On how PhDs become human evil

Bai Jie's words stunned Kanzaki Kaori.

Kanzaki Kaori had only witnessed Haku's actions once. That time, Haku untied the collar binding Index in just three seconds and forcibly suppressed the Auto-Book that was trying to retaliate back into Index's body. Based on this alone, Kanzaki Kaori was certain that Haku's strength far surpassed her own, and might even be comparable to a Demon God.

A demon god is someone who knows all the magical knowledge in the world and has ascended to the realm of gods through a special ceremony. An automatic book of knowledge with 103,000 books of magic, except that it has not undergone a special ceremony, is almost equivalent to a pseudo-demon god.

Therefore, it goes without saying how powerful Bai Jie was after forcibly suppressing and sealing the Automatic Book within Index's body. With such strength, Bai Jie indeed no longer needed to use the Angel Fall technique to become an angel.

"If it wasn't you, then who was the one who cast the spell?"

"Come on, calm down. Tell me what characteristics might be associated with the caster. That way I can probably find out."

"...Because this is a phenomenon that has never occurred in the magical world before, the only characteristic that can be used at present is that the caster's appearance has not changed."

"They didn't say anything, did they?" Bai Jie sighed.

There are seven billion people in the world. To find someone whose appearance hasn't changed among them is like finding a needle in a haystack, or panning for gold in the sand. Even Bai Jie couldn't do it in a short time. And if we waited for Bai Jie to finish, the caster would probably have become an angel by then.

"By the way, Kanzaki Kaori, you said the effect of this spell is to pull the angel down from another phase, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Then things are simple, just put that angel back into another phase, right?"

".....What?"

Put the angel back into another phase? Is there even such a solution?!

Kanzaki Kaori was shocked.

Patting her on the shoulder, Bai Jie laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you send the angel back. I'll help. Just think of it as a bedtime exercise. You'll sleep really well after doing some stretching exercises."

Chapter 531, brothers, I skipped today.

As the title suggests, due to issues with the new book, I don't have the energy to update today.

Also, for some reason, my lower back has been incredibly sore for the past few days. Even turning over in bed hurts for a while, and sitting for long periods also causes a dull ache. My lower back was in constant pain during the day when I was working on the outline for my new book.

In conclusion, please allow me to rest today. I'm sorry everyone.

Section 532, Chapter 31: Finishing A Certain Magical Index III in the morning and afternoon.

Exercise before bed?

Bai Jie's words caused Kanzaki Kaori's thoughts to pause for a moment: "You...do you even know what an angel means?"

"Isn't it just a birdman with wings? Although I've never actually fought an angel, I have fought a god. Angels are probably no match for gods, right? Well, it would be best if they could."

Angels and gods alike are nothing to Bai Jie. Since the beginning of human evil, even the Herrscher of the End, who can clear the earth, can no longer arouse Bai Jie's interest. The three-headed dragon he fought in the Type-Moon world before did satisfy him to some extent. Although if that three-headed dragon did not have 99% physical and magical resistance, it would only take three moves at most in front of Bai Jie.

I've said it many times already, Bai Jie is currently in a state of extreme itching for a beating, and it would be just what he wants if more people beat him up.

Kanzaki Kaori was no longer sure whether Bai Jie was arrogant or confident. She was a saint, one of only twenty nuclear warheads on the magic side, but even she could only barely contend with angels. What exactly did Bai Jie rely on?

"boom--"

Magic erupted from Bai Jie's body, and the unbelievable power completely froze Kanzaki Kaori's face: "This magic power... it's not just the quantity, but even the quality—are you really human?"

"The heart is still human, but the body isn't." Bai Jie shrugged and said, "Besides, you'd better leave here. You probably won't be able to participate in the upcoming battle."

"Huh?"

"Why do you think I would release my magic? It's sinful in every way. What would happen if the angels found out?"

Although they each have their own functions, angels are basically all beings of absolute good, while Bai Jie is absolutely evil. If an angel were to detect Bai Jie's magic, he would inevitably follow his inner aversion to evil and launch an attack on him without regard for anything else to eliminate him.

Bai Jie didn't know if the angels in this world were like this, but the angels in the Type-Moon world were like this—probably.

(This is probably the first time I've ever seen an angel. I wonder if I can use any of the angel-related knowledge I have... No matter how much theoretical knowledge you have, you still need to practice. Is this what they mean by "practice makes perfect"?)

Magic power surged forth from Bai Jie's body like a tidal wave. If measured in terms of quantity, the released magic power was enough to rival the magic power of tens of thousands of mages in their lifetime. Yet, Bai Jie showed no signs of fatigue, his breathing remained perfectly steady, and he even gradually increased the output power of his magic power.

At a certain moment.

"come yet?"

Bai Jie suddenly looked up at the sky, and a bright star suddenly appeared in the focus of his vision!

Immediately afterwards—

The blue light, like the sunlight illuminating the world, instantly filled the entire sky, and the sea in front of Bai Jie immediately surged with towering waves!

