Abnormal Moon

But Tono Shiki didn't expect that she would admit it so calmly.

"The deal with Roy took effect the moment I signed the contract with him last night. From now on, Tokyo will follow his lead. As a result of the deal, he helped me 'revive' my brother and also strengthened your physique. It is said that you can now kill a bull with one punch. Isn't that great? Your eyes match his perfectly."

This is indeed very good.

Shiki Tohno's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception grant him the superpower to kill any living being with a single blow.

The only condition is that you must touch the opponent's dead line or dead point. As long as you draw along the dead line and poke the dead point, you can ignore the opponent's defense or regeneration ability and defeat the opponent in one blow.

His biggest flaw is his poor physical condition. His terrible athletic ability is a complete mismatch with those demonic eyes. Even if he aims his sword at the opponent's death line, his speed is too slow to even touch the opponent, making it useless.

But with the enhancements Roy helped him with this time, his combat ability has increased dramatically. Now, even if he faces a cursed spirit like a real person alone, he has a good chance of killing it head-on.

"Does he have any other requests?"

"Nothing."

Tono Akiha shook her head.

But then she remembered something else.

"No, there is one more request. He wants two squad leaders from the guard team."

Although the two were outstanding as soldiers, they were refugees after all, lacked magical talent, and were not considered core talents of Tokyo.

Therefore, Tono Akiha gave the two squad leaders of the guard team to Roy.

"What about others?"

"He left early this morning."

Tono Shiki was speechless.

He wasn't really in favor of handing Tokyo over to Roy.

From any perspective, he did not think Roy would be a benevolent ruler.

However, he was the main beneficiary of the deal, and his conscience had also tipped towards agreeing to the deal, so even if he had a thousand words to say, he couldn't voice his concerns.

Doing that would make him feel like he has to have it all, that he's being too greedy, and that he would hate himself for it.

In such a cruel world, greed itself is the key to death.

However, I still don't feel very good.

If Tokyo becomes a discarded pawn in the future, then Tono Shiki will be the biggest sinner.

Although it was only a short period of contact, he felt that given Roy's character, it wasn't impossible that such a possibility existed.

Rather than saving as many people as possible, Roy's approach is closer to eliminating the enemy as much as possible.

If the two conflict, on the scales of choice, he will undoubtedly prioritize his own goal.

"Tono-kun, you're awake! I made you some porridge!"

Just as Tono Shiki was falling into depression, a cheerful voice came from outside the door.

A brown-haired girl with pigtails carefully carried a steaming pot into the room and was pleasantly surprised to see Tono Shiki getting out of bed looking incredibly healthy.

"Yuzuka-kun?"

Upon seeing the girl enter the room, Tono Shiki was terrified, his mouth involuntarily agape, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"It was a free gift with the deal, that's what the person said."

Tono Akiha, speaking in Roy's voice, reveals the reason why Yumizuka Satsuki is here.

Last night, after discovering that he could break the spell on real people, Roy turned all the cyborgs he could find back to their original appearance.

That being said, the only cyborgs still alive are Waver and Yumizuka Satsuki, who were unconsciously thrown out by the real humans. The other cyborgs were either killed by the guards or turned into javelins and thrown far away by the real humans, and can not be found at all.

Yumizuka Satsuki was really lucky. It had only been two days since she was modified, and her body cells still remembered what she looked like before. Roy used his power of body modification to stimulate the memory ability of the cells and saved her in no time.

As for this incident, especially the various modifications she underwent by a real person, whether it will leave her with psychological trauma is not something Roy cares about.

"Brother, you don't need to put pressure on yourself."

Tono Akiha glanced at Tono Shiki.

Although he didn't say anything, she could always see what he was thinking.

"I agreed to this deal after careful consideration."

“That guy named Roy is definitely not a good person. Even if he seems kind on the surface, it’s just a facade he puts on to deceive people… But I think if we really want the world to return to what it used to be, perhaps only someone like him can do it.”

