Teyvat.
Inazuma, Tenshukaku.
"I'm here, I heard you wanted to see me, right?"
Yae Miko walked into the room and said, looking at the Raiden Shogun kneeling on the tatami. Of course, the person she was talking to was not the Raiden Shogun, but the true Electro Archon of Teyvat within the Raiden Shogun's body, Raiden Ei.
As Yae Miko's words fell, a darkness enveloped Yae Miko, and when the surroundings became bright again, Yae Miko found herself in Raiden Ei's Plane of Euthymia.
"You're finally willing to see me. Let me think, when was the last time we met?" Yae Miko walked up to Raiden Ei, who was resting her chin on one hand, as if deep in thought.
"Miko, what do you think about Takagi's power of resurrection?" Raiden Ei asked.
"Getting straight to the point? I thought we could chat for a bit first, that's disappointing." Yae Miko sighed and said.
Raiden Ei just looked at Yae Miko quietly, without speaking.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about the resurrection ability Takagi displayed. After all, what's happening at the Space Station is still ongoing. The sooner we finish talking, the sooner we can continue to pay attention to what's happening over there." Yae Miko shrugged, her expression suddenly becoming serious.
Yae Miko: "Ei, you want to resurrect them, right?"
Ei: "Yes!"
Although Yae Miko didn't mention names, Raiden Ei knew that the people Yae Miko was referring to were her former retainers. Of course, there was also Raiden Ei's older sister, Raiden Makoto.
"Do you think Takagi's power of resurrection can resurrect someone who has been dead for a long time?" Raiden Ei asked with a serious expression.
"That's a good question. As for me, I naturally hope that Takagi can resurrect those who have been dead for a long time. But the answer to this question, unless Takagi demonstrates the power to resurrect someone who has been dead for a long time in front of us, otherwise, we can only ask Lord Takagi himself." Yae Miko said.
Ei: "Then shall we ask Takagi in the forum?"
Yae Miko shook her head and said: "Although that's one way, is Takagi really willing to answer us? With such a miraculous power, Takagi is not obligated to tell us the details, right? Besides, asking Takagi so casually is a bit impolite."
Ei frowned: "Then how do you think we should ask him?"
Upon hearing this, a cunning smile appeared on Yae Miko's face. "How about this, why don't we invite Takagi to visit Inazuma? If we use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Takagi, then we will naturally have more opportunities to ask questions of Sir Takagi."
Hearing this, Raiden Ei immediately frowned. It must be known that Inazuma was already in a state of isolation, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Not to mention that Takagi also had the ability to take Inazuma people away from Inazuma to the universe. For such a person, Raiden Ei and the Raiden Shogun both did not welcome his arrival. But now, the power of resurrection that Takagi displayed truly made Raiden Ei want to understand it.
For a time, Raiden Ei became extremely conflicted. After all, this was related to whether she could see the important people who had passed away.
Yae Miko saw this and further said: "Moreover, although Takagi resurrected the Fatui Harbinger, from his conversation with her, it doesn't seem easy for Sir Takagi to resurrect someone casually. Otherwise, Takagi would have resurrected La Signora the moment she died. I think, for Takagi, La Signora is someone he neither dislikes nor likes. So, he hesitated to resurrect her. However, if it were someone Takagi liked or admired, the probability of Takagi resurrecting that person, or helping them resurrect others, would be greater. Ei, don't you think we should invite Takagi to Inazuma and build a good relationship with him?"
Raiden Ei's frown deepened. She looked up at Yae Miko: "Doesn't this mean Inazuma would have to abolish its Sakoku Decree? This is unfavorable to 'Eternity'."
Yae Miko sighed and said, "Eternity, Eternity. Not being isolated doesn't necessarily mean Eternity cannot be upheld. Why are you so insistent?"
Despite her words, seeing Ei's expression, Yae Miko knew she hadn't convinced Raiden Ei. This made Yae Miko realize that she shouldn't even dream of getting Raiden Ei to wear black or white stockings and stand before Takagi. Yae Miko could understand this; after all, although Takagi had displayed the power to bring the dead back to life, it was ultimately only resurrecting the Fatui Harbinger who had just died and whose body was still intact. If Takagi could resurrect someone who had been dead for a long time out of thin air, Yae Miko believed Raiden Ei would absolutely not hesitate, and would even choose to proactively approach Takagi.
