Toaru Majutsu no Genesis Order

Toaru Majutsu no Index: Genesis Order (ある魔法のインデックス：創世記)is the current entry of the Toaru story of the Kinoverse. It is the sequel to Toaru Michi no Imagine Breaker: False Genesis, where it follows Kamijou Touma, Index and Misaka Mikoto as they are enlisted into the Cosmic Security Coalition, an organization dedicated to upholding Human Cosmic Order. Here, they are given the task of stopping a disaster in the form of a DOMINION Singularity, a distortion that would tear apart existence. The first mission goes wrong however, as a Dominion Spy plants a bomb that leaves a majority of the Magicians and specialists incapacitated. The rest of the world is destroyed and as the last remnants of humanity, Touma and the others must put an end to the Seven major singularities before the DOMINION can achieve their objective.

The Story takes place outside of Academy City, mainly in the C.S.C's Headquarters in Antarctica and at other times, in each of the Seven Singularities. This entry is a Major saga like the War of Nonexistence arc, where the events of that arc's ending, and the events of FG leading up to this entry. Although unbeknownst to the C.S.C, Academy City has survived the incineration of the Outerverse event due to the Tower of Chaldeas protecting the city with a reality displacement field, similar to Remnant and the C.S.C. Because of this, the chronicles of Academy City are told in the side story, Toaru Kagaku no Academy City (A Certain Scientific Academy City) where the residents of the city must contend with the remaining domestic issues with the Dark Side, as well as dealing with the fact that they too are the last surviving members of the human race.

Anna's Premonition
Several years before the current year, The Guardian had seen a vision while she was reading a book. In this vision she saw that the Outerverse would be plunged into chaos and destruction, and that the Outer Gods would not prevent this from occurring. Having decided that the Outer Gods could not be entrusted to preserving Cosmic Human Order, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She traveled to Earth where she contacted the United Nations Magic Cabal and warned them of the coming threats, and that she needed their support in building the frontier that would protect the universe from Cosmic Side threats. This sparked a huge debate within the United Nations Magic Cabal, as there were already Organizations like their Global Occult Coalition, and the SCP Foundation who already were doing just that. Anna counters that both organizations would not be enough on their own, and that they needed people and resources from everywhere. After long deliberation, the UN decided to side with her and requested that the G.O.C, and the Foundation worked together along side her to create this defense organization. Anna had also went to Academy City and asked Aleister Crowley if they would join the alliance, but Academy City refused.

Moving on, she went to other Cosmic Side Organizations and factions to join the cause. Eventually, it became the organization known as the Cosmic Security Coalition.

Operations
Anna decided to set up their base in the south pole and began to develop all of the equipment and technology needed to ensure the organization's operations continued. It had become an international organizations with Magicians and scientists from all over coming together, with its existence being heavily concealed from the Outside world. Even Academy City was barred from having too much information on them as they believed that the Board Chairman could not be trusted.

While the Foundation and G.O.C handled the technical aspects and The International Center for Unified Thaumatology looked into the magical aspects, Anna was looking for top-tier magicians who would both be the leading field agents of the C.S.C and be potential cantidates to be her successor of her position as Guardian of Remnant. She eventually found 7 individuals whom she began to personally train so she can evaluate them. One of them had caught her eye and it was believed that there was one person whom she had in mind to inherit her role as the Guardian.

Meanwhile, the researchers and Magicians who worked in the facility had conducted various experiments in order to enhance the operatives whom were deployed there. The enhancement experiments involved a attempt at trying to replicate Academy City Espers, but many of the subjects were either killed, or rendered in a vegetative condition. The Magicians had gathered around various grimoires in a attempt to gain some sort of great power or an underhand, however, the tests of these Grimoires had destroyed the minds of the magicians who used them. Since then, Anna had banned experiments involving esper development and grimoire usage.

The C.S.C created various cutting edge inventions, such as LAPLACE, the Phenomenon Recording Cyber-Daemon, which was one of several safeguard measures set in place to preserve an Agent's spiritual integrity and safety during Rayshift. It was a magical device used to monitor the Outerverse's past, while DEUS was used to monitor the future. LAPLACE collects records of the past, where as its function is collecting history outside of public knowledge, or events that were quietly buried away.

