He changed Tiwat

The "woman" reached out and grasped the "Immaculate Flower" floating beside her, then suddenly exerted force and crushed the magical artifact.

A biting wind suddenly rose, and everyone in the hall could see that the place where the "lady" stood had turned into a huge cocoon of ice!

Those outside the barrier were unaware that the temperature inside had also dropped significantly. Although it was still early autumn in Inazuma, Ying felt a coldness reminiscent of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain—even with her constitution, she couldn't endure such extreme cold for an extended period.

Ying, with her intuition, came up with a solution: "We must quickly shatter that ice cocoon!"

The "Thunder Shadow Sword" and the "Starfall Sword" were hurled at the icy cocoon enveloping the "Lady" as if they were free.

A cocoon is formed to protect the fragile larva inside. By breaking the cocoon before the larva can emerge, the larva inside becomes vulnerable.

Ying's strategy was undoubtedly correct, but her attack was in vain - the "Lady's" ice cocoon was not an ordinary ice element spell, but a power bestowed upon her by the Winter Queen, and its defensive power was comparable to the Geo God's Jade Shield.

To destroy this icy cocoon, Thor, who is also one of the "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World," would have to intervene.

Moreover... even if the ice cocoon is destroyed, it will only help her "break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly" faster.

Unlike the other fools who use the Evil Eye, for the "Lady," the Evil Eye is more accurately described as a tool for torture than a weapon for fighting.

It is an object designed to suppress the raging fire that devours everything, a shackle used to restrain the true power of the "Lady".

Inside the ice cocoon, the "lady" closed her eyes, recalling her experience when she first obtained this evil eye.

"You are truly incredible. To withstand such power with a human body. Although you claim to have shed all your tears and blood, you have only filled your body with fire... Even though you are already covered in wounds, only molten iron-like flames can flow from your wounds and the corners of your eyes."

"It seems we've strayed from the topic. I came following the smoke signals to propose a deal... that His Majesty's grace might extinguish the fire that gnaws at you. What do you say?"

The first Fool bestowed power upon a girl whose life force was nearly exhausted, and through "delusion," she saw the boundary between a defiled past and a pure future...

“I understand. Let solid ice replace my erased past and extinguish the ever-burning fire. Let the silent ice wash away the black filth, the world's pain, the sinful people and the ‘beasts’.”

"My purpose is the same as yours, that of your queen: to cleanse the world of its sources of distortion: the short-sighted and foolish gods, the filthy and dark abyss. Whatever it may be, let me be the instrument to achieve our goals."

That was the reply from the "Witch of Flame" at that time.

But in reality, the pale, pure flame still burned fiercely in her heart.

Now, she must once again unleash the pale fire burning within her.

"Because even though I'm dressed in white, my whole body is already covered in the oil and ash of the dead that can never be washed off."

The icy cocoon was melted by the intense fire inside.

Amidst the flames, Rosaline Cruzshika Loehfat, the "Flame Witch" who struck fear into all of Mondstadt five hundred years ago, reappears in the world.

Chapter 190 Rekindling Hatred, Frost Destroys the Crimson Lotus [4k]

The icy cocoon shattered with a deafening roar, unleashing a violent ice storm.

Ying, who had been trying to break free of the ice cocoon, was unable to dodge due to the close proximity and was hit squarely by a huge shard of ice. She was sent flying more than ten meters away and rolled several times after landing due to inertia. It looked very painful.

"fluorescent!"

Seeing that Ying was injured, Paimon was extremely anxious. For a moment, he even forgot about the general's barrier and rushed into it without thinking.

However, how could her little head possibly break through the divine barrier set up by the general?

Paimon was bounced back by the barrier, tumbling several times in the air, dizzy and disoriented. Fortunately, the general's barrier was only for blocking and did not contain any harmful spells; otherwise, Paimon's injuries would probably have been no less severe than Ying's.

Inside the barrier, Ying struggled to get up again, but as soon as she stood up, she swayed and almost fell down again.

The lady's move to detonate the icy cocoon from the inside was completely unexpected.

She had assumed that even if the "lady" emerged from her cocoon, it would at most create a small opening in the ice cocoon—what larva would cause its own cocoon to explode? The armored pupa would only harden, not explode!

Moreover, the power of that explosion was truly considerable.

Judging from Ying's perception, this was equivalent to being hit by Klee's "Bouncy Bomb" at close range, the kind of bomb that could make the fish in Starfall Lake float belly-up and make Jean capture Klee and lock her up in solitary confinement for a month.

The only difference is that Klee's bomb is "fire," while the "Lady's" bomb is "ice."

