Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume13 Prologue
Prologue: Absolute Evil and Relative Evil – CHORONZON.[edit]
That being had been watching.
She had been holding her breath and observing the outside world.
She had supposedly killed Magician Aleister Crowley herself, but he had used a brief opening to take control of her body.
Her mind had been swiftly sealed deep within her own body.
She couldn’t escape.
From there, it had been a complete farce. She had felt like she was trapped in a cell where the entire floor, walls, and ceiling were covered in barbed wire. For that great demon, agony and spinning one’s wheels were one and the same.
But that did not mean there had been no entertainment at all.
Even if she could not break free of that cell, the world beyond it was as harsh to Aleister as ever.
When he captured Anna Sprengel, the big boss of R&C Occultics which had plunged the world into chaos, his trusted Kamijou Touma had harshly criticized him.
When he tried to save him regardless, Anna Kingsford, his teacher who he had finally opened up to, had told him that Kamijou Touma was doomed to die.
Kingsford had promised to save Kamijou, but not only did she fail to keep that promise, her life as an autonomous preserved corpse had come to and end along with Kamijou’s death.
When, left behind by the two of them, he tried to overturn Kamijou’s death, the new board chairman had mocked him.
And after it all, Kamijou had returned from hell alone.
His beloved teacher Anna Kingsford had not accompanied Kamijou.
How could she not clap her hands and howl with laughter?
The world was such a foolish and ridiculous thing. That human had broken so many taboos to hijack the body of the great world-destroying demon, yet the lid had unwittingly been forced open from without.
The fact that they didn’t even realize they were doing it made it an even greater failure than Pandora’s failure to contain her curiosity.
Everyone who had frowned and spoken of justice had become the reason the world would be destroyed.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
But that being still wasn’t satisfied.
Her current condition was stable, but she was crude, incomplete, and awkward.
Oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms would not stick around long in their pure form. They would either bond with identical atoms to form a gas, or they would bond with different atoms to form water. There was no intention behind it. It would happen all on its own.
That being was the same.
So.
When Aleister Crowley reached his limit and his heart broke, that being once more crawled out into the open world. It happened naturally, as if to say that which was to be destroyed needed to be destroyed.
And that being – Great Demon Coronzon – made a loud announcement.
“I was waiting. Waiting for the moment your will weakened!!”
Now, humans.
Enjoy the fruit of your ignorant sins.
