Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

Realizing that this was a sign that reality was being rewritten, he stepped up his efforts.

As the flames of the heart were quickly consumed, the strange phenomena in the room gradually stabilized.

The surface of the room appears to have remained largely unchanged, save for some mysterious patterns as decoration.

But Mitsui Tsubasa could feel that this place had become his palace!

It was an indescribable wonderful feeling. Even with his eyes closed, he could still clearly perceive everything in this area.

As long as he thought about it, the sofa not far away would immediately float up and hang upside down on the ceiling;

The tea in the cup also transformed into a miniature dragon, swimming freely and happily in the room.

In this exclusive field, all his ideas can be quickly turned into reality!

Even better, the rate at which the Heart Flame was consumed once again exceeded its rate of growth, and he finally found a way to solve this problem.

Mitsui Tsubasa breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the tiny pedestrians in the distance again, and then raised his eyes higher and higher, looking towards the clear blue sky.

"This world is so beautiful... From today on it will belong completely to me!"

He raised his right hand and raised it high toward the sky.

The pillar of fire hovering on the top of Huiye Building trembled violently, accelerated suddenly at his call, and returned to his hands.

Concentrating all his attention and discarding all distractions, he concentrated on compressing the giant pillar of fire.

Slowly, the more than ten-meter-long column of fire gradually shortened, but the pressure and flames contained in it became stronger and stronger.

With the help of the inexhaustible heart flame accumulated by the First Emperor, he successfully compressed the flame column to the size of a long sword.

There was a gleam of joy in Mitsui Tsubasa's golden eyes as he looked at the unparalleled sword in his hand... To be precise, this was actually a super-condensed demon seed of desire!

With the help of countless heart flames, he successfully created this artifact and infused it with his understanding of his ideal palace.

Mitsui Tsubasa took a deep breath, walked back to the center of the living room, held the sword upside down, and pointed the tip of the sword at the floor under his feet.

"With my endless desire as the foundation and my real existence as the witness, I hereby declare - the palace opens!!!"

The pitch-black sword carried a tremendous force as it stabbed into the floor without even a handle.

It was as if a real black shock wave erupted from this point.

With Huiye Building as the center, a terrifying black ring instantly spread out. Wherever it passed, even space was easily distorted.

Mysterious patterns with a black background and gold edges appeared on houses, streets, trees, and vehicles.

Chapter 263: Son of Man, Become a God!

The horrific shock wave swept through, and people nearby were the first to be affected.

The look of astonishment stayed on their faces for a moment, and then was interrupted by screams one after another.

“Hiss…! It hurts, it hurts, my head hurts so much!”

The young woman who was filming the video screamed and held her head tightly with both hands. Her phone fell to the ground unconsciously with a bang, but no one cared.

Not far from her, a woman with a child was in so much pain that she couldn't straighten her back, and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Next to her, a child who looked no older than an elementary school student rolled on the ground in pain, crying, "It hurts so much... Mommy, Mommy..."

With Mitsui Tsubasa as the center, everyone within a one-kilometer radius was affected by the sudden severe headache and cried and wailed involuntarily.

People's eyes were filled with deep fear, and all actions were forced to stop.

On the road, all kinds of cars collided with each other, and the drivers were in so much pain that they couldn't think, which triggered a chain reaction of tragic car accidents.

Chefs, doctors, construction workers...people who were working were also severely injured, and safety accidents occurred one after another.

Within the range affected by the shock wave, normal social order collapsed instantly.

People could not understand what was happening and could only watch the people around them fall into pain. To them, this sudden black shock wave was undoubtedly a horrific disaster.

Even those with the strongest minds could only take out their phones and tremble to call for emergency help. However, due to the severe headache, they could not speak clearly and could not explain what happened.

All of a sudden, police stations, fire stations, and hospitals across Tokyo received a large number of calls for help from the public. The operators were so frightened that they almost thought a major natural disaster had occurred in Roppongi.