"That's all I'll say for now. Whether to invite Takagi or not, you can think about it carefully. But you'd best think quickly. After all, after Takagi displayed the power to bring the dead back to life, the Seven Nations of Teyvat will probably all want to invite Takagi as a guest. Don't let it come to a point where you want to host Takagi, but he is unwilling to come to Inazuma," Yae Miko said gloomily.
Hearing this, Raiden Ei only felt her mood grow more irritated, as if a weight was pressing on her chest, preventing her from breathing freely.
"How about this, before you make up your mind, I'll leave Inazuma first and try to meet Takagi. At least, let me first ascertain whether Takagi has the power to resurrect those who have been dead for a long time," Yae Miko tentatively asked Raiden Ei.
Yae Miko was equally anxious about the possibility of the Seven Nations of Teyvat inviting Takagi. After all, the people Raiden Ei wanted to resurrect were also the people she wanted to resurrect. So, she also wanted to see Takagi quickly. In other circumstances, she would rather stay in Inazuma and let Raiden Ei agonize a bit longer. That way, perhaps Inazuma's Sakoku Decree could be lifted. But now, with Takagi being targeted by other countries, Yae Miko couldn't afford to wait for Raiden Ei to come to her senses and abolish the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree.
"You want to leave Inazuma?" Raiden Ei frowned, looking at Yae Miko.
Yae Miko: "Unless you don't want to resurrect them at all."
Ei: "..."
Seeing Ei fall silent, Yae Miko also stopped speaking, quietly watching Raiden Ei. After a short while, Raiden Ei let out a long sigh. "I understand. I will allow you to leave Inazuma."
As Raiden Ei's words fell, Yae Miko realized she had already left the Plane of Euthymia and returned to the Tenshukaku.
"She really doesn't want to talk about anything else with me. Never mind, I still need to go back and make some preparations quickly. Perhaps I should prepare some stockings or something," Yae Miko muttered to herself, stepping out of the Tenshukaku.
After the Raiden Shogun watched Yae Miko leave, she suddenly spoke: "You allowed her to leave. This does not conform to 'Eternity'." Her words were, of course, directed at Raiden Ei in the Plane of Euthymia.
Ei: "Her actions will not affect Eternity. If they can truly be resurrected and return, they might even assist Inazuma in approaching Eternity more easily."
Raiden Shogun: "But seeking help from Takagi could lead to Takagi taking Inazuma people to the universe. In that case, Inazuma will no longer be unchanging, no longer Eternal!"
Ei: "Therefore, I merely allowed Miko to temporarily leave to inquire whether Takagi can truly resurrect those who have been dead for a long time."
Raiden Shogun: "...Since you have made your decision, this body shall obey you."
Having said that, the Raiden Shogun closed her eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep. Conversely, Raiden Ei in the Plane of Euthymia, watching the situation of Takagi and others on the Teyvat Forum, found her heart unable to calm down for a long time...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Fontaine.
Café Lucerne.
"Uncle Marcel, do you think Sir Takagi has the power to resurrect those who have been dead for a long time?" Navia, the current President of the Spina di Rosula, suppressed her excitement and looked at Marcel beside her.
"Navia, you want to resurrect your father, don't you?" Marcel, who was Vacher, concealed his excitement, looking at Navia with a concerned expression.
"Yes, of course," Navia said without hesitation: "And if father can be resurrected, he will surely be able to provide a lot of information about the serial killer of young girls in Fontaine. That way, no one in Fontaine will die because of that hateful serial killer anymore."
The excited Navia did not notice the hint of malice that flashed in Marcel's eyes after he heard her words. Marcel smiled and gently said to Navia: "Yes, if your father can come back to life, then no more young girls in Fontaine will die because of that killer. However, what's more important to me is that you can be reunited with your father." At this moment, Marcel was like a truly caring elder to Navia.
Navia: "Thank you, Uncle Marcel."
Marcel nodded, looking at Takagi on the forum live screen, and murmured: "I think, with the power that Sir Takagi has displayed, as well as his mysterious nature, he has a very high probability of possessing the power to resurrect those who have been dead for a long time. Navia, perhaps we should find a way to make contact with Takagi."
Navia first nodded, then sighed again: "But even if Sir Takagi returns to the continent of Teyvat, it's difficult for him to stay in one place. With his abilities, he can instantly go to any place in Teyvat, right? Even if we go to Mondstadt now, we might not be able to see him there. Uncle Marcel, didn't you also give up going to Mondstadt for this reason?"
