All of this was caused by... just the Demon God's casual words "I want to completely crush your will".
More than just a hunt.
Even the horizon was completely changed by the fiery red color.
Kamijou Touma was running around almost breathlessly.
In the end, he leaned against a telephone pole on the roadside, gasping for breath, but the devil's teasing words rang in his ears.
Facing Kamijou Touma's accusation.
She just smiled and then continued.
She changed some things, but not everything.
All she changed was everyone's opinion, that's all.
This is just... the initial test...
And these outrageous declines are just a small part of the many problems she has set.
Even more terrifying, they appeared one after another...
"I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening!!"
The boy tried to understand the demon's reasons, but unfortunately... he failed as expected.
At this moment, he couldn't calm down enough to think about what this demon wanted to do.
Only anger was brewing in my heart. Looking at this world that was gradually becoming chaotic and unfamiliar, I fell into an unprecedented rage.
And his mental journey...begins with the moment he witnesses the world being overturned.
The waves were surging and constantly changing, just like an endless tide, and his mentality was also changing with each scene.
In fact, at the beginning, he had also thought about whether the demon god Othinus had any other intentions in doing this...
Chapter 191. So he decided to punch Othinus
The world he experienced was being transformed at will by the woman in front of him.
No matter what changes happen, they are just based on her thoughts.
Even if you play with other people's minds and change the world into something they would never recognize or agree with.
All of this...is still not difficult for this woman who is a demon.
In the final analysis——
It was all up to her.
That's right, the strong can do whatever they want.
This is an eternal truth. There is no shortage of cases in this world where the strong humiliate the weak.
However, this is probably the only example that has been laid bare on the table.
No... not the first case.
But from beginning to end.
Except for this case right before our eyes.
When Kamijou Touma in front of the screen saw this, he felt despair inside, without any room for maneuver or refutation.
No matter if it was the bastard No. 1 who once clamored to become level 6, or the group of magicians who tried to obtain Index for various selfish desires.
Then, even the unruly guy called Right Fire was the same.
Everyone wanted to do this unscrupulously, but everyone was saved in the end by this guy who had the misfortune to act as the savior.
But that's exactly why.
When an enemy appears that even he has no way to fight against.
All of this came to nothing.
No matter the high-profile chairman of Academy City who had appeared in the video, or the top leaders like the Puritan Archbishop, facing the wanton actions of this demon god, they did not take any action at all, but just watched indifferently.
It is because of this that everything in this world seems so absurd.
The strong ones are never the ones in the hot-blooded anime who are fully committed to their responsibilities, but rather they are cold and arrogant and indifferent to everything.
But...why did this demon god Othinus do this?
Since she could so easily tear apart her right hand, which made her famous.
Then how should I deal with her?
Something is wrong... I always feel like something is wrong...
If everything is really so casual.
Why then——
'Yes! Why must she let me destroy myself in pain...'
Kamijou Touma could never figure this out.
Look at the demon girl standing casually on the telephone pole in the video.
He was at a complete loss.
And I am completely confused.
But it will come to an end.
The person who actually asked this question was not himself.
"By the way, if she could tear your right hand apart so easily, why did this guy have to do these inexplicable things to you!"
I don't know when it started.
Misaka Mikoto, who also walked into the simulation space, stared blankly at the scenes in front of her. As she watched the conversation between Kamijou Touma and Othinus, the questions that emerged in her mind were revealed.
Next to her, the honey-blond psychic Shokuhou Misaki was also watching the scene with great interest, a gentle smile on her lips, but she had no intention of getting involved and simply nodded at Kamijou Touma.
Unfortunately... this detail would not be noticed at all, whether subjective or secondary, because the boy's attention was immediately shocked by the brown-haired female student who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Then, Kamijou Touma looked over in astonishment: "Eh...Eh! Discharge girl, how could you!!"
Before she finished speaking, the brown-haired female junior high school student, whose hair was rubbed with electricity, showed a dangerous smile: "Fuck you! Are you stupid? You still care about such details at this time! Also, you really look like you want to be punched by me, asshole..."
As she said this, she actually squeezed the joints of her fist with interest. Her eager attitude seemed to be genuine and there was no falsehood in it.
