"As you are about to die, this farce ends here."
"Wait, no, it hasn't started yet, why are we leaving now?"
"You are too weak to stand up, let alone hold a weapon and fight."
"Oh, that's what I mean. I thought even a duel in front of the emperor couldn't stop the general. That's great... great... If I can stand up and hold the sword, then we can duel, right?"
Kaguya panted and raised her head. Her pale face and sweaty face showed that it was impossible for her to do so. But she smiled with great relief.
Those eyes were as bright as stars, with a pure determination that would make anyone look at them.
However, no one knows what she is thinking or what she is going to do yet.
General Raiden frowned again, but before she could say anything else, Kaguya lowered his head and looked at his body. As if he was giving his body an order, Kaguya said:
"Stand up..."
"Stand up..."
"Give it to me, stand up!"
"Boom!!!"
The sound of the command gradually grew louder, and after the last sound echoed around the arena, lightning and thunder exploded next to the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue.
Kaguya stood up, his body bathed in electric light, holding a purple, precious gem in his hand.
"Eye of God?"
"And it's the Lightning God's Eye?"
"She has been recognized by the general!"
All kinds of noisy shouts rang out around the arena.
The Eye of God represents the gaze of God and the extraordinary power that is beyond the reach of mortals.
Once you obtain the Eye of God, power, status, wealth, and everything that is out of reach for ordinary people will be within your reach.
Although the Eye of God is actually an auxiliary device of pure will, those who truly obtain the Eye of God will only focus more on their own love and wishes, and those who use it to seek worldly benefits are rare. But this does not hinder the legendary color of the Eye of God, nor does it hinder others' envy and awe of the holder of the Eye of God.
Even Kujo Sara couldn't help but open his mouth, and then he suddenly realized.
"Yes, even a fool like me can obtain the Eye of God. With the virtue and talent of Mr. Kaguya, she doesn't have the Eye of God but she just hasn't thought about it. When she needs it, the Eye of God will naturally come. This is also a matter of course."
Suddenly, Kujo Sara admired Kaguya's ideas even more, and his mind became more determined.
'Only such a person can save Inazuma from danger! '
General Raiden frowned again, looking at Kaguya holding the Eye of God, and suddenly found that his inner eyes had also opened.
【Inside?】
[Ever since Inazuma closed off the country, the Eye of the God of Thunder has no longer descended upon the world. As the God of Thunder, I have not yet understood the mystery, but I can sense this fact. Who is she and why does she break the rules? ]
[The inner self, no matter what, is the exception, the variable, and the eternal enemy.]
[I know. I'll see for myself what she wants to do.]
A person who applied for a duel in front of the emperor was not worthy of the attention of Raiden Kage.
A person who gets the Eye of God just to stand on the ring can make Raiden look sideways.
And the person who obtained the Eye of Thunder God, which was supposed to be unobtainable, plus all the previous factors added together, even the autistic Raiden had to pay close attention.
Kaguya didn't know that the Thunder God's Eye would cause a reaction in the Thunder movie. She chose the Thunder God because this is the country of the Thunder God, and the Thunder God is the most legendary here and is the easiest to spread.
"General, I am willing to fight for the glory of God. Please allow Kujo Sara to become the opponent of Horaisan Kaguya."
Kujo Sara knelt on one knee and begged respectfully.
This is consistent with her loyalty to General Raiden, and no one would be surprised.
However, under the stage, the head of the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo family, who had hurried over, suddenly felt uneasy for some reason.
"Damn it, why is Sala here? If it was any other general... forget it, Sala is also the best soldier, and she is loyal to the general, she won't make any mistakes. Yes, I must be overthinking it."
The head of the Kujo family convinced himself in this way.
General Raiden turned his head, looked at the little Tengu he had trained, and nodded solemnly.
"can."
Kujo Sara felt relieved.
She stood up and walked in front of Huiye in front of everyone. Then she bowed respectfully and handed him a clean and exquisite short knife with both hands.
