He changed Tiwat

"Actually, I think you know in your heart—which one is truly good to you, Niwa Nagahide, who gave you his 'heart' and treated you like family, and that 'doctor' from the Fools' who talks about 'experiments' and treats 'hearts' like toys..."

"enough!"

The "scattered soldiers" interrupted the divine child.

"That's enough... I already know... Don't... Don't say anymore..."

The divine child stared at him without saying a word.

The "scattered soldier" lowered his head deeply—this was the first time in his life that he had avoided eye contact with anyone.

Guilt, regret, and anger at his own foolishness... these emotions filled his heart.

“...Those who died in Tasha, those who were connected to me, should have lived a different life.”

"If I could, I would wish I had never been born..."

"Why...why...did you create me...?"

"Heh...hehehe..."

The "scattered soldier" muttered under his breath, and in the end, all that remained was a series of bitter laughs.

"How ridiculous... I used to think that all mortals lived in delusion, that only I saw through everything and transcended everything... But it turns out... I also lived in delusion, and was deceived more thoroughly than anyone else... Ha..."

He fell into the "Doctor's" scheme four hundred years ago. How many "experiments" did he cooperate with the "Doctor" in during those four hundred years? One hundred times? Two hundred times? He was even cooperating with the "Doctor" in the "ascension to godhood" experiment until recently.

Why wouldn't he remember meeting "The Doctor" in Inazuma? Of course, it's because "The Doctor" altered his memory.

So, was his goal of "becoming a god" implanted in his mind by someone else?

His memories are false... and by extension, his life is false too...

He is still a "puppet", only he has changed from an abandoned, nameless puppet to a puppet called "Scrapped Soldier".

The "scatterer's" pristine white hunting robe slowly turned black, as if ink had been accidentally spilled on the clothes and then spread out.

This is a sign that his negative emotions are eroding his soul, and it is also a sign that his "ego" is wavering.

When he begins to deny his own existence, his soul will be worn down, and eventually... his soul may really disappear.

“Regret and self-loathing won’t solve the problem. If you feel indebted to them, why not think about ‘atonement’?” the divine child said calmly.

Five hundred years of time, five hundred years of human life, had long since made her accustomed to the joys and sorrows of life. While she might not have reached a state of perfect tranquility, she was at least not easily swayed by the emotions of others.

The primary foundation for cultivating "telepathy" is the ability to control one's own mind, using one's own mind as a mirror to reflect all things.

The "scattered soldier" finally raised his head: "But they're all dead... Niwa, Katsuragi, Nagamasa, Miyazaki, and Kaedehara Yoshiyoshi... they're all dead... their souls have long since entered the cycle of reincarnation, and they no longer remember anything about me..."

The divine child replied, “Their descendants are still alive. Since your ‘revenge’ has fallen on the descendants of the ‘Five Transmissions of Thunder and Lightning,’ then your ‘atonement’ should also fall on them.”

The "scattered soldier" finally understood the divine child's meaning: "What...do you want me to do?"

“It’s not what I want you to do, but what you should do,” the divine child said slowly.

The "scattered soldier" paused for a moment.

Not long ago, he had made a profound statement to Han Fu about "beasts carrying loads and tigers with long manes," which was completely ironic.

Ironically, he was now completely unable to refute the claim... He was merely a pack animal who thought himself a tiger with long manes.

Is this what 'cause and effect' means?

The divine child nodded: "Yes, this is 'cause and effect.' 'Cause' brings 'effect'... 'Sin' accumulates into 'karma.' This 'karma' binds you, preventing you from being freed. If you want to be freed, you must repay this 'karma.' Little one, you are eager to learn from the 'Red King,' but you are still far from the state of 'six entrances to clarity'—even the 'Red King' had to repay his 'karma' with his own body, what about you?"

"..."

The "scattered soldiers" remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"Please instruct me on how I should atone for my sins." He rarely used polite language.

A smile finally appeared on the goddess's face.

"Just like you once felt in Tabasha, the relationship between people is not a simple matter of 'borrowing' and 'returning'. Broken glass cannot be put back together, spilled water cannot be taken back, and what you owe cannot be made up for."

"It is precisely because some things cannot be undone or changed that human emotions exist. Emotions cannot be 'cleared up'."

“You used to look down on mortals in the cycle of reincarnation, thinking their lives were all fake... But now you should know that everything you feel is real, and emotions are the ‘reality’ that everyone possesses.”

"You should have heard the 'true voices' of the people of Inazuma."

"The 'Eye Hunting Order' and 'Land Seclusion Order' that you fools have instigated have forced the people of Haigi Island to utter their final roar. The muted cries of the people of Hachi-un Island... Narukami Island... have turned into thunder swirling above Inazuma Castle."

“You can’t make amends for the deceased, but you can create a better living environment for the living. Your ‘Pure Land’ and General Thunder’s ‘Pure Land of One Heart’ are of the same origin. I think you may have a way to break down the outer wall of ‘Pure Land of One Heart’—that’s the best compensation you can make for those people.”

