A peculiar building, without any signage and constructed entirely of gray metal, stands quietly among the buildings.
It had no door or window, resembling a metal coffin isolated from the world.
Here,
It is the absolute core of Academy City, the location of Chairman Aleister Crowley—"the building without windows".
The building itself is a massive defensive fortification, completely isolated from the outside world both physically and digitally.
Any unauthorized intrusion will trigger the highest level of security system, whose defenses are strong enough to withstand a direct nuclear attack.
however,
In front of Su Hui, all of this was meaningless.
Next second,
His figure appeared out of nowhere right in front of the building.
He raised his head and examined the enormous metal construct. His mental energy penetrated through the layers of barriers without any hindrance, revealing its internal structure.
"Spatial distortion, information blocking, plus some magical defensive spells... it's a pretty good turtle shell."
"Unfortunately, it's useless to me."
Su Hui gave a soft comment, then lifted his foot and took a step forward.
His figure didn't crash into the hard wall, but rather, like a pebble thrown into water, it created an invisible ripple before merging directly into the metal exterior and disappearing from sight.
Power and control over the domain.
Faced with his immortal domain, this defense, built upon conventional physical and magical rules, was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper.
The core floor inside the building.
This is not a cold, metallic space, but a huge container filled with green culture medium.
Countless thick pipes and sophisticated instruments connect to the center, maintaining the operation of the entire system.
In the very center of the container, a person with floor-length silver hair, crimson eyes, and indistinguishable gender hangs upside down.
His body was incredibly thin, his skin was so pale it was almost transparent, and his body was covered with various life support tubes.
He is Aleister Crowley, the ruler of Academy City.
The moment Su Hui appeared in this space, an ethereal, neutral voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion, echoed throughout the entire space.
"It is not gentlemanly to break into someone's room without prior notice."
Aleister suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Su Hui, who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
The voice has not fallen,
In the surrounding culture medium, countless tiny detectors lit up with red light.
Hidden doors slid open on the walls, ceiling, and floor, revealing dark cannon muzzles and various strangely shaped weapon systems behind them.
More than 10,000 attack units locked onto Su Hui from all directions.
Each weapon contains terrifying energy enough to easily annihilate a Level 5 superhuman.
Su Hui ignored all of this, looking around with a playful smile on his face.
"I have no interest in talking to people who are in cans."
He ignored all the weapons locking onto him and strolled leisurely towards the life support unit in the center.
"Aleister Crowley, whose real name was Edward Alexander Crowley, was born in 1875. He was the greatest wizard of the 20th century, a traitor to the Golden Dawn, the founder of the Silver Star, and the author of the Book of Laws... Your life was filled with betrayal, conspiracy, and madness."
With each word Su Hui spoke, Aleister, hanging upside down in the culture medium, narrowed his deep red eyes, which were as still as a deep well.
"In order to avenge yourself against the God of Magic, or rather, to completely destroy the magical side, you went so far as to transform yourself into this androgynous, lifeless form, lying dormant for a century, and single-handedly creating this fortress of science. You used the AIM diffusion field to try to construct an 'artificial celestial realm' without phases, purely composed of science, in order to pollute and cover up the mystery of the entire world. Your 'plan' is so grand it's nauseating."
When Su Hui uttered the words "artificial heaven," Aleister's pupils had already shrunk to the size of pinpoints.
Horrifying!
An unprecedented and horrifying event!
These are the secrets he kept hidden deep in his heart, the core of his century-long plan!
Who exactly is this man in front of me?
How could he know so much?
"you……"
"Shut up!"
Aleister was about to speak when Su Hui interrupted him with a cold shout.
"Since you enjoy scheming from inside a can so much, let me see just how hard your turtle shell really is!"
A resolute glint flashed in Aleister's eyes, and he no longer hesitated.
"—Elimination."
The cold, impersonal command was issued.
In an instant, tens of thousands of weapon units opened fire simultaneously!
An energy cannon incorporating AIM diffusion field theory, infrasound weapons capable of distorting space, directional shockwaves simulating magical spells... all sorts of unbelievable attacks converged from all directions into an energy torrent powerful enough to destroy a city, sweeping towards Su Hui!
This is the culmination of Academy City's highest technology, and Aleister's ultimate trump card prepared to deal with an enemy of the "God of Magic" level!
But it was all in vain.
This torrent of energy dissipated without a doubt when it reached within three meters of Su Hui.
The constant, immortal domain surrounding Su Hui formed an invisible, absolute barrier.
All attacks, whether technological or magical, are forcibly stripped, distorted, and annihilated the underlying laws governing the field the moment they come into contact with it.
That energy, enough to evaporate everything, is like starlight thrown into a black hole, silently turning into nothingness.
"too weak."
Su Hui shook his head, a hint of disappointment on his face.
"Whether it's your technology or your magic, it's ultimately just a superficial application of the laws of the world. Prying, simulating, extending... you're like a bunch of thieves who have someone else's key but don't even understand how the lock works. I, on the other hand, am the one who sets the rules."
He had originally hoped that this ancient monster, who had lived for centuries, could bring him some surprises and allow him to stretch his limbs a little.
