Hello guys! As promised I'm back with a new chapter!
I don't like leaving something half done, so I'll keep going until the end.
After a year's break I'm back with the second part of this story, which opens with a new phase of Accelerator and Othinus' adventure.
In the first part we saw Accelerator go through infinite hells, with countless mental battles with Othinus which bring him to the brink of madness but always standing up again. And ending with the final battle between the two characters, with Accelerator taking advantage of all the experience accumulated to win against the unstoppable opponent. Having matured mentally, the young esper chooses to forgive his enemy by convincing her to restore the original world, and ultimately also chooses to protect her from the entire world to give her an opportunity for redemption as was given to him.
The time has come to start this new adventure.
Happy reading everyone. Constructive criticism will be accepted and the flames will be ignored.

Chapter 11
New powers and new enemies
In the cold and snowy lands of Denmark, two figures walked alone to an unknown destination.
"I am glad that you have restored my abilities to full power, otherwise I'd freeze my ass off in no time with the clothes I am wearing." the boy snapped.
"Indeed. You should be honored that this god has given you such treatment. I am rarely so kind to mortals." she answered.
"Not that you did it out of sheer generosity." he snorted.
The girl remained silent for a few seconds in embarrassment.
"In any case it is your fault if you wear light clothes unsuitable for this climate!" the girl screamed irritably.
"Well, not that I had time to change clothes while we were on a battlefield, I was getting ready to face an army, and then be teleported to the other side of the planet! I barely had ten minutes to do it all! Besides, I have no intention of hearing a sermon about light clothing from a nudist!"
"Who are you calling a nudist?!"
These two individuals were the magic god Othinus and the strongest esper Accelerator, both engaged in an extremely complex and erudite conversation.
"I'll let you know that normal girls don't wear such obscene clothes unless it's in the summer or some scorching heat country." the esper said.
"I'll let you know that this is a traditional witch dress! It's not obscene at all and anyway it's not that a Japanese like you have exactly a strong sense of fashion." she replied. After all, it was known that the Japanese had an extremely varied concept of fashion.
Both was throwing mental daggers at the other.
They had just arrived in the vicinity of Hjorring in Denmark but not exactly where they were supposed to be.
"Anyway, you still haven't told me where we're going, we've been walking for half an hour!"
"We are heading to Egeskov castle for your information, it is located just above a lake." she replied with an annoyed expression.
"Othinus, I'm officially a genius capable of learning any area of study and excelling, however I didn't go to a fucking school like other teenagers. My understanding of world geography doesn't extend to every stupid city and region of the planet, I need more explanation." Accelerator didn't like to admit these things, but their hours were numbered and it was only a matter of time before they found themselves facing the international alliance, besides Othinus already knew him so what did it matter at this point.
"Okay, I the god Othinus, in my infinite wisdom will do the hard work of teaching you." she stated in a pose erudite and charismatic.
"Let's start from the basics, Denmark is a peninsula linked to the mainland only in the south bordering Germany, and is formed by 450 islands. Its capital is Copenhagen, it is a member of NATO and the EU, while its national currency ..."
"I just want to know where the hell we are and how far from the target location, nothing more. History and geography lessons can wait."
A vein appeared on Othinus' forehead, she didn't like to be interrupted.
"There are several kilometers to the castle. We should walk there, then at the bottom of the lake I will find my missing eye and use it to become human again."
The esper raised an eyebrow.
"Why didn't you teleport us there from the start?"
"It's not that easy to cross tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant, especially with an improvised spell. Most wizards wouldn't be able to do it without some great ritual prepared well in advance. Be thankful I was able to hit the area geography, I may not have pinpoint accuracy, but at least we're not in another country or at the bottom of the ocean." Othinus sighed.
Accelerator could not object.
"Okay, now that we understand our objective, how do we go about it? We could bridge the distance by flying but I don't know the area, we could get lost and the cold climate of Denmark doesn't work in our favour."
