Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Seeing that the plan was effective, the dark Cardodia continued, "God of Thunder, I am Cardodia, the god who protects the dragon lizard. I once made a pact with you to protect Inazuma together."

By absorbing the power and desires of the dragon lizard race, He is, in a sense, also a part of Cardodia, only its dark side.

"God of Thunder, have you forgotten what I did for Inazuma? I have now been resurrected and wield power; you should be happy for me," the dark Cardodia continued.

however.

Ying was in pain at first, but soon, her clenched fist slowly relaxed.

“You are not him, even if... your power originates from the same source as his.” Shadow raised his gaze, his expression growing increasingly cold. “You shouldn’t have tried to impersonate him to deceive me, because you are simply not worthy.”

The dark Cardodia was taken aback, then flew into a rage: "I am the oldest elemental dragon king, wielding one of the seven great powers. You are nothing but thieves who have overstepped your authority. What right do you have to speak of me? My will is above all else. How can you, mere descendants and arrogant fools, compare yourself to me?"

Ying Yijiu said, "You are not worthy."

"Insolence! Today I will slay you and wash away the ancient grudges!"

The pitch-black Cardodia roared repeatedly, its body radiating lightning. Countless black bolts leaped out, rumbling and filling the air, transforming into a domain of lightning. Within this domain, its power rapidly increased.

Ying's gaze remained cold.

However, deep within those eyes lay pain and desolation.

When she sensed the fluctuation of this power, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her heart, and she was unable to calm down for a long time.

She had thought that even if it was just a one in ten thousand miracle, if she could see Cardodia again, it would be fine no matter what, but in the end it was all just a dream.

Five hundred years of silence and meditation had almost caused her to relinquish her powers as Thor. What constantly lingered in her mind was the parting she had experienced in Canria.

She stretched out her hand with all her might, trying to grab something, but she couldn't grasp anything.

In the end, she couldn't do anything.

She blamed herself, felt guilty, and shut herself off. Even knowing how much that cunning fox longed to see her, she still refused to take that step.

It's as if after that step, today is separated from yesterday, and we can never reach the place where Cardodia is again.

"As expected... it was all for naught. This fleeting world, so ephemeral, is like a bubble..."

"Cardodia, we must part ways eventually."

A deep sense of reluctance welled up in Ying's heart.

Five hundred years of waiting, clinging to that miracle... It's ridiculous. They are clearly gods, yet they pray and yearn for a miracle to happen like their subjects.

Until that hope was magnified countless times, and he felt the power of Kadodia return, he thought that the wait had finally come to an end... Even if, even if the other party turned into that little elemental spirit back then, even if he lost all his power, as long as he was still alive.

but.

It's still impossible in the end!

Such things, like reunions, are definitely just a lie.

Cardodia, you liar.

fraud.

fraud.

fraud...

Terrifying lightning crackled around Shadow's body, and the aura of the God of Heaven shone forth. Compared to the power emanating from the dark Cardodia, Shadow appeared 'small' and 'calm', but beneath this calm, an even more terrifying crisis was brewing.

"Cardodia, the time for farewell has come... We will never meet again in this life." Shadow decided to let go of this obsession and focus on his own eternity.

To comprehend and attain eternity, perhaps we should consider what Raiden Shin once said about the fleeting nature of eternity... Shin, her sister, she thought of Raiden Shin. If she succeeds, it will be a kind of tribute to her sister.

"you--"

The pupils of the pitch-black Cardodia suddenly contracted.

He suddenly sensed a life-threatening threat from Lei Yingdian.

He would die, he would be killed again... This intuition, stemming from an ancient being, led Him to make a decision immediately.

Rumble~~~

The destructive lightning pulsed, and under the control of the dark Cardodia, it transformed into an endless storm of lightning that swept towards the shadow.

—The lightning was suddenly extinguished!

"Is that all the power you have?"

Shadow's face was expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow. Guided by the concept of eternal non-thought, he unleashed a groundbreaking strike.

At this moment, the wind stopped, the thunder lost its freedom, and the sky and earth were imprisoned for a brief instant. Then, as the blade light fell, everything in its path was severed!

boom!

