"Are we just going to watch!?"
Misaka Mikoto stomped her foot on the ground, the electricity flickering in her bangs indicating her current agitation.
"Just trust your companions when necessary." Shen He calmly observed the battle in front of him, "Neither of us has the ability to control hostility. If we act rashly and get hit, we'll only cause trouble for our companions."
"So why are there such bizarre settings!" Misaka Mikoto could only shout to vent her frustration, "If that's the case, why not just set it so that you'll faint if you attack, or if you don't obey orders? Wouldn't that be even more invincible? And how exactly can you be considered hostile..."
Shen He didn't pay attention to Misaka Mikoto, who had entered a rambling mode.
He focused his attention on Index, whose state was clearly off.
Ryougi Shiki, with her body's powerful speed and intuitive reaction after self-suggestion, was constantly dodging the remote attacks that seemed like compressed air.
She had also discovered long ago that the direction of the opponent's attacks was not the same as the direction in which the hammer in her hand was swung. If it were an ordinary person, they would inevitably subconsciously dodge according to the enemy's movements, and they would be easily hit by attacks that were invisible and undetectable.
Judging by the level of destruction to the ground and buildings, a single hit from a standard enemy would usually end the fight.
However, Ryougi Shiki could see!
In her vision, everything possessed a death line; nothing was truly invisible or tangible.
But—
Even though Index was in a berserk state, she, too, had entrusted the battle to her instincts.
"Hah." A sound like a sigh.
The chains hanging from her tongue no longer swayed randomly like before, but instead spun in a spiral, as if circling a central point. Correspondingly, the surrounding wind suddenly swirled violently, forming a destructive vortex centered on her—even though it was only invisible wind, it was like a drill, wantonly shattering large areas of the ground.
Even Ryougi Shiki had to stop her continuous advance and begin to retreat.
Because in her line of sight,
the surface of this giant vortex, which one didn't know whether to call a meat grinder or a cutter, was constantly shifting as the lines of death spun and expanded.
As long as she couldn't cut into the critical lines of death, her body would be torn to shreds like the road, trees, and buildings the instant she got close.
Shen He frowned tightly.
Not only was the state wrong, but this power was also far stronger than what was shown in the original work.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration went through his mind.
"I see..." He was basically certain in his heart, "This is the Holy Grail's Berserk state."
If the appearance of Misaka Mikoto Alter was enough to prove that the Holy Grail had fallen into this world, then using the Holy Grail's power to Berserk certain characters, meaning this kind of greatly enhanced attack power with a mentally berserk state change, was also entirely possible.
Shen He held out his palm, revealing a thin card.
Beginner Limited-Time Enhancement Card.
It could enhance a Servant's strength by twenty levels for one hour.
This quite useful item card was relatively easy to obtain. He had even drawn one during a regular card draw, and Shen He currently possessed six.
He even had three Intermediate Limited-Time Enhancement Cards, which could enhance strength by forty levels, that he had obtained from silver treasure chests. Because he constantly encountered important plot characters and made crucial decisions, he had obtained more silver treasure chests than wooden ones.
Therefore, Shen He didn't hesitate.
"Saiki, pay attention to controlling the surging power!"
The card between his fingers slowly dissipated. There was no impressive transformation like a Saiyan's hair standing on end, nor the sudden gush of wind typically seen when the main character powers up. Saiki Kusuo merely closed his eyes slightly, and then, the next moment—
The surging psychokinesis was vast.
The invisible power seemed to shake the entire world.
It was completely beyond the level of ordinary explosions or shockwaves. Saiki Kusuo's psychokinesis rudely probed into the hurricane that was constantly cutting everything, and the invisible power collided with the invisible wind, emitting a sharp cry that far exceeded the range of human hearing. Even the aftershocks turned into violent blasts, hitting the road's cement and the surrounding high-rise buildings, causing large cracks to appear.
This was at least Level 5-level psychokinesis!
However, Index still seemed to be swinging her weapon without stopping, shouting meaningless roars.
"Shiki, can you see the death lines representing the Holy Grail's power?"
Seeing a clear opening in the hurricane, Shen He shouted.
Ryougi Shiki didn't reply, but her figure had already rushed out like an arrow, slashing down with her long sword.
Crack!
The hurricane stopped.
It wasn't Index herself who was killed, nor was it the Holy Grail's power that drove her berserk, but the cross pendant hanging from her tongue, the spiritual garment that controlled the wind.
Even the "Divine Punishment Technique" that extinguished malice was destroyed.
Ryougi Shiki held her longsword and gestured around the still-struggling Index a few times. The source of the other party's power was tangled together, making it impossible to distinguish which death line belonged to the Holy Grail's berserk state.
"It doesn't matter if we disable her power," Shen He ran over with Misaka Mikoto, "We need information about the Holy Grail. As long as we can bring her back to a clear state—"
Before he could finish speaking, a massive sound drowned him out.
It wasn't the sound of the high-explosive weapons exploding before, but the sound of water surging. The electrical system within Academy City had indeed been paralyzed, but the water system was still functioning. Now, a vast amount of water, difficult to describe with numbers, was breaking through the water pipes under the influence of an unknown force, smashing manhole covers, and carrying the imposing momentum of a waterfall falling from nearly a thousand meters high, brutally crashing into everything.
For a moment, deafening, continuous explosions pierced her eardrums.
There was the sound of water crashing down like standing beneath a massive waterfall, and the collapsing sound of skyscrapers hundreds of meters tall being swept away by the water.
The rain had stopped at some point. The thick cloud cover in the night sky slowly dispersed, and a thin sliver of moonlight spilled down, reflecting a crystal-clear glow in the void.
This was because a water source, large enough to form a lake, was suspended in the air in an unbelievable manner, flowing, shifting, and transforming with an aesthetic rhythm.
"What, what in the world is this..."
Misaka Mikoto no longer knew how to describe what she was seeing.
Neither the knowledge in books, nor her Psychokinesis, nor science could explain it.
Shen He didn't respond...
If Index appeared in a Berserk state...
Then what about Aqua of the Back, who is a Saint?
