Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately understood.

"Do you mean… that because our impression of 'Mask' is that it possesses powerful regenerative abilities, the strongest being who can never lose… that through our 'perception,' this guy has gained such power?"

"Perhaps, but I think it's highly likely, and it's not just us…"

Rio Futaba stared intently at the evil spirit Mask standing there, lost in thought.

"The Reverse Side and the Root are the sea of hearts of all humanity… I'm afraid it's not just those of us here; the world's perception of the 'Mask' image is providing power to this guy, which is why its appearance is almost identical to 'Mask,' but its temperament is different from Yozora's, because what this guy represents… is the world's perception of 'Mask's' power and ruthlessness."

"According to you…"

Amadeus frowned, her gaze never leaving the evil spirit Mask standing not far away. After all, its speed was too fast, and a moment of carelessness could lead to a sudden attack like the one Saki Kawasaki suffered.

"We need to change the world's perception… No, that's too difficult. To be realistic, what we need to change is… our own perception of 'Mask'? We must believe that it is not invincible, that it can be defeated, in order to weaken its power? But that's too difficult…"

Wanting to reverse one's perception of something is not something that can be done in a short time, as Amadeus, with her knowledge of brain science, was well aware.

Yozora's strength was not a shallow impression left by one or two battles, but the absolute strength of someone who had never lost a single battle since the establishment of the Overload Society.

Haruka Doll Killer, Shuten-dōji, the Weather God, Izanami, Yaldabaoth…

Countless powerful enemies had ultimately been defeated by him.

Now, suddenly telling them to change their perception of "Mask," from unreservedly trusting him, believing that he possessed the power to solve all problems and save everything, to thinking that "Mask" was nothing special and could be destroyed?

How was that possible?

Just then, the hero appeared.

"All this rambling is giving me a headache. Isn't this a simple problem?"

Toma Kazusa pointed the tip of her Juzumaru Tsunetsugu sword at the evil spirit Mask standing there, narrowing her delicate eyes slightly, and said in a flat tone.

"Yozora is strong, not some 'Mask.' This guy, of course, can be destroyed."

Kazusa Toma's divine logic left everyone unsure of how to respond.

Thinking about it carefully…

It seemed that only Kazusa Toma's brain circuits, which ordinary people couldn't understand, were the optimal solution.

Because Kazusa Toma's past experiences were always seen as "the daughter of world-class pianist Yoko Toma" rather than "Kazusa Toma" herself, she never felt that Yozora and "Mask" were the same person. Yozora was Yozora. What did powerful strength, abstract personality, and immortal regenerative abilities have to do with "Mask"?

Of course, most normal people would probably find it difficult to understand Kazusa Toma's logic, unable to completely separate "Mask" from Yozora, but…

Among the people present, there was another abnormal one.

"An evil spirit born by imitating the image of 'Mask'? It really makes me want to laugh."

Although Yozora's current state was very poor, his voice still carried his usual relaxed smile, as if everything was under control.

"Precisely because I am human… I possess a soul, so… I possess such power. A mere evil spirit dares to challenge me?"

As soon as his voice fell, Yozora and the evil spirit Mask standing there disappeared at the same time. Even Yotsuya Miko, with her Hundred Eyes, could only barely make out the afterimages left by the two.

"Then let's begin."

"Bang!!!"

Yozora and the evil spirit Mask threw a punch at the same time, and the two fists collided. Under the collision of terrifying power, the surrounding ground instantly burst open.

"Chidori."

"Shield."

As lightning flashed in Yozora's hand, the evil spirit Mask also conjured a wide black shield, blocking in front of itself.

The lightning collided with the black shield, the blue lightning and the black mist colliding, and for a time, they were in a stalemate.

Seeing this, Yagami Light immediately fused with his Susanoo, holding the Kusanagi Sword, trying to attack the evil spirit Mask from another angle.

"Bang!"

What Yagami Light didn't expect was that as soon as he appeared in the position to launch an attack, the evil spirit Mask's dark eyes locked onto him, and in the other hand that wasn't holding the shield, a black spear appeared, directly throwing it at Yagami Light.

Fortunately, Yagami Light's reaction was relatively timely, and he immediately raised his Kusanagi Sword, barely blocking it when the black spear was about to pierce his chest, but the huge impact contained within it still sent his body flying backwards.

