Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Tengu was killed in battle, and the responsibility of taking over the administration of the Heavenly Territory fell to Kujo Sara.

Suzuka Gozen's voice came from behind the screen, "What is it? Why are you in such a hurry to see me in person? Didn't I say that any dissidents will be killed on the spot? You have the right to execute first and report later."

Kujo Sara lowered his head further and said solemnly, "The traitor Ayaka Kamisato has incited the people to rebel, and tens of thousands of people have already raised their flags in response, intending to take Inazuma Castle."

"Tens of thousands of people?! How is that possible? Even if Ayaka Kamisato were a succubus reincarnated, she couldn't possibly gather tens of thousands of people to rebel with her overnight!"

Suzuka Gozen could hardly believe her ears.

She firmly believed that the people would be grateful to her for making Inazuma the way she was now, and that even if she gave them money and weapons, they would not necessarily rebel.

Where did these tens of thousands of opponents come from?

Kujo Sara continued, "It was Yae no Miko... She told Inatsume that strange phenomena were appearing in the sky, and monsters were roaming around, which meant that there were treacherous officials around the Regent. It was a warning from heaven that someone needed to stand up and remove the treacherous officials. And they were also using a slogan called... 'Fengtian Jingnan' (meaning 'Upholding Heaven and Pacifying the Rebellion')."

"Jing...Jingnan?!" Suzuka Gozen finally couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up abruptly, her cheeks quickly turning bright red. "Anyone actually believes such a stupid thing?"

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat as she realized that the world was indeed still in a feudal era.

The phrase "Fengtian Jingnan" (奉天靖难) would be a joke in modern times, but in this ignorant era, there is no slogan more suitable for rebellion.

"Oh no! I've become a stand-in!"

Without a doubt, Yae no Kamiko doesn't have the brains to come up with such a ruthless plan; it must have been done by that extraterrestrial being!

This means that Tamamo-no-Mae has already...

For the first time, Suzuka Gozen's face showed a look of bewilderment. She stood there blankly for a moment, then quickly regained her composure and said coldly to Kujo Sara, "How many men are left to defend Inazuma?"

"Ten thousand foot soldiers, five hundred musketeers, three hundred arquebusiers, two thousand archers, three hundred hatamoto samurai, plus two thousand magistrates and five hundred personal guards, totaling about twenty thousand men."

Hearing this, Suzuka Gozen's brows gradually relaxed.

With Inazuma Castle possessing such strength, it is impregnable. What trouble could Ayaka Kamisato, with tens of thousands of farmers, possibly cause? Even if she were given tens of thousands more people, they still wouldn't be able to enter Inazuma Castle.

Moreover, he has the help of a hundred ghosts.

"Pass it down: I have no treacherous ministers by my side. It is Ayaka Kamisato and Miko Yae who are the treacherous ministers. Those who are willing to abandon darkness and turn to the light will be forgiven by me. Those who are stubborn and do not understand, do not blame me for being ruthless."

She then emphasized, "Anyone who follows Ayaka Kamisato in attacking Inazuma Castle is an enemy and should be killed without exception. You just need to guard the gates of Inazuma Castle and don't worry about anything else. I have my own way of dealing with it."

"Yes..."

Kujo Sara silently withdrew.

Suzuka Gozen turned around, took out the Heart of God again, and activated its power to condense a lightning shield to protect the inner city where she was.

She didn't care about the lives of others. Logically speaking, the combined strength of Ayaka Kamisato and Yae no Miko was insufficient to breach Inazuma Castle.

But she had to consider an unexpected factor: that extraterrestrial being.

If things really come to that, then the only option left is to use the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to raze Inazuma Castle to the ground.

The destructive power of a hundred demons gathered together is comparable to a small-scale dark calamity. Even the seven gods might not be able to withstand it, let alone that person from beyond the heavens.

Even if half of Inazuma's people were to die, Suzuka Gozen wouldn't care.

As long as she remains Inazuma's regent, everything will be alright.

Outside Inazuma Castle, the war has officially begun.

Under Rikuo's guidance, Yae no Miko's role as the priestess was perfectly fulfilled.

Throughout history, the influence of religion has been considerable, and in most cases, it has far surpassed that of the rulers of the time.

Holy Wars have been fought back and forth for thousands of years, kingdoms have changed names several times, and the struggle for faith continues.

Inazuma holds a special place in the hearts of the people, with only Narukami Taisha as his faith.

Suzuka Gozen was aware of the significance of this, which is why she had Tamamo-no-Mae impersonate the shrine maiden. If she had the power, she would have removed the shrine maiden from her position as the chief priest long ago.

Yae no Miko's position in Inazuma was second only to the Shogun, and no matter how outstanding Suzuka Gozen, the Regent, was, that fact could not be changed.

With just one word from the goddess, the entire Inazuma community would side with her.

If she says there are treacherous officials, then there must be. If she says she is acting in accordance with the will of Heaven to quell the rebellion, then the old farmers who farm the land will come with their hoes.

It is impossible for Suzuka Gozen to weaken the influence of religion in the short term; it will take at least until the next generation, or even the generation after that.

Unfortunately, her time is running out.

"fire!"

Thomas pointed to the city wall and gave the order.

boom! Boom boom!

