The road to completion starts from the Gate of Truth

In just a few tens of seconds, the oxygen concentration within a radius of hundreds of meters around it dropped rapidly by at least 3 percentage points, that is, the oxygen content here is equivalent to the atmosphere at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, and as long as the oxygen content drops by half, it will be equivalent to the plateau environment above 4,000 meters.

The human body is very sensitive to changes in oxygen concentration in the atmosphere, just like many people who go to Tibet will encounter altitude sickness. People who lack exercise in this regard will soon experience headaches, breathing difficulties and other reactions when they first come into contact with this low-oxygen environment. People with weak constitutions will also experience serious symptoms such as pulmonary edema and cerebral edema, and may even lead to death.

And if it is a physique like Accelerator who never exercises... Although it is not likely to have a serious altitude sickness because of the short time, it is still very likely that the consciousness will be blurred due to breathing difficulties.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Accelerator is not prepared for this aspect.

If he had encountered this method before the battle with Saten Ruiko, he might have really capsized in the ditch and been knocked down by breathing difficulties caused by the low-oxygen environment.

However, now he can disassemble carbon dioxide molecules in his alveoli and re-create oxygen molecules! Although this trick has been used for a long time, the carbon accumulated in the alveoli will put Accelerator at risk of pneumoconiosis, but as long as he uses his ability to clean his lungs after the battle, it will be fine. It can be said that this is the most complete hypoxic environment response plan he can think of at present.

‘What’s going on? ’ After nearly five minutes of continuous discharge, Misaka Mikoto, who had put on simple gas masks on her and Misaka sister’s faces at some point, quietly looked at the portable oxygen content detector in her hand and saw that the atmospheric oxygen content data on it had dropped to 15%. This was only because she was in the vicinity of the electric shock range and there was oxygen supplementation from the surrounding atmospheric convection.

That’s it. Misaka Mikoto, who thought she had a very good physique, also felt that she had difficulty breathing. The blood vessels on her forehead were throbbing, and bursts of tingling were faintly attacking in her head.

If it was where Accelerator was, the oxygen content in the atmosphere should have dropped below 10%. According to the information she obtained, Accelerator's physical fitness, which had almost never been exercised, should have caused a hypoxia reaction long ago.

But why was he still standing there, seemingly unaffected? Misaka Mikoto was in doubt, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

"What a pity!" Accelerator's voice penetrated through the crackling sound of the arc: "Your little trick doesn't work on me!" "!" Misaka Mikoto's pupils shrank, and without asking why or hesitating, she stopped the discharge and immediately grabbed the Misaka sister behind her, intending to retreat first.

- After the last killer failed, Misaka Mikoto knew that she could no longer do anything to Accelerator.

In this case, the priority of rescuing Misaka sister was obviously higher than the option of continuing to fight.

However, Misaka Mikoto wanted to escape, but Accelerator was unwilling to let the precious prey escape.

"Where do you want to escape to? The game is not over yet!"　　Huh--　　The wind suddenly started to blow on the originally windless night.

Misaka Mikoto noticed something was wrong and looked back. The scene in front of her made her heart sink.

--Accelerator raised one hand high, surrounded by countless air currents. He was like a real aerodynamicist, controlling the storm and manipulating the atmosphere.

The strong wind replaced the atmosphere of this low-oxygen toxic area with fresh air in an instant. The clouds in the sky also formed a cyclone cloud under the influence of the increasingly strong vortex airflow.

Then, the next moment, a scene that Misaka Mikoto was absolutely familiar with appeared in front of her.

In the center of the huge cyclone cloud, a group of air shining with white light was generated.

"This is, Saten-san's..."　　Misaka Mikoto certainly recognized what it was. When dealing with the fantasy beast, Saten Ruiko, who first showed her Lv.5 power, used this move, which really impressed Misaka Mikoto, who had a bit of violent factor.

She even wondered which one was more powerful, her ultimate move, "real thunderfall" or Saotome Ruiko's plasma bombing.

