Chapter 377: The Red Thunder
"Whose memory is this?"
"Millie…"
"I am Millie, no… I am…"
Yoshine Ise woke up from a girl’s memory and saw the life of a rural girl.
Living in Yingzhou, she learned about the world’s history. Even though the distant allied country was separated by an endless sea, she remembered the name of the ‘mentor’.
Throughout history, the only country to initiate a grassroots revolution and establish a completely new system was the allied country, destined to be recorded in history. It left a deep impression on her.
And now, her memories of historical figures became even more rich and vivid.
The rural girl named Millie stared at the silhouette of a boy turning into a young man, for more than ten years.
Sadly, she is still dead, died before dawn.
Yoshine Ise clearly knows she is dreaming, but she doesn’t know where she is or why she can see someone’s entire life.
She stood up, surrounded by mist.
She found herself in a strange world.
In front of her was a tombstone with the name ‘Millie’ engraved on it, along with detailed birth and death dates, written in an ancient European font. But she recognized it, as if she had experienced those real memories herself, even inheriting the knowledge.
She took a step around the tombstone and paused.
There was another tombstone ahead, with the name ‘Klaise’ written on it. On the left, there was a tombstone with the name ‘Wu Xixue’. On the right, behind, and even farther away…
As she looked around, the mist surrounding the tombstones suddenly dispersed. Rows of tombstones stood in lines, silently covering the ground, stretching until the end of the world. How many were there?
Maybe a hundred thousand, maybe a million.
This is a graveyard, with many people’s names engraved on it, it is a pale silent place deep in memory.
However, this graveyard is not endless. Ise saw a huge and majestic tree, a golden tree. It supports the sky, spreading light and dispelling the swirling black fog, also making the tombstones silent, no longer emitting low mournful cries, like children who have been soothed and fallen back to sleep.
"Why is the golden tree, which is clearly the symbol of the Imperial Royal Family, here?"
" Yoshine Ise wondered."
She walked along the tombstones, wanting to see the base of the golden tree, although it seemed far away, she quickly reached the edge of the graveyard.
She seemed unable to leave this graveyard, an invisible force separated the different areas of the graveyard and the golden tree. She reached out her hand and touched the barrier.
The transparent barrier allowed her to only see, but not cross over.
Then, a figure appeared from the courtyard of the golden tree.
Afterwards, a person suddenly appeared from the courtyard of the golden tree.
Ise was surprised and then tapped on the transparent barrier, shouting towards the sound.
The noise caught the other person’s attention. Igarashi Shimizu looked over and showed a surprised and joyful expression. She hurried over and wanted to give her good friend a hug, but her head bumped into the transparent wall with a thud.
The two best friends communicated across the transparent barrier.
The sound could pass through, but the bodies couldn’t go through.
Igarashi Shimizu mentioned her own experience of a noble girl named ‘Sophia’. She watched closely as the rumored last emperor went from rising to destruction.
When she woke up, she found herself lying at the foot of the golden tree. This was the golden courtyard.
In the huge courtyard, there was a big dog and a big cat. They weren’t afraid or intimidating at all, just very lazy.
At the other end of the courtyard, there was a large art studio. Inside the studio, there were many paintings and a piano. The piano was covered in dust and very old, but there seemed to be recent signs of cleaning and renovation.
In the golden courtyard, there was a huge chessboard, just like the chessboard in "Magic Academy and the Secret Room". The chess pieces on the board were made of gold, but it was already a completed game. Even the gold emperor had fallen.
Besides, you can also find some statues everywhere. These statues are spread out in different places and are either broken or display death. They have golden blood flowing from them.
Then, there are several secret rooms that she cannot open. Through the windows and keyholes, it seems like a meeting room inside the secret rooms. She vaguely sees rose-like patterns.
After that, she couldn’t find anything else, so she thought about leaving.
The two women discussed and realized that what they saw belonged to two completely different people.
One is a follower of the mentor, and the other is a worshiper of the emperor.
One is sleeping in a graveyard, and the other is sleeping in a golden courtyard.
