["Only through Eternity are you closest to the Heavenly Principles." A woman with long dark purple hair tied into a braid hanging down her back, dressed in a purple kimono, and wearing black thigh-high socks, Raiden Shogun, raised her sword towards the sky.]
[As her voice descended, a powerful, endless stream of lightning burst forth from the tip of her sword towards the sky, spreading out in all directions.]
[In just a few moments, the powerful lightning formed a massive lightning barrier around a region.]
[From time to time, bolts of lightning struck down, creating huge craters on both the sea and the land!]
Gion: "So strong, such a vast range of lightning power, comparable to the most elite Logia Devil Fruit users!"
Black Maria: "Arton, this man, has acquired another character template, and it's such a powerful one!"
Whitey Bay: "We must find Arton faster. I might have a chance to gain the power of this template."
["Lightning is eternal, the world is but shadow!" Raiden Ei waved her hand, opening a part of the Plane of Euthymia, forming a pattern around her that shone with lightning.]
[Then, Raiden Ei summoned the long polearm "Musou no Hitotachi" and charged into the battlefield.]
[In the blink of an eye, hundreds of enemies fell lifeless under Raiden Ei's naginata.]
Tashigi: "What... what a powerful slash!"
Gion: "Not only does she possess powerful lightning, but her use of the naginata is also so strong?"
Charlotte Smoothie: "I really want this kind of power."
["Torn to oblivion!" Raiden Ei gently placed her right hand on the lightning shining from her chest and slowly drew out the blade "Musou Isshin". As it fully emerged, countless powerful lightning energies began to concentrate on Musou Isshin.]
[Then, with a single slash, a massive lightning blade beam was sent towards the distant, sky-covering giant snake-shaped demon god Orobashi.]
[Struck by the lightning blade, the demon god Orobashi was killed instantly. The remaining power of the Musou no Hitotachi fell to the ground, forming a long, majestic canyon.]
Ulti: "This... how is this possible? How can she possess such power?"
Gion: "This time, the character template Arton acquired is even more powerful than Tsunade, Elizabeth, and Yae Miko."
Black Maria: "Terrifying power. This kind of strength even surpasses that of an Admiral or a Yonko."
Charlotte Smoothie: "If I could obtain such power, I could even surpass Mama!"
Nami: "With such power, I could easily take down both the Arlong Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates. Arton is below the floating island, right? Do I have a chance to gain this power?"
Hina: "Divine-like power, and the video shows Raiden Ei's ability to fly. Will Arton use this template on himself and then fly up to the sky to find Shiki?"
Tashigi: "Yes, Arton doesn't have any other companions with him right now. If he's eager to use the Raiden Ei template, he might have to use it on himself. Then we would be able to see Raiden Ei's slashes and her use of the naginata and katana?"
Tashigi felt a bit regretful as she said this.
Although the demonstration video of Raiden Ei's skills only showed a glimpse of her power, Tashigi saw unparalleled technique in her slashes.
Even though she knew it was unlikely Arton would give the Raiden Ei template to a Marine like herself, Tashigi couldn't help but secretly hope to access Raiden Ei's power.
It was understandable.
Whether it was Raiden Ei's slashes or the naginata "Musou no Hitotachi" and the katana "Musou Isshin" used in the skill demonstration video, they held a strong allure for Tashigi, who loved swordsmanship and treasured famous blades.
"...In short, Raiden Ei is the god of Inazuma, the god who controls thunder, and a person who pursues the ultimate in martial arts."
Arton, with a faint smile on his face, explained Raiden Ei's background to Kaya, Uta, and Karina in front of him.
At this moment, the three were already stunned by the skill demonstration video Arton had uploaded and his explanations about Raiden Ei.
Seeing their reactions, Arton also smiled, sat down by himself, and began to think about where to use Raiden Ei's power.
[Raiden Ei is a god who has lived for thousands of years, possessing immense power. Even though the template I obtained is only a beginner level, I need to carefully consider who should inherit her power.]
[She pursued the ultimate in martial arts, mastered numerous techniques, and developed the "Musou no Hitotachi," which is the ultimate of ultimates, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.]
