That look.

That look carried a hint of disdain, but it was so disdainful that it couldn't even be bothered to look at him, as if it were a waste of time to look at him even a little bit.

Just seeing that look made his scalp tingle and his whole body feel like it was on fire, burning with rage.

"Don't look down on me, you damn brat—!!!"

The third-ranked member of Academy City is no match for the second-ranked Kakine Teitoku.

The man was aware of this information, but in his opinion, it was only because the third person never dared to go all out against the enemy and always naively showed mercy to them.

If he were to perfectly unleash the third-rank superpower and show no mercy, he could even penetrate the second-rank defense with a single blow.

According to Academy City's theory, Holism's abilities do not excessively enhance the strength of ability users. Even if the second person is already a Holism ability user, he could never become much stronger.

Seeing that he didn't dodge or evade, and didn't even bother to defend himself, I was absolutely certain that I could kill him.

He was dead.

The man revealed a cold, sinister smile and instantly flicked the hard object in his hand.

At the speed of three times the speed of sound.

Boom! ...

The moment it was launched, the hard object was burned to ashes by the overwhelming force, leaving only a powerful electromagnetic ray traveling in a straight line in the air.

Just one strike, and if that strike hits, that guy will fail!

boom! !

It was crushed.

Under the man's gaze, Kakine Teitoku, without even moving a finger, unleashed a powerful and murderous strike—

It was mercilessly crushed to pieces by some invisible force.

Before he could even be surprised, pure white streaks of light shot towards him in straight lines.

A super electromagnetic...cannon?!

"Oh no!!"

He swiftly dodged to the side, and countless pure white electromagnetic cannons blasted the ground where he stood with overwhelming force, engulfing everything around him.

Why? Does this mean that the unreal matter can even simulate attacks like the railgun?

"Are you kidding me... In that case, I'll use this one!"

The man's eyes trembled violently, and as his thoughts arose, the ability he chose immediately shifted.

Ultimately, it's only second place, that's right! As long as I use the vector manipulation capabilities of the first place to deal with it—

creak.

At this moment, a sound like collapse came from inside the body.

"How—how is this possible! Vector operations...can't be used?!"

I can't understand it. Every generation of Rencha should be able to use that guy's ability!

Or is there some unknown reason behind this?!

pat.

As the man grew increasingly anxious, the figure before him slowly approached.

A shadow fell over the other person's face.

I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could see six wings shimmering with platinum-gold light shining in this space.

as if.

Deathwing deliberately disguises himself as a peaceful angel, but is actually filled with murderous intent.

"Don't...don't look down on me...do you think this is the end of it?!"

The man roared loudly, and then another idea came to him.

That's right, since he can't use the first person's ability, and everyone else's abilities are useless against him—

Unreal Matter is the second strongest ability in Academy City, second only to the number one.

"Then I'll use your own strength to bloom into a flower—"

He roared menacingly and immediately chose Kakine Teitoku's Unborn Material Power.

The sound disappeared.

The second person didn't change their expression at all, just quietly watching the scene before them.

—Gazing at the man before her, she instantly transformed into particles of light, vanishing forever from the world in a single moment.

"He's really stupid enough to throw his life away...useless."

Level 5 Holistic Superpowers are simply powers that a normal human body cannot withstand.

Kakine Teitoku was able to reach this level because he had further developed the power of the Unreal Matter, which gave him a near-immortal physical body. Otherwise, he could never have reached this level with just an ordinary human body.

I imagine Accelerator is the same way. The power of an Absolute Level 6 is beyond the reach of ordinary humans. That guy never even had the chance to use the current number one power.

From the very beginning, this was nothing but a farce.

and so.

"Since you've already come here, why have you been hiding in the shadows the whole time?"

The coward who had tried to cause him trouble had completely disappeared, and Kakine Teitoku turned his gaze to his right.

A figure indeed emerged from the shadows.

White hair, red eyes.