These two people, who have never met in their lifetime, are as close as can be. Mentors and emperors were ultimate enemies in history, and their positions were completely opposite.
This puzzled Yoshine Ise and Igarashi Shimizu, so they gave up their assumptions and thought about how to leave. But it seems there is no way out here, only countless tombstones in the cemetery and a magnificent yet empty golden courtyard.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth shook violently.
The sword witches struggled to stand up steady.
They all looked up at the sky at the same time.
The golden tree that held up the dome had collapsed, creating a gap. It was like a beautiful stained glass window on top of a cathedral that had been torn apart. Above the gap stood a figure, which caught the attention of the two women.
"Mentor…" Yoshine Ise said.
"Your Majesty…" Igarashi Shimizu said.
They looked at each other in astonishment, unable to understand how the other person had come to such a different conclusion.
But neither of them believed they could be wrong.
The figure didn’t notice the two people in the graveyard and the golden courtyard.
Bai Wei stood above the spiritual realm, looking beyond the crack. A pair of eyes gazed back at him, resembling a burning star core or a swirling plasma energy conglomerate of destruction. However described, it was an eyeball, a deep blue eye, casting a cold gaze upon Bai Wei in the spiritual realm.
Otherworldly malevolent god.
During his prime, Bai Wei had never encountered such a formidable opponent. Because the evil god could weigh the pros and cons, if it dared to pry, Bai Wei would dare to poke its eyeball.
The evil god always had a knack for bullying the weak. It was clever and cunning, always picking on the easy targets and never engaging in direct confrontation.
The cautious and strategic infiltrator’s approach was completely different from the outer god who would often send a substitute.
Bai Wei has not yet fully recovered his former glory, but it seems that he intends to take action now.
He currently has two options: one is to endure the situation and then retreat, and the other is to unleash a powerful force and forcefully upgrade to Golden Power.
The former will undoubtedly cause soul trauma, possibly requiring hospitalization for several months. The latter is not without risk either, as forcefully upgrading will consume the third set ether anchor, announcing the return of a king to the world. It also carries intense side effects. For example, like an Ultra Bomb, not everyone dies after using it. Taro and Mebius are both doing well… but, when they first self-destructed, who knew if they would survive?
Unless he is left with no choice, Bai Wei would rather transform into a scavenger and slowly collect the remains.
Being injured is always better than self-destruction, especially for just one evil god. It’s not worth it.
At least he wanted to defeat the Supreme Will, maybe it can cure his dementia, otherwise he won’t rest in peace.
If he doesn’t poke that big eye at least once, it wouldn’t be polite.
Bai Wei gathered his strength, empowered by the Golden Power, he planned to give it another try. Even if it means sacrificing his soul, he must make the opponent lose an eye and disrupt their next move.
He took a breath, about to make a move.
Suddenly, a bright electric light tore through the void, accompanied by roaring crimson thunder.
The crimson electric light appeared abruptly, the spear was controlled by the lightning, piercing through the back of those eyes.
It wasn’t over yet, the spear pinned the eyes down. The evil god realized something and tried to escape, but it was too late. In the next moment, the sky and earth split in two.
A sword split open the evil god’s eyes, the crimson thunder dispersed into the void, unleashing thunderous sounds that extended for thousands of miles. The entire spiritual realm was severed.
If we were to describe this sword strike, it would be precise, dazzling, deadly, and dominant. It even carried a hint of delicate elegance while retracting the sword.
The evil god’s eye was cut open, and the whole spiritual realm, like a fake moon in the sky, was split in half, dispersing the dark clouds.
The silhouette behind the moon also appeared, and Bai Wei looked at him, and he looked at Bai Wei too.
Their gazes met.
His eyes were calm and emotionless, unable to reveal any happiness or sadness. They were like a smooth mirror, reflecting everything around without any emotional display, but perfectly capturing the expression on Bai Wei’s face when he looked at him.
Bai Wei remained silent, not uttering a single word, and then the red thunder disappeared, and the sound of thunder faded away.
He is the modern shogun, one of the only three heroic spirits in the world, Tokugawa Iehide.
