Chapter 155. Experimenting on Time Abilty
The question raised by Kamisato Ayato, a trace of surprise flashed in Hiiragi Chisato's eyes.
Kujou Sara, on the other hand, did not speak, because she had also guessed something.
"Yes."
Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly. There were too many suspicious points regarding the resistance.
How could Futsu Mitama and the Guuji, as Raiden Shoguns Retainer, take such a big risk to join the resistance?
Even if Inazuma's situation was dire at the time, Futsu Mitama and the Guuji wouldn't necessarily join the resistance.
Where did Sangonomiya Kokomi, the Divine Priestess, get such great charm that she could win over Futsu Mitama and the Guuji?
But now, seeing the resurrected Raiden Makoto, Kamisato Ayato finally understood who the true leader of the resistance was.
Indeed, besides the Shogun, who else could command Futsu Mitama and the Guuji?
If this Shogun's consciousness had awakened and she saw the current state of Inazuma, then she would definitely use external forces to break this deadlock.
"Initially, the resistance was orchestrated by me."
Raiden Makoto directly took responsibility for this.
Although the resistance was founded by Sangonomiya Kokomi for Watatsumi Island and the people of Inazuma, her initial performance was, to say the least, terrible. As soon as the resistance was established, countless spies infiltrated it, and their equipment, food, and soldiers were all subpar.
The only things worth mentioning were Kokomi herself and her trusted general, Gorou.
But that was enough. After a little training, Kokomi's abilities were on par with Yae Miko's.
Gorou was not only a competent general, but what was even rarer was that he was 100% willing to obey Kokomi's orders.
At that time, obeying Kokomi 100% was equivalent to obeying Raiden Makoto's orders.
This is why the resistance made rapid progress later on. Having a good leader is truly too important.
So, in a sense, Raiden Makoto was not wrong. The resistance was indeed orchestrated by her.
"..." x3
After receiving Raiden Makoto's acknowledgment, Kamisato Ayato, Kujou Sara, and Hiiragi Chisato all dared not speak.
Because, combined with what Futsu Mitama had just said, the resistance incident half a year ago was orchestrated by the Shogun before them.
Everyone present was not foolish, so they naturally understood her purpose.
At the very least, Inazuma now was several times better than Inazuma half a year ago.
Thinking that way, although it might be rude, this resurrected Shogun was clearly much better than the [current Shogun]. Well, in terms of managing Inazuma.
After all, Futsu Mitama had also said that this resurrected Shogun favored culture, while the current Shogun favored martial arts.
The combination of the two was the true Raiden Shogun, wasn't it?
—
Following that was a simple introduction, essentially stating that all current matters would be reported to Raiden Makoto, and she would handle all affairs, big and small, in Inazuma.
As for what to do with the current Raiden Shogun, Raiden Ei, she stated that she wanted to hone her martial arts and would no longer manage any matters in Inazuma.
Simply put, she was slacking off! Be a full-time Shut-in!
Since she had now taken over the affairs of Inazuma, Raiden Makoto naturally gave out some instructions, such as telling Hiiragi Chisato to quickly sort out Ritou.
Among the Three Commissions, only the Kanjou Commission was still not a unified front. Only when the Shogun's order came down would the Kanjou Commission temporarily solidify.
Once the Shogun's order passed, the Kanjou Commission would once again become a scattered mess, doing whatever they pleased, outwardly respecting Hiiragi Chisato as their head.
But they all had their own ideas. After all, Hiiragi Chisato's methods were not firm enough, and her personality was rather conservative.
She was also unsure whether she should wield the butcher knife and cut down those who were unfavorable to her.
Her father was now imprisoned, and there was much criticism of Hiiragi Chisato within the Kanjou Commission, with many eager to pull her down and take her place.
Because of Raiden Shogun's order, and the fact that Inazuma's situation was not particularly stable at the time, the Kanjou Commission naturally worked together to overcome the difficulties.
Now that the difficulties were overcome and it was time to enjoy the benefits, some people's petty thoughts naturally emerged.
Hiiragi Chisato was aware of this, but she dared not use her power arbitrarily. As the daughter of a criminal, her position as the head of the Kanjou Commission was held with great caution.
Unlike Kujou Sara, although she was also the daughter of a criminal, who in Inazuma dared to say a word against her?
Kujou Takayuki was a treacherous bastard! Kujou Sara, however, was a beloved general of the Shogun!
Everything Kujou Sara did was witnessed by the people of Inazuma, and not a single person in the Tenryou Commission dared to defy her.
