Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Watching the other's corpse fall to the ground, Eight Feet Tall Lady glanced at Kaguya Shinomiya with lingering fear, muttering softly to Menma beside her.

“Her ability… is so terrifying…”

“Terrifying?”

Kaguya Shinomiya heard Eight Feet Tall Lady's words and turned around, her face already adorned with a smiling, amiable expression, completely different from the coldness and arrogance she displayed when commanding the enemy to commit suicide just now. It was as if she had become a different person.

“My ability only works on targets with consciousness. I can't manipulate evil spirits that only know how to kill and have no rational thinking ability. Moreover, the time I can control the other party is very limited, so it's not a particularly invincible ability.”

Eight Feet Tall Lady curled her lips upon hearing this, thinking, isn't that invincible enough?

Ordinary evil spirits?

Wouldn't it be better to just eliminate ordinary evil spirits directly?

Besides, how long has it been since Kaguya Shinomiya became a spirit user?

The ability to materialize souls will continue to grow stronger.

If it really develops to the point where she can completely control other people's actions with just a glance, that's also possible.

Meanwhile, in a small alley in the shopping street, a SERN member… no, now it should be said, a male spirit user who thought he was a SERN member and had his memory modified, looked at the bustling crowd outside the alley, a twisted look in his eyes.

A ghostly blue flame emerged from his hands.

If he activated his spirit ability here, given the population density of Shibuya's shopping street, he could burn hundreds of people to death in just five seconds.

The fear caused by this would be enough to create a powerful evil spirit in the corresponding location in the Reverse World.

Just then, the male spirit user suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder.

When he subconsciously turned his head, what came into view was an extremely beautiful woman's face with an elegant smile.

“Slit-Mouthed Woman, do it.”

“Okay.”

A split mouth descended from above, biting off the male spirit user's head in one go.

“Pui, pui, pui, pui…”

The Slit-Mouthed Woman spat out the spirit user's head, looked at the headless corpse lying on the ground, and looked at Tamamo-no-Mae standing there with a wronged expression.

“Actually… I don't like this attack method… It's a bit too disgusting…”

“Ah?”

Tamamo-no-Mae frowned slightly upon hearing this, and asked doubtfully.

“Then what are your usual attack methods?”

“This.”

The Slit-Mouthed Woman took out a utility knife, extended the sharp blade, and looked like a child showing off.

“How is it? The sound of the blade being extended is very scary.”

Looking at the miniature utility knife, Tamamo-no-Mae's face was complicated. After a long while, she sighed and said.

“Your ability… is really simple and unadorned…”

Chapter 429: Meaning of Existence, Earning Overtime Again for the Superhuman Society

Meanwhile, in the Reverse World, Professor Leskinen, in that Shibuya shopping street, seeing that nothing had happened around him, his expression had completely frozen.

“You… you actually… my plan…”

When he heard the voice of Yagami Light, Professor Leskinen belatedly realized that the other party had somehow bypassed his line of sight using that ability hidden in the shadows and was already standing next to the golden statue symbolizing the original desire of the “Palace”.

“We have the strongest exorcist here, and the world's strongest detective.”

Yagami Light took off his crimson Tengu mask, and with a wave of his hand, the mask transformed into the appearance of Emperor Sutoku.

In his scarlet eyes, there was undisguised contempt and disdain. Although his body seemed small in front of Professor Leskinen, who had transformed into a monster, his aura completely suppressed the other party.

“If you wanted to use your brain science technology to change this world, perhaps I would have thought highly of you, but…”

When Yagami Light said this, Emperor Sutoku had already opened his mouth and bit into the huge golden statue.

“Acting for the sake of false fame, you are just a vulgar and boring puppet controlled by your own desires.”

“No!!!”

Seeing Emperor Sutoku bite the golden statue symbolizing his desires, Professor Leskinen let out a miserable roar, and the tentacles on his body began to dance rapidly, trying to stop the other party from devouring his desires.

“Domain Expansion, Bone Prison.”

Rio Futaba naturally wouldn't let Professor Leskinen have his way. After softly reciting her domain name, cold white bones instantly rose from the ground, forming a huge bone cage, trapping Professor Leskinen's body inside.

Not only that, Rio Futaba, who usually didn't like to show her emotional fluctuations, looked at Professor Leskinen trapped in the bone cage, recalling the hundreds of victims in the building explosion incident, and the fact that the other party had caused her friend Miko Yotsuya to die once. Undisguised anger flowed in her eyes, and she raised her hand and said softly.

“This is the punishment you deserve.”

At the moment when Rio Futaba's voice fell, hundreds of fine bone thorns suddenly extended from the dozens of white bones that were originally just a prison, directly piercing Professor Leskinen's body.

Listening to Professor Leskinen's miserable howls, watching the other party suffer a punishment like the Iron Maiden, yet unable to escape, Kurisu Makise's eyes showed a hint of unbearable pain.

After all, the other party was a senior who was both her teacher and friend. Kurisu Makise had once thought about how great the changes Amadeus would bring to the world when it was successfully developed. As a scientist, making the world a better place was Kurisu Makise's wish.

But…

Amadeus did have the power to change the world, but Professor Leskinen was bewitched by this power, wanting his name to be remembered forever, and even wanting to become a god, for which he did all these shocking actions.

Even she, Kurisu Makise herself, was just a pawn in the other party's plan.

The moment Emperor Sutoku touched the golden statue, the huge golden statue turned into a pale golden sphere and was quickly swallowed by Emperor Sutoku.

Professor Leskinen's monster-like projection also turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in the miserable howls of being pierced by bone thorns.

