Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"The jury, the judge, and that criminal, the Bamboo Forest Man, were indeed somewhat related to the unfair verdict, but those bailiffs were just doing their jobs. To kill them simply for being obstacles… that's completely beyond any definition of justice."

Yagami Light's words were indeed without fault.

Although "Kira" also kills people, and sometimes his methods are somewhat cruel, he has never killed police officers or people who haven't committed any crimes themselves but are merely performing their duties and become obstacles to him.

This isn't entirely because of Yozora; it's also a bottom line that Yagami Light has set for himself, to not lose control.

The difference between bringing justice to the world and self-righteous arrogance sometimes lies in just this one line.

"But he didn't attack you or Ryuzaki, which is very strange…"

Futaba Rio murmured, turning her gaze to Yotsuya Miko, who was sitting on the other sofa, and sighed softly.

"Miko, can you still not perform time reversal?"

"No, I can't."

Yotsuya Miko summoned her Hundred Eyes, seeing that the Eye of the Storm within its eye socket, unlike its original bright red color, had turned into an extremely dim, grayish-white color, as if it would extinguish in the next second. She said calmly,

"I don't know if it's because of overuse in the past or interference from some kind of power, but at this point in time, I can't activate time reversal. As for whether it can recover… I'm not sure. I'll have to wait for Hundred Eyes to devour more evil spirits before I can make a judgment."

Seeing Futaba Rio's worried expression, Yozora smiled and said,

"It doesn't matter; it's not important."

"Not important?"

"Of course, it's not important."

Yozora chuckled nonchalantly and explained,

"Light and Ryuzaki didn't die. As for the consequences of this incident… well, there's nothing we can do. According to Light's description, with that guy's abilities, he can launch such an attack at any time. Even if the ability to reverse time is still there, I wouldn't let Miko do it. Her ability comes at the cost of death and consumes a lot of spiritual power. Don't forget, we can save the lives of innocent people, but the premise is that the safety of our own people is more important than anything else."

"I'm not some saintly hero overflowing with compassion; it's just a hobby. Since I'm like this, you guys should just follow my moral standards. This is my decision, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Are you still saying such things at this point?"

Yotsuya Miko shook her head, a rare gentle smile appearing on her face. She sat next to Yozora, took his hand, and her golden eyes showed a firm look.

"Don't think of me as so fragile. How could I let you bear these responsibilities alone, just to make myself feel better? Since we're family, we should face it together."

Futaba Rio pushed up her glasses, her face slightly red, and took Yozora's other hand, pretending to be calm.

"Yeah… Miko and I feel the same way."

Meanwhile, Yagami Light, on the other end of the video call, looked speechless.

"Hey… I'm still here, you know."

Chapter 484: Humiliating the God of the Worldline, Yagami Father and Son's Open Confession

After ending the video call, Futaba Rio let go of Yozora's hand. After all, they were still in the living room of the villa. Holding Yozora's hand with Yotsuya Miko was fine, but if others saw it… it would be a little embarrassing.

After letting go, she pretended to be calm and adjusted her glasses, half changing the subject and half seriously analyzing,

"According to Yagami-kun's description, that man's spiritual power is very strong. Regardless of the degree of his actions' wickedness, killing so many people in one second is something even I can't do. Even if I could, the scene wouldn't look so easy."

Yotsuya Miko nodded slightly.

"Yes, me too. Normally, the spiritualist's main body is a weakness, but that person dared to show his main body even knowing Yagami-kun's identity. Either the one who appeared wasn't his main body but a puppet that looked like his main body, or… he's different from the spiritualists transformed by Sakurakawa Rikka and is like us, possessing enough self-defense power even without using soul materialization."

"Could such a thing happen…?"

Listening to Yotsuya Miko's analysis, Futaba Rio felt a little heavy in her heart.

