Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

This time, even with his trump card exposed and Aleister's confidence shattered by this man, he still went to great lengths, almost losing by a single move and allowing Aleister to turn the tables and slip away.

Yet, even this guy was sent flying by this man's single blow.

Although combat is something that cannot be compared simply by equivalent substitution, the difference won't be too great.

In other words, he wouldn't be a match for the man in front of him.

He had no grand or lofty ideals, nor any things he absolutely had to accomplish.

If there's anything that absolutely had to be done, it's that he already did it right after dealing with Aleister.

After nearly a hundred years, he finally regained his freedom. Now he wanted to enjoy his freedom to the fullest and the beauty of the human world. If he were to be killed like this, it would be a huge loss.

"Don't worry so much, what I want to do is quite simple."

As he tried his best, Makoto Haramura put on a kind smile, but the hand gripping Laura's shoulder tightened more and more, like a pair of pliers.

"As a demon living in hell, you should have the coordinates to reach the space where the demon god resides, right?"

That's right, Makoto Haramura needs to take the initiative.

Now, the only thing he needs to deal with in this world is those demons and gods.

However, those demons generally don't appear in the real world, even if the world is destroyed.

Therefore, if he chooses to wait in the real world, he will waste a lot of time.

Therefore, he must take the initiative and strike directly into the lair of those demons, wiping them out completely.

"Ah, a demon god?"

Upon hearing Haramura Makoto's words, Kolon Tsuyoshi was stunned.

He heard every word Haramura Makoto said clearly, but he never expected that this man would want to go after those troublesome guys.

Yes, it's just troublesome.

Even for Coronzon, those demon gods were a bunch of troublesome fellows.

As a demon in Hell, the most troublesome thing in their eyes is not the angels living in the heavens, but the demons living in the alternate phases.

Of course, in terms of combat power, whether they are angels, demons, or even those demon gods, most of them are at the same level.

The difference in strength between them is not significant; they are basically evenly matched.

However, there is a huge gap between him and angels and demons.

At most, they can rival the Demon God in combat power, but the Demon God is an existence capable of overturning the laws of nature.

They can arbitrarily distort all the laws of the world, and a fully-formed demon god even possesses the power to destroy the world and then reshape it.

Therefore, even if they are roughly equal in destructive power, if a war were to actually break out, they would most likely lose the battle against the demon god.

There is virtually no chance of winning.

"If you're looking for a way to reach the Demon God Phase, I really don't have it here."

Looking at Makoto Haramura's expression, Laura gritted her teeth and said with great difficulty.

Why is she collecting methods to reach the Demon God phase? Those Demon Gods aren't going to fight with them for anything. She's just making trouble for herself.

If we're really talking about it, he does have a way to get to the heavens.

"Crack——!"

The sound of bones grinding against each other echoed from Makoto Haramura's body, and the increasing pain in his shoulder caused Kolonzun to break out in a cold sweat instantly. The previously distressed expression on his face instantly turned into a fawning one.

"Of course, if you ask, I will definitely try my best to find a way."

"After all, it's not a difficult thing. I can find the location of the Demon God's phase in half a day."

"You see?"

Haramura Makoto nodded in satisfaction, released his grip on Kronzun's hand, and patted him on the head instead.

"work hard."

"If you do a good job, I can pretend I didn't see many of the things you did."

Chapter 427 Turning the Tide into Clouds

The Oversight Council is the highest-ranking authority in Academy City, with influence in all aspects of the city, and is a ruling class of only twelve people.

Within this academy city, apart from the all-powerful chairman, these board members are the highest authority.

Each of these council members wields considerable authority in Academy City, covering fields such as medicine, agriculture, industry, military, and aerospace...

These are all industries that these council members are responsible for, and each council member is a leader in their field.

For example, Makoto Haramura's most loyal supporter, Mochika Okafune.

She is a member of the council, and her job is to handle diplomacy in Academy City.

For example, the one who was killed by Makoto Haramura was Shiogishi, who was in charge of military research and development in Academy City.

Now, with the demise of Chairman Aleister, who held the pinnacle of power, and the complete disappearance of the windowless building, these board members naturally became the highest point of power in Academy City.

However, this has created new problems.

Who should be appointed as the Supreme Chairman?

This is the pinnacle of power in Academy City; who wouldn't want to ascend this supreme throne?

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that if these people didn't have the ambition to climb the ranks, they wouldn't have come from their respective fields to the management level of Academy City in the first place.

Now, the windowless building has disappeared from Academy City in full view of everyone, and they have no contact with Aleister at all. The board members who never dared to compete with Aleister for their positions in the past have now all developed their own ambitions.

So, after the news was confirmed, the council meeting was held a few hours later.

Of course, this time the overall council meeting, like before, was not held in a specific location or building, but was conducted online.

After all, the relationships between these directors were not very good, and several directors even wished they could kill each other.