The instigator of all this, Mitsui Tsubasa, closed his eyes slightly, with a crazy and infatuated smile on his face.

"Fantastic!"

“This is the palace!!”

"I am the only master here, everything in this area is my property!!!"

His spirit entered an indescribable mysterious realm. He felt his soul rising higher and higher, looking down from the sky at the palace that belonged to him.

In this realm, tiny humans flicker like fireflies.

Mitsui Tsubasa can "see" their experiences, perceive their thoughts, and even see into their souls!

Those humans lost their form in his eyes, like human torches, emitting beautiful light that was bright or dark, pure or dirty.

That was the color of the soul, the human consciousness constructed by desire and emotion - it made him so fascinated, so... hungry!

"I'm so hungry... I don't have enough Heart Flame..."

The mumblings from Mitsui Tsubasa's mouth were enough to drive ordinary people insane. His all-seeing gaze turned to Wumen and saw the dwindling flame of his heart.

The flames that the First Emperor had accumulated by burning shadows for more than a month were used up all at once.

What's even more regrettable is that this palace created in the real world is only one kilometer in size, which is far from being enough to rule the world...

Just as he was thinking deeply, he suddenly noticed an inharmonious area in the field.

He slightly opened his eyes that were shining with brilliant golden light, and his golden gaze shot out like a sharp sword, with the light stretching for several feet.

As far as the eye can see is the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

There, there was a white-haired old man with a strange appearance, sitting in mid-air on an ancient and majestic chair, looking at him with an inexplicable expression.

After noticing his gaze, the mysterious old man gave a strange smile and clapped his hands gently.

"Sbarasi! My young fellow, you have finally embarked on the path of destiny. It is so wonderful!"

Mitsui Tsubasa stared at his pointed ears, which were very different from those of humans, and his long nose, which could kill people, and said with a gloomy expression: "Yaldabait..."

"Yes, I have been looking forward to this formal meeting for a long time." Yaldabet spread out his palms and made a greeting gesture to him. "As early as the first time you entered the impression space, I noticed your unique soul. It's just... I was busy at that time, so this meeting was delayed for so long."

Seeing that He directly acknowledged his identity, Mitsui Tsubasa's heart sank.

"The real 'Igor' has indeed failed... "

"What Yaldabait is busy with might actually be fighting Igor."

The one who now appeared before him was undoubtedly the real mastermind and ultimate villain in the original work—the false god Yaldabaoth.

He also has the title of ruling God.

But His attitude towards Him... was a little too friendly. It was totally different from the arrogant attitude He had towards JOKER.

Although the positions of both parties are completely conflicting, since they haven't fallen out yet, let's try to obtain as much information as possible.

Mitsui Tsubasa's eyes sank slightly, and his figure flashed across a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of Yaldabaoth.

His tall and majestic figure stood in the air, looking down at Him condescendingly.

In this realm created by him, he has no fear even when facing gods.

"You said we are of the same race, what does that mean?"

Yaldabait looked at him with interest and explained slowly, "It's very simple. I am a god, and you are also a god in the process of transformation. You and I are truly of the same race. This innate talent distinguishes you from those boring humans, and you are destined to embark on this path to becoming a god."

"Talent?" Mitsui Tsubasa paused, his expression very complicated. "I have come this far by my unyielding efforts. How come you say it's a bloodline theory?"

"Hehehe...it's not about bloodline, it's about soul and cognition."

Yaldabaoth waved his hand gently, staring at him with his bulging eyes, as if admiring that beautiful soul.

"There are many arrogant people, and there are many types of arrogance. However, the arrogance of those who see themselves as leaders, the arrogance of those who think they are gifted, and the arrogance of those insignificant humans are completely different from your arrogance... the arrogance of seeing yourself as the only truth and denying the world."

"Your arrogance has already reached the level of a god. That's why you can harness this power and accomplish feats that no mortal can achieve."

