After thinking for a while, Su Yuan simply gave up on overthinking...
What was the point of all this mental gymnastics?
He might as well just throw down with Dottore!
Right now, he possessed the full essence of Azhdaha's blood, and wielded powerful Geo energy—he definitely had the strength to put up a fight!
After thinking for a while, Su Yuan simply gave up on overthinking...
What was the point of all this mental gymnastics?
He might as well just throw down with Dottore!
Right now, he possessed the full essence of Azhdaha's blood, and wielded powerful Geo energy—he definitely had the strength to put up a fight!
Plus, Su Yuan recalled a warning he'd once received from the message in his right palm: Do not attempt to fully control the Eerie power, or you will pay a terrible price…
And the only person Su Yuan could think of who would dare try to fully master the Eerie… was none other than Dottore.
On top of that, during all his recent time in Liyue, Dottore had been unusually quiet—no chaos, no trouble...
And earlier, when Dottore was fighting the Eerie-possessed Qiqi, he had adopted a notably cautious strategy—barely taking the initiative to attack at all...
From what Su Yuan remembered of Dottore's arrogant personality, that kind of behavior didn't fit at all.
So Su Yuan boldly speculated—Dottore had probably already suffered divine retribution for trying to fully control the Eerie power… and paid a price for it.
His strength might already be significantly weakened…
Either way—this was a chance Su Yuan had to seize.
No more hesitation—just fight!!
Feeling the powerful Geo energy continuously surging in Su Yuan's hands, Dottore couldn't help but sigh in admiration:
"Su Yuan… although I've known this fact for quite some time, seeing it with my own eyes now still surprises and amazes me…"
"For ordinary people to wield elemental power, they need external power like Visions—or Delusions…"
"But you, just like the Traveler, can use elemental power without a Vision at all…"
"Su Yuan, in my eyes, while both you and the Traveler are Descenders to the world of Teyvat, your rank… far exceeds that of the Traveler!"
"What happened in Fontaine proves this very clearly!"
"Defeating me and saving Fontaine—a huge part of that victory belongs to you, Su Yuan!"
"The Traveler? At best, he was just a witness. To put it bluntly, just a blond surveillance camera…"
"But you, Su Yuan—you possess the power to change Teyvat. I honestly wish we could be friends!!"
"Dottore, cut the crap!"
"You're obviously just trying to stall for time right now!!"
After the Geo energy in Su Yuan's hand had been condensed to its limit, he hurled the powerful, crackling mass of elemental force straight at Dottore with all his might!
"You must be pretty weak right now!"
"Take this, Dottore!!"
As the high-speed Geo energy blast came hurtling toward him, Dottore's expression remained calm, showing not even a trace of panic...
He gave a slight smile and said evenly:
"Su Yuan, I hope you understand something very clearly…"
"Even if I've grown weaker—that doesn't mean you've become strong…"
"No—wait. I am a scholar, after all. I should speak with precision."
"To be exact, compared to when we met in Fontaine, yes—you have grown stronger…"
"But the gap between us... is still a chasm you can never cross!!!"
As he spoke, a flame composed of Eerie power ignited in Dottore's palm—and he thrust it forward to meet Su Yuan's attack head-on!
Though the Eerie flame wasn't blazing violently, the outcome was instantly clear:
Eerie power, a force that counters elemental energy by nature, effortlessly neutralized Su Yuan's Geo attack…
However, after neutralizing Su Yuan's attack, Dottore didn't choose to follow up or press the advantage.
Instead, he simply kept smiling at Su Yuan and said:
"Su Yuan, because I truly wish to become your closest friend, I don't want to deceive you…"
"So let me be honest: yes, I've indeed sustained some injuries, and the Eerie power I can currently wield is quite limited…"
"But even so, it's still more than enough… to deal with you alone."
"So, don't waste your energy hoping to defeat me. Let's have a proper conversation instead…"
"In your dreams!!!"
But Su Yuan had no intention of listening to Dottore.
He continued to feel the surging Geo energy within his body, gathering it again and again—into his hands, around him, behind him…
"Dottore, then let's see—will I be the first to collapse from exhaustion, or will your dwindling Eerie power run dry first?"
The Geo energy blast Su Yuan had unleashed just moments ago had been an all-out, focused strike—a peak-level concentrated technique…
Although Su Yuan's previous attack had great power and speed, its range was narrow and its frequency low—making it easy for Dottore to block...
But this time, Su Yuan decided to change tactics.
He began forming multiple Geo-elemental strike points all around his body.
While each individual strike would be weaker, the overall attack range and speed would increase dramatically...
Su Yuan didn't believe Dottore could block that many attacks at once!
"Take this, Dottore!!!"
"Twenty-meter radius — Gemstone Splash!!"
Facing Su Yuan's relentless spirit—his refusal to surrender or give up—Dottore let out a soft sigh, as if somewhat helpless...
"Su Yuan, why is it that you always refuse to lose, refuse to give up, and refuse to be my friend?"
"Do you really think that using a wide-range attack like this will be effective against me?"
As he spoke, Dottore manipulated the Eerie power around him to form a thin shield—one that easily blocked all of Su Yuan's attacks...
"Su Yuan… it seems that when it comes to dealing with Dottore, elemental power just… isn't enough after all…"
Just then, Tartaglia's voice echoed in Su Yuan's mind:
"Su Yuan, let me take over your body now…"
"I've always wanted to go up against Dottore, the No. 2 Harbinger of the Fatui—see for myself what kind of strength he really has!"
"…Looks like there's no other way," Su Yuan replied with a hint of helplessness.
"As expected, just having some elemental power isn't enough to stand against Dottore…"
"Alright then, Tartaglia—he's all yours!"
As Tartaglia took control of Su Yuan's body, he instantly summoned his Foul Legacy armor to cover himself, and took up a fighting stance against Dottore!
"Dottore, let me witness the power of the so-called No. 2 Harbinger!"
"…So it's you, Tartaglia. I didn't expect that even though you're already dead, you'd still be able to cling to Su Yuan's body and appear before me…"
Facing Tartaglia now fully clad in Foul Legacy gear, Dottore furrowed his brow slightly, as if mildly troubled:
"In the past, I wouldn't have even spared you a second thought…"
"But now that my strength has waned significantly… Tartaglia, don't you think it's a little unfair for you to be fighting me at a time like this?"
