After several days of recuperation, Lei Yin finally made a full recovery.

The decrease in soul power control caused by the breakthrough had also disappeared, and the fluctuations in his body were completely restrained.

He stood in front of the full-length mirror in his room, adjusting his clothes, gently smoothing the wrinkles on his collar, his fingers slowly moving along the edge.

His expression was focused, carefully adjusting the buttons on his cuffs.

After adjusting himself to the best condition, Lei Yin slowly walked out of the room, his leather boots clacking against the ground.

His expression was solemn and serious, his eyes as sharp as knives.

It was night, there was no moon, and countless stars twinkled in the sky.

The wind howled, bringing a bit of desolation and solemnity.

"Although you usually give people a somewhat serious feeling, today this feeling is particularly strong."

Romier greeted him.

"Although it's likely just an abandoned clone, it is, after all, what he left behind, so I must go all out," Lei Yin said in a deep voice.

"There's not much I can do, so... I wish you victory in battle."

Romier rarely put away his lazy, annoying look and said solemnly.

"Mm." Lei Yin nodded.

At the gate, he saw Gu Yuena, wearing a white long dress, her crystal-like silver hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes as deep as stars.

She was looking up at the sky.

The spiritual network that covered the entire Night Capital still existed.

Even in her prime, she couldn't envelop Night Capital with her spiritual power for such a long time...

Is it some special soul skill? She wondered to herself.

"What are you looking at?" Lei Yin followed Gu Yuena's gaze to the sky, "That spiritual network? To be able to detect it, it seems you're not simple either..."

"What exactly is it used for?"

After spending this time together, Gu Yuena discovered that neither Romier nor Lei Yin seemed interested in exploring her origins, and they never asked about the peculiarities she displayed, so she gradually became bolder.

Lei Yin smiled and replied, "That's what Amon uses to monitor the entire city, it's just not too detailed.

"Once someone uses a strong soul power, he will sense it.

"He said before that he had noticed a disharmony in fate, so he tried to use this method to catch the rat that sneaked in."

Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat, she felt that this "rat" was likely referring to herself.

Fortunately, I didn't use soul power, fortunately, I've been disguising myself well... Gu Yuena gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

However, Lei Yin's next sentence almost made her lose her composure.

"Romier and I both know that the 'rat' he's talking about is probably you... but that's not important, the real Amon has already disappeared.

Romier and I are not loyal to that fat man sitting on the throne now, so you can rest assured."

"How did you realize it was me?"

Lei Yin replied in a gentle tone: "Romier discovered it, maybe he was planning to form a maid corps, it's hard not to notice a beauty like you.

With a little observation, you can find your abnormality... I'm not sure about Romier's side, but I only just confirmed it now.

Well... I just mentioned it casually, I didn't expect you to admit it.

It seems you also understand your own specialness very well."

Gu Yuena choked, Romier and Lei Yin's relaxed attitude towards her before made her feel that the three of them were already a group, so she gradually relaxed her vigilance towards them.

She was silent for a while before realizing that this didn't seem important... Amon wouldn't come looking for her for the time being, and she, Lei Yin, and Romier, are currently a group, so that's right.

"I'm going to 'assassinate' that fat man, the 'Blood Emperor', he should have most of Amon's abilities, if you want to peek into Amon's reality, you can come and watch," Lei Yin said.

Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that you are not only disloyal to that clone, but also to 'Amon' himself."

"Loyal or disloyal, I'm not sure for the time being, but I hope more people will test him and make him expose more things," Lei Yin replied.

"You know my identity?"

"I don't know, but those who are qualified to attract his attention are nothing more than a few possibilities, that has nothing to do with me..."

...

After Lei Yin and Gu Yuena left, starlight lit up in the courtyard of the Minister of Etiquette's residence, emerging from ants, earthworms, ornamental fish, flowers, trees, and even microorganisms in the air, gathering together to form a thin youth wearing a black ancient robe and a pointed soft hat.

"Captain, Lei Yin has gone over... did you really kill Little Miss?" Romier asked while picking his nose.

"Guess."

"Guess if I guess or not..." Romier flicked his booger towards Amon.

"When are you going to get rid of that 'rat'? I've been worried and unable to sleep or eat lately..."

Amon pinched his monocle, a smile on his face: "I think you're enjoying it quite a bit."

Romier "heh"ed: "It was really fun to order her to pour tea and water when she was disguised before, but later, after getting familiar with her and realizing that we had discovered her abnormality, it became boring after she gradually let go of herself.

Silver Dragon King... King of Soul Beasts... Captain, what do you think of her? Are you planning to kill her and hunt for her soul ring?"

Amon spread his hands, "I've had that thought, but unfortunately, as of now, I can't beat her..."

Although constantly sending out avatars to harass and exhaust the heavily injured Silver Dragon King would have a certain degree of success, the resulting commotion would be too great, attracting the attention of the God Realm and causing more high-ranking beings to descend and interfere. This would disrupt the situation and not be in Amon's best interest.

