Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

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...

In the video screen.

In the end, this project was even edited and split into thousands and tens of thousands of small screens that were barely visible.

More and more countless.

Anyone would be numb if it happened to them.

"This... this number of deaths." In front of the video, Natsuki Subaru from the Witch Plane felt a chill down his spine as he stared at the scene on the screen like a wooden chicken, muttering:

"It's just a nightmare, so many deaths."

Indeed, everyone knows that Kamijou Touma is a person full of perseverance and enthusiasm.

But...this is really exaggerated.

A desperate situation that has been tempered by thousands of trials.

A near-death experience from beginning to end.

This is an utterly uncountable number of times.

Even the perfect demon god Othinus gradually changed from a blank expression to showing emotions.

That uncontrollable irritability, uncontrollable confusion, and uncontrollable bewilderment.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the boy's increasingly bright and determined gaze.

In the end, she could no longer control her emotions.

She could not understand the thoughts of mortals.

I never hope that mortals will understand the purpose of my actions.

But, when torturing Kamijou Touma like this became the only endless cycle in her world.

No matter how plain one's personality is, the accumulated emotions will eventually pry open the container that fills it.

The girl questioned angrily.

Othinus heard a sound in his head, like bones rubbing against each other.

On the part of my face covered by the leather eye patch, I could feel something like a small snake wriggling on the inside of my skin.

That is the pulsation of blood vessels.

She has repeated it tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of times.

Just to wait for that insignificant boy to fail at any time and place.

It's a simple fact that you don't need to think about.

Even if you think about this obvious fact again and again, it is still just a simple fact.

but--

"Why won't you give in? Have you lost your true nature after being on the verge of death so many times? Are you the kind of person who would pat his chest and loudly declare that he is an idiot?"

Othinus shouted, looking like he had had enough.

It's rare for a human to make a god so excited. At least there's no such person in "The Trickster". At most, only Orelus who confronted her in the "Sea Cemetery" can be considered as such.

Then.

In the Demon God's mind, this young man seemed to be positioned by her as being on the same level as her mortal enemy, or even more difficult to deal with.

.....

"Isn't he afraid of pain?" Seeing this scene, Ye Jian, the leader of the Black Bull Knights of the Black Clover Plane, couldn't help but look solemn.

As one of the guardians of a country, he had naturally seen many people who would rather die than surrender.

However, this guy can be repeatedly tortured and killed millions of times and still keep fighting.

That's right...it's absolutely impossible that such a person really exists.

A warrior who can reach such a desperate situation and still refuse to surrender is rare even if all human history is taken into account.

Such a guy...

"Death is obviously the destination that ends suffering, and giving up everything can obviously end all the suffering... But why is it that even though he is being tortured like this, he is still unwilling to give up?"

This time, even Gon, who came from the Hunter world and had always admired Kamijou Touma and thought he was a great guy, frowned and encouraged him worriedly, while Killua next to him felt that death was a relief.

However, Kamijou Touma was unwilling to die, and continued to survive in a shameless way, preferring to provoke the demon god thousands of times and make it try to kill him.

result--

It is an endless cycle of purgatory.

Besides, even if we keep doing this, it will be useless.
