"Saint Tenzi, I hope you thoroughly investigate this dream incident. 10."
"Please apprehend all Initiators and conduct a centralized review to identify any variants."
"Execute the variants! Execute them!"
"No, all Initiators should be executed. Our world doesn't need the existence of these non-humans."
"They have cute human appearances but can transform into Gastrea monsters at any time. They are inherently abnormal."
"Execute the abnormals! Execute the abnormals!"
"We have giant stone monuments that can alter magnetic fields to form protective barriers, we have railguns and weapons that can resist Gastrea. We don't need these abnormals mingling in the human world."
"Yes! We don't need them..."
"..."
On the rooftop of a tall building.
A masked man quietly watched everything unfolding below.
Hiruko Kagetane, a man so deranged he longed for the world to descend into chaos.
At this moment, however, he appeared unusually quiet.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Could the person who appeared in that dream really be a variant among the Initiator Damselettes?"
"This is too bizarre."
He then looked at the equally quiet Damselette not far from him.
Hiruko Kohina, an Initiator he had chosen. As Kohina's Promoter, Kagetane was like a parent to her.
Kohina was an Initiator with the mantis-type Gastrea virus, a Damselette skilled in wielding several katanas.
She, who should have been as mad as him, had been remarkably quiet ever since she obtained the glass bead.
This quietness was not the quietness of thought, but a true sense of inner peace.
Kagetane couldn't understand what was happening.
However, at this moment, a bright Light of Day suddenly flashed across the sky.
The Light of Day seemed to envelop the entire world.
"This is!"
Kagetane instinctively covered his eyes with his hand.
All the people parading on the street below also scattered like startled birds, crouching on the ground, terrified by the sudden light.
"What's happening?"
Saint Tenzi, who was about to go out and calm the public, was also startled by the light and stumbled back repeatedly.
However, what surprised her even more was yet to come.
The moment the light vanished, Saint Tenzi's body seemed to lose control and began to float into the sky.
"Saint Tenzi!"
Tendo Kikunojo was greatly alarmed at the sight.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly save Saint Tenzi!"
"It must, it must be those Gastrea Initiators who did something."
Bizarre, too bizarre.
Saint Tenzi floated slowly upwards, as if weightless.
At Kikunojo's roar, the Gardes immediately leapt high, reaching out their hands to grab Saint Tenzi's legs and pull her down.
But the next second, something even more bizarre happened.
The yellow glass bead at Saint Tenzi's waist suddenly flashed with a light, enveloping Saint Tenzi within it.
Incidentally, the Gardes whose hands were caught by the light were severed instantly, as if cut by a sharp blade.
"This is... impossible..."
The Gardes' screams instantly stunned everyone around them.
They stared blankly at the ascending Saint Tenzi.
It seemed nothing could stop her ascent wherever she passed.
Even if she hit a wall, the wall would instantly be torn apart by some force.
"Kohina?"
Kagetane looked at Kohina floating in mid-air with surprise.
Following Kohina's gaze, he saw a white-haired man in blue, holding a staff, standing quietly in the sky in the distance.
He was observing everything below with indifferent eyes.
The battle plan: eliminate all creatures in this world without a Vision.
Not just humans, but also Gastrea.
Nahida's battle plan was relatively simple.
She ordered Neuvillette to connect with Vision wearers while declaring the war had begun.
The other Elemental Dragon Lords would reveal their true forms, destroy the giant stone monuments, and break the barriers.
Nahida would use her authority to command the few Regulus-type Gastrea in this world to lead a great army and cleanse everything.
After the war, the Seven Elemental Dragon Lords would deliver the final blow to the Gastrea.
"Hey, what's going on with that person?"
"I don't know, why are all these Cursed Children floating into the sky?"
"I'm not sure, look, it seems even Saint Tenzi is floating up with them."
"Oh no, could that mutated Cursed Child be trying to harm Saint Tenzi?"
"..."
Obtuse!
Even as they witnessed the birth of a miracle, in the eyes of these humans, they still believed it was a mutated Cursed Child causing trouble.
Neuvillette felt a surge of irritation in his heart.
Fortunately, before this, Nahida had already used her authority to revive those obedient Damselettes who had lost their sight due to their obedience.
Otherwise, Neuvillette would have personally intervened and blasted the people below into dust.
"Silence!"
Neuvillette tapped his long staff into the void.
Instantly, a white light spread out from him in all directions.
"Ignorant humans."
"The gods have already delivered a divine oracle to save you."
"Not only do you not humbly accept the salvation bestowed upon you by the gods, but you also exacerbate the corruption of your own hearts."
"You even slander the gods as variants."
"Those who blaspheme the gods shall not be forgiven."
"All who possess noble and kind hearts are great people."
"They shall be spared from the divine punishment brought down by the gods this time."
Furina: "I'm not convinced. Why does Neuvillette seem to have more presence than me? I'm the God of Justice next door; wouldn't this make me look bad?"
Neuvillette: "..."
Amber: "Hehe, Miss Furina is so funny, she actually cares that Neuvillette has more presence than her in judgment."
Clorinde: "Lady Furina, every time there's a trial, you just sit there to watch the show. Compared to Lord Neuvillette, who has presided over trials for five hundred years, it's understandable to be a little less impressive in judgment."
Paimon: "You're really something, Furina. This is like getting a good deal and still complaining, isn't it? In the Parallel Teyvat World, your status is even higher than Focalors'. While the other Seven Archons gather and wait outside the main hall before meetings, you secretly go off to watch whales. Who can compare to how awesome you are?"
Zhongli: "Indeed, the Furina of the Parallel Teyvat World has more courage on Celestia than the rest of us Archons."
Venti: "It looks like Su Bai spoils her a lot."
Lumine: "Could there be something going on between those two?"
Lisa: "Oh?"
Jean: "..."
Furina: "Hey, don't talk nonsense! How could someone as unworthy as me be noticed by such a great person? Besides, it's free time before the meeting, and I didn't do anything wrong by watching a whale. I wasn't even late for the meeting!"
Yae Miko: "If you were noticed, you'd be secretly overjoyed, wouldn't you?"
Furina: "Yes, ah... no... don't talk nonsense..."
