Tenryou Commission.
After the confrontation, Kujou Sara was deeply disappointed in her family head.
"I once doubted in my heart, was enforcing the Vision Hunt Decree truly correct? Even if it went against my sense of righteousness, was it worth it?"
"But I still made up my mind, as long as it was the path the Shogun guided, who could judge right or wrong before reaching the end?"
"But only now do I know that the path to eternity has no end, and this path... has long been stained with filth because of your selfishness."
"So, I'm going to tell the Shogun the truth about all this. If nothing else, my conscience will be clear!"
Kujou Takayuki: "Stubborn and futile..."
"Report to the Shogun if you so wish. The Kujou Clan's position is now unshakable, and nothing you can do will change this."
"The Shogun is currently in Tenshukaku, meeting with an envoy from Snezhnaya—the Harbinger known as the Signora."
Lumine and Paimon immediately reacted.
"Signora?!"
Kujou Sara: "An envoy from Snezhnaya? Perfect, she shouldn't think she can leave Inazuma unscathed!"
With that, Kujou Sara rushed out.
Paimon: "Sara rushed out, is she going to force her way into Tenshukaku?"
Lumine also said, "Good, we also have a lot of things to settle with the Signora."
---
Tenshukaku.
When Lumine and Paimon arrived, Kujou Sara had already fallen.
Rosalyne: "Storming in, one after another... If I didn't know this was Tenshukaku, I'd probably mistake it for a street market or something."
"Now, you should be a bit more sensible."
Rosalyne looked at Kujou Sara lying on the ground, her tone disdainful.
"Ah, Kujou Sara was... by the Signora."
As soon as Paimon finished speaking, the previously silent Raiden Shogun suddenly spoke.
"The transgressions of Inazuma's citizens shall be punished by me. You have no right, Signora."
"...Then I apologize, Almighty Shogun."
Rosalyne looked indifferent, as if the person standing in front of her and speaking to her was not the god of Inazuma.
"Signora!"
Rosalyne turned her head: "I know, I know, you can't get me out of your mind. But you really don't need to call my name all the time."
"Don't go thinking I'm surprised to see you here. I'm well aware that you hate me, with the way you follow me around like a dark shadow."
Lumine spoke of what the Signora had done in Inazuma, but the Signora was completely unconcerned.
"Mere nobodies whose names wouldn't even be remembered, to participate in this revolution to reach eternity, becoming stepping stones..."
Rosalyne looked down at the unconscious Kujou Sara: "Isn't this already a great honor for their fleeting lives?"
Finally, the Signora even foolishly looked at the Raiden Shogun:
"Almighty Shogun... do correct me if I'm wrong?"
The Raiden Shogun closed her eyes and snorted coldly.
Lumine continued: "And in Mondstadt, you stole Venti's Gnosis; in Liyue, you put the common people in danger..."
"Shut up!"
Rosalyne suddenly yelled: "Don't mention Mondstadt in front of me! Barbatos, that useless person, has always been in Mondstadt, yet he can't even protect his own people. Is he even the real Archon of Anemo?!"
"Years ago, he couldn't save his people, and years later, he still couldn't. Where was he when Rustam sacrificed himself? Where was he when Ruola sacrificed herself?!"
"He's just an arrogant idiot who can't do anything right!"
As she spoke these words, Rosalyne's eyes turned red, clearly enraged to the extreme.
Lumine and Paimon never expected Signora to react so strongly to the mention of Mondstadt.
The players in the live stream also didn't expect it.
In the main story, there was no segment where Ruola and the Signora knew each other.
There were in the side quests, but they were very well hidden, and few people found them.
: "She said Ruola?"
: "How come the Signora seems to know Ruola very well?"
: "Impossible, would someone like Ruola know someone like the Signora?"
: "Someone like Ruola would know everyone, I don't find it strange."
: "Anyway, they're about to fight, I've been annoyed with the Signora for a while."

Inside Tenshukaku.
After venting her anger, Rosalyne looked at Lumine:
"The Tsaritsa's dream is the noblest and purest thing in all the world. These other mundane details you insist on mentioning... They're just necessary sacrifices. That's all."
Although Lumine was curious about the Signora's recent reaction, now was not the time to consider that.
"It's time we settled this, Signora!"
"Heh, yes, I'm also tired of your face, but I didn't expect you to be such a brave but reckless person..."
"Before you go saying something you can't take back, remember that you're Inazuma's most wanted criminal... I suggest you consider your circumstances very carefully."
"Charging into Tenshukaku uninvited and lecturing me in front of the Shogun wasn't the brightest move. Don't you think it's time you stopped digging? I'm not sure you realize quite how much distance there is between us, both in status... and in strength."
Lumine had already thought of this, and she had already prepared for it, otherwise she wouldn't have foolishly come here.
"I want to challenge you... to a Duel before the Throne!"
The Raiden Shogun suddenly opened her eyes and nodded.
"Proceed."

Arataki Gang's headquarters.
At this time, Yunling had completely recovered, and her second sister would no longer restrict her freedom.
With Kujou Sara no longer overseeing the Shogunate army, and with passive defense from top to bottom, the resistance was now almost ready to land on Narukami Island.
And what was happening at Tenshukaku was precisely Lumine and the Signora's Duel before the Throne.
Yunling found an opportunity and slipped out.
Speaking of which, she was also a member of the resistance. Going to Tenshukaku to scout ahead shouldn't be a problem, right?
This was the final climax of the Inazuma storyline, and perhaps she could truly meet Raiden Ei.
Additionally, Yunling had another reason to go outside Tenshukaku, which was to slightly "cooperate" with Anqi to save the Signora in case of an accident.
At the same time, Anqi also quietly sneaked into Tenshukaku.
---
Inside Tenshukaku.
The duel before the throne was in full swing.
After the incident with Ruola earlier, Lumine's power had grown much stronger, and her battle with the Signora was not difficult.
Seeing that her cryo elemental power could not cause damage to Lumine, Rosalyne encased herself in solid ice, using red flames to burn herself, transforming into the Crimson Witch of Flames.
Unfortunately, she was still no match for Lumine, and ultimately ended up defeated.
"Your power... how could it be..."
Rosalyne looked at her hands, unable to believe that she had actually lost?
She actually lost to that hateful Traveler?!
"Hmph!"
Paimon put her hands on her hips, feeling incredibly proud.
"Hahahahaha—"
Rosalyne suddenly laughed maniacally, pointing at Lumine and Paimon:
"Do you think I'll sadly beg for your mercy? You must really want to see me beg, I tell you, impossible!"
"It's just death, I should have died many years ago. I won't be redeemed, and I never needed redemption, never!"
