Chapter 95

After leading the Shogunate Army to the main battlefield, Natsumi Beach, Kage took the lead, transforming into lightning and rushing into Yashima. Along the way, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and all the rebel soldiers within sight were struck by lightning. He then went alone to the sky above the rebel camp, wielding his sword and unleashing a large number of lightning strikes, instantly destroying the entire camp.

The rebel soldiers who were resting and training in the camp were all affected by the thunderstorm. General Gorou and strategist Sangonomiya Kokomi, who were also there, fell to the lightning.

The power of the gods was something ordinary people could not contend with, and the entire resistance was wiped out.

In the entire rebel camp, the vast majority of people had completely lost consciousness. Only a few were relatively less affected, but they were still seriously injured and lying on the ground, unable to move.

Sangonomiya Kokomi came out to get some fresh air and watch the sunset, so she was standing on the outer edge of the camp and suffered relatively minor injuries. Although she did not face the terrifying lightning strike directly, the overflowing lightning still left her covered in wounds.

She struggled to lift her head, lying on the ground with her head tilted back, looking towards the center of the camp. Behind her, the figure of the Thunder Ring appeared, holding a naginata and facing away from her. She recognized this figure at a glance; in her eyes, the ultimate person who could easily end this war, or rather, the ultimate god.

"Why Archon Meeting appearing...?"

This is not what she wanted. She knew that this war would have two outcomes: one was that Thor would stop the war with his sword, and the other was that Thor would stop the war with his words.

"Why? I tried my best to control it, why?"

In the center of the camp, Thor nodded in satisfaction as he watched all the rebels fall to the ground. He had said he would get rid of the rebels, and that meant his shogunate soldiers would no longer have to die in the war against them.

On the way here, Ying saw many red flowers by the roadside. They were called Blood Orchid. The reason they could grow so brightly was because they absorbed the blood from the ground. Countless people had died on the battlefield because of this war, but now, with Ying joining the war, all of this was finally over!

"Um?"

Having completed the suppression of the rebel camp, she heard a noise behind her, turned around, and looked at Sangonomiya Kokomi, who was lying on the ground looking up at her.

"Hmm? Are there still some that slipped through the net?"

Ying saw Shan Hu Gong Kokomi staring up at her, turned around, and walked towards Sangonomiya Kokomi with her naginata in her hand.

As he walked, the lightning rings behind him grew brighter and brighter, and Kokomi's heart filled with increasing despair.

Is Thor going to finish me off? In the end, will everyone, whether it's the rebels or myself, die at Thor's hands?

Just when Kokomi in despair, Thor walked directly through Sangonomiya Kokomi.

"Her Excellency!"

It turned out that Kujou Sara had brought the shogunate's soldiers. They ran forward, leaving trails in the sky as they followed their shadows. All they saw along the way were fallen rebel soldiers, and now they saw completely destroyed, dilapidated rebel camps scattered everywhere.

"This should be the rebels' headquarters. I've taken care of it all. The rest is up to you, Sara. You can do it, right?"

"Yes!"

Kujou Sara quickly responded.

"Saro will certainly fulfill the Her Excellency's request!"

"Well then, I'll head back now."

The lightning ring behind the shadow shone brightly, and then the entire person transformed into a bolt of lightning and entered the thundercloud in the sky, disappearing without a trace. After the shadow disappeared, the thundercloud also dissipated, leaving behind the ruins of the rebel camp surrounded by the Shogunate Army.

As for why Ying wasn't stabbed by Sangonomiya Kokomi, it's because she didn't know Sangonomiya Kokomi at all. She just thought the other party was an ordinary member of the resistance army, and it wasn't worth her stabbing him again.

When she destroyed the entire resistance camp, she only used lightning strikes, without even using Musou Isshin, let alone swinging her sword for an unknown soldier.

"Everyone, proceed into the camp to assess the situation!"

Kujou Sara gave the order, Shogunate Army quickly rushed into the camp, while Kujou Sara watched over Sangonomiya Kokomi from outside.

The rebel strategist who had caused her so much trouble on the battlefield was now in a terrible state.

"Sangonomiya, I never expected we would meet under these circumstances."

"I didn't expect the Her Excellency to show up at this time."

Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled bitterly. Her once gorgeous clothes now looked tattered, her hair was covered in charred soot, and her face also had burns from the electric shock.

