Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: This Moment, the Time of Silence

Now, regarding Makoto.

As the system upgrade finished, he smoothly awoke from his slumber.

The upgrade process felt like nothing at all;

it was like a comfortable sleep, and upon waking, his entire mental state had reached its peak.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Makoto's mind.

"Ding! The system has successfully entered version 2.0. Five intertwined fate have been issued to your backpack. Host, please check."

"Additionally, the system has unlocked new functions. Host, please explore them yourself."

It was beyond doubt that the system's upgrade from version 1.0 to 2.0 would make its functions more user-friendly.

However, Makoto had no time to explore the new functions now,

because he noticed that the sky, which had been bright and clear earlier, had now turned terrifyingly gloomy, accompanied by rolling thunder, as if a god's wrath.

Rain lashed against the windows with a clatter, and lightning occasionally struck the water, stirring up waves.

It looked even more ominous than some maps in Inazuma.

Given this situation,

if nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected had happened.

Immediately after, Makoto heard a dragon's roar from afar;

those angry roars were deafening, as if they would destroy all things in heaven and earth.

Makoto looked out the window and saw a huge creature standing on the sea.

That was Osial's wife, Beisht.

Makoto immediately thought that Beisht was coming for him,

because he and Xiao had previously worked together to reseal Osial,

and Beisht, as Osial's wife, naturally harbored resentment towards Makoto.

If Beisht were allowed to continue her rampage, everyone on the ship would suffer.

Thinking of this, Makoto also quickly walked out of the room.

Since everything started with him, it should rightfully end with him.

Makoto saw Ningguang and Qiqi using their Vision power to fully resist Beisht's attack.

And Beidou, Shenhe, Keqing, and Ayaka, the four Little Ones, had surprisingly awakened their Vision at this moment,

the Little Cuties worked together, diligently protecting the ship.

Although their stamina had long reached its limit, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Seeing this scene, Makoto felt an indescribable emotion in his heart;

he knew that the Little Ones were buying him time, ensuring he wouldn't be disturbed for thirty minutes.

These Little Cuties were not pampered in vain.

When Makoto needed help, they would truly use all their strength, even throwing themselves into danger.

Seeing Makoto walk out of the room, the Little Ones' eyes showed joy, and a sense of relief.

They had successfully bought time for Makoto.

"Makoto Gege, are you done with your work? That's great."

"Makoto Gege, we fulfilled our previous promise and didn't let anyone interrupt your work!"

Looking at these well-behaved and sensible Little Cuties in front of him, Makoto felt a pang of heartache.

He nodded and said softly, "Little Ones, you've worked hard for these thirty minutes."

"Leave the rest to me. You all go rest well on the side."

As he spoke, Makoto raised his head and walked step by step towards Beisht.

Even Makoto couldn't bear to let the Little Ones suffer even a bit of grievance,

yet Beisht dared to lay hands on those children.

Unforgivable!

In the storm, one person faced one dragon.

In front of the Demon Dragon Beisht, Makoto, as a human, appeared extremely small at this moment,

but Makoto's steps were steady and powerful, his back as mighty as a god.

His eyes were bright and spirited, his aura not inferior to Beisht's in the slightest.

At this moment, Beisht also noticed Makoto's presence, and she became increasingly angry and out of control.

Beisht roared, and the light on her body flared, extraordinarily dazzling.

She was drawing power from the ocean, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Makoto.

The Little Cuties nearby subconsciously clenched their fists,

their minds in a turmoil, their eyes filled with worry for Makoto.

And at both ends of the sky,

Venti, Morax, and Raiden Ei, the three gods, remained silent, ready to witness the scene of dragon slaying.

Makoto stepped forward, and light slowly gathered in his hand.

When the light dispersed, it was a purple katana,

named Musou Isshin.

Upon seeing Musou Isshin, Yae Miko was completely stunned,

because she clearly remembered that Musou Isshin was Raiden Makoto's personal sword,

and after Makoto's death, Ei had always kept it.

Why would it appear in Makoto's hand?

Ei would naturally not give Musou Isshin to anyone,

in other words, Makoto had another Musou Isshin?

Thinking of this, Yae Miko looked up at Raiden Ei's profile.

Raiden Ei remained silent and expressionless,

but her beautiful eyes were fixed on the Musou Isshin in Makoto's hand,

indicating that Ei's emotions were not calm.

...

Makoto stopped, raising his head to look at the Demon Dragon Beisht, as tall as a giant mountain, before him.

The strong wind billowed his robes, and the heavy rain drenched his hair.

In the darkness, Makoto's eyes were exceptionally bright,

that light turned into a dazzling purple, accompanied by leaping lightning.

At that instant, the Musou Isshin in Makoto's hand also lit up, purple light covering the entire blade.

Beisht seemed to have sensed something; her previous anger was gone, replaced by fear.

She perceived Makoto's aura to be too powerful.

She wanted to escape!

But how could Makoto let Beisht leave?

If she bullied his children, she would have to pay the corresponding price.

Makoto gripped the Musou Isshin in his hand and swung a single stroke towards Beisht.

At that moment, the sky grew exceptionally dim,

the majestic light of thunder erupted, like mountains roaring and seas raging, like surging waves.

At this moment, the time of annihilation!

At that moment,

even the great sea was split open by Makoto, creating an extremely deep chasm, as bottomless as an abyss.

And Beisht's body also shattered into countless fragments under that Musou no Hitotachi, falling into the sea.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared again.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief,

Makoto could clearly feel a very powerful force rapidly approaching the ship.

That power was too overbearing and inviolable, full of oppressive presence,

even Beisht was insignificantly weak before that force.

If he remembered correctly, the last time Makoto felt such divine power was from Morax.

Before Makoto could figure out what was happening,

the scene before him rapidly changed;

the sea, the sky, and the Little Cuties, all disappeared,

replaced by barren ashes and a dark red glow.

This was the Plane of Euthymia.

Makoto noticed a woman standing before him.

The woman had an indifferent expression, and her most distinct feature was a tear mole on her face.

It was precisely Raiden Shogun Ei.