The result was still the same—uninspiring.
As they were speaking,
Su Hui had already walked up to the life support device.
He stretched out his right hand, that seemingly ordinary palm, ignoring the device's superalloy shell capable of withstanding strategic weapon attacks and multiple energy barriers, as if passing through a phantom, easily reaching into the green culture medium and pressing it onto Aleister's smooth forehead.
A cold touch came from his forehead, and Aleister shuddered violently.
All his calculations and all his trump cards became a joke in front of his opponent.
The opponent's power was completely beyond his comprehension.
This is not a matter of strength or weakness, but an absolute crushing of life levels!
"This is impossible! You monster...where...did you come from?"
In his final moments, as his consciousness was about to be eroded, Aleister mustered all his strength to ask one last question.
He was horrified, realizing that the other person did not belong to this world.
Su Hui was too lazy to answer him.
With a thought, a "Seed of Loyalty" embodying his immortal laws instantly pierced Aleister's brow.
hum-
Invisible ripples of thought spread.
The great mage, who had been planning this for a century, suddenly trembled violently. Countless chaotic data streams and magical runes flashed in his crimson eyes, his powerful will waging a final struggle against the power of the Seed of Loyalty.
However, his powerful will, honed over a century, was utterly crushed and rewritten in the face of this systemic power originating from a high-ranking being whose status far exceeded imagination.
All the conspiracies, all the schemes, all the hatred vanished in this moment.
Instead, there was absolute, fanatical loyalty.
A few seconds later, the trembling stopped.
Aleister's upside-down figure slowly adjusted its posture in the culture medium, becoming upright.
His crimson eyes, looking at Su Hui, held the same fervent worship and humble submission as Kanzaki Kaori.
He paid the highest tribute to Su Hui across the barrier of the container.
"Aleister, greetings to my lord."
Su Hui nodded in satisfaction and withdrew his hand, then directly instilled the relevant information about the main world, derivative worlds, and dimensional wars into Aleister's mind through the mental link.
"From this moment on, your plan is terminated. All the resources and talents of Academy City will serve me. Your mission is to assist me in completely taking control of this world in the shortest possible time."
"Furthermore, we will immediately begin adjusting the underlying techniques of the 'Artificial Celestial Realm' to prepare for future connection with the main world, and integrate all the dark forces to build up strength for the upcoming war."
“Yes, my lord. All that is in Aleister’s possessions will be given to you.”
Aleister's voice was filled with unwavering fervor.
"very good."
Su Hui nodded in satisfaction. "Now, bring out all the top-secret data of Academy City for me to see."
"Yes, my lord."
A series of complex data streams flashed through Aleister's eyes.
Next second,
Countless virtual screens unfolded in front of Su Hui, displaying all the confidential files since the establishment of Academy City.
From the composition of the Dark Side to the secret projects of various research institutes, and the detailed data of each superhuman, everything was presented to Su Hui without reservation.
Su Hui's mental strength was incredibly powerful; he could multitask and browse through this massive amount of information at a speed surpassing that of a supercomputer.
He saw the truth about the "Void Explosion" incident, an accident caused by a mysterious device called "Hanging Loop".
He saw the organizations known as the "Dark Side" beneath the shadows of Academy City—GROUP, SCHOOL, ITEM, MEMBER, BLOCK… These violent institutions, composed of problem students and outlaws, were Aleister's black glove for maintaining the city's "order."
He also saw detailed information on all Level 5 superpowered individuals, from Accelerator, ranked first, to Sliding Gunba, ranked seventh.
Ultimately, his gaze settled on one of the plans marked as top secret.
The Level 6 Shift Project: Evolution of Absolute Power Users
For Su Hui, who was familiar with the plot, the contents of the plan were naturally clear. He opened the file and found the contents as expected.
"By setting up 20,000 battle modes, the strongest esper in Academy City, ranked number one, 'Accelerator,' will slaughter 20,000 individuals with the same combat abilities and thought patterns as him. This will correct his calculation model, allowing him to break through the Level 5 barrier and evolve into an unprecedented Level 6, namely 'Absolute Ability User.'"
The 20,000 "individuals" used to be slaughtered were clones created based on the DNA profile of Misaka Mikoto, the third-ranked "Railgun" in Academy City—the "Misaka Sisters".
"What an inefficient and stupid approach."
Su Hui looked at the plan and a hint of undisguised sarcasm appeared on his face.
To conduct experiments in such a brutal, bloody, and wasteful manner for the sake of a vague "Level 6".
Those are all young and lovely girls, how could they be treated so cruelly?
If he were given 20,000 clones with Level 2 to Level 3 electric shock abilities, and brought them to the main world, that would be enough to form a ready-made super-powered army.
Although the influence and changes between the rules of the main world and the superpowers of the derivative world are still unknown.
But such a huge quantity, and the readily available cloning technology, was enough to tempt Su Hui.
Not to mention these girls, each one of them is innocent, lovely, and adorable.
Here, their value is merely that of being consumed and slaughtered.
"Aleister".
Su Hui's voice rang out.
"Yes, my lord."
"Stop this plan immediately."
