Eige said to Raiden Shogun, "This is exactly what I had in mind when I created you, and now it's a wall I have to cross. ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to cross this high wall." Tassel said as he touched his chin.

Paimon listened to Tassel's words and wondered, "What? ”

"It's nothing, let's watch a good show." Tassel shook his head.

Paimon: "."

Raiden Shogun continued, "I am the past you cannot forget, I am the immutable law, I am the eternal guardian. ”

"And I am, the one who promised the subject a dream - Ray Movie." Shadow said this, her purple eyes emitting a strong purple light, and Dream Yixin also appeared in her hand, and was held high by her.

At this time, Shadow lifted the dream in his right hand and fought with Raiden Shogun, who was also holding a long knife in his left hand.

Raiden Shogun said as he fought Shadow, "The proud and awe-inspiring Oni Maiden was finally cut off with her fangs and claws..."

"Even though the blood and filth have been cleansed, the sword will never shine as bright."

Raiden Shogun took all of Shadow's attacks with his sword sideways, and Shadow's swift attack did not affect Raiden Shogun in any way.

"Hmm, why do I feel like Raiden Shogun is stronger than Shadow." Paimon said with a frown as he looked at the two men fighting in front of him.

"It's not a feeling, it's that Raiden Shogun is indeed stronger than Shadow, you see she is holding a knife in her left hand at this time, according to our previous battles with her, we can know that Raiden Shogun also holds a weapon with his right hand, but why has it changed now?" Ying touched her chin and wondered.

Paimon listened to Ying's words and exclaimed, "yes, if a person who uses weapons with her right hand all year round, she will definitely be a little uncomfortable if she suddenly switches to her left hand, but she can still fight back and forth with Ei, doesn't that mean that Ei will fail in the end?" Raiden Shogun succeeds Kage as the new Inazuma Thor?! ”

"No, I feel that Raiden Shogun is weird, she only defends, and her desire to attack is very low." Ying said suddenly.

Paimon said, "Maybe Shadow is too strong, and the general is using a weapon with his left hand, so he doesn't have the power to fight back, right?" ”

Sure enough, after some fighting, Raiden Shogun, who was holding a sword in his left hand, was not Shadow's opponent after all, and under Shadow's attack, he couldn't parry it for a while.

Raiden Shogun said as he fended off Shadow's attack, "The fox cherry blossoms that flew all over the sky eventually turned into a black rain..."

"As long as the leylines are still flowing, the torment of time will never end."

"What is Raiden Shogun talking about?" Paimon wondered.

Ying replied, "What Raiden Shogun said should be about the Fox Palace. ”

"At this moment, when there is silence!"

As Shadow drew his sword, Raiden Shogun couldn't resist it and was knocked to the ground by Shadow.

"Is Shadow going to succeed?" Paimon wondered as he looked at Raiden Shogun who had been knocked to the ground by the shadow.

"It seems that your martial arts have not regressed." Raiden Shogun slowly stood up and said, "But how long can your will last?" ”

"Why, how come, it's back to normal?" Paimon exclaimed as he looked at Raiden Shogun as he stood up again.

Tassel opened his mouth and said: "People are not injured at all, the demon god can be immune to a large number of attacks of this attribute, especially the Seven Archons of the earthly world, as a thunderbolt general, she is also immune to most of the shadow's attacks, although the shadow just now looks powerful, but the effect on the thunderbolt general is very weak." ”

"Alas??! The puppet general won't be invincible, right? Paimon was surprised.

"The tassel is right, and this is still a space of consciousness, so it is really difficult for her to shake it." Shadow spoke.

"She's a product of resistance to wear and tear. In terms of will, she is above all living beings, including you and me. ”

Paimon looked at the shadow and asked worriedly, "So, isn't there no end to this battle?" ”

Shadow said lightly: "Maybe." But I must prove to her that my will is not the product of wear and tear at this moment. The future I will forge will be a great cause that will stand the wear and tear. ”

"If you don't do this, the shogun's laws will not change, and Inazuma will not be able to move forward."

"It's my responsibility. No matter how long this battle lasts, months, years, decades, hundreds of years... No matter how many times, I will beat her. ”

"Five hundred years ago, humanity proved its strength by fighting, and now they are trying to get rid of old evils, just as an old cherry tree will grow new branches."

"—it's time for me to learn to trust them."

"But don't they all think you're hopeful?" Ying said.

Shadow replied flatly, "I understand." But if the dream is truly eternal, then there is nothing to be afraid of if the general does not exist. ”

"If it's for Inazuma's infinite future, no matter how long my battle is, it will only be as long as a moment in eternity."

"I promise the people of Inazuma that I will return. This promise is your witness. ”

"During my absence, everything will be left to the Son of God."

"Ei, is this why you didn't let Miko enter the consciousness space? You had long since guessed that this would happen? Paimon wondered.

Shadow replied: "Yes, what the general said at that time, I also have a premonition in my heart, that is, I can't avoid this battle, if I don't accept this battle, then something terrible will happen in the future, this is what my heart told me." ”

"Why don't you call the tassel for help? She should be able to subdue Raiden Shogun. Paimon suggested.