(Can mere manifestation cause such a cataclysmic change in the world?)

Bai Jie saw through the series of strange phenomena at a glance, and the corners of his mouth turned up even wider.

The mere manifestation of an angel could cause such a catastrophe-like change in the world? If we're categorizing them by the degree of trouble they cause, the upcoming one should be in the same category as Bai Jie!

"Om-!"

A feeling of holiness—that's the only way to describe it—lit up the sky, and then a blue dot of light slowly descended. The dot of light descended silently, like a ray of light descending from heaven. With Bai Jie and Kanzaki Kaori's superhuman eyesight, they immediately identified the true form of the light.

That was a person.

It was a person who was about two meters tall and had a female appearance.

Her face had no facial features, only the outline of a woman's appearance that could be barely discerned.

She had no skin, only a slippery fabric covering her body.

The fabric cascading down to the back of the head replaced hair, spreading out in a trumpet shape.

The white fabric was decorated with patterns resembling golden leaf veins, secured with matching pins.

The figure had crystal-like ice wings on its back. The ice wings varied in length, some only a few tens of centimeters long, while others were over a hundred meters long. They could move independently, and the wings of different lengths collided with each other, making sounds and sparking unpleasant sparks.

—Those ice wings could probably cut through mountains with just a gentle swipe.

Bai Jie's intuition told him.

That is... an angel!

“Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————!”

A cry indistinguishable to humans resounded from its mouth, an angelic voice powerful enough to pierce the soul and shake everything in the world. Bai Jie clearly felt that the world was becoming rapidly unstable because of the appearance of the angel, like forcibly stuffing something into a shopping basket that was already full. If something is added when the space is already 100% occupied, then things exceeding 100% capacity will naturally burst the container.

Upon seeing the angel descend to earth, Kanzaki Kaori understood the angel's true identity without much thought.

"The power of God, Gabriel, has actually sent down such a high-ranking angel?"

[Divine Power] Gabriel.

An angel who governs water, blue, and the moon.

In the Old Testament, this angel destroyed a corrupt city with a rain of fire.

In the New Testament, this angel told the Virgin Mary about the conception of the Son of God.

An archangel who can summon the night to enhance his own attributes and attend to God.

Now, this archangel has been summoned.

"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The roar echoed throughout.

The atmosphere roared and transformed into a raging storm that swept across the sky. If it were to fall on the earth, it would probably destroy most of the city.

Naturally, the human ear cannot accept such a sound.

If the sound of sharp fingernails scratching across a blackboard is unpleasant, then the cry of an angel can awaken the original sin within people, instilling a sense of guilt and easily pushing them beyond the limits of humanity.

"It's noisy."

However, some people ignored the roar and the announcement of the angel's arrival.

On the beach, the surging magic billowed his clothes and his hair danced in the magical wind. Brushing aside the bangs in front of his eyes, Bai Jie's scarlet eyes stared straight at the angel.

"Hey, come do some exercises with me, angel."

P.S.: I caught up on A Certain Magical Index III. I hadn't finished watching it back then, and I'd been meaning to catch up ever since, but I kept forgetting. So I took the opportunity to do it today.

P.S.: Bai Yi, the old man from the same region, is so handsome!

Section 533, page 32: I didn't want to post them in two separate posts, so I'm posting them as one.

A vortex of air rose from beneath his feet, and Bai Jie arrived high in the sky, facing Gabriel.

"Om-"

Black light gathered in his hand, and the Holy Lance of Twilight came into his grasp. Bai Jie pointed the spear tip at Gabriel.

The moment the Holy Lance appeared, Kanzaki Kaori, who was on the beach, seemed to have encountered her natural enemy. Her body trembled with fear, and her saintly body was constantly—even frantically—warning her that the spear must never be touched!

Previously, facing Bai Jie directly had made Kanzaki Kaori feel like she was facing a formidable enemy, but that was at most like a cheetah seeing a lion. With some effort, she could control herself. But that gun was different! The relationship between Kanzaki Kaori and that gun was practically like that between a rabbit and a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

That was a fear that couldn't be overcome by courage and willpower alone!

Even Kanzaki Kaori, who only possessed a portion of the divine child's power, felt this way, so Gabriel, as a true archangel, naturally also felt the threat posed by the Holy Lance!

"—"

The soul-piercing roar abruptly ceased, and Gabriel looked directly at Bai Jie, his eyes revealing a mechanical, icy emotion.

"Shh!"

With such a sound, the sky was split in two.

It was a sight caused by a flash of light passing through space.

Suddenly, behind Gabriel, the wings of ice transformed into blades that blotted out the sky, slicing through the surroundings.

The flash of light was actually a visual phenomenon caused by Gabriel wielding his blade-like wings. The speed was so fast that it approached the limit of human dynamic vision, and its target was Bai Jie!

A sudden attack! If the ice wings, capable of easily severing mountains, were to strike Bai Jie, even he would be severely injured! He currently lacks absolute resistance to slashing attacks and absolute resistance to ice attributes!
