Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice Chapter 1077: Tartaglia feels green

"Signora?"

The woman who wants to beat him up is Signora!

But why?

They're both Fatui Harbingers, and they work for the same organization.

Tartaglia had a bad feeling, especially when he saw Signora mingling with other women he didn't know, but who exuded a powerful aura.

"Don't call me by my name so casually, Tartaglia. Call me Lady, or else I'll make you feel excruciating pain."

Signora leaped from the ceiling and landed gracefully on the luxurious floor of the Golden House. She looked at the man in front of her with a condescending gaze, a cold and hot aura emanating from her left and right sides.

Tartaglia took a step back and drew both of his daggers warily. Cold sweat drenched his back as he felt the oppressive pressure emanating from Signora.

Not only had she become more beautiful and sexy, but she'd also grown stronger! Casually, she even used her Delusion Cryo and Vision Pyro simultaneously, as if she were truly serious about beating him up.

"L-Lady, what exactly happened to you? Why do you want to beat me up? I know we don't get along, but we really shouldn't fight right now. Before Eiji realizes what the Fatui are up to, we should take Geo Gnosis to Tsaritsa right away."

He tried to persuade the woman so they wouldn't have to fight.

However, Signora mocked him and produced a brown chess piece with golden-yellow details symbolizing Geo. That object, Geo Gnosis, suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Isn't it clear enough yet? I—or rather, we—have taken the Geo Gnosis and have no intention of handing it over to the Tsaritsa."

"You've defected!?"

Tartaglia's face darkened again.

Signora replied, "Yes."

"Who? Who are you following that you dare to defect?" Tartaglia asked angrily.

He was curious who could have convinced a haughty woman like Signora to betray the Fatui and the Tsaritsa.

He couldn't think of anyone except…

It couldn't possibly be the man who's fighting Osial all by himself, could it?

"It's Eiji—I'm one of his women now." Signora proudly acknowledged her current status.

"What!? Lady—no, Signora, you... How is that possible? How could you possibly be one of Eiji's women!?"

Hearing Eiji's name mentioned, Tartaglia's chest tightened as if he were the victim of an NTR. A mix of anger and a fierce pang of jealousy struck his heart. Although he tried with all his might to hide his jealous expression behind a cold facade, his clenched jaw and trembling fists couldn't lie.

He was incredibly jealous of Eiji.

He'd heard that a woman looks even more beautiful when she's in love. Did that mean Signora had fallen in love with Eiji and had given herself to him?

The thought of that woman having sex with another man made Tartaglia feel extremely uncomfortable.

"?" Signora was confused; why did she feel that Tartaglia was angry for a reason other than her defection from the Fatui?

Suddenly, a crisp laugh rang out from the golden ceiling of the Golden House. In her sexy dress, Merraid played with the ends of her hair while glancing at Tartaglia.

"Signora, it seems you were quite popular in your former organization," she teased, giggling. "Judging by his reaction, a lot of men in Fatui must secretly like you, right?"

Hearing what she said and seeing the greenish flush on Tartaglia's face, Signora realized something. "Ah…"

The corners of her lips turned up, forming a mocking smile that cut deep.

Signora stared at Tartaglia with a look that was both contemptuous and amused. "So you've been secretly lusting after me and harboring dirty fantasies about me, Tartaglia? How pathetic… Unfortunately, you're not my type. My heart and body have already been given to Eiji."

"Enough!" Tartaglia shouted; he could no longer contain his shame and the other surging emotions. A dense, murderous aura immediately erupted from his body. The shame of having his secret exposed and the jealousy that Signora now belonged to Eiji set his sanity ablaze.

*BZZZZT!*

Dense purple sparks of electricity began to envelop Tartaglia's body. Without hesitation, he immediately activated his Delusion Electro.

"I'll crush your arrogance, Signora! Since you've betrayed the Fatui, I won't show you any mercy either! You'll regret this!" Tartaglia growled as he drew his purple lightning spear and charged forward at lightning speed, ready to fight to reclaim his honor.

Merraid, Cassandra, and Gilberda didn't move. They had no intention of helping Signora.

Signora also thought she didn't need their help just to deal with Tartaglia. In a split second, the air around her suddenly froze as her Cryo Delusion began to emit a deadly mist of ice. The flames from her Vision also caused the Pyro element to blaze behind her.

Tartaglia darted forward like a streak of purple, swinging his Electro spear with incredible speed. However, Signora simply stood calmly. With a graceful wave of her hand, a giant wall of ice materialized out of thin air, blocking the impact of Tartaglia's spear and causing deafening sparks of electricity.

*BLAAAM!*

Tartaglia leaped backward, then attacked again with the spear that materialized in his hand.

However, Signora easily blocked every one of his attacks with her ice wall. With speed surpassing his own, she even suddenly appeared behind him and unleashed a giant fireball at him.