This appearance frightened the miserable Mr. Kamijou so much that he subconsciously reacted to the stress and took two steps back, intending to release ninjutsu.
However, when he really jumped back two steps in fear, he felt as if his back hit a mountainous area, which was so barren that it made him feel pitiful... He would think of the sparkling girl in front of him...
Then...who could be coming so close so quietly and silently?
Kamijou Touma looked sideways in astonishment.
The next second, his expression changed drastically and he stared behind him in disbelief.
The one-eyed wizard with a not-so-tall figure and a pointed hat on his head...
She...she is...
instantly--
The expressions of those present all changed.
He stared in disbelief at the girl who had found herself here without anyone noticing.
No... From the conclusion, she was not in this position not long ago, but now she is standing here! ?
This person is...
"O...Othinus?"
Almost trembling through his teeth, he squeezed out this small nightmare that left a horrifying impression on everyone present.
Kamijou Touma's expression was almost exactly the same as when he was questioning Othinus in the video. He had never expected that he would actually meet this demon god in this space at this time: "What do you want to do here?"
Hearing the voice, not only him, but everyone standing there frowned, looking at this person with eyes as if they saw a devil, who, despite being petite, looked down upon everyone with a look as if looking down on ants.
In Norse mythology, the great god Odin gained the ability to see the future and the seven worlds by hanging upside down on a sacred tree as a sacrifice. This is something that is compiled and recorded in the story collection of the Norse pantheon.
And in front of us, the demon who calls herself Othinus is dressed like this, and what she can do is even more than Odin described in the myth.
But unfortunately——
Looking at the guy standing in front of me.
No one dared to question.
No one dared to comment.
Even the sharp-tongued Stiyl silently put out his cigarette and used his eyes to stop Kamijou Touma from asking any more questions.
Turtle and coward are words used to describe the party that plays inappropriately when the difference in the level of the two sides in a duel is not big.
However, the demon god before them was a being of two different realms from ordinary people like them.
Therefore, even if they did not communicate with her at all and did not offend her in the slightest, they could only be called "knowing the current situation".
"Touma...Touma!?" This was the first time that the silver-haired nun encountered this creature called the Demon, which was only recorded in historical documents. She could only trot to Touma's side, gently hide behind him, and stare closely at the woman called the Demon.
This is completely different from the usual casual and relaxed voice that is friendly to everyone. It has an unconcealable sense of vigilance and alertness.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, in the video at this moment, he is suffering from the pain caused by this demon.
"Hey…Akami, the situation doesn't look good…" Just when Touma wanted to continue asking Othinus what he wanted to do, Tsuchimikado suddenly changed the subject. His usual frivolous tone became a little serious, and he pointed at the screen that was being reassembled again and said, "Look, there's news!"
"New..news?"
This sentence also stopped Touma from asking further questions.
He couldn't help but look to the other end.
At this moment, the editing simulation scene is like purgatory.
The night scene was burned red by fire.
Academy City... is destroyed.
That's right—
Just because of the devil's random thought.
Reverse everyone's perspective.
This caused the world to completely collapse.
The multinational coalition that has formed an alliance with Academy City to fight against Gremlin's rampage across the world is like everything in the palm of the hand of the devil in this reversed world.
As she pulled the silk thread, she performed all kinds of absurd actions.
At this time, as everyone was confronting each other, a voice was heard again in the video.
It is news spread overseas, and the content is related to Academy City.
"It seems that Academy City is actively evacuating students, but the multinational coalition forces do not allow it. They are bombing the evacuation sites thoroughly, trying to eliminate all the buds of negative possibilities. It's really scary. It's better for the world to be at peace."
bright.
The points of light looked like shooting stars, but there were simply too many of them.
"It seems that precision bombing has also begun in Saitama, Yokosuka, Shizuoka, and Kofu. This time we are doomed. It seems that the coalition forces have no intention of letting them leave Kanto. Here is a warning to all the good children! If you don't want your hometown to be bombed to pieces, don't let those guys in! Those who welcome the evacuation will not have a good end, dear! "
Twenty or thirty flashes of light passed over Kamijou's head and rushed straight towards the station and other core buildings.
