Chapter 430 The Academy City Enters a State of War!
"Let's go."
"I'll take you to see how the other side of this dark side came to an end."
Ning Chuan's gaze was directed towards a distant direction beyond Academy City.
There, a final judgment against the old era is being held.
He didn't give Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko a chance to refuse.
With a flash, he led the three of them, following Esdeath and Kaguya, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
The feeling of space transformation is fleeting.
When Misaka Mikoto and the others could see their surroundings again, they were already outside Academy City, in a huge, makeshift military base filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Followed by.
They then witnessed a scene that they would never forget, a scene that would completely overturn their worldview.
On the enormous open space inside the base, thousands of people dressed in all sorts of strange costumes were imprisoned.
Each of them exudes an energy aura that is completely different from superpowers, yet equally powerful and eerie.
They saw an old man dressed in a magnificent golden robe, wearing a triple crown, and with a deathly pale face; he was the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
They saw the commander of the knights, who was holding a huge cross and wearing knight's armor.
They saw exorcists dressed in black priest robes, Onmyoji dressed as shrine maidens, and all sorts of "magicians" who only existed in fantasy stories.
These top experts from the world's major religions and three major magical societies are now like the most lowly prisoners.
They were completely imprisoned by an unknown force.
One by one, they knelt on the cold ground, dejected.
Around them, squads of expressionless Seraph warriors clad in silver-white armor, wielding energy weapons they couldn't comprehend, stood guard over them.
The entire base was completely silent.
Only the wind blows across this sea of despairing prisoners.
Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and Last Order were utterly stunned.
Their minds were blank.
magic?
pope?
Magician?
These things that only exist in movies and games are actually... real?
Moreover, look at the current situation.
It seems that all the magicians in the world have been... wiped out in one fell swoop?
"This... what on earth is this..."
Misaka Mikoto's voice trembled slightly with extreme shock.
Looking at the utterly shocked expressions on the faces of the three people.
A relaxed smile appeared on Ning Chuan's face.
He turned to Misaka Mikoto and explained:
"see it?"
"These are the other part of the dark side of this world, the magical side."
"Now, the only people in this world with extraordinary abilities are your Academy City, this last isolated island."
These words made Misaka Mikoto's heart skip a beat.
She had a very bad feeling.
Ning Chuan paused, then continued in an unquestionable tone, as if announcing the final outcome:
"My vacation is almost over."
"As a final entertainment."
"Let you see for yourselves how Academy City integrates into the world you just visited."
"Integrate...integrate?!"
Misaka Mikoto exclaimed in surprise.
She couldn't understand the meaning of that sentence at all.
However, Ning Chuan did not give her another chance to explain.
His words had barely left his mouth.
He then raised his hand directly towards the vast Academy City in the distance, which loomed like a behemoth on the horizon.
Gently, with a flick of the wrist.
This action was done casually.
It was as if the switch to end the world had been flipped.
next second.
The entire earth began to tremble violently, like the sky was about to collapse!
Rumble——!
Huge cracks spread wildly in all directions from Academy City as its center!
The entire city seemed to be forcibly and savagely uprooted from the earth's tectonic plates by an invisible, divine hand!
In the city, countless buildings shook violently.
The piercing alarm sounded in every corner of the city.
Countless students rushed out of the teaching buildings and dormitories in a panic.
They stared at the scene below, which resembled an earthquake, their faces filled with fear and bewilderment.
This massive tremor, powerful enough to destroy the world, made it impossible for any hidden powerhouses within Academy City to remain calm.
Inside a special hospital ward.
Accelerator, who had been severely injured by Ning Chuan and whose body was wrapped in bandages, suddenly sat up in bed.
He felt the immense, unreasonable force acting on the entire city, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"That bastard... what is he trying to do?!"
Dragging his still-healing body, he struggled to his feet, smashed a window with a punch, and jumped directly from the dozens of stories high.
School District 7.
Inside a dark research facility.
Level 5, ranked fourth in Academy City, "Atomic Collapse" Mugino Shizuri looked at the apocalyptic scene on the monitor screen and a maniacal smile appeared on his face.
"Fun! This is really fun! Finally, something interesting to do!"
In the dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School.
Misaki Shokuhou, ranked fifth with "Mental Mastery," looked out the window with a solemn expression.
Her countless "factional" members, under her orders, have begun evacuating ordinary students from the surrounding area.
Several other mysterious Level 5 ability users also appeared from their respective territories.
They looked in surprise and disbelief at the source of the tremor.
They all sensed a terrifying force, far superior to their own and belonging to another world, descending upon them.
Just when everyone was gripped by panic and chaos because of this apocalyptic scene.
A cold, emotionless voice, sounding like it was synthesized mechanically.
Through all the speakers, all the television screens, and everyone's cell phone within Academy City.
At the same time, it sounded.
That was the voice of Aleister Crowley, the de facto ruler of Academy City and the chairman of the board of directors.
That mysterious man who has always been hiding behind the scenes, manipulating everything.
For the first time, he finally spoke his mind in front of everyone.
"Issue the highest level of emergency declaration to all teachers, students, security personnel, disciplinary committee members, and all ability users in Academy City."
"An intrusion of the highest threat level from the 'external' has been detected."
"From this moment forward, Academy City officially enters..."
"State of war!"
