People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

"He...is dead?"

The lightning stood there, motionless.

She stared at the scene, her expression trembling with pain...

Countless memories flashed through my mind, eventually turning into unstoppable tears streaming down my face.

Just as Raiden was filled with doubt, unsure of what he should do next...

"Snapped!"

A hand emerged from the black mud at some unknown time and grabbed Raiden's right hand.

Just as Raiden's expression changed and she showed surprise, a strange power suddenly emerged from the point of contact and enveloped her body at an extremely fast speed.

Chapter 148 Because I Like You, Doctor

"Snapped!"

To Raiden's surprise, Ron's hand suddenly emerged from the black mud, grabbed her arm, and restrained her!

This scene caught everyone off guard.

Lei Dian's expression underwent an instinctive change.

"you……"

Amidst the chaos of lightning, Ron remained remarkably calm.

He slowly took out the Abundant Energy Bottle and used its healing power to envelop the other person's entire body.

From the very beginning, Ron deliberately said those things.

In order to provoke Raiden's emotions and make him ignore his surroundings, he also created an opportunity for him to get close to Raiden silently.

When Lei Yuandianzhen lost control of his emotions and fell into chaos, he seized the opportunity to break through her mental defenses and inject the power of purification into her body!

Raiden slowly raised her head and found herself being held in someone's arms, the purifying power gradually removing the pollution from her body.

The dark power from Kanria within his body is gradually fading away, returning him to his original state.

The dark sludge inside Raiden's body gradually drained away. The large amount of dark substance that faded away made her soul more and more fragile, and her skin became increasingly pale. She looked like a patient in the late stages of an illness, with her life force depleted to the extreme.

However, thanks to Ron's healing power, her soul remained stable and did not die as the dark matter disappeared. Instead, it gradually stabilized little by little.

Gradually, Lei Dian's breathing became steady, and his eyes gradually transformed from their intense, fiery, and frantic state to a calm and gentle one.

“Ron… Doctor…”

Suddenly, lightning actually spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ron suddenly realized something. The other person's tone was different from their previous harsh words; it was very gentle and full of intellectual tenderness.

Ron stared at the woman in front of him and quickly realized that the Thunder of the past had truly returned.

"I'm sorry... I really mean it."

Ron spoke slowly, expressing his heartfelt apology.

In the past, due to his reckless behavior, the other party suffered for nearly a thousand years. Even if Ron himself did not believe that he was the cause of all this, he could not help but feel sorry for the existence of lightning.

When Raiden saw his appearance, his expression trembled slightly:

So...you were lying all along?

"Part of it, right?"

"Which part?"

Seeing Raiden's persistent and unwavering questioning, Ron sighed, "I truly only ever considered you sisters as friends. I've never had any other feelings for you. That hasn't changed, neither in the past nor now, so I'm sorry..."

"..."

Seeing that Raiden had fallen silent, Ron froze for a moment.

After all, it's incredibly awkward to say such classic scumbag lines yourself.

But Ron had no choice. He couldn't go against his conscience to deceive Raiden, especially since he was only in this world to do a mission and couldn't stay here forever.

There's no way he could reciprocate Raiden's true feelings for him...

"I understand... Doctor, you really are that kind of person."

Raiden Shin slowly spoke, a few tears welling up in her eyes, and slowly raised her almost numb arm to stroke the man's face.

Her misty, pale purple eyes stared intently at the familiar face before her, then tears fell, revealing a relieved smile.

Clearly, over these thousands of years, she had already found the answer to the question on her own.

Now, having only heard a concrete answer from Ron, she was simply welcoming a future she had long anticipated.

"However, I will not give up..."

Raiden Shin spoke again.

The moment she found the answer in her heart, she had already thought of her answer to this question: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to look at me now, it doesn't matter if your gaze isn't fixed on me alone, one day, I will make it impossible for you to take your eyes off me... because I love you, Doctor."

Her breath was faint, her cheeks pale, but a near-perfect smile graced her face.

The moment he saw that smile, Ron even instinctively recalled the past, the things that had happened under that divine cherry tree.

If he weren't a time traveler and hadn't experienced that long and chaotic period of solitary travel, he would likely have felt an indescribable tremor in his heart upon hearing such a poignant confession, and been moved by the other person's sincere feelings...

Unfortunately, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life and saying goodbye to one relationship after another, Ron's temperament was no longer easily swayed.

Moreover, he was well aware that his return to the Genshin Impact world was only a temporary stop.

He couldn't give the other party any response.

So he gently closed the woman's eyes, letting her, who was already extremely weak, fall asleep and prevent her from losing any more strength.

After he finished doing all this, a voice echoed in his mind.

[Professional Mission – The Doctor's Self-Cultivation Part Two – Completed]

"..."

Realizing that he had completely resurrected Raiden, Ron held the unconscious and weak woman in his arms, preparing to provide further treatment.

Yae no Miko and Raiden no Kami wanted to come up and help, but Ron refused.

"I can handle this myself. You should go back to Inazuma Castle first."

Upon hearing Ron's words, General Thunder's expression immediately revealed a subtle change.

She glanced at the man, then at Raiden in his arms, and wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

Yae no Miko looked at the three people in front of her with suspicion, but a slight smile crept onto her lips...

Chapter 149 The Mad Scatterers! I will plunge this nation into the abyss!

Many strange things have been happening on Umijima Island, outside of Inazuma.

The war between the rebel army and the shogunate army, which should have ended by now, has not diminished in intensity as time goes by.

The resistance became even more militaristic than before, expanding its forces at all costs.

Some observant people even noticed that the rebel commanders had all been replaced at some point, and strange, unidentified masked figures had taken their place.

Within the resistance forces, there were even individuals belonging to different unit numbers, so mysterious that ordinary people had no idea of ​​their specific identities.

All of these factors make the problem obvious to anyone.

However, while all this was happening, the leader of the resistance, Lord Coral Palace, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and General Goro also vanished from sight.

"From today onwards, I will lead the resistance."

The skirmisher wearing a strange conical hat looked at the rebel members in front of him with a ferocious smile, and took out a letter of appointment from Coral Palace Heart Sea from his pocket.

The letter of appointment stated that Coral Palace Heart Sea decided to transfer the power to command the resistance army to the stragglers, who would then become the new leader of the resistance army.

Below is Coral Palace Heart Sea's autograph.

“This is indeed Lord Coral’s handwriting,” a member of the resistance said slowly, though his expression remained somewhat unnatural. “Then where are Lord Coral and Lord Goro? Where are they now?”

Previously, the will to lead the resistance was that of the shrine maiden Sango Mikoto of Umijima and General Goro, and the resistance generally placed the greatest trust in them.

Although the soldiers have now produced the letter of appointment from Coral Palace Heart Sea, people still cannot easily accept all of this.

Moreover, since returning to Haiji Island, Coral Palace Kokoro and Goro have never appeared in front of anyone.

The members of the resistance couldn't help but worry that something might have happened to them.

Just then, the stragglers produced Coral Palace Heart Sea's letter of appointment, and the rebels couldn't help but feel a strong sense of incongruity and unease.

"The Sea Witch of Coral Palace has more important things to do."

The soldier remained expressionless and slowly spoke.

"Something more important?"

One of the rebel leaders looked at the face of the stragglers. He was born on Umijima Island and had always followed the living shrine maiden Jinjin in the battles against the shogunate army.

He felt something was wrong, very wrong.
