Editing review, starting from Natsuki Subaru shocking the world

However, after these calls were over, Laura Stewart reluctantly put away her communication equipment.

At this quiet moment, her face was calm and indifferent. She just stared at the scene in the clip like a puppet, muttering softly: "It really caused a big commotion... This demon god is really an embarrassing guy."

Unlike most of the guys who fear the Demon God, she... is a little different, although she knows very well that she can't deal with this invincible existence.

However - there should still be a way to stop it when there's a chance to guard against it before he becomes invincible... I hope it won't really come to this.

This is the case even when watching the live broadcast clips.

Not to mention the audience at the scene.

The fear of facing despair, the confusion after seeing the truth, and the horror after thinking about it.

The rings are tightly linked together, as if even the soul can be completely frozen.

Those who feel the gap most directly are not those who are weaker in strength, but the top talents in various fields.

For example...a master in the field of magic, or the strongest superpower in the world who has the best chance of reaching level 6.

"I thought it was just a trick at first, but from the real touch... Tsk, have these monsters called demons really reached such an unimaginable level?"

The Fire on the Right stared at the scene in a daze.

Looking at this unattainable yet enviable scene.

Even though he was possessed by divine power.

Neither had ever witnessed anything like this.

The Bible once said.

God has seven days to reshape, change, and enrich the world.

However, no classical book related to the metaphysics of gods has ever mentioned the ability to overthrow the world in an instant.

But now——

The demon in front of him, who claimed to be perfect, had completely subverted magic, abandoned the secular world, and subverted everything.

In the eyes of such a strong person, this world is just a grain of sand held in her palm, a plaything with no value whatsoever.

Maybe when she is in a better mood, she is willing to give this world some life and time, but... once the gods are angry, the world will be reshaped!

She proved her own worth by overthrowing the world twice, which also proved that...the self that Right Fire had always been proud of was something that should be ridiculed.

In this world, there is actually a power that is more mysterious and greater than the divine power he possesses.

"Can you imagine? This ability, this bastard..."

A low, trembling sound with unclear emotions came out from deep in his throat, and the white devil who was once known as the strongest in Academy City and stood at the top of the entire scientific community stared at the screen with an almost grim face.

This kind of greatness.

This kind of courage.

This completely breaks the realm of science.

This is no longer the "magic" that was previously called the principle of equivalent exchange.

Is this the realm of God?

Accelerator, who had always been arrogant and unruly, suddenly felt a cold temperature rushing out from behind him.

This kind of coldness was something that he, who was the number one in Academy City and once considered himself the strongest, could not understand.

If I had to describe it, it's like a god descending to the earth.

In fact,

The perfect Othinus, who has already reached the level of a demon god through magic, is such a being.

But in a flash, she changed the world.

Just because of the ridicule and scorn, she tore it down and rebuilt it.

It is obvious that——

This world has become a toy in her hands.

Although he is a superpower, Accelerator is a believer in the scientific theory that nothing is impossible in this world.

At this moment, witnessing this scene that completely violates common sense of physics and reaches a divine level, the thing that suddenly arises in my heart... is it despair?

The young man lowered his head in silence, a feeling of unwillingness rising from the depths of his throat along with his breathing.

Rather than being lulled by these extremely unusual tricks of this demon god...when he raised his head again.

In addition to the gloom and silence in his eyes, there was also a sense of irritability and anger.

Yes - he was never the type to despair because of the disparity in power.

The real despair in this world is seeing something become extinct and then developing the mentality that "there is no way I can surpass him".

Only when this kind of psychological distraction appeared did he, Accelerator, fail completely.

But ah -- but!!!

Compared to those weaknesses and absurdities, the emotion swirling in the boy's heart at this moment is a burning torrent.

It is a raging beast.

It is the awareness of seeing a giant dragon with its head bowed and looking down, yet still standing proudly like a brave man.

“I’m sure you would think so, Kamijou Touma…”

Chanting softly the name that had changed his destiny so many times, Academy City's strongest esper lowered his eyes. His gaze, which had not been honed by fear but had become even sharper, pushed through layer after layer of the spreading fog and went straight to the figure in front of him who was chatting with the silver-haired nun.

The excited expression and the surging emotions can be felt even from a distance by the protagonist in the edited footage.

He...was not frightened by the sight either.

In other words, he seemed more motivated to win and wanted to save the world.

At this moment, the video is still moving forward.

At this moment, leaders from all over the world who are rushing to gather in the hope of finding a strategy to counter the demon god still don't know.

In the upcoming screen——

They appear one by one...

As the sound from the TV rang out, Kamijou Touma's head became dizzy.

What do these sentences mean?

I totally don't understand.

According to Levinia Birdwell, in order to launch a general attack on the base of the troublemakers, many forces such as the English Puritan Church, the Roman Orthodox Church, the United States of America, and France formed a coalition and waited for the opportunity to come. Since the real sea graveyard is determined to be in Tokyo Bay, Japan, they may have already fought with the demon god Othinus.

But how do we connect to this kind of news?

Kamijou stared blankly at the TV news, which seemed even more remote from reality than a war in some faraway country.

