The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Fortunately, she packed her things quickly and left the research institute with Ishihara Akane. They got into her car and drove towards the location provided by the Underworld Soul Chaser.

They encountered no unexpected events on the way and quickly arrived at the place the Soul Chaser of the Underworld had mentioned.

In a hall within a building that resembled a warehouse with few windows, they encountered the children who had been unconscious during Kihara Gensei's power-breaking experiment, reunited by the influence of the Underworld Soul Chaser.

They lay flat inside medical equipment resembling medical pods, with instruments connected to them to monitor physiological signals and maintain their vital signs.

"I've reviewed the information you sent, and I've also examined the children's bodies. As long as there are no issues with the release of the ability crystals on your end, the children here can wake up at any time," said the Underworld Soul Chaser as he approached Ishihara Sho and Kiyama Harumi.

"I'm all ready on my end, and I can unleash the ability crystal at any time," Kiyama Harumi replied with a serious expression.

"Then let's make preparations and try to resolve these children's problems today." Mingtu Zhuihun looked at her and nodded in instruction.

"Ok."

Afterwards, Kiyama Harumi walked to the side and focused intently on operating the instruments that she had likely asked the Underworld Soul Chaser to obtain, adjusting the various values ​​on them and making final preparations for the upcoming awakening procedure.

……

An hour later, all the procedures were ready.

"Are you ready?" Netherworld Soul Chaser came to Kiyama Harumi and asked again to confirm.

“Ready,” Kiyama Harumi affirmed.

"Then let's begin."

"Yes."

The wake-up program then starts.

Ishihara Akira didn't quite understand, so he could only stand by and watch the spectacle. He watched as the instruments operated one by one, and as the Devil Fruit Crystal suddenly shone brightly in the instrument operated by Kiyama Haruo, then abruptly exploded into countless powders, which were then emptied by the instrument and flowed through pipes into other instruments, where they were used by those other instruments...

Beyond that point, it was beyond the reach of Ishihara Sho.

However, it was very effective!

Only about ten minutes after the ability user crystals completely disappeared, the children who had remained unconscious, and who had been unable to wake up despite Kiyama Harumi's multiple attempts at awakening them, even malfunctioning at the last moment and negatively impacting the experimental procedures, slowly awoke under the influence of the equipment. One by one, they opened their tightly closed eyes and saw the light of the outside world…

However, the children soon closed their eyes and fell asleep again.

Firstly, because they hadn't seen sunlight for so long, their eye cells couldn't immediately withstand the stimulation of strong light. Secondly, although the treatment was completed, the children had been in a coma for quite some time and needed some time for deep sleep recovery.

In other words, when the children wake up again, they will be fully awake.

The same explanation was given to Kiyama Haruo by Mingtu Zhuihun, so Kiyama Haruo didn't say anything. He just told Ishihara Sho that he would stay here until the children woke up and then ignored Ishihara Sho. He truly became a waiting-for-husband stone, guarding the children in the ward.

Seeing this, Ishihara Sho didn't say anything. He exchanged a glance with Mingtu Zhuihun and walked out of the ward together.

"By the way, Mr. Mingtu Zhuihun, if a child develops serious health problems due to dangerous experiments, even to the point of severely impacting their lifespan, do you still have a way to save such a child?" As he was leaving, Ishihara Sho asked Mingtu Zhuihun in a seemingly casual manner.

"It depends on the specific situation. But generally speaking, as long as there is no genetic collapse, I think there is still hope. uu Reading, what, which research institute did you find this kind of patient from?" Mingtu Zhuihun glanced at him, and without beating around the bush, directly saw through Ishihara Sho's thoughts and said calmly.

"Well, there's no way around it. There's just too much darkness in Academy City, and I'm a bit of a busybody. So, I accidentally uncovered another dark plan and discovered about ten thousand children being created as expendable resources. My personal strength is limited. Rescuing them isn't a problem, but as for settling them down and treating their bodies, I guess I'll have to trouble you again, Mr. Netherworld Soul Chaser. Otherwise, I'll probably have to go after the Unification Council and resolve the issue by force." Ishihara Akira spread his hands helplessly, as if he hadn't done it on purpose.

"Your luck is really terrible." After a pause, Mingtu Zhuihun replied with a helpless expression, "I just hope this won't lead to any other trouble later."

