Although she had gained terrifying power after becoming the Crimson Witch of Embers, it came with dreadful aftereffects.
After Rosalyne—also known as the Lady—accepted the Tsaritsa's power, the extreme cold of her Cryo Delusion extinguished the flames that had eternally gnawed at her.
It could even be said that, unlike the other Fatui who wielded the authority of Delusions, her Delusion was not merely an instrument for controlling the Cryo element—it was also a vessel for suppressing the raging fire that devoured everything.
At this moment, the Lady directly unleashed the power of her Delusion, transforming herself once more into that terrifying Crimson Witch of Embers.
Crimson Witch of Embers!
This was the twisted visage painted upon her by the embers accumulated over countless years, after they burst through the frost sealing of her Delusion. Dawn-red light reflected in her pupils as she spread wings of flame and flew toward the sunrise.

Yet, possessing both a Cryo Delusion and a Pyro Vision, she had the power to command ice and fire. Her strength truly far surpassed that of ordinary Vision bearers.
And that was the source of the Lady's confidence in her own power.
Yet in the face of the fully unleashed Lady, Raiden Mei merely... raised the tachi in her hand. Just as the Lady took the initiative to summon ice and flames to strike at her, Mei moved.
She transformed into a bolt of lightning too swift to be seen. The Lady could not react at all; all she saw was a blur before lightning had already pierced her body, pinning her to the floor of Tenshukaku.
"Whether gods or Herrschers, their realm is beyond your comprehension. You underestimate divine power far too much, Eighth Fatui Harbinger... 'Lady'!"
