The video opened with a low rumble.
Thick storm clouds coiled around Tenshukaku.
A vast crowd gathered below the palace steps, their faces tense, eyes fixed on the spectacle above.
Today was the Hundredth Vision Hunt Ceremony.
In the center of the execution square knelt Thoma, hands bound behind his back, head bowed.
Hovering high above him floated the Raiden Shogun, her expression cold enough to freeze the blood of every onlooker.
She didn't speak.
Her gaze slid past Thoma toward the towering Statue of the Omnipresent God, gleaming ominously under the stormlight.
Then—
She turned her wrist.
Boom—!!
Thunder roared.
A violent surge of Electro ripped through the air as Thoma's Pyro Vision was torn from his body.
It spiraled downward—
Swish—!!
A streak of golden lightning flashed upward from the crowd.
Lumine leapt into the air, caught the Vision mid-fall, and landed on one knee, her hair and cloak whipping in the electrified wind.
[Ayaka: Thoma's Vision—why is it being taken now?!]
[Ayato: Thoma… did you do something you shouldn't have? (Albedo thinking pose)]
[Thoma: Master Ayato, I swear I didn't!! (panic.jpg)]
[Amber: Why is the Traveler interfering?!]
[Lisa: No wonder she was being chased by the Shogun in that other video… hehe.]
The video continued.
Paimon rushed to untie Thoma while Lumine rose, eyes locked with the figure descending through the thunder-split sky.
The Raiden Shogun's gaze sharpened.
"You can wield the elements without a Vision…"
Her voice was ice and judgment woven into one.
"You are an exception."
Each step she took sent ripples of lightning across the plaza.
"And an exception—"
Electro swelled behind her like a tidal wave.
"—is the enemy of eternity."
Her hands opened.
Zzzzzzzz—
A luminous halo appeared behind her, formed of countless turning eyes—
the Wheels of a Hundred Desires.
Her eyes slid shut.
A single point of light ignited at her chest—
Then burst forth—
A blade of pure, condensed thunder slowly extended from her heart.
Musou Isshin.
The eternal blade.
Clang.
The Shogun grasped it, and the skies themselves trembled in fear.
She raised it overhead.
"I will bury you within the Statue of the God."
Her blade swept horizontally—
CRAAAAACK—!!
Space ruptured.
The plaza fractured into violet shards.
Thunder devoured everything.
And the screen went black.
Explosive uproar.
[Itto: HOLY—WHAT WAS THAT?! That was terrifying!!]
[Lisa: Even through a screen… the pressure is overwhelming. (twirls hair, shivers)]
[Xingqiu: To sever space itself… this must be the true Musou no Hitotachi.]
[Amber: What happened to the Traveler after that?!]
[Lumine: Don't worry! I have plot armor—probably!]
[Klee: But why do they call it the "Milky-Scented Slash"?]
[Kaeya: Because she draws the sword from her chest, so naturally—there's a certain… fragrance.]
[Klee: Oohh! I get it! (dangerous knowledge unlocked.jpg)]
[Jean: KAEYA!! Stop teaching Klee weird things!!]
[The Mishearing Maniac: As Kaeya said, since the Shogun draws her sword from her chest, parallel worlds refer to it as the "Milky-Scented Slash." Do you understand now, little tanuki? @Sayu]
[Sayu: Y-you're evil! I'm going to sleep forever!! (tanuki tears.jpg)]
[Sara: BLASPHEMY! ABSOLUTE BLASPHEMY! I will NEVER accept this disgraceful name!!]
[Albedo: The slash Kazuha blocked earlier, and this one… both appear to be glimpses of possible futures, yes?]
[The Mishearing Maniac: You could say that. Just… potential outcomes. ╮(─▽─)╭]
Future or not—
the damage to someone's dignity was already done.
Meanwhile, the public stream went feral.
[Dongsheng: HOLY—THAT SWORD IS HUGE!!]
[Uesugi: I kinda want to get slashed by the Shogun…]
[A-Sheng: No wonder Kazuha's friend wanted to witness her strike for himself!]
[Six-Fingered Joseph: SHOGUN-SAMA!! PLEASE BURY ME TOO!!]
[Chang the Ninth: The slash literally cut the STREAM to black!!]
[Jie Cui Xing Shi: As expected of an Archon!]
[Kujou Takayuki: Behold! A mortal cannot even APPROACH this level of might!]
[AXu: Emperor Ye: "…Try me."]
[Mao Caigong: Musou no Hitotachi? More like MILKY-SCENTED SLASH lol]
[Chang Hu: +1]
[Da Wu: My lord speaks truth!]
By this point, everyone understood.
Yes—this WAS the "Milky-Scented Slash."
The Shogun's majestic, eternal image…
was now immortalized in meme form.
"The Milky-Scented Slash Goddess."
Another Archon had fallen to Bai Hao's editing sorcery.
Inazuma's soldiers and countless Shogun loyalists were shaking with rage.
As for Kujou Sara—
Her face had drained of all color.
Sweat trickled down her back despite the summer heat.
That meme—
that cursed name—
She locked onto a single target in her heart:
The Mishearing Maniac.
Meanwhile, rewards for "One Blade to Seal the Gods" rolled in.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Raiden Shogun for obtaining: Intertwined Fate ×3!]
In the Plane of Euthymia, Ei stared at the floating fates in stunned silence.
A golden text box appeared in her vision:
Intertwined Fate
Collect ten to resurrect Raiden Makoto.
One for reviving a mortal.
Three for reviving a divine familiar.
Ten for reviving a god of the Seven.
A second banner:
[Ding! Congratulations to Kaedehara Kazuha for obtaining:
