The scenes in the video also illustrate this point very well.

Kamijou Touma suddenly woke up.

Rushed to Othinus.

Tried to punch her.

Then… without any suspense, he was killed.

Even the little tune that had just accompanied his awakening was completely wiped out by this blow, and the entire scene was like a vacuum zone.

Something exploded in the boy’s arms.

“……————!”

After a long while, a loud “bang” sounded and it hit Kamijou’s bones directly. By the time he realized what was happening, his body had already flown into the air like a football.

presumably.

Such a development had already clearly emerged in Othinus’ mind.

The most Kamijou could do was to slightly change the trajectory of his flight and fall.

He floated in the air for several seconds.

What does it mean that this level of human mass has remained in the atmosphere for so long?

Before the terror could consume reality, Kamijou’s back hit the dirt of the playground.

These descriptions are not exaggerated at all.

A large amount of dark red liquid seemed to be squeezed out from the boy’s internal organs and spit out from his mouth.

Sha

can not breath.

Even if I wanted to breathe in, my body seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn’t move smoothly.

“Gaa! Keke! Guaa!”

He turned over from his back to face down and put his finger deep into his throat. Although the amount of blood loss was horrible, it was still necessary to ensure that the trachea was unobstructed. He spat out the blood clot stuck in his throat and barely recovered his breathing.

“what’s wrong?”

The blonde girl’s voice slid into Kamijou’s ears.

It came from a place even farther away than before.

“You like easy-to-understand battles, right? If so, you should enjoy them. What do you mean by retreating?”

Othinus never moved from where he was.

She just raised the “spear” gently.

That’s it.

With a “bang”, a huge hole opened in the night sky.

Like a dark moon.

Something cracked. The scene Kamijou had witnessed before—the empty, dark, flat world—peeked out from the hole.

There is no signal.

In order to crush a mere teenager, the moon fell onto the night playground without hesitation.

rustle

rustle

Kamijou jumped to the side with all his strength. He no longer cared about looking good. He had to get as far away from that vortex of destruction as possible, even if he had to roll on the ground to gain distance, even if it was just a centimeter or a millimeter.

The sound disappeared.

A hemispherical pit with a diameter of several dozen meters appeared on the ground. This was not a trace of damage caused by the explosion, but a hole was dug in the shape and mass of the dark moon.

(To get closer.)

There was a fierce light in the boy’s eyes.

Turn from defense to offense.

Kamijou changed his mind, reversed his steps, and made a sharp turn.

(I have to get close to him no matter what! If I get close to him, then Othinus will have to hold back to avoid getting hurt! I only have my fists, and I can’t attack or defend unless I overcome my fear and rush in forcefully.)

“too slow.”

Crack————!

As Othinus’s endearing voice rang out, Kamijou’s knees twisted in a strange direction.

Swish!

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Kamijou Touma ran forward with all his “legs”.

Othinus is right in front of us. Fortunately, our limbs are still intact. One more step. As long as we step hard, we will be within the reach of our fists. Kamijou exhaled lightly, calculated the timing, tried to reduce the tension that was stretched to the limit, and pressed his whole body weight forward to lock the face of the girl with the eye mask.

Then Othinus disappeared.

Because when Kamijou came to his senses, the blonde girl had already stepped into his arms.

The girl’s actions were extremely simple.

She did not swing her right hand holding the “spear”, but used her slender left hand.

As a “squeak!” sound was heard, the girl grabbed Kamijou’s neck and lifted him up without hesitation.

The strong are bound to severely humiliate the weak, my friends.

This is the disparity between the two caused by the strength and weakness levels.

This is a truth that Kamijou Touma can never change no matter how hard he tries to climb or make amends for it.

“You should have figured it out for me.”

“I’ve always been clear.”

Kamijou Touma and Othinus’s eyes slightly crossed.

That’s right.

In the end, no matter what Kamijou Touma does, he is no match for Othinus, who has become a demon god. This is not a situation that can be overcome by “training up” or “coming up with an idea.”

Humans fundamentally cannot defeat God.

If there is any possibility of defeating Othinus, it would probably be if Kamijou himself ascended to become a demon god, but there is really no hope for that. If anyone could do that, then Kamijou wouldn’t have to fight so hard, and Othinus wouldn’t call himself a god.

and so–

“This is not a close contest at all.”

While being held by the neck and lifted up in the air, Kamijou groaned:

“This is probably not the first time I’ve fought like this. I don’t know if it’s ten or a hundred times, but it’s happened many, many times. I guess every time I fought, I was shattered to pieces by the first blow. Then it was a matter of memory integration. I subconsciously resisted accepting the pain and fear I’d experienced, and reorganized the process in my mind to make the fighting method logical. That’s why I seemed to be able to barely handle the attack.”

“That’s only fifty points.”

“Maybe. The starting point is not the playground tonight, but the moment I woke up from the empty dark world.”

Be it a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times.

Othinus only needs to repeat this. As long as Kamijou finds that even if he changes his actions little by little and continues to make different choices from before, he will always reach a dead end somewhere, and he will naturally give up. Whether it is a direct battle or the previous “countless worlds”. As long as the boy who is lost in the dead end collapses at one time or at a certain point, Othinus will achieve his goal.

That being said.

At the same time.

“But I’m gradually beginning to understand you.”

“A mere human wants to talk about God?”

“You’re not going to kill me anyway.”

Even though his neck was being gripped by a force as strong as a pair of pliers, Kamijou still made this conclusion.

“It’s not that you can’t kill me. You should be able to kill me anytime you want. But you didn’t do it, even after you declared ‘I’d kill you right away’… There must be a reason for that—a reason why you didn’t do it when you could have just killed me. No, it’s not so much a reason—”

“…”

“I think it’s probably something like a bonus level or something like that.”

So far.

As the sound of a “cracking” was heard in his neck, Kamijou Touma’s consciousness sank into the noise again.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that with this discussion…

Some vague things began to become clear.

Chapter 198: Unyielding Persistence

Kamijou Touma and Othinus.

There are subtle changes in the relationship between the two.

This is something that the audience can see.

Although it is still the relationship between the abused party and the abuser.

But, it seems that Kamijou Touma is absolutely sure.

From a certain angle.

He’s not wrong.

At the moment, Othinus had no interest in killing him personally.

In this case, then the answer to the matter is clear.

What he did was not in vain.

His efforts were not in vain.

Even if you can’t hit the demon.

The latter failed to kill him even when he raised his fist against a weakling like him.

This can be seen.

This guy had no intention of dealing with him personally.

obviously.

Kamijou Touma grows up through repeated near-death experiences.

No, not so much growth;

It’s better to say.

These near-death experiences.

He gradually improved himself.

Are you gradually beginning to want to find out everything that Othinus envisioned?

Is it really?

once…

twice…

Ten times…

Hundreds of times…

Thousands of times…

Million times…

Millions of times…