"Your resistance against the general is over. It's all over. After taking you into custody, I will lead the Shogunate Army to attack the Watatsumi Island and wipe out all the resistance forces!"

"Your main force is all on Yashima, and they have all been wiped out by the general. The remaining people on Watatsumi Island are no match for us."

"General Kujo, I beg you to take me with you. There aren't many soldiers on Watatsumi Island. The ones on the mainland are mostly old people and children. I will make them surrender. Let's avoid any more unnecessary casualties."

Kokomi lay prostrate on the ground, kneeling before Kujou Sara.

Kujo glanced at Kokomi, then finally turned away.

"Take her with you to Watatsumi Island."

"Yes!"

Two soldiers walked over, lifted Kokomi off the ground, and followed behind Kujou Sara.

159. Shadow: I want to sleep with you!

With the main force of the resistance destroyed and Sangonomiya Kokomi captured, the defeat of Watatsumi Island was a foregone conclusion. Kage no longer needed to be concerned; he could be left to Kujou Sara.

Having dealt with the Shadow of the Rebel Camp, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and returned to Inazuma City.

She spent most of her time waiting for Kujou Sara to gather the Shogunate Army. Although she dealt with the rebels quickly, it still took a lot of time.

By the time Shadow returned to Inazuma City, the sun had just completely set, and night had fallen on the Teyvat continent.

Li Yue and his group of four had already returned to Narukami Island by boat. Komore Teahouse in Inazuma City, it appeared to be a tea room, but in reality, it was a stronghold of the Kamisato clan within Inazuma City. When the Kamisato clan carried out certain special activities, they would use this tea room as their base within Inazuma City.

After all, among the three major magistrates, the Kujo clan, which controls the Tenryou Commission, is located in Inazuma City, while the headquarters of the Kanjō Bugyō is located on Rishou Island. The Yashiro Commission, the weakest of the Tri-Commission, is closely related to Grand Narukami Shrine because it is in charge of the rituals. However, because of this close relationship with Grand Narukami Shrine, the Kamisato Estate is located below Grand Narukami Shrine, far from both Inazuma City and the Rishou Island. It is far away from both the military and economic centers.

Therefore, the Kamisato clan set up a base in Inazuma City to facilitate their activities, and the Komore Teahouse was that base.

However, this location has now been made public.

"Although the food was pretty good, to be honest, eating in a teahouse was not quite what I had imagined."

Li Yue sat in the main seat in the private room, looking at the Inazuma cuisine in front of her, and couldn't help but complain.

"Please forgive us, but if the people of Inazuma City see either your identity or that Raijin's familiar who is currently missing, it will cause a disturbance. After all, your identities are very noble to ordinary people in Inazuma. Therefore, in order to avoid such a disturbance, we can only ask you to dine in a place like this."

Yae, who had specifically requested to dine here, apologized from the side.

"No problem. I don't care about that. I live in a small courtyard in Liyue, and the main street of Liyue is right outside my door. There's no problem at all."

Li Yue waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem.

"I just feel that the name 'tea room' sounds a bit strange when paired with these foods."

"There's nothing we can do. Who told that the appearance of that unknown member of Thor's family would cause chaos?"

"Yae Miko, I heard you!"

The door to the side room was pushed open, and Ying walked in from outside. As soon as she entered, she glared at Yae Miko, and then looked at Li Yue.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I've taken care of things and am back."

"Oh? What did you resolve?"

The Yae Miko feigned curiosity and asked.

"I've taken care of the resistance."

Ying told the whole story without any attempt to hide anything.

The Kamisato siblings, who had been sitting silently to the side, sighed inwardly. So the resistance was indeed wiped out. Once the gods intervened, even the strongest strategist was useless. Unless the opponent possessed the power to fight against the gods, there was absolutely no chance of survival against the Thunder God, a god known for his martial prowess.

"According to what you said, in this way, no more shogunate soldiers will be sacrificed."

Ying looked at Li Yue, seemingly waiting for Li Yue's approval.

"Looks like you've gone to relieve your Thor's burden. As expected of Thor's servant, well done."

Li Yue nodded to Ying, expressing her appreciation.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Ying was not happy. Instead, she sighed as if she had put down a heavy burden. She walked to sit down opposite Li Yue. In this way, Li Yue sat in the main seat, Ying sat opposite Li Yue, Yae sat to Li Yue's left, and the Kamisato siblings sat to Li Yue's right. The five of them sat around the table in this manner.