"Damn…"

Yagami Light reversed the tip of the Kusanagi Sword and inserted it into the ground, finally stopping after drawing a trace of tens of meters.

He looked down at the tiger's mouth that had already oozed blood, and then looked at the field where the evil spirit Mask and Yozora were fighting. He could only see flashes of lightning and black mist, and he couldn't see the actions of the two sides at all.

Yagami Light and the rest of the Overload Society members had already realized that they couldn't even participate in this level of battle, let alone help Yozora.

Not only could their eyes not keep up with the speed of Yozora and the evil spirit Mask, but even a tentative normal attack from either side required the Overload Society members to do their best to resist, otherwise they would be seriously injured or even die directly.

This was the purest numerical collision.

One side was Yozora, who had devoured tens of millions of powerful evil spirits in the Root of the Tokyo Reverse Side, but had consumed a lot of spiritual power and blood in order to clear the Root of the Kyoto City Reverse Side, and was now in a state where only a sliver of health remained.

The other side was the evil spirit Mask, who had only devoured the Root of the Osaka Reverse Side, equivalent to only one-tenth of the number of evil spirits devoured by Yozora, but was in a peak state.

At this point, it was no longer a battle between two independent individuals, but a battle representing humanity between Yozora and the last bizarre creature in this world capable of directly interfering with reality, determining the future.

"Come out."

Just then, Yozora suddenly retreated a few meters and summoned the Pale Ghost Hand, slapping it towards the evil spirit Mask.

The latter then said the same words in almost exactly the same tone.

"Come out."

The Evil God Izanami reappeared, colliding with Yozora's Pale Ghost Hand.

However, in the next second, the Pale Ghost Hand instantly grew into the form of a black and white headless monster, and the dark ghost hand directly reached out, grabbed Izanami, and crushed her directly. Then, the black mist that Izanami had transformed into was absorbed into Yozora's abdomen.

"Your taste…"

Yozora raised his hand and wiped his mouth. Although his voice was smiling, there was not a trace of a smile in his eyes as he looked at the evil spirit Mask.

"It's really not bad."

Just then, Yotsuya Miko noticed something was wrong. The color of her eyes kept changing, finally settling on her original golden hue, locking onto the left chest area of the evil spirit.

"Yozora, that guy's left chest area… has your aura!"

At this point, Yotsuya Miko didn't care how embarrassing her words sounded. Besides, among the members of the Supernatural Research Society present, except for Hiratsuka Shizuka, Minamikata Nitsuru, and Amadeus, weren't they all familiar with Yozora's spiritual aura, just like her? After all, they had swallowed it so many times.

"My aura… so that's how it is…"

Yozora's gaze locked onto the left chest of the evil spirit's mask, the location of a human heart.

"Your power not only comes from the world's perception but also directly from my flesh and blood…"

Speaking of which, Yozora suddenly changed his tone, staring directly into the dark eyes of the evil spirit's mask.

"But humans aren't creatures simply pieced together with so-called flesh and blood."

"Let me show you the power that only beings with souls can obtain."

"Tear through the disguise, Hone-Onna."

Before Futaba Rio and her soul's true form, Hone-Onna, could react in shock, Hone-Onna's figure appeared behind Yozora.

"That's… me?"

Pale white bone spurs rose from the ground. Seeing this, the evil spirit mask quickly retreated, but Yozora's offensive was far from over.

With a flash, Yozora suddenly appeared behind the evil spirit mask, a snake tail phantom emerging behind him.

"Pursue obsession, Kiyohime."

"Bang!"

The snake tail phantom struck the evil spirit mask, knocking it back directly, while the pale white bone spurs extending from the ground pierced its abdomen, instantly growing many tiny bone barbs on the surface, sinking into the evil spirit mask's body.

"Suzuhikohime, Senhime, Kinnara!"

Immediately following, Yozora summoned the soul's true forms belonging to Sakurajima Mai, Ogiso Setsuna, and Touma Kazusa respectively, all of which were mental interference types, and activated their corresponding soul materialization abilities.

The evil spirit mask's movements became somewhat sluggish, but it still stubbornly tore its own body apart, breaking free from the bone spur's restraints.

The next second, Yozora, who was originally ten meters away, suddenly appeared in front of it.

"Fusion, Hienma."

