Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 114

The orange-haired boy arrogantly flicked his bangs, opened his eyes, and prepared to leave this place.

Before he could even take two steps, he stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the scene before him.

Among the crowd who should have been knocked unconscious by the electric shock, a woman stood unharmed. The traces of the electric current disappeared automatically when they touched her body, as if they had never existed, or as if they had been erased by some supreme force.

Is this a premonition of illness?

The girl with long, straight black hair was so engrossed in her ramblings that she didn't notice the boy's attack at all. But in the instant the electricity was released, she reached out and wiped away the current that was radiating towards her!

He looks like he's a pro at quick-scoping.

Pendragon, witnessing this strangely familiar scene, finally realized what kind of world he had entered—

Academy City! And it's a gender-swapped, matriarchal world.

These parallel universes are definitely toxic.

However… from another perspective, this version of A Certain Magical Index seems quite exciting. Of course, viewers of A Certain Scientific Railgun might not have a very good experience.

After all, Misaka Mikoto is my wife. What was that just now? Misaka Mikoto? Misaka Master? Or perhaps the Thunder King, Magnetic Storm Infantry, or Professor Sheep?

Pendragon wasn't interested in the gender-swapped Misaka Mikoto, but he was really pretty as a mother. She was even more alluring than Kirito. After finding out that she was the mother, Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) stood on end!

The information gathered by the quantum computer through the network further confirmed Pendragon's guess: this is a matriarchal world, and the three of them have the same status as the men in the previous world.

A very handsome man might attract strange looks from others if he acts too intimately.

In short, let's book a hotel first.

It's already evening, so I need to find a place to stay. I'll go shopping at the mall tomorrow.

The spaceship modified by Pendragon, along with their luggage, disappeared into the spacetime tunnel. Perhaps it turned into a planet, or perhaps into a monster; in any case, it's unlikely to be found. It's better to buy something ready-made here.

School uniforms will never go out of style.

The incident ended with the person involved leaving, and the person who was knocked unconscious was naturally dealt with by the disciplinary committee members who arrived later.

The management in Academy City is even stricter than in China; only one person can register for a room with one ID card, and the prices are not cheap.

Pendragon, as usual, used gold bars to pave the way and, with the help of hypnosis, finally managed to check in smoothly. He also asked the waiter to exchange some cash for use the next day.

In Academy City, natural hot springs are out of the question; at most, there are some public bathhouses, and you have to share with other people. The hotel is even worse; it only has a bathtub and a shower, which is nothing compared to their previous accommodations.

However, Rin Tohsaka and the others weren't too picky; they were happy to take a hot bath to relieve their fatigue.

While they were taking a bath, Pendragon was still fiddling with her personal terminal. Although her mental hypnosis could handle all sorts of situations, she couldn't hypnotize herself for everything. It would be more convenient to create a fake identity for herself and the others through the internet.

Although this is Academy City, due to the timeline, most areas are still covered by 2G signals, except for some dedicated networks, and the network speed is ridiculously slow.

Pendragon's optical computer extended outwards through the mobile signal coverage here, quickly connecting to a higher-level public telephone network, allowing it to access more information.

Just as electrical ability users can use their abilities to hack into higher-level networks and steal information, Pendragon's quantum computer uses even more advanced technology. It doesn't require a medium; it can simply overlay the message signal to complete the cracking.

In just a few seconds, the computer, with its incredibly powerful computing capabilities, penetrated layer by layer and entered the Academy City's high-level network without even triggering any defense mechanisms. It could see the experimental plans and progress of most research institutes, including superpower development and experimental plans, medical technology innovations, and secret weapon research.

Pendragon had no interest in these things; she just wanted a fake ID and quickly found the module she needed.

Hmm... After glancing at the other students' information, she realized that the personal details here were too detailed, making it a bit of a brain drain to compile. So she searched for a template with very little external information, infiltrated the internal network of the Long Point Computer Academy, changed the information of herself and the other two to top secret, registered them under a pseudonym, and became ghost students like Accelerator.

The information indicates they belong to this school, but they never attend.

Oh, the database at the long-term test site doesn't contain Accelerator's information; instead, it contains information about Yuriko Suzushina, the No.1 in Academy City.

Oh, Moses Roy.

The student ID was used to have the school send a package to the hotel by courier. After Pendragon finished doing all that, he put away his personal computer, took a shower, and went to sleep.

The next day, after dinner, Pendragon took the paper bag full of cash from the waiter and took Rin Tohsaka and Lily to a nearby shopping mall to go shopping and give them a lesson on the basics of Academy City.

For example, the trash cans that automatically clean up litter on the roadside are cleaning robots, while another type that looks the same but doesn't sweep is a security model used to maintain order. Wind turbines need no explanation, and airships floating in the sky will refresh weather forecasts and various important notices.

