What he says is not actually true, Light Yagami uses his magical weapon of indiscriminate slaughter to murder all those who disagree with him. He has this deluded notion that he is a god of justice and goes about raising himself by slaughtering everyone he perceives as being a criminal - not that there is any judgment actually involved, anyone suspected of a crime is automatically guilty. And Light or his loyal thralls are exempt from this as well. Of course he also executes anybody who actually stands in his way. A lot of innocents get murdered for refusing to submit to the worship of Kira, notably world leaders, he also murders anybody investigating him that he cannot directly control. His objective all along was to be perceived as a god. And he achieves this through mass murder.
Death Note is one, really the only, anime series I ever got into at all and while the whole 'power corrupts' thing is the whole point of Light's character I wouldn't take as a given that all fans view him as 'evil', well-intentioned megalomaniac zealot but not quite Sith Lord. He could fit a vig role, or, obviously, a serial killer... and I think he's arguably a little cleaner than Deadpool and well, I was wrong about that. I would view Light as a high-prob scummer... but... I'm getting a hint that we may have more than one person from some settings, and if we do, and we have two death note characters, their identity is probably pretty obvious and while that could just be cop and DF, it could also be SK and anti-SK, arsonist/firefighter setup. If we don't have multiple people from a setting, then Light could conceivably be a vig instead of a scummer of some sort, though I'd not hold my breath on it obviously.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
