Finally.

Kamijou Touma managed to save a little bit of his chances of winning.

The demon god who has always stood high in the sky, overlooking the world.

There seems to be a possibility of being pulled back to the world!

There is no doubt that I have been maintaining failures before and have been trying to accumulate chances of winning through perseverance.

Fate also gave him an invisible gift, giving him a chance to touch victory when he had no chance of winning.

It’s not just him;

Even the demons have been damaged by the constant changes in the world view!

As this scene was released, discussions and speculations arose endlessly.

“But, isn’t she a perfect demon god? Logically speaking, she should be the most perfect being in the world. Why did she suffer such a severe injury under such circumstances?”

“What’s going on?”

“Sister Demon, why are you a little lax?”

Although the performance of the demon god Othinus has always been outstanding.

It was so dazzling that the audiences in the world were impressed and astonished.

but–)

She was really weird at this time.

Why do you suddenly look so painful?

Is it a bit of a backlash?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Little did they know that this scene was also recognized by some viewers.

“Actually, if you look at it this way, everything is normal.”

The sound came from the windowless Pentagon, where Aleister Crowley was floating in a tank of liquid, watching everything quietly.

The rulers of Academy City just watched in silence as the voice-generating device made its own statement.

On the other side, after seeing this scene happen, in the world of Detective Conan.

Facing the reporters’ questions, the industry’s top detective from Maori Law Firm –

Maori Kogoro laughed out loud: “As expected, any evil will be brought to justice!”

“All evil will eventually be brought to justice?” The reporter next to him was a little confused: “But… now this powerful enemy called Demon God Othinus seems to have not been defeated by Kamijou Touma at all. What is the basis for your statement of bringing him to justice?”

These words left the whole audience speechless.

Immediately afterwards, people gathered and discussed the matter.

This really made Maori Kogoro tease Hong Wen, and he shouted: “Who knows detective reasoning, you or me?!”

“But you really didn’t provide any basis for your argument. How can we publish the report?” a reporter insisted.

This uncle is really useless.

Seeing this, Conan sighed, shook his head helplessly, then took out an anesthetic needle and shot Kogoro Mouri’s knee hard.

With a painful howl, Kogoro Mouri closed his eyes in pain and unwillingness. Conan lifted the voice changer on the bow and chose to replace it.

Although he still knows very little, it is still better than what Maori Kogoro said casually.

For example… he can use his detective’s keen sense of smell to ignore what has already happened in the video and talk about off-field factors… Even though these factors sound a bit far-fetched, he can still perfectly turn them into truths with his eloquent tongue.

“There are only two possible answers that can be accepted based on evidence. One of them is the same as what you said, that the demon god couldn’t stand the feedback caused by constantly changing the world and suffered some mental damage… But I personally prefer the other possibility.”

Likewise, in the Magical Index mainland, seeing this scene happen, Accelerator, who had always been reluctant to say anything, couldn’t help but sneer;

Then, he read aloud: “It seems that everything has its own rules. It turns out… they did it.”

“What do you mean by ‘done it’?” Kamijou Touma, who was watching the scene in the editing space, didn’t quite understand.

“Ah… Do you remember what happened before, before Kamijou Touma and the demon started a full-scale mental game?”

His words.

Bring the thoughts of those present back to the previous plot.

then.

Orelus’s fairy transformation failed and the hit was missed.

Followed by.

The fire on the right makes a sneak attack from the ruins behind.

It hit Euthinus directly.

Even though it doesn’t seem to cause any harm at first glance.

But… maybe there is a delayed effect?

Who cares about him so much!

Anyway, this is what they are speculating from their perspective since they don’t understand magic at all.

Otherwise, why would the devil suddenly show such a painful expression?

“Yes, I’m talking about the scene where Orelus and the Right Flame transform the demon into a fairy. Anyway, since it was specially released by the editor, it proves that this part will definitely be effective in the subsequent plot… As far as I can see, there are only two ways to use this plot to help the protagonist——”

“The first is to inspire the protagonist… that is, through the failure of the companions, or their unwillingness to surrender and breaking the spirit modified by the devil’s rule, infecting the protagonist… However, it seems that the holder of this plot element is Misaka Integrated Consciousness. Her performance infected Kamijou Touma and gave him the motivation to continue working hard.”

“In this case, Orelus and the Right Fire, who have shown various characteristics before, seem a bit redundant. Then there is only one other possibility that should not be ruled out, and that is…”

“Yes, this means that the magic called Fairy Transformation has not failed, but the effect is not as obvious as they thought. It is just slowly exerting its effect, slowly destroying everything of this perfect demon god.”

Over there, the discussion was well organized and the attitude was correct.

On this side, hearing this nonsense, Othinus, who was standing next to him, smiled in boredom and thought it was very childish.

And in the video.

The picture continues…

(pain……!)

Kamijou’s face twisted involuntarily as the intense pain struck his entire body.

Kamijou barely managed to escape the deadly area, but the aftermath of the explosion caught him in mid-air without hesitation.

