Magic God Othinus Arc

The Magic God Othinus Arc is a major story arc introduced in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index. It occurs sometime in mid-to-late November of the current year of the story timeline.

This story arc follows on from the previous arcs, with GREMLIN having acquired everything they need to forge Gungnir, which will unify Othinus' infinite possibilities, making her unstoppable. In response to this threat, various factions prepare to attack GREMLIN's base in Sargasso to prevent the completion of the spear and the likely end of the world. The arc not only centers around their attempts on stopping GREMLIN but overall effects of GREMLIN's actions on the world.

GREMLIN plans
Having gathered all the requirements for the creation of Gungnir, GREMLIN prepares for its construction. However, they are unaware that Othinus is playing them for fools. She used them to help her aid in the creation of Gungir, in spite of being able to create it on her own, propagating false information that there was only method and that it was the only way to acquire Gungnir. But it was just one of the many branches she can get Gugnir, and though it would've worked as well, she could easily make it own her own. This is because she used it as a decoy for her subordinates and especially those of her enemies who will surely interfere.

But her problem with the infinite possibilities of being a magic god still troubled her. Intending to unify her infinite possibilities, she saw that she could only rely on achieving 100% success through the fulfilling the decoy plan, seeing as the Imagine Breaker, being the reference point of the world is of no use. And she saw no way to achieve 100% failure as well, as she has reacheve a level where it would be difficult to obtain a truly 100% and thorough defeat.

And so, Othinus ordered moving Sargasso on Tokyo Bay, and had left the care of the Sargasso of the North Sea to Loki. Loki however, suspected that there was a traitor in their midst and put a spell around the Sargasso Othinus was on in order to trick the traitor of Sargasso's true location. The reason for Othinus putting Sargasso in Tokyo Bay instead of directly attacking Academy City was to delay her enemies from attacking GREMLIN while they are busy constructing GREMLIN via distributing what people stood to gain. This method would stop the people from uniting for the common goal of defeating them, a scenario they have seen in World War III against Fiamma of the Right. For the purpose of this plan she had GREMLIN put Muspell traps around the city, destroyed chosen roads and bridges, and most likely manipulated Tokyo's communications network. Finally, GREMLIN also extended this manipulation through the use of manipulating strangers to post things on the Internet to continue the distribution of what people want to gain.

With those in place, Othinus orders Thor, who is actually Ollerus in disguise, to take command of protecting Sargasso as she, Marian Slingeneyer, Bersi, and Mjölnir, allowing him to make use of Mokkerkalfe and command Freyja.

Ollerus' plans
Ollerus who had infiltrated a GREMLIN as Thor begain making his move as well. Through Silvia he made contact with the Anglican Church and most likely the other nations that would later compose the Anti-GREMLIN Alliance regarding the threat regarding Othinus and GREMLIN. This is most likely to support him in his plan in stopping or at least delaying the creating Gungnir. Prior to infiltrating GREMLIN Ollerus had researched on the fairies and made up a spell to turn Othinus into a fairy, based on the history that fairies may have been gods once but turned into fairies as Christianity. He also however prepared for his failure, and had Fiamma of the Right learn of the spell as well. Fiamma of the Right who was missing through the entirety of GREMLIN's infilration of Academy City, proved that he can be hidden and can act freely within a collection of powerful people by hiding infiltrating Sargasso.

After some effort, Ollerus manages to discover the location of the Sargasso he was on without revealing himself, completely unaware however, that he has fallen for Loki's ruse. He then decided to use the "heart on the plate" to control Mokkerkalfe remotely and borrow the line to send information to the Anglican Church. Elizard would later acquire that information even before the start of the conference with the rest of the heads of state and leaders in New York.

Anti-GREMLIN Alliance plans
With the various nations that are antagonistic against GREMLIN informed of the true extent of their power, the Anti-GREMLIN Alliance is formed, and United States President Roberto Katze calls for an unofficial meeting with the heads of state or leaders of those nations that are antagonistic to GREMLIN.

Kamijou Touma's right hand becomes a key component in the Alliance's plans against GREMLIN as they have no choice but to use him. Leivinia Birdway of the Dawn-Colored Sunlight and Lessar and New Light volunteer to go to Academy City to meet with Touma to make sure that his right hand can be used at anytime when the Alliance is ready. Leivinia Birdway herself is connected to the Alliance herself as an "illegal" in their meeting in New York waiting for their move. For this purpose Academy City has given their cooperation by allowing Touma to go and giving them the use of a Supersonic Passenger Plane to ferry them wherever they are needed in the world. The plan was for them to bring Touma to the location of GREMLIN's headquarters after it is discovered by the Alliance, and then with the support of the military forces, have and his Imagine Breaker at a single opportune moment, like when Gungnir is on the verge of completion, instead of Touma fighting a lengthy battle.

Chronology: GREMLIN invasion of Tokyo
Touma, Index, Lessar, and Leivinia leave Touma's apartment in order to go to the airport in School District 23 where their transportation awaits them. While they are waiting for a bus, Misaka Mikoto comes upon them. She saw Touma sitting on a bench with girls clinging to him then instead of becoming angry due to the unpleasant sight, she just muttered to herself that she is sick of this position. Suddenly an adult woman in showy suit spoke to her and she recognized that this woman was under Shokuhou Misaki's control. Misaki then teased her regarding Touma and asked if she wants to know what's going on to which she replied that she isn't at all interested. Misaki then provoked Mikoto by saying she will approach him, ask him and seduce him by controlling more girls stating that he will at least like one of them. Mikoto then panicked and told Misaki that if she continues doing this, there would be chaos. She then controlled magnetism to lift up the bench where Touma and the others are sitting and sent it to the other side of the river. Mikoto then landed on the bench and demanded an explanation from Touma. Mikoto later tags along with them to School District 23. There, they spent most of their time arguing amongst themselves what swimsuits they should wear and forcing Touma into incredibly awkward situations.

Anti-GREMLIN Alliance conference in New York
After everyone has been briefed on the fantastical topics of the current situation of GREMLIN, the lance of Gungnir, and Sargasso, Roseline Krackhart speaks to summarize and clarify what they just discussed.

Elizard says that she is correct and that the information comes from a spy in GREMLIN. She then says that what matter most is the creation of the lance at Sargasso as it is very dangerous. Roberto doesn't understand and compares it to a nuclear weapon. After the other state heads take turns explaining the danger of the lance of Gungnir, Elizard says that it must be stop before it is finished. Roberto then asks how they will find it, noting the extremely difficulty of such a task in such a short timeframe. Elizard says that it is not impossible, surprising Roseline. Elizard not only gives an example but confides to them that England had a secret secret transportation network that allowed them to fill the entire world with their magicians. Elizard comments on the Roman Catholic Church and its countless followers, assuming that the Church may have a large scale magic to utilize each member of the Church who is wearing a symbol of their Church. Pope Pietro Yogdis says that he can think of a few but has shut them all down since the dissolution of God's Right and shall never see the light of day so long as he is around. And thus it is revealed that already know the location of Sargasso, apparently waiting for a proper deliberation from all the members of the conference before making a decision. Elizard suggests the use of standard forces comprising of America, Russia, England, and France, while the magical forces however, will be led by England, Rome, Russia, and France, though requiring other countries to double duty. Hearing this, Russia and France readily agreed.

