In Shen He's memory, Accelerator's participation in the so-called "Level 6 Shift Project" was solely to become "invincible."
Although he was already the "strongest" in Academy City, "strongest" and "invincible" were different. His strength only meant that others wanted to challenge him.
And being challenged would inevitably lead to someone getting hurt.
It was quite ironic. To avoid hurting others, he aimed to go beyond "strongest" and become "invincible," yet ultimately, he cruelly killed over ten thousand of what he considered "tools."
Thus, after realizing that the Misaka Sisters were not merely tools, Accelerator, in despair, considered himself an "incorrigible villain" to escape reality.
It wasn't until he met Last Order that he evolved into a lolicon.
Only then did he realize that his power could also protect others, and he was prepared to make enemies of the entire world to protect Last Order and the sisters' world.
If it were the Accelerator before he became a lolicon, Shen He thought:
Beating him up wouldn't be wrong at all.
Accelerator arrived even faster than Shen He had imagined.
He even agreed to the summoning without further questioning.
But when he appeared before everyone, his condition startled everyone.
This person, completely wrapped in bandages, only revealing his eyes and nose, and leaning on a cane, looking like a dying mummy... was this really Accelerator?
"Hey, hey, is this the power you were talking about?"
Accelerator had already digested the information in his mind, but he seemed unusually agitated, even reaching out and grabbing Shen He's collar, shouting:
"I don't want this kind of leisurely, slow-growing power! I want it immediately! Power I can have right now!"
Shen He effortlessly grabbed Accelerator's hand and pulled him away, smoothing out his clothes before glancing at the summoning interface.
The last ten-pull summon was a bust...
In the end, after forty summons, he'd only gotten one Accelerator from an unknown time period.
Heartbroken, miserable, wanted to cry...
"Servants cannot harm their Masters. With your physique, even without suppressing you to Level One, you wouldn't be able to resist me," Shen He said, raising his hand to soothe Violet, whose muscles were already tensed. Then, he looked at Accelerator. "Since you agreed to the summoning, you should be prepared to be under my control. If you still want power, answer my questions first."
"Interesting..."
Accelerator panted, glaring at Shen He, but said nothing more.
"First, who did this to you?"
Shen He looked at the injuries on Accelerator. Kamijou Touma's Friendship-Breaking Punch couldn't possibly cause such damage.
From the exposed area around his eye socket, it was clearly severe burns. In a world with normal medical standards, such extensive burns would be fatal just from skin infections alone.
"Misaka Mikoto."
When Accelerator spoke the name, his eyes mixed with killing intent and madness.
"...Are you sure!?"
Shen He doubted his ears. "Misaka Mikoto is only the fifth-ranked esper, and you're the first."
"First? I'm not anymore."
Accelerator's lips curled in a distortion that seemed to be despairing of the world. "That guy defeated me head-on, then formed a clone army, recruited a large number of Level 0s to attack Academy City, do you understand? This is a war, caused by me, and it's extremely boring!"
"——!?"
Shen He stared blankly! He was completely speechless.
He needed a moment to process.
If he hadn't misheard, Accelerator was saying Railgun had beaten him up like this, and then led the Misaka Sisters in a war against Academy City?
Although it sounded exciting,
and satisfying, there was no way Misaka Mikoto would do something like that! There was definitely something wrong with this A Certain Magical Index World!
Wait——!
Shen He's gaze suddenly landed on Jeanne d'Arc.
This situation… feels a bit familiar.
The cute and tsundere Alter Jeanne flashed through his mind.
Alter Servant!
That is: built on the foundation of the original character, a corrupted image that holds a different ideology of the same origin, constructed through the power of the Holy Grail.
"No way," Shen He muttered to himself, "Alter Misaka Mikoto?"
Railgun is already tsundere enough.
And could it be that a Holy Grail has drifted into A Certain Magical Index World (Altered)? Whose wish created this Alter? What about the real Misaka Mikoto?
Alter Servants are different from Ryougi Shiki's dual personalities. They are completely separate, independent people. Shen He could confirm that the new gacha banner features the real Misaka Mikoto, not Alter Misaka Mikoto.
Damn, I wish I'd gotten a pull just now.
"We need to prepare to go to a new world." Shen He stood up, his gaze fixed on Accelerator. "If the experiment was stopped, you should have already met Misaka, right? How is it? You incorrigible villain, are you prepared to pay any price to protect her?"
It's a simple plot deduction.
Accelerator was defeated, which meant he wasn't the strongest, so the experiment had no reason to continue. He and Misaka would meet early.
And only a lolicon like him would agree to the summoning without asking, just to pursue power. Apparently, his and Misaka's "happy" life had been disrupted by the chaotic situation.
"Don't joke around." Accelerator whispered expressionlessly. "I haven't even considered letting that little girl die, but I can't guarantee it won't happen – just realizing that drives me crazy! If you can do it, you can take everything from me."
If he wasn't helpless, how could he pin his hopes on the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind?
That woman, she defeated him completely and directly, without using any tricks.
"Tch." Shen He clicked his tongue.
As expected of the infamous lolicon.
His gaze shifted to his backpack. Among the forty summons, there were two recovery potions. He tossed one directly to Accelerator.
"Drink it."
Accelerator didn't hesitate. He crushed the bottle's mouth and tilted his head back, gulping it down.
Then, he ripped off the bandages on his head. His skin, already disfigured beyond recognition, rapidly healed under a green glow.
"I'm starting to believe it a bit." Accelerator discarded his cane. "Just a question, what is your objective?"
In this short time, he had witnessed far too much darkness. The police, the board of directors, even those who called themselves magicians—it was as if the entire world was suddenly filled with enemies. Now, there was another group of beings from a different dimension. After repeated setbacks, he had begun to learn to gather as much information as possible.
"You'll understand in time," Shen He said, pushing open the door and stepping out.
He had just reviewed the new information from the system. The Altered A Certain Magical Index World副本 was different from ordinary ones. He could enter it for three hours each day and only obtain one Summoning Stone, but he could also use one hour from a normal副本 there.
That meant he could spend a maximum of four hours there each day, and there was a chance to get extra time items through combat or triggered conditions.
He needed to inform Coulson and Tony, since he would be away for so long.
After all, it was time to grind the event.
