Now, without omnipotence, Kaito could no longer read his mind, but something that had passed over him while searching for the location caught his attention, so he wanted to ask.
However.
"Kughhh."
"I c-can't breathe."
"I... I g-give up, please... stop."
Kaito saw not only the old man and Vermouth, but also Shinichi and Shiho barely managing to stay on their feet. In fact, aside from the old man lying on the bed, the others were collapsed on the floor, kneeling, clutching their throats, unable to breathe.
Kaito knew exactly what was happening.
After discovering that Kushina passively attracted people, he had asked the system whether he did the same, but the system told him no.
A demon's aura depends entirely on their personality. While Kushina's naturally attracts, Kaito's dominates others without harming them, forcing them to submit.
A clear example was the old man in front of him. Even though he could not breathe and was pressed against the bed, his health remained stable. Despite the fact that a force capable of forcing someone to the ground should seriously injure someone like him, who could barely survive while connected to a machine.
Although there were exceptions, some species perceived aura differently.
For example, the stronger the aura, the greater the hatred or rejection it would provoke in the antithesis of demons, along with other specific exceptions.
However, Kaito had only learned all of this in this world, and without his powers, he had never been able to practice how to reduce that effect. This made suppressing his aura in his normal version, much less his version one hundred times stronger, impossible.
So Kaito could only wait for the duration of the Supreme ability to end before continuing to speak.
When the effect ended, everyone returned to normal, but the trauma remained. They all looked at him with fear in their eyes and instinctively stepped back.
Except for the old man on the bed, who could not do so, instead his horror intensified.
With every step Kaito took toward him, his fear reached new levels, until Kaito stood in front of him and smiled.
"Now... it seems you are finally willing to talk."
"I-I will talk, I will tell you everything I know," the old man said.
Thanks to Kaito's accidental threat, the old man immediately told him everything he knew, in great detail.
Kaito listened with a serious expression, missing nothing, but in his mind he was thinking something completely different.
'What the hell? What is he talking about? Since when am I an angel of death who came to reclaim his treasures?'
[In fact, you are].
'I am?' Kaito asked, extremely confused.
[That is correct. Did you forget that this world is a mix of several worlds? Obviously the plot could not remain the same, so they created new lore to justify everything].
'I see' Kaito said after thinking about it.
'I guess that makes sense. But now that I know: seriously? All the objects fell from the sky and that was it? That is such a lack of imagination.'
[No comment].
"E-excuse me, Mr. Angel of Death," Renya said. He had already finished speaking, but saw that Kaito was just staring at him in silence.
"What is it?" Kaito asked, returning to reality.
"What will happen... to me?" he asked, terrified.
"Right," Kaito said, as if he had just remembered, and lightly raised his hand.
The moment he did, fire erupted beneath Vermouth and Karasuma Renya. Neither of them could even scream before turning into ashes.
"Ahhh!"
Kaito turned at the sound of the scream.
"What? You do not think they did not deserve it or something like that, right?"
"N-no, I was just surprised," Shiho replied.
"And you?" Kaito asked, looking at Shinichi.
"I think the law should have handled it, but I also know I do not have the power to uphold my ideals right now, so there is no point," Shinichi said, stepping back. As wrong as Kaito's actions seemed to him, he was not foolish enough to make him his enemy.
"By the way, there is something I wanted to ask you," Shiho said this time.
"What is it?"
"You returned us to normal with the ability you had even before recovering your form, right?"
"That is right," Kaito nodded, feigning indifference.
He knew what she wanted to ask. If he could return them to normal with that ability, why had he not done so the other two times he activated it before?
The answer was simple.
Returning them to normal while he himself was still a child? No, impossible.
He could already imagine Shinichi's annoyed expression.
Shiho also realized that Kaito knew and was pretending, so she said nothing.
"So, what will you do now?" Shinichi asked.
"I will go after the other nine objects," Kaito replied. "I will use the same technique as last time. I will cause a big disturbance, wait for them to notice me on their own, and find them that way."
"Was that not something you did with an ability you can only use once a month?"
"No. I simply imitated the effect of an ability I normally have.
Speaking of that, I will deal with the Black Organization while I do that, although it will take some time."
"How much time?"
"About one day," Kaito replied, mainly because there were people scattered all over the world.
Even for Kaito, circling the globe would take around two and a half hours, and he would have to make countless stops.
"I have a better idea.
Just take care of the high ranking members, people like Gin, Vodka, or Ron. The lower rank members who perform basic roles can be handled by the authorities," Shinichi interjected.
"And how will they find them?" Kaito asked.
"The Warehouse has spies everywhere. For an organization of that size, it is impossible not to have a record of all its agents. Otherwise, they would make mistakes by confusing allies and enemies.
Such a file would definitely be in the boss's house."
WHOOSH.
The air exploded as Kaito vanished at extreme speed, leaving behind only a gust that ruffled their hair.
"Damn it," Shinichi muttered.
"What is it?" Shiho asked.
"With that speed, the wind should have hurt us or at least pushed us. That power was controlled. He does it on purpose."
FWOOOSH.
Before he could say anything else, the gust returned and Kaito appeared in front of them.
"I leave for three seconds and you are already talking badly about me?" Kaito joked, tossing a file that Shinichi caught.
"Everyone is in there. You do your part and I will do mine."
Shinichi looked at the file, which was no more than fifteen centimeters thick, and raised an eyebrow.
"So few?"
"They are all the ones with enough evidence to be arrested," Kaito replied, giving him a meaningful look.
Shinichi met his gaze for a second before sighing.
"Fine, I will accept it."
"In that case, let us return to Japan," Kaito said, grabbing both of them.
"What are you going to...?"
Before Shiho could finish, Kaito spread his wings and began flying in a straight line toward Japan.
One thing worth noting was that he did not need to worry about his mother.
The moment he arrived in Antarctica, he appeared inside a wooden cabin. Among several books on a shelf, there was a black notebook that stood out, pristine among old books.
Kaito took it and read the name written in white letters on the cover.
Death Note.
He was not surprised. The simple fact that the world's title contained the word death had already made him think that the story of Death Note was part of that world.
The moment he took it, the mission completion notification appeared. Obtaining just one of the objects of death was enough for it to be considered complete.
However, Kaito did not choose to withdraw.
Instead, the system transformed the notebook into its original form, fragments of divinity, which were also synchronization points.
If synchronization points were only used to change form, they would be a complete scam.
The synchronization points transformed him into his adult form and also synchronized that form with the world. To his mother, Kaito had left home a long time ago and already had a job. He had never been on a plane heading to Hawaii, never pulled out a gun, shattered a window, and jumped out of a plane.
Of course, Conan and Haibara had.
They would probably appear in the newspapers the next day, or even that same night.
Unfortunately, both had already returned to their original forms, Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho, so the two children would never be found.
As he thought about that, Kaito's expression became serious.
"What is it?" Shiho asked, supported by his right arm. Thanks to Kaito's strength, they were perfectly stable, despite flying at nearly twenty thousand kilometers per hour, at ten thousand meters of altitude, without any protection at all.
At the question, Kaito decided to say what he had just thought.
"Conan and Haibara jumped out of a plane. But now that they are Shinichi and Shiho, those two children will never appear again."
He paused.
"So, will people not think that Conan and Haibara died by committing suicide after jumping together from a plane?"
