One-way traffic

then.

A dark pink attack halted everything.

Squeak——!!

A pink, fan-shaped slash, over ten meters long and sweeping across the field, instantly obliterated Cinderella's invisible magical attack.

"I've already said it, you're just trash."

He stood in front of Accelerator, fixing his cold gaze upon him.

Even through the helmet of the armor, one could feel the chill.

“A piece of trash like you who can’t even destroy the Earth isn’t qualified to be that guy’s opponent.”

Bang! !

Just before Cinderella was about to take her next step, something unexpected happened.

The young man who called himself an artist raised his hand, and a strange dark golden light flashed at the tip of his left hand.

An invisible telekinetic force grabbed Cinderella by the neck.

"Goo-ga-?"

"Get out of here."

In the blink of an eye, Cinderella's body flew backward like a missile.

Even as a shockwave spread outwards afterward, clearly a new magical attack from Cinderella, Yi merely wielded the pink blade in her hand, and with that, she instantly suppressed everything with overwhelming power.

The aftershocks of the force nearly tore the entire airport apart.

As he lay on the ground, Touma Kamijou saw that even the distant pillars had developed huge cracks as a result, and if this continued, it might even cause harm to innocent people in the distance.

"Hey! Stop! If this continues, people in the distance will get involved too!"

"…I see."

Yi gently rotated the blade in her hand.

"So you're worried about those good-for-nothings who don't care whether they live or die?"

"Eh?"

"Those guys are nothing more than ants, trash... Imagine you're fighting someone and you accidentally step on an ant in the grass. Would you feel sad or upset about it?"

In other words, from the perspective of art, the lives of those innocent people are merely as insignificant as ants.

Kamijou Touma's fists clenched instinctively.

"Hey…"

"If you want to rush up, that's fine with me, but I don't care whether someone like you lives or dies."

"You guy!!"

Without any hesitation, Touma Kamijou rushed out.

But in Yi's view, all of this seemed utterly ridiculous.

Kamijou Touma clenched his right fist, attempting to smash Imagine Breaker into the enemy's armor.

However, it had no effect.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Yi easily dodged the attack.

"Your technique is to 'observe the attack route by judging the start of the supernatural power and then dodge it'... which is called premonition perception, but it's not really a big skill."

"Varied--?"

"In other words, as long as I don't use superpowers, ordinary methods are enough."

The voice came from behind Touma Kamijou.

“Just like this.”

Then, the spiky-haired youth felt a bursting sensation from his abdominal area.

In the instant he came to his senses, he had already been sent flying like a stone skipping across water.

Boom! !

The wall in the distance was instantly smashed open by Touma Kamijou's body.

"Hey boss!"

"You—!!"

Leaving aside Hamazura Shiage, who was hiding in the distance, Misaka Mikoto, who was right in front of him, was completely enraged.

An electric current flashed, and if she so desired, she could unleash a maximum output of one billion volts of electricity that could surge through the enemy's entire body.

but.

Yi plunged the blade in his hand into the ground in one swift motion.

He activated the blade-like device at his waist.

"DarknessSquash!"

A dark pink apple-shaped energy body with a radius of about five meters appeared above his head.

Yi slightly raised her left hand, directing the force directly towards the ground.

The pure energy fluctuations instantly spread outwards in a circular pattern.

There is no point anymore.

The attack was so fast that it enveloped the entire area in an instant, and Misaka Mikoto was already in front of her the moment she came to her senses.

Even though the girl immediately used the iron sand under the floor to build a tiny protective shield, that level of defense was completely unable to withstand the power of this scale. It was as if the laws of science were completely ignored. The pink light, which transcended the laws of physics, instantly caused extreme damage to Misaka Mikoto's entire body.

With a single strike, the entire field was completely wiped out.

Whether it's Cinderella, who is an enemy, or Touma Kamijou and Misaka Mikoto, they have all been included in Geisha's list of targets.

No.

"The old woman in the pumpkin carriage..."

Despite being struck by an unknown force, Cinderella, lying in the distance, still whispered to herself.

"Give me the glass slipper, a distance of five hundred, with no limit on the number of people. Give me a solemn and cold trial of the glass slipper that will make all those full of lies bow their heads."

"This guy…"

Standing next to Accelerator, Budweiser, who was barely unaffected by the commotion, frowned slightly.

There's no limit to the number of people, and the distance is 500... Does that mean the opposing mages still intend to attack them?!

"Get out of there as fast as you can! That magician is using something from the Cinderella fairy tale. If you get too close like this, everyone within a certain range will suffer leg injuries!"

Just as Accelerator estimated, Cinderella's magic is likely a kind of conceptual attack that can ignore distance and directly affect human footsteps.

In that case, even his reflexes might be difficult to resist.

"Still alive?"

Ke Yi, however, didn't care about this at all.

He raised his right hand directly and infused some new power into the blade.

"But, unfortunately, I won't have the chance to continue playing like this with you."

"What's more, you're a piece of trash who can't even destroy a mere Earth."

click-

The next moment, he plunged the blade of his knife into the floor.

"Use the power of the artificial gold fruit to suppress it."

Click, click, click—!

A certain dark golden light, emanating from the artist's hands, spread like lines across the inner side of the floor.

In that instant, it was as if Cinderella's magic was completely devoured by this power, leaving only pure scratches.

No.

To be precise, it was Cinderella's magic that he suppressed.

"Although it cannot compare to the true power of the Golden Fruit possessed by the Man of Beginning, it cannot achieve omniscience or omnipotence."

"But for someone as insignificant as you, suppressing your power is not difficult at all."

Next.

Yi shifted her gaze to the other side of Cinderella, where an even larger area of ​​pink apple energy bodies appeared before her.

Dozens, hundreds, or even thousands.

The power of each energy body is equivalent to the destructive force of a tanker truck exploding in an instant.

This was even after he had suppressed all his power.

If Yi so desires, he could destroy the entire island of Hawaii in an instant with a single thought.

however.

—Before that, another figure rushed towards him in one breath.

boom! !

As if he had anticipated all of this, Yi raised the blade of his right hand backward, instantly blocking the enemy's attack.

The two retreated backwards towards each other.

Yi's body retreated about ten meters, while the figure that attacked him landed safely on the ground.

"…ha."

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Yi, with the blade of his right hand planted in the ground, leisurely revealed a smile.

"So, you still decided to make a move after all?"

Accelerator is the strongest and number one in Academy City.

After ensuring the safety of Touma Kamijou and the ordinary people in the distance, he began to confront the enemy in front of him head-on.

"...doing all sorts of tasteless things."

Looking at the unimaginable destruction around him, Accelerator stared coldly at his opponent.

"It's alright. I only came here to say hello. You don't actually think I care about the lives of those good-for-nothings around here, do you?"

"If that's the case, have you considered anything practical?"

"Oh?"

Yi tilted her head as if in doubt.

But the answer was like this.

"That's what will happen next: I'll tear you to shreds."

The next moment.

Accelerator, who charged at supersonic speed, delivered a punch with the power exceeding that of a nuclear weapon, directly into Yi's body.

Chapter 314 Manipulation and Suppression

The handover happened in an instant.

Boom! ! !

A tremendous explosion erupted from the enemy's front.

With a punch that could easily smash open even the main gate of a nuclear bunker, the black and pink figure was forced to stagger backward for more than ten meters.

One-way traffic landed smoothly.

If it were an ordinary enemy, taking this demonic blow would surely mean certain death.

But the current situation is quite different.