However, she never expected that one day she would see the same trick on another person, and this person would be her enemy! "Ah~ah~! I learned this move from the eighth one!" While controlling the atmosphere, Accelerator was like a child who just got a new toy, and said with great interest: "That guy's battle for fame" , I also checked the information specifically! Using the method of manipulating airflow to compress gas and create plasma is indeed much more destructive than the way I usually use my abilities. If she hadn't been there for me! Demonstration, I really can’t think of this move!” “I heard that you and the eighth one are very good friends?” Accelerator turned to look at Misaka Mikoto with a malicious smile on his face. : "Then let you try your good friend's tricks!" Accelerator waved his raised hand down hard, and the high-temperature plasma in the sky fell instantly - Accelerator, who had already been hit on the head, did not care at all. How much damage would it cause to Academy City? All he wanted was the pleasure of destroying his opponent.

"Don't even think about it!" At this moment, a figure appeared here that surprised Misaka Mikoto and made Accelerator even more excited.

With a move of her hand, the air that had been controlled by Accelerator was suddenly taken away from control. Like the most obedient soldier, he obediently accepted the command of the commander.

In an instant, the originally turbulent sky returned to calm, and the plasma that was about to fall to the ground was blown away by the air flow driven by the Level 5 aeronauts, and turned into ordinary gas again.

After Feng Qingyun calmly eliminated Accelerator's ultimate move, the visitor turned to look at the white-haired strongest: "Your opponent is me!" The third update is presented') 320'\u003e311 Chapter 19 Capacity Down

"It's begun!" On the roof of a building not far from the battlefield, researchers in white coats were watching the scene on the battlefield through binoculars.

"The third person's method has been proven to be ineffective. Now let's see if this eighth person can bring us any surprises!" A middle-aged researcher grinned, revealing a yellowed face full of incomplete repairs. Teeth said expectantly.

... "It's begun!" In the abandoned building on the side of the battlefield, Fang Yuan, who had not left the shop for a long time, appeared here at some point. From this good location overlooking the overall situation, he watched this time "The ultimate showdown".

Because the last battle was an encounter, neither side was prepared, and the final result could be said to be an anticlimax.

But this time it was different. Both Saten Ruiko and Accelerator had a sufficient understanding of their opponents, and they had also prepared enough "surprises" for their opponents.

This battle will truly determine the outcome between the two Level 5s.

In a sense, the battle between Accelerator and Saten Ruiko can even be regarded as an alternative competition between Fang Yuan and Aleister - after all, it is the powerful sub-server created by Fang Yuan with the magic of another world. , or the most powerful superpower created by Aleister using the superpower system.

"Little Leizi, let me see your progress during this time!" ... "Your opponent is me!" After the girl who broke into the battlefield said these words, Accelerator's face showed He showed a ferocious smile.

"Ah! That's right, that's it! Compared with the boring third place, you, the eighth one, really excites me more!" Accelerator didn't believe that the other party didn't see what he had just done, but even if That's the case, Saten Ruiko still shows up, which means that she is fully confident that she can fight against or even defeat herself who is no longer afraid of the vacuum environment! The white-haired boy's heart was filled with surging fighting spirit.

This kind of excitement has never been experienced in any battle before.

"Come on, let's fight to our heart's content!" "As you wish!" Saten Ruiko agreed to Accelerator's invitation to fight without hesitation.

boom--! The first one to launch the attack was Accelerator, who could no longer hold back his fighting spirit.

Facing the opponent who once made him flee in humiliation, Accelerator launched a large-scale attack without mercy.

Under the power of vector control, the ground Saten Ruiko and others were standing on suddenly exploded like an earthquake landslide. Countless gravel, reinforced concrete slabs, under the control of Accelerator, turned into deadly shotguns, with no dead ends in 360 degrees. The ground attacked the three girls.

The excited Accelerator didn't care whether he would hurt innocent people. Anyway, in his opinion, whether he was the third or the eighth, he was the "strongest" challenger who dared to jump out and challenge him, and was beaten to death. It’s not an injustice—as for Misaka sister? This is just a doll, not a person! However, he believed that an attack of this level should be nothing to the somewhat unusual eighth place! Sure enough, just as Accelerator expected, his attack had no effect.

