Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

because--

She is the most powerful being in this world, that's all.

This is what I was thinking about out of boredom.

Othinus yawned, held down the brim of his hat and continued to look at the boy who was still moving forward in the video, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Well, let me see next - as the protagonist, with your dignity and stubbornness, when will you choose to surrender, or when will you choose to commit suicide?"

As he said this, he looked at the video with an expressionless face.

Consider this ridiculous mortal's efforts and perseverance toward those he deemed worth saving.

She was...irritable for no reason.

This guy who thinks he can understand everything and is qualified to save everything should be humanely destroyed as soon as possible.

...

At this moment - in the virtual space, the video clips continue to play.

Kamijou Touma was still moving forward.

As soon as the previously stagnant mind began to move, "questions" emerged one after another.

Although each one is hopelessly heavy, there is no way to move forward if we ignore them.

The most important thing is that all the answers are related to that demon.

Since he had nothing to serve as a target, Kamijou couldn't guarantee that he was heading in the right direction, nor did he know how far he should go.

Even so, we still have to move forward.

Take a step.

"what's wrong?"

She spoke as if nothing had happened.

The girl thrust the tip of her spear into the dark ground, leaning on the handle and speaking lazily:

"I thought you were going to collapse and die somewhere in despair."

Kamijou didn’t answer.

Like Othinus, he said only what he wanted to say.

"There's nothing here."

“That’s what I said at the beginning.”

"But it's not over yet."

The demon god Othinus moved his body away from the spear that was stuck in the ground.

Her remaining eye narrowed slightly, but Kamijou continued to speak to himself:

"There must be a way to restore the world that has become like this. There must be a way to see those who disappeared again!"

"Again, your smug optimistic tone? I was wondering how you managed to survive this apocalyptic scene, but I didn't expect it was through the power of delusion."

Othinus said with a shrug.

"Listen, the world has been destroyed. It doesn't matter how it was destroyed. Your right hand should be able to extinguish the magic flames, right? Maybe it can even protect yourself. But can you restore something that has been burned to ashes? The principle is exactly the same. Things that have been destroyed cannot be saved."

"Really?"

Kamijou questioned.

"Orels once said that Imagine Breaker was created based on the willful wishes of various magicians. It is used as a reference point and repair point when you don't know how to restore the world after distorting it to its original state."

"..."

"In that case, now is the time."

His right hand.

Make a fist and extend it forward.

"I don't know what you're up to. Maybe I can't understand it. But it doesn't matter... I'm here to dampen your spirit. I'll do my best to restore everything you've messed up. As for the materials, they're right here."

"Oh well."

Othinus responded simply and naturally.

"To be honest, I also thought that the last level was you. Ah, actually, it's the thing in front of the right wrist. The form of Imagine Breaker changes with time and place. Although you are just a piece of trash, if I kill you, it might take over something else, which would be even more troublesome."

"...?"

"So."

After a pause.

Othinus added this as a conclusion:

“Rather than crushing you from head to toe, it would be better to crush your spirit and trap Imagine Breaker in the cage of Kamijou Touma. That way, your rare power will just be left to gather dust.”

“…Come on if you have the guts. Anyway, it’s just you and me here. It’s unfavorable or unwise, but this situation can’t be solved by other people or things.”

"I?"

In contrast, the girl frowned.

Still seemed a little puzzled.

“I am a god after all. Do you think I, Othinus, would personally fight a tiny human?”

After finishing speaking.

She grasped the handle of the gun she was leaning on.

Pull the tip of the gun out of the dark ground.

"It's just a matter of dealing with a little devil. There's no need for the demon god to take action directly. Have you forgotten? The so-called god of magic refers to an existence that can use magic to control the entire world. Everything is under my control. Then just leave this troublesome production line operation to my subordinates."

A sudden burst of light.

A spear brought light to a world that was once filled with darkness.

This is a definite change.

Or a precursor to some kind of creation.

"What do you want to do..."

"I should have said it from the beginning. I'm going to break your spirit."

