Original God, but the real world

Chapter 158 157-Question
Yae Shinko prepared for a long time.

Training Ying to adapt to Lei Dianying's attack methods is actually only a small part of the preparation.

With Ying's combat experience, she only needs to understand it a little to be able to deal with it.

After all, this traveler who travels between different worlds also has rich combat experience.

In fact, what limited Yingbo's victory was not his so-called martial arts, but the simple difference in elemental power between the two people.

Although General Raiden is a puppet, his "basic material" is Raiden's own body.

This otaku girl was indeed decisive. After discovering that the scattered soldiers could not withstand the Heart of God and were quite weak, she simply used her own body as material to rebuild a puppet.

With this precious material as a foundation, the elemental force that General Thunder can drive is truly too enormous.

Combat experience and skills are really not worth mentioning in the face of such a huge gap in size.

What's more, the general is also full of martial virtues.

The various genres of Inazuma that are currently popular actually originated from this Lei movie.

It is impossible to make up for this gap by just training in martial arts.

The efforts made by the Eightfold God's Son are not to make up for the gap in elemental power between the two sides.

There are many ways to defeat someone, and it is not necessary to have an advantage in every attribute in order to win.

The Pure Land of One Heart is a special space formed by Lei Dianying with his own will.

The Eightfold God's Son himself could not locate this place at all, but He took the initiative to pull Ying in, and the Eightfold God's Son had an anchored coordinate.

She prepared for a long time and took into account various unexpected events.

The only thing that this fox demon lady didn't expect was that her plan had been exposed before it even began.

"Come on, Son of God."

Standing on top of the castle tower, General Raiden invited his followers, "Come with all your plans and try to challenge me."

Even though they were separated by a great distance, the sky over Inazuma was still filled with thunder that showed no sign of stopping.

This is a symbol of Him once again directing His will over this body after a long time.

After knowing Yae Shinto's plan, Lei Dianying was not in a hurry to track down Jiang Qing, but instead extended an invitation to Yae Shinto.

He had no intention of fighting with the Eightfold Divine Son and Ying in the Pure Land of Oneness.

Since they have been preparing for so long, we might as well give them more advantages.

Let’s put the battlefield into reality.

With just one sentence, Yae Shinko guessed that his plan, which had not yet been officially launched, had already been passed on to Lei Diandian.

There are very few people among Inazuma who are qualified to meet the general, and even fewer who know about Isshin Pure Land and Rai's movies.

Yae Shinko found the answer easily.

It's just the fools... or that troublesome person.

"Trouble is something you really can't avoid." The palace official sitting under the sacred cherry tree looked calm, without any anger. "Even if you don't provoke it, as long as it exists, it will explode at some point."

"Ying, I can understand a little bit now. Why do you hate variables so much?"

She covered her lips with her hand, as if she was laughing.

These people really deserve to die.

······
"What a big fuss?"

Jiang Qing raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window which had suddenly darkened.

This is an invitation from Ming Shen.

He is still willing to give the Eightfold Son of God enough time to prepare, but the Eightfold Son of God will not let Him wait too long.

Just by standing on the castle tower, above Narukami Island and even above the entire Inazuma, the sound of thunder and explosion was already brewing.

"My old folks say that God's grace is like the sea, and God's might is like a prison." He whispered to himself, "Of course I haven't seen God's grace, but it's true that God's might is like a prison."

Its mere existence is able to mobilize this level of lightning elemental power... This is the power of the true Thunder General who has survived the Seven Rulings to this day.

"How could Mr. Jiang Qing never have seen the grace of God?" Tartaglia walked to his side and looked up at the sky. "Moracus, General Thunder, they all gave you the gift of God, didn't they?"

The former bestows power, and the latter hands over the scepter.

In some ways, Jiang Qing is also special.

"Gift..." Jiang Qing smiled, "Let's not talk about this. No one knows what the general wants to do, and no one can stop him."

"The thunder in the sky is not meant for people like me."

He seemed like an outsider and had a calm expression.

Tartaglia did not doubt Jiang Qing.

The elemental power of the God of Thunder enveloped the entire castle tower, and no one could peek at the god up there.

Whether it is Lei Dianying or the general who is in control of this body, only Yae Shenzi knows this question.

Jiang Qing went to pay a visit to General Raiden on a regular basis. This time, the incident in Tokyo caused by Narukami happened some time after he left the castle tower, so it had nothing to do with him intuitively.

As for the Fatui's investigation, Jiang Qing always gives up on matters involving gods and never invests too much energy and time.

At the moment, his indifference was in line with Tartaglia's expectations.

"You're right." Tartaglia responded to Jiang Qing.

He was concerned about his colleagues' plans, but he didn't think he had the ability to challenge the God of Thunder in his prime.

"It seems that our deal is about to end."

He also got back to the point.

On the Heart of God side, his colleagues are involved.

Whether she is a soldier from Inazuma who has been operating here for a long time, or a lady who has already obtained two Hearts of God, in theory, they are more likely to obtain the Heart of God than him.

In this case, Tartaglia's identity makes it inconvenient for her to participate in it.

