Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

What was it like back then?

Even though Aleister was standing right in front of him, he couldn't make out his features at all.

Is this person male or female?

Is this person young or old?

Is this person human or a monster?

These perceptions seem to be obscured by a layer of fog, making them impossible to discern.

But now, all of that is gone. Not to mention that Aleister was completely naked in front of him and had been seen through completely.

However, this man could no longer pose a threat to him.

His eyes, his intuition, had already told him this.

"indeed."

"Would Chairman Aleister like to test my mettle?"

Makoto Haramura's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with eager anticipation; his fighting spirit had been ignited.

Aleister stared at Makoto Haramura silently for a long time before slowly speaking.

"forget it."

"Whether or not to take action will be determined after I make my assessment."

Having said that, Aleister continued calmly.

"So, given your confidence in your abilities, could you tell me where you went during those two months you disappeared?"

"So that's the problem after all."

Makoto Haramura was not surprised at all; he simply wore a mocking smile.

"If I refuse to talk about it, will I be immediately labeled as an unstable factor?"

"So, will you choose to take action yourself, or will you let the person next to you do it?"

Instead of answering Aleister's question directly, Makoto Haramura focused his gaze on Aleister's side.

There, immense divine power was fluctuating.

When he last came here, this thing didn't exist; it's probably something Aleister created recently.

Based on the nature of this divine power, it is very likely that it is an angel, something created by relying on Misaka Mikoto.

"Oh?"

Aleister made that sound, but this time it wasn't as calm and collected as before; instead, it carried a hint of ruthlessness.

"Now that you've come to this point, you should know what I'm planning to do."

Makoto Haramura certainly knew.

Or rather, he had guessed it pretty much a long time ago.

In Academy City, there is a so-called AIM diffusion field.

This refers to the faint power that a person with superpowers unconsciously emits to their surroundings, much like how humans also emit a certain amount of heat. However, this emission is extremely weak and cannot be detected without sophisticated machinery.

So what Aleister wants to do is quite simple.

"By scattering the sisters all over the world, we can expand the AIM diffusion field that exists in Academy City to the whole world, and finally achieve the result of covering the whole world with the AIM diffusion field."

Makoto Haramura turned his gaze to Aleister and spoke softly.

"At that time, you can use the AIM diffusion field to create an artificial heaven, causing all the people who use magic in this realm to self-destruct. The temples or sanctuaries supported by the power of magic will also lose their power and collapse. The same phenomenon will occur in every religion, thus eliminating all magic in the world in one fell swoop."

"Most importantly, you can use Misaka's AIM diffusion field to stabilize the guy next to you and control this artificial angel."

“Am I right, Chairman Aleister?”

"—"

An indescribable silence permeated this completely enclosed world where there was no way to find an entrance.

Accompanying it was an equally indescribable sense of oppression.

The moment Haramura Makoto finished speaking, Aleister fell silent.

This space felt like a dead sea, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

In such an environment, anyone would be unable to move, or even lose consciousness.

Only Makoto Haramura quietly watched Aleister, who was floating in the medicinal liquid, without any change in his expression.

—"The Celestial Realm"!

This is a world that actually exists within this worldview.

Like the celestial realm in many myths, this is not another world in the sky as people perceive it.

It should be said that it is fortunate that the celestial realm exists, otherwise those demons and gods cannot do much to this world.

Otherwise, if a demon god who could arbitrarily alter the laws of physics could destroy the world, he would have already wreaked havoc on this world.

Therefore, God truly exists in this world.

As messengers of God, that is, angels as recorded in the Bible, they also exist in this world, but people cannot see them.

Aleister's goal is to create such a world on Earth.

Using the AIM diffusion field as a medium, the range of the AIM diffusion field can be extended to the whole world, ultimately forming an artificial celestial realm.

Under the influence of such an artificial celestial realm, the power of magic will collapse.

The artificial angels he creates will also gain maximum range of movement and stability.

