The hell with being a good person!
Seiji almost retorted.
"If you want me to do something for you, just this bit of information isn't enough," Seiji stated. "I want to know what exactly happened. Why is the world in such a state?"
"Not to help me. You're helping Grand Mistress …" Kamitani stated.
"I'm not so arrogant as to think that Yui needs my help!" Seiji interrupted him. "Perhaps she really is in a terrible situation in the Realm of Cherry Blossoms as you say, but I don't think that she can't hold on or escape. Stop acting like an idiot!"
That was the Qilin girl Yui Haruta, his older sister who was countless times more powerful than he was. She definitely wouldn't easily fall into a desperate situation. Or, even if she did, she would definitely be able to overcome it.
If it was confirmed that Yui truly needed his help, of course Seiji would unhesitatingly help her. But since he wasn't sure, he first had to consider whether or not his older sister needed his help.
He felt that it was unlikely that she needed his help. That was because Yui was truly powerful, undeniably powerful.
Wanting to help her without even knowing the specifics of the situation wasn't just foolish. It could even be described as arrogant.
However, the main reason was that Itsuki Kamitani, a high-ranking member of the Messengers, was the one who told him that she was in danger. He was someone who couldn't be trusted.
The black figure fell silent for a moment before he chuckled.
"You actually saw through me so easily. I thought that I would be able to sway you a little, Haruta bro."
"You're right. Grand Mistress won't be unable to hold on. She's a Qilin, after all. She won't die so easily.
Although I don't necessarily need you to go find Voidfire-kun, just treat it as a great gift. As you wish, I'll tell you more information. "
Kamitani paused for a moment.
"The reason why the world is in such a state is because of the Messengers' actions.
However, this wasn't the Messengers' original intention. It was the result of a failed mission and unexpected factors. Simply speaking, it was a complete mess.
The original goal of the mission was to prevent Soul Society from sacrificing its citizens to bring the Realm of Cherry Blossoms to the world. We also considered the consequences of failure. But, as you can see, things are far worse than expected.
Heh heh, an evil organization acted for the sake of justice, but caused the situation to become thousands of times worse. How interesting, hahaha … "
Kamitani chuckled. It sounded like he was genuinely amused and delighted.
Of course, Seiji didn't laugh along. Instead, he frowned.
Although this guy was twisted, his words didn't seem to be fake … At least, they didn't seem completely fake.
"Why does the Messengers want to stop Soul Society from sacrificing its citizens?" Seiji asked.
"I just said, for noble justice!" Kamitani chuckled and shrugged. "Voidfire-kun is the one who led this operation that I wanted you to find. He's truly a good person, a good person who pursues justice."
"Justice …" Seiji's eyes flashed.
At this moment, Seiji really wanted to meet this person with the code name Voidfire.
"What I regret is that the result of pursuing justice is that millions of lives are in danger! That's thousands of times more than the number of people Soul Society is planning to sacrifice. What an incomparably beautiful evil. It completely fits our organization's image, hehehehe … "Kamitani couldn't stop chuckling.
There was not a trace of mockery in his laugh, but only amusement and pleasure.
But in a certain sense, it was even more hair-raising.
Was it evil to act for the sake of justice, but the result was far worse than anyone could imagine?
If he had to come up with an answer, Seiji felt that to the victims, it would be "evil".
No matter what the perpetrator's goal was, no matter how high-sounding of an excuse they gave, it wouldn't lessen the victims' pain.
The only thing worth celebrating right now was that the situation hadn't reached the point of complete despair. The victims were still alive … or at least, most of them were still alive. As long as the situation was resolved in time, they would be saved!
"I don't really believe that you would act for the sake of justice. At the very least, it wouldn't be purely for the sake of justice. There must be some benefits that you can obtain." Seiji looked directly at Kamitani. "As for the specifics … I'm guessing that you'll want me to ask Voidfire myself."
"You know what I'm going to say. You really understand me. As expected of my Haruta bro, as expected of my best friend!"
"Best friend, the hell!!"
Kamitani finally couldn't help but comment.
"Even I feel disgusted that I can predict what you're going to say … it's just like knowing what kind of stench rotting meat will give off."
"That's too much! I'm not rotting meat at all! I'm a human!! "Kamitani countered.
"You actually didn't deny the part about rotting meat …"
"That's right. I should say that I'm a noble human!"
"If you're noble, then everyone else in the world is a saint."
"Thank you for the compliment ~"
"I'm not complimenting you!" Seiji made a classic comment.
He then forced himself to calm down and asked, "How can we resolve this situation and restore the world to normal?"
"Simple. All we need to do is kill the Catastrophe Goddess," Kamitani instantly responded.
"Catastrophe Goddess …"
"She's the strongest and fiercest god that rules over the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. According to Soul Society's standards, she's more dangerous than a 'Demon King'. She's a 'Catastrophe Goddess'. She can be called the 'Cherry Blossom Catastrophe Goddess.'"
Cherry Blossom Catastrophe Goddess … that was the Evil White Goddess's official name. Seiji nodded in understanding.
"Who has the power to kill a Catastrophe Goddess that's above a Demon King?"
"Currently, it seems that nobody can deal with her by themselves."
"… Do you have a plan?" Since they needed to team up and fight together, they should have a plan.
"I'm currently working on a god-slaying plan. Lend me a hand and save the world together! My dear friend!! "Kamitani pretentiously opened his hands.
Seiji responded with an icy glare.
Kamitani was definitely untrustworthy. However, the current situation was so terrible that no matter who it was, they would have to deal with this crisis unless they ran away.
"If the situation is so terrible, why don't you run away? For someone like you, it probably doesn't matter what happens to this city. Even if millions or even tens of millions of people die, it's nothing more than something interesting to you. "
"Because I can't escape," Kamitani answered.
Because it was only natural that he couldn't escape.
He didn't doubt Seiji's explanation at all.
That was the truth. The destruction of the city and the deaths of countless people were nothing to him.
"… Are you unable to escape, or are you able to escape, but someone will come after you?" Seiji narrowed his eyes and asked another question.
Kamitani fell silent for a moment.
"Why do you ask that?"
"You know why," Seiji stated coldly.
Kamitani chuckled upon hearing this.
"As expected of my good friend. Little Brother Haruta, you've seen through me again."
"I can escape from here, but I'm afraid I'll be hunted to death."
"Although being hunted is quite interesting, I don't want to live like that for now, so I can only stay and do something."
Seiji stared at him.
A murderous aura emanated from his body.
"You … what did you do?"