"There will definitely be some trouble, but as the source of the disruption, I think that even if there is trouble, it should come to me, this unstable element, first," Ishihara Akira chuckled.

"Who knows? But if possible, I'd rather you avoid these shady schemes. I'm afraid my frail body can't handle too many of the problems you cause," Mingtu Zhuihun complained.

"Well..."

……

While Ishihara Shou and Meido Tsurugi were exchanging witty remarks, after more than a day of hesitation, Misaka Mikoto decided to use her own power to stop and sabotage the mass production of ability users and the absolute ability user plan, and save her sisters.

Therefore, when that night came, Misaka Mikoto decisively left Tokiwadai Middle School and rushed towards the area near the school gate.

Chapter 604 Mikoto and Accelerator

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

Ishihara Shou neither stopped nor participated in Misaka Mikoto's actions. Instead, he quietly followed behind her like a spectator, watching as Misaka Mikoto attacked the research institute that was carrying out the mass production of ability users—that is, the mission to clone her sister—according to the list of various alliances mentioned in the data.

Anyway, with Misaka Mikoto's abilities, she won't encounter any danger.

Moreover, this would also conveniently disrupt research, causing some research institutes to shut down, allowing Ishihara Akira to reap the benefits later and recruit the researchers he had his eye on.

So he was in a very relaxed state, even so relaxed that he had time to visit Aiho Yomikawa and continue to use their previous relationship to break down her defenses...

Then, as expected, Misaka Mikoto was attacked by the dark side group ITEM!

After a fairly intense battle, Misaka Mikoto achieved her goal of destroying the research institute and stopping the plan from continuing, but she also realized that the next steps would be extremely difficult.

After all, Mugino Shizuri, who is also a superpowered individual, has already made a move. Who knows if he will encounter other superpowered individuals such as Kagaki, Teitoku, or Accelerator who will come to intercept him later?

What will we do then?

She wasn't confident she could beat those two people.

Even though she didn't agree with Academy City's ranking of the seven Level 5 espers, and was prepared to challenge Accelerator to completely stop the Level 5 espers plan and end the hellish life her sisters were experiencing from the root, she didn't blindly believe that she could be as lucky as she was today to win against the three Level 5 espers and escape.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto decisively stopped her attacks on the research institute and began to think about how to stop Accelerator from hunting down her sister!

……

The method she could think of was very simple: to take her sisters' place in the experiment and then fight Accelerator head-on!

As for how to find out the location of the experiment...

Her abilities allow her to hack into and access Academy City's massive database, so what's a mere experimental project compared to that?

So before things had even calmed down for two days, Misaka Mikoto started her operation again—

That evening, about ten minutes before the start time of the experiment as stated in the records, Misaka Mikoto appeared near the experimental site. As if she had just happened to be there, or as if she was looking for something, she aimlessly explored the surrounding environment.

Then, during this aimless exploration, she met her younger sister—

"Why is Onee-sama here?" Misaka asked, her mind filled with questions. The Misaka Sisters, whose numbers were unknown, paused for a moment, then tilted their heads and asked Misaka Mikoto, who was standing not far away opposite them.

"What's your number?" Misaka Mikoto walked over, hesitated for a while, and then asked with a frown.

"I am Misaka 9062," Misaka replied, her mind filled with increasing confusion. "It seems that Onee-sama knows about our existence?"

“9062…” Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto’s face turned completely ugly.

Since the sister standing in front of him is number 9062, it means that 9061 Misaka Sisters had already been killed by Accelerator because of that Absolute Level 4 Project. How could he do that!

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and tangible lightning bolts immediately shot out from between her bangs...

"Crackling and popping..."

"You're here to participate in the experiment, right? Today's experiment is over, you can go back now." Taking a deep breath and forcibly calming her emotions, Misaka Mikoto said to the Misaka Sisters in front of her, suppressing the anger in her heart.

“Misaka has not received any orders to terminate the experiment, so she cannot obey her sister’s orders to leave. After thinking it over carefully, Misaka was unable to find any relevant instructions in her mind, and she refused with a heavy heart.” As she spoke, a somber expression appeared on Misaka’s face.

"I said, the experiment is over, you can leave!" Misaka Mikoto's anger rose even higher upon hearing this, and she glared at the Misaka Sister in front of her and emphasized.

"Please say the stop command." Misaka had to emphasize, sensing her older sister's anger.

