This could probably be counted as the most ridiculous scene that Lord God Yujin had ever witnessed in the Lord God Space.
Miyata Kuraki personally admitted that Li Shuaixi's head-count reward was taken by him, and after that, Chu Xuan directly told him to turn himself in at the police station.
Yujin, who had read the original work, clearly remembered that the author had mentioned Miyata Kuraki was a descendant of the Japanese military.
Yujin had no doubt that under Chu Xuan's interrogation, Ikumi had spilled everything she knew—and even things she did not know.
On the surface, it looked like she was turning herself in to complete the mission and end the reincarnation.
But Yujin could not shake the feeling that Chu Xuan, who seemed to have read the script in advance, was deliberately using this chance to make Miyata Kuraki acknowledge the crimes of his ancestors.
Unfortunately, Yujin would never get to see that scene.
Because Ikumi already counted as one of the Ghost-Faced Killer quotas and did not need to stay at the police station.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Chu Xuan had Yujin restrain Ikumi, leaving him staring each other down with the remaining two members of the East Sea Team.
After Miyata Kuraki and Chu Xuan left, the three-sword-style user Tanaka Jūsuke looked at Yujin flying in the air, his provocative intent at full throttle.
"You Central Continent team really have guts," Tanaka sneered. "Aren't you afraid that Miyata Kuraki will go on a killing spree inside your team? Without you captain, your Central Continent team is nothing but ants!"
Before Yujin could respond, Kozumi Masao at the side panicked and hurriedly bowed in apology.
"Sir! Please don't listen to him," Masao said anxiously. "You're holding the life of the person our captain loves most. The captain will definitely put the bigger picture first and won't do what he says."
Smack!
Tanaka Jūsuke slapped Kozumi Masao across the face, then drew his katana and lightly patted Masao's cheek with the back of the blade.
"Were you just trying to humiliate me?" Tanaka said coldly.
"No! No!" Masao lowered his head. "I—I was just…"
His teeth were nearly crushed from how hard he clenched them, yet he kept apologizing without stopping.
Seeing the atmosphere within the East Sea Team, Yujin couldn't help but laugh.
With a member like Tanaka Jūsuke, how could the East Sea Team ever avoid total annihilation?
After finishing his lesson on Kozumi Masao, Tanaka noticed Yujin laughing and immediately started shouting.
"Baka! What are you laughing at?!"
"Is laughing a crime now?"
"Baka!" Tanaka Jūsuke stared at Yujin's mocking smile, his body trembling uncontrollably.
It was the result of adrenaline surging through his veins.
This guy was desperately craving a fight.
Watching Tanaka Jūsuke's behavior, Yujin suddenly realized something.
Although Chu Xuan hadn't given any instructions or even exchanged a glance before leaving—
With Chu Xuan's intellect, his schemes never required deliberate cooperation from others.
Yujin analyzed it himself.
"Could it be that bastard Chu Xuan already saw through Tanaka Jūsuke's personality and knew my temper as well, deliberately leaving me behind?"
"Was he waiting for a conflict to erupt so he could smoothly harvest a side-quest?"
"Could it really be that godlike?"
Yujin thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized something else.
Could it be that Chu Xuan had even calculated this exact moment—him trying to figure out Chu Xuan's scheme—into the plan as well?
And from that, concluded that a conflict was guaranteed to happen one hundred percent?
No way, brother.
You even calculated this?
"My brain hurts."
"Hey! Baka! You've been muttering to yourself since earlier—what the hell are you talking about?" Tanaka Jūsuke shouted, pulling out his sword once again.
At the side, Kozumi Masao was practically about to explode with anger.
But to prevent any more conflict before the cycle ended, even if it meant offending Tanaka Jūsuke, he still shouted at Yujin, "Sorry! Captain of the Central Continent team! Our teammate is mentally unstable, please don't take it personally!"
The moment those words left his mouth, both Yujin and the captive Ikumi he was holding narrowed their eyes at the same time.
Pa!
A sharp cracking sound rang out as Tanaka Jūsuke slammed the back of his katana hard into the back of Kozumi Masao's head.
The back of the human skull was already fragile, and with this heavy blow, a sharp bump instantly rose on Kozumi Masao's head—even with his Toguro-younger-type enhancement build.
"Damn it…" Kozumi Masao cursed through the pain.
Before he could recover, another blow came down.
After being humiliated again and again, Kozumi Masao finally stopped holding back.
Right in front of Yujin, he activated the first-stage Gene Lock and started grappling with Tanaka Jūsuke.
"Hahahaha! You don't know your place!" Tanaka Jūsuke slashed down, cutting straight into Kozumi Masao's shoulder.
The razor-sharp blade lodged itself directly into the bone, making Kozumi Masao roll his eyes in agony.
However, this also forced Tanaka Jūsuke to fight using only his remaining two swords, drastically reducing his combat effectiveness.
Once Tanaka Jūsuke started fighting, he always aimed to kill.
He released his right hand, drew the other two swords from his waist, and leapt backward.
Then, he called out the name of his technique.
"Two-Sword Style — Second Slash — Ascending the Tower!"
Kozumi Masao showed no fear.
He raised his fists and charged forward.
Even if he couldn't win—
Shua!
Tanaka Jūsuke's body passed straight through Kozumi Masao.
The two of them froze in their previous poses, completely motionless.
