start from weak humans, which makes the style of Magical Index often begin to pursue higher-level concepts while taking into account power.

In comparison, the god-created races in Game No Life, who are born with powerful strength, may be due to the urgency of war and the doomsday environment, often blindly pursue destructive power and lack some ingenuity.

"However, the reaction is really fast. The day after the failure, the fleet was almost at the gate of Academy City. It seems that the Roman Orthodox Church has also lost its patience."

"All they needed was an excuse. After the conflict was intensified, this reaction was reasonable."

Aleister's tone remained calm, as if the next target of the attack was not his own base at all.

"However, if we want to express the Queen Fleet's art in an offensive way, the captain of Janice's unit is the most suitable person among the Roman Orthodox Church's subordinates. Since she has been captured by the Blue Dream Organization, there is only one possibility that the art has become complete."

Aleister looked at Roland, his eyes as calm as the surface of a deep lake.

"The Right Seat of God has been dispatched."

"As the secret weapon of the Roman Orthodox Church, in order to ensure the implementation of the plan, Academy City cannot be destroyed on a large scale."

"And the immature Imagine Breaker cannot play a decisive role. If you are not interested in this matter, I will activate the incomplete artificial angel."

Roland raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of understanding.

"Sister Network... No wonder you wanted to meet me."

Although he and Aleister were allies in name only, they were essentially just temporarily together because they shared the same goal.

The two trust each other but are also wary of each other.

Aleister allowed Roland to intervene in the Misaka network plan to show his sincerity, so he would naturally not make a mistake at this moment and start it without even saying hello.

"Are we going to start exposing part of the artificial heaven at this time..."

Roland hesitated for a while and shook his head.

If it is the original artificial heaven, although it is the core of the plan, it will not be a big deal if it is started ahead of time when it is incomplete. However, after being mixed with the power of the magnetic field, the impact will be completely different.

"The magnetic field environment has just changed. It would be a bit premature to start it now. Let me do it."

"Before, for the sake of the development of Blue Dream Company, I did not take the initiative to expose my true nature, but since it's an all-out war anyway, one more piece of evidence doesn't matter."

Roland said with a smile.

"Coming out in the open as a "dragon" can also attract the attention of those demons behind the scenes."

"With so many phases between us, the demon gods can't read the lines on my palm, but if there is no reasonable explanation, this can only deceive them for a while."

Aleister was stunned for a moment, and after a rare pause he spoke.

"But what if I have a reasonable explanation?"

"Although they are called demon gods, they are not beings that control everything after all, and they don't even have limited omniscience."

Roland chuckled. "Just like in a competition, the audience's attention will always be drawn to the team with the most eye-catching clothing. As long as we use this feature, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Aleister hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

As a madman who lists all demons as imaginary enemies, it can be said that no one in this world understands the working style of those behind-the-scenes masterminds hiding in the secluded world better than him.

Being as powerful as cheating is both the devil's thorny point and his biggest weakness.

The demons do not believe that humans can hide things from them.

Although this idea is not wrong, after all, as time passes, even the most sophisticated plans will reveal flaws inadvertently.

But because of their different perspectives, the demons' time scale is completely different from that of humans. Several months are just a blink of an eye. By the time they discover the abnormality, there is no need for him and Roland to hide anymore.

"How?"

Roland did not answer, but snapped his fingers confidently.

After feeling some invisible wave spreading, Aleister frowned immediately.

"Angel fallen?"

He spoke of this technique that only existed in theory in a slightly confused tone.

As a being who had climbed the Tree of Life and crossed the abyss, Aleister knew the reason for the angel's fall.

Using the Kabbalah principle that the number of humans and angels is fixed and their status levels are already prepared, the angels are forcibly demoted, causing changes in the human realm.

That is, the appearance and the inner self are replaced with each other, so that the caster can occupy the vacant angel position and complete sublimation.

But that wasn't what surprised Aleister.

Even though the Fall of Angels was a world-scale magic, it still couldn't tempt him. Even if a real archangel came, he had the confidence that he could turn the other party into a puppet under his control.

Aleister was surprised—

"The caster failed... Although the distorted four elements provided the basis for the activation of Angel's Fall, it seems that the user did not understand the full picture of this technique. Instead of changing his own status, he allowed it to spread to the whole world."

