Taking a page from Omega's book, what if Touma was really OP? But not physically? |

Hey, I have a little problem that I need help on. Do I need to have read all of the Light Novels in order to make a respectable AU fic? Because most of my information is from a metric ton of wiki-walking. Is the TAMNI wiki a valid place to get information on the various story arcs? Including the SS Volumes and all that.
Please, I need to know!

reading the actual novels are only effective to see the proper context of events and character mannerisms. For proper AU, the most required is character mannerisms, quirks and what makes a them, them. Canon divergence is normal for AU so event context isn't so important unless you want to apply certain events. Wikis and actual source material are complimentary in world building so its better to have both on hand instead of one or the other.
ofcourse this is by personal opinion. |

Ah, it's a fic called To Ascend on fanfiction.net.
The main change in the AU is OP!Touma and how it influences the story line. Here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9605098/1/To-Ascend Tell me what you think of it so far. I've already made quite a few changes to the Index Arc. Don't leave any criticism out because I want to get every bit of advice that I can to make this a decent fic.

As for the super strength, it's just another aspect of his physical enhancements.

I suppose I should elaborate.
In this AU story, I am putting my own interpretation on Touma's abilities. As in, the Imagine Breaker and that power he used to suppress the Invisible Thing. That power (I am calling it the Mysterious Power) is Touma's original and true ability. He uses a slight trickle of its energy to boost his body beyond its human limits with detriments. It's one aspect of the Mysterious Power's usage. Touma can handle the power because it was his original ability and his body has grown accustomed to it. Touma doesn't bring out the more powerful aspects of his abilities unless his opponent is strong enough. But the Kiharas did try to do experiments on him. They failed to actually gain any information of relevance or any samples because Touma is indestructible, but they still tried. Does that help? Honestly, I just want to write a story where Touma is OP without screwing anything over. Well, besides the plotline anyway.

For Index having no grimoires, it would change a lot of arcs. Yamisaka Ouma would not hunt her, Aureolus would not trigger the Deep Blood Arc, hell, would Index even meet Touma? The point is, a complete AU would be needed and in-depth research would be needed to find out how much Index and her grimoires influenced the story.

Is it wrong that I can somehow imagine this idea leading to a Touma Kamijou/Laura Stuart pairing? She would be interested in how he destroyed all the grimoires and the Kami-yan disease would do the rest. Anyway, if Index loses the grimoires, then she wouldn't be kidnapped by Yamisaka or Fiamma of the Right. There is also the fact that she will basically be a defenseless girl unless someone actually decides to teach her magic.

I'm pretty sure Touma's memories would stay intact.
Laura would be pretty interested for sure because in this case, IB has grown more powerful than it ever should have. I believe that IB exists in Touma's right arm as a counter balance to the invisible thing and the mysterious power. Othinus once crushed this invisible thing saying it was disappointing. I assumed because its growth was hindered by IB. What if IB could not hinder its growth? What if all IB could do to keep the invisible thing in check was to grow along with it? This Touma would have a more extreme version of IB. So much so he has to wear an arm length glove to keep its effects on ambient supernatural to the minimum. He actually has to learn how to control the negating field due to how big and how powerful it has become. He has various forms for them which include but are not limited to: -shield -claw -armor -sword -shot -field His negating abilities have evolved to the point that he can actually negate a saint's powers and reduce them to a normal human for as long as he holds them. Assuming his IB encompasses the whole person. His greatest problem is that if he stretches IB too much, the invisible thing will attempt to escape and in the process, blow his arm from the inside out. |

Oh damn, that's a really good idea.
As for Othinus, I think the only reason she crushed the Invisible Thing is because of the whole Majin probability thing. If you factor in Touma's horrible luck, the battle would almost always go into Othinus's favor unless Touma can stop the Imagine Breaker from nullifying his luck.

Something I find interesting in the idea is that this puts Touma within a fighting chance against saints. Mind you saints are experienced combatants, Kamijou is still just a highschooler. Kanzaki is a martial artist while aqua is just plain huge. I still think it'd make for an interesting fight.

True. You forgot to add that Acqua is a veteran mercenary with possibly decades of battle experience. It would be quite an awesome fight. That thing about Touma destroying all the grimoires..... How, though? Would the Imagine Breaker destroy them through contact with Index's head? Or does Index in John's Pen Mode do something to take off Touma's right arm and the Invisible Thing removes all the knowledge from Index?
I just found something else that could happen. The Invisible Thing transfers the knowledge of the grimoires from Index to Touma. He isn't affected by the corruption because of the Imagine Breaker. This could also be the perfect way for it to evolve. The Imagine Breaker has to evolve to handle the strain of the grimoires.
