The moment Yae Miko appeared, Ei seemed somewhat displeased.

"Miko, is this your scheme?"

The fox smiled smugly. "Don't forget who taught you to embed your consciousness into objects."

Miko leaned close to Lumine's ear. "Your wish alone isn't enough to overcome Ei's will."

"Though you stand here alone, their wishes have long been entrusted to you."

In an instant, Lumine experienced the same sensation as when she first touched the Statue of the Omnipresent God.

Countless people's wishes flashed through her mind.

Miko prompted her, "Now, close your eyes."

Lumine obediently complied—after all, there was no way she could defeat the Raiden Shogun otherwise.

'I hope the Vision Hunt Decree can be abolished.'

'Abolish the Vision Hunt Decree!'

...

The wishes of countless Inazumans ignited within the Plane of Euthymia, shining like a sky full of stars.

Lumine readjusted her stance—now, she was unimaginably strong!

Mu Yang watched this scene unfold and couldn't help but marvel at the protagonist's plot armor.

With her "cheat" activated and Mu Yang's special training, Lumine easily handled Raiden Ei.

After several rounds, Ei was indeed at a disadvantage.

Her naginata had even been knocked away—though she still hadn't gone all out.

Because it was time for the scripted conclusion.

Miko stepped forward and declared, "You've lost, Ei."

Ei conceded gracefully. "Yes... I admit defeat."

"Why couldn't you trust your people and believe in the power of their wishes?"

"Those wishes have transcended distance, space, and time—they can no longer be extinguished by anyone."

Lumine added that when someone strives relentlessly for their wish, they can surpass even a god's expectations.

Their words finally reached Ei's heart—but 'loss' was the root of her suffering.

Through Ei's narration, the players and Lumine finally understood how many important people she had lost along the way.

She had witnessed a nation running at full speed, only to lose everything before the Heavenly Principles.

Only by freezing time could the lightning's glow remain undiminished.

'The present' is a fragile illusion.

Only 'eternity' is closest to the Heavenly Principles.

From that moment on, she was no longer Ei.

"This body is the noblest and most eminent of all, destined to wield supreme authority over the world."

"This body shall grant its people an unchanging dream—an eternal utopia that shall endure for millennia."

Yae Miko scoffed at her words. "The Heavenly Principles... mean nothing to me."

"In short, you just want to protect your beloved Inazuma forever, right?"

Ei remained unwilling to change.

Miko had no choice but to continue her verbal onslaught.

Finally, she brought herself into the equation.

"Truthfully, you're happy to see me again, aren't you? You could no longer bear the loneliness here, could you?"

Ei's eyes flickered slightly, but she stubbornly refused to admit it.

"I... have nothing to say."

"Hehe, well, I have endless words for you. Oh yes, let me tell you everything that's happened over the past few hundred years."

[Lumine: Can you two chat outside instead of controlling me?]

[This fox is too cunning.]

[Lumine: Damn it, now I'm just a side character. I need to go back to Mu Yang!]

[Did I come at a bad time?]

[No, you came at just the right time.]

Ei finally relented, her expression softening. "How long will it take to recount hundreds of years?"

"A kitsune's memory is impeccable—I remember every detail of those centuries. So it'll probably take a few hundred years to tell it all."

Ei finally let go, and Lumine saw her smile like this for the first time.

Miko, having succeeded in her plan, placed her hands on her hips.

"Hehe, since you've admitted it honestly, we can still be friends."

"What childish conversation."

Both of them turned to Lumine, who had been listening with great interest.

Even Mu Yang had to admit—this girl had the makings of a supreme drama enthusiast!

All you're missing is a chair and some melon seeds.

Lumine said, "Don't mind me, just pretend I'm not here."

Ei spoke to her, "Traveler, your plan succeeded."

"I will respect your will and abolish the Vision Hunt Decree."

The Vision Hunt Decree would be abolished immediately, but regarding eternity—and whether this nation should continue forward, and how—required further consideration.

Miko couldn't resist teasing her god. "From beginning to end, the childish one has always been you."

Ei sent everyone out of the Plane of Euthymia, and the Inazuma arc finally reached its conclusion.

——————

Later, the Raiden Shogun abolished the Vision Hunt Decree as promised.

The people's wishes ultimately pried open her tightly shut heart.

Outside the Plane of Euthymia, she glimpsed eternity in the eyes of her people.

When a wish burns intensely enough, the gods will cast their gaze upon it.

Some wishes...

Can soothe pain, bring victory, and rekindle hope.

Some wishes...

Even if their bearers have long passed, their souls returned to the heavens, remain as they were at birth—

Sincere and blazing...

Until eternity.

Through Kamisato Ayaka's narration, players witnessed the aftermath of the Inazuma incident in an animated cutscene.

The Shogun personally ordered the abolition of the Vision Hunt Decree.

The skies of Inazuma were no longer shrouded in dark clouds and thunder.

Instead, they were clear and bright, with gentle breezes.

Yae Miko stood beneath the Sacred Sakura, lost in thought.

Mu Yang awoke atop a distant mountain peak, the surroundings swiftly blanketed in snow and ice.

His battle with the Shogun had pushed his strength to new heights.

Thoma's bounty was lifted, and he returned to the Kamisato Estate.

Gorou resumed his daily military duties, while Kokomi mourned those lost in the war.

Kaedehara Kazuha placed the empty husk of a Vision before his friend's grave, paying his respects before turning to leave.

He, too, would embark on a new journey.

Later, Lumine learned much from Miko's dialogue—

About the puppet, Raiden Ei, and Raiden Makoto.

And, of course, Mu Yang's farewell letter.

Mu Yang had already returned to Liyue.

Though he had figured out how to expand his domain, there was still a gap in raw power.

As for Lumine, she remained in Inazuma for the time being.

There were still many matters awaiting her there.

Such as continuing to pry open a certain "shut-in's" heart...

In the livestream, Guinaifen remarked:

"The ending felt a bit rushed, but it was still fairly complete."

"Personally, I prefer the Liyue storyline—the atmosphere suits me better as someone from our Country."

[Are you sure it's not because Mu Yang had more screentime in Liyue?]

[Too bad he didn't appear much in the later parts of Inazuma.]

[At least we got a new form for him in Inazuma—I'm satisfied.]

[Host, don't worry—you can do Ei's Story Quest next for more content.]

Guinaifen replied to this comment:

"Not continuing for now—I'm off to watch Mu Yang fan creations! Ending stream!"

Meanwhile, Mu Yang, now back at Yilong Wharf, remarked:

"How am I supposed to gain popularity if you're hogging all the content?"

'Thanks to Mu Yang for the paid message': Don't keep it to yourself—watch together, just keep the stream alive (10,000 Mora).

Guinaifen defended herself: "I only look at 12+ content! You gotta believe me!"
