Chapter 201 An Insurmountable Wall Separates Us

Kakine Teitoku sped through the sky.

He unleashed white wings from his back like light bullets, while simultaneously sprouting three new pairs of wings. He soared through the air at supersonic speeds, relentlessly attacking the figure before him.

but.

It was clearly the same attack; it should have been an attack that could have disrupted Accelerator's reflexes and then pierced through his body in one go.

Boom! A sharp, purplish-black mist appeared around Accelerator.

The fog enveloped his entire body like a shield, and he gently bent down, the six generators on his back trembling like wings.

boom! !

With rocket-like speed, Accelerator lifted off the ground.

Under Kakine Teitoku's watchful gaze, the number one in Academy City ignored all his attacks and charged straight at him in one breath.

Click!

He hurriedly covered himself with white wings, but was still blasted away by the attack.

"What?"

Kakine Teitoku couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but the reason wasn't just because he had been knocked away.

They are ability users, and when they activate their abilities, they should be accompanied by a related AIM diffusion field, a fact that Kakine Teitoku is well aware of.

But the attack Accelerator just now didn't seem like he was using his abilities normally.

Ultimately, whether he actually used superpowers that could change the direction of energy to attack himself is another matter entirely.

Before he could think, Kakine Teitoku looked up at the sky, where the purplish-black shadow had once again appeared directly above him.

Accelerator raised his hand, and the six generators behind him burst forth with intense white and purple light.

The PulseCannon uses fusion-induced particles for energy loading, releasing six shots whose power and speed far surpass the output of the third-ranked Railgun.

Six beams of light, fired in a straight line, struck Kakine Teitoku's body in an instant.

"What is this? I can't withstand it—?!"

Unlike previous attacks, Kakine Teitoku's white wings were completely destroyed, shattering the moment they hit the six light blasts.

His primordial matter is capable of creating a defense level that can withstand at least all attacks up to the level of a railgun. If his wings can be destroyed to this extent in an instant, it means that the power of the opponent's attack is enough to surpass the railgun by several levels.

Kakine Teitoku gritted his teeth, and new wings sprouted from his back.

"Don't get too cocky, you bastard!"

Boom—!!! He regained control of the gale and light burst to launch an attack.

Accelerator used his ability to defy gravity and fly through the air. He then used six generators to condense them in front of him and combine them into a physical turret.

Six beams of light, a fusion of plasma and various other dangerous particles, flashed and instantly clashed with the attack from the undifferentiated matter.

But after that, Kakine Teitoku's body reappeared.

"That's the end of it."

Accelerator has now converted the shield that previously covered his body into an energy source for output, so he no longer possesses proper defensive capabilities.

If I hit him directly, I can seriously injure him by using my ability to break through the limitations of reflection!

With this thought in mind, Kakine Teitoku arrived in front of Accelerator at supersonic speed without hesitation, and waved one of his white wings directly at him.

creak.

Then, under his direct gaze, the Accelerator before him transformed into tiny, imperceptible particles.

"Varied--?!"

Without giving Kakine Teitoku a chance to be shocked, Accelerator, transformed into some kind of particle, reassembled behind him.

"Don't rush, there are still many surprises for you!"

After saying those words, Kakine Teitoku sensed something ominous.

Behind him, there is some kind of substantial energy gathering.

Accelerator, in an upside-down position, connected his feet to the generator, and the purplish-black particles were transformed into highly pure energy, merging into a substantial burst of light.

"QuakeBuster—!"

Accelerator used an upside-down kick to knock the energy ball generated by the generator face down.

Hit by this merciless attack, Kakine Teitoku fell to the ground like a meteorite.

Click click click click click —

The purplish-white energy sphere exploded with pure energy, unleashing terrifying power. In an instant, the entire street was shaken by the massive energy flow, and two aftershock-like purplish-white shocks scattered to the left and right, finally stopping ten kilometers away.

A figure stood in the very center of the ground.

"Pfft—whoa?!"

Kakine Teitoku was panting heavily, and a small amount of blood spurted from the corner of his mouth.

That attack just now completely exceeded his imagination, and theoretically, it shouldn't be a move that could be unleashed with superpowers.

"And that dodge just now... You couldn't possibly make your body disappear like that... What on earth happened?!"

Even if Kakine Teitoku shouted in exasperation, Accelerator could not give him the actual answer.

The "Particle Generator" mode of the "Doomsday Destroyer" is a powerful weapon capable of manipulating all particles in the world.

With this ability, Accelerator can create almost any energy source he wants, and of course, he can also directly manipulate the particles in his own body.

True quantization.

Transforming his entire physical body into tiny particles of the quantum realm—things even fainter and harder to detect than nanometers—that move along with space itself, was the method he used to evade Kakine Teitoku's attack.

To outsiders, it might just appear as a simple teleportation or movement with afterimages, but in that instant, Accelerator could indeed quantumize his entire body to evade enemy attacks.

