The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

With his candle wick almost extinguished, he doesn't have many years left to live.

Looking at the mobilized Otaku forces, Ember showed no panic. He gazed at the distant castle tower and smiled:

"I thought this doll would only be turned on a few times a year, but I didn't expect it to be so sensitive."

"But is sending only these ordinary people a sign of disrespect? Or are the puppets just not thinking straight?"

The Okuzume clan inside the castle tower had already made their way to the ruined Tenryo Magistrate's residence. Many soldiers, perhaps finding the usual route too slow, jumped down from the gaps in the broken walls.

Naturally, these soldiers became deeply entrenched in the soft soil.

"..."

Seeing this scene, both Yu Jin and his group, as well as Kujo Takayuki, fell silent.

Just moments ago, Kaede, Manyo, and Kujo Takayuki were praising Okuzawa, but they were proven wrong so quickly.

"Heh, I shouldn't have had any expectations of any of Inazuma's departments." Yu Jin chuckled a few times. He had actually believed that Otsuki's group was really that powerful after hearing them talk about it so much.

It now appears that Okuzawa perfectly fits the excellent matchmaking system of the Inazuma region.

The extremely soft soil seemed to form an insurmountable barrier, keeping the Otsu's people outside the Heavenly Regime.

Seemingly feeling that the scene was too disrespectful to their dignity, the space above the castle tower suddenly changed.

Thunderclouds gathered, and the earth grew gloomy.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and a huge crack was torn open in the space above the castle tower.

"Oh ho, want to practice?"

Yu Jin looked at the crack in the sky and said in surprise.

Chapter 463 Big news

2024-02-02

"boom!"

Amidst thick, dark clouds, a thick pillar of lightning descended from the sky, startling countless birds and beasts while illuminating the surroundings.

The wind howled, bending tree trunks and rustling leaves. The thunderstorm that had been sweeping across the outskirts now seemed to have descended upon the Inazuma inland area.

The source of all this is the enormous spatial rift atop the castle tower.

Starlight was reflected in the enormous crack, and its edges trembled constantly, as if they might close at any moment.

This reminded Ember of the Abyss Passage used by the Abyss Price List. The two looked almost identical.

However, the feeling this spatial rift gave was completely different from the abyssal passages used by the abyssal apostles.

If the Abyss Passage evokes a sense of depth and chaos, then the spatial rift atop the castle tower evokes a sense of rage.

It violently tore a hole in space, violently accumulating power within it.

The suffocating pressure spread, almost causing the Sky Lords on the ground to cry.

What a day this is! It's the day that has allowed these ordinary people to experience such terrifying pressure, so powerful it's clearly inhuman, twice in a row.

If this were someone with a heart condition, they probably would have been scared to death without even needing Ember and General Thunder to intervene.

"It's even more powerful than last time." Yu Jin looked up, stretched out his hand, and exclaimed in amazement as he felt the lightning elemental power pulsating in the air.

It's no wonder that someone with this level of elemental power could carve out a huge canyon on Bayun Island.

"What...what terrifying power."

"Is this the General's true strength?"

Feng and Wanye looked up at the purple spatial rift on the horizon. It was like a giant eye carrying infinite power, making everyone who was looked at by it tremble with fear.

Looking at the two people's hair sticking up slightly, Yu Jin found it inexplicably funny.

"No matter how much you praise her, she won't care whether you live or die."

Looking around, Yu Jin noticed that even the others in the Heavenly Territory were almost identical to Feng and Wan Ye, so he added:

"It seems that not only the two of you, but she doesn't even care about the lives of these people."

"General..."

Feng's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something in defense of General Thunder.

"I'm starting to suspect that Thor's power is related to the mind, otherwise why are you all speaking up for her like you're under a spell?"

Ember glanced at Maple and preemptively made a joke. Then he looked up at the crack leaking purple lightning, shook his head, and chuckled:

"Can a doll really feel this much pressure? I don't think I just stomped my foot, I didn't do anything else, did I?"

"Drink! Get out of my way, all of you!"

After laughing, Yu Jin gave a soft shout. Along with his voice, a visible shockwave swept through, blasting away all the people around him.

Rejection—the prayers of believers, expressed through two fingers, can create a shockwave that can knock away those around them; by accumulating power, the amplitude of the shockwave can be increased.

O faded one, since you completely trust the guidance, please reject everything else.

Although the prayer says that the faded one should reject everything else, the embers clearly will not obey.

