Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Accelerator came here wanting to think, to think about everything about the absolute power users, but he couldn't think, and didn't know how to think about it.

Accelerator possesses powerful computing abilities and a sharp mind, but unfortunately, his reluctance to communicate with others makes it extremely difficult for him to contemplate topics related to people.

After waiting for an hour, Accelerator suddenly realized that he had no other choice but to continue to believe the researchers and the tree-like design.

Despite being the number one and strongest Level 5 in Academy City, Accelerator, even with proper manipulation, ultimately can only obey the researchers' orders, becoming a pawn in their hands, completely at their mercy, with no autonomy whatsoever.

This is really...

"Haha...hahaha!"

Accelerator burst into maniacal laughter. The anger and humiliation in his heart only intensified his obsession with this experiment.

Sure enough, being the strongest isn't enough; one must be invincible. Only then will he be qualified to do nothing, to avoid scheming and intrigue, and to no longer have his life disturbed.

As expected... he really needs to become an absolute power user!

"Misaka was also happy to see Accelerator, the test subject, again. Was Accelerator also happy about Misaka's arrival? Misaka tried to be friendly to Accelerator because she wouldn't have to die today."

At that moment, Misaka 9887 arrived beside Accelerator.

"The time is now 20:22. There are three minutes left before the experiment begins. Please proceed with preparations."

"In addition, inform the experimenter, Accelerator, that the conditions of the experiment have been changed. Please ensure that Misaka is not harmed in any way. You can subdue Misaka without causing her any injury, otherwise the experiment will be declared a failure."

After saying that, Misaka 9887 was about to take off her goggles and prepare to begin the experiment.

"Before that, I have something I want to ask you."

Accelerator suddenly spoke, which surprised Misaka 9887 slightly. She said, "Misaka is surprised that Accelerator spoke to her, but Misaka agrees to chat with Accelerator, but please make sure it does not affect the experiment time."

Ignoring Misaka's unique tone of voice, Accelerator asked, "What exactly is going on? Do you know anything about this?"

Misaka 9887 tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled, and said, "Misaka doesn't understand what Accelerator is asking. Is Accelerator asking about the changes to the experimental plan?"

"Misaka is not clear about the reason for the change in the plan, but it is the researcher's order. Misaka will follow the order. Everything is for the sake of the experimenter's ability enhancement. Please do not question the correctness of the experiment. It is guaranteed by the tree-shaped design."

Accelerator's lips twitched; he now suspected the designer of the tree diagram.

"So, what are your thoughts on the changes to the experimental plan? Finally, you don't have to die, right? Are you happy?"

This time, to Accelerator's surprise, Misaka 9887 remained silent.

Accelerator's pupils contracted slightly. He had expected these little sisters to speak in a formulaic way, saying things like they had no feelings, but now... Misaka 9887 was silent.

After remaining silent, Misaka 9887 uttered words that Accelerator both wanted to hear and feared to hear.

"happy."

Misaka9887 softly uttered two words.

Accelerator's face was extremely grim, his veins began to throb, and an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

It's a feeling of guilt.

It seemed that in an instant, he was no longer killing cheap replicas worth 180,000 yen, but real people.

Nearly ten thousand real people!

Accelerator is not a madman or a serial killer. As a child, Accelerator was sad, cried, fearful, and angry because his ability always hurt others and he was unable to communicate with them.

Even now, as long as no one provokes him, Accelerator is a person who obediently follows all the rules and doesn't even have much bad behavior.

This doesn't mean that Accelerator is a good person, but it does show that Accelerator is ultimately a human being. Despite his great abilities, he is, in his heart, just a social being.

Now, a member of society suddenly killed tens of thousands of living people. Countless scenes of blood and gore, and countless severed limbs appeared before Accelerator's eyes, causing his face to contort in a ferocious expression.

"Stop joking, are you happy?"

Accelerator grinned maliciously and said, "A bunch of inferior clones, they don't even have any awareness of death. You're happy? Do you have any right to be happy? Do you think you'll be so happy if they don't die by my hand?"

"Anyway, with your constitution, you won't live much longer. Is it really that you're happy to just barely cling to life?"

Accelerator continued his sarcastic remarks with impunity, and no one knew why his emotions had suddenly changed.

123 This damn experiment

However, Accelerator's taunts and ridicule did not elicit any reaction from Misaka 9887; from beginning to end, 9887 remained with that wooden face.

This made Accelerator feel like a clown flailing his arms, while 9887 was just a spectator.

"Tsk, it's just this kind of thing as expected, a cheap product, nothing has changed."

After making a few sarcastic remarks, seeing that Misaka 9887 didn't react, Accelerator seemed relieved. He tilted his neck, his joints cracking, as if he was ready for battle at that moment.

But at this moment, Misaka 9887 seemed to have a slow reflex, only now realizing what was happening, and said, "Misaka can't be sure if this feeling is happiness, but not having to die, not having to endure that pain, makes Misaka feel much lighter. This feeling should be happiness, right?"

Accelerator's smile froze again, but he continued to hold his head high, saying disdainfully, "Pain? Haha, isn't that all you deserve? The purpose of your existence is to be killed by me, do you still have any complaints?"

"Since we're all going to die sooner or later anyway, what's the difference if we live a few more days? If I kill you, you won't have to endure the pain of your bodies collapsing. You'll understand which is more comfortable, a long pain or a short pain, when the time comes!"

Accelerator seemed to want to prove something, but Misaka 9887 shook her head again.

