Chapter 634: The Eye Hunting Order Born from Eternity

Why would General Raiden want to issue an eye-hunting order and take such a move that would harm the interests of the country? After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why did the general issue an eye-hunting order?" Sora's eyes were full of doubts, and he hoped to get a reasonable explanation from Thomas.

After listening to Sora's question, Thomas took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and then answered: "Before explaining this matter, you should know that just as Mondstadt is a "free" city-state, Liyue is a "contract" city... and Inazuma... is an "eternal" country." At this point, Thomas' eyes showed a trace of awe, as if he was talking about something extremely sacred. He raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky, as if he was pursuing the will of General Raiden, "General Raiden is both the supreme ruler of Inazuma and the god of Inazuma. The eternal and unchanging eternity of thousands of generations is the will of "her" who governs this country. "

At this point, the awe in Thomas's eyes gradually turned into helplessness, he sighed slightly and continued, "To this end, the country's politics are stabilized by relying on the Three Bugyo, and the flow of people is cut off by the isolation order. The general wants Inazuma to maintain a static state, so that the long river of time can flow by on both sides, but Inazuma will remain motionless until "eternity." There was a hint of bitterness in Thomas' tone, he knew very well that this way of pursuing eternity had brought many changes to Inazuma, both good and bad, but as a part of Inazuma, he could only accept it.

After listening to Thomas's story, Paimon felt helpless. She floated lightly in the air, like a light feather, and said with emotion: "Every god has his own ideas..." Mondstadt's freedom, Liyue's contract, and Inazuma's eternity, the kingdoms of the three gods all have very distinct characteristics. These different concepts have shaped the unique style of each country and the people's lifestyle, and also made Paimon have a deeper understanding of the diversity of this world.

After listening to Paimon's complaints, Thomas nodded and continued, "Of course, this is also my own understanding. As for the recent issuance of the Eye Hunting Order, the reason... perhaps the general believes that the Eye of God can provide the people with the power of "change", and the "eternity" in the general's eyes cannot allow such "instability" to exist. So General Raiden sent his men under the "Tenryo Bugyo" to collect the Eyes of God everywhere, and one by one, embedded the Eyes of God into this statue. So this "Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue" can be regarded as a symbol of Inazuma's "eternity." Thomas said as he looked at the statue, his eyes full of complex emotions, respect for the general's will, and worry about the possible consequences of this move.

"Indeed...if the Eye of God can fully utilize its power, it can even become a god. Your General of Thunder must have done this to prevent this from happening." After Thomas finished speaking, Lin Feng spoke directly. Hearing Lin Feng's voice, Paimon and Kong turned their heads to look at him at the same time, of course not because he spoke, but because what Lin Feng said was really shocking. In their cognition, although they knew that the Eye of God had great power, they never thought it could reach such a level.

"Well... But I seem to have heard from Wendy that those who possess the Eye of God are called original gods, because they have the right to land on Sky Island, but they must use the Eye of God to the fullest." Paimon tilted her head, trying to recall what Wendy had said. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she was trying to dig out more information about the Eye of God from the depths of her memory.

After hearing what Paimon said, Sora nodded. Wendy did say that. But Thomas was confused. Does the Eye of God have this function? He looked at the Eye of God in his hand, full of doubts. This small Eye of God has always been just a symbol of power in his hand, and he has never heard of such a mysterious connection. But they didn't seem to be lying, so Thomas took out his Eye of God and felt it. He found that it was just like that. Could it be that his development was not enough? He frowned and repeatedly pondered the Eye of God in his hand, trying to find the answer.

Seeing Thomas looking at the Eye of God in his hand, Paimon looked at the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue again and couldn't help but complain: "If you put it that way... isn't that General Raiden a bit selfish?" Paimon has always been straightforward and says whatever she thinks. In her opinion, General Raiden's pursuit of eternity and confiscating the Eye of God seemed to ignore the will and rights of the people.

Hearing Paimon's voice, Thomas put away the Eye of God. After hearing Paimon's words, Thomas laughed a few times, and then replied: "Haha, only foreigners like you dare to criticize General Raiden's actions so bluntly." At this point, Thomas lowered his voice a few notes, almost speaking in a voice that only a few people could hear, "But... I agree. The Eye Hunting Order is indeed something that should not exist. Miss Kamisato has made up her mind to fight since the first day the Eye Hunting Order was issued." Thomas' eyes revealed a hint of determination. Although he is a member of the Inazuma family and has loyalty and respect for the general, he also has his own judgment and position on the Eye Hunting Order. He knows that Miss Kamisato's road to resistance is full of hardships, but he is willing to support her to the best of his ability.

After hearing Thomas' words, Kong slowly extended his hand towards the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue with a hint of curiosity. His movements were somewhat hesitant. On the one hand, he was attracted by the mystery of the statue, and on the other hand, he had a vague premonition that this touch might bring unexpected things. When his palm finally touched the statue, a strong and strange force flowed into his body along his arm, and then a noisy sound rang in his mind like thunder.

The voices were chaotic and made Kong's head buzz, as if countless people were shouting in his mind at the same time. Kong's face turned pale in an instant, and his features twisted together in pain. He immediately withdrew his palm, and his body trembled slightly. At this time, his expression was still a little ferocious, and he was obviously still bearing the huge impact brought by the voice. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and soaked his hair.

Paimon naturally noticed this scene. Her body, which was originally floating leisurely in the air, froze instantly. Her eyes widened with worry and confusion.
