boom--! !

As soon as this thought came to mind, a strange light shot towards him.

It is curved.

"What is it this time?!"

Kamijou Touma's body fell rapidly toward the ground.

That thing's reaction speed surpassed that of humans. If it weren't for my accumulated power, such as premonition perception, I probably would have been killed the moment I spoke.

It was a dart that flew in with an unusual arc.

The dart swept across the spot where Touma Kamijou had been standing, while simultaneously cutting straight across the snow-capped peak behind him.

That mountain peak was cut open by its roots.

Not only that, a white arc of light flashed at the cut, and then, the base of the entire mountain peak seemed to be completely empty, and even the air was filled with white, glass-like, cube-shaped objects.

That wasn't an illusion; some kind of white, square-shaped object had actually appeared.

Touma Kamijou had seen something like this before.

'The Holy Sword Katina from Britain…that thing possesses the power to cleave through the dimensions of time and space…'

When the sword Katina cuts through dimensions, something white, like a cross-section of spacetime, will appear before your eyes.

Humans cannot comprehend the phenomenon of a three-dimensional object being sliced ​​into a two-dimensional object.

Therefore, in Touma Kamijou's understanding, that white cube, like a cross-section of space, would detach itself from dimensions and dimensions.

This implies the fact that dimensions have been cut off.

Now, that same phenomenon was appearing before Accelerator and Touma Kamijou's eyes without any difference.

'Oh no…does that mean that monster even possesses the power to sever spacetime?!'

This is not an effect achieved by the superpowers of Academy City.

"Apollo"... The form that this weapon takes itself possesses such strong destructive power.

In gun mode, a single, simple light bullet can blast an entire hill to pieces.

In dart mode, a single horizontal slash can cut through anything in its path, its sharpness so intense it can even cleave through dimensions.

Although the first one in Academy City also possesses the same ability to manipulate time and space, he did not use it. He simply used the newly acquired weapon to practice.

The dart spun around once before landing in his hand.

This time, the shape changed again.

Touma Kamijou saw that a thin, elongated streak had appeared in the sky directly in front of him.

—?!

Before they could even realize what it was, their right side had already suffered a huge blow.

The snowfield was churned up with snow hundreds of meters high.

That was a long whip that stretched out infinitely, made of mechanical armor plates.

After the whip struck the ground, creating a shockwave, it swept straight to the right.

"What... are you kidding me?!"

Touma Kamijou can't escape it.

The impact of that thing was something that Imagine Breaker couldn't counteract, so all he could do was desperately dodge.

However, the human body is simply not strong enough to avoid that speed.

The spiky-haired high school student kicked the snow hard, sending his body flying down the slope as if rolling.

Boom! A devastating explosion came from behind.

Although the thing exploded directly behind him and didn't hit Touma Kamijou head-on, the impact alone broke the sound barrier, causing countless rock fragments to smash into him.

I heard a rustling sound coming from behind me.

"cough…?!"

The impact caused Touma Kamijou to cough up several mouthfuls of blood.

Fortunately, his internal organs were not affected; otherwise, the subsequent actions and battles would have become a huge problem.

but…

"What... happened...?"

This guy's attacks are much more organized and precise than when I first saw him!

They didn't even have a chance to touch each other.

Touma Kamijou does possess the power to see things as omens, but—the number one spot in Academy City has never given him the opportunity to demonstrate that power.

The whip was retracted into his hand, and then transformed into some other shape.

This time.

It is wrapped around Accelerator's right hand, in a bow-like shape.

He raised his right arm high, and a dark red light flashed at the tip of the bow-like weapon.

Approximately three seconds.

During this time, Touma Kamijou ran as fast as he could.

But they didn't take steps to escape.

Instead, it was to rush as close as possible to the person in first place and throw a punch at them.

'I can't keep running away! I have to take this guy down before I run out of energy!!'

Even with all our efforts, we only gained about three seconds.

During this time, Touma Kamijou didn't even get within ten meters of Accelerator.

Three seconds later, it was all over.

From that weapon that combines a bow and a spear.

The dark red sphere detached itself.

Bang! ! !

In an instant, the dark red light bullet, about fifty centimeters long and the size of a basketball, split apart.

From a single individual, it instantly transformed into hundreds that filled the sky.

A sense of despair welled up in my heart.

The spiky-haired high school student suddenly raised his head as countless dark red arrows of light rained down, each powerful enough to pierce the earth.