The moment he launched his attack, Saten Ruiko also reacted in the same way.

An invisible transparent barrier was seen, firmly protecting Saten Ruiko and the two Misakas behind her. The gravel and steel bars that exploded like shotguns, after contacting this thin barrier, , it just made a "dong dong" sound, but none of it could penetrate it.

"Oh? Does the compressed air form a high-strength gas shield? What an interesting way to play!" Accelerator immediately saw through Saten Ruiko's method. This ultimate control of gas is indeed worthy of her Level. 5. The title of aeronaut.

But this is only "interesting" to him. What he wants to see is not just this level! "What kind of power do you have? Show it as much as possible! I have dedicated time to study you as an air user for a whole day! Don't let me down!" Accelerator said with a wild smile, his tone and demeanor He is indescribably arrogant and domineering, and he looks like a complete villain at first glance.

Of course, for this kind of villain, Saten Ruiko will also give him the treatment that a villain deserves: "I won't let you down!" After the words fell, a strong wind suddenly set off on the battlefield.

There is no doubt that this is the method of Saten Ruiko, the air user.

However, what puzzled others present, and even peripheral observers, was that the force of the wind that swept through the entire space was not even comparable to some Level 4 airflow manipulation ability users.

What is she trying to do? More than one person has such doubts in their mind.

However, the next moment, they knew the answer - not very strong winds swept across the entire area, high-speed airflows rubbed against each other in the complex building environment, and harsh noises came from everywhere on the battlefield.

squeak--! ! ! The noise is like fingernails scraping on a blackboard, which makes people feel unreasonably irritated.

But this is just a feeling felt by ordinary people who have no ability.

"Uh--!" After hearing the noise, everyone present except Saten Ruiko frowned with a look of pain on their face.

This noise is not just noise, it also contains some kind of special signal, which can disrupt the thinking and calculation process of the ability user who hears it, making it difficult or even impossible to use the ability.

"Is this... a decrease in ability?!" Misaka Mikoto had heard this kind of noise during the "Chaotic Opening" incident, and suffered a lot, so she reacted immediately.

Accelerator also felt something was wrong. After hearing this noise, the ability calculation process that had been going on in his brain suddenly became out of control, and even his thinking was somewhat disturbed.

"Noise that affects ability calculations? Damn it, this sound must be reflected away... Damn it! My mind is messed up!" Accelerator originally planned to use his own ability to block this noise, but he found that now he can't even It is very difficult to complete this simple calculation that only required a thought in the past.

In fact, under this kind of noise pollution, even the subconscious reflexes maintained on his body showed signs of collapse.

Even so, Accelerator, as the strongest superpower in Academy City, would not lose his powers so easily.

As long as he is given time, no more than ten seconds is needed, and he can complete the sound shielding and reflection calculations and regain the ability he had in his prime.

However, Saten Ruiko would not give him this time! Bang——! Saten Ruiko, who seemed not to be affected by the noise at all, disappeared in an instant. The next moment, she reappeared, already standing behind Accelerator, with one hand in the shape of a sword, slashing hard on the back of the opponent's head.

')321'\u003eChapter 320: Cheating at the Last Moment (Only two updates today)

Buzz—! Accelerator was trying his best to complete the key calculation when he suddenly felt a burst of stars and a heavy blow to the back of his head, which suddenly disrupted his thinking and made all his previous calculations useless. He couldn't even stand still and staggered to his knees. On the ground.

But, fortunately, he is still awake! "Tsk! Isn't that reflex ability completely destroyed?" Saten Ruiko thought that this move of hers could defeat her opponent, but she didn't expect that Accelerator was much tougher than she thought, even if the calculation of his ability was interfered with. She still retained part of her reflexes, so that most of the blow she had just calculated was blocked, and the remaining force was no longer enough to knock him out.

"It doesn't matter. If one blow doesn't work, just hit it again!" Saten Ruiko saw that the blow she just made didn't achieve the effect, so she immediately added the next blow without hesitation.