Elizard then asks President Roberto Katze on how much firepower they could use. Roberto answers that since the House of Representatives is still itching for revenge over the invasion of Hawaii, he can get immediate approval from them for an attack on Sargasso. Roberto states that he can officially use the military stationed at four overseas bases in allied nations and if Sargasso is in international waters or the territorial waters of America, the European Union, or any other allied nation, he can have ballistic missiles fired in the name of having a test launch. And though he cannot use any nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, he can at least have them fill the warhead with bunker clusters. Concerns over straining of the relationships between the countries later arise after Roberto's politically dangerous suggestion, to which he concludes by saying that he'd rather have countries gaining grudges with each other for what they will do than have the world destroyed today. Krans R. Tsarskiy then asks where the Sargasso might be, to which Elizard states may be in the North Sea or the sea near Iceland.

Meanwhile, Kumokawa Maria sees Touma in the airport and calls out to him, to which Leivinia, Index, Lessar, Mikoto reacted as for Touma meeting another girl unknown to them and Touma wondering why they don't know her. She was then asked by Touma why is she there to which she replied that she is in the middle of an on-site training regarding using different languages to guide businessmen. Touma was dumbfounded and Mikoto explained it to him. Touma then asked how things have been going since that event in Baggage City and she said that she's email friends with the mixed martial artist girl and the ninja girl disappeared somewhere. She also said that she is not satisfied with what happened to her teacher and asked who is that eyepatch girl whom she felt an incomprehensible fear at that time. Touma then just assured her that they will know before long and she would be able to meet Kihara Kagun once again. Leivinia then received a word that they finally have their cue as to where Sargasso is as the attack on the North Sea Sargasso begins. Maria later leaves and Maria pondered on how to get to Kagun despite her fear of GREMLIN and Othinus. Realizing however that Othinus is desecrating Kagun's body by resurrecting him for her plans instead of giving him a proper plans, Maria decides to get him back no matter what. And the only thread connecting her to GREMLIN is through Kamijou Touma.

Anti-GREMLIN Alliance attack on the North Sea Sargasso
Carissa, William Orwell, and the Knight Leader of the Knights of England were chosen for this operation. For this operation, they were allowed to use two mobile fortresses, the Queen Mermaid and the Hotel Aerial. A third one, the Fly in the Heavens could not be prepared for them in time. While the mobile fortresses could move quickly across the sea and through the air, they could only be deployed instantly within a certain range. Carissa, William, and Knight Leader made preparations under the assumption that the enemy base would be located within that range.

The attack was made up mostly of British forces, led by Carissa, William Orwell, and Knight Leader. The plan was for the British forces to approach Sargasso and attack it as the first wave, and then have America and Russia attack it for the second wave. By the second wave, Kamijou Touma and his Imagine Breaker should arrive as well and be used to destroy the equipment used to produce the lance. After the island's bombing, the landing forces consisting of the knights and the three would attack GREMLIN's flank while they were wholly focused on defending from the front. That way, they could exterminate GREMLIN before they could use their many strange spells. The three arrive by air on one of the oil platforms using its heliport, and would then continue toward Sargasso by boat.

Several military boats approach Sargasso. There, Carissa receives word that America and Russia will be a little late, and though the other two can enter as the second wave of attack, they determined that they will take all glory for themselves. William Orwell asks when Touma will get here, to which Carissa states that he should arrive by the second wave, and notes that due to Academy City's Supersonic Passenger Plane he may arrive before the American and Russian forces. As the island became visible, it is bombed by several Grape Jelly bombs and the Mont Blanc bombs. As the attack takes place, William notes on how Carissa's methods never change, and warn her that due to the incident she caused in England, the British Halloween, GREMLIN may had analyzed her methods. Carissa replies that if one removes all the waste and search for the optimal usage of one's weapons, everyone will ultimately arrive at the same place. She states that a military run by a nation needs is an attack method that is impossible to avoid even if you know it’s coming. As the begin to land on the island, Carissa isn't optimistic enough to think that the bombing was enough to kill all the members of GREMLIN, but believed that since they still have the physical body of a human, then they can be killed.

Landing on the island, they are informed that there is no need for gas masks for there were no toxic substances detected after the bombing. Thus, they and the British forces begin their search for GREMLIN. Then, they here a voice up on a wrecked tanker in the island. His name is Loki, and he introduces himself to them. He comments that "Lady Othinus" gave him the task of protecting the Sargasso of the North Sea with his life. His explanation is cut short however, after he is shot through the throat with an arrow fired via the Robin Hood spell. Loki then fell from the tip of the tanker he was standing on and slammed to the ground. Carissa then ordered all of her men to continue moving forward. Loki however suddenly rises, explaining that he is just an illusion and the real Loki is no where near the area. He explains that he was suspicious of his teammates and worried about a spy, so he created an artificial sky over Sargasso and altered Marian Slingeneyer's notes. Reports from the landed forces state that the teams have found no trace of the magic god or the production of the lance in the island: it is completely empty. Carrisa and the others then realize they have been led to a false Sargasso on the other side of the world. The illusion bids them farewell and disappears, just as the place is bombed.

GREMLIN invasion of Tokyo
The conference in New York later receives the report from the disastrous operation. Of others, it included Orsola Aquinas and Sherry Cromwell who provided support through information organization in London's national library, as well as Leivinia Birdway herself, who is then receives the shocking location of the true Sargasso, in Tokyo Bay.

Kamijou Touma and their group evidently feel GREMLIN's pressure, as the airport begins announcement telling people to go to the underground shelters. Touma later discovers from Leivinia on how the battlefield is in Tokyo Bay. Touma is hesitant however, as he believes that GREMLIN will attack Academy City, but Leivinia tells him that the swiftest way to prevent the shed of blood is for Touma to destroy Gungnir before the forces of Academy City and GREMLIN collide. Having no choice, Touma follows Leivinia to get to their plane. Mikoto later calls out to him, and asks him if Tokyo becoming a battlefield like in Hawaii is just a joke. But Touma says that he doesn't know but tells her that she should be able to tell with the tense situation they are in. Mikoto says that her mother lives in Tokyo and needs something more concrete than what Touma just said. Pressed for time, Touma tells her to come with him as it is better than just watching. Index then runs up to him asking why he isn't relying on a magic expert such as herself is he's going to fight magicians. Touma just says "fine" to this, not having time for their questions. Meanwhile, after Maria finally decides to follow Touma to get to GREMLIN and by proxy Kihara Kagun, she finds Touma are about to the supersonic passenger plane via an electronic cart, Maria jumped on Touma's lap while saying that she will be going with them and she will do anything just to let her go with them to which Lessar was shocked at Maria's action saying that she may be mistaken on who her real rival is. Leivinia then signalled the cart driver to go and approach the plane. Just before they took off, Maria apologized to Touma for asking him to do a favor to which Touma did not think of it as a major issue. Lessar then guided her to her proper seat and buckled up. Not long after taking off, they are above Tokyo. There, however, they are intercepted by a red dragon, Freyja's Níðhöggr, and easily slicing it into two, and dislodging all its passengers.

Othinus cows Kakine Teitoku
Kihara Kagun continues his part in the creation of Gungnir. Here, he was shown to be silently working on the parallel processor that will be used to send signals to produce Dark Matter. His job was to find the computers from the radios, fishfinders, navigation control systems, and other devices installed on the dozens or even hundreds of ruined ships that had drifted to Sargasso. Once he found them, he would connect them with cables and make some programming adjustments so they could function as a parallel processor. This high-speed and large-scale processor was necessary to use the empty husk of the #2 which had been retrieved from Academy City.

