A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Surprisingly, Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, still shows no signs of awakening, not even the slightest mental fluctuation.

Camilla said she would continue to keep a close watch on the situation.

To others, this intelligence might just be good news. But Chiyu read something deeper into it.

There must be something fishy about Gatanothor's prolonged unconsciousness.

After a moment's thought, he guessed the reason behind this unusual phenomenon.

Perhaps because after the world line was reset, Qianyu deliberately chose the villain route and used the Gu-raising plan to forcibly occupy an ecological niche in the dark camp.

This action directly led to an awkward situation: the Dark Qi faction's ranks were already full.

Gatanothor, as the "true ruler of darkness," should have been the final boss.

But now that Qianyu, this fake villain, has taken over its job, the world's yin-yang balance mechanism is probably struggling with whether or not to give rise to another dark force to counterbalance it.

To put it bluntly, Qianyu has lost control of the black energy.

The villain was originally used by the dark forces to counterbalance the righteous protagonist, namely Qian Yu.

As a result, he immediately switched sides, occupied a villainous niche, and even set up a monster arena, dealing cards and raising monsters himself.

This left the dark forces unsure whether to proceed with the original plan and awaken Gatanothor to balance the situation.

After all, there's already a powerful and restless "villain" jumping around on the scene. If we wake up the evil god, the villainous camp might start fighting amongst themselves first.

Therefore, the dark energy probably won't easily wake Gatanothor.

Having sorted out this logic, Qianyu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

He leaned back on the sofa, plotting an extremely despicable scheme.

Since Aya Asagiri has already been labeled a "protagonist of justice" by the world's will, Akane Shinjo has also successfully become a strategist.

Once the plan to raise Gu is complete and Asagiri Aya's strength is fully formed, it's best to simply outsource the task of defeating Gatanothor to these little girls.

Anyway, these people have now been categorized as belonging to the righteous camp by the laws of the world, and they have the protagonist's halo protecting them.

According to the unwavering logic of those Japanese anime, it would be as easy as drinking water for righteous allies to team up and take down the Dark Ruler.

Chapter 224 Light Yagami Arrives at the Door

Qianyu picked up the canned coffee next to her, took a sip, and kept her accomplishment to herself.

At this moment, Aya Asagiri was immersed in the ecstasy of victory and was busy putting away the cards on the table, preparing to start another game.

She had no idea that her seemingly harmless boss had already arranged a hellish challenge for her in the future, comparable to "Go and eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples."

"Tap, tap, tap."

Just then, there was a knock on the club's door.

A boy wearing a Sakigawa High School uniform pushed open the door and walked in.

His brown hair was neatly combed, he was handsome, and had a clean and efficient demeanor; he looked like the kind of top student who was always on the honor roll.

"Excuse me, I am Light Yagami from Class 2-B."

The boy stood at the door, bowed slightly with utmost politeness, and gave an impeccable opening remark.

Akane Shinjo was very annoyed by the sudden interruption.

She was already fuming from losing the game, and after giving this seemingly perfect, well-behaved, high-achieving student a once-over, she immediately retorted without hesitation.

"Our clubs are already full. If you're here to apply for membership, please turn right and go downstairs. Goodbye."

Light Yagami was not angry because of his bad attitude.

He stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind him, shutting out the noise from the corridor.

"I'm not here to apply for membership."

Light Yagami's gaze skipped over Akane Shinjo and locked onto the black-haired girl sitting on the other side of the table.

"I'm looking for someone. Excuse me, is Aya Asagiri here?"

Asagiri Aya was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly tore off the note from her forehead, stood up, and carefully looked at the handsome stranger in front of her.

"I'm Asagiri Aya... What do you want? I don't think I know you, senior."

Light Yagami took two steps forward without uttering a single unnecessary word.

He directly pulled out the card of the Unicorn Super Beast Baksim.

This action made Qianyu, who was sitting on the sofa, squint her eyes slightly.

"You may not recognize me," Light Yagami said softly, "but you should recognize this thing, shouldn't you?"

The moment the card was seen, the air in the activity room seemed to freeze.

Akane Shinjo sprang up from her chair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"They're the enemy!!"

Asagiri Aya was just basking in the joy of winning, but now her face is deathly pale.

