Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

Fujiwara Chika was a little surprised. This Aleister Crowley was worthy of being named after the Beast of Apocalypse. He was indeed a big shot. He could stand out no matter what he did.

The martial artist said, "That's not true. Just because Aleister Crowley became the leader of the scientific community doesn't mean he devoted himself to scientific research. It's just that the Academy City he founded promoted the rapid development of science."

Lala: "That doesn't make sense. If he doesn't understand science, how can he promote the rapid development of technology?"

Although the various props made by Lala are magical, they are actually in line with scientific laws. So as a scientist, she is very curious about how a magician can do so much science.

Martial artist: "The answer is simple. It's reverse engineering. Magic and science appear to conflict and go in opposite directions, but in reality, they are poles apart. Their different paths lead to the same destination: the exploration of the truth of the world."

Martial artist: "Aleister Crowley's contribution to Academy City is one and only: Personal Reality Technology, the technology for developing supernatural powers. And what is the source of this technology? It is the Book of Law, a magical tome written by Aleister, which synthesizes all his life's learning. What you will is your law. This is the core of the Book of Law and the foundation of Personal Reality."

The martial artist said, "In other words, every esper is actually a magician. Academy City's scientific researchers have deduced the underlying principles through their study of espers and applied them to scientific research. This is the fundamental reason for Academy City's rapid development."

A martial artist said, "Aleister Crowley is simply using the magic he's accumulated and developed over countless years as nutrient pad for science. With that being the case, it would be strange if Academy City isn't developing faster."

God of Wisdom: "Isn't this a betrayal of the entire magical world?"

Iwanaga Kotoko sensed the problem. Aleister Crowley's actions were a complete betrayal of the magical world. This was bound to cause trouble.

The martial artist said, "Why else do you think he's called the Beast of the Apocalypse? Why was he hunted by the magical world, forced to fake his own death and hide his identity? You have to know that 20% of the magicians in that world are his disciples, and 50% have been influenced by him. He's the one most likely to become a demon god. How could such a person have ended up in such a miserable state if he hadn't committed such a heinous crime?"

Shokuhou Misaki felt helpless. How could she possibly hear such top-secret information for free? She knew things the chairman had tried so hard to conceal. If it were exposed, she would surely be killed without a burial place.

Shokuhou Misaki was thinking about how to keep these secrets and whether to delete them from her memory, but she didn't know that she had already been targeted by Aleister Crowley because of her abnormality.

Aleister Crowley was really curious about how the guy hiding behind the fifth person communicated with the fifth person. Could it be that there really existed someone stronger than the Demon God in this world?

Aleister Crowley was quite confused by this. You know, this was different from before. He was now almost firing on all cylinders, and the fifth one was obviously communicating with the person behind him, but he knew nothing about it.

How was this possible? Even if it was a demon god, Aleister was confident that he wouldn't be unaware of any movement. After all, if he didn't even have this ability, how could he possibly hope to deal with a demon god?

A being stronger than the Demon God? This was completely unknown territory for Aleister Crowley. Although he couldn't be sure, perhaps it was just some strange power, but the possibility of it making him dare not take any action until he understood the situation.

Originally, Aleister Crowley intended to find out whether the fifth person was behind those top-level humans who were only one step away from becoming a demon god, or after becoming a demon god, and then get rid of the fifth person.

After all, he couldn't give anyone the opportunity to threaten his most important trump card, the Divine Forbidden Demon Slayer. However, now, this plan had to be abandoned.

God of Wisdom: "Demon God? What is a demon god? It sounds very powerful."

Martial artist: "As the name suggests, a demon god is a god of magic. They are a special kind of magician who has fully entered the realm of the gods. They fully master magic and, through special rituals, elevate themselves to the divine realm... Demon gods possess infinite power and can subvert all laws. The world shatters at their touch."

