[elden ring]: Damn it, the shard of the elden ring is just like in the game; you have to go to the Divine Tower to activate and use it.
[dark souls iii]: Huh? You already got your first shard of the elden ring that quickly?
[elden ring]:...You call this quick?
[dark souls iii]: How is it not? I haven't even gotten my first Cinders of a Lord yet, and you've already gotten a shard of the elden ring.
[elden ring]: Those aren't the same... Besides, just talking about quantity, I have six shards of the elden ring on my end, while you only have four Cinders of a Lord. The numbers are different, so what's there to compare?
[dark souls iii]: I don't care, I'm angwy (＞д＜)
[elden ring]: (ー`ー)
[elden ring]: I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that the Ashen One was a goofball who always caused trouble, but I didn't know he could be this disgusting. As soon as I entered the Chat Group, he actually started using baby talk. Blegh~
[dark souls iii]: Baby talk-y? Who's that? So gwowss.
[elden ring]@[Sekiro]: I've finished using immortal severance. Also, I've noticed your immortal severance seems to have quite a bit of spirituality; maybe if you nurture it well, a Blade Spirit might appear.
Tarnished Xia Yu decided to ignore the Ashen One. Being a goofball was contagious, and he didn't want to become one just yet.
[Sekiro]: A Blade Spirit? That sounds great, hehehe. I hope baitai becomes a little red-haired girl.
[clash of clans]: What the hell? You want to do a sword?
[Sekiro]: Can you please go die for a bit?
[dark souls iii]: What? Natsujiro, you hope baitai's Blade Spirit is a nine-foot-tall homo hunk with red hair, dark skin, broad shoulders, and a wasp waist? May your wish come true.
[Sekiro]: You █████████!
[Sekiro]:?
[Sekiro]: What's this? Black bars? Why are there black bars?
[elden ring]: This is the Chat Group's built-in censorship. When someone loses their cool and starts swearing, the Chat Group blocks it.
[Sekiro]: Why does the Chat Group even have this thing... [dark souls iii]: Hehe, someone's mad! Someone's really mad!
[Sekiro]: I ████████!
[Sekiro]: F**k!
Ashina Xia Yu closed the Chat Group in a fit of rage, choosing 'out of sight, out of mind.' He really didn't know how the others tolerated the Ashen One, or how they managed to resist punching him.
If there was ever a chance for an offline meetup, he would definitely pin the Ashen One to the ground and rub his face in the dirt, letting him know that even he wouldn't be polite when he got serious.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. This wouldn't do; he'd go vent on the Interior Ministry Army!
With fire in his heart, Ashina Xia Yu immediately headed toward the Interior Ministry's camp. He had originally wanted to try nurturing baitai with spiritual energy, but at the thought of the nine-foot-tall hunk the Ashen One mentioned, he couldn't help but shudder.
It was no good; now whenever he thought of baitai, the image of Yujiro Hanma would surface. He wouldn't be able to nurture baitai for a while.
Damn you, Ashen One! I hope you die a horrible death, aaaaaah!
...[dark souls iii]: Where'd he go? Left already? Is that really me? Why is his stress tolerance so weak?
[clash of clans]: With that mouth of yours, you're going to offend all of us sooner or later.
[dark souls iii]: Hi hi hi, still with the alarmist talk? Am I not still alive and well?
[elden ring]: Damn it, when's the next meetup? I want to punch the Ashen One again.
[Genshin Impact]: Punching the Ashen One again? What did he do?
[elden ring]: See the chat history above for yourself.
[Genshin Impact]@[dark souls iii]: Are you a masochist? Why do I feel like you want to be hit so badly?
[dark souls iii]: Brothers, the God called our Xia Yu a masochist! Get him!
The Xia Yus:...Our eyes aren't blind. It was clearly you who said it.
[Genshin Impact]@[elden ring]: A shard of the elden ring? I wonder if it can be used in my world. Osial is about to break free here, so I'm planning to go grab some loot.
[elden ring]: Let me activate it first. I'm currently heading to the Limgrave Divine Tower with Blaidd and the others.
After Tarnished Xia Yu defeated Godrick, he naturally met up with Blaidd and the others. Fortunately, the battle underground hadn't affected them.
However, when he met up with Blaidd's group, he saw someone unexpected yet expected.
Nepheli Loux, a barbarian warrior woman.
This warrior was also someone the protagonist interacted with in the game; in the later stages, the protagonist could even decide the outcome of her fate.
Either make her one's puppet or let her become the new monarch of Stormveil.
Of course, in reality, he and Nepheli had only just met. None of the late-game stories had happened yet, and there was no sense of camaraderie between them since he had defeated Godrick all by himself.
So, at most, he and Nepheli were just nodding acquaintances. He didn't know if their paths would cross again later.
This was the real world, after all. It couldn't be exactly like the side quests in the game, where things wouldn't start without him or would only progress because of him.
Meeting Nepheli was just a chance encounter. After a brief chat, she left on her own.
After that, Rogier also chose to leave. However, before he departed, Xia Yu did not forget his promise and told Rogier the secret behind the birth of those who live in death.
They were lives that existed by mistake and should not have existed in the world in the first place.
After hearing his explanation, Rogier left in a daze. Seeing this, Xia Yu didn't say much more. He could tell that Rogier still hadn't given up hope.
Unless he saw tangible evidence, Rogier would probably rather risk his own life than give up.
He then set out with Blaidd and Darryl toward the Limgrave Divine Tower. For him, activating the shard of the elden ring was the top priority... [elden ring]: It's just that the journey is a bit long. Sigh, why is The Lands Between so big? And Blaidd and the others can't teleport via sites of grace, so we can only walk step by step.
[elden ring]: By the way, the Osial you mentioned, is that Osial, Overlord of the Vortex?
[Genshin Impact]: Who else would it be... [elden ring]: So how do you plan to get benefits? Directly devour Osial's authority?
[Genshin Impact]: I'd like to, but that's obviously impossible. He's a God just like me, after all, and he hasn't dissipated like the God of Salt; he's only been sealed.
[elden ring]: Then how are you going to get any benefits?
[Genshin Impact]: When he gets blasted by the Jade Chamber, I'll secretly go snatch a portion of his soul or chop off a few of his heads. Anyway, everything from a God is quite useful.
[elden ring]: Good grief, you're planning to be a complete bystander.
[Genshin Impact]: Even Old Man Zhong isn't doing anything, so why should I worry? At most, I'll save some innocent people. As for the fighting, I'll leave that to the Traveler and those Adepti.
[Genshin Impact]: It's just that those Adepti feel a bit unworthy of their name. Although they have 'Immortal' in their titles, they don't feel as strong as the Soul Transformation Stage from those two cultivation worlds.
[elden ring]: The world rules are different, so they're bound to be different.
[Genshin Impact]: That's why I've already taught Old Man Zhong the true method of cultivation. If I can condense spiritual energy in the Genshin world, it means this world can definitely support cultivation.
[elden ring]: Why did you suddenly teach him cultivation?
[Genshin Impact]: I was bored.
[elden ring]: As long as you're happy...
