Baal definitely didn't like her sister Beelzebul's approach.
Even though she had died and was no longer Inazuma's ruler, she still cherished Inazuma deeply.
Now, her sister, in pursuit of eternity, had imposed the Vision Hunt Decree on the Inazuma she was governing.
Regardless of her original intentions, the simple fact of the Vision Hunt Decree would bring suffering to the people of Inazuma. And once danger occurred, they would lose the means to resist and respond!
Remembering the countless wars with the resistance army back in the day, she understood too well the importance of Visions.
Now, with the Sakoku Decree, closing all ports, how could Inazuma develop in the future?
Especially after Baal absorbed the knowledge of this world, she knew the immense negative effects of closing the country.
Ridiculous, a mere momentary flash of lightning pursuing some kind of eternity!
That was ultimately false, a matter of self-deception.
Of course, here Baal indeed diverged from her sister's ideology.
And although Kaito played Genshin, he had never really paid much attention to the story from start to finish...
He basically skipped everything, then pulled Gacha, collected wives, looked at the scenery, and frantically tapped the screen. Did he have anything else to do?
So Kaito didn't explain the specific reasons, which was the root cause for Baal summoning her sister on the spot.
Then...
Crackle—!!!
The room was filled with lightning.
Unlike the purple lightning of the Raiden Shogun, the lightning Baal used was golden. But when forming a dimensional gate, the golden lightning also turned purple.
Then...
A figure slowly walked out of the dimensional gate. When she opened her eyes and looked outside, her expression was three parts surprise, three parts shock, and four parts joy.
"Sister?"
The dimensional gate closed. The Raiden Shogun looked in surprise at her sister who had summoned her, her purple eyes madly flickering with lightning.
Then, after the Raiden Shogun suddenly closed her eyes and opened them again, her originally aloof demeanor completely dissipated, replaced by a seemingly lively personality as she directly threw herself into Baal's arms.
"Is it Sister?"
"It is Sister, right!"
"Sister!!!"
Well, it seems the one summoned just now was indeed the Raiden Shogun, but that Raiden Shogun was accurately speaking the puppet.
And now, it was Beelzebul, Ei, who had regained control of her own body.
"Sister..."
The intention to lecture completely vanished. Looking at her younger sister, who was hugging her and starting to cry, her heart ached too. Finally, she opened her arms and tightly embraced her sister.
Speaking of which, just a moment ago, Baal thought her sister had turned evil. This was her real sister.
"Sister, it's so good... you didn't die..."
"Huh? Wait, but I personally buried you in the tomb... Could it be... I died too?"
"Sister, are we now in..."
"Ouch!!!"
Receiving a forceful flick on the forehead, little sister Beelzebul winced in pain, clutching her head and crouching down on the spot.
Kaito, watching from the side, almost laughed out loud.
'Oh no, the little sister in front of me was truly too dutiful.'
'This Beelzebul's personality in the game was very gentle, and she was a proper otaku girl. It was normal for her to have a personality similar to her sister's.'
'Besides, the game is the game, reality is reality.'
'The aloofness was only embodied by the Raiden Shogun (puppet).'
'My sister-in-law is also very easy to talk to!'
"Sister, I actually died, but I was revived thanks to my master's help."
"Master?"
This time, Beelzebul noticed Kaito, then suddenly stood up and positioned herself directly in front of her sister Baal, staring intently at him.
Her sister became a servant?
Could she tolerate that!?
'Wait, why does this man have the energy fluctuations of Morax's ability?'
"Sister, don't be ridiculous."
Baal patted her sister, motioned for her to sit seiza, then put her hands on her hips and looked down at her.
"First, tell me, what's this about the Vision Hunt Decree?"
"Vision Hunt Decree? S-sister, um, can I try to explain myself?"
"Probably not. Can you honestly and completely tell me your thoughts?"
"Oh dear..."
Beelzebul knew things were serious. Compared to her own ideology, her sister definitely wouldn't agree with the Vision Hunt Decree.
But she had her own difficulties too!!
"??? aggrieved.jpg"
"Oh right, this wasn't my doing at all. It was the puppet I created. Go talk to her!"
Whoosh—!
Beelzebul logged off, Raiden Shogun logged on.
The change in personality could be seen from their eyes.
"...Ha."
The Raiden Shogun paused after coming online. Looking up at her so-called sister, she was also speechless.
"Among the seven ideals pursued by the Seven Archons, only 'Eternity' is closest to the 'Heavenly Principles'."
'Alright, the old riddle-speaker is back.'
Kaito, who always skipped the plot, indicated he didn't understand.
Baal seemed to understand a bit, but she frowned, raised her hand, and directly interrupted the Raiden Shogun, who was about to continue.
"Visions reflect an individual's will or wishes. People might only obtain a Vision when their wish is extremely strong."
"But after you imposed the Vision Hunt Decree, those people who lost their Visions also lost their wishes. Don't you understand this basic principle?"
The dissipation of one's own will or wish would also affect the Vision. The kind-hearted Baal naturally didn't want to see such a scene.
To her, no one had the right to deprive others of their wishes, not even a 'god'!
This arbitrary act of depriving people of their wishes, how could she not be angry!!
"But Sister, you don't understand. I did this also to maintain the perpetual existence of Inazuma!"
"Even to maintain the entire continent of Teyvat!"
Facing Baal's reprimand, the Raiden Shogun also explained firmly.
Hearing this, Kaito seemed to understand a bit.
Kaito's understanding was, it's like Visions consume elemental energy, and elemental energy is produced by the planet itself. But once the elements are gone, the world would collapse as a result.
In other words, if the Ley Lines lose their magical power, the entire world would lose its magic.
At best, everyone becomes ordinary; at worst, the entire world collapses.
On this point, some anime works have depicted this.
The most famous former is the Fate universe, the latter is the world from "So I'm a Spider, So What?".
Perhaps, what the Raiden Shogun wanted to do was collect all Visions to stop everyone from consuming too much elemental energy?
