After Winning, Was Death the Only Way Out? A Sudden Upheaval at Tenshukaku! After La Signora Turned to Ash, the Electro General Set Her Sights on the Traveler
The proud, powerful Fatui Executive "La Signora," who had just been fighting the Traveler to the death, didn't even have time to utter a scream before her entire body was instantly pierced and torn apart by the purple lightning, finally turning into ashes and disappearing completely.
It was as if she had never existed in this world.
The entire Douluo God Realm fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was completely stunned by this sudden, bloody, and cruel scene.
"This... this..." He Caitou stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"She... she killed the loser?" Xiao Xiao's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How could this be! Wasn't the duel over?!" Xu Sanshi practically roared. "The Victors was that Traveler! How dare she kill someone who had already surrendered!"
This completely overturned their understanding of the word "duel".
In their view, this was the most shameless and despicable act!
"Tyrant! This is utter tyranny!" Xue Ye trembled with rage. As Emperor, he valued Rules and laws above all else, and Electro General's actions were undoubtedly a trampling of all those Rules!
"No..." Tang San's voice was low and cold. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the light in his Purple Demon Eye was terrifyingly deep.
"This is not tyranny."
"This is Divine Punishment."
He said, enunciating each word clearly, "We've all been wrong. This Duel Before the Throne was never meant to resolve anything. In Electro General's eyes, it was a 'judgment' in itself."
"Those who challenge ' Eternity ' are guilty."
"Anyone who draws a sword before the Emperor is guilty."
"And that ' La Signora,' she not only drew her sword, but she was also defeated. In the Rules of ' Eternity,' the loser is useless, an 'impurity' and 'variable' that needs to be eliminated."
Tang San's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads, sobering them up from their anger and making them feel a chill to the bone.
"So, regardless of who wins or loses, from the moment they stood here to duel, the fate of that ' La Signora ' was already sealed?" Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes." Tang San nodded. "The victor might get a chance to speak again. But the loser... only death."
"What domineering, what ruthless Rules!" Hai Long gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Is this true divine power? Viewing all living beings as ants, every word spoken is law, every thought is punishment!
"A madwoman! She's a complete and utter madwoman!" Rong Nianbing could no longer contain himself. His fists clenched, his eyes red-rimmed. "She treats her own people like spare parts and challengers like impurities! She doesn't deserve to be a god!"
Ji Dong grasped Lie Yan's hand; he could feel the coldness emanating from his wife's palm.
The magnificent yet terrifying slash in the Light Screen reminded them of their helplessness when facing the God Realm Committee. But even the God King of that time valued Rules and judgment, and would never so indifferently and arbitrarily erase a life.
"No, she is no longer a 'god'," Huo Yuhao said softly, his Spiritual Eye fixed on the empty eyes of Electro General in the image. "In that body, I can't sense any emotion that belongs to 'life'. No joy, no anger, no pity... nothing at all."
"It's like... wielding a knife to cut off a dead branch blocking your path."
This metaphor sent chills down everyone's spine.
The Divine Gold pupils reflected the gradually dissipating lightning, and its voice was distant and ancient.
"That's her answer to fighting ' Wear '."
"Eliminate all unstable factors, all 'variables' that could bring about change."
"Challengers are variables, but losers are even bigger variables. Therefore, they must be eliminated."
"Her ' Eternity ' is not Eternity of prosperity and flourishing, but Eternity of deathly stillness. To maintain this stillness, she can sever everything, including life, Rules, and even the heart she once possessed."
The Dragon God's words silenced everyone.
yes.
How could a "god" who could abandon himself and turn himself into a puppet care about the life of a defeated person?
Above the Light Screen, the dust settled.
That haughty La Signora left no trace of her existence.
In the empty hall, only the blond Traveler holding a long sword and trembling slightly remained, and Electro General, whose gaze did not change for a moment, stood on the high platform.
At this moment, everyone truly understood.
That so-called "Duel Before the Throne" was nothing more than a bloody appetizer.
Electro General declared her will to everyone in the most direct and cruel way.
In Inazuma, Divine Punishment is the truth.
Now, it is the blond Traveler's turn to face this truth.
Within the Light Screen, the Traveler sheathed his sword, turned around, and seemed to intend to leave this suffocating place.
Her steps were unsteady; clearly, what she had just witnessed had had a tremendous impact on her as well.
"She wants to leave?" Ning Rongrong's heart jumped to her throat. "She won the duel, shouldn't she be able to leave?"
However, Tang San shook his head, his expression more solemn than ever before.
No, she can't leave.
"Why?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.
"Because she is also a 'variable'." Tang San's voice was deep. "From the moment she stepped into Inazuma and questioned ' Eternity ', she, like that ' La Signora ', was classified as an 'impurity'."
"The only difference is that she won."
"So, she got a chance... to turn around."
Before the words were finished, the Electro General, who sat high on his divine throne within the Light Screen, finally spoke.
Her voice remained devoid of emotion, as if it came from the depths of an ancient, unchanging glacier.
"You defy Eternity; this is a great disrespect."
"Considering you won the duel, I could have spared your life."
"But you are the exception."
"Exceptions are the Eternity enemy."
As soon as the words were spoken, an even more terrifying and overwhelming pressure than when the "La Signora" was killed instantly enveloped the entire Tenshukaku!
Purple lightning, like a boiling ocean, surged and roared behind Electro General!
She slowly rose from her throne, her empty eyes locking onto the Traveler for the first time.
"Buzz--"
A katana crackling with intense lightning was slowly drawn from her chest.
That was... the embodiment of Divine Punishment!
"No!" Lie Yan exclaimed in surprise, instinctively grabbing Ji Dong's hand tightly.
The aura of this strike is more than ten times stronger than the previous one! If the previous strike was a casual blow from a god, then this strike shows that the god truly harbors murderous intent!
