Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

If Aleister establishes the laws of control over Aiwass and then uses that immense power to destroy all filters outside of Aiwass, only a world devoid of magic will remain.

If Misaka Sisters are merely a tool that would be troublesome to replace, then Aiwass is one of his "trump cards."

However, Aleister ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​taking action.

In fact, although the Demon God is powerful, it would be ridiculous for Aleister, who wants to wage a full-scale war against the Demon God, not to have any means to fight against it.

However, Yahweh is different!

Aleister's intuition told him that if he chose to take action, his only outcome would be death, with no other possibility!

In fact, Aleister's feelings were not wrong.

He was able to threaten the Demon God by relying on his "peak human strength" and the Demon God's flaws.

His "spiritual hindrance" would have no effect on a complete Old God like Yahweh. To Yahweh, Aleister was merely a slightly stronger "peak of man," posing no threat whatsoever.

P.S.: Since everyone wants to read more about A Certain Magical Index, I'll mainly be writing about it from now on. (To be honest, I really like Tearful Lord.) Also, regarding the A Certain Magical Index arc, I've always wanted to create a large-scale world quest that could affect the entire world, ideally even the Demon Gods, so that everyone could participate. But the protagonist's influence in this world is too great, so I can't pull it off… What are your thoughts? (Crowdfunding for this book, I'm really lacking inspiration.)

Chapter 240: Punishing the One-Man Army

An unexpected event suddenly broke into Aleister's chessboard.

Moreover, they are not just pieces he can manipulate at will, but players who can overturn the game at any time.

Even at just the first meeting, they lost a "trump card"...

It seems his plans need to be changed...

As he recalled what had just happened, countless thoughts surged through Aleister's mind.

........................

"Hey, hey, hey, where's today's experiment 'doll'?"

In a dark alley in District 7, a boy (?) with white hair and skin, red pupils, a slender body, and who looked like he was out of shape, crossed his arms and showed an impatient expression on his face.

"Are you going to make me waste my time here?"

He is the number one of the seven superpowers in Academy City, Accelerator with "Vector Manipulation," and is also the core of the "Level 5 Project."

"Misaka 9982 has completely lost contact, and the possibility of her being able to come and complete the experiment in time is extremely low."

Beside her, Misaka Mikoto, wearing goggles, spoke up.

"Should we replace Misaka with her for the experiment?"

"That's what Misaka asked."

This is what Misaka Sisters, codenamed 9983, said.

The Misaka Sister next to Yawei is codenamed 9982, which means that if the experimental subject is changed, she will be the one facing death in the next experiment.

Even so, her expression remained completely unchanged.

Upon hearing Misaka 9983's words, Accelerator frowned.

However, before he could even speak…

"First place,"

A thin researcher wearing a white lab coat and glasses emerged from a corner at some point.

Behind him followed heavily armed members of Aleister's secret service, a negligible force within the chairman's arsenal.

"The experiment has been suspended. From today onwards, you no longer need to come to participate in the experiment!"

As he said this, the researcher's expression showed a hint of resentment.

As the researcher of this experiment, he naturally did not want the experiment to be stopped so abruptly.

After all, this order came from the absolute ruler of this city, the chairman of Academy City—Aleister!

He wasn't foolish enough to disobey the chairman.

Upon hearing the researcher's words, Accelerator's face showed an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

The experiment has progressed to this point, and he has already killed more than 8,000 Misaka Sisters for it.

So now you're telling him that the experiment is just going to be stopped?

"That's right, the first one."

A clear, melodious voice belonging to a young girl suddenly rang out, and the Queen of Tokiwadai, with her waist-length blonde hair and beautiful starry eyes, stepped out from the shadows.

Behind her were Yawei and Misaka9982.

"From today onwards, I will be in charge of these children!"

As she spoke, looking at Accelerator and the Misaka Sisters, her feelings couldn't help but become somewhat complicated.

The best solution she had ever considered was simply to secretly move the Misaka Sisters.

However, she can now stand here openly and legitimately, suspending the "Absolute Ability Evolution Project".

And these...

It's all thanks to the deity behind her!

Thinking this, she glanced at Yahweh without making it obvious.

"You are... the fifth one?"

Looking at those signature starry eyes, Accelerator frowned and said coldly.

"Was the experiment's cancellation... your doing?"

"What...what do you want to do with these dolls?"

Accelerator is the strongest esper in Academy City, but he is only the "strongest," not "invincible."

"Strongest" is different from "invincible".

The outcome of a "defeated" contest is determined before the battle even begins, while the title of "strongest" can only be determined after the actual fight.

In other words, Accelerator's strength is only enough to inspire a desire to challenge him.

Therefore, in order not to harm others and with the goal of surpassing the "strongest" and becoming an "invincible" being, Accelerator participated in the "Absolute Power Evolution Project" experiment.

That's right, in order not to harm others, he participated in the "Level 4 Evolution Experiment," which required killing innocent Misaka Sisters. It sounds incredibly ironic.

Of course, in Accelerator's view, the sisters are just cheap dolls and cannot be considered "people".

However, deep down, he probably didn't really agree with this "Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan," did he?

However, he still found it hard to accept that the plan had been so inexplicably terminated by Misaki Shokuhou.

"These things have nothing to do with you, firstly."

Upon hearing Accelerator's words, Misaki Shokuhou's expression darkened slightly.

"Besides, these children aren't dolls!"

"It's just a cheap product that can be easily copied as long as you have the materials..."

However, Accelerator seemed to hear a funny joke when faced with Misaki Shokuhou's words.

"...Fifth person, you don't have some unrealistic ideas about these dolls, do you?"

To Accelerator, Misaka Sisters are just "dolls," and can only be "dolls"!

How can a group of people who have no feelings or will of their own, who are willing to die easily for the sake of experiments and have no fear of it, be considered "human"?

"The first one..."

You should know that Dolly is actually Misaka Zero.

Accelerator's words were tantamount to saying that Dolly was a cheap doll, which made Misaki Shokuhou furious.

However, before she could say anything, Yahweh pressed down on her shoulder.

"Self-deception is pointless; it will not diminish your sins in the slightest."

Looking at Accelerator, Yahweh said this.

"what are you saying?"

Looking at the bespectacled, gentle-looking young man, Accelerator felt as if he had been seen through, and a strange sense of panic rose within him.

However, his expression and tone remained unchanged.

"I'm an incorrigible villain, do you think I care about something like this?"

The so-called "evil party" cannot justify your actions or provide you with a way out.

"What on earth are you babbling about?!"

For some reason, Yahweh's words made him inexplicably irritable.

He subconsciously activated his "vector manipulation" ability, and the earth was shattered into pieces by his stomping, which looked extremely terrifying.

"These children are now basking in glory."

Yahweh did not respond, but said this in an extremely calm tone.

"Therefore, you need to be punished for the sins you have committed."

Yahweh's words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were a high and mighty god judging humanity.

P.S.: It seems that besides the author, some readers also like Ruiko. So, how about writing a few chapters about Ruiko? (Ruiko is really cute; in A Certain Magical Index, besides Misaka Mikoto, Ruiko is the author's favorite character.)

Chapter 241: The Sisters' Choice

"what?"

Accelerator was momentarily stunned by Yahweh's words.

However, he quickly revealed an arrogant expression.

"Punish me?"

"For those dolls?"

He said this with a sneer.