Just before the invasion begins, Kagun sets up the the parallel processor to send signals to Kakine's flesh and blood organs in order for it to produce Dark Matter. After some time, the organs produced white sticky substance and gathered to form Kakine's own body. Othinus and Kagun both realized that Kakine is already concsious. After hearing the conversation of Othinus and Kagun regarding of using him for their own purpose, he started to devour all the equipments attached to him and declared that all he knows is their fate for using him as a tool then attempt to attack them. He formed a dome around the headquarters of GREMLIN and proceeded to attack. Before the attack arrived, Othinus subdued Kakine by unhesitatingly grabbing Kakine's neck in one hand, digging her fingertips to his neck. At that instant the dome collapsed. Othinus and Kagun then exchanged a few short words. Othinus then forced Kakine to submission and transformed him into a mass the size of a volleyball then tossed it to Bersi and commanded him to do what needs to be done with it. She then senses that their base was already found by their enemies. Mokkerkalfe and Níðhöggr are later deployed, indicating the start of the invasion.

Kamijou Touma
After falling from the plane, Touma plummets towards the earth with Níðhöggr ever stalking him. Although he has with him a parachute, it opened in a queer way. As he falls, it is broken as his parachute is caught by a crane. There is a nearby building below Touma, and as he ponders on what to do, his parachute begins to rip. Touma then tries to climb up the crane before that happens. However, Níðhöggr catches up to him again and smashes the crane, making Touma fall. As he falls, he is able to get close into one of the buildings floors, and enter it through one of the still glassless windows. After bearing the pain of the fall, Touma quickly hides away from Níðhöggr, who quickly leaves after being unable to find him. After recovering, Touma tries to call up Index and discovers that the networks both Internet and phone have become congested and that only the emergency voice message service can be used. He becomes suspicious of this and looks out the window to see the streets being flooded by people, a result of GREMLIN distributing what people stood to gain.

With communications still down and no message for him in the disaster messageboards, Touma is left on his own in a city he is unfamiliar with. With time of the essence, Touma heads out to Tokyo Bay on his own, and decides to go down the subway tunnles, believing them to be abandoned. Touma tries to force his way through the crowds in order to get to the station, after much effort he escapes the crowded places but the instead runs into Muspells. As he was not stalled by GREMLIN's manipulations, several appear before him. Still desperate to get to Tokyo Bay, Touma runs lets out his right hand and ran straight through them, easily destroying them. In the end, Touma discovers that the subway trains are still running thorugh the tunnels. Seeing this as an opportunity to get to Tokyo Bay faster, he crawls into a ventelation duct, and tries to time his jump onto a passing train. With some difficulty, Touma is able to land on the subway train, and there, later meets face to face with Freyja.

Index and Misaka Mikoto
Both Index, with Sphynx, and Mikoto fall from the plane as well. While Mikoto has a parachute which worked fine, Index doesn't. Mikoto later sees Index falling, prompting her to stop using her parachute and caught Index who is chaotically rotating as she fell. Mikoto then controlled magnetism and landed vertically on the wall of a giant train station building while holding Index. Mikoto was dumbfounded that the place was so packed with people to the point that she can't see the sidewalk. Index then told her that it was GREMLIN's doing. Suddenly, a Níðhöggr flew over their heads but did not attacked them. Mikoto then tried to use her cellphone but it was of no avail since the lines were apparently overloaded. Mikoto could not see the benefit of GREMLIN being in Tokyo and frustrating people enough to flood the streets, thinking that it'd be better if they attacked Academy City directly or destroyed Tokyo because it was in their way. However, she then realizes that GREMLIN is trying to distribute what people stood to gain as well. .

Mikoto then started to move from building to building using her magnetism and while still holding Index. They are heading for Sargasso since Mikoto thought that Touma will probably head there. While moving, Index then warned Mikoto to watch out and they landed perpendicularly on the side of a high rise building. As soon as she did, countless of sparks appeared floating down and each spark struck the glass wall and produced pillars of flame that took form. Index then explained that it is the Muspell from the Norse Mythology to which Mikoto doesn't understand, but is forced to take them on. Mikoto with Index later continue try and searching for Touma.

Leivinia Birdway, Lessar, and Kumokawa Maria
In contrast to the others, Leivinia, Lessar, and Maria manage to land safely in a certain shopping district in Tokyo. They then sense a low rumbling sound and proceeded to a nearby buliding. Immediately afterwards, two waves of people suddenly met up in the narrow intersection as if colliding. Leivinia then realized that GREMLIN just made a human wall so as to clog the streets and sidewalks. Maria complains on how needlessly complicated GREMLIN is, saying that it'd be easier if they just destroyed buildings to make barricades to block people's path instead of manipulating them.. Leivinia then says that what she's saying is true, but then asks her what their barricade is truly meant to hold. She asks Maria if a group willing to make an enemy of the entire world only worried about them. Maria then asks what they are trying to stop, to which Leivinia says it a much larger framework. She says that GREMLIN is maintaining a situation with little damage but where they can cause great damage and bloodshed at any moment, and says that GREMLIN is trying to distribute what people stood to gain from the situation.

While Touma goes for the tunnels and Mikoto goes from building to building, the girls instead take to the river and later find themselves in a sewers. Here, they too encounter the Muspells from Norse mythology. Leivinia explains that they are a trap set up against those who are not "stalled," and says that those who left using helicopters and chartered planes may have been wiped out by them. Leivinia and Lessar easily counter the Muspells however, and they continue on their way to Sargasso. They believe that they should do what they can to get there even if they can't use Touma's Imagine Breaker, but opens up a possibility that Touma is already there and will need their support. They later acquire a motorboat for their purpose.

Anti-GREMLIN Alliance response to the invasion
Roberto connects to a hotline with a Japanese representative on the other line. Roberto chastises a Japanese representative over the phone, asking why they have yet to make a move against GREMLIN, demanding consent that the United States should intervene. After the representative doesn't give a satisfactory response, Roberto ends the call. Elizard says that he should've asked what Academy City intends to do, though Roberto doubts that they would've known anyway. Roseline says that the Japanese government is divided on the issue, and Academy City has made no announcement. She is amazed at GREMLIN for intentionally created this current balance of power. With the clock ticking and with the Japanese government neutered into focusing in moving their government elsewhere before taking action, Roberto deliberates on his choices. Pietro then says that Academy City will make their move soon, though he has doubts if Academy City will bother distinguishing between friend or foe. The Maiden of Versailles then says that she doubts that Academy City even completely trust them, conjecturing that they another magical group will try to attack them within the confusion caused by GREMLIN, something that is only favorable to GREMLIN itself. The Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Krans reminds them that doubts and constraints are all part of GREMLIN's attempt to buy time, and that they need to have as many people they can at least trust. However, no one agrees with his assessment as there was no time. Roberto then asks Elizard if the Anglican Church have a hotline with Academy City, as they have joined forces during World War III. Elizard points out that it was the Anglican Church's doing and the British Royal Family was barely involved. Elizard then states that the Church as well wasn't able to contact Aleister since the end of the War. Out of allies, out of options, and out of time, Roberto contemplates what they should do. His stupor is later broken by Roseline, and there Roberto gave a small smile. He says that what they should do hasn't changed, and tells them that they should make a vote. One of the people there asks if they are using democratic decision to distribute responsibility, to which Roberto says that only those who go along with their plan will become responsible. Thus the alliance finally makes their move against GREMLIN.