Shadow shook his head and said, "No, this battle can't be interfered by others, this is my faith, and my pursuit of new eternity, if I let Tassel intervene, it can only mean that I am not strong enough in my own beliefs." ”

"Hehe, your determination is pretty good, but I'll see how long you can hold on." Raiden Shogun said lightly.

"Wow! What is it!! Paimon exclaimed.

Shadow: "??? ”

In the eyes of several people, a long sword emitting a green light curtain suddenly appeared in Raiden Shogun's right hand, and the Eye of Thunder Punishment Evil Yao behind him was wrapped in a blade that suddenly produced green.

"Tassel, what's going on??" Paimon asked, turning his head.

"Ahem, when I was making the general's body, I accidentally added a little grass element to it." Tassel said with a fluttering look.

Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Is this just a little bit?" Raiden Shogun's eyes are green! ”

That's right, at this time, Raiden Shogun's original purple eyes had turned green, and they emitted a leaf-green glow.

"Ahem, there will be no problem, don't worry." Tassel spoke.

Shadow: "."

I believe your nonsense, how can I fight you like this? People Raiden General beat me to fight intensify, I beat people to fight immunity, how can this fight?

Looking at Raiden Shogun, who took out his green sword, Shadow felt the urge to back down, because things had already turned out for her.

Raiden General pointed his long sword at Ying and said, "Wei Li is like this, it is all the birth of a god. ”

Shadow: "."

"That's true, but this god's birthday is too outrageous." Paimon couldn't help but complain again.

Shadow turned to Ying and Paimon and said, "Traveler, Paimon, if you relay my words to Miko, you will say that Inazuma has needed to trouble them for a long time, and the current general will not be able to solve it for a while." ”

"Wait a minute, woohoo!" Paimon was about to say something, but suddenly her eyes went black, and she and Ying were teleported out of the consciousness space.

"Hehe, I'm leaving, farewell!" The tassel also slipped away in place after speaking.

Shadow opened her mouth to look at the place where the tassel had left, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

"Now that the outsiders have left, come on." Raiden Shogun said to Ei.

Shadow replied, "I will not give up, the eternity in my heart, I will prove it to you." ”

Ying and Paimon's figures appear at the door of the torii gate that entered earlier.

Paimon said to Ying, "We've been kicked out."

"Well, we're kicked out." Tassel replied.

Paimon wondered, "Tassels?" Why did you come out too? ”

"Of course, I was kicked out." Tassel replied.

Paimon debunked, "How is it possible, I see that you came out on your own, and when I saw the look in Ei's eyes on you in front of me, I couldn't wait to eat you." ”

"Oh hey!"

Paimon complained, "Hey, what do you mean! Tassels, you don't want to learn well from the singers. ”

"You're not the same, what's the right to talk about people." Ying said, glancing at Paimon.

Paimon replied unconvinced, "You don't either. ”

"Then again, is Shadow really okay inside? Raiden Shogun can also use grass elemental power, all of which are your fault. Paimon said this, puffing and pointing to the tassels.

Tassel replied: "Ahem, it's not a big problem, the sisters haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, we disturbed them to catch up, it's normal to be kicked out, and I think they get along very well, it's fine, don't worry." ”

"Get along? It's all going to be fought, okay? Paimon said angrily, but it was also accompanied by doubts, "But what do you mean by sisters, didn't Raiden Shogun make a shadow?" ”

Tassel spoke: "Who else can a sister be, of course it's the truth of Yingxin's thoughts." ”

Paimon exclaimed, "What? Tassel do you mean Raiden Shogun is it real? ”

Listening to Tassel's words, Ying's eyes widened on the side, and she looked at Tassel in disbelief.

Tassel explained, "Of course, the last time I was constructing Raiden Shogun's body, I found that there was only another consciousness left on her body, so I used the grass element to condense this consciousness, but that consciousness was too weak, and I could only let her coexist with Raiden Shogun in one body. ”

"You're not using grass elementals, are you? Does the grass elemental have this power? How did I not know? Paimon asked.

"Almost, anyway, it's good if you treat it as a grass element, and this consciousness slowly awakens, and it can take over the behavior of Raiden Shogun's body, and Raiden Shogun will not resist this consciousness to a certain extent because of Shadow's instructions."

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Hmm, it's so hard to understand, so it's really resurrected?" ”

"No, it's still far from resurrection, and the current true consciousness is not complete, and she has forgotten a lot of things, such as the battle five hundred years ago, but she still remembers some basics."

"When you say that, isn't it really the same as the Fox Palace we've seen before? It's all about forgetting about this period of time. Ying said as she touched her chin.

Tassel bowed his head and said: "You're right, this memory can't be mentioned, so these two people choose to forget, as long as they forget this memory, they can ensure that they won't be noticed by Tianli." ”

"Hmm, it's so troublesome, why would Tianli notice if you know about this." Paimon asked, confused.