Rin Tohsaka isn't interested in these tech products; she can do these things with magic. She really struggles with electronic devices, even fiddling with the buttons on an air conditioner remote, which is surprisingly cute.

P.S.: My silly owner quit his job to write a novel, so I have to write at least two chapters for him every day. If I want canned food, I have to write extra chapters. He's such a beast!

Chapter 194 Purifying the Gods and Exorcising Demons

Chapter 194

Lily was amazed. Although she had even ridden in more technologically advanced spaceships, Pendragon had made the interior of the spaceship almost like a natural environment, completely lacking the sci-fi feel of Academy City.

Pendragon, expressionless, carried the money bag and led them shopping in the mall. Girls need more things, and by the time they had bought most of them, a whole morning had passed.

Miss Rin bought crepes of various flavors, and the three of them sat on a bench in front of the green belt, resting and enjoying their pre-meal dessert.

"boom!"

Rin Tohsaka was picking out strawberries from a crepe and feeding them to Pendragon, an action that attracted the attention of some passing yaoi fans, who watched their interaction with excited expressions and rapid breathing.

However, the BL fans, whose attention was entirely focused on the lesbian couple, hadn't had enough of the sweet scene when they were startled by a sudden explosion coming from the green belt.

"Where did these firecrackers come from?"

The sound just now came from the green belt behind their chairs. As Pendragon bit off the strawberry, he also put Rin's finger in his mouth with his lips, licked off the cream on it, and then turned around. In the green belt, he saw the destroyed and blown plants, as well as half of a deformed soda can at the center of the explosion.

"What is this? A prank?!"

The still-shaken boy immediately pulled out his flip phone to contact the "chicken-clamping maid." Although no one was injured, the power of the explosion still posed a certain danger, especially in a crowded place, where the safety hazard was significant. Contacting law enforcement was perfectly reasonable.

Pendragon glanced back briefly, finished his crepe, and then led Rin and Lily to the restaurant for a proper meal.

Since the majority of people in Academy City are students, only a minority of wealthy individuals can enjoy substantial subsidies from research institutes. Therefore, it's difficult to find upscale hotels, but there are plenty of luxury desserts available.

Pendragon found a highly-rated family restaurant on his personal computer to tide him over for now. He planned to find a house later in the afternoon to fix up the kitchen. Rin's cooking was still the best.

Since it was almost summer vacation and it was lunchtime, the restaurant was already full. The waiter said they could arrange for them to share a table with a girl.

Since they were girls, there was nothing to mind, and Pendragon and the others nodded in agreement. Of course, in this worldview, three girls probably wouldn't find any boys to share a table with.

However, even Pendragon did not expect such a coincidence. The person sharing the table with them was an acquaintance from last night, the long-haired girl with black hair who had gone to rescue someone but ended up running away in a sorry state.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Since they were going to share a table, they greeted each other.

However, the black-haired girl was clearly stunned by the trio's good looks. Like most people in the restaurant, she couldn't help but glance in their direction, and quite a few of them secretly took pictures.

There's no way around it, divine looks appeal to both men and women, okay? Pendragon and Lily's Saber-like faces are beautiful even to humans, and Rin is no less stunning. She's popular even in matriarchal worlds where girls are treated like boys.

Feeling a bit bored while waiting for the food, the girl with long, straight black hair started to strike up a conversation with them. Of course, the first thing to do was to exchange names, which Pendragon found quite interesting, despite maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor on the surface.

"Purify the spirit and vanquish the demon."

What an arrogant name! I originally thought Pendragon would be something like Touma Kamijou, which would be a good match for Yuriko Suzushina, wouldn't it?

Rin was the one who initiated the conversation, Pendragon started reading after saying his name, and Lily wasn't very interested in talking.

The food at the family restaurant was alright, nothing special. Having gotten used to the previous world, Pendragon didn't even finish a single serving, showing a normal appetite for a girl, which made Rin's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Sorry for the wait, here comes your bitter melon and snail lasagna."

"..."

As expected of the main character, her extraordinary and unique qualities are evident even from the menu alone. Goodbye.

Pendragon and his companions had to find a house with a kitchen in the afternoon, fill their stomachs, and then leave immediately with their bags and belongings.

Incidentally, this gender-swapped Purifying God Demon-Slaying Right Hand can erase demonic power and psychic power, but its upper limit has not been tested so it is unknown.

As for the house, Pendragon hacked the network again using his personal computer and found that there was a house for rent near the dormitory of the God of Purification and Demon Extermination, so he rented it directly.

