Though Aiwass still retained considerable terrifying power, compared to Morpheus, she fell far short.
Facing Morpheus's attack, Aiwass got serious but was still crushed by him.
The endless shockwave instantly pierced Aiwass's defenses, silently destroying half her body.
But at the critical moment, Aiwass deflected Morpheus's assault.
After annihilating half her body, the shockwave didn't explode Aleister behind her but pierced through the void, racing upward.
Finally vanishing into the vast starry river.
Morpheus hummed lightly, extinguishing the idea of continuing; he had no intention of killing the two.
A lesson was enough.
Then he trotted after Misaka 999 to deal with Amai Ao.
In the windowless building.
Aiwass, having lost half her body, softly said, "Restore."
In an instant, her lost half regenerated, becoming whole again.
The pierced building restored along with Aiwass's body, turning back into that complete structure.
The hole from before vanished, as if it had never existed.
More importantly, the passersby around seemed utterly unaware of the building's destruction moments ago.
As if Morpheus and Aiwass's clash had occurred in another layer of space.
Aiwass stretched her restored body, smirking at Aleister, "It seems that Magic God is quite displeased with your little schemes."
At her level of power, losing half a body was nothing; even if reduced to a single cell or thought, she could revive anew.
Death held no meaning for them.
They had long transcended the boundaries of life and death.
Aleister, as if ignoring Aiwass's teasing, calmly and steadily asked, "In that exchange, how much power did you use?"
"About seventy percent."
Aiwass said expressionlessly; if that power erupted fully, the entire Earth would be utterly shattered.
Yet it still couldn't block Morpheus's force.
"This Magic God is stronger than I imagined, so strong he doesn't seem like just a Magic God."
Aleister fell silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Suspend all experiments related to Misaka."
For now, he had no intention of clashing head-on with Morpheus; the odds of victory were too slim.
So he could only step back.
Aiwass neither agreed nor disagreed.
It had little to do with her anyway.
On the other side, under Misaka 999's guidance, Morpheus quickly found Amai Ao inside the lab.
Of course, upon entering the lab, a group of armed personnel tried to stop him; they were security hired by the lab.
But before they could act, Morpheus's aura knocked them out.
Morpheus strode into the lab and met Amai Ao.
"You..."
Amai Ao saw Misaka 999 beside Morpheus, his face full of surprise, about to say something when Morpheus snapped his fingers.
In an instant, Amai Ao vanished.
"Ah, where did the supervisor go? Misaka 999 asked curiously."
"To where he belongs," Morpheus said.
"Where does he belong? Misaka 999 asked with growing curiosity."
Morpheus replied, "The sun."
For such disposable trash, it was best to burn it clean, so Morpheus teleported him to a near-solar orbit; by now, Amai Ao should be ashes.
A hint of confusion appeared on Misaka 999's expressionless face.
"Though not fully understanding, Misaka 999 will try to comprehend, Misaka 999 said helplessly."
Morpheus raised his hand to Misaka 999's forehead and rubbed it vigorously. "If you can't understand, don't bother. Misaka 999, would you like to become my follower?"
"A follower means someone who believes in a deity? Misaka 999 asked in surprise."
"Correct."
"So you mean you're a deity? Misaka 999 asked in astonishment."
Though she said that, her face showed no surprise, only calm.
"Sort of. I'm Morpheus, the Extra-Dimenisional Demon."
Misaka 999 tilted her head, looking at Morpheus. "Misaka 999 doesn't understand what a Extra-Dimenisional Demon is, Misaka 999 said with a helpless expression."
Morpheus said, "As I said, it's fine if you don't understand. Just become my follower."
Misaka 999 thought for a moment and nodded. "You're a good person. Misaka 999 is willing to become your follower, Misaka 999 decided to believe in you."
Morpheus smiled and placed his hand on Misaka 999's head, infusing her with a vast amount of light power.
With this light power, Misaka 999 compensated for her defects and could live until the Earth exploded without issue.
"The power I'm giving you is called light power. You can share it with your siblings. With this power, you'll all have long lifespans and won't die early."
Misaka 999's eyes brightened. "Misaka 999 is greatly shocked and eagerly wants to ask if this is true?"
"Truer than true," Morpheus said.
A smile bloomed on Misaka 999's face, vastly different from her previous blank expression.
This was because Morpheus's light power was gradually turning the Misaka Sisters into normal people, granting them normal emotions.
No longer just emotionless expendables.
After Amai Ao's death, Morpheus smoothly took over the lab, releasing all remaining Misaka Sisters and healing them one by one.
But releasing over 20,000 Misaka Sisters at once wasn't realistic.
So after discussing with Misaka 999, Morpheus planned to transfer most of the Misaka Sisters to his light dimension, letting them live there.
Misaka 999 shared this via the Misaka Network with all the Sisters, and most agreed.
Only a few wanted to stay in Academy City.
The reason was simple and straightforward: they wanted to meet their onee-san.
The so-called onee-san was, of course, their original, Misaka Mikoto.
Morpheus wouldn't refuse such a small request and readily agreed.
Thus, Morpheus left the lab with the remaining hundred-plus Misaka Sisters, heading grandly toward Tokiwadai Middle School, where Railgun Misaka Mikoto attended classes.
