At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"What else can we do? We can only let nature take its course now." Misaki Shokuhou sighed. She knew that a time paradox would happen, but she didn't expect it to be this terrifying.

She was really impressive in the past. In just a year and a half, she managed to get half of the Academy City's board members on her side. Even if the other board members didn't completely listen to her, they wouldn't oppose her.

"There's no other way now," Misaka Mikoto sighed.

"Leading Academy City to quell the Third World War is your final test as acting chairman. After that, you will officially become chairman," said Los Saint.

"Chairperson???" Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and Mitsuaki Aiyu all stared at Shokuhou Misaki in shock.

"Didn't they tell you?" Misaki Shokuhou asked with her hands behind her back, looking puzzled. Finally, she said playfully, "It seems like they really didn't tell you. After all, Misaka-san isn't a member of my faction."

"When did this happen?!" Misaka Mikoto was dumbfounded.

She was completely bewildered. When did Misaki Shokuhou become the acting chairperson of Academy City?

"Who knows what Chairman Aleister was thinking, insisting on designating someone else as his successor? Sigh, being the acting chairman is exhausting." Misaki Shokuhou sighed, her starry eyes looking at Los Saint, who was drinking tea.

“Yes, being an acting chairman is very tiring. With power comes responsibility,” Luo Sheng said, pretending not to see Misaki Shokuhou’s gaze.

This wasn't something he did at Aleister's behest; it was Aleister's own decision, and Aleister no longer had any reason to stay in Academy City.

In Aleister's eyes, Academy City is just a tool. Tools that are useless to him should be thrown away; keeping them is just trouble.

"Gulp~" Shirai Kuroko and Mitsuaki Ai looked at Shokuhou Misaki with a bit of awe. For them, a junior high school student, the principal was already a big shot, let alone a director or chairman.

Unbeknownst to them, the classmate who had gone back to the past with them inexplicably became a super big shot that they could never see.

This is no less significant than an ordinary student meeting the head of state.

No, the chairman of Academy City is the head of state in the international arena, while the directors are ministers.

"Alright, here you go. Take a look. After you've seen them, I'll start working on your superpower upgrades." Ten futuristic-looking discs appeared in Luo Sheng's hand, with streams of information appearing and disappearing on them.

This is Bai Yuekui's 'World Calculation' rapid learning tool.

For ordinary junior high school students like them, learning 'world formulas' through written learning would take an entire year of sleepless nights, even for a simple mathematical or physical code.

It would take at least a full year to learn the first part completely. The 'World Calculation Formula' is divided into twelve levels, corresponding to the first-order transcendent to the Great Power God King.

With each layer built, the superhuman's physique also improves, and their genetic level is elevated, until they build an immortal divine body with their superpowers. Oh, in scientific terms, they completely control every cell, atom, and particle of their own body, all the way down to the 'string vibrations' that make up the particles.

To put it simply, the twelve layers of the 'divine body' in the 'world calculation formula' are just constantly exercising microscopic control over the matter that constitutes its own life, all the way down to the most primordial 'string' of matter.

At the same time, on a macro level, it is about continuously improving control over external matter, energy, physical concepts, and so on.

In short, it means cultivating oneself as a small world while using that small world to interfere with the external world.

Ultimately, the cultivation of the 'World Operation Formula' can directly constitute a 'scientific worldview'.

However, Bai Yuekui himself did not develop a 'cosmology', so he was stuck at the level of 'High-ranking God-King'.

Although Bai Yuekui has not yet formed a scientific worldview, it is only a matter of time before he succeeds.

The reason why the 'superpower system' has become a niche phenomenon is because the 'world calculation formula' is too difficult and has too high a threshold, requiring exposure to core science from the very beginning.

This is something specifically made for geniuses.

And Academy City is just the right place for this.

After receiving the 'CD', Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and Mitsuaki Aiyu placed it on their foreheads according to the instructions, and immediately a large number of 'formulas' flooded into their brains like a tidal wave.

And it helps them understand the meaning of formulas, making it easy for them to grasp the conceptual logic of the scientific world.

Until they reach the limit of what they can currently be developed.

