Aleister Crowley.
Known in A Certain Magical Index as the greatest magician of the 20th century, with the magic name Beast666.
He established Academy City after World War II to realize his plans.
Before them, Aleister Crowley was dressed in a green surgical gown, with long white hair, suspended upside down in a red liquid.
The most bizarre part was that he was wearing knee-high socks???
No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
Besides, his abilities were also quite peculiar.
Since Kaito hadn't fully understood or analyzed the plot of A Certain Magical Index, nor had he seriously researched Aleister Crowley, he didn't know the specifics of his abilities or functions.
He had heard that one of his possibilities was "Alester".
Hmm...
So, what were those ten billion possibilities?
He vaguely remembered that with the help of some device, Aleister had sealed over ten billion possibilities within himself, including men, women, the elderly, children, all kinds.
Once he left the device, these possibilities would manifest in the world.
For instance, in some volume of New Testament, one of his possibilities appeared before Touma and led him across the sea to invade Britain with the "10 Billion Crowley" horde.
It was quite... mysterious.
However, he was also called the arch-criminal of the Magic Side and the King of the Science Side.
But!
Most of the tragedies in Academy City could be attributed to him.
It was absurd.
Facing this man, Kaito had no positive feelings at all. If not for the potential impact on related plots and the resulting drastic changes, Kaito might have simply killed him.
For instance, if he killed him, would Academy City still exist?
Certain important future plotlines certainly wouldn't.
"I came here for one thing. Regarding the Absolute Power Evolution Project, I've already destroyed all the labs. The data and genetic material are gone."
"Also, don't even think about using the Misaka Network for anything. I plan to retrieve the Misaka Sisters sent to other countries."
He remembered that Last Order had an ability: she could issue a "Highest Order Directive" through the Misaka Network, commanding all "Misaka Sisters" worldwide to indiscriminately attack humans and then stop their own hearts.
Why only Last Order could do this was because she had an ahoge.
The ahoge was the Misaka Network's receiver. (greatly mistaken.jpg)
"Who are you? Why can't I find any information on you?"
Aleister was silent for a long time. Instead of answering Kaito's previous statements, he asked the question that concerned him most.
He had noticed the labs being destroyed from the beginning.
As for when Kaito entered Academy City...
He truly had no idea!!!
But if Kaito knew some magic, it was understandable.
"Hehe, the Overlord of the Universe, do you believe me?"
"Or are you saying you want to test my abilities?"
Kaito formed a Geo rock cube in his hand, smiling at Aleister.
Though Aleister's expression was blank, he certainly wouldn't dare do anything to Kaito.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to. Misaka Mikoto is under my protection, as are the people around her. So you'd better not target her."
"If you really want to do something... Academy City could have a new manager by tomorrow."
"You can choose not to believe me. You can give it a try. But whether you'll just pass away afterward, heh, I think only you'll know after trying."
After all, try and you might just pass away.
If you don't try, how will you know if you'll pass away!
Kaito didn't care. He had done what he needed to and said what he needed to.
If Aleister really wanted to try, Kaito had the time to play with him slowly.
If he killed him, and future plots changed drastically, he would deal with it then!
With his abilities, what did he have to fear?
Kaito could suppress even the various Magic Gods in A Certain Magical Index, including the strongest one.
Even if he couldn't now, he definitely would in the future!
He was getting stronger every second!!
"I'm leaving."
"Mm."
Kaito turned and left. Beelzebul, after releasing a powerful aura to warn Aleister, followed.
Kaito might not do anything, but that didn't mean she wouldn't.
Before leaving, she destroyed all the key facilities in the building with lightning, leaving Aleister to deal with the consequences.
"You... ah, forget it."
Seeing the surrounding area suddenly lose power, Kaito smiled and glanced at Beelzebul.
He didn't stop her; if he had, there wouldn't have been a blackout.
Back at Misuzu's villa, Kaito gave an update.
Misuzu and Mikoto no longer needed to worry about the Misaka Sisters. Now they just had to wait for the Sisters to return.
Given the Sisters' abilities, it was only a matter of time.
After they returned, Kaito would prepare to give out his gifts.
"Papa! Late-night snacks! Late-night snacks!"
"Coming, coming!"
Kaito brought out a large amount of cake and other treats from the golden ripple. As he distributed them, the Misaka Sisters' expressions finally lost their woodenness, replaced by faint smiles as they tasted the food.
Come to think of it...
The Misaka Network was truly powerful, so...
If one Misaka Sister experienced something, wouldn't the others...
Share it collectively?
For example, when one Sister ate chocolate cake, the others received information about how delicious it was.
Though, they would have to upload it for that to happen; otherwise, it didn't count.
"Kaito, help me choose. Which villa should I buy?"
Misuzu showed Kaito her phone, seeking help.
After looking for a while, Kaito decided against buying one. Instead, he suggested they continue living in Academy City.
No space?
Just have a commercial apartment building vacated.
The next morning, Kaito took Misuzu to look at properties. After choosing a nice luxury residential complex, Kaito used hypnosis to have everyone move out.
They had to clean before moving out.
The Misaka Sisters could then live in the same building, enjoying the complex's park. The other buildings could be theirs to renovate and play with.
After this was settled, a very happy Misuzu dragged Kaito to the Jade Chamber, claiming she wanted to properly thank him for his help.
