Temperature Control in Academy City

"It was the same when I left Academy City last time. There were still many days left, but you rushed me back early. I was so sad that I had to accept the fact for a long time."

There was a hint of impatience in her tone. Miss Bun Hair was always so direct in her attitude towards some annoying guys.

Although the girl in gorgeous clothes in front of her has sufficient reasons for revenge, and Miss Hitomi is suspected of sealing the other party, Natsume Sonoko doesn't care about these things because it wasn't her who did it.

She also hates things like religion and has no feelings towards gods. She is a very determined girl who loves science.

From this perspective, Natsume-san seems to be more similar to Miss Hitomi.

"The gods will not change their minds because of the resistance of mortals."

"My punishment from heaven will not stop until your life is completely over."

"It's an interesting idea. In fact, I can't find anything that makes me care. Compared to living in Takamagahara, life in the human world finally has some ups and downs."

Unconsciously, the eyes of this religious god became brighter and brighter, as if he regarded revenge on someone as something worthy of his attention.

Having been rejected by Academy City and those rebels in the human world before, she became increasingly lifeless, like a puppet sculpture. But once she saw the girl in front of her again, her emotions were aroused again, as if even the emotions that had been unable to form for a long time had some fluctuations.

In fact, after Takama-ga-hara was transformed by a certain shrine maiden, the existence of Oomikami has become closer and closer to the physical world.

Until she completely abandons her identity as the god of Takamagahara and the religion that carries her existence is completely destroyed from the human world, perhaps she will be able to get rid of that narrow religious image and become a free angel in a similar phase to the physical universe.

However, due to the gradual disappearance of religion and the dual influence of archetype control and transformed phases, her current power will be weakened and eliminated, to the point of being completely unrecognizable.

No one knows what kind of changes will occur in her existence after the Takama-ga-hara phase is completely wiped out and becomes a second existence similar to the physical universe.

In fact, apart from the light, that phase seems to lack nothing.

Even Miss Tongzi imitated the legendary God of Creation and used a quantum representation method similar to that of the real universe.

That is the wave-particle duality, which will appear in a fixed collapsed state only when observed, greatly saving time and energy.

Maybe Miss Hitomi thinks that the world is just like the online games in her memory, a program that has been set up long ago.

Just like before the player enters a game map, the monsters and bosses in it are in an uncertain intermediate state. Only when the map is loaded successfully, those things that were originally data or something else will completely collapse into the picture that the player sees.

Perhaps only Hitomi, who has obtained the memories of the online game, can look at the composition of the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index from a completely new perspective. There must be an "artificial" judgment mechanism in this world.

The God of Creation does exist, the Red and White Priestess once thought so when she looked up at the sky.

If everything is in chaos, how can stable physical rules emerge? So if you want to explore a possible path, you must devote yourself to science.

Magic, which wantonly destroys the existing rules of the physical universe, is something that must be restricted.

"I understand."

"I have no idea about the question you asked. Even if I knew, I would never tell you. Instead, I would seal you away for tens of thousands of years."

"You evil fellow from the old times, wake up completely."

An expression of extreme dissatisfaction appeared on her face, and Natsume Sonoko's suppressed anger was aroused again. She stared at the other party with her eyes and spoke without fear.

She is not afraid of fighting, so how could she be afraid of quarreling? It's just that this kind of behavior is very unladylike.

But sometimes, I can no longer care about Natsume, whose personality is gradually becoming distorted.

Thinking of the senior schoolmate who was almost killed by the helicopter propeller, as well as the innocent students and Natsume's family who were implicated, Natsume Sonoko felt aggrieved and angry.

"Hitomi, your vocabulary doesn't seem to be as good as before."

"According to what you said during our last meeting, you should call me an evil moving irregular energy block that hides in the darkness, peeks into the human world, and attempts to control people's hearts."

Oomikami answered the angry girl in front of him seriously, as if he was just stating a fact.

She did not feel any emotional fluctuations because of the other party's actions or words. Perhaps it was just as she had said before, she found it difficult to understand human emotions, so it was naturally difficult for her to develop emotions.

This emotional lack is even more serious than that of Misaka sisters. After all, clones are also human beings, while Ohmikami is just an energy life form. They are two completely different existences.

But at this time I thought of my classmate Feng Zhan Binghua. She is an energy body, but she has emotions. This probably involves a lot of different factors such as man-made, religious, idol creation, puppet sculpture, etc.

Chapter 520: Expressionless

The two expressionless girls stared at each other, their swaying shadows stretched far away and finally intertwined and disappeared in the darkness.

In the niche field of dull expressions, Natsume seems to have finally found a strong opponent who can rival her, and then finds that she seems to be slightly inferior.

I met a master, he is worthy of being a remnant of the old era.

"Both heat sensing and phase observation gave the same result. This person is right in front of me, but I can't detect his existence."

