As Ei was looking at the dead bodies at her feet, Primis gaze was completely on her.
He even glanced at Makoto and confirmed the lack of any expression on her face. As if she didn't mind that her sister killed them.
While the twin sisters were aloof, none of them realized that they were changing.
They were becoming more cold, cruel, and indifferent compared to before.
Just now, Primis told Ei to do whatever she wanted. He never said anything about kill them.
Yet, without a second of hesitation she slayed them. Even Makoto didn't try to reason with her sister to stop her.
In case if she was the old Ei then just like the plot, she would have spared them and took them under custody to punish them for their crimes later.
But here she acted completely different. More cold-hearted and ruthless.
Now if you ask if Primis didn't like it or against it then you were wrong. On the contrary, he loved his change.
After all, that's exactly what he wants, cruel and cold-blooded machines who listened and carry out his order without objection and hesitation.
「 Primis: Well. Well. Now this is getting interesting. 」
Hearing his thoughts, both Makoto and Ei looked at him with confusing visible in their eyes since they didn't understand what he meant.
Nevertheless, Primis remained silent.
At this moment, someone else entered the room.
Compared to before when bunch of people came together with the head of Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission, this time only two people came.
The one of them was man around the age of 22-24. He had long pale blue asymmetrical shoulder-length hair, pale skin, and light purple eyes. He also had a small mole under the left corner of his mouth.
Another one was the girl almost same age as Keqing. She had pale skin, light silver-blue eyes with sky blue pupils, and very light waist-length pale blue hair styled in a hime cut in front. She also had a small mole under her left eye.
The man was none other than the current commissioner of Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato. While the girl with her was her younger sister, Kamisato Ayaka.
As for the reason why, Ayato didn't bring soldiers along with him was because his instincts were warning him not to do so.
In this entire life till now, his instincts had saved his life many times. Hence, he trusted them fully.
And behold, he was right.
The moment he took two steps in the Tenshukaku, he smelled the scent of blood and stopped.
When he tried to find the source, his eyes widened when he the blood-stained floor with number of heads and corpses at Raiden Shogun's feet.
He got tensed up and moved his hand towards his sword at his waist. But then he paused for a second and lowered his hand.
He also put his other hand at her sister shoulder and shook his head as if telling her not to do the same.
Ayaka was of course surprised at this but decided to believe her brother and put her sword away.
Taking a deep breath, both brother and sister walked over to Raiden Shogun.
During this whole process, Ei eyes were on them, looking at their every action.
Seeing them approaching her, she couldn't help raise one of her brows.
Ei: Oh. I thought after witnessing this bloody scene, you will either prepare to fight or ran as fast as you can.
Gulping nervously, Ayato showed a wry smile and spoke.
Ayato: I don't think it will be of any use though.
Ei: Is that so.
Ayato: Um. First, if the Almighty Shogun wants to kill us then no matter where we run off to, we will still die. As for the second reason....
Pausing here, he looked at the corpses and saw the heads of Kujou Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke along with others.
Seeing them beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he continued.
Ayato: In case Raiden Shogun really wanted to kill all the heads of tri-commission then she would have waited for all three of us to gather before doing so. Instead of only killing two of them.
Ei: Hmmm.
She took a long hum making both the brother and sister more agitated at each passing second.
She then started walking towards them while her feet left the blood-steps on her wake.
Ei: What if that's exactly I planned to do. But its just that they both started getting on my nerves so decided to end them later before taking care of Kamisato Clan.
She said that with a smile on her face.
Yet, instead of getting mesmerized or daze both started shivering.
Ei: So, what are you going to do now? Fight me.
Ayato: That's...
Ei: Even before when you have vision, I can easily execute you. And now that I have taken them, you are even more powerless.
Yes. You heard it, right. Ei had already taken away their vision before.
Even now when they took back their vision during the time of invasion, the visions were still useless in their hand.
So, everyone thought that Raiden Shogun had did something so that even if they recover their vision, they won't be able to use them. And her words just now put a nail in the coffin. Clearly indicating, she was responsible for it somehow.
Ayato: I... I....
Ei: You what? Where is your confidence coming from? From the Kamisato Clan behind you or…... Shuumatsuban, the assassin organization that works under you
The head of Kamisato Clan couldn't help but flinched hearing that Raiden Shogun knew about this secret organization that he created.
Letting him remained in his thoughts, Ei turned her attention to the Ayaka.
Raising her polearm, she put it blade under Ayaka chin and raised her head, forcing her to look directly at her.
Ei: And what should I do with her? Compared to you Ayato, your sister even has the audacity to pull out her weapon. In case you didn't stop her on time, I am afraid she would have charged at me. So...…what about a take her head and display it as a trophy in my Tenshukaku. It will be a remainder for all those who will visit me to see what will happen to them if they go against me.
By now Ayaka face had already turned pale in fright and she was trembling.
Ayato also had the same expression. As a result, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
Ayato: Please wait a moment, Shogun!
However, at this Ei's smile disappeared and she looked at him with extremely cold eyes.
Realizing his blunder, the man fell on his knees with his head lowered.
THUD!!
Ayato: Please forgive my outburst just now, Almighty Shogun. Not only is Ayaka my younger sister but she also doesn't have much experience in life. That's why she is still naïve. Hence, I will be grateful if you find it in your heart to forgive her.
