As for Shiki Eiki? That's a good point, but Raize found it as boring as listening to a phonograph. He calmly interrupted her, saying:

"Enma, you possess the ability to distinguish right from wrong, black from white, but in the struggle for survival in the human world, can you use your ability to ensure that you are always right? To always remain in a state of perfect goodness?"

Living in this world, one is not in control of one's own destiny. Even kindness may not bring good fortune. At first, Rai Zhe just wanted to live a simple life, but he was trampled on by other people who treated his family as food.

To remain untainted by any evil karma in this world is incredibly difficult, almost harder than climbing to heaven!

"......cannot."

Eiki said silently, "This Enma is essentially a gentle person who incorporates emotional thinking into her judgments."

Because the "power to distinguish right from wrong" is devoid of any emotion, there will be differences between judgments based on personal thought and judgments based on ability regarding actions such as "lying to protect someone" or "killing an enemy to protect family."

Eiki is very distressed by this disagreement. She is too serious and therefore not good at handling emotions.

"If I were to engage in battle with an enemy, I would either annihilate a galaxy or destroy the universe. Whether they are guilty or innocent, the number of those who die at my hands is beyond measure. I firmly believe that only those who win are righteous, and those who die are nothing."

"If you hate me because of the sins I bear, then I truly don't care at all. After all, my very existence is a denial of all living beings in this world..."

Lei Zhe smiled nonchalantly at Shiki Eiki, and behind him, a golden light of the world emanated as he sat cross-legged in the void.

The magnificent golden light and everything reflected within it sent shivers down the spines of everyone present, their eyes filled with unbelievable terror.

Behind the man was a complete golden world reflected in the sky, where joy, sorrow, and the sounds of exhilarating joy and sorrow never ceased.

The non-human beings present could see from the golden light that the sheer number of undead war spirits in that world was beyond description, even if it were tens of millions of them.

They rejoiced, they wailed, they sang praises, they roared in anger...

The world of gold is constantly being destroyed, reborn, fought over, and revived.

The inhabitants of that world fight and kill each other, die and are resurrected, continuing the eternal struggle.

That was a hellish, hellish scene.

While being shocked, Yukari Yakumo also spotted Thresh, who had destroyed their homeland, endlessly repeating the cycle of killing and resurrection in that world.

Even though the people present had killed many enemies or living beings, compared to Razer, the killings they had committed so far were like children playing house in the face of the Supreme Heaven.

"You...you...you're practically an evil sorcerer!!"

When Shiki Eiki saw this scene of countless souls being dominated and falling into a hellish purgatory, she was so shocked that she was almost speechless with anger. It was just like hell and demons.

"Is it an evil path? As an incarnation of the Asura realm, I should be superior to the human realm among the six realms. In the Buddhist six realms, I am also one of the three good realms. Isn't it normal for me to destroy everything in my sight with love and enjoy fighting and killing in the Asura realm?"

"Me! You!"

Shiki Eiki's face turned bright red with anger at Raiji's words, delivered with a smile, leaving her speechless.

This was the first time anyone in Gensokyo had seen Eiki Shiki rendered speechless by a rebuttal, but Eiki Shiki couldn't refute what Raiji had said.

In that golden world, there was not a trace of evil; on the contrary, it was sacred and radiant. And strangely enough, they could sense a strong "love" within the emanating golden aura.

To kill with malice is to be a serial killer.

However, to use love to destroy others is to be an absolute devil.

The people of Gensokyo finally understood why their souls were so afraid of Raiji; his outward kindness was probably just a facade.

What lurks deep within is a ferocity they cannot even imagine.

"My love is bound to the passion of destruction. I face all things with the destructive power of an Asura. Whether it is heaven, hell, gods, demons, or any of the myriad phenomena in the three thousand great worlds, all I can do is destroy. In battle, this is all I can do."

"If I were to define my current divine role, it would be that of a Shura God who is constantly fighting at the edge of the precipice."

Regarding Shiki Eiki's anger, Raiji spoke calmly and deliberately, like an old friend.

