Chapter 102
It wasn't just the Head of the Kujou Clan who had this thought; the Kanjō Bugyō's side felt the same way, and even the Kamisato siblings of the Yashiro Commission's family were considering how to get along with the Rock King who was about to become the new Thunder God.
Unlike the Tri-Commission, the people of Inazuma were filled with uncertainty about the future.
Could a foreign god love them more than their own? Just like Head of the Kujou Clan said, the possibility of that is too low!
What if this foreign god isn't as kind to them as Thor was before? Can they resist?
They glanced at the equally shocked rebel prisoners. This was the consequence of rebelling against the gods. They had rebelled against their own Thor, but what about the Rock King, who was even more powerful than Thor?
Moreover, they themselves agreed to let Thor fight the Rock King. After all, the Rock Royal Capital had provoked him so much, how could Thor not accept the challenge? And as Thor said, the only bargaining chip he could use to keep the foreign god was himself, who was also a god of his own country. This was a condition that Thor himself proposed.
Just this morning, they were cheering excitedly because the rebels surrendered. How did things turn out like this so soon?
The sadness of the Inazuma people spread and even overflowed, so much so that the resistance soldiers kneeling beside them could feel this visible sorrow. However, they were not so worried. If the Geo King of Liyue came to rule Inazuma, even if the resistance soldiers were in a bad situation, could it be worse than their current situation?
They have no room left to descend!
Raiden Ei and Li Yue, who were standing in the center of the square, also felt this sadness.
"Hey, aren't you going to say something?"
Li Yue looked at Raiden Ei beside her.
"No need, I trust my judgment."
Ying stared at Li Yue. In her opinion, the fact that Li Yue could gain genuine recognition meant that he possessed truly recognized talent. The fact that Morax recognized him and even stepped down to let him take the throne further proved his talent. Since he could be the Rock King, why couldn't he be the Thor?
Moreover, if Li Yue plays Thor, isn't that the same as actually playing Thor? Absolutely no problem!
"Don't worry, no matter what, I support you."
The shadow was unwavering.
Li Yue could feel Ying's unwavering resolve. There was nothing she could do; this simpleton had never tried to hide his true feelings!
"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll get to work."
"You know Inazuma's situation better than I do. You can do whatever you want to him. I trust you."
Ying believed in Li Yue, who was truly believed in!
Since that's what they've said, Li Yue didn't stand on ceremony. Whether it's one sheep or two, it's all the same, so she might as well just herd them all together.
Li Yue walked directly to the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue. Under everyone's gaze, he arrived at the spot where Thor had stood before. Shadow followed closely behind him, standing to his left rear. Upon seeing this, the Yae Miko ran to Li Yue's right rear, instantly flanking Shadow on either side.
Seeing the Yae Miko suddenly arrive, Ying asked in confusion.
"Yae Miko, what brings you here?"
"Just like you, I've become a member of Lord Geo Archon."
The Yae Miko replied with a grin.
"What?"
Ying was stunned.
"Before Lord Geo Archon arrived, I had already revealed my identity to Lord Geo Archon and made a contract with Lord Geo Archon, asking him to defeat you. Now that Lord Geo Archon has fulfilled his promise, I naturally have to complete the contract as well."
"You..."
Ying paused for a moment, but then chose to agree.
"That's fine too."
Anyway, the Yae Miko was truly guiding her before, and now it's truly focused on Li Yue. It wouldn't be a problem to have her become Li Yue's subordinate, since I'm already Li Yue's right-hand woman.
Li Yue ignored the Narukami group behind him and looked down at the Inazuma people. After he stepped up, they all looked at him, the new ruler who was about to rise above them.
"Although the situation has changed somewhat quickly, according to the contract, from now on, I am your Thor."
Li Yue crossed her arms over her chest.
"Although you may be a little unwilling, it's up to me."
Even if the heavens fall, the contract must be fulfilled!
The Geo God is the God of Contracts, and he values contracts above all else. The Inazuma people all know this, and they understand that they cannot change the fact that the gods have changed. Now they just want to know where they will go next.
