The moment Yagami Light shouted those words, the atmosphere of the entire city of Tokyo suddenly changed.

The bright crescent moon that had been hanging in the sky was stained crimson, as if dyed with blood.

And the streets, which had been empty just moments before, were instantly filled with a dense crowd of grotesque and aimlessly wandering evil spirits.

In the next second, the gazes of these evil spirits all turned to Yagami Hoshi, who was standing there.

"You... can see them?"

"You can see them!"

"You can see them!"

...

Hearing the ear-piercing roars of the evil spirits, Yagami Light's laughter was filled with utter madness.

"Hahahaha! This... is my 'palace'! The entire city of Tokyo has merged with the Reverse Side."

He looked at Yagami Hoshi with his crimson eyes, his face twisted in a ferocious expression.

"And in my 'palace,' all the evil spirits will spare no effort to find you, attack you. Escaping this city is absolutely impossible!"

"Escape?"

Hearing this, Yagami Hoshi shook his head and said calmly.

"Didn't I say? The things I've experienced are completely unimaginable to low-level players like you, such as..."

Yagami Hoshi raised a finger and pointed to the sky. Yagami Light subconsciously looked up, and the terrifying sight that entered his eyes made his pupils widen in shock.

"This... how is this possible..."

Above the city of Tokyo, more than a dozen giant meteorites with fiery tails appeared, falling towards the city at an alarming speed.

"Come on..."

Yagami Hoshi said slowly in a gentle, smiling voice.

"Since you are a god, then solve these dozen meteorites."

...

Ten minutes later, Kyoto City, at the location of the former Overload Society apartment building.

"Oh my god..."

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's exclamation, Yotsuya Miko, who was responsible for maintaining the alert, asked in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"Tokyo..."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and displayed the news live broadcast on her phone in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this station is here to announce a heavy and painful message."

"Just ten minutes ago, more than a dozen comets fell on the city of Tokyo. The range of the meteorite impact almost covered the entire city. The number of casualties is still being counted, but what is certain is..."

"All personnel within a thousand kilometers of the impact center, that is, the central area of Tokyo, have been killed..."

Listening to the host's broadcast from the phone, Yotsuya Miko and the others were silent.

"That guy..."

Yagami Light's mouth was slightly open, his expression incredulous, almost turning into a robot.

"He actually destroyed Tokyo? This kind of power is too..."

"It's really exaggerated..."

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but sigh, then said noncommittally.

"Fortunately, the person who possesses this destructive power is him. If it were any of us, even if we could do the same thing, in the face of the lives of an entire city, it's hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be any psychological problems."

"Indeed."

Just as Yotsuya Miko said, if it were anyone else present, even Yagami Light, who was evaluated by the members of the Overload Society as having an overly extreme style and philosophy, if he were to launch an attack that would destroy a city just to eliminate those few people, even knowing that the people of this world had become "Kira's" puppets, it would probably be very difficult to do. After all, rationality is rationality, and emotions cannot be controlled.

"Only that guy who has absolutely no moral burden can make the most correct, the most sensible choice, completely unaffected by emotional factors..."

"What?"

Just as Yotsuya Miko was halfway through her words, a softly laughing voice came.

"I seem to hear someone praising me?"

"Who praised you?"

Yotsuya Miko glared at Yagami Hoshi, who had walked over. Although she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she still said unhappily.

"We were just saying that you're always slacking off. It's too much."

"Hey, how can you call that slacking off?"

Yagami Hoshi waved his hand and retorted righteously.

"I can't use that kind of attack in that world. Summoning more than a dozen meteorites to砸 where? 砸 Kyoto? Besides, this move isn't very practical. Spiritual power users with relatively high speeds like Light can almost escape the center range of maximum power before the meteorites fall."

"That's true."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, thinking that if Yagami Hoshi used this kind of uncontrollable, powerful destructive move in his own world, the innocent bystanders would definitely die, and the city would be destroyed along with it. There was absolutely no need for that.

"Is the plan over here?"

Hearing L's question, Yagami Hoshi replied in a tone that was completely different from when he was talking to Yotsuya Miko, a tone that seemed very impatient.

"If it's not over, what else are we doing? Do you think I'm a perpetual motion machine? I've been fighting for so long, I'm exhausted. I don't know if it's possible to kill Yagami Light in this world, but before that, my spiritual power will definitely be exhausted first. You think I have Wind Spirit Moon Shadow on, fighting an entire world by myself?"

"That what..."

Yagami Light's expression seemed a little complicated.

"When referring to the Yagami Light of this world, why don't we just call him 'Kira'? Hearing you call my name, but thinking of another person, it's really a bit..."

"BYD, your male copper syndrome is acting up again, isn't it? Don't say such disgusting things."

...

At the same time that Yagami Hoshi and the others returned to their original world through the "passage", on the other side, in the central area of Tokyo, which had been razed to the ground.

"Light-kun!"

"Light!"

"Lord God!"

Takada Kiyomi, Mikami Teru, and Misa Amane changed into the combat uniforms formed by the soul's manifestation, and followed the traces left by the spiritual power to arrive at the scene where Yagami Light and Yagami Hoshi had just fought.

