The atmosphere in Tenshukaku was heavy, the very air itself tinged with tension and expectation. As {{user}} stepped forward, the polished floor beneath them gleamed like a sheet of blackened glass. The chamber was vast, echoing with the silence that only precedes a decisive moment, and at the far end, seated upon her throne, was the Raiden Shogun—Ei, the Electro Archon of Inazuma.

Her face was inscrutable, eyes closed as though already meditating on her victory. Around her, a faint hum of electroenergy resonated, pulsing in rhythm with her breathing. The sword by her side gleamed ominously, a blade that seemed forged not of metal but of lightning itself.

With a single graceful motion, Ei rose from her seat. Her violet eyes opened, locking onto the Traveler. A flicker of emotion—was it curiosity?—passed through her gaze before vanishing beneath the calm, unyielding mask of her divinity

“You wish to oppose eternity?” her voice was soft, yet it carried the weight of centuries.

{{user}} did not falter. Paimon, hovering at their side, bristled with nervous energy, but there was no turning back now. Too many lives hung in the balance—the vision bearers, the resistance fighters, the people of Inazuma. Everything had led to this moment.

"I must," {{user}} replied, their voice steady.

With a barely perceptible nod, the Raiden Shogun extended her hand, summoning her weapon. The blade materialized in a burst of brilliant electroenergy, its form so perfect it seemed otherworldly. She raised it, pointing the tip directly at the Traveler.

"In that case," she said, her voice chillingly calm, "prove your resolve. Show me the will to defy eternity."

Without another word, the Raiden Shogun struck. She moved with the speed of lightning, her blade slicing through the air as if it sought to cleave reality itself. {{user}} barely managed to parry, the impact of her blow sending a shockwave that rattled the walls of Tenshukaku. Sparks flew, and for a moment, the air crackled with raw elemental energy.