During this period of time, the tasks that Tartaglia handled actually had little to do with the Heart of God.

He was involved in the management of the operations of the Fatui who stayed in Inazuma.

The Fatui have the backing of Solstice, and a very strong heart behind them.

But to enjoy the support from Solstice, they must contribute to the operation of the Fatui.

Not only conquering the Heart of God, but also earning Mora are actually the tasks of the Fatui.

Of course, these missions generally have nothing to do with executives of Tartaglia's level.

He was not in charge of finances, but military affairs.

When necessary, he would even sacrifice the Fatui's long-term operation in a country in exchange for something he wanted.

In fact, the Seven Stars can fully investigate the matter of Liyue Harbor.

Even if this incident is not deliberately exaggerated, it is enough to trigger a war between the two countries.

The reason why the Seven Stars and the Immortals had no intention of taking action was that Liyue did not suffer too much loss in the disaster.

The one who suffered the most was Ningguang, who lost the Qun Yu Pavilion that she had worked so hard to build.

In return, she obtained a seat slightly above the seven stars.

In fact, there is no distinction between the Seven Stars. They are of the same level as the Three Envoys.

But there is no high or low position, but the reputation and ability of those who wield power are certain.

The leader of the Seven Stars today is naturally Ningguang.

As for the losses in Liyue Harbor, the lady and Chil-sing negotiated another compensation.

Besides, given that the old man insisted on retiring, war was really not appropriate.

At this time, Liyue also had its own internal troubles that needed to be resolved.

Under various constraints, everyone had to choose peace.

But peace on paper does not mean that there are really no conflicts among us.

The rich are still working on infiltrating the Seven Stars, and correspondingly, the Zhidong merchants operating in Liyue Harbor, as well as the Liyue people who have too close relations with the Zhidong people, have actually suffered some kind of suppression from the General Affairs Department.

The price of peace in this war is that the development of Zhidong in Liyue is difficult. Similarly, the development of Liyue people in Zhidong is also limited.

Due to the contract on paper, they will not exploit people openly like Inazuma did during the period of national isolation.

However, the actual methods are actually similar.

There are too many ways to restrict one's own side on someone else's home turf.

Jiang Qing looked out the window casually, and his mind didn't seem to be on the negotiations.

It seems like Tartaglia is a reckless man... but actually he is not.

Most of the Fatui's business in Inazuma City is actually handled by him and the rich man's deputies.

It would be impossible for his other two colleagues to waste their time in such a place.

Tartaglia did surprisingly well.

Regardless of whether there is someone supporting him behind the scenes or it is his personal answer, the fact that Jiang Qing cooperated with the other party so smoothly is enough to show that the other party is not a reckless man.

He just habitually uses force to solve problems, but if he encounters a problem that cannot be solved by force, he will still communicate well.

So when the lady lost the duel in front of the emperor and knew she was about to die, she even tried to threaten General Lei Dian with her identity as the Messenger of Winter... quite embarrassing.

Fear of death is actually normal, and Jiang Qing is also afraid of death.

But the lady still had some style in the early stages, and when she was facing life and death in the end, she was actually not much different from ordinary people.

Jiang Qing thought aimlessly, occasionally agreeing with Tartaglia's words.

After the cooperation with the Fatui ended, the two sides could have lived in peace.

But Jiang Qing decided to take away the Heart of God.

From the moment this thought came into his mind, he became the mortal enemy of the Fatui.

Jiang Qing didn't care about this identity. He already had a debt to settle with the Fatui. But at the beginning he still felt that he missed a chance and planned to delay it for another version.

However, since we are now embarking on a hostile path, we might as well use bolder means and directly wipe out all of the Fatui who are active in Inazuma.

【So I really have to support the lockdown. 】

Jiang Qing thought.

He pushed Kujo Takayuki to complete the Eye Hunting Order, and now supports the Closure Order, both of which were resisted by Ying in the plot.

It seems like he is a villain.

"Are you planning to attack the Fatui?"

Tartaglia suddenly said.

"How did you know that?" Jiang Qing adjusted his cuffs, looking somewhat nonchalant.

Being discovered was a bit of a hassle, but Tartaglia couldn't do anything about it.

This is the residence of Tenryo Bugyo.

The cooperation between Jiang Qing and the Fatui is based on the foundation of Kujo Takayuki, and they are not enemies in this respect.

This is a very common situation.

Although Jiang Qing and Kujo Takayuki both knew that the other wanted them to die quickly and far away, at certain moments, both sides still needed to cooperate.

Hatred is not a reason to prevent cooperation. Both Kujo Takayuki and Jiang Qing accept this truth.

However, Kujo Takayuki's cooperation was to delay time.

He needs time to reorganize the situation and try to make up for his mistakes.

But Jiang Qing is different. He does things step by step and strives for General Lei Dian's approval step by step.

Jiang Qing took the advantage.

As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, victory will automatically come to him over time.

As for whether Kujo Takayuki can do it, he needs time, but time is not on his side. The longer he delays, the slimmer his chances become.

This is fair, because the original situation was that Kujo Takayuki could win by waiting for time to pass.