Martial artist: "Life will inevitably die, apples will inevitably fall from above, one plus one equals two... These immutable 'laws' of the world can be destroyed, reorganized, and created through the magic recorded in the grimoire. One plus one becomes three, apples will fall from below, and the dead will inevitably be resurrected. Magicians call those who can accomplish this a demon god."

Secretary Fujiwara: "Is it so terrifying? That means he's invincible!"

Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in surprise, the demon god in Toaru Majutsu no Index was so powerful, this was too strange, they were just talking about psychics and magicians before, and they were just wandering around the earth, why did his strength suddenly soar to this level.

The martial artist said, "Is this very powerful? Not so bad! The strength of these demon gods is probably between three and two digits. And because of the method used to achieve demon godhood, they have flaws and are not perfect."

Secretary Fujiwara: "Are double-digit figures that strong? I feel like the Demon God is even stronger!"

The martial artist said: "Qianhua, you should at least pay more attention to your cultivation. If you can master your spiritual power, you won't be so confused about the gap between a demon god and a double-digit figure."

Li Xuan felt helpless. Even though this guy Fujiwara Chika had the power, he couldn't control it. It was a complete waste of the spiritual energy he gave him.

The martial artist said, "The Demon God's descriptions seem exaggerated, but can't a two-digit God King actually do it? How is that possible? Three-digit God Kings have mastered almighty power. Would it be difficult for a two-digit Universal Truth to change the rules of a world like the Demon God did?"

Although due to the omnipotence paradox, the power of three-digit numbers was greatly reduced in the box garden in exchange for the opportunity to advance to two-digit numbers, but this does not mean that three-digit numbers are not omnipotent, let alone two-digit numbers.

As long as the truth of the universe is willing to reside in a certain universe, it wouldn't be difficult for it to arbitrarily modify the world like a demon.

Chapter 686: Awakening Shokuhou Misaki

Li Xuan and Fujiwara Chika were chatting lightheartedly, but Shokuhou Misaki had a completely different perspective. The shock she'd felt from those few conversations had been far greater than the information she'd received about Chairman Aleister Crowley.

The worst that could happen to her was that she could just keep the information about Chairman Aleister Crowley to herself or simply delete her memories of that period. This was not difficult for her as she had the ability to control her mind.

However, Shokuhou Misaki never imagined that her world could even contain such a formidable entity as a demon god. Why? She was not unaware of the existence of magicians. While they were rare in Academy City, the headquarters of the scientific establishment, they did exist.

Shokuhou Misaki had naturally collected some information through her own abilities a long time ago, but she didn't care much about it at that time. After all, at this time when the gears of fate had not yet started to turn, the magicians entering Academy City were just small fish and shrimps, and naturally there was nothing worthy of Shokuhou Misaki's attention.

No matter what, the status of psychics is comparable to that of saints on the magic side. Although it is said that other than the first, second, and seventh psychics, other psychics are no match for saints, at least that is how Academy City promotes it to the magic side.

Shokuhou 28 Misaki felt helpless. Facing this being who could make the world dance in his palms with just a thought, she felt that the real world was illogical and she didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, she has now joined a magical chat group that can connect to other worlds. There should be strong people in this group who can fight against the devil. At least from the tone of the group leader, he does not take the devil seriously.

The martial artist said, "The demon gods themselves are only around three digits strong, but if they were in this world, their strength would soar to double digits, so they actually have some value. Although it's not much."

Although Li Xuan had always complained about the reliance of the spirit system in the box garden world on external forces, the magic system in the magic index world was even more extreme. It was somewhat similar to the way of earthly immortals in the cultivation of immortals, relying heavily on the blessed land of caves and heavens, or even more so.

In the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, the Demon God is an absolute two-digit figure. Even ordinary two-digit figures like Typhon and Krokuen cannot defeat the Demon God. However, after the Demon God leaves the world, his strength is too weak.

Under such circumstances, the demons are completely unable to escape from their own world. After all, most of their power depends on the world itself. It is completely impossible to use the power of the world itself to transcend the world.

