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

If he agrees, then he can pass the level and become a god easily...

However, there is a small problem:

"This world belongs to me! Everything belongs only to me! I won't share it with anyone else!!"

As he roared, endless flames gushed out of his body and attacked Yaldabaoth like a volcanic eruption.

The invisible and formless black flame underwent new changes due to excessive condensation, becoming as viscous as liquid.

In mid-air, torrents of lava raged wildly, melting the space into a distorted illusion.

However, Yaldabaoth was an old god after all. Facing the scene of the sea of ​​hellfire, he simply tapped his fingers twice and blocked all attacks several meters away.

The bright red silk threads that had been seen on the First Emperor and the Wumen appeared out of thin air, weaving into a seemingly weak yet indestructible barrier.

Yaldabaoth sat motionless on the throne and smiled faintly: "In the face of the good intentions of the gods, you gave such an answer... You are really as expected - arrogant!"

"But have you ever heard this saying - a gift from an elder cannot be refused!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, and Mitsui Tsubasa immediately felt that the souls of all the humans in the area began to spontaneously combust.

A soul force so huge that it was beyond imagination and could not be described in any words rushed into his body.

The golden light in Mitsui Tsubasa's eyes suddenly surged, as if a real gaze pierced through the air and shot out dozens of meters away.

His soul cheered in a trembling voice, suppressing the thoughts and emotions in his mind.

“Arrogant, do you still remember what I said?” Yaldabet looked at him leisurely, “The road to becoming a god is tortuous and bumpy. You must overcome all obstacles and go through countless trials before you can reach the end.”

"And this... is the new trial."

"Use your own will to overcome desire and become a god who controls arrogance; or succumb to this desire and become the embodiment of arrogance;"

"Both of them are gods. It's up to you to choose your future path!"

While resisting the pleasure deep in his soul, Mitsui Tsubasa listened to Yaldabaoth's devilish whispers, and seemed to understand what the First Emperor had felt.

What a false god full of evil taste...

We can't let Him stay here any longer, otherwise he might do something sneaky again.

Thinking of this, Mitsui Tsubasa used up his last bit of strength to control the realm and try to expel Him.

Yaldabet watched with great interest the invisible ripples coming from all directions, and even had the time to clap his hands a few times.

"Are you not welcome to be a nagging senior? Well then, I'll leave now. I look forward to seeing you again, arrogant——!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure slowly dissipated like a dream bubble.

Mitsui Tsubasa forced himself to cheer up and carefully checked the area again to confirm that Yaldabaoth was not hiding in some corner and lurking.

Then he moved and retreated back to his room.

He only had a vague understanding of the capabilities of the domain, and didn't know whether the satellites in the sky could capture images of the domain. To be on the safe side, it would be safer to stay in the building.

When he returned to the living room, his steps suddenly weakened and he fell onto the sofa.

At this moment, the soul fragments of thousands of people gathered into a vast ocean, surging in his consciousness and almost breaking down his mental defenses.

Feeling that his thinking speed was getting slower and slower, Mitsui Tsubasa realized that if this continued, he would probably lose his ability to think completely, and then things would be very bad.

A god who controls arrogance, or a god who is controlled by arrogance... What a boring multiple-choice question!

Chapter 269: Territory Expansion

In the living room, Mitsui Tsubasa completely ignored the external environment and concentrated on feeling the changes in his own soul.

With the endless nourishment of soul power, his pitch-black spirit body, which seemed to be made of solidified flames, was growing vigorously.

Unlike the spirits of ordinary people whose facial features are blurred and their outlines are unclear, his own spirit is extremely clear, with every facial feature and even every hair clearly visible.

He looked at his own spirit as if he were looking in a mirror.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that his spirit was growing proportionally, transforming from the size of a normal human to that of a giant.

As the soul grows stronger, the burden on the body quickly decreases, and there is an indescribable sense of lightness.

He could feel that his body seemed to have expanded and could accommodate more of the flames of the heart.

This was certainly a good thing, but now he had no time to be happy. Instead, he became more worried - the souls of ordinary people were very fragile. If they were extracted without restraint, the more than 6,000 people in the area would all become soulless vegetables.

Then his identity as the evil god would probably be completely confirmed...

What's worse, as the god who controls arrogance, all the soul power he absorbed was converted into the flames of arrogance. This enormous desire for arrogance was inevitably oppressing his humanity.

"Do not make jokes!"

Mitsui Tsubasa gritted his teeth and roared, wishing he could tear Yaldabaoth into pieces!

I was really careless this time. When I saw that He was showing goodwill, I treated Him as someone I could win over. I didn't expect that I would be betrayed so badly.

The revenge of today will be paid in the future!

There was no time to continue being angry, so he immediately calmed down and sensed the spiritual state of the mortals in the area.

After a simple comparison, he found that the more desires among these people, the faster their souls burned, while the ordinary people with few desires were in a much better situation.

After careful perception, Mitsui Tsubasa had a flash of inspiration and had some guesses about Yaldabaoth's methods.

The false god seemed to be manipulating the desire for laziness in the human soul to unbalance their souls. By suppressing other desires and emotions, he forced the desire for arrogance to be aroused and turned it into a flame of arrogance in his domain.

It can be said that without the help of his field, this operation would not be possible at all.

I really suffered from my lack of experience...

When Mitsui Tsubasa realized the reason for the loss of control of his power, he naturally thought of a solution.

He is the god who controls the power of arrogance. In this realm, arrogance must obey his will!

With a thought, the dark flames wrapped around the souls of thousands of humans in the area shook together and weakened a lot in an instant.