The already small private room in the Komore Teahouse suddenly felt a bit cramped.

However, there was no way around it; the location was chosen by Yae. After all, Kage's current identity is that of a member of the Thunder God's family, and Yae was happy to cooperate with [Shin] in acting in front of Li Yue. Therefore, she naturally did not want Kage's identity to be exposed. Although dining at the Uyuu Pavilion was more upscale, wouldn't Kage's identity be exposed if he Uyuu Pavilion there?

Therefore, the small stronghold of the Kamisato clan is actually the best choice. It is located on the edge of Inazuma City by the sea, far from the bustling city center. Few people pass by, and since it is the Kamisato clan's stronghold, everyone here is one of their own and obeys orders. There is no need to worry about the identity being exposed after the Shadow arrives.

"This is?"

As Ying sat down, she saw the dessert placed right in front of her: a plate of Tricolor Dango and a bottle of dumpling milk.

"We saw it on our way here and thought it looked interesting, so we bought it on the spot."

Li Yue explained from the other side.

"After all, this is a dessert I've never had in Liyue, so I wanted to buy some to try, and it turned out to be quite good."

"Yes, it's really good."

Ying nodded affirmatively, then picked up a string of Tricolor Dango and started eating them. After chewing a dumpling twice, Ying nodded in satisfaction again.

"What's this?"

"Dumpling Milk, the owner said it's a new product recently launched, and it tastes really good."

The taste was indeed very good. Everyone present, including the Kamisato siblings, had tried it and all agreed with it.

"Is that so? I haven't been around Inazuma City for a while, so I'm not really clear on the current situation."

As Ying spoke, she picked up the dumpling milk and brought it to her lips to drink.

After taking a sip, Ying's eyes lit up, and she began to gulp down the entire bottle.

Even after finishing the drink, Ying still felt like she hadn't had enough.

"This dumpling milk is very good."

Sure enough, Ying really loves sweets. She used to like Tricolor Dango, but now she wants to add a dumpling milk dessert to her Tricolor Dango.

Is there anything else?

"Let's go out and buy it."

The Kamisato siblings quickly stood up, nodded to Li Yue and Ying, and then swiftly left the room.

Because after the Shadows arrived here, this place became a domain between gods, and they were no longer qualified to stay here indefinitely.

Just then, Ying asked for dumpling milk, giving them a legitimate reason to leave.

Yae Miko watched the Kamisato siblings leave, nodding in satisfaction. "It's definitely not your place anymore."

Originally, Yae planned to use the help of the Kamisato siblings to find a way to wake up Raijin, but now, that's no longer necessary, because there's someone more suitable to wake up Raijin.

And it's the kind of thing that Thor can't fight back against at all!

"That..."

After the Kamisato siblings left, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Ying, who wasn't very talkative, looked at Li Yue opposite her and hesitated for a while before finally speaking.

"I have done as you instructed and dealt with the rebels. What should I do next?"

Li Yue, who was drinking tea across from him, almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

The true threat to the Shadow is greater than you imagined. Where is your dignity as the God of Naruto?

Meanwhile, Yae, isn't your behavior a bit too foolish? You're a member of the Thunder God's family, why are you asking others what you should do?

Li Yue suppressed a laugh and tried her best to look puzzled.

"What else do you want to do? As Thor's servant, you don't really need to do anything, because those are things Thor should do. Do you want to take care of all the things Thor did?"

"Cough cough."

Ying cleared her throat slightly.

"Although those are indeed things that the general should do, as a member of Thor's retinue, I cannot ignore them now that I know they need to be improved. Therefore, I will do my best to make amends for the general's mistakes."

On the surface, Ying appears to be earnestly expressing her intention to make amends, but in reality, the Inner World, who has already been wrongly accused twice, has begun to protest against her.

[My true self, I act according to the eternal will you have bestowed upon me, and you support me as my true self.]

No, General, that was your own idea; I didn't ask you to do it that way.

[?]

"I see. You are indeed quite remarkable as a member of Thor's retinue."

Li Yue nodded approvingly.

"Unfortunately, you probably won't need to help your Her Excellency with this anymore, because I'm going to see her tomorrow."

"Well?"

Ying paused for a moment.

"Are you going to see the general?"