Because all possibilities were sealed in the tank, and because of the sanctuary of the building without doors or windows, Aleister was not affected.

But this did not prevent him from imagining what a strange scene the outside world had become, but despite this, his tone was not worried.

"Is this also part of your calculation?"

"By using this chaotic world, you, as an outsider, will directly overlap with the anchor point in the phase, eliminating the step of logging in, thus forming an integrated singularity."

"Yes."

Roland nodded naturally.

"After all, the layout is over, and it's time to reunite our forces and prepare for rehabilitation later."

"…Rehabilitation."

As smart as Aleister was, he could certainly understand the obvious hint in Roland's words.

In other words, are his plans and preparations ready to go?

As an outsider from another world, it is normal that he cannot get a full picture of the hidden pieces dropped by Roland due to information asymmetry.

This kind of unknown is also the reason why Aleister is willing to cooperate instead of using him according to his own wishes.

However, it is a little hard to understand when Roland noticed the opportunity for the completely native Angel's Fall ritual and included it in the preparatory steps.

Aleister was silent for a moment, then sighed, feeling somewhat complicated.

"It seems that putting you above the importance of the God of Purification and Demon Suppression is the best choice I have ever made."

"I just stood on your shoulders."

Roland shook his head and smiled.

"?"

You're actually quite humble?

Being used to the other party's arrogant attitude, this behavior made Aleister somewhat confused.

But Roland didn't want to explain. Instead, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Okay, it's almost time for me to act. Staying in this sanctuary will isolate me from the influence. If I delay any longer, by the time I leave, the archangel who was dragged down might have already blocked the door."

"It would be a shame if this shelter was blown up in the aftermath."

"No need."

Contrary to Roland's expectation, Aleister, who was just thinking, gave a direct negative answer after hearing this.

"Hmm? Why? Are you worried that I might flip over? But this isn't some grand ceremony..."

Roland was a little confused.

The fall of an angel might be the beginning of chaos or a ladder to heaven for others, but for him, that anchor point was already a part of himself.

There would be no noise or delay when combined with it, which is about the same as when it was connected directly with a cable and became an integrated machine. There is no possibility of failure or interruption. Aleister, who rejected the path of the demon god, should be very clear about this... No.

Soon, Roland seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively with some surprise.

"Could it be that the archangel was too confused when he was pulled down, and ended up getting lost, and hasn't reached Academy City yet?"

"No," Aleister's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat strange smile. "It's just that you were intercepted."

"From the current situation, it seems that she has mistaken someone else as the culprit."

Can an archangel mistake someone for someone else?

In the Christian Church, there should be no one who is more hated than me. Even if I don't reveal my true nature, the intuition I get from the phase sparks should point to me as the culprit...

and many more.

Because he was suddenly called by Aleister, he activated the backup plan in Aleister's sanctuary and made the ceremony possible.

If one is unlucky enough and conspicuous enough, and is unaffected by the phase sparks like oneself who is at the Star Breaking Realm, then there is indeed a possibility of being confused.

Roland's mouth twitched, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"No way……"

----

"Unfortunate!"

Kamijou Touma kept groaning as he ran as fast as he could on the road.

After unfortunately spending all his remaining living expenses, he finally managed to survive the days when he had to rely on his roommate for support. The day when his living expenses were finally coming to the account had arrived. Unexpectedly, after avoiding difficulties such as accidentally stepping on his bank card or the bank closing, his misfortune would be directly fulfilled in a physical way.

"What's going on with that girl? I don't understand anything about spell casters or anything like that!"

Kamijou-san complained as he looked around for a small path.

Although he would usually avoid these paths in order to avoid bad people and prevent others from mistakenly entering, now was obviously not the time to care about this.

The girl who is chasing them has proved with her actions that instead of worrying about her, it is better to worry about the bad people who encounter her.

“Kamijo, stop it!”

"We don't have the time now. That girl can easily summon a huge water gun to smash the wall..."

Kamijou Touma turned around and looked at the breathless Accelerator. When he saw that his roommate, who usually had an arrogant look on his face, was still looking at the person behind him with a serious look, he turned around belatedly.

Sure enough, the petite girl wearing a black tight straitjacket, with long wavy golden hair draped behind her and her eyes covered by neat bangs was already standing in front.

She had a thick collar around her neck with a leash attached to it, and her body was also hung with torture tools such as hammers, saws, and pliers.

