Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

(The Traveler = Emptiness, the Antithesis = Fire. Do you understand?)

(Thunder General = Puppet General. Understand?)

Fantasy gets General Thunder to intervene: "You've been secretly promoting the Evil Eye..."

[Lady] Rosalyn: "Are you in such a hurry to expose my 'crimes' to the general?"

She then distanced herself from the matter entirely: "Hehehe... I'm just a diplomatic envoy from the Winter Solstice. I have no idea what you're talking about."

Paimon: "She doesn't respect us..."

Sora: "For the sake of my comrades who suffered the backlash from the Evil Eye..."

[Lady] Rosalyn: "Stop talking about people and things I don't care about at all."

She glanced at Kujo Sara lying on the ground, her tone full of arrogance: "These insignificant characters, whose names are barely remembered, have been able to participate in this revolution to reach 'eternity,' becoming stepping stones..."

"Isn't this already a great honor for their short lives?"

She looked at General Thunder on the high platform, her tone devoid of any respect: "General, what I said should be correct, right?"

General Thunder, with his eyes closed, hummed...

Kong then complained, "They've also put the people of Liyue in danger..." His implication was that the Fatui would also put Inazuma in danger.

[Lady] Rosalyn: "Bringing up old grudges, huh? You really hold a grudge."

With her hands on her hips and head held high, she declared, "The ideal of the Winter Queen is the noblest and purest thing in the world."

Chen Xi and the other executives agreed (except for Asan).

Rosalyn's next words further enraged the traveler: "Compared to that, what you've mentioned... are nothing more than trivial 'necessary sacrifices.'"

Kong: "It's time to put an end to this."

[Lady] Rosalyn: "Ha, it's over, hahaha..."

He then added sarcastically, "I'm also getting a little tired of your face. But I didn't expect you to be such a reckless and impulsive person."

"Before you start spouting nonsense, did you realize... you're still Inazuma's most wanted criminal? Think about your situation first."

……

"Breaking into the castle tower and spouting nonsense in front of the Emperor, what else is that but walking into a trap?"

"I hope you can recognize the gap between us, whether it's in status or ability."

Sora was utterly enraged: "I will—challenge you to a duel before the Emperor!"

[Lady] Rosalyn snorted coldly, expressing her disdain for the traveler.

General Thunder nodded in approval: "Yes."

[Lady] Rosalyn: "So, you've got that trick up your sleeve... You've also learned to exploit the 'rules' of this country?"

"To be able to bring us to an equal footing, I admit, is somewhat unexpected."

"But the loser... will die, you know? Have you thought this through?"

Paimon, worried about Kong's safety: "Traveler..."

[Lady] Rosalyn: "Hehehe...then let me condescend to dance with you until the end of your life."

Then the two sides began to fight, and [Lady] Rosalyn recited her opening remarks with an air of self-importance: "To this day, the power and elegance of the executive are displayed, as you wish."

……

Got it, villains die from talking too much. Why is [Lady] talking so much nonsense? Why not just start fighting?

However, Chen Xi was quite pleased with this scene, as it was a good opportunity to watch the show. He shared some melon seeds with Lei Yingdian and the "scholar," and the three of them ate melon seeds while watching the spectacle.

Chen Xi asked, "Who do you think will win between the two of them?"

Lei Movie: "[Lady]".

"Scholar": "[Ms.]"

Chen Xi believes the Traveler will win: "I disagree with the two of you. I think the Traveler will win."

The scholar became somewhat interested: "Oh? Why?"

Chen Xi: "He is the one who will ascend to the throne of God in the future. We can't afford to offend him."

"Scholar": "Interesting. I've never heard you speak so highly of me before."

Chen Xi was speechless: "..." How can these be the same? He can live for tens of thousands of years and he's still the protagonist, are you?

He came to Chen Xi's side and played with her hair: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

After struggling for a while, Chen Xi managed to utter these few words: "...You are a genius, but those old fogies in the Order of the Instruction are blind to your talent."

The scholar seemed to appreciate the compliment, pulling Chen Xi into his arms and rubbing Chen Xi's stomach. The boy's body was soft, like a kitten snuggling against him.

The more you look at this face, the more you like it. He raised the young god who had not yet grown up by his side, and defiled the god several times. The little god will still be his when he grows up, and no one can take him away.

……

Soon, after a hard-fought battle, [Lady] Rosalyn finished the first two phases, and the Traveler won.

According to the rules of the "Duel Before the Emperor," the loser will be executed by the Shogun.

Chen Xi and the "scholar" were still watching the show from the sidelines, showing no intention of helping the "lady" at all. The two were even discussing what to eat for dinner.

General Thunder descended from the platform, sword in his left hand, and approached the [Lady]. Their demise was inevitable, yet the [Lady] was unwilling to accept it.

She steadied herself to her feet and threatened General Thunder: "I am Winter's envoy. You know the consequences of taking action against me..."

The woman spoke while backing away: "I swear, if you really raise your knife against me, I will make your country..."

"The foolish crowd will give you the Inazuma they cherish..."

However, General Thunder ignored her threats and intimidation. A ring of lightning appeared behind him, his eyes emitted a purple light, and lightning elements appeared on his blade as he walked towards the lady.

She was clearly terrified and even tried to command General Thunder: "Stop! I command you!"

"You! And all of you!"

Chen Xi could tell that she was blaming herself and the "scholars" for not saving her.

But what does this have to do with them? It's all because [Lady] was too presumptuous. In Mondstadt, she thought the Anemo Archon was easy to bully and ripped him out of his heart. In Liyue, Zhongli spoke to her calmly, making her think the Geo Archon was too old to beat her, and she obtained the Heart of God through a trade. But now in Inazuma, the Thunder General doesn't tolerate her at all.

"Me! How could I..."

The lady charged straight at General Thunder, intending to once again rip out the god's heart, but General Thunder preemptively struck with his blade, then swung it again, unleashing a dense bolt of lightning upon the lady, who died.

Only powerful traces of lightning element and relics remained on the spot—the mask of mourning.

Chen Xi's inner thoughts: I think I can tell the Hall of Rebirth now, a grand funeral. It's just a pity that there are no remains, not even ashes. But at least there's that person wearing the mourning mask.