Having fused with Hienma, Yozora's speed was even faster than before. The evil spirit mask only had time to raise its arms and didn't even summon its black shield before taking a direct punch.

Just as it stared at Yozora's face with its black eyes, planning to launch a counterattack…

"Yuki-Onna, Higanbana, Kaguya-hime."

Eerie red flowers bloomed around the evil spirit mask, accompanied by bursts of icy, bone-chilling wind. When it met Yozora's eyes, which had changed from black to red, its body instantly stiffened, and all it could do was condense a heart-protecting mirror of black mist over its left chest.

But Yozora had long anticipated its death throes, so he saved his strongest offensive until now.

"Hiyoribou, Mitsu no Kami, Robin Hood."

Lightning and golden spiritual power converged on the arrow held by Yozora. At the same time, Touma Kazusa's Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, Yotsuya Miko's Mikazuki Munechika, Shinomiya Kaguya's Dojigiri Yasutsuna, and Yagami Light's Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi automatically flew out as if summoned by Onimaru Kunitsuna, surrounding the arrow in Yozora's hand.

"This is what will end all the eerie…"

Yozora used all his strength to throw the arrow in his hand towards the evil spirit mask's heart.

"Yaoyorozu Jin Tsui En."

"Boom! ! !"

When the arrow and the five famous swords made contact with the evil spirit mask, the collision of spiritual power and black mist caused the earth to tremble.

When the black mist finally dissipated, the members of the Supernatural Research Society looked up and saw a black heart with dark red纹路 floating and pulsating in the place where the evil spirit mask had stood.

"Bang."

Yozora reached out and grabbed the heart, crushing it without hesitation.

"Yozora!"

Seeing the dark heart turn into a cloud of black mist tinged with blood red and being absorbed into Yozora's stomach, Sakurajima Mai, who was the first to react, hurried forward, asking with concern and worry.

"Are you okay? Did you lose your ability?"

Yozora didn't answer directly but reached out his hands, conjuring a black suona, then said with a smile.

"It seems that even if the entire Reverse World disappears, we won't lose our abilities. That's great, it'll be much more convenient to play the suona in the future."

Sakurajima Mai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then complained with a wry smile.

"You… clearly possess the power to destroy or rule this world, but… you only think about using this power to make suonas? I really don't know what to say."

"I'm not very interested in ruling or destroying the world."

Yozora shrugged, reached out and pinched Sakurajima Mai's fair cheek, looking at her shy and coquettish appearance, and said with a smile.

"I'm not the God of Ruling or Destruction, but…"

"God of Harem."

Chapter 571 Yozora's grand goal, the old exorcist combination

Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing this, coaxing him in a tone as if she was哄 a child.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the strongest exorcist and the God of Harem, okay?"

"You didn't recite it all."

Hearing Yozora's words, everyone knew what he was going to say next.

"Standing before you now is the strongest professional exorcist in history, Kyoto's number one eroge shooter, God of Harem, Sakura Province's top scorer in the joint college entrance examination, the Soubu High Great Demon King who defeated all rivals in the Shuuchin Academy, founder of the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society, future heir to the Yukinoshita Construction Company, the one who plays the suona, a master musician of red and white affairs, the savior of beautiful girls, the nemesis of love triangles, the top player who achieved the only perfect ending in White Album 2, the one who knows the name of the flower we saw that day, the mentor of the current commander of the Shinomiya family, the hero who destroyed the conspiracy of the future timeline, the savior of the genius scientific research girl, the savior of the Yanagihara Shrine, the trickster who saved the desires of all mankind, the savior of Itomori Town, the one who weaves the red threads of fate for shrine maidens, the one who shapes the voice, the end of all eeriness, the one who tamed Tamamo-no-Mae and Hachishakusama, the manipulator, Yozora, Master Yo."

Hearing this series of titles, Futaba Rio took out her glasses, wiped them, and put them back on before curling her lips.

"Why do I feel like your titles have increased again?"

Yozora replied with a solemn expression.

"That's because my life hasn't stagnated but has been moving forward all the time!"

"Your chunibyo is starting again, isn't it?"

Futaba Rio sighed slightly. For some reason, she suddenly recalled the time when Yozora came to her with that chunibyo setting collection to ask for advice, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

"By the way, what you just said, what is the power that only those with souls possess, and not evil spirits? Could it be… the ability to use our soul materializations?"

"Yes, but also no."
