Temperature Control in Academy City

Unless you have the ability to sweep all the phases attached to the physical universe into the garbage dump, you can only calculate all the variables generated by these phases in real time, and then honestly perform reverse calculations to restore the original appearance of the universe in your mind.

Natsume has no idea about the amount of power required for the former, and even if someone used all the matter in the universe to deduce the latter, the universe would still die before they could figure it out.

Fortunately, all this is meaningless to Natsume, and she doesn't want to spend energy on being a real-world explorer. It's just that these things happened to be in front of her, so she had to think about them.

The fighting had been going on for a long time.

The surrounding area was already in a mess, with debris from the poor building everywhere. Someone's rice cooker was lying alone in a three or four meter deep crack in the ground.

The only lucky thing was that their battlefield was a hundred meters away from the safe house building, and Accelerator was trying his best to prevent Last Order from being affected by the aftermath, and to protect his sisters in the building.

Explosions, destruction, death, pain, wailing...

Everything that happened around her still touched Natsume's nerves, keeping her mind in a tense state.

The original body's eyes were already red when it opened, and visible blue veins covered its temples and brows. Even though it relieved a lot of pain and pressure by diverting its thoughts, it had no aesthetic value at all, and it just kept squeezing Natsume's health.

The heavy psychological pressure made the guy with the ball head dare not waste any time. Even the injury on his arm and the pressure from Kihara Gensei became insignificant.

It seemed too hasty to explore oneself immediately after the fusion of souls, but in the end, everything seemed to be a natural result.

Miss Lingzi, who was accompanying the tool man, took a luxurious deep breath. At this time, her perception had already stayed on the two most familiar phases.

The other phases still exist, but the girl has now learned to 'close her eyes' and not look at them.

The action of closing the eyelids is so subtle, but it is a genius design to protect the eyes and brain, and now Natsume's brain is also protected.

This reminded her of the cosmic elevator that was still under review. At that time, she also used the power left over from her previous life to perceive the microscopic level.

At that time, not only did she know nothing about the microscopic level, she was even unable to protect her own brain.

But now, in these two phases that made Natsume feel extremely familiar, he actually discovered some of the truths that he had been seeking.

The truth of some things may seem extremely mysterious and lofty to bystanders, but once you are in it, you will find that it is extremely simple.

At this point, simply observing the phases at the outermost layer is no longer enough for Natsume.

As Natsume looked at one of them, the familiar feeling it gave off made her feel the need to observe it carefully.

But contrary to Natsume Sonoko's expectations, her new perception entered the selected phase after active contact.

It seemed that she could observe the phase itself if she wanted to.

"The reason I saw populations of phases superimposed on the physical universe, rather than the phases themselves, was simply because I never thought of observing them."

"From the beginning to the end, my cognition has limited my thinking. What I have always observed is the physical universe where my sight and body are. And He Himself is this appearance interfered by countless phase filters."

"So, the essence of the fusion of souls is that I can observe what I want to see. Does this special ability come from that miko?"

Natsume's thoughts were in a tizzy, and he was caught in waves of intense confusion and surprise.

In just a moment, her perception almost completely entered that phase.

Phases cannot be perceived by humans. After being a human for so many years, Natsume-san is observing this special existence for the first time.

Just the moment he sensed that phase, Natsume felt the real existence of space.

There is no concept of space between phases, but in fact there are traces of space inside it.

Also because of the dependent relationship, the size should be equivalent to the physical universe itself, then almost all phases should have no difference in size, except for some artificial phases that have not yet unfolded and more special ones.

(I haven't done any detailed research, so this is my personal understanding. However, even if the unnatural phase of Aleister's artificial heaven is expanded, it will only be as big as the earth. Maybe after a period of development, the superpower will become a natural phase?)

By the way, it is naturally impossible for Natsume-san to observe the entire universe and phases.

Therefore, the part of the phase space observed now is roughly on the same space-time coordinate axis of the universe as it is.

Natsume used his visual circle to define the specific range of his new perception, which was similar to a fan-shaped area that was neither too big nor too small. He didn't want to allow it to extend indefinitely to unknown corners, as this would be too dangerous.

Basically, as long as she wants, the new perception will continue to extend, and even eventually contain the entire physical universe and the phases above. However, before that, Natsume-san would probably have died of brain atrophy.