For Kakine Teitoku, this was the end.

"You should probably come to a realization about this."

Accelerator looked at the person in front of him with an air of nonchalance, showing no sign of panic.

There's a reason why you and I are ranked first and second.

"...!"

"That means, in essence, the gap between you and me is absolute. There is a wall between our realms that you can never cross, which is why you are second and I am first."

"Don't get too cocky...you bastard!!"

Bang——! ! !

Kakine Teitoku's wings burst forth, and his three pairs of outstretched wings, like blades, instantly surpassed twenty meters in length and directly attacked Accelerator.

But he didn't even try to dodge, nor did he intend to activate his True Quantumization ability.

bang——

A very unique sound effect rang out.

Kakine Teitoku's eyes widened in surprise; at that moment, he fully understood what the sound effect meant.

"reflection…?"

That's right, that's the sound that only occurs when the reflex is activated.

Without relying on any external force, Accelerator used his superpowers to return the white wings made of unknown matter to their original path.

"How is this possible! If it were just a simple defensive shield, that would be one thing, but how can you reflect my attacks?"

"Idiot, do you think I'd make the same mistake twice?"

The strongest in Academy City couldn't help but sneer at his opponent.

"Indeed, your primordial matter can bypass my whitelist and blacklist to attack my main body. Although it's a trick, it is indeed one of the few ways to break through reflection... But so what?"

"What do you mean, 'So what?' My Primordial Matter is completely unaffected by the laws of this world! It's a substance that possesses laws that don't belong to this world!"

"Yes, so why not just do it this way?"

In that instant, Kakine Teitoku felt a chill run down his spine.

"You—you don't mean to say?!"

"Nothing in the world is without direction, so as long as your attack still carries energy direction, I can definitely control it."

In other words, while Kakine Teitoku was analyzing Accelerator, he was also analyzing Kakine Teitoku.

Even without using the power of his combat suit and generator, it wouldn't be too difficult for Accelerator to deal with Kakine Teitoku using only his abilities.

He could reverse-engineer all those exaggerated data and input them into the new laws. Then, just like how learning a formula can solve all related problems, no matter how Kakine Teitoku changed his method later, he had already completely mastered the laws of the ability called 'Unreal Matter'.

"Your ability allows you to manipulate my primordial matter? Are you kidding me!"

"You little punk, you don't actually think I'm incapable of doing something this stupid, do you?"

As if mocking, he raised a hand and laughed contemptuously.

"That's why I'm on top of you."

The outcome was already decided the moment the words were spoken.

Kakine Teitoku's wings were torn apart by his own wings.

Accelerator had no intention of giving him a chance to continue. While manipulating his abilities to reflect, he also directly controlled the six generators in front of his right hand.

The palm made a grasping motion as if grasping something.

Under his gaze, the six generators began to spin rapidly, and at the same moment, purple-white energy currents flashed.

The energy of the generator itself is superheated and accumulated, and then condensed together to form a plasma fusion array, thereby increasing the upper limit of the power it can contain.

"You better hold your nose and get back to where you started—!!"

Conquaeror.

Just as the name of the move suggests, twelve medium-sized energy projectiles exploded in front of Accelerator.

The light bullet exploded like a homing missile the moment it was launched, heading directly towards Kakine Teitoku's body.

The resounding light and explosions spread out in an instant, but Accelerator had long since stopped paying attention to any of it.

He sighed casually, turned around, and let the explosions and screams come from behind him.

The first and second place in Academy City.

The question of who won and who lost between the two is completely obvious.

————————————————————————————————————

Accelerator's Conquaeror is an attack where every luminous projectile exceeds the upper limit of the Unreal Matter Defense.

Even with his new wings spread out for defense, Kakine Teitoku could not withstand the impact. The power of the explosion and energy mercilessly tore apart his new wings, and the twelve bombardments completely destroyed the streets and ground around him.

He himself collapsed in a pool of blood.

Despite all this, he still didn't die.

"An interesting fellow."

Accelerator stood still, indifferently watching Kakine Teitoku lying motionless on the ground.

"Did they discover a new use for their abilities in a moment of crisis, repairing injured body parts with unidentified matter? It's practically like a prosthetic limb."

"..."

He had fully grasped the disparity in strength between the two sides.

This is not a problem that can be solved by effort or by taking a hostage. Kakine Teitoku now fully understands that even if he had successfully taken Last Order hostage back then, he probably would not have been able to defeat Academy City's number one esper.

This is now a fundamental issue.

Even if he managed to stop the bleeding by using the primordial substance to quickly wrap the wound, he still couldn't return to his peak condition. Not to mention, the person in front of him hadn't even lost a single hair.

That's the kind of intensity that's truly not allowed to be challenged.

This is the true strongest.

"So, do you have any last words?"