It is most likely through them that the United States asked Russia to scramble a few of their unarmed bombers towards Tokyo in an attempt spur the Japanese government through fear. The bombers are later intercepted by Jörmungandr and is nearly attacked if not for Stiyl Magnus' Innocentius doing battle with him. Due to the fact that Japan still made no action even until the end, it is likely the intimidation failed or that Jörmungandr destroyed them. It is likely the are also the ones who sent out a convoy of supplies towards Tokyo from Saipan. This too however, was intercepted by a GREMLIN member, but was later forced into battle by Silvia and Brunhild Eiktobel.

Academy City response to the invasion
Academy City later mounts an attack on GREMLIN using their supersonic bombers. Here, they are intercepted by Freyja's Hræsvelgr, and do battle against them. Their dogfights naturally cause massive destruction, and doing so in a massively populated city increases the likelihood of civilian casualties. The result of this that the populace, instead of being frustrated and dissatisfied as they were before, have changed to that of panic and fear. As a result of this, they will turn their anger on Academy City, rationalizing that the creatures that were flying around Tokyo did not bother them or attacked until Academy City interfered. Index, Mikoto, Leivinia, Lessar, and Maria all witness the mobilization of Academy City's forces, and comments on how GREMLIN still has the upperhand as the blame will fall upon Academy City.

Despite this, Academy City is seemingly the only force that makes any notable resistance against GREMLIN, even reaching towards the ocean using their supersonic bombers. However, they are forced to contend against Mokkerkalfe waiting for them and under the control of Ollerus, who is forced to keep on the ruse of being Thor.

Kamijou Touma vs. Freyja
Ollerus in the guise of Thor later sends Freyja to Tokyo at the height of the invasion and in the middle of GREMLIN's "pressure" of the populace to distribute what people hoped to gain in an effort to stop the people from uniting against them. She is near a fishing pond, passing her time fishing, monitoring the Muspells GREMLIN deployed all over the city and awaiting orders.

She first appears in a fishing pond, communicating through the use of a magic talisman to someone regarding her status. While trying to fish, she says that she went to Tokyo just as "Thor" had requested, assumes that he and Mokkerkalfe will take their positions at Tokyo Bay, and wonders about Bersi's role. She then state that her Níðhöggr is resting at the Tokyo Sky Tower, and that the Muspell has began reacting to those are unaffected or resists their pressure, stating that they should crush them before they can gather. She says that the Muspells are being destroyed and that she can no longer sit idly by while it is happening. Suddenly, one of the desperate people there calls out to her, believing she has an actual working cellphone in her hand as the invasion has crippled the network of the city. He carelessly grabbed her hand, and with a whispered chant from her, she summons a monster from the pond to eat the man, much to the nearby people's horror. She later says that she will go to the location where most of the Muspell has been destroyed. As she leaves, her fishing pole finally catches something, but it was the body of the man from before.

Freyja manages to land on the train Touma was able to jump on as well, seeing that he was the one who destroyed the most Muspells. She tells her who she is, and warns her that juts because they're on a train doesn't mean it should be a reason to worry about a pregnant woman like her. She then tells Touma that he should be honored for she decided that he was the biggest threat to GREMLIN and must be defeated first. There, Touma has to contend against the power of Freyja's Brísingamen summons. And though his right hand can easily destroy, Freyja summons many of them to overwhelm him. However, Touma finds away, impressing Freyja that he could find a way to withstand her surefire methods. She summons another monster based on a giant of Norse mythology, but it is quickly struck down by the ceiling getting lower as the train travels in a tunnel. Seeing his chance, Touma charges, but Freyja does not fear. She summons several monsters of the same type based on another giant of Norse mythology. But they were many and they cramped what little space they had. Believing that he could topple them all, Touma continues forward. However, what he did not take into account was Freyja summoning another one, Hildisvíni the boar, and then her ordering it to consume its fellow summons. This shocks Touma as it begins growing larger and large, enough to fill the space of the tunnel. Frejya explains that Norse mythology is a mythology of mutual destruction, where gods and the monsters slay each other. Using this as a basis, she can create an attack where one devours the other.

Touma is undeterred as he sees that he will have an easier time defeating a single large monster instead of many. Then Freyja laughs at him, believing that he is merely motivating himself, and that the "child" she gave birth to will hinder his motivations. Touma questions her wording of "child". Here, Freyja says that she is not calling her summons from far away but creating them by guiding her magic power through the womb, giving it a specific directionality of germination, and pour that magic power into a Brísingamen jewel, thus she can call upon monsters using the jewel as the core. She mentions her "child" and that since her own magical sense is lacking, she has no choice but to borrow the child's brain and body to use magic. Freyja mentions that the child has been trapped in her womb for a full two years, and refers to it as a leftovers in the back of a fridge. Touma is enraged at her callous regard for human life. Then the boar attacked. Touma thought that he could easily defeat such a large opponent, but he was mistaken. The boar was so large that when it charged at Touma when the train arrived at the station, it pushed air towards him, acting like a piston. Touma floats on midair due to the wind as the boar continues to charge towards him. The boar's attack ravages the back of the train and Touma could not be seen. Believing Touma has either been crushed or have fallen, Freyja prepares to find her next target. Unbeknownst to her Touma survived, grabbing on the roof of the train. Freyja sees and congratulates Touma, but even before she could use her jewels, Touma swings his coat over her face, blocking her vision. While her vision is blocked, she tries to summon another creature. And though Touma hesitates because she is pregnant, he has no choice but to press on forward. Touma apologizes to the child rather than to the mother, and destroys the creature she just summoned. Touma charges towards Freyja, intending to destroy the Brísingamen and end their battle as soon as possible. However, he then hears a shout, telling Touma not to touch her mother. At that moment, Freyja kicked Touma, forcing him back due to the pain. Freyja throws away his coat but he manages to get it back. There, he saw it upon he belly of the woman before her. There were runic markings on them, he then realized that if the mother was not able to use magic at all if wasn't for her child, then wouldn't that mean it is the child who can use magic. Here, Touma realizes that the child inside the womb is Freyja. The child in the womb says that she is trying to save her mother no matter what. She tells of her hopeless and inescapable situation, which will find no redress even after ten years of work and one hundred years of research. Touma then asks what it has to do with GREMLIN and the destruction they spread. Freyja replies that he has yet to see what GREMLIN truly is. She readdresses he statement of "ten years of work and one hundred years of research" and references on how a magic god can ignore those restrictions, and says that as long as the lance is completed, that person her mother, can finally be saved. Touma not to trust Othinus for all the things she has done in Hawaii and in Baggage City that once the lance is complete she won't need to listen to anyone else. Freyja says that it is fine for her only method of saving her mother is through borrowing the power of a magic god. Touma pleads to Freyja to reconsider as he deems that Othinus is only using that as a convenient tool to guide her, referencing as what is happening to the city as similar. However, Freyja does not heed his words and tells Touma to stay out of the way.

