At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"I alone, even an absolute time-manipulation ability user, cannot change an entire timeline. It requires the help of many people."

"Among all the Level 5s, only three are able to participate; the others have major problems."

"Let me make this clear first: by participating in my plan, you will inevitably face the darkness of the entire Academy City." After saying this, Luo Sheng smiled and looked at the four people with different expressions.

"Of course I'm going to get involved, Professor Losang!" Misaki Shokuhou's tone was playful, but behind that playfulness lay an immense weight.

"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely turn back time and save the people who were supposed to be dead."

“Me too,” Honey Ant Ai Yu said earnestly. In the artificial laboratory, the teacher almost died to protect them, and her best friend also died in the experiment. If it happened again, none of this would have happened.

"Damn it, why do I feel like you guys know everything?" Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, completely bewildered by what she had just heard.

"And why would someone as inhuman as you look like you're trying to save someone?"

"Misaka-san is as naive as ever. It's foolish to judge others before you know the whole story." Misaki Shokuhou didn't care at all and instead said sarcastically. If it weren't for standing up for Dory, I wouldn't even have thought of targeting you.

"So, are you all planning to go back a year to change everything?" Luo Sheng laughed.

"..." Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth, her hands clenched together. She was feeling very complicated and felt like she was dreaming.

The 'railgun mass production plan' made her uneasy, but on the other hand, there was also the serious issue of 'spacetime paradox'.

Misaki Shokuhou calmly watched Misaka Mikoto struggle with her expression, her arms crossed. If Misaka-san chose not to escape reality, she would definitely make things difficult for her.

“Go…” Misaka Mikoto said through gritted teeth, feeling that this might be true.

She was determined to find out what was going on, no matter what.

“I’m going too. If Onesa is going, of course I’ll go with him. I’m Onesa’s number one supporter.” Shirai Kuroko’s eyes were firm. A year and a half ago, she hadn’t met Onesa yet and was still doing her internship as a disciplinary committee member in Branch 177.

“Kuroko…” Misaka Mikoto was moved.

"Well, you guys go and deal with the darkness in Academy City and save the persecuted, while I'll go and have a good talk with Aleister," Los Saint said with a smile.

"With the support of Aleister, the chairman of Academy City, things will be much easier for you."

Before solving the problem, he needs to have a chat with Aleister. If Aleister is decent, he'll give him some respect; if not, he'll help him be decent.

To be honest, he quite admired Aleister. Aleister wasn't entirely evil; he was simply driven mad by the fate caused by the unconscious power of the demons.

“Chairman Aleister!!!” ×4.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were surprised that Professor Los Saint could directly meet the founder of Academy City and even 'talk' with him.

Misaki Shokuhou and Ai Mitsuaki vaguely know that the source of darkness in Academy City is Chairman Aleister, and that half of those insane plans originated from Chairman Aleister.

Therefore, even though Misaki Shokuhou knew about the 'Railgun Mass Production Plan' and the 'Level 5 Evolution Plan', she dared not act. If she were to get involved, she would not only be unable to stop it but would also be subjected to violent purges.

Then we'll be fighting against the violence of the entire Academy City.

"Well then, let's go back to the past and begin." Luo Sheng clapped his hands with a smile.

"Timeline Journey - Echoes of the Past -"

Snapped--

A clap of hands rang out, and the entire office seemed to turn into a deep whirlpool. Misaki Shokuhou, Mikoto Misaka, Kuroko Shirai, and Ai Yu Mitsuaki were like insects caught in the whirlpool, completely defenseless.

Aa ...

Amid the girl's screams, everything around her began to distort, reflecting everything that had happened over the past year and a half, as if hundreds of thousands of movies were being played in reverse at the same time.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and everything around them had changed.

“Ah ...

Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, Shirai Kuroko, and Mitsuaki Ai appeared on the street, and the sweltering heat of the dog days of summer hit them.

The four of them fell flat on their backsides onto the scorching hot street, where students enjoying ice cream at an open-air cafe ten meters ahead were startled by the screams and looked over in surprise.

