Editing review, starting from Natsuki Subaru shocking the world

"Hey, I did hear the TV. And it wasn't the Iseg (a digital TV service in Japan that is received by mobile phones and other mobile devices) used in emergencies. In order to make the battery last longer, that kind of thing should be set so that the volume cannot be turned up."

"But the power is out in this area. I guess we can't use large TVs or anything like that, right?"

"It means there is another way. Maybe someone is hiding here. Let's go and check it out. If it's 'that guy', it will be big news."

Kamijou broke out in a cold sweat.

Although this dilapidated dormitory was probably on the second floor, even if I stayed here, I could still hear the sound of someone breaking into the room. And it wasn't something like "turning the doorknob with a rattling sound" or "kicking the door open" that anyone could have guessed.

Glass.

The man smashed the glass without hesitation, and the sharp sound pierced Kamijou's eardrums.

"...!"

Common sense cannot be applied to the other party.

However, is this limited to the "crazy group" that broke into other people's homes at this moment?

The fact that the streets were burning was already unusual.

By the way, where is the original owner of this room? Is the penguin doll owner who left this dilapidated dormitory safe?

Everything will have to wait until we get through this safely.

Even if people were crazy and the times were crazy, Kamijou didn't think he could communicate well with someone who would break the glass of someone else's house and get in. Besides, he didn't know what the devil Othinus had done, and even the people on TV looked weird. Although he didn't know who the person was, it probably wouldn't be a good thing to run into him in a place like this.

He switched his thinking mode.

Adapt to the situation in order to survive.

(…If the house is small, there will only be one staircase. If you walk out along the path normally, you will most likely run into them on the way. Escaping by the shortest and fastest route will have the opposite effect. Even if you want to escape, you have to survive this first. This is the only way.)

Kamijou instinctively looked at the door of the dilapidated dormitory. Since this was inside the house, there was no lock or anything like that. Although he could use the chairs and other objects in the house to block the door, it would only backfire. The guy who broke in would surely check every room, so in this case, he didn't even need to think about what he would think when he saw a door that was blocked unnaturally.

(Hide under the bed? Or in the closet? That won't work either. The safer the place, the easier it is to search first. If you want to think the other way around, you have to pick a place that's only a hair's breadth away. For example, behind a door, which is almost as close to suicide as a place can get. This kind of place will be beyond their predictable range, and they can hide in a psychological blind spot.)

There was a clattering sound from the other side of the thin floor.

Kamijou exhaled slowly, trying to suppress his overwhelming nervousness.

(The exit is a door... and a collapsed wall?)

He approached the wall carefully, trying to avoid making any noise. It was not so much a big hole as the entire wall was gone. It seemed that there was a metal balcony connecting several rooms... But the balcony, like the outer wall, had moved away from its original position along with the pillars. On the wasteland that should have been a courtyard, the remains of the balcony could be seen, reduced to iron filings.

There was dirt below. Although I wouldn't die if I jumped down from the second floor, the debris of the wall and balcony would be a hindrance. If I twisted my foot when I landed, the guy wandering around in the house would probably catch up with me.

(The remains of the curtains should work as a rope. Once you've avoided them, go down to the courtyard from the balcony while they're searching the second floor. As long as they don't have crossbows or guns, you should be able to pass this level.)

Kamijou, who had only outlined the plan, leaned against the wall to hide behind the open door.

(Anyone will do. Be it Index or Misaka... We need to meet up with someone who should know what happened...)

That was his original plan.

But that's too naive.

Kamijou realized something was wrong because the footsteps coming from the first floor were different from what he expected and they never went up to the second floor.

At the same time, he smelled a burning smell.

Although the smell was already faintly detectable, this time the concentration was clearly different.

When he heard the sound of something popping, Kamijou finally realized that danger was imminent.

(Those guys! They didn’t come in to search, they came in to light a fire and force the people out…!)

Predictions are meaningless.

This behavior is spreading around the world as a matter of course.

If you stay here any longer, you will be roasted. If you rush out coughing, you will be arrested immediately.

There is no such thing as a "proper solution".

To live.

To understand why it became like this.

We have no choice but to resort to more unreasonable methods.

./….

There is no doubt that the world is changing as the montage continues.

It seems that the situation has changed from saving the world to fighting terrorism and five-star manhunt.

And the most terrifying thing is——

What caused all this... was just the Demon God's casual words "I want to completely crush your will, Kamijou Touma."

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 state of mind was changing with every 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. 6 who once clamored to become level , 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 that 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 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! ?
