Chapter 189: The Scaramouche Incident

【Raiden Ei: "Old woman... just kill him. He no longer has any value in existing."

Yae Miko: "Hahahaha, Ei, you're the old woman here, hahahaha!"

Hearing Hearing Ganyu: "Lord Mu Yang!"

Granny Ping: "Hehe, the little ones these days have gained some strength and are starting to get carried away, aren't they?"

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: "If nothing else, I suppose I would also count as an old woman..."

Asmoday: "..."】

Looking at the messages in the chat group, the corner of Mu Yang's mouth twitched uncontrollably. That foul-mouthed habit of Scaramouche's really couldn't be changed, could it?

One must know that the current chat group contains quite a few beings even older than Raiden Ei.

Among the original Seven Archons, Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto were born relatively late. Therefore, on the Does Does Liyue side, there are many adepti whose ages exceed Raiden Ei's.

For instance, Granny Ping and Cloud Retainer are actually more ancient than Raiden Ei. Even Hearing Hearing Ganyu, who usually appears gentle and weak, is a being who has surpassed three thousand years of age.

If Raiden Ei is an old woman, then they are all old women too.

It is no wonder that Hearing Hearing Ganyu, who rarely pops up in the chat group, spoke up at this moment.

This guy really is a case of "if you don't court death, you won't die."

This time, Scaramouche has truly offended many people.

I should say, as expected of you, Scaramouche.

"Blaspheming the gods?" Mu Yang said with a hint of a smile on his face: "Don't you know that I am now known as the Raiden Shogun's consort?"

His manner almost explicitly stated that Ei is wonderful.

After all, the chat group was still open.

Of course, most of the people in the chat group already knew Mu Yang's identity and his relationship with Raiden Ei, so they felt nothing about what Mu Yang had just said.

But this sentence sounded different to Scaramouche's ears. A terrifying aura erupted from Scaramouche's body, a purple pillar of light shooting straight into the clouds, as if it wanted to tear the entire world apart.

"You bastard!" Scaramouche did not acknowledge Raiden Ei as his mother, but that could not cover up the fact that she was his creator.

But now, her "dog of a man" was standing right in front of him, and this weapon—if he wasn't mistaken—should be Beelzebul's weapon. There was no doubt about that.

At this moment, Scaramouche wished he could completely annihilate the other party.

"Hahahaha, if I kill you, Beelzebul should be very pained, right?" Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Scaramouche said in a manic tone.

Once the words fell, he manipulated the giant fist to attack Mu Yang.

【Kamisato Ayaka: "Be careful!"

Seeing Seeing Keqing: "Hurry and dodge!"】

Even though they knew Mu Yang's identity was extraordinary and his strength was very powerful, upon seeing Scaramouche attack him, Kamisato Ayaka and Seeing Seeing Keqing—the two women with special relationships with Mu Yang—could not help but issue a warning.

After all, that robot was so huge and Mu Yang was so small; what if he suffered a loss?

But what no one expected was that when faced with Scaramouche's heavy and powerful attack, Mu Yang did not dodge at all; he simply reached out his palm and grabbed Scaramouche's fist.

"Bang!" Scaramouche's massive fist was blocked by Mu Yang's palm with ease.

"How is this possible?" Scaramouche couldn't help but let out a cry of shock upon seeing this. He wanted to pull his fist back, but he couldn't: "How can your strength be so great?

I am a god!

Who exactly are you?"

"A god? A pseudo-god, a guy who can't even control his own sanity, is worthy of being called a god?" Mu Yang sneered, held the Engulfing Lightning high, and with a single slash, one of the Shouki no Kami's arms was easily severed by Mu Yang.

"How is this possible?" At this moment, Scaramouche was completely dumbfounded.

Why did it turn out like this?

"You seem very arrogant? Scum, who gave you the right to look at me like that." After speaking, Mu Yang slashed again, and then one could see the Shouki no Kami's arms and limbs falling off one after another.

Then, with another slash of the blade in his hand, the door to the cockpit where Scaramouche was located was opened.

"This?" At this moment, Scaramouche was completely bewildered.

He had originally thought that becoming a god would be his shining moment. He was going to go to Inazuma, prove to Beelzebul that he was the most excellent, and then take the Gnosis.

As a result, he had encountered Raiden Ei's "wild man," and the other party had destroyed the Shouki no Kami with just five swings of his blade.

Dottore, you tricked me!

At this moment, Scaramouche cursed the Doctor countless times in his heart.

Wasn't it agreed that he would become a god? Why did it turn out like this now?