"It hurts, it's so hot... I feel so dizzy, it's like I was thrown into a washing machine..." Misaki Shokuhou's face turned pale as she clutched her chest, looking like she was about to vomit, but she quickly looked around, and most importantly, she looked at the news broadcast balloon in mid-air.

The balloon will broadcast real-time weather and news of the day.

[7 month 30 day]

[News from the Superpower Development Organization: On July 28th, they successfully discovered the strongest Level 4 psychic ability user to date. The fifth Level 5 user may be born this year...]

Chapter 362 Joining Forces to Change the Past: Let's Plan!

“July 30th!” Honey Ant Aiyu stood up from the sun-baked ground, covered her lips with her hands, and her pupils trembled.

"This is the time I was sidelined by the 'Internal Evolution Project,' and I was hunted down by LLO's bio-modified weapons when I returned to the school!"

"Could it be that we've really gone back to that time?! Have we really gone back to a year ago?"

Honey Ant Loves quickly looked at the large screen on the high-rise building that was playing advertisements, with the date and 24-hour time displayed in the lower left corner.

"Really? Teacher Luo really took me back to a year ago..." Mi Yi Ai Yu pursed her lips, her body trembling slightly, her hands involuntarily hugging her shoulders, her heart churning with turbulent waves.

She didn't really believe that the teacher she had just seen at the school and met for the first time had godlike superpowers.

"Really..." Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and Shokuhou Misaki came to their senses, their hearts also filled with shock.

"Of course it's true." Los Saint's voice echoed in their minds.

Don't bother looking anymore; I didn't go back to the past with you.

I am now communicating with you through time itself. Feel free to alter the timeline; I will do my best to mitigate the time paradoxes.

Of course, if possible, you should try to create a closed loop between the past and the time you've changed, minimizing any impact on the past.

[Shokuhou's psychological manipulation abilities can interfere with memory, preventing most people's future paths from veering too far off course.]

Go ahead, I'll bring you back after you've finished dealing with this.

"I really have returned to the past, thank you, Teacher Losang." Misaki Shokuhou's lips trembled slightly as she returned to the Divine Realm, and her eyes involuntarily reddened. At this moment, she felt an unusual trust in this teacher whose memories she could not access.

"Wait! Going back to the past is indeed incredible, but what reason do you have to go back to the past? What's this about being chased by Mikoto?" Misaka Mikoto said with a serious expression as she came to her senses. At this moment, she realized the seriousness of the matter.

She's not stupid; how could she not see that there was something fishy going on in this series of shocking events?

As a Level 5, even though she is still a student, she absolutely cannot let bad things happen. If she didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that she knows, if she does nothing, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

"You finally figured it out, Misaka-san. You're not so dense after all." Shokuhou Misaki unusually didn't speak to Misaka Mikoto. After all, Misaka Mikoto is a Level 5, and if she could help with the rest, things would be much easier.

"Shokuhou-san, Mitsumichi-san, as a member of the disciplinary committee, I can't just ignore this. Please tell me what you know." Shirai Kuroko's eyes were sharp; she now knew she was caught up in an incredibly difficult and messy situation.

"Sigh... I'll go first," said Mi Yi Ai Yu, her eyes filled with a hint of gloom as she pursed her lips.

"The development of my abilities, as well as those of Shokuhou and Hokaze, was handled by the 'Talent Development Center' in the Second School District."

"I was developed as the fifth Level 5, but Academy City discovered Shokuhou-kun midway through, who is more versatile than me in mental abilities, so I was sidelined."

"I've been stuck at level 3 ever since my skills development was interrupted."

Misaki Shokuhou watched as Ai Yu Mitsuhiko, whose expression was full of gloom, pursed her lips and continued listening. She felt bad that someone had lost their life because of her, even though she didn't know about it.

"At that time, I returned to the school building feeling lost and was attacked. The attackers were an organization in Academy City that carried out biological weapon modification, which usually disguised itself as an animal protection organization."

"Their director, Ryusuke Matsuo, obtained the frozen first Ability User of Academy City, the 'Source Sample,' and wanted to use my ability to control the 'Source Sample,' so he's hunting me down."

