Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The snake-tail phantom behind Yui Yuigahama lashed out, directly sending the golem spirit formed by the sunny-doll killer flying. She stared at the imposter Mask standing there, her tone firm.

“We’re a team that’s never lost before. Even if Yozora isn’t here, there’s absolutely no way we can lose!”

“Saki, go!”

Saki Kawasaki, who was already poised and ready, her golden longbow drawn taut with an arrow, nodded upon hearing this, locking onto the imposter Mask standing there, and said in an icy tone.

“Vanish.”

The golden spiritual power arrow tore through the sky, shooting towards the imposter Mask standing there.

Faced with Mizen’s full-force attack, a black flame, as if materialized, suddenly surged within the Mask's jet-black eyes.

“Unlimited Blade Works.”

A black comet collided with the golden arrow in the air, stirring up a burst of spiritual power. At the same time, the entire sky began to dim.

Within the clouds, thousands upon thousands of pure black weapons appeared, all their sharp edges pointing towards the Overload Club members on the ground.

“That’s… Yozora’s Unlimited Blade Works…”

Seeing this scene, even Yotsuya Miko, the strongest member present and recognized as the second-in-command by Onimaru Kunitsuna, couldn't help but freeze.

As the first to awaken as a psychic within the Overload Club, she knew better than anyone just how powerful this move was.

This imposter Mask… is actually able to use Yozora’s move!?

“Pandora!”

With Riko Futaba absent from the battle, among the Overload Club members present, only Amadeus’s soul manifestation, Pandora, possessed the possibility of defending against an attack of this level. At this moment, she unhesitatingly summoned her true Soul Incarnation. The metallic coffin bloomed with seven-colored light, forming a shield-like barrier, enveloping the Overload Club members overhead.

The imposter Mask raised its right hand high. At this moment, the world seemed to freeze.

The next second, all the black weapons in the sky, like a torrential rain, instantly poured down onto the ground.

“BOOM!!!!!”

Amadeus gritted her teeth, doing everything she could to maintain the seven-colored spiritual power barrier, but under the continuous impact of the black weapons, she only managed to hold on for less than five seconds before she could no longer persevere.

“Bang!!”

A cloud of dust billowed up from the ground, and the ground within a radius of several kilometers began to tremble.

When the dust dissipated, a massive white fox, stained with blood, had transformed into a giant form. Many wounds had appeared on its body surface, and an eight-foot tall figure with a blood hole pierced through its abdomen, as well as a golden goat head whose form had become incomparably dim, looking as if it was about to dissipate, appeared in the field.

“Tamamo-no-Mae… Hachi-shaku….”

Because Tamamo-no-Mae and Hachi-shaku-sama acted as meat shields, the Overload Club members were not injured. It’s just that…

“Thud.”

Hachi-shaku-sama, Tamamo-no-Mae, and the golden goat head fell to the ground at the same time.

“We’re fine…”

Noticing the anxious expressions of the Overload Club members, Tamamo-no-Mae, whose body was gradually shrinking, returning to human form, waved her hand, forcing herself to speak.

“Be careful…”

Seeing that Tamamo-no-Mae, Hachi-shaku-sama, and the golden goat head, although all suffered extremely serious injuries, but because they were spirits, as long as they were not completely annihilated, no matter how serious the injuries were, they could gradually recover, and there would be no risk of dissipating, Amadeus breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the imposter Mask standing there, motionless, just quietly observing everyone, and couldn't help but lightly bite her silver teeth.

“As expected… this guy’s power… is completely different from ordinary spirits… This guy… probably devoured all the spirits in the root of the Reverse Side of Osaka, equivalent to a Gu King cultivated by raising Gu…”

“How could there be such a thing…”

Hearing Amadeus’s words, the other Overload Club members finally understood why it was that, despite being just an imposter, it could possess such power, even making them feel the kind of suffocating pressure they had felt when sparring with Yozora on Nichito Island.

The spirit with the image of “Mask” in front of them had obviously inherited “Mask,” that is, Yozora’s desire to devour all spirits, and had also used this to increase its power.

In other words…

What they seemed to be facing was just the imposter Mask, but in reality, the other party’s power was the collective of all the spirits in the root of Osaka's Reverse Side.

