"Su Yuan, what’s going on with Zhongli right now?" Tartaglia removed his weapon and came over to Su Yuan, asking. "The condition for Zhongli’s eerie state is that someone breaks the contract in front of him..." Su Yuan replied: "The Dragon Sovereign Azhdaha signed a contract with Zhongli long ago, and he was sealed away as a result..." "Now that Azhdaha has broken the seal and come out, once Zhongli meets him, he naturally falls into a eerie state..." As Su Yuan was speaking, "Ganyu" suddenly collapsed to the ground... "Su Yuan, what’s going on with Miss Ganyu now?" Tartaglia asked again. "It looks like the time has come. Once Ganyu reaches certain time, she will enter a nap state anytime, anywhere..." Su Yuan answered, "And as long as she enters this nap state, she can reset her own condition and rid herself of the eerie’s control..." "In our original plan, we intended to use this rule to absorb the eerie energy from the rock layers and ley lines, to help Azhdaha return to normal..." "But we didn’t expect Azhdaha to arrive so quickly..." "Although the transfer and absorption were completed at the critical moment, we didn’t expect that even after removing the influence of the eerie energy, due to the wear and tear, Azhdaha still fell into erosion..." "So Zhongli, in order to prevent further damage, ultimately chose to step forward and confront Azhdaha directly..." "Azhdaha has been Zhongli’s comrade and close friend for many years. Making the sacrifice to save Liyue must have been very painful for Zhongli..." "Sigh... In the end, I’m just not strong enough," Tartaglia sighed lightly, sounding a bit helpless. "I thought after undergoing such grueling training under my master, my strength would have improved a lot, but it still isn’t enough..." At this moment, Zhongli used one hand to pry open Azhdaha’s mouth, while with the other hand he formed rocks and kept sending them into Azhdaha’s mouth... But just as Su Yuan had speculated, Azhdaha is so massive, and as an extremely pure crystal creation of the Geo element, ordinary Warth of the rock Judgement simply has no effect on him... "Morax!!!" Azhdaha roared angrily: "What do you mean by this??? Are you insulting me???" Zhongli seemed to realize that ordinary Judgement was completely ineffective against Azhdaha... So next, he wrapped the ordinary rocks with a dense layer of eerie energy... This time, Azhdaha let out a painful cry, so tragic it seemed to shake all the mountains and lands of Liyue!!! Seeing this, Zhongli showed a faint smile... Since this improved version of the Judgement works, then he would continue to execute it! So Zhongli kept stuffing rocks wrapped in eerie energy into Azhdaha’s mouth... Under Zhongli’s relentless torment, Azhdaha’s roars grew weaker and weaker, and his breath grew faint... Eerie energy truly is an overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying force... At the moment Azhdaha completely lost the breath of life, Zhongli also broke free from the eerie state and regained consciousness... Zhongli looked at Azhdaha’s huge, motionless body, gently stroked his head, and slowly spoke: "Sorry... Old friend..." "To protect Liyue, I had no choice but to do this..." "If you still have your own consciousness and reason, you would make the same choice too..." "Zhongli..." At this moment, Su Yuan and Tartaglia also stepped forward, looking at Zhongli, unsure how to comfort him... Although Zhongli’s expression showed no obvious emotion and not a single tear was shed, his heart must be filled with sadness and pain... "Su Yuan, didn’t you say you wanted to obtain the power of the Geo Dragon Sovereign?" Zhongli spoke to Su Yuan: "I remember you said back in Fontaine, as long as you were given a bit of the Dragon Sovereign’s blood, you could perfectly absorb it and obtain its power..." As he spoke, Zhongli closed his eyes and placed his hand on the body of Azhdaha... Not long after, a large stream of golden-glowing blood flew out from Azhdaha’s heart... "This is Azhdaha’s blood essence. Take it." "I... Is this really okay?" Su Yuan asked hesitantly. "Su Yuan, I know how much you desire the blood of the elemental dragon kings..." Zhongli continued: "Azhdaha is already dead now. Before long, a new Geo Dragon King might be born..." "If you wait until then to search again, it’ll likely be much more troublesome..." "Su Yuan, you’re not a bad person. If Azhdaha were still here, he would have been willing too..." "...Alright." Su Yuan nodded and absorbed all of the essence blood into his body. Immediately after, he could feel the power of Geo surging from deep within him... And perhaps because this was the entirety of Azhdaha’s essence blood—whereas last time, it had only been half of Neuvillette’s—this sensation was even stronger than before... The next moment, with just a thought, a crystal formed in Su Yuan’s hand, entirely composed of Geo elemental energy. With another shift of his mind, the Geo energy around him formed a 360-degree shield with no blind spots... Then Su Yuan condensed a Geo spear in his hand, and hurled it toward a large boulder in the distance. The terrifying force behind the throw shattered the boulder instantly... He instinctively wanted to stomp his foot—only to stop himself just in time... Su Yuan had a hunch—if he were to stomp his foot, it might trigger another earthquake in Liyue... "As expected, Su Yuan. Just as you said, your body’s adaptability and affinity for elemental power have reached an utterly unimaginable level..." Zhongli observed the scene and couldn’t help but express his amazement. Looking at the massive form of the fallen Dragon Sovereign, Su Yuan wondered: Was Azhdaha’s sacrifice truly inevitable and unchangeable? He had already experienced death and a timeline rewind, and had done everything possible to alter this outcome—yet still, he couldn’t prevent it... So then, what should he do next? Should he go searching for Dottore, hidden somewhere within Liyue? Or should he head to Mt. Aocang and visit the abode of Cloud Retainer? "Zhongli, what do you think our next step should be?" Su Yuan turned toward Zhongli—but noticed that Zhongli’s expression had grown dark. He lowered his head in silence... Once again, a sinister aura began to rise from Zhongli’s body—he was being tainted by the eerie power once more! --------------- Exclusive access : 380+ch on paetron Join now : patreon*com/DeCakraWnloverz
