Inazuma's End of Days: A Hundred Demons Run Amok, as the Young Truth and Shadow Slaughtered Demons with Thunder!
"How could he... be dead?"
For the first time, Zhou Weiqing's usually carefree voice trembled slightly. He couldn't understand why one of these powerful Gods, fighting for their shared "Eternity," would fall so easily.
"This is war."
Dai Hao, the iron-blooded White Tiger Duke, had a voice as cold and hard as iron.
"The war among the Gods is equally brutal. No one can guarantee that they will always be the Victors."
His words silenced many people present.
Yes, war.
Which of them hasn't experienced war? Tang San's Sea God Nine Tests, Huo Yuhao's war against the Sun Moon Empire, Tang Wulin's bloody battle against the Abyss —which one wasn't a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which one wasn't filled with sacrifice?
I understand it rationally, but I find it hard to accept emotionally.
The bond between the sisters was so beautiful that their breakup seemed all the more cruel.
"Her will..." Tang San's brows furrowed tightly, his fists clenching unconsciously. "As the sister of 'Light,' her will was to build a peaceful and beautiful country. But she's dead. So how can the younger sister of 'Shadow' inherit that will?"
"Inherit?"
The Dragon God's golden eyes were filled with mockery and incomprehension. "The light is dead, what meaning does the shadow have? Without restraint, the power hidden within the shadow will only bring destruction!"
In his view, the younger sister, Raiden Shogun Ei, having lost her older sister Raiden Shogun True, was essentially free from all Binding. What followed was an unbridled outburst of power and an endless release! This was the proper demeanor of Gods!
However, the Raiden Shogun Ei on the Light Screen simply knelt there.
There was no roaring, no shouting, no tears.
There was only a hollow, deathly silence that seemed capable of swallowing everything.
The sharpness and determination that once shone in those purple eyes are now nothing but boundless emptiness.
Her world collapsed along with her sister's passing.
This silence was more unsettling than any hysterical outburst.
Lie Yan nestled gently in Ji Dong's arms. This former Queen Lie Yan, the ruler of the Core World, now felt the sorrow that transcended time and space. She thought of herself; if it weren't for Ji Dong's efforts, she would have vanished into Nihility like Raiden Shogun True, and Ji Dong... might have become that shadow on the Light Screen, having lost everything.
"She... is in so much pain," Lie Yan said softly.
Ji Dong didn't speak, but simply held his wife in his arms even tighter. He completely understood Raiden Shogun Ei's feelings at that moment, that despair where the whole world had lost its color and even breathing felt superfluous—he had experienced it firsthand.
Just as everyone was still immersed in this sorrow, the scene on the Light Screen changed once again.
[Review continues]
[In the distant past, Inazuma did not look like this.]
A grand and ancient narration begins, and the scene pulls away from Raiden Shogun Ei's lonely figure, quickly reversing to a wild and primitive era.
The sky was a dark, leaden gray, and the earth was crisscrossed with ravines, with huge skeletons and broken weapons scattered everywhere.
[At that time, Inazuma was teeming with demons and monsters, a land of countless ghosts, a place where Demon God held sway and war raged endlessly.]
In the scene, Demonic Ghosts, as large as mountains, wreak havoc on the wilderness, spewing Poisonous Fog from their mouths; towering waves surge in the sea, and enormous sea monsters emerge with their ferocious heads; and various Demon God, each with a different form, fight each other for faith and land, causing the earth to groan with each collision.
In such times, ordinary humans are like ants.
They huddled in their humble village, their faces etched with numbness and despair, praying that the next disaster would not befall them.
"This..."
Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire gasped.
He ruled a peaceful continent; had he ever seen such a hellish scene? This was no longer war; this was the end of the world!
"The Archon War..."
"A'Dai," the former Mandun the God of Death uttered hoarsely. His eyes became incredibly complex, filled with both reminiscence of that era and pity for the suffering of the people.
"So, every kingdom ruled by Gods was built from such ruins."
"Because it is far from the mainland, Inazuma has a relatively small number of Demon God, and the intensity and cruelty of its Archon War are far less than those of Liyue in the center of the mainland."
The narrator added a timely comment, which only made everyone more alarmed.
"This is even worse than Liyue?" He Caitou's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? This level of disaster would be considered a cataclysmic event that would lead to the destruction of a nation and the extinction of its people in our region!"
"The world of gods is not something we can easily fathom," Niu Tian said in a deep voice. His face, like Tai Tan's, was filled with solemnity. As King of Soul Beast, they had also experienced the brutal competition for survival, but compared to this war between demons and Demon God, it seemed insignificant.
"The key point is that in this environment, ordinary people have no way to survive."
Bei Bei's eyes were sharp as knives as he stared intently at the humans trembling under the Demon God's oppressive power in the scene.
"What they need is a powerful figure who can end all of this, a Savior!"
As if in response to his words.
In the scene, a bolt of purple lightning tore through the dark Sky Vault!
Boom!
The lightning bolt, like Heavenly Punishment, struck precisely at a roaring giant demon, instantly turning it into charred remains.
Immediately afterwards, thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning descended from the sky, weaving together a giant net that covered the heavens and the earth, enveloping all the evil spirits causing chaos!
Amidst endless lightning, two figures slowly descended.
One of them, wielding a naginata, with sharp eyes and surrounded by destructive lightning, was none other than Raiden Shogun Ei in his youth.
The other one, standing beside her, held no blade and wore a gentle smile of compassion for the world; it was Raiden Shogun True.
The Twin Demon Gods have descended!
"To end the chaos with the force of thunder."
Looking at the overwhelming power in the scene, Tang San softly uttered these eight words.
He finally understood how the sisters' rule had begun.
It's not about preaching or appeasement, but about the most absolute and domineering force!
"So that's how it is... So that's how it is!" Xu Sanshi slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "I was wondering how much blood that girl named 'Shadow' had on her hands... Now it seems that she killed these damned monsters and Demon God of this Chaotic World!"
His words sent a shockwave through everyone.
yes.
They were facing a world that was rotten to the core.
In such a world, any mercy is superfluous. The only way is to use the most powerful force to sever all the rotten flesh that hinders new life!