Fireballs of elemental energy poured out, crashing into the city walls and instantly blasting dents into the stone walls.

The shogunate's garrison was stunned.

They were clearly a group of peasant soldiers, but their equipment was by no means inferior.

They even have cannons.

Without a doubt, it was funded by mainland students.

The technology of the Fools is beyond doubt. Compared to places like Inazuma, it's like the Trisolarans fighting primitives. If there were more laboratories and factories, Viktor could even build the guard robots of Fontaine.

Building a few cannons would be an insult to him.

The divine child quietly observed the battle from the rear, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

"My Yae no Miko has actually joined forces with the Fools to attack Inazuma Castle! Heavens, when will this dream ever end?"

She turned around and looked behind her, but Lu Sheng, who had been making sarcastic remarks, was nowhere to be seen.

I wonder what kind of crazy idea he's come up with this time.

The priest was convinced that the garrison of Inazuma Castle was about to suffer.

At this moment, Rikuo quietly crept to the foot of the city wall and looked up at the Inazuma City Wall, which was about ten meters high.

A classic line of dialogue echoed in his mind.

"On that day, humanity remembered the fear of being dominated by giants."

"Jaw Titan, Armored Titan, Attack Titan, I choose you!"

Having finally gotten a chance to test the strength of his creation, Lu Sheng wanted to have as much fun as possible.

These three giants each possess a portion of the divine child's power, making them arguably the three strongest generals under his command.

The next instant, a giant taller than the city wall suddenly appeared, staring intently at the shogunate army defending the city wall.

"Ah!!! Ahhh!!! A monster! A huge monster!!"

Upon seeing the giants for the first time, the shogunate soldiers were so terrified that they wet themselves and their legs went weak, leaving them unable to even run away.

Imagine you're having a close fight with the enemy using bows and muskets, when suddenly a giant head pops out from under the city wall. There's nothing more terrifying than that.

"Run!"

"Help...help!"

Wherever the giants appeared, the defending troops abandoned their armor and fled for their lives.

The Jaw Giant climbed the city wall using all four limbs at incredible speed, catching up with the fleeing defenders and crushing them with a single bite, leaving behind only severed limbs in its wake.

The Armored Titan leaped onto the city wall, using its sturdy shell to block the attacks of muskets and arrows, and charged towards the city gate, where it unleashed a flurry of punches that killed dozens of people.

The Attack Titan remained in place, unleashing its full power to smash the wall with punch after punch.

The stone bricks turned into fragments and flew out. In no time, the city wall, which even cannonballs could not penetrate, was smashed open by the attacking giant.

The Fools' Special Forces immediately poured in through the breach in the city wall, armed with AKs, and charged straight in, tearing a gap in the Shogunate army's ironclad defenses.

Kujo Sara tried his best to command the defenders to hold their ground, but the gap in strength was too obvious. Many defenders deserted as soon as they saw the giants, and their morale plummeted like a flood, impossible to recover.

Ayaka Kamisato's main force poured into the city through the breach in the wall, and after a fierce battle, the city gates also fell.

From this point on, the defense of Inazuma Castle, led by Kujo Sara, had been a complete failure.

"Retreat! Retreat! Everyone to the inner city! Defend the inner city to the death!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Kujo Sara began to order her troops to retreat. She could not surrender. Even if she fought to the last man, she represented the shogun of the shogunate. She would rather die than live in dishonor!

"General Kujo! There's a barrier in the inner castle! We can't get in!"

Suddenly someone came to report the news, which shocked Kujo Sara.

"What? What you said is true?"

"It's absolutely true! Everyone who gets close to the barrier is bounced back! We've tried everything, but we just can't get in! General! The Regent's intention is for us to fight to the death!"

Enraged, Kujo Sara drew her sword, intending to destroy the barrier.

"What a joke! How could I send my soldiers to their deaths pointlessly! I must retreat to the inner city no matter what!"

Just then, a terrifying red light descended from the sky.

The time of twilight descends once more, and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons appears.

In an instant, demons danced wildly in Inazuma Castle, and bloodthirsty monsters came from the mortal world to sweep everything away, just like the dark calamity that occurred five hundred years ago.

The demons don't care about right or wrong. Whether you are a member of the shogunate army, a commoner of Inazuma, or a rebel, as long as you are alive, you cannot escape their clutches.

This time, Kujo Sara saw it clearly: the eerie red light was emanating from the inner castle where the Kanpaku was located.

He finally understood the purpose of the barrier that covered the inner city.

Everyone is a victim.

The tragedy that unfolded on Umijima Island is now being repeated in Inazuma Castle.

As demons and monsters approach, Lu Sheng realizes that the real war has only just begun.

He no longer held back and released all of his creations.

In wars of this scale, ordinary armies can play a limited role; at most, they can only deal with some minor monsters.

Even the most powerful demons have to rely on their own creations to fight for power.

In an instant, giants, tyrants, Godzilla, Ultraman and other creations took turns to fight against Suzuka Gozen's hundred demons, which was quite a spectacle.

Giants gang up on the Ara-Kumo, the Tyrant tears apart the Rin-yūdō, Godzilla angrily spews out the Ancient Cage Fire, and Ultraman battles Yato-gami.

Inazuma Castle had become a chaotic battleground, and this ancient city, rich in history, was instantly reduced to a scene of devastation.
