"And when Li Yue found out, I naturally found out too. To be honest, Li Yue was shocked when he found out. He never expected that Inazuma's three policies would go to such lengths."

"I understand."

Ying nodded.

"I'll go and kill them all tomorrow."

What do you mean by "understanding"?

The divine child sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

She couldn't help but speak.

"Kage, don't rush. There are indeed some people who need to be killed, but how to kill them and how to deal with the others still need to be considered. This time, a large number of people are affected. The Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate still need to continue operating. If they are all killed, many of Inazuma's functions will come to a standstill."

The divine child still wanted to protect some people, such as the two from the Kamisato family.

"Indeed, that's something I didn't consider."

Shadow nodded in agreement with the divine child's words, and then looked at Shin.

"You're in charge of this; I'll handle the execution!"

That's how it's always been. Shin has always been in charge of handling Inazuma's affairs, while she, as a Shadow Warrior, only needs to be responsible for fighting and killing people. So now that Shin has returned, the Shadow Warrior immediately seems to have found a pillar of support, choosing to give up thinking and let Shin take care of these matters.

While this is absurd for a god, it makes perfect sense for the Shadow.

"Shadow, you are now Thor."

Zhen smiled as she looked at Ying.

"But...."

"Although I am in front of you now, I am actually controlling Li Yue's body. Li Yue is the Geo Archon of Liyue. He is going back to Liyue, and I will go back to Liyue with him."

"Shin, are you leaving me again!?"

Hearing that she really had to leave, Ying started to get anxious again.

"I already said, I'm going back to Liyue with Li Yue, I'm not leaving you! I still exist."

He really tapped Ying on the head.

"Li Yue is the Geo Archon of Liyue. Do you understand what I mean? Liyue is his territory. You asked me to help you find a solution. I've helped you this time, but what about in the future? Are you going to go to Liyue every time you encounter a problem?"

"I see."

Ying looked at Zhen with a bitter expression and nodded helplessly.

"Alright, I've said enough about what I needed to say. I should head back now, after all, this concerns Li Yue's health."

"Are you really going back?"

"That's all for tonight."

"And besides, Li Yue is going to see Thor tomorrow, so Ying, you better do your best! I've asked Li Yue to teach you a lesson for me!"

"Teach me a lesson?"

Ying looked at Zhen in surprise.

"That's right, Li Yue is very powerful. He will challenge you according to your rules for dueling before the emperor, so don't lose too badly!"

After saying that, Zhen leaned on Ying's shoulder, closed her eyes, and then a green light emanated from her body. When the light disappeared, the person who appeared in front of Shenzi and Ying was Li Yue from before.

Looking at Li Yue and recalling what Zhen had just said, Ying fell into deep thought.

"How amazing! His aura has truly vanished. Is this the power possessed by the Rock King from another world?"

The divine child transformed from the little fox into human form, curiously examining Li Yue, and even reaching out to poke Li Yue's face.

However, just as the divine child's finger touched Li Yue's face, Li Yue suddenly opened her eyes, and the divine child's body instantly froze.

"What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"

The goddess awkwardly withdrew her finger and explained in a low voice.

"Are you awake?"

Ying asked.

"Yes, I don't know why, but I felt strange, so I got up."

Li Yue was very serious.

"Why am I sitting up? And why is the shrine maiden in the room?"

"Well..."

The divine child didn't know how to explain it either, after all, the situation was too strange.

"I let her in."

Shadow spoke up to help the Divine Child out of his predicament.

She stood up.

"I'm sorry, I've been deceiving you all this time. I am actually Thor."

"Ok?"

The goddess looked at the shadow in surprise, wondering why she would suddenly reveal her identity.

"Are you Thor?"

Li Yue looked at Ying in surprise. "No, why did you suddenly self-destruct? I've only just started acting!"

“That’s right. It’s no use not to tell you now, because you said you’d come to see me tomorrow. We’ll still have to be honest with each other then, so I might as well tell you my true identity right now.”

Ying turned around to face Li Yue directly.

"Rock King Li Yue, I will be waiting for you at the castle tower, waiting for you to challenge me!"

After saying that, Ying transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out of the window, disappearing from sight.

Li Yue looked at the window that had been flung open by the shadow and couldn't help but pinch her chin.

Wait a minute, my plan was to keep Ying from showing her true form and keep her hanging on so she would play along. I had even planned to take her with me to rescue the Fox Palace. Why did this happen all of a sudden? What is this idiot trying to do by suddenly revealing her identity?

164. Thunder General, you are the challenger!

The resistance has been defeated!

