"Is it courtesy before force? Or do we strike directly?"
Walking along the road, Acheron, who was in the lead, asked Miko a question.
She didn't know what Miko's plan was—whether to strike directly or to talk first.
If it were up to her, she would choose to strike directly to give the other party a display of power, and then discuss other matters. That would be much more efficient.
"Courtesy before force, I suppose." Miko gave her answer quickly.
No matter what, she intended to go over herself and state the conditions to the Resistance first.
If that really didn't work, then she would let Mei take action.
However, after experiencing the matter with the Tatarigami just now, she was a bit worried that Mei's action would be too terrifying.
Although it seemed like nothing had happened back then, that was precisely what was most terrifying. She had absolutely no idea how Mei had resolved the Tatarigami.
It must be known that even gods cannot completely eliminate such things; they can only suppress them and rely on a long period of time to dissipate them.
I wonder what the origin of that blade is?
Thinking of this, Miko's gaze couldn't help but land on the blade Mei was holding in front of her.
It had to be said, one look at this blade and you could tell it was no ordinary item.
Sigh...
I wonder if I'll have time to ask Kaito about this when we get back...
Because she knew there was a high probability that Ei or the Raiden Shogun would find out she was running around doing things with a fake Shogun this time, Miko didn't know if she would have time to ask Kaito about Mei after returning.
Moreover, besides Mei, she was also very curious about that Kiana whom she had never met.
But there really was no helping it; time was running short.
If I had known Mei was this powerful...
I wouldn't have come here first...
At this moment, Miko was filled with regret.
She hadn't imagined at all that Mei would actually be this formidable.
"We've arrived. That ahead should be the Resistance's military camp."
Just as Miko's mind was wandering, Mei's voice brought her back to reality.
Arrived?
Recovering from her various thoughts, Miko saw a military camp in the distance.
"Then, Mei, wait for me here a moment." Upon seeing the camp, Miko asked Mei to wait for her there.
However, before she could take more than a few steps, Mei spoke up from behind: "I think... it would be better to let them know the Raiden Shogun has arrived first."
"Huh?"
Stunned for a moment, Miko stopped and turned back, not understanding Mei's meaning immediately. "My plan is this: I'll go over first and tell them the Raiden Shogun is here, then make them stop the war. Otherwise, the Raiden Shogun will let them witness what a god is."
Feeling that Mei might not understand her plan, Miko briefly explained it again.
"No, I mean it's best to let them witness the Raiden Shogun's power first. That way, the subsequent negotiations will be much easier."
Walking to Miko's side, Mei voiced her own thoughts.
She felt there was absolutely no need to waste breath talking to them first; revealing her strength directly or simply appearing in front of them was the best method.
Of course, the Raiden Shogun had absolutely no need to do the latter, so revealing her strength first was the remaining choice.
"Witness the Raiden Shogun's power?" Miko thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Then, Mei, what do you plan to do?"
"Didn't I say it before? I'll do a slash too."
Saying this, Acheron walked forward a few steps and directly drew the blade in her hand.
Boom—
Accompanied by a flash of blade light, the connection between the distant Resistance camp and the mainland was severed in a single stroke.
Moreover, since the Resistance camp happened to be situated right next to the gorge left by the Raiden Shogun previously, Acheron's attack formed a cross shape with that gorge, directly turning the Resistance camp into an isolated island near the mainland.
Miko: "..."
Looking at this scene, Miko suddenly didn't know what to say.
*
Resistance Camp.
Boom—
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire Resistance camp instantly fell into chaos.
Some were looking for where the enemy was, some were looking for their weapons, and others were nervously putting on their armor.
However, the expected shouts and the figures of enemies did not appear. Instead, a cloud of dust rose up outside for some unknown reason, and it swept from left to right. They didn't know what was happening.
"Everyone, stay calm!"
At this moment, Gorou walked out and shouted very loudly.
No matter what, they couldn't lose their footing, or else they would be finished.
"You few, come out with me to have a look!"
After looking inside the camp for a long time and seeing no sign of any enemy, only the dust in front of the camp slowly dissipating from an unknown cause, Gorou decided to go out and check the situation.
And just after they came out, a look of disbelief appeared on everyone's face.
The road they passed every day was now actually broken?
What on earth...
Is going on?
Was that loud noise just now caused by this breaking apart?
Standing on the edge and watching the seawater constantly pouring in below, Gorou's expression was very grim.
He didn't know why this was happening, but he knew they had been targeted by someone.
Could it be...
The Raiden Shogun?!
Turning his head to look at the gorge on the other side, Gorou's expression became even uglier.
Obviously, the only one who could cause such destruction that changed the landscape was likely a god.
If the Raiden Shogun makes a move...
Standing beside the gorge, Gorou didn't continue thinking down that line.
After all, they had the Great Serpent before, yet even it disappeared amidst the Raiden Shogun's lightning, let alone them now.
Tap, tap, tap—
Just then, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out from behind everyone, causing a wave of nervousness.
Isn't that...
That shrine maiden?
Upon seeing the other party, Gorou became even more convinced that the Raiden Shogun had already arrived here, and the attack just now had been unleashed by Her.
"People of Sangonomiya, I am here to discuss conditions with you."
Stopping not far from Gorou, Miko spoke slowly.
Since the 'Raiden Shogun' was here, she had to act a bit differently from usual.
"What conditions?"
Not expecting the other party to demand immediate surrender or the like, Gorou was quite surprised.
But even so, he wanted to see what the other party's conditions were first.
"Immediately cease confrontation with the Shogunate Army. Of course, the Shogunate Army will not launch attacks against you henceforth, nor will there be any sneak attacks."
