Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yuuko was smashing his fists into the village girl's face, blow after blow.
Even though the Raiden Shogun seemed incapable of fighting back now, he continued to punch relentlessly.
Because Yuuko could tell that the Raiden Shogun would not die just from this.
Even if she was suppressed by him now, she would automatically repair herself after a period of time.
Therefore, Yuuko planned to suppress the Raiden Shogun using overwhelmingly powerful force!
...The battlefield behind them.
Due to the thunderous roars caused by Yuuko's continuous punches.
The resistance and the Shogunate Army who were still fighting froze, stopping their engagement and turning their heads to look at the battlefield where Yuuko and the Raiden Shogun were.
Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget... the existence that symbolized the apex in Inazuma, the existence equivalent to the supreme God in Inazuma.
Was actually being pinned to the ground and beaten until she couldn't move!
For the Shogunate Army, this was the moment their faith collapsed!
After all, in the eyes of all Inazuma people, the Raiden Shogun was an invincible existence!
In their minds, as long as the Raiden Shogun remained, Inazuma would never be troubled by external enemies.
This was how much they revered the Raiden Shogun!
But now, seeing the Raiden Shogun pinned to the ground by the Yellow Fox and unable to fight back at all.
The faith in the hearts of the Shogunate Army collapsed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Many sounds of weapons dropping to the ground echoed across the scene.
Those were the sounds of the Shogunate Army's weapons falling to the ground.
"No... impossible..."
"Her Excellency, the General is actually being suppressed by the Yellow Fox..."
"The Yellow Fox... that monster..."
Clearly, seeing their own God suppressed by the enemy like this, many of them had already lost their will to fight.
After all, if even their own God couldn't defeat the Yellow Fox.
What use would their efforts be, a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
The outcome of this war was ultimately decided by the Yellow Fox and the Raiden Shogun.
While the Shogunate Army lost their fighting spirit, the resistance side did not experience a significant change in morale.
After all, rather than excitement, the resistance soldiers were mostly displaying looks of astonishment.
After all, even they hadn't expected the Yellow Fox to be able to suppress the Raiden Shogun like this, preventing her from fighting back... Gorou, the general of the resistance, was also watching the scene with shock in his eyes, muttering softly:
"Mister Yellow Fox... is truly amazing..."
The resistance members generally reacted the same way as Gorou, staring blankly as Yuuko beat the village girl, their faces filled with shock.
They had even forgotten that they were in the middle of a battle with the Shogunate Army.
Among the resistance, Kujou Sara was the one with the most complicated emotions.
Watching the God she believed in being suppressed by the Yellow Fox like this, worry inevitably arose in her heart.
But she also knew that this was an indispensable process for the Raiden Shogun to awaken.
She could only stare blankly:
"Her Excellency, the General..."
...On the other side, after continuously bombarding the Raiden Shogun for a period of time.
After confirming that the Raiden Shogun was powerless to fight back in the short term, Yuuko finally stopped punching.
Only when Yuuko stopped did the Raiden Shogun reopen her purple eyes.
However, compared to before, she was significantly weaker now.
Even so, the Raiden Shogun's pair of purple eyes continued to flicker with Electro Light.
Clearly, the Raiden Shogun had not given up and still intended to fight Yuuko.
Because of this, Yuuko sighed helplessly:
"It's come to this, and you still won't come out to meet me?"
The Raiden Shogun remained silent, but the coldness in her eyes spoke volumes.
"Is that so." Yuuko sighed helplessly again.
Now, the situation had returned to the initial problem.
That reclusive deity hiding in the Plane of Euthymia simply refused to meet him, and even seemed to be avoiding him.
Even though he had just thoroughly beaten the Raiden Shogun, it was the same result.
It was likely that no matter how much more he fought, that reclusive God would not emerge.
This was something Yuuko had never understood: why that deity was avoiding him so strongly.
Of course, Yuuko had anticipated this situation long ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to come to this place and help strengthen the resistance.
Yuuko smiled as he looked at the Raiden Shogun lying on the ground and said:
"Raiden Shogun, no, Ei, you must be listening to me right now."
"Even if I defeat this Puppet, you will still hide inside and refuse to come out."
Speaking up to this point, Yuuko suddenly changed the topic:
"But what if, after defeating the Raiden Shogun, I lead the resistance, invade Inazuma City, occupy Inazuma, and establish a new nation myself?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a flicker of tremor appeared in the Raiden Shogun's eyes, but it immediately returned to normal.
This instant was naturally captured by Yuuko.
He continued to smile, "What? Do you seriously think I can't do it?"
Yuuko stood up, dusted the dirt off himself, and continued to smile:
"You probably know this too, that I am now an existence akin to a god in the eyes of the resistance and even the people of watatsumi island."
"Do you think that after I lead them to capture Inazuma City, they won't worship me as a new God?"
"You must also be aware that hundreds of years ago, the people of watatsumi island harbored resentment toward you because the Serpent God they worshipped was beheaded by you."
"And now, they practically regard me as a second object of faith. If I were to overthrow Inazuma and establish a new nation, do you think they would refuse?"
"So, when that day truly arrives, will you still continue to hide inside the Plane of Euthymia?"
"If Inazuma is destroyed, will the eternity you pursue still hold any meaning?"
This was Yuuko's plan.
His help for the resistance was never done on a whim.
The greater significance of his assistance to the resistance was to pose a sufficient threat to that deity.
After all, Yuuko now truly had the confidence to establish a nation.
In these past few days, the identity of the Yellow Fox had already become the pillar in the hearts of the resistance and the people of watatsumi island!
He truly could lead the resistance and the people of watatsumi island to establish a new nation!
He truly could establish himself as a God!
Following Yuuko's speech, the Raiden Shogun's cold gaze slowly began to turn complicated.
From this moment on, she seemed like a different person.
She was no longer the emotionless Puppet who only acted according to logic.
The Raiden Shogun closed her eyes, and after a long while, she opened them again.
She looked at Yuuko with complicated eyes and whispered:
"To force me out, you would go so far... Yellow Fox... what exactly are you planning..."
Seeing this, Yuuko smiled slightly: "You finally decided to come out, didn't you?"
Raiden Ei remained silent for a moment, then closed her eyes again.
At the same time, her body began to be covered by darkness.
This layer of darkness even continued to spread outwards, extending towards Yuuko's direction.
Raiden Ei was going to pull Yuuko into the Plane of Euthymia.