She never expected that just yesterday, Qianyu said there would be enemies, and today those enemies were blocking the club's door.

The group instantly went into a state of high alert and readiness.

Faced with this tense situation where a fight could break out at any moment, Light Yagami remained calm and composed.

He lowered his hand holding the card slightly to show that he meant no harm.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to challenge Asagiri to a monster battle."

If I really wanted to take action, I wouldn't have made my entrance in this cramped room, in this way.

Akane Shinjo gave a cold laugh, still staring intently at him.

"Since you're not here to fight, did you bring your monster cards here to have some tea?"

Light Yagami shook his head, his expression unchanged, and said, "I'm here to seek cooperation."

When these words were uttered, not only Asagiri Aya and Shinjo Akane were stunned, but even Chiba was taken aback.

"Cooperation?" Aya Asagiri peeked half her head out from behind Akane Shinjo. "What kind of cooperation?"

Light Yagami sighed.

"To be honest, I'm being watched."

"That guy claimed to be a monster under the Dark Ruler, forcibly gave me this power, and then threatened me with extremely cruel methods, demanding that I kill a girl named Asagiri Aya in the shortest possible time and take the cards from her."

Asagiri Aya stared at him wide-eyed, incredulous.

Light Yagami looked up and clenched his fists tightly.

"But I don't want to do that."

“I’m not that kind of person. Even if I’m threatened, I would never allow myself to be used as a pawn in the slaughter of my own kind by that monster, because deep down I don’t want to hurt the innocent. But that guy isn’t human. His strength far exceeds my imagination, and I’m powerless to resist his threats.”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes in pain and took a deep breath.

"So after a whole night of inner struggle, I decided to take the risk and come here to tell you everything, because this is the only way I can think of to break the deadlock."

Both Aya Asagiri and Akane Shinjo were stunned by these words.

Asagiri Aya analyzed the other person's logic: "You mean... you were originally sent to kill me, but you didn't want to kill me, so you came to warn me?"

Light Yagami nodded heavily.

"That's right, and it's not just about sending messages."

Light Yagami then revealed the ultimate purpose of his trip.

"I hope to take this opportunity to form an alliance with you, because I alone cannot fight against the mastermind behind this, but if we join forces, perhaps we can completely eliminate the mastermind behind this brutal fight."

Qianyu almost burst out laughing.

He is the mastermind behind it all.

The person who "ordered him to kill Aya Asagiri" mentioned by Light Yagami most likely refers to Mefilas.

Mefilas did indeed pass on information about Asagiri Aya to him, but the claim that he was "ordered to kill someone" was pure exaggeration.

This is a typical Yagami Light-style tactic: three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. The truth forms the framework, while the lies fill in the content, making it impossible for the other party to tell which parts are fabricated.

Qianyu remained silent, observing the spectacle with great interest.

However, Light Yagami took the initiative to approach Aya Asagiri, and the progress was at least three days faster than he had expected.

I thought he would sabotage me from the shadows, but he actually came up to me as a good guy. If I didn't know he had two more cards up his sleeve, I might have believed him. Light Yagami is truly born to be a villain.

However, although Aya Asagiri was starting to believe her, Akane Shinjo was clearly not so easily fooled.

As a seasoned tokusatsu enthusiast, she has seen countless conspiracies and schemes.

"Bullshit! It sounds better when you talk than when you sing."

Akane Shinjo scoffed, remaining highly skeptical of such a windfall.

"You're all talk, but who knows if you're just putting on an act, deliberately getting close to us so you can find an opportunity to sabotage us? How can you prove your sincerity?"

Faced with this entirely expected questioning, Light Yagami neither refuted nor rushed to defend himself.

"You're right, words are no proof."

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and handed the monster card with Bakshim printed on it to Aya Asagiri.

"But if words can't gain your trust, what about adding this?"

Chapter 225 Forming an Alliance

Now that a verbal alliance had been reached, the atmosphere in the activity room naturally eased considerably.

The group then sat down around the folding table and began to discuss their next move.

Asagiri Aya put away the cards in her hand, looked at Yagami Light across from her, and spoke first.

"Senior Yagami, since we're going to form an alliance to find the mastermind behind this, do you have any useful clues at hand right now?"

"Yes, but it's not complete yet."
