Her cute face showed a frightened expression, her beautiful and smooth blonde hair shrank in fear, and her tone was particularly frustrated and flustered as she acted cute: "This child named Kamijou Touma really has the ability to challenge higher-level opponents. He is really amazing~"
"Ah, if we want to have a conflict with Academy City, I'm really afraid that this kid will suddenly use his unusual fighting instinct to get close to a weak archbishop like me and beat me to death with one punch!"
Go to war with Academy City?
Should I say that he is worthy of being the Archbishop?
Seeing that so many powerful guys were unable to gain any benefits from Kamijou Touma, he could still say this so naturally.
Obviously, none of the guards could take Laura's casual words as a sincere evaluation.
Therefore, they didn't notice the hint of amusement and disdain that flashed across Laura's brows.
At this moment, the audience in front of the video are still confused about the beginning and end of this tense battle.
Misaka Mikoto is looking forward to the day when she can drop from the sky to save Touma: "By the way, we are members of the same team, but we have so few scenes... It's really too pitiful. In this case, can this idiot really solve all the problems!?"
On the other hand, the pure bystander trio of Kamijou, Shiti and Doumikado said: "This guy really doesn't play by the rules. He just abuses the opponent at will. This guy A-Kami!!"
The views of the various Anbu forces on this: "This is a meaningless battle. It has been a farce since the beginning. Who wins or loses has nothing to do with them, the Anbu."
There are tens of thousands of spectators, but the only ones who think there is still suspense in this battle are probably the bigwigs in the magic world who have seen through the tricks of Freya, the goddess of harvest.
Although the psychics on the scientific side are the highest-level geniuses in the world, they are absolutely no match for these old-school magicians in terms of this old and long-lost secret technique.
This trick is just a simple sleight of hand.
However, there was absolutely no way Touma could see that.
At this moment, his focus will be completely on the magician's abdomen.
....
The clip continues.
The giant boar cut through the top of the semicircular tunnel and rushed straight across the top of the train. At this time, Kamijou had already climbed the edge of the roof with both hands and successfully avoided it by sticking to the wall. Although Sidiswin's huge body was enough to fill the space, the pressure was limited to "the part higher than the roof of the train", and the gap on the side of the train was not affected at all. The storm generated by the huge body pushing forward would not blow here.
"Woo… huh, huh…"
The boy temporarily overcame the immediate crisis.
However, if he was so foolish as to climb straight up, Freya would resume her attack. Besides, she might be waiting for the moment when Kamijou would be defenseless and climb onto the roof.
A strategy to fight back is needed.
Fortunately, Freya should be confident of her victory. The boar has caused so much damage that it is difficult to confirm the body. We must prepare ourselves while she is proud. If someone steps on the ten fingers supporting Kamijou's body, he may hit the rapidly moving ground at an alarming speed.
...The biggest challenge is indeed the "taking off the coat" part.
Since you have to pull your hands out of your sleeves, you have to temporarily support your entire body weight with one arm.
Kamijou then grabbed the uniform he had taken off and supported his body using the pull-up technique, moving closer to Freya along the edge of the train.
Once you are close enough, all you have to do is wait.
As she looked down.
Just throw your uniform jacket over your view.
"Damn it, they actually used this trick!"
Freya yelled.
Even a magician would still feel a bit scared when standing on the edge of a train with his eyes covered. After all, if he accidentally stepped on empty space, he would fall headfirst.
If he didn't take the opportunity to climb onto the roof of the train, it would be Kamijou's turn to fall, but there was not enough time. Without being able to see anything, Freya deliberately let the gem in her hand fall to her feet.
Just chant like this.
"Cost 1·White·Call//Mist!"
(Are you… too busy to worry?)
After all, she was a pregnant woman, which made Kamijou hesitate, but his hesitation would lead to his death here. Freya would continue to exploit the fetus in her belly for her own purposes. If the shocking statement "it's been two years" was true, we couldn't just sit back and watch. The laws of this country didn't seem to give unborn fetuses human rights, but let that kind of thing eat shit.
