162. Come at me head-on!

"Teasing you?"

Momo shrugged, then shook his hand, seemingly to relieve the pain from punching someone, and said, "I don't have the time for that, Accelerator, because I have no interest in you."

"If it weren't for venting my anger towards you, I would have already paid attention to people who need me more right now!"

Accelerator felt Momo's blatant contempt and disregard. When did the strongest in Academy City fall to such a state?

However, Accelerator remained silent in front of Momo. Looking at the white light surrounding Momo, Accelerator had no confidence whatsoever.

That was something he didn't understand. Until he understood what it was and what it was that could restrain Momo's power, he obviously wouldn't pose any threat to Momo.

"What exactly do you want? If you're just toying with me, I'll take you down with me even if I die!"

Accelerator spoke harshly, but this wasn't just empty boasting; it was genuine ruthlessness. Accelerator could wipe Academy City off the map in an instant. Although he currently lacked confidence in defeating Momo, he still had the resolve to take Momo down with him.

Mo Mo was completely unconcerned about Accelerator's harsh words.

Despite his immense power, Accelerator remains constrained by Academy City. This is not only because he lacks courage despite his strength, but also because Academy City is his last refuge.

If he were to truly destroy Academy City, Accelerator's abilities would turn him into a demon roaming the world. That is the future, and Accelerator himself probably fears it in secret.

"I've already told you, I'm a businessman, and I'm only here to beat you up to vent my anger."

"Because I feel sorry for my Mikoto, I feel sorry for the Misaka sisters who died at your hands, and I also feel sorry for the house you just destroyed. That was a great house that I planned to use as a resort in Academy City!"

Accelerator's lips twitched, filled with disbelief. Was it really just for such a reason?

Suddenly, Accelerator felt that he had been beaten up and was really wronged.

"Don't you want to kill me? In the eyes of you people who live in the light, what I did is simply unforgivable! Besides, I was planning to kill you."

"Yes, I did want to kill you, but I'm not some kind of arbiter. I hit you because I felt sorry for them, and that's your fault. As for whether they will seek revenge because of their hatred for you, I haven't decided yet."

"If they really decide to kill you, I won't hold back then. Today, beating you up like this has vented my anger, and that's enough for me. Next, I need to appease Kuroko and clean up the mess that Misaki made."

As Accelerator listened to Momo's tone, it was clear that, just as he had thought, Momo had extremely close relationships with many Level 5s. However, contrary to his expectations, these relationships had absolutely no connection to him, Accelerator.

His thoughts just now were nothing more than paranoia.

This made Accelerator feel even more aggrieved. He had come here today to fight, only to have one of his hands taken away and his head beaten up like a pig's. What was the point of all this?

"That's it?"

Accelerator asked the last question, but this time Momo gave a negative answer, saying, "Obviously not."

Upon hearing this, Accelerator became wary again and said, "So, in the end, it still comes down to fighting?"

“I don’t really understand you guys,” Momo scoffed at Accelerator’s words. “For me, I’d rather talk than fight. I’m just a businessman. Why resort to violence when a deal can solve the problem? Oh, of course, except when it comes to girls.”

"Alright, seeing how confused you look, I'll just tell you directly."

Mo Mo's expression turned serious. He said, "I was originally going to come find you too, but I planned to do it in a couple of days. After all, it's time for the Absolute Ability User Evolution Project to come to an end."

Accelerator's pupils constricted as he said, "So you really are after an Absolute Power User. Are you going to stop me from becoming one too?!"

Mo Mo nodded at his temple and said, "Stop messing around, Accelerator. Stop showing your true colors. Didn't you ever doubt the authenticity of this experiment? As the strongest in Academy City, don't you even have the confidence to face the truth?"

"The tens of thousands of sisters who died at your hands, aren't they enough to serve as the foundation for your questioning of all this?"

Accelerator's face turned ashen, as if he was about to retort, but after a long time, he remained silent.

"You want to stop this experiment, right? I can't beat you, and no one can stop your authority as a director. Since you want to end the Absolute Ability User Project, then so be it."