The Kujou Clan, furthermore, centered around her, and no one dared to say they were unconvinced.
This is why Kujou Sara encountered no trouble in handling matters after she took office.
Hiiragi Chisato was different. She had to consider too many things, and her own methods were not firm enough, and she was somewhat indecisive in handling matters, which led to her current predicament.
Raiden Makoto's words to Hiiragi Chisato were meant to tell her,
'Go ahead and do it boldly.'
This made Hiiragi Chisato understand, and she quickly stated that she knew and would definitely rectify the Kanjou Commission upon her return.
Raiden Makoto smiled and nodded, appearing exceptionally gentle, but in reality, she had already made up her mind.
If Hiiragi Chisato still couldn't rectify the Kanjou Commission, then... the head of the Kanjou Commission could be replaced.
As for the internal personnel, Raiden Makoto had already decided to have Aila or Kuki Shinobu take over as the head of the Kanjou Commission.
There was no other way.
The positions of the Three Commissions were too important. If you truly lacked the ability, you could only step down.
—
After a few simple instructions, Raiden Makoto also dismissed Kujou Sara, Kamisato Ayato, and Hiiragi Chisato, leaving only Kamisato Ayaka.
Kamisato Ayato looked at his sister, puzzled, not quite understanding what had happened.
Kujou Sara, on the other hand, looked at Kamisato Ayaka with great envy, because she also wanted to stay, but the Shogun had just said that there were still many things waiting for her to do in Inazuma.
So Kujou Sara did not act willfully and could only first complete the tasks at hand. If she didn't understand anything, she would come back to consult the two Shoguns.
Although Kujou Sara now also knew that the Shogun she was [familiar with] might not be as good as the resurrected Shogun in political matters.
But what she needed to learn was not only politics but also martial arts.
For Kujou Sara, a Shogun of culture and a Shogun of martial arts, this was a dream-like scene.
Hiiragi Chisato, meanwhile, remembered Raiden Makoto's words and intended to rectify the Kanjou Commission in the shortest possible time.
Her mind was already pondering how to wield this blade to give a profound lesson to those who tried to cause trouble for the Kanjou Commission.
After the heads of the Three Commissions had left, Kamisato Ayaka also breathed a sigh of relief, then she said with some helplessness.
"Makoto-sana, isn't this a bit too much?"
Kamisato Ayaka had clearly noticed the unusual gazes from her brother and Kujou Sara.
If nothing unexpected happened, Kamisato Ayaka knew that when she returned home, she would have to face her brother's inquiries.
Of course, Kamisato Ayaka had already prepared her answer, roughly that the Guuji had assigned her some tasks.
For example, not to stay in Inazuma too often, but to travel to Liyue, Mondstadt, and Sumeru to broaden her horizons.
Cough, cough~~
It definitely wasn't that Kamisato Ayaka felt envious after seeing Kokomi, Shinobu, and Shenhe travel with Futsu Mitama and Aila.
Now Inazuma was gradually stabilizing, and as the Shirasagi Himegimi of the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayaka's tasks were also gradually decreasing.
Watching the same scenery every day and dealing with fewer and fewer matters, Kamisato Ayaka inevitably felt a bit lonely and empty inside.
Coupled with the exciting experiences of Futsu Mitama and others in the Chat Group, Kamisato Ayaka also developed the idea of traveling. She also planned to take this opportunity to talk to her brother about it.
Using the names of the Shogun and the Guuji, she would ask to go out and play for a while.
As long as she temporarily left Inazuma, Ayaka felt that it would be quite reasonable for Futsu Mitama to take her along.
"What's too much about this?"
At this moment, Yae Miko spoke up, chuckling.
"What's wrong with our Shogun meeting a Chat Group member? Today, you are the only Chat Group member in Inazuma."
If Aila, Kuki Shinobu, and Sangonomiya Kokomi were all in Inazuma, then they would also be here today. In that case, Kamisato Ayaka's presence would not be particularly strange, but unfortunately... they were all currently working in the Akademiya office in Sumeru.
So, only Kamisato Ayaka could come.
Raiden Makoto also nodded slightly. She looked at Kamisato Ayaka, a smile flashing in her eyes, and she slowly said.
"This is just one reason. The second is that Inazuma currently has too few talents. Because of your relationship with the Yashiro Commission and the Kamisato Clan, you have always been diligent and dutiful. As a fellow Chat Group member, I naturally know that your ability is no weaker than Kokomi's back then."