Tono Shiki looked at Yumizuka Satsuki, who was listening to their conversation with a blank expression, and after a long while, he let out a deep breath.

"...Perhaps you are right."

Chapter 322 Belief in Retribution

Outside Tokyo.

A jet-black SUV was driving through the wilderness, its heavy tires rolling over mountains, rocks, and even the remains of monsters, making its way smoothly westward across the land.

A flying spirit resembling a jet plane swept across the sky, its radar-like eyes locking onto the SUV on the ground.

This cursed spirit has little intelligence.

It didn't know what kind of fierce person dared to drive recklessly in the wild; it only knew that the person sitting inside was human. As soon as it knew this, murderous intent boiled in its mind.

"Eeya eeya ya!"

The cursed spirit screamed, emitting a piercing sonic wave like a bat scouting its way, and swooped down towards the off-road vehicle below.

"Squeak!"

However, to its surprise, the SUV that was driving smoothly suddenly braked and stopped, causing it to slow down and hesitate in place.

After the SUV braked suddenly to a stop, the door opened and two figures stepped out.

No, it should be said that one person carried another person out.

"Please! Please! I'm willing to be punished. Lock me up. I'm willing to live in prison for the rest of my life. Even if I did something wrong, shouldn't I be tried according to the criminal law? Who are you to use vigilante justice! I was only forced into this situation. I've never hurt anyone before. I should have the right to reform. Japan doesn't have the death penalty—"

The person being dragged struggled frantically, clinging to the car door and refusing to get out, pleading for mercy with a look of panic on their face.

His appearance, with tears streaming down his face, was extremely pathetic.

His words were a mix of humble pleas for mercy and condemnations of the abuse of the death penalty, as if a prisoner facing execution were suddenly spitting out everything he wanted to say, saying whatever came to mind.

“Criminal law has indeed made a great contribution to social peace, and I admire law enforcement officers, but I don’t really believe in criminal law—it’s too weak.”

Roy didn't even need to use any force to pull the man off the car door.

"I believe more in karma—that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished."

"If you make a mistake that puts someone in danger, shouldn't you be the one to repeat the same mistake? That's only fair, isn't it?"

"But that woman is fine now!"

"So you can pray all you want that someone will save you like I saved Nino. I didn't take away your right to pray, did I?"

Roy gently pushed the tailball into the air.

"Speaking of which, this guy even caused two magic apprentices to be transformed by real people, didn't he? Mistake, we should have turned him into a lump of flesh and thrown him out too."

"Yahahahah!!"

A piercing scream rang out.

Then it came to an abrupt end.

The cursed spirit hovering in the sky rushed over without thinking when it saw its prey flying towards it, biting Oomaru in one bite, ignoring his screams, chewing him up and swallowing him whole.

After eating one of its prey, the cursed spirit paused.

His brutal eyes darted downwards, a greedy glint in them.

The man who threw the prey out didn't look at him; he turned and got into the SUV.

"Consider this revenge for you."

Roy got into the driver's seat and said this to Nakano Nino, who was sitting in the back.

"Is there anything you're unhappy about? Even if you are, there's no way to get revenge."

"No, of course not, it would be best if that kind of scum died!"

Nino Nakano's face turned a little pale, but she clapped and cheered without hesitation.

"I must thank Lord Roy for avenging me."

"I...I think so too..."

Nakano Satsuki's face was even paler than Nino's, and it was clear that she was suppressing her inner panic, but she was still trying to nod.

Their expressions were rather unpleasant.

It wasn't that they had any objection to Roy's methods, but witnessing someone being eaten by a cursed spirit right before their eyes was too much of a visual shock for them; they had almost never seen such a scene before.

As for being soft-hearted, the thought of that bastard pushing Nino out as a shield before hardens even the softest heart.

Living in such a world, it's time to change outdated mindsets.