"However, considering that the title of Raiden Shogun is more suitable for the original one, although I am now in the position of Thunder God, I will not take away the title of Raiden Shogun. To distinguish myself from the Raiden Shogun, you can call me His Lord Tenno!"
The Emperor? What does that mean? Does it have any special significance?
The Inazuma all looked at Li Yue with confusion, but Li Yue showed no intention of explaining.
Li Yue glanced at everyone present.
"Since I'm going to be Thor, then I need to emphasize my principles as a god!"
"I only know three things as Thor!"
Li Yue raised her right hand.
"Fair! Fair! It's all about fucking fairness!"
The Inazuma people present were met with the same shock as the Liyue people had felt back then.
"Although I haven't been in Inazuma for long, I've already gained some understanding of the Inazuma. Inazuma is full of injustice right now, so I need to settle scores with some people!"
Upon hearing Li Yue's words, the Inazuma members immediately tensed up.
Sure enough, the new Thor is about to eliminate his rivals as soon as he takes office!
"First and foremost, there is Raiden Shogun, who committed a foolish crime!"
"Well?"
I was completely taken aback that I would be the first to be targeted by Raiden Ei.
169. All three purists were executed.
"Raiden Shogun, during his tenure, listened to slander and issued the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree, causing the people of Inazuma to suffer from water and heat. This is extremely irresponsible towards the people of Inazuma!"
The first person Li Yue announced to be punished was Raiden Shogun, and he directly stated Raiden Shogun's crimes. This action shocked all the Inazuma people present, and even Raiden Ei himself was surprised.
She truly didn't expect Li Yue to put her first.
However, what Li Yue said was also what Zhen had said before, and it was indeed a crime she committed during her tenure.
"Raiden Shogun, do you plead guilty?"
In front of Inazuma, Li Yue looked at Raiden Ei.
"I plead guilty."
Raiden Ei did not refute at all and directly confessed, which shocked Inazuma. He confessed too readily.
Seeing Raiden Ei readily admit his guilt, Li Yue nodded in agreement.
"However, considering that during his reign he eliminated the threat of foreign monsters and defeated foreign Demon God for Inazuma, saving the people of Inazuma from disaster and protecting the lives of countless Inazuma people, his merits and demerits cancel each other out!"
The expected punishment did not come; Li Yue directly used Raiden Shogun's past merits in protecting the Inazuma Islands to offset her crime.
For the Inazuma of the past, they could do without the Tri-Commission, but they absolutely could not do without the Raiden Shogun. If it weren't for the Raiden Ei slaying the giant serpent and shooting the Thunder Bird, Inazuma would have become a living hell. So, although the Raiden Ei brought a lot of suffering to the Inazuma people because of his subsequent stupidity, at least the merits and demerits canceled each other out, or even the merits outweighed the demerits.
Li Yue's words were also acknowledged by the Inazuma people. It was good that the Five-Star Emperor did not deny the Raiden Shogun's contribution to protecting the Inazuma Islands.
"Next up is Inazuma Tri-Commission, who committed treason!"
After the general finished his trial, the next step was to address the three major principles.
Upon hearing Li Yue's words, the three chief ministers were all stunned. Treason?!
"Tri-Commission, come out!"
Li Yue looked at the line of the Tri-Commission, and Raiden Ei also looked over, giving them a death stare!
The Tri-Commission, who were being stared at by Raiden Ei, quickly stepped forward.
"I'm innocent, Your Lord Tenno!"
The Head of the Kujou Clan was the first to kneel down, and then immediately began to wail.
"The Tenryou Commission is utterly loyal to the Her Excellency, and has always served Her Excellency, ensuring the stability of the Inazuma Islands. He has never betrayed the country!"
"I'm innocent, Your Lord Tenno!"
The head of the Hiiragi clan also knelt down.
"The Kanjō Bugyō has always been loyal to the Her Excellency, managing the business and finances for Inazuma, and has never betrayed the country!"
The Kamisato siblings also knelt on the ground.
"The Yashiro Commission has always performed the duties of a priest and has never had any thoughts of treason. I beg Your Lord Tenno to investigate!"
As the head of the family Kamisato Ayato did not wail, but spoke very seriously.
"So, you all believe you haven't committed treason?"
"No, Your Lord Tenno!"
"Please investigate, Your Lord Tenno."
"Since you all believe you are innocent, then let me explain one by one."
Li Yue slowly walked up to the head of the Hiiragi clan.
"Hiiragi Shinsuke, the head of the Hiiragi clan, is in charge of the Kanjō Bugyō. For many years, he has been responsible for Inazuma's diplomacy, finances, and commerce. However, for his own selfish Fatui, he colluded with the Snezhnaya Fojin Clan to cheat the Raiden Prize and tricked the Raiden Shogun into issuing Sakoku Decree, severing commercial ties with other countries. Subsequently, in his official capacity Kanjō Bugyō, he monopolized commerce, exploited merchants, and caused them to live a hard life."
"Because of your ideas, even the entire Inazuma people Inazuma, who rely on foreign trade for their livelihood, have had to live a hard life!"
"This!?"
The head of the Hiiragi clan stared wide-eyed in shock. Why? Why did this matter come to light?
Li Yue bypassed the head of the Hiiragi clan and came to the head of the Head of the Kujou Clan.
"Kujou Takayuki, the head of the Kujo clan, led the Tenryou Commission. However, for his own benefit, he agreed to a deal with the Snezhnaya Fatui. Using eternity as an excuse, he tricked Raiden Shogun into issuing the Sakoku Decree. He then used the Sakoku Decree to seek personal gain. You and the Fatui conducted experiments on the Delusion. Furthermore, the Sakoku Decree you issued led to the emergence of a rebel army, resulting in the needless deaths of the shogunate's soldiers on the battlefield."
"Not only that, you also ordered the Tenryou Commission to cover up the truth. The villagers on Yashima who were infected with the disease needed treatment, but you sank all the villagers to the bottom of the sea and killed them. The Mikage Furnace at Kannazuka exploded due to instability, but you covered up the truth and did not solve the problem, causing the crisis there to become more and more serious, and there was a risk of explosion at any time."
"You have killed far too many people!"
The Head of the Kujou Clan was also stunned. Just like the previous head of the Hiiragi clan, he never expected that the new Raijin would know these things!
Li Yue walked past him toward the Kamisato siblings.
"Kamisato Ayato, head of the Kamisato clan, is the head of the Shaka Yashiro Commission and commands the Shuumatsuban under his command. He was originally supposed to Yashiro Commission the Raiden Shogun, but after discovering the problems of the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjō Bugyō, he did not want to solve them internally, but instead wanted to use external forces to his advantage."
Don't say the documents couldn't be submitted. Does the head of the Shefeng Yashiro Commission among the three major magistrates not have a way to meet Raiden Shogun? You should know that the three major magistrates are completely equal in rank, only differing in the size of their power, there is no such thing as superior and subordinate.
Is this all the strategist Kamisato Ayato is capable of? Is he as wise as the strategist of Watatsumi Island?
Li Yue squatted down and looked at the Kamisato siblings.
"I've succeeded in persuading Raiden Shogun, so what do you all think now?"
"By the way, are you happy with the communication with the rebels?"
The Kamisato siblings fell silent.
Li Yue stood up, walked back to her original position, and spread her arms to the head of the Tri-Commission Ones.
"The three chief ministers are all extremely loyal subjects! Loyal subjects that are laughable!"
"Where is the evidence, Your Lord Tenno?!"
The Head of the Kujou Clan couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.
"Your Lord Tenno, you accuse us of treason, but do you have any evidence?"
"Even if it were you, you would need evidence to convict us..."
"Shadow, please make him shut up."
Boom--
Purple lightning descended from the sky and struck the head of the Kujo clan Head of the Kujou Clan directly, instantly turning him into a charred mess.
"Shadow, I just wanted him to shut up, I wasn't going to kill him."
Li Yue looked helpless and said to Ying.
"Ah?"
Ying paused for a moment.
"Isn't this a ruling?"
