First of all.

With his exhalation.

Countless purplish-black lines suddenly appeared around that pure white figure.

That was lightning.

The lightning was a deep purple-black color, and each current in it possessed a terrifying quality and mass that overwhelmed all matter in the world.

When Accelerator consciously relaxed, these electric currents appeared around him naturally, just like breathing.

That's the case.

In an instant, the entire room he was in vanished as if it had rotted away.

"...It really didn't work."

Bang! The first one immediately took control of the current, causing it to converge towards itself.

In this way, time, space, and dimensions within the room barely retain their safe nature.

Otherwise... the rampage caused by these currents within a minute would be enough to instantly generate a huge attraction.

That would create a situation as dangerous as a black hole swallowing the solar system.

Right now, what resides within Accelerator is such a dangerous and terrifying power.

The superpower to manipulate all directions of energy in the world... its level six version.

The moment Accelerator truly ascended to the so-called Level 6, a fundamental qualitative change occurred.

First of all.

These purplish-black currents, which leak outwards at any time, are the ultimate manifestation of the deterioration of its power.

"Is it not a substance that exists in this world, like that guy's undifferentiated matter?"

These currents—no, to be precise, they were just "something" that looked like currents.

The specific physical properties, chemical properties, and essence of the substance are all unknown.

They appear to flow like electricity through this world, but the mere presence of these strange substances is enough to create a crisis that could destroy the entire solar system.

Accelerator had no idea what had happened to the girl named Misaka Mikoto, who was once ranked third in Academy City.

She was subjected to an experiment by a mad researcher who caused the massive Misaka Network to go berserk, linking it together through the effects of the fifth-ranked ability. The result was that her abilities went berserk instantly, resulting in a situation that was forced out of control.

Absolute Ability User (Level 6).

That was the realm that Misaka Mikoto ultimately reached.

However, this is not an absolute ability in the true sense.

The third girl does not possess the aptitude to achieve such power. Therefore, if she is forced to approach the realm of comprehending the will of the gods, her personality will inevitably become distorted along the way, and she will even face self-destruction the moment she reaches that level.

At that time, Misaka Mikoto was indeed connected to something from another dimension.

That is probably the current that is currently affecting Accelerator.

only.

…Compared to Misaka Mikoto, who went completely berserk back then, the current number one in Academy City has easily mastered all their power with just her own will.

He can easily maintain his absolute power level (Level 6) in a stable state.

What would have taken over 250 years of conventional learning to reach was instantly elevated to this level by a mere fraction of the power contained in those wings.

This is nothing to be surprised about.

Long ago, the supercomputer of Academy City, the designer of the tree diagram, had already calculated this inevitable outcome.

Accelerator is the only talent in the entire Academy City who has been able to steadily evolve to this position.

To comprehend the divine will of God with a body that is not divine.

—But the realm that the first one reached was far more complex than that.

Beep—

He gently raised his finger, and a purplish-black spark appeared in his hand.

Accompanying his movements.

The electric current emanating from its body instantly spread throughout the room like branches.

The enclosed room instantly became like a pitch-black abyss, completely shrouded in darkness.

He could sense it.

A completely different feeling from Misaka Mikoto, who was forced to evolve.

If Accelerator so desires, then the other-dimensional world connected by these dark currents will instantly cover this world according to his will.

The third power in Academy City that is completely uncontrollable.

He, however, was able to easily control the source of these powers.

Even the dimensions and worlds inhabited by those powers are enough to completely cover what is before our eyes.

The more he understands these details, the richer and more diverse his knowledge becomes.

The dimension or world he controlled was not simply the universe.

It has a name.

Even without being taught by anyone, Accelerator already knew what that dimension was called.

"—Phase."

He spoke slowly.

In other words, if he so desires, he could directly manipulate the area called phase, which is connected to his abilities, and control it here without any problem.

Not only that.

After the qualitative change in his abilities, he can now control all directions of energy without relying on skin contact.

Just now, the reason why the extra individual lost the ability to speak was because he remotely manipulated the vectors related to "sound" throughout the other party's entire body.

Actually, this isn't a difficult task for Accelerator, who is at level five. He can easily control all of space by relying on the "Doomsday Destroyer" time generator mode.

But now, even without that kind of weaponry, he can do it just as well with pure ability.

This is not the limit.

Besides no longer being limited in the direction of manipulating energy, Accelerator was able to perceive the different realms of the world.

There isn't just one phase.

Besides the phase that is exclusive to the Level 6 Absolute Ability User (AVA) to whom one is connected, there are countless other phases existing in this world.

Some of these phases are at levels completely unrelated to the scientific field.

That's what they call magic.

"To listen to God's consciousness...?"

To comprehend the divine will of God with a body that is not divine.

At first, Accelerator didn't understand what that sentence meant.

But if we look at it now, from his perspective, having already reached—or even surpassed—this field.

"Let's give it a try first."

Then, the first one closed his eyes.

In the instant he closed his eyes, everything around him seemed to vanish completely.

Everything receded behind them.

And what one can feel.

There are only countless things covering the canvas called "the world".

Phase.

Each phase contains various life forms at different levels.

Such beings also exist within the phases of absolute power.

Although Accelerator's complete control over this phase forced these creatures into becoming part of his power, he could still sense something.

In other phases, there exist different laws belonging to other life forms.

These exist within.

Yes, they are holy angels from the sky.

Some are death demons from hell, tearing everything apart.

Some are gods who stand high above, in the midst of everything.

There are also gods who govern creation and destruction, gods who are dedicated to maintaining order, and even gods who created the world.

He can see everything.

Accelerator seems to be standing on an endless ocean, and beneath the surface, among these countless phases, all kinds of life forms exist.

And there was even a figure he knew very well.

A holy guardian angel, covered in platinum-gold light and exuding an aura of holiness.

Now, these beings exist beneath the sea, while Accelerator stands on the surface.

As long as he wants.

He could instantly comprehend the doctrines governed by these gods, angels, and demons—these beings.

It's like a vast treasure trove fully connected to what's called "the world".

Although not as terrifying as a demon god, its interconnected structure alone is enough to easily cover everything.

Whether it's Brahma, the god representing creation, Shiva, the god representing destruction, or various life forms from other phases.

The knowledge they possess will be known to themselves.

This is not a level that can be reached by those in the realm of absolute power users (Level 6).

Originally, the mere act of comprehending the will of God would at most allow humanity to glimpse the realm of God and gain a simple understanding of what the boundaries of God are.

But with this monster, everything changed.

Even all phases covered by the gods.

Before this white-haired, red-eyed monster, they were all like open books waiting to be read, completely exposed.

With a body that is not divine, one transcends the realm of gods.

In terms of sheer volume of knowledge, he is now even comparable to a demon god who has explored the entire realm of magic to its limits and is capable of manipulating the entire world.

However, if he wants to take all of this under his control, Accelerator still needs to digest and understand it all on his own.

But that's only a matter of time.

When Accelerator is in this state of mind, constantly learning from his perspective, everything in the outside world will slow down at an infinitely faster pace.

It's not as simple as the world revolving around him.

Rather, if the world wants to move forward, it must listen to his will.

If we look at it solely from the perspective of this world...

This level of absolute power user (Level 6)... is truly "invincible".

Although this is already far beyond the realm of a simple level six, it is an infinitely large realm.

"...Not enough."

Even if it were enough to completely grasp all the mysteries of the world.

Even for Accelerator, this is still not enough to match that guy.

That guy who looks just like me.

"Even a level six ability is just a bonus."

What he truly needed to master were those wings.