Although it had just used a move of the level of Unlimited Blade Works, the imposter Mask’s power did not seem to be exhausted as a result.

It raised its hand again, and black weapons reappeared in the sky.

“Is this the end…”

Just as the Overload Club members were looking at each other, everyone, including Kuchisake-onna, Massacre Demon, and Enmusubi, these non-human members, had made up their minds, thinking that even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they would do their best to delay the imposter Mask’s advance, buying time for Yozora, who was clearing the root of Kyoto’s Reverse Side, a familiar, smiling voice came from not far behind.

“Children, I have returned from hell.”

“Yozora?”

Upon hearing Yozora’s voice, everyone first breathed a sigh of relief, then turned their heads and saw the other party’s appearance at this time, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

“You…”

Yozora at this time could be described as very disheveled. The black casual clothes and coat he was wearing had multiple tears and were stained with large patches of blood. Even the black ends of his hair were dripping with bright red blood, as if he had just crawled out of a sea of blood.

Although he had a smile on his face, because his face was covered in blood, coupled with the fact that his walking steps were somewhat erratic, anyone could see that Yozora’s condition at this moment was not very good, even it could be said that it was very bad, already on the verge of exhaustion.

Seeing this, the Overload Club members couldn't help but show a look of heartache and unbearableness.

They knew why Yozora had become like this, and why this time he was able to destroy more than one million spirits in the root of Kyoto’s Reverse Side in less than an hour.

The ultimate spiritual object that can fight against the bizarre and annihilate all spirits…

Is Yozora himself.

Just as Yozora wanted to devour spirits, his flesh and blood were completely irresistible to spirits.

After devouring all the spirits in the root of Tokyo’s Reverse Side, even if it was just a drop of Yozora’s blood, or even the power contained in blood that had been diluted by one-tenth or even one-hundredth, it was absolutely unbearable for any spirit.

Simply put…

Yozora used his own blood to create a scene covering the entire city in the root of Kyoto’s Reverse Side…

Blood rain.

Those spirits who, because of their instinct as spirits, devoured his blood… would die instantly.

This was the Overload Club’s original method for sweeping away the spirits in the roots of Kyoto and Osaka.

The original plan was to spend ten days, or even several months, in the Root Territory, allowing Yae Star to alternate between using his blood to create blood rain and devouring evil spirits to recover. This would ensure that he wouldn't expend too much power and wouldn't be in any life-threatening danger.

However, due to the changes in the Root Territory of the Kyoto Otherworld, and considering the potential dangers in the real world, Yae Star had to eliminate all the evil spirits in the Root Territory as quickly as possible.

Using his own blood to create a blood rain capable of covering the entire city of Kyoto, with a blood concentration sufficient to kill every single evil spirit within it, and without any time to devour evil spirits to recover, was an excessive strain, even for Yae Star.

"Yae Star..."

Toma and Saya stubbornly stood up, unhesitatingly blocking Yae Star's path, aiming the Juzumaru Tsunetsugu in their hands at the imposter standing not far away, clenching their silver teeth as they spoke.

"In your current state, you can't defeat this guy... We'll buy you time. You need to leave here quickly. As long as you devour evil spirits and recover your power, you'll be able to eliminate this guy... Our sacrifice will be worth it..."

Saying this, Toma and Saya noticed that Yae Star didn't respond, and their tone became more intense.

"Go! Hurry! This is the only way... Survive. You must survive..."

"Saya."

Yae Star suddenly interrupted Toma and Saya, gently patted her shoulder, and then, with bloodstained figure and slow but determined steps, walked towards the imposter standing there, speaking with a smiling voice.

"A hero doesn't run away in the face of battle."

Yae Star slowly walked in front of everyone, with less than ten meters separating him from the imposter.

He looked at the imposter standing there, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

"Imposter, you disgust me."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the last remaining evil spirit from the Root Territory of the Osaka Otherworld, which is... the final 'treasure'."

Saying this, Yae Star reached out his right hand to his side, and the Onimaru Kunitsuna, originally in Yotsuya Miko's hand, instantly flew over.

Yae Star stared straight at the imposter's pair of pure black eyes, a burning black flame surged from his body, all the bloodstains disappeared, and even his clothes automatically repaired themselves.

"As long as I eliminate you here, the strangeness of this world will come to an end."