He paused, and then sang in a high-pitched aria: "Son of man, become a god!"

"Becoming a god——!?"

Mitsui Tsubasa's pupils shrank and his heartbeat like a drum suddenly accelerated, causing cracks in the glass behind him.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved... He really wanted to become that immortal, omnipotent god!

But...is Yaldabaoth so kind?

Chapter 264: Mitsui Tsubasa: I have formed a bond with the false god, and He is holding the Eternal Tribulation Card?

"what do you want?"

Mitsui Tsubasa tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and looked at Him with caution.

Yaldabet crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I don't want to interfere with your choice... I just want to witness it."

"I used to think that humans were imperfect and would eventually destroy the world due to their own ignorance. Until I saw you - my young fellow. You were born as a son of man, but transformed into a god. This is a path I had never imagined. I just wanted to see...your possibilities."

The white-haired old man stared at Mitsui Tsubasa with his weathered eyes. Although there was no terrifying aura emanating from him, there was a sense of oppression emanating from him. The whole city seemed to have become quiet at this moment.

Hearing His words, Mitsui Tsubasa frowned, as if he was pondering over something. After a long while, he questioned, "If that's the case, why did you persuade the First Emperor to betray me, and then use the steps of the present world to trap me in the memory space?"

“Haha.” Yaldabaoth laughed dryly. “That was just a test. The road to becoming a god is full of twists and turns. If you can’t even pass a test of this level, then you are nothing more than this.”

"As for your personality mask... As a god, you can have an 'incarnation', but it is best not to differentiate into a new personality or consciousness. That is very dangerous. This is my advice to you."

After saying this, he was silent for a while, and his sharp, narrow, claw-like fingers tapped on the back of his hand, making a light "da da da" sound like tapping on metal.

After a moment, He seemed to have made up His mind and said, "You should have learned some skills of God from the Personality Mask, but they are all superficial things. As a reward for your coming to the world on your own, I will teach you some profound mysteries."

His figure did not move, and a hazy red light spread from his body, condensing into mysterious runes in the air.

Originally, Mitsui Tsubasa did not recognize that kind of characters, but when they appeared in the field, he understood the meaning contained in them without any instruction.

There is a vast amount of knowledge contained in just a few dozen lines of short sentences. He only inadvertently accepted a little bit of it, but his understanding of cognitive science advanced by leaps and bounds and benefited a lot.

He had a vague understanding in his heart that these were all the divine knowledge that Yaldabaoth had comprehended after countless epochs, and just a little bit of it would be enough to drive those true mystics crazy.

But now, He generously shares this knowledge, which even contains the secrets of becoming a god.

This gift was too generous, which made Mitsui Tsubasa feel alarmed and he quietly became more vigilant.

Suspicious... Too suspicious... Yaldabaoth is not his biological father, so he must have other intentions for being so nice to him.

Looking at the precious knowledge in front of him, Mitsui Tsubasa hesitated for a moment, frozen in place like a statue.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

Yaldabaoth sat leisurely on the throne, his alien eyes revealing a look of watching a good show.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Mitsui Tsubasa actually saw a look of expectation in his eyes.

This is absolutely ridiculous…

However, the next scene was even more shocking, causing an impact on his mind that was like "the act of founding a nation."

The strong call from the bottom of my heart suddenly emerged and overflowed!

【I am you...you are me...】

【Here you gain the resonance of a new desire. 】

【Resonance is about breaking free from fate and seeking the crown of domination. 】

[I, the Mask of Eternal Calamity, was born and bathed in the most holy glory.]

[Add more help to conquer the mortal world...]

Four bright red crystal chains that looked like blood suddenly materialized.

Then it touched his limbs calmly, with no signs of entanglement or close connection.

Mitsui Tsubasa could not feel any emotion from these chains, as if they were really just some lifeless dead objects.

This obviously contradicts his previous understanding.