Even if only a little.
He also decided to gamble on the possibility of being saved.
(Feel sorry!)
Kamijou apologized to the baby in his belly in his heart, supported his body with one hand, and swung his other hand towards the roof of the train. While Freya was panicking because she couldn't see, Kamijou swept her heel hard. "At least don't let your belly hit the ground" was Kamijou's consideration, but he couldn't calculate how dangerous it was to do so.
"Woo!"
Kamijou had already climbed onto the roof of the train before confirming that Freya had fallen to the ground.
Kamijou, who was lying prone, noticed that a large amount of wet red lines were converging towards the gem that had fallen to the ground.
He stood up quickly.
At the same time as the red line turned into a giant bird monster and attacked, the boy crushed it with his right fist.
(…The attack originated from those strange gems called Brisingaman.)
After confirming that the target had been defeated, Kamijou turned to the direction of the main enemy, Freya.
(As long as we take that thing away or destroy it, that guy will lose his means of attack. We must end it here no matter what! If we don't deal with her now, things will never end. In order to save the fetus in her belly, this situation must be avoided!)
Maternity clothes are meant to lighten the burden on the mother's body. The fabric is not too thick, and there are not too many extra pockets. This piece of clothing, which clearly shows the body line, has only two pockets, one on the left and one on the right.
"That's it!"
If the gem called Brisingaman itself was kept alive by magical power, then there would be no need to rob it. Just reach into her pocket and destroy all the bullets in stock.
This way he becomes a general.
Just as he was thinking this.
"Don't touch..."
A terrifying low voice came.
Freya bent her right knee like a spring and kicked it hard into Kamijou's abdomen.
"Don't touch my mom!"
At the same time as his navel was struck, an ambiguous shout slammed into Kamijou's ears.
The boy couldn't help but hold his breath. He rolled backwards, and Freya took the opportunity to stand up and throw away the uniform jacket covering her upper body. Kamijou coughed and grabbed the jacket that was blown by the strong wind with one hand.
Then he saw it clearly.
Freya, the goddess of fertility.
The self-proclaimed woman's belly lit up with intricate patterns that looked like they were emerging from the inside of a maternity dress.
"Shouldn't, shouldn't..."
There is a problem.
The boy's idea seemed to have gone wrong at the initial stage.
Kamijou felt a chill run down his spine.
A magician named Freya, and a fetus that was exploited as a computing device.
Kamijou originally thought that was the case, but it wasn't.
Didn't she say that before?
The mother has no talent. So the fetus performs the magic.
That is to say...
"Could it be that you..."
Kamijou spoke blankly.
From the tone of his words, he seemed unable to believe the thoughts that emerged in his mind.
Although he was looking at a woman wearing maternity clothes, they were essentially different.
The boy said to his bulging belly:
"You are Freya?"
...
Evil place.
Four seats——all shocked!!!
What an absurd reality this is.
When everyone believed that the magician used the embryo as a medium to perform magic.
Reality--
It's the exact opposite situation!!!
It's not the babies who are being exploited as a verification device...
It's the Matrix! ?
Chapter 182. Misaka Mikoto, Index, here they are!
Reverse, reverse, and reverse again!
God's work, folks.
The people who were induced by the magician's words not long ago to compare it to a cold-blooded creature are now depressed.
What is this?
Surprisingly, the final situation is such a result;
The magician is not a child-eating villain, but the pregnant woman's offspring made the choice on his own?
This...this is really confusing!
If that's the case, why was this guy unwilling to admit his true identity in the first place?
Did he deliberately throw out this smoke bomb in an attempt to anger Kamijou, who has such a good personality?
"So... you are Freya!?"
