Chapter 348

The current level of civilization in this world isn't high enough?

Or is there another reason?

Otherwise, why had Takumi's power awakened but not fully activated?

Takumi was momentarily confused.

Did he need to touch the Dendro Archon's Gnosis himself?

For a moment, Takumi felt lost.

Hearing Takumi's words, Ei immediately felt frustrated.

"What is this?"

"Awakened but not fully awakened?"

"Can that even happen?"

Takumi withdrew his hand and focused on the energy inside his body.

After touching his chin, he murmured:

"It feels like it's only half awakened."

"A power that can manipulate life."

"But it can't control death."

"In other words, I might be able to heal people?"

"But I don't know if I can resurrect the dead."

Takumi was genuinely unsure.

Healing people was fine.

But to what extent?

He would need to do more research.

Hearing Takumi's words, Ei felt a spark of hope rekindle in her heart.

"When I return to Liyue, I'll study it carefully."

"For now, I really don't know."

Takumi shook his head.

This ability was strange—partially awakened, but incomplete.

Could he resurrect the dead?

Maybe…?

Ei nodded quickly.

She had no objections.

Whatever Takumi decided was fine with her.

At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka walked up to them.

The three of them stayed near the Sacred Sakura for a while before deciding to leave.

There was no need to linger any longer.

The Sacred Sakura had already served its purpose.

Takumi's power had partially activated.

That was enough for now.

Riding their bikes, Takumi, Ei, and Kamisato Ayaka returned to the Kamisato Estate.

At that time, Keqing and Eula were still discussing business matters with Kamisato Ayato.

When Takumi walked in with Ei, Kamisato Ayato was taken aback.

"Greetings, General!"

The others in the room were also startled.

General?

Was this the Raiden Shogun?

Everyone immediately stood up in respect.

"At ease."

"I am not the General."

"She is still at Tenshukaku."

"Please, continue your discussions."

Ei barely spared Ayato a glance before turning away.

Seeing this, Kamisato Ayaka quickly invited Ei to another room to rest.

Kamisato Ayato, however, was confused.

Not the General?

What was going on?

Only Keqing seemed to have some idea.

If it wasn't the General, then was this Raiden Ei?

After Takumi and the others left, Kamisato Ayato had a face full of question marks.

What on earth was happening?

Not the General?

Did they really think he wouldn't recognize her just because she changed clothes?!

Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

But he decided not to dwell on it too much.

He could just ask his sister later.

Meanwhile, Takumi sat down with Ei.

He began to study the strange, half-awakened power inside him.

"Why don't you try it on Musou Isshin?"

"Channel your energy into the sword."

Ei suggested eagerly, watching Takumi closely.

Hearing her suggestion, Takumi was immediately speechless.

"Aren't you afraid something might go wrong?"

"What if it backfires?"

"You're too reckless."

Takumi sighed.

Hearing this, Ei felt a bit embarrassed.

"Then how do we study it?"

Takumi ignored her for the moment.

Instead, he activated the power of the Herrscher of Reason and began scanning himself.

As long as he could analyze and calculate, he could understand the results.

The Herrscher of Reason's power was, in many ways, even more terrifying.

It could replicate the power of other Herrschers.

Though Takumi hadn't tried it yet…

It seemed possible.

Meaning, Takumi could potentially recreate Herrscher Cores.

Then, he could forge powerful weapons.

As of now, Takumi had the ability to recreate several Divine Keys.

Void Myriad Treasures: Crafted from the Herrscher of Reason's Core. Seven Thunders of Retribution: Crafted from the Herrscher of Thunder's Core. Star of Eden: Created using the Herrscher of Rock's Core. Key of the Wind God: Formed from the Herrscher of Wind's Core, used for environmental restoration.

The power of the Herrscher of Reason was utterly broken.

Yet, for the longest time, Takumi hadn't explored it in depth.

Right now, he was using it to analyze his own body.

To study the power within him—partially activated but not fully unleashed.

He needed to understand exactly what it could do.

Ei watched as Takumi's eyes glowed blue, special symbols appearing within them.

She was shocked.

"What… what is he doing?"

The energy radiating from Takumi made her uneasy.

Even though she had felt it before…

Right now, as it continued to surge, she truly grasped how terrifying it was.

Seeing this, Kamisato Ayaka chose not to disturb them.

After placing some refreshments nearby, she quietly left.

She decided to leave Takumi and Ei to their work.

Not long after, Kamisato Ayaka met her brother.

Kamisato Ayato immediately asked:

"Ayaka, what's going on?"

Hearing her brother's question, Ayaka didn't hesitate.

She explained the situation about Ei and the Raiden Shogun.

The General and the Raiden Shogun were two different people.

The General was merely an artificial construct.

The real Raiden Shogun was Ei.

Hearing this, Kamisato Ayato felt stunned.

That was possible?

What the hell?!

You learn something new every day.

Keqing also confirmed it at this point.

After all, Takumi had told her about Raiden Ei before.

Including the fact that Ei was essentially a reclusive shut-in.

But she decided not to mention that part.

After understanding the situation, Kamisato Ayato let it go.

He continued his business discussions with Keqing.

Meanwhile, in another part of Inazuma…

Klee had found Yoimiya.

And the two had quickly become friends.

After learning about Klee's identity, Yoimiya was ecstatic.

She immediately pulled Klee along and invited her to dinner.

According to Yoimiya, Klee's mother had helped her a lot when she was younger.

It was Alice who had taught her how to make gunpowder.

After eating, Yoimiya wasted no time in pulling Klee to make fireworks together.

Then, Yoimiya discovered something shocking.

Klee actually had a bomb that could fly.

"Good grief!"

"Isn't this a bit too dangerous?!"

Looking at the rocket launcher in Klee's hands, Yoimiya was horrified.

Why was something this dangerous in a child's possession?!

Hearing Yoimiya's concern, Klee cheerfully reassured her:

"No way~!"

"Klee never gets hurt when playing with bombs!"

"The bombs never hit Klee!"

Hearing this, Yaoyao nodded in agreement.

"It's true!"

"Whenever a bomb lands near Klee, it always turns into a dud."

"But if she throws it… then it explodes."

Remembering their past experiences with Klee blowing up fish, Yaoyao sighed.

Klee's luck was truly incredible.