However, Accelerator, who had a knife on the back of his head, would not sit still and wait for death. At this critical moment, the strongest superpower in Academy City rolled around like a lazy ass, narrowly avoiding Saten. Another hand knife attack from Ruizi.

"Huh? You can still dodge?" Although he struggled to avoid the blow, facing Saten Ruiko who became serious, Accelerator, who was unable to use most of his abilities, only delayed his defeat.

Knowing that she could not give the opponent time to recover, Saten Ruiko, who had no intention of holding back, directly entered the state of divine speed. At a speed that was many times far beyond the limit of human beings, she circled behind Accelerator again, and then used a strike mixed with magic power. The hand knife attack ignored the remaining reflexes on the opponent's body and hit him hard on the back of the head, completely knocking him out.

Bang - Seeing Accelerator unconscious and lying on the ground, Saten Ruiko finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time stopped her wind control ability, the terrible noise that enveloped the battlefield finally stopped.

‘Tsk! In the end, I cheated with magic power! ' Saten Ruiko felt very dissatisfied that she had to rely on Accelerator's incomprehensible magic power to penetrate the opponent's defense in the end - before the war started, she thought about defeating Accelerator as a "Lv. 5 air user" throughout the whole process. It was defeated by Tongxing! But there is no choice. Although this opponent has a very bad character, he is indeed very powerful in the use of abilities. Even if he uses the Capacity Down simulated by her abilities, he still cannot completely lose his abilities.

Fortunately, the best thing she used was physical attacks like hand knives. The magic power did not escape. Even a professional magician shouldn't be able to see it... right? ​​..."Little slicker!" Fang Yuan, who was outside the battlefield, saw through Zuo Tianleizi's little trick and shook his head with a smile.

"It's a good idea to use the wind control ability to simulate the effect of the ability reduction device, but the final touch-up actually relies on the characteristics of magic power to be successful. Practice is still not enough!" ... "Is this... the end? "Recovering from the noise hell of "degraded ability", Misaka Mikoto looked at Accelerator who was knocked down in an instant, and asked blankly, with a look of disbelief on her face.

The number one person who left her helpless, the "strongest" who pursued "invincibility", was defeated so easily and skillfully at the hands of Saten Ruiko? ……In another building, the researchers who were paying attention to the battlefield here were all dumbfounded when faced with the result of the battle.

"The first one actually lost!" Someone murmured, with an expression full of disbelief.

——That Accelerator, the invincible, the strongest, who treated any attack like a breeze, was defeated like this? Lost to a mere aerial user, defeated to the eighth at the bottom... How is this possible! Some people cannot accept the facts, but others are worried about the reality after the battle: "Since the first one has been defeated, is the experiment we are conducting now still meaningful?" The basis of the experiment on the evolution of people with absolute abilities is based on Among all Level 5s, only the strongest number one has the possibility of evolving to Level 6. But after the number one is defeated by the eighth and lowest ranked one, does this foundation still exist? "No, it makes sense! Just because Accelerator was defeated, it doesn't mean that he can't evolve into an absolute esper! This time he lost to No. 8, but No. 8 just had the ability to restrain No. 1!" Regarding the previous one! Another researcher immediately refuted the researcher's concerns.

"Ability restraint? Are you kidding? No matter from which point of view, the ability of [vector manipulation] cannot be restrained by the ability of [atmosphere manipulation]! It's almost the other way around!" The researcher who was retorted fiercely He refutes another person's statement.

"...The eighth person can use his ability to simulate the effect of the ability reduction device, suppressing the ability calculation of the first person. What is this if not ability restraint? The so-called [vector control] is superior to [atmospheric control], but ordinary people I can’t figure out how to really use the abilities of the air user!” The debate over whether there is any ability restraint between the first and eighth place became more and more intense, and the two researchers who got angry were about to fight with each other. .

However, just as the martial arts show was about to take place here, the director who had been silent spoke up: "Stop making noise! ​​Everyone be quiet!" "...Yes..." "...I'm sorry..." "Can anyone explain, that Where did No. 8 get the data on the ability reduction device?" After the confusion was over, the director who single-handedly led the experiment on the evolution of the absolute ability person pointed out the key point.

