Chapter 974: The Male Lead in a Harem Story is Like This
Chapter 974: The Male Lead in a Harem Story is Like This
Although the Railgun is Misaka Mikoto's signature move, it isn't her most powerful technique.
As an Electromaster, her superpower involves manipulating electricity, and electricity isn't just limited to electromagnetic force.
Just like the iron sand earlier, electricity can be utilized in various ways, and Misaka Mikoto often doesn't directly use pure electrical power in combat, as it could easily be lethal.
Standing atop the "Thunder Giant's" head, Misaka Mikoto's sailor uniform flutters in the wind, and one can even catch a glimpse of her safety pants representing her true form.
At this moment, Misaka extends her right hand, forming a firing gesture with her thumb and index finger extended.
A powerful electrical force gathers at her fingertip, and arcs of lightning directly leap from her body.
The Lightning Spear, this is Misaka Mikoto's true formidable technique. When the electrical force gathered at her fingertip reaches its limit, a powerful current of one billion volts forms a blue-white light spear, shooting out at the speed of light in a straight trajectory.
The Railgun may disappear due to air friction after reaching a certain distance, but the Lightning Spear does not.
Moreover, the lightning strike at the speed of light can reach distant corners in an instant, and as long as it's a straight line, no matter how far, there's no significance to the distance. The key lies in whether the opponent is within Misaka Mikoto's line of sight.
A one-billion-volt current is almost akin to divine punishment, but it also requires a certain charging time to gather and release.
This charging time, when facing other Espers in Academy City, isn't considered particularly long.
However, the problem lies in the fact that with the speed and techniques displayed by Kanzaki Kaori, the brief charging time is already enough for her to create multiple opportunities to kill Misaka.
For this reason, Misaka Mikoto doesn't hesitate to expend a significant amount of power, using electromagnetism to gather dust and iron sand from the surroundings to create the current "Thunder Giant."
But upon seeing the towering Thunder Giant rising from the ground and Misaka Mikoto atop it, who is clearly preparing a powerful move, Kanzaki's face also reveals a mix of appreciation and battle intent.
Although she doesn't like people from the scientific side, it's undeniable that Misaka Mikoto's displayed strength has earned her recognition, even making her feel that Misaka is no less impressive than some renowned magicians.
"Unknown Esper girl, my magic name is Salvare000, which means to extend a helping hand to those who cannot be saved.
I've witnessed your strength and determination, so now I will also fight with all my might! This is also a perfect opportunity to test the breakthrough I felt in my 'Shintetsu' after a recent battle with a powerful opponent!"
The lightning strike at the speed of light is fast, but is her 'Shintetsu', which is comparable to the divine realm, slow?
The seemingly formidable Thunder Giant is rendered useless against Kanzaki's 'Shintetsu', as the moment she activates the divine child within a Saint's body, this giant is unable to react in time.
However, as Kanzaki declares her magic name and slightly crouches, preparing to unleash her ultimate finishing move, a figure suddenly rushes into the battlefield and directly confronts Kanzaki.
But upon seeing the figure that intrudes upon the battle between the 'Railgun' and the 'God-Splitting Sword,' Night City, who had been lurking in the shadows, observing the spectacle from a corner, can't help but raise the corners of his mouth, saying, "It seems that the boy is indeed the Dimensional Child of this world without a doubt.
And with the addition of the white-haired nun before, there are now three female characters, making this yet another fantasy-themed harem anime."
Watching the black-haired hedgehog-headed boy who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Night City wasn't the least bit worried about his safety.
After all, this was how protagonists in harem battle anime were—even if they were weak as a wet noodle, they always managed to turn the tables and show off, making the girls fall into their arms.
It seemed that Kamijou Touma had already pulled off all the cool moves, not to mention the white-haired nun, but he hadn't raised Kanzaki Kaori's affection level, so the Earth Mother quickly arranged a new scene for him.
"Weren't you supposed to take Index away? Why are you still here?"
Seeing Kamijou Touma suddenly rushing towards her, Kanzaki stopped in her tracks and stared at the boy in front of her, her face filled with bewilderment.
Mikoto Misaka, who was standing atop the Lightning Giant, was also surprised by Kamijou Touma's sudden appearance.
And when she saw Kamijou Touma charging towards Kanzaki, Misaka couldn't help but exclaim, "Idiot! Do you know what you're doing?"
The Lightning Giant's massive fist, crackling with electricity, was already descending for a devastating blow. Misaka Misaka, unable to stop the attack, watched in horror.
But at that very moment, facing the colossal Lightning Giant's heavy punch, Kamijou Touma bravely stepped forward and clenched his right fist, delivering a punch of his own!
The two disproportionate fists collided, and in an instant, Kamijou Touma's body flew backward like a ragdoll.
However, at the same moment Kamijou Touma was sent flying, the massive "Lightning Giant" began to crack and quickly disintegrated.
There was no mistake; the "Lightning Giant," despite its regenerative abilities, was completely ineffective. Even Kamijou Touma's seemingly feeble punch had caused it to crumble.
No wonder the first volume of the novel had such an impact!
The reason was simple: the supernatural power 'Imagine Breaker' residing in the boy's right hand had the ability to nullify all supernatural powers.
As impressive as the Lightning Giant was, it was merely a product of Misaka Misaka's psychic powers. So, when it came into contact with Kamijou Touma's right hand, its mysterious power was instantly nullified.
Kamijou Touma and Misaka Misaka's acquaintance was due to the former catching Misaka's Railgun with his bare hands.
Despite being the third-ranked psychic in Academy City, her attack was caught by a Level 0, so Misaka Misaka remembered Kamijou Touma from that moment on.
As the Lightning Giant crumbled, Misaka Misaka, who had been standing atop it, suddenly lost her footing and fell from the sky, her body losing balance.
To make matters worse, Misaka Misaka's Thunder Spear, which she had intended to disperse, was accidentally released due to her sudden loss of balance!
A thick white light pillar, carrying a billion volts of electricity, shot towards Kanzaki and Kamijou Touma at an astonishing speed.
Kanzaki, who had been planning to dodge the attack, hesitated. Even if she activated her Saint's Body, she could still evade the attack.
But the problem was that Kamijou Touma, who had just been struck by the Lightning Giant, was right beside her...