In this sensitive period, the danger is skyrocketing, and everyone is worried that others might disregard their reputation and take direct action.

The central ship, symbolizing diplomacy, is located in the middle.

Hisako, a symbol of the medical field.

It symbolizes the hidden treasures within the agricultural sector.

Bei Jijimin conducts research in the field of raw stones.

Thomas, who holds management authority within the shadows.

Others, symbolizing the aviation sector, symbolizing the agricultural sector, were connected to the network one by one. Before dawn, all eleven surviving directors gathered here to begin the general council meeting.

At the meeting.

The main members of the board, including Shizuka, Jiji Min, and several other directors with little real power, all sat on the edge.

This has been a long-standing tradition and custom.

Especially in the case of the matriarch, when the Talent Workshop was still around, she had already vaguely risen to be on par with the other directors by leveraging the workshop's influence.

However, yesterday the artificial intelligence workshop was identified as a spy force, and the most important thing in the ship was destroyed once again.

Currently, those who have clearly expressed their desire to compete for the position of the new chairman of Academy City include Thomas, who manages the Dark Side, and Hisako Yakumi, who manages the medical field of Academy City and appears to be only about thirty years old.

Of course, these things are normal.

The Dark Side is the largest violent organization in Academy City. After the death of Shiogishi, the director in charge of military supplies, Thomason has become the military representative of Academy City.

Similarly, healthcare is indispensable to Academy City. Things like the development of espers' abilities are all linked to healthcare. Hisako Yakumi's influence is in no way inferior to Thomason's.

The rest of the people were just average and couldn't be compared to these two at all.

"I'm sorry, but I also want to join the election for chairman."

Just then, Shinsenzaburo raised his hand with a big smile on his face.

"boom!"

Thomason slammed his fist on the table with a loud thud, glaring angrily at the head of the ship.

"Do you know what you're saying? Your own ship."

"As the head of the Talent Workshop, you are already under observation, yet you still want to participate in the election for the Supreme Chairman."

“Now I have strong reasons to suspect that there is something wrong with your relationship with Talent Workshop, and you need to investigate thoroughly.”

This statement is a lie.

Everyone present knew that Talent Workshop could not possibly be a spy organization. This was probably an uncontrolled experiment in Academy City, and Academy City needed to erase the traces of the experiment's failure.

But right now, nobody cares about that.

This has become Thomason's most effective weapon against his own ships.

"Looks like he was the one who was jumping the most around, so let's make him the last one to be cut."

Inside the luxuriously decorated room, Makoto Haramura sat in a chair, personally overseeing the convening of these council meetings.

Sitting next to him was naturally Misaki Shokuhou, who had returned here after leaving Seraphia Kumokawa.

And the city's most skilled cyber hacker.

——Misaka Mikoto.

If Misaki Shokuhou is the most skilled manipulator of people's hearts in this city, then Misaka Mikoto is the empress who is the most powerful manipulator of electronic devices in this city.

Misaka Mikoto's ability is to manipulate electricity; she can violently control any electronic device or anything that can be electrified.

No electronic device can disobey the orders of this electric princess.

"Surgery? What do you mean?"

A question mark appeared above Misaka Mikoto's head.

To be honest, she was still in a daze when she arrived here.

Originally, she was running around Academy City trying to prove Haramura Makoto's innocence because of his problem.

As a result, that despicable woman, Misaki Shokuhou, appeared right in front of her.

However, at this point, she couldn't care less about such things.

Misaki Shokuhou is Makoto Haramura's girlfriend. Since she's here, I'm sure I'll be able to find out about Makoto and figure out what's going on.

Before she could even speak, Misaki Shokuhou asked her for help.

First, they helped locate the director named Bei Jimin, and then they came here.

She did finally meet Haramura Makoto, whom she had always wanted to see, but before she could even exchange a single word with him, she was assigned to infiltrate the place again.

"Ok?"

"How should I put it, Misaka-san?"

The one who answered Misaka Mikoto was not Makoto Haramura, but Misaki Shokuhou.

Misaki Shokuhou's attitude towards Misaka Mikoto is now quite good, a stark contrast to before.

"To put it simply, it's about bringing about a revolution in Academy City and completely eradicating all the darkness within it."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll answer all your questions later."

"Now do me another favor."

Misaki Shokuhou grabbed Misaka Mikoto's clothes and pointed at the computer screen.

"Add me in now."

"I also want to join this meeting and support my allies."

"Crack!"

Misaka Mikoto extended her finger, and a flash of electricity appeared.

“That’s right, the problems at the Talent Workshop are very serious right now. Director Qin Chuan, you are not qualified to run for election.”

Another director, who was considered one of Thomason's lackeys, immediately echoed Thomason's words.

But right now.

“I think the board members may have some prejudice against our talent workshop.”

"Could you please wait a moment while I explain?"