The emotions expressed in these words seem insane to others; all human natures are bound by love, and hatred, regret, sorrow, anger, and resentment cannot escape the snare of the highest heaven.

Avoiding the light of love, this captivating and transcendent love, also represents supreme power.

What made Shiki Eiki and the others present even more terrified was that the opponent was indeed a true Asura, and the master of the Asura Path right in front of them.

"Of course... I also hold other divine positions."

Suddenly, Rei Zhe smiled and withdrew the golden light. A golden divine mandala suddenly appeared behind him, with colorful divine incantations, divine power, and divine might surging on the lotus throne.

Duality of good and evil, pure and extreme evil, pure white sorrow, eternal reincarnation, destructive love, samsara compassion, the incessant red lotus, six days of reincarnation, a million rays of dawn...

Facing the stunned expressions of Shiki Eiki and the others, Raizetsu slowly clasped his hands together, a boundless Buddhist light wheel appearing behind his head. His eyes, devoid of joy or sorrow, gazed at the little Enma before him, and he softly said:

"I also practice Buddhism and Taoism. I am currently undergoing arduous training to seek the path to enlightenment and transcendence. If you ask me whether my future path will be good or evil, my answer is that good and evil are meaningless. What I want is to do as I please, what I desire is true and perfect fulfillment, and what I seek is true freedom and liberation."

"So, Yama, do you have any more questions? Are you willing to serve in my hell?"

Speechless and silent, Shiki Eiki stared blankly at the divine incantation and divine power behind Rai Zhe, who possessed both chaos and transcendent order.

The order of the six-day cycle, the hope of a million dawns, the compassion of reincarnation, and the compassionate heaven that is so correct that it cannot tolerate any impurities—it is simply the way of heaven!

You call Raiji an evil god? First, look at his benevolent light. If you say he's chaotic and disordered, look at the Six Paths of Reincarnation that even Shiki Eiki couldn't refute.

After regaining her senses, Enma's expression gradually became strange, and a strong sense of suicidal thoughts welled up inside her.

What on earth am I lecturing?!?

Why is the other party a future Buddha who is about to awaken? And judging from their demeanor, they are still struggling in the mortal world.

The other person's situation, where they possess both merit and sin, is very likely due to a grand vow made to help others cross over to the Pure Land, or perhaps it's like the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

You want to lecture others? Please consider whether you are qualified.

Didn't you see that the Holy White Lotus over there, illuminated by a ray of Buddha's light and the light of dusk, already looks a bit off?

"I...I represent the forces of Hell, and I am willing...willing to serve under you. Please do not hold my previous words against me..."

"OK, now that everyone has decided where to go, things will be easier."

Reiji chuckled and nodded to Shiki Eiki, then looked at Yakumo Yukari with a serious expression and said in a deep voice:

"Although I am chaotic and disorderly on the outside, and I will not hold back when it comes to killing, I am still quite orderly on the inside. I will not interfere with how you live in this world, but please do not act recklessly. If you cause any consequences, I will not provide resurrection services."

"Please rest assured, we always followed the rules in order to survive in Gensokyo."

Yukari Yakumo immediately nodded solemnly to Reiji to indicate that there was no problem. The other party had provided them with a larger and better living space than Gensokyo, so they would naturally cherish their new home.

A smile of amusement suddenly appeared on Lei Zhe's face as he looked at everyone present and said, "You're not going to cause any trouble, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the factions who had caused the incident in Gensokyo all wore awkward yet polite smiles.

The red and white shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei, looked at the guy who used to be so restless in Gensokyo, and clicked her tongue with resentment and displeasure.

Every time she causes trouble, she, a shrine maiden with a rather dull personality, has to clean up her mess. Afterwards, they even hold a banquet at her family's shrine, and in the end, she's the one who has to clean up the mess.

She, Reimu Hakurei, hates those bastards who cause trouble and create disturbances!

"Alright, I'm too lazy to interfere, just don't ruin yourselves, Orpheus—"

As he spoke, Lei Zhe stood up and landed on the ground. He looked up at the sky above the alien planet and then called out softly.

