Chapter 91.6: A Trillion Deaths! The Myriad Worlds Tremble! EPIC LEGEND!!!"
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
"True destruction and creation"
Is this the limit of a single universe's existence?
While Merlin was shocked, she was more excited.
Creation… destruction, as long as the golden-glowing Gungnir pointed, the barriers of various phases would be wiped out and reshaped along with the world.
This was not just the material universe, but also all the mythological planes like Heaven, Hell, the Underworld, Asgard, and even the Tree of Life were completely destroyed!
That was a true world destruction, the end of the universe, all life, matter, energy, and phases, except for the two figures on the screen; everything was destroyed by that perfect Magic God
Of course, except for the hidden world where the Magic God resided.
And that so-called hidden world, Merlin guessed it might be a special phase that couldn't be crushed by the Magic God's power.
According to the infinite division and descent of the real world and the Magic God, a single hair's breadth distance in that hidden world would be equivalent to infinity.
A Magic God… holding immense faith to transform the world, is this her first wish?
No… since Othinus became a Magic God, it means her wish has already been fulfilled. Could this be her second wish?
And Kamijou Touma is the only obstacle?

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Whether it's destroying a world or destroying a universe, such petty tricks can't cause the slightest ripple among the Magic Gods.
Are there other peers who haven't played enough? Then let her play, they just want to stay in the hidden world and slack off.
The only thing worth their attention is the Imagine Breaker.

〜Code Geass world〜
Is this the Evil of All Evils?
Concentrating all evil on one person, thereby…
Lelouch's expression was complex; he never expected to see the world he… desired on the screen.
—
『 Reversed World—
Kamijou Touma, as a hero, had his position reversed; now he was the epitome of evil, the embodiment of disaster.
"If people could see you correctly, at least one person would come to save you, right?" Othinus chuckled.
Seeing Kamijou Touma show no sign of submission, Othinus remained unfazed.
Once, twice, thrice, Kamijou Touma could resist, but what about countless worlds?
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, even hundreds of billions of cycles?
She believed that no matter how resilient Kamijou Touma was, he could not withstand the cycle of hell unique to Kamijou Touma. 』

[ Uchiha Madara (Naruto): "Casually creating worlds just to break one person's will, is this the true ultimate power? Compared to this, even a genjutsu like Infinite Tsukuyomi is as tiny as a firefly." ]
[ Anti-Spiral (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): "This is an infinite hell unique to one person." ]
[ Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto): "…A world where everyone betrays you… too painful." ]
[ Aizen (Bleach): "Stripping Kamijou of his relationships and his desire to fight for others, only to turn everyone against him—now that's truly vicious." ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Isn't that obviously trying to make this spiky-haired guy collapse?!" ]
[ Red A⦍EMIYA⦎ (Type-Moon): "That's right, people die when they are killed. If one despair isn't enough to make him collapse, then cycle until he does." ]
[ Nami (One Piece): "Isn't this just like Homura-chan?!" ]
[ The Batman Who Laughs (DCEU Earth-12): "Hahahahahahahaha! You guys got something wrong! When did anyone say it was the same despair! The same despair is too boring, now let's witness countless hells!" ]
[ Satanichia Kurumizawa Mcdowell (Gabriel DropOut): "Wh-what do you mean?" ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "What Kamijou Touma might experience is a rotating despair, meaning it's not experiencing countless deaths in this one world, but experiencing countless deaths in countless worlds, and each death, for any life, is an unbearable pain…" ]
[ Death (Soul Eater): "That's right, for me, death is natural, it is what I embrace, but for the living, it is hell and extreme collapse; each experience of death will shatter his sanity." ]
[ Kihara Amata (A Certain Magical Index): "Oi, oi....Th-this is impossible, even if Othinus is a Magic God, the energy required for infinite creation and destruction of universes…" ]
[ Fiamma (A Certain Magical Index): "Humans, never use your concepts to define a Magic God." ]
[ Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) "That's right, according to our calculations, even if Akemi Homura traveled through cycles before, she could at most maintain hundreds of times on the original basis before collapsing, and this is with Akemi Homura seeing hope. This human named Kamijou Touma would collapse after only a few hundred times." ]
[ Homura Akemi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "Heh, I think you're too comfortable in the Law of Cycles, Kyubey. Why don't you let Madoka add some emotions to you, too?" ]
[ Riku (No game, No life): "…What man versus god battle, this is simply torture for Kamijou Touma!" ]

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Academy City—
Kamijou Touma looked at himself in the screen, feeling pain in his heart.
But upon seeing Othinus destroy the entire world, a great sense of incomprehension, anger, and determination rose within him!
He would definitely not let such a thing happen. He didn't know why Othinus would do such a thing, but he had to stop her!
No matter how tragic a person's life was, they should have a chance to start over. Relationships twisted, eyes blinded by hatred, feeling unable to live a happy life.
But even such a person should have a chance to be liberated!
And now, he did see the former evil standing in a sunny world on the screen, but this time, it was his turn to struggle…
But even if he was the culprit who turned the world into this, as long as he accepted and made amends for everything…
He would definitely return to his original world!