The reason why Overload Company has been invincible so far and hasn't sacrificed any members is that, in addition to Yozora, the captain, being very professional and acting very cautiously, the more important point is that they possess physical qualities far superior to ordinary people, greatly reducing the risk of fatal injuries in battle.

But this time, if the enemies they face are all like that young man, possessing high-intensity spiritual power and physical qualities comparable to Overload Company members…

It would be hard to say whether there would be any member sacrifices.

Especially with Yotsuya Miko temporarily unable to use her time reversal ability, there would be no second chance.

"The question is, how did that guy's spiritual power increase to the point where it's stronger than Yagami-kun's?"

The question Futaba Rio asked was also what Yotsuya Miko was puzzled about.

Although Yagami Light isn't enthusiastic about eliminating evil spirits, he has never slacked off in order to improve his spiritual power. Moreover, Yagami Light is also the second spiritualist, besides "Mask," to have a large number of followers and receive faith bonuses.

Under such circumstances, Yagami Light actually felt that the long-haired man's spiritual power was even better than his?

How many evil spirits would his Soul True Body have to devour to achieve that?

If there were such large-scale hunting operations targeting evil spirits, Oda Notou, who has extensive connections in the exorcism circle, should have received the news at the first time, just like the disturbance in Okinawa City this time. But he has never received any news in this regard.

And the underworlds of Kyoto and Tokyo are under the monitoring of Overload Company and Amadeus, respectively.

"The underworld of Osaka? That's not right either…"

Futaba Rio immediately thought of Osaka City, the only place not under supervision but with an underworld, and immediately shook her head.

"To stack up spiritual power of that level, even in the underworld, the number of evil spirits would be noticeably reduced. When we went to the Osaka underworld last time, we didn't find this situation. If it's said that he's been preying in this short period of more than a month, that speed would be too fast. Where exactly did that guy's spiritual power come from…?"

"Didn't he say his Soul True Name?"

Yotsuya Miko's golden eyes flickered, thoughtfully.

"Assuming he wasn't lying, 'Severing Injustice, Minamoto no Yoritomo'… that guy's true heart is actually such a desire. It matches the declaration he made before killing people. It seems he is indeed a spiritualist who awakened by facing his true heart, just like us, rather than a fake like Sakurakawa Rikka, possessed by an evil god but thinking she awakened her spiritual power."

Rio Futaba noticed that Yozora, who was usually very talkative and often made abstract remarks, was unusually silent at this moment, as if he was thinking about something. She couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hey, they've already declared war on you, why don't you have any reaction? Shouldn't you be saying at this time that you are the strongest exorcist in history, chosen by fate, the only protagonist to save the world, and that mere ants can be crushed with a snap of your fingers?"

"You've already said it all, what else can I say?"

Yozora replied casually at first, then slowly opened his mouth and said something that Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya did not expect.

"The person that Yue described, that tone of voice, appearance, including that declaration, makes me think of someone."

"Who?"

"Teru Mikami."

"Mikami... Teru?"

Hearing this completely unfamiliar name, Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Have we met this person before?"

"Of course not, I haven't even met him."

"Then how do you know him?"

"I don't know him either, I just know his appearance, personality, goals, ideals, and name."

"'Just'?"

Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya couldn't quite understand Yozora's words, thinking that if you don't know a person and are very familiar with them, how could you know so many things?

Not to mention that Yozora also said that he had never met the person before.

Then where did this information come from?

"If it's really him, then it's going to be a little interesting."

Yozora rested his chin on one hand, looking very interested.

In the original timeline of Death Note, Teru Mikami was about four years older than Light Yagami. Normally, Teru Mikami at this time should still be in college, but according to Light Yagami and L's description, as well as that mature dress of wearing a suit and tie, it is clear that Teru Mikami appearing in front of them is not the taciturn, justice-obsessed college student, but has already entered society.

In that case...

The timeline doesn't match.

"So that's how it is..."

Yozora scanned the surroundings, a flame-like flicker burning in his black pupils, and chuckled.

