In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Now, she has achieved her goal. Not only has she made Ryou familiar with the moves that General Raiden often uses, but she has also managed to play a trick on him.

As expected, this scumbag fox is scumbag no matter where she is; even someone as strong as Suzumiya Yuu couldn't avoid being tricked by her.

Suzumiya Yu was also at a loss, since defeating the Raiden General would require the help of Yae no Miko, and even if she wanted to turn her into a demon, she didn't know if her blood would have any effect on the divine servants.

Chapter 104 Before the Final Battle

"How does it feel? I think my design is pretty good, right?" Yae no Miko couldn't help but ask as Suzumiya Yu, who was looking annoyed, walked over.

As she asked the question, she couldn't help but chuckle, which made Suzumiya Yu even more annoyed.

"Don't tell me you can defeat General Thunder just like that." Ryou Miyako had no mood to play along with her. Although this anti-General Thunder training was indeed a bit abnormal, it was absolutely impossible to defeat General Thunder just like that.

"Of course it's not that simple. I designed this Anti-Lightning General training for you just to let you get familiar with her abilities in advance. As for whether you can defeat her, it still depends on your performance on the spot."

After saying that, Yae no Miko took out a jade-like object from her pocket. It was pink in color and probably something a young girl would like.

"This is a protective charm from Narukami Taisha Shrine. It's always been very effective and I specially kept one for you. There's nothing else I can do to help you, so this is all I can give you."

"You can take it out when you encounter a crisis, and maybe the danger will be resolved."

Suzumiya Yu accepted the protective charm from Yae no Miko, naturally knowing its purpose.

If Yae no Miko wishes, she can appear by the side of the guardian at any time, even in an alternative, independent space like the Pure Land of One Heart.

"Alright, hurry up and get ready. The moment of the decisive battle is coming soon, so don't feel pressured."

......

"Lord Coral Palace, I have a letter here specifically for you."

Inside the Coral Palace, Xin Hai, who was lost in thought, was suddenly startled awake by a familiar voice.

Looking up, I saw Goro, holding a letter that looked very important.

Did the messenger say who it was?

"No, he only said that the person who wrote the letter was your friend."

Xin Hai took the envelope, opened it, and looked at it carefully. After reading the contents, she immediately stood up from her chair, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"Goro, give the order to all units to prepare. We will launch an attack on Kannazuka in two days."

......

Inside a cave on Narukami Island, a young boy was frantically wielding a blade, occasionally throwing in some sword techniques, but they looked quite clumsy.

That was Hiroichi. He had been brought here by Ryouji Yu for more than two months. During this time, he had been receiving swordsmanship instruction from Uya and Udagawa and had basically no opportunity to go out.

Therefore, he did not know that the two people in front of him were Muzan Kibutsuji's subordinates, nor did he know that Yui Suzumiya was Muzan Kibutsuji himself.

"However, with proper training, his swordsmanship talent might not be inferior to ours," Wu Ye commented to Hong Yi, who was observing from a distance.

"I wonder where Muzan-sama found this little genius. It would be even better if he had the Eye of God, but unfortunately he doesn't." Utagawa nodded in agreement.

Perhaps even Suzumiya Yuu didn't expect that this little guy who used to pester him all day long and call him big brother would actually be a rare swordsmanship genius.

In just over a month, he had completely mastered one set of sword techniques. He is now learning the second set, which is why his skills appear rather clumsy.

The most obvious improvement was in his physical fitness; a child who was only twelve years old could swing a knife continuously for two hours.

"Instead of that, it seems that Lord Muzan has given you a mission, which is to assist the resistance army in fighting against the Shogunate's army?"

Not long ago, Suzumiya Yu gave Wuye an order to assist the resistance against the shogunate army, while Udagawa stayed behind to look after Koichi.

Thomas and Kujo Sara cannot leave the magistrates of the yamen and the magistrate of the territories, while Rosalyn has been transferred to keep an eye on Yae no Miko. Although a cooperation agreement has been reached with her, it is always better to be cautious.

