Chapter 192: Chapter 191: Powerless.
AFO showed a twisted, evil grin and shouted.
"Die!"
Even though he couldn't understand the abilities of "Vector Manipulation," the All for One Quirk could barely activate its effects.
An explosive sound came from under Accelerator's foot as the Dark Lord used the All for One Quirk to simulate a bullet-like upward force.
This was the basic "propulsion" conversion of "Vector Manipulation."
But the supposedly powerless Accelerator still laughed menacingly.
"The Quirk activation failed...?!"
"How... is this possible!!!!"
AFO, who once thought he could calmly face any surprise, fell into unprecedented panic.
For AFO, the Quirk that had accompanied him for over two and a half centuries had never failed. That reliance was deep in his bones and even his soul.
But reality was cruel. It was like a devout believer suddenly being told that "God doesn't exist," causing a collapse of faith.
Because he couldn't understand it.
So, he couldn't analyze it.
Therefore, he couldn't activate it.
AFO, shaken to his core, didn't give up and muttered like a madman.
"How... how can this be!!!"
"Impossible... impossible! Activate! Activate!"
Accelerator watched with interest as the Dark Lord AFO acted like a frog being boiled alive.
Reality wouldn't change. "Vector Manipulation" was undoubtedly a true superpower.
It had to be used with "personal reality," developed through ability training to allow the user to "cut," "manifest," "map," or even fully affect reality.
Superpowers were influenced by the user's mental state and AIM field, with calculation power at the core. Mastery determined the strength of the ability.
Even if AFO had an AIM diffusion field, it wouldn't help. Calculation power was necessary to activate superpowers, like fuel for a car.
The amount of calculation power extracted from the AIM diffusion field determined the tools the user could operate, whether a car, tank, plane, fighter jet, or even a starship.
Even with AFO's mind, he showed signs of breaking down. His face turned red, and he didn't notice his rapid breathing due to tension. He waved his hands wildly and shouted hysterically.
"Darn it... darn it! What's wrong with this Quirk!"
He futilely tried to activate the poor All for One Quirk again and again.
It was like a computer system incompatibility. No matter how much AFO overexerted himself, even burning his remaining energy in a fit of rage, it had no effect.
He couldn't change the fact that he was being trampled like a dead fish.
At that moment, countless black currents like worms wrapped around him.
After several seconds of ugly struggle, the All for One Quirk barely adapted to a millionth of the power.
Like a bullet being fired, it was unclear how much energy was wasted and how much strength was burned. "Vector Manipulation" finally responded to the AFO of this world.
"Hahaha, I did it!"
With AFO's triumphant laughter, an invisible shockwave about half a meter in diameter was generated and swept towards Accelerator.
But how easily could someone handle this? Accelerator casually observed the exhausted AFO, who had barely managed to create a vector attack.
Only one vector.
The speed was painfully slow.
Eighty meters per second was the best AFO could do with his vector attack, trying to mimic Accelerator's wind control.
Such an attack was nothing to Accelerator. It was like a sharp weapon that could easily kill, but in the hands of a preschooler, even holding it was a struggle, let alone posing any threat.
To be honest, Accelerator was very disappointed. He had hoped AFO would show something different in this experiment.
How could a Dark Lord with no relevant knowledge understand that using [Vector Manipulation] to control wind requires changing its direction with one's own will? It's essentially a more complex version of multiple [Reflections].
Therefore, you must calculate both the "original direction" and the "new direction" after the wind has been affected.
In fact, to understand wind—that is, the true flow of the atmosphere—you need to perform instantaneous, complex calculations based on chaos theory, aerodynamics, atmospheric flow theory, and other knowledge.
This is far from a [Quirk], which anyone can use as long as they have it, regardless of its strength—it's like a [foolproof, all-purpose ability].
Someone wanted to observe what AFO could achieve using a Quirk to drive [Vector Manipulation], especially since the all for one Quirk has almost been fully analyzed after such a long time.
Faced with such a despairing reality, AFO, the Dark Lord, was nearly unable to bear it.
The pride of the so-called strongest darkness from the other world was being swallowed by the overwhelming gap created by reality, causing it to crumble.
And the esper known as [Accelerator] grinned wider, mocking him.
"Lowly scum, isn't my ability interesting? Hahahahaha."
"Looks like you can't understand it, huh?"
"Don't bother. This is the difference between me and trash like you."
"[Vector Manipulation] was never some rare ability (Quirk) to begin with."
At this moment, AFO, still in agony, couldn't possibly believe his words.
[This bastard! He's only slightly ahead, and yet he's trying to mock me, AFO, to such a degree? Outrageous!]
Seeing through AFO's thoughts, Accelerator sneered.
"The only reason I'm called Accelerator is because my ability just happens to be [Vector Manipulation]."
"Well, for someone like you who wastes countless time and lives just to scratch the surface of the unknown with a unique Quirk, it's no surprise you can't understand its true meaning."