Mo Mo smiled slightly. Accelerator's words meant that this was all something Mo Mo had to do, not something he, Accelerator, had backed out of along the way. In the end, he was just trying to save face.

"Since your goal was to stop all of this, then you've achieved your objective. I've lost; I can't resist you. Ending this experiment is just a matter of a word now, isn't it?"

Accelerator remained expressionless, then turned his back to Mo Mo and walked away step by step. A faint voice could be heard saying, "If you don't want to kill me, then I'm leaving."

However, Momo's smiling words made Accelerator stop in his tracks once again.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Accelerator. Do you really think that you can atone for your sins and be forgiven in your current state?"

"I don't need your forgiveness, I am the evil of Academy City!"

Accelerator suddenly became agitated, turned around to face Mo Mo again, and said, "What exactly do you want? If you want to kill me, then do it now. If you don't want to kill me, then let me leave! If you haven't vented your anger yet, then I'll stand here and do whatever you want. Come at me head-on!"

Mo Mo blinked and said, "Face you head-on?"

"Yeah, anyway, I can't resist at all. Come on, what are you afraid of!"

Mo Mo blinked again, carefully looking at Accelerator's face, and said, "Um, if I may ask Accelerator, what is your gender?"

"Ha, even if I can't beat you, you can't humiliate me! Can't you tell my gender? Are you blind? Do I have to strip naked for you to confirm before you can tell?"

Mo Mo really wanted to say that he really couldn't tell. He should have attacked Accelerator's chest and abdomen earlier, which would have given him a better basis for judgment.

“Forget it,” Momo shrugged and said, “I still have them to comfort, so I’m not interested in you.”

"Don't worry, Accelerator. My anger has subsided quite a bit. As long as you do one more thing, I'll forgive you. However, if Mikoto and the Misaka Sisters want to take revenge on you, that's a different story."

Upon hearing this, Accelerator glared at Mo Mo with resentment. However, he seemed to have forgotten what he had just said about not needing anyone's forgiveness. As if confirming his own words, he said, "You are the original body's boyfriend, the brother recognized by those clones."

"What exactly do you want? Speak up! I don't want to say another word to you!"

Mo Mo nodded upon hearing this, then tossed a cherry towards Accelerator. Accelerator caught it with his last hand, frowned at the cherry in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"Could it be something poisonous? Poisons are of no use to me."

"Don't worry, this is a test for you."

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "I only had the Misaka Sisters copy the memories of the last second before the 9885 Misaka Sisters you killed died. It's a total of 9885 seconds. Once you eat this cherry, you will experience the pain of death for 9885 seconds, the pain that you caused yourself."

Accelerator's breathing nearly stopped. For a moment, he seemed to see the Misaka Sisters dying before his eyes, and he had to endure the same pain as those Misaka Sisters.

The suffering caused by his own actions?

"How could this be? If it's some kind of hallucinogenic drug, it makes absolutely no sense!"

Accelerator didn't believe the thing was real, because what Momo said was too incredible and beyond Accelerator's comprehension.

"Regarding the authenticity of this thing, you just need to trust me. Do you have the courage to eat it? This is your atonement. If you choose to bear this pain, I won't cause you any trouble because of your sister."

"I don't need your forgiveness. Whether this is true or false, I'm not afraid!"

After saying that, Accelerator threw the cherry into his mouth, bit it into pieces, and swallowed the pit whole.

Then, Accelerator froze, instinctively clutching his lower abdomen—the spot where the first Misaka Sister died. The first Misaka Sister had attacked Accelerator with a gun, but the bullet that was deflected hit her own abdomen.

Just as Momo had said, the feast of death began. Accelerator's pupils contracted to their limit, and his body hunched over. In just a few seconds, he was drenched in sweat and his face was as pale as a wax figure.

Every second, he will experience the pain he himself created, and then taste the flavor of death.

Seeing Accelerator eat the cherry without hesitation, Mo Mo's smile vanished, and he said, "So you ate it after all..."

If Accelerator doesn't eat him, Momo might not kill him, but he will still remove the first Level 5 from Academy City.

However, now that Accelerator has been devoured, as Momo said, the final judgment on Accelerator will be handed over to the Misaka Sisters and Mikoto.

