Chapter 180: Raiden Ei: I command the thunder of the ten directions to subside, may you enjoy a peaceful sleep tonight!
Inazuma!
Narukami Island! Tenshukaku!
The noble place that seemed as if it would never change for thousands of years remained as it was in the beginning.
In this place where the Narukami lingered, every flower and blade of grass was as it had been in the past, and the Triple Tomoe Seal of Thunder shone brilliantly, stimulating people so they couldn't open their eyes under the sunlight.
Just like the body of a majestic god, even if a mortal looked up, they would be scorched by that dazzling thunder.
From some unknown time, hurried footsteps came from outside the otherwise dead-silent Tenshukaku.
The guards of the Shogunate, with tense expressions, scrutinized the visitor; it was the head of the Kujou Clan—Kujou Takayuki, who led the Tenryou Commission, one of the three commissions.
"I have an urgent matter to request an audience with the General!"
Blocked outside by the Shogunate guards, the high-ranking and influential Kujou Takayuki was not angry, but instead bowed respectfully toward the Tenshukaku before preparing to ask someone to report.
He held an incomparably fanatical trust in the General, believing that under the "Musou no Hitotachi" that had slain the Archon Orobashi, no matter how difficult the problem, it could be solved.
It was precisely because of this that everything he was doing now was just insignificant small fry.
If it reached a point where it couldn't be cleaned up, the General would use thunder to purge all rebels.
Holding such thoughts, his expression became even more respectful.
The Shogunate guard coldly left behind a "wait," and one of them entered the Tenshukaku to report.
Before long, that guard returned and stiffly notified Kujou Takayuki that he had been granted an audience.
Hearing this, Kujou Takayuki straightened his attire and strode into the Tenshukaku.
The silent pavilion carried a heavy atmosphere; walking inside, even with his sophistication, he felt a bit nervous.
Taking a deep breath to suppress unspeakable distractions, Kujou Takayuki finally arrived at the main pavilion where the Almighty Shogun resided.
Because it had been reported, the door was wide open.
He swallowed his saliva and walked into the shrine covered by divine power.
Upon entering, Kujou Takayuki lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the body of the god, and slowly moved to the center of the hall.
"What is it?"
Suddenly, a cold and majestic voice drifted slowly from above.
Not daring to look up, Kujou Takayuki hurriedly reported: "General, I am here to report the results of the Vision Hunt Decree."
Pausing, he continued.
"It has been over a year since you issued the Vision Hunt Decree. Resistance has occurred from time to time, but fortunately, my incompetent daughter has suppressed many of those rebels. To date, ninety-seven Visions have been embedded in the Statue of the Omnipresent God."
"Regrettably, that member of the Kaedehara clan ultimately escaped pursuit. As a former noble, he actually led the resistance against your order, which is truly regrettable."
Speaking to this point, Kujou Takayuki cautiously raised his head to look at the General.
Within his field of vision, the noble and arrogant god was kneeling by the desk, her eyes devoid of fluctuation as she scrutinized the documents, just like a puppet.
Not daring to look more, he immediately lowered his head and continued: "Originally, we had already tracked him down at sea, but just as we were about to succeed, we were stopped by a Tengu. She used a thousand-gate void boat to block our path, allowing that rebel to escape. This is why we failed; I ask for the General's punishment."
Thus, after a long silence, Kujou Takayuki, having received no answer, felt uneasy.
Don't look at how noble and prominent the Kujou clan was; for the General, a single word could plunge them into hell.
Although there was a reason for the incident, being blocked by that female Tengu who didn't know how long she had lived, dereliction of duty was an undeniable fact.
Just when his neck was about to go sore, the voice finally came from above again. ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