Ei: Hmmm...…
The Electro Archon didn't reply. Though her gaze returned to Ayaka who was shaking even more violently.
Noticing Raiden Shogun lack of response, Ayato smashed his head hard on the ground.
BANG!!
Ayato: Please, Almighty Shogun. I, no, entire Kamisato Clan is willing to do anything in order to get your gain your forgiveness.
Ayaka: Big…Brother...…
The girl couldn't help but murmur while looking at her brother on his knees, pleading for her mercy. This was the first time, he had seen her always brave, calm, and collected brother to show such weakness. All to save her life.
As a result, her eyes turned watery as tears streamed down her face.
Ei: Hmph.
Snorted coldly, the electro archon lowered her polearm and Ayaka fell on her knees.
THUD!!
The girl was still looking down as she didn't dare to raise her head and look at Raiden Shogun.
Good thing. Because in case she did, she would be sacred shitless.
Why? Because currently Ei was looking down on both the brothers with a chilling smile on her face.
She then turned and walked towards her 'throne'.
Ei: Now that the heads of Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission are dead, it won't be good if Yashiro Commission still exists since there will be objections as many will think that Yashiro Commission is the one responsible for the death of two heads...…... Hence, from now onward, there will be no Tri-Commission only Inazuma Shogunate... Do you understand?
Ayato: Y-Yes, Almighty Shogun.
Ei: Good. Now leave and gather every remaining Inazumans in front of Tenshukaku. While doing so, also spread the news that Kujou Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke try to do Coup d'état here by bring the soldiers of Shogun's army that they turned to their side. Hence. Raiden Shogun eliminated them. And also said that you both witnessed everything with your own eyes.
Ayato: Wha-- But that's....
However, his words trailed off as Ei gave him a side eye.
Ei: What were you saying?
Ayato: W-We understand.
When the electro archon nodded, Ayato took Ayaka and hurriedly left.
And by the time they left the vicinity of Tenshukaku, he found himself turned in sweat. Clearly, indicating how tense he was in Raiden Shogun's presence.
He then glanced back at the huge building for a second before leaving.
Now, neither of them had any intention or thought of going against Raiden Shogun.
There was only one thing that deeply rooted in their hearts.
Fear.
.

.
.
Back in Tenshukaku.
Primis was looking at Ei who was walking towards him after she was done dissolving the Tri-Commission.
Even though he seemed indifferent on the surface, his mind was deep in thought.
「 Primis: The way she solved this...that pressure and smile......…. Ei is becoming not only more dominating but also sadist.........And you know what...............…. I like it. 」
Ei: Ahem.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Primis looked at her and asked.
Primis: What is it?
Ei: Nothing.
She replied almost instantly with a stern expression.
Though Primis could see a tint of red on face.
Shaking his head, he decided not to give it much thought.
Primis: It will take time fore people to gather. So, instead of waiting, let's check how Yae Miko is doing.
Nodding they both touched his arm and in the next second, the space wrapped and they disappeared.
Leaving the room in silence again.
.
.
.
.
.
At the top of Mt. Yougou.
The space wrapped and three people walked out.
Looking around, they saw the place was already clean with just a small shrine in the middle.
ZAP!!
Hearing this sound, they turned their head and saw an electric totem in the shape of fox at the edge of the cliff.
And it was not the only one. There were more.
All of them were at the edge with the distance of one meter between each of them.
Ei: There are…Miko's summon.
???: Yes. They are called Sesshou Sakura.
At this time, Yae Miko came out of the shrine.
Looking at them, she first bowed to Primis before started explaining her summons.
Yae Miko: These Sesshou Sakura periodically strikes the enemies with lightning. And with other Sesshou Sakuras nearby, it boosts the power of the lightning strikes.
Primis eyes swept through all these Sesshou Sakuras on the mountain before he opened his mouth.
Primis: If there are multiple enemies, will they focus on striking one of them or random.
Yae Miko: Well, that's random. But if you want, I can change it.
Primis: Then set them in a way that in case of multiple enemies appear, five of them focus on one opponent before moving on to the next one.
Yae Miko: Ok.
Primis: Makoto. Ei. Put a wisp of your divinity in them. It will make them stronger.
Ei: Um.
Makoto: Yes, my Lord.
As they got busy in their work, Primis again disappeared from his spot.
.
.
.
.
Inazuma City.
Returning back to the city, Primis stood in front of the fallen and somewhat destroyed Statue of the Omnipresent God.
Steeping forward, he put his hand on the statue and heard countless voices.
These ambitions and Wills belonged to the people who lost their visions.
These voices can easily overwhelm anyone's mind.
However, who's Primis? He's the ruler of Guilty Crown.
As a result, he absorbed all of them and sealed them in the crystals in his Guilty Crown.
Once he did so and removed his hand, cracks started appearing on the statue.
CRACK!!
CRACK!!
CRACK!!
...
…
Not giving it much thought, he disappeared and return back to Mt. Yuoguo again.
.
.
.
.
.
Mondstadt.
At the same time, Primis absorbed all the ambitions, Lumine also reached her destination.
Currently she was standing in front of the once frozen mountain which had changed greatly compared to the last time, she visited.
Lumine: To think, I will come back here again...…A place where I fought that creature for the first time and also the place where...............I died in future.
Sighing, she shook her head.
Lumine: Let's see what more secrets you hold.........Dragonspine.