Gaelion's War and the aftermath
The C.S.C continued to operate in secret, even after World War 3 and GREMLIN's attacks. When Gaelion emerged and started his campaign, Anna had to step away from C.S.C operations for a bit to deal with the conflict herself. Some point during this, they had conducted two Legendary Spirit summonings, but both were met with failed results. The first time, they were unable to summon anything due to some magical calculations being off, and the second time was when they had actually summoned a Legendary Spirit. While the summoning was successful, the being they summoned was in a state of panic and had gone on a rampage, killing 6 researchers and 3 Magicians, before utilizing the Summons System, which had sent the spirit to a far off location until it presumably faded away.

After Gaelion was defeated by Kamijou Touma for good, cosmic waves were detected in which a certain area had been severely affected from the destructive battles Gaelion had with a certain hero from another universe. It was a area in the void that had been designated as Universe 0, a place where the Mao-Kaioshin were imprisoned for eons. Anna asked the Ministry of Science to monitor that area and to also join the C.S.C, so that they would be prepared for the next major threat.

After the seal over Universe 0 was weakened from Gaelion's fights, Zarama of the Nexus took this opportunity to create Spiritual Items in the form of Golden Chalices as singularities which distorted Outerversal history, embedded on Magicians he designed to transform into Elder Demons as offsprings, and produced seven detonation points. That is the cause behind the collapse of the cornerstones of anthropic principle in the eras of multiple civilizations.

As the barrier continued, Zarama would create astral projections of himself to interact with the rest of the Cosmos, taking on a more flirtatious attitude, though in reality, it is implied that his actions were a front to fool those who would no doubt be coming after him. Eventually, the Barrier broke and Zarama, along with the rest of Arkon's Right Seat was released. It was then that Zarama had declaired war on the Outerverse and assembled a massive army to his cause, resulting in the creation of DOMINION. Since then, Zarama and his allies were carrying out multiple plans to cripple all the threats to their mission from all over the Cosmic Side. A temporal double of Zarama encounters Violent Violet and is brutally killed by her, with the sensation of each of her blows to the double his senses were connected to causing great damage to certain parts of his body. Ever since then, Zarama had avoided earth and Academy City in general personally.

With the DOMINION now throwing the Cosmic Side into chaos, Anna meets with the Ministry of Science to discuss how to handle the problem, and they decide to ramp up the C.S.C's operations and search for any abnormalities. At the same time, Anna would try to convince the Outer Gods to take action and deal with some of these disasters. Ruby and Blair presumably head into several DOMINION Territories and resolve the occupations there. At some point, DOMINION Attacks staggered off, but the result had left many major forces of the Cosmic Side in disarray. Anna decided to construct a modernized version of her tower in Academy City, using the remnants of the Endomyion Space Elevator as a basis. Her magic, along with the specialists from the UN and other organizations, cooporate with Academy City to build the Tower of Chaldeas, which was approved by board chairman Accelerator. At first, he was a bit skeptical of the idea of having a strange tower in the middle of the city without knowing what purpose it held, but Anna decided to make a deal with him. She assured Accelerator that the Tower had no malicious reasons for being in the city and sited that they may need it in the future. She then gave him an archived list of people, organizations, and entities from the cosmic side, that could potentially pose a danger to Academy City. Accelerator agreed, and let the Tower of Chaldeas be constructed, although he had appointed Tsuchimikado Motoharu as general oversight of its construction.

Zayane of the Right, the secondary leader of DOMINION had decided to go to the Academy City of Universe 1010 in order to experiment on the Esper population with her Dark Arts. At first, she was only going after Level 3s and 4s, but then she took an interest in the Level 5s of Academy City, specifically Misaka Mikoto and her growing inferiority complex about catching up with Touma and the Cosmic Side. She gets in her head, using her Dark Magic to corrupt her spirit, leading her to desire to want power to destroy the Outer Gods and to make Touma acknowledge her. This resulted in her becoming a somewhat stablized Level 6 that went on a rampage, destroying the City. The resulting chaos led her to getting into battles with Shirai Kuroko, Violent Violet, and Blair Blanchimont, the third whom decided to finish her off with Excaliburn, only for Touma to come in at the last moment and save her, negating the hex that was placed on Mikoto, returning her to normal.

