Chapter 89

But unfortunately, they were a step too late.

Kujou Sara had already fallen beside the throne.

And before the throne, there was also a figure Lumine was very familiar with.

"Barging in so hurriedly, one after another... If I didn't know this was the Tenshukaku, I would have thought it was some street market."

After glancing at the fallen Kujou Sara, La Signora mocked: "Now, should you be a bit more sensible?"

"Ah, Kujou Sara was..." Paimon exclaimed.

The Raiden Shogun on the throne said lightly: "The faults of the people of Inazuma shall be punished by me; you have no qualifications, La Signora."

Although the voice was light, the pressure was full.

La Signora showed a contemptuous smile, then pretended to bow: "Then I am truly sorry, Shogun-sama."

"La Signora!"

Lumine couldn't suppress her anger and glared at La Signora.

"Alright, alright, I know you can't forget me, no need to keep my name on your lips. I also know you hate me... persistent traveler, I'm not surprised to see you here, but... hehe, Gu Chen is not by your side, where did you get the courage to barge in?"

La Signora spoke with even more contempt, sizing up Lumine, seemingly unable to figure out where the girl in front of her got her confidence.

"Hmph, you secretly promoted Delusions, attempting to control Inazuma with one hand..."

"Are you in a hurry to reveal my crimes in front of the Shogun? Hehehe... I am just a diplomatic envoy from Snezhnaya; I don't know what you are talking about." La Signora shook her head repeatedly.

The arrogant expression on her face made Lumine even angrier.

Lumine counted La Signora's crimes, and after a moment said: "It's time to make an end of it."

"I am also a little tired of your face, but I didn't expect you to be such a reckless person. Is it because you were protected too well by that man? Or because you are a fool yourself? Before you talk big, have you realized... you are still Inazuma's number one wanted criminal? Think about your own situation first." La Signora said with schadenfreude: "Barging into the Tenshukaku and spouting nonsense before the throne, what is this if not throwing yourself into the net? I hope you can realize the gap between you and me, whether it is status... or strength."

"I want—to initiate a duel before the throne with you!" Lumine said very decisively.

La Signora was slightly startled.

The Raiden Shogun on the throne said 'Hmm', representing her agreement.

"You actually have this trick... have you also learned to use the rules of this country?"

"Barely pulling you and me to an equal position, I admit, it's a bit beyond my expectations, but the loser... will die, you know?"

"Gu Chen is not here; if you lose, you will really die! Don't you cherish your own life?"

"Have you really thought it through?"

"Lumine..." Paimon advised with worry.

Lumine drew her sword directly.

Seeing this, La Signora sneered repeatedly: "Hehehe... then let me condescend to dance with you, until the end of your... life."

【Paimon】: I have to say, La Signora is really arrogant!

【La Signora】: Which law says people can't be arrogant?

【Paimon】: Speechless. (Paimon·Surprised)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: I have some guesses. La Signora came as a diplomatic envoy and should have revealed the news of Gu Chen and the others as stowaways to the Shogun a step early. Ordinary stowaways wouldn't attract the Shogun's attention, but if this stowaway possessed the strength to fight a god, then the Shogun would attach great importance to it. She wouldn't let anyone affect her eternity, so no wonder the Shogun had already come to kill as soon as they arrived on Ritou!

【Gu Chen】: No wonder La Signora is the 8th seat and Tartaglia is the 11th! (Funny)

【Tartaglia】: Mr. Gu Chen, you can speak clearly if you have something to say; no need to be so subtle! (Nahida·Pointing fingers)

【Collei】: Dizzy from listening. (Collei·No response)

【Tighnari】: I analyzed La Signora's words to Lumine in the video. La Signora definitely knows Gu Chen isn't dead, and since the duel before the throne is a duel, there will be a loser. And the loser will be punished by the Shogun's divine punishment. If Lumine loses, Gu Chen will kill La Signora, and if La Signora loses, she will die all the same, so La Signora is actually afraid too!

