"Bane of All Evil."
Unconsciously, Yuuko uttered these four words.
It was as if he was speaking on behalf of someone else.
Anyway, Yuuko didn't know why, but he just said it.
Then, the next moment, above this Plane of Euthymia.
A golden light inexplicably flickered, illuminating the ground of the Plane of Euthymia, transforming the originally dark environment.
It radiated a different brilliance, no longer as oppressive and dark as before.
And the source of this light came from above.
Unbeknownst to them, a massive stone block, condensed from the Geo Element, had appeared above the two.
Calling it an ordinary stone block wasn't entirely accurate, as it was an irregular shape composed of multiple square blocks.
Above it, dazzling golden light shone.
It looked just like an artificial meteor.
Then, this meteor plummeted towards Raiden Ei at an extremely fast speed!
The oppressive force contained within it could probably only be felt by Raiden Ei!
As this giant celestial star fell, Raiden Ei rarely showed an extremely rare expression.
She looked up at the giant celestial star rapidly falling and getting closer to her.
She gripped her musou isshin even tighter.
Suddenly, she raised the musou isshin in her hand.
Its blade was instantly covered in lightning.
The Wheel of Wishes behind Raiden Ei shimmered with dazzling purple light.
Raiden Ei stared at the celestial star above her and slashed at it horizontally!
This strike was still the familiar Musou no Hitotachi.
Because the current Raiden Ei was still betraying the dreams of the people of Inazuma.
She had not yet abandoned her previous thoughts.
And the Musou no Hitotachi, in different scenarios and facing different situations, had varying power.
Now, under the immense pressure of the celestial star, it was undoubtedly the time to unleash the Musou no Hitotachi's maximum power!
Rumble!
That strike landed on the celestial star, instantly erupting in sparkling fireworks!
Then, a massive shockwave burst forth from the point of contact, surging outwards in all directions.
The sheer wind pressure alone could blow a person away.
By the time the wind pressure dissipated, the entire Plane of Euthymia was already a mess.
The giant celestial star had split into two halves, falling to the ground and slowly dissipating.
Meanwhile, Raiden Ei knelt on one knee, panting heavily, using her musou isshin inserted into the ground to support herself.
Her clothes were somewhat tattered, and she had numerous scratches on her body.
Evidently, even though she had taken on that celestial star, she had still suffered a considerable degree of damage.
At this moment, Yuuko's figure appeared before Raiden Ei.
Raiden Ei looked at Yuuko before her.
Then she turned to look at the giant celestial star embedded in the ground and continuously dissipating, her expression somewhat trembling:
"Rex Lapis, did he really give you so much... What exactly is he planning..."
"How would I know what that pauper is thinking?" Yuuko spread his hands helplessly.
Yuuko knew very well that the celestial star he had just activated was definitely not an accident.
Nor was it power activated by the Geo Element Gnosis.
The Geo Element Gnosis could, at most, allow Yuuko to manipulate Geo Elemental Power more easily.
It was not enough for Yuuko to create something with such immense oppressive power.
Summoning a celestial star to fall could be said to have become a part of Yuuko's own power.
Even without the Geo Element Gnosis, he could still activate it.
It would just be smoother to activate with the Gnosis.
This ability was probably acquired from that pauper Zhongli, or Rex Lapis... As for why Zhongli would entrust these to him, Yuuko didn't know.
He truly couldn't understand what that tea-drinking busybody was thinking.
At this moment, Yuuko clenched his right fist, raised his hand, and asked:
"Then, Raiden Ei, what do you plan to do next?"
If Raiden Ei's mind didn't change, this battle wouldn't end.
Yuuko would continue fighting.
However, after this, he probably wouldn't use Geo Elemental Power to fight anymore... because he had already tried it and knew the extent to which simply wielding Geo Elemental Power could reach.
Next, it was time to get serious.
For someone like Raiden Ei, with such stubborn ideas, it would be difficult to make her change her mind without an overwhelming victory.
Raiden Ei remained silent, but her eyes, in fact, conveyed her answer.
"Is that so." Seeing this, Yuuko threw a punch.
However, at this very moment, Raiden Ei also transformed into a purple streak of shadow and disappeared, dodging the punch.
She appeared in the distance, looked at Yuuko, and said:
"Yellow Fox, why are you so persistent about the Vision Hunt Decree?"
Yuuko retorted, "That's what I want to ask. Why are you so insistent on carrying out the Vision Hunt Decree? Is it because of this 'Heavenly Principles'? What exactly are the Heavenly Principles?"
Raiden Ei fell silent. After a while, she spoke:
"That one is the ruler of all living beings. Since you haven't become involved yet, don't delve any deeper..."
"Then are you really going to abandon Inazuma? Even if it means taking away your people's wishes and making them completely stand against you?"
Hearing this, Raiden Ei sighed softly:
"The Vision Hunt Decree is also for Inazuma's eternity. This is the only way to protect them."
After speaking, Raiden Ei again showed a reminiscent expression and said:
"Did you know..."
"Khaenri'ah, that nation with extremely advanced technology and manpower, which should have been running at full speed, was still mercilessly destroyed five hundred years ago."
"So... whether for Makoto or for Inazuma, I... will bear all these sins, and not let Inazuma become the next target."
"For this, even if it goes against the wishes of the people, it doesn't matter."
After speaking, Raiden Ei's eyes flickered with a faint light, her will still as firm.
Hearing this, Yuuko fell silent.
From these words, he also extracted a lot of new information.
Khaenri'ah, this was the first time Yuuko had heard this term since he transmigrated.
It seemed to be a kingdom that existed long ago, but this kingdom was destroyed five hundred years ago.
And the destruction of Khaenri'ah was related to the Heavenly Principles.
In other words, Raiden Ei's insistence on enacting the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree.
Was actually to prevent Inazuma from becoming the Heavenly Principles' next target?
However, Yuuko still didn't know what the Heavenly Principles were.
Why would it make this god of Inazuma so fearful?
After a long period of contemplation, Yuuko spoke:
"Why don't you try to resist the Heavenly Principles? You are a god, and you have so many people who believe in you."
Raiden Ei was slightly stunned, and a momentary daze appeared in her eyes.
After a while, she sighed softly:
"Yellow Fox, sometimes, you really say some extraordinary things..."
