Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"What? Did you really think that without my Soul Manifestation powers, I've become an ordinary human? You know nothing, yet your self-assured stupidity makes me want to laugh."

The evil spirit residing within the middle-aged woman's body had realized just how naive it and its companions had been.

The human before them... although he hadn't engaged in any exorcism activities since that battle and seemed to have genuinely lost that ability called Soul Manifestation, his combat power... was as terrifying as ever!

To be able to leap to the height of a twenty-story building with pure physical strength and effortlessly smash through thick concrete walls... could this really be considered a human!?

"Crack..."

The middle-aged woman's body began to contort, the bones and joints within emitting a series of cracking sounds.

It didn't think about running away because, as far as it knew, no evil spirit, monster, or even opposing human spirit user who had been found by this human claiming to be the strongest exorcist had ever managed to escape his clutches.

There was no option to escape; only to struggle desperately, hoping to gain a chance at survival.

Watching the middle-aged woman's skin stretch, her entire being transforming into a monster nearly two meters tall, with sharp claws on its hands, covered in black fur, its face twisted like a beast, fangs dripping saliva, and four tails growing from its back, Yae Hoshi simply shook his head, somewhat ruefully.

"So, it's a Nekomata, huh? Sigh, really, you can't let Yukino see you like this; otherwise, she might become desensitized to cute cats forever."

"I'll kill you!!!"

After revealing its true form, the Nekomata opened its mouth filled with sharp teeth, its figure extremely agile, pouncing towards Yae Hoshi with a bizarre, unpredictable trajectory, the tips of its sharp claws gleaming coldly, emitting a dangerous aura.

"Swish!"

Yae Hoshi dodged the Nekomata's pounce, seeing the claws directly carve several cracks into the wall, without the slightest hesitation, he directly pulled out a gun from his chest and aimed, immediately pulling the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Although the Nekomata still maintained a humanoid posture, its movements were like those of a true feline, its body crouching on the ground, directly dodging the several bullets fired from the muzzle at a speed that even the human eye couldn't follow.

"Hmph, human firearms? You underestimate me too much."

After saying these words, the Nekomata pounced again, but this time, Yae Hoshi didn't dodge, but directly raised his arm to block.

The sound of claws piercing flesh rang out.

Watching his claws pierce Yae Hoshi's left shoulder, the Nekomata couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, thinking that although the opponent's physical qualities were very strong, it was probably because he was too accustomed to fighting with Soul Manifestation abilities, and after losing that ability, he couldn't fully display his due...

"Hmm, very fast, has the ability to dodge bullets, attack power is not bad, able to cause damage to my body, which means it has the attack power to penetrate the Soul Manifestation defense of all members, must try to avoid injury..."

Seeing Yae Hoshi, whose left shoulder was still bleeding, looking as if nothing had happened, even taking out his phone, muttering to himself while recording on it, the Nekomata couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"You... what are you doing..."

"Shut up, don't be noisy."

As Yae Hoshi's voice fell, the Nekomata only felt a blur before its eyes, and the next second, it felt its head being grabbed and directly slammed onto the hard floor.

"Listening to the tone of your conversation with that guy just now, you seem to have a higher position as well; it seems that not every evil spirit occupying a human body possesses power like yours."

Yae Hoshi stepped on the Nekomata's head with one foot, recorded all the information in the phone's memo, then put the phone away and said with a light smile.

"Alright, only the last piece of information is left."

"Let me try, the limit of your endurance."

......

Ten minutes later, Kasumigaoka Utaha saw the black mist on the street disappear as if it had never appeared, and the red moon in the sky also became invisible. Although there were still no pedestrians on the street, it looked... like it had returned to normal?

"It seems that Master has won."

Hearing the words of the woman beside her, Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but ask with some worry.

"Will he really be alright? Without you as a weapon, and he has lost that power called Soul Manifestation, will he really not..."

"Don't worry."

Onimaru Kunitsuna revealed a gentle smile. After all, although she had never met Kasumigaoka Utaha, judging from the fact that Yae Hoshi had ordered her to protect the other party, Onimaru Kunitsuna could also guess that the black-haired, red-eyed girl in front of her might become her mistress in the future, so she patiently explained.

"Even without the ability of Soul Manifestation, Master's strength is the strongest. Didn't you see? He can directly jump to the height of a twenty-story building, so... you still shouldn't treat him as an ordinary human."