"—We're doomed."

This was also Touma Kamijou's final thought.

In the next instant, the destructive storm had already engulfed the spiky-haired high school student's body.

In this way, the guy completely lost his ability to move... That's what the first person thought on the surface.

however.

After the smoke cleared, he received a different result.

The land within a two-kilometer radius was directly destroyed and reduced to ashes.

The spiky-haired high school student, with his right hand raised high, was still standing there.

"...Is this guy made of iron?"

Even Accelerator, after witnessing this scene, couldn't help but criticize Touma Kamijou.

Chapter 649 The Boy Who Will Eventually Save the Demon God

The two stood on the battlefield formed by the snowfield.

Is it really necessary to expend this much effort?

Accelerator looked at Touma Kamijou, who was still standing not far away, and spoke in a voice that was not too loud but still audible to the other.

"That guy was the one who planned to destroy the whole world. I have no idea what happened between you and that guy during that time, and I don't care at all."

"But even if I don't intend to kill her, the other guys in this world won't let her go, right? Roughly speaking, there should be six billion of them. Can you guarantee that you can keep that guy alive in the hands of so many people?"

"Too verbose..."

The spiky-haired high school student was doing his best to support his current body.

To say that he wasn't injured would be a lie.

After that barrage of attacks, Touma Kamijou's body has suffered significant damage, and his internal organs have also been impacted.

Presumably, the number one player in Academy City never intended to go for the kill from the very beginning.

Otherwise, even without relying on that weapon of unknown origin, he could easily unleash devastation with a simple stomp on the ground, enough to destroy an area with a radius of several kilometers, no, or even a larger one.

He could even destroy the entire country of Denmark by himself.

Even when faced with such a monster, Touma Kamijou refused to back down.

He clenched his blood-soaked right fist, channeling his meager strength into his trembling legs.

“I know, of course I know… Othinus is someone who cannot be forgiven by this world, someone who has committed sins, someone who can never be redeemed.”

"…so what."

"But I never said that I would deny her sins because of this."

Kamijou Touma raised his head.

The pair of eyes that met Accelerator's gaze were filled with unwavering determination and a positive will.

“Othinus did indeed commit a sin, that is an undeniable fact, but—!”

"Just because of that, you're going to kill her here without any mercy? You're going to kill her without even checking the slightest bit of the facts?!"

The power was completely poured into his legs.

It seems that language really does give him the power to act. Touma Kamijou, with his frail body, has regained his full mobility.

That comes from the enhancement of consciousness.

“Othinus certainly needs to be convicted, but she should never have been killed here by people who know nothing about her! She shouldn’t have suffered such a baseless thing. If the truth of the matter isn’t even understood before the decision to kill her is made, then what’s the use of the laws and moral codes that exist in various countries?!”

In Touma Kamijou's mind, Othinus was never a character who needed to be forgiven.

On the contrary, it is precisely because she bears such sins that she deserves to be tried in public.

Instead of being mercilessly assassinated in some hidden corner where no one could know, this was a tragic end.

They couldn't even tell everyone the reason for their actions, nor could they let anyone know what caused it all. Just like that, they completely disappeared into a corner of the world, leaving the world to think, 'That's good. We don't know exactly what happened, but the culprit who caused all this is dead anyway.'

...Are you kidding me?

If everyone treated sinners with this mindset, then what kind of rubbish is this world?!

This is the reason why Touma Kamijou took action.

Even if what stands in his way is a destructive monster capable of shaking the entire world, he will never give up.

"That guy is a bastard capable of destroying the whole world. He could easily kill everyone I know if I'm not careful. I don't care what happens to everyone in the world, but I also have a reason to fight to protect the people around me, right?"

"That's certainly true, but Othinus has lost all its power and will no longer destroy this world!"

"What's the point of telling me this? Even if I don't intend to kill her, can you convince the other six billion people in the world with the same argument?"

"Even if I can't, I will still try my best to make this happen."

He clenched his right hand and stood before the girl who had been abandoned by the whole world.

Two people against six billion people.

All for the sake of ensuring that the girl before him receives the fairest possible outcome, rather than a ridiculous and senseless death.

"It is precisely because I understand that there is a way to make Othinus fully human before she can face a fair trial that I will use the power of this right hand to shatter the ideas of those selfish people who are launching baseless judgments against her!"

There's no room for negotiation.
