Chapter 103

Theoretically, the Seven Archons do not interfere in each other's national affairs, but since this is now threatening to harm her own nation, Morax must intervene.

(This is not to abuse Ei; the author’s two true loves are Seeing Seeing Keqing and the Shogun. I started playing Genshin because of them, but under this worldview, the Shogun truly deserves a beating. Everyone can put themselves in her shoes. Of course, I will cherish my waifus in the future. I believe everyone has thought of this! If I didn't do this, Ei wouldn't have come down with such a heavy hand, but rather would have raised it high and let it fall gently, as you can see from the original plot. Punishment.)

Not to mention Morax, even Barbatos is looking at Raiden Ei with shared hatred at this moment.

It feels very much like: "If you don't give us an explanation, we are going to follow the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and fight you."

Raiden Ei is also bewildered right now; she did not expect Morax and Barbatos to stand on the opposite side of her.

Yes, there have indeed been some problems within Inazuma, and I, the Raiden Shogun, am also very angry. I will resolve these matters later.

But this has nothing to do with you, right?

However, very quickly, Raiden Ei noticed the situation on the other islands.

There is almost no sign of civilians on Tatarasuna and Yashiori Island. You must know that before, these two islands combined had at least hundreds of thousands of people!

Why are there no civilians on these two islands now? And on Nazuchi Beach, the Shogunate army is at war—and those fighting them are people from Watatsumi Island?

This caused cold light to radiate from Raiden Ei's eyes. Clearly, Raiden Ei has misunderstood the situation at this moment.

In Raiden Ei's view, her Shogunate army could not possibly attack these innocent civilians. Although the Shogunate army seems to have problems now, she trusts her Inazuman army and does not trust the people of Watatsumi Island.

Are they really asking for it?

Raiden Ei has some understanding of the truth behind Orobashi's eastern invasion back then. It wanted to use its own death to fulfill the people of Watatsumi Island, allowing them to live under the sun. Feeling the greatness of Orobashi, she did not make things difficult for the people of Watatsumi Island after slaying it.

She even allowed them to pay tribute to Orobashi. As an Archon who came through the Archon War, Raiden Ei's behavior was undoubtedly very merciful.

After all, during the Archon War, it was a matter of "the winner takes all." As the subjects of a defeated Archon, if they did not want to perish, they needed to submit to the victorious Archon and become their subjects from then on.

Regarding Watatsumi Island, Raiden Ei definitely gave them preferential treatment. Yet, she did not expect these unruly people to love causing trouble day and night. Now they are even fighting the Shogunate army. Does she, Beelzebul, really look like someone easy to bully?

You must know that she, Beelzebul, is an Archon who truly fought her way out of the Archon War. Her sister was able to become the first Raiden Shogun also because she fought for her.

Even among the Seven Archons, Raiden Ei does not believe she would lose to anyone. This is her persistence as a warrior.

Even if she might not be a match for Morax, she won't lose her spirit, and she won't be far behind.

Her battle record was also carved out through slaughter; one only needs to look at the Archons she slew back then and her qualifications to become the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma to see that.

Inazuma is the nation closest to the Dark Sea, and she has been guarding it here. For so many years, no Archon from the Dark Sea has dared to run to Inazuma to cause trouble!

Raiden Ei's simple brain believes she has found the truth.

The unruly people of Watatsumi Island harmed the residents of Tatarasuna and Yashiori Island, and then the Shogunate army directly went to war with them.

Although the Shogunate army did not inform her that there were problems, it is reasonable for them to go to war with the Watatsumi Island army.

"The Mikage Furnace on Tatarasuna is leaking, and the power of Tatarigami is beginning to affect the surrounding seawater. This does not seem to be a natural disaster, but a man-made one!" At this moment, Regarding Regarding Zhongli spoke up suddenly.

"What? Σ(Д)" Regarding the Mikage Furnace, Raiden Ei actually has a lot of confidence. After all, the Mikage Furnace was designed by her personally, and she saw with her own eyes back then that Fontaine's scientists installed and operated it.

As for why Raiden Ei didn't do it herself at the time?

Sigh, at that time, wasn't she busy?

It was a mere trifle; wouldn't it be enough for her to create the design? If they couldn't build it even with the design, then these people would be too useless.

"It seems this is all Fontaine's scheme. I didn't expect the current Hydro Archon to scheme against my Inazuma like this!" Raiden Ei is more willing to trust her own people in Inazuma.

Subconsciously, she believes this is the Hydro Archon's scheme.

It's just that Raiden Ei probably doesn't know that the current Hydro Archon is even less reliable than she is.

"Enough, this is not Furina's scheme. Haven't you noticed that some materials of the Mikage Furnace have problems, which led to the leak!? And these materials were all produced in the last ten years." The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles stared at Raiden Ei and said in a cold tone.

Raiden Ei was shocked upon hearing this. She had entrusted the maintenance of the Mikage Furnace to the people of the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission.

Whether it was the production of materials or other things, they were responsible for it.

And now that the Mikage Furnace has problems, Raiden Ei naturally has to ask them.

Linking this to the current situation in Inazuma, no matter how dull Raiden Ei's brain is, she realized that the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission have problems.