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to say something, she saw Yae Hoshi walking in from outside, holding a phone, seemingly on a call with someone.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. As for the information I obtained from searching that guy's memory, and the intelligence I obtained in battle, I'll send it to you by email."

After finishing the battle, Yae Hoshi first made a phone call to Yotsuya Miko to let her know he was safe.

Because he knew that Onimaru Kunitsuna had suddenly been summoned by him, and without knowing what had happened, Urushihara Ruka would definitely notify the members of the Overload Society. This was also his safety measure, in order to notify the members of the Overload Society of the danger in the event that he was in the reverse world and unable to contact the outside world, by summoning Onimaru Kunitsuna.

As for cleaning up the traces of the scene, there was no need, because when the battle started, this area had already been pulled into the reverse world, so all the traces left behind would only remain in the reverse world.

Before completely killing the Nekomata, Yae Hoshi had cleaned up all the blood he had dripped on the scene, after all, because of his special physique, even that little bit of blood could, by chance, create a powerful evil spirit.

Although, so far, no evil spirit has been able to withstand the backlash of swallowing him, it's always right to be cautious.

"Yae Hoshi, you're injured! ?"

Seeing the blood on Yae Hoshi's coat, Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, then her face showed a worried look, and she quickly ran forward to support Yae Hoshi.

"Should we go to the hospital? Is it serious? I'll call an ambulance."

"No need."

Yae Hoshi took off his coat, which had holes left by the Nekomata's claws, rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the wound on his left shoulder, which was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and smiled at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"By the time the ambulance arrives, my wound will have healed completely."

"You this..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was dumbfounded. On the one hand, she was shocked by Yae Hoshi's amazing recovery speed, on the other hand, she looked at his face with a relaxed smile, but she couldn't help but feel very distressed.

There were several penetrating holes in his shoulder. Just thinking about it made her feel pain, but Yae Hoshi was still acting as if nothing was wrong...

In the process of acting as 'Kamen,' how many times had Yae Hoshi suffered such injuries and endured so much pain that ordinary people couldn't imagine?

"Onimaru Kunitsuna."

"Master."

"Fly back first."

"Okay."

Watching the Ghost Maru Kunitsuna transform back into a jet-black long sword and quickly fly towards the horizon, Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't know how to react.

Good heavens, as expected of one of the Five Swords Under Heaven, the strongest exorcist's dedicated weapon, it even comes with an automatic return function?

"Eh? On you…"

Utaha Kasumigaoka plucked a strand of black fluff from Yusei's shoulder, her brow furrowed.

"What is this?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Yusei waved his hand dismissively, replying with a smile.

"I was petting a cat just now."

…

Later that evening, inside the Ouantum Society's apartment building.

Rio Futaba looked at the memory information Yusei had sent, obtained after devouring those two evil spirits, picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and frowned deeply.

"So, in the reverse worlds corresponding to the three cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, there appeared 'gates' that lead to unknown places but can greatly enhance the power of evil spirits? This…"

Miko Yotsuya saw what Rio Futaba was thinking and said in a calm tone.

"I have the same thought as you; this is too much of a coincidence."

Miko Yotsuya looked at the members present, lost in thought.

"Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, three cities have reverse worlds, and these three reverse worlds all underwent changes after Yusei lost the power of soul materialization. Coincidentally…"

"As far as we know now, including myself, there happen to be three people who possess the 'World' card."

"This correspondence in numbers, I'm afraid… isn't just a simple coincidence."

Chapter 564: The Method to Eradicate the Reverse World, the Exorcist's Final Trial

"Could it be…"

Rio Futaba frowned, giving her analysis based on the known information.

"Each 'gate' in the reverse world requires the power of someone who has completed regeneration and holds the 'World' card to seal it? But… although we have four 'World' cards, only two of us still possess the power of soul materialization."

Hearing Rio Futaba's speculation, the members of the Ouantum Society couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

Could it be… that the two 'World' cards held by Yusei, corresponding to those two types of soul materialization power, were originally meant to seal the 'gates' in the reverse world, but because of the appearance of Ahriman, who calls himself the god of dominion and creation, the collective of all human desires, he could only sacrifice these two powers to summon Sataniel and use the Sin Armor-Piercing Bullet, leading to the situation now… where the 'gate' in one city's reverse world cannot be sealed?