"Hmph, what wind blew a powerful figure like you here? Savior of the world."

Accelerator, the strongest Devil Fruit user in Academy City.

He calmly emerged from the darkness, and Kakine Teitoku calmly began to mock him.

However, the first person didn't pay much attention to these things.

"I'm here to solve the problem."

"The problem? You're not talking about that small fry who didn't even need to lift a finger and just went to his death, are you?"

"Although it's related to him, you should know that I'm not concerned with some nobody."

The second person frowned slightly.

Besides the man who had just stolen Liancha's broken body, all that remained was...

"...Hey, you wouldn't happen to be—"

"That's it."

Accelerator placed his hand on the lever next to him and pulled it.

The huge culture tank was then opened.

What fell out from inside was the lifeless body of a young girl.

She simply closed her eyes, and looked exactly the same as she did the moment she died.

"I've already figured out what happened to that kid, and now it's your turn."

"So what? You'd better give me a good answer."

It's clear that even when facing Accelerator, Kakine Teitoku is now unable to treat him with kindness.

Because to some extent...

The reason why this girl in front of me ended up with such a tragic ending... is all because of Accelerator's fault.

"That guy just now seemed to be saying something about bringing this brat back to life."

"...That's unrealistic, you and I should both know that, right? Even if we've reached this point, wanting to truly resurrect someone on a spiritual level—"

"What would you do if I told you that such a thing could actually happen?"

what?

Kakine Teitoku froze on the spot for a moment, but the impact Accelerator had not yet ended.

The next moment, he pulled something out of his pocket.

Something that shone with a golden glow, filling the entire underground laboratory with a warm, golden light.

A golden apple.

"Let me tell you."

Accelerator spoke with the most serious attitude he had ever shown, enunciating each word clearly.

"I'll clean up this mess."

"I will not only save all those who have fallen into darkness and suffered tragedies from now on, but I will also bring back to life those who died in darkness before."

"No one can stop me. What nonsense about the dead not being able to be resurrected? What kind of world rules are those? If you try to block my way with that kind of stuff, I'll tear them all to shreds."

"I think you should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"

The words "the number one in Academy City" echoed in his ears for a long time.

Chapter 863 Anna Sprenger

To bring the dead back to life.

From a purely physical and scientific perspective, such a thing is not entirely impossible within Academy City.

Since Academy City has already used research materials such as DNA and proteins to create living organisms, and even clones have been created, theoretically speaking, it would be incredibly easy to bring a dead body back to life.

Of course, the resurrection that Kakine Teitoku spoke of was not such a simple matter.

If we consider the concept of the soul, it would be almost impossible to bring a deceased person back to the present world without any difference.

Neither science nor so-called magical power can achieve this effect.

"If we use this, we can accomplish this."

The pure golden apple that appeared in Accelerator's hand.

Perhaps Kakine Teitoku was unaware that this was actually a treasure given to him by a being called the King of Heroes in the world where Heroic Spirits and Masters existed.

In Greek mythology, there was a treasure that could ignite conflict among the gods.

Legend has it that anyone, whether god or human, whoever eats the golden apple will gain an immortal body.

But that's only for the living.

"I've heard that this thing can grant ordinary people an endless lifespan..."

"What's the use then?"

Even after hearing Accelerator's explanation, Kakine Teitoku's definition remains unchanged.

The prerequisite for immortality is that one must eat this thing while still alive.

"For someone who is already dead, eating this stuff would be a waste of their energy."

"That's definitely true."

However, the first-place finisher did not show any signs of losing motivation.

"Only living people will not die after eating it, yes, that's right... It is indeed a simple thing from a common sense point of view."

what?

Hearing him say this, even Kakine Teitoku was somewhat surprised.

"What... exactly do you mean?"

"Use your brain for a moment and think about it."

Accelerator looked at Kakine Teitoku and said these words.

"You are a holistic thinker; there are some things that only someone like you can do."

Holism…the Golden Apple…immortality…
