Ei transformed into a streak of lightning and followed behind Su Xuan. The two flew for an unknown distance until Su Xuan hovered over a deserted island.
"This place is beyond the borders of Inazuma. The sea is vast and uninhabited. Let's test our swords here."
Su Xuan scanned below, and Ei simultaneously followed his gaze, then recollected herself and said: "This place is indeed suitable for an all-out battle."
"Last time, the Shogun attacked you first. This time, it's your turn to make the first move."
"I'll take this opportunity to experience the superpower you mentioned."
Su Xuan's eyes moved slightly.
Ei was really quite dense; her words made it sound as if he wouldn't be able to make a move once she started.
Fine! Arguing with Ei was just asking for trouble.
Su Xuan didn't mind, he asked with a smile: "So, are you ready?"
Ei nodded gently, a purple light flashed, and the Engulfing Lightning appeared in her hand: "I'm ready, you can come at me."
The next second, Su Xuan simply raised his hand.
Ei's eyes narrowed sharply, her pupils contracting suddenly.
She didn't feel any surging energy attacking her.
However, in an instant, she discovered that the originally calm sea beneath her had suddenly stirred up hundred-meter-high waves, engulfing her in a blink of an eye.
Immediately after, Su Xuan clenched his palm, and the surging giant waves transformed into a water cyclone, spinning rapidly.
All the girls: "!?"
"Uh…"
"Ei is still Ei, so adorably naive it makes one laugh and cry."
"I already told her that my Psychokinesis can control surrounding objects, yet she still let me make the first move."
"I've never encountered such an absurd request."
"Doesn't she worry that I might directly control her body and then twist her neck?"
"However, speaking of which, even if she made the first move, unless she could kill me with one strike, it wouldn't matter who went first."
"Psychokinesis is a power that cannot be dodged; it can only be endured."
"I only need a moment's reaction time to control Ei's body."
"Then I can twist her into a pretzel."
"Of course, if Ei's own mental will and physical resilience, combined, contain enough energy to surpass the Psychokinesis I exert."
"Then I'd have no good solution."
All the girls: "!?"
No wonder he dared to raid the Ongyokikan and challenge the Electro Archon to a sword test.
The nature of Psychokinesis was truly terrifying.
As long as a person couldn't meet the standard to resist Psychokinesis, Su Xuan could twist them to death instantly.
However, Su Xuan effortlessly raised a hundred-meter-tall wave, and with a clench of his hand, the hundred-meter-tall wave transformed into a water spou in seconds.
Which mortal human would dare to claim their strength could surpass a hundred-meter-tall wave?
If one were to become Su Xuan's enemy, by the time they reacted, they would find themselves twisted into a ball.
What's the point of fighting then!
....
The originally calm sea formed countless whirlpools under the rotation of the water spout.
The clear sky also began to turn gloomy.
Boom!
A sudden thunderclap, and the water spout was instantly shattered by a burst of lightning from within.
Raiden Ei, her head still spinning from the rotation, reappeared before Su Xuan like a drowned rat.
Just as she broke free from the water spout's rotation, a massive shadow enveloped her once more.
She looked up to see a giant rock, dozens of meters high, smashing down with the force of Mount Tai.
"Radiant Edict!"
Raiden Ei had no time for many thoughts; the moment she swung the Engulfing Lightning, a purple blade light shot out, splitting the mountain-like giant rock in two on the spot.
After cutting down the giant rock, Raiden Ei got a moment to catch her breath, and seeing that Su Xuan didn't make another move, she finally asked, "That giant rock just now was..."
Su Xuan pointed to the uninhabited island beneath their feet: "Moved from the island."
Raiden Ei followed his gaze downwards, only then noticing a deep pit on the uninhabited island that hadn't been there before.
"Did he move a mountain?" Raiden Ei murmured, "This is indeed a terrifying power, capable of moving mountains and stirring the sea..."
"It's not like that," Su Xuan shook his head, "Moving mountains and stirring the sea, such tricks were common during the God War era."
"Controlling objects with Psychokinesis is merely the simplest operation."
"I said before that the essence of Psychokinesis belongs to energy, and since it's energy, it possesses its own power."
As Su Xuan explained, he lightly tapped his finger.
A piece of rubble suspended in mid-air slowly came before him.
Raiden Ei watched silently, and when the rubble rested in Su Xuan's hand, its surface was covered with a faint glow.
"For example, even a piece of rubble the size of a palm, when covered with Psychokinesis, can generate enough power to pierce through a mountain range."
As his words fell, the Psychokinesis-covered rubble, like a beam of light, streaked past Raiden Ei's side at an imperceptible speed.
Boom!
Hearing the loud bang behind her, Raiden Ei suddenly turned around, only to find that the giant rock she had split in two was now shattered by the rubble that had just flown past.
And looking at all the glowing rubble behind her, Raiden Ei involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.
If just one of these fell into Inazuma City, the resulting power would be enough to destroy an entire bustling street.
If this group of rubble were to fall, Raiden Ei couldn't even imagine what Inazuma City would become; it would probably disappear from the continent in a short time.
"However, if I wanted to defeat you, Psychokinesis should have an even more direct and convenient effect."
"Do you want to try it?"
Su Xuan's voice interrupted the panicked Raiden Ei.
She slowly regained her composure, her gaze once again falling on Su Xuan: "There's an even more direct method?"
Su Xuan nodded lightly: "Actually, I only need to attach Psychokinesis to your body to cause you immense DMG using twisting force."
"It's just that such a situation is difficult to control, and unless I'm absolutely set on killing the opponent, I don't want to try it."
"After all, if my mental focus deviates even slightly, the result is either a broken arm or a missing leg."
"But compared to that, there's another way."
"For example, like this..."
With that, Su Xuan lightly flicked his finger.
Raiden Ei didn't even have time to react; a ring of light directly encircled her fair neck.
"What is this!" Raiden Ei was greatly alarmed.
Unable to perceive, unable to capture the energy's movement, yet an energy ring of light had been placed around her neck.
This phenomenon was too bizarre.
Raiden Ei instinctively grabbed the light ring that had appeared around her neck with both hands, trying to forcefully break free from its restraint.
But no matter how hard Raiden Ei struggled, the light ring remained firmly clamped around her neck, as steady as Mount Tai.
"Let's just call it a Psychokinesis Light Ring; it's a ring created out of thin air by Psychokinesis, capable of restraining a target."
"It's freely adjustable."
As Su Xuan explained, Raiden Ei suddenly felt her breathing constrict.
The light ring around her neck was tightening with a force she couldn't stop.
"H-He... breathing..."
At this moment, Raiden Ei herself was like she was suspended in mid-air, caught by a light ring embedded in the sky.
Her legs thrashed continuously due to obstructed breathing.
Her strength also rapidly faded from the choking constriction, and after a short while, her entire body went still.
Su Xuan: "....."
"Isn't Raiden Ei the Electro God?"
"I remember she should be the God born from lightning; how could she have problems with breathing?"
"Could it be that Raiden Makoto was the God born from lightning, and Raiden Ei was the God born from Raiden's shadow?"
"That's not right either; you, a mighty God, still need to breathe?"
"Oh my God!"
"I just wanted to test if you could break free from my Psychokinesis, and you pull this on me?"
"Big sister, please don't die."
"...."
All the women: "!?"
