Chapter 73: Vector Manipulation

[Vector Manipulation lv1 (1/100): Controls the direction of most vectors, thereby creating fictional vector axes, including force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, impulse, momentum, electric field strength, magnetic induction strength, etc.!]

The initial stages of unlocking this template are relatively easy. As energy was channeled through his body, the template fusion level instantly reached 1%, and Alex thus unlocked a new skill.

Seeing the new character template and new skill, Alex was quite satisfied.

Although it wasn't the type of character that could destroy the world at the drop of a hat, Accelerator was still incredibly powerful.

(PS: Accelerator - Normal State)

His superpower's essence is vector manipulation, allowing him to control all vectors, and as long as he understands the force, he can reflect it. If he understands divine abilities, he can even slay gods.

Additionally, he possesses advanced abilities called the "Awakening" in the form of Wings.

The "Unknown Wings" have four forms: Black Wings, White Wings, Colorless Wings, and Platinum Wings, each increasing in power.

The Unknown Wings can fully enhance Accelerator's capabilities, significantly boosting his strength. Even the White Wings alone surpass most saints!

But the Unknown Wings are not Accelerator's final form. His ultimate stage is the Abyss State, where he transcends the abyss, connects with the collective consciousness of the Magic and the Misaka Network, and grasps the power of the Third Tree!

In this Abyss State, he can even unleash a 'spear' that can erase the immortality of even magic gods!

It should be noted that in the "A Certain Magical Index" universe, a magic god is akin to a god, omnipotent and immortal, and Accelerator can rival such a being in the Abyss State, demonstrating the immense strength of his power.

Therefore, Accelerator's strength far exceeds that of Satoru Gojo, making the difficulty of increasing the fusion rate of his character template significantly higher than that of Gojo's.

However, Alex was not worried. With the Infinity Stones at his disposal, he was limited not by energy but by the speed of energy absorption.

As long as he continued to absorb energy from the Infinity Stones, he would eventually unlock Accelerator's character template to 100%.

He was already looking forward to the next character template!

Alex retrieved another symbiote with its consciousness erased from his pocket space and controlled it to cover his body, forming clothing.

This specially modified symbiote had none of the weaknesses of an ordinary symbiote. It was resistant to fire and sound waves and granted its host enhanced physical qualities and regenerative capabilities.

If an ordinary person were to bond with the symbiote, they would immediately become a Spider-Man-level hero.

But even though the symbiote was already quite powerful compared to mortals, during the battle between Alex and Phoenix, it was easily annihilated by the overwhelming power of matter disintegration!

The difference between the symbiote and Alex was as vast as the gap between it and a mere mortal, representing absolute suppression.

Thinking about Phoenix, Alex felt a bit regretful. The Phoenix Force within this universe's Phoenix was noticeably weaker, but even a small fragment could display such power, piquing his curiosity about the Phoenix Force.

He was also curious about where this fragment of the Phoenix Force would end up—could it be absorbed by another Phoenix in a parallel universe?

...

Mr. Fantastic, The Leader, and Ivan Vanko watched the images transmitted by the surveillance satellite, falling silent.

Beside them, Colonel Stryker slammed his fist on the table in front of him, knocking over the items on the surface, which rolled onto the ground.

He couldn't understand why, despite deploying both Sentinel robots and the X-Men, they still failed to kill the White-Haired Mutant!

He was even more puzzled as to why the White-Haired Mutant's power was growing so quickly!

When they first discovered him, he couldn't even fully absorb the kinetic energy of an ordinary punch. But after a period of growth, he could now defeat 200 Sentinel robots and the X-Men!

This rapid growth rate was truly terrifying!

Since the discovery of mutants, there had never been such a case!

Suppressing his anger, he asked the three scientists behind him:

"Do any of you have other ways to kill the White-Haired Mutant?"

The three remained silent. The White-Haired Mutant's growth rate had already surpassed their development speed.

Just like the recent ambush, the previous version of the White-Haired Mutant would have been easily killed by Phoenix, but now, with his exponentially increased strength, even Phoenix with the Phoenix Force was powerless against him and was easily defeated!

Finally, Mr. Fantastic stepped forward. After some hesitation, he revealed his plan:

"I have one last plan, but it carries enormous risks. I would never use it unless absolutely necessary."

Mr. Fantastic's words gave Stryker hope, and even The Leader and Ivan Vanko were intrigued.

Over their period of collaboration, they had come to realize that Mr. Fantastic was the smartest among them. However, even his knowledge was exhausted by the Sentinels and energy swords that could break through the White-Haired Mutant's defenses.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Fantastic still had another backup plan, which was beyond their expectations!

Seeing the three focus their attention on him, Mr. Fantastic finally decided to reveal his plan:

"I've been researching a device that allows for parallel universe travel to summon my counterparts from other universes!

If I and my counterparts work together to develop technology specifically against the White-Haired Mutant, we might be able to outpace his growth and kill him!

However, this device is almost uncontrollable. The counterpart summoned could be a lawful version of Reed like me or a completely insane Reed!"

Colonel Stryker fell silent. If the plan succeeded, they might be able to kill the White-Haired Mutant, but if it failed and summoned a mad scientist version of Mr. Fantastic, the situation would worsen!

At this point, The Leader proposed a different suggestion:

"Why not keep Mr. Fantastic's plan as the final contingency? For now, we could try my plan."

"Your plan?"

"Because gamma radiation created both me and the Hulk, I've had a theory, a plan.

It involves combining the energy of cosmic rays with gamma radiation to create a giant stronger than the Hulk. I call it the Red Hulk Project

If you all help me combine the Red Hulk Project with the Sentinel Program and use multiple arc reactors to power the Red Hulk with enhanced mutant abilities, along with a mutant suppression device, a spatial disruption device, and Mr. Fantastic's recently developed material disintegration energy sword, we could create a monster strong enough to rival that monster

And since this one is our creation, it will be under our control!

Even with the White-Haired Mutant's growth speed, he will not be able to match the Red Hulk we've jointly developed!"

Colonel Stryker's face lit up with excitement, and he was about to agree when Ivan Vanko softly remarked:

"Have you forgotten that the White-Haired Mutant's growth speed is still accelerating?"
