Kira covered her mouth, unable to believe it.
"Could Durandal's goal be to rule the entire world?! No, absolutely not!"
Kira instinctively felt that something was wrong.
But Inori Yuzuriha merely looked at Kira calmly.
"What is wrong with that?" Inori Yuzuriha asked.
Kira was briefly at a loss for words.

Inori Yuzuriha continued, "If humanity could be unified, then most wars would disappear. With humanity united, people would have more energy to devote to investigation and research, and could move toward a greater future."
"But..."

[Could it be that, after all this, Durandal's greatest crime is just wanting to rule the world?]
[In Western values, isn't the Demon King always trying to rule the world? It's the same thing]
[I feel like something is off]
[If ruling the world means oppressing the whole world, then I oppose it]
[Inori is really guiding Kira]