It looks like some kind of cosplay, and a pretty heavy one at that.

She kept her head down, seemingly because she was shy about the outfit.

However, Kamijou Touma, who had witnessed the girl's ruthless attack with his own eyes, did not have any of the fanciful thoughts that a high school student should have. His mind was full of the other party's self-introduction when they met before.

Misha Kreutzef from the Russian Adult Education Organization who annihilated the White Book.

"Question one, since you are not the caster, why are you and your companions not affected by the Fall of Angels?"

"How would I know about that? Besides, what is the Fall of Angels..."

Kamijou-san gave a wry smile and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

After all, he had no idea about the other party's organization and purpose, so naturally he didn't know how to defend himself.

“Don’t worry about it, Kamijou, just hold my hand!”

Because he was blocked as soon as he went out, although Accelerator had a keen analytical ability, he did not notice the impact of the fallen angel, but this did not prevent him from sorting out the current situation.

"This guy is the type who will attack without any explanation. Even if it's just to protect ourselves, we have to defeat him first!"

"But... although you can use your abilities while I'm holding you, won't the output scale be much smaller? You can only barely resist this guy's attacks. If the stalemate continues, you will be destroyed by your injuries first!"

"I can't control that much anymore!"

Accelerator roared and immediately grabbed Kamijou Touma's arm. At the same time, the surging water transformed into a spear and attacked them again.

"Bam—!"

But unlike the water gun that was deflected last time, the girl's attack this time was much stronger than before.

Although he was trying his best to reflex, after the Heavenly Lock was lifted, as the injuries spread to his brain again, Accelerator's computing power would also decrease in real time. Therefore, the impact force that could not be resolved still knocked the two of them to the ground.

"One way!"

After rolling around on the ground for a few times, without even bothering to check his injuries, Kamijou Touma immediately looked at Accelerator.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the hand-holding gesture disappeared and the scars on the other person's body recovered again.

But this time, he did not help the other person up, but raised his right hand and approached the girl who was ready for battle step by step.

Although recently when facing bad people, Accelerator, who can release his abilities by holding hands, has been playing the role of protector.

Because he didn't want to reject the other party's good intentions, Kamijou-san maintained this restrained attitude.

But now is obviously not the time to just stand there and watch. Moreover, although his Imagine Breaker may not be as comprehensive as Accelerator's in terms of protection, he believes that he is no worse than the other in combat.

If you use Imagine Breaker directly to cancel the opponent's attack, it might be more effective.

"Let me deal with her! Her target is me anyway, Accelerator, run!"

Hearing this, Accelerator also struggled to get up, but because he was the one who used his ability to reflect the attack, the impact he endured was far more severe than that of Kamijou Touma next to him. His body, which had lost its ability, was simply unable to support the command of his will.

"hateful!"

Accelerator's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and punched the ground with such force that his knuckles bled.

Again, again!

Every time when his power should really be used, he can only watch like a cripple as the people he swore to protect sacrifice themselves for him.

He had originally accepted his current situation. After all, it was the punishment he deserved for his reckless behavior when he once had power.

But every time he felt this pain and powerlessness, Accelerator couldn't suppress his desire.

I don't care what happens to me, but at least this guy...

Looking at the pair of friends who had made up their minds, the girl frowned slightly and asked again in a voice that was almost emotionless.

"Repeat question one, why are you not affected by the fall of the angels?"

Although the man in front of him was suspicious, his attitude was too strange.

Moreover, the fact that the opponent could only use his right hand to activate his ability just now made her a little concerned, so she did not continue to attack and take his life, but asked patiently.

But obviously, this is a complete fantasy for Kamijou, who is pursuing science and has not yet touched upon magic.

Kamijou Touma raised his right hand vigilantly and muttered helplessly.

"So what exactly is Angel Fall? Please explain it to me..."

"That is a great magic that is affecting the entire world, causing the outer appearance and the inner self to replace each other."

Just when Kamijou Touma thought he would not get an answer, suddenly, a gentle male voice sounded.

The girl raised her head and looked at the man who had appeared behind Kamijou Touma out of nowhere.

"Question two, who are you?"

"The leader of Blue Dream, a hero who does it for fun, and"

As he said this, Roland's eyes were burning with greed.

"——Your future master." (End of this chapter)
