[ After a few moments, Yato starts laughing. It sounds uneasy at first, then manic. ]
Fine! So you want me to tell you guys the truth. I'll kindly oblige your wishes! Let me start with the very first one... Mr. Detective.
[ He straightens up and stares at Mouri for a moment, before looking away towards the center of the podiums, into the void. ]
You asked me once what kind of wish it was that gave me life. Well, I'm not a god of fortune, that's for sure... and I'm not a god of combat, or even a god of calamity. The wish that brought me to life was a human who hates his kind so much that he wished for a god to cull the herd. I was born to be a god of depravity. The thought of a god born to bring depravity to human becoming a god of fortune... was always impossible! This is who I was born to be!
So you know what? I don't think anything of it. [ He laughs, but it's got that manic edge to it again, and he seems to be shaking slightly at his podium. ] Mion agreed to fight me because she didn't want to take the risk either, but really? I'm a god with hundreds of years of combat experience. I took advantage of her and I killed her.
... And no, for the record. I did — didn't care what would happen to the rest of you if I had gotten away with it. In fact... I'm sure most of you are secretly relieved, aren't you? You weren't the one who had to die, after all. So you know what? You're welcome. I just fulfilled the wish you had in your heart but couldn't say aloud.
So there's the truth for you. What else do you want to know?