The demon god Othinus responded casually.

Her eyes were as if she were watching a conveyor belt carrying death row prisoners to a fully automatic execution machine.

"The things you want to protect, the places you want to go back to, the faces you want to see again, all of it... I will overturn them all, destroy your cognition, and tell you how insignificant what you can get in just a dozen years."

Then, the whole world turned white.

It wasn't a bright light shining into Kamijou's eyes. He wasn't dazzled, but the previously dark and empty world began to emit light and gradually changed. The change was centered on the "spear" and followed the will of the demon god.

Certain things.

It just happens.

There are tiny traces where there is nothing.

A straight line traced by a fingernail.

I can no longer remember whether this is to calculate the elapsed time or the number of times I have passed this place.

However, these numbers accumulated bit by bit brought me a sense of accomplishment.

Even if it has no meaning, it still becomes a spiritual pillar.

When I passed by there one time, I found that all traces had disappeared.

I thought I had remembered the wrong place, but no matter how I walked in the pitch-black world, I couldn't find those traces.

Want something exact.

I want something that won't change.

I also understand that this wish seems natural but is extremely difficult. People grow old, things break, food spoils, metals rust, streets change, cultures distort, and even countries and civilizations cannot be guaranteed to remain the same forever. Even if it is not a dark world like this, it is still very difficult to find something that is truly unchanging.

Even so, I still hope.

This is all the more so because everything is over.

There is a lot to do. Where did the missing people go? Can the lost buildings be replaced? More importantly, how to ensure water and food?

These action goals may not have a direct causal relationship with "unchanging things".

However, there should be a big difference between having or not having.

This is different from tiny traces that disappeared into nowhere at some point.

Even in this dark world, there are still things that can be counted.

Being able to determine this definitely has its significance.

and so.

With the montage and this conversation.

The entire virtual and real picture kept shaking and trembling.

Then, a sudden feeling of fainting came over everyone, catching them off guard.

And when all this is over, they will open their eyes again.

The space in front of me——

Completely different from before.

It can be said to be completely new.

Or...

The world has changed...

As the devil said—

Her trip...

He just wanted to destroy Kamijou Touma's will to live.

That's all.

"What...what happened?" Killua from the Hunter world looked at this completely different world with horror: "The world has changed again!!"

"The entire space is vibrating. Oh wow, this is really an extremely interesting method. If the world is renovated in this way, the value of this planet and the humans on this planet can be raised several levels." Frieza, the cosmic emperor of the Dragon Ball plane, has also been in this world from the beginning. He is now witnessing with great interest the changes that are taking place on the planet at this moment.

"However, the world here is exactly the same as before... Tsk... Could it be that this despicable demon deliberately restored the world to its original state, waiting for the moment when Kamijou Touma relaxes and then deliberately adjusts the world line back to the previous state?"

Accelerator, who also stood on this continent and was obviously familiar with this world, could tell where this was at a glance.

He crushed the hard stone at his feet with one foot, and the feeling was exactly the same as in the real world.

Immediately, he looked up and told everyone around him: "Don't think too much, this world is Tokyo, it can't be anywhere else!"

Despite being in Academy City since childhood.

However, Accelerator is still very clear about the overall situation of this country.

At this moment, this crowded city is rare in the whole of Japan. Since it is not the technologically advanced Academy City, it can only be the most popular Tokyo area.

But why did Othinus put Kamijou Touma in this place?

As the scene shifted again, everyone's perspective came to a room.

Looking at the boy lying in the corner, with only his breathing proving that he was still alive.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but a dull cry of pain marked the boy's awakening.

"……ah!"

"Here..what is this?"

Then he was faced with a state of not knowing where he was and his memory was unclear. He was lying on a cheap steel pipe bed and had no impression of the surrounding scenery. Although he didn't know where this place was specifically, it should be a house built by a builder in a residential area? A square space that looked like a small dormitory, with small penguin dolls on the shelf beside the wall.

There is a reason for using question sentences.
