"This is truly..."
"...Speechless."
"It seems I really should give you a little punishment."
"For now, I'll erase your power. Since you can raise a Narwhal, I'll punish you by having you come to Celestia to help me raise this little guy."
Erase my power?
Skirk's heart was in turmoil.
At the same time, she realized that an unimaginably massive, pitch-black python had appeared before her at some unknown point.
"This... this is..."
What on earth was this thing?
For the first time in her life, Skirk felt fear.
Her entire body felt as if it were being tightly constricted.
The power within her was also constantly draining away, as if being frantically devoured by some force.
In no time at all,
Skirk felt all the power she once controlled being completely extracted from her body.
Powerless, she couldn't maintain her position, and her body fell rapidly from a height, crashing heavily in front of Su Bai.
"Ugh!" Skirk's head felt heavy, her delicate body twitched a few times, and she immediately fainted.
"Already scared unconscious?"
"It seems next time I use Gluttony to absorb others' power, I should simulate a cute illusion."
"Giant pythons are still too scary."
Su Bai stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "But I can't be blamed. Who would have thought this woman was so timid?"
...
Chapter 60: Celestia Holds Another Meeting, New Expedition Plan
Was she really scared unconscious?
No matter how weak Skirk was, she couldn't possibly be scared unconscious by a giant python.
Although the pitch-black python that had been conjured was indeed too enormous,
Skirk clearly had an adverse reaction after her internal power was completely devoured.
Abyss Order.
Aether suddenly stood up from his seat.
One-shot kill.
The so-called Abyss Loner Swordsman, Skirk, was so easily dealt with.
But soon, Aether's excited mood calmed down.
Skirk was indeed very strong, but no matter how powerful she was, in Su Bai's eyes, she was still just an ordinary girl.
"Your Highness, the Prince..."
Enjou awkwardly called out to Aether.
Su Bai's attitude towards those with a Vision or those closely connected to The Seven Archons was completely different from his attitude towards the Abyss.
They had even anticipated their own fate if they were to encounter Su Bai.
At that time, what authority would they be able to access?
"Destruction" or "Nihility"?
Or perhaps they would be casually scattered by Su Bai like dust.
In short, they felt it would definitely be a fate of no burial ground.
Who told them they couldn't raise whales?
They also had no skills; besides researching Abyssal Power, they were useless.
"I never expected the authority of Gluttony to be able to materialize."
Aether muttered to himself, so surprised that he didn't even know what he was saying.
At this moment, the "Viewing Chatroom" also became lively.
Skirk: "How ruthless! He's really ruthless towards us who use Abyssal Power."
Yae Miko: "I think it's fine. You didn't die, did you?"
Raiden Ei: "For a martial artist, losing power is worse than being killed."
Kamisato Ayaka: "May I offer my opinion? Actually, I feel that if Ms. Skirk hadn't actively gone to him, Su Bai might have already returned to Celestia."
Lisa: "I also think so. From Su Bai's demeanor, he seemed to have already planned to turn and leave; he was called back by Skirk."
Skirk: "..."
Skirk: "I said that the me in the Parallel Teyvat World didn't know the depth of things."
Lisa: "A simple 'please wait' will let you know the depth between both parties in the future."
Skirk: "The most embarrassing thing is that I actually arrogantly brought up the Archdemon Knight, Surtalogi, in front of him..."
Paimon: "Hmm... Your saying that makes Lumine, Neuvillette, and me seem so stupid. You clearly brought him up to us with the same attitude. Why don't you feel ashamed?"
Neuvillette: "..."
Lumine: "..."
Lumine: "Brother, I now only hope that the you in the Parallel Teyvat will not follow in Skirk's footsteps."
Aether: "Don't worry, Lumine, our Loom of Fate plan still needs a long time to complete. Perhaps by then, the energy of the Parallel Teyvat World will cover the Abyss. If our plan fails, I won't be able to look for him."
Enjou: "His Highness, the Prince's wisdom is indeed unmatched."
Dainsleif: "???"
Nahida: "Shh... Can everyone please be a little quieter? I see The Seven Archons have appeared on Celestia again. Are they planning a meeting?"
Clorinde: "Even Lady Focalors has gone up."
Nilou: "They must be announcing the world where Lesser Lord Kusanali will embark on her expedition. I'm so looking forward to our Lesser Lord Kusanali's performance."
Arataki Itto: "Huh? Isn't that the Lesser Lord Kusanali from the Parallel World? Since when did she become yours?"
Collei: "You... No matter which world's Lesser Lord Kusanali, she is still Lesser Lord Kusanali."
Since the false accusation against the people of Fontaine was pardoned,
Fontaine's "Steambird" newspaper widely publicized the reasons for the changes in the Teyvat World.
The old stories were merely people's imaginings; true Visions were given to kind and noble individuals, watched over and protected by the gods.
They shone as brightly as the stars in the sky.
The gods of the Teyvat World had already expanded their divine power to worlds beyond this world.
Rejoice, exult, strive to become those watched by the gods!
Even people from outside this world longed for the attention of the Teyvat gods.
Historia Reiss, Mikasa Ackerman, Annie Leonhart, Sword Saintess...
The posters also featured exemplary individuals from other worlds who possessed Visions.
They were so dazzling, so radiant.
...
"Your Highness, the Prince, that concludes the content of the 'Steambird.'"
Aether took the newspaper handed to him by Enjou.
He glanced at it.
Hmph!
Where did they find these spokespeople?
Fontaine's Hydro Archon really dared to deceive.
Solving Fontaine's prophecy and then coming up with all this chaotic content.
Perhaps she was driven mad by the Fontaine prophecy, and unable to find a solution, she started to deceive the people of Fontaine?
"I heard that Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Furina, is inherently useless except for her love of watching plays."
"It seems it's just to appease the people whose emotions were strained by the prophecy."
"This is just like the sky of Teyvat."
Aether casually tossed the newspaper aside, not forgetting to look up and gaze at the ceiling of the Abyss Order's headquarters.
