"No, Misaka just didn't expect... that tonight would be over and she would still be alive and well."

"I've said it before, I will never let any of my sisters die again," Nangong said earnestly. "Do you want to live?"

“Misaka… I don’t know.” The brown-haired girl shook her head.

They don't really have a concept of "living." As long as the Misaka Network exists, the Sisters will not die; their lives will continue in another body.

Immortality in another sense.

Nangong sighed and said, "Can't you find the answer yet? I'm asking about Misaka 8912, the life that belongs only to this girl."

Am I human too?

This question spread like wildfire within the Misaka Network; once the thought arose, it was impossible to resist.

That's what "life" is all about. The driving force behind all behavior is the will to survive (to perpetuate oneself) and sexual desire (to reproduce) – stemming from selfish genes.

I, who have always longed to become stronger, am no different.

Nangong pondered: Due to their congenital genetic defects and the artificial deletion of their emotions, did the younger sisters lose the urge to continue living? Then…

"look into my eyes."

A red bird suddenly appeared in the black-haired youth's pupils, instantly projecting into Misaka 8912's eyes.

This time, the goal is to plant a seed in the brains of the 11089 surviving sisters, like an imprint of their thoughts.

Mental Out!

Even Misaki Shokuhou couldn't simultaneously give psychological suggestions to so many people, but the Misaka Network could easily do so. Since the essence of developing superpowers is to transform the human brain into a quantum computer, then… what about computer viruses?

Only the most powerful brains of a super hacker can accomplish this.

Meta-instruction MD: Extend life.

Let this command self-replicate and continuously invade the Misaka Network, just like a self-replicating life form!

"Live on!" Nangong commanded.

A scarlet bird seemed to pierce through the retina, invade the depths of the brain along the intricate neural network, and finally fly freely in the mind of every girl through the Misaka Network.

Then, it's only a matter of time before feelings develop.

At the same time, in the deepest part of a research lab, in a nutrient tank—also known as a "mass-produced life support device."

A young Misaka Mikoto floated in a golden nutrient solution, curled up like a fetus in its mother's womb, upside down.

Misaka Networks' command tower, No. 20001, was created to deal with such dangerous situations, codenamed "Last Order".

"Misaka Misaka has discovered the virus and has begun eradication efforts. If necessary, the infected Sisters will have their individual lives terminated to prevent the virus from spreading..."

"Misaka 8912 has defected."

“…Misaka never betrayed us; she was simply faithfully carrying out the orders authorized by her brother-in-law!” the girl, number 8912, argued in her mind.

She actually had the thought that she didn't want to be killed; it was clear her brain had been infected with a computer virus.

For the first time, I longed to truly "live".

Nangong thought to himself: This time I've really become a kidnapper, and I'm even brainwashing the hostage.

The final creation was a safety device built to prevent the sisters from rebelling and going out of control; it was a "time bomb" set by human researchers.

Nangong Xuan knew it all too well.

I will become their gatekeeper, free from anyone's control!

The computer virus created by the hacker then has to fight against the antivirus software. Among the tens of thousands of botnets on the Misaka Networks network—a term that refers to infected computers used in hacker attacks, also known as "zombie hosts"—the virus is created by the hacker.

This process will inevitably cause damage to the sisters' brains. Thinking about this, his heart sank.

"Misaka, stop. Thank you, 'older brother' who appeared like a hero."

A light, cheerful female voice suddenly echoed in Sisters' hearts, like a girl laughing. This unexpected turn of events caught Nangong off guard.

".../Enter".

It was as if the collective will of the sisters had pressed the Enter key, and even the safety warning of the final work was "/escaped".

Is her verbal tic, like a computer language, part of the Misaka Network's "overall consciousness"? An existence that transcends the command center.

Nangong's mind stirred.

I was a little too impulsive. Luckily, I won over my sisters.

"...Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Misaka Misaka, I hope everyone can get the love and affection of their big brother."

The final attempt had to be abandoned, and Geass was allowed to be added to the whitelist.

Because this is the shared wish of all the younger sisters.

The moment they contracted the virus, they didn't want to be disinfected.

Without the knowledge of human researchers, Misaka 20001 abandoned the firewall of the highest central control—even if they discovered it, it would be useless, as she had already become a puppet of Geass.

Nangong felt relieved upon reading the message that the "Last Work" alert had been lifted.

We should be more cautious about dealing with Misaka Networks in the future.

【Fantasy Master】is similar to the human brain network, so why not start exploring from there?

"Good evening, everyone."

Nangong Xuan entered the chat room—if Misaka Networks provided a text notification.

"Welcome, elder brother!"

"Misaka 9982 also wants to be taken in by her brother-in-law."

"No one is allowed to monopolize Gekota's panties! Misaka 10032 strongly protests!"

"Would losing a little more weight make my brother-in-law like me even more? Misaka 19090 came up with a winning strategy."

……

When Nangong Xuan tried to use [Psychological Control] to receive the Sisters' thoughts, it was as chaotic as a vegetable market. The simultaneous voices of over ten thousand emotionless girls were enough to make his brain explode.

"Go to sleep early, goodbye!"

When Nangong logged out of the Misaka Network, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could access his sisters' bodies... and chat groups at any time.

"……Good night."

In reality, Misaka 8912 also relaxed and fell asleep while hugging her two Gekota. One of them belonged to Moe's family, making a perfect pair.

"Sweet dreams."

Nangong didn't know.

That night, an individual who had once been connected to the Misaka Network and then disconnected also felt the call of the "single, immense will".

"Revenge... huh? I'll remember my elder brother's teachings well, Daze!" The fierce girl grinned.

The next day, early in the morning.

When Nangong Youyou woke up, he found a pink-haired little girl had somehow snuggled into his arms and was fast asleep. He had no choice but to cover Xiaomeng with a blanket, get up, and see that the closet door was open.

"Misaka?"

Could it have been cleaned up after all?

Nangong Xin sensed something was wrong and quickly ran to the entrance. There she saw the tea-haired girl holding the clothes she had just changed out of, sniffing them like a curious little animal.

"...It smells like my brother. Do, Misaka is very curious about this kind of sibling romance trope."

The way a girl with no emotional attachments says "Onii-chan" is incredibly endearing.

"So, she even secretly wore her brother-in-law's shorts..."

As she spoke, Misaka 9982 put on her boxer shorts, completing a two-piece outfit after Nangong's white shirt. Perhaps it was due to Misaka's "safety shorts gene" at work.

"It's enough!"

It was another chaotic morning.

Nangong Xuan once suspected that some rather abnormal individual might have instilled this kind of knowledge in them.

This time it really feels like I've caught a virus.

"Someone will pick you up after breakfast," Nangong instructed. "Don't worry, no one in the research institute will bully you."

The command tower is all under my control.

"Understood. Do," Misaka nodded obediently.

...Do you praise yourself?

"Ding-dong-"

A mature, sophisticated woman with short black hair and a white lab coat stood at the door, a hint of crimson flashing in her eyes. It was Kikyo Yoshikawa under the control of Geass.

Nangong Xuan clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, letting go of the researchers with a conscience, even though they still need to take care of more than 10,000 Misaka Sisters.

"Here you are, is this the milk delivery guy from this morning?" Xiaomeng opened the door and exclaimed, "Oh, Fangchuan, what brings you here?"

"Thank you for taking care of this child."

Kikyo Yoshikawa said she would take Misaka 9982 back with her and gently patted her head.
