Editing review, starting from Natsuki Subaru shocking the world

"Besides, this is enough. The battle between the 'Troublemakers' and the Orelus forces? The last piece of the puzzle to create a special 'Lance'? Who cares about that? The girl who is seriously worrying about such a stupid thing as 'risking her life to save her friend' is right in front of me! There is no reason not to help her!"

That's right...Touma finally remembered now... He understood why Thor looked down on him... It was not because these magicians could not see the strength of Imagine Breaker, but because they saw that the man named Kamijou Touma had a change of mentality in this series of serial cases...

That's it. Kamijou finally understood what he meant by this sentence. Being afraid of failure and not doing things that he could do was not his style at all. In the past, even if he was deceived, used, and exploited, he still had a little bit of strength. Even if he was just walking on the path arranged by others, he would still desperately reach out his hand to grab someone's hand.

What does victory or failure mean in the overall situation?

What’s the point of looking clearly ahead and into the distance before making any judgment?

Do you want to be that kind of person who only looks at the big picture and doesn't even notice that he or she is crushing others with his or her huge feet?

"She said it herself. She muttered something like 'function' and 'brain predation', but she did say that she didn't want to eat the child's brain. So, it's up to me to make my own judgment after that. It's only natural for me to want to help, right?"

With these words, the live broadcast room suddenly fell into shackles and silence.

There was no longer any sign of the debate that had just happened.

Even in the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, after witnessing this scene, many people fell silent and stopped participating in the discussion.

However, such confessions and rebuttals can shake the audience in the live broadcast room.

But it definitely couldn't shake Bai Dewei;

She was still so cold-blooded, so cruel, and so bluntly rejected everything Kamijou Touma said.

"Let me tell you everything about that humanoid creature, the witch engraved on the picture book, and everything she represents."

As she spoke, she began to talk about the things that the life called Floran possessed, and all the life and experiences of Floran that could be seen from the perspective of the magician called Bertwei.

That creature did not have the "function" to engage in complex thinking or allow emotions to surge from the depths of its heart.

She can only think more simply than an insect. There is even an independent robot development department responsible for researching this mode of thinking, so that robots can have the judgment to control their actions without having to carry complex AI.

Cool is better than hot.

Warmth is better than coldness.

By constantly repeating this binary choice, one can naturally continue to pursue "an environment that is easy to survive and live in" even without a vast amount of knowledge or experience.

It is better to eat sweet things than bitter things.

It is better to choose a bright place than a dark place.

It is better to wear soft fabrics than coarse ones.

By accumulating thousands of binary choices, the creature was able to live in the most comfortable place, eat the most appetizing food, and wear the most suitable clothes. In the process of constantly pursuing comfort, the creature finally lived a certain binary choice.

A creature called human.

To imitate humans? Or not?

She made a choice, but failed. From the perspective of "living in the colony", the creature was too strong. Although this would not hurt anyone, it was enough to make others treat her as an alien.

Even if it was imprisoned as a "witch", the creature still continued to make a choice between the two.

That's right.

They must imitate the people around them and behave in a way that will benefit the colony, because that creature believes that this is the way to a comfortable life.

Once again, that creature has neither the "function" to engage in complex thinking nor the "function" to allow deep emotions to emerge from within.

She only has the "function" to make a choice between two things happening in front of her and to move towards comfort.

Where did the smiling female portrait that appeared in the past documents come from? Who is this woman who was tortured and tortured but never bled, and even smiled and said she was a human being?

The answer is simple.

She was, after all, only exercising a choice between two options.

Even in prison.

She observed other women who were similarly ostracized by the colony and subjected to unreasonable punishment as "witches," and imitated them.

I'm just an ordinary human being.

Definitely not an evil "witch".

The women kept saying this, and she just watched them die with her surprisingly innocent eyes.

That creature.

Flora Chloë Dune is such a creature.

She didn't say anything because she was thinking about it.

