In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Narukami Taisha is definitely not a good place to go. Yae no Miko is the high priestess there, and going there now would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

Leaving Narukami Island sounds like a good option, but if they were sunk at sea, it would be a complete disaster.

Moreover, they are currently unable to reach the coast of Narukami Island.

Over time, the amount of this black mist has increased several times compared to the beginning.

They used to have space to hide from the black mist, but now they are almost in a situation where they are being slashed with every step they take. They are completely surrounded.

When she has a moment to catch her breath, Suzumiya Yu will open the system shop to see if there are any items she can exchange for.

But these items are basically useless to them. The strongest Sun Breathing might be of some use, but that thing requires a full five thousand points.

It's not that Suzumiya Yu can't afford it, but the points he's accumulated are all for upgrading his combat system. If he just uses them up like this, he'll feel a little unwilling.

Moreover, the Breath of the Sun might help them, it's not guaranteed. If it doesn't work after they switch, they'll be cursing.

Or... there is another way.

By abandoning Ayaka Kamisato and the others, and escaping alone, Yuu Suzumiya might be able to save herself.

Given the current situation, this is the best way to minimize the losses.

So be it, it doesn't matter anymore anyway. The moment she became the Demon King, Suzumiya Yui made up her mind to become a ruthless person.

Humanity can't be more important than life, can it?

However, just as Suzumiya Yu was about to break through the encirclement alone, a loud bang came from the distant sky.

The opposite side shook violently as a result, and at the same time, the black mist surrounding them seemed to be summoned and began to converge in that direction.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and Ryouya Yuu also abandoned her idea of ​​abandoning the three of them and leaving alone.

At this moment, all the black mist seemed to lose its aggressiveness. Unaware of what had happened, they all rushed madly towards the direction of Inazuma Castle.

Suddenly, a purple light rose into the sky, and the demonic resentment that had been hovering above Inazuma Castle was severed with a single strike.

If you look closely, you can see another person in the sky.

That was General Thunder. She was expressionless, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura, causing even the air to tremble violently.

Her body radiated a purple light symbolizing the element of lightning. Holding a gleaming katana in her hand, she stepped through the void, walking step by step toward the severed demon god's resentment.

Many people who witnessed this scene knelt down, including foreigners.

Because they had seen the true gods, and if they offended their divine power, they would surely be killed.

Ryou Suzumiya did not kneel down, but even he felt a pang of fear in the face of such an oppressive scene.

Although she had rescued Udagawa from General Raiden, she hadn't used her full strength at the time; otherwise, the entire castle tower would have been reduced to ruins.

Now that the serpent god Orobas's resentment is running rampant on Narukami Island, it's no surprise that it has angered this powerful being whom we usually only know by name but never by sight.

At that moment, as General Thunder slowly raised the katana in her hand, the void around her began to tremble violently.

Space shattered, and in its place came a powerful energy that ordinary people could not even look at directly.

This energy gradually gathered into General Thunder's weapon, and at this moment, even the demon god's resentment felt a great crisis.

Its body seemed to be trembling, as if it were afraid.

In its previous life, Orobas, in its serpentine form, was annihilated by General Raiden with a single strike. How much more so now, when its power is far less than it was then?

The next second, as General Lei Dian's hand slowly lowered, the ultimate symbol of her martial arts—the thoughtless strike—came down.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had been frozen in time, and everyone and everything was motionless.

As time began to flow, a deafening roar erupted, and countless intense rays of light blinded everyone, preventing them from witnessing the thrilling scene.

The bright light lasted for a long time, and by the time everyone regained their vision, the dark clouds that had covered the sky had disappeared.

Not only that, the Thunder General and the Demon God's resentment above Inazuma Castle also disappeared.

It's as if... everything that just happened was just an illusion.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, but it seemed the crisis was over.

Since it was daytime, Utagawa and Karasu had already sought refuge in the shade the moment they realized the sunlight was on them.

This is a biological instinct, and has nothing to do with a reaction.

Although it was a close call, they managed to avoid the tragedy of dying from exposure to sunlight.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: After the Disaster

"That was Wuxiang's slash."

Inside the cave, Udagawa and Karasuya hid because they couldn't be exposed to sunlight.

Long ago, Udagawa had longed to witness that sword strike with his own eyes. He had the opportunity when he lost the duel before the emperor, but his wish was dashed because of the sudden appearance of Suzumiya Yu.

Now that he has finally seen it as he wished, well... as someone who also pursues martial arts, he always feels a sense of frustration.

"The ultimate martial arts skill... that's what I'm pursuing."

Wu Ye was equally shocked. He had never shown any emotion before, but now his hands trembled uncontrollably due to his excitement.

......

The crisis has been resolved, which is good news for the residents of Narukami Island.

After receiving the news, Kujo Jinya immediately sent people back, but they arrived a little late.

Fortunately, their reaction was slow; if they had arrived earlier, they might have been completely wiped out.

