"Now good" i take a deep breath but punch my cocoon as i get out in some place, ah i remember this, this was Celestia, it seems the God carry me to the plane above because my transcending.

i get out and check the Celestia, it same as Monastery in Honkai, 11/12. i look around and see her with someone.

"You awake, Fifth Descender" Kiana look at me. i approach her as i look at Whoever thing inside those chamber.

"So, you use my vision to heal him ?"

"Yes, your vision is belong outside of this universe, it maybe help to reawaken him"

"You consider we even"

"Even ?"

"You help me to not return myself to below and i help you to heal him. Heaven Principle, whatever you name him. i pretty much don't care"

"Why you here, exactly ?"

"Doing some business. after all, my business is done but it seems the other looking me" i hear Other who miss me as i missing for 2 day on Lantern Rite after that Tree incident.

"How about offer ?"

"Offer ?"

"become Heaven Principle and return the rule in this world" interesting Luck, but alas, i am not willing to clean someone mess.

"No"

"Why !"

"i'm not willing to clean someone mess, i don't care this world it just fake world or another world of simulation that part of main universe continuity. and i am just visitor not conqueror to proclaim your world nor adjudicator to deem your world should perish"

"But you definitely care about this world right !" She same as Kiana, so pushy. but i just sigh and pat her head.

"Yes... i care but i am not going to deep into attentive for it, sorry"

"Please....." no, don't use that face. face of plea. i remember the Houkai Gakuen as i leave those trio behind.

"Forgive me, i have no right to usurp. is endless cycle for this world"

"Please ?" She grab my hand and i shake it off.

"No, i am sorry" Sorry, Kiana. You're just a Priestess of the Heaven Principle, an Adjudicator of Heaven's will, created from a weakened monster. I remember someone saying.

"You are a king without a throne."

"Everyone can be a king, but that doesn't mean they possess the qualities of one. The greatest kings do not come from perfection but from nothing."

"No king rules forever."

I took a deep breath and recalled all my days as a leader—Duke, head of an organization, King of the Pantheon, King of the Gods, Pharaoh, tribal leader, Chaos God, and many other leadership roles. Many trials and errors, many good and bad memories came flooding back, like sudden nostalgia. But one thing was clear:

My throne in Svarga remains vacant, the throne where the people of Svarga await their ruler. I had never sat on it, and no one else was willing to either. Not Orion, not Michael, not even my brother Mael.

"That throne is yours, not mine," Mael had said.

"That throne is yours, Father. We won't sit there until you do," Orion had insisted.

"Correct, Father. You can sit on it when the time comes. Sit when you want to," Michael had reassured me.

"Even if you don't sit on your rightful throne, I will take care of your seat, my love," my partner had said.

"Valtor, sit there when you want to. As your queen, it is my duty to care for your kingdom, your world, and the people dear to you. Don't worry, wherever you go, whenever you will be, whatever you become, if you get lost and miss us, we will be here for you."

I stopped thinking and teared up as my most cherished memories surfaced one by one.

"I'm sorry, Sustainer, I can't. I have my own kingdom and world waiting for me. I will not take another throne that I cannot rule over forever." i go away as she try to grab my hand but i already gone before she able too.

as i fall from celestia, as i know my statement is completely true, why bother ruling place that not everlasting ? wasting my time and capability.

as i fall, i reach Inazuma before dawn as i try to readjust the Artifact for myself especially new and stats one, except Idol one, i think that is enough.

Time to dip. As I went to another place to test the weapon's abilities, I was completely flabbergasted by how fast and powerful these two swords were. Well, time to test them again and again with different combat styles. Thanks to the Fruit Juice from the Tree of Life, I gained many benefits, which made me believe I could go beyond my limits.

My training was interrupted by none other than her.

"Valor... finally you came. I demand a spar."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Ei."

"Oh, Ei. I thought it was the Shogun. Very well." I tossed my bamboo hat aside and readied Spada di Vento.

We started the spar, each sword clash echoing with our full might, though I held back due to my artifact bonuses. The fight was exhilarating, with swords clashing, thunder roaring, and light churning together in a dazzling display of power.

Ei and I focused on refining our skills, but for me, it was like being in tutorial mode. Our battle drew the attention of those nearby, becoming a spectacle to behold. Ei grunted, trying her best to keep up, her stamina seemingly endless. Meanwhile, I kept my power under control, not wanting to break her puppet once again.

As the climax of the fight approached, I used Octa-Slash Prime, vanishing before Ei could see, and she was struck sixteen times. My shadow followed with another sixteen strikes.

Ei fell, her clothes torn and her puppet body possibly broken. She looked at me with a desire to perfect her technique, while I observed her, confident in the perfection of my own.

"What?" I asked.

"Seems the Shogun's body needs fixing again. I demand another spar when I'm done fixing her," she said, walking away while 70% naked. Her puppet body didn't have reproductive organs but still retained the basic anatomy of a woman.

"No, I decline," I said firmly. She stopped and glared at me.

"How dare you disobey the Shogun of Inazuma, the God of Eternity, the current Electro Archon?" she demanded.

"Because I say so," I replied.

"Please spar with me," she said, her tone turning timid and pleading as I remained stubborn.

"No," I repeated.

"Pretty please?" she tried again.

"No."

"Please??!??!?" She used puppy dog eyes to sway my heart. I spat to the side and looked at her with disgust.

"No," I said once more, unwavering in my refusal.

"Fine, I will let you touch my body," she said suddenly, creating a tense silence. I looked at her with genuine concern.

"Which body? The puppet one or the other one?" I asked.

"Which one do you prefer?" she replied desperately. I rolled my eyes and looked at her.

"I prefer my own wife over you." The impact of my words was like a bomb dropped on Inazuma, more explosive than Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined.

"What?"

"Yes, what. They'll come. Goodbye," I said, walking away and heading to Ritou. After fixing her body, the Shogun was waiting there with Sara and other commissioners. As Beidou's ship arrived, carrying my party from Mondstadt, I noticed several characters from Liyue had also followed.

Chongyun, Ganyu, Shenhe, Xianyun, Xingqiu, Xinyan, Yanfei, Zhongli, and Hutao—a strange combination, and to make matters worse, Yelan still held a grudge against me.

"Leader!" they called out, but I pretended to ignore them, keeping my gaze on the horizon, yearning for my loved ones. I called their names over and over again in my mind until I felt someone touching both of my hands—one cold, the other hot.

"Ama, Mifuyu," I whispered, recognizing their touch. They appeared beside me, not in their usual forms, but in appearances I knew well. Mifuyu wasn't in her Doujin form; instead, she wore the Aoandon Midnight Resplendent Skin from the Onmyouji game. Amaterasu appeared in her Honma Sanbi no Kitsune form, her default skin. Both of them were stunningly beautiful, their charm and allure transcending human comprehension.

Perfect, flawlessly elegant, they were like goddesses among fairies. Their beauty, their body odor, and their scent made me miss them even more, wanting to love them as my own wives.

Then, something happened.

Mifuyu pinched my ear while Ama pinched my cheek.

"We need to talk," both of them spoke in unison. I silently prayed to God and Satan to spare me from my wives' ranting.

"Godspeed, Valtor," Satan toasted with his wine.

"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," God observed my inevitable fate—being scolded by my two wives.

They dragged me to the most expensive inn and rented it for the three of us. Soon, the execution began—both of them instantly berating every action I took, no matter the shenanigans.