Kamijou Touma, Index, and Misaka Mikoto vs. Freyja
Suddenly, Touma hears a scratching noise and realizes that the great hole inside one of the train cars may have been filled with a summon by Freyja while he fell a while ago. There, she reveals to him a great red dragon Níðhöggr Vol. 02, which was larger than any of the summons Touma has come to face in that tunnel for Freyja has fed it many of the summons while inside the car. Then, as the train exits the tunnel and Touma's eyes are filled with blinding light, the thing attacks him. Freyja cried out some order and moved to the next car forward, as the dragon wrecks several cars as it moves, including the one Touma is standing upon. As he falls, believing he has failed, he notices someone grabbing to his back as his body's fall changes. He was saved by Misaka Mikoto, with Index and Sphynx in tow. With only two cars remaining, they land upon one of them. Mikoto immediately goes on a tirade against Touma's during this dire situation, saying that just because the cellphone don't work doesn't mean he can run off on his own and get cornered. She reminds him that he has only one life no matter what kind of power he has. Index cuts in, saying that Touma will not change even if she says that, and that they will have to compromise for him. Index apologizes to Touma for interfering and says that she will not back down here. Then, his cellphone fell onto the train, and there it plays a recorded message from his mother directed to him and his father, telling them not to worry about her despite the chaos that is happening in Tokyo.

Hearing this, Touma sees the great unfairness of the situation, and that he has no way on his own to save them. And thus, Touma swallows his pride. He tells them of Freyja and her true form, and finally asks the two girls beside him for help in saving her. There, as if some a deep wish has been granted for them, they say to Touma to leave it to them.

Believing that she will win regardless of how many enemies will stand against her, Freyja summons the great red boar Hildisvíni as a cushion for her fall when she escapes after ordering Níðhöggr Vol. 02 to attack. And she does order it to destroy everything. As it charges towards them, Misaka Mikoto used her powers to jump towards the red dragon, and launched several Railguns at it in a row in point black range using her powers. It's advanced was stopped in an instant, shocking Freyja as the monster disappears. As Mikoto is left behind in the distance, Touma and Index steps forward. Freyja summons other monsters again. Suddenly however, her body stiffens as Index chants Notarikon letters, her Spell Intercept.

Touma then spoke to Index and tells her that she should analyze the magic being used to give birth to Freyja's "children". Afterwards, Touma speaks to Freyja. He tells her on his initial confusion on how she said that she worked to protect her mother within the womb despite being a fetus. He tells her on how he questioned on how she was able to learn magic. He says that seeing her magic is specialized toward giving birth to "children," he realized on how it is based on, and asks a rhetorical question towards her on what it is. Freyja does not answer, but Touma tells her anyway. He reveals that her magic is based on the magic used to safely give birth to the child inside the womb, and that she has twisted it into an attack magic so she could join GREMLIN. Once again, Freyja is uncaring for Touma's words, telling him that no matter how it was originally, it failed in the end as her mother is doomed if she continues to be with her as well as if she leaves her. And that the only escape is through the use of the magic god's power to make the impossible possible.

Hearing this, Touma says that he will have Index finish this, for she has the collection of knowledge that can reach the level of a magic god. With those 103,000 grimoires, surely if they can reveal the spell meant to allow the child a safe birth and send it into the mother that is fully reliant on the child, her mother should be able to keep her heart beating on her own just as when a child leaves its mother. As Index attempts to hack into the single system known as the Fertility Goddess Freyja that was made up of the mother and the fetus, Freyja speaks. Here she says that she will continue to protect her mother even if she has to sell her soul to a magic god or spill the blood of innocents as a pawn of GREMLIN, and she will do it on her own. However, Touma says that it is over and that she no longer have to use her hostility as weapon to protect her mother. Here, Touma says that that the unfairness is over and Freyja can trust people now. With that, Freyja continues to resist as she did not know how to trust people, summoning two more monsters. But Touma is unperturbed, he tells Index that he will take out everything that tries to interfere so he can buy her the time she needs to prepare. He tells her to focus on her analysis and not worry about a thing. As Touma fights, Index mutters an incantation under her breath, and the child inside the womb lets out a cry. There, Touma tells her it is over and that they will wait for her in the wide world.

After Touma and Index removes the control the child has from the mother, the mother comes to as the train escapes the dark tunnel, politely asking where she is, though she later falls unconscious again.

Reunion
Bersi was let go after his role in constructing Gugnir ended, and was then ordered as an Einherjar by Othinus to intercept their enemies and buy them some time. Meanwhile, carrying with them an unconcsious Freyja, Touma and Index finally made it to Tokyo Bay. Leivinia, Lessar, and Maria pass them by on their commandeered motorboat. Seeing them, the girls turn back to meet them. Mikoto later arrives, falling from the sky and used magnetism to land on the metal railing alongside the river mouth and scolded Touma for leaving her behind after asking for help. Seeing Touma with another girl and a pregnant one to boot, there was again a misunderstanding in Touma's part to which he explained everything that happened. As try to ponder on what to do with Freyja before they set off to Sargasso on the motorboat suddenly attacked by a giant dragon, the Níðhöggr that was harassing Tokyo all day. Touma asks if Mikoto if she truly defeated the thing, but she tells Touma that she did but the ones before them is larger. With its great speed, it tries to charge towards them to retrieve Freyja. Being in danger of being crushed by that massed at such a speed, the girls prepare to fight it, Touma asks what he can do, to which Leivinia says that he should stay out of the way. Powerless, Touma can only watch as Mikoto's Railgun and Leivinia's magic is powerless to stop it. Just when Touma and the others were about to be attacked by Nidhogg, Kagun came and attacked it. He successfully defeated Nidhogg and Kumokawa Maria recognized him. Maria found that there is a slight scar on the back of his neck. It turns out that there is an embedded chip there that is programmed based on a list that he had inputted in the device. That list comprises of the things that he would "actually do" or actions that are "like him" so as to ensure that even if he is dead he won't be controlled to do what he does not want to do. Maria then realized this and told Touma and the others that she would stay with him until the end, she carries Freyja with her walking with Kagun until the end as her comrades leave.

Ollerus and Fiamma of the Right's gambit
With their motorboat, the group races towards Sargasso, passing by Muspells who tried to intercept them. As they were too fast, they later disappeared. Out in the distance as they approach Sargasso, Mokkerkalfe appears, but before it can do anything, it's heart is crushed by Ollerus in the guise of Thor. Othinus then appears before him asking him what he is doing. He then said that it is about time and threatened Othinus regarding Marian as an explosion erupts inside Mjölnir blowing her and Marian away, though he doubts that it could kill them. Othinus then threatened him to show his true self and he transformed back to his true self. However, despite revealing himself before Othinus, the construction of Gungnir has been interrupted. She then questioned Ollerus motives of being there and someone's life or death won't stop her from carrying out her plan. Ollerus then remarked that he is glad that she didn't see through his plan and her infinite possibilities send her power to the negative direction. Othinus then responded in disappointment that there is no way she would add him to her ranks of Einherjar and she would totally obliterate him and Ollerus responded to her mockingly to which Othinus responded by creating tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of strange explosions in the slight space between them. The battle between Ollerus and Othinus goes on then immediately, Ollerus rushed up to Othinus while disregarding the damage he is taking. He then jabbed his glowing palm at the center of Othinus chest to turn her into a fairy based on the idea that fairies were former pagan gods that were shrank down by Christianity without being aware of it. In that way, the magic god will be returned/dragged down to the territory of a human. But despite that, Othinus just laughed and told him that she deceived his senses and thanked him for giving her a means to finally defeat him. She then used the same move against Ollerus to turn him into a fairy. Ollerus then staggered and said that his second hope is still on track. Othinus was confused then suddenly she was stabbed by the same spell again, this time by Fiamma of the Right who seems to appear out of nowhere. Ollerus then told her that he no longer have an interest in becoming the magic god but he won't allow someone to misuse it.

