Light fell over. His body was covered in his own blood, which wouldn't stop gushing out. Light seemed to lean as if he was gonna collapsed, but then he laughed.
"I can feel the pain, yet I do not die… how interesting," he said. However, Joshua ignored this, as he was busy on focusing what Ryuk had said.
Joshua looked utterly angry, however, he was not angry at the fact that the intruder seemed immortal. He looked over at Ryuk and gave him an angry, yet puzzled look, the kind a young boy gives his parents when they are frustrated.
"Yagami Light, it seems I underestimated you far more than I had ever imagined," stated Ryuk.

"Humans are evil creatures by nature. Lies and death be upon them, at least that's what is said. However… our God is soon to return, and, as he did 4 years ago, he shall show us compassion to change us into the greatest species that ever lived," spoke Michael Bomba. The woman behind him nodded.
"But, sir, how do you know Kira will return so soon?" asked one of the followers in the crowd.
"A legitimate question… most would say, but are you questioning the divine will of one of almighty Kira's priests?" responded Bomba.
"No, of course not… but-" the man said before he was cut off by a gunshot. The man fell over backwards. The whole of group members all were holding a pistol. The man had been shot by over a hundred times, and the only reason it had not been more was because some were just quicker at firing than others.
"As you can see, we still have heretics in this world…" said Bomba, as if nothing had happened. "But Kira will lead us to the ultimate salvation. We are his Chosen People, and all heretics will burn in the fiery pits of this goddamned afterlife!" Bomba yelled. He almost seemed to foaming at the mouth.
The woman in the back stepped forward.
"We will give Kira political power soon. For all our sins, we can reward him the world. Then he will have protections from such heretics as L. While heretics are mindless scumbags, we need to learn they are still a threat. May God be with us."

"I find myself wondering about humanity. Their attitude to my sister's gift is so strange. Why do they fear the sunless lands? It is as natural to die as it is to be born. But they fear her. Dread her. Feebly they attempt to placate her. They do not love her."