Cheerful voice live broadcast.
It seems to imply how the "outside world" views this matter.
"Hey, another hot tip has arrived! It's said that this time it's Shibuya! Then let's count down to the destruction, ten, nine, eight, seven... Happy New Year! Whoosh!"
Hit.
flash.
Loud noise.
burn.There wasn't even enough space for someone to lie down.
The flash of light arrived immediately, and the shock wave was visualized as a wall of dust and spread in all directions. Even though the cruise missiles were aimed at the station more than a hundred meters away, Kamijou's body still flew into the air. The back of his head hit something, and a heavy pain exploded.
"Ah, wuu ...
It was clearly a hit on the head, but a nauseous feeling rose from my stomach.
However, I don't have the time to check my physical condition right now.
"Chichichichichi...! Shashasha...! Gacha...! Puff!"
Perhaps due to the shock wave, the loudspeaker was only filled with noise. And just now it had emitted a sound like this:
The targets of the bombing were the students who had escaped from Academy City.
If so...
"You must be kidding." The boy couldn't help but mutter.
Watching myself fall in the video, watching the mess in the video.
Seeing the magician who caused all this appearing next to him so openly.
The boy's originally rational thinking was eventually swallowed up by the nameless anger that he could not suppress, and his tone was unusually explosive: "So...what on earth are you kidding, asshole!!!"
"Who knows?"
The girl's voice was flat and seamless.
Just like she showed, she didn't think there was anything to worry about. "Since I'm already a perfect demon in the video, these are all states that can be created in an instant with just a pinch of the fingers, why are you so angry?"
At this moment, in the video, Kamijou Touma also encounters Othinus who is riding a bicycle.
This uncontrollable self-questioning received an ambiguous response.
"If only things were as you thought."
"!"
In the video, Kamijou was about to throw a punch when the "Demon" disappeared with the vehicle like a puff of smoke.
When he arrived at the station, his skin was already hurting as if he was standing on a beach in midsummer. The weirdest thing was that compared to his exposed cheeks, the soles of his feet, which were supposed to be protected by shoes, were the most painful. Maybe the ground was like a hot pan. Although it shouldn't be so bad that he couldn't sit down and rest, he really didn't want to do that.
(Entrance and exit at...)
Kamijou looked around.
The station itself had become a mountain of rubble, and it was hard to even tell which part was which. The concrete blocks were piled so tightly that there was no space to enter.
(Damn it, where should I go in? If this continues, the people inside will die of lack of oxygen sooner or later...!)
Just at this moment.
There was a "cracking" sound like a heavy stone rolling down.
So Kamijou found it.
Entrance and exit.
Something other than that.
That familiar figure is remembered by audiences from all over the world.
Often appears in daily comedy plots.
It was also described in great detail in the story of the Daihasei Festival.
That is...
"It's me??"
At this moment, in the house in Academy City, the beautiful girl with a great body looked at the scene in the video in astonishment.
Looking at the man lying on the ground...
There is absolutely no possibility that Fukiyose Seiri would be mistaken about himself.
Although there are not many places where I appear in the video.
But Fukiyose knew very well that
In an instant, he frowned in worry.
There was no feeling of joy about appearing on camera, just suspicion and confusion.
It's very strange.
Why would I, a person without special abilities, appear in this extremely unusual confrontation?
Is it because he is your companion that he appears?
"…."
"How is that possible!"
Although she is just an ordinary student in Academy City, Fukiyose has never been a rough woman with big breasts and no brains. On the contrary... with a particularly strict attitude of setting an example in school, she has always been a smart person.
The moment the girl saw herself appear, she knew very clearly in her mind that the person in the video would definitely not appear for any good reason.
In my daily life, I have always had a lot of interactions with Kamijou and Tsuchimikado in the academy, and now I appear in this place... a lot of bad situations are bound to happen.
But...this is an inverted world.
It is a worldview where everyone has ill feelings towards Kamijou Touma.
And at this moment——
Although they were once partners, the person in the video probably already regarded Kamijou Touma as an out-and-out villain.