"The sword is called Izumi-no-Mori. It is named after the fact that the blade is clear and flawless, like a pool of clear water. This sword is quite light, but it is so sharp that it can cut through hair. It is a rare and good sword, and it is just right for Mr. Kaguya. Sir, please use this sword."
Kujo Sara said this very respectfully.
Kaguya stared into Kujo Sara's eyes earnestly, making his final confirmation today. Then he smiled and grasped the short sword.
The head of the Kujo family was even more uneasy. He recognized this sword. It was a royal gift that Kujo Sara had received and was solemnly enshrined in her bedroom. Why was it taken out? Why was it given to this person? Did they know each other before?
But no matter what, the duel in front of the emperor began in front of everyone.
Under the watchful eyes of General Raiden, no one in Inazuma could interfere with the duel. Not even Tenryo Bugyo could.
Kujo Sara drew out a long sword, and the elemental force of lightning penetrated the sword. The surging and sharp aura of the warrior immediately shocked the whole audience.
Even General Raiden and Thunder Movie couldn't help but become interested.
【Internally, compared to the last time I saw him, Sara has made considerable progress and seems to have never slacked off.】
[Not bad, you are worthy of being a member of Sasayuri's clan, and you are worthy of the title of general. ]
Judging from the life span of a tengu, Kujo Sara is just a babbling baby, but she has already reached the limit of human power, and her future potential is limitless. Perhaps, she will become the next general, Yuri Sasa.
Both the Raiden General and the Raiden movie are looking forward to Kujo Sara becoming a general comparable to the group of people five hundred years ago and truly defending the peace of Inazuma.
Under the tense and expectant gazes of everyone, Kujo Sara activated the Tengu clan's natural speed and almost teleported to Kaguya's front.
"laugh!"
The blade pierced through his chest, and blood splattered all over the stage.
Chapter 42 Lei Dianying is full of confidence
General Raiden stood up.
Because Kujo Sara's sword pierced the air at the side of Kaguya's face, and she herself ran straight into Kaguya's blade.
"Tick!"
Blood kept dripping from the corners of Kujo Sara's mouth and his clothes to the ground.
Huiye pursed his lips, not showing any surprise, and looked at Kujo Sara with clear and gentle eyes.
Kujo Sara raised a thrilling smile with his bloodstained lips.
"I was adopted and raised by the Kujo family, and I owe Kujo so much. But I am loyal to the General and Inazuma. In a duel before the Emperor, there is only one death and one victory. This is all I can do. From now on, I will leave Inazuma to you, Mr. Kaguya."
There was relief and anticipation in Kujo Sara's eyes, not fear of death.
After reading Kaguya's summary of Inazuma's current situation, and seeing with his own eyes the truth about Inazuma under the guidance of Yae Kamiko, Kujo Sara stayed awake all night, feeling pain and powerlessness for the Kujo surname on his body.
Between gratitude and loyalty, she made this choice.
She didn't know whether it was right or not, but she had done her best.
Kujo Sara grabbed Izumi-no-kami's blade, took a step back, and forcibly pulled the blade out of his chest. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards - at the last moment, he did not want to bring any burden to Kaguya.
She was loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the utmost.
It was also extremely stupid, so stupid that Hui Ye couldn't help but look at the Thunder General who couldn't hide his surprise - why could such an extremely stupid loyalty defeat a god like you?
What a waste. Give it to me later.
Kaguya made a decision in her heart, and looked at General Raiden with her clothes stained with blood. The blood dripped from her mouth faster and faster, but an abnormally bright smile gradually appeared on her face.
"General, I win."
"Ridiculous! How can a duel in front of the emperor be treated so lightly? What on earth did you do to my general?"
"But General, I won, can I speak now?"
"You...speak!"
General Raiden was very angry.
Even the most blind person could see that there was something wrong with this duel in front of the emperor. Kujo Sara was clearly going to commit suicide.