Yukari Yakumo and the others immediately looked up at the sky, but there were no figures or spatial fluctuations. Where were they? Who were they calling?

The doubts that had just begun to surface in everyone's minds were suddenly dispelled by the unexpected turn of events.

The sky over the alien planet was clear before, and nothing changed.

But the next moment, a patch of darkness and a huge, strange "planet" appeared, and it was rapidly growing larger, or rather, it was approaching.

In the blink of an eye, all the sunlight was blocked, turning the planet into complete darkness.

Kaguya Houraisan's lips twitched as she looked at the "planet" in the sky. After seeing it clearly, she realized that it wasn't a planet at all, but a giant eyeball approaching.

This size is simply enormous; just by its size, it could crush all of them.

Everyone swallowed nervously. Through the thin atmosphere, they could see a huge, dark snake's body.

Resembling neither a dragon nor a snake, it exudes both majesty and breathtaking beauty, its massive body flawless.

The gaze that descended from the pure, clear dragon eyes made everyone except Lei Zhe feel an immense weight and a suffocating pressure.

Even if the other person has no ill intentions, the feeling of feeling insignificant just by looking at them is frightening enough.

"Zhe, are we going to fight again...?"

As a clear and ethereal voice resounded throughout the entire planet, the colossal, perfect dragon-serpent incarnation transformed into an adorable little girl dressed in a jet-black gothic Lolita dress amidst a burst of pure and pristine light.

Orpheus traversed the spatial distance in one step, appearing directly next to Reiji. He then hugged Reiji's leg and looked up at him with an adorable expression.

Since Orpheus became stronger, he has liked to spend time in outer space whenever he has free time, saying that he enjoys the silence of the universe.

"Let me introduce you. This is Orpheus, whose race is the Infinite Ouroboros. You can also call her the Infinite Dragon God. She will then take you to where you are meant to be."

Rezhe took out Orpheus's favorite cotton candy and handed it to him. Watching Orpheus hug his leg with one hand and eat the cotton candy in an adorable little way, Rezhe reached out and patted Orpheus's soft little head before introducing it to the group of people in front of him.

Infinite Ouroboros!?

Patchouli, Yukari Yakumo, Eirin Yagokoro, and other knowledgeable figures in Gensokyo felt a surge of emotions upon seeing Orpheus, this seemingly harmless little girl.

The Infinity Serpent symbolizes various meanings such as "perfection," "immortality," "completeness," "infinity," "world," and "wisdom."

Whether in legends or descriptions in books, this legendary creature is shrouded in mystery.

The other party is described as a primordial cosmic being in a self-consuming state, immortal, and possessing a perfect biological structure.

The book describes it this way: this creature does not have eyes, because there is nothing around it that it needs to look at.

It has no ears either, because there is nothing around it to listen to; there is no breath around it, so it doesn't need to breathe.

It has no organs because there is nothing around it that it will inhale or excrete, so it does not need to do any digestion.

As for why Orpheus has external organs, it's because she wants to understand the outside world, so they automatically developed. Orpheus couldn't possibly have any physical defects.

When it is born, its excrement is arranged to become its food, and its behavior and the influence of its behavior come from and are received from it.

The Creator conceived of this self-sufficient creature, which is more complete than other creatures that lack everything.

So, in terms of how rare and mysterious the Ouroboros is, it can be compared to a level of a mythical creature like Yukari Yakumo, except that the difference in their strength is simply incomparable.

Although Gensokyo is a place where non-humans gather, this is the first time they have ever seen something like the Infinite Ouroboros.

Looking at the adorable little girl clinging to Razer's leg, and her pure, clear, and ethereal eyes, everyone felt as if they were staring into an unfathomable abyss.

They no longer felt any pressure from Orpheus, because the pressure and quality were far beyond what they, being so insignificant, could perceive.

The next being named Orpheus will arrange their destination, which they cannot afford to ignore.

Furthermore, the people of Gensokyo understood what Reiji meant by his words of comfort earlier: if they offended anyone, they should deal with it themselves.

This universe isn't just home to these newcomers; there are probably quite a few beings with extraordinary power.
