A Chapter of Sacrifice: The Boy Who Drove the Thunder Bird Mad, Raiden Shogun Ei Slays a Demon God-and the Giant Sea Serpent Awakens!

However, this heartwarming scene was completely shattered by what happened next.

Out of reverence and worship for the Lightning Bird, the indigenous people of He Guan Island decided to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony and offer what they considered to be the "most precious" offerings.

The one chosen was the boy whom Lightning Bird considered his only confidant.

Surrounded by the fervent throng of his people, amidst shouts of "For the Gods!", the boy was led to the altar. He didn't understand; he simply wanted to sing for his friends.

The scene didn't directly depict the bloody moment, but when the Lightning Bird descended again as promised, all it saw was the shocking bloodstains on the altar and the ecstatic, self-satisfied smiles on the faces of its people.

They shouted, offering their "most beautiful songs" to the Gods.

At that moment, the entire Divine Realm fell silent.

Everyone saw that the Lightning Bird in the sky had frozen in place.

The world seemed to have been muted.

There was no more singing.

We'll never hear it again.

The next second, indescribable sorrow and anger transformed into earth-shattering thunder!

Purple lightning rained down like a storm, tearing the earth apart, evaporating the ocean, and completely erasing the entire He Guan Island, along with all life on it, from the map!

That wasn't a trial; it was a friend's most desperate cry after losing his only treasure.

"No..." Xiao Xiao's face turned deathly pale instantly; she couldn't accept this outcome.

"These idiots! What have they done!" Zhou Weiqing slammed his fist on the ground in anger, his eyes turning red.

This time, Tian Hen didn't criticize him; he simply remained silent, his face terribly grim. He could understand the anger of being betrayed by ignorance.

"Ignorance... is more terrifying than evil." Tang San slowly uttered a few words, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. He recalled the foolish men and women of his previous life, who would do anything crazy for the sake of so-called "Divine Decree".

"They killed God's friend, and yet they dared to hope for God's favor?" Gu Yuena's golden eyes were filled with cold mockery. "How laughable, and how pathetic, humanity."

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, she had seen far too many humans like this.

Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, could more clearly feel the overwhelming sorrow in the picture. It was not just anger, but despair as if the whole world had collapsed.

"It just... wants to hear that song one more time," Ye Yinzhu murmured softly. As the Qin Emperor, he understood best how precious the bond formed by music was. His wife, Zi, the dragon girl from another race, felt the same way and silently tightened her grip on his hand.

After destroying He Guan Island, the Lightning Bird's rage did not subside. It transformed into endless thunderstorms, which began to spread towards Inazuma's homeland, bringing this sorrow and destruction to the entire country.

This is the origin of one of those "external enemies".

Faced with this natural disaster that carried endless sorrow and Will of Destruction, a golden bolt of lightning shot into the sky from the Tenshukaku.

It's Raiden Shogun Ei.

She didn't say anything more, just quietly watched the Lightning Bird howling wildly in the thunderstorm.

Perhaps she gleaned from that extreme anger a profound sense of sorrow.

But she is Inazuma's protector.

She couldn't let this sorrow destroy the kingdom her sister dreamed of.

[The One Hundred Thousand]

A purple blade of light, powerful enough to cleave space itself, traversed the sky.

The raging thunderclouds were split in two, and the mournful Lightning Bird vanished in the light.

it's all over.

Raiden Shogun Ei silently sheathed her sword, turned, and left. No one saw her expression, but everyone felt a sense of heaviness from her lonely figure.

She slew not only the Demon God that plagued Inazuma.

It was also a sorrowful soul destroyed by ignorance.

"So... that's how it is..." Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He had thought this would be a battle between good and evil, but he never expected such a heavy tragedy to be behind it.

"This is not conquest, it is... pacification," Chang Gongwei said in a deep voice. As a former Son of Light, he understood that sometimes, in order to protect more people, the most painful choices had to be made.

"That Lightning Bird wasn't inherently evil," A'Dai, formerly known as the Mandun the God of Death, unusually speaking. "It was human ignorance that drove it to become an evil god."

"The price is too high." Hai Long shook his head, his face full of regret.

"So, this is one of the reasons she wants to establish ' Eternity '?" A thought flashed through Tang Wulin's mind. "Because people's hearts are fickle, and ignorance and folly can breed such tragedies. That's why she wants an absolutely unchanging, absolutely correct Order to prevent all of this from repeating itself?"

These words shocked everyone present!

Yes!

If the natives of He Guan Island hadn't been so ignorant, if they had been able to understand that friendship instead of interpreting God's will with their narrow-minded understanding, this tragedy wouldn't have happened!

Raiden Shogun Ei are not only confronting the Demon God themselves, but also the root cause of these tragedies—the vicissitudes and ignorance of the human heart!

"Stop killing with killing, use swift and decisive measures to nip all tragedies in the bud..." The Dragon God's majestic voice resonated in everyone's hearts, tinged with a hint of approval, "What great courage!"

"But this is too... too lonely," Tang Ya said softly, looking at Raiden Shogun Ei's back in the picture, and thinking of the years when she was Domination by hatred.

Bei Bei pulled her into her arms and gently comforted her.

"There's no other way; this is what the supreme ruler must bear," Emperor Dai Hao said coldly. As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, he knew better than anyone that he was all alone on the throne.

Xue Ye nodded in deep agreement.

"Forcibly erasing grief with force doesn't seem like the best solution." He Caitou; even this honest and burly man saw the contradiction in the situation.

"But under those circumstances, she had no other choice." Xu Sanshi put away his usual playful demeanor and said seriously, "Letting the Lightning Bird's rage spread would only lead to a greater tragedy."

Niu Tian and Tai Tan, two giants, exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes. They had dedicated their lives to fighting for their sects and their people, and they knew the weight of the word "protection." What Raiden Shogun Ei was protecting was a nation.

"What was she thinking when she made that strike?" Ning Tian couldn't help but ask.

No one can answer this question.

But they all understood that that cut would be anything but easy.

The images Light Screen didn't give everyone much time to feel sentimental.

After the story of Lightning Bird came to an end, the scene shifted again, focusing on the deep sea.

The enormous, jet-black serpent, as massive as a mountain range, coiled on the seabed, slowly opened its eyes!
