The Eleaginon was different from the Railgun. While the Railgun relied on pure eleagic propulsion, the Eleaginon harnessed both electriergy arifugal feed by high-speed rotation.

  Though it cked the pierg power of the Railgun, it pensated with sheer destructive potential. In fact, it was Kaminari's most powerful attack yet.

  But such immense power came with a cost. When the Eleaginon collided with the giant bear's blood-infused Destru Beam, the resulting explosion didn't just obliterate the battlefield, it overwhelmed Kaminari's Registeel strud directly endangered him.

  He had been too close to the ter of the bst.

  Forced to abandon his meditative state, Kaminari celed his trol over the Registeel. His survival instincts took over, and in a fsh of desperatioivated his High-Voltage mode areated at the speed of sound.

  Picture it:

  A swirling ball of golden and crimson energy expanded violently, tearing through everything in its path. Trees, animals, and even the ground itself were ed, leaving a barren crater in its wake.

  Kaminari ran, lightning surging through his body, the edge of the explosion only timeters behind him. The expanding energy felt like it was breathing down his neck.

  He didn't need calcutions or theories to know what would happen if it touched him. Even his cer's Golden Cloth wouldn't protect him.

  He khis with absolute certainty.

  The desire to survive screamed at him, warning him to keep running no matter what.

  Finally, just as the energy wave began to dissipate, Kaminari skidded to a halt, his breathing ragged.

  "That was way too close…" Kaminari muttered, the lingering fear evident in his wide eyes.

  He gnced back at the battlefield, where the explosion had carved out a massive crater. The devastation stretched for fifty meters in every dire.

  Looking at the barren, sm ground, Kaminari couldn't help but exhale in disbelief. "This is ihe radius alone is massive."

  He chuckled dryly, his fideurning. "But with that kind of power, even if that thing survived, it'd definitely be on its st legs."

  But as Kaminari sed the battlefield, his smirk faded.

  There, in the middle of the crater, stood the five-meter giant bear.

  Its once-majestic bck fur was charred, clumps of it burned away to reveal scorched, pitted skin. Bck smoke rose from its battered frame, filling the air with the acrid stench of burning flesh.

  It had clearly taken severe damage, but it was still standing.

  Kaminari's eyes narrowed. This wasn't just resiliehis was something unnatural.

  The explosion hadn't just been his attack; it had also included the bear's owru Beam. The bined force should have been enough to overwhelm eveoughest oppo.

  Yet, somehow, it still refused to fall.

  The answer became clear as Kaminari observed the bear's movements.

  It was weakehe massive creature's body swayed unsteadily, its energy depleted. The intense Destru Beam had drais reserves of "blood energy."

  Kaminari now uood why that ability was only used in moments of desperation. Every time the bear fired one of those beams, it ed a signifit amount of its vital energy.

  And from the looks of it, this test attack had pushed the bear to its limit.

  "ROAR!!!"

  Even so, the giant bear let out a deafening roar, its bloodshot eyes fixed on Kaminari. It wasn't the roar of a king or a predator, it was the mournful, defiant cry of a mother who had lost everything.

  Kaminari's expression hardened. He didn't flinor did he show pity. Instead, he crouched slightly and csped his left hand over his right wrist.

  "Maybe Hideo and his grandson did something unfivable to you…" Kaminari said quietly.

  "But I'm sorry. I'm human."

  "Zzzzzt!"

  Goldericity crackled in Kaminari's right hand, growing brighter and more inteh each passing sed. The sound was sharper, harsher than anything he'd unleashed before—even the Lightning Dragon's Roar and the Eleaginon.

  Oher side, the giant bear's instincts kicked into overdrive. Every nerve in its body screamed of impending doom.

  Danger.

  Danger.

  Danger.

  "ROAR!!!"

  The bear, now more beast thaure, roared again, its primal instincts driving it to fight. But the advanced AI in Kaminari's battle suit, Pikachu, had already firmed through ss that the bear's current strength was at its lowest.

  It couldn't win.

  "It's time to end this," Kaminari muttered. His golden eyes glinted with resolve. "Uhis Raikiri... even the heavens would split."

  The electriergy in Kaminari's palm densed into a dark golden sphere, crag wildly with power.

  In a fsh of light, Kaminari vanished, leaving only a streak of golden lightning in his wake.

  "ROAR!!!"

  The bear felt it—a cold, deadly pressure bearing down on it. In desperation, it opes mouth o time, gathering the remnants of its strength.

  "Buzz!"

  A blood-colored energy cluster formed in its jaws, but this time its once-mighty body visibly shrank. Its desperation had forced it to sacrifice more of its already depleted reserves.

  "BOOM!!!"

  With a roar filled with rage, despair, and sorrow, the bear unleashed its final attack. A massive beam of blood-red energy tore through the air, hurtling toward the golden streak that was Kaminari.

  The two forces collided.

  "ZZZZZT!!!"

  Instead of exploding, the two attacks ground against each other, like cws tearing through fabric.

  Kaminari pushed forward, his dark golden sphere tearing apart the blood-red beam with sheer, uing power. Meter by meter, he closed the distaween himself and the bear.

  "I hope you are reinated as something else in your life." Kaminari said solemnly as he approached.

  To his surprise, the words didn't e from a pce ahey carried a genuine sense of finality, almost like a prayer.

  But just as Kaminari prepared to deliver the finishing blow, a voice rang out.

  "Stop! Kaminari!!"

  The voice was familiar, sharp and anding.

  Before Kaminari could process what was happening, a streak of white shot through the air at twice the speed of sound. It coiled around Kaminari's wrist, yanking it away from the bear and smming the charged Raikiri into the ground.

  "BOOM!!!"

  The groued, but the bear remained untouched.

  Areak of white ed around the bear's neck, pulling it to the ground with surprisileness. Though the bear was immobilized, it was still alive.

  "Master?!" Kaminari excimed, staring at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

  Standing not far from him was Edgeshot, his sharp eyes calm yet firm.

  "Kaminari," Edgeshot said, his voice steady but grave, "we are not qualified to kill it."

  Kaminari blinked, stunned. His mind raced, but no words came out.

  In the distahe blurry figures of Hideo and Ryoichi could be seen, though they were too far away to intervene.

  "What?" Kaminari whispered, frozen in pce.

  The battlefield fell silent, leaving Kaminari to grapple with the weight of Edgeshot's words. What expnation could his master possibly give?