Bilibili Bilibili——

Blue electricity surged from Misaka Mikoto's body, and at the same time, a terrifying electromagnetic field spread out. The electromagnetic field spread very quickly, covering the entire Seventh District in the blink of an eye, and it was not over yet, but was spreading towards the entire Academy City.

The magnetic field of the planet where Academy City is located has undergone drastic changes.

Snapped!

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers, and time seemed to shift slightly. The fluctuations emanating from the four women quickly disappeared, and their will returned.

"Wow, this is amazing, teacher!! This formula is incredible! My previous formulas are like simple one plus one in comparison!" Misaka Mikoto was overjoyed.

"My abilities have increased at least seven or eight times! And I feel like I can control the Earth's magnetic field and the atmospheric magnetic field."

"Have I become a Level 6 Absolute Ability User?"

Luo Sheng smiled and shook his head: "You've only learned up to the sixth level. You need to learn up to the seventh level to reach the threshold of level 6. The first six levels are the foundation for building your 'personal world'. Only when you reach the seventh level can you formally build the basic framework of your 'personal world'."

"If I had to put it in perspective, the sixth-level world calculation formula is equivalent to the dividing line between level 5 and level 6."

"Reaching the fifth level makes you a Level 5 in Academy City, reaching the seventh level makes you a Level 6, and the seventh to eleventh levels all fall under the Level 6 category."

"What about the last twelve floors, teacher?" Misaki Shokuhou immediately asked, her eyes sparkling.

She had also learned up to the sixth level and originally wanted to continue learning, but her head started to hurt every time she looked at a short piece of code. This was a signal that her brain was working to its limit.

The information content of a small formula in the seventh layer is more than that of the previous six layers combined. Learning the seventh layer yields about ten times more information than the previous six layers combined.

Having witnessed the 'world formula', she felt not only gratitude towards her teacher, but also admiration. Just how genius was her teacher who could write such a 'formula'?

Moreover, level eleven is already the limit of level 6, so a teacher who can write up to level twelve must have already surpassed level 6.

"The twelfth level, huh? The twelfth level isn't perfect yet. You'll understand once you've learned it," Luo Sheng said casually.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Shirai Kuroko exclaimed excitedly, her cheeks flushed.

"I've become a Level 5 esper!! Oh my god!!!"

"My spatial teleportation distance has increased by about seventeen times, seventeen times! And the amount of matter I've teleported has also increased by more than ten times!!"

There are only 58 spatial ability users in Academy City, of whom only 19 have reached Level 3, which allows them to teleport people.

Only 6 students in the Space Department have reached Level 4.

In Academy City, Level 5 is defined as 'strategic level', meaning that under certain conditions, a person can single-handedly fight against a fully armed army of ten thousand.

She can now teleport a distance of two kilometers and a weight of more than two tons. She can perform more than three spatial teleportation operations per second. Moreover, she can move objects within two kilometers in the air.

As someone who desperately wanted to become a Level 5, she had long kept the requirements for becoming a Level 5 in mind.

"I... I've become a Level 5 too!" Honey Ant Ai Yu's cheeks flushed with excitement. Her ability, Psychic Perforation, was already capable of making her a Level 5, but she lacked the resources. After all, there was already a Level 5 psychic, and the research institution was unwilling to invest resources in training another one.

Snap snap~

Applause rang out.

"Alright girls, this is mandatory learning for you. Your bodies can't handle the sudden surge in power, and you need to adjust." Luo Sheng clapped his hands, stood up, and opened the door to the storage room next to him.

"Come with me."

"Oh..." The four excited, blushing girls exchanged glances and followed.

I was stunned as soon as I walked in.

"Huh—this isn't right! How come the space inside is so big?" Shirai Kuroko said, dumbfounded.

The space in front of her was already as big as a football field, and this was just a storage room. She clearly remembered that the teacher's separate teaching building was just an ordinary building.

"Is this space technology!?" Misaki Shokuhou exclaimed in disbelief, "Academy City already has space technology?"

That's not right. She's the acting chairperson of Academy City. She knows a lot about the technologies Academy City has. If there's any space technology that can be used, she couldn't possibly not know about it.