In Li Xuan's opinion, the future path of the Demon God should be the same as that of the Earthly Immortals. First, he should constantly strengthen himself and the world, deepen his stake in the world, and only after accumulating enough strength will he transcend in one breath. Instead of thinking about running before learning to walk like now, how is this possible?

It can only be said that the path to becoming a demon god is too drastic, which completely destroyed the will of the demon gods. The power jumped from almost four digits to two digits. The huge increase in power made the demon gods' originally solid foundation full of loopholes, and they almost lost the possibility of going further.

But even so, the power of the demon gods in that world is still real. With so many demon gods gathered in one universe, it is even more dangerous than the box world.

There aren't so many crazy two-digit numbers in the small garden world, especially since these guys don't have very good brains.

In other words, Li Xuan has now achieved diversity and doesn't care much about the so-called demon god. Otherwise, he would not have said so much to Shokuhou Misaki. Otherwise, if Shokuhou Misaki was accidentally exposed, it would be a big trouble.

But now, Li Xuan doesn’t care. Even if the demons rush over, they can’t withstand a single finger of his.

Li Xuan also estimated that Shokuhou Misaki's abnormality should have been exposed to the sight of Aleister Crowley, the sixth brother. After all, the 50 million hovering loop was not given in vain.

The demon god would definitely not pay attention to a tiny human like Shokuhou Misaki, but Aleister Crowley was different.

Although Shokuhou Misaki did not play a big role in his plan, at best she was just a tool to hone her divine forbidden skills and fight demons, she was still much better than an ordinary passerby.

However, since Aleister Crowley did not take action, it means that he has some concerns, so Li Xuan is actually not very worried about Shokuhou Misaki's life safety.

The martial artist said, "Qianhua, if you've read A Certain Magical Index or A Certain Magical Index, you'll know how fragile the demon gods created by this system are. Apart from their power and authority, everything else is quite weak."

After seeing it, Fujiwara Chika also felt that it was a bit too raw.

Secretary Fujiwara: "Although they've been weakened time and time again, their deaths are too hasty! I won't even mention Aleister, but it's really strange that he could be killed by a machine."

The martial artist said, "It can only be said that the demon gods are too biased. Without their demonic powers, their survivability is even worse than that of ordinary gods and demons in many worlds. They lack any immortality or mystery. Many worlds with five-digit gods and demons can return through faith. As long as their information is still circulating in the world, the slightly higher-level ones cannot be completely dead. They will be dead at any time."

But this is not surprising, as the so-called Immortal Body Buddha and the Corpse Transmigration Immortal are not the orthodox paths to the attainment of immortals and Buddhas, so it is not surprising that there are some flaws.

After watching Toaru Majutsu no Index, Shokuhou Misaki felt that she might be the person in the world who possessed the most top-notch intelligence. If others knew about it, it was obvious what would happen to her.

However, after learning about the information about Chairman Aleister Crowley, she knew that this was her situation and she didn't mind taking any more risks.

She also knew all the information about her best friend Dolly. She had only dug up the Absolute Ability Plan so far, but she didn't expect that there was a conspiracy behind it by Chairman Aleister Crowley.

And regarding Kamijou Touma, when she thought of him, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but frown. She should meet him in these few days.

But did she really need to meet him? There was no need! She admitted that Kamijou Touma was a genuinely good person, but she didn't want to be manipulated by Aleister Crowley into meeting him, like the third person, who was the chairman's tool to hone Kamijou Touma.

Because she hasn't met Kamijou Touma yet, Shokuhou Misaki can think about problems in a more objective manner.

For Chairman Aleister Crowley, the entire Academy City was built for Imagine Slayer Kamijou Touma. Everyone around him was, without exception, part of Aleister's plan. His encounter with Kamijou Touma was no accident; it was definitely part of the Chairman's plan.