But he made a mistake, and it got caught.

So the offense and defense changed, and it was Kujo Takayuki's turn to exploit other people's mistakes.

When it comes to Kujo Takayuki, only time is on Jiang Qing's side.

So when facing the Fatui, it's not just time that stands on Jiang Qing's side.

In terms of strength alone, Jiang Qing is no match for Tartaglia.

But the residence of the Tenryo Bugyo is right next to the castle tower, and at this moment, Lei Diandian is high up in the castle tower.

Tartaglia won't do anything.

"I made a mistake?" Jiang Qing was a little curious, "Why did you suddenly say that?"

He was confident that his cooperation with the Fatui had no flaws at all - normally speaking, even if they were such bad guests as the Fatui, most people would not think of getting rid of them before their investment money was safely in their pockets.

"There is no evidence." Tartaglia shook his head, "But I just said that the cooperation is over, and you didn't refute it."

"Since you feel that the alliance of interests is over, I can't think of any reason for you to continue to retain the Fatui's power in Inazuma."

The end of a cooperation marks the end of the union of interests between the two parties.

Of course, if the cooperation is pleasant, both parties can sign a new contract based on the last cooperation and explore new directions.

And Tartaglia's idea is simple.

The collaboration doesn’t end there.

Jiang Qing did not restrict the Fatui's wealth from spreading throughout Inazuma, which was a more relaxed cooperation than that of Kujo Takayuki.

If they continue like this, the Fatui can still continue to make profits, and Jiang Qing can also get the chips he wants.

It can be said that before the Fatui’s capital expands to a certain extent, the so-called cooperation should not end.

But Jiang Qing believes that the cooperation is over.

While normal cooperation could still continue, Jiang Qing chose to terminate it.

This is a very clear signal.

From the perspective of the Fatui, the end of cooperation with Jiang Qing means that Jiang Qing no longer needs the Fatui to continue to provide him with benefits.

Of course, the Fatui's plan was not over yet, so they still had something to ask of Jiang Qing.

But on the other hand, does Jiang Qing also have reasons to cooperate, just like the Fatui?

Tartaglia got a very simple answer.

No.

This person is not greedy and has no interest in Mora or anything else.

The problem is that the benefits that can be attached to the Fool's transactions are actually those things that he has no interest in.

As the executive officer of the Fatui, Tartaglia is able to mobilize many resources to contribute to his own plans.

So he could understand that although these things of Mora were valuable, they were definitely not worth it for someone like him to stop and do something.

Kujo Takayuki did not choose to cooperate simply for the benefit of the Fatui. He valued more the convenience brought by the power that Tenryo Bugyo could wield within the Eye Hunting Order.

Although the deal made by the Fatui brought many benefits to Jiang Qing, there was no benefit that Jiang Qing could not refuse.

For him, the greatest value of cooperation is that both parties do not need to be hostile at this time.

If the cooperation of the Fatui cannot bring Jiang Qing conditions that he cannot refuse, it also means that this partner may become the enemy of the Fatui at any time.

"What you are doing has already been done once by Kujo Takayuki." Tartaglia had no intention of taking action, "The Fatui will not fall in the same place twice."

"Fall?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows. "I don't think Kujo Takayuki would agree with such an explanation."

If the outcome of the Fatui can be considered a fall, then how should the outcome be calculated for him, the Tenryo Bugyo-sama who has to fight for the life and death of his family?

"Why do you have such hostility towards the Fatui?" Tartaglia said, "We were originally working together very well, and this is not Liyue."

Jiang Qing knew the purpose of the Fatui, so Tartaglia couldn't understand why he made the same choice as Kujo Takayuki.

Kujo Takayuki only unilaterally distrusts the Fatui.

He knew what the plans for the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order were, so he was very wary of the fools who persuaded him to promote these orders.

Although Kujo Takayuki was moved by the benefits, he resolutely chose to cooperate.

But this did not prevent him from planning to expel the Fatui after taking all the blame and denying his responsibility.

But Jiang Qing... doesn't he know that what the Fatui want is the Heart of the God of Thunder?

To take a step back, even if the Fatui have some plans for Inazuma, this is a problem that the Inazuma people need to bear.

"Could it be that you really intend to stay in Inazuma and become the king of Inazuma?"

This is the most reasonable explanation.

But it is also the least likely explanation.

According to the intelligence gathered by the Fatui on Jiang Qing, he is an unexpected factor only slightly inferior to Ying.

There was no way the general would tolerate such people being active in his territory.

"Why don't you understand?" Jiang Qing sighed, "Killing a person requires a reason, but destroying a person doesn't."

Tartaglia didn't understand for a moment.

Fortunately, he heard the hostility in Jiang Qing's words.

"What a shame." Tartaglia smiled. "In fact, I have always regretted that I should have tried to kill you when we met in Liyue."

"Oh? That's a bit regrettable indeed." Jiang Qing smiled, "I also have a question. Since you've thought about killing me, do the Fatui plan to try to kill Ying?"

"Compared to me, she is a bigger unexpected factor."