"It's just that due to various reasons, your full potential cannot be realized, so—"
Raiden Makoto felt a little embarrassed at this point, because she had just resurrected and already wanted to pull Kamisato Ayaka in to work.
Was this a bit inappropriate?
"I understand." Kamisato Ayaka smiled, saying nonchalantly. "Makoto-sama, if there is anything you need me to do, I will do my best. I was born in Inazuma, and I naturally want to contribute to it."
When Kamisato Ayaka said this, Raiden Makoto instead became a little embarrassed.
This person's awareness was truly too high, while she herself was thinking about how to quickly abdicate and hand over everything to Futsu Mitama.
Futsu Mitama quickly interrupted.
"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this."
This topic truly made people feel a bit subtle. Kamisato Ayaka was so earnestly trying to do things and contribute to Inazuma.
In contrast, Futsu Mitama, as the next Raiden Shogun, was truly too much of a slacker.
"Indeed, now is not the time to talk about this."
Raiden Ei also nodded, because she also felt that this topic could not continue.
If it continued, when she and Makoto chatted privately later, the other party would probably use Kamisato Ayaka to talk about her.
Yae Miko smiled but said nothing. Although she had the desire to abdicate, she also knew in her heart.
This Inazuma would surely fall into chaos without her. For a stable Inazuma, she still had to continue working hard and overtime.
—
"Then what are we going to talk about?"
Kamisato Ayaka blinked, quite curious about what else there was to discuss.
"Actually, nothing much, it's just this little guy—"
Yae Miko then explained the matters within the Plane of Euthymia.
Futsu Mitama had obtained the functions of Time Stop and Time Travel through the Sacred Sakura.
Although it was unknown how he obtained these two abilities, based on current suspicions, it was most likely due to [that one].
But now that Futsu Mitama possessed these two abilities, Time Travel could not be used, after all, who knew where he would travel to?
Traveling was simple; traveling back was the problem.
Since this ability could not be used, then the Time Stop ability had to be tested.
After a brief explanation of the situation, Ayaka's eyes were filled with shock. She hadn't expected Futsu Mitama to gain the abilities of Time Stop and Time Travel.
As for who [that one] was, Kamisato Ayaka, being a member of the Chat Group, naturally knew that existence was an unspeakable one.
Even Anemo Archon Barbatos, who had a close relationship with her, was imprisoned for a period after gaining the Power of Time.
An existence that could imprison the Anemo Archon, one could imagine how powerful that opponent was.
When Kamisato Ayaka heard that Futsu Mitama had obtained the abilities of Time Stop and Time Travel, her first reaction was shock, followed by worry.
Futsu Mitama wouldn't have been targeted by [that one], would he?!
But Kamisato Ayaka quickly suppressed her inner worry, because neither of the two Shoguns nor the Guuji were worried about Futsu Mitama.
Futsu Mitama himself also appeared very calm, which meant he probably hadn't been targeted by [that one], and she didn't need to worry so much.
At the end of her explanation, Yae Miko stated that Futsu Mitama needed to test his abilities. Large-scale Time Stop was out of the question; once used, the energy consumption would be enormous.
Furthermore, if time on the Teyvat continent was stopped, there was also a chance of being targeted by the Shades of Heavenly Principles. Therefore, if Futsu Mitama wanted to conduct experiments, he could only use other people as subjects.
Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei were out of the question. If the two Archons were time-stopped, the energy consumption would probably be unimaginably large.
Although Yae Miko's strength was weaker, she herself was a genuine [Immortal-level] powerhouse and could not be used as the first experimental subject.
"So, am I here to be a lab rat?" Kamisato Ayaka asked with some curiosity.
She showed no fear; instead, she seemed eager, apparently very curious about Time Stop.
"Mm." Futsu Mitama nodded slightly. He looked at Kamisato Ayaka and said. "If you don't want to, then..."
"No, I'm very willing."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled. She was quite curious about what Time Stop felt like.
"Then..." Futsu Mitama saw that Kamisato Ayaka had agreed, and he didn't act coy. He said. "Walk towards me."
Kamisato Ayaka did not refuse. She walked towards Futsu Mitama. Just as she got close enough to Futsu Mitama, with a flash of white light, Kamisato Ayaka was shocked to find herself back in her original position!!!
"What's wrong? Aren't you coming over?"
Futsu Mitama looked at Kamisato Ayaka, puzzled.
"Wait..."
Although Kamisato Ayaka was a little confused, she still walked towards Futsu Mitama. This time, she sped up considerably.