Not to mention Scaramouche, even the Doctor was bewildered at this moment. In his view, Scaramouche lacked the authority of an Archon and could not be considered a true god, but in terms of power, he was already at the Archon level.

If he put in a little more effort later, he could indeed transform Scaramouche into a god.

By that time, Scaramouche's seat among the Fatui would be at least in the top four.

As Scaramouche's creator and the key to the god-making project, the Doctor indeed had the qualifications to be proud.

But what about now? Scaramouche had almost truly become a god, but his power, comparable to an Archon, had been crushed by Mu Yang with ease.

Could that Beelzebul in Inazuma do this?

The Doctor fell into deep thought. If it were a full-force strike, with Beelzebul's strength, she could certainly do it. Orobashi's strength was also not weak, but Raiden Ei could definitely not casually sever the four limbs of the Shouki no Kami.

He even felt that Mu Yang hadn't used his full strength. Just how strong was this guy?

The Seven Archons?

Or was he stronger than the Seven, perhaps even at the level of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles?

At this moment, the Doctor didn't even want to run away. If it were the Seven Archons level, he might not be unable to escape.

Moreover, he still had three thousand Fatui under his command that he could direct, which he could use to threaten Sumeru and Mu Yang.

But now, the Doctor wanted to stay. He needed to explore the problems with Diluc and the problems with Mu Yang. Without knowing the truth of these things, even if he were alive, he would be living a life worse than death.

"This is impossible, how could you be so powerful? I am a god!

I have become a god!" Seeing the Shouki no Kami defeated so easily, Scaramouche, clutching the Gnosis, became somewhat deranged.

"Is it affected by Forbidden Knowledge?" Looking at the Forbidden Knowledge inside the Gnosis, Mu Yang raised an eyebrow. These things were a fatal crisis for everyone else on the Teyvat continent.

But for Mu Yang, they were very interesting things. Perhaps he could find a way to strengthen the Teyvat continent through this.

With a flick of Mu Yang's finger, he took the Gnosis into his own hand.

"No, you can't do this, this is the only thing I cannot abandon." Seeing the Gnosis fall into Mu Yang's hand, Scaramouche shouted in panic.

Looking at Scaramouche like this, a flash of complexity crossed Mu Yang's expression. Scaramouche falling to this state actually had a little bit of Raiden Ei's fault.

If she had been able to cultivate Scaramouche well from the beginning, instilled in him the consciousness of protecting Inazuma, and given him a decent status in Inazuma, then his life would have changed a lot.

Even if the Doctor wanted to sow discord, there wouldn't be much he could do.

If Scaramouche had a very high status, then the difficulties he encountered in the beginning wouldn't have been difficulties at all.

And later, Inazuma would have possessed high-level combat power comparable to the god's kin of other nations.

With Scaramouche's potential, even without the Doctor's various modifications, becoming a combatant at the level of the current Yae Miko wouldn't have been a problem.

It was just that Raiden Ei herself had problems. Clearly a great combat asset, she not only failed to cultivate him but instead sealed him away.

At the beginning, Scaramouche's heart might not have had any problems; he just met the Doctor and was schemed against and tricked by him in various ways.

But if you say Scaramouche was not at fault, that definitely wouldn't work. Even if he was tricked, the one who wanted to do evil things later was still Scaramouche himself.

No one held a knife to Scaramouche's neck to make him do evil things.

These were all his own choices. This guy absolutely cannot be associated with being innocent.

Mu Yang's evaluation of Scaramouche: pitiful, but not innocent. Even if he died, it was deserved.

"You probably don't know the truth about those things back then." Suddenly, Mu Yang spoke out of the blue: "This time, it can be considered letting you die with clarity.

The Niwa from back then was harmed by someone!"

"What? What do you mean by this?" Scaramouche became hysterical upon hearing this.

"How about it, Dottore? At this moment, are you willing to tell this poor wretch the truth about what happened back then?" Mu Yang didn't state the truth directly; instead, he looked at the Doctor, who was suppressing Diluc not far away, and said coldly.

The Doctor stopped his movements upon hearing this: "I didn't expect you to have investigated so many things?"

"After all, the impact caused by the Mikage Furnace leak this time is huge. The main reason was that destruction four hundred years ago. According to our investigation, the mastermind behind everything is you, a scheme to make this idiot join the Fatui." Mu Yang pointed at Scaramouche and said softly: "Do you think if I told the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles about this, would she drop a nail on Snezhnaya?

Dottore, you wouldn't want Snezhnaya to be completely destroyed like this, would you?"
