"Yeah, destroying a world is too scary."
"Takagi, you must be trying to scare us, right?"
Paimon stared into Takagi's eyes and quickly asked.
"The thing I dreamt about has such power?" Lumine spoke softly, her tone also full of surprise.
"Unfortunately, I am not lying, nor am I trying to scare you. Paimon, Lumine, do you remember what this planet looked like when we first crossed over from Teyvat?" Takagi said.
"Of course, I remember; it was a planet completely surrounded by ice and snow. Didn't you even take a picture back then? Speaking of which, it's truly surprising that life can still survive on such a planet," Lumine said.
"Yeah, yeah! And after coming here, it doesn't feel as cold as I imagined, which is strange," Paimon nodded and chimed in.
"What if I told you that this planet originally had four seasons like Teyvat, including spring, summer, autumn, and winter? And also things like forests, oceans, and deserts?" Takagi found a chair and sat down.
"Takagi, according to you, is it because of the Stellaron that this world is covered in ice?" Jean keenly grasped the key point.
"That's right. It's because of the power of the Stellaron that this planet has become like this. If it weren't for Belobog having pre-built walls and technology to warm the entire city, this planet would have been finished long ago, let alone having any life. As for why little Paimon doesn't feel it's that cold here, it's simply because of Belobog's heating technology," Takagi said.
"It... it's because of this? Traveler, the thing you dreamt about is too terrifying." Paimon's body trembled involuntarily, and she looked at Lumine in fear.
Lumine frowned tightly and couldn't help but bite her thumb. Clearly, her mood was also far from calm.
"The power to freeze the entire world... is this the Stellaron?" Jean frowned. Hundreds of years ago, the area where Mondstadt is located was also covered in ice and snow. Because the Anemo Archon Barbatos blew away the frost, Mondstadt could have flowers, forests, rivers, and four seasons. But if it's a power that can plunge the entire world into ice and snow, could Barbatos really blow away all of it? Jean felt that even the Anemo Archon at his peak probably couldn't do it.
[Ningguang: Can Rex Lapis withstand the power that froze an entire world?]
[Zhongli: By universal rationale, it would likely be very difficult to withstand.]
[Xiangling: I... I still want to believe in Rex Lapis. After all, if he really can't stop it, wouldn't we all be finished too?]
[Cloud Retainer: With Rex Lapis's power, I believe he can handle this crisis, and we Adepti will also help him.]
[Venti: If Liyue is really frozen... not just Liyue, but Mondstadt and other countries would probably be frozen too.]
[Kujou Sara: Hmph, Takagi is just saying things; it's still unknown whether the Stellaron possesses such power.]
[Dehya: I... I also hope this isn't true.]
[Kamisato Ayato: No one, I believe, would wish for such a thing to happen.]
[La Signora: If such a thing were to happen, the six nations would be destroyed, but Snezhnaya certainly wouldn't be.]
[Tartaglia: After all, we ourselves are in a nation of eternal winter; we can always get used to ice and snow, haha.]
"Tartaglia is wrong about that; if the Stellaron were to descend upon Teyvat, Snezhnaya would not be safe either." Takagi shook his index finger at Paimon's camera and said: "Summoning ice and snow is not the most dangerous aspect of the Stellaron. Its most dangerous aspect is that it can summon countless Fragmentum zones, countless monsters, and even the ferocious Antimatter Legion. Everyone, think carefully: how would Teyvat deal with powerful enemies that cannot be completely eliminated? By the way, the most common soldiers in the Antimatter Legion can rival a regular warrior with a Vision."
[Yoimiya: No... no way! Enemies that can never be eliminated?]
[Ningguang: Antimatter Legion... another new term. Does every fighter among them possess the combat power of a regular Vision holder?]
[Lyney: If that's the case, it's truly not something to be happy about.]
"Takagi, I know about Fragmentum monsters, but what is the Antimatter Legion? Why do they appear with the Fragmentum?" Paimon asked, somewhat trembling with fear.
"The Antimatter Legion is the vast army of the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, used to destroy various worlds. To date, the Antimatter Legion has brought disaster to countless worlds and destroyed them. Furthermore, the Aeon I mentioned earlier who might be related to the Stellaron is the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook," Takagi replied.
"Aeon of Destruction? Destroyed multiple worlds? No way... is this Aeon specifically for destroying various worlds?" Barbara said in horror. She didn't expect that the previous speculations of some Teyvat people would be confirmed by Takagi.
"I always thought everyone's deductions were false. As a result, the Aeon of Destruction is actually such an evil guy?" Paimon shivered and said in surprise.
"How can there be such a terrifying Aeon? What benefit does destroying worlds bring him?" Lumine said, frowning tightly.
[Yoimiya: Yes, yes! There are so many wonderful things in the world; why destroy so many worlds?]
[Kamisato Ayaka: No matter how you think about it, this doesn't seem to benefit this Nanook at all, right?]
[Scaramouche: Heh, perhaps he has also encountered betrayal.]
"Could it be that the Aeon of Destruction is simply an evil demon king who purely wants to destroy the world?" Klee asked, a little nervously.
[Lisa: Klee, don't be afraid. Even if this Nanook is an evil demon king, I believe Takagi can protect you.]
Takagi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Lisa's message. Although he is somewhat capable now, compared to an Aeon, he is still far behind. Perhaps when he obtains enough Imaginary Energy, he can reach the level of an Aeon, but at least for now, he has not reached that level.
"Takagi, is the Aeon of Destruction really an evil demon king?" Paimon pulled Takagi's clothes and asked with both curiosity and fear.
"Actually, Aeons have no concept of good or evil; they are just steadfastly practicing the Path they have pioneered. From the moment of his birth, the Aeon of Destruction believed that the birth of the universe was an absurdity. He believes that civilization is a cancer among the stars, and conflict is the only language between intelligent beings. In order to correct this error and erase the stain on the universe, Nanook transformed into the Aeon of Destruction," Takagi shrugged.
[Scaramouche: Civilization is cancer, conflict is the only language among sentient beings... heh, truly interesting remarks.]
[Dehya: To destroy all worlds for his own opinion? No matter how you think about it, this is a mistake, right?]
[Candace: I don't like this Aeon. Compared to the Aeon of Destruction, the Aeon of Preservation is much, much better.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: The Aeon of Abundance is also worthy of worship; that level of healing power is something to yearn for.]
Takagi felt a little emotional when he saw Sangonomiya Kokomi's comment. He wondered if Kokomi, Baizhu, and others would still worship the Aeon of Abundance when they learned about the Abundance Abominations.
"So, because the Aeon of Destruction wants to destroy the world, he cast Stellarons into various worlds?" Jean looked at Takagi and asked curiously.
"This has not been confirmed." Takagi shook his head. "Because of what the Aeon of Destruction and his followers have done in the universe, coupled with the fact that the Antimatter Legion often appears where Stellarons appear, most scholars in the universe believe that the Stellaron is the work of the Aeon of Destruction. However, regardless of whether the Stellaron is a product of Nanook, worlds invaded by it often have only one outcome: destruction. That's why I say this: if a Stellaron truly descends upon Teyvat, not only will Fontaine be destroyed, but the Seven Nations and even Teyvat will not escape the fate of destruction."