"What—"

*BOOM!*

He was too late to dodge and could only block the attack with his own body. Unfortunately, he was instantly hurled so hard that his body was pinned against the wall.

"Gugh!"

Tartaglia coughed up a mouthful of blood; his mask was shattered into pieces, and the smell of burning emanated from his body.

His breathing began to quicken. His eyes widened in disbelief. After just a few minutes of exchanging blows, he realized something terrifying: Signora was far stronger than he had expected!

Even when he forced his Delusion Electro power, it didn't help—his body felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles. The side effects of overusing Delusion were beginning to take their toll on his body—his joints were stiff, and his chest felt tight from holding back the energy within him.

However, the scene before him was the exact opposite. Signora looked completely relaxed, without the slightest sign of fatigue.

'Is she still using Delusion just like me!? She's even using her vision at the same time—why is she still fine?'

Tartaglia was confused.

"What's the matter, Tartaglia? Is this all the youngest Harbinger can do?" Signora taunted. Her voice echoed among the golden rubble. Thanks to the 'treatment' she received after becoming Eiji's wife, Signora no longer had to worry about the side effects of her powers.

Her body had fully harmonized with all the elements she could wield. The air around Signora suddenly shifted drastically—half the room froze into a biting Cryo blizzard, while the other half raged with Pyro flames blazing from her now perfectly controlled Crimson Witch form.

"How is that possible…" Tartaglia clenched his teeth, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of envy in his eyes. "You're using Cryo and Pyro at the same time without destroying your own body?!"

"You don't need to know how I do it," Signora replied coldly.

She raised her white hand. In an instant, dozens of sharp ice spears hurtled toward Tartaglia.

Tartaglia tried to dodge with what speed he had left, but just as he managed to jump out of the way, Signora snapped her fingers.

*BOOOM!*

The floor beneath Tartaglia's feet exploded in a massive burst of Pyro's fiery curtain. The combination of the Melt reaction triggered by Signora struck Tartaglia with full force, slamming him into a golden pillar until it cracked.

Tartaglia was propped up on one knee, gasping for breath. Signora's Cryo and Pyro powers completely dominated the course of the battle, toying with him like a rat cornered in its own nest.

From the ceiling, Merraid watched with a satisfied smile. "Not bad, Signora."

"All of a sudden, I wish I could cast elemental magic like that, too." Cassandra remarked.

"I wish I could unleash lightning from my body. That thing called Delusion... Can I use it, too?" Gilberda wondered.

Cassandra chimed in, "Why don't we ask Eiji-sama for something similar?"

"Oh, you're right! Cassandra, you're a genius!"

While the two women dressed as maids were talking about a topic that had nothing to do with the battle. Signora was quite pleased with the compliment Merraid had given her.

In her magnificent gown, she walked toward Tartaglia. However, instead of raising her hand to deliver a deadly blow, she simply stood tall, looking down at her former comrade with a cold, superior gaze.

"You're lucky, Tartaglia. Today I have no desire to stain my hands with the blood of a Harbinger," said Signora, her voice clear and authoritative in the opulent room.

Tartaglia tried to lift his head, his weary eyes gazing at Signora with what little pride he had left.

His delusion had been forcibly deactivated because his injuries were too severe, and he didn't have enough energy left to keep it active any longer.

"Go to Snezhnaya," continued Signora, as she played with the Geo Gnosis, which spun slowly in the palm of her hand. "Go see the Tsaritsa, and tell her about my defection. Tell her that Rosalyne is no longer a pawn on her chessboard."

Signora paused for a moment, her gaze sharpening as she mentioned the name of the man who had now become the center of her world. "And one more thing. Tell her that Eiji is also gathering Gnosis. If she wants to proceed with her plan, she'd better be prepared to face my lover."

Hearing Eiji's name and that man's grand ambitions mentioned, Tartaglia—who was already on the verge of regaining consciousness—suddenly forced out a small laugh.

"Heh… hehe…" Tartaglia laughed softly, a wry smile etched on his face, which was covered in bruises and marked by extreme exhaustion.

"Eiji… gathering Gnosis, huh?" he whispered, his voice hoarse and nearly gone. "Interesting… I'll deliver… your message…"

Even though his life had just been spared, Tartaglia's pride as a Fatui soldier and Harbinger made him refuse to beg for mercy. He did not refuse Signora's request to be the messenger, yet not a single word of thanks escaped his lips for having been spared.

Soon, his body reached its absolute limit, and he collapsed unconscious onto the cold floor of the Golden House.

"Hmph!" Signora merely snorted softly at Tartaglia. She turned around and walked gracefully toward Merraid, Cassandra, and Gilberda, who were already waiting for her near the exit.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go, and give the Geo Gnosis to Eiji."

Before Eiji went off to fight Osial alone, he had ordered them to retrieve the Geo Gnosis that Morax had hidden in his fake corpse.

That was why they had come to the Golden House while many people in Liyue were focused on watching the battle between Eiji and the ancient Sea God.

