Chapter 184: The Kanreya War
"After you and Rosalyn stopped worrying about the baby, you got caught up in the question of whether Rustan was a new snack.
At the same time, as Ying's power showed signs of being unable to completely curb the pollution of the abyss, in order to prevent the disaster of the abyss from coming, Rhinedot also discussed with the other five people and set out together to stop the [Black King] from using the abyss to shake the foundation of the world.
You knew about this, but what Reindorte had mentioned was merely a minor issue, perfect for resolving while you were visiting your family in Mondstadt. Reindorte said with a smile, "Your return will be perfect for further research into your power..."
No one knew how things would develop and how it would get out of control.
——A catastrophe broke out in Kanrea.
Located southwest of the Fupanpura Ruins, the technology developed by the underground Kanriya through the power of the abyss has suffered a huge backlash.
Especially when Kanreya has already used the power of the abyss for its power devices, any harmless treatment cannot prevent the abyss from infecting the country of Kanreya.
When the disaster occurred, [Golden Rhinedot] did not step forward to stop it. She sat quietly in the alchemy room for a while, drank a cup of afternoon tea, and released the lonely children in the abyss whom she still pitied.
She sighed and said, "Go, children, go to your father. You must leave your mother and spend the last days of your life growing up with your father."
Facing these lives, Rhinedort always has more patience, and seems to be still the court alchemist before he gained power from the Black King.
"Don't feel lost or hesitant. The power of your lovely and respectable father will accompany you until—"
"Reach him."
Durin and Erinus tilted their heads in confusion, turned back in reluctance and bewilderment, and listened to their mother's final teachings.
Meanwhile, you and Rosaline are on your way back to Mondstadt...
Simoge, who had been left in Xumi to look after Yaksha, suddenly appeared. She sighed with pity and said, "Impass, your power couldn't stop the coming of the dark wave; it only delayed it for a while."
You looked at her outstretched wings, and then at her expression as if she had foreseen something.
"Just like the decision that Buyer made back then, she personally plucked her successor from the tree like a special fruit... Simoger, you've already sensed your future, are you ready to make your choice?"
"Sure enough, you had already discovered it then." Simoger nodded lightly, just like you before you had a connection with humans, and sang the harmony of millions of flowers in a light and cheerful manner.
"My fate of sacrifice was already predetermined. This is the prophecy left by my mother. Do not feel sad for me. I will not retreat in fear."
Hearing this, you were speechless for a moment at your friend's determination to sacrifice himself. You felt deeply sad as you thought about who Simoger's mother was.
"Impas, my dear friend, I'm sad to leave too! I've already met the most adorable human, and following you as a partner in justice... This journey has been such a joy. Even the Yaksha's whispers seem so familiar."
Seymour Gwen said to comfort him, "Rather than waiting for fate to strike, witnessing countless sacrifices after countless lovely people falling, and then stepping forward, I should learn from you and become a steadfast partner of justice from the very beginning."
"It won't be too soon. Before that, the Lord of Nectar and the Lord of Grass and Trees will die before me."
Others might not understand what you're saying, and you don't really understand either, except for a vague feeling. Simoger tells you that your power isn't enough to resolve this dark wave.
Just like the rainforest you have passed by thousands of times, gaps will form between the trees in the treetops. The academic name is "crown shyness."
The blocking that Ximog can do is like this, which can block most of the passages in the abyss, but it will inevitably leave some problems due to the gaps.
So, you decided to stand up.”
"Rosaline doesn't know what you're going to do, and you don't know how far you can go. Anyway, you have to start taking action.
The first problem to be solved is the riot of the Yaksha Immortal. Ximoge told you that not long after she came to find you, the Yaksha broke free from its restraints and left the area originally designated by Ximoge.
——He headed towards Liyue.
Confused, but with a firm step.
You and Rosaline have not yet left the territory of Xumi and are not aware of what drastic changes have taken place.
Because Buyer suppressed the forbidden knowledge, Xumi seemed calm and no gods showed up. Perhaps this kind of thing was unusual, so there was no way to seek the answer to the question from the God of Wisdom.
You are here, the road becomes a forest, and you are going in the opposite direction from Rosaline. The mecha transforms into the small motorcycle you often ride. You say you want to look back, refuse Rosaline's company, and send her home.
"You're just a few years older, so you don't need me to take care of you anymore?" Rosalyn was worried. "There are no elders in our family anymore. You are my only brother."
"I didn't say that!" You refused to allow Rosaline to escalate the issue, waving your hands and saying with a smile, "I'm about to start a manly battle. You know me, Roland. I can't get used to a heavy, depressing atmosphere. I'm determined to stir up this dead thing!"