"Well, according to our information, the third and eighth persons were involved in the follow-up incident of the 'Ability Body Crystal Experiment'. During the battle with Terestina Kihara Levrine, they were injured. Suppressed by 'capacity reduction' device.

Perhaps he came into contact with relevant data during that battle? ” A young researcher gave the answer.

"...Is it that incident... I didn't expect something to go wrong here!" The director pondered, still doubting in his heart.

"But why was she not disturbed? You know, 'diminished ability' is not just a bunch of noise, but complex data mixed into the audio in a specific way, disrupting the thinking and calculation of the person with the ability through hearing. Since these noises are Coming from the ability of the eighth, she must be the first to accept the test of 'degraded ability', and it is impossible to use the ability as usual. This has become a paradox! "Well, let these researchers figure it out! They would never have thought that the eighth person they talked about was actually not a serious ability user at all! Saten Ruiko's abilities come from the spiritual base in her body. The way she uses her abilities is almost like instinct. In fact, she is closer to a person with raw stone abilities. The noise that disrupts calculations contained in the "decreased ability" is normal to her. It's just ordinary noise, it has no impact at all! PS: Ahem! Sorry, there are only two updates today. Please forgive me, readers.

')322'\u003eChapter 321 BoyMeetsGirl

[The latest announcement is that the eighth Lv.5 superpower [Storm Commander] has been promoted to third place. The original third place and subsequent rankings have been moved back one place.

】 "Hey~~! I didn't expect that the eighth person who just appeared suddenly jumped to the third place. Have you challenged that bilibili?" The hedgehog-headed boy with the unfortunate right hand looked up and looked outside the airship. The latest news scrolling on the surface screen, he said with a sigh.

He knew Misaka Mikoto who wanted to unleash her power upon meeting him. He also knew that Misaka Mikoto was ranked third in the Lv.5 rankings. Now that she was suddenly pushed out of her position by a latecomer, his first reaction was naturally that the third Eight challenged Misaka Mikoto and won.

Well, his guess was half right.

There is a challenge, but it is not the eighth vs. the third, but the eighth vs. the first! After Saten Ruiko used her abilities to simulate "power decline" and defeated Accelerator, the "Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan" was frozen, and Academy City's top leaders immediately ranked the winners. renew.

However, considering that the Lv.5 ranking is not just about combat power, but also about research and versatility, Saten Ruiko, as an [Aero User], defeated the strongest [Vector Controller] in battle. ], but this time the victory itself was too tricky, and her ability to control airflow was much worse than the first and second place in terms of research, so she was finally ranked third, which was crowded. I got off Misaka Mikoto's position.

Considering the obvious difference in Misaka Mikoto's performance when facing the first place, it is not surprising that this result will be reached.

However, I just don’t know how the original fourth to seventh people would feel if they found out that they had been moved one seat back for no reason... "Well, but these have nothing to do with me as Level 0! Kamijou Touma shook his head, no longer caring about those things in the sky, and said with some self-deprecation: "I'll just be a salty fish who relies on props!" "...Mr. Store Manager, it should be fine, right?" In "There is a Shop", Kamijou Touma looked nervously at the "store manager" in front of him, who was inspecting the green lantern ring Kamijou obtained from this shop in a way that he could never understand. .

"Yes! Very good. The ring is running very well. It seems that its actual use effect is consistent with the design."

Fang Yuan nodded and expressed to Kamijou-san that everything was normal, which immediately made the hedgehog-headed boy feel relieved.

"So, did you notice any shortcomings during use?" Just like a real product supplier, shopkeeper Fang asked Kamijou Touma about his experience as an "experimental user" very dedicatedly.

"Uh... is everything okay? After having this ring, my daily life has become much more convenient, and also during battles. It can simulate a material force field, which can only bring misfortune. My right hand is much easier to use!" Kamijou Touma's mouth was full of praise for this green lantern ring. It seemed that he was indeed very satisfied with this "experimental product" given to him by Fang Yuan.

