【The battle was fierce, and the Lady, using both her own Fire God's Eye and the Cryo elemental power of her Evil Eye, was still defeated by the Traveler Lumine, who mastered three elemental powers. She lost this duel before the throne.】
【"Your power..."】
【The injured Lady knelt on the ground, clutching her chest. She said in a tone of both unwillingness and bewilderment, "But why..."】
【And at this moment.】
【The Raiden Shogun, wielding her Dream-Slaying Blade, slowly descended, her steps filled with an aura of invincibility.】
【The Fulfilled Wish, the Hundred Eyes of the Thousand Visions, shone brightly behind her head.】
【The Traveler Lumine and Paimon thought that the Raiden Shogun was coming for them.】
【But as the loser of this duel before the throne, the Lady knew very well that the Raiden Shogun was targeting her.】
【According to the rules of Inazuma's duel before the throne, the loser would face divine punishment!】
【Even though the Lady was a herald of Snezhnaya.】
【"I am a herald of Snezhnaya, you know the consequences of attacking me..."】
【The Lady, in a sorry state, stood up from the floor, blustering, "I swear, if you truly raise your blade against me, I will make your nation..."】
【"The Fatui, will make your cherished Inazuma..."】
【However, the Lady's threat couldn't stop the Raiden Shogun from walking towards her.】
【The breath of death enveloped her heart. The Lady began to rage helplessly, screaming hysterically, "Stop, I order you!"】
【"You! And you! I! How could I..."】
【Seeing that she couldn't stop the Raiden Shogun from inflicting divine punishment on her, knowing that death was imminent, the Lady chose to fight to the death.】
【But.】
【With a flash of lightning, a terrifying surge of Electro elemental power erupted.】
【The Lady was simply sliced into ashes by the Raiden Shogun's blade.】
Diluc: "What a stark contrast."
Kaeya: "Well, it seems pretty certain now that Mr. Venti was deliberately acting a part back then."
Jean: "They are both gods of their respective nations. The Raiden Shogun just chopped the Lady into pieces with one strike, while Mr. Venti..."
Diluc: "Even if it was an act, what difference does it make? It's still embarrassing."
The Traveler Lumine: "You know what, that Venti guy is a really good actor. I was completely fooled at the time!"
Albedo: "He was acting a bit too much. Even if Mr. Venti had abandoned his dominion over Mondstadt for many years, his power shouldn't have been so weak that he couldn't handle a single Lady."
Xiao: "If that's all there is to it, I think Celestia wouldn't have intentionally compared Mr. Venti and the Raiden Shogun, because how Mr. Venti uses his power is his own business."
Xiao: "The key point is, Mr. Venti just let the God's Heart be stolen by the Fatui so easily."
Cloud Retainer: "This Immortal agrees with the Yaksha's opinion."
Jean: "So, you're saying that Mr. Venti knew about the Tsaritsa's plan to collect the God's Hearts, and intentionally let the God's Heart go?"
Xiao: "Yes. If he was simply being irresponsible as a god, the crime wouldn't be that serious. But Celestia clearly stated that the Tsaritsa's collection of God's Hearts was an attempt to betray Her. If Mr. Venti is involved in this plan, then the crime is serious."
Furiosa: "That makes a lot of sense! Could it be that... the Anemo Archon also wants to betray Celestia?"
The Servant, Arlecchino: "Betrayal is the most serious crime. If it's confirmed that the Anemo Archon wants to betray Celestia, then his punishment might be even worse than the Lesser Lord of the Grass."
As the 'father' of the Hearth Home, the Servant is all too aware of how serious the crime of betrayal is.
Whether it's Celestia on the eternal throne in the heavens, or they as humans.
The thing they hate most is betrayal!
In fact, Celestia thinks the same way.
If it was just because Venti was elbowed by the Lady at the entrance of Mondstadt's Cathedral.
Lin Mo wouldn't have deliberately picked him up and whipped him to death.
"Now, tell me, Barbatos."
Lin Mo's gaze narrowed, his voice sharp, "You deliberately staged this act, handing over the God's Heart, what was your intention?"
Venti remained silent for a long time.
He sighed softly and said, "Oh, Lord Lin Mo, I had no choice. I admit that I was capable of dealing with the Lady, but that would only cause the Fatui to endlessly stir up trouble in Mondstadt, both openly and secretly, for the sake of the God's Heart."
"For the peace and stability of Mondstadt, I had to use this method to hand over the God's Heart."
As soon as Venti said this.
Many people found it quite reasonable.
Indeed.
The Fatui's collection of God's Hearts was known to everyone in the chat room.
And to collect the God's Hearts, the Fatui would stop at nothing.
As long as they could get their hands on the God's Heart, they wouldn't care if they turned a country upside down.
For example, Inazuma, Liyue, even Sumeru.
But
Lin Mo said, "I don't deny that you handing over the God's Heart so easily had factors related to considering the peace and stability of Mondstadt, but more importantly, you wanted to see if Tsaritsa would really be able to overthrow my rule after collecting all seven God's Hearts."
"You weren't involved in Tsaritsa's plan, but deep down, you already had the idea of betraying Sky Island."
"Do you need to explain yourself?"
Lin Mo's meaning was clear.
Come, come, begin your performance.
At this moment.
Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, and the others all held their breaths nervously.
If the crime of Venti's attempt to betray Celestia was confirmed, he, the Anemo Archon, would probably be in deep trouble.
"I..."
At the entrance of the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Venti looked up at Lin Mo in the giant screen in the sky.
After a long silence, he finally sighed with relief and said, "As expected of Lord Lin Mo, you can't hide anything from you."
"I admit that I did think that way. I won't explain the reason."
Venti's words fell.
Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, and the others, all of them had their hearts stop, staring in shock.
It wasn't just them.
Many others didn't understand either.
Even if Venti had such thoughts, why did he admit it openly?
Betrayal is the most serious crime!
In the human world, many traitors would be stubborn after being caught.
Because they know what kind of cruel and tragic fate awaits them.
However, many people didn't know that.
Even though Celestia was on Sky Island, she could still see through the depths of Venti's heart.
Therefore, lying in front of Celestia would be a futile struggle.