They are the ones directly involved, and Mo Mo will not overstep her bounds on that point.

Having dealt with Accelerator's situation, Momo now has one last thing to do.

"You've been spying for so long, it's time to show up, isn't it, second person?"

Author's Note:

First update

163 is giving you a chance.

Mo Mo's voice carried far, but the surroundings remained quiet.

"Do you expect me to drag you out? Our relationship isn't that bad yet, is it?"

As she spoke, Mo Mo turned her head in one direction, and this time, there was finally some movement.

A patch of darkness emerged from the surrounding background, its color gradually fading, from black to white, and finally into three pairs of pure white wings. The person enveloped by the wings was none other than the second-ranked figure in Academy City, Takane Teitoku.

Huan Gendi no longer concealed himself, took a step and flew into the sky, then landed next to Mo Mo.

"I'm curious, how did you discover me? Was it because of your peculiar ability, Director?"

Mo Mo curled his lip and said, "Are you sure I'm the director you're dealing with? Aren't you afraid you've got the wrong person?"

Huan Gendi smiled slightly and said, "Although this is the first time I've actually met you, Director, I'm confident in my ability to judge people. Of course, if you don't want to acknowledge your identity, Director, then I'll pretend I don't know you."

"Anyway, for me, reasonable transactions are the most important thing."

Mo Mo watched Hagane Teitoku with great interest. Hagane Teitoku was probably the most pragmatic person in the entire Academy City. Compared to other Level 5s who were either crazy or brain-dead, Hagane Teitoku was trying to enter the power system of Academy City, which was the biggest difference between him and the other Level 5s.

Unfortunately, whatever Takatomo Kane's original intentions were, he forgot one thing: as a powerful Level 5, he already had to have a strong presence. If he really entered the power system of Academy City, for example, and became a director, how much pressure would he put on other directors as a Level 5 director?

For Aleister, the council members are merely management tools used to maintain order and rule in Academy City. Let alone a Level 5 like Takatoku Hagene, if a council member's ambition and strength exceed a certain limit, Aleister would probably make such a council member disappear without a trace.

This is also why Emperor Huangen was destined for tragedy, but unfortunately he himself did not realize this. Of course, this was also due to the limitations of his position and knowledge.

Momo had originally held a sliver of hope for Hagen Emperor, although he wouldn't invite Hagen Emperor to become a Heroic Spirit. However, Hagen Emperor's performance today disappointed Momo.

"Is that so? It seems you value transactions very much. You seem to have a lot in common with other merchants like me."

“However,” Mo Mo stared at Emperor Huangen and said, “according to our previous agreement, what you have done today has already violated the agreement.”

Seeing Mo Mo's expression, Emperor Huangen seemed to sense Mo Mo's dissatisfaction and smiled, "According to our previous agreement, I am responsible for protecting the safety of Director and those clones, and I will serve Director and complete some tasks to a limited extent."

"As compensation, the director provided me with a large sum of money, the opportunity to participate in the division of power in Academy City, and the chance to face Accelerator one day. I remember all of this clearly."

"Is that so?" Mo Mo remained noncommittal to Emperor Huangen's words, and said, "Since you still remember, can what you did today be called protection?"

Mo Mo turned his head to look at his house, which had become ruins, and said, "Let's not talk about the house for now. Mikoto has just been caught in a tough battle and could have been injured if she's not careful. Why don't you come out and fight with Accelerator?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you came here because Fengzi notified you. And Fengzi's notification to you was probably to come here to protect me, protect Mikoto, and protect our wealth."

Mo Mo turned to scrutinize Emperor Huangen and said, "However, what you're doing now is hiding and observing from beginning to end. Is that fulfilling the deal, second person?"

Emperor Huangen frowned slightly. The anger in Mo Mo's words was very obvious. He also knew that what he had done today was indeed excessive, so excessive that it could not be explained away with excuses.

From the very beginning, Daitoku Hagen arrived early. However, at that time, Misaka Mikoto and Accelerator were fighting. According to the agreement, he should have helped Misaka Mikoto no matter what. Even if he did not want to fight Accelerator, he should at least have protected Misaka Mikoto's retreat.
