Chapter 991

The Myōjin Grand Shrine.

Beneath the Divine Sakura Tree,

Yae Miko was leisurely eating fried tofu.

"Mmm, as expected, fried tofu is still the best!"

She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth; feeling the familiar flavor, Yae Miko's face filled with satisfaction.

This was far more normal than that shadowy one's cooking.

Others' meals cost money at most, but hers? They cost your life!

And she didn't even need to lift a finger—Zao Yu was the little one who ran errands.

It was simply wonderful!

Just as she extended her chopsticks to enjoy another bite,

she suddenly froze, then frowned toward the direction of the White Fox Wilds.

"Something happened?"

As a retainer of the Thundering God, her strength was no small matter.

So naturally, she had sensed something amiss.

The White Fox Wilds, "Zero Seven Seven," bordered Mount Kage, not too far away.

Moreover, that place had some connection to her.

Since something had changed there,

she might as well go take a look.

"Sigh, even eating fried tofu can't be peaceful!"

Yae Miko sighed,

then her figure vanished beneath the Divine Sakura Tree.

As if she had never been there at all.

In the White Fox Wilds.

Because Xiao Ying and the others could fly, and the monster moved slowly,

they had now caught up.

"Whoa, this thing is truly enormous!"

Looking at the monster ahead, Xiao Paimon's eyes were filled with awe.

It felt as if she were back in the shrinking tunnel.

Just from its size alone, it was genuinely intimidating.

One stomp, and she'd be gone.

But perhaps because they were small in size,

or perhaps because Scaramouche's attention was entirely on Inazuma City,

they had not been noticed.

"But once I summon the Lightbringer, it'll be about time to act!"

Xiao Paimon crossed her arms and huffed twice.

She pulled out her Light Cannon, ready to strike,

but Xiao Ying stopped her.

"Wait, look over there—someone seems to have appeared?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Xiao Ying's words, Xiao Paimon and Xiao Keqing paused and turned curiously.

Before Scaramouche, a massive purple Thunderous Triple Sigil suddenly appeared,

then a purple figure stepped out from within.

"It's her? Then we're probably not needed!"

Seeing the Thundering God of Inazuma appear, Xiao Paimon's face darkened with disappointment.

Though the monster looked powerful,

it was unthinkable it could stand against the Raiden Shogun!

After all, she was one of the Seven Lords!

It was said her One Thought Slash had once cleaved an entire island in two.

"Inazuma's troubles? Let her handle them—it's perfect!"

Xiao Ying had no particular thoughts.

Though it was a pity the Lightbringer hadn't appeared,

to her, as long as the problem was solved, it was fine.

Seeing there would be no fight,

the three found a safe spot

and settled down to watch the show.

Xiao Paimon even pulled out a camera and began recording.

In her words,

since she couldn't fight herself, she might as well document it.

Consider it a different kind of participation.

"Is this the big guy?"

Lei Ting stood in the void, gazing at the monster before her, frowning slightly.

According to her memories, she had never seen such a demon god before.

Moreover, its black-and-white transparent state made Lei Ting feel strange.

It seemed… as if it didn't exist?

"Lei Ting?"

San Bing also stopped in his tracks upon noticing the arrival.

To some extent, the two were somewhat related.

But as time passed, and through San Bing's many experiences,

he no longer cared about any of it at all.

The only thing he wanted,

was nothing but the Divine Heart!

But just as he tried to command the monster to speak, he found he could not.

"Looks like I must do this as a human!"

San Bing thought regretfully.

The monster's power could only serve as a means of threat.

While San Bing was thinking, Lei Ting had already begun to act.

For her,

everything that obstructed eternity must be eliminated.

Hmm, Boss Han is an exception!

After all, she truly couldn't defeat him!

Moreover, he had never directly interfered with Inazuma's affairs,

so Lei Ting was currently keeping a watchful stance.

Zhi-la zhi-la!

Streams of purple lightning flashed across Lei Ting's body.

She closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and stretched out her arms in midair.

At that moment,

the Dream-Heart, glowing with purple Lei Guang, slowly drew from her chest.

Around the blade, lightning swirled, brimming with mighty heavenly might.

Qiang!
