Chapter 124
Immediately, Raiden Ei thought of the Tsaritsa and those guys from the Fatui in Snezhnaya.
They seem to be thinking of opposing the Heavenly Principles, right?
Should she follow Mu Yang and go directly to their door?
Or should she find an opportunity to strike them down?
After all, she has a legitimate reason; those bastards from the Fatui have done many terrible things within Inazuma, and even the Mikage Furnace incident was Dottore’s fault. It would be normal for her to go and cause them trouble, right?
She will just strike once!
"Your Musou Isshin contains a trace of Raiden Makoto’s consciousness, which will be triggered under specific circumstances. You must keep the Musou Isshin safe. When you have more points in the future, use them to resurrect Raiden Makoto.
If that consciousness disappears completely, resurrecting her will become very difficult!" However, Mu Yang’s next words made Raiden Ei stop thinking about striking Snezhnaya.
Snezhnaya needs to be struck, but it is not as important as her sister!
When she used lightning to strike Yae Miko before, she felt Kitsune Saiguu’s aura beside the Sacred Sakura tree. It seems Yae Miko found a way to resurrect Kitsune Saiguu.
And her goal is to resurrect Raiden Makoto. Now, no one can stop her from resurrecting Raiden Makoto!
Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Principles would probably be the first to stop her from resurrecting Makoto; after all, resurrecting an Archon has too much influence.
But now the Heavenly Principles is her partner, and all those concerns are gone.
However, she absolutely cannot use the Musou Isshin now; she is afraid that something might happen to it, thereby affecting Makoto’s resurrection. She would cry to death.
Immediately after, Mu Yang asked Raiden Ei: "Do you remember Scaramouche?"
"Scaramouche?" Raiden Ei showed a confused expression.
Scaramouche, who is that?
Should she know him?
"Well, he is a puppet you made back then. It seems you called him Kunikuzushi. Now he has joined the Fatui and become the Sixth Harbinger, codenamed Scaramouche.
The Mikage Furnace incident back then was Dottore’s scheme to make Scaramouche disappointed in Inazuma, so he would join the Fatui to take revenge on Inazuma." Immediately after, Mu Yang told her about how Scaramouche was deceived by Dottore and how he had been destroying Inazuma over the years.
Raiden Ei showed a gnashing of teeth expression upon hearing this: "This Dottore deserves to die. Tsaritsa, how could she recruit such a bastard into the Fatui?
Isn't she the most compassionate god?
Why has she become like this?"
However, Raiden Ei didn't say anything about Scaramouche.
Perhaps at this moment, she didn't know how to face Scaramouche herself?
Just like in the original game, Raiden Ei’s evaluation of Scaramouche was: "That boy is a byproduct of creating the Shogun. I don't restrain him, probably because I still feel I owe him something in my heart."
There is still debt, but it is estimated that it is limited. If Raiden Ei knew what Scaramouche had done in Inazuma, she would probably want to cut him in half.
No amount of debt is useful.
"According to my intelligence, she is also going all-in now, having lost control, right?
Her partner is a court mage from Khaenri'ah. No matter what kind of person the other party is, they are ultimately Khaenri'ahn, and their hatred for Teyvat and the Heavenly Principles is constantly deepening.
Besides, would normal people join them to oppose the Heavenly Principles?" Mu Yang’s rhetorical question directly silenced Raiden Ei.
Indeed, normal people wouldn't think about resisting the Heavenly Principles, even a god like Raiden Ei wouldn't dare to resist the Heavenly Principles.
However, what Raiden Ei didn't know was that the current Heavenly Principles has some problems. Later, she would deeply realize that the Heavenly Principles actually likes her rebelling against him!
"What needs to be done? The Tsaritsa is not my opponent, but since she wants to resist the Heavenly Principles, besides the Gnosis, she should have other preparations, right?
It has been five hundred years; it is impossible if she has no preparations at all!" Raiden Ei began to worry at this moment.
If Snezhnaya came like Khaenri'ah, Raiden Ei wouldn't think Teyvat could survive like before.
After all, the strength of Mu Yang, this Heavenly Principles, is still a bit weak for now.
"That’s why we need time. Don't forget the authority I gave you. While you are purifying the power of the Abyss and the resentment of Archons, I am also improving myself.
Moreover, through this, you can also improve your strength.
I have confidence that before they launch their plan, our strength will be enough to deal with such a situation, and other gods are not impossible to win over!" Mu Yang looked toward the direction of Sumeru.
Like Raiden Ei, Nahida also has someone she wants to resurrect.
If she knew that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata could be resurrected, Nahida would inevitably become a part of his plan.
In the original plot, many of Nahida’s choices were criticized, but in the confrontation with Scaramouche and Dottore, Nahida actually showed the ability that the God of Wisdom should have, even if she was treated like a badminton ball during this period.
But Nahida’s performance was still quite good.
