Main God Creation Rules

Let alone Lin Yi, in a situation where her abilities are unilaterally transparent, any highly capable person who is prepared could easily defeat her.

Undeterred, Misaka Mikoto continued to use various derivative abilities of her electromagnetic powers to attack Lin Yi, who was suspended in mid-air, but all of them failed.

Either the attack range is insufficient, the preparation time is too long, or the attack strength is insufficient to penetrate the repulsive defense layer...

Five minutes later, the superpowered individual, whose face had turned pale from frequent use of his abilities, had no choice but to use his final, ultimate move.

"...Hoo...Hoo...Listen carefully, this is my last piece of advice."

In mid-air, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, noticing the change in the surrounding magnetic field.

At the same time, the electric light that had once disappeared from Misaka Mikoto's surroundings reappeared around her, most frequently near her brain—a manifestation of personal reality evolved from consciousness, which in a sense can also be seen as an extension of thought.

Centered on the area where this superpowered individual was located, a large amount of electromagnetic energy originating from their personal reality was frantically disrupting the stable magnetic field around them. Affected by this, the night sky was quickly obscured by a large number of dark clouds, which then spun and collided wildly.

This scene bears over 90% similarity to the "Thunder Spirit Technique" within the spiritual energy system I once mastered. And according to the operating principles of the "Thunder Spirit Technique," what follows should be...

"Get out of the way right now if you don't want to die!"

After shouting that sentence, the genuine "chuunibyou girl" did the same thing as the "chuunibyou boys" in the other world—a move that was full of incomprehensible meaning but felt quite incredible. The only difference was that the latter would only make people feel embarrassed, while the former would make people feel shocked...

"Let me show you what real lightning strikes are like!"

Above the city, a deafening roar and a blinding flash robbed everything below of light...

A few seconds later, the lingering burning light in front of his retina slowly dissipated, and there seemed to be a crackling sound of electricity in the air. Smelling the faint scent of oxygen ions at the tip of his nose, the pale-faced Railgun relaxed all his strength and gasped for breath.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Such a high-intensity battle has not occurred since she became No. 3 in Academy City. Either the opponent is too weak and the battle ends in an instant, or the opponent is too strong and using such a technique is meaningless.

"Ahem, well, let's end it here."

Thinking of those "Misaka Sisters," beneath their exhausted bodies lay hearts that were gradually leaping with joy: "See? Big sister succeeded. We'll never let that happen again."

"crash"

"……Eh?"

The object that fell in front of her startled Misaka Mikoto.

"Chains?"

As if struck by a thought, when the superhuman suddenly looked up, what came into view was a figure gently discarding the iron chain.

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 574 Singularity Reversal (14)

According to the information gathered by the transmigrators, "True Lightning Strike," the ultimate attack of Academy City's No. 3 "Railgun," is an attack that generates lightning between the clouds and the ground by gathering thunderclouds. The maximum output voltage in its overturned state also reaches one billion volts. It can be said that any life form born under normal ecological conditions would be unable to survive being hit by such a voltage, and even Lin Yi's "Information Body" would collapse under the high-energy impact.

However, no matter how terrifying this skill is, or how powerful the voltage it generates, it cannot change one reality.

It is simply a manifestation of lightning strikes, a basic electromagnetic phenomenon.

Of all the technologies that humans can access, electromagnetism is probably the one we are most familiar with and have mastered the most thoroughly, at least compared to other fundamental forces.

Within the technological tree built by humankind, there exists a method that is as simple as it gets for combating high voltage.

—Faraday cage.

In 1836, Faraday discovered that excess charge on a charged conductor exists only on its surface and has no effect on any object enclosed within it.

To prove this fact, he constructed a room encased in a metal foil shell and used a high-voltage electric current to shock the shell with an electrostatic generator. An electroscope showed no excess charge inside the room. The metal shell of the room acted as a "protector" of its interior, completely shielding it from changes in the external electric field. This is the Faraday cage effect.

An ideal Faraday cage consists of an unbroken, perfectly conductive layer. This ideal state is unattainable in reality, but it can be achievable by using a fine-mesh copper sieve. For optimal performance, the Faraday cage should be directly grounded.

Of course, given Lin Yi's condition at the time, he was unable to construct an ideal Faraday cage; he simply did two things when the "lightning" struck.

First, a repulsive field with a radius of 599.99 cm is constructed with itself as the center; then, a gravitational field with a radius of 600.00 cm is constructed with itself as the center. The result is that a substance with a radius of 600 cm is squeezed onto a "circular surface" with a thickness of 0.01 cm.

Second, the pre-prepared iron chain was fixed to the "circular surface" by "gravity", with one end directly in contact with the ground.