The thunder and rainstorm were cut in half, and when Shadow raised his eyes, he saw only the pitch-black Cardodia fleeing into the distance.

"Humph!"

Impersonating Cardodia, trying to escape?

Her figure flashed, and her power descended across space.

"God of Thunder, are you really going to go this far?!" roared the dark Cardodia.

"You shouldn't become like him, you don't deserve it."

A cold, indifferent voice echoed through the space.

"Just for this reason, you want to fight me to the death?"

"You do not deserve."

"A free-for-all! Even if I die, I won't let you get away with it!"

Damn damn damn!

Damn the dragon lizard clan, damn it, if their power hadn't been weakened, they wouldn't be in this situation.

Realizing escape was hopeless, the dark Cardodia's eyes flashed with ferocity as it unleashed its remaining power to the fullest extent.

Even the highest dragon cannot allow himself to be in such a sorry state!

"Let's die together!"

The pitch-black Cardodia shone with a dark light, and the power of lightning was detonated by its authority, turning into a world-destroying explosion that erupted high in the sky.

At this moment, everyone in Inazuma raised their heads, looked at the terrifying power under the Annihilation Thunder, and knelt down, shouting the name of the Thunder General.

Torachiyo, Yae no Kamiko, and the others were all stunned.

Even a bard who was preparing to step onto the Dragon King Festival stage to earn enough money for wine for his upcoming journey showed surprise when he saw the lightning flash across the sky.

"Is Inazuma going to explode? Hurry up and take the money back to Mondstadt."

Boom! !

The violent energy surged into Dragon City, overturning everything, and Ying, protected by Xuanyuan Wufeng's power, was flung off from the sky.

"Traveler!!"

Paimon flew quickly to her side.

"Traveler, are you alright?!"

Ying steadied herself, shook her head, and continued to stare at the horizon.

After a long time, the outburst of emotion gradually subsided.

The air was thick with terrifying lightning elemental power.

High in the sky, Ying held his dream in his hand and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Is he dead...?"

As expected of the will of ancient lightning, if this power were to return to its peak state, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even so, Ying still wanted to say those three words—you don't deserve it.

What ancient dragon king, what seven powers, none of them are worthy of becoming Cardodia.

"It's time to go."

Ying lowered her gaze, concealing the sadness in her heart.

Let it go, let go of that obsession.

With a flash, he returned to Dragon City.

At this moment, the dragon lizards had already evacuated under the arrangement of the guardians, leaving only Ablak, who was on the verge of death after crashing into the formation, as well as Ying and Paimon on the entire altar.

"Although your foolishness nearly brought destruction to Qinglai Island and Inazuma, I admire your final decision and have therefore decided to pardon the Dragon Lizard Clan's crimes," Shadow said, standing before Ablak.

In fact, even without Ablak's final actions, she had no intention of destroying the dragon lizard race.

After all, these were her last memories.

It's also her fault; she ignored the dragon lizard clan for five hundred years, which led to the current situation.

"God of Thunder, we do not need your forgiveness." Ablak's voice was weak, but still stubborn.

Shadow raised an eyebrow: "I'm not forgiving you, but forgiving the Dragon Lizard Clan. They are all people protected by Cardodia."

"You have no right to mention Lord Cardodia!" Abraq's voice became agitated. "God of Thunder, put away your hypocrisy. Don't think I don't know that if you hadn't coveted Lord Cardodia's power and plotted to kill him, you wouldn't have been able to secure your position as God of Thunder!"

"?"

Shadow frowned deeply: "What are you talking about? When did I kill Cardodia?"

"Stop pretending! I've already sensed the power within you, the power of Lord Cardodia!"

"what..."

Shadow opened his hand.

The pure purple crystal appeared in his hand.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Ablak exclaimed excitedly, "This is the power of Lord Cardodia! You tried to seize it for yourself, you thief who stole power!"

The shadow remained silent.

After a long silence, she said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, this is what Cardodia left behind when he died... Also, more than you, more than all of you, I was the one who most wanted him to live. It was my fault for not being able to save him, but I will not allow you to question my relationship with Cardodia."
