Chapter 179 - Chapter 157: The Multiversal Magical Index! The Long Stairway to Godhood!

『 "You trash Magic Gods clinging to the surface, don't think you can defeat him easily! The days of being toyed with by Magic Gods because of a lack of understanding of magic are over, desu!"

"I will bestow upon you the necessary knowledge; we will surely fill in the gaps-desu," Qliphah said with fanatical eyes, looking at Accelerator as if filled with radiance.

The void trembled. A third tree, no less grand than the Tree of Life or the Tree of Evil, pierced through the vast galaxy. The very end of the galaxy shook violently due to the appearance of this third tree.

"I am the Demon, a shadow without a flesh-and-blood body, but I can do more than just protect the power hidden within the Tree of Evil. I can also grant the power of the abyss to those who cross the obstacles hindering practitioners from climbing the Tree of Life-desu!"

Accelerator seemed to see something unbelievable. The scenery before him turned dim, and the smell of blood became stronger.

An extreme tearing sensation threatened to shatter his body along with his soul. His proud supercomputer brain was currently transmitting this extreme pain frantically.

But he didn't care!

If this pain was necessary, then what if he accepted all of it?!

Finally, he saw it—

Not just another world crossing overlapping phases; the Tree of Life and the Tree of Evil stood on opposite sides of the world. One nurtured the human heart and purified the soul, while the other incited chaos and guided the abyss.

But this time it was different. It was neither of the two trees!

Qliphah's voice echoed in his ears, "I am the created Demon. My essence is that of a guide. Looking at the hidden barrier not contained within the ten, I lurk there, simultaneously granting the power of the abyss to those truly qualified-desu!"

The invisible third tree, a massive information body connected by electromagnetic waves—this was a new tree created by human hands, existing in no legend or myth!

There is no good or evil in the Artificial God Tree!

"I will become the guide for this sapling. Those rejected by the abyss, step back! Watch as I and the master I have chosen cross that line! WE WILL REACH THE REALM ABOVE THE CROWN!!!"

Golden wings fluttered slowly up and down. Accelerator was shrouded in brilliant light, looking like a god.

Those vibrant wings, rivaling the Saint Guardian Angel Aiwass, seemed to make the world's scenery fade into the past. 』

『 .....』

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜

The little hearts in the eyes of the yet-to-be-summoned Qliphah could no longer be hidden!

Accelerator-SAMA IS TOO COOL!!!

For some reason, I just really want to hype him up!

Let those trash Magic Gods clinging to the surface get a good look at the power that transcends the abyss!

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

The first combination of Esper powers and magic, and can it reach this level?

Although everyone doesn't know what level of strength Accelerator currently has, it seems completely on par with the second-tier Magic Gods, right?

Is this the ultimate product of the fusion of technology and magic?

『 Accelerator waved his hand, and the air emitted a violent shriek. Space began to shatter, and invisible vectors frantically gathered. Horrifying arrows of unimaginable terror gradually manifested in mid-air.

At this moment, Nephthys finally changed her expression. She no longer possessed her previous composure and calmness.

Accompanied by a violent tremor, the vector arrows streaked through space, and wherever they passed, space began to shatter layer by layer!

With a boom, a vector arrow grazed Nephthys's ear. A strand of white hair and blood slid down, and the Magic God's tears couldn't help but fall.

"…Woo…wooo!", feeling that this strike would truly bring unprecedented fatal damage, Nephthys couldn't help but squat on the ground and cry loudly.

She was originally formed from the collection of thousands of servants buried in the pyramid to accompany the king in death.

In Egyptian mythology, she was a deity created around the weeping women who were paid to attend funerals. Nephthys's tear ducts were fragile to the extreme.

Accelerator looked at the Magic God, who had completely lost the ability to fight, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Niang-Niang arrived at the core and met Coronzon.

But before Niang-Niang could speak, Coronzon scolded loudly, because Aleister was the culprit behind everything!

He should have died long ago, yet he had lingered on until now!

"If you had followed natural rules and been buried, the world wouldn't have become like this," Coronzon sneered.

And She! Would destroy everything: humans, magicians, the Tree of Life, the Tree of Evil, and even Herself!

Wipe away all traces of this world, and then hand it over to the next generation of life to take over.

"Nonsense!" Niang-Niang retorted angrily, but Coronzon did not stop. Her attack was aimed directly at Lilith, but fortunately, it was blocked by Mina.

However, Coronzon burst forth with even more terrifying radiance. She reached out and condensed a strike that pierced the stars. The terrifying offensive caused Aleister's body to shatter, but at the critical moment, Lilith blocked this attack!

"Coronzon, is this really what you want? Your companions are calling you," Lilith's childish voice echoed.

As an existence of the world, Lilith would lose a portion of herself every time she used her power. Coronzon told Lilith not to interfere.

Because this was a duel between her and Aleister!

The moment the words fell, Niang-Niang had already arrived behind Coronzon and then used all her strength to weaken Coronzon!

