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

That's just like what Leizi did before, she directly hugged Yahweh.

"Thanks……"

Misaka Mikoto's voice sounded trembling.

"If those children..."

"...I really don't know what to do..."

For this cheerful girl to show such an attitude, it seems that the situation with her younger sisters has indeed put a lot of pressure on her.

"Well……"

Index, who had been pushed out of Yawei's arms, looked at the brown-haired girl who had taken her place and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks slightly.

"Big sister, although Kuroko understands how you feel..."

Kuroko, standing nearby, couldn't help but darken her expression upon seeing Misaka Mikoto's actions.

"...But this is not the behavior of a lady!"

After saying that, she pulled Misaka Mikoto out of Yawei's arms.

"Sorry, I got too excited..."

Misaka Mikoto, realizing what had happened, blushed slightly, though much better than Ruiko had before.

"All right……"

Shokuhou, who was standing to the side, also looked rather grim. She felt that she probably shouldn't have said so much to Misaka Mikoto.

"Now that you know the truth, you should leave quickly!"

She said this in a somewhat stiff tone.

What happens next is none of your business!

"How could it have nothing to do with me?"

However, upon hearing Shokuhou's words, Misaka Mikoto gently shook her head.

"After all... these children are ultimately because of..."

As she said this, she glanced at Miri, who was dressed as a maid, and then quickly looked away.

"So, is there anything I can do to help?"

Misaka Mikoto's face lit up with her signature, sun-like smile.

"Let's just say..."

"...Is this compensation for the mistakes I made in the past..."

"……All right,"

After thinking for a while, Misaki did not refuse in the end.

After all, she does need manpower right now.

As a Level 5 Misaka Mikoto, she is indeed a formidable force that cannot be ignored.

"Let's talk about all this tomorrow..."

"...If it weren't for you, we would have been ready to rest."

“Um… I’m sorry…”

Misaka Mikoto could only apologize somewhat awkwardly in response to Shokuhou's words.

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

The next day arrived quickly, and the group gathered early, waiting for Misaki's instructions.

After a night of thinking, her plan was now fully prepared.

Faced with this enemy, she was overwhelmingly inferior in both power and connections.

However, she also possesses advantages that the Kihara clan and those directors and high-ranking officials do not have.

That is the power she wields!

As the saying goes, violence can't solve problems, but it can get rid of the person who raises them.

With the strength of Nangong Nayue and her group, as long as certain forces outside the standard don't intervene, they could easily sweep through Academy City.

If things were within the normal rules, she definitely couldn't outmaneuver those old foxes.

Therefore, Shokuhou's choice was not to play along with them, but to use the power she controlled to overturn the chessboard!

"Since they attacked our research institute, let's return the favor..."

As she said this, Shokuhou took out a map of Academy City, marked with red circles.

"These places are now in your care..."

Shokuhou assigned the task of destroying the laboratory across the street to Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and Kuroneko.

In fact, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko are more than enough for this task.

However, through her intelligence network, Shokuhou vaguely learned that the Kihara clan, or perhaps some high-ranking members, had somehow developed a weapon that could counter superpowers.

The black cat's existence serves as an insurance measure.

Despite the fact that Black Cat's power level is only at the second tier, her versatility is unmatched by any other esper in Academy City.

Moreover, apart from Accelerator, who is of a certain caliber, the third tier of superpowered individuals is not actually considered very powerful.

Black Cat's power ranks third among Level 5 in Academy City.

Then, besides destroying the opponent's research institute, the most common use of violence is naturally to kill one's opponent physically, a task that Shokuhou entrusted to Kanzaki Kaori.

Since those killed were all people who deserved to die, Kanzaki had no objections.

Finally, even Shokuhou couldn't simply wipe out most of the high-ranking officials in Academy City.

She also needs to win the support of some high-ranking officials and even board members in order to secure her position as the "uncrowned queen" of Academy City.

But if they disagree...

Then Misaki Shokuhou can only try to reason with them.

Yes, as the "psychological controller," she will bring Lianhua along to personally reason with these people.

Finally, the most powerful of them all, Nangong Nayue, stayed behind to protect the research institute.

After making the arrangements, the group got to work.

Misaki Shokuhou's counterattack...

it has started!

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

In fact, Shokuhou's judgment was absolutely correct, and the plan went incredibly smoothly.

Misaka Mikoto and Kuroneko are both LV5 level fighters, and Shirai Kuroko is a LV4 space ability user.

It was nothing more than disrupting some of the Kihara clan's experiments; it couldn't be easier.

Midway Kihara's family also came up with a weapon targeting superpowered individuals—a special audio that can affect them.

However, thanks to the black cat, the situation turned out alright.

As a saint, Kanzaki was already a top-tier fighter in the magic faction.

Furthermore, with the blessing of Yahweh, he can rival his original "Stigmata" state in his normal state, making it incredibly easy for him to kill some powerless high-ranking officials and scientists.

Finally, there's herself and Lianhua...

Those higher-ups were indeed very reasonable and didn't waste too much of her energy.

It can be said that the situation was completely reversed in just a few days.

The Kihara clan's power was so suppressed by Shokuhou that they could barely raise their heads.

However, Kihara Gensei, the instigator of this incident, did not react at all.

It was as if he had given up resisting and completely surrendered.

However, Misaki knew this was impossible.

That guy is like a venomous snake, probably hiding in a dark corner, waiting for the chance to bare his fangs.

"Things are going more smoothly than I expected..."

Inside the research institute, Nangong Nayue sipped her red tea while explaining her judgment.

In the past few days, the Kihara clan has not sent anyone to attack the research institute again.

Therefore, Nangong Nayue lived a very leisurely life, as if she were on vacation in this world.

"...However, Shokuhou's rival has been unusually quiet these past few days. It feels like they're brewing some kind of conspiracy..."

Chapter 265: Tears' Invitation

"A conspiracy? Indeed..."

Like Nangong Nayue, Yawei took a sip of his red tea and agreed with her words.

"However, Shokuhou's true enemy..."

"...It may not be Kihara..."

"what have you found?"

Upon hearing Yahweh's words, Nangong Nayue frowned and asked, "..."

However, Yahweh merely chuckled and seemed to have no intention of replying.

As for Yahweh's behavior as a riddle-maker, Nangong Nayue was somewhat annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Speaking of it,"

Nangong Nayue did not dwell on the topic, but looked at Meili and Index beside Yawei with a somewhat inexplicable expression.

"Yawei, you really are..."
