^Well, according to Birdway, ''what [Kamijou] hold is not good or evil. [He] holds the seeds to a great wave that cannot be described in those terms.    If he is being influenced by the Invisible Thing, it's to work towards its ''goals. But I don't think it influences him since he kinda made it  submit to his authority at the climax of World War 3.

Also, to the Anon wondering why Touma acts like he does, well, have you read New Testament volume 6? During Leivinia Birdway and Touma's fight, Touma confronts Leivinia about her methods (like how she voluntarily involved the Kamijou Faction in Hawaii, provoking the chain of events leading to Baggage City and its tragic end), and the Leivinia justifies her ways by confronting Touma's attitude and its flaws. It is all explained here:

  “…You’re insane,” muttered Birdway. ''

''She had continually investigated the leaders and charismatic people of many eras and cultures who could have been ostracized had things been even a little different. And yet she could not help but let those words spill out.''

''“You’re completely insane. I had glimpsed some odd things in you before, but this settles it. …'''Why do you just assume that you will fight? Why do you see nothing wrong with having things taken from you? You aren’t some war-crazed person who has lost his place in a normal peaceful life. Nor are you some sheltered person who has never seen true battle yet wishes to join the world he sees on TV. I can’t figure out what it is that drives you!'”

“You want to know why?”

Kamijou thought for a bit while still in that hopeless situation.

Why had he taken part in all of the previous incidents?

'Was it because he was surrounded by misfortune? Was he constantly getting wrapped up in incidents he wanted to avoid and was constantly getting stuck in positions where he would be killed if he did not resolve them?'

'Had it been Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Stiyl Magnus, the Anglican Church, or Academy City? Had those different people or groups made careful preparations to ensure a situation where he could not run away?'

'Had it been because he had never once met a simple villain of the sort seen in movies? Had it been because he was terribly reluctant to simply discard any of them?'

''Many different ideas came to mind. And ultimately…''

Kamijou Touma shook all of them out of his head and replied.

“I think it was because I never had a single reason to abandon them.”

“…I’ve heard enough,” spat out Birdway.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">This time, she would actually fire.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Her finger was on the trigger. <p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;">''“I have always wondered how Academy City is able to control someone like you. The biggest threat you hold is not the power of your right hand or even  '' that which is hidden within. '' Nor is it the precognition you have gained from your past experiences. Even with a right hand that can negate supernatural abilities, a normal person would not be able to accomplish much. The hand itself cannot burn anything or gather any information. And yet you have left accomplishments behind. You did not join in because of that right hand. It was you who made use of the power residing in your right hand.”'' <p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">“You’re only figuring that out now?” ''

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Make of that what you will.