Chapter 687: The Last Newcomer

This kind of being manipulated is totally unacceptable to Shokuhou Misaki. What's the difference between what Chairman Aleister Crowley did and what she hated the most, which was to use mental control without regard for other people's will?

So Aleister Crowley could only say to Kamijou Touma, you are a good person.

Despite this thought, Shokuhou Misaki knew she was powerless to resist the Chairman's manipulation, let alone the demonic gods who held sway over the heavens. Faced with these terrifying beings, her only hope lay in the enigmatic chat group she had just encountered.

Valkyrie: "It is indeed very strange. Logically speaking, such a terrifying and powerful god should not die so easily. He is too fragile! Even the main god of our mythology would not be killed so easily."

The third newcomer, who had been quietly lurking, was also blown away by the demon's power and fragility. She couldn't understand how a god so many times more powerful than her main god, Odin, could die so easily.

The martial artist said: "I can only say that the hidden dangers of learning too quickly are too great. This system is too extreme. When you possess the power of the devil, you are invincible. But once the power of the devil disappears, you are just a piece of cake. It's a bit too much to say, but there is not much difference."

Shokuhou Misaki: "Master, can you handle the demon god?"

Shokuhou Misaki asked anxiously. Li Xuan was her only hope. Apart from that, she couldn't find any other way to deal with the threat from the chairman and the demon god.

Although the demon god was almost devalued by Li Xuan, for Shokuhou Misaki, the demon god was simply impossible to deal with, and even the unimaginable ultimate BOSS. Not to mention her, even Kamijou Touma, who possessed the Imagine Breaker, as the protagonist, could not deal with any demon god, let alone her, a supporting character who was not much better than a passerby.

The martial artist said: "Isn't it simple for the Demon God? To me, there is not much difference between the Demon God and you."

The martial artist said, "But you don't need to worry about them! After all, they've been hiding in seclusion and generally don't come out, let alone notice a mere psychic like you. I think you should first worry about whether Aleister Crowley has noticed anything unusual about you!"

Honestly, Li Xuan felt that Shokuhou Misaki was overwhelmed by the demon's immense power, causing her to become a bit unhinged. However, this was perfectly normal; anyone who knew their existence depended solely on the thoughts of others would feel panicked and dazed.

After Li Xuan's reminder, Shokuhou Misaki also realized her abnormality, so she took out the remote control to give herself psychological hints to calm herself down.

Once her emotions settled, her clever brain took over. Almost instantly, Shokuhou Misaki realized the key problem.

That was because Chairman Aleister Crowley had deployed over 50 million hovering loops throughout Academy City to serve as his spies. Under these circumstances, her previous unusual behavior had likely exposed her.

Thinking of this, Shokuhou Misaki immediately asked Li Xuan whether her situation had been exposed.

The martial artist said, "Absolutely. There's no doubt about it. You've definitely been targeted by Aleister Crowley. While normally you'd be considered little more than a passerby in his eyes, you're now being led by him to meet Kamijou Touma, the God-Forbidden Demon Slayer. Your every move will be noticed by the hovering loop."

The martial artist said, "He didn't attack you right now because he's unaware of the chat group. He's cautious and must be observing you for a while before making any decisions. For a man who's always failed, this level of caution is necessary."

Shokuhou Misaki: "Then what should I do?"

Although she had suspected that the chairman had set his sights on her, Li Xuan's confirmation still made her shudder. What kind of person was Aleister Crowley? From the Academy City he built, it was clear that he was a guy who would do anything to achieve his goals.

When she thought about being targeted by such a person, Shokuhou Misaki felt that even though she had just been given a psychological hint, she couldn't bear it anymore.

The martial artist said, "How about this! Let's wait for that newcomer to introduce herself. If she's alright, I'll go to your world and let Aleister Crowley know that you have the chat group and me behind you. That way, he won't act rashly."

The martial artist: "So, didn't you just show up as the last newcomer? Introduce yourself."

Brunhilde: "Okay, group leader. I'm Brunhilde, a Valkyrie from Norse mythology."

