Chapter 35

## Chapter Chronology

**Unrestrained vs. Unrestrained** is the 35th chapter of the "*Shuumatsu no Valkyrie: Record of Ragnarok*" manga series.

## Summary

To the complete and utter shock of the Gods, Heimdall declares that Shiva's lower left arm has been completely destroyed by Raiden Tameemon. Looking at his fist, Raiden calls his power insane. Zeus asks Hermes what happened and Hermes says nothing in particular – Raiden just grabbed Shiva's arm and crushed it. A few minutes earlier, Raiden finishes releasing his **Hundred Seals** and asks Shiva not to break on him. Shiva gets excited and Raiden charges at Shiva with great speeds, unlike earlier. Raiden lifts up his right fist and as it and the tattoos around it shine, Raiden warns Shiva to be careful since not even he knows what will happen if he swings at full force.

Shiva brings up all four of his arms but is unable to block against Raiden's fist, getting blown back as a result. Raiden follows and unleashes a barrage of punches that keep pushing Shiva back.

Shiva finally regains his footing, only for Raiden to use **Kiku-Ichimonji**.

Raiden clotheslining Shiva and making the Hindu God of Destruction land flat on his face. The Gods react with awe at Raiden overwhelming Shiva while Humanity continues to cheer Raiden on. Kajinosuke Tanikaze exclaims he's overcome with emotion as he cries.

He mentions how he never thought he'd see the day where Raiden could fight without holding back and Kisaburo Onogawa agrees, stating that Raiden's true strength lies within his spirit before recalling how the sumo ring was just too small for him. Agreeing, Kajinosuke continues to cheer on Raiden. Göll is surprised that Raiden isn't just a pervert and begins to believe that Humanity really can take the lead against the Gods in this round. After getting up, Shiva coughs and continuously sways. Grabbing Shiva's head, Raiden apologizes and says he'll be ending it all here.

He uses **Jizo's Embrace** and attempts to headbutt Shiva, only for the Hindu God to meet Raiden's headbutt with a headbutt of his own. Smirking, Shiva utilizes his upper arms by smacking Raiden in the chest before uppercutting the rikishi with both his lower arms. As Raiden gets forced back, Shiva insists no-one is more "headstrong" than him and proceeds to say it is his turn. Charging in, Shiva punches Raiden with his four arms continuously, forcing Raiden to keep his defense up. A member of Humanity's crowd says that those peashooters won't do anything to Raiden but a sweating Kajinosuke asks if those look like peashooters to Kisaburo.

Nervous, Kisaburo notes that each blow looks like it contains the force of an entire cannon. Steadily getting pushed back, Raiden punches Shiva in the face to break his flow but Shiva takes it and continues to keep going.

Kajinosuke and Kisaburo urge Raiden to stay strong as the rikishi keeps taking on Shiva's attacks. When Shiva punches him in the abdominal area, Raiden falls to his knees. Taking this chance, Raiden grips tightly onto Shiva's lower left arm. Shiva tells him to let go but Raiden refuses to, before expanding the muscle mass in his arms. He uses **Wild Boar** and begins squeezing hard on Shiva's arm. Shouting in pain, Shiva kicks Raiden away and as his lower left arm hangs off, Raiden tells Shiva that he could've let his arm break cleanly, which brings us to the present. Göll is shocked by the strength of history's strongest muscles but Brunhilde says that isn't all, as if it were, its destructive powers would be far too weak.

Raiden's **Völundr** allows him to freely move his previously rampaging muscles around his body. For example, just now, Raiden focused his muscles into his forearms to crush Shiva's arm. As Raiden's forearms shrink, he calls his power insane.

Brunhilde states that, from now on, this battle will head in a direction that not even Raiden will know, as he continues to learn about the extent of his power during this fight. Third of the thirteen Valkyrie sisters – Thrud. The meaning of her name is "The Strong One." Humanity continue to cheer for Raiden while the Gods begin considering the possibility that Shiva may lose this battle and Humanity may actually take the lead. However, the Hindu Gods who knew Shiva, had an entirely different reaction. One says that Shiva won't lose to a boy like Raiden and another says it's because his fists contain the spirits of all 1116 of them. Yet another Hindu God yells in support of Shiva and every single Hindu God begin shouting for the man who stands at the peak to win this. Huffing, Shiva inwardly says he knew that they've all been watching him. Never having once betrayed his companions' hopes, Shiva smiles and remarks on how he has no choice: he can't let them down.