"...What a bad joke."
Rosalyn's voice was low and hoarse, the sadness in her expression almost bursting out, she turned her head away and stopped looking at you.
"Hahaha, besides! Aren't you going back to Mondstadt? Rustam is still waiting for you, right? Go to him. I'm very strong, and you're busy enough worrying about him."
…
The Yaksha you picked up goes towards the direction of the Abyss of Rocks, Ximoge will fly back to the ruins of [Fupanbala Kassapa], and you stand on the land of Xumi, overlooking the expansion and defeat of the Dead Zone.
——And this is Buyer’s battlefield.
So, where is your battlefield?
Your mecha is a fusion of machinery and violence, technology and fantasy, metal and gunpowder. To prevent the disaster and prevent the sacrifice, attacking Gustott alone is not enough.
But you know, Ying's purification power is not enough, and your [stealing] power is not enough to solve it...
But no matter what, you walked towards Kanriya, the direction where the breath of the abyss condensed and lingered.
Whether you can do it or not is something to consider later, and your current actions are to solve the problem of how to do it.
——You met [Durin] and [Erinus].
From afar, a vast number of abyss monsters were wriggling under the dragon's massive shadow.
Your head ached, and you didn't react immediately. You just asked where they were going. Durin and Erinus answered in unison, "To where our father is."
"Wherever Father goes, we go."
This answer made only one answer come to your mind - Mond.
Durin, Mondstadt, Snow Mountain...
The throbbing pain in your head seemed to have some aftereffects, but time was running out, so you didn’t dwell on it. You waved your hand, and the mecha emitted a dazzling light. The monster below turned to ashes in the white light. “Then—”
"Come with me to Kanreya."
Go find Ying and complete what you want to do."
"When you found Ying, she was panicking under a sky full of chains and black squares. She crossed the lava on the ground and stood on a high place, helplessly gazing at this fallen country.
"Ahem, what's wrong? Are you at the age where you think you are not the protagonist?" Clearing your throat, you stand out from behind her.
"...Impas?" Ying's eyes were filled with tears. She lowered her head in despair and knelt on the ground, trying to explain something. "My power couldn't save the world. That plan... failed."
"I don't know what other plans you have behind my back!" You squatted down and pulled the feather on Ying's drooping ear clip. "Want to come to my side? I should have said this before, and now I'll say it again-"
"Join me as a partner of justice and save the world together!"
"I need your help, Ying."
Ying looked up at you in a daze, "Okay."
"This time, it's not a joke."
"I never joke around."
…
When six of the Seven Gods received orders from Sky Island and descended to the source of the disaster [Kanria], they saw two humans with young faces standing side by side.
——In the face of disaster, they stand closer than the six gods.
Barbatos, the Wind God, recognized one of them. He remembered the names of all the people of Mond, including yours, of course.
[Thunder God Baal] also recognized you, but did not act rashly.
"The wind told me that they are trying to end this disaster." Barbatos said softly with clear eyes.
For a moment, no one spoke, only the wind blew gently. In this horrific scene, they did not whistle triumphantly.
As you raise your hand, dark, evil, twisted, whispering forces flow from far and near, from all directions, towards the sky, and gather at your fingertips.
Buyer, who had been struggling to suppress the forbidden knowledge, felt the pressure suddenly ease, and a flash of enlightenment came into his brain connected to the World Tree.
The demon god, the Devil's Hate, which had suddenly grown stronger and out of control during the invasion of the abyss, gradually weakened.
The eyes of the unconscious Yaksha in the rocky abyss gradually became clear. He stood there in a daze, touching his head which felt a little painful, and always felt that a bird like the golden roc would suddenly take a bite of him.
——You stole all the concepts of chaos and disorder.
Ying's expression was calm, his hand resting loosely on your back, and the white power penetrated into your body.
"Gustott, here comes a surprise!" Seeing that the fluorescence is almost purified, you excitedly throw it hard and rub the rest into the dark crack.
"Ying! Quick, block it!!!" You babble briefly, "I've discovered that some of the gathered power isn't Gustott's! With this level of purity, I'll detonate it in an instant!"
"What?" Ying was horrified and quickly released her strength to hold it down. "Do you have to do this every time?!"
"Come on! I haven't even blown up the pit to give him some local specialties yet, just play with it for a little while." You gestured "a little bit".
"Besides, we saved the world, Ying."
Just as you grinned back, the relaxed look on Ying's face suddenly disappeared completely.
"Curse..." A strange voice sounded from the sky, "The source of disaster, curse the undead."
A giant eye, pitch black and covered with eyes, opened and looked down from the sky."