"True, circumstances don't allow it, also don't you dare propose the idea again of carrying me flying with your beautiful angelic wings as if I needed to be looked after! I can take care of myself!" Othinus replied annoyed.
The thought of flying with him in the sky for some reason annoyed and embarrassed her to no end.
What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I feel these strange butterflies in my stomach?
"Beautiful angelic wings?" asked the esper with a raised eyebrow.
Othinus froze.
Oh shit! She thought as her cheeks colored.
"Let's go back to the previous point. A way must be established to get to Egeskov Castle." the goddess said agitated.
Accelerator looked at her curiously, but finally shrugged her shoulders nodding at her request.
The women were quite strange, but now was not the time to focus on such matters.
"By now, the Anti-Gremlin Alliance will have already announced to all its members that I escaped Sargasso thanks to you. And it's only a matter of time before it's announced to the whole world and we're named public enemy number 1."
The esper clucked his tongue at the thought.
"Until now they haven't had a big problem with the existence of the magical god Othinus has been hidden from the general public, but now following recent events they won't hesitate anymore, especially now that I am accompanied by Academy City's strongest esper."
Indeed, both were a world-class threat, and this taken individually, working together they were a monstrous combination both magically and scientifically.
"We are now officially at the top of the shit list of all global organizations and beyond." Othinus let out a sigh "Even my ex-Gremlin subordinates will be our adversaries, after I betrayed them and used them for my own purposes, they will surely hunt me down for revenge or to take advantage of what little power I have left to reclaim forcibly the desires they craved."
Othinus knew it would happen, the moment she betrayed them it was inevitable, she would have found a way to get away with using her power and cunning under normal circumstances, but now it was different, she was physically and mentally weak. She was in a vulnerable state as her fate met with a mortal who changed her, pushed her down a different path than the one she started on. A path that made her both vulnerable, yet happier than she's ever been in ages, which is why she doesn't regret the slightest bit about her choice.
Yet the fact also remained that she had been a real manipulative bitch, there was no denying it, she had hurt and manipulated countless people, including her former allies, and now karma was coming back to bite her ass.
"So, with all those organizations looking for us it will be a problem to move, keeping a low profile by not using our powers, we can go about a day or two without them finding us. But that is just a hypothesis considering all the resources and information they have." Accelerator suggested.
"True. Though we won't go unnoticed for long, sure we can avoid trouble for a while by not using our powers. We both exude an amount of power that is simply too great to hide for long, even with a cloaking spell. It will suffice that a wizard expert you cast a locator spell and we're screwed." Othinus said.
"Then instead of thinking about how to hide, we should think about how to fight them. We are wanted by everyone now, but if we use our strengths together, we can easily handle them enough to complete this mission. My skill protects me from all conventional weapons and anything Academy City throws at us."
"From almost everything. Academy City already has contingencies specifically designed in case one of the level 5 espers rebel against their power, as well as being able to take advantage of Imagine Breaker. But you already know that." Othinus declared.
The esper's eyes narrowed.
"Maybe. If I was still that arrogant boy prone to stupid tactical mistakes, I would be defeated, but things have changed, I'm much stronger than before and I won't make mistakes that will endanger the people next to me." he said. His firm posture was no longer that of a boy but that of a man.
"Yes, now you are stronger and more prepared than you ever were. Our current enemies expect to face a crippled level 5 with several weaknesses. Little do they know that your brain damage is healed and that by now you have transcended the power of a standard level 5." the goddess said smiling.
The countless experiences accumulated in the infinite hells of Othinus had meant that Accelerator improved both intellectually and physically. A long series of favorable circumstances even allowed the esper to temporarily ascend to level 6 in his final conflict with the magic god.
"You are powerful, not only can you fend off the scientific side yourself, but you also have a good understanding of magic that you now know how to counter with your vector manipulation."
Othinus' smile retreated.