But with a blink of an eye, Kamisato Ayaka found herself back in her original position, with no change whatsoever.
"Eh?!"
Kamisato Ayaka's expression was one of utter shock at this moment. She looked left, then right, completely at a loss as to what had happened.
"What's wrong?"
Yae Miko also looked very confused, not understanding why Kamisato Ayaka would show such an expression.
"Why the look of such confusion?"
Raiden Makoto also looked at Kamisato Ayaka, asking in a very gentle tone.
This left Kamisato Ayaka feeling extremely puzzled, but the strange situation before her made her unable to explain herself for a moment.
So she could only continue walking forward, but this time she kept a mental note, sending a message in the Chat Group.
The moment she blinked again, Futsu Mitama immediately raised his hand, and a trace of silver energy flew out from it, entering Kamisato Ayaka's body.
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka's Time was stopped. She stood motionless, like a statue.
"Hahahahaha~~~"
Yae Miko burst into laughter, but her movements were not slow. She immediately scurried over and moved Kamisato Ayaka back to her original position.
This entire process took no more than three or four seconds. When Kamisato Ayaka's senses returned, she found that her message in the Chat Group was still there, and a somewhat helpless expression appeared on her face.
"How is the experiment going?"
Kamisato Ayaka was very intelligent. Although the recent situation had left her a bit dazed, after returning to her original position three times in a row—
Coupled with Futsu Mitama's earlier mention of the Time Stop effect for the experiment, Kamisato Ayaka understood what had happened.
If Futsu Mitama hadn't mentioned it at the beginning, Kamisato Ayaka would probably be extremely confused, even feeling a sense of panic in her heart.
"Very good."
Yae Miko saw that Kamisato Ayaka had caught on, and she stopped pretending.
"Yes, much better than expected. Your time was stopped, and the vitality in your body was also paused."
Raiden Makoto looked at Kamisato Ayaka, stroking her chin in thought.
"To be honest, if handled properly—Mitama could pause your Time and then place you in a safe location. Then you could achieve a different kind of immortality."
Raiden Makoto was not lying; the Time Stop effect was indeed that heaven-defying.
However, there was a prerequisite: Futsu Mitama, as the Time Stopper, would need to continuously supply Time energy to Kamisato Ayaka.
"This... I think I'll pass."
Kamisato Ayaka waved her hand, indicating her refusal.
Because she still rejected this kind of immortality; she didn't want to close her eyes and open them again only to find everything around her had changed drastically.
"However, is the energy consumption high?"
Raiden Ei asked, wondering how much energy Futsu Mitama had consumed when he just used Time Stop.
Futsu Mitama shook his head slightly, indicating that the energy consumption was not particularly high; briefly stopping Kamisato Ayaka's Time did not consume much.
Perhaps Futsu Mitama's current strength was too great, or perhaps Kamisato Ayaka's strength was too weak. In any case, the experiment was a success.
According to Futsu Mitama's hypothesis, if he fully unleashed this Power, even an Demon Gods' Time could be paused.
He just didn't know how much energy that would cost.
Thinking of this, Futsu Mitama secretly glanced at Raiden Ei, looking a bit eager to try; what a perfect experimental subject.
"Are you thinking of experimenting on me?"
Raiden Ei noticed Futsu Mitama's gaze and directly asked. She didn't mind, even feeling a bit eager herself.
Because the Power of Time had always been the exclusive domain of [that one]. Futsu Mitama had learned this ability through unknown means.
Although she didn't know if this action would cause [that one] to cast a gaze, thereby bringing disaster.
But now that Futsu Mitama was officially using the Power of Time, neither Raiden Ei nor Raiden Makoto felt the gaze of a higher-tier existence descending.
When Futsu Mitama experimented on Kamisato Ayaka just now, Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto were already prepared. If a higher-tier existence were to cast its gaze, they would jointly cover for Futsu Mitama.
With the tier of them two sisters, even if a higher-tier existence cast its gaze, it would at most focus on them.
At that time, Raiden Makoto would have a way to solve this trouble. As a first-generation Archon, she knew far more secrets than others imagined.
However, in that case, Futsu Mitama would not be able to use the Power of Time frequently on the continent of Teyvat in the future.
But now... Futsu Mitama seemed to be able to use this Power at will.
"Give it a try."
Raiden Makoto also told Futsu Mitama to try. If he could truly affect an existence of Ei's caliber—
Then Futsu Mitama would have inadvertently gained an unimaginable trump card.