......

On this day, the sky over Narukami Island was covered with dark clouds. There was no thunder or rain yet, but the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

In a room of the Kamisato residence, Suzumiya Yu, who had recently engaged in a fierce battle with Kamisato Ayaka, got dressed.

He turned to look at Ayaka Kamisato, who was exhausted on the bed, and watched her quietly for a while before leaving the room.

Ayato Kamisato is not at home today because the rebels suddenly launched an attack on Kannazuka. Kujo Sara immediately led his troops to resist them upon hearing the news.

As the head of the guild, Ayato Kamisato needed to go to the city to handle some matters, as this was of great importance. If the Kujo Jinya was breached, the resistance army would have to attack Narukami Island.

In order to defend against the sudden attack by the rebels, Kujo Sara took away almost the entire force of the Tenryo Magistrate and the Shogunate. This was something Suzumiya Yuu had specifically ordered her to do, and she had the right to do so.

Inazuma Castle is now incredibly empty, with less than a tenth of its usual number of guards. Even if you stroll down the street, you won't see a single patrolling guard.

There wasn't a single pedestrian on the street, and even the shops on both sides of the road were closed today, as if they were creating the best opportunity for Suzumiya Yu.

Thus, Suzumiya Yu arrived at the castle tower without any hindrance, where he finally saw the shogunate's guards.

"This is the castle tower, a heavily guarded area! Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter! Please present your identification token!"

As soon as I stepped onto the steps in front of the castle tower's main gate, the guards standing on either side of the gate came up with their weapons.

It was clear that because of the unusual circumstances today, the guards were much more cautious than usual, and the slightest disturbance would make them tremble with fear.

Liang Gongyou looked up at the two guards, and the next second, a cold light flashed, and they fell to the ground without warning, their life force completely dissipating in an instant.

After that, several more guards tried to stop Liang Gongyu, but he easily defeated them all.

Even if a holder of the Eye of God appears, it cannot change this one-sided situation; instead, it becomes a considerable amount of system points.

And so, Suzumiya Yu fought his way to the deepest part of the castle tower. After dealing with the last obstacle, he gently pushed open the tower door and went inside.

This was his first time entering the castle tower, and his third time facing General Raiden.

The first two times, due to special circumstances, he only had a brief encounter with General Thunder, but this time, they must decide the victor.

Moreover, this near-world-class duel will directly determine the future development of Inazuma.

Chapter 105 Facing the Incarnation of Lightning

In the deserted first-floor lobby, Suzumiya Yu activated the Compass, using it in conjunction with the Transparent World to maximize her ability to sense danger.

The surrounding silence was unsettling. Suzumiya Yui walked forward step by step, when suddenly, a familiar sense of oppression washed over her.

A radiant eye of lightning appeared behind her, followed by a katana imbued with destructive power that slashed straight at Suzumiya Yu.

The oppressive feeling of death made every cell in Ryoko Yu's body tremble. He gritted his teeth and then threw a punch behind him.

"Destruction Kill - Annihilation Style!"

Fist clashed with blade, and the next second, two terrifying energies, blue and purple, burst forth in the air, instantly shattering the glass around the hall and even cracking the floor beneath their feet.

Suzumiya Yu's punch neutralized most of the energy on the blade, but a small portion remained.

Sensing danger, he immediately dodged to the side, but still lost an arm.

A burning pain shot through the area where my arm had been severed. What should have been an injury that healed instantly was now completely unresponsive.

Even though his strength has been significantly enhanced due to the suppression of cell regeneration, for Ryou Miyako, Musou's slash can still pose a fatal threat to him. Losing an arm is the limit he can currently achieve.

In contrast, General Thunder not only escaped unharmed, but also landed smoothly, with the oppressive aura of a god emanating from her body.