"Unfortunately, your understanding of magic is far from perfect, especially now that you are no longer connected to Aiwass, a sufficiently complex magic still capable of harming and potentially killing you if cornered by multiple opponents."
The goddess smiled happily again.
"However, luckily for you, I'm here! Othinus, Norse goddess of wisdom, warfare, and especially magic! I may not be as good as the Index of Forbidden Books, but I remain a full-blown magical god, and my knowledge of magic it is second to none. Therefore, I can fill in any of your missing information on the magical you need, ask and it shall be given." Othinus replied with a proud expression.
"If that's the case then let's get going, we'll be ready for whatever the world throws at us." the esper smiled.
The goddess nodded in agreement with the esper.
Objectives and plans had been decided and more would be arranged later.
But for now, they would be satisfied with this. It was the best course of action both to get what they wanted and not to involve civilians in the event of a confrontation.
Othinus laughed mentally. If she had been told in the past that she would one day worry about strangers during one of her plans, she would have burst out laughing. After all, what wretched humans were compared to a god like her, but now some of her long-dormant human emotions had resurfaced, and the idea of an innocent mortal dying because of her left a bad taste in her mouth.
Accelerator and Othinus continued their journey to the place where she would leave godhood and she would become human again.
"By the way, I remembered another question that we haven't addressed." Accelerator said.
The girl looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"That is to say?"
"As the strongest esper in Academy City, I'm quite famous and they have enough information about me, my identity would easily become public knowledge if leaked. But in your case, I don't know. Tell me, how many of your enemies know your true identity? How many do they know that the magic god Othinus is a girl?" the white-haired boy asked.
Othinus thought about it for a moment.
"I don't know. But I think anyone who has heard the Groove Coverage song knows." she answered honestly.
"Huh?"
News could travel fast, and news about the two fugitives traveled just as fast reaching the ears of certain people.
A certain group was more deeply troubled than any other by Othinus and Accelerator's disappearance.
They were inside the UN Headquarters building in New York.
The group was made up of the leaders of the world's most powerful nations and largest churches.
"This isn't good," groaned United States President, Roberto Katze.
Below them was every piece of information gathered from soldiers on the scene, UAVs, and military satellites. In a way, they had more accurate and detailed information than Kamijou's group who were actually in Sargasso.
The boy who was Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church politely raised his hand before speaking.
"I don't personally know the number 1 esper of Academy City Accelerator, do any of you? In that case can you explain the possible motivations of the esper changed sides?"
"He had contact with Gremlin once before." Roberto held his head in his hands. "Hawaii, and it's unconfirmed, it was there that I in turn met the boy for the first time, he made a fundamental contribution to repelling the military forces of the Gremlin present on the island, he did not at all give the impression that he would accept orders from others and did not seem inclined to get manipulate. But nothing is impossible, Othinus is a supposedly omnipotent being so forcing even a level 5 esper onto his side isn't unheard of or enticing him with some very enticing promise. There may have been some complicated reason for that."
"The truth of that is not the issue." cut in a sickly-looking woman.
She controlled France's politics from deep underground and was known as the Femme Fatale.
Queen Regnant Elizard then spoke up in annoyance.
"Once those doubts begin, saying he's innocent because one of us knows him isn't enough, hm? The only way to stop this worldwide frenzy is to attack and eliminate the source."
"Isn't that the same theory used during the witch hunt?"
"For us, that never came to an end. You can be as idealistic as you want, but if we don't do this, human society will soon boil over with fear of Othinus."
The queen had never known the esper, the only information she had about him was that he was a feared and powerful esper who first acted on their side together with Kamijou against the Gremlin and now suddenly became their enemy. In part she was sorry to have to face a younger boy than her own daughters, on the other hand precisely because she had no connection with him she would not have hesitated too much, the boy had sided with Othinus and none of his subordinates and allies of the alliance would hesitate to fight him.
