Then there is the connection to the shinigami. Light, by using the Death Note, establishes a link with the spiritual plane where these gods of death exist. He ceases to be merely human and becomes an anomaly in the balance between life and death. In metaphysical terms, he is an intermediary between worlds—a demigod. Ryuk, his observing shinigami, makes it clear that humans should not have this power. But Light not only uses it—he merges with it, becoming the very embodiment of doomsday. He didn't just want justice. He wanted worship. He wanted to be God. And the tragic thing is that, for a time, he was.
If Light manipulated the notebook so that another shinigami would write his name under a deferred condition (e.g., "Light Yagami will die only when he wishes, after the world recognizes him as God"), he would create a paradox. And since Shinigami are governed by absolute rules, this kind of loophole could prevent or even circumvent his death, elevating him to an eternal state—a literal god between two worlds.
Another direct example: “Light Yagami will die peacefully at 3:00 AM, after the world accepts him as its God. After his death, he will be reborn as a Shinigami, retaining his consciousness and absolute power over death.” This is technically within the rules of the notebook, which accepts specific instructions about what happens until the final moment of death. And since the notebook belongs to the Shinigami world, there is a real chance that it could corrupt or override the rules of the afterlife.
The simple fact that Light writes his own “deification” in the Death Note is already a form of self-deification. If no one intervened, and if he accurately wrote a script of death and rebirth (as the Hindu or Egyptian gods do in myths), he would be using the gods' tool to become one of them.
