Yae Miko knew the seriousness of the matter, so she nodded and followed, walking into the cave.
After entering the cave, as expected, Yae Miko was indeed able to faintly sense a trace of Raiden Ei's aura.
Although it was very vague, she could still barely sense it.
"Is she really here..." Yae Miko murmured in surprise.
"Then Beelzebul's familiar, to reach the consciousness space where Beelzebul currently resides, we'll have to rely on you. You know what to do, don't you?" the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya reminded her at this moment.
Because the consciousness space itself was complex, and the exact location of Raiden Ei was unknown.
Therefore, to reach Raiden Ei's location, Yae Miko had to make a move.
"Mm." Yae Miko nodded, but didn't act immediately.
Instead, she tentatively asked the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya:
"Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind at the last minute and send you somewhere else?"
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya frowned slightly and said coldly:
"I'm here to help Beelzebul and seek cooperation. Are your words perhaps ill-considered?"
"My apologies." Yae Miko bowed her head and apologized.
After this period of observation, Yae Miko had also confirmed one thing.
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya was indeed going to help Raiden Ei escape her predicament.
As for why she would go to such lengths for Inazuma, Yae Miko still hadn't figured it out... Afterwards, Yae Miko didn't dally, closing her eyes.
After a moment, a chaotic portal appeared before her.
This portal was connected to the consciousness space where Raiden Ei currently resided.
After successfully establishing the portal, Yae Miko was about to explain some precautions about the portal to the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya when.
She saw the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya had already walked straight in... Seeing this, Yae Miko sighed helplessly: "Should I say this Archon is meticulous, or that she's overly confident...?"
Yae Miko had also seen that before the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya entered the portal.
Her face wore an expression of absolute confidence.
This indicated that the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya wasn't worried at all about Yae Miko changing her mind at the last minute.
She might even have some means to go to Raiden Ei's location herself.
"Forget it, now I can only rely on that Archon..."
"Sigh~ Ei, that guy, always causing me trouble. Being her familiar is really tiring..."
Yae Miko complained helplessly... In a dark, chaotic space.
Two identical village girls were seen battling each other.
These two village girls.
Were none other than the God of Inazuma, Raiden Ei, and the puppet she created, the Raiden Shogun.
No one knew how long they had been fighting here.
Or when the battle would end.
But it was clear that a hint of fatigue had appeared on Raiden Ei's face.
Because in this consciousness space, the Raiden Shogun was almost immortal; even if Raiden Ei could defeat her.
The Raiden Shogun would quickly recover.
But if Raiden Ei lost once, she would be completely defeated.
Only by truly overpowering the Raiden Shogun in will could she make the Raiden Shogun submit.
Undoubtedly, this was extremely difficult to achieve.
Because when Raiden Ei initially set up the Raiden Shogun's operating logic, she made it very rigid.
Making it rigidly execute the obsession with eternity.
Even though Raiden Ei had changed her mind now, the Raiden Shogun, as a puppet, did not approve of Inazuma's current reforms.
She would even become an enemy to her creator, Raiden Ei.
Bang!
The two village girls in purple robes swiftly collided again, creating huge sparks of lightning.
The current situation had shifted from Raiden Ei's advantage to an even stalemate between the two.
After all, Raiden Ei would also get tired; even as a God, fighting the Raiden Shogun in this space for so many years, a hint of mental fatigue was inevitable.
If this continued to drag on, eventually.
The one to lose could only be Raiden Ei!
Bang!
Another collision, the two village girls separated, their eyes fixed on each other.
Just as the two village girls were about to collide again.
Suddenly, the space behind Raiden Ei distorted.
Then, a pale blue figure appeared in this space.
That was the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya.
The appearance of the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya made Raiden Ei pause slightly, her face showing surprise.
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya, on the other hand, smiled and looked at Raiden Ei, chuckling:
"Oh, Beelzebul, long time no see."
Raiden Ei frowned: "The Archon of Snezhnaya... why are you here...?"
"No, since you're here, does that mean Inazuma...?"
As her voice fell, Raiden Ei's eyes glowed with dazzling lightning, staring intently at the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya.
However, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya was not flustered, chuckling:
"Beelzebul, don't panic. I'm here to help you end this battle, and also for future cooperation between Snezhnaya and Inazuma."
"Seek cooperation?" Raiden Ei raised an eyebrow, finding this proposal very puzzling.
In the past, Inazuma and Snezhnaya had little interaction.
Now, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya suddenly said she wanted to establish friendly cooperation with Inazuma, which was truly peculiar.
As if sensing Raiden Ei's confusion, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya smiled again:
"What? You don't trust me?"
Raiden Ei remained silent for a long time before calmly saying: "What exactly is your intention?"
"Beelzebul, you've become suspicious," the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya chuckled.
Raiden Ei's body immediately exuded a powerful aura, steadily approaching the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya.
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya remained composed:
"Beelzebul, we are not enemies. Also, the most important thing right now is to deal with your stubborn puppet."
Hearing this, the aura around Raiden Ei slowly dissipated.
She glared at the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya with lightning-infused eyes, and said coldly:
"If you have ill intentions towards Inazuma, I will draw my blade and strike you down."
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya shrugged, offering no reply.
Next, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya and Raiden Ei formed a temporary alliance.
This rare duo was confronting the Raiden Shogun.
Facing the intervention of the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya, the Raiden Shogun merely said calmly:
"Another one who dares to disturb the will of eternity?"
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya ignored the Raiden Shogun's words and instead said to Raiden Ei beside her:
"How long have you been fighting that puppet here?"
Raiden Ei pondered for a moment, then said: "About two or three hundred years, I suppose."
Hearing this, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya chuckled:
"To contend with your own puppet for so long, it's truly just like your style, Beelzebul."
"When you set up the logic program for that puppet, did you not consider today's situation?"
