Bleed Enough and It Won't Be Awkward (Continued)
The same logic applies: she's just an alternate version of someone from another world, so Kaguya wouldn't transfer her feelings. Now she's the Inazuma Imperial Advisor and the newly resurrected First Electro Archon, so she has to uphold the character's established role and stand on the side she should be on.
Seeing that all the main characters had arrived, Morax spoke:
"Cryo Archon, you've passed on the matter of Inazuma."
"Yes, it is all my fault for mismanagement that has led to this terrible mistake. I am willing to do my best to make amends, and I only ask that Your Electro Archon calm down for now and give me a chance."
"Then, in the name of the God of Contracts, I invite you two to enter into a contract under the witness of all the gods. First, by winter, you should hand over the sinners related to the Inazuma calamity and execute them in a public ceremony to console Inazuma for their sacrifices to date. Second, by winter, you should unconditionally support Inazuma's full recovery, without any shirking of responsibility or excuses. Third, by winter, you should fulfill Inazuma's other reasonable demands based on this grievance. If by winter you can fulfill the above demands, I, on behalf of all the gods, request that Beelzebul temporarily lay down his sword to observe the consequences. This is also the best solution for the gods and men of both nations, and even for the Seven Nations Seven Archons. What do you two think?"
"Yes, it is entirely up to His Majesty the Geo Archon! I and Shifu have made a pact to do everything in our power to make up for the losses suffered by Inazuma and His Majesty the Electro Archon God."
The Cryo Archon, looking like a half-ripe duckling, responded very obediently with his head bowed.
Then all eyes turned to Raiden Ei. Now, only the attitude of the parties involved can determine the final outcome of the event.
Raiden Ei stared coldly at the Cryo Archon, his murderous aura and divine power spreading silently.
The stench and agonizing screams of the Giant Serpent and magical beasts she had slain seemed to materialize under the aura of killing intent. It was as if one were in a battlefield of carnage; the relentless threat of death sent chills down the spines of most present, especially the Cryo Archon, who was directly in the line of fire.
After a while, Raiden Ei closed his eyes and his imposing aura subsided.
"What if she can't do it?"
"Cryo Archon and Winter cannot do this, or if they engage in any fraudulent behavior, then next time... the gods will arrange a battlefield for you, and guarantee that the Cryo Archon will be present to welcome the divine war."
Morax glanced at the Cryo Archon with a nonchalant look.
The Cryo Archon nodded humbly, not daring to provoke the Electro Archon any further, nor wanting to offend the gods any more.
Raiden Ei's expression was icy, and after a long silence, he slowly nodded.
"Okay, Morax, I believe you."
That's what she said.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, obliterating the Cryo Archon's avatar along with the Cryo Archon's throne platform.
"Boom!!!"
This move wasn't something Kaguya instructed beforehand; it was an impromptu performance by the Raiden Ei. However, it was executed very well, the emotion was spot-on. This wooden beauty could actually act quite well if she wanted to!
Thus concludes this process of sacrificing oneself in preparation for winter.
Kaguya clapped her hands with her folding fan, looked at the gods around her, a smile on her face, but she was not relaxed in her heart.
Yes, it's over, but it's only the first half.
The first half was about securing benefits for Inazuma, while the second half was about truly advancing Anqi Faction's plans.
This time, however, it's not the Anqi Faction are in charge; the script has been handed over to them. Now, let the gods take the initiative.