It is not because of belief in religious inquisition that I claim that I am a human being since I am not injured.

It's just a choice between the two.

YES or NO.

Chain of 0 and 1.

It's just that these behaviors are similar to the results of human-like thinking and human-like emotions. If she had seen a group of lions instead of a human colony, she would have imitated the beasts to gain the group's favor. That's it.

The so-called truth is always very simple.

And precisely because of its simplicity, it is even more chilling.

"in the end--"

Bai Dewei narrowed his eyes.

"She is nothing but an empty shell. No matter how much she talks, no matter how much she grits her teeth and cries, she still has no motivation to act like this. This is the creature called Flora Chloe Dune... Can you trust that kind of thing? To put it bluntly, things like 'functions' can be blocked by human hearts, but that creature who has no self-will at all will only let them control her. As long as the action pattern of choosing between two options, 0 and 1, is slightly offset, that creature will prey on the person she originally considered a friend without hesitation. In a series of simple thoughts, she will only choose the one that makes her more comfortable."

"I believe."

but.

Even after hearing all that, Kamijou Touma still answered immediately.

Even someone as powerful as Bai Dewei still twitched his eyes when he heard the words.

Kamijou Touma continued:

"If the creature that keeps trying to find the best answer between two options in order to survive ends up with the answer 'I don't want to hurt my friends'... then the process doesn't matter. Since she is a 'human' who can come up with such a kind answer, I will believe in Flora Chloe Dune."

"…You can even put your feelings into a puppet made of iron and plastic that can only make expressions according to a program? Even if it was shot in the side, you still want to protect that thing that only looks like a human?"

"Yes. If something that can laugh, cry, think about others, and protect others like a human being is about to be treated as scrap metal, I will also clench my fist to help. It doesn't matter what the material is, or what the structure of the brain is. If I can do this, it means that I am no longer a monster or an alien. Compared to them, the guy who has a brain that can understand people's hearts but can lie and hurt others calmly and feel complacent is more terrifying."

"..."

This is not just a hypothesis.

In fact, there were many people with complicated personalities among the people Kamijou had met so far. There was even a girl who was able to take shape by relying on the AIM diffusion field aggregate, and a person who could use a network of somatic cell replicators to interfere with each other as a whole and as individuals.

But so what?

Even if their structure and composition are different, how are their essences different from humans?

If that part is discarded, how do we define human nature?

"That's why you didn't secretly eliminate Flora Chloe Donnie because of what you thought."

Kamijou said provocatively.

He was convinced.

"You know that her thinking basis is fundamentally different from that of humans, but you still talk to her directly and maintain a fair attitude. Why is this? Isn't it because you care about Frolan Chloe Dune's heart?!"

"Shut up!"

With a splashing sound, a large amount of water appeared around Bai Dewei. The water formed a vortex-like water wall around her with her as the center.

The leader of the magic society kept a cold look, pushed forward the symbolic weapon that controlled water, and said:

“Even if that thing has a mind of a different system from ours, what we have to do remains the same. If we want to destroy the ‘troublemakers’, we have to prevent them from making the ‘lance’. Only if we can provide evidence that they can do this will ‘that guy’ standing by and watching at the center’ take action. In order to obtain this information, I was forced to make a great sacrifice. The top priority is to lure out the demon god Othinus and defeat her.”

"In the end, your conclusion is still the same?"

After clenching his fists again, Kamijou said softly:

"But Bai Dewei, you may be using the wrong method."

"…What does that mean?"

"Even if you can sacrifice Flora Croidune to defeat Othinus and make the 'Troublemakers' fall apart without their spiritual support, this highly efficient method of deceiving and hurting everyone will only make people suspicious and lose trust in each other. If you and the Dawn, the ones you lead, become monsters worse than the 'Troublemakers', then there is no point. To this world and the people you want to protect, the enemy is just a different name. The day of peace will never come."

and so--

Kamijou continued his previous words:

"Let's end it now. In order to prevent your determination from leading to the worst possible outcome, and to prevent you from bearing all the stigma, I'm going to stop you here!"