They had already begun contacting the leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The leaders of those three major churches were likely releasing the restrictions on specially sealed spells. Elizard had her own thoughts while watching them prepare spells that could literally destroy a nation.
Not only to face Othinus but also the number 1 esper, although some magicians underestimated espers others knew that those two together were a deadly blend of science and magic.
It may have come from his position as the leader of a nation as the protector of something even greater.
And then he spoke once more.
"In that case, we can only continue as normal. We find the 'Othinus faction' that has made their way through the world and we destroy them equally. That's the only way to prevent society from growing any more unstable."
The email was sent out to all of them at once.
"What is this?"
Kamijou Touma looked at his cellphone in shock.
"I can't believe it. How many times does fate push me to face that boy? Is there a world where we don't have to kill each other?"
Academy City's #2 was exasperated.
"If he was anyone else, I'd be disgusted by this. But since it's him, I don't think it's a bad thing to consider the request."
Academy City's #3 murmured frowning.
"Denmark? What a pain. What did that idiot do there? And who did he piss off this time? He must have really screwed up if they ask me such a request."
Academy City's #4 thought aloud.
"Oh? I don't know what happened, but it looks like I have more to do now. And what's more, I have no intention of dying."
Academy City's #5 gave a tight smile.
"…"
Academy City's #6 toyed with the phone.
"What kind of email is this? It's got no guts at all. Did this come from some intellectual with no common sense?"
Academy City's #7 cracked his neck.
Those screens opened simultaneously in different locations displayed a short text:
Requesting the death of Magic God Othinus and Accelerator who is traveling with her.
"So let me get this straight, are you behind the existence of some modern TV shows and songs?" asked Accelerator curiously.
"Sure, what did you think I did in my spare time? In my long-lived life I spent the years honing magic, influencing nations, gaining allies, and forming organizations to work for me. But I also had hobbies similar to mortals, enjoying the simple things like music and art." Othinus said.
"If by art you mean anime about magical girls, I don't question how you have influenced both Western and Eastern modern culture." he muttered.
"True, I may have given them input on some things but for the rest it was humanity that innovated modern animation with their creativity, for example there is this anime about magical girls that came out in the last few years which is very original which ignores the classic stereotype cheerful and is about two girls who try to face various difficulties in order to find mutual salvation. One is an idealistic girl with a pure heart who secretly hides the power of a goddess while the other is a cynical girl and anti-heroic desperately fighting to save the former, oh coincidentally the latter's name is..."
"Okay, we'll talk about magical girls at another time now let's focus on more important matters, sorry but a certain brat at home was constantly talking about the same things and I don't feel like repeating it." Accelerator said.
Othinus chafed at being interrupted, normally she would have kept her anger in check but now...
Othinus took a stone from the ground, enchanted it and threw it at full speed towards the esper. A stone strengthened and thrown by a simple wizard was the equivalent of a projectile, instead a stone thrown by a magic god (albeit weakened) had the power of a cannon.
Capable of tearing apart most targets.
The impact with the target created a shock wave that swept away all the snow within ten meters.
However.
"Stop getting irritated every time, we have more important things to do now."
The boy remained imperturbable, not moving from his point where he was.
With one hand he had easily grabbed the stone after intercepting it.
"You know you can't hit me." he said nonchalantly.
"I know, that's why I cast it. You can handle any fit and therefore I take no risks in venting my occasional outbursts of anger on you." Othinus replied with an innocent smile.
Accelerator rolled his eyes at the goddess' antics.
"I have to admit though, I'm slightly surprised you took it with your bare hands." she disclosed.
"So what? It was easy to intercept." he replied raising an eyebrow.
She gave him a gentle smile.
"Didn't you notice? In the past you didn't have such reflexes at all, and even when you managed to intercept an attack you just reflected it with your powers without trying too hard or using different methods, while now you are making full use of both your abilities and physical than mental. Spending centuries in countless worlds has led you to adapt by becoming ever stronger and more efficient, reaching the pinnacle of physical capabilities and the versatility of your powers, using them together in a masterful way. You may not be an official level 6, but you are still more powerful than you've ever been." she explained.
