Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Kazuha spoke calmly: "Director Yide, you must have seen the Plane of Euthymia before, right? Do you think a mortal can truly attain that one stroke of Musou?"

Lin Yide shook his head slightly and replied: "That stroke is the pinnacle of the Raiden Shogun's martial arts; only beings of the same caliber as the Seven Archons can withstand that stroke."

The light in Kazuha's eyes gradually dimmed. He said gravely: "If we cannot withstand that one stroke of Musou, then the day of Inazuma's transformation will never arrive."

However, Lin Yide countered in a calm tone: "Do you truly believe the Raiden Shogun still has the ability to unleash a Musou like that now?"

Upon hearing this, Kazuha couldn't help but be stunned, asking in confusion: "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Yide continued: "A few months ago, your friend died in the Duel Arena, and you, right in front of the Raiden Shogun and Kujou Sara, snatched away your friend's Vision on the spot. Do you know what this signifies?"

Kazuha pondered for a moment, then a hint of light flickered in his eyes. "Are you saying that the Raiden Shogun's power is not as great as before, and she can no longer unleash that stroke from the Plane of Euthymia as she did in the past?"

Lin Yide nodded affirmatively. "Exactly, she is no longer the Raiden Shogun of the past."

Kazuha still had concerns. "Even so, her power is still immensely formidable."

Lin Yide said confidently: "Kaedehara Kazuha, I have the ability to defeat her, but I need your assistance."

His voice was firm and strong, revealing a conviction that inspired trust.

Kazuha responded without hesitation: "I am willing to be Director Yide's sharp sword to cut through the thunder."

Hearing such a reply, a smile appeared on Lin Yide's face.

With Kazuha joining him, he felt more confident in defeating Raiden Ei.

As long as someone could buy him enough time to unleash his Elemental Burst, he had a great chance of defeating Raiden Ei.

.................

In Snezhnaya, the palace of the Tsaritsa appeared even more grand and magnificent adorned in silver and white.

The Tsaritsa sat enthroned on that pure white, snow-like throne, quietly listening to the Fatui Harbingers' meeting taking place not far away.

Around an oval meeting table, the Fatui Harbingers sat arrayed on either side, while in the central chairman's seat, The Jester, Pierro, sat upright and solemn.

He lightly tapped the tabletop, the crisp sound echoing in the meeting room, signaling the formal commencement of the meeting.

"I have convened everyone today for two main matters to discuss. Firstly, concerning the increasingly chaotic situation in Inazuma."

Pierro's gaze swept across the assembled individuals, finally settling on Rosalyne (La Signora) seated in the back row. "Rosalyne, please give everyone a detailed overview of the current situation in Inazuma."

Upon hearing this, Rosalyne slowly recounted: "Director Yide of the West Factory has leveled the Kujou Encampment, subjugated Watatsumi Island, and established a new port city on Yashiori Island. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, it won't be long before the entirety of Inazuma is under his control."

The moment Rosalyne's voice fell, Tartaglia, the Childe, seated at the far end, couldn't wait to speak arrogantly: "Is his strength great? If he's truly that strong, let me be the one to deal with him!"

Rosalyne glanced at him disdainfully and said coldly: "Tartaglia, you are far from being capable of dealing with him. Do you know why Scaramouche, the Scaramouche, isn't here? He crossed paths with Yide and nearly got beaten to death. Now Yide is forcing him to do grunt work on a construction site."

Hearing this, Tartaglia's fighting spirit was only further ignited. "Then I must challenge him and have a grand battle with him!"

At this moment, Capitano, the Captain, interrupted him in a serious voice: "Tartaglia, courageously challenging strong opponents is commendable, but challenging an opponent you cannot defeat is foolish recklessness. Your current actions are undoubtedly the latter."

Tartaglia said nothing more. While he felt a sense of defiance towards the other Fatui Harbingers, he held nothing but respect for the Captain, thus he offered no further retort.

Pierro tapped the tabletop again, drawing everyone's attention back to the main topic. "Share your thoughts on how we should resolve the current issue?"

Rosalyne scoffed disdainfully. "Perhaps you should ask Arlecchino, the Vice Director of the West Factory, about this issue. I heard that she saved Yide's life back then."

Everyone's gaze unanimously focused on Arlecchino, who was seated in the middle of the meeting table.

She maintained her usual composure and nonchalance. "Rosalyne, attributing your own incompetence to the responsibility of others is undoubtedly a foolish thing to do. Even if I hadn't saved Yide back then, he wouldn't have died. As for being the Vice Director of the West Factory, it's merely a title; the resources and information I can control are extremely limited."

Capitano, the Captain, spoke again: "This matter has nothing to do with Arlecchino; she should not be subjected to any accusations."

He paused slightly, his gaze directly meeting The Doctor, Dottore, who was tinkering with reagent bottles opposite him. "Doctor, Scaramouche is one of yours. Regarding this matter, don't you have anything to say?"

Dottore paused his tinkering and let out a cold laugh. "What is there to say? I'll simply dispatch a Segment to kill Yide, won't that solve the problem? As for Scaramouche, I will bring him back. I've recently devised an interesting experimental plan, and I can't do it without him."
