Chapter 178: Only one year of time

Not to mention Zhong Li, even Barbatos was looking at Lei Dianying with shared hatred at this moment.

It had the air of: "If you don't give us an explanation, you damn woman, we are going to follow the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and fight you."

Lei Dianying was also stunned at this moment; she had not expected that Zhong Li and Barbatos would also stand on the opposite side of her.

Yes, some problems have indeed appeared within my Inazuma, and I, this Electro Archon, am also very angry; I will resolve all these matters later.

But this has nothing to do with you, right?

But very quickly, Lei Dianying noticed the situation on the other islands.

There was almost no sign of civilians on Tatarasuna and Yashiori Island; one 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 Lei Dianying's eyes; clearly, Lei Dianying had misunderstood at this moment.

In Lei Dianying's view, her Shogunate army could not possibly attack these innocent civilians. Although the Shogunate army seemed to have problems now, she believed in her Inazuma's army, and she did not believe in the people of Watatsumi Island.

Are they really asking for it?

Lei Dianying knew something of the truth behind the Great Serpent Orobashi's eastern invasion; it wanted to use its own death to fulfill the people of Watatsumi Island, letting them live under the sun. She, feeling the greatness of Orobashi, did not make things difficult for these Watatsumi people after slaying Orobashi.

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

After all, during the Archon War, it was a matter of "the winner is king, the loser is the bandit." 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, Lei Dianying had absolutely given them preferential treatment. 673 The result, however, was unexpected: these unruly people liked to stir up trouble all day long, and now they were still fighting the Shogunate army. Did they really think she, Beelzebul, was easy to bully?

One must know that she, Beelzebul, was an Archon who had truly fought her way out of the Archon War; her sister being able to become the first Electro Archon was also due to her fighting for her.

Even among the Seven Archons, Lei Dianying did not believe she would lose to anyone; this was her persistence as a warrior.

Even if she might not be a match for Zhong Li, she would not lose in spirit, and she would not be far behind.

Her battle record was also fought out; one could see this by looking at the Archons she had slain back then, and the fact that she was qualified to become the Electro Archon of Inazuma.

Inazuma was the nation closest to the Dark Sea, and she was the one guarding it here. For so many years, no Archon from the Dark Sea had dared to run to Inazuma to stir up trouble!

Lei Dianying's simple brain thought it had found the truth.

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

Although the Shogunate army had not informed her that there were problems, their going to war with the Watatsumi Island army was, after all, reasonable and logical.

"The Mikage Furnace in Tatarasuna is leaking, and the power of the Tatarigami has begun to affect the surrounding seawater. This does not seem to be a natural disaster, but a man-made one!" At this moment, Zhong Li spoke up abruptly.

"What? Σ(Д)" Regarding the Mikage Furnace, Lei Dianying actually had a lot of confidence. After all, the Mikage Furnace was designed by her personally, and she had seen with her own eyes back then the Fontaine scientists install and operate it.

As for why Lei Dianying 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 fine if she just made the design drawings? If they couldn't even build it with the design drawings, then these people were simply too useless.

"It seems this is all a scheme by Fontaine. I never expected the contemporary Hydro Archon would scheme against my Inazuma like this!" Lei Dianying was more willing to believe in her own Inazuma people.

Subconsciously, she assumed this was the Hydro Archon's scheme.

Only, Lei Dianying probably didn't know that the contemporary Hydro Archon was even less reliable than her.

"Enough, this is not a scheme by Focalors. Have you not noticed that some materials of the Mikage Furnace had problems, which is what caused the Mikage Furnace to leak!? And these materials were all produced in the last ten years." The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles stared at Lei Dianying and said in an icy tone.

Lei Dianying was also shocked upon hearing this. The maintenance of the Mikage Furnace was all handed over to the people of the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission to be responsible for.

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

And now that the Mikage Furnace had problems, Lei Dianying naturally had to find them to ask.

Linking this to the current situation in Inazuma, no matter how dim-witted Lei Dianying's brain was, she sensed that the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission had problems.

Only, seeing the Anemo Archon, the Geo Archon, and the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles standing together in shared hatred, Lei Dianying also had a headache.

"Beelzebul, because of you, Inazuma has reached the edge of collapse. You are no longer qualified to be the Electro Archon." The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles said in an icy tone.

Lei Dianying felt a wave of despair in her heart upon hearing this: no longer qualified to be the Electro Archon.

Was this to strip her away from Inazuma?

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

Looking again at how many people had died in Inazuma now, Lei Dianying couldn't help but doubt life itself; she and the Raiden Shogun had indeed not done well enough.

There was one thing Lei Dianying did not know: at this moment, the Raiden Shogun's killing intent was even greater than Lei Dianying's.

She was created to guard the eternity of Inazuma, but now it seemed obvious that someone was destroying the eternity of Inazuma. The Kanjou Commission, the Tenryou Commission, and even those guys in the Yashiro Commission had all betrayed her; they were attempting to hollow her out.

This made the Raiden Shogun realize many problems; it seemed she managed too few things, and the people of Inazuma were in dire straits. This did not conform to the definition of eternity.

Clearly, those guys had destroyed the eternity of Inazuma. Whoever destroyed eternity, no matter who they were, deserved to die!

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

Even if it meant death, she would not allow anyone to take Inazuma away, even if the person in front of her was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles!

Lei Dianying slowly drew the Musou Isshin from her chest; the meaning was self-evident. If the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles wanted to take Inazuma away, she wouldn't mind fighting to the death with the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

And seeing this scene, Zhong Li and Barbatos frowned. At this moment, they were somewhat unclear about what exactly Mu Yang was thinking.

Could it be that he really wanted to strip Beelzebul of her position as the Electro Archon?

Well, regarding what Beelzebul had done, she was indeed not a qualified Archon. If such a thing happened to himself, he would probably be so ashamed he would want to commit suicide, right?

"If you still want to be the Electro Archon, then prove it to me. I will give you one year of time—just one year. All the problems in Inazuma must be solved, whether it is the problem of Orobashi's Archon grudge, the livelihood of the Inazuma people, or the problems of some greedy humans within.

Those who dare to hide things from their own Archon, who knows if they won't collude with the Abyss one day!

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

This is not just my will, but also the will of Heavenly Principles!" Pausing, 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 Allogenes, those chaotic evils wouldn't have been so rampant!

Let this be a warning!"

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

At first, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles also wanted to beat Lei Dianying 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.

If she took the initiative to beat the other party, a little lesson was fine, but once the other party attacked her, then the Electro Archon position would be gone, and she could even go to die. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles also had her pride.

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

Beelzebul's brain didn't work well, but her combat power was considered strong among the Seven Archons, and she still had the possibility of going further. She might not be unable to grow to her level—this was something even Zhong Li didn't have. The other party would also become a main force against the Abyss in the future, so there was no need to offend her to death.

Lei Dianying tightly gripped the Musou Isshin in her hand. They didn't fight, and she didn't have to die for now, but she had to solve Inazuma's predicament within one year. Σ(Д)

These were not things she was good at!

If she were asked to hack people, Lei Dianying was good at it, but if she were asked to govern a country, it was too difficult for Lei Dianying.

"Beelzebul, solve the problem of Tatarasuna as soon as possible, otherwise, the next time we meet, we will all be enemies!" Zhong Li deliberated for a moment and continued: "As an Archon, occasionally one needs to disguise oneself, enter among the 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 the worries of the Inazuma people, but even increased taxes on them, while simultaneously raising grain prices, making it so that ordinary people could not 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 Liyue and Sumeru to distribute to the civilians. Your familiar should know more things.

That is all I will say!"

"Beelzebul, an Archon who acts arbitrarily and abandons the will of the subjects is unqualified and the most useless. This is what a senior of mine told me, and I hope you can remember this sentence!" Barbatos looked at Lei Dianying with a complex expression and said.

Looking at Lei Dianying now, he also thought of his senior, the Lord of the Tower, Decarabian!

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

Back then, Decarabian also wanted to protect his subjects, and thus confined and imprisoned his subjects. How similar this was to Lei Dianying now!

This gave Venti an urge to overthrow Lei Dianying's rule.