Therefore, Amon's attitude towards the Silver Dragon King had always been one of respectful distance. When she came to his door, he tried his best to "appease" her, having Romier accompany her in a play to buy time.

"Even Captain can't beat her..." Romier's eyebrows twitched, somewhat surprised.

...

The thunderous sound passed unhindered through the gate, and under the gaze of the guards, he arrived at the garden.

Sure enough, the chubby Amon was embracing a scantily clad, beautiful woman, playing in the pool.

Seeing Lei Yin, he stopped what he was doing, waved his hand, and signaled the woman to leave.

"Lei Yin, I thought you'd be coming soon. Are you ready?" 'Blood Emperor' Amon plucked a monocle from the void and embedded it in his right eye socket.

"You knew I was coming? Did the main body tell you?"

The chubby Amon plastered a smile on his face: "No, I haven't been in contact with the main body for a long time. He cut off communication with me..."

"Although personalities may differ, the underlying logic is the same. With a little thought, I can guess what role I would play."

"But I won't just sit around and wait for death. Even as a clone, I don't want to die... In the absence of definite instructions, I will act according to my own will."

"So, are you really ready? If you fail, you will die."

Lei Yin's expression was solemn, and he said earnestly, "I have made my choice."

Lightning suddenly flashed, cutting through the night sky, piercing the darkness, and illuminating the entire Night Capital.

Under the cover of the night, Lei Yin had long since activated the ninth soul ring provided by the Steel Sea Dragon, gathering thunderclouds in the sky.

Countless lightning snakes danced and weaved between the clouds, and the sound of thunder echoed through the heavens.

Lei Yin shot into the air, increasing the distance: "Thunder Tribulation!"

Large masses of lightning fell from the sky, accompanied by deafening roars and bright, dazzling light.

The chubby Amon only took one step forward, and in an instant, he arrived behind Lei Yin.

Gu Yuena, who was secretly "peering", narrowed her pupils. Amon's simple step just now involved the manipulation and use of rules.

Lei Yin had long been prepared for this. His right arm wrapped around his left shoulder, and his index finger extended forward, firing rays of light.

Amon reached forward and grabbed the laser beam shooting towards him, casually throwing it to the side.

Lei Yin's attack did not stop. A sizzling sound rang out as he ascended again, gathering countless thunderbolts, forming a giant lightning dragon hundreds of meters long in the air.

The giant dragon had a pair of wings on its back, and curved, sharp horns on its head, like a crown. Electric light surrounded its body, and countless lightning snakes seemed to guard the monarch's subjects.

Countless people ran out of their homes in panic, looking at the thunder dragon entrenched in the sky, with expressions of fear on their faces, and fled towards the outside of the city.

For a time, the streets were filled with people in disheveled clothes. After all, it was late at night, and many people had fallen asleep. After being awakened by the thunder, they hurriedly put on their clothes and began to flee for their lives.

At this time, the city guards, who had been prepared for this, began to maintain order and evacuate people under the command of Romier, and incidentally promoted that General Lei Yin was dissatisfied with the Tyrant's tyranny and bravely launched a challenge to save the country from fire and water.

"Summoning: Thunder Orbs!"

The giant dragon opened its mouth and spat out thunderballs the size of houses.

After the ninth soul ring skill "Thundercloud" is activated, it can autonomously gather the surrounding thunder elements without continuously consuming soul power or mental power.

The head soul bone "Gathering Thunder" has absorbed the electricity in the object and incorporated it into its own body. The more electricity-rich the absorbed object is, the faster the current absorption speed will be.

The combination of these two skills allows Lei Yin to unleash powerful moves wantonly with very little consumption.

His soul power seemed to be inexhaustible, and thunderballs fell like rain.

Amon "heh"ed, "This is still a bit worse than Poseidon's Thunderstorm."

He stretched out his palm, and soul power materialized to form a barrier, protecting his entire body.

The thunderballs exploded after falling on the ground, forming explosions, making bursts of "rumbling" loud noises.

However, these explosive range attacks did not have strong single-point penetration and failed to break Amon's soul power barrier.

Amon showed a smile... Lei Yin's attacks, in addition to being swift and fierce, also had good sound and light effects. He was deliberately showing the residents of the city his power, making the name "Thunder God" more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In addition, there were many spies from the Martial Soul Empire deliberately left by Lei Yin in the Night Capital. These spies would transmit the scenes of tonight to their respective forces, making his name resound throughout the continent.

In the past, although Lei Yin was powerful, his battles were influenced by Amon, pursuing the simplest and most efficient means to kill opponents, and the momentum displayed was basically not too great.

Tonight, he not only wanted to defeat the "Blood Emperor", but also to engrave the image of himself controlling the great power of thunder into the hearts of everyone in the most intuitive and violent posture.