Who could force a general who was watched by General Lei Dian to commit suicide? How did he force him? Why did he commit suicide?
There were so many doubts that people ignored the outcome of the duel in front of the emperor and wanted to know what Kaguya had to say.
"Dang~~"
Hui Ye stood on the ground with a sword, her slim body swaying on the ring, looking like a dying person who was struggling to survive. She trembled and took out the not-so-thick document from her arms. Suddenly, the wind blew, and the paper flew away with the wind, falling all over the ring.
But it doesn't matter. Yae Kamiko and Kamisato Ayato have already prepared handwritten copies of such an important document, and Thor will be able to see it sooner or later.
"Clerical...cough!!!"
Kaguya stretched out her hand, as if trying to pick it up, but she continued to cough up blood, and her body became even more shaky. Everyone could see that she was using up her last bit of life just standing with her sword, let alone anything else.
General Lei Dian looked at this scene, his expression gradually softening.
"Just to write a letter? Your loyalty is commendable."
"Alas... it seems like it's no longer effective. Is this the only effect of the Eye of God?"
"Lightning elemental power focuses more on strength, burst and speed. It is suitable for war, but it does not have much effect on life. Your Eye of God cannot save your life, so if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
It was not General Raiden who was explained to Kaguya, but Raiden Movie.
Having come this far, even though she has been shutting herself off from the world and realizing eternity, she must show up because of Kujo Sara's abnormality and Kaguya's realization of sacrificing his life.
General Raiden had no objection to this and gave the home field to his inner self.
Huiye raised her head and stared at the general in a daze. As she gasped, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"General, I have always had a question. Before issuing the order to close the country, did you calculate whether the products of Inazuma could fill the stomachs of the Inazuma people?"
"Of course I have calculated it. According to the population and grain data of Inazuma submitted by the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo every year, Inazuma's products are sufficient."
Lei Dianying said as a matter of course. Although she was a secluded person and not very good at governing a country, she was still aware of whether people could have food after closing the country.
Below, the face of the Tenryo Bugyo, who was standing at the front of the crowd, twitched suddenly. No one knew better than him the many problems behind the information. But this was a duel in front of the emperor, under the general's attention and in front of the public, and he could not interrupt.
“Oh no…”
Even if he were to kill Huiye with one arrow now, the general would only become furious and investigate everything, which would be the worst option.
Tianling Bugyo could only hurriedly organize his words in his mind, trying to come up with a speech that would satisfy the general as quickly as possible.
Raiden didn't notice Tenryo Bugyo's psychological activities, and Kaguya didn't care at all.
Huiye just stared at Lei's movie, coughing up blood, smiling, and said:
"Then do you know that imported high-yield grains can degenerate and reduce yields?"
"Ok?"
"Do you know that without external fertilizers and pesticides, farmland will further reduce production? Do you know that the lightning curtain will be a devastating blow to the fishing industry? How many people have lost their food supply? Do you forget it?"
"Nonsense! The memorial from the Three Magistrates says that everything is going well. Are you questioning the ability of the Three Magistrates or their loyalty?"
"I don't know... what should I question... or should I question everything. If all this is right, then when I walked half of Inazuma and saw burning villages, exiled people, starving people everywhere, and battlefields littered with corpses, was it all dazzled by my eyes?"
Kaguya's eyes were hazy, like a layer of fragile glass that could break at any moment. She felt like she was dying, and had to stand there for some reason.
Lei Dianying frowned deeply.
What is she talking about?
What does she mean?
"If you're talking about Tadashi Sand and Hatori Island, it's because there are rebels on Kaigi Island. The Tenryo Bugyo and the shogunate are working quickly to suppress and eliminate them, and it will be over soon."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Listening to the faithful words of Raiden Ying, Kaguya looked at her and smiled miserably and weakly. Then perhaps the laughter accelerated the loss of life, and she finally couldn't stand, staggered, supported the sword, and fell to the ground with weak knees.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."