After hearing the sound that sounded like an angry cry, Kamijou Touma looked at it in astonishment. Looking at the faintly glowing magical patterns on the inside of Freya's maternity clothes, he finally figured out the truth.
Why the magician is unwilling to reveal his true identity.
And why have you been so vague?
Until this point, I can no longer hide the truth about myself.
Finally——!
Everything has surfaced!!
. Huodi.
Accompanying the video, Touma finds out the truth.
Off screen.
The audience's reaction was even more polarized.
"What! This is just like being in a movie!!"
"Come on, even though it sounds cliche, this can actually happen in real life! I can't believe it. I thought this was a normal development, how could it turn out like this!?"
"...Does such a thing actually exist?"
Watching the absurd and nonsensical development in the video, Touma, who had long been irritated by people like Freya who used children as props, was suddenly at a loss.
Watching the video in disbelief, the boy had countless questions in his mind. He couldn't understand the situation at this time. Why did everything gradually move towards such an incredible angle! ?
The Gremlin who came to stop him in the video was not a pregnant woman but... a baby! ?
"Well, sometimes there are people who are a bit out of the ordinary. Just get used to it, Touma! That's the beauty of magic!"
The dazed look of the young boy was seen by the kind-hearted nun. Although she was petite herself, she showed a tolerant and compassionate attitude at this moment. She crossed her hands in front of her chest and prayed devoutly, as if she wanted to lead Kamijou Touma to this world called magic.
Of course, the boy, whose attention was drawn to the fight going on in the video, had no intention of listening carefully to this explanation. He could only make some perfunctory responses such as "hmm" and "ah" while staring at the screen intently.
Similarly, this scene, and the story that continues to unfold around this breaking incident, continues.However, some viewers' attention has shifted away from this aspect.
"I'm afraid that this baby is the real key to releasing magic, and the pregnant woman is the one who has lost herself."
Aizen Sosuke's mind was racing. He almost witnessed the entire scene in the video, and he knew the answer the moment he saw the divine reversal.
Indeed.
It's true that the magician is pregnant.
but.
Pregnant women are merely carriers.
It seems now.
She is not the real magician.
It is the embryo that has been growing in her body for several years but has not yet been born.
This is worth studying.
A baby that has lived inside the human body and absorbed nutrients for more than two and a half years?
There is no doubt that after witnessing this scene, the crazy scientists from all over the world will definitely have some ulterior motives out of love for the whole family.
If there is any other way in this world besides bloodline to train descendants to become powerful.
The two most effective methods are to extract genes for artificial cultivation, or to preserve the embryos for a long period of time for nurturing and adjustment.
The reason is very simple, because the embryo is the origin of human life, and it is also the life node that is most likely to absorb those variable factors.
Although young life forms with extremely high talents also have this relatively high-standard talent training method, the most useful method is the newly born embryo.
The man named Aizen Sosuke was certain of this.
because--
The young traveling boy who caused him to be in disgrace and hopeless was the one he had gradually cultivated from the plan he had formulated more than a hundred years ago. He was the epitome of all the special powers in the world of death.
Let's celebrate! Ichigo Kurosaki is the strongest creature with the four spiritual physiques, a descendant of the Shinigami of the Shiba family, who has gathered the power of Quincies, Fullbring, Shinigami, and Hollows.
Also because.
When Aizen Sosuke witnessed this scene in the video.
I couldn't help but find this interesting and wanted to discuss it.
"It's a very good topic. I would like to ask all the viewers, does anyone have any personal opinion on this?"
Such inquiries are just like throwing out some ideas.
He did not express his opinion directly.
Instead, ask experts from different worlds.
For example, Orochimaru who was often active in the live broadcast room, Brother Dio who prefers to eat bread, and Boss Kobe who has successfully fallen into the Infernal Affairs, all of them are masters immersed in this art.
"Ah, this is the method. I am just using my offspring as a reserve of my own flesh to continuously improve my magic ability. I am completely outdone in this aspect of being despicable."