"And I am the one who will end all strangeness."

Saying this, Yae Star paused for a moment, and then softly recited the long-unspoken release phrase.

"Extinguish evil, the end of eight million."

"Yae Star has regained all of his power!?"

Hearing Yae Star's release phrase, the Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and Yotsuya Miko clenched her fists, shouting in a rare excited tone.

"Yae Star... you must win!"

"That's only natural."

Yae Star smiled and nodded, a black flame surging from the blade of the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his hand.

"Because I am the strongest exorcist."

The evil spirit imposter on the opposite side felt the spiritual power fluctuations erupting from Yae Star's body, and seemed to be stimulated as well, raising its right hand and reciting in an emotionless, cold tone.

"Unlimited Blade..."

"Bang!!!"

Before it could finish the last word, Yae Star had already flashed in front of it, directly throwing a punch, forcibly interrupting the evil spirit imposter's spellcasting. Watching the evil spirit imposter being sent flying into the air by his punch, he quickly stretched out his left hand.

"Unlimited Blade Works!"

Chapter 570: The End of Eight Million

Hundreds of black weapons reappeared in the sky, but this time, the targets of these weapons were not the Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members on the ground, but the evil spirit imposter who had been sent flying into the air by Yae Star's punch.

"Chains."

In the instant before Unlimited Blade Works could lock onto itself, a black chain reappeared in the evil spirit imposter's hand, like a spiritual snake, directly wrapping around Yae Star's body.

"Clang!!!"

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, and Yae Star's alter ego, Yagami Tsuki, with wings on his back, directly swung the Kusanagi Sword, knocking down the chain swung by the evil spirit imposter halfway.

The other Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members also stubbornly stood up. Although they had all suffered damage from the shockwaves caused by the evil spirit imposter's earlier Unlimited Blade Works, for them, whose physical qualities far exceeded those of ordinary people, it was at most just dizziness and nausea, and not enough to directly lose their ability to fight.

Moreover... not all of the Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members were injured. There was also a veteran member with extremely strong combat power who had just arrived with Yae Star, so their condition could be said to be at its peak.

"Domain Expansion..."

Futaba Rio took off her glasses, tied her gray long curly hair into a high ponytail for ease of combat with a hair tie, looked at the evil spirit imposter in the air, and slowly spoke.

"Bone Prison."

"Domain Expansion, Sunny Rain!"

At the same time that the Bone Prison created by Futaba Rio extended towards the evil spirit imposter's location, Amano Hina quickly deployed her own domain, and thick clouds instantly gathered in the sky, with lightning flashing within.

Futaba Rio handles the control, and a member with strong attack power handles the finishing blow. This can be considered a classic combination technique of the Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency.

Kawasaki Saki, who had just shot an arrow with all her strength, was unable to condense a second arrow with spiritual power in a short period of time, so she could only let Amano Hina, who could summon lightning, be responsible for the final blow to the enemy.

Lightning fell from the sky.

Hundreds of black weapons condensed from the power of evil spirits locked onto the evil spirit imposter, and the pale white bone prison firmly trapped its body.

"Boom!!!"

Yae Star's Unlimited Blade Works and the dozens of lightning strikes summoned by Amano Hina landed on the evil spirit imposter in the air almost simultaneously.

"Did it succeed?"

Hearing Futaba Rio's question, Yotsuya Miko did not avoid her gaze because of the blinding white light caused by the lightning like the other Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members, but stared straight at the blinding white light with her dark green eyes, frowning tightly as she said.

"No, not yet."

When the light disappeared, everyone saw the evil spirit imposter's body land on the ground again, with a layer of wriggling black mist appearing on the surface of its body. In just a few breaths, the injuries it had sustained were completely healed.

"This guy... could it be that he also possesses the same recovery power as Yae Star...?"

At this moment, the Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members once again deeply realized just how powerful Yae Star's abilities were.

Just a copy of his basic stats, the ability to create weapons with the power of evil spirits, and a degraded version of his recovery power, were enough to make everyone feel helpless, not knowing what kind of method to use to eliminate the opponent.

"Wait a minute..."

Just then, Futaba Rio suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and murmured as she looked at the Hypernatural Disaster Prevention Agency members present.

"Could it be... that what's giving this guy this recovery power... is actually us?"