"I said, the experiment is over!" Misaka Mikoto said angrily.

“Although Misaka could sense Onee-sama’s anger, without the termination command, Misaka couldn’t break the procedure and accept Onee-sama’s arrangements, so I can only apologize,” Misaka replied apologetically. After a pause, Misaka 9062 continued, “Also, the experiment is about to begin, and Misaka needs to get to the experimental site according to the mission instructions. Therefore, although I really wish I could spend more time with Onee-sama, I have to say goodbye now,” Misaka sighed regretfully.

Then, Misaka bypassed Misaka Mikoto and walked towards the experimental site.

Misaka Mikoto wanted to stop them, but after their conversation, she realized that words alone wouldn't stop the Misaka Sisters. So she lowered her half-raised arm, muttered "Damn it," and followed the Misaka Sisters toward the experimental site.

Since persuasion is useless, we can only follow our initial plan and confront the issue head-on!

Although her initial intention in persuading the Misaka Sisters was to make it easier for her to avoid being held back by them when facing Accelerator.

……

A few moments later, Misaka Sisters and Misaka Mikoto arrived at the test site—an abandoned factory that had been temporarily requisitioned for experimental purposes and looked like it was waiting to be demolished.

Misaka Sisters checked her surroundings and then waited quietly.

Fortunately, she and Misaka Mikoto didn't have to wait long. In less than five minutes, a white-haired, arrogant young man wearing a black and white striped pullover shirt and jeans walked into the experimental area with his hands in his pockets, looking like a thug.

"Oh? So those guys at the research institute have finally come to their senses and called their real bodies over?" Accelerator looked at the two Misakas in the arena with great interest and laughed freely.

"Accelerator!" Misaka Mikoto roared furiously, as if she had seen her father's killer.

"This is... the anger you feel knowing I killed your clones? How ridiculous. A bunch of dolls worth no more than 14 yen, and you actually thought they were human? Misaka Mikoto, surely you're not that petty?" Accelerator said with a mocking laugh, as if he had found a funny joke.

"Damn it!" Misaka Mikoto roared, and with a flick of her wrist, a bolt of lightning shot out like a spear toward a communication device.

Accelerator did not dodge, but the lightning spear that flew in front of him suddenly changed its direction of attack and shot back towards Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto knew how powerful her attacks were. Even a casual strike from her would leave an ordinary person severely injured, if not dead. So she didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed her sister and jumped to the side.

"boom!"

The reflected lightning spear landed on the equipment next to it, creating a huge explosion.

Chapter 605 Saving the Day

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

"Since you've attacked, can I assume that the experiment has already begun?" Accelerator wasn't particularly pleased with the results he had achieved, but rather looked with interest at Misaka Mikoto and the Misaka Sisters, who were getting up from the ground in a disheveled state, and asked for confirmation.

"Isn't this what you wanted! Now I'm here! I'm going to beat you, you despicable guy, and save the sisters from your clutches!" Misaka Mikoto stared at Accelerator with unwavering determination.

"Heh, you want to defeat me? Then go ahead and try. I'd also like to see if killing you will allow my abilities to advance to level 6, a level no one has ever reached since the founding of Academy City, just like those researchers said." One-Stop Communication said expectantly.

"I won't be able to look after you for the rest of the time. You should hide to the side for now, and we'll talk about other things after my battle with him is over," Misaka Mikoto said to the Misaka sisters beside her.

"But……"

Before Misaka Sisters could finish speaking, Misaka Mikoto rushed out again and launched an attack on Accelerator.

He started with the Thunder Spear again, shooting it towards Accelerator.

"Haven't you learned your lesson? You should know that this kind of attack can't hurt me at all."

Just as Accelerator had said, without him even making a move, the lightning spear that shot towards him was deflected back again. Misaka Mikoto dodged, and the lightning spear once again struck the machinery in the factory, creating a terrifying explosion.

Misaka Mikoto ignored all of this and instead unleashed her power anew, maximizing the influence of the magnetic field-related components. Just like Magneto descending from the Marvel universe, all the metal objects in the abandoned factory trembled violently, emitting a series of buzzing and clanging sounds! They then abruptly detached from their fixed positions and floated into the air, forming a sea of ​​metal equipment. With a swing of Misaka Mikoto's arm, they shot towards Accelerator like a whirlwind.