"What a pitiful and humble god, saying that he wants to punish me for destroying the original timeline's progress, but in the end, he's actually bringing in reinforcements from another timeline? Are you angry now? Didn't expect it, did you? I know that guy's appearance, and I also know his identity. Such a low-level scheme that can be seen through at a glance is really hilarious."

Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba didn't understand what Yozora was saying at first, but when the last word came out, the two of them simultaneously felt a sudden surge of spiritual power.

"Want to escape?"

Yozora seemed to have expected it and didn't hesitate at all.

"Domain Expansion: Divine Purification Exorcism."

In just an instant, the warm sunlight outside the villa window and the beautiful beach disappeared, replaced by a pure nothingness.

Accompanied by a sound like an electric current crackling, a humanoid creature composed of rainbow light had nowhere to hide under the effect of Divine Purification Exorcism, revealing its true form.

"You... you..."

This god, representing the will of the timeline, didn't expect that he would be caught. The rainbow light that made up his body began to fluctuate. Even though there were no facial features on his face, it was clear that he was flustered at this moment.

"Heh heh, didn't expect it?"

Yozora slowly walked to the front of the god. Although the two were about the same height, he exuded a condescending victor's posture.

"You wanted to come and see us racking our brains to investigate that person's identity, but we couldn't find any clues, and we were as anxious as ants on a hot pot? What a joke."

"Why... why do you know...?"

"Why do I know that person is Teru Mikami?"

Yozora interrupted the god's words, as if thinking seriously. After a few seconds, he smiled and replied.

"Heh heh, I won't tell you."

"You..."

"I not only know Teru Mikami, I also know that the god he is referring to is Light Yagami from another timeline."

Upon hearing this, the spiritual power fluctuations on the body of the god of the timeline became more obvious, and the rainbow light that made up his body flickered a few times.

"How do you know...?"

"Eh? Is that really it?"

The smile on Yozora's face became more obvious, and he shrugged.

"What a stupid guy. I wasn't sure at first, but after hearing your words, I can now be sure."

"You..."

The god of the timeline realized at this moment that he, as a high and mighty god, was actually tricked by a mere human?

Of course, this can't all be blamed on him.

The god of the timeline would never have thought that Teru Mikami, whom he pulled from another timeline, would be identified by Yozora without even meeting him.

Clearly, this person does not exist on this timeline at all, so why would the other party...

"You so-called gods are really disgusting."

Yozora continued to output.

"What breaking the boundaries between life and death, what interfering with the original progress of the timeline, you are always looking for such high-sounding reasons to prove some so-called divine punishment, but in reality..."

"It's just because we humans are actually able to do the same things as you, so you are exasperated."

"You don't even dare to admit this. As expected... you are weak and incompetent beings."

The rainbow light fluctuations on the body of the god of the timeline became more obvious upon hearing this, and he exasperatedly said.

"Presumptuous, presumptuous! Mere humans, how dare you mere humans offend the gods! You, you..."

Anyone could see that the god of the timeline was exasperated because the essence of his actions had been exposed.

The boundary between life and death?

When that black figure launched an attack on the moving train, didn't he think about whether he was breaking the boundaries between life and death if he involved those passengers who shouldn't have died?

By the same token, as a part of this world, all the actions of the Overload members are inherently creating a brand new timeline.

The timeline was never meant to be fixed on any one line, so how can there be any talk of destroying the timeline?

The reason why these two gods launched the attack was just for one simple reason that they were unwilling to admit.

Mere humans, how dare you do such a thing that only gods are qualified to do?

The rest are just high-sounding excuses.

Even at this moment, although the god of the timeline had completely lost his composure, he still mocked.

"Heh heh... heh heh heh, it's too late, it's completely too late. The moment Light Yagami from that world arrives, you will know what true terror is. You have no way to stop him, let alone contend with him, because he is..."
