While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

"Paimon thinks so too, that guy is definitely going to win!"

Paimon was huddled up in the rain, but her tone was unusually firm.

From Mondstadt to Liyue and then to Inazuma, she witnessed him turn the impossible into the possible.

This time will be no exception.

On the high seas, the form of the battle has exceeded all expectations.

A gray, golden-armored giant was wielding a giant sword at an illogical speed.

Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Susanoo.

Its arms were wreathed in an inextinguishable blue gale and purple thunder.

Every swing of the sword creates towering waves on the sea.

Opposite it was an equally enormous purple lightning giant.

The giant's form was even more solid than Susanoo's; every inch of its outline was pure lightning element, without any superfluous structure.

In its hand lay the Dream of One Heart, magnified to the size of a giant, the lightning on its blade so intense it no longer flickered.

That was the state of lightning condensed to its extreme, like purple glass.

The two giants swung their swords at the same time.

Boom! Boom!

The two giant swords collided in mid-air, and the force they unleashed dispersed all the rain clouds within a few miles, revealing a long-awaited clear sky.

Sunlight streamed down from the cloud-pierced opening, illuminating the entirety of the two giants.

Susanoo in gray-gold armor, and the Thunder God Armor radiating purple lightning.

They faced off for a moment in the sunlight, then simultaneously raised their swords and charged at each other once more.

Xu Chuan was breathing heavily inside Susanoo.

Two dark red streaks of blood flowed from the edges of his scarlet eyes—the body's response to the overloaded operation of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Through the transparent outer layer of Susanoo, he looked at Lei Yingdian, who was controlling the purple giant.

In particular, when the warm, protective power emanating from the amulet began to fade from his body.

The immense pressure came crashing down like a tangible hammer.

"Damn, are the plots of these terrible movies really that bad?"

Xu Chuan gritted his teeth and used Susanoo's giant sword to block the blade of Dream One Heart that was about to strike.

"This doesn't make sense."

He suddenly remembered a possibility, a conjecture he had come to during the fighting these past few days.

Lei's film wasn't serious at all when facing the Goddess and the Fire.

It wasn't that they were too weak, but rather that she subconsciously held back.

Just like the two of them, who previously considered the people of Inari who were not solely focused on the Pure Land.

But when facing Xu Chuan, Lei Yingdian had no such concerns.

She can unleash her ultimate martial arts skills and fighting instincts without reservation.

She is stronger now than ever before.

In fact, Lei Yingdian was also surprised by Xu Chuan's strength at this time.

By now, she had used at least 90% of her strength in the battle.

The preliminary state of the "Unthinking One-Slash" is the "Wheel of a Hundred Wishes" transforming into wings.

The celestial phenomena have been rewritten by her will, and every drop of seawater in this area is imbued with her lightning element.

Looking at the entire history of Inazuma, there are almost no people who can make her fight to this level.

But the person in front of me did not fall down.

On the contrary, they became stronger the more they fought.

He seems to have an inexhaustible supply of cards to play.

With the Heart of Thor and the blessing of the seven elements, if you can't win in close combat, you can create distance and clash with elemental forces.

Now he's even conjured up a gray giant clad in golden armor to confront her head-on.

And then there was that power she knew all too well.

Starting from the second day, Xu Chuan began to embody the wishes of the Inazuma people.

The power was initially very weak, like a candle flame.

But by the third day, it had turned into a raging inferno, engulfing his entire body.

Those were the accumulated prayers of Narukami Taisha Shrine, and the wishes suppressed beneath the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God statue.

At this moment, however, he used it to fight against himself.

This is simply unbelievable.

"Is that the only option left?"

As if telepathically connected, Lei Yingdian and Xu Chuan, two giants, retreated simultaneously at the same moment.

Xu Chuan chuckled softly and straightened his posture.

He wiped the blood and tears from his face, his scarlet eyes staring at the distant Lei movie through the dried blood.

There was no wavering or fear in those eyes, only a calm that showed resignation.

He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers spread.

Above his palm, an ice-blue crystal floated in his hand.

Then, specks of wish power surged from the amulet, flying into the crystal like fireflies returning to their nests.

The moment the power of will was injected, the entire crystal trembled violently, and an invisible wave spread out in all directions from it.

However, Xu Chuan did not stop.

