This heroine is so despicable

"Murakami Taisha Shrine is not much different from what Kitsunasai-sama remembers..."

"Of course, after I became the chief priest, I kept all the rules here to the greatest extent. Come, here~"

Yae Shinko said with a smile, and then led everyone to sit down on the lawn where a picnic blanket was laid out and snacks were prepared.

"This scene... seems familiar. In the past, everyone also liked to enjoy the flowers and have fun here together..."

Hanasari seemed to remember something, and then looked at Shenzi with a smile:

"I remember that the Son of God at that time was not even proficient in transforming. He stayed beside Her Highness and warmed her hands and feet..."

[Shen Zi brand hand warmer, everyone says it’s good~]

Xing immediately stretched out his hand:

"Then I want one too! Come on! Let me touch your tail~"

"You can't do that now." Shen Zi glanced at Hua Sanli unhappily, "And you, don't bring up those old things."

Hua Sanli smiled and nodded, then seemed to hesitate for a while before asking:

"Speaking of which, Torachiyo...what happened to her?"

Yae Shinko did not answer, but just took a small sip of tea.

Hanasari understood the meaning of this silence. She sighed slightly and nodded:

"Is that so... those days... Ying, she must have felt bad... Is she still in Inazuma Castle now?"

"Yes, but..."

Seeing the originally cheerful atmosphere turn into a sad one, Xing sighed:

"You two, I guess the shadow you are talking about is probably the general. Why don't you tell us what happened in the disaster five hundred years ago?"

Volume 198: The Immortal Body Ends, the World and the Human World: How to Enter the General's Heart

Realizing that she had made the atmosphere more depressing, Hanasari immediately lowered her head in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, I...I..."

"Seeing things reminds me of people. I understand!"

Xing lay down directly on the picnic blanket, leaned his head on Ying's thigh, and in the process pushed away Paimeng who was originally held in Ying's arms.

"Master Kitsusai's memory only goes back to the time before the disaster ended, right? Hanasari, you must not be clear about the current situation. It's just right, Shenzi, can you tell us what happened to the general?"

"If I were to talk about this, it would be a long story..."

The Son of God did not hide anything from the two of them and quickly told them everything he knew about the past.

"So... there were once two Thunder Gods?"

Xing, Ying, and Paimon couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they heard it.

"Yes, Shin and Kage are a pair of twin demons. They won the Demon War together. After establishing the shogunate, Kage became Baal's substitute as a shadow warrior because... Shin is indeed not as talented in martial arts as her sister."

Xing was surprised by this explosive information:

"Inazuma... doesn't anyone know this?"

The fox palace on the side shook his head:

"In the eyes of the world, the real and the shadow have always been a unified existence. The two of them have always complemented each other and jointly governed Inazuma. Only we...ah, I mean, only old friends like Lord Kitsunesai know this secret."

"So, Raiden Shin, or Baal, what is she like now?"

Paimon covered his mouth halfway through his question - after all, the Son of God had also said - there were, once, two Thunder Gods...

Xing frowned even more:

"Or was it the disaster five hundred years ago? What happened during that time that even the seven rulers of the mortal world fell?"

Hua Sanli shook her head:

"I...there is no clear information in Lord Kitsusai's memory. After all, Inazuma has lived overseas for a long time and is too far away. However, what is certain is that Tenri summoned the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World in Kanreya, and a terrible battle took place. More than one ruler died in that catastrophe."

[This is really a mystery. What on earth did Kanriya do? Did he really break the law of heaven? ]

Xing couldn't help but look up at Yingmei and poked her with his hand. After all, she fell into a deep sleep after encountering an unknown god five hundred years ago.

But Yingmei also shook her head, indicating that she was not very clear either.

"All right……"

Xing sat up again.

Things seemed to be getting a little serious. She originally thought that the Shogun was simply staying at home or having social phobia, so not only did he have to stay in the castle tower, but he also had to close the gates of the shogunate.

Now it seems that this is... suffering from PTSD...

But...it's not hard to understand.

Put yourself in their shoes - if your other self suddenly disappears one day...

[Hey, stop making random flags. I won’t abandon you.]

I mean, what if, what if - suppose one day I suddenly think that some kind of force majeure has disappeared, and then you have to take over this body, and in order not to make my friends sad, you have no choice but to continue to live as me...

[Kougua! Stop talking nonsense! Don’t do that!]

Ok ok...it's just a hypothesis, it won't come true!

Xing sighed and looked at the Son of God:

"In other words... the death of the General's sister has caused the General to fall into a state of... autism?"

Shen Zi nodded:

"That's right, Ying... Since then, she was afraid that she would lose something if she continued to move forward, so she began to pursue eternity - as long as she stayed in the present, although she would not gain anything, she would not lose anything either, right?"

Yingmei is a little puzzled:

"But... the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order, although... in theory they can indeed make Inazuma stable and not be disturbed by the outside world, but... what does this have to do with eternity?"

Paimon also nodded:

"Yes, judging from the effect, it makes Inazuma even more unstable. Besides... is it really possible to achieve eternity?"

