While shouting inwardly that things were going badly, Lin Wuming continued to manipulate the sand waterfall to crush the new round of God's Power's offensive.
His movements and Nen not only didn't restrain, but became even more wild, to the point where he could even suppress God's Power's attacks.
— The side effects are severe, but my strength has indeed increased significantly because of it.
Since things had come to this, Lin Wuming simply abandoned his concerns about his "body" and intensified his offensive.
His opponent was an angel; there was no room for distraction or retreat in battle.
Seeing no signs of remorse from Lin Wuming, Misaka Worst was extremely annoyed and slammed the car horn.
However, on the endlessly vast battlefield between the sea and the sky, the roar of an ambulance seemed so insignificant.
As if abandoning everything and fighting for his life, Lin Wuming launched an unprecedentedly massive offensive.
For a moment, his presence even overshadowed the Saint Kanzaki Kaori, making him God's Power's primary target.
Waves and sand curtains collided fiercely and intertwined on this vast battlefield.
Finally, after Kanzaki Kaori seized the opportunity to unleash several "Yui Sen" attacks, God's Power was repelled for the first time since the battle began.
The sand waterfall pushed back into the sea's domain.
God's Power was also forced to regroup, mobilizing seawater to reform the "Angel's Wings."
At least for the next moment, God's Power would not be able to launch a new offensive.
Seeing this, Lin Wuming was satisfied and shouted loudly, "Shokuhou!"
"Runzi-jie! Now!" Shokuhou Misaki had already prepared, sending the signal via phone immediately.
Immediately after, the distant night sky was illuminated by a brilliant blue light.
A powerful lightning bolt descended from the sky, its light piercing through heaven and earth, obliterating a certain area into a blank space.
Lin Wuming's attention was also drawn, and he couldn't help but look towards the direction of the lightning strike; when he looked back, God's Power was no longer visible on the sea surface.
In the sky, the giant moon returned to its normal size as a crescent, and the sky full of magic circles once again transformed into sparse starlight.
Looking down again, Shokuhou Misaki, Hu Feng Toumi, and Misaka Worst were all their true selves, not the strange pairings from before.
— The chaotic effects of Angel Fall had been dispelled.
"It's over..."
Lin Wuming breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, excruciating pain, originating from his head and all over his body, deep into his bones, overwhelmed his consciousness.
The long-lost "sensation" had returned; Lin Wuming knew that he had finally returned to his body.
After hastily saying "Sorry" to Kamijou Touma, Shokuhou Misaki and Hu Feng Toumi jumped into the car, urging Misaka Worst to return to Academy City immediately.
Because of his reckless actions during the previous battle, Lin Wuming now had to bear the consequences—his body suffered a backlash and was almost on the verge of collapse.
Only Heaven Canceller could save his life.
...
As long as Heaven Canceller was there, his life would surely be saved!
Lin Wuming firmly believed this in his heart, so despite constantly coughing up blood, he subconsciously showed a relaxed expression.
— At least, this crisis was finally over.
It's good to be alive, to be able to stay in this world... it's good!
Accompanied by this heartfelt sense of relief, Lin Wuming truly fell into a peaceful sleep...
"Don't worry, Lin Wuming is truly just asleep this time," Heaven Canceller reassured repeatedly at the Hospital. "This is also the body's self-protection mechanism. I believe that when he wakes up, he'll be completely recovered."
"But when will Student Wuming wake up?" Huangquanchuan Aisui asked.
Last night, Huangquanchuan Aisui had to work, so she didn't join in the mischief, letting these young girls "smuggle" Lin Wuming out of Academy City.
As a result, late at night, Shokuhou Misaki and the others rushed back to the Hospital, shouting for a doctor.
Although according to Shokuhou Misaki—"The incident has been resolved, and Senior Wuming has recovered"—no one who saw Lin Wuming covered in blood and unconscious could possibly believe her words, could they?
It was only because Shokuhou Misaki, with her Mental Out, guaranteed it with her reputation and esper ability, plus Hu Feng Toumi also testifying, that they barely managed to convince everyone and keep others calm.
Now, the doctor's diagnosis also confirmed Shokuhou Misaki's statement, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Only Huangquanchuan Aisui, as Lin Wuming's Guardian, still felt uneasy.
Because of her busy work since the summer vacation, Huangquanchuan Aisui's time with Lin Wuming had actually decreased.
Unlike those girls who spent almost every day with Lin Wuming, a certain distance had developed between Huangquanchuan Aisui and Lin Wuming, despite living under the same roof.
It was precisely because of this distance that Huangquanchuan Aisui's feelings were particularly noticeable—the frequency and number of times Lin Wuming came to the Hospital recently were simply too exaggerated.
She didn't know how many times Huangquanchuan Aisui had returned home late at night, only to find the house empty.
Upon closer inquiry—Lin Wuming was at the Hospital, and Hu Feng Toumi went to accompany him...
How could any Guardian endure this?
No wonder Huangquanchuan Aisui was putting pressure on the doctor at this moment.
However, Heaven Canceller was also a seasoned veteran, not at all intimidated by the Guards' deterrent force.
"Don't worry, he'll wake up naturally once he's rested," Heaven Canceller replied somewhat nonchalantly.
After all, in his opinion, Lin Wuming's current condition didn't require his intervention at all; it was simply lacking in challenge.
— As his esper ability level increased, Lin Wuming's control over his own body also grew. Many injuries could be handled sufficiently by his body's self-healing alone.
Heaven Canceller had no interest in patients who could recover even if left untreated.
"You should think of it this way," but considering the destructive power of the group of women in front of him, and to avoid unnecessary losses to the Hospital, Heaven Canceller added, "Lin Wuming seems to have been very busy recently, and it's time for him to get some good rest—now, isn't this the best time?"
The reason the doctor casually made up instantly convinced everyone present.
"Th-that's true," Huangquanchuan Aisui nodded thoughtfully. "This child really needs a good rest."
Summer vacation was supposed to be a time for relaxation and rest, so why was he always so stressed?
"Indeed," Misaka Mikoto also agreed, "If it weren't for him being in a coma like this because of his injuries..."
Hu Feng Toumi nodded and continued, "Wuming would definitely not be able to stay still and would immediately get involved in other inexplicable incidents, wouldn't he?"
Thinking about it this way, Lin Wuming being forced into a coma due to injury this time didn't seem like a bad thing after all.
