—Squeak.

And so it is.

This building, which withstood a five-minute shock from the Earth's rotation without sustaining any damage, was shaken head-on today.

Chapter 184 Extraordinary Growth

Perhaps the residents of Academy City are completely unaware that this is happening.

A single blow was enough to shake the entire building, a structure that even nuclear weapons—or even the strongest superpower in Academy City combined with the planet Earth's rotational force—could not destroy.

This is no longer something that can be described simply by attack power.

The force released when particles accelerate to 80% of the speed of light is no longer something that can be described simply as destructive.

The smoke cleared.

The purplish-black particles gradually dissipated around him, and faint arcs of electricity flickered around his body.

Accelerator, on the other hand, remained standing perfectly intact.

What just happened wasn't solely the effect of his superpowers; it was the ultimate force achieved by continuously accelerating particles using the power of the "particle generator" itself.

The ability to manipulate the direction of all energy and the ability to manipulate all particles.

When these two forces are combined, and further enhanced by this extraordinary combat suit, the resulting power will be unparalleled.

Perhaps this goes far beyond the description of the term "ability user" itself.

The current Accelerator will be a being that is approaching the level that he once dreamed of.

Bang.

However, even after eliminating all the driven armor around them, new characters would still appear in front of them.

In an instant, Accelerator was once again surrounded by a dangerous aura.

Boom! A much larger figure suddenly appeared in the world before our eyes.

It's still a drive armor, but it's completely different from before.

The shadow of the powered armor was already over seven meters tall, its massive body gleaming with a silver-black sheen, and its thick armor was covered with weapons that resembled cannon muzzles.

Behind that enormous body, there seemed to be something that resembled a diffuser.

"...It looks like I've seen it somewhere before."

Accelerator narrowed his eyes, taking in the massive drive armor before him.

He remembered hearing something similar in the past.

Kihara Gensei's daughter, Theristina Kihara Leifrain, is someone who must have been involved in some kind of dark incident in the past, and is currently being held in a cage somewhere.

The incident was ultimately resolved by the third-ranked Railgun. It was at that time that Therista obtained the relevant parameters for the third-ranked Railgun and created a certain item specifically designed to weaken her abilities.

The current Drive Armor is exactly the same size as that description.

"So that's how it is. After obtaining the parameters of my ability, you plan to use this thing to weaken my output?"

Unlike the AIM jamming devices used by ordinary gangsters, which are only designed for weak ability users, this jammer, after being modified by Academy City's top technology, will have a dramatically improved effect.

It's likely that even the strongest ability user in Academy City could interfere with their abilities to some extent.

Accelerator could sense that the interference with its AIM dissemination stance, just like before, was increasing.

"No difference."

But he didn't show the slightest sign of trouble.

The white-haired monster's face bore only a pure, chillingly terrifying smile.

"Let's see how long you can keep me entertained."

In an instant, space shattered.

Right beneath Accelerator, some kind of device instantly activated.

"Phase Shift!"

This technique involves manipulating certain particles to perform reverse calculations, obtaining space-related data, and creating a reactor that connects to the outer layers of space and dimensional dimensions to enable spatial movement.

With just a flash of light, Accelerator's body instantly appeared in front of the powered armor.

He raised his left fist, concentrating all his power into it, and purple-white quantum flow fluctuations began to flash rapidly.

A powerful punch was launched from above.

Boom-! ! !

Even with the protection of thick armor, the powered armor was still sent flying by a single punch.

Accelerator's superpowers are now greatly restricted, yet he is still able to unleash such terrifying power. The key to this is that he doesn't rely on pure superpower output.

This combat suit gave him unprecedented offensive capabilities.

The gloves on his hands are the highest-level devices on his entire body, capable of maximizing the destructive power of all particles and enhancing them at the user's whim. The glove on his left hand can even transform the user's thoughts into tangible power.

This is the ultimate combat suit created after completely mastering all the data of its user.

A single punch was enough to breach the main entrance of the nuclear bunker; this was only the minimum destructive power. If it were multiplied, it would be impossible to know what level it could reach.

The moment he landed, the six generators behind him immediately turned around.

The powered armor in front of him locked onto his body and quickly aimed its cannon at him.

boom--! !

Countless laser beams burst forth, followed by powerful anti-aircraft missiles—a military-grade attack launched solely to eliminate him within this enclosed building.

The generator is not only a tool that provides energy for one side of the road, but also a weapon that can be used for direct attacks.

The front ends of the six generators rapidly fired purple-white energy bullets, which were released after combining various particles, and the firing was unrestricted.