【Paimon】: So she is afraid too; I thought she was always this tough. (Spread hands)

【Lumine】: Speaking of which, why do the Fatui have so many stages? When fighting Childe, he not only had the Hydro Vision, but also a Delusion, and even the Foul Legacy, getting stronger each time. When fighting La Signora, she had a Cryo Delusion, and now she's covered in fire! (Collei·No response)

【Tartaglia】: Join the Fatui, you can do it too! (Hu Tao·Smirk)

【Paimon】: @【La Signora】 You lost, what do you say?

【La Signora】:...

Inside the video.

Lumine and La Signora had a bitter fight, and even La Signora, who transformed into the Crimson Witch of Embers, was defeated by Lumine.

"Your power... but... why..."

La Signora, who had returned to her original appearance, clutched her chest and knelt on the ground.

And at this moment, the Raiden Shogun on the throne had already stood up at some point, holding her polearm and walking slowly.

Just as Lumine was on guard, the Raiden Shogun bypassed her directly and walked towards La Signora with her polearm.

La Signora, who was slumped on the ground, sneered: "I am the envoy of Snezhnaya; you know the impact of acting against me."

While speaking, La Signora stood up staggeringly.

"I swear, if you really swing your blade at me, I will make your country... the Fatui will make the Inazuma you cherish..."

As she got closer and closer, the pressure became stronger. Lightning was already permeating the Raiden Shogun's polearm, purple light lit up in her eyes, and a Triple Tomoe Seal—the Musou no Hitotachi—appeared behind her!

"Stop! I order you!"

"You! And you all!"

"I! How could I..."

La Signora frantically reached out toward the Raiden Shogun's chest, attempting to recreate the scene in front of the Favonius Cathedral.

However, the Raiden Shogun was not Venti after all; she stepped aside and swung her blade.

Boom!

Countless blade lights sealed everything densely, divine punishment descended, and La Signora had turned into ashes.

The Raiden Shogun, who slowly retracted her polearm, said lightly: "You are an enemy of eternity..."

Lumine was immediately on guard.

"But I acknowledge your glory as the winner, so... I permit you to leave the Tenshukaku standing."

Lumine and Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

【La Signora】:...

【Paimon】: Haha, deserved! (Klee·Yay)

【Lumine】: The Raiden Shogun is decisive! (Acknowledged)

【Charlotte】: @【Tartaglia】 Is it convenient to do an interview here? Your colleague died under the Raiden Shogun's command; what are your thoughts?

【Tartaglia】: This is a bit complicated...

【Gu Chen】: When is Snezhnaya holding the memorial service? I want to eat at the banquet; I'll give 200, sit at Klee's table!

【Hu Tao】: (Pop up) Hehe, business is here? The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor can provide a variety of customized services~ (Hu Tao·Cute)

【Paimon】: I'll give 200 too; I'll sit at Sayu's table, she definitely can't out-compete me! (Paimon·Hmph)

【Tartaglia】: If you put it that way, although it's a pity, as a colleague, I'll give 300!

【Klee】: (Sucrose·Well-behaved)

【Zhongli】: It is a pity that Snezhnaya has lost a capable person. I once had a deal with La Signora, so we can barely be considered friends. In memory of a friend, I give 200, sit at the table of the one who sells songs.

【Venti】: (Funny)

【Keqing】: Archon, why are you also... (Qiqi·Lie down)

【La Signora】: I'm not dead yet!!! Also, do you think you can really walk out of the Tenshukaku!

【Lumine】: The Raiden Shogun wouldn't be so unsportsmanlike, right? (Alert)

【Yae Miko】: According to my understanding of the stinky-faced Shogun, she will let you walk out of the Tenshukaku standing.

【Lumine】: Then that's it!

【Yae Miko】: But it's hard to say after walking out of the Tenshukaku!

【Lumine】:...

【La Signora】: Hehe, why aren't you laughing? Are you born not to love laughing?