At that moment, it seems that it is all over for Othinus but she just laughed. She then told them that she doesn't care whether she lose, what's important to her is unifying her infinite possibilities. She only needed it to lean in one direction or the other. It did not matter whether she completed the lance and have 100% success or become a fairy and have 100% failure. Whether she win or lose, she will be a complete magic god. While saying all these things to Ollerus and Fiamma, Touma and the others approached GREMLIN's base. As they approached the end of Sargasso, Touma doubted if it is still part of the real world. He then sees Ollerus' body fall from the deck of a passenger ship. Othinus then told him that he was too late. Touma then asked about the lance to which Othinus responded that it all ended in failure but it didn't matter to her since all she wants is to complete her position as the magic god and as long as there is a way of doing it even without the lance, it doesn't matter anymore. She then told Touma that all of it was just a decoy, even the formation of GREMLIN and everything that happened in the past. Othinus then pulled the lance of gungnir that she made herself from her right eye socket. While Othinus laughed, Touma was speechless. She then declared that she is now a complete magic god by having both solutions at once to which Touma just screamed. Othinus then lightly spun the lance around in one hand and pointed its tip toward the heavens and said that little fights are so troublesome, thus she'll just end the world. And exactly as she had announced, everything was immediately destroyed.

Concurrent scenes
Many scenes regarding other characters' actions during the invasion are shown. Most important of this is Kamijou Shiina and Misaka Misuzu's conversation in their sports club during the invasion. They are forced to stay inside as the streets have become overrun with panicking people. Misuzu pulls out her phone and discovers that the internet has become frozen and that they are only able to connect to the disaster messageboards, putting them in the dark on what exactly is happening. Shiina asks what they should do, to which Misuzu says that she lives alone so she should be fine, and Shiina replies that she should be fine as well. As she spoke however, Shiina held her phone and began pushing the buttons, prompting Misuzu to ask if she is making a call despite the probability that it won't get through. Shiina then says that she would like to leave a message on the message board, prompting Misuzu to join in. Shiina is able to make a small voice message and post it up in the disaster message boards. Touma, through his foresight, had his phone to automaticall record any new message in the disaster messageboard. In a strange twist of fate, Touma receives her message while he confronts Freyja. Hearing her mother's voice forces Touma to reconsider what he should do against Freyja, and lays down his pride and asks Index and Mikoto to help in saving her.

Another is that of Fenrir of GREMLIN's appearance in a NORAD base. He appears in Alaska to take out a NORAD base there as a means of sealing off the alliance's intelligence network. When he reaches where the base's parabolic antennae arrays are stored, he is ambushed by Oriana Thomson, whom he effortlessly blocks with his magic. After the explanation of his distortion spell, she commented that she would just have to use the countermeasures she developed if she should have to fight Kamijou Touma again. Realizing she's comparing his power to the Imagine Breaker he retorts that he doesn't completely annihilate the occult, just simply have the magic be "swept away", and can not take the role of being a reference point for the world.

Chronology: Shifting and Fluctuating World
"What would happen if his heart broke even once amid these many shifting and fluctuating worlds?"

- Chapter 6: Shifting and Fluctuating World. Version_Omega.

After the end
The world has truly ended, and while in the Black World, Othinus told Touma who just woke up that he failed to save the world and told him that she isn't interested on what he will be going to do. Touma stood up speechless, noticed his surroundings and asked Othinus about the place they were in. As Touma continues to deny what he is seeing and not accepting the fact that the world had really ended, Othinus told him that what she destroyed is not just the Tokyo Bay or the Earth but the whole universe itself and only the two of them are left. Touma could not still believe it and walked away from Othinus as he wandered around place. After walking for a very long time, Touma accepts reality and wanted some kind of a landmark. He then realizes that Othinus is still there and decided to go back to face her. When he came back, Othinus told him that she thought that he had already died somewhere. Touma told her that there is nothing there and that he will find a way to meet again the people who have disappeared. Othinus told him that there is nothing he can do now that the world has already ended. Touma then told her regarding his Imagine Breaker as a reference point as what Ollerus said and will find a way to revert everything she threw out of order. Othinus then told her she is fine with it and that she already expected Touma as the final barrier. Despite the fact that she could kill him easily at that moment, she didn't because she thought that if she killed him, Imagine Breaker would just reside somewhere else and it would be problematic so she decided to just break him mentally and use him as a cage to trap Imagine Breaker. Touma then challenged her for a fight but Othinus told him that a magic god like her won't bother fight a puny human. She then pulled her lance from the ground and it glowed signifying that she is creating something. Touma then wondered what she is doing and she told him that she is going to break him mentally by taking everything from him and show him the insignificance of everything that he has gained in his life.

Alpha World
In the Alpha World, while Touma is still in the bedroom and is at lost on what is happening after knowing that the world treats him as an evil person and wants him dead, Othinus suddenly appeared and told him that the world have realized that this great commotion would not end unless they kill Touma. Touma while trembling asked her what have she done to them, to which Othinus responded that she did not threaten them and that this is the current world and not just a nightmare. She then told him that he would eventually die and nothing will change that. Touma then looked around the destroyed bedroom but Othinus had already disappeared. After Touma escaped the police officers who are pursuing him, Othinus appeared again to Touma on top of a telephone pole and told him that he overcame his first trial. Touma then questioned her what did she do to which she responded that she just merely changed everyone's point of view then vanished yet again. Touma then learned that after the war, Japan was set up such that it would dry up on its own without help and that the pile of rubble that he was in is actually Shibuya. He then thought if the GREMLIN or coalition did this, then Othinus suddenly responded that it wasn't her and it doesn't seem to be over yet then vanished. Touma then heard an announcement coming from the store's speakers that the students who had fled Academy City were the target of bombings. The attack landed and the shockwave affected Touma. He began to ran toward the station hoping that the people hiding there were not wiped out, then suddenly Othinus appeared alongside him riding an electric two-wheeled vehicle that she had picked somewhere while telling him that he shouldn't be so sure about that and things might not go as nicely as he thinks he will. Touma tried to punch her but she disappeared along with the vehicle. Touma then reached the station and saw Fukiyose Seiri. While he is attempting to save her, she suddenly stabbed him and blamed him for everything that has happened. An LCD TV burried in the rubble came to life and showed an announcement that a second and third wave of missiles are coming right at that moment and the missiles came. The ground of Shibuya Station collapsed and Touma fell. Othinus showed herself again to Touma while falling through the deep underground of Shibuya Station and asked him if he understood now that this is a world with a different point of view. Touma then asked him what point of view did she changed to make this world to which Othinus answered that she changed everyone's point of view concerning him. Touma then awoke from the impact of falling and heard an announcement that Academy City has had all supply lines cut off. He understood that most people in the world hated him and that any people or organizations that were connected to him were being indiscriminately targeted. Othinus yet appeared again leaning against Touma's back while he is confronting Aogami Pierce who is about to attack him. She told him that she did not brainwash them nor added anything new but just changed their point of view. She also told him that he had already done what it would take to be treated like this and it's just that he and the others haven't realized it before. Continuing on, she told him that in the world he knows, he always charged headfirst into some kind of incident using his fists to defeat the enemy and protect someone as a result then being treated as a type of hero and only that positive aspect was emphasized. She then continued on by whispering to him about what will happen if their point of view was changed and emphasized the other side of his actions, specifically the negative ones and that it would be strange for people to silently accept an incarnation of violence like that. After saying those words, Othinus cleanly vanished. Touma then fought Aogami who is blaming him of everything and defeated him. He ran away while thinking about the safety of his parents. Othinus appeared hung upside-down the ceiling; apparently knows what he is thinking, she then told him that she wouldn't stop him if he wanted to see it for himself and that he should be more cautious of his surroundings. Suddenly, he was stabbed by Komoe from behind. Komoe then apologized and told him that she have to take responsibility. The LCD monitors in the station suddenly lit up and showed his father announcing that despite the fact that Touma is their son they are willing to help everyone in order to kill him because he is an absolute evil and that they will correct the mistake they made. Othinus then appeared staring down at him while crouching and asked him who in the world actually saw him for who he was. She then tried to break him by telling him that people were not actually looking at him and that they do not see him for who he is and that is the reason why they were easily manipulated by changing their point of view. She then asked him if this kind of world is worth risking his life to protect, to which Touma responded that it is. She then realized that she could not break him that easily and decided for a slight change of plans. At a snap of her fingers, time sped back to normal and Komoe proceeded to kill Touma.