[Afterward, Raiden Ei's mindset changed, and she developed the even more powerful "Musou Isshin."]
[Who should inherit the power of such a remarkable template?]
Tashigi: "I see, so the slash that cut through the giant serpent and carved out a canyon was called 'Musou no Hitotachi'? And that's not even Raiden Ei's strongest slash?"
Rebecca: "Musou Isshin... I wonder how powerful that move is. I really want to see it."
Kozuki Hiyori: "Raiden Shogun, huh? Her position seems somewhat similar to that of the Shogun of Wano. No, she's not just a Shogun, but also a god."
"Unfortunately, I'm not by Arton's side right now. If I were, perhaps I would have a chance to gain such immense power."
Vinsmoke Reiju: "A god? Indeed, with that kind of power, it's fitting to be called a god."
Hibari: "Do gods really exist in this world?"
Doll: "Arton's system can even turn a god's power into a template?"
Hina: "So, obtaining Raiden Ei's power means having the chance to become a god?"
Charlotte Galette: "Living that long, she must be a god. Damn it, if only I were by his side to seize this opportunity."
Gion: "The opportunity to become a god? Arton doesn't intend to inherit Raiden Ei's template himself? Does his attributes not match Raiden Ei's?"
Gion's guess was right on the mark.
When Arton obtained the Raiden Ei template, the first thing he considered was whether he could use it himself.
Even though his current body couldn't fully unleash Raiden Ei's power, he believed that with time, he could train his strength to match Raiden Ei's level.
By then, not only would he master the power of thunder, but he would also gain the same long lifespan as Raiden Ei.
With such benefits, how could Arton not want to use the template himself?
Unfortunately, when he asked the system, he found that his current attributes only matched "Warrior" and "Swordsman" with Raiden Ei.
He was still missing one attribute to use Raiden Ei's template.
Because of this one missing attribute, he had to choose to give the Raiden Ei template to someone else.
[Raiden Ei possesses attributes of thunder, swordsman, warrior, woman, and god.]
[As the shogun of a nation, the ruler of a country, and a warrior pursuing great strength, Raiden Ei has many qualities.]
[To be worthy of this power and match Raiden Ei's attributes... Hmm, it seems that none of the characters I have drawn fit perfectly.]
[Gion from the Navy fits, but unfortunately, we fought before, so I can't give the power to her.]
Gion: "..."
[Tashigi from the Navy has the attributes of a swordsman, woman, and warrior, but she is also a Navy officer. I can't give the power to her unless she leaves the Navy.]
Tashigi: "..."
[Charlotte Smoothie? This woman is strong and confident, matching many of Raiden Ei's attributes. But she's in the New World, and I can't keep the Raiden Ei template waiting for her indefinitely.]
Charlotte Smoothie: "Damn it, I must find a way to get a mission out of Totto Land and find Arton as soon as possible."
[Thinking it over, it seems there aren't many people worthy of Raiden Ei's power.]
Whitey Bay: "I also use a sword; maybe I could be suitable for this power."
Charlotte Smoothie: "Just hold onto it then. When we meet, you can give it to me."
Nami: "Am I not suitable...? Well, I guess I don't really resemble Raiden Ei."
[No, if we could really find someone in this world who truly matches Raiden Ei, that would be a miracle.]
[Though the Celestial Dragons disgustingly call themselves gods, they are nothing but scum.]
[In reality, the Celestial Dragons are just descendants of the nineteen kings who betrayed the one great kingdom that could have brought peace and joy to the world 800 years ago.]
[To cover up their crimes, these disgusting people erased a century of history.]
[Haha, and these rotten people dare to call themselves descendants of the Creator and gods?]
[If it weren't for these bastards, this world would already be peaceful and happy, filled with laughter.]
[This world wouldn't be as filled with conflict and bloodshed as it is now.]
[If these people are gods, I'd like to ask them face to face if gods bleed, haha.]
Boom!
Arton's sudden diary entry was like a thunderclap in the ears of all the diary holders paying attention.
For a moment, all the diary holders were dumbfounded, staring at the content Arton had written in his diary.