Yae Miko also took a few steps back, looking at Futsu Mitama and Raiden Ei. Whether it succeeded or failed, it would be a beneficial situation for Inazuma.
If it succeeded, it meant Futsu Mitama's strength had greatly increased, and if he encountered an Demon Gods being in the future, he could kill them faster.
If it failed, it meant Raiden Ei's own strength was formidable, capable of ignoring even Time abilities. If she were to fight a higher-[tier] existence in the future—
While she wouldn't have a particularly large advantage, she wouldn't be at a great disadvantage either.
In any case, according to Yae Miko's imagination, this was a good thing for Inazuma.
"Alright."
Futsu Mitama naturally did not refuse; he still needed to try out his new abilities more.
Otherwise, not knowing if this move could affect enemies in actual combat could lead to a huge loss.
Thinking this, Futsu Mitama also began to use this Power of Time, looking at Raiden Ei, with a silver-white light emanating from his hand.
Kamisato Ayaka watched intently from the side. She then saw a silver-white light shoot out from Futsu Mitama's hand, directly entering Raiden Ei's body.
"Buzz—!!"
Instantly, a powerful lightning glow erupted from Raiden Ei's body, and an indescribable divine power burst forth.
Kamisato Ayaka, the weakest in terms of strength, was directly overwhelmed by this sudden burst of divine power, collapsing towards the ground.
Futsu Mitama, who was closest to Kamisato Ayaka, immediately reached out and supported her.
"Thank you."
Ayaka looked at Futsu Mitama with some gratitude, and at the same time, she deeply realized how weak she truly was and how terrifying Archons were.
Through the group livestream, she had also witnessed the corner of Archon War between Futsu Mitama and Scaramouche, but at that time, she didn't feel much.
Now, the divine pressure unleashed by the Raiden Ei almost made her collapse to the ground.
Just the pressure alone almost made her fall to the ground. In a formal battle, perhaps just the aftershocks of an attack would be enough to kill her completely.
"It's nothing."
Futsu Mitama said it was no problem, just a small gesture. Afterward, he turned his gaze to Raiden Ei.
"Ineffective."
Raiden Ei said with some regret. She looked at Futsu Mitama and explained.
"When the Power of Time was injected into my body, the authority I possess automatically counterattacked. So it had no effect on me whatsoever. But it's also possible that your Power of Time isn't strong enough. If you went all out, you might be able to control me for an instant."
But Futsu Mitama showed a wry smile. It was precisely because he knew Raiden Ei's strength that he had essentially gone all out in driving the Time Stop ability just now.
Yet, even with that, it still couldn't affect Raiden Ei much. In a sense, this also proved Raiden Ei's power.
Indeed, Archons like Zhongli and Raiden Ei, who emerged from the Archon War, are formidable characters, not comparable to second-generation Archons like Nahida.
"Don't be discouraged. You've had this ability for too short a time. If you're given enough time, you'll definitely be able to develop it to the point of pausing the Time of an existence like Ei."
Raiden Makoto also comforted Futsu Mitama; he had only acquired this ability for too short a Time.
If he spent more time and effort developing it, its power would definitely be stronger than it was now.
"A promising future."
Yae Miko also looked at Futsu Mitama with shining eyes. Her thoughts were consistent with Raiden Makoto's.
Futsu Mitama had just gained the Time Stop ability and hadn't had Time to develop it yet, so its power was naturally a bit weaker.
Once he became familiar with this ability and honed it further, even if Futsu Mitama didn't possess Demon Gods authority, he would have a trump card that could threaten any Demon Gods.
In a life-or-death battle, even an instant of Time Stop could change the tide of the battle.
What's more, this Power originated from the Time Administrator below the Heavenly Principles.
Futsu Mitama naturally understood these principles, but he held a subtle attitude towards this Time Authority.
Firstly, this Power came too suddenly, and Futsu Mitama still didn't know how to develop it.
Secondly, the current Time Stop ability was very much a gimmick for the current Futsu Mitama. It could pause the Time of those below the Demon Gods, but for existences that had entered the Demon God Realm, it probably wasn't so easy to use.
Thirdly, the energy consumption was quite high. Just now, using the Time Stop ability on Raiden Ei not only failed but also consumed a large chunk of energy, equivalent to unleashing five or six full-powered Musou no Hitotachi in one breath.
Therefore, the Time Stop ability, for the current Futsu Mitama, was a minor trump card—useful, but not particularly useful.
But sometimes, it could be used to play tricks.