In the mansion of Border Lord Roswaal, the Border Lord, who was dressed up in makeup, couldn't help but laugh heartily in a playful manner, and seemed to be very interested in this farce. After all, if you have to say it, he, who has always been deeply immersed in magic, can be regarded as a mad scientist who uses biological organisms for research.
Seeing everyone starting to discuss this topic, he directly and proudly joined in.
This proud look makes him look like a god who has developed an unsolved mystery of the world.
"Has he always been like this?" Natsuki Subaru was a little speechless. Although he had learned about Roswaal's personality and purpose from the clips, he had never really witnessed the true nature of a magician.
However, Remram, who had lived here for a long time, shrugged his shoulders and seemed to be not shy about it.
Parker wanted to complain a little, after all, he still couldn't get over Roswaal's despicable behavior in the previous Re0 clip.
Unfortunately, Emilia stopped her godfather from saying these meaningless words.
Speaking of which, in today's Roswaal Mansion, the only person who can truly be said to fully understand Roswaal is probably Betty, who has known Roswaal for four or five hundred years.
"Of course, Subaru. You don't know that Roswaal is a crazy and paranoid person. Especially his obsession with his mother, which directly turned him into the evil he is now."
The blonde double-helix girl said so crisply, and then she closed the book and sat on Natsuki Subaru's knees, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar Border Lord with a complicated look in her eyes: "Speaking of which, Roswaal has always been this kind of person. He never likes to show his feelings, but I didn't expect... He is so interested in the field of possession and embryos. Seeing that someone is discussing it in the live broadcast room, he is so excited to share his insights."
From the perspective of ordinary people, this kind of behavior is an act that deserves punishment from God.
However, this guy seemed quite contented, as if he was discussing some academic issues with others.
Look at other guys who are just as enthusiastic about sharing their research.
What is Orochimaru... What is Teng Yang Tian Xia...
You can tell from their names that they are not good people.
But it seems like Roswaal is really enjoying it.
"By the way, this embryo-formed magician is really chilling."
Betty couldn't help but lower her eyelids and moan softly as she watched the scenes in the video.
The Re0 world is a magical world with a Western fantasy background.
But if we talk about the purpose of magic in all aspects.
Compared to this world called A Certain Magical Index.
I'm afraid it's only at the superficial level.
"In this world..."
Staggering.
Freya, the goddess of fertility, slowly stood up on the roof of the train.
No, strictly speaking that is not the case.
She reversed the process by using the umbilical cord that connects mother and child to manipulate the female body to stand.
"…some people can't be saved no matter what."
The tunnel ceiling became slightly lower.
Kamijou could not help but bend down. In contrast, Freya remained standing still. Seeing her head so close to the ceiling, Kamijou's heart tightened.
"It doesn't matter if it's ten years of hard work or a hundred years of research. Even if you achieve this, there are still people who die in despair without any comfort. I know such people..."
Even Kamijou, who didn't understand what was going on, could tell who she was talking about.
What if the child manipulated the mother? If she didn't manipulate, the mother wouldn't even be able to stand on her own feet?
What happened to this mother?
"What does this have to do with the 'troublemakers' who spread so much destruction?"
This mother and daughter must have a past.
Just listening to it can make one's chest feel so sad that it feels like it's about to explode.
"As long as the whole world is destroyed, the culprit who hurt you will definitely be among them - are you going to say that you obeyed the "troublemaker" because of this thought!?"
"You seem to have completely missed the true nature of the 'troublemaker'."
The woman forced a self-deprecating smile on her face.
At this moment, this is echoing the will of the "tenant".
"Even if I tell you that ten years of hard work and a hundred years of research are meaningless from the beginning... Only that demon god can ignore such restrictions. It doesn't matter how much evil there is in the world. As long as the "Lance" is completed! I can save my mother from the nightmare that no matter which way she goes, she will die!"