But seeing the Anemo Archon, the Geo Archon, and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles standing together in shared hatred, Raiden Ei felt a headache.

"Beelzebul, Inazuma is on the verge of collapse because of you. You are no longer qualified to be the Raiden Shogun." The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles said in a cold tone.

Raiden Ei felt a wave of despair in her heart. No longer qualified to be the Raiden Shogun.

Is this to strip her away from Inazuma?

She pursues eternity; isn't it to let the people of Inazuma live a good life?

Looking at how many have died in Inazuma now, Raiden Ei couldn't help but doubt her life. She and the Raiden Shogun have indeed not done well enough.

There is one thing Raiden Ei doesn't know: at this moment, the Raiden Shogun's killing intent is even greater than Raiden Ei's.

She was created to protect the eternity of Inazuma, but now it seems someone is clearly destroying Inazuma's eternity. The Kanjou Commission, the Tenryou Commission, and even those guys in the Yashiro Commission have all betrayed her; they are attempting to hollow her out.

This made the Raiden Shogun realize many problems. It seems she has managed too little, and the people of Inazuma are in dire straits. This does not fit the definition of eternity.

Clearly, those guys destroyed Inazuma's eternity. Anyone who destroys eternity, no matter who they are, deserves to die!

"Inazuma was left to me by my sister. I will not allow anyone to take it away!" Raiden Ei looked at the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles with a solemn expression.

Even if she dies, she will not allow anyone to take Inazuma, even if this person in front of her is the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles!

Raiden Ei slowly drew the Musou Isshin from her chest. The meaning was self-evident: if the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles wants to take Inazuma away, she doesn't mind fighting to the death.

Seeing this scene, Morax and Barbatos frowned. At this moment, they are somewhat unsure of what Mu Yang is actually thinking.

Could it be that he really wants to strip Beelzebul of her position as the Raiden Shogun?

Well, regarding what Beelzebul has done, she is indeed not a qualified god. If such a thing happened to them, they would probably be so ashamed they would want to commit suicide, right?

"If you still want to be the Raiden Shogun, then prove it to me. I will give you one year—just one year. All problems in Inazuma must be resolved, whether it is the issue of Orobashi's divine grudge, the livelihood of the Inazuman people, or the problems of some greedy humans within.

Those who dare to hide things from their own god, who is to say they won't collude with the Abyss one day!

If you cannot resolve all of this, then you don't need to be the Raiden Shogun anymore. I will let someone else be the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma!

This is not just my will, but also the will of Heavenly Principles!" After a pause, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles continued: "Also, the Vision is bestowed by Heavenly Principles. Are you openly trying to go against Heavenly Principles?

If Inazuma had those Vision holders, those rampaging evils wouldn't be so rampant!

Let this be a warning!"

After speaking, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles opened a spatial channel, drilled into it, and left.

At first, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles also wanted to beat Raiden Ei up to vent her anger, but after seeing the other party's eyes and attitude, she changed her plan. The other party would spare nothing to attack her.

It's fine to beat the other party actively and teach them a small lesson, but once the other party attacks her, then the Raiden Shogun position is gone, and she could even die. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles also cares about her face.

Looking at the various discussions in the chat group, her superior seems to want to tease this Raiden Shogun more than kill her, so she decided not to fight for now.

Beelzebul's brain isn't good, but her combat power is considered strong among the Seven Archons, and she still has the possibility of going further. She might not be unable to grow to her level, which is something even Morax doesn't have. The other party will also become a main force against the Abyss in the future, so there is no need to offend her to death.

Raiden Ei gripped the Musou Isshin in her hand tightly. They didn't fight, and she doesn't have to die for now, but she must resolve Inazuma's predicament within one year. Σ(Д)

These are not things she is good at!

If you let Raiden Ei go chop people, Raiden Ei is good at it, but if you let Raiden Ei govern a country, this is too difficult for Raiden Ei.

"Beelzebul, resolve the Tatarasuna problem as soon as possible, otherwise, the next time we meet, we will all be enemies!" Morax deliberated for a moment and continued: "As a god, sometimes you need to disguise yourself, enter among humans, and understand their situation.

According to my intelligence, the problem in Inazuma this time is not just a natural disaster but also a man-made one. The people of the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission not only did not think about solving problems for the Inazuman people, but even increased taxes on them and raised grain prices, making ordinary people unable to afford food, leading to the people of Inazuma living in misery.

The people of the Kamisato Clan of the Yashiro Commission are not bad; they used their own money to buy a large amount of food in Does Does Liyue and Sumeru to distribute to the civilians. Your familiar should know more things.

That is all I have to say!"

"Beelzebul, a god who acts willfully and abandons the wishes of the people is unqualified and the most useless. A senior of mine told me this, and I hope you can remember this sentence!" Barbatos said, looking at Raiden Ei with a complex expression.

Looking at the current Raiden Ei, he also thought of his senior, Decarabian, the God of Storms!

In terms of strength, Decarabian was no worse than Beelzebul.

Back then, Decarabian also wanted to protect his people, so he restrained and confined his subjects. How similar this is to the current Raiden Ei!

This gave Venti an urge to overthrow Raiden Ei's rule.