“Finally solved…”

Unlike the other Superhuman Society members who breathed a sigh of relief, L noticed that Yagami Light's expression was a little stiff, as if he had fallen into a state of confusion.

At this time, in Yagami Light's mind, another kind of battle was taking place.

All around was a white space. Yagami Light, dressed in his usual school uniform and looking every bit the model student, was confronting Professor Reisner.

"Heh, easier than I imagined…"

Professor Reisner narrowed his eyes, a villainous smile of triumph on his face, as he sized up Yagami Light. He raised his arms in a dramatic pose and laughed loudly.

"My psychic ability is to control memories. What does it matter if I die? As long as my memories and personality take over your body, it's just a matter of surviving in a new vessel. With your identity, I will one day completely destroy 'Mask'!"

"Is that so."

Hearing Reisner's words, Yagami Light merely glanced around and shook his head with a scornful smile.

"I see. No wonder you so easily revealed your true desires. You were planning to use your memory-based psychic ability to possess and devour the bodies of those you desire… In other words, this place symbolizes the space of my mind, correct?"

"Hmph… Still defiant even when death is at hand…"

Professor Reisner, looking confident and unafraid, gradually swelled to a height of nearly three meters, looking down at Yagami Light.

"Here, you cannot use your psychic abilities. Resist less, suffer less. Be a good boy and become a part of me!!!"

"I see…"

Yagami Light replied noncommittally. The next second, Professor Reisner saw Yagami Light's figure also begin to swell, the huge shadow enveloping Professor Reisner.

Looking at the monster before him, twenty or thirty meters tall, with wings sprouting from its back like a Great Tengu, and scarlet light gleaming in its eyes, Professor Reisner took two steps back, his legs beginning to tremble.

"You… You… Why… Why is this happening…"

"You didn't actually think…"

Yagami Light stretched out a huge claw, grasping Professor Reisner's body like a toy in his palm, slowly raising it to his face. In those scarlet eyes, undisguised killing intent was released.

"That I was some psychologically sound, normal person, did you?"

"The distortion and obsession within my heart surpasses yours a thousandfold."

… …

In the outside world, two seconds passed.

When Yagami Light regained consciousness, what appeared before him was a pair of emotionless black eyes.

"Welcome back."

Looking at Yagami Light, who had returned to normal, and observing his eyes, L showed a rare hint of a smile.

"Light."

"You can actually tell it's me?"

"Of course."

L nodded slightly, replying in a flat tone.

"That seemingly gentle, polite, and humble demeanor of yours, which actually looks down on almost everyone, isn't something anyone can easily imitate. At the very least, that Professor Reisner's acting certainly couldn't fool me."

Yagami Light couldn't help but ask curiously upon hearing this.

"Then, if he had taken over my body, what would you have done?"

"Don't ask such childish questions."

L casually waved his hand, saying indifferently.

"If you couldn't even beat him, we would definitely take the safest approach, which is to erase Professor Reisner's consciousness and your body right here."

Yagami Light didn't get angry upon hearing this, but instead revealed a satisfied smile.

"As expected of you. If it were me, I would definitely make the same choice."

… …

On the other side, in the ruined street in Tokyo's Reverse Side.

"Tap… Tap…"

Hearing the sound of gravel falling on the ground, Amadeus slowly turned around, watching the corpses of the Memory Bodies scattered on the ground, beginning to turn into light particles and dissipate. She first lowered her head to look at her wrist, confirming that she wasn't disappearing, before looking at Yoru Hoshi standing there.

"It seems… Professor has already been taken care of by you guys."

"Yeah…"

Yoru Hoshi raised the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his hand, pointing the blade at Amadeus standing there, and said indifferently.

"Now, it's time to send you on your way."

"You're going to eliminate me?"

"Playing pitiful? Buddy, I'm not falling for that."

Hearing this, Amadeus first made an extremely human-like, slightly haughty expression of turning her head to the side with a hum, but then, as if she had triggered some program setting, she instantly returned to that cold and emotionless appearance, shaking her head vigorously and muttering to herself.

"The influence brought by the main personality… I actually have emotions… What a nuisance experience…"

After saying this, Amadeus looked at Yoru Hoshi and said indifferently.

"Actually, the two of us don't have a reason to be enemies. Although I was born to destroy you, I now understand that with my abilities, it is absolutely impossible to accomplish this, and… I don't really want to kill you that much."

"The current me… cannot leave the Reverse Side. Professor Reisner has already been taken care of by you guys, and the world line has changed. Although I am an artificial intelligence created by him on this timeline, all the memories I possess are from another world line."

"I am not an 'Observer'… I am not even human. The current state of me can only exist in the Reverse Side, where the mind determines matter. Once I arrive in the real world, I will inevitably be affected by the changes in the world line."

Yoru Hoshi didn't show any surprise or astonishment upon hearing this, but said carelessly.

"In other words, if you go to the real world and are affected by the changes in the world line, your own existence might be directly erased, is that what you mean, right?"

"Most likely, but even if my existence isn't erased, even if on this world line, there is still someone, for example… Makise Kurisu still develops Amadeus, but…"

Amadeus had a complex expression on her face, posing a philosophical question.

"Is that me with different memories still the current me? The current me… in your human terms, wouldn't that be equivalent to being completely dead?"

"I don't know, I don't understand, and I don't want to try to understand."

Yoru Hoshi had no intention of discussing this topic with Amadeus, but just smiled and said.

"In other words, you can only exist in the Reverse Side now, but… why should I let you go? If you want to beg me to let you continue to exist, you have to show some sincerity, right?"

"Sincerity, huh…"