"Is this another scientific technology you developed, teacher?" Misaki Shokuhou asked, dumbfounded. Teacher, you're too much of a genius, you're almost turning into a monster.

“Well, it’s just space expansion technology.” Luo Sheng said matter-of-factly, “Academy City clearly has so much data on the abilities of space ability users, yet those mediocre scientists can’t even create space technology. They’re just useless.”

Those scientists are pursuing completely nonsensical things, and they lose their humanity in pursuit of those things.

In particular, the Kihara group is not a family, but rather the group of mad scientists who first gathered in Academy City. Most of the world's current scientific and technological achievements are the result of their work.

The name Kihara was adopted by scientists who later came to Academy City to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors; in the great Eastern country, this would be called "adopting a surname".

Kihara's scientific legacy was not based on blood ties but on a teacher-student relationship, with students inheriting their teachers' ideas and continuing their research, thus changing their surname to Kihara.

Not all of Kihara's scientists were mad scientists; it's just that most of them ruined their brains in the pursuit of scientific research.

"...Perhaps it's just that you're being too outrageous, teacher." Misaka Mikoto retorted. Teacher, you're no longer a normal human being. What normal human being can go back in time and change the world?

"Go change into your lab coat, then go into the tank," Luo Sheng said, pointing to the changing room.

“Okay…” The four women nodded. It was just an ugly and unsightly lab coat; they were already very familiar with this kind of thing.

Soon the four women changed into lab coats, and after being covered in electrodes by Luo Sheng, they climbed into the culture chamber filled with nutrient solution.

If you turn them upside down, you can cosplay Aleister.

Los Angeles tapped a few times on the tablet, and the incubation chamber lit up.

The four women quickly fell asleep in the incubation chamber, and the genetic optimization and adjustment process began to suit their rapidly increasing superpowers.

“It will only take three hours to complete.” Los Saint looked calmly at the girls in the glass jar.

He didn't have much desire for the girls. In his eyes, they were just thirteen or fourteen-year-old children. Besides, he had seen too many goddesses. The appearance and temperament of goddesses were not something that ordinary human girls could imitate.

“Hmm.” Los Saint looked in one direction, his gaze landing on Italy, the other half of the European continent.

At this time, the Vatican was experiencing its biggest internal conflict in centuries.

The world's three major religions are the Roman Catholic Church, Russian Protestantism, and English Puritanism.

Apart from the English Puritans, the other two are very divided internally, especially the Roman Orthodox Church.

The Roman Catholic Church is the strongest and oldest of the three religions, and the Pope should be the religious leader.

But the current pope is only a figurehead leader; his real power has long been usurped by the 'Right Seat of God'.

The 'Right Seat of God' was originally a group of priests created by a group of ascetics to overcome 'original sin'. They focused on weakening their original sin so that their bodies would be closer to those of 'angels', and they did this in order to use 'angelic magic' that influences phase.

'Angelic Arts' can directly channel the power of phases into reality, thereby launching conceptual attacks or influencing the laws of nature on a small scale.

Later, the 'Right Seat of God' became the advisor to successive popes because of his knowledge and power. As successive popes relied too much on the 'Right Seat of God', the pope's power was gradually undermined, and the Right Seat of God became a shadow pope.

Currently, there are four members of the 'Right Seat of God,' symbolizing the four archangels. Three of them have obtained 'angelic constitution' by weakening original sin, and one of them was recruited to fill the position because he learned 'angelic magic.'

Two of them basically didn't manage church affairs, so most of the power was monopolized by the Right Fire.

The Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

This place is privately run by the Pope and is mainly used for secret meetings and daily rest. The huge dome is made up of hundreds of thousands of colored glass pieces that form a giant painting called 'The Last Judgment'.

"How stupid... Are you really a believer in the Lord and a follower of Michael? To save the world, you must first destroy it and incite all the major powers in the world to wage indiscriminate war!" Pope Matthew Liss's pupils trembled as he looked angrily at the orange-haired youth in red priest's robes blocking his way.

"Instigating wars between major powers, stirring up conflicts between various magical forces, and forcibly igniting the fuse of conflict between the magical and scientific sides—this is World War III!"
