Chapter 244

【

The classroom was filled with youthful innocence and joyful laughter.

Touma touched the wound from his dream with lingering fear, finding that there was indeed no injury, meaning he really just had a nightmare.

"Kamijou," suddenly Fukiose called his name. Touma was about to answer, but was stunned to find that another stranger responded to Fukiose.

Kamijou Touma did not know that person... but that person was living his daily life, messing around with friends, suffering misfortune, being asked for food by Index...

Snatching discounted eggs, meeting the Unabara sisters, seeing fanservice scenes as expected, and then meeting Misaka Mikoto, getting involved in a series of troubles again.

"So happy," Kamijou said.

Although he will still be involved in various incidents in the future, if daily life continues like this, then even if I step into unprecedented darkness, I can do it!

Kamijou thought this from the bottom of his heart, and so the days repeated one after another.

However, the real Kamijou Touma was just sitting in the corner of the classroom, blankly and dazedly watching... watching that stranger named Kamijou take over his entire life.

An immense sense of absurdity made Touma's eyes tremble, and he woke up again!

"Othinus..."

Warhammer 40k World

Denying the entire meaning of the existence named Kamijou Touma?

The Chaos Gods and demons in the Warp seemed to feel, across the frame, the extreme emotions accumulating in that human's heart.

An idea to make sentient beings constantly produce delicacies appeared in the minds of the Chaos Gods.

【

Othinus appeared, faintly explaining to the boy.

Kamijou Touma has saved many people in the past, but as long as they are saved, it doesn't matter to them who it is.

As long as someone is willing to reach out and save them, it doesn't matter who; Kamijou Touma is just a codename.

"No one is watching you, and no one will be confused by your disappearance."

"As long as the method and the person to solve the problem are gathered, their world will turn on its own; it's only that level of relevance, yet you almost threw your own life away."

"Your value is only to this extent," Othinus mocked.

Bungo Stray Dogs World

Dazai Osamu suddenly thought about the composition of light novels.

The extraordinary and the ordinary are two sides of light novels, and also a reproduction of ancient human literary traditions.

Heroes reside in the middle ground between humans and gods; they feel humanity and reach up to the gods, simultaneously tainted by both sides.

One side needs war, the other side needs daily life, because the protagonist needs this to identify himself.

In the anxiety of the extraordinary, external contradictions repeatedly force the character's passion; in daily life, the character regains the side of being human.

And at this moment, Othinus's two questions broke both sides.

Does interpersonal connection come from saving? As long as you save the other party, the other party will like you; what the other party is obsessed with is just the favor bestowed.

The second question, identity collapse; Othinus denied everything about Kamijou Touma. He is ultimately just a boy; no matter what, how can Kamijou Touma let go of his own life?

"This is simply more terrifying than endless hellish torture."

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann World

"Quantum hell, multiverse labyrinth," the Anti-Spiral muttered.

If such times repeat countless times, that is a multiverse labyrinth.

Academy City

"... That's not true," Misaka Mikoto's eyes were red, and she came to Kamijou Touma in person to admit it.

"Isn't the only hero who can and is willing to step into hell for... us, yourself!"

"That... I'm not good with words, I don't know what to say," Kamijou Touma scratched his head embarrassedly, his face blushing, but the next moment.

Bilibili—the girl was too shy and excited, the electric arcs flashing on her forehead gave Kamijou Touma, who was shy from such a confession, a thorough shock.

He was fine, of course! But his discounted eggs!

"Fukou da!"

【

After Othinus's various questions, Kamijou Touma fell into silence. He quietly looked at the empty classroom and his lonely, lost self, and an immense emptiness rose in his heart.

He couldn't feel a trace of redemption or hope, and couldn't feel any motivation to survive...

But in the blink of an eye, that emptiness vanished.

".. Do you want to continue?" Othinus asked faintly.

"What do you want by denying all this!" Touma said in a low voice. "No matter what others say, this is my world, the world I have protected until now!"

"It is indeed insignificant to a Demon God, but to me, it already has the value worth risking my life to protect!"

"Is that so..." Othinus raised her eyebrows slightly, and the Main God's Spear reappeared in her hand.

She stated bluntly that she would cast Touma into despair and then correct his thoughts, but Touma retorted.

"That has no meaning."

Even if she buries the world and fulfills her own wishes, only emptiness will await her.

"Do you mean this world doesn't need correction? Even if you are abandoned by loneliness, it doesn't matter?"

"It doesn't matter to me!" Touma answered quickly. Although he was abandoned and strangers replaced everything of his, they have their own sense of right and wrong and will not be swayed; they are worthy of respect!

Therefore, if Othinus wants to correct all this, he will stand in front of her. Even if this only brings pain to himself, he should not change them without authorization!

Across the Myriad Worlds

An answer like a saint.

Across the Myriad Worlds, everyone listened to Kamijou Touma's answer. Although they were shocked by the answer, how long could such an answer last?

Or rather, how long could the boy's mind hold on?

【

Othinus attempted to deny Kamijou Touma, but Touma saw through Othinus's intentions!

His heart was no longer lost, and he said firmly, "I am Kamijou Touma!"

Othinus felt bored because her trick was exposed. She snapped her fingers, and the world disappeared again.

She gave Kamijou Touma praise with helplessness.

Naruto World

"Could it be that Kamijou Touma succeeded?! Othinus had a change of heart?!" Naruto said excitedly.

Because of Kamijou Touma's firmness and perfect performance, Othinus must have been moved by him!

It must be like this. As expected of Kamijou Touma; he couldn't understand the big principles he said, and he wouldn't say them either. It was just like... Talk no Jutsu!

Kakashi looked at the excited Naruto and sighed, "It's not that easy."

She overcame countless setbacks and difficulties to finally reach a realm above billions of living beings; how could she make changes and completely deny her own beliefs because of a few words?

Those who survive hardships are not necessarily the strong, but the strong will definitely endure countless hardships.

What awaits Kamijou Touma is boundless hell.

【

Like a bug about to be crushed, Othinus twitched and decided to give this tenacious human even deeper darkness.

Despair, distortion, death, reincarnation—

Kamijou Touma saw countless worlds... and experienced the despair of countless worlds.

Friends chased and beat him as soon as they met, forcing him into a dead end.

Being hanged for inexplicable false charges.

Trapped in deep mountains waiting for rescue, and in order to survive, being eaten alive for flesh and blood.

Buried in the ground while conscious, slowly rotting from the hands and feet, being thrown into a lifeboat because the Earth was beyond saving, being thrown directly into the void of the universe, dying in a hollow and cold way.

Once, ten times, a hundred times, ten million times, a billion times...

The Demon God kept destroying and rebuilding the world, placing a boy at the very bottom, torturing him endlessly.

He was still him, but Kamijou Touma's eyes became increasingly hollow and deep. Although his heart had no clear shape, Touma could feel that his heart was gradually shattering...

But even in such despair, Touma still constantly maintained his sanity, maintaining a hazy consciousness in this seemingly boundless hell, muttering in a low voice.
