People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

Xin Hai remained silent for a moment in response to the words of the stragglers.

Finally, she pieced together the jumbled clues and slowly began to speak:

"What will you do if I disagree?"

"hehe."

Upon hearing Coral Palace Heart Sea's words, the Scattered Soldier did not immediately respond; instead, he let out a near-manic laugh.

The manic behavior made both Coral Palace Kokoro and Goro frown, and for a moment they felt a kind of indescribable sense of disorientation, and even got goosebumps all over their bodies.

"If you disagree, your fate is quite simple."

As the soldier slowly extended his right hand, an indescribable aura of thunder enveloped it, transforming into a sharp blade of death that slowly crept up his back!

"I will grant you a merciless death, nothing more..."

"..."

Upon hearing the words of the stragglers, Coral Palace Heart Sea looked bewildered.

After a while, she took a deep breath and made her final decision...

……

Under the cherry blossom tree.

Raiden, whose face was completely distorted, revealed a 'brilliant' smile. Countless dark substances kept emerging from her body, radiating a strange oppressive force.

General Raiden and Yae no Miko couldn't even get close to this area, because the dark matter that had accumulated under the Divine Cherry Tree for hundreds of years was completely detonated when the lightning actually appeared.

If that enormous, dark substance cannot be dealt with, the final result will inevitably be that it will engulf the entire Inazuma!

"What should we do?"

Yae no Miko's expression darkened; she had completely lost her composure and was utterly affected by the chaotic scene before her, her face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

In contrast, General Thunder kept his eyes fixed on Ron's direction.

After seeing Raiden Shin say those words to Ron, she felt a strange ripple in her heart.

At this moment, I am intently focused on everything in front of me, not wanting to miss a single detail...

In front of Ron.

Raiden Shin emerged step by step from the Divine Cherry Tree, his twisted form filled with strange substances, his burning eyes fixed on the man before him, softly murmuring.

"My husband, I miss you so much."

"Throughout this long time, I have been searching for you."

"But I still can't find you!"

"You must give me a reasonable answer today... and then beg me for forgiveness!"

"Hehe, hehehehe..."

After being contaminated by the black substance, Raiden's personality has undergone a significant change.

The once gentle and kind god of thunder, who saved the world, is now completely consumed by twisted selfish desires, his whole body covered with ugly humanity.

Ron was being stared at intently by the other party. Although he did not feel any obvious pressure, he still felt a little guilty for some reason.

He realized that the tragedy was all due to his inaction back then, his failure to give the other party a clear answer.

"I'm so... sorry." Ron said slowly, "It was indeed my fault for leaving without saying goodbye. I beg for your forgiveness."

"Haha, really?"

Raiden's dark red eyes stared at the man before him, his tongue slowly licking his lips as if he were craving something. "But I will not forgive you. I will make you pay the price! I will make you feel the same pain as me!"

"..."

Seeing Raiden's current state, Ron realized that the other's soul had been completely corrupted.

Due to the impact of the Battle of Kanria, the opponent's soul had been immersed in dark matter for a long time, and the pollution had penetrated to the bone marrow.

Her obsession had become so deep that it was ingrained in her soul; no one could stop her hatred and her desire for revenge.

In this situation, what Ron should do is take out his weapon and use his strongest Heavenly Fire Sword to completely annihilate and shatter the fallen demonic soul in one strike!

The only consequence of doing this is that the mission will fail, nothing more...

No one will say anything about what he did.

However, Ron did not do that. He did not use his weapon, nor did he make any fighting moves. He just silently watched the woman in front of him and walked step by step towards Raiden Shin!

Seeing this scene, not only Raiden General and Yae no Miko, but even Raiden Shin himself couldn't help but show some confusion and fall into deep chaos.

Chapter 147 If you think I'm a scumbag, then I am!

After a brief moment of thought, Ron had already come up with a plan to deal with the corrupted Raiden Shin.

First, he ruled out the possibility of killing Raiden Shin directly by force.

After all, doing so would result in the complete death of the lightning, and with its soul shattered, it would be difficult for [Necromancer Resurrection] to reunite the opponent's soul.

In this way, not only will the mission fail, but an opportunity to upgrade one's professional skill level will also be lost for nothing.

Most importantly, Ron himself didn't want to kill Raiden Shin with his own hands, to kill his former friend...

Yes, in Ron's heart, Lightning was truly one of his friends.