Yae Shenzi sighed slightly:

"So, let's get down to business now, little one. Ying...she is a person with a lot of ideas, but she tends to get stuck in a rut..."

Hanasari, who was standing by, also felt uneasy from the lonely tone of Shen Zi.

"Shenzi, Ying...what did she do later?"

Shen Zi did not answer immediately, but picked up the teacup and looked at the tea leaves floating in it.

After a moment's silence, he replied:

"Shadow... She wants to protect Inazuma forever, and tries to get rid of the obsession and pain of the past, and enter a state of no thoughts and no attachments. She believes that only such 'eternity' can make everything stop, make Inazuma immortal, and make it so that even an illusory enemy like time cannot defeat her..."

"So, hundreds of years ago, she closed her heart..."

[…Uh…So you’re still… autistic? Wait…]

Paimon on the side asked Xing's question:

"What do you mean by closing your heart? And didn't General Raiden issue the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order more than a year ago?"

The Son of God shook his head:

"Ying's closure of her heart is not as simple as finding a small dark room to lock herself up. She believes that the body will eventually return to dust, and the spirit will also be worn out... So, she placed her consciousness in her sword, used meditation to avoid all disturbances, and completely closed herself in her own world..."

Xing was slightly stunned:

"Then... who gave the order?"

"It's just a puppet, Ying... She transformed her divine body, and within that body, a consciousness was born that would rush towards eternity regardless of everything."

Ah...ah?

Xing's eyes widened when he heard this:

"Are you sure... it's not some second personality or something?"

"No, although it may not sound nice to say this, the current 'General' is just like a cold machine. She only has the so-called 'eternity' in her eyes. Any unstable factors that try to stop her will be eliminated by her..."

In other words... Lei Dianying, she... created an artificial intelligence? And... she also separated her consciousness from her original body! ?

[What kind of magical mechanical ascension!? Isn't it said that the general is a warrior? Why does he look like a programmer? ]

Xing felt like his CPU was about to burn out, and Hanasari, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth in shock:

"Shadow...she..."

It took several people more than ten seconds to digest this explosive news, and finally Xing rubbed his head:

"Okay... Although I still have many questions, I have figured out the general situation..."

Xing rubbed his head with a headache.

"But, Son of God, what exactly is your plan?"

"Me? Of course I want to save the people of Inami under the Eye Hunting Order, and I also want to save this country at the same time - you and I have the same stance~"

"Can't we find a way to wake Ying up and make her change her mind?" Ying asked.

"It's difficult - the will of 'Raiden General' is designed to resist wear and tear. Don't think of refuting her with words. If you want to make the shadow come forward, you must first create enough movement to make the shadow behind Raiden General interested in you... ah, of course..."

Shen Zi said with a smile.

"The premise is... you have to be able to withstand the general's 'Wuxiang's Sword', then Ying will have a chance to pull you into the Pure Land of One Mind..."

Paimon was shocked:

"This... this is too difficult, right? General Lei Dian's sword... cut out a narrow gap in the Wuxiang Blade? This... how can we possibly resist it?"

[I think... if it were us, we wouldn't have a problem carrying it through.]

Wouldn't you die if you tried?

Yae God shook his head:

"That's not the case. As far as I know, the blow that killed Orobas, even if it was a shadow, was not delivered casually. As long as the battle is still in Inazuma Castle, she can't be so reckless."

Xing and Ying looked at each other, the former seemed eager to try, while the latter frowned slightly.

"Anyway, this is the only way I think to get Inazuma back on track before it falls into 'eternal darkness'..."

Yae Shinko looked at the two of them and shook his ears slightly:

"What do you think? I'm sure you two kind-hearted strangers won't just abandon me and the entire Inazuma?"

"I..." Yingmei still hesitated a little.

"After the matter is done, I will give you enough tails~"

"I have no choice but to do this!" Xing shouted immediately.

"Hey!" Paimon stomped his feet angrily as he looked at Xing who was easily bribed by his tail.

----------------

In the afternoon, Xing and Ying temporarily bid farewell to Shen Zi and Hanasari.

Although the latter's condition has been roughly stabilized, it is best for her to stay close to Shenying, and the Son of God will also help her sort out the remaining filth inside her body.

As for how to "wake up" the general, this is not an easy task and requires more preparation.

Yae Kamiko said that she would find a way to give the two "special training against Raiden General". The general content is actually to make them familiar with the characteristics of Raiden General's moves, so as to increase the chances of the two winning in the actual fight against Raiden General.

However, this kind of training of the Son of God seemed to require the preparation of some props, and Hanasari's situation also needed more attention, so she asked the two to come back to her in two days.

On the way back to Kamisato's house, without the others, Ying also asked Xing what he thought about Yae Kamiko's proposal.

"I always feel that... her plan still lacks groundwork. If she were to implement it directly, it would probably be a bit difficult."

Star shook his head.

"After all, Shen Zi believes that the general is just angry, so let us open the door and have a good talk with her, maybe we can put an end to it all...but..."

【What if the other person is unwilling to listen to you? 】

So Xing thought about it:
