The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter 92 This battle was inevitable; the time to fulfill the promise had arrived...

Ying knew a little about the lady; she was just an envoy who came in winter.

She and I shouldn't have had much interaction; even if we did, there should have been a Heavenly Commandery between us.

But... what was it that the Tenryo Magistrate was suppressed for?

Hmm, what decision did the general make?

Kujo Takayuki was imprisoned on the orders of the Shadow, but the charges... to be honest, she couldn't believe it when she was first released.

But mistakes will be punished, that's for sure.

What's more, when the evidence is conclusive?

"Ah, General, don't hesitate any longer, quickly give me the appropriate reward."

The woman stretched out a hand, asking the shadow for a reward.

If the doll's programming allows it, she will not hesitate to ask for the Heart of God in order to fulfill the Ice Queen's decree.

However...

"rude."

Ying coldly replied with this sentence, and then had no more intention of continuing to waste words with the lady.

She was not concerned with the reward the woman was asking for, especially given her attitude.

Although not as adept at maneuvering and commanding as her sister, Kage at least had the self-awareness of being a demon god.

Therefore, she could never listen to or acknowledge a weak mortal.

Time passed quietly, and Ying's indifference made the lady's actions seem overly offensive and awkward.

"Hmph, just a puppet, yet it's filled with contempt for humans? Ha, you and your creator are both arrogant and condescending. I loathe you!"

The woman, hands on her hips, uttered these arrogant words in a casual tone.

Anyone who truly understands the immense power of the god they are facing would likely not dare to speak in such a tone.

Was she too arrogant?

As a martial artist, Ying slightly turned his head and calmly observed this unfamiliar mortal.

His cold expression and hostile gaze made it seem as if he were her enemy.

Although it was strange, so strange that it made one wonder if there was something wrong with her thinking, Ying could sense the emotions this woman was expressing.

Extremely calm.

She was so calm that it seemed as if she simply thought it was only natural to say those words.

"You... hate me?"

"Hmm? Why would you ask..." Ying's initiative surprised the woman. "Ask me this? Do you hate you..."

According to the information she had obtained, the puppet in front of her, known as General Thunder, should theoretically have no self.

It should simply be about following instructions.

"Could it be that the god in the Pure Land of One Heart has inputted some new instructions?"

Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, the woman chose to speak frankly about what she was thinking.

Anyway, there's no one else here, and the doll in front of us... can't really be called a person.

Keeping the conversation going safely is also a way to ensure safety.

"Yes, I hate you, I hate all of you gods. Even that one hiding behind you... who claims to know the truth..."

The woman did not continue speaking.

She felt that there was no point in venting her emotions on this doll.

Because no matter what you do, it's impossible for it to reach the ears of that stubborn, self-imposed god.

Oh no, anyway, even if they didn't isolate themselves, they wouldn't listen to the prayers of mortals.

After all, gods are always so high and mighty, so self-important... The suffering of mortals is nothing to them...

"Tenri... such a curious tone, uttering such words with such a calm expression. You, a diplomatic envoy, are truly... well, never mind."

With his hands behind his back, Ying gestured for the woman to leave.

But her final words deeply moved the woman.

Why would a doll say something like that?

Could it be that this isn't a puppet? Has that stagnant god already left the Pure Land of One Heart?

If that's the case...

The lady was very surprised by the fact that Ying had left Yixin Pure Land, and for a moment she couldn't even think of what to do.

She turned around, feigning composure, then glanced back at the god's retreating figure.

"Hmph, so cowardly, so cold-blooded... yet they sit high on a divine throne. How ironic..."

She didn't say these words aloud; she only thought them silently in her heart.

"I will definitely complete the task assigned by the Ice Queen. Don't you dare run away before then, Lord Mikenami."

...

Outside the castle tower, dark clouds covered the sky, but no raindrops fell for a long time.

The woman slowly walked out, and her Fools immediately came to greet her, their eyes, hidden behind masks, revealing trust and fanaticism.

One of them, a lightning sorcerer carrying a lantern and dressed in purple, asked with a sinister smile:

"My lady, how was it? Did you enjoy your duel with Thor? Hahahaha..."

"Heh, enough nonsense." The woman didn't answer, but maintained her haughty expression, the smile at the corner of her mouth making her look even more charming and dangerous.

She tossed her cloak aside and prepared to leave, deciding to make plans for the future.

However, before they had gone far, they ran into Kujo Sara and his party who were returning from their pilgrimage.

On one side are the only remaining loyalists within the Heavenly Territory, and on the other side are the culprits who led to the arrest of the Heavenly Territory officials.

The moment the two sides met, the atmosphere was already incredibly tense.

Why are you here?

Kujo Sara coldly questioned her, and the samurai beside her drew their swords.

Even in front of the castle tower, these samurai could not hide the hatred in their hearts.

In response, the woman simply raised her head haughtily.

"What's it to you? You're just stray dogs who could be kicked out at any moment. If you don't obediently submit to your fate, are you going to bite people instead?"

The woman's choice of words was extremely aggressive; one could say it was a simple sentence.

It almost caused the samurai of the Tenryo magistrate's family to suffer a stroke.

Fortunately, these guys are kept in check by Kujo Sara, so they won't be provoked into violence by a few words.

Then, in a confused and bewildering way, he was dealt with by his own deity.

"What a vicious woman, madam... Are you deliberately trying to make an enemy of the Kujo family? I guarantee that once Raijin's protection is gone, that's when you'll pay the price."

"Ha ha ha, how ridiculous."

The woman sneered, then flung her cloak and approached Kujo Sara with a very forceful attitude, until she reached the woman she loathed.

"Get out of the way, you lackey of the gods. Otherwise you'll lose your life."

"You'll be the one who dies. Don't give me the chance, or I'll stake the honor of the Kujo family... I'll make you understand..."

"We'll see when the time comes. Hehehehehe!"

The woman swaggered away with her men, leaving behind only her arrogant and domineering back view, which was deeply etched in Kujo Sara's eyes.

She secretly vowed to make this woman pay the price...

However, before the time came for the enemy to pay the price, the rebels launched their final offensive.

Seeing the rebel army charging in from all directions, Kujo Sara, who had lost his command authority, could only retreat to the sidelines with the Kujo clan's samurai, waiting for the battle to unfold.

While she anxiously awaited the battle...

"Is that... Kiana? And Ying... They really did come."

Kujo Sara sighed, then ordered his men to leave quickly.

Next, she will keep her promise and do everything in her power to stop them from threatening the general...

The Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter 93: The Prologue to the Witch's Dance Drama

Is it coming...?

A familiar figure glided into view, the light emanating from the snow-white cloak like a falling meteor...

Not only Kujo Sara, who had already observed Kiana's arrival, but even the samurai watching from the sidelines were astonished by this spectacular sight.

"what is that?"

"Lord Kujo, what should we do..."

"Lord Kujo! That white figure... could it be?!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, Kiana landed steadily on the bricks in front of the castle tower.

'Snap!'

The floor, made of fine stone slabs, could not withstand her impact and gradually cracked.

As these cracking sounds erupted, many small pieces of stone were sent flying, splashing onto the warriors.

"Ouch!"

"hateful!"

"What...is this terrifying thing...?"