Likewise, without increasing the consumption, she can also move her perception, that is, constantly change the circled position to achieve a similar moving effect.

It is equivalent to creating an indicator arrow on the computer screen and then moving it continuously with the mouse, rather than directly filling the screen with the arrow.

"This is the world of phases. The sense of familiarity disappeared after entering, and was replaced by a vague sense of rejection. But it's not that it's rejecting me, but I'm rejecting it."

"In other words, I hate this place. No, it should be my past life that hated this place."

There was a strange feeling. Natsume knew that this was the change brought about by the fusion of souls. She inherited some of the feelings of the shrine maiden.

Looking around, this phase was completely dark. At least Natsume didn't sense any light here.

Natsume naively thought that the shrine maiden was actually afraid of the dark, if she could also observe the phases.

Fortunately, there is the concept of land here, which makes it easier for Natsume to accept it.

The place where he was seemed to be a mountain, and there were even some steps not far away.

But the next second, Natsume's heart began beating violently, and her vision in reality and her perception in the phase merged with each other in an instant. She could actually observe the physical universe again in the phase.

Originally, she observed the phase from the perspective of the physical universe, but within the phase, she can also observe the physical universe and even other phases from the perspective of the phase.

When Natsume Sonoko observed the universe through phases, it was as if she was equipped with the most sophisticated observation instruments and various interference removal devices, allowing her to observe the appearance of the physical universe in every detail and with incredible clarity.

It seems that the physical universe of the Magical Index world has long been penetrated to the extreme by phases and has completely turned into the shape of phases.

Natsume was previously unable to see through the phase from the perspective of the physical universe, but the phase stripped the physical universe cleanly, and when observing other phases, it was still just the most basic shell.

If her computing power is sufficient to allow her to perceive the entire Academy City from here, then it would basically be like having a God's perspective.

Once she uses her perception to observe the microscopic level of the physical universe, it is equivalent to turning on a tunnel scanning microscope all the time.

At this time, Natsume has completely understood why he entered the microscopic level.

The wooden bow forged by the witch briefly stimulated the essence of her soul, putting her into a similar state.

However, Natsume became curious again. She had never tried it before. What would happen if she observed the physical universe directly from the perspective of the physical universe?

Chapter 368 Surgery

This thought only stayed in Natsume's mind for a moment before she threw it aside.

She immediately realized that if she returned to the real world, it was impossible to observe the physical universe alone. Doing so was actually observing those phases as well.

Even if you close all the 'eyes' used to observe phases, leaving only the physical universe, the result you get is still the world modified by the phase filter.

The only difference is that when you close your eyes you save your mental energy and selectively ignore a lot of information. In fact, nothing has changed and the phase still exists.

If you want to observe the physical universe normally, you will eventually need to open these closed eyes. I have already understood this.

It seems that if you want to observe the physical universe, it is much easier to look at it from the phase than from reality.

After all, the physical universe in the phase angle does not need to observe other phases, and the consumption of computing power is greatly reduced.

What is observed is only the phase's interpretation of the physical universe, like a reflection floating on the water. All information is derived based on this phase.

However, this phase seems to be somewhat special, as if it has been artificially modified, and the interpretation of the universe is almost completely consistent with Natsume's own understanding.

In other words, the various laws here are very close to reality, and the interpretation of the physical world is also in an extremely similar state, except that there is no light.

Or maybe light, an electromagnetic wave, is actually another form of expression here, which is not recognized by Natsume Sonoko.

After all, the physical laws of reality can be subverted in the phase.

Natsume now has a very mysterious perception. He can observe the existence of light and even shadows, and can also "see" the smell and color of flowers, and then the brain analyzes and understands it, but the new perception is not real eyes and nose.

Anything beyond Natsume's knowledge will definitely not be known to her, just like humans cannot see dark matter because you simply do not have the cognitive ability to do so.

At this time, Natsume probably knew why he could see the phase.

I have been living in the physical universe and have sufficient knowledge about Him.

And due to some experience, the phases did not exceed Natsume's cognition, so he observed the phases connected to it.

In addition, the two are so closely linked that the universe has no idea how many times their phases have been modified, and they are simply unable to distinguish one from the other.

Her mind was working rapidly and Natsume Sonoko couldn't help feeling a little confused.

The new perception that I suddenly gained still follows some concepts of time and space and cannot be observed out of thin air.