Tassel explained: "Because this piece of knowledge is forbidden by the Heavenly Lines, all the existence of Teyvat is connected to the leylines, and the Heavenly Principles can perceive some things through the leylines, and those who know about it will be recorded by the leylines and then transmitted to the Heavenly Lines. ”

"Then the two of us know so much, Tianli won't come down to kill him, right?" Paimon said nervously.

"No, I didn't have the ability before, and now I can protect the two of you, but if you tell the matter to a fourth person other than us, then I don't think you will want to know the consequences."

"No, no, Ying and I will definitely lock this matter firmly and won't reveal a word." Paimon hurriedly said.

Ying also nodded seriously and said, "Me too." ”

It's about his own life, and Ying can't be sloppy.

"Haha, actually, it doesn't matter if you reveal it." Tassel said suddenly.

Paimon scratched his head and wondered, "Huh? Why? ”

Tassel said lightly: "Because it wasn't me who had an accident at that time,"

Paimon: "."

I'm so angry, this person's attitude is really bad, and I almost believed her nonsense.

Tassel looked at the tangled Paimon, spread his hands and said, "I'm just giving you a piece of advice, it's not our contract to keep this matter, it's about your own, if you feel that you have the ability to fight against Heavenly Reason, you don't need to keep your mouth shut about this matter." ”

Ying nodded, "I see." ”

"But what about the situation inside? According to what Ying said, this battle will definitely not be short. Paimon said worriedly.

"Of course not, it's just that Shadow's mind is too stubborn, I need to use Raiden Shogun to enlighten her, if there is a real presence, it shouldn't be too long." Tassel said with a smile.

Paimon asked in surprise, "Really?" How long should that take? ”

Tassel touched his chin and thought for a moment and said, "It's about three or four hundred years." ”

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

Your concept of time is really different from ours, is three or four hundred years not too long?

"Do you really want to let Shadow and Raiden Shogun fight all the time? Although she said that only in this way can the general's operating rules be modified, but..."

"I don't think that's the only way." Ying touched her chin and said.

"Right? And as Tassel said, Shadow's mind is very stubborn, and it is easy to enter a dead end, if he is too obsessed with winning and losing, and forgets his original intention, maybe he will never get out again. ”

"Didn't I say that they will come out in three or four hundred years?" Tassel corrected.

Paimon said angrily, "For three or four hundred years, Inazuma doesn't know how many times it has been changed, what is the difference between this and the generals that this generation of Inazuma people know will never come out??" ”

"And what are you going to do?" Tassel glanced at Paimon.

She didn't feel the power of the reign of time, so she couldn't do anything about the plot this time, she could only look at the little guy in front of her.

Somewhat uncomfortable by Tassel's gaze, Paimon said with a humble look, "Well, I think we should help her as before, so that she can quickly break through this test." ”

"Tassel, is there a way to shorten her time inside, or just help her win?" Paimon asked at the tassel.

"Yes, it's good to find the Ruler of Time, Ishalo, let her speed up time." Tassel replied.

Paimon complained, "How can the reign of time be so easy to find, don't you say this the same as not saying it?" ”

"Then there is no way?" Tassel spread his hands.

"Three or four hundred years is too long, and now the general still controls the body, and can't let the shadow have any accidents inside, the current shadow can't beat the general." Paimon scratched his head and said, "What should I do, do you really not interfere with the tassel?" ”

Tassel did not answer, but read, "The king's gardener is in love with the tree spirit of the royal garden." But if the king wants to build a new carved beam of the pavilion, he needs to cut down the most spiritual wood. The king is the incarnation of the original one, so the gardener cannot disobey the king of kings, but can only pray to the king's priests. Priests are the embodiment of the great gods of the ages.

And the priest had pity on the gardener, and said, Go and break off the branches of the tree of the spirit." The gardener went to break the branches, and then cut down the spirit wood at the king's orders.

Then the priest said, "Go and plant the branches of the spirit tree." The gardener said that it takes five hundred years for the spirit tree to grow. The priest said, "One thought is a thousand dooms." So the gardener planted branches in his backyard. As a result, in an instant, the twigs grew into a new tree, and the new tree spirit was a continuation of the previous tree spirit.

Because the god of that moment can bring the "moment" of the "seed" to the past and the future. ”

"Isn't this the record in "The Past of the Sun and the Moon"? Does the tassel mean anything you said suddenly? Paimon wondered.

"[Past], [Future], in an instant, a thin branch grows into a new tree." Ying touched her chin and thought, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"I see, let's go find Yae Miko!" Ying said suddenly.

"You know what? Why don't I understand at all? Paimon asked, scratching his head.

Ying explained, "We once heard that the Katsune had the impression that the sacred cherry tree suddenly grew five hundred years ago, but the other Inazuma people think that this tree originally grew there, don't you think it's suspicious? ”

"When did Ei say that, why don't I remember?" Paimon scratched his head.

"Oh, I asked in Liyue, and it's normal that you were just eating and didn't notice." Ying said lightly.

"No, what did you ask the god Sakura to do? I'm still not impressed. ”

"You don't care, we're going to find Yae Miko now." After Ying finished speaking, she left.

Paimon: "."