Coronzon's aura gradually weakened. Aleister had just breathed a sigh of relief when, the next moment, her chest was violently pierced by a sharp weapon!

Aleister showed an expression of disbelief, while Coronzon smiled and explained. If it were an ordinary Demon, perhaps they would really be eliminated.

But she was the only one who possessed a physical body. It was this flesh that stabilized her soul~

She relied on her physical body to withstand Niang-Niang's weakening, and even Lilith's magic attacks were useless, as the others' miracles could only shake intangible things.

But she was different!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA….?!!", Coronzon suddenly frowned, and then her expression became terrified. 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

What a face-turn~!

The smile did not disappear; it just transferred from Coronzon's face to the faces of everyone in the Myriad Worlds.

This time, she really messed up, Coronzon. Being dragged into the abyss by his own creation—this might be more painful than death, right?

However, regarding Coronzon's wish, everyone did not mock him.

"Wipe away all traces of this world, and then hand it over to the next generation of life to take over."

It seems Coronzon was also completely disappointed with the humans of this world.

No wonder she was fighting Aleister so fiercely; one thought humans were trash, and the other thought everyone was a star.

It would be strange if such two people could get along.

.....

『 Coronzon's expression was twisted in pain. She looked at Lilith in a panic, but Lilith shook her head, "It wasn't me, you should be able to sense it, right?"

That's right, it wasn't Lilith, nor was it Aleister, but Kamijou Touma, who was fighting the Magic Gods!

After opening the third tree, Qliphah directly used this ability to disperse Coronzon's body and soul!

Coronzon's body fell, but her soul was still there, and at this time, Touma and the others had also arrived.

Dion Fortune waved her hand to expand a domain to destroy Coronzon's magic circle, and Coronzon, who had been running around frantically just a moment ago, saw this scene and laughed.

As if relieved, she looked at Dion Fortune. Fate is truly wonderful and sad.

He was ultimately backlashed by the things she created. Whether it was Qliphah or Dion Fortune, they were products she created, but he was defeated by these two guys.

As Touma stepped forward, Coronzon was defeated, and the battle was completely over. But at this moment, the fighting was still not over!

Aleister-chan's stern gaze turned to Dion Fortune, Mina, and the others. As long as these few people were killed, the traces of the Golden Dawn would completely disappear!

And Anna stopped pretending. The figure of Aiwass emerged from behind her, and Aleister also realized that the two had been in contact in secret long ago.

"Don't worry, Aleister, we are not interested in those remnants of the Golden Dawn," Aiwass explained lightly.

Just as She was about to say something, the golden wings in the sky stirred up terrifying energy. Aiwass and Anna frowned at the same time and then left the place without much hesitation.

"Do you want revenge?" Accelerator came to the side of the heavily wounded and dying Aleister and asked indifferently.

No, Aleister-chan shook her head.

She praised in a light and lovely tone, "You succeeded, Number One. The world you are in is a world I cannot reach. Kill me now."

"…In the end, is that all you can say?" Accelerator sneered.

Clearly, he hated the person in front of him to the bone, but when the other party asked to be killed, Accelerator couldn't bring himself to do it, or rather, didn't know how to do it.

"If you don't feel fear, then there's no point," Accelerator looked at Aleister coldly.

"Is that so…" Aleister-chan was thoughtful, but soon looked at Accelerator with a smile, "Speaking of which, can I entrust my daughter to you?"

"Forget it, let Mina do it, after all, you are still just a student," Aleister-chan shook her head, and then she looked at Accelerator with anticipation.

"The rest is up to you. Danger will come one after another in the near future," Aleister-chan trembled, handed his phone to the other party, and told Accelerator to create an ideal world!

"If you hate adults, then build an ideal world with your own hands. I have handed over all the rights of the Board Chairman to you."

"Go create an Academy City that makes people happy." 』

[ Tsukuyomi Komoe (A Certain Magical Index): "Eh? So, is Accelerator-chan going to pay our salaries from now on?" ]

[ Kakine Teitoku (A Certain Magical Index): "?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! That guy Accelerator as Board Chairman??! Then what about me?!" ]

[ Othinus (A Certain Magical Index): "? If I remember correctly, shouldn't you still be a refrigerator that produces Dark Matter?" ]

[ Kamijou Touma (A Certain Magical Index): "That's great, Accelerator is already the Board Chairman. Can I get a 5% discount on eggs in the future?" ]

[ Last Order (A Certain Magical Index): "You can't just practice nepotism! Complaints Misaka as Misaka strictly scolds you. And since Accelerator is the Board Chairman now, he needs to go out and mingle with the masses! You can only be a better Board Chairman if you actually understand the people, explains Misaka as Misaka shares some very important advice. I learned all of this by reading the internet! boasts Misaka as Misaka proudly puts her hands on her hips! ]

[ Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index): "Mingle with the masses? Open Black Wings or White Wings? Or Platinum Wings?" ]

[ Last Order(A Certain Magical Index): "...? Ahhh, that's not what Misaka meant! panics Misaka as Misaka frantically waves her hands!" ]

[ Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Laughing to death. High EQ: Accelerator, I only trust you to be the Board Chairman. Low EQ: I don't want to manage this mess of Academy City for even a day." ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Watching Accelerator become the Board Chairman, everyone felt a bit dumbfounded. They could be sure that Aleister was definitely not dead; it was just that Aleister, in the form of Aleister-chan, didn't want to manage the mess of Academy City at all.