『 Second World—
When Kamijou Touma opened his eyes, he found himself on his desk, having fallen asleep during his noon break.
It was just a nightmare. Kamijou Touma looked at his friends, teachers, and so on, who were, as usual, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Unlike the previous world, this was a new world, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Just as some had guessed, what awaited Kamijou Touma was not numb despair, but endless, unknown despair.
This was… why illusions were not worth mentioning in front of him.
Looking at the bewildered Kamijou Touma again, everyone inexplicably felt sad for him.
Even after experiencing two hells, when he woke up again, would he still think it was just a nightmare?
Everyone also saw from this that the existence named Kamijou Touma was an extremely optimistic boy.
So what awaited Kamijou Touma?
The first was the despair of extreme evil. What would the second world be like?
.....
『 The classroom was filled with the innocent joy and happy laughter of youth.
Touma nervously touched the wound from his dream, finding no trauma, meaning he had indeed just had a nightmare.
"Kamijou," Fukiyose suddenly called his name. Touma was about to answer, but was startled to find that someone else, a stranger, responded to Fukiyose's words.
Kamijou Touma didn't recognize that person… but that person was living his entire daily life, playing with friends, encountering misfortune, being asked for food by Index…
Snatching discounted eggs, meeting the Misaka sisters, predictably seeing fan service, and then encountering Misaka Mikoto, getting involved in a series of troubles.
"It's really fun," Kamijou said.
Although he would still be involved in various incidents in the future, if daily life continued like this, he would be able to handle it even if he stepped into unprecedented darkness!
Kamijou thought this from the bottom of his heart, and days repeated one after another.
However, the real Kamijou Touma was just sitting in the corner of the classroom, staring blankly and bewildered… watching that stranger named Kamijou take over his entire life.
A great sense of absurdity made Touma's eyes tremble, and he woke up again!
"Othinus…" 』
『 .....』
〜Warhammer 40k Universe〜
Denying the entire meaning of Kamijou Touma's existence?
The Chaos Gods, daemons, etc., in the Warp seemed to feel the extreme emotions accumulated in that human's heart across the screen.
The thought of making intelligent beings continuously produce delicious food appeared in the minds of the Chaos Gods.
—
『 Othinus appeared and calmly explained to the boy.
Kamijou Touma had saved many people in the past, but for those who were saved, it didn't matter who did the saving.
As long as someone extended a helping hand to save them, it didn't matter who it was; Kamijou Touma was just a name.
"No one is watching you, no one will be confused by your disappearance."
"As long as the solution and the people are in place, their world will turn on its own. It's just that level of connection, yet you almost sacrificed your life."
"Your value is only that much," Othinus scoffed. 』

〜Bungo Stray Dogs World〜
Dazai Osamu suddenly thought about the composition of light novels.
The extraordinary and the ordinary are two sides of a light novel, a recreation of ancient literary traditions.
Heroes reside in the middle ground between humans and gods; they feel humanity and ascend to divinity, being tainted by both sides.
One side needs war, the other needs daily life, because the protagonist needs this to identify themselves.
In the anxiety of the extraordinary, external conflicts repeatedly force the character's passion; in the ordinary, the character regains their human side.
And at this moment, Othinus's two questions shattered both sides.
Do relationships come from salvation? As long as one saves the other, the other will fall in love with them; what the other is infatuated with is merely the favor of charity.
The second question, identity collapse. Othinus denied everything about Kamijou Touma. After all, he was just a boy. No matter what was said, how could Kamijou Touma abandon his own life?
"This is simply ten thousand times more terrifying than endless hellish torment."

〜Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann World〜
"Quantum hell, multiverse labyrinth,"
Anti-Spiral murmured.
If this were repeated countless times, it would be a multiverse labyrinth.