He also asked them to beat up Tartaglia and deliver the messages he needed to convey to the Tsaritsa.

Just as expected of him.

He's so dominant!

On the way, Signora felt her panties get a little wet; she couldn't wait to ask Eiji for a reward since she'd done something for him.

...

Back to the present.

Eiji returned to the Jade Chamber floating in space. As soon as his feet touched the marble floor of the terrace, a group of beautiful women was lined up waiting for him, their eyes sparkling with pride.

Ningguang stepped forward with her captivating, graceful smile. "What an incredible battle, Eiji. You've become a hero to everyone living in Liyue."

"I knew you could do it!" Lumine exclaimed as she jogged toward Eiji.

Paimon also said, "Eiji, aren't you just too strong!?"

Eiji rubbed his nose.

[Should I mention that in my previous battle against Osial, I didn't even use 1% of my power just to kill him?]

1%?

True or false?

The women in Teyvat, who could hear his inner voice, wondered if Eiji was just bragging.

After all, 1% is way too much, right?

Just how strong would Eiji be if he used 100% of his power?

They couldn't even imagine it.

"Good job, Eiji." Xianyun nodded proudly from the side, folding her arms in the manner of a satisfied master.

She also looked a bit tsundere.

Not to be outdone, the women from Akame Ga Kill who loyally accompanied him immediately swarmed around him. Akame looked at him with admiration in her eyes. "Eiji, the sword you used earlier was really cool. Is that a Teigu?"

Eiji replied that it was a Zanpakuto, and its power depended on how strong the user's spiritual energy was.

"Eiji, you were so cool when you froze the ocean just now!" Cornelia praised, her face flushed. Poney and Tsukushi cheered happily along, giving him a thumbs-up.

"Ahaha, a target that big was smashed to pieces. You're worthy of being my boss," teased Chelsea as she chewed on her lollipop. Nearby, Kurome nodded in agreement, accompanied by Gin and Taeko, who were also smiling.

Those beautiful women welcomed Eiji's arrival not only with admiration but also with love in their eyes.

Eiji felt a little aroused; the bulge in his pants grew slightly. Akame noticed this.

However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she was lost in thought until her cheeks flushed.

[Host, this isn't the time to get aroused. You have to be patient.]

'Ahem! I know, Miss System. I know.'

Eiji tried to calm his "snake" by reciting a mind-cleansing mantra in his head.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very effective.

Let's hope only Taeko and her women realize he's getting an erection.

By the way, he's only deactivated The Almighty. So, he's still in his Bankai form.

Keqing, Ganyu, and Bediou couldn't help but glance at him, thinking how handsome he was. He was already very handsome before, but now? He has certain traits that make him seem even more captivating.

'Leme, have they fallen in love with me?'

[Almost, our King. But I'm sure you just need to charm them directly, and they'll fall in love with you!]

Hearing what Leme said, Eiji felt happy. His earlier show of bravado hadn't been in vain.

In another corner of the terrace, the Adepts who had previously doubted Eiji's ability to face an ancient god now stood transfixed. Xiao, Moon Carver, and Mountain Shaper exchanged glances with newfound respect.

Madame Ping stepped forward, smiling warmly as she looked at Eiji with a wise gaze. "Young man… on behalf of all the Adepts and the ancestors of Liyue, I thank you. Without your strength, who knows what would have become of this city."

Eiji turned his gaze to the elderly woman walking toward him. Don't be fooled by her appearance; the Adepts are able to manipulate the age they appear to be at will. In fact, Madame Ping's age isn't much different from Xianyun's.

However, for some reason, she likes to pretend to be an old woman. Eiji was curious just how beautiful she was in her true form.

So, he acted very friendly toward her.

"Thank you for the compliment, and thank you all," Eiji said softly, his gaze sweeping over his women. "But as I mentioned earlier in the middle of the battle... Liyue is home to my women. I certainly can't let a creature like Osial do whatever he wants here."

Those words, spoken with a sincere yet firm tone, instantly echoed through the terrace of the Jade Chamber. The Adepts fell silent, awed by the man's unwavering conviction and pure motivation to protect those he loved.

Madame Ping's favorable impression of Eiji grew even stronger.

[Amazing acting skills.]

'Miss System, I'm not acting.'

[Really?]

Just ignore Miss System; she's surely just joking.

"...." Eiji.

He's serious about what he said, okay?

[By the way, Xianyun should be able to get Madame Ping to show me her youthful appearance and bring us closer together.]

"???" Xianyun.

Eiji, what are you thinking!?

Don't tell me, you...

Xianyun sighed and glanced at her old friend with a strange expression. Madame Ping sensed Xianyun's gaze and wondered what was wrong.

She had no idea that her own longtime friend harbored malicious intentions toward her. Xianyun thought it would be nice if there were other adepts besides her in Eiji's harem.

It wasn't impossible for her to help him with that.