Accelerator weighed her words, looking between the rock in his hand and the girl. It was true. He had changed a lot compared to before not only in his personality, but also in his powers, he was stronger, more methodical and less sloppy in his fighting style than him. He had already matured in the past after his first defeats and brain damage understanding that he could not fully rely on his vector control ability, but now he had perfected all his other fighting skills, especially physical, as there was no guarantee that your power was enough to take down an opponent, and spending an eternity facing a being more powerful than himself had surely taught him that.
He had improved, so much that at this point it was a natural instinct to follow this new style, just like catching a stone or a bullet instead of just reflecting it.
He could choose to reflect the blows and return them with damage, but he understood now that that wasn't the only option.
All his life he knew only two choices to make when faced with conflict, be overwhelmed or fight to win, now he knew there was a third option, not fight at all without anyone getting hurt, neither himself nor anyone else. With his power he could do anything, including stopping an enemy attack without harming him.
Violence didn't solve everything, that's why he didn't fight back against Othinus, sometimes more peaceful methods worked better. Also knowing the girl he knew there was no real malice in her act.
He only had to look at the gentle smile on her face to understand that she, too, had changed for the better.
"You're right, I've improved a lot." he smirked.
The long suffering in Othinus's infinite worlds had served him well after all, he had learned a lot in that almost eternal span of time.
"I think it's time to hurry, we don't know how long we have before they find us or before Ollerus' curse takes over." she said.
Accelerator looked at her narrowing her eyes.
"The Fairy Spell, right?"
She nodded.
An anti-god spell designed exclusively for Othinus. The spell took the form of a luminous stake that pierced the target's chest, it could not be seen with the naked eye, but for those who perceived the magical energy well, it could do it.
The esper had fully mastered this ability and now saw clearly what was weakening Othinus.
If only that magical stake could be removed, everything would be easier.
Suddenly the esper had an epiphany.
But, maybe I have the power to do something?
"Hey Othinus!" the esper called.
The girl perked up in response.
"What's up?" she asked.
He reached out his hand.
"Come, come closer and let me touch your chest, I want to try something I think you'll like."
The boy's desire to help her was sincere and genuine, but the way he phrased his sentence caused a misunderstanding.
"What!?" Othinus blushed furiously.
This shameless human! He had had the audacity to make such a request! Of course she was in his debt and they had come to trust each other, but this was too much to ask!
It was also true that since ancient times gods and mortals had mated, and goddesses sometimes rewarded mortal heroes for their deeds. The legend of the Valkyrie Brunhild and her mortal lover the hero Sigurd crossed her mind. A story invented by the Nordic myth, but to which she was still passionate.
No. It didn't matter now anyway. Because she had a dignity as a goddess and she would not comply with such a request.
While such thoughts distracted her, Accelerator advanced with his hand.
"W-Wait! I'm not ready for something like this."
"What are you talking about? Come and don't complain, it will be fast." he replied.
"You can not-"
Her words fell on deaf ears as the esper used her other hand to bring her closer and the palm of his left hand touched her chest.
At that instant an electric shock pervaded Othinus' body.
For a single instant a mysterious energy shot through her, flooding her being as a flash of light shot out of her chest a second later.
She felt as if something had just been removed from her body and reduced to a glowing dust now visible in the cold Danish air as her esper removed the palm of his hand from her.
The girl staggered backward as if she was about to fall, but Accelerator grabbed her shoulders and helped her to her feet.
"What did you do?" she asked in shock.
"I was successfully removing a problem." he replied smiling.
"Ollerus' Fairy Spell." she realised.
Othinus could be powerful and brilliant in magic, but precisely because of her nature as a goddess and the nature of the spell that had affected her, she could not remove it. That spell designed by Ollerus was made in such a way that it could not be undone by whoever fell victim to it, only a third party could undo it and in turn that person should have exceptional ability to undo an anti-god spell.