The time he spent with Inazuma was also a vivid memory for him, one that he couldn't easily erase from his mind.

Although the time he spent with the Raiden Shin and Raiden sisters was simple, it was full of memories, and the two sisters were important people to him that he could not easily give up.

During his long journey through time, Ron experienced all sorts of things, which made his emotions much more detached than those of ordinary people.

He rarely experiences emotional changes due to anything.

But precisely because of this, Ron takes almost every relationship he has seriously.

He didn't want his actions to cause unnecessary harm to those important to him...

So, without taking out any weapons, Ron calmly walked towards Raiden's direction and silently said, "You want me to feel the same pain as you?"

“That’s right, I have to do it!” Raiden’s eyes glowed with an unusual red light, and he exuded a bewitching aura. “For nearly a thousand years, I have experienced pain. This pain is engraved in my soul, trapping me in an endless cycle of agony! Today, I must make you experience the same pain as me. Even if I tear your body apart, it will not be a fraction of what I have felt!”

"..."

Lei Dian's words, etched deeply into the soul, resonated throughout the scene, radiating a power that seemed almost etched into the very marrow of his bones.

Ron's expression remained unchanged. He silently looked at the woman in front of him, whom he had wronged for thousands of years, without showing any remorse. Instead, he displayed an indifferent attitude.

"Really? Then you're going to be disappointed."

"what?"

"I will never experience the same pain as you, because I will never invest too much emotion in anyone, and I will never fall in love with anyone but myself."

"you……"

Ron's calm words caused Raiden's expression to waver drastically.

Her expression twisted slightly, and she spoke through gritted teeth, "So you never loved me, did you?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think I would really fall in love with you?" Ron said calmly. "That's just the kind of person I am. Love or hate, it's all just fleeting clouds to me... Even if something happened in the past, that's all in the past. I've almost forgotten those things now, let alone remember a woman from so long ago. It's all just your wishful thinking."

"..."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, Raiden's expression fell silent.

Her expression darkened, and an indescribable madness began to spread in her heart, eventually manifesting as a turbulent, dark current surging like a raging sea.

"So this is what kind of person you are... So you've always been this kind of person..."

"Yes, that's the kind of person I am. You're just too foolish to see my true colors."

"Shut up!!!"

Raiden roared furiously, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!!"

"What? Can't accept reality?" Ron stared at Raiden's madness, further provoking his emotions. "So it seems you haven't truly let go of everything after all, but instead cling to the same naivety as before..."

"you you……"

Raiden didn't know how to answer for a moment. She stared intently in Ron's direction, her crimson eyes completely shrouded in hatred and madness.

She spoke with a mixture of anger and sorrow: "Why?! I've been watching you the whole time, giving you everything, even wanting you to be the master of Inazuma, why won't you even look at me..."

“Who knows?” Ron waved his hand. “What do your thoughts mean to me? It’s all just wishful thinking on your part, your self-righteousness! I’ve never said what I’m thinking, and you’ve never directly said what you’re thinking either. How could I develop any real feelings for you just because of your one-sided efforts?”

“You…” Raiden remained silent, his expression gradually becoming more and more suppressed, like a storm about to erupt.

She may have imagined a hundred different reactions from Ron, but she never imagined that he would be such a heartless and ruthless person.

Just because it wasn't said directly, does that mean it never happened?

"You scumbag!!"

"Is that so? If you think I'm a jerk, then so be it," Ron said calmly. "After all, this is just your own opinion, and it won't become reality."

"..."

Ron's words shattered Raiden's last shred of hope, and completely destroyed her already corrupted and distorted rationality!

As she went completely mad, Raiden suddenly raised his right hand.

Dark energy swept in from all directions, engulfing Ron's direction.

The man's figure vanished quickly, and the familiar aura gradually faded away!

"Ron?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, General Thunder's eyes instinctively turned bloodshot, and rage filled her entire being, making her wish she could rush forward and completely obliterate Thunder!

When Yae Shinko first saw Raiden Shin being corrupted, she was in a state of confusion, but as Ron talked to Raiden Shin, she gradually realized what Ron was thinking.

She immediately stopped General Thunder and continued to watch what was happening in the distance.

Raiden witnessed Ron's disappearance, her heart filled with confusion and loss. She had originally thought this outcome would be satisfying, but what followed was intense sorrow and despair.

The grief at this moment is even greater than in the past.