And Accelerator, who was in debt for trillions, happened to be able to act as Aleister's successor.

But that's a story for another time. Now, everyone is looking forward to what rewards will be given to Aleister this time?

.....

Meanwhile, the screen changed—

[ A Certain Magical Index World Ends— ]

[ This video has ended ]

[ Timeline settlement in progress— ]

[ Character settlement in progress— ]

[ Reward settlement in progress— (Note: The maximum reward is for the protagonist of the video, and the reward will be distributed in the most suitable way for the individual) ]

[ ⟦ Aleister Crowley ⟧ ]

[" Ascension to the Long Steps, the ultimate method of transcending the infinite multiverse!"]

[ ⟦ Accelerator ⟧ ]

[" Platinum Wing Abyss Form. "]

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜

Golden light bathed Aleister. The next moment, infinite knowledge flooded in. He widened his eyes. At this moment, whatever ending phases, whatever destruction magic, everything was shattered in his heart.

Tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of his eyes. A sense of indescribable insignificance rose in Aleister's heart.

He saw it. He felt as if he saw the end of everything, as if he saw the endless terminus, as if he saw everything he had pursued his whole life!

THIS IS THE TRUE PATH… THIS IS THE PATH HE SHOULD TRULY WALK!!!

The path to becoming a god in countless multiverses appeared before his eyes just like this. Before those giants, science, magic?

Everything was too small. They were just like frogs in a well, too ridiculous!

Aleister did not notice Aiwass, who was beside him with eyes burning with jealousy. He was immersed in the ocean of the Transcendent Method.

What caught his eyes was—The Vortex-Destroying God!

The entire world shook violently. Countless phases began to shatter, but immediately began to be reborn.

In the Hidden World—

The Magic Gods were horrified and shocked as they watched the scene before them.

The world no longer rejects them…?!

No, it's that the strength of this world has been infinitely magnified. Not just the Earth, the entire universe; the thing that had been pressing on their heads was gone!

Countless Magic Gods were either excited, fearful, or exhilarated!

They touched the rules they could no longer reach, watching the earth-shattering changes in the entire universe. Entertainment, it's all entertainment!

They will no longer be bored!

Meanwhile, the screen changed again—

[ Next up— ]

[ Marvel Cinematic Universe—Deadpool 3 ]

[ Question: Who among the following will become the savior? ]

[ A: Captain America B: Wolverine C: Deadpool D: Thanos ]

[ Only three contestants can get a spot to answer for each question ]

[ Starting to answer now——Ding, Peter Parker, Ryomen Sukuna, Thor Odinson ]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Although there were four options, everyone saw the name Deadpool at first glance.

They had never felt a person's name so vivid. Just by looking at the name, his appearance and voice would emerge before their eyes.

But this time, it shouldn't have anything to do with Deadpool, right? After all, hadn't the footage about Deadpool being the savior already appeared before?

Everyone had this thought in their minds simultaneously.

So does that mean they currently have a one-in-three chance of choosing correctly?

Everyone looked at the names on the screen and fell into contemplation.

.....

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜

[ Loki Odinson (Earth-616): "Hiss, it seems like a glimpse? It feels like things are even more interesting than imagined~" ]

[ Steve Roger (Earth-616): "? Should I say it, friends, isn't the answer already obvious?" ]

[ Thanos (Earth-616): "Is what I'm about to do finally unable to be hidden? Fine, I admit it, I am the savior!" ]

[ Wolverine (Earth-???): "Heh, then I think it's more likely that Deadpool, that jerk, becomes the savior." ]

[ Deadpool (Earth-10005): "…Hmm?! Hmm~ As expected, it's you, Little Wolfie, who understands me~" ]

[ Kevin Moskowitz (The Boys): "It's a pity that Homelander from our world isn't on it, otherwise I would definitely steal a vote for him!" ]

[ .....]

〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜

Inside the Avengers—

Peter Parker and Thor stared at each other, and then were embraced by a pair of large hands. Steve Roger looked at the two with a smile,

"Isn't the answer obvious enough?"

Gulp—

Little Spider gave a wry smile. Best friend, I can't vote for you!

〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜

Time Variance Authority—

Loki looked at Deadpool on the screen and couldn't help but laugh. This time, Deadpool is real—the non-crazy version of the savior.

And this time, Deadpool has a great relationship with the Time Variance Authority. Could it be that someone has invaded the Time Variance Authority, preparing to destroy everything?

But Loki didn't worry at all, because this kind of thing happened every moment in countless timelines.

Just wait and see. Loki suddenly understood He Who Remains.