"Bearing the past and creating the future, this is the behavior of humankind."

"You can choose—whether or not to become a human being."

"..."

The "scattered soldiers" fell silent once again.

Four hundred years ago, he longed to be human more than anyone else.

Four hundred years later, he gave up becoming human, thinking he could abandon human inferior emotions and ascend to the throne of gods... But fate played a joke on him at this moment, telling him that there was now an opportunity to become human.

It turns out that becoming human is such a simple thing—to take the emotions of this world as real is what it means to be human.

He raised his hand and touched his chest, feeling the complex emotions surging within him.

For the first time, he felt that he had a "heart".

Having withdrawn from the consciousness space of the "scattered soldiers," the divine child meditated for a long time.

Having used the Heavenly Fox Divine Power too many times in a short period of time, her body's strain had far exceeded its limits.

She just hoped it was all worth it.

The priest waved his sleeve, and several "wild geese" obediently ran out, huffing and puffing as they carried the broken doll body of the "scattered soldier" into the room of Narukami Shrine—his body had not yet been repaired, and his soul had also suffered damage, so he was temporarily useless—this was because the priest himself had struck him with lightning.

However, it wasn't something that could be done in just a few days anyway.

In order to break down the "wall of the heart" of Lei's movie and pull her back from the wrong path, Shenzi has been planning for more than ten years, so one or two more days won't make a difference.

But... if it goes on any longer, it might not work.

"...Only that blond little guy is missing."

The goddess sat lazily under the cherry blossom tree, not wanting to move at all.

She thought back to when she was still a child.

At that time, she was just a little fool, following the wise and beautiful Lady Bai Chen to pay homage to His Highness the General.

She stumbled and pounced into the general's arms like a hawker in the snow, hoping to win his attention... Ironically, it was precisely because of this clumsy fearlessness that she gained his favor.

And so, she gained the small honor of serving that Prince Raiden Shin, warming her hands and feet.

This was also the beginning of her friendship with the general's sister, Lei Yingdian, who later became her close friend.

"I will not fish in stagnant water, but release deer into the deep mountains for longevity. I fear that sweeping the floor will harm the lives of ants, and I will cover the lamp with gauze to protect the moths that fly away." The divine child recited a poem softly.

The poem that Sister Gan Yu wrote for her.

It is said that the Qilin clan is quiet and elegant, and has never liked killing. They even eat only auspicious grains and sweet dew. It took the divine son a lot of effort to find sea lingzhi for her.

The little fox was an omnivore and found it hard to understand the preference for vegetarianism. Ordinary humans and wild animals obviously could not comprehend the "love" of immortals and gods. What was the point of not eating meat? Wasn't it just a kind of self-comforting constraint?

But now, she can understand the deliciousness of fried tofu, and she also realizes that Sister Ganyu and Prince Leidian are actually very similar—perhaps this is why she likes Sister Ganyu.

That Lord Raiden loved this world more than anyone else, and loved those fleeting lives.

Ah Ying, why don't you understand?

"In these few hundred short years, I have also traveled the world in many identities. Although I have never been fortunate enough to form a good relationship with ordinary people, I know the beauty of people very well. Your Highness, whom I dare to regard as a close friend, must have had endless time to travel around this imperfect world and enjoy the pleasures of love, hate, separation and reunion."

"What a pity..."

Beneath the sacred cherry tree, Yae no Miko quietly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Chapter 152 Three Thousand Mauser Elite Soldiers [4k]

The rebels' raid on the Fools' Evil Eye Factory was a huge success.

The Evil Eye production line set up by the Winter Kingdom on Bayun Island was completely destroyed, and the evidence of the human experiments conducted by the Fools in the factory was also well preserved.

Some members of the Fools who were lucky enough to survive the sword of the Firefly were also spotted by Paimon, the "spy satellite" flying in the sky, as they escaped through the emergency passage—this was a great achievement.

Before these two "wind-like men," Hirazo Kanoin and Manyo Kaedehara, none of these people could escape and all became prisoners.

Now, with witnesses and evidence of the foolish people's instigation of war and their atrocities against the Inazuma people in Haiji Island, and the righteous cause of "punishing the guilty and rescuing the people," Haiji Island can finally hold its head high.

Meanwhile, Yingmei, the captain of the "Swordfish Second Division" and the new general of Umiji Island, has added another title to her martial legend: "Universal Strength, Archery Skill, and Indestructibility": "Peerless in Umiji".

In the legends of the resistance, General Ying single-handedly stormed into the stronghold of the Fools, fighting against a hundred men single-handedly, causing blood to flow like a river in the factory, and using the blood of the enemy to commemorate the heroic souls of his fallen comrades, truly deserving the title of "unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness".

The prisoners were so terrified at the mere mention of General Ying's name that they would wet themselves in fear and would wake up from nightmares filled with the terrifying memories of that day. His reputation was truly "unparalleled."