A week afterwards, Zayane sends two DOMINION Agents to dispose of Yuuki Ayase, a childhood friend of Touma and someone who had the potential of becoming a Creator God. The agents eventually get caught up in the power struggle between Cosmic Side forces who sought to either kill her or forcibly awaken her potential. The agents were later taken out by Blair when they were pursuing Ayase and Touma throughout Academy City.

Zayane still had her plans of messing around with the other Level 5 in converting all of them into perfect lifeforms, while avoiding Ruby and Blair. She planted a Hex onto each of the Level 5s, which caused their emotions and power to run rampant. The hex used this time was a magic that bound the 7 souls together, merging them into a extremely powerful entity who called itself Proteus. It declaired that it was going to take over the earth, and demonstrated its ridiculous power by destroying the west cost of the United States. Hamazura Shiage and Takitsubo Rikou, accompanied by the Scarlet King and Kamijou Touma, accompanied by Tsukine, made separate attempts to stop Proteus, but were unable to do so due to the power it held. While Proteus kept everyone busy, Zayane herself was given a task of secure the Three Cores, (Index, Last Order, and Rikou) by Zarama, who wanted to use them for some unknown purpose. Since Rikou was currently with the Scarlet King, and Index in the presence of Anna, she made the dicesion to attack Last Order first since she was a miuch easier target than the other two. She tracked down Last Order to Judgement Branch Office 177, where Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari were watching over her as per the Board Chairman's request himself. Zayane attacks them, forcing them to evacuate the building. Kuroko tells Kazari to run while she distracts Zayane.

She overpowers Kuroko and drags her by the hair, battered and brused while chasing down Kazari and Last Order. The demon eventually caught up to them and struck down Kazari, gravely injuring her when she refused to give up the sleeping girl. She secired Last Order in a pocket dimension and prepared to eliminate the two girls, when Violent Violet intervened. Here, the God slayer tried her best to take down the demon, landing damaging blows to her, much to Zayane's surprise. She deduced that the tower constructed was emitting some kind of field that sapped Outer Gods and Demons of their power, allowing Violet to damage her a lot more than she might have been able to. The brutal battle reaches an end and Zayane is killed by Violet, through some unknown means involving an unidentified energy. Last Order is returned to safety.

Proteus causes more havoc, evetually leading to outside organizations like the Global Occult Coalition and SCP Foundation mobilizing to launch a full on assault on Academy City in order to stop Proteus. Anna conveniences them to hold off, allowing for Touma, Shiage the rest of ITEM, the support of the Misaka Network and even Index, doing the best they can to hold off against the Esper God. Touma eventually lands the final hit, negating the hex which restores all of the Level 5s back to their normal state. The attack is called off and the Level Fives are given medical attention.

Further revalations at the end, reveal that Zayane had used a Time Ring to bring over a version of herself from a month in the past, having seen her death at the hands of Violet with the ring. Since then, Zayane has avoided Academy City as long as Violet was there, not wanting to make the same miscalculation as her future self.

Emergency Summons
Shortly after the Proteus incident was resolved, the C.S.C had detected the initial singularity, of which had been classified as Singularity Zero, of which resided in none other than Academy City, some point after WW3. The mission to explore and terminate the singularity was codenamed First Order. To that end, the organization had begun to contact and recruit agents from all over, including those from the civilian population the following weeks. Misaka Mikoto was one of those selected to join, and later Kamijou Touma, Index, and Othinus were also selected. Mikoto was the first to leave through the Tower of Chaldea after saying good bye to Kuroko, Kazari, and Saten Ruiko. Touma and his two companions were picked up by Accelerator, Violent Violet, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu, albeit without a heads up, that same morning.

Other people such as tachibana Hibiki and Kohinata Miku from SONG were selected, and Bowen Chuuno with Rosalia Eris Blanchimont, who had already been working at the organization for some time now. Many more researchers, magicians, and some level 3s and 4s from Academy City were coming in and being debriefed.