"What you really want me to confirm is my opinion on magic."

"Won't I betray you halfway through and threaten your plans, Chairman Aleister?"

Makoto Haramura's remarks silenced Aleister once again.

A moment later, Ares actually laughed.

Like the purest angel, and like the most wicked demon.

"Since we've already come this far, I wonder if you could clear up my doubts?"

Aleister asked with utmost calmness:

"What are your thoughts on my plan?"

When Aleister asked him about it, Makoto Haramura's answer was also very bland.

"If you're asking for my opinion, then I can answer you: it's not bad."

"However, if you ask me whether I agree with your approach, my answer is also: I utterly despise it."

With a single sentence, the suppressed silence was instantly shattered.

Even Aleister was completely baffled, not expecting Makoto Haramura's answer, so questions arose again.

What do you mean by that?

Instead of answering Aleister's question, Makoto Haramura reached out and created a gap in space in front of him, from which he took out a chair, a table, and a tea set.

Immediately afterwards, Makoto Haramura leisurely used his abilities to heat the water and brew himself a delicious cup of black tea.

"Sorry for the waitting."

Almost ten minutes had passed while waiting for Makoto Haramura to have everything ready.

"nothing."

Aleister replied just as calmly.

"The thing I have plenty of is time."

"Wait a little while, it's fine."

"Besides, judging from your expression, this explanation will probably take a long time, so it's worth waiting for that period of time."

Just as Aleister said, he cannot live forever, but existing in this device, his godhood can be extended to about 1,700 years. Ten minutes is nothing compared to 1,700 years.

"Ah."

Makoto Haramura picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"It is indeed quite long."

"Let me think about where to begin."

Place the teacup back on the table.

"As expected, I must start with my origins."

Chapter 358 Checking the Post

"interesting."

Three cups of tea had been drunk from the pot, and about half an hour had passed before this not-too-long, not-too-short narration came to an end.

Aleister provided the following account of what Makoto Haramura had just said.

Although his calm, expressionless face gave no indication that he found it amusing.

"This world is indeed vast. I never imagined that the legendary other world actually exists."

"It's really fun."

After some careful selection, Makoto Haramura shared the information he had and could share with Aleister.

The information that can be shared here naturally includes basic information about sandbox gardens.

Or rather, this is the information that must be made clear, otherwise Aleister would have no way of knowing his intentions.

Only by clearly explaining the problems of the sandbox can Aleister make the right considerations.

Whether it's interesting or not doesn't matter; what matters now is what you really think.

"Do you really want to eradicate the concept of 'magic' from this world?"

Slowly setting down his teacup, Makoto Haramura gazed at the man before him and uttered those words.

The reason he wanted to be honest with Aleister was simple.

Although he never heard any answers from Aleister, Makoto Haramura could roughly guess some things from his past actions: all of Aleister's actions were aimed at the side of destruction magic.

However, this destruction has two causes.

One is the Aleisterian side of destruction magic, who simply wants to stand at the top of this world.

Another reason is that Aleister simply hates the supernatural powers in this world and wants to completely eliminate the concept of 'magic'.

Note: Superpowers are also a type of magic.

If it's the second scenario, Makoto Haramura is confident he can get Aleister to cooperate with him.

After all, if the miniature garden were to encompass this world, it could achieve the same effect.

But if it's the first scenario, then the two of them are destined to be enemies, and neither of them will give way to the other.

Given a 50% chance of anything happening, Makoto Haramura's decision to come here today is simply a gamble.

After a long time.

Aleister, who was on life support, slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes carried an intelligence that could not be found anywhere else in the world.

"Just like in a calculation, you are the biggest variable in the world."

Aleister did not immediately give Haramura Makoto an answer, but instead kept calculating in his mind.

He is now facing a very difficult choice.

This is a really difficult decision.

The reason he wanted to eliminate magic was the second type envisioned by Makoto Haramura.

As for why he chose to eliminate magic, it's quite simple.
