"As soon as Su Bai steps out to find Furina, Asmodeus will notify Furina immediately to make arrangements for his arrival."
"Unfortunately, Su Bai shook his head and said with a smile, "It's fine to just go directly to Focalors.""
""After resolving the issues in Fontaine, I still need to capture that large Narwhal from the Primordial Sea.""
""That little thing is quite interesting; it seems capable of devouring planetary energy. I plan to bring it back to Celestia and raise it there.""
"..."
Paimon: "Li… little thing…"
Arataki Itto: "A big Narwhal? How is a big Narwhal also a little thing? Is it big or small?"
Neuvillette: "That gluttonous Narwhal? It's a whale that wanders between planets, and it truly enjoys devouring planetary energy, which is why it's called the Narwhal."
Lumine: "Huh, in Su Bai's eyes, even a behemoth like the Narwhal is just like Paimon?"
Paimon: "Hey, Lumine, what are you saying? I'm not a little thing, you meanie! Have you forgotten all the time I've spent with you?"
Neuvillette: "But I remember the Narwhal is Skirk's master's pet."
Skirk: "..."
She silently mourned for thirty seconds for her master, Surtalogi.
In the Parallel Teyvat World, her master's pet was probably about to change owners.
Skirk gave a wry smile and shook her head.
The next second, she suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Her master, Surtalogi, possessed the power to travel beyond worlds.
She rarely saw her master in person.
Furthermore, although the Narwhal was Surtalogi's pet, it had always been Skirk who raised and looked after the Narwhal.
The reason she appeared in Fontaine at that time was because she sensed an anomaly from the Narwhal, and ultimately, she retrieved the Narwhal from Neuvillette.
And she discovered that her disciple, Tartaglia, had even fought with the Narwhal.
The things she encountered in her own world were already absurd enough.
This time, she realized that perhaps in the Parallel Teyvat World, her situation might be even worse.
Skirk: "This is bad, I might encounter Su Bai."
Paimon: "I know, I know! You want to reclaim your master's pet, the Narwhal!"
Lumine: "I remember Skirk uses Abyssal Power, right?"
Skirk: "..."
Aether: "..."
Dainsleif: "As someone who also uses Abyssal Power, I didn't expect Aether to not be the first to meet Su Bai."
Enjou: "Good, now we can see what Abyssal Power looks like when it confronts Su Bai."
Skirk: "Is there something wrong with your head, Abyss Lector? His normal combat power is over a hundred thousand times that of Phanes. Even if everyone in all of Teyvat combined, they wouldn't be enough for him to play with. You want me to clash with him?"
Enjou: "What a short-tempered Damselette you are. And even if I didn't say anything, knowing yourself, would you just stand by and watch Su Bai take the Narwhal without understanding his identity?"
Skirk: "..."
Furina: "Hmm! Su Bai went straight past me to find Focalors. Is he worried that I might plead for Focalors and found it troublesome, so he didn't bother with me?"
Neuvillette: "It's not impossible."
Zhongli: "In that case, Focalors…"
Hu Tao: "Is she in grave danger? No way, I think as long as Focalors doesn't talk back and admits her mistakes, she'll be fine."
"Opera Epiclese."
"Deep within the secret passage beneath the stage."
"The bright blue elemental core flickered, its luster significantly dimmer than before."
""Focalors…""
"A tall figure stood before the core, gazing at it for a long time."
"Ever since Teyvat's energy upgraded from elemental power to the Light of Day, Neuvillette felt all the power within his body being drained."
"Through recent rumors, he finally understood that due to the world's ascension, the Teyvat World no longer possessed elemental power."
"Currently, in Teyvat, anyone without a Vision is just an ordinary person."
"Even Focalors, who once possessed a Gnosis, was no exception."
"Because of the Gnosis's Failure, she could no longer accumulate the power of popular belief."
"In the past few days, the Oratrice Mecanique D'analyse Cardinale's operation has been entirely supported by Furina's power."
"And Furina had previously revealed to Neuvillette that Su Bai would descend upon Fontaine to pardon the sins of the Fontainians."
"Although Neuvillette did not support her previous expedition, this time, Furina warned Neuvillette that no matter what happened, he must absolutely not have any friction with Lord Su Bai."
"Only in this way, perhaps Furina might still consider Neuvillette's diligent attitude towards Fontaine for five hundred years and try to plead with Su Bai on his behalf."
"After all, Furina had witnessed the tragic state of the Pyro Dragon Lord and the Electro Dragon Lord."
""You don't know how powerful Lord Su Bai is, Neuvillette…""
""The Pyro Dragon Lord and the Electro Dragon Lord almost became delicious dishes on Lord Su Bai's table.""
""Fortunately, Lord Su Bai was in a good mood that day and handed them over to the rulers of their respective regions.""
""But you are different from them; you have been diligently working for Fontaine since your birth.""
""As long as you don't act so high and mighty, it is presumed that Lord Su Bai 923 will not make things difficult for you.""
"Recalling Furina's advice to him, Neuvillette's heart did not stir with too strong emotions."
"As the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, how could he be afraid of death?"
"However, during these five hundred years, he had indeed developed deep feelings for Fontaine."
"Unfortunately, he was now just an ordinary person, no longer the Hydro Dragon Sovereign of Fontaine, and powerless to serve as Fontaine's Chief Justice."
"Neuvillette recalled the scene when he was first born and met Focalors."
"It was she who painted various colorful worlds for him, and so, Neuvillette, dragon and all, came to Fontaine."
"He then discovered that Focalors had suddenly changed as if she were a different person."
"Five hundred years, a full five hundred years, and only now did he understand what Focalors was truly doing and why she had so strongly insisted that he come to live in Fontaine."
""Now I have no way to save the people of Fontaine, but fortunately, the new Sustainer of Heavenly Principles from Celestia will come personally.""
""By then…""
"Neuvillette spoke as if delivering a dying message to an old friend."
"However, before he could finish speaking, a sudden chill from behind made him shiver involuntarily."
"He had never felt such a bone-chilling sensation, and even his movement to turn his head was slightly stiff."
"Not far away, two figures slowly appeared in Neuvillette's eyes."
"Especially the black-haired man; with just one glance, Neuvillette felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy."
"And the white-haired, golden-eyed woman by the man's side, whose hair reached her waist."
"Her indifferent gaze seemed capable of instantly destroying him."
"Without needing to guess much, Neuvillette instantly understood the identities of the newcomers."
"The Fifth Descender from Celestia, Sustainer of Heavenly Principles Su Bai."
"And by his side, one of the former Four Shades of the Heavenly Principles."
"Neuvillette had always regarded Celestia as usurpers who had seized the Teyvat World."
"He had finally met a visitor from Celestia, and just as he was about to say something to Su Bai, he suddenly found his throat constricted."
""This is…""
"Neuvillette trembled all over."
"The moment Su Bai looked at him, it instantly startled him and made him break out in a cold sweat."
"So that's how it is…""
"Neuvillette thought with sudden realization."
"Although he wanted to step forward and say something to him, the deep-seated fear directly prevented his actions."
"Facing Su Bai, his body dared not make any movement. Due to tension, his throat tightened, and he couldn't make any sound at all."
"He could only watch as Su Bai and Asmodeus slowly walked past him."
"Even until Su Bai and Asmodeus entered Focalors's consciousness space, Neuvillette didn't have the courage to turn back and look even once."
""What exactly happened?""
""Why did he do nothing, yet I felt an overwhelming sense of oppression that could destroy the world?""