"…"
Kamijou considered this possibility for a split second, just a split second.
If the demon god Othinus did not bring destruction, but instead extended a helping hand to people—
But.
wrong.
"…The Hawaiian Islands, Bagagegi City. Someone who did those things and still can call it a great success can't possibly have a righteous heart. Besides, as long as the 'Lance' is completed, Othinus won't have to care about anyone's opinion!"
"That's fine. Anyway, this emergency measure can't last forever. Although I am controlling Mom through the umbilical cord now, Mom's self in a free state is gradually becoming thinner and will sooner or later reach its limit and dissipate. Having said that, if I am removed, Mom won't even be able to function her internal organs. No matter which way to go, it will be a dead end. There is only one way to protect Mom from the impending destruction, and that is to use the power of that "Demon God" that can reconcile contradictions!"
"Don't you see the truth? Those words are just sweet words from that guy called Othinus to take advantage of you! It's exactly the same as the current situation in this city! By dividing everyone and making them feel that 'even though it's wrong, it might be more profitable to obey', we can avoid rebellion within the organization! That's all Othinus thought!"
"My mother! She fell to protect me! She could have returned to her original world as if nothing had happened by just abandoning me, but she only thought about me!"
These sad and angry words seemed to be accompanied by a physical impact.
Kamijou Touma was only a high school boy after all, and he had no basis to refute these words.
However.
Women wearing maternity clothes must have fought in that kind of environment in the past.
In a place Kamijou could never imagine.
Fight to protect life.
"So you're not allowed to get in the way."
A "crunching" sound of something scraping against a hard object mixed in.
Kamijou realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Before 'that moment' arrives, before the moment of returning the body arrives, I will never let anyone harm this mother body!"
The sound came from below.
But there was nothing on the roof of the train where the boy was standing.
The location is further down.
That's right. This is actually a five-car train, and the huge car has a lot of space. When Kamijou moved against the wall to attack Freya, it was difficult for him to support his body, and his eyes were always naturally fixed on his hands, without looking inside the car. But what if Freya used the space inside the car effectively?
Specifically.
What if she summoned a large number of monsters during Kamijou's battle, and only let one of the main monsters devour the "feed" and continue to grow larger...?
"Cost 70·Black·Evolution//『Underground Dragon』Vol.02!"
Just after the train exits the tunnel.
Strong sunlight filled the entire view.
Freya aimed at the upper item and launched a dazzling instant attack.
As she screamed, the carriage Kamijou was standing on tore apart from the inside like a piece of plastic sheeting, and the huge red dragon's jaws poked out from it. Freya took three or four steps back and moved to the carriage in front. When Kamijou saw this, he had already been thrown into the air with the broken carriage, and the carriage behind him was also affected and derailed.
This time.
He could no longer land on top of the remaining carriage.
It could only end up being torn into pieces along with the following carriages that were reduced to wreckage.
(hateful...)
The woman in maternity clothes was standing right in front of him, out of reach of him.
The extremely young magician Freya and the mother she wants to protect.
Even though she knew that she might just be being used by the demon god Othinus, she could only cling to those mother and daughter who had little chance.
(How can it end like this... I! Haven't! Use this hand! To grab anything!)
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, Kamijou's body, which was falling, changed direction. It was interference from outside. When Kamijou realized this, he noticed someone grabbing his uniform from behind.
That was a girl who fell from the sky.
That was a girl who was trying a stunt in order to jump onto the roof of a subway car.
That is a girl who can freely manipulate magnetism to fly between tall buildings.
That girl was holding the girl in white with one hand, and saving Kamijou from death with the other.
Misaka Mikoto.
The third-ranked esper in Academy City and the ace of Tokiwadai Junior High School landed on the roof of the train like an arrow.
There were only two carriages left.
Even after landing safely, Kamijou, who was slumped in his seat, still couldn't believe for a moment that he was still alive.