Her only flaw is that she is too kind and too immature, but this is not a problem. As long as Greater Lord Rukkhadevata is resurrected in the future, Nahida will also become a qualified god under her guidance.
As for whether Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Nahida will have discord because of the position of the Dendro Archon?
What kind of international joke is that?
In the eyes of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Nahida can be considered her reincarnation. Even if she is resurrected later, Nahida is her daughter; there is no problem with this, right?
The origin of the two is not a problem, just like the relationship between Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei.
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata will not fight Nahida for the position of the Dendro Archon; Sumeru will even enter a situation where two Dendro Archons rule together.
At the same time, there is no need to worry about whether Nahida will be too "saintly" and do some unwise operations.
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata shouldn't be that brain-dead, right? Should...
As for Fontaine and so on, we will see later. Mainly, Mu Yang doesn't know much about Fontaine.
Of course, if he can get the Hydro Gnosis, the improvement for Mu Yang will not be small.
"So you need to slowly test the attitudes of other gods while cultivating our strength?" Raiden Ei showed a look of realization: "If we do this, it is good for you. Killing monsters also gives points.
Is it beneficial to kill Archons?"
Thinking of this, Raiden Ei was eager to try: "In the Dark Sea, there are many Archons who were defeated in the Archon War. Many of them have lost their consciousness, and some have even fallen into the Abyss.
If we kill them, it should be beneficial to you, right?"
"I really don't know about this!" Mu Yang fell into deep thought, then looked at the eager Raiden Ei and stopped her: "Now is not the time, after all, Inazuma still has so many problems to solve.
Moreover, at the world barrier, there are also a large number of monsters like the Golden Wolflord, biting at the boundaries of the world, trying to erode Teyvat.
If possible, I still hope to solve these monsters first.
Although there is Asmoday, relying on her alone is not enough."
Raiden Ei understood upon hearing this. Indeed, those monsters are the most troublesome. She said firmly to Mu Yang: "After solving Inazuma’s problems and resurrecting my sister, I will protect Teyvat for you. Do not refuse."
"That is natural!" Feeling her heart, Mu Yang also said with a smile.
Learning the way to resurrect her sister, Raiden Ei began to change. Of course, there is no need to worry about the Raiden Shogun jumping out to cause trouble at this time.
If it were just Raiden Ei wanting to destroy eternity, the Raiden Shogun would naturally stop her, and would even think that Raiden Makoto’s resurrection would be stopped by the Raiden Shogun. For the Raiden Shogun, Raiden Makoto’s resurrection is an act of destroying eternity.
This will cause Raiden Ei to change. At the same time, Raiden Makoto pursues the fleeting, not eternity.
Raiden Makoto is an exception!
However, at this moment, the Raiden Shogun will not come out to stop Raiden Ei. In front of the Heavenly Principles, eternity or whatever seems to be nothing.
After all, only eternity can be close to the Heavenly Principles.
Then what should the Heavenly Principles do in front of her?
Of course, whatever the Heavenly Principles chooses to do, he does!
Although this may affect some of Inazuma’s policies, the Raiden Shogun still has a heart. She admits the mistakes she made before. That authority, Raiden Ei can use, and she, the Raiden Shogun, can also use.
What she can do now is that the current Raiden Shogun also has the ability to purify filth.
Later, if Raiden Ei feels these things are troublesome, the Raiden Shogun wouldn't mind coming out to purify these things.
Anyway, Raiden Ei can still get benefits, and at the same time, this can be considered as her making up for Raiden Ei.
After all, if she hadn't managed Inazuma well, Raiden Ei wouldn't have needed to make such a big sacrifice, even though this body is now hers too.
"By the way, after resurrecting Raiden Makoto, you can also consider making a body for the Raiden Shogun," Mu Yang reminded Raiden Ei after thinking for a while.
Since there is Raiden Ei, and there will be a Raiden Makoto in the future, it seems that having another Raiden Shogun is not bad.
"The Shogun?" Hearing Mu Yang mention the Raiden Shogun, Raiden Ei was helpless: "The Shogun’s body was made using my own body, which also led to the Shogun’s martial arts being very excellent. But if you use alchemy to make a body,
even if you use Khaenri'ah’s technology, it is difficult to guarantee the Shogun’s strength. At that time, the Shogun’s strength will likely degenerate to Miko’s level..."
This is not what Raiden Ei wants.
Regarding the Raiden Shogun, Raiden Ei’s mentality is also very complicated. Although the Shogun has brought her a lot of trouble, fortunately, this is within the acceptable range, and everything can be perfectly solved, right?
Although the Shogun didn't do well enough, she has been working hard for the past five hundred years. It’s just that like herself, she is not good at governing the country, so she was deceived.
It’s just that now, the Shogun’s role is not as big as before. She is destined to take over the body more often, and the problem of erosion can be solved.
If the Shogun is always kept in the Plane of Euthymia, then the Shogun seems to have lost her meaning, which is also unfair to the Shogun.
But if you only get a weak body for the Shogun, that won't work either!
