Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Reencounter and Rematch (3)

Gemstone.

There are only about 50 natural Ability Users left in the entire world. They do not need to use calculation power to activate their abilities; they activate them on a whim, and the underlying principles are shrouded in mystery.

Sogiita Gunha's [Psychokinetic Cannonball]

Tsumi Mua's [Plant Body]

Himegami Aisa's [Deep Blood]

Chinatsu could not become stronger by trying to increase her calculation power. Instead, she needed to constantly understand the essence of her abilities and firmly grasp the core of her power in her hands.

She absolutely could not use a "rocket launcher" like a "club." Even if she lacked proficiency and needed to expend more energy and stamina, she still had to use the rocket launcher as intended and fire a rocket.

Chinatsu had more or less grasped this essential point. In her previous use of her abilities, she had fallen into a misconception: even though her ability was of the Gemstone type, she had been using it in a way that was not much different from Kakine Teitoku's Dark Matter.

[Gravity Manipulation]

[Force Field Manipulation]

[Field Creation]

In the exploration of her own abilities, Chinatsu had already taken these three steps, and now she was about to take the fourth.

"Empty Shell Field, construct."

With her eyes closed, Chinatsu calmly raised a palm with fingers spread toward Accelerator in mid-air, concentrating her entire being on mobilizing her ability.

"Hmm?"

Accelerator glanced suspiciously at his surroundings. He vaguely felt that something had changed around him, but his Reflection Shield had not detected any danger.

Empty Shell Field.

As the name suggests, it only created a rough framework without any settings inside. Within this framework, Chinatsu could set the concept of the field.

Last time, when Chinatsu created a defensive field called Absolute Territory, she had racked her brains because she had subconsciously referenced the AT Field from the EVA series.

Chinatsu had tried to create the effects of an AT Field, so she racked her brains to imitate it. In the end, she didn't succeed and only created a field with strong defensive properties.

Because that was a misconception.

Why should she, a Gemstone of the Creation type, need to logically, harmoniously, and meticulously conceive the intermediate process like the scientific ability of Dark Matter?

Chaotic yet stable.

Disordered yet ordered.

It was just like a line of inexplicable program code that was running stably. Was there any need to obsess over why it could function normally?

For instance, right now, Chinatsu wanted to create a field that could slow down or even restrain Accelerator's movements. She didn't need to conceive how powerful this field was in order to restrain Accelerator.

Keep it simple, even simpler.

Simply creating a field with the concept of "can restrain Accelerator's movements" was enough. Casting aside all complex conceptions, she pursued the ultimate in simplicity and purity.

Suddenly, Accelerator felt an inexplicable sense of crisis from Chinatsu. Hovering in mid-air, he decisively used the tornado behind him to boost himself toward Chinatsu.

Just as his outstretched palm was about to touch Chinatsu's body, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the minimalist field formed at an astonishing speed.

Accelerator's palm finally stopped less than 10 centimeters away from Chinatsu's body, and his entire body was left suspended in the air, unable to move.

On the other hand, Chinatsu raised a hand to cover her head and gasped for air. The stamina consumed by this minimalist creation, which cast aside all cumbersome details, far exceeded her expectations.

When Chinatsu slowly stepped out of Accelerator's attack trajectory, the restraining field suddenly disappeared, and Accelerator, continuing his dash forward, ended up grabbing at thin air.

"What just happened?"
