Raiden Shogun Ei Stands Alone Against the Monster Tide to Protect Inazuma; a Sword in Tenshukaku Speaks of a Final Farewell; Tang San: This Is a Warning from the Heavenly Principles

[A nation without Gods rule, a nation with a highly developed human civilization.]

[But they committed a taboo—they peered into the very foundations of the world and dabbled in the power of the Abyss.]

[And so, Divine Punishment descended.]

The image doesn't show any specific battle scene, only a line of cold text.

[Heavenly Principles has brought down Divine Punishment.]

"Heavenly Principles!"

Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.

It's that name again!

This time, it's no longer just a concept or a legend, but has been transformed into concrete action!

Destroy a nation!

"Just because... you peeked into the Abyss?" Gu Yuena's expression also turned serious.

As a former Dragon God, she knew all too well how strict the Laws of the world were. But to be destroyed simply for seeking knowledge—this tyranny went beyond the bounds of the Laws and resembled nothing more than a form of dictatorship!

[The decree of Heavenly Principles has reached the ears of all the Gods.]

[The Seven Gods were ordered to go to Kandria to carry out the Divine Punishment of destroying the kingdom.]

The image freezes on the Tenshukaku.

The gentle and graceful Raiden Shogun True, dressed in military attire, wore a solemn and sorrowful expression for the first time.

Before her stood Raiden Shogun Ei, holding a naginata, his expression resolute.

"I'll go." Raiden Shogun Ei's voice rang out for the first time on the Light Screen, cold and resolute.

"No, Shadow. You must stay." Raiden Shogun True shook her head, her voice still gentle, yet carrying an undeniable authority. "The destruction of Kandria will inevitably attract the corruption of the Abyss Power. Inazuma needs your protection."

"Your martial arts skills far surpass mine. You are more suited for this war than I am."

"But..."

"No buts." Raiden Shogun True interrupted her. "Protecting Inazuma is our promise. I will be responsible for creating and maintaining it, and you will be responsible for protecting and Eternity."

In the end, Raiden Shogun Ei remained silent.

She watched her sister embark on her journey to Kanri Gia.

That might have been the last time they met.

"It's... a forced conscription!"

In the God Realm Committee, the God of Destruction's face was ashen.

As a fellow God King, what he loathed most was the feeling of Domination a higher-level being.

"By the mandate of Heavenly Principles... In other words, in that world, even Gods of Raiden Shogun True's caliber cannot defy the command of Heavenly Principles."

The Godess of Kindness sighed softly.

"These are not Gods, they are clearly puppets of the laws of Heavenly Principles, even higher-level thugs!"

The hot-tempered Mad God Lei Xiang couldn't help but curse out loud.

"The elder sister rushes to the battlefield where she is doomed, while the younger sister stays behind to guard their homeland, which is being devoured by the Abyss..."

Lie Yan's eyes were a little red, and she held Ji Dong's hand tightly.

As a woman herself, she could deeply feel the pain and helplessness these two sisters were experiencing.

One reason was out of a sense of responsibility; he had no choice but to go.

One reason was that he had to stay because of a promise.

Whichever path you choose, it's a thorny road with no hope in sight.

All the gods in the Douluo God Realm fell silent.

They suddenly understood.

Now I understand why Raiden Shogun Ei strive for "Eternity".

What she experienced was watching helplessly as the other half of her body was pushed into the Abyss of destruction by an irresistible force.

What she was fighting against was not just the Wear of time, but also the "Heavenly Principles" that was high above, regarding all things as straw dogs, and could arbitrarily decide the life and death of a civilization or a Gods!

The "Eternity" she sought was to keep Inazuma forever in that peaceful and prosperous moment, and to ensure that her sister would never leave.

What a desperate, and yet so obsessive, long-cherished wish this is!

The image on the Light Screen changed again.

After Raiden Shogun True left, a dark, nauseating fog began to spread along the edge of the sea Inazuma.

The monsters of the Abyss surged forth from the dark rifts like a tidal wave, frantically crashing against the coastline of Inazuma.

Raiden Shogun Ei, alone, guards the border of the country with only a sword and a gun.

Her figure appeared so small in the face of the endless army of demons.

But her sword light transformed into a thunderous chasm that no demon could cross.

That loneliness and resolute determination, pierced the hearts of everyone through the Light Screen.

On the Light Screen, that solitary figure swung his sword countless times.

Lightning tore through the dark demonic tide, and purple electric snakes danced wildly along the coastline, turning any Abyssal Monster that dared to approach into charred remains.

Time lost its meaning as she wielded her knife.

One day, ten days, one month...

The dark fog finally showed signs of dissipating, and the monsters emerging from the rifts became sparse.

Only when the last twisted monster was annihilated in the lightning did the thunderous chasm that supported the entire Inazuma slowly dissipate.

Raiden Shogun Ei, leaning on his naginata, knelt amidst the mountain of monster remains. His armor was stained a deep purple, indistinguishable between the monster's blood and his own exhaustion.

She won.

He single-handedly protected the entire nation.

But there was no trace of joy of victory on her face.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Kandria, her purple eyes filled with endless anticipation and waiting.

Sister, it's time to come back.

However, the scene shifts.

Tenshukaku, Raiden Shogun Ei was still wearing his military uniform, only now it had been wiped clean.

Her sister's gentle figure was no longer before her.

Only one katana, meticulously cleaned yet still bearing the marks of battle, sat quietly on the sword rack.

That was Raiden Shogun True sword.

The Light Screen didn't display any footage of the battlefield of Kandria, but this scene was more heartbreaking than any bloody battle.

Raiden Shogun True, the Gods who gently made the promise and went to his death for the sake of responsibility, never returned.

She died in battle.

The God Realm Committee was deathly silent.

Lie Yan could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She leaned tightly against Ji Dong's chest, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Why... why did this happen...?"

The Godess of Kindness closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, filled with helplessness.

Even gods appear so vulnerable when faced with such separation of life and death.

"Heavenly Principles!!"

The God of Destruction slammed his fist on the table, unleashing a surge of Divine Power that shook the entire committee. His eyes were bloodshot, and his fury seemed to ignite the entire space.

"Is this what it wants? To send these Gods, so faithful to their duties, to carry out a senseless massacre, and then discard them on the battlefield like trash!"

"From the very beginning, this was a dead end." Tang San's voice was soft, yet exceptionally clear. "Heavenly Principles needs are enforcers, not questioners. The destruction of Kandria was inevitable, and the Seven Gods, as the enforcers, would inevitably pay a heavy price. This is both punishment and a warning."

His analysis was calm and ruthless, yet it revealed the coldest truth.
