Before the Tsaritsa could even be happy, she received a friendly punch from Yuuko... her entire body flew backward, soaring hundreds of meters before finally falling.
This body was almost scrapped on the spot.
Of course, the Tsaritsa wasn't the only one who got hit.
The Raiden Shogun, who was standing next to the Tsaritsa, was also sent flying far away by Yuuko's punch.
Or rather, the Raiden Shogun got hit because she was standing next to the Tsaritsa... This scene stunned Raiden Ei.
At this moment, Yuuko turned around again and smiled at Raiden Ei:
"Ei, I heard you've been holding on alone for a long time. From now on, leave it to me."
"Whether it's your broken puppet or that scoundrel of the Tsaritsa, I'll make sure they turn over a new leaf."
Raiden Ei was stunned for a long time before she spoke with a strange expression:
"No... I wasn't fighting the Raiden Shogun alone. The Archon of Snezhnaya came to help me..."
"Huh?" This time it was Yuuko's turn to be stunned:
"Wasn't that guy here to cause trouble? Then why was she standing with the Raiden Shogun just now, still wearing an arrogant smile? Like a villain."
Raiden Ei's expression became even stranger:
"Actually, the Archon of Snezhnaya was fighting the Raiden Shogun just now; they only stopped because of your intervention..."
"Uh..." Yuuko asked tentatively, "So, the Tsaritsa is innocent, and I hit the wrong person?"
Raiden Ei nodded.
"Alright." Yuuko awkwardly exhaled but didn't regret his actions just now.
There's no turning back a thrown punch.
Besides, the score with the Tsaritsa hadn't been fully settled yet.
That punch just now could also be considered for Inazuma.
Yuuko walked to the pit where the Tsaritsa was, extended his hand, and said, rather embarrassed:
"Ah, sorry, I hit the wrong person."
The Tsaritsa: "..."
The Tsaritsa glared at Yuuko resentfully, daring not to speak... If anyone else had dared to do this to her, the Tsaritsa would have long since erupted in murderous rage.
But if it was Yuuko doing this to her, she... didn't dare to move... The Tsaritsa didn't take Yuuko's hand; instead, she got up herself and coldly snorted:
"Yellow Fox, if the chips I offered before for expelling the Rifthounds from Inazuma weren't enough,
"Now, risking everything to help Beelzebul modify that foolish puppet, should explain my attitude, right?"
The Tsaritsa felt that after throwing out so many chips and enduring so many beatings,
She should finally be able to gain Yuuko's trust!
However... Yuuko shook his head: "No, whether you are beneficial to Inazuma, I still need to observe for a while."
The Tsaritsa: "..."
If it weren't for the sake of pulling Yuuko into her faction, the Tsaritsa would really want to flare up on the spot now.
Of course, if she did flare up, she would only be pinned to the ground.
At this moment, Raiden Ei also walked towards the two, showing an expression of 'I knew it':
"Looking at you two, you really have met before, haven't you?"
The Tsaritsa crossed her arms, let out a cold snort, and didn't respond.
Yuuko, on the other hand, smiled: "Yes, this guy was ignorant before, came to me and challenged me, but now she doesn't dare."
Such humiliating words made the Tsaritsa's face twitch slightly, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Raiden Ei looked at the two with a strange gaze and said:
"Although I don't know what happened outside, the most urgent task right now is to quickly solve the Raiden Shogun's problem."
Thus, the three of them turned their gaze to another pit in the distance.
The brief rest allowed the Raiden Shogun's body to recover, and she climbed out of the pit.
And stared intently at Yuuko.
Facing the Raiden Shogun's glare, Yuuko said helplessly:
"Ei, why do I always feel like your puppet is glaring at me fiercely, as if she has a grudge against me? Shouldn't your puppet be devoid of emotions?"
Raiden Ei pondered for a long time and said uncertainly:
"Perhaps, the Shogun has gained her own heart during this time..."
Yuuko said in surprise: "You mean, with the passage of time, the Raiden Shogun will eventually truly possess human emotions?"
Raiden Ei nodded: "After all, there's already a precedent, so this isn't uncommon."
The precedent Raiden Ei mentioned referred to the Fatui Harbinger Balladeer, Raiden Kunikuzushi, who self-destructed and died some time ago.
After pondering for a while, Raiden Ei continued:
"But I really didn't expect that the Shogun would harbor such great hostility towards you..."
"Perhaps, in that previous battle, you made the Shogun experience an unresisting defeat, which then sparked feelings of unwillingness in her."
Hearing this, Yuuko sighed: "So, the Raiden Shogun slowly beginning to develop emotions is because of me?"
Raiden Ei nodded.
Seeing this, Yuuko lightly exhaled:
"Forget it, thinking about these messy things is useless. The urgent task now is to quickly make the Raiden Shogun change her will."
With that, Yuuko took a step forward, standing in front of Raiden Ei and the Tsaritsa, and smiled:
"Then, you two have worked hard for so long."
"Let me handle the rest."
The Tsaritsa 'hmph'ed haughtily, saying nothing.
As for Raiden Ei, looking at Yuuko's back, she showed a faint smile: "Indeed, you are very much like Makoto..."
"What did you say?" Yuuko turned his head.
"Nothing." Raiden Ei shook her head, then said seriously: "Then, I'll leave it to you."
Yuuko smiled, didn't answer, but walked leisurely towards the Raiden Shogun.
After Yuuko had walked away, Raiden Ei spoke to the Tsaritsa beside her:
"You went to great lengths to help Inazuma, surely it was to get closer to Yellow Fox, wasn't it?"
The Tsaritsa was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
Seeing this, Raiden Ei asked again: "And for you to win over Yellow Fox, it couldn't be..."
She was cut off mid-sentence by the Tsaritsa:
"Beelzebul, you should know better than I do that I have no other choice."
Raiden Ei fell silent again, then she sighed softly:
"You... are you really going to contend with Celestia?"
Hearing this, the Tsaritsa's expression immediately became solemn:
"Beelzebul, you know what happened to Khaenri'ah, don't you?"
"As it stands, apart from Morax and Barbatos who have established contracts with Celestia, ensuring Liyue and Mondstadt won't be on the 'cleanup list',"
"Our nations, under Celestia, have no future whatsoever."
"All prosperity can turn into an illusion in an instant at their whim."
"If one day they descend upon Inazuma, Beelzebul, what would you do then? Accept destruction, or engage in a faint hope of resistance?"
Hearing these words, Raiden Ei fell into deep thought.
After a long while, she showed a bitter smile: "If it were before, perhaps I wouldn't have had the courage to resist, letting Inazuma be destroyed."
"But now, if one day Celestia truly intends to destroy Inazuma, I will bear Inazuma's wishes and draw my blade against Celestia!"
After speaking, Raiden Ei's gaze fell upon Yuuko's back again, and she smiled gently:
"Perhaps, I really have been changed by him..."
