Chapter 122: Puppeteer

Words : 804 Updated : Sep 25th, 2025

In essence, Ye didn't need to be involved in this part of the story. If you paid close attention, you'd notice that Ei had shown Lumine mercy. That's right, Ei. From the color of her eyes, it was clear that during the part where the Raiden Shogun wanted to kill Lumine, Ei had taken over. That's why Thoma and Lumine were able to escape. Compared to the Raiden Shogun, Ei was indeed too soft-hearted. She knew the Traveler was innocent, so she never intended to kill her. It was precisely because she was the Raiden Shogun that she could resolutely carry out the Vision Hunt Decree and uphold the will of eternity. But as Ei, she couldn't maintain that resolve. Though it might sound a bit off, Ei was truly too gentle. Therefore, Ye didn't actually need to appear in this part of the story. But... taking the opportunity to make an appearance and earn some favor from the player wasn't a bad idea, right? So, Ye made his entrance as planned. And, as expected, he faced Ei's bone-chilling killing intent. That's right, it was Ei. The one slashing at Ye now wasn't the puppet Raiden Shogun, but Ei herself. Well, it's understandable. After all, Ye had unknowingly played with her in shared dreams countless times! Not just Ei, but even the Raiden Shogun and even Makoto hadn't been spared. Under these circumstances, it's no wonder Ei wanted to kill him. However, Ye had long been mentally prepared for this. That's why he had strengthened himself beforehand. Originally, in his current state, Ye's chances of defeating Ei were slim to none. After all, he wasn't skilled in combat, especially not in this state. But Baoyu was omnipotent. If Ye wanted to strengthen himself, he truly could. The "Puppeteer" skill was meant to shine in moments like this. So... "Crack—!!!!!!!" Clang!!!!!!!!! A sword blocked Ei's blade. From the initial shattered space, a petite figure leaped out, her sword clashing with the Raiden Shogun's. Golden, majestic eyes, snow-white hair, three pairs of pure white wings, and an outfit woven with white and gold, revealing large patches of snowy skin. On her left hand, five white rings and a bracelet were connected by dazzling golden chains. Finally, there was the gorgeous one-handed sword that had blocked the Raiden Shogun's strike... "Rea?! No! Themis?!" Paimon covered her mouth in shock. That's right, it was Themis. The second knight of the Holy Church, the Knight of the Void, Themis. At this moment, the animated cutscene gave a close-up. From the Supreme Bishop's raised left hand, five pale blue energy threads connected to Themis. Then, the scene shifted to the Supreme Bishop's face. Now, the Supreme Bishop had half-carried Lumine with his right arm and was walking toward the shattered space. "Follow me." Hearing this, Paimon and Thoma immediately reacted and followed behind Ye. The Raiden Shogun's eyes turned cold, while the Supreme Bishop's left hand fingers slightly moved. It was as if he were playing the piano. As the Supreme Bishop's fingers danced, Themis swung her sword, clashing with the Raiden Shogun, not backing down an inch. For a moment, the wind and thunder roared, sweeping through the heavens and earth. "Who are you?" Ei, her sword locked with the white-haired, golden-eyed girl, asked with a hint of confusion. She could clearly see that the girl's ability to withstand her was entirely due to the unknown power continuously flowing from the man to her. But even excluding that, the girl's martial skills were equally peerless. But... were those truly the girl's skills? As the man stepped into the shattered space, the five energy threads connecting to the girl snapped and disappeared. Ei immediately felt the girl's martial skills and power drop by more than a level. In the blink of an eye, Ei suppressed her and forced her back with a slash. The shattered space was gradually healing, and Ei no longer had any intention to attack. The person she wanted to kill had already escaped. So, Ei simply looked at the girl and asked calmly: "Tell me, who is he, and who are you?" Themis flapped her wings, facing the Raiden Shogun, and slowly floated backward, gradually disappearing into the shattered space. At the same time, she coldly said: "Second Knight of the Holy Church, Themis of the Void." The space gradually healed, and peace returned to the scene. "Sh-Shogun, those people just now..." Hearing the Tenryou Commission's question, the Raiden Shogun remained silent for a moment before indifferently saying: "Add them to the Vision Hunt Decree, and convey my orders to Sen'emon... Execute them."