The most terrifying thing is that when General Ying came out of the factory, his sword was stained with blood, but he didn't have a drop of blood on his body and wasn't injured at all!

This is even more exaggerated than the "King of Dongshan" back then; it is absolutely "unparalleled in the sea!"

However, Yingmei, who had made great contributions and become a living legend, was not very happy.

Her friend Teppei died, and Kochoji's father also died... She regretted that she couldn't catch the Fool's Enforcer who was responsible for these things.

The factory manager, "Lady," and the person in charge of the experiment, "Doctor," are both on Ying's kill list.

Xingqiu was also in a heavy mood, not only because she had witnessed those unbearable "specimens" in the factory, but also because of the letter she found from Tianling Fengxing.

Almost all the villagers of Hikimura died in a premeditated massacre... and the ones who killed them were the Tenryo magistrate who distributed leaflets and claimed to protect them, the Inazuma shogunate that was supposed to protect them.

She couldn't help but wonder, does such a country and such a government really have any value in continuing to exist?

The Fools, who have committed countless crimes, and the Winter Queen who controls them, and the Winter Kingdom under her rule... how will she treat this country and its people in the future?

Is this country like Inazuma?

If I were in the position of Brother Han and Sister Gan Yu, or in the position of my father, Ning Guang, and Ke Qing... what should I do?

Many things seem superficial when read in books, merely fleeting and without real impact. But once you see them with your own eyes and experience them firsthand, the feeling is entirely different.

For the first time in his life, Xingqiu began to try to think about his position from a higher level and what he could do. If Gan Yu knew that the most outstanding junior of the Yun family had also begun to enter the "thinking realm of the Liyue Seven Stars", she would probably feel gratified.

Han Fulai was also not in a very good mood.

Logically speaking, this time he not only destroyed the Fools' Evil Eye Factory and ruined the "Doctor's" experimental plan, but also defeated the Fools' executive officer "Scattered Soldiers". Moreover, judging from the God Child's intentions, it is not impossible for him to seal "Scattered Soldiers" or even "turn them into the enemy".

It can be said that this battle against the Fools was a complete victory for him.

Moreover, he successfully made contact with Yae no Miko and obtained a lot of valuable new information, which is something to be happy about.

—But the problem lies in the new information brought by the divine child.

He had made thorough preparations before heading to Inazuma.

To this day, he can still boast that "every step has been within my calculations." His approach to the Inazuma situation and his control over the course of the war have been "perfect" to date.

According to the original plan, the next step was to attack "Kujou Jinya" and then advance to Narukami Island—like this, using the "Keqing tactic" to gradually erode the shogunate's controlled territory... Once the Raiden General is forced out, these things can be used as bargaining chips at the negotiating table to secure the greatest benefits for him and Liyue.

According to the plot he knew, the god Rai Movie wasn't actually that attached to the land of Inazuma and the secular regime, and it seemed that after the war, he didn't make Shinkai return the land of Hachiun Island that he had occupied... There was a high possibility that the "Haiji Special Zone" could be built.

Moreover, he currently holds evidence of the crimes committed by the Heavenly Order Envoy and the Fools. Once he forces Lei Yingdian out of "Issue no Soto" (a place of pure and sincere desire), he will directly present her with evidence: the "Sui Shen" (a deity associated with evil spirits), the "Mikage Furnace," the Evil Eye Factory, and the residents of Hishiki Village...

In addition, he is the "successor of the Rock God" and possesses the fertilizer technology of the Salt God, which can solve the food problem of the rice farmers... As long as Lei Yingdong is still in his right mind, he will naturally know who to chop with the knife.

The biggest risk he had to take was simply getting slashed by that general puppet.

Judging from the combat strength of the "Scattered Soldiers" dolls of the same model, he can definitely withstand this blow... and might even steal the limelight from Manyo.

Then, give Lei Film a way out by using the pretext of "the emperor's inner circle being purged" under the guise of "the emperor's inner circle being purged" to save face for Lei Film, so that all kinds of cooperation can be discussed in the future.

So far, almost everything has gone according to plan.

But Yae no Miko's words made him realize that this world really doesn't follow the "script".

This ridiculous movie isn't about being withdrawn in "Pure Land of One Heart," it's about "ascending to godhood"!

She wanted to become the new God of Heaven and establish Inazuma as a "perpetual paradise"!

The "Eye Hunting Order" and the "Lockdown Order" are said to have been instigated by the Fools and the Heavenly Executioners, but in reality, the movie version of the film tacitly approved of them, because these two orders could help her get closer to "eternity"!

He genuinely wanted to break the "closed-door policy," which, in Lei's view, was an obstruction of "eternity," making him an "eternal enemy."

This means that what he is facing is not the knife of the puppet general—but the real Thor, the "Eternal God" of the "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World," Thor's "Unthinking Knife."

He now had to ask himself, "Should I go...? Me, a 'thunder movie'? Huh... really?"