In short, it was better to have it than not.
—
After the experiments on the ability concluded, Futsu Mitama and his group further discussed the matter of Time-space travel.
Regarding Time-space travel, Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei stated that if it could be avoided, it should be avoided. Although such an action could change history—
Time Stop and Time-space travel are two different things. The former has a probability of being discovered by a [higher-tier] existence.
The latter is inevitably discovered by a [higher-tier] existence, unless it's like the Sacred Sakura, with the blessing of Istaroth's authority. Only then can Time-space travel occur without problems.
But the problem arises: where does one obtain Istaroth's authority?
Therefore, Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei very seriously stated that Futsu Mitama should not attempt this ability, as it would attract a calamity of death.
Futsu Mitama naturally agreed; he wouldn't court death. Even if he were to, he would wait until the Chat Group reached LV5 or LV6.
After a brief negotiation, Futsu Mitama stated that he needed to return to Sumeru, as there were still matters waiting for him to handle there.
After he finished handling those matters, he would return to Liyue to participate in the Rite of Descension.
This was an annual grand event.
Futsu Mitama would certainly not miss this event, which was also why he was eager to finish things in Sumeru and return to Liyue.
Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto did not stop Futsu Mitama, because all the necessary matters in Inazuma had been completed, and there was no reason to stop him.
After Futsu Mitama left, Kamisato Ayaka also expressed her desire to leave. Yae Miko, with a smiling expression, said that the next matters would be left to the two sisters.
She, the 'outsider,' would temporarily return to the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Thus, only Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto were left in the Tenshukaku.
"Makoto, what do you think?"
Raiden Ei spoke, her expression quite solemn. When Futsu Mitama and Miko were present, she dared not say much.
Because some things cannot be solved just by speaking them aloud.
The matters Raiden Ei referred to here were naturally Futsu Mitama's sudden acquisition of the Time Stop and Time-space travel abilities.
"I don't know."
Raiden Makoto shook her head slightly. Even she was unsure what was going on.
The situation was too sudden, already somewhat beyond Raiden Makoto's comprehension.
"Will she try to snatch him from us?"
Raiden Ei worried, because Futsu Mitama's own value was too high. Raiden Ei felt that her precious darling was being eyed by various existences.
The Anemo Archon was like this, the Geo Archon was like this, and Maha Rukkhadevata even directly made Futsu Mitama the Acting Dendro Archon.
Now, Futsu Mitama suddenly mastered the abilities of Time Stop and Time-space travel, making Raiden Ei couldn't help but suspect whether that Time Shade also valued Futsu Mitama's potential, and thus came to snatch him.
"That... is probably unlikely."
Raiden Makoto shook her head slightly. She understood [that shade]'s personality. If [that shade] wanted to snatch someone—
She wouldn't beat around the bush like this, but rather, like Morax, she would directly bestow a legacy of how to train the Authority, indicating,
'I've taken a liking to this person.'
But even Raiden Makoto couldn't be entirely sure if [that shade]'s personality had changed after five hundred years.
If there had been a change, that would be terrible, because [that shade]'s will, in a certain sense, represented [Heavenly Principles].
So Raiden Makoto was a bit worried. If [Heavenly Principles] were to step in and snatch him, how could the two sisters possibly contend?
Morax would probably be helpless in the face of it, forced to step aside for the bigger picture.
"Regardless, now that I have revived, a series of matters concerning Inazuma should be set in motion."
Raiden Makoto also stopped discussing such matters, because these things simply couldn't be managed.
If Futsu Mitama wasn't targeted by Heavenly Principles, it would be fine. If he was, they definitely couldn't contend, so it was better to manage the current Inazuma.
"Mm, I'll leave these matters to you, Makoto."
Raiden Ei also nodded, her tone serious.
"I also need to hone my martial arts. After your revival, those powers that were once lost have returned. I need to properly refine myself."
Raiden Makoto smiled and nodded. She knew Raiden Ei wasn't slacking off; the latter indeed needed to properly refine herself.
Although reaching Raiden Ei's level of strength, taking another step forward was almost impossible.
But the existence of the Chat Group, and her own [revival], led to a small increase in Raiden Ei's strength in a short period.
Don't underestimate this small increase; for Raiden Ei, who was at the pinnacle of Archons, this was an extraordinary improvement, possibly even allowing her to step into a higher tier.
Currently, the peak strength of Archons on the continent of Teyvat was the strongest openly known.
But in the future... who could say? So, the stronger Raiden Ei became, the better.