Beta World
In the Beta World, Othinus sat on the teacher's desk in the twilt classroom as evening fell while Touma is contemplating on what he just saw earlier in the class. It turns out that there is an impostor who is living his normal everyday life and the others did not notice it despite the striking differences in their appearances. She told him that it was “Kamijou Touma's” everyday life and that for those people, it did not matter who it was. She explained to him that their trust was established because he saved them so as long as they are saved, regardless of who saved them, their trust and good will would have turned in that person's direction. She told him that anyone could be 'Kamijou Touma' and that no one is truly looking at him. She then asked him if he can still continue on to which Touma replied that he won't deny this world he protected and it's valuable for him. Despite Othinus trying to break his will him, Touma still decided that it is alright if everyone abandon him and that he will just rebuild his connections with them. Othinus then asked him who he is, then Touma realizes that he no longer knew who he was. While Touma is contemplating about his identity, Othinus asked his name, what kind of person he is originally, the kind of people he is surrounded with, as well as the person he wanted to protect. She told him that as thanks for letting her kill some time, she will return him to his former position as long as he tells her his proper name. She showed him his own class photo and told him that if he chose correctly who he is in that photo then she will return his world, life and existence. Despite the fact that Othinus is trying to break his sense of identity, he insisted that he is Kamijou Touma. Othinus utterly displeased asked how did he catch on to which Touma replied that she gave him a hint.

Interlude
Othinus then made Touma experience countless of worlds. Touma then realized that Othinus isn't actually destroying anything. Othinus then explained to Touma about Phases and on how she just creates new filters and place them over the world so the world appears to have changed. She then mentions a man who names himself “Silver Star” seem to have been attempting to directly tamper with the 'Pure World' beyond all the filters. Touma then thought that his Imagine Breaker does the opposite of what Othinus is doing and that his hope to bring everything back to normal was renewed. Othinus knowing what Touma is thinking warned him regarding that last thread of hope.

Omega World
In the Omega World, Just as Touma had his resolve in bringing back everything to normal, Othinus showed Touma a seemingly perfect world where everyone was saved and enjoying their everyday lives. She told Touma that if he insists that the changed worlds and the act of changing the world are evil, then he should reject this perfect world. Othinus embraced Touma's shoulders from behind while holding the lance which is within reach of his right hand. She then told him that it must be right to return it to normal and that he should test out his own idea of justice by rejecting this perfect world. Othinus explained to him that the world does not need him and that even without him, everyone can be saved by using her power as the magic god regardless of the issue of good and evil. Touma then complained that it isn't fair and questions himself about what he is doing all along. He also complained that he could not save everyone and that his actions might have caused tragedy to other people. Othinus told him that he should not blame himself and that he had done well for a mere human. Suddenly, Index approached him for her ball and Touma reached for it. He also saw Stiyl, Kanzaki, and other priests and nuns that he did not recognize. Index then asked him what's wrong to which Touma responded that it's nothing. Index then jogged away and went back to her group. Othinus then let him choose whether to protect or destroy to which Touma asked what else he could do since even if he does not do anything, she can save the world. She then told him that the perfect world was created on the assumption that he does not exist and him existing for much longer in this world will cause it to begin collapsing so he must end his life.

After sitting on the bench for a long time Touma rose up and began walking to Academy City where in this world there is no reason for it to be walled off. As he walks through the city he sees many he knows some only antiquated with some he has never met and some he can never met in his world. After witnessing all this and enjoining a last meal he resolve to end his life to protect this world by ending his life. He resolves to end it by taking an elevator to the top off a forty story building and throw himself of it to his death, as someone calls out to him and just in time places a kick on his back, changing the path of his fall into a nearby window washing gondola, sighing as she sees that he is safe.

A conversation with the Will of the Whole Misaka Network
Apparently observing that Touma is in the deepest nadir of his utter despair and is about to commit suicide, she takes over Misaka 10031's body and scrambles to get to Touma just as he jumps off a building. Touma sees her and believes her to be Misaka 10032, but corrects him by saying that she is Misaka 10031, the Sister Touma refers to as the one he barely missed saving. Touma asks what she means, to which she tells Touma that though this was the first time they have met, he has met a lot of her physical terminals. She then bows her head and says that she is the will created by the whole Misaka Network.

However, she says all this with a smile on her face. Still in despair, the Will asks what he will do now, though Touma doesn't understand. She reiterates, asking him that now that he know that the world they are in is the perfect world with nothing but happiness, what will he do now. She asks him if he is sure that he searched properly to escape the world and that if there are contradictions in Othinus' ideal world, saying that there must something he can find and that her very presence must be something. However, Touma points out on how there would no reason for him to turn the world around as it will only cause everything to collapse. The Will then says that he should only talk about things when he is more positive. She compares Othinus as a dictator who had made her "home" as pleasant as possible, and that was the world they were in now. However, the Will asks if there was a kindness that had to be completely eliminated in the world they were in. Touma says he understands and refers to his experiences with GREMLIN, saying that Othinus did not create the new world out of concern for people, she created the new world because it was an eyesore for her. Touma however, still points out that regardless of this she still saved everyone, even those who couldn't save himself, and that he couldn't return everything to normal after seeing all that. He says that though it would be right, it'd be evil as he would rob the happiness of those people just so he can get back his own place in the world. The Will understands his reasoning's but asks him if he ever fought because it was the right thing to do, or if he ever punched people because they were evil. Touma hesitated to answer, to which the Will smiles, answering for him, saying that he has never used those reasoning's then, and there should be no reason to allow those reasoning's to crush him now. Touma points out that the reasoning will only save him, but the WIll makes a rebuttal, telling him not to lie, taking Touma aback. The Will points out Touma should know that Othinus cheated to make the perfect world that could make Touma fall into despair. The answer would make this world turn out as something not so ideal that even Touma tries to deny it, saying that the world Othinus made was accomplished perfectly. Touma says that Othinus did save everyone where he could not. Hearing this, the Will asks Touma to prove that the world they were in was perfect and nothing anyone does can cause a single crack in it. Hearing her words, Touma finally admits the one thing that made the so-called "perfect world" flawed, the people there don't remember the original world.