Ying's delicate skin now had several bruises, her clothes and skirt were torn to shreds by the frost, her beautiful golden hair was covered with frost, and her legs were shivering from the cold. She looked quite miserable.

Someone else probably wouldn't be able to stand up, but Ying is a traveler who has crossed many worlds, and such injuries cannot defeat her.

"Are you shivering? Is it because of the extreme cold, or fear?" A mocking voice came from not far away; it was "Lady".

Ying frowned, but did not refute. Instead, she gripped the bladeless sword tightly and regrouped.

A flash of red caught her eye—it was a fiery red crystal butterfly made of flames.

The "Red Lotus Butterfly" of the "Lady".

Her gaze followed the fiery butterfly to the center of the arena, where what had once been an ice cocoon had been.

Countless Flame Crystal Butterflies have gathered there, resembling a "beehive" made of butterflies.

Then, the "hive" burst into flames, and a fiery red figure emerged from it.

Crimson lotus butterflies fluttered and danced around the fiery red figure, like a swarm of bees offering a dance in respect to their queen.

Ying saw the "lady" who had "emerged from her cocoon and become a butterfly".

Due to her Mondstadt heritage, "Lady" is quite tall, at least 1.8 meters, while Luminosity's height is only about chest-high. However, "Lady" has now become a giant nearly three meters tall, and Luminosity has to look up to see her face clearly.

The "ladies'" clothing also changed.

The "uniform" of the Winter Solstice Executive was originally a white cloak symbolizing the immaculate snow. However, the climate in Inazuma is not like that of Winter Solstice, so the "lady" could not wear such a thick cloak and changed into a white evening dress.

Now, her white dress has been stained red with blood and fire, turning into a long, fiery gown, and the cape behind her has become four flaming butterfly wings... This look has transcended the realm of beauty and ugliness, and has completely become an "alien" resembling a "humanoid butterfly".

What has changed is also the "lady's" face.

The "Lady" had always worn the "mourning mask," a symbol of the Fools, which covered the right half of her face. However, even with only the left half of her face visible, one could still appreciate the graceful demeanor and mature charm of this beautiful executive.

But now the "lady's" entire face is covered in flames, and only a charred mess can be seen—this is the distorted makeup that the accumulated embers of the long years after breaking through the seal of the Evil Eye Cream have painted on her.

The ceaseless flames of karma had long since burned away her beautiful appearance.

Or perhaps she was originally one with the flames, and even the flames flowing in her veins were liquid flames?

The lady gently raised her hands.

As she moved, the "Red Lotus Butterflies" that had been fluttering around her were summoned and, like moths, swarmed toward her charred face, eventually transforming into a giant butterfly mask that covered her entire face.

This is her "witch hat".

The "Flame Witch," who dreamed of burning away all the demons in the world, once wore a pointed witch's hat, a common accessory among witches.

When she was studying, the wide brim of the witch's hat could shield her from the awe and fear in people's eyes and shut out the clutter around her.

During battle, the wide brim of the witch's hat prevented her from watching the monsters being devoured by flames turn to ash in a frenzy.

Later, the brim of her hat was used to cover her face, which had been scorched and broken by smoke and flames...

It wasn't until she became the executor of the Winter Queen that she removed the witch's hat and bid farewell to the identity of "witch".

Now, she has once again put on the "witch's hat" made of "red lotus butterflies" on her face.

The eyes covered by this butterfly-shaped mask have actually lost their sight.

It doesn't matter if she can't see with her eyes. The witch named Rosalyn has become accustomed to deconstructing everything in the world with the vision of the elements. Now she is the purest red lotus karmic fire, the embodiment of the fire element.

In the elemental vision, the petite blonde traveler has been locked onto.

"The pale fire has melted the solid ice; witness my torment. I will burn your soul to ashes in the flames of sin and punishment!"

Along with this declaration came a long whip made of flames—"Blazing Extinction".

"Grit your teeth!"

A whip of fire, tens of meters long, swept towards Ying's body.

Ying's body was still frozen and her movements were not very agile, but she had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Wind Vortex Sword!"

With a clench of her left hand, Ying generated a vortex of wind from her palm, like a turbine engine, propelling her into the air and allowing her to dodge the "lady's" long whip.

But this whip was no ordinary whip. Yingren realized something was wrong in mid-air—the whip was actually made of burning "red lotus butterflies" connected end to end. When gathered, it was a ball of fire; when scattered, it was a sky full of stars.

The flaming whip suddenly exploded, and the "Red Lotus Butterflies," as if alive, chased after the Firefly.

Ying changed direction several times with the "Wind Vortex Sword" and parried left and right with her longsword, but she couldn't withstand the sheer number of "Red Lotus Butterflies." Several of them still managed to break through her defenses and inflict damage on her.