The martial artist: "Brunhildr? Could you please give us a more detailed account of the major events happening in your world?"

Just the name Brunhilde is not enough to let Li Xuan know which world the newcomer comes from. After all, the name Brunhilde has corresponding characters in many worlds.

Brunhilde: "In our world, a gathering is held every 1000 years. The gods from all over the world gather together in heaven to hold a meeting of the creators. During this meeting, I heard that the gods want to completely destroy the human race of this era. This is probably the biggest thing happening in my world recently."

Secretary Fujiwara: "Why do you always want to destroy the world? What's wrong with the world? Or what's wrong with humanity that it has to be destroyed?"

Although there are many stories in myths and legends about gods choosing to destroy humanity, hearing another one still left Fujiwara Chika speechless.

God of Wisdom: "Is there no god who objects?"

(Li Hao) Iwanaga Kotoko was puzzled. Since it was a meeting of all the gods, wouldn't there be a god who raised any objection?

Brunhilde: "As far as I know, there is none on the surface, and even if there is, it is not much and does not occupy the mainstream."

The martial artist said, "I remember now. This is the world. The Valkyrie of the End tells the story of a group of strange gods and humans who are divided into thirteen one-on-one matches. The winner will decide whether humanity will perish or not."

Li Xuan doesn't know much about this world, because these gods are too weak. I don't know if it's because of performance problems or something else, all the battles are close combat. To be honest, Li Xuan feels inferior to Baki. If Yujiro comes, he will kill them all.

While the actual situation wasn't that weak, it wasn't much better either. Not to mention compared to the gods of the Earthly World who had lived for billions of years, it wasn't even as good as the Disobedient Gods of the God Slayer World.

Chapter 688 Brunhilde's Choice

Martial artist: "What can I say about the gods of this world? Their strength and wisdom are nothing to be proud of. They just seem strange to me."

Li Xuan was speechless about this weird world. He felt that it had a kind of martial arts version of the beauty of the ancient times. No matter who it was, it was really too outrageous to focus on hand-to-hand combat.

Li Xuan's words made Brunhildr feel a little embarrassed. Although she had an irreconcilable conflict with the gods because of the destruction of mankind, she was still a little unhappy when she heard the gods of her own world being belittled in such a way.

But she didn't say anything. After all, judging from what the group leader Li Xuan had said before, he must be a god far beyond her imagination. It was right for him to look down on the gods of his own world.

Thinking of this, she gave up her original plan. The thirteen games that Li Xuan mentioned before were exactly what she had been planning for this period of time. However, now that she has a better choice, she no longer needs to use the original desperate plan.

As the eldest sister of the Valkyries, she also didn't want her sisters to fight desperately. What was the point?

Brunhilde: "Master, I hope you can come to our world to stop this meeting."

Martial artist: "Even if this conference turns into Ragnarok! Are you willing to accept it?"

The martial artist said, "I've already told you that I'm not particularly fond of these weird things, so if you ask me to take action, I won't show any mercy. All gods with malicious intent will only end up dead. Of course, if they're gods who are on the side of humanity or are neutral, I won't take action."

Brunhilde: "This?!............"

After Li Xuan said this, Brunhilde couldn't help but hesitate. It was true that she chose to help humans when they were facing extinction, but as a half-human and half-god Valkyrie, it was difficult for Brunhilde to sit idly by and watch the Ragnarok of the Gods happen.

But after thinking about it, she decided to invite Li Xuan. After all, Li Xuan only wanted to kill the gods with malicious intentions, while the gods wanted to destroy all humans regardless of good or evil.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Brunhilde could only choose to cry for the gods. After all, many gods were still able to survive, and that was enough.

The Valkyrie is not afraid of sacrifice, but there is no need to sacrifice herself for these gods who want to destroy the world. Brunhilde finally made a decision.

Brunhilde: "Even so, I would like to invite you to come and stop the gods' decision."