Touma however, asks why that matters as no matter what those people think they were truly saved. He says that having their memories or not does not change that they were saved. The Will points out however that it changes everything as it would disregard all the things Touma has done so far. She tells him that he should not change the rules he used then now. She then says that Othinus was afraid, but not because people would find it strange that dead people were standing before them, it's because that if everyone remembered the original world, everyone who was saved here would be unable to accept losing him. Touma tries to take in what the Will just said, who can only smile, apparently finding it funny that he could not understand that simple concept. The Will says that though Touma thinks that he can protect everyone's smiles by casting aside his place in the world, there are those who would not want to lose him, like her among others. Touma understood her words, that despite in the darkest of situations, no matter how hopeless the situation, people could still get along. The Will says that nowhere does it say that everyone would readily accept the terms of them losing Touma in exchange of the "perfect world". She says that it was Othinus feared, everyone gathering together to save him, as is the reason she "cheated" as the Will says and made no one remember him through the happiness they have. The Will continues on how it would not make any sense if he forced them to accept it as he himself did not allow that sort of thing to happen.

Touma is in deep thought, having believed that his existence did not weigh heavily in the hearts of people after seeing everyone smiling in a world without him. Here, he believes that there would be others who could do what he did and maybe even better. As if cutting his own thoughts, the Will says that those possibilities of other people doing what he could do or even being better at it doesn't matter because he is still the one who has done it, the one in the right time and place who ran in and saved people. Touma could not but the Will pressed further. She says that he will be saved if he rejected this world, and that they will do for him what he has done for them, that is the reason why Othinus cheated. Touma does not reject her words, and begins thinking it all over. Touma however says that with that result, it'll just make it even worse. Touma cannot allow for them to be reminded of the original world as they'll only reject their "perfect world" just to save him. Hearing this, the Will then asks Touma a question, without all moral dilemmas and mysteries surrounding life. She asks him if it doesn't bother him that Othinus just appeared out of nowhere and stole everything he had built up. Although the question was simple, it cuts deep into Touma's heart. He remains silent for a while, but finally trembled out the words from his lips as he cried. He says that it bothers him. Here, Touma pours all of his emotions to the Will. He bemoans his cruel fate. He curses Othinus for making his life meaningless easily through her power, and though she can easily take away and destroy the perfect world made it to crush him underfoot, she still achieved something that he could not. He tells that if she were to tell him that she would return all those people who have lost their lives before she made the "perfect world" then he would probably reject it based on a random ideal or another, like saying their deaths had meaning or she can't toy with people's lives so easily. However, since she has already done it, to return things to normal now would be no different from killing the people that are happy now with his own hands. He states there would be no excuses for that, to return to the normal would mean to kill the people in this "perfect world." And so Touma asks what good would come out of destroying the "perfect world". He asks if he could really return to the old world he pictured in his head. He asks if he could ever face the people who are living their normal lives who are ignorant of what happened. He asks if he could really just smile when he knows the truth. Here, admits he cannot do those, even if he defeats Othinus, nothing would remain for him either way, he can't return to normal. He says that no matter what happens there is no way for him to succeed, stating that if he doesn't fail in whatever he chose to do he will still have complaints and will eventually fall apart, giving him no reason to fight. He asks why he should destroy the miraculous "perfect world" again. He asks why they couldn't just accept Othinus' victory if every path leads to destruction. He asks why they could not just let the number of people saved decide it. And since Othinus saved more, there is nothing else he can do, there is nowhere he can go to.

Kamijou Touma vs. Othinus
Othinus is at the schoolyard of A Certain High School when Touma showed up. It irritated her that Touma is still there and alive when he should have already killed himself after accepting the perfect world that requires that he must not exist. She then decided that she will just kill him if she cannot break him and that she might achieve more stable control if she transfer Imagine Breaker to a more fragile container and break it. And thus the battle between a man and a god began.

Without moving from her position, she sent explosions to Touma by just holding up her lance. Touma attempts to come closer to her but it is futile. When he almost got the chance to punch her, she vanished then appeared so close to him and grabbed his neck. As she lifts him up, she told him to realize it already to which Touma replied that he already have. Touma realized that they've been doing this countless of times already and that she won't kill him for a reason. Othinus then felt exhaustion due to the fact that they've repeated this countless of times until Touma fails somewhere along the line. But Touma wouldn't break and she shouted in irritation. Othinus killed Touma over and over again while Touma speaks to her. Touma then told Othinus that she couldn't throw away her first and ideal hope of returning to her original world by removing all of the phases that she have put in place and that her second hope of creating a world similar to her original world would still be different from the original so she couldn't abandon her first hope. He claimed that she should be able to use Imagine Breaker to repair the world and that he will do whatever it takes for her to bring back his original world. Othinus then responded that she tried it but it didn't work so her only option is to create the next world. Touma then told her that he won't move onto the next world and that they will repeat this billions or even trillions of times. After the 10,031st fight, she already have decided to end this and that she would give up on her first hope but suddenly she felt an intense headache. Touma explained that fighting with a weak opponent would wear down her mind at a faster rate as compared to his case wherein fighting a very strong opponent, would wear his mind at a slower rate. Othinus then decided that she would end this and kill him here and will move on to the next world. Othinus continued to attack Touma but he just evaded it and told her that all this time, he is analyzing her attack patterns and somewhat started to understand her. She then throwed the lance to Touma at a tremendous force that the space itself has torn apart but Touma used his right fist to strike it then the lance veered sharply upward to return to Othinus but it disintegrated midway. Touma then thought that he could end this due to the fact that Gungnir, the item that grants her 100% success has been destroyed but Othinus used the fairy spell to grant her the 100% failure. Othinus then used her crossbow to rain down arrows on Touma. Touma eveded the first nine arrows but he did not anticipate the tenth one due to not considering the 100% failure in his analysis so he was struck and his lower body was blown apart. Othinus caught him in one hand and told him that it is over. Touma accepted it and told Othinus to put Imagine Breaker into good use to take back her first hope. While dying in her arms, Touma told her to just act the way she wants regardless of good and evil and asked her what she really wanted from the beginning. He then died. As she stood alone in the pitch black world, she then realized that she no longer remember why she wanted to go back to her original world and that what she really wanted is someone who understood her. She is not assured that if she go back to her original world, she would be able to find that someone. She realized that Touma was the only one who truly understood her and that she just killed him with her own hands. She then decided to bring back Touma's original world.

Return to the original world
Touma woke up and saw that they were once again at Sargasso. Upon seeing Othinus, he realized that Othinus has already changed and conceded the world to him. He tried to stop Mikoto, Index, Leivinia and Lessar from attacking her but it didn't reach them. Othinus did not attempt to defend herself and was knocked backwards. Touma then ran to Othinus to his friend's surprise and searched for her. Meanwhile, Othinus is laying on the ground accepting her fate as the magical bombardment from the coalition falls on her. Touma then used his right hand to protect Othinus from the bombardment which surprised Othinus. Touma then told her that she knew that this would happen but still kept quiet about it to which Othinus responded that she would not last longer due to the fairy spell destroying her from the inside and that it is too late even if he use Imagine Breaker. Touma told her that she is different now and that she must atone for what she did and he can no longer sense any evil in her for her to deserve death. Touma then declared that he will save her even if it means he would fight the world.
