Raiden Ei

??????

Everyone stared at the enormous serpent with question marks written all over their faces.

What kind of monster was that?

Could it be a legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Or was it Raiden Ei's true form?

The image rapidly pulled back from its close-up. The serpent, as huge as a skyscraper, slowly approached an island, while the people on it fled in all directions.

The people of Douluo Continent looked at one another, utterly unable to tell what the sky screen was trying to show them.

Yu Xiaogang said, "That serpent must be Her true form. According to legend, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts can take human form."

As soon as he said it, everyone voiced their agreement.

"Her true form is terrifying indeed!"

"I think so too."

"That's horrifying. It's so enormous! A casual sweep of its tail could probably destroy an entire city."

"It really is huge."

"..."

Raiden Ei: "..."

She had simply opened the Douluo chat group to pass the time while eating sweets, since she had nothing else to do.

She hadn't expected the people here to mistake the Archon...

Right, what was that Archon's name again?

She couldn't quite remember.

After all, it had been a thousand years ago.

Raiden Ei ate her sweets as she searched her memory.

Only after a long while did she remember.

He seemed to be called the Archon Orobashi!

"Forget it. It doesn't matter."

"I'd rather eat the sweets I just bought in Heaven Dou City."

Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yue Na and Di Tian could not help falling into deep thought.

The serpent in the image was Raiden Ei's true form.

"Compared to me at my peak, She is at least as strong, if not stronger."

"If She isn't human, that's good news for our Soul Beast Clan," Gu Yue Na said.

"My lord, what does that mean?" Xiong Jun's face was full of question marks.

Gu Yue Na said, "The Douluo God Realm has a rule that prevents the Soul Beast Clan from becoming gods."

"The gods of the Douluo God Realm and the Dragon God are natural enemies."

Di Tian said, "My lord, could She possibly be a companion of the Dragon God?"

Although Di Tian was the Dragon God's grandson, the Dragon God's time had passed far too long ago-hundreds of thousands of years ago—and he did not know much about those matters.

The Silver Dragon King was a part of the Dragon God, so she was sure to know.

If She was the Dragon God's companion, it would be wonderful news for their Dragon Clan.

"I have no such memories."

"But it's possible."

"I can't be certain." Gu Yue Na shook her head. She also hoped that She was on their side.

Unfortunately, her memories contained no record of any such thing.

It was also possible that those memories had been lost when the Dragon God split apart.

She was only one part of the Dragon God and did not possess all of the Dragon God's memories, unless she fused with the other part, the Golden Dragon King.

"Archon Orobashi... You invaded my Inazuma and harmed my people."

"This body promised its people a dream."

"With this blade, I grant you, for a thousand generations, unchanging and unmoving-"

"Eternity."

A majestic voice rang out between heaven and earth.

Everyone on Douluo Continent realized it at once!

The earlier speculation that the serpent was Her was instantly overturned.

As it turned out,

She was going to fight the serpent.

Gu Yue Na and Di Tian's emotions shot up like a rocket, leaving them with a jumble of feelings.

The theory that the serpent was Her had been overturned, which meant the theory that She was the Dragon God's companion had been overturned as well.

"She's going to slay that serpent."

"So this is a battle between gods. It's completely rewritten my view of the world." Most of the people on Douluo Continent could not help speaking up.

Celestia.

Inside the great hall.

Lin Feng could not help saying, "Was Raiden Ei really this chuunibyou a thousand years ago?"

Little Paimon said, "Silent Bottle, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?"

"And what does 'chuunibyou' mean?"

"Why do you always say strange idioms that I don't understand?"

"Oh, right, right! Aren't you curious?"

Lin Feng asked, "Curious about what?"

Little Paimon said, "What reward the sky screen will give Raiden Ei, of course!"

Lin Feng thought for a moment.

He smiled without speaking.

Clearly, he already had an answer in mind.

Seeing that Lin Feng had gone silent again, Little Paimon said, "You wretched riddler, you've stopped talking again."

"I'm going to give you an ugly nickname. I'll call you Silent Bottle."

Lin Feng: "..."

The sky screen continued to change, and a towering figure appeared within it.

She rested one hand on her blade, lightning flashing in her purple eyes.

She wore purple robes, and her face was aloof and majestic. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with faint lightning flickering through it.

The sheath of the Musou Isshin at her waist was covered in obscure lightning patterns.

A diamond-shaped violet thunderlight shone behind Her, suspended in the sky like the light of the eternal moon.

At first glance, She was so majestic.

At second glance, She was so cool.

At third glance, She was so imposing.

Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong gazed at the figure standing in midair and could not help becoming lost in thought.

Was this the pressure of a god?

If she had possessed such strength when she was young, how could Qian Xunji ever have dared set his sights on her?

Even seen from a distance, Raiden Ei's bearing and appearance in the sky screen perfectly embodied the word "god."

Bibi Dong was not the only one lost in thought. Tang Hao was too.

Imposing and mighty.

How strong must She be?

The gap between the giant serpent on the sky screen and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts he had seen was like the difference between an elephant and an ant.

If he had possessed half Her strength back then,

how could Ah Yin have been forced to sacrifice herself because of the damned Spirit Hall?

He could have stormed Spirit Hall and exacted his revenge long ago.

How could he have been forced to hide from place to place?

"That's what I should become."

Tang San looked at Raiden Ei on the sky screen, his eyes filled with intense longing.

As a transmigrator,

he possessed Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, and the Tang Sect Secret Arts.

His original goal had been to become a Titled Douluo and carve out a place for himself on Douluo Continent.

After seeing Raiden Ei on the sky screen,

his ambition soared to new heights.

To hell with being a Titled Douluo.

He would become a god.

"Could the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons help against someone like Her?" Tang San fell into deep thought.

The Tang Sect Hidden Weapons were one of his greatest trump cards.

He was confident he could use them against a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo.

But against a terrifying being like Her, who could casually walk through the air and slay a giant serpent, he had no confidence at all.

Her strength had completely redefined his idea of what it meant to be strong.

Unlike Tang San,

Yu Xiaogang was frantically recording everything on the sky screen.

He said he did not believe gods existed,

but his actions were very honest indeed.

This was super-invincible material that could help him perfect his theories.

Another scene appeared on the sky screen.

"Roar!!!"

The Archon Orobashi roared in Raiden Ei's direction.