"This is a very disadvantageous situation. Once the opponent chooses to attack, I will immediately become passive and may even be defeated instantly."

Her palms clenched slightly. Natsume Sonoko's mind was a little sensitive now, and she always associated things with the bad side.

Because her many experiences have taught her that it is in her best interest to remain vigilant. Once she lets down her guard, she may even be attacked by classmates at school, which is undoubtedly a sad and exhausting thing.

Unconsciously, a girl with a bun-like hairstyle is gradually following the same path as her senior Shokuhou. The cost of this kind of growth is undoubtedly very huge, and it is also something she has been trying to avoid all along.

However, as Natsume began to collect all the useful information and intelligence around her, her eyes gradually became serious.

"I trusted my feelings and I didn't leave the park."

"Excluding my sudden recovery of vision, my other observation methods only read data about the blue spores that permeated the park, so everything in front of me actually does not exist."

"Not necessarily. If, as the other party just said, she is an evil moving irregularly shaped energy block, then it does make sense."

The eyelids of a guy with a ball head twitched, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at the other person carefully for a while, as if he understood something.

In fact, Natsume Sonoko is still a little confused and can only judge the other party's identity information from some information revealed by the other party.

Whether it was the seal of the pupil or the identity of the main god of the religion, it was almost just the other party's one-sided statement. But now there was no need to doubt anything. Natsume-san didn't have any information about the other party, so there was no room for rebuttal or debunking.

In this case, those blue spores themselves might be the girl in gorgeous clothes in front of us.

Irregular shapes are actually just a mess.

Perhaps as long as a certain level of spore energy is gathered, the other party can be materialized through certain means. Then whether it is the surrounding environment or the abnormality in oneself, it is actually some kind of change caused by the spore energy.

In other words, I am now in the other person's body.

Thinking of this, the guy with the ball head couldn't help but breathe faster, ready to destroy the surrounding spore formation at any time.

As long as her personal reality exists and her brain is functioning normally, she can mobilize computing power to control the surrounding environment. There is no separation between the brain and personal reality.

Unless one encounters a situation similar to that with Kihara Gensei before, where the brain is completely controlled by the other party, one will have to fight for control of the brain again.

But as it stands now, her actions here can interfere with the actions of the body in the normal physical universe, so this possibility basically does not exist.

"This is not an illusion, nor is it a fake place. This is the mountains of Tottori."

Noticing the change in expression of a certain bun-haired girl and seeming to have guessed what she was thinking, Oomikami spoke with an unquestionable look on her face, and pointed to the surrounding environment which looked like the real world.

"It's just that this is a fragment recorded in the past time and space. Under the power of the gods, everything that humans can imagine in reality will be interfered with, to the point of causing spatial confusion, time reversal, identity exchange, historical reset, and other phenomena within the coverage area."

"In theory, the power of gods is almost unlimited, because the world itself does not resist this. But even if we can change everything in the real universe unscrupulously, we still have to rely on two basic laws, that is, there is no obvious priority in the interference of various divine powers, and the influence and performance on the universe only depends on the religious content contained in the interference power."

"Besides, whether it's the gods of Takamagahara, the angels of Christianity, the Buddha of Buddhism, the gods of Hinduism..., they can all freely transform the universe, and even confront each other to compete for the right to transform and interfere with the universe. However, because there is no difference in priority, it is difficult to block the interference of another power of the same level."

Oomikami was staring at the campfire in a daze. It had been a long time since she spoke so much to others. It was as if she had become a ruthless talking machine.

It seemed that whenever she was in front of this red and white priestess, her long-dormant emotions would fluctuate.

This change could probably be attributed to some kind of transformation that the red and white priestess had made to her and Takama-ga-hara, resulting in her body being covered with traces of the other party.

"Eh."

Tilting her head, Natsume Sonoko still felt a little confused, but she did hear it clearly.

This is a park, but it is not a park. Everything has changed in the universe.

Having said that, is it really possible to move the space that existed in the past into reality?

However, ever since she came into contact with Phase and Feng Zhan, she felt that her worldview began to collapse again, and now it was just a matter of how much more it would collapse.

And if a certain girl with a bun could use her imagination a little harder, this situation would be nothing more than observing the past history of the universe, and using the power of interference to cover a small part of the past in this small park.

It looks like going back in time, but it's actually just a re-enactment of the scene.

But in this case, it seems that even time has become unreliable, because as long as there is a strong enough force, the current universe can be reset to the way it was several years ago, or even longer ago. It is really an ordinary world full of weakness.

However, it is not credible that the Great God in front of him can read the historical context of the universe, because this is almost exclusive to guys like Natsume Sonoko who have some kind of pseudo-omniscient ability.