Chapter 167: Handsome Madang brother!

Handsome Madang brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Handsome handsome handsome!!!!!!!!!!

With this plot being shown in a pure and pure way...

The audience in front of the video witnessed Touma's inner monologue when he stood in front of Bai Dewei!!!

That’s right!!!!

Who cares about right or wrong!!!

Who cares if it is real life or not! ! ! !

Since this is a person of flesh and blood who appeared before him, and since this is the person Kamijou Touma has made up his mind to save! ! ! ! ! !

Why not save???

What a personal and heroic monologue this is!

I'm afraid that only American comics that emphasize heroic characteristics would render the protagonist's psychological dynamics in this way! ! ! !

This is just so cool.

Directly deny any abuse and deception from the enemy, face your own heart directly, and choose to make such a choice! ! ! ! !

"Oh my god, such a heroic inner monologue!!! If there is someone who can do something as cool and self-righteous as Mr. Kamijou Touma, then I can only say that this is really... Taikula!!!" In the world line of Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto, who was once on the list of protagonists, shouted loudly.

In the world of Death, the imprisoned Aizen Sosuke, although tied to a chair, saw the protagonist's determination to remain unmoved in the face of crisis, and couldn't help but smile and comment: "It's a very interesting development. The boy who dared to move forward, even though he knew the road ahead was bumpy and saw this powerful enemy in front of him, he was still able to grit his teeth and block the opponent... But, is this girl really an unforgivable person who wants to destroy everything of others to satisfy herself? I'm afraid it's not just such a simple question."

As the gold medal judge in the live broadcast room, Sosuke Aizen is undoubtedly the brightest star in the commentary world.

Apart from him, no one else could have made such a pertinent and powerful assessment.

There is no doubt that even looking at this live editing room, there are many viewers who are his supporters.

However, in the home plane of the God of Death, the God of Death were somewhat shocked to see Aizen showing off even though he was sealed.

"No, who asked you?" Hitsugaya Toshiro, who had a deep hatred for Aizen, got angry on the spot. Seeing that Aizen Sosuke was still alive and well after being sealed, he couldn't help but pull out Hyorinmaru and rush into the royal court to comb Aizen's hair in the middle.

Unfortunately, these few objections could not suppress the cheers of the audience who agreed with what Aizen said. His voice was like a drop of saliva from a child, which was instantly covered and crushed by the surging cheers like the sea.

Soon, everyone's attention shifted back to the video from the perspective of the many viewers and gold medal critics.

Looking at the young man standing in front of Bai Dewei without any fear, looking at his resolute figure standing there, looking forward to the final battle that is about to begin.

Although it is still unknown how all this will develop, everyone knows that all of this - things related to the lingering connection between Kamijou Touma and Bertwei, and the grace of being redeemed, will come to an end here.

At this moment, Bai Dewei, who was standing in front of Kamijou Touma, was also shaken by his words.

It was a realization that was very similar to the reason why she insisted, but different from what she considered to be her selfish desires. It was a sincerity that could not be ignored.

The two intertwined and conflicting emotions are superimposed on each other.

This duel where no one will admit defeat is equally important to everyone.

The fight is about to break out...

The first to take action was Levinia Birdaway.

The symbolic weapon in her hand will change into various shapes according to its purpose and attributes.

Now the wine glass.

It is one of the four major directions representing water, the back, the moon, women, and the color blue. In the Tarot cards, it is in charge of one of the minor mysteries.

The swirling wall of water around the girl stretched upwards in one breath. When it reached a certain height, it spread evenly into a circle. On that transparent object that could be mistaken for a giant umbrella or a tree, thousands of sharp, cold fruits grew.

The harvest time comes in the form of heavy rain.
