CH 049

"We have some visitors. I'll make them pay in blood," I said, walking through the main door.

It was night, with only a few fireflies lighting up the area, casting dancing shadows. The place was cold, surrounded by pine trees. I stood outside my mansion and activated my mind stone. At first glance, there was no one in sight. The mind stone filters out living beings by identifying their mental signatures, and currently, there were none nearby. 'I want to make sure no one is near me,' I thought as I expanded the search area.

Bingo! Exactly 10 kilometers from my house, several people were assembled at a secret cave location within my property. Though it was far from the main house, it was still within my land. 'How did they manage to use such a strong quirk from this far away?' I wondered as I floated towards their direction. Inside the cave, I found around 56 people, seemingly in discussion. I recognized someone familiar. "Kaagaz Rani!" I shouted, causing the group to panic and rush outside while Kaagaz Rani used her telekinesis to float.

"I can't believe you figured out our plan so soon," she said, wielding the same spear her father once had.

"I'll let you live if you give me the person who manipulated my father," I demanded, waiting for her response. She looked confused.

"Someone manipulated your father? That's interesting, to say the least. Anyway, your parents were idiots, foolish enough to leave their land and stay in enemy territory. Now that it has come to this, let's make it easy. Your life for your parents'—what do you say?"

I gave her a look of disbelief. "You think you can defeat me? I am a literal god," I said, incredulous at her audacity. Did she really think she could defeat me with her stupid quirk?

"Oh boy, you are as arrogant as ever. I am not the only person here. As you can sense, there are a lot of heroes inside and outside the cave," she retorted.

I couldn't control my laughter as I descended to the ground. "Well, if you are that ready, why don't we start the party?" I said, summoning two portals near her. Both portals were connected to black holes, quickly pulling her in two directions, violently tearing her apart.

"I see the battle has begun," said a yeti-like hero who leaped towards me. I activated my phasing ability, causing him to fall through me. I then looked at Kaagaz Rani, who had turned herself into thin sheets of paper, escaping the gravity threshold of the portals. Before I could act, more heroes jumped on me, phasing through me effortlessly.

"Spatial Tears!" I shouted, causing millions of tiny reflective surfaces to appear on them, killing them instantly. Kaagaz Rani looked at the massacre and pushed forward.

"Last time you killed my father, and this time you have killed my friends. Who are you planning to kill next?" she asked as her paper-thin body tried to pierce me, but none of her layers could penetrate my hardened body.

After an hour of back-and-forth, almost all the heroes were dead, with Kaagaz Rani lying on the ground, breathing heavily. "Now, tell me who manipulated my father. If you tell me, I will let you live. I know you have a sister, and you don't want to disappoint her," I said, walking towards her. She looked at me with mad eyes.

"None of us had the ability to possess, at least that's what I know," she said, coughing blood.

"I see that even on your deathbed, you will not admit your mistake. I guess I have no choice but to make an example of you," I replied, placing my hand on her head. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a helicopter.

"We command you to stop this madness. If not, India as a whole will fight against you. Leave our heroes," someone said from the helicopter. I looked at Kaagaz Rani, who was slightly smiling.

"Acting like a villain, are we? No matter how hard you try, you won't escape the law. You have parents and a girlfriend who need the protection of the nation. No matter what you do, you will never become the absolute villain," she said, smiling as blood dripped from her mouth.

"Oh yeah, we will see about that," I said, crushing her head. I looked at the astonished faces of the crew in the helicopter and then went back to the mansion.

"Where can we go from here, Kaneki, if they keep treating us like this?" my mother asked.

"I don't know, but for now, we need to stay here. We can't run away in fear; that will make us look weak. I'll plan something out. You don't have to worry for now," I said and went to my room. I slept in the mansion for the night.

Momo called me early in the morning, around 3 o'clock in Indian time. "Kaneki, where are you? I am at the house," she asked.

I sighed and replied, "I will come there soon, Momo. Wait for me." I slowly dragged my body to the shower and then went to the house in Japan.

Momo was sitting there, reading manga, as I teleported.

AN: I just got a huge project .So, I will be busy for some days before starting to write again. Just until I assign the team members. So bear with the delay. I know that this chapter was rushed . I will make sure that I will not do the same thing again.