At that time, being in Tokyo, they naturally knew that Yagami Yue had opened his "palace", merging the entire city of Tokyo with its corresponding Reverse World.

This was a move Yagami Yue had never used before, prepared only as a precaution.

Through artificial intervention, he had bred a large number of powerful evil spirits in the Reverse World corresponding to Tokyo, and through years of cultivation, ensured that these evil spirits would not regard Yagami Yue, Kiyomi Takada, Misa Amane, and Teru Mikami as targets.

The drawbacks of this move were also obvious. First, the evil spirits would indiscriminately attack nearby humans, meaning that at least 90% of ordinary people in Tokyo would die if this ability was used. If the battle dragged on, the mortality rate would be 100%.

Second, once this move was used, even with their current power, Yagami Yue and the others would have to expend a great deal of effort to cover up matters related to the evil spirits if there were any survivors.

But now, it was fine.

“Mask” had solved it for them. Not to mention any informed survivors, the entire city of Tokyo had almost disappeared.

“Stop shouting… I’m here…”

Hearing the voice coming from the ruins in the distance, Teru Mikami and the others hurried over. In the ruins, they saw Yagami Yue sitting on the ground, leaning against the crumbling walls. The warm, charming smile he usually wore was gone, replaced by silence.

“Lord God, it’s so good that you’re safe!”

“Safe…”

Yagami Yue muttered to himself, his entire demeanor seeming to dim.

Sensing that his emotions were not quite right, Teru Mikami, Misa Amane, and Kiyomi Takada did not dare to say anything more, simply waiting quietly for a few minutes. Then, as if Yagami Yue had made some kind of resolution, he slowly spoke.

“Mikami.”

“Lord God, I’m here.”

“Destroy all the ‘channels’ in this world that connect to that world.”

“What?”

Even Teru Mikami, who was utterly loyal to Yagami Yue, couldn’t help but change his expression upon hearing this outrageous order.

“But, if we destroy the ‘channels’, we won’t be able to go to the other world in the short term, and we won’t be able to continue executing the plan…”

“Shut up, Mikami.”

Yagami Yue’s cold voice interrupted Teru Mikami. Misa Amane, who knew him best and had the most contact with him in daily life, keenly noticed that Yue’s hands…

Were trembling?

Was Yue… afraid?

“The problem now isn’t our invasion…”

Yagami Yue slowly stood up, recalling everything that had just happened. The fear in his heart was indescribable, but he still had to put on a calm facade in front of Teru Mikami and the others.

“We need to buy more time. At this stage…”

“We don’t have the ability to confront ‘Mask’ head-on, even if… he was the only one attacking this time.”

Chapter 504: The Crisis Encountered by the Strongest Exorcist, Touma Shigejo and Saya

Meanwhile, back in the original world, at the entrance of the ESP Research Society’s apartment building.

“We’re back?”

After passing through the “channel”, Miko Yotsuya felt the warmth of the sun shining on her and looked around. She saw many pedestrians on the streets in the distance. Judging from the position of the sun, it was probably noon.

“Phew… we’re finally back…”

Yui Yuigahama looked at the familiar surroundings and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t know why, but although that world also had daylight and seemed normal on the surface, with no apparent difference from this world, Yui Yuigahama always felt a strange… how should she describe it?

A sense of discomfort.

Although the people in that world seemed normal, Yui Yuigahama always felt that they were like puppets whose wills had been forcibly stripped away by a higher power. They would never think about whether “Kira’s” actions were right or wrong, only uttering fixed lines of praise like fixed NPCs when Yagami Yue appeared as a member of parliament or as “Kira”.

Just then, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly noticed that Yozora, who had returned to this world with them through the “channel”, was now leaning against the wall, his breathing becoming heavy. She paused slightly, then instinctively ran over, her face showing anxiety.

“What’s wrong? Were you injured in the battle? Yui, quickly contact Komachi and have her come over to use her ability to heal Yozora…”

Yozora waved his hand, replying in a slightly low voice.

“I’m fine, perfectly fine.”

Yukino Yukinoshita obviously didn’t believe him, frowning slightly.

“Then what is this…”

“I ate too much.”

Yukino Yukinoshita and the others: “…”

“You guy…”

Miko Yotsuya frowned, her tone somewhat complicated.

“You wouldn’t have… eaten all the souls of those who died in Tokyo…?”

“Not quite.”

Before Miko Yotsuya could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Yozora add.

“And those evil spirits in the Reverse World corresponding to Tokyo. That bastard Yagami Yue actually cultivated an army of evil spirits as a trump card in the Reverse World of Tokyo. You’d think he was playing Pokémon. But I have to say, they did taste pretty good.”

“You’re really crazy…”

Miko Yotsuya had a displeased expression, but her golden eyes revealed unconcealable worry. She took two steps forward, raised her hand to gently pat Yozora’s back, and said softly.

“Absorbing the memories of so many people at once, even you… can’t withstand that kind of mental pressure, right? What if something happens, or your Soul True Body goes out of control?”
