Chapter 577: Don't be like this, you already have Ei!

Over in Inazuma.

Raiden Makoto naturally received the order as well.

Possessing more knowledge and secrets, she understood very well what kind of crisis this was.

Therefore, she did not want Ei to go.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Principles had summoned the seven archons; it would be awkward for Ei to go there.

After all, Ei was resurrected by her.

Usually, the Heavenly Principles turned a blind eye to them.

If Ei were to go as well, it would be a bit too confrontational.

There was no other way.

This was the plight of two sisters with no connections and no backing.

Who could say why a war of mutual hatred had once occurred on Celestia?

And the two sisters had obtained a small portion of the legacy of the deceased God of Life; it was already good enough that Makoto could be one of the Seven Archons of the mortal world.

If Ei were to go and stir up trouble, it would be unimaginable.

So, Raiden Makoto hid it from Ei and headed to Khaenri'ah.

This was a matter she could not tell her.

Only Seimei (Ye Ruo) noticed this situation and intercepted Raiden Makoto halfway.

"Why, why must you avoid Ei?"

"What on earth has happened?"

Looking at Seimei (Ye Ruo) at this moment, Raiden Makoto's face was full of complexity and emotion.

Then, Makoto explained the situation.

This caused him to fall silent as well.

"Is it absolutely necessary to go?"

"How about I go with you?"

Makoto only shook her head slowly.

"The order of the Heavenly Principles cannot be defied. Not to mention that this time, it is truly very serious."

"You must stay in Inazuma. Once I disappear, and you disappear too, Ei will immediately react."

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Principles ordered us few archons to go. With that person leading the way, there is no need for the gods to bring anyone else."

Then, both sides fell into a long silence.

Until Seimei (Ye Ruo) spoke again.

"I understand, but please take this."

He summoned the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword and channeled most of his power into the blade.

Because of the excessive effort, Seimei (Ye Ruo)'s face turned visibly pale.

He even coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Seimei!"

Makoto cried out in worry.

"It's nothing. Although the simulated life authority isn't much, the thunder authority, with Ei's help, has become increasingly powerful."

"You yourself also possess the power of thunder."

"So, if you use the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, you can also enhance your strength somewhat. I have already given you the authorization to use it."

"I'm sorry, this sword is all I can help with; after all, this sword is currently my strongest power."

Seimei (Ye Ruo) wiped away the blood and smiled apologetically.

After all, his research had only just gotten on the right track.

With this sword, he could be considered a full-fledged Great Onmyoji.

Capable of using the authority of thunder.

And thus, able to catch a glimpse of the world of gods.

Without the sword, he would at most be an adeptus.

And now, he was severely weakened.

This moved Makoto deeply.

"Then, I leave Inazuma to you and Ei; I must set off."

"Thank you for such a sacrifice."

Upon leaving, Makoto gave him a polite hug to express her gratitude.

It also represented their friendship.

And no longer the monarch and subject they were before.

However, Makoto quickly blushed and pulled away.

Because she sensed Seimei (Ye Ruo)'s natural reaction.

"Don't, don't be like this, you already have Ei."

"I, I'm leaving now!"

Even as gentle as she was, she would still blush when it came to such matters.

Seimei (Ye Ruo) felt slightly awkward; after all, Makoto's figure was truly good.

A mature version of Ei.

"You must come back safely."

"Mm."

After Makoto responded gently, she headed to Khaenri'ah.

No one expected it.

On this trip, Makoto did not return.

From this point on, it was a parting.

And in the following time, the calamity expanded even further.

A pitch-black calamity descended upon the seven nations.

The legendary alchemist known as 【Gold】, Rhinedottir, fell and became a sinner, creating a large number of pitch-black and eerie monsters that began to assault the Teyvat continent!

It was fine in the other nations on the main continent.

The Inazuma archipelago encountered immense trouble!

From the beginning, Yōrakusai was already involved in the affairs of the Abyss, and even Kitsune Saiguu knew that a disaster was coming. Coupled with what Gold had done, Inazuma was destined to endure multiple crises.

There were local ones, and there were those from Khaenri'ah.

Not to mention the large number of wild beasts and monsters appearing on the land of Inazuma; those eerie creatures could tear through space and travel here.

Those were the Demon-Blood Beasts capable of eroding the world.

They were like a pack of wolves.

They possessed the authority to dissolve space and create convenient rifts for passage!

Obstacles had no effect on them.

This was the reason why the various nations of Teyvat would not waste effort building long city walls to defend against enemies.

Once a certain level was reached, these basic structures were useless.

They would simply move through space.

Consequently, for Inazuma, endless black fog directly enveloped the place, and darkness ruled everywhere.

The lightless mist continued to spread and expand.

Those emotionless monsters attacked like a tide.

They would only savagely tear and slaughter everything; the traces of human existence would be devoured by them!

Countless people were torn to pieces.

The Shogunate samurai were all mobilized, fighting against the monsters.

And there was supreme thunder light tearing through this darkness.