Even though it all seemed like a bad joke, he could smell something burning.

Moreover, this is a strange single-family house with damaged roof and walls.

Kamijou turned his stiff neck and turned his gaze from the broken dormitory wall to the night street.

Although there was an orange glow outside, it was definitely not a night scene.

Large swathes of streets were without power.

The things burning in front of us are huge flames spread to burn humans.

"..."

The broadcast screen cut to another place.

It seemed to be the scene of a press conference, with a large number of flashes shining on the person standing in the center.

U.S. President Robert Cartrell puffed out his chest and said:

"I will not elaborate on this. After all, everyone knows that there is no room for discussion. The Japanese government not only approved Kamijou Touma's hiding and staying, but also concealed this fact for a long time. For the people who hope for the stability and peace of the international community beyond the framework of the country, this is a complete insult."

“What…is going on…?”

Even though it was impossible for him not to have heard it, Kamijou couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

A familiar face was making a statement with an expression I had never seen before.

"This action has caused a lot of trouble for everyone in Japan, especially those who actually live in the city. Although there is no doubt about this, we will never stop until we clearly and surely confirm that Kamijou Touma is dead. Those who advocate pacifism should also know this. For the sake of true peace, we must eradicate that demon in our generation, at this moment!"

Strangely, the voice of the simultaneous interpreter was extremely bland compared to the president's expression and tone, as if he was reading out a list of people to be shot next.

"Even though everyone has polarized opinions about this matter right now, historians a hundred years from now will surely applaud us. If we don't catch Kamijou Touma here and let him hide in a corner of the vast world again, there will only be ruins and corpses left a hundred years from now! At this moment, we will follow the kindness of the people on Earth and definitely get rid of him!"

Thunderous applause broke out.

Kamijou couldn’t keep up with the sight of the world going wild over the president’s speech. He suspected that if a label like that was put on, even if it said “Eggs are only 98 yen a box, limited to one per person,” it would bring tears to these guys’ eyes.

He already has.

I don't know where to start.

Although this was like being on a sinking ship, and anyone could see at a glance that the holes in the bottom of the ship had to be patched up immediately, there were too many holes. There was no time to even think about "blocking them one by one in order", and all he could do was stare helplessly at the scene of destruction.

At last.

Kamijou deliberately ignored the “essence” and forcibly overturned the premise in an attempt to calm himself down.

(Is this part of the intelligence war…? For example, they want to deceive the “troublemakers” and lure them to a certain place. If not, there is no reason to spread such false information…)

Just when he thought so.

"Yo."

suddenly.

New voices slid into the dormitory with collapsed walls.

Shocked, Kamijou turned around and saw a girl leaning against the wall with her arms folded.

A witch-like hat and cape, a leather garment that restrains the body, and an eyepatch that covers one eye. These are the things that symbolize the character's appearance.

No. Is it really okay to classify her as a "person"?

“Demon…Othinus…!”

"The world is in a very heated mood."

The girl standing in the realm of "God" was playing with the TV remote control in her hand, switching channels at will. This action seemed to be killing time after dinner, but the images that appeared on the screen one after another were so shocking that people's hearts almost stopped.

In one of the programs, an important figure in Russian Orthodox Church preached to the audience in front of a solemn cathedral.

"...Please pray for this day. Although God respects the free will of mankind, he will not condone mistakes. Mistakes must be corrected. Mistakes - the existence named Kamijou Touma, who took advantage of the freedom given by God to mankind, is a thing similar to mud. God is testing our self-purification ability."

In other programs, the Queen of England sat in the reception room of the palace and talked with people from the TV station.

"Although this is an extremely special case, since it is a fight for honor, we will naturally respond. Having said that, it is quite rare to be so evil these days. Recently, even the mafia and gang members have advocated doing good. It is an honor to be able to serve as the dragon-slaying hero in storybooks and fairy tales in such an era."

“Has the engine heater finally stopped? The whole world is boiling. After all, it can be felt now that this carnival will not stop until Kamijou Touma’s head is found in the rubble. But I am surprised that no one has used nuclear weapons in such a desperate situation. Perhaps this is also to confirm the death.”

"…What did you do?"

Kamijou spoke while trying to move his trembling lips.

The voice then turned into shouting.

"What on earth have you done to them? Normally, they wouldn't turn their attention away from you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, do you suspect that I threatened those guys to put you on the wanted list? Those guys would never agree to such an unreasonable request. They would definitely refuse on the spot and die miserably in my hands. You are very clear about this, right?"

"..."

"To be honest, the 'continuity of the world' is no longer relevant. The world has already ended once. Alas... I made sure you saw it with your own eyes, are you saying you forgot? This is not a dream that will end sooner or later, nor is it a worthless illusion. This is the world as it is now, arranged by a god like me. You can escape, but if you don't deal with that thing called 'reality', there will only be one outcome."

The demon god leaning against the wall shrugged and said.

"If you continue like this, you will definitely die."

Zika! A blinding light shone in from outside.

Looks like a powerful flashlight.

Kamijou looked around the ruined dormitory again, feeling a little dazed, and found that Othinus had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there were several rude voices coming from outside.
