Chapter 721

Not every soul exchange with her goes smoothly.

So she has to do something in this era!

"Look, the General has come out!"

At that moment, an exclamation rose from the crowd.

The crowd looked toward the sound,

and saw a woman walking onto the high platform, wearing gentian flowers and a folding fan ornament in her hair, a black-and-gold pauldron on her left shoulder, and a purple kimono.

Her dark purple long hair was braided into a plait that hung down her back, with a beauty mark beneath her right eye.

Though 02 resembled Kamisato Ayaka,

she gave off a completely different kind of charm.

Facing the General's imposing presence, the audience on the viewing stand fell silent at once.

Yet their eyes were filled with fervor.

In their hearts, they still held the General in deep reverence.

Even though the Vision Hunt Decree had brought some unpleasantness.

"So that is the Raiden Shogun of five hundred years from now?"

Seeing the imposing Shogun on the high platform, Raiden Makoto's eyes grew a little excited.

She had finally seen her!

Compared to five hundred years ago, she had grown far more mature!

But because she was holding an umbrella, the Raiden Shogun did not notice.

"That is not the Shogun, but a puppet created by the Shogun!"

Han Feng spoke up.

That said, later on she did develop a trace of her own thinking.

A nascent independent personality was born.

"Right, I almost forgot!"

Raiden Makoto recalled it then as well.

She had heard about this before.

The Raiden Shogun was a puppet created for the sake of the belief in Eternity.

As for the true Shogun, she had hidden herself within the Plane of Euthymia to avoid erosion.

For years on end, no one had been able to enter.

In the game's storyline, only Lumine had gone in a few times.

As for Yae Miko, she had relied on a medium to successfully enter.

But for Raiden Makoto, this was not much of a problem.

Boom!

Boom!

At that moment, peals of thunder rumbled through the sky, lightning flickering within the dark clouds.

The Raiden Shogun raised her head and gazed at the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue before her.

Although she had originally ordered the Vision Hunt Decree to be carried out,

it was meant to be a gradual process.

But that powerful sword intent earlier had unsettled her heart.

Out of a god's intuition,

she always felt that exceptions would appear later on.

And not just one or two of them.

But exceptions are the enemy of Eternity!

The Raiden Shogun, who upheld the belief that "only Eternity is closest to the Heavenly Principles,"

would absolutely never permit such a situation to arise.

Therefore, she later ordered the pace of the Vision Hunt Decree to be hastened.

That was how the hundredth Vision had come about today.

"The time has come!"

She murmured softly, then the Raiden Shogun slowly turned around.

Looking down at Thoma kneeling below, her eyes were filled with indifference.

She had been created to steadfastly carry out the belief in Eternity.

She did not need too many emotions.

At this moment,

the Raiden Shogun gently raised her left hand,

Crackle!

and a signature tomoe pattern of three thunder bars appeared in her hand.

The pattern slowly rotated, emitting a purple ghostly glow.

"Ah…"

Seeing this, Thoma immediately sensed something was wrong,

and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the Vision hanging at his waist.

Sure enough, it had reacted.

GLOSSARY:

【Han Feng, General, my lord, 02, Kamisato Ayaka, Raiden Shogun, Raiden Makoto, Plane of Euthymia, Lumine, Yae Miko, Thoma, Vision Hunt Decree, Vision】

Sizzle—!

As the violet light in the Raiden General's hand flared even brighter!

Thoma's Pyro Vision couldn't resist and was drawn away directly,

flying swiftly toward the high platform.

Thoma tried to struggle, but was pinned down by a Yashiro Commission official beside him.

Just as the Vision was about to reach the Raiden General's hand,

at that moment, a figure of a person rushed up and snatched the Vision away.

"Ah, wh-what's happening?"

"Looks like someone snatched the Vision!"

"My heavens, who is this person? So bold? Even daring to snatch my lord General's Vision?"

"Not sure, she's holding an umbrella so her face can't be seen."

Watching this sudden turn of events, the commoners on the platform began discussing in low voices.

Clearly they were also shocked by this act.

"Did someone make a move?"

Kamisato Ayaka saw this, and although equally shocked, a trace of pleasant surprise also flashed in her eyes.

With this,

perhaps the situation could turn around.

"But why does her back look somewhat familiar?"

Staring at the umbrella-wielding figure below, Kamisato Ayaka furrowed her brow.

"Now this is getting interesting!"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Han Feng's mouth.

Sisters meeting for the first time in 500 years, yet crossing swords against each other!

Is it the distortion of human nature, or the loss of morality!

He had no intention of stopping Raiden from truly making her move.

Clearly he also knew she had her own thoughts.

After the soul swap,

one tried to change the tragedy of 500 years ago.

953　One snatched a Vision from under the Raiden General's hand.

Just don't know how things will develop from here.

Han Feng grew somewhat expectant.