The rate of fire is a thousand shots per second, and each shot has the power to blast an entire building apart.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, but Accelerator continued to move forward.

He merely touched the ground with his toes, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.

The sound was broken through and exploded a few seconds later. Accelerator's body completed the attack the instant it passed the massive body of the Drive Armor.

He leaped into the air, gathering his purplish-black power in the soles of his feet, and swept it out like a backflip kick.

"Sonic Jump!"

Attacked at at least twice the speed of sound, the particles were destructively struck at the feet, creating a rapid bombardment.

The combat boots, formed from a mixture of alien meteorites, contained unprecedented power and slammed head-on into the windshield of the drive armor.

"...Nobody?"

Even with the windows smashed, there was still no one inside operating the drive armor.

This was to be expected, since all the powered armor we've encountered so far has been of automatic combat capability, so it's not surprising.

But even so.

Despite its front end being kicked to pieces, the Drive Armor was still relentlessly attacking Accelerator with its massive mechanical arm.

Thump! The ground where he was standing was instantly dug up, while Accelerator himself dodged backward with a very light movement.

"Hey, stop messing around, do you just like fidgeting like that?"

The generator returned to his back after six days.

As you sweep your right hand across your left side, a strange energy fluctuation is generated inside the generator.

Bang——! !

The massive powered armor raised its mechanical arm and slammed it down at him in a punching motion.

zizi.

In that instant, everything came to a standstill.

Click, click, click, click—

The powered armor, which was over seven meters long, was suspended in mid-air as if by an invisible hand, completely unable to move.

It was as if time itself had stood still.

Accelerator smiled coldly, his entire body surrounded by some kind of abnormal energy field—almost like static electricity.

The monster casually glanced at the enormous creature before it and curled its lip in disdain.

"...Stasis Field".

Just like the name of its moves.

All particle activity within a two-kilometer radius that he had locked onto ceased.

Boom! Accelerator spread his arms wide, gathering all his energy at a single point on his chest and exploding it!

"Hahaha, hee hee ha ha—!!!"

at some point.

The strongest being, who was once like a monster, has once again reigned supreme here.

Boom—!!! The Drive Armor, which was already rotten beyond recognition and was blown away in one go by the move called "Stagnation Field", collapsed completely on the ground.

All the previously accumulated energy is concentrated together, and the burst stops selected particles within a two-kilometer radius, and then all the energy is completely released.

That is a power capable of instantly reducing a vast, continuous mountain range to nothing.

This has completely exceeded the limits that this drive armor can withstand.

but.

"Thanks to you, I finally managed to figure out how to use this thing."

Thud. The monster's footsteps continued.

Rising from the darkness, the white-haired monster, followed by six generators, revealed an extremely sharp smile.

"So I'm going to give you a reward... a special offer."

Click.

He clenched his fist.

A more dazzling stream of data flowed across his left fist, while his right fist shone with a pure radiance. The two powers, purple-white and purple-black, converged at a single point, and the six generators behind him fit together like a gauntlet.

What is it?

An unprecedented power erupted completely.

—Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Those were blows from fists and feet.

Accelerator slammed his fists and legs directly into the surface of the powered armor, piercing through it in an instant before it could even unleash a punch.

The first punch had already shattered the remaining parts of the drive armor into dust. The second punch burned the drive armor to ashes due to the aftershocks caused by breaking through the heat barrier. But before the burning could occur, the third punch arrived. Then, even before the particles themselves could react, the fourth, fifth, and thousandth punches came.

True Supersonic.

The reason why the name of the move itself cannot be pronounced is because its speed is genuinely so fast that it cannot be pronounced.

A barrage of physical attacks at speeds approaching the true speed of light.

In that instant, which is less than a hundredth of a second, Accelerator's six generators can calculate the most suitable martial arts stance for him. Even if he is not a martial arts master, the generators can still help him make the same movements and unleash the exact same power.

—Speeds exceeding the speed of sound, comparable to the speed of light.

This is true supersonic speed.

That was a move that was truly equivalent to a finishing move.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and in the final instant, it may really reach the speed of light.

In short, the punches, which were almost at the speed of light, were enough to completely obliterate the powered armor in front of him. However, in a state of near-absolute stillness, Accelerator managed to deliver countless punches and kicks to this tattered piece of scrap metal.

Thud—the final punch landed, and even space itself seemed to be delayed.

To date, whether it's the Lightning Spear technique used by Misaka Mikoto, the third-ranked NPC in Academy City, or the light bullets released by some of the fighter jets developed by Academy City itself, these attacks are all at the true speed of light.

To date, however, no one has been able to use a purely human body to launch an attack that approaches the speed of light.