The projection of the Frost Nail fragments is sufficient to deal with the Vortex Demon God Oser.

But before him stood Thor, one of the seven rulers of the mortal realm.

While maintaining Susanoo, Xu Chuan activated his right eye's pupil technique again—Reflecting the World Like a Shadow.

Crimson light shot out from the pupils, covering the crystals that began to deform and twist.

The power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan acted as a stabilizer at this moment.

The Heavenly Nail, which was already taking shape, gradually stabilized under the suppression of the pupil technique.

But this is not enough.

Xu Chuan slashed his arm, and blood dripped onto the crystal under the golden light.

He used blood as ink and golden light as a brush to begin outlining runes on the surface of the Heavenly Nail.

It combines the techniques of alchemy, talismans, and the complete understanding of external landscape techniques after obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He poured all his knowledge into this sky nail.

Countless complex runes appeared on the surface of the Heavenly Nail.

The patterns intertwine to form a dense array.

The array was forming faster and faster, releasing a terrifying pressure.

Xu Chuan gritted his teeth, and tears of blood welled up in his eyes again.

"Compared to my Heavenly Punishment Nail, which one, the true 'Thunderous Blade of No Thought,' would prevail?"

As for Lei Yingdian, before unleashing that thoughtless slash, she directly withdrew the boundless thunderstorm surrounding Inazuma.

The thick thunderclouds seemed to be parted by an invisible hand, revealing the clear blue sky behind them.

We're on the Death Star, which has just sailed from Liyue to the waters near Inazuma.

Beidou gripped the rudder with both hands, staring dumbfounded at the sky.

The sea surface was just now covered by dark clouds and thunder.

The sky is now clear and cloudless, and the sea is as calm as a mirror.

The thunderstorms that had kept her on tenterhooks for so long were gone just like that.

"Wanye, come here for a moment." Her voice sounded somewhat unnatural.

Wan Ye strode to the bow of the ship, but before he could ask what was wrong, Bei Dou reached out and pinched his arm hard.

"Ouch—why did you pinch me?!"

Wan Ye gasped in pain, and a red mark immediately appeared on his arm.

"It seems it wasn't a hallucination."

Beidou withdrew its hand and turned its gaze back to the unusually quiet sea in the distance.

A hint of unease surfaced in her eyes, which had weathered many storms.

"I have a very bad feeling."

At the same time, Lei's film entered a state of no thought or desire.

The massive blade grew increasingly bright.

The pale purple double-winged halo behind her fully unfolded at this moment, making her figure appear like a god descending to earth.

This is a state of extreme purity, in which no distracting thoughts can survive.

All she could see was the knife and the target she was about to cut.

The terrifying power emanating from the Heavenly Nail in Xu Chuan's hand was so powerful that even the seawater dared not approach it.

But none of this could shake Lei's films in the slightest.

In this state of no thought and no desire, she is the knife, and the knife is her.

This was a strike that embodied her own will and concentrated all her strength.

Before the blade was even drawn, the surrounding space began to distort and collapse, with shattered fragments of space scattering everywhere like ashes blown by the wind.

Xu Chuan's side is equally terrifying.

A nearly tangible nail of ice floated above Susanoo's head.

The space around the Heavenly Nail kept cracking and healing, as if even the space itself could not bear its existence.

"No thought, sever all!"

The moment the dream was shattered, the sound vanished.

The world fell into absolute silence.

Xu Chuan's Sky Nail was also unleashed at the same instant.

The moment the two forces collided head-on, the heavens and earth were emptied.

A beam of light, brighter than the sun, burst forth on the sea off Narukami Island, shooting straight into the sky.

The beam of light pierced through the clouds and across the sky, as if it were trying to reach the heavens.

The torrential rain that had lasted for several days was evaporated the moment the pillar of light rose, and the clouds over the surrounding area were swept away.

The blazing sun high in the sky could hardly rival the dazzling brilliance of the rapidly expanding sun on the sea.

Under its light, the faces of everyone on Narukami Island were turned deathly pale.

"Big Sister Beidou, look, at the end of the sea, another sun is rising!"

"Yeah, it's getting increasingly blinding!"

"Get your ass up and get moving!"

Beidou covered his eyes with one hand and frantically thrashed the rudder with the other.

A chill ran up her spine, making the hairs on her body stand on end.