And Accelerator was one of these people, although he was not a wizard himself, he had an excellent knowledge of magic, and his advanced AIM field was so dense and versatile that it had anti-magic traits, Accelerator was able to destroy from within a powerful curse with a sheer display of talent and skill in the use of his esper abilities.
"This is the power of science for you. It won't be a problem anymore, you are free Othinus. What was killing you is gone, and although this is only a temporary solution to our problems we may face other threats, this was the first step in taking life back that belongs to you."
A genuine smile appeared on Othinus' face.
"Thanks Accelerator, thanks for everything." she said from the bottom of her heart. Now the wounds her had suffered from Ollerus' spell would gradually heal, and even if it took her some time to fully heal and be able to return to her full power, her life was no longer in immediate danger. And she was deeply grateful for it.
"If there's anything I can do for you now or in the future to return the favor, don't hesitate to ask."
"You can rest assured, I won't ask for any compensation. I decided to help you from the beginning, and I don't regret it, if anything this was a way to help both of us in this mission of ours." he replied.
Othinus sighed in frustration.
"Look, it's not just about you, it's about me too, I find myself owing you a huge debt anyway and I'm risking my reputation as a god if I don't pay it back. I may have done many petty things in my life, but I also have my honor. Therefore, it is decided." she looked at him seriously.
"To repay you, I will give my active contribution to this expedition at any moment that will be deemed necessary, whether it is knowledge or direct support I will help you, especially now that I am finally healing my wounds and recovering a certain percentage of my power." she said smiling.
Accelerator accepted Othinus' offer of help, and hearing his last words a thought crossed his mind.
"Hey Othinus, speaking of power do you think I could get it back too? I'm not complaining about my current abilities at all with my fully healed brain, but could I get back the power I once had in the previous world even without my bond with Aiwass?"
Othinus put a thoughtful hand to her chin.
"That's a good question, given my experience I suppose as long as the conditions are met you could do it and recover at least half that power, albeit in a different format. Now we have to ask what resources we have at our disposal to recreate the event that transformed you?"
"All I have is the esoteric and pseudo-scientific knowledge received from that artificial angel, my intelligence, my enhanced ability and the Misaka network. I don't know if I can use the latter since it was mainly developed for a damaged brain but considering that I am still receiving signal from the network, even with the electrode in passive mode, even with my brain intact without any negative consequences, there is a possibility that with the electrode in active mode something will happen."
"Maybe we can do an experiment." the goddess suggested.
The esper shuddered at her words.
"Oops sorry, I forgot you don't feel comfortable with the term experiment. But I can assure you I won't hurt you like those stupid scientists from science city."
Accelerator snorted, technically Othinus had already killed and tortured him 10,000 times so she's probably bored with it by now.
"I don't have my full powers, but I can still do some magical tricks on a single human being. I'll place both hands on your head while I cast a spell to prevent you from taking physical harm. In the meantime, you can activate the electrode and connect to the Misaka network."
"Well." the esper agreed.
As the two braced themselves, Accelerator felt Othinus' fingers on the sides of his head as healing magic flowed through his body. If his brain were overloaded and damaged, Othinus would heal him immediately.
White wings sprouted from the esper's back as he concentrated and tried to summon the same power he used on that occasion in his duel with Othinus.
Three.
He brought his hand to the electrode.
Two.
He placed his finger on the button that connected him to the network.
One.
Click.
An otherworldly power passed through him. Similar yet different from that time.
His wings will take on a silvery color.
And his reality shattered...
.
.
... together with that of the whole world.
Accelerator's theory was nearly correct, but with slight differences that he hadn't accounted for.
