Accelerator was incredibly strong! After a direct confrontation with Accelerator, Lin Luo deeply understood this fact. But now, facing the cold-faced, silent Accelerator, Lin Luo felt unprecedented pressure, as if he were being stared down by a prehistoric behemoth—a crushing weight descending like Mount Tai!

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his breathing grew labored. This was Accelerator? Was this the real Accelerator?!

In that moment, Lin Luo finally understood: the Accelerator before him now was the strongest Accelerator—icy, hollow, heavy... Compared to his current aura, everything before was insignificant! Beep-beep-beep...

The grating sound echoed ceaselessly in the air. Ever since Accelerator shattered the earth, this noise hadn't stopped, yet even so, Accelerator's abilities were not sealed; violent wind tornados gathered and dispersed, only to reform again. The cracked ground trembled incessantly.

Tracks, gravel, and the nearby shipping containers—everything on the ground seemed to come alive, emitting bursts of low roars. It wasn't that the disruptor had failed; rather, Accelerator's calculation speed had accelerated drastically, making the interfering sound waves almost impossible to keep up with, minimizing their impact. Get out of here!

Get out of here! Get out of here... The instinct for survival screamed wildly, urging Lin Luo to flee from the monster before him!

But... Lin Luo gritted his teeth, raised his foot... Snap!

His step met the ground. Lin Luo did not retreat; instead, he advanced a step forward. He absolutely could not back down here!

Lin Luo knew that if he retreated now, this moment would become a shadow he could never erase, extinguishing his will to fight from that moment forward. Furthermore, all his previous efforts would vanish in this single instant. Mikoto, the Sisters, Buried Body, Yoshikawa, Shirai Kuroko, Uiharu Kazari, Saten Ruiko...

these people had pinned all their hopes on him; how could he possibly retreat now! Defeat Accelerator! Stop the Level 6 experiment!

Let the Sisters live normal lives! Free Mikoto from that damnable restraint! This was his vow, what he must accomplish, so...

how could he retreat now! Lin Luo extended his foot and took another step forward. Crack...

Roar! Just then, a shipping container was flung upward, instantly barreling toward Lin Luo with the momentum of rolling thunder. Lin Luo’s expression shifted.

The immense roar stung his ears. There was no time to dodge; he immediately concentrated all his electricity, and then... Bang!

The container slammed into Lin Luo’s body, sending him flying... Level 4 electricity was utterly incapable of resisting, unable even to induce attraction. The disruptive sound waves instantly vanished from the air, and the wind tornado created by Accelerator finally swept over, engulfing Lin Luo like a giant dragon formed of a storm!

Pain, pain, pain! A tearing agony! The incessantly spinning wind blades cut at his body like knives; beyond the pain, he felt nothing else, his eyes completely unable to open...

If not for the enveloping current, this single wind tornado would have sufficed to tear him apart. Is this how it ends? Truly the tragedy of a supporting character...

Damn it! Even if I must die, I have to stop this experiment at least... Zzzzzzzzt.

The current on his body grew weaker, the electrical net enveloping him on the verge of collapse, signaling the approach of death! "Even just a little bit, a little more power, just a little more power... Please, Sisters!" Lin Luo cried out within the Misaka Network.

He knew the request was excessive; the Sisters were already exerting themselves to the absolute limit, channeling all their processing power toward him without reservation. Some of the Misaka Sisters' computations were even exceeding their own structural capacity... But he had no other choice.

Insufficient calculation power meant he couldn't withstand Accelerator's attacks, couldn't get close enough to strike him, and couldn't defeat him! Calculation power! Calculation power!

AAAAAAAAH!!!!! To maintain the current electricity, to gain stronger power, Lin Luo frantically drained his own life force. The life-force points required per minute in his dormant state were being consumed at two to three times the speed under this current burst...

Lin Luo now had less than two hundred life points remaining. Excluding the forty points necessary to avoid the weakened state, he could only use one hundred fifty. At his current explosive rate, he likely couldn't last even five minutes, but...

Even this manic burst was not enough! The accumulated electricity continued to wane under the sadism of the wind tornado... Despair enveloped Lin Luo deeply.

"Lin... Luo..." Just then, a voice drifted from the Misaka Network. Who?

Lin Luo was instantly stunned. Although the voice was the same as the Misaka Sisters', the tone was distinctly different. "It's me...

Misaka... Misaka..." How is this possible? Lin Luo felt immense disbelief surging in his heart.

The original body had awakened, and had entered the Misaka Network—this... "Lin Luo, I... thank you.

You... saved me. And now...

you are fighting so desperately for all the Misakas..." It seemed that due to not being fully recovered, the voice of 00000 sounded somewhat weak. Lin Luo offered a bitter smile in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save the Sisters; instead, he was causing them to suffer alongside him.

This... was hardly worth thanking him for. "No, I can feel it.

Those children... even if they can't express it yet, I believe... they must be incredibly happy right now.

Someone is staking their life to fight for them... staking their life to protect them, and to fight alongside such a person... I believe...

if they could express their feelings, they would definitely... say... thank you to you.

Therefore, to express this gratitude, please allow me... to fight alongside you too!" ...Fight alongside? Because all his attention was focused on condensing his electricity, Lin Luo was momentarily unable to grasp the meaning of 00000's words.

However, he quickly realized: since 00000 could enter the Misaka Network, her calculation power... "Yes, so... please accept my power, let me fight too!" "...I understand.

Then, please lend me your strength!" "Mhm." The next instant, Lin Luo felt an extraordinarily massive wave of calculation power surge into his mind. Then, his consciousness instantly cleared, and the complex calculation formulas that had previously seemed so bewildering suddenly became obvious... Boom!

In the pitch-black night sky, a massive bolt of lightning descended from above, striking the wind tornado with perfect accuracy, causing it to abruptly dissipate. When the violent winds subsided, Lin Luo hung suspended in mid-air, enveloped by an electrical corona as brilliant as the sun, as if clad in a suit of dazzling silver-white armor, utterly blinding to the eye. Accelerator froze.

Extending his hand, Lin Luo pointed toward the heavens. A bolt of electric light shot from his finger, piercing the darkness, and then the entire sky resounded with a booming roar as countless lightning flashes surged and churned overhead. This was Level 5, Thunder God’s Call!

"Accelerator, now let us begin the real battle. Within three minutes... I will finish you!" ...

Simultaneously, inside the Tokiwadai dormitories. Mikoto awoke from her sleep, feeling an inexplicable, intense unease. She turned her gaze toward the window.

In the distance, lightning flashed across the sky! "What is this?" Mikoto murmured, frowning deeply. Requesting votes!