General Raiden's personal intervention has given the Shogunate army, which has been feeling utterly humiliated lately, a much-needed boost.

Unfortunately, General Thunder still did not intervene in their war with the rebels, and she received no reply to the official documents submitted to her by the three magistrates.

This is puzzling. Why would General Thunder ignore these matters when she could intervene? Does she see this level of warfare as nothing more than a farce, something that doesn't require her involvement?

So many people died.

Because of this disaster, nearly half of the houses in Inazuma Castle were reduced to ruins, the number of casualties exceeded four figures, and the number of missing persons was countless.

It can be said that although General Raiden intervened at the critical moment to resolve the demon's resentment, Inazuma still suffered heavy losses and will likely stagnate for the next few years.

What's worse is that, because Inazuma is currently under lockdown, if they want to rebuild, they can only rely on domestic resources, as it's very difficult to get foreign goods in.

Even if there were fleets like the Southern Cross fleet that could cross thunderstorms to reach the Inazuma coast, the price of the goods they transported would be several times higher than usual, so buying them directly would be a huge loss.

There was nothing they could do; the seclusion edict was, after all, the will of General Raiden, and even if Inazuma was dissatisfied with it, he dared not say anything.

Even the three officials, after failing to receive a response to their several submissions of official documents, chose to give up.

As a result, Inatsume entered a long period of rehabilitation.

Meanwhile, things weren't very peaceful for the Fools either.

"Still haven't found the stragglers?"

A white-haired young man sat in a chair, and in front of him, a debt collector knelt on one knee.

"We are very sorry, but we still haven't found any trace of Lord Sanbing. Please calm down, [Puppet] Lord, and give us some more time..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thread formed from elemental force pierced through his body.

"Are you kidding me? You were the one who led the team that went with him back then, and now you're telling me you can't find him?"

The threads churned inside his body, and the debt collector felt extreme pain, but he dared not show any anger, nor even let out a scream.

It should be noted that the white-haired youth in front of him held the same status as a skirmisher and possessed strength that was no less than his own.

The ninth seat of the Fools' Enforcers—[Puppet], a character who has not appeared in the game, and even the information we know about him is only a few words.

No, to be precise, it was only mentioned briefly in the PV description, without any further information.

He was also the attacker who controlled Suzumiya Yu's body on Haiqi Island and made him cut off his own head.

Now, the puppet is in a bad mood because the skirmisher has gone missing.

If the skirmisher had simply disappeared, he certainly wouldn't be so angry. But the problem is, the skirmisher disappeared after obtaining the Heart of God from General Raiden.

The puppet came to Inazuma simply to see who the troublesome guy the soldiers were talking about was; the Heart of God in this region was none of his business.

But no matter what, the ultimate goal of the Fools was to collect the hearts of the other six gods, and now that this had happened, he couldn't go back and explain it to them.

More importantly, he has no close confidants on Inazuma's side, so even if they conspire to deceive him, he might not know it.

With that thought in mind, he took the life of the debtor without even glancing at his corpse.

"Keep searching! Even if you have to turn the whole of Inazuma upside down, find him!"

......

A week has passed since the incident involving the demon's resentment occurred.

Suzumiya Yu and the others returned to their hiding place. After all, this place had not been discovered yet and was a rare and good location, so they couldn't just abandon it so easily.

The biggest change during this period should be Ayaka Kamisato's attitude towards Yui Suzumiya.

The two of them used to have almost nothing in common, and although they still don't now, Ayaka Kamisato always takes the initiative to chat with him.

Well, all of this should be within Suzumiya Yu's expectations. After all, she had risked her life to protect her before, and even an animal would understand that he was her savior.

But Ayaka Kamisato didn't know that it was just a hair's breadth away. If General Raiden had acted any later, Yui Suzumiya would have abandoned them without hesitation and fled for her life alone.

Human nature is treacherous; even those who are absolutely obedient to you may choose to betray you. Ryougu knew this very well, so he never gave Uya and the others a chance to rebel.

The curse he placed on them was that if they had any thoughts that went against his will, they would feel pain as if a thousand arrows were piercing their hearts, and if such thoughts were stronger, they would be instantly reduced to ashes.

That's torture several times more painful than being scorched by the sun; even ghosts couldn't bear it.

Judging from the current situation, Wuye, Toma, and Utagawa do not have any intention of rebelling. Even if they did, he would find out immediately.

This pleased him greatly, and in terms of efficiency, they were also very good, making them rare and excellent pieces.

Therefore, Suzumiya Yui has no immediate plans to find the next Twelve Demon Moons, mainly because she doesn't have a clear target.

Kaedehara Manyo is indeed a good candidate, but as far as he knows, Kaedehara Manyo has now been taken in by the Hokuto Southern Cross fleet and has left Inazuma.

It seems that even if the original plot is changed, he still can't escape the fate of becoming a "weather forecaster".