The news that came back from the front lines at dawn invigorated the people of Inazuma.

Because of the fighting on the front lines, both merchants and farmers had to prepare supplies for the soldiers. Although this was to support the shogun's army, the Tenryō-bōchō and Kanjō-bōchō were inhumane and exploited them ruthlessly, which put them in a difficult position.

However, the war continued, and they could not help but support it, so the residents of Inazuma Castle were also looking forward to the end of the war.

Now, the war is finally over, and at least their task of procuring food and supplies for the Shogunate army at the front can finally be completed.

General Kujo Sara conquered Umijima Island overnight, and the people of Umijima Island surrendered after being persuaded by their mortal priestess, Sangomiya Kokoro.

At least, surrendering offers a chance of survival; not surrendering means certain death!

Thor's arrival on the battlefield indicates that he has lost patience. With a god involved, Haiqi Island is utterly powerless to resist. Haiqi Island, which once had its own chief god, was easily destroyed by Thor. Now, without its own chief god, it is even less likely to fight against Thor.

Although Thor's Eye of God's order led many Eye of God holders to join the resistance, they were completely powerless against Thor and were all wiped out in a single move.

500 years ago, Umijima offended Inazuma, and ever since, they have been outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful. Now that Raijin has intervened again, they have no choice but to surrender.

Kujo Sara led the shogunate army to escort the surrendered prisoners of war from Umijima back to Narukami Island. They traveled through the night, transporting the surrendered prisoners and the rebels captured from the camp to Inazuma Castle. As for the ordinary people who surrendered on Umijima Island, they were left behind on Umijima Island, with a portion of the shogunate army stationed there to guard them.

The shogunate army escorted the rebels into Inazuma Castle, with Kujo Sara leading the way, receiving a warm welcome from the residents of Inazuma Castle on both sides of the road.

However, Kujo Sara did not feel particularly proud; she simply led the shogunate army forward with a cold expression.

From the entrance to Inazuma Castle, the army marched through the entire castle and finally stopped outside the Thousand-Armed Hundred-Eyed Statue outside the castle tower, where Raijin was already waiting for them.

"Lord General."

Kujo Sara looked at the figure with its back to her, looking up at the thousand-armed, hundred-eyed statue, and stepped forward, kneeling on one knee.

"I have done as you instructed and captured all the rebels. Haizhi Island has also surrendered."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sara."

“Serving the General is my duty.”

Kujo Sara answered seriously.

"Get up."

Shadow slowly turned around, looked at Kujo Sara, and waved to the side.

"Take them aside first."

"Yes!"

Kujo Sara stood up and waved to the shogunate soldiers behind him. The soldiers dragged all the rebel prisoners to the open ground next to them.

The open space in front of the Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue is much larger than in the game; it could even be used as a parade ground.

The shogunate army led the prisoners aside, and Kujo Sara also went to the upper level area. However, what surprised Kujo Sara was...

All three of Inazuma's chief ministers were here at this moment.

The heads and key personnel of the three families—the Kujo family that led the Tenryo Magistrates (the same Kujo family that adopted Kujo Sara), the Tori family that led the Kansei Magistrates on the outlying islands, and the Kamisato family that managed the Shabu Magistrates—are all here.

"What's happening here?"

Kujo Sara asked the person next to her in a low voice.

"General Kujo, it's the General. Last night, the General had Okuzawa's men inform the three magistrates overnight, and they came here this morning."

Those around her provided an answer: although Kujo Sara was Kujo Ien's adopted daughter and not a true member of the Kujo family, she was deeply trusted by Raiden General and was his top general, respectfully addressed as General Kujo.

As those close to Kujo said, the reason the three magistrates were all here was because of Raiden's orders. After leaving the wooden tea room last night, Kage returned to the castle tower and immediately summoned the Okuzume-shu. He then ordered the Okuzume-shu to knock on the doors of the three magistrates' houses overnight and tell them to gather here this morning.

However, after gathering, Shadow just stood there staring at the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes statue, doing nothing else. They didn't dare ask Shadow what he was going to do, so they could only wait there.

When they saw Kujo Sara and the others return, the three magistrates assumed that it was Raiden General who had brought the three magistrates to welcome Kujo Sara, especially the Kamisato siblings, who knew best how the resistance was wiped out.

However, Kage's actions just now made them realize that this was not the case. Kage had no intention of celebrating Kujo Sara's victory, and Kujo Sara had no intention of celebrating either, because she knew that this war was entirely due to Rai Ichigo's efforts, and she was just leading the Shogunate army to pick up the scraps from behind.

"So, what exactly is the General trying to do?"