After all, the prayer of "rejection" still carries the name of "the Force" in his hands, doesn't it?

The crowd was thrown back, and the lightning elemental power rising near the embers became even more intense.

It seems that, without any more concerns, General Thunder's power has been further enhanced.

The massive crack atop the castle tower no longer emitted any starlight; the powerful elemental force filled the void, transforming it into a dazzling purple.

After the power accumulated to its peak, the purple color suddenly contracted, and the starlight that had been shimmering in the spatial rift reappeared.

However, the reappearing starlight had barely twinkled a few times before it was obscured by an even more dazzling purple light.

The light no longer flickered from the crack; it emerged. It was a sharp, dazzling, and slender purple katana.

Along with the blade, a giant puppet arm holding it appeared outside the crack.

The doll's outstretched arm alone was as long as the entire castle tower, and the katana it held extended beyond the castle tower itself.

"Now that's the kind of power that splits a canyon!" Yu Jin exclaimed in amazement as he saw the surrounding area transformed into a sea of ​​lightning, and then raised a brass shield.

After several attempts to jump, wherever Ember landed, purple lightning followed like maggots clinging to his bones.

"Playing lock-on, huh?"

Upon seeing this, Yu Jin stopped his erratic jumping. He clearly felt that he was now locked in place by the puppet's arm on the castle tower.

Even so, Ember didn't see General Thunder appear. Was he too much of a homebody? Or was there something wrong with the puppet itself?

"In that case, let's test it out. Let's see if your blade is harder, or my shield!"

Amidst the purple light, a fiery red appeared. Ember, engulfed in flames, raised his shield, staring directly at the blade powerful enough to burn one's eyes.

"Boom!"

The puppet's arm within the crack finally made a new movement; the katana in its hand slashed down from top to bottom, tearing up a curtain of light that seemed to connect heaven and earth, illuminating both.

Even at Narukami Taisha, on the other side of Narukami Island, the awe-inspiring, enormous sword light within Inazuma Castle could be clearly seen.

"Damn it! What did those guys do?! They woke up this old lady who's been a recluse for hundreds of years!"

As Yae Shinji hurriedly ran out of the shrine, he saw the sky-high, earth-shattering curtain of light. With such power, the Shadow was definitely serious.

Although before Ying entered the Pure Land of One Heart, he always joked with Yae no Miko about stabbing her, but he could always dodge it.

However, Yae no Miko knew very well that she could indeed dodge a strike from the Shadow, but only if the Shadow didn't actually use his full power.

The Yae no Miko had only seen the shadow in this state five hundred years ago.

"Can this power... really be defeated?" In a daze, Yae no Miko pulled out the Heart of God that she was holding.

The power of the shadow was so great that it made her waver slightly about her planned future.

……

The blade descended from the sky; even before it arrived, the power it contained had already begun to cleave the ground, forming deep trenches.

"With such power leaking out like this, aren't you afraid of destroying your own city?"

Seeing the ravines of the earth stretching into the distance, Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"You thought I'd take it? Heh! Just kidding!"

The massive blade drew ever closer to the embers, so he raised his shield high.

A fiery red light rose around Yu Jin's entire body, its power so great that it tore a hole in the purple light that filled the sky. It looked as if it wanted to take the heavy blow head-on.

Surprisingly, the blade pierced through the entire body of the embers and struck the ground without any resistance.

Combat Skill: Invincible - A combat skill used by the ancient warriors of the Golden Tree.

Raise your shield high, let the golden power fill your whole body, and you will instantly become invincible.

It can be used with all shield-type weapons.

Although it was said that the power of gold was to be used, Inazuma clearly did not yet possess such strong gold power, so Ember used his own power.

"boom!"

A powerful tremor, even more terrifying than the kick from the embers, struck. Previously, only the Heavenly Territory was shaking; now, the entire Inazuma Castle was trembling.

The purple katana cleaved straight down into the earth, causing the ground to shatter and surge with turbulent elemental energy, which spread far and wide.

If the Ember's steps created cracks in the earth, then General Thunder's strike tore the earth apart entirely.

Seawater surged in through the breach in the earth, and within moments, a new outlet to the sea appeared in Inazuma Castle.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Territory is located on the side of Inazuma Castle, on a corner of Narukami Island by the sea; otherwise, that strike just now would have at least resulted in widespread bloodshed.

Of course, it still counts now. After all, fish in the sea are living beings too.