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Academy City—
"…THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!"
Misaka Mikoto's eyes were red, and she personally came to Kamijou Touma and admitted it.
"Aren't you the only hero who can and is willing to step into hell for… us!"
"Um… I'm not good with words, I don't know what to say,"
Kamijou Touma awkwardly scratched his head, his face blushing, but the next moment.
Zhiziziz—the girl was too shy and excited, electric arcs flickered on her forehead, giving Kamijou Touma, who was initially embarrassed by such a confession, a shock to the core.
He was fine, of course! But his discounted eggs!
"Fukou da!"
—
『 After Othinus's various questions, Kamijou Touma fell silent. He quietly looked at the empty classroom and his lonely, bewildered self, an immense emptiness rising within him.
He felt no salvation, no hope, no motivation to live…
But in a flash, that emptiness vanished.
"…Do you want to continue?" Othinus asked indifferently.
"What do you want by denying all of this?!" Touma said in a low voice, "No matter what others say, this is my world, the world I've protected until now!"
"It may be insignificant to a Magic God, but to me, it has value worth risking my life to protect!"
"Is that so…" Othinus raised an eyebrow slightly, and the Gungnir reappeared in her hand.
She directly stated that she wanted to plunge Touma into despair and then correct his thoughts, but Touma retorted.
"That's meaningless."
Even if she buried the world and realized her own wish, only emptiness would await her.
"You mean this world doesn't need correction? Even if you are abandoned by loneliness, it doesn't matter?"
"I don't care!" Touma quickly replied. Although he was abandoned, and a stranger took his place in everything, they had their own sense of right and wrong, wouldn't be swayed, and were worthy of respect!
Therefore, if Othinus wanted to correct all of this, he would stand in front of her. Even if it only brought him pain, he shouldn't arbitrarily change them! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
A saint-like answer.
In all worlds, people listened to Kamijou Touma's answer, and although they were shocked by it, how long could such an answer last?
Or rather, how long could the boy's mind hold on?
.....
『 Othinus tried to deny Kamijou Touma, but Touma saw through Othinus's intentions!
His heart was no longer bewildered, and he firmly stated, "I am Kamijou Touma!"
Othinus, bored that her trick was exposed, snapped her fingers, and the world disappeared again.
She reluctantly gave Kamijou Touma her praise. 』
『 .....』
〜Naruto World〜
"Does that mean Kamijou Touma succeeded?! Othinus had a change of heart?!"
Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
Because of Kamijou Touma's determination and perfect performance, Othinus must have been moved by him!
It must be so, as expected of Kamijou Touma. He said profound truths that he couldn't understand or articulate; it was just like… talk-no-jutsu!
Kakashi sighed, looking at the excited Naruto,
"It's not that easy."
She overcame countless setbacks and difficulties to finally reach a realm above billions of living beings. How could she change her mind and completely deny her beliefs because of a few words?
Those who survive hardship are not necessarily strong, but the strong will definitely endure countless hardships.
What awaited Kamijou Touma would be boundless hell.
—
『 Like a bug about to be crushed, Othinus decided to give this tenacious human an even deeper darkness.
Despair, distortion, death, reincarnation—
Kamijou Touma saw countless worlds… experienced the despair of countless worlds.
His friends immediately chased him down, forcing him to a dead end.
Unjustly accused and hanged.
Trapped in the deep mountains awaiting rescue, to survive, he was cannibalized alive for his flesh and blood.
Conscious and buried in the earth, slowly rotting from his hands and feet, thrown into a lifeboat because Earth was beyond saving, directly cast into the void of the universe, dying a hollow and cold death.
Once, ten times, a hundred times, ten million times, a hundred million times…
The Magic God continuously destroyed and rebuilt worlds, placing a boy at the deepest bottom, tormenting him endlessly.
He was still himself, but Kamijou Touma's eyes grew emptier and deeper. Although his inner self had no clear shape, Touma could feel that his inner self was gradually shattering…
But even in such despair, Touma continuously maintained his sanity, maintaining a hazy consciousness in this seemingly boundless hell, murmuring in a low voice.
"You haven't destroyed anything." 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone in front of the screen watched, their pupils contracting to pinpoints, their scalps tingling, too shocked to speak!
A hundred million cycles of death, an infinite mixed hell, yet this boy was not destroyed?!!
Was he really still human? He didn't collapse after a hundred million deaths?!!
How could such a thing be POSSIBLE!!!
.....
〜SCP Foundation Universe〜
"He did it, a hundred million cycles of death… how incredible,"
The Four Doctors of Apocalypse said in shock.
If this boy were to erase the supreme divinity 3999, he could totally do it!
