That powerful strike obliterated all the golden energy protecting Jing Lian the Great Philanthropist. He collapsed to the ground, his entire abdomen blasted apart, a horrifying mess of blood and flesh around his lower abdomen and chest, exposing the white bones beneath.
Wan Lei, crackling with lightning as the Raiden, stood before him, his all-white eyes staring down with indifference.
Jing Lian stared blankly at the sky, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"I can't… understand… why you can use lightning…"
Boom!!!
Before he could finish, Wan Lei smashed his head in with a single blow.
"Because… I am… the god of this world…"
Only after killing Jing Lian did Wan Lei utter those words.
He was kidding. The opponent had been so strong, impossible to kill no matter what they tried. Just to be safe, the Raiden didn't bother with the villainous monologue, seizing the opportunity to finish him off while he was at his weakest to prevent any future trouble.
Having dealt with the enemy, Lei Shao turned to look behind him. Within the formation stood a girl, her face radiant with smiles.
Fang Xiaoyu was weak but still managed to stand, having witnessed Wan Lei transform into the Raiden and single-handedly eliminate that formidable and terrifying opponent.
She had to admit, that figure leaping into the air wreathed in lightning had been quite dashing.
This was just going to inflate his ego. Showing off like that, he was sure to become unbearably smug.
Thinking that, the smile on Fang Xiaoyu's face deepened.
She watched as that figure, transformed into lightning, appeared before her in the blink of an eye.
The person before her was surrounded by crackling lightning, expressionless, with only indifference in his white eyes, like a god descended from the heavens.
Fang Xiaoyu watched for a moment, but seeing Wan Lei still unresponsive, she couldn't help but pout, a hint of laughter in her eyes.
"Still playing the cool act? If you want me to hug you, you'll have to get rid of that lightning. In my current state, I can't handle it."
"Hehe."
The Raiden, who had been exuding the aura of a cold and aloof god, gave a shy smile upon hearing those words, his eyes returning to normal, and the lightning around him dissipating.
"Show-off."
Little Yu rolled her eyes at Lei Shao, making his heart flutter as he swept her into his arms.
"Was your husband cool just now?"
"Cool, totally cool. That was the coolest moment of your life."
Little Yu fully indulged Lei Shao's vanity.
"No, the coolest moment of my life will definitely be the day I marry you."
"Tch, who said I was going to marry you? You haven't even proposed yet."
"It would be enough if you proposed to me."
"Bah, don't mention that."
"Mmm…"
"Seriously though, you looked so powerful just now. Was that how you were in your past life, that powerful?"
"No, I wasn't this strong in my past life because I lacked the Origin Lightning, and the Raiden authority wasn't complete.
Today, with Gouzi, all my Raiden runes lit up, allowing me to unleash the strongest Raiden power.
In terms of combat power, I'm now at the apex of a high-level world. Maybe, at my current level, I could defeat the supreme powerhouses of this universe, the Utmost Good and the Utmost Evil."
"Oh, so you're a Golden Immortal powerhouse? I heard Gouzi say that the strongest beings in high-level worlds are Golden Immortals."
"Of course, how about we go kill three of the Utmost Good for fun right now?"
"Tch, stop bragging."
In mid-air, the white-robed youth and the black-robed youth turned their heads, speechless.
"...What are you thinking? How did he defeat his opponent so easily? What happened to the hell-level mission?"
"I forgot that his past life was the Raiden of this universe. I didn't expect that the god of fifty thousand years in the future could still possess authority in the universe of fifty thousand years ago."
"Isn't this universe your creation? Can't you decide everything?"
"I didn't create it. I just fished the Moral Dimension of fifty thousand years ago out of the River of Destiny.
In other words, I resurrected everyone in this universe. They are now truly alive, and their memories are from before the Great War of Good and Evil. The following story will develop according to the normal course of events. I haven't interfered with anything."
"Good heavens, now that you mention it, I realize that if they knew that the people they killed were real, living people, I wonder what they would think."
"Never mind that. Now I have to extract the Raiden authority he gained in this world, otherwise the next mission will be too easy for him."
"Not easy. For him, betrayal is what stings the most. Don't forget the illusion you created, where the whole world betrayed him."
The white-robed youth shook his head and ignored the black-robed youth. He simply reached out his hand, and some of the original lightning within Wan Lei's body and the Raiden's Hammer was absorbed by him.
"What's going on? Who did this!!!"
Lei Shao, who had barely enjoyed a few minutes of being the Raiden, felt the power within his body rapidly draining away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, he returned to the weak state he was in before gaining the Raiden authority, when he was being beaten by Jing Lian the Great Philanthropist.
The Raiden runes on the hammer also reverted to their original state.
He had just obtained everything, and in the blink of an eye, he had lost it all.
This pain drove him mad.
"Hey, don't shout. It's all fake anyway, you can't take it with you. Just rest and heal. I don't think there will be any more missions."
"Yeah, we've killed everyone who needs to be killed. I don't believe that immortal can suddenly conjure up another enemy for us to kill.
That wouldn't let anyone live. Even a donkey in the production team wouldn't be treated like this.
But… that was my peak power!!!"
Lei Shao lay sprawled on the ground without any pretense, completely different from the world-destroying Raiden he had been just moments before.
"I think we can pack up and leave this time. All the enemies have been dealt with."
Fang Xiaoyu stood up and stretched.
"Don't,"
Lei Shao said, startled,
"Wife, every time you say that, a new mission appears. Your jinxing is even more accurate than mine now."
"Uh… that seems to be true. I remember the system saying that completing all the tasks would grant a supernatural power called 'Summoning Rain,' but it hasn't given it to me yet. That means the mission isn't over yet. What could the mission be?"
"Seventh Mission: Kill Selena! Complete the mission to obtain the Saint-level supernatural power – Summoning Rain."
……
"Selena?!"
Wan Lei jumped up from the ground, shouting in unison with Fang Xiaoyu.
