Will of the Whole Misaka Network

“The Sister I just barely missed saving...”

“That’s right /return. But /backspace, I’m technically only borrowing her body, so you
have no reason to blame yourself over this /return. Still /backspace, we all form a single
large will together, so anything I say is the same as hearing it from her /return.”

“Wait a second. Do you mean...?”

The Sisters.

That large number of military clones.

A single large will formed from all of them.

“This is the first time you’ve actually met me, but you’ve done a lot for my physical
terminals /return.”

“She” bowed her head as she spoke.

“I am the large will created by the whole of the Misaka Network /return. Nice to meetcha☆
/return.”

Her short hair glowed white as if coming apart at the ends.

Her body was a borrowed one. It belonged to #10031.

Something invisible scattered as if peeling away from that physical body.

The Will had actually had a much faster way of motivating that boy to fight.

She was a thought entity created in part from what was learned in the deaths of over half
the 20,000 clones.

By saving all of the clones, Othinus had greatly twisted the Will’s form.

As things were, her very existence would not be erased, but she would change into
“something else” as if the data were being overwritten.

And so she had only needed to say one thing.

Please save me before this world crushes me.

(But it would have been all over if I had said that /return.)

That would likely have been enough for the boy to tightly clench his right fist. No matter
how many enemies it would have made, he would have willingly accepted the burden of
all those sins to save the Will.

Also, she was an existence created by gathering the consciousnesses and egos of more
than 20,000 Sisters. She had recorded their state of mind in their final moments and
perhaps even for a few seconds after their deaths. In other words, the idea that “only the
dead could truly understand the feelings of the dead” did not apply to her. The Will could
have lessened the burden on Kamijou Touma’s heart by drawing on the feelings of the
Sisters and telling him what they had been thinking.