Students in Academy City all have student dormitories arranged by the school. Pendragon created false identities for himself and the others, so they could naturally move into the dormitory at the Long Point Academy, which was even better than the one they were currently renting.

But the renovations aren't important, since Pendragon will definitely have to rebuild it himself anyway. The key is that living here might provide some excitement every day, which would be a good diversion until the ship is completely rebuilt.

Once the move was confirmed, Pendragon began a vigorous renovation project, starting by enlarging the interior space several dozen times over.

Although a sea view is unnecessary since I don't know how long I'll be staying here, a Japanese-style garden and a natural hot spring are a must.

The light from the three gems of reality, time, and space kept flashing, and the scene in Pendragon's vision gradually became reality.

Combining some of the furnishings from Rin and Lily's homes, everyone was very satisfied with the new place. It had everything from a dojo to a magic workshop, and once the spaceship was built, they could even move the interior space directly into it.

Speaking of spaceships, the issue of materials alone is enough to give Pendragon a headache. If it were to be created entirely using Reality Stones, who knows how many servings of black bean paste it would take to complete it.

Let's see if there are any alternative materials here. Anyway, if she wants to build the power room, she'll have to make that material herself.

After all, the power room of her modified spaceship was made of the Infinity Gauntlet material, a divine artifact capable of withstanding the full power burst of all six Infinity Stones!

Although this world has gods and angels, it seems there are no dwarves who can forge weapons for the gods, and the possibility of finding a replacement is slim.

Pendragon had just finished setting up the kitchen when Lady Rin couldn't wait to take her money and head out to the supermarket to buy groceries and prepare dinner.

Lily took off her shoes and sat quietly in the dojo. The familiar feeling even made her think she was back home.

P.S.: Extra chapter failed, no canned food, goodnight!

Chapter 195 It turns out he was a male cultivator.

Chapter 195

Since Rin goes to the supermarket to buy groceries every day, the probability of encountering the Shinigami Exorcist is relatively high, even though the Shinigami always comes at specific times to snatch discounted items.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Pendragon still hadn't found the materials to build the spaceship. As a result, the construction period began to be delayed indefinitely, and he indulged in slacking off, occasionally acting as Lily's sparring partner.

"Huh? Why is the power out?"

After dinner, Pendragon temporarily put aside the matter of building the spaceship and sat on the sofa with Rin in his arms watching a supernatural variety show. Suddenly, the screen went black, and the air conditioner that was blowing cool air stopped working.

"It's okay, I'll go take care of it."

Pendragon kissed Rin's forehead and got up to go to the circuit switch.

I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a bolt of lightning striking the bridge in the distance, connecting the clouds and the earth, and realized the reason for the power outage.

Considering that this area might frequently experience various attacks in the future, leading to inconveniences such as water and power outages, Pendragon decisively separated his own electrical circuits and built a steel arc reactor as his power source.

For civilian use, the electricity generated by the materials in this reactor would be enough for them to use for hundreds of years.

When Pendragon returned to the living room, Miss Rin had already opened a new box of baked potato chips and was munching on them. Upon seeing Pendragon return, she immediately began feeding her.

The following morning, after enjoying the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Rin, Pendragon went to the balcony to hang up the laundry. She had originally intended to take the opportunity to check if there were any strange things hanging on the balcony of the house across the street, which belonged to the Shinigami Touma.

As soon as I opened the French windows, I saw a strange white scroll hanging on the railing of my balcony in a rather dangerous position.

Is this strange thing a nun? Pendragon lifted the person off the railing with one hand and found that she had a very beautiful face, long, smooth silver hair, fair and delicate skin, and was wearing a nun's habit with gold trim that was very cute.

Without saying a word, Pendragon reached out and pressed his hand against the other's chest, then squeezed it as if to confirm.

"Oh, so it's Xiu Nan."

She's just cute.

But why is this list of banned books being displayed on my own balcony instead of the balcony of the neighbor's Pure God Exorcising Demon? Has fate begun to change?

"hungry……"

"..."

"I'm...hungry."

The boy, held in Pendragon's arms, let out a longing call. She must have come drawn by the aroma, attracted by the food Rin had prepared.

Just as Catalogue of Forbidden Books was trembling and preparing to wake up, Pendragon swiftly brought his knife down on the back of his neck, physically inducing sleep.

Go see your true love.

Pendragon tossed the package with deadly precision, landing it on the railing of the opposite balcony, his accomplishment remaining a secret.

Since this guy is also a notorious glutton, Pendragon has no intention of taking him in, so he can only do a good deed and help his neighbor solve his single problem.

"what happened?"

Rin, who was clearing the dishes, heard the noise and poked her head out of the house.

"fine."

Pendragon quickly hung up his clean clothes and locked the French windows on the balcony.

"It's so hot!"