“Misaka has no complaints. Misaka was born for Accelerator’s Absolute Ability Project. It is normal for her to be born and die for this. Please rest assured, Accelerator, and do not feel any psychological pressure…” Misaka tried to comfort the uneasy Accelerator.

"Who's uneasy! A cheap replica dares to give me pointers?"

Accelerator suddenly roared, his blood-red eyes fixed on Misaka 9887, showing a tendency to attack at the slightest provocation.

However, Misaka 9887 felt no fear at Accelerator's ferocity. She had already died at his hands countless times, and death only brought her pain, not fear.

"When you die from the collapse of your bodies, you will understand my mercy. Death is the best destination for you inferior clones."

By now, Accelerator felt he had nothing left to say to these Misaka 9887s, because they were still the same people, only their fates had changed slightly.

"Time's up, experiment begins, Misaka prepares to attack."

Three minutes passed quickly. After Misaka 9887 informed Accelerator, she immediately picked up her shotgun and charged head-on at Accelerator, causing Accelerator to frown deeply.

What exactly is this Misaka Sister trying to do?

They've died tens of thousands of times, don't they understand that this kind of thing can't harm their own people?

To Accelerator's bewilderment, Misaka 9887 rushed to within two meters of him, raised her shotgun, and Accelerator grinned, waiting for Misaka 9887 to be riddled with bullets from his own shotgun.

Nothing could break through his defenses... No!

Accelerator suddenly realized something, and a crucial question came to mind!

Today's experimental objective has changed; it has become to subdue Misaka 9887 without harming her.

So, does that mean that if Misaka 9887 suffers reflected damage because she attacked Accelerator, it would also be considered that Accelerator damaged Misaka 9887?

The answer is undoubtedly yes.

This rule may not apply to others, but for Accelerator, when someone attacks Accelerator, it is actually Accelerator's counterattack against that person.

So that's what you were planning! No wonder you used a shotgun!

You bastard!

How dare they exploit such a loophole? Have these inferior imitations really grown up?

Accelerator's mind raced, and he immediately activated his ability. The shrapnel from the shotgun was no longer bounced back, but instead, after Accelerator adjusted the angle of reflection, it was deflected in all directions.

Some of the shrapnel even grazed Misaka 9887's body before flying out.

That was close!

Accelerator breathed a sigh of relief, but then became furious again. This kind of experiment...

However, Accelerator had no time to think about anything, because Misaka 9887's attack was not over.

Shrapnel grazed her body, but this did not frighten or make Misaka 9887 hesitate. Instead, electricity crackled under her feet, stimulating her body, and she strode towards Accelerator, continuing to get closer to him.

This action almost made Accelerator curse out loud.

Accelerator can indeed reflect all vector attacks and freely challenge the angle of reflection, but the problem is that the angle of Accelerator's reflection is pre-adjusted, rather than readjusted after sensing an attack.

To give a simple example, Accelerator's ability is like a mirror, and his vector attack is like a beam of light. Accelerator predicts the direction of the attack in advance, then adjusts the angle of reflection, just like setting up a mirror first, waiting for the light to hit the mirror, and then reflecting or refracting the light back.

It wasn't that Accelerator sensed the direction of the light the instant it hit the mirror, then positioned the mirror to reflect the light away.

The only difference between the two is the order, but they are vastly different.

The latter would mean that Accelerator could freely adjust the angle of his attacks, and could even instantly redirect attacks from all directions to one direction, bouncing them back in that direction.

Accelerator belongs to the former category, which means that he can freely adjust the direction of the attack's rebound only when facing a single attack with a predictable direction.

When Accelerator faces multiple attacks from different directions, all he can do is deflect them, but he can no longer control all of them.

This has nothing to do with Accelerator's ability strength or computing power, but rather that Accelerator lacks the means to sense attacks. If Accelerator could sense the direction of all attacks, then he could also adjust the direction of all attack rebounds.

Accelerator's strength and computing power are undoubtedly sufficient.

Given the current situation, Accelerator is already feeling the difficulties.

He has no problem defending against Misaka 9887's shotgun attacks. He can completely deflect all the shrapnel that fly in all directions, and he can even pre-adjust the angle of the reflection so that the shrapnel does not reflect towards Misaka 9887 as much as possible.

But that's all.

Misaka 9887 is now very close to him. If the shotgun continues to fire, the shrapnel will bounce off Accelerator's skin in all directions, since skin is not a smooth, flat mirror.

This wouldn't be a problem for Accelerator, but Misaka 9887, who was so close, had a very high chance of being injured by shrapnel she fired herself.

However, these shrapnel projectiles were indeed deflected by Accelerator's ability, so if Misaka 9887 was injured as a result, the blame should definitely fall on Accelerator.

This means that Accelerator's experimental objective—to subdue Misaka 9887 without harming her—will fail.

Once Accelerator understood all of this, all he wanted to do was kick the bastard who came up with this idea, kick him through the chest, and then blow his body to smithereens.

He's Accelerator, the number one in Academy City, the strongest in the world! Why is he being subjected to such a humiliating experiment?

Seeing Misaka 9887 raise her gun at him at close range, Accelerator's concern was not how to kill Misaka 9887, but rather how to prevent her from getting hurt!

"boom!"

A loud bang, but the sound did not come from the muzzle of Misaka 9887's gun, but from the ground beneath Accelerator's feet, where the ground suddenly exploded into a huge crater.

Caught off guard, Misaka 9887 lost her balance, raising her gun barrel significantly. The shot went into the air, and Accelerator used this opportunity to rush towards Misaka 9887, reaching out to grab the muzzle of her shotgun.
