Is this mangaka crazy?

With Agni's enlightenment, the prison's iron bars opened.

The slaves were freed, and under Agni's leadership, they began to raise the alarm for a counterattack against Besim Druk! Agni's powerful regenerative ability, combined with Dema's terrifying flames on his body, meant almost no one in Besim Druk was his opponent.

In the eyes of Besim Druk's soldiers, Agni was like a devil! However, in the eyes of the slaves and the 'firewood', Agni was not a devil, but a god who saved the world! Everyone shook hands before Agni and worshipped him with devotion.

At the same time, he escorted a group of slaves and killed Besim Druk.

Then he went to rescue a group of 'firewood', including the captured Sang, and almost destroyed all of Besim Druk.

This scene cannot help but make people's blood boil.

A high school student like Fan Siwei also applauded.

"I don't want to lose to this world!"

He pounded hard and said excitedly: "Yes, that's right, destroy Besim Druk and become a true god in this chaotic world!"

Now Agni is the most suitable to become a god.

After all, he has the courage and self-sacrificing spirit of Buddha to cut flesh and feed the eagle, and he is also a passionate young man with righteousness in his heart.

So Agni is the god one can truly believe in! After almost destroying all of Besim Druk, Agni looked at Yoda, who was closely following him and calling him "older brother," and finally woke up.

Yoda is not Luna; she is pretending.

After Luna was exposed, she finally stopped pretending.

She looked at Agni and asked: "...You're very good at lying, so you can withstand the flames."

"But it's better to be honest with yourself now...".

"This world will soon be covered in ice and snow, and all living things will die."

"In the end, the only one who can survive is you, enveloped in flames..."

After hearing the three words "survive," Agni hallucinated again.

He seemed to have returned to his former self, and at that moment, the hallucination of his sister Luna appeared before him.

"Come on."

Luna smiled at him.

"It's hard, isn't it?"

Luna smiled sweetly and held out her hand to Agni. "Let's end everything...".

Agni finally couldn't bear it anymore, he sobbed and said: "I always wanted to hear you say this...".

"Why do you want me to live... why..."

"You really said something cruel..."

In the hallucination, Luna gently caressed Agni's face.

Many saw it, as if their hearts ached.

On the other side.

Kenji Tanaka, who also bought the single volume of "Fire Punch" himself, thought from the bottom of his heart: "Why doesn't Agni just die?"

Now he really believes that Agni might as well die, like David.

Death is liberation.

Living all the time is like being in purgatory.

As he said, "living" is cruel.

At this moment, life is heavier than death, because, just like Luna, she was freed the moment she burned to death.

But Agni continues to suffer.

Even if he has gotten used to the flames burning his body, but... does getting used to it mean Agni can't feel the pain? No, he is still suffering the pain of being burned by the flames!

Yusuke saw it and licked his dry lips.

For the first time, he doubted the three worldviews he had formed over the past thirty years of his life.

Agni's experience in "Fire Punch" made him feel the heaviness of life.

So... what's the point of living meaninglessly?

Even if the meaning of life is something given by others, it is meaningless.

At that moment, Yusuke suddenly thought of "Edgerunners".

He was shocked. Isn't this the value of "Edgerunners"?

Thinking about it, "Fire Punch" is very similar to "Edgerunners".

The same nihilism, the same hopeless and crazy world...

but "Fire Punch" seems more extreme and deranged than "Edgerunners".

Yusuke couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that the ending of "Fire Punch" would definitely be crueler and more painful than that of "Edgerunners".

But he still resisted and continued watching it.

The story in the manga continues.

At that moment, Agni returns to reality and finds that the "Luna" from a moment ago is not an illusion.

It's Yoda.

Yoda's hand is stained with his flames, and then he lets the flames burn his body, as if seeking death.

However, at that moment...

a woman appears who calls herself the "Ice Witch", cuts off his head, and completely prevents his suicide.

After being defeated, Agni takes Yoda's head.

Since Yoda is a regeneration blessing, even if he only has a head, he can survive and regenerate a body.

So Yoda can definitely survive.

Then Agni's "believers" appeared: the baseball bat man, the underwear man, and the female dog.

They led the believers to fight against the fleeing Besim Druk soldiers and joined Agni and his believers.

In response, Togata proposed that Agni become a god.

Only if Agni plays his role as a god well and becomes the god everyone expects, can he stabilize the people.

Otherwise, their expectations will turn into anger and destroy everything again.

Therefore, Agni is necessary to become such a god.

And this is true. After that, Agni established a base with the people he saved in Besim Druk and his followers, and was gradually deified by the "Agni Cult" organized by them.

During this process, due to the shortage of supplies, he even continued to cut off the left side of his face to give to people.

Agni and Nanette also started chatting with Togata.

Nanette asked what the world was like before.

Since Togata was a very powerful regeneration blessing, he had seen a world without ice or snow.

It was a peaceful and beautiful world.

But Agni asked: "Where will people go after they die?"

He wanted to reunite with his parents and Luna after he died, so he had this question.

However, Togata remained silent.

"You don't know either?" Agni asked reluctantly.

Seeing Agni like that, Togata finally exclaimed: "Cinema!"

"Cinema?"

To Agni, he didn't understand what a cinema was.

"It's a building for watching movies."

Togata told Agni: "When someone dies, they stand in the middle of the cinema, with popcorn and Coca-Cola in their hands, and then they look for their seat... After sitting down, the room darkens, various trailers are projected on the screen, and interesting movies continue to play... They just stay there forever."

Agni heard this and finally said: "If that's the case... That would be great...".

It would be great if he could reunite with his parents and Luna in the cinema after he died.

In this way, Agni managed to completely stabilize the Agni religion.

Furthermore, Togata was helping him.

Therefore, Agni was fanatically pursued by the believers.

San was even more determined to call Agni a god. Only Nanette knew that Agni was not a god, but just a mortal.

But this did not prevent San and the Agni religion from fanatically believing in him.

At the same time, Togata, who was suspected of being the bat man, the mind reader, and the blessing of the Agni religion, said something shocking:

"Please don't believe him; he's just mocking Agni-sensei..."

"Everything he said is a lie..."

"He's just a man pretending to be a frivolous woman..."

"A man with a woman's body."

Togata's thoughts were exposed, so he left Agni.

But Agni also ran after her...