When she landed, she already had many scorch marks on her body.

"Ugh..." The burns made Ying grit her teeth, almost making a sound, but she stubbornly refused to show weakness.

"Burning...that nostalgic pain...can you feel it too?"

The lady understood Ying's pain perfectly—after all, she was currently enduring the agony of being burned by flames every moment.

This pain brought her joy, and it drove her to madness.

"It won't stop no matter how much it hurts!"

The "lady" roared and flapped the butterfly wings on her back, releasing her "scorched earth".

Countless "Red Lotus Butterflies" scattered from her body, leaving scorched earth in their wake.

The tatami floor in the main hall instantly turned to ashes, and the marble beneath it was scorched to a charcoal color by the flames. If it weren't for the general's barrier, the "lady's" move would probably have turned all the civil officials in the hall into roasted meat skewers as well.

However, while the barrier protected the onlookers outside, it could not protect those inside.

Besides Ying, there was also General Lei Dian acting as the "referee" on site.

The "Lady's" indiscriminate ultimate move even included General Thunder in its attack range.

The general snorted coldly, raised his left arm, palm facing forward, and made the "Abhaya Mudra" (gesture of fearlessness).

A purple arm formed from lightning suddenly extended from behind her, moving in sync with her left hand, also performing the "Abhaya Mudra" (gesture of fearlessness).

Within the purple palm, an evil eye slowly opened.

"The bestowal of fearlessness" means giving fearlessness to all beings. This mudra can remove all kinds of fears from all beings, instantly extinguishing love and hatred, and can save them from the calamities of water and fire.

Suddenly, a heavy, rectangular arm armor appeared on the general's left arm.

In Inazuma, this type of arm armor is called "Ōsode," a shield used to protect the body and defend against arrows when facing enemies. The shogun used this "Ōsode" to block the "Lady's" flames.

The flames that should have burned everything were met with a high wall before the general's "large sleeves," unable to advance an inch.

The general's purple eyes stared blankly at the "lady's" back.

Just that one glance made the "lady" feel like she had a thorn in her side, and she quickly stopped "burning the scorched earth".

She had indeed intended to test General Thunder with that move, but the warning in his eyes made her realize that if she continued to overstep her bounds, she should be prepared to face the counterattack of "The Unthinking Blade".

Well, it doesn't matter if we can't test the general's true strength; as long as we can burn that traveler to death, that's enough.

In her elemental vision, the humanoid figure representing Luminosity was completely covered by fire elements, while to onlookers outside the barrier, Luminosity's current form was a carbonized wreckage with its arms crossed in a defensive posture.

And the remains were still being burned by flames, as if even in death they were being scorched by hellfire, unable to find peace.

"General, aren't you going to declare me victorious?"

The "lady" raised her head and looked at General Thunder.

The general remained unmoved and continued to remain silent.

The silence gave the "lady" a sense of foreboding.

The carbonized humanoid suddenly cracked open, and a white meteor burst out from it.

Just as the "scorching earth" was about to hit her, Ying used the "skipping class" move she developed during the "Anti-Lightning General Special Training" - "Rock Tide Layered Peaks · Majestic Green Cliffs"!

The goddess had told her not to use her elemental power to create a shield to block lightning, but Ying was not the kind of obedient girl who would listen to reason.

If you won't let me build a "shield," surely I can wear an "insulating cover," right? You can't just not let people wear clothes!

She wrapped her body in rock element, forming a fireproof layer. The "Lady" only scorched the rock layer covering her body; the inner Firegirl remained completely unharmed. Moreover, the continued burning of the outer flames caused the "Lady" to misjudge the situation.

Ying seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed her deadly "Thunder Shadow Sword: Wild Thunder".

Three swift lightning bolts struck the "lady's" back in quick succession, causing a violent explosion.

Elemental reaction, overload.

In Ying's elemental vision, the "Lady's" current form is no different from a fire abyss mage, practically covered in flames. While we haven't yet mastered water element in Fontainebleau, lightning element is definitely effective at breaking fire shields!

The "Lady's" tall body was torn to pieces in the overloaded explosion, but Ying sensed something amiss in the fragmented, fiery body—the fire element, though weakened, had not been annihilated.

Ying made a quick decision and retreated.

At the same time, the shattered remains of the "lady" transformed into several fire tornadoes, attacking the spot where Ying had just been standing. If Ying had retreated any later, she might have been burned to a crisp.

The fiery tornadoes coalesced again, transforming back into the "Fire Witch" who burned everything in her path, standing in the center of the scene.