A few drops of cold sweat slid down Liang Gongyou's forehead. He was desperately trying to break down the corrosive lightning element in his wound. Losing an arm would greatly affect his combat ability, so he had to recover as soon as possible.

Moreover, he hadn't even seen the real Thunder General yet; the one in front of him was just a puppet.

"Never before in history has anyone dared to break into the castle tower so brazenly, killing all the guards along the way, and even maintaining the ability to fight after taking a blow from me. You are truly exceeding my expectations."

The lightning element on the blade gradually dissipated, but the Thunder General's aura did not diminish.

"So, I've become the first person in history to do this? Shouldn't I be proud of it?" Enduring the excruciating pain, Ryoujiro forced himself to stand. He had already decomposed some of the lightning element, and his arm was slowly recovering, though at a very slow pace.

"Whether I'm proud of it or not is not something I should care about, but I know that you have to pay the price for it."

"Really? So, is it you who wants me to pay the price, or is it she who wants me to pay the price? I'm really curious about that."

Upon hearing this, General Thunder's expression underwent a subtle change.

How did you know about her?

Only a handful of people knew that he was a puppet and that the real Thunder General resided within his Pure Land. Even the other six gods who were also among the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm were unaware of this.

Therefore, General Raiden was very curious about how someone like Suzumiya Yu, who had only started to rise to prominence a few years ago, knew about these things.

"Don't forget, besides the Shogunate and the Sangoku-no-Miya, Inazuma also has the Narukami Taisha Shrine." Of course, Suzumiya Yu couldn't tell Raiden-shogun that he was a transmigrator, so he pointed the finger at Yae no Miko.

"So that's how it is. It was her who provided the help? But even so, do you really think you can defeat her all by yourself?"

"This is none of your business. She should be awake now, right? If that's the case, why won't you let me see her?"

With his severed arm fully healed, Ryou Miyabi had no intention of wasting time with Raiden General here. His real target was Raiden, who was dormant within him.

As soon as he finished speaking, General Thunder seemed to receive some kind of instruction. She closed her eyes, and the whole world began to shatter in the next second until it finally turned into darkness.

Nothing could be perceived around him; there was nothing but emptiness. Suzumiya Yu stood there in the darkness for a moment, and then a new world appeared before his eyes.

The world's base color is blood red, surrounded by dilapidated torii gates, with a huge stone platform beneath one's feet, and below the platform lies a bottomless abyss of despair.

Suzumiya Yu's gaze was fixed ahead, where Rai, who had been in a meditative state, had awakened. She slowly opened her eyes, then raised her head, and her suspended body landed on the ground.

This was her first time meeting Suzumiya Yu face-to-face. Before this, she had only learned about him through the general's first-person perspective.

A ruthless and decisive warrior with extremely high martial arts skills, but his methods were too extreme, plunging Narukami Island into a two-year period of panic.

If it weren't for her own reasons, Lei Yingdian would probably have already challenged Suzumiya Yu to a duel, but the General wouldn't do that, because she would only follow Lei Yingdian's will to execute Eternity.

She will not interfere in anything that is unrelated to eternity or does not threaten eternity.

"Let me think, what exactly brought you to me?" Lei Yingdong summoned Nagikusa Inahi from the void, a weapon she had used since the Demon God War.

"Is your foolish courage to protect those who have lost their will, or... is it that your true intention is to pay homage to me?"

The question was the same as in the game. Compared to the general outside, Lei Yingdian did not exude a strong sense of oppression, but Liang Gongyou knew very well that her strength was far greater than that of the general.

You should know what's going on outside, right?

"Of course, I know some things about you too."

"In that case, do you think I would come to you to protect those people?"

Instead of directly answering Kage's question, Ryoumi asked her a question in return, revealing the answer to the question.

Yui Suzumiya, who has always lived in darkness, would never come to the Shadow to protect those people; he did so purely for his own purposes.

"Then, what is your purpose in coming to see me?" Ying asked again. Since Suzumiya Yu came to see her, there must be a purpose.