Because of this, she put down the health magazine at hand, bit her pale lips tightly, and clenched her fists tightly, trying to suppress the emotions in her heart in this way.
No...she doesn't want this...
I don't want to see what's about to happen in the video...
Even though the live broadcast room was filled with comments like crazy at this moment.
They all guarantee that the Fukiyose Seiri in the video will definitely hurt Kamijou Touma.
However, the girl watching this scene behind the video at this moment is full of hope and prayer in her heart... She doesn't want to be the executioner who stabs Kamijou Touma in the heart.
But...she was completely powerless to change anything and could only watch it all happen with a pale face.
Looking at the staggering Kamijou Touma in the video, he ran towards himself in the video as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"Blow... send...?"
His voice was trembling.
Idiot? This is a reversed worldview...
Are you an idiot...Kamijo Touma???
Watching this scene in the video, everyone had a similar thought in their hearts.
At first glance, it all sounded like criticism and disdain for Kamijou Touma's innocent behavior.
In fact, everyone knows that in the end, Kamijou Touma will be badly beaten by his friends.
but--
In fact, everyone knows this feeling of "the rabbit dies and the fox mourns".
The situation of wandering alone in the desert and darkness for a long time, being kneaded and manipulated like a toy by the devil, and the situation in the video where he was treated as a toy by the devil for a moment.
Kamijou Touma is emotionally unstable, hasn't seen anyone he knows for a long time, and has a particularly weak heart...
However...
In reality, it is difficult for human nature to overcome reason, even if one has expected it in the heart..
But Kamijou in the video still walked over like that.
He finally ran into someone he knew, one of his classmates who, though he felt he had to rescue them as soon as possible, didn't want them to be here.
"Bukiyoshi————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A girl with long black hair that reveals her forehead and big breasts.
She collapsed on the foot of the rubble mountain, on rocks so hot that they seemed to pierce her shoes.
The boy quickly ran over and picked up the girl.
Her black hair covered her face, making it hard to tell how badly the girl was injured.
However, she was still breathing weakly.
There's still time!
"Damn it! Are you okay? Damn it! I'll find a way right now and I'll definitely save you!"
Her body is very soft.
It feels like hugging a ball of heavy rubber.
It's hard to tell what's going on from a layperson's perspective, but I guess you have to deal with the burns first. It might be difficult to secure ice in a city without electricity, but you might still be able to find water.
"...ah..."
The girl's split lips moved slightly.
Kamijou reached out to stop her.
"Don't talk now. First aid is important. Let's get out of here first."
The cable broadcast said that the coalition forces were targeting students evacuating from Academy City. If they were acting in units of classes, grades, and schools, there might be other acquaintances in Shibuya. Although there were a lot of questions I wanted to ask, I would prioritize Fukiyose's physical condition at this time.
Thinking of this, Kamijou stood up holding Fukiyose.
He looked around.
(…First, find a place for her to lie down. Then water and a towel…Ice cubes may not be available, but cans of cooling spray may be available. It shouldn't be hard to find a sporting goods store in Shibuya…)
Just when I was thinking about these things.
The classmate in his arms made a slight movement.
Kamijou didn't care.
This is a mistake.
A small "puff" sound was heard.
The girl stabbed Kamijou's abdomen with the sharp glass fragment in her hand.
"Hmm...ah...?"
This moment.
The boy still didn't understand what was happening.
He seemed so confused that he couldn't even feel the pain.
It was the second blow that really made Kamijou feel it.
Fukiyose Seiri. She, who must be one of us, moved her shaking hands.
She twisted the piece of glass that had pierced the boy's body with force, just like twisting her wrist.
"Eh, wow! Ah! Ugh...!"
Intense pain shot through the spine and attacked the entire upper body.
The power drains away from the extremities of the body.
Kamijou thought to himself that this was not good.
Fukiyose's body lost support and fell onto the hot bricks of the tunnel.
He couldn't bear the urge to vomit.
At best, he could only turn his face away.
"Gah! Ugh! Cough cough!"
What was spilled on the ground was not vomit, but bright red liquid. He thought about where in his body these things came from and through what channels, and then he realized how serious the situation was.
"ah..."