Unlike the first time he ascended to level 6, power was focused on a single individual and thus with little influence on the outside world; but this time the esper was connected to the Misaka network, a psychic network of 10,000 esper sisters distributed throughout the planet, and these sisters felt the power of the network to which they were connected altered and empowered. And their collective AIM field that already surrounded the world completely affected its foundation.
The wave of power spread everywhere albeit subtly, with everyone in the world who were magically and psychically aware of the magical and scientific side sensing it, and some sensing it more than others with only a few realizing its true nature.
Elsewhere, in a hidden world beyond the phases.
"Nephthys! Did you hear?! What is this power?!" a girl in Chinese dress yelled in alarm.
"I can't tell Niang-Niang! Such a power is unheard of even for one of our kind, it seems that not only the phases but this time the pure world itself has been affected by it." the woman covered in Egyptian-style bandages said worried.
Other figures moved in the formless void of the hidden world affected differently by the sudden turn of events.
"It was those two, Othinus and that child created by Aleister who did this." said an old mummified being dressed as a priest.
"True, what do you propose to do, High Priest?" asked Nephthys.
"For now let's observe, nothing that happens there particularly affects us, but if it turns out to be a problem for us, we will deal with it accordingly."
In England in the base of the Necessarius.
Inside an old cathedral a certain Anglican archbishop cursed furiously.
"Damnation!"
Benches and furniture were thrown into the air and destroyed, such was the strength of her anger.
"What the hell was Aleister thinking?!" yelled Archbishop Laura Stuart.
She had recognized that wave of energy that had spread throughout the world. She belonged to one of Aleister Crowley's mutant children.
"This will destabilize the world even more fundamentally than Angel Fall! The sudden appearance of a third tree will change everything!"
She had never cared much for the espers of that city, none of them were really a threat to herself or the magical side in general.
Until now.
One of those children had managed to go where she would never have expected. Into a territory where no mortal had ever set foot, either through magic or through science.
"The balance of the world is in serious danger due to the machinations of that old wizard, I can no longer stand by." she told herself aloud as she regained her composure.
She loosened her hair releasing the full length. They moved in the wind lighting up.
"It seems that I will have to anticipate some of my plans. If I don't want my final objective to be destroyed, I will have to act now. Too bad, it would have been fun to keep this cover for a while longer." she said with a dark grin on her face.
Meanwhile a face with demonic features took shape in her hair.
In a windowless building.
Aleister Crowley, the self-proclaimed greatest wizard in the world grinned maniacally.
It had been a while since he had been in such a good mood.
Throughout his life he had experienced numerous failures and setbacks in his plans for revenge towards the magical side, with only in the last few years starting to give concrete shape to his ambitions, especially in the last six months thanks not only to the academy city and the clones distributed all over the world, but above all thanks to the existence of Imagine Breaker and Accelerator.
The two were the main components of his plans, having fulfilled their roles admirably over time. Even if the second had gone a bit slow, now he had caught up perfectly and even more.
He'd had a few setbacks and detours in the last couple of months, but now everything was moving perfectly.
"Very good." he murmured.
The imaginary number district had grown and become more stable, and with it had appeared a young third tree applied to reality over which Accelerator had an almost complete monopoly. And that Aleister would exploit in the future.
Aleister felt satisfied, although he had originally hoped to evolve Accelerator a little later and in a more controlled environment, this outcome was fine nonetheless.
"Everything according to plan."
A/N: And so it begins. Accelerator and Othinus will fight against the world to achieve their common goal, and will face numerous other challenges to do so.
New players appear on the board and our protagonists will have to do everything to overcome them.
If Othinus seemed a little OOC, it's because she also underwent a slight change along with Accelerator, awakening her human instincts. As previously mentioned, in this second part of the story she herself will face a redemption arc that will lead her to become a better person.
Her character will also be explored further with history, motivations ... as well as how Othinus has greatly influenced modern culture in his long existence. lol
Now several events have been set in motion with the new "awakening" of Accelerator, triggering various butterfly effects that will extend to all characters.
Thanks for following.