"They want to use the 'origin specimen' to threaten the Academy City Council..."

"I was able to escape because a boy named Touma Kamijou saved me."

"Then a council member mobilized forces to get the security guards involved, and that was the end of it."

"Kamijo Touma..." Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto were stunned.

“I see.” Misaki Shokuhou took a deep breath. “Mine is more complicated, and it also involves Misaka-san.”

“‘Talent Lab’ was not in a good position to develop my abilities. They wanted to clone celebrities using their genes, but they failed.”

"It's more direct to brainwash living celebrities to serve them than to clone them. So while they were developing my abilities, they also used my cerebral cortex tissue to create a biological brain replica of my abilities, and they succeeded."

"How could I possibly let this succeed? It's too dangerous for mind control to fall into the hands of evil people."

“Besides this, there’s also ‘Dolly.’” Misaki Shokuhou then looked at Misaka Mikoto, whose fists were clenched tightly by the darkness of Academy City.

"Misaka-san, I can tell you definitively that the 'Railgun mass production plan' is real."

"What—" Misaka Mikoto exclaimed, but before she could utter a word, she was interrupted by Shokuhou Misaki.

"Don't rush, your first clone, 'Misaka Zero,' is named Dolly."

“I didn’t know she was a clone at the time. The researchers just told me to comfort the child, who had spent her short life in the ‘talent room’.”

"They were used as guinea pigs to provide experimental data for subsequent human cloning."

"She developed psychological problems due to being alone for a long time, so she arranged for me to mediate."

"Of course, I later learned that a girl had already disappeared because of Dolly. That girl knew Dolly's identity first and naively wanted to fight against the artificial mansion, and then she 'disappeared'."

"Dolly's only friend went missing, so the researcher asked me to deceive Dolly and pretend to be her friend."

"Later, I only learned everything before Dolly died from the constant human experiments." Misaki Shokuhou looked like a pickled cabbage: "Later, I took control of the artificial intelligence facility and stopped all the experiments."

"How...how could this happen! How could Academy City allow something like this to happen! This...this...this outrageous thing!!!" Misaka Mikoto roared, her breathing out of control.

A hissing sound—blue electric current uncontrollably sprang from the body's surface.

She initially thought Academy City knew about the clones because they were there to replace her, but the thought of her clones being used as guinea pigs made her unable to suppress her anger.

"...How could Academy City allow such a heinous thing to happen?" Shirai Kuroko gritted her teeth. She had become a disciplinary committee member for the sake of justice.

The Disciplinary Committee is composed entirely of students who maintain basic security in Academy City and assist the Security Guards when necessary, while the Security Guards deal with terrorist incidents.

The disciplinary committee members and security guards are independent systems designed to prevent corruption within each of them. However, since the disciplinary committee system was introduced, there has never been any corruption among the disciplinary committee members, but rather a considerable amount of corruption among the security guards.

There were even a few instances where disciplinary committee members assisted security guards in purging corrupt security personnel.

"How could such a thing happen in Academy City? Heh, how could the Disciplinary Committee members, who are supposed to be maintaining order and catching delinquents in broad daylight, be allowed to know?" Misaki Shokuhou's tone was tinged with disgust and helplessness.

"Because these things were permitted by Academy City, by the Board of Directors, and by the Chairman..."

"Damn it!" Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth. Now all she wanted was to get to the bottom of things: "Whoever allowed it, I will never let this happen!"

“Alright, Misaka-san.” Shokuhou Misaki crossed her arms, her chest distorted by the pressure. “Lossan-sensei bringing us back changed everything.”

“My abilities are best suited for covertly attacking those research institutions, and I know a lot of things, so I hope you can cooperate with me.”

"Listen to you?" Misaka Mikoto raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat reluctant. She hadn't forgotten how Shokuhou had messed with her at school, and she knew now wasn't the time to start a fight. She took a deep breath.

"Hey, Shokuhou, tell me, are you targeting me at school because of my... Dolly?"