What was originally thought to be a magical soul essence similar to the all-seeing eye is actually just an observation ability based on one's own cognition.

Not only do you need to establish a perceptual anchor point, but you also have to use your brain if you want to know something. Observation errors are also prone to occur due to different anchor points, and insufficient computing power can even cause brain death.

"This lightless phase allows me to observe reality. The other phase is filled with aim diffusion fields."

"There are an incredibly large number of AIM diffusion force fields gathered there. Even Misaka-senpai's current force field must pass through there before it can flow into reality."

The new perception quickly switched phases, and Natsume instantly felt something incredible.

It turns out that the aim diffusion field does not dissipate naturally as everyone thinks, but is gathered in this phase.

Natsume has always wondered how those aim force fields that dissipated as soon as they were created were able to gather a core, and that Feng Zhan Binghua and the place where she lived were just as concerning.

It’s all related to phase. Now I suddenly understand a lot of things.

Natsume felt inappropriately excited inside; she really liked the feeling of having her doubts answered.

Because Misaka-senpai is nearby, as evolution continues, the impact on this phase area becomes greater and greater.

When Natsume Sonoko's perception entered the phase of the aim force field, she immediately observed an unimaginable force field riot.

This is another replica of Academy City, with similar buildings and individuals, and light that matches Natsume's cognition.

But there was no shadow, no weight, there was air but it was not circulating, and even the earth gave Natsume a sense of falsehood.

And those individuals, like hard-working worker ants, are constantly refreshing and disappearing, and then completely different people appear in their place.

“Are these people energy beings?”

Natsume was very surprised.

She was well aware that these people were different from herself, but in the phase, these energy bodies composed of the aim diffusion field seemed normal.

Affected by half of the absolute ability users in the outside world, the nearby scenes were constantly collapsing and changing, but they immediately returned to normal and then continued to collapse, over and over again.

The only thing that changed was that the surrounding colors gradually turned dark.

Natsume-san doesn't know why negative emotions prefer to be displayed in black or blood red tones.

But if viewed from a human perspective, these colors undoubtedly fit Misaka-senpai's current situation.

So, many things in this world are actually related to human will? For example, the color of miracles.

...

Although Misaka-senpai did not actively influence this phase and her force fields were withdrawn in a timely manner, the energy near the unified space-time axis of the physical universe was still activated at the same time, forming an increasingly violent chain reaction.

During this period of time, countless personality energy bodies filled with resentment and anger were born in the nearby phase area, and then they were constantly refreshed and disappeared.

And if all of Misaka-senpai's force field had not been extracted from her and gathered into reality, it might have caused an unprecedented chaos by now.

If that happens, the student dormitory that Natsume-san has been longing for will not be able to escape the fate of collapse.

Just like a passerby, or a passer-by.

The lonely Miss Observer stayed quietly where she was. Being in a state of perception, she could not interfere with the phase in any way, and the phase could not harm her either.

This also shows that the new perception is definitely not something like brain waves, because the aim diffusion field can inevitably interfere with the brain waves of the ability user.

This is determined by the aim diffusion field itself, which is originally the dissipated energy in the brain.

Is it a coincidence or something else...

Natsume-san felt some strange feelings coming over him.

She had previously thought that she could get some solutions to her problems from soul fusion, and now that she really got it, the familiar feeling when choosing the phase was like telling her to come here quickly.

Am I really that lucky?

This feeling becomes more obvious especially when the two selected phases are both very helpful to oneself and can even play a decisive role.

But there is one thing that Natsume can be sure of, that is, his familiarity with the aim force field phase does not come from the shrine maiden, but more likely comes from himself. After all, he releases this kind of thing every day.

The AIM force field phase can help her observe the situation of Misaka-senpai, and can even allow her to grasp all the dynamics of Misaka-senpai controlling the AIM force field in reality.

And that lightless plane can allow Natsume to greatly improve his temperature control ability. After adapting, he can completely compete with Misaka-senpai for the ability to control electricity.

However, the greatest value to Natsume-san is that he has the ability to peel off the Misaka network that has almost become one with Misaka-senpai in reality.

Not only can she track down the AIM aggregate core formed by the Misaka network here, but she can also stop the experiment by destroying it.

It is also possible to perform a surgical operation to forcibly separate Misaka-senpai and Misaka Network to disconnect the two.