Then do nothing and wait for the billion-volt electric shock to arrive.

……

……

……

"Looks like you weren't lying to me."

Looking down at the dumbfounded ability users below, Lin Yi smiled after deciphering the gravitational and repulsive fields that formed the "circle": "There is indeed no such course in the second year of middle school."

After that, everything went smoothly. Facing an opponent who was already exhausted, Lin Yi only paid less than one-tenth of his ability strength to knock her unconscious and obtain the data needed by the "tree diagram designer". The superpowered person who was in a daze had no strength left to stop Lin Yi's "tyranny" and just lay on the ground waiting for the ITEM team to retrieve her.

After completing the necessary data collection, Lin Yi had no intention of lingering in the Seventh School District and headed directly towards another destination.

Shortly after Lin Yi left, several figures appeared around. One of them noticed the psychic lying on the ground and cried out in alarm. He then teleported directly to Misaka Mikoto's vicinity.

"sister!"

He immediately pressed his hand against Misaka Mikoto's chest to make sure her heart was still beating, then breathed a sigh of relief, replaced by confusion: "What happened? Why is Onee-sama here...?"

At this moment, the others approached and said, "Looks like we're a step too late."

Examining the surrounding traces, Reki noticed the presence of the iron chain and seemed to realize something: "'Mental Control' didn't deceive us. If I'm not mistaken, 'Singularity Reversal' fought your sister here before leaving."

"Hey, you mean Kuroko's sister lost to that... what's-his-name ability user?!"

Ignoring Shirai Kuroko's attitude, the blue-haired girl said in a flat tone, "Leave as soon as you've confirmed her safety. Miss Uiharu can't block the surveillance network in this area for long."

"Wait, where is my older sister?"

"...Do you think the Council would allow a superpowered individual who has come into contact with 'Singularity Reversal' to simply disappear?"

Recalling the predicament of the Tokiwadai Queen she had previously encountered, surrounded by various surveillance systems and forced to secretly pass information to her group, Shirai Kuroko had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​taking Misaka Mikoto away. After all, doing so would only attract the attention of the Board of Directors and the Ability Research Institute, which would be of no use. However, she was also worried about leaving her like this...

Perhaps sensing Shirai Kuroko's feelings, her companion, Kofune Miwa, comforted her, saying, "It's alright, Kuroko. Misaka is the No. 3 in Academy City. Even if the Board of Directors is ruthless, they won't easily do anything to her."

"At most, they'll just be like Misaki Shokuhou, strictly monitoring and prohibiting the leakage of information about the 'singularity reversal.' Others shouldn't have any problems."

"...I understand. Please wait for me, Big Sister. I'll definitely come back to be with you after Kuroko takes care of that bastard!"

After a brief exchange, the group quickly left.

Half a minute later.

"...A bunch of slowpokes who don't even realize they're being followed."

As a complaining voice rang out, a human-shaped silhouette rose from the empty ground. Looking at the still unconscious Misaka Mikoto, it clicked its tongue and said, "The No.3 of Academy City can fight without hesitation. No wonder he has a double S-rank rating. If he waits until he develops to the later stages, he can probably flatten the entire Earth, let alone Academy City."

"He also paid a heavy price."

Another voice appeared in the darkness: "Being in conflict with the 'female protagonist' will at least reduce your abilities by half, even if you have the 'plot' to rely on."

"That was in a direct confrontation. Didn't you notice? Our 'genius newcomer' never used her abilities to attack proactively from beginning to end. Even when she knocked out a character in the story, she used her own abilities. In my opinion, she could only reduce his power by a third at most, no more."

"You're so forceful, so you call the shots. What's next?"

The clay figure shrugged: "What else can we do but continue to cover their movements?"

"...I can understand getting the Disciplinary Committee involved, since they are supposed to be adversaries in the 'plot,' but why drag the two Mioba Yulinjiu into it along with the Armed Detectives?"

Glancing into the distance, the clay figure asked in a subtle tone, "You really want to know?"

"of course."

"I have uterine cancer."

"..."

"..."

"...Let's go, cover them."

P.S.: I've been reading through Wu Ke's books these past couple of days, and I have a bold idea.

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 575 Singularity Reversal (15)

"The Absolute Ability User Project?"

Yes, the main figure behind the plan is a superpowered individual called 'Singularity Reversal,' and I had contact with that guy once.

"Lost?"

Although it is a question, it is expressed in an affirmative tone.

The mage on the other side fell into an awkward silence, then replied in a helpless tone.

Yes, it was a crushing defeat. If it weren't for meeting another interesting little guy, we probably wouldn't be back now.