However, at the end, Kamijou-san still hesitated and said: "It's... it's this color. I always feel a little..." Obviously, Kamijou boy was attracted by the green light emitted after the ring was activated. I feel very uncomfortable. I always feel that this color will bring misfortune to me in some aspects. Is it an illusion... "Ah, there's nothing I can do about it. The green color that accompanies the force field is the force field itself. The nature of it cannot be changed!" In order to ensure that his evil intentions could continue, Fang Yuan told lies without hesitation.

"Yes, is that so? There's nothing we can do about it!" Kamijou Touma was a little disappointed, but he also knew that in this kind of scientific matter, you can't just do whatever you want.

Moreover, this is a high-tech product that the store manager kindly gave him to use. It is already a great favor for him, a Level 0, to experience the convenience of an ability user. He can't push it too far! "Then, give it back to you! Keep using it well in the future!" After completing the inspection, Fang Yuan handed the green lantern ring back to Kamijou Touma.

"Ah, thank you..." Taking the ring, the boy Kamijou thanked him politely.

Putting the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, Kamijou Touma felt the power hidden in the ring, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ah! I still find it unbelievable. I didn't expect that with the power of technology alone, There is a day when I, a Level 0, can become an 'ability user'!" Fang Yuan smiled and said nothing at Kamijou Touma's praise - he didn't know that he had turned into the [Fantasy Killer] who could only risk his life! How much impact will the transformation into "Green Lantern" have on future plots?

Just when Kamijou Touma stood up and prepared to leave.

Jingle bells——The door of the shop opened, and another customer came.

"Ah la la! There is such a strange store name. I don't know what exactly this store sells!" The person who pushed the door open was a man with long honey-colored hair and a slender waist. A girl with slender arms and legs, plump breasts that don't look like a junior high school student, and facial features as delicate as a doll.

Wearing Tokiwadai uniform, but also wearing white lace spiderweb-patterned gloves and stockings, and carrying a brand-name handbag on her shoulder, anyone who looks at her will say, "This must be a young lady from somewhere." Feel.

However, what attracted the most attention was the girl's eyes, which were shining like stars in a girl's manga.

Yes, this is the former fifth and current sixth among the eight Level 5s in Academy City, the Bee Queen with the title of [Psychological Mastery], the strongest psychic who has single-handedly mastered all abilities in the psychic field. , Shokuhou Cao prays.

After the girl opened the store door, she just casually glanced at the situation in the store. However, when she saw the hedgehog-headed figure standing in the store, she couldn't take her eyes away. Even, visible to the naked eye, the girl The stars in his eyes brightened for a moment.

"Good afternoon, I didn't expect to see you here, Kamijou-kun!" Shokuhou Misaki greeted Kamijou Touma.

"Eh? Um... do we know each other?" Kamijou Touma felt secretly happy that this girl with an incredibly beautiful body and face would actually greet him. Kamijou Touma felt very inexplicable - looking at her His attitude seems to be very familiar to him? But he had no impression at all... "..." Seeing Kamijou Touma's reaction, the sparkle in the girl's eyes dimmed for a moment, but was quickly covered up.

The beautiful girl with starry eyes elegantly covered her mouth with her hands and smiled reservedly: "Maybe you have forgotten it, but it doesn't matter, we can get to know each other again.

Hello, my name is Shokuhou Misaki, you can call me Xiaoqi. "

"Ah, ah! Hello, my name is Kamijou Touma!" I remember that this was the first time he was approached by a beautiful girl, and he was addressed in such an intimate manner. Kamijou Touma was quite at a loss and acted like a complete virgin.

')323'\u003eChapter 322: Girls are very wary~

After introducing herself to the "first" meeting, Shokuhou Misaki greeted Kamijou Touma warmly and appropriately, although she knew that this conversation and this encounter would be forgotten by the other party after they parted ways. But Shokuhou Misaki still takes every meeting with this boy very seriously.

"...So Kamijou-kun is a regular customer here? Then, it's up to you to introduce to me the products here...right?" At this point, Shokuhou Misaki noticed the items on display in this store. The uniqueness of the product.