In addition, Natsume's heat perception is still effective, so this is probably just an ordinary interference phenomenon of angelic power, which cannot even be concealed from the personal reality of the ability user, indicating that the other party's attainments in competing for cosmic authority are not outstanding.

Let's get back to the point. A certain girl with a bun on her head didn't think about all that at all. She still doesn't know where the Takama-ga-hara that the other party mentioned is, and what kind of existence God is.

However, her imagination was still very strong. She just silently connected the various information she knew and then deduced many things.

Takama-ga-hara should be a phase, and Oomikami is the phase life form inside it. Religion as an existence is inseparable from the phase, and it can interfere with the universe like a person with special abilities.

At the same time, just like Feng Zhan, phase life forms should also be made up of some kind of energy.

If what the other party said is true, then one of Natsume's doubts can be resolved, that is, there are indeed some living beings in the phase, and students like Fuzan are not isolated cases.

Chapter 521 Abnormal Space

This is an abnormal space similar to the physical universe, or perhaps it is just a real projection of past history.

Natsume Sonoko could hear the crackling sound of burning firewood in her ears, feel the wind and heat on her skin, and looking into the distance, she could see increasingly deep and dense vegetation and trees, extending to places beyond her sight.

This range seems endless, as if it carries the entire universe, but it also has certain boundaries. To use an appropriate metaphor to explain, it is like the background map commonly seen in online games.

But at this time, the darkness in the space gradually faded away, and even the campfire seemed dim.

The originally dark and closed space began to become active and lively, as if it was finally tinged with a hint of light.

what happened?

Natsume Sonoko, with a thoughtful look on her face and then a serious one, quickly raised her head and found that everything around her began to change, and the source was naturally the guy three meters away from her.

It’s started. Can’t you help but do it?

Natsume Sonoko was not surprised at all, and even felt that this was how it should be, but she still felt a little depressed and uneasy in her heart.

Bringing myself into such an unfamiliar environment, and telling myself a bunch of incomprehensible things that are hard to tell true from false, finally returns to the common theme of fighting.

That's right, Natsume Sonoko has seen many people who possess powerful military power but turn a blind eye to the demands and feelings of others.

Even she herself had done things like stealing treasures from bad boys. Strictly speaking, she was only a little better than others. She remembered to return the borrowed things. At most, she changed her attitude a little and chose to help the bad boys.

The fact that people with super powers are a powerful force in the student community cannot be changed in any way, and euphemisms such as student representatives are just wishful thinking of a guy with a bun.

Therefore, fighting is unavoidable even if the dignified Miss Tokiwadai is unwilling, because everyone is only thinking about themselves.

In order to resolve this situation of misunderstanding and different positions, violence is the simplest and fastest way.

Natsume was not surprised at all when the Great God in front of him chose to do this.

Fortunately, Natsume Sonoko had made preparations in advance, so she was not completely helpless.

We draw our swords with a clear conscience and clean hands.

Then let's have a good fight and see who falls first. Natsume Sonoko has decided to take responsibility for the chaos she brought to Academy City and for the senior who almost died.

"I can even see your anxiety and fear, but I can't sense any thought of retreating."

"Your will to fight is so strong that it's stubborn. This is the only thing that has never changed."

The voice of the girl on the other side reached Natsume Sonoko's ears. Her flat tone seemed to be just stating the facts, and not even a hint of sigh could be heard.

"Tongzi, if you try to destroy the barrier outside, my power will forever parasitize your friends and follow them until the end of time."

"I'm tired of this boring and empty universe, and I can't go back to Takamagahara, which you transformed. So I came to find you."

"I will fulfill my oath and punish the blasphemous witch. After that, the wrath of God will inevitably follow. Open your eyes, stand up straight, use all your strength to resist, and try to make me feel angry."

"Don't let me down."

The guy who called himself Omikami began to glow, just like the sun god that illuminates everything. Everything around him seemed to have "divinity", as if it was a manifestation of his own extremely complex and vast information, and it was spreading out in the form of light.

This is not pure angelic power, but more like an all-round information attack, but it needs to borrow the interference medium such as the light formed by the angelic power. In this way, the two are actually inseparable, just like the formula and personal reality of the ability user.

Then just by existing there, the gods can invade individual users who don't have firewalls installed.

Information pollution and status suppression are indescribable.

Even if the high and mighty god falls to the earth, she is still as scorching as the sun. This is her specific image in religion, and it seems that she has not been completely wiped out.

Even as the phase of Takamagahara materializes, it feels more and more like the real sun, but it is a dark sun with special radiation and pollution.

This dark sun emits a scorching pale light, as if it regards illuminating everything as its own truth.

Once completely enveloped by the light, mortals will grow fangs and claws, wise men will become believers, magicians will firmly believe in her truth, those with powerful abilities will have their personal realities polluted, those who accept the light will bow in fear, and those who fear the light will corrupt their faith.