Their painful and hideous expressions eased somewhat, and the wails from their mouths became much lighter.

But Mitsui Tsubasa's expression remained solemn, and the anxiety between his brows did not dissipate for a long time.

There were simply too many of them... With his current control, he couldn't immediately quell all the flames of arrogance.

He wanted to solve the problems in batches, but the increasingly violent impact in his soul made his mind dizzy and difficult to concentrate.

The delicate operation was difficult to achieve, so he had to think of other solutions.

"The essence of the flames of the heart is the desire for arrogance. If the excess power in the body can be consumed, it may be possible to reduce the burden on the soul."

In a flash, he came up with a brilliant idea: "Using this power to expand the domain wouldn't be a good idea, and he just happened to think the domain was too small before."

Thinking of this, he released the flame of his heart in his body and reintegrated it into the realm.

Under his control as the Lord of the Temple, invisible ripples emerged in the domain. After repeated vibrations, they converged into black wave-like shock waves and spread outward again.

The boundaries of the field continue to expand to include a wider range.

Subsequently, more humans appeared within his range of perception.

Seven thousand people...

Eight thousand people...

Ten thousand people...!

The area only expanded a few hundred meters, but over ten thousand humans were affected.

Mitsui Tsubasa was puzzled and quickly sent his mind to check the reason for the surge in the number of people.

When he saw this, his expression stiffened and he felt unhappy.

Have the young people in Japan forgotten the cruelty of the war? Why are there so many people who, in the face of such an unknown disaster, are willing to join in the fun regardless of the danger?

The people who are trying to rescue are fine, but are those young students holding their phones and exploring the central area excitedly crazy?

Out of curiosity, he used his omnipresent spiritual sense to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Hey, Tomomi-chan, do we really need to go deeper?"

A female student with long flowing hair was trembling as she held her schoolbag, her eyes scanning with horror at the strangers lying on the ground and wailing.

"It doesn't look safe here..."

"It's okay. Look, so many people have come over here. Aren't they all okay?"

The tomboy-dressed female student nonchalantly tugged at her friend's sleeve and forcibly dragged her towards the core area of ​​Roppongi.

She was holding a new Apple phone in her hand and excitedly filming the video. "The police haven't arrived yet, so the videos we recorded will become first-hand information on the scene, and maybe even make the news!"

When she thought about being able to make a big splash in school, the worries in her heart instantly disappeared.

Encouraged by her, her companions also gritted their teeth, took out their mobile phones and started filming together.

There are many people who have similar ideas as them, and they all explore the streets that look like a disaster movie scene with their own thoughts.

There are endless speculations about "gas explosion" and "leak of secret military experiments".

Even worse, some people tried to make a fortune from the national disaster by looking for places with little surveillance and stealing property stealthily.

These "adventurous" pioneers became the first victims after the field became active again.

When the black flames swept in, they didn't even have the chance to turn around and escape. In the blink of an eye, they joined the ranks of those who were holding their heads and wailing.

Compared with these unfortunate people, the volunteers who carried out rescue activities at the edge were much luckier. Except for a few people who had poor vision in the building, everyone else outran the slowly expanding area and evacuated safely to a safe area.

Mitsui Tsubasa's attention also shifted to a group of students. They were wearing the same bright yellow school uniform tops as the two girls who were seeking death before, paired with black and white plaid skirts, which made them very conspicuous.

One of the older women seemed to be the teacher in charge, and she was trying her best to calm the breathless students.

"Everyone, don't panic. Calm down first."

She waved her arms, suppressed the panic in her heart, and quickly glanced at the students: "Is everyone out? Is there anyone left behind? The situation is unclear now, let's evacuate a distance, and leave the rescue to professionals..."

Before she finished her words, a female student trembled and said, "Teacher, Tomomi and Rieko seem to have...run inside..."

The teacher's expression froze instantly. She opened her mouth in confusion but couldn't utter a word.

"Why would such a thing happen during an extracurricular practice...?"

Chapter 270 Metamorphosis

After briefly paying attention to the dynamics in the field, Mitsui Tsubasa retracted his gaze and sensed the changes in himself.

After consuming a large amount of the flame of his heart, his thinking ability improved for a short time, but soon became slow again.

He was shocked and hurried to check the situation in the area.

Then it was discovered that something had happened to the newly added people - their souls actually began to burn!

"Yaldabait!?"

The first thing he thought of was this false God. Was He still interfering?

After careful observation, Mitsui Tsubasa realized that this was not the case. The spirits of these new humans showed no signs of imbalance. It was more like they were infected by the victims around them. The more victims there were and the more critical their situations were, the more severe the symptoms of their souls spontaneously combusting became.

It's like an infectious disease...

He had long known that emotions and desires could be transmitted between people, and this was exactly how the Desire Demon Seed was transmitted.

This kind of cognitive pollution is extremely similar to memetic pollution, and has brought him a lot of convenience in the past.

Unexpectedly, it has now become a problem that troubles him.

He found it difficult to control the group when there were 6,000 people. What about when there were more than 10,000 people?

The answer is that it is getting dramatically worse.

Mitsui Tsubasa felt that he was trapped in a vicious circle. If he stopped expanding his territory, the ensuing massive amount of heart flames would completely break down his mental defenses.

But allowing the domain to expand will also add more and more victims and gain greater and unrestrained power.

It's pretty much the difference between an immediate crash and a slow crash.

After his domain expands infinitely, he may indeed become a god, but is that god really him...

The extreme pleasure from the soul paralyzed and eroded Mitsui Tsubasa's sanity. He could feel that other desires and emotions in his consciousness were being suppressed by extreme arrogance.