"Damn it… this might be the method to completely eradicate the reverse world, right in front of our eyes, but we can't do it…"

Hearing Miko Yotsuya say this, with her usually calm and collected personality, the others weren't surprised that she expressed such obvious frustration, something she would never usually say.

Among all the members of the Ouantum Society, Miko Yotsuya is the most disgusted and intolerant of evil spirits and monsters, after all, in terms of the time of awakening her 'Observation' ability, Miko Yotsuya is the earliest known person to come into contact with that world.

Moreover, unlike Yusei's situation, Yusei awakened his soul materialization ability the moment he awakened his 'Observation' ability and saw an evil spirit in front of him, gaining the power to destroy evil spirits, but Miko Yotsuya, after enduring a long period of psychological torture where she could only pretend not to see and had to suppress the fear in her heart, without even being able to change her expression, finally awakened and became a psychic.

With such an experience, she didn't even go crazy, and even her personality is very normal except for habitually pretending to be expressionless, which is simply superhuman in the face of fear.

"Considering that we might not be able to leave on our own after entering that 'gate' in the reverse world and that it must be sealed…"

Rio Futaba looked at the members of the Ouantum Society and slowly began to speak.

"Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, three cities… we must decide in advance which city to give up."

…

At the same time, in a luxurious suite of a hotel in Tokyo.

"Um… Yusei, are you going out?"

Hearing Utaha Kasumigaoka's slightly worried inquiry, Yusei just smiled dismissively.

"Yeah, I'm going out to buy something."

Utaha Kasumigaoka stood up upon hearing this, pursing her lips.

"Then I'll go with you… no, you're injured today. Tell me what you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you."

"Am I that fragile?"

Yusei first replied with a smile, then took two steps forward and gently patted Utaha Kasumigaoka's head. If someone else made this gesture, which was like coaxing a child, Utaha Kasumigaoka would definitely impatiently swat their hand away and then directly activate her poisonous tongue mode, but when Yusei made this gesture, her face flushed slightly, and she even subconsciously moved closer.

"Alright, I'll be back soon. If you can't wait, go to sleep first."

Sleeping in the same room at night was Utaha Kasumigaoka's initiative. She said that she didn't have much money and couldn't afford to book two rooms, but the price of a top-floor room in this luxury hotel was enough to book seven or eight ordinary rooms, which was obviously an excuse.

The real reason was that, on the one hand, Utaha Kasumigaoka wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity to spend the night alone with Yusei and spend some ambiguous and intimate time together. On the other hand, it was also because the events that happened during the day had indeed frightened her a bit.

So many bizarre evil spirits… some with human upper bodies but spider-like lower bodies, some nearly three meters tall and wielding rusty machetes, and some with necks like water snakes, whose heads could directly lunge out nearly ten meters…

Utaha Kasumigaoka's courage isn't very small; at least, it's much stronger than Yukino Yukinoshita's original courage. However, after seeing those evil spirits that appeared on the street, the shadows in her heart still lingered, and she even felt that if she slept alone at night, she would likely have nightmares.

"Um… I understand…"

Because she was a little scared, Utaha Kasumigaoka's voice became soft, and she tugged at Yusei's sleeve, whispering.

"Then… then come back early, and be careful."

"Okay."

Yusei replied with a smile before walking out of the hotel room.

Just outside the door, a humanoid creature wearing ragged clothes, with skin that was broken and grayish-white, and only one dark green eye remaining, and a translucent golden monster with a head like a goat, were obediently squatting outside.

"Slaughter Demon, Goat Head, I'm leaving her to you. You absolutely cannot allow any evil spirits to approach her, understood?"

Slaughter Demon nodded: "Don't worry."

The golden goat head also shook its huge head. In the hotel corridor, its massive body could only curl up, like a dog waiting for its master to feed it.

"Roar, roar."

"Alright, let's go."

After leaving the hotel, Yusei first found a convenience store and bought two cans of ice-cold Coca-Cola. Then, he didn't go straight back but instead came to a dark alley in Tokyo.

But when he arrived, he saw two familiar figures standing there.

"As Ryuzaki analyzed, you would come here."

Light Yagami stood in front of the 'gate' leading to the reverse world, a smile on his face, and spoke softly.