The boy’s body flew far away from the expected position and fell to the ground. Unable to stop the momentum, he rolled several times.

Even so, he still managed to pull through.

“…”

Othinus stared at his target with his remaining eye and raised his “spear” slightly again.

Bang! A large number of explosions lost their continuity and rushed towards Kamijou Touma like a wall without leaving any gaps.

Kamijou did not raise his right hand.

He took a small step sideways forward, as if he were moving through the crowd toward the door on a crowded tram.

That’s it.

The tiny boy’s body nimbly drilled through thousands of exploding walls.

“what?”

The results produced are inconsistent with one’s own theory.

Othinus looked unbelievable and could not help but growl:

“What happened? Your performance shouldn’t be able to compete with mine!”

“I think so. Even if I repeat the fight countless times, my power will not increase. There is no simple development like “Imagine Slayer awakens hidden power”. I am still me, and I have not become something else.”

“In that case…!”

The stars in the night sky twinkled like some strange omen.

They all turned into sharp spears of light, pouring down like heavy rain.

but–

“If that’s the case, why are you still able to survive!”

“Have you forgotten? Or did you just ignore my analogy because it was too stupid, Othinus? That’s what I just said – ‘But, when facing an enemy that you can’t normally defeat, it’s fun to analyze his attack patterns through trial and error, and even if you don’t get any data, you’ll feel like you’ve accumulated something’!”

“… Could it be that…”

“Even though I can’t upgrade as easily as in an RPG, even though my strength and abilities haven’t changed, I still keep analyzing during this period. While I was being killed, I memorized your fighting patterns bit by bit, until my body could follow habitual movements without waiting for my brain to react! Anyway, there are as many opportunities as you want. After all, you’ve been with me so many times that you even forgot to count them!”

For example, in traditional shooting games, it is easier to open up a path to subsequent levels by training the player’s own skills in reality than by strengthening the player’s own abilities.

Even if the level seems so difficult when you first see it that you think you can never pass it, as you play more and more times, you will gradually see the characteristics of the enemy’s actions and bullet screen. So the player accumulates step by step, and finally it becomes possible to defeat the boss as if following the established process and move on to the next level.

“You have been dying miserably all along just for…”

“Unfortunately, it is a fact that I cannot defeat you. I did not hold back. No matter how hard I tried, I would still be killed in the end. However, I was not killed for nothing. I chose different ways to die in order to try various things. I learned through death. It may not be good for the noble gods, but it is the entertainment of the vulgar mortals.”

Maybe there is no point at all.

Maybe you will get nothing except a sense of fulfillment.

but–

“I’m just an ordinary high school student. My right hand has some special powers, but even if I take that into account, I can’t fight those ‘professional’ guys head-on. Even if I can avoid the attacks of God here, I’m still me. If I fight a normal magician, I will lose normally. After all, I only have this much ability.”

“Bang, bang …

Destruction cannot catch up with youth.

He would squeeze into the tiniest gap, or go against the predictions of Othinus’s deflected shots, preventing his own flesh from exploding at the last moment.

“But I have already constructed your model. Even if it were any other magician, they would normally be defeated, but if it’s just you now, I can escape! Even if you have the power of God, you are still a mortal who climbed to the top of the magic god. It may be rude to God to say this, but it makes people feel familiar. Since you have desires, you will also have hostility. You are not the type who is full of rules that are difficult to understand!”

Kamijou Touma did not pursue magic in the other side of the world.

But what the boy said inadvertently pointed out the characteristics of the gods in polytheistic mythology such as Greek mythology and Norse mythology.

The gods of polytheism have emotions in addition to rationality. They show not only positivity, love, and justice, but also negative emotions such as fear and jealousy.

The polytheistic church integrates the opinions of multiple gods to make the whole a flexible system, which is a kind of “as long as it gets on the right track in the end” idea.

Even as a god, one can still be lost and fail.

In that case——

“Come to think of it, you are not an absolute at all.”

To represent the so-called gods, one must stand on the standpoint of the group of “gods” in order to come up with a perfect answer.

By compensating for each other’s weaknesses, they built a solid defense system that no enemy could penetrate.

This is one of the characteristics of polytheistic mythology.

Even if there is only one main god who abandons the heaven and other gods and appears alone.

It also does not mean that He can exert perfect power.

“Even if Othinus has completed it, that alone is not an absolute!”

“…”

It was said right.

indeed so.

This conclusion was not taught by others, nor was it obtained by reading literature. It was a simple rule of thumb, a crude answer based on one’s own personal experience. However, for the silent Othinus, this was more dangerous than elegant learning.

This is also natural.

It was not just superficial knowledge that remained in the brain. Experience had penetrated to the point where it could be called “remembering with the body” and had been refined into a technique that could be used.

Moreover, Norse mythology is a huge system centered on struggle.

It is reasonable that Othinus, who stands at the top of this system, would value the crude experience gained from actual combat over the clean theories from the desk.

Even if that is the enemy’s achievement.