An interesting guy?

The girl carrying the long sword was somewhat curious, after all, in her impression, the magician who was talking to her was "strange" enough in every sense.

However, now is not the time to think about this.

"Can we confirm that the 'Index of Forbidden Books' is related to the 'Ability Power Project'?"

[According to those inexplicably appearing 'enthusiastic individuals,' it is relevant.]

A faint crackling sound of flames igniting came from the other end of the call.

[Phew... The last location where 'Index Toxic' appeared overlaps with 'Singularity Reversal'. Compared to wandering around this city knowing nothing, this clue is the most direct breakthrough.]

He paused slightly in his speech.

As you know, the 'Index of Forbidden Books' doesn't have much time left.

"We don't have time either."

The girl, carrying a long sword that seemed out of place in her surroundings, turned and left, interrupting the conversation. Strangely, those around her seemed oblivious to this "outcast"...

---------------segmentation--------------

From the perspective of traditional psychology, all the ability users in Academy City should be classified into the same category: mental patients.

So-called personal reality is essentially a subjective phenomenon that manifests itself in a way that is incompatible with, or even in opposition to, objective phenomena.

Perhaps a more accurate description would be in another academic term: delusional disorder.

However, unlike typical hypochondria, the "hypochondriacs" in this world are able to directly project their "hypochondrial phenomena," that is, their personal reality, onto objective reality. Therefore, instead of being confined to mental hospitals, they have become a much scarcer "resource" than the vast majority of normal people.

Therefore, the more powerful the ability, the more severe the "illness" suffered by the user, and naturally, the more likely they are to fall into another abnormal mental state.

Based on the few Level 5 ability users Lin Yi has encountered so far, Railgun exhibits "belligerence," Mind Control exhibits "arrogance," and Atomic Collapse, belonging to the Dark Side, is "violent"...

"So, what I'm doing now is considered 'treating the illness'?"

A gravitational force directly "pulled" the ability user who was trying to escape from a distance to a height of more than five meters before slamming him to the ground. Feeling the forced reduction in the strength of his ability, Lin Yi seemed to understand something.

【That’s it. 】

In exchange for 1.5 seconds and 0.31% of his ability strength, he obtained another set of "experimental data." Just as Lin Yi was about to find the next target by following the route of the tree diagram designer, the voice of his "attending physician"—Kiyama Haruo—came from his communicator.

[Collecting combat data on LV3 ability users is no longer of much value; let's focus on LV4 and LV5 ability users.]

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "According to the theories of tree diagram designers, isn't more data always better?"

[...Theoretically, that's true, but you also need to consider our follow-up procedures.]

Shifting my gaze slightly backward, I saw that the temporarily sealed-off "testing ground" was already in ruins due to the collision of abilities. It was only because the personnel had been evacuated in advance that I realized that such a "terrorist attack" in a modern city would have become "big news" long ago.

[It wasn't just a few LV5s; even the LV4 and LV3 ability users noticed the anomaly. We can accept exchanging them as the 'price' for an absolute ability user, but that doesn't mean they'll willingly become the 'price' and be consumed.]

"so?"

Perhaps disgusted by Lin Yi's "asking the obvious," Kiyama Haruo's tone became impatient.

We'll try to concentrate Level 4 ability users; your job is to gather the 'data' before they become aware of this plan.

Lin Yi neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Where are the people you were asked to investigate?"

[Matters concerning the Transmigrators' Alliance are outside the research institute's authority. We can only provide peripheral intelligence; for more detailed information, you'll need to contact the 'core personnel' yourself.]

Although the cooperation was only superficial, it clearly did not prevent Lin Yi from using the power of Academy City to conduct some small investigations for himself.

The Transmigrators Alliance.

It's hard to believe that a neutral third-party organization, whose exact time of appearance, capabilities, and purpose are unknown, could appear openly within Academy City, especially since it doesn't fully adhere to the "science first" principle. However, the reality is that it has not only appeared but also shows a trend of continuous expansion.

Unlike the transmigrators who entered this world, Lin Yi, as the main body of the Absolute Ability User Project, was "forced" to join the forces on the Academy City side. To a large extent, he had already severed ties with the "Transmigrators' Alliance." Otherwise, it would be inexplicable why those transmigrators would disregard the "Transmigrators' Alliance" rules and act recklessly against him, even though Lin Yi possessed two highly rated abilities. In a single city, the abilities of gravity and repulsion are certainly rare, but if you expand it to the scope of the entire Transmigrators' Alliance, they are nothing special. Not to mention gravity and repulsion, even "time" and "space" are not necessarily scarce, yet not many transmigrators dare to take the risk and attack him.