Hearing this, Marcel also sighed: "That's right. Looking at the current situation, it's better to look forward to getting Lord Takagi's ticket during the next trip. After all, this way, we can be sure to see Lord Takagi. Before that, we can only hope that we are not people Takagi dislikes. After all, if they are the type of people he dislikes, the probability of getting his help will also decrease."
Speaking of this, Marcel felt a little worried. He was afraid that a serial killer of young girls like himself would be difficult to gain Takagi's appreciation. But at the same time, he held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Takagi could be moved by the love story between him and his girlfriend.
"You're right. Before meeting Takagi, we must first try our best to become the kind of person Takagi can appreciate and like," Navia nodded in agreement.
"Since that's the case, why not take this Mora and buy some nice stockings?" Marcel handed some Mora to Navia with a smile.
"Mora? No, no, no, I can't take this Mora. And stockings or something... although everyone is spreading rumors that Takagi likes women who wear stockings, but this shouldn't be the absolute standard for Takagi to appreciate someone, right?" Navia waved her hand and said.
"Perhaps, but to make someone feel good, the first impression is always important. If you can first make Takagi appreciate your appearance, the probability of him liking you will also be higher," Marcel said with a smile.
"Liking or something..." Although Navia knew that Takagi's liking did not equate to feelings like love, a blush still flashed across her face.
"Take it. No matter what, I am your elder. Providing Mora for juniors to buy new clothes is something I can still do," Marcel said, stuffing the Mora into Navia's hand.
Navia: "This... okay, thank you, Uncle Marcel."
Marcel: "You're welcome. Go on, go browse the clothing store."
Navia: "Okay, I understand."
Saying this, Navia got up and quickly walked towards the door. After watching Navia walk out of the room, Marcel's gentle expression instantly turned gloomy. He lowered his head and looked at Takagi on the live stream screen again, muttering to himself:
"Takagi can bring people back from the dead; he will definitely be able to bring my lover back. Even if I can't get a ticket to the Universe or gain the power of Abundance, I must at least ask Takagi to help resurrect my lover. As for you, Navia, it's better that you don't meet Lord Takagi."
Speaking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Marcel's eyes. As the real murderer who killed Navia's father, as the culprit behind the disappearance of many young girls in Fontaine, he didn't want Navia to actually have her poor father resurrected. Before Navia actually meets Takagi and gets Takagi's ticket, she also needs to become a part of the water. Marcel, no, to be precise, Vacher, thought viciously in his heart.
...
Universe.
Herta Space Station.
"That's right, Asta, why don't you activate the Star Destroyer?" March 7th asked in confusion after hearing Takagi ask Asta why she wasn't using the Star Destroyer.
"I want to," Asta sighed and said: "I don't know what happened, but the Space Station and the Star Destroyer attached to it have been hacked. This means that except for the energy shield, the weapons and other equipment on the Space Station cannot be used. The situation with the Star Destroyer is the same. If I could use the Star Destroyer, I would have already blown away those Voidrangers of the Antimatter Legion."
Hearing this, Takagi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Silver Wolf, that guy, even hacked the Star Destroyer. Fortunately, she didn't drive the Star Destroyer away. Otherwise, Asta would probably be crying.
Takagi thought to himself, looking at Asta and saying: "How about this, I'll help you hack the Star Destroyer's program back. Then, you can properly unleash the power of the Star Destroyer."
(Lumine: Can we really see the Star Destroyer display its power?!)
(Alice: The Star Destroyer can blow up a planet, and the Doomsday Beast can also blow up a planet. Now the Star Destroyer is going to face the Doomsday Beast, this is going to be quite a spectacle.)
(Paimon: Traveler, you're too excited. Haven't you never truly seen the Star Destroyer blow up a planet? Now Takagi is just letting Asta use the Star Destroyer to deal with the Doomsday Beast, he didn't say it was going to deal with any planet.)
(Lumine: Uh, that seems to be true.)
(Alice: That's true, but we can still see the power of the Star Destroyer after all. Ah, if only we could go to the Star Destroyer and observe it.)
(Azar: Even if the Star Destroyer can't blow up a planet, it must contain a lot of advanced knowledge. If I could go there and study...)
(Alice: What, do you still want to build a Star Destroyer? I'm not saying you can't, but even if you are the Grand Sage of Sumeru, don't expect to do it.)
(Azar: ...)
(Scaramouche: Compared to seeing if the Star Destroyer can blow up a planet, it's more meaningful to see if the Doomsday Beast can blow up a planet.)
(Pantalone: If the Doomsday Beast can really blow up a planet, the danger level of the Antimatter Legion to Teyvat will go up another notch.)
