The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The skirmisher leaped down from the sky and charged rapidly toward Anfertas. He threw a punch, his voice filled with rage.

"Crack!"

"hiss……"

Looking at his bent arm, Anfertas gasped. His health was failing him; it was truly killing him.

"Hmph, so he's just a paper tiger." Seeing how hard Anfortas was to withstand even one of his punches, the skirmisher revealed a mocking smile.

"Kid, you seem pretty arrogant?" Anfertas raised an eyebrow at the sight. Then, with lightning speed, he kicked the sneering soldier away.

With his broken hands behind his back, Anfortas raised his foot at the skirmishers: "Back when I was conquering all sides, you hadn't even put forward your general theory. What are you so arrogant about?"

"What madman's nonsense!" the straggler sneered, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward once more.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom!"

After a few dull thuds of flesh colliding, the two combatants separated. Anfertas retracted his raised leg, while the skirmisher clutched his abdomen and staggered backward.

【Ouch! O ...

Anfortas's legs kept jumping and changing, not because of Marshal Canria's amazing footwork, but simply because his feet were in too much pain.

While it may look cool to block the punches and kicks of the skirmishers, the difference in physical fitness cannot be compensated for by skill.

Although Anfortas managed to deflect the force of the skirmishers' attack to the greatest extent possible, the remaining power still made him feel unwell.

If the soldiers had hit him a few more times, his feet would probably be ruined.

However, the skirmisher lacked both the patience and the foresight. Upon realizing that his attack had been blocked by the man in front of him with just his legs, anger instantly overwhelmed him.

When has he ever been looked down upon like this?

"This game of pretend ends here, die!" Thunder roared, and a terrifying bolt of lightning gathered in the soldier's hand.

He has now decided to blast the guy in front of him who almost took his divine body into a charred mess.

"That's right, let's stop playing house here."

As Anfortas spoke, the playfulness in his tone gradually faded, and he now sounded more like he was stating a fact.

"Snapped!"

Blood splattered on the soldier's face, momentarily pausing the ferocity on his features. But before he could react, excruciating pain nearly drove him insane.

"what--"

Something seemed to be churning in his mind; everything in sight was blurry, and everything he heard was a buzzing sound.

He rolled around on the ground for a long time before finally stopping, but that was all.

The soldiers' five senses were paralyzed at this moment, their consciousness was tightly trapped in their minds, and they were unable to issue any commands to control their bodies.

Through his blurred vision, he saw the doctor jump from a height. Unfortunately, he was unable to react.

"To just give up on your own body like that, that's really decisive." Looking at the stragglers lying on the ground and the headless corpse in the distance, the Doctor realized who this guy was.

He is that unknown, vast consciousness in the void.

“It’s just something that can be easily replaced.” Anfortas’s voice became emotional again.

In the doctor's perception, his consciousness seemed to be infinite, extending to every corner of the God of the Machine.

But so what? As long as it can't break through its own blocking device, then this doll is just like the ones on the ground, only crippled.

“You are very clever. Everything about the Kingdom F-RX-017 doll was originally only in the theoretical research stage. You not only created it, but also applied its technology to yourself as a human being.”

"You are a genius."

Anfortas praised the doctor.

"You flatter me." Although there was some misunderstanding, the Doctor gladly accepted the praise from Canria.

At the same time, he began to think more deeply. The technical codenames for skirmishers alone were enough to give him many useful insights.

"So, how many people do you think your talent is enough to compete with?"

"Analysis begins."

Anfortas reverted to his previous state of absolute rationality, devoid of any emotion.

Countless consciousnesses enveloped the entire divine body of the God of the Righteous Machine, beginning to analyze all the technologies within it.

From a tiny screw to the control of the power of the Heart of God, everything is being absorbed by them. Of course, this also includes the consciousness-blocking device that the Doctor is so proud of.

On the ground, the Doctor silently watched the God of Justice, whose body was contorted in agony. A thought suddenly arose in his mind: it seems that even the true gods are nothing more than this.

"Your method is too inefficient. I can give you the complete set of techniques, and in return, you'll have to provide the same level of expertise..."

"Stop parsing..."

Thus, without the knowledge of the stragglers, the fourth betrayal quietly descended.

Chapter 715 Setting fire to the mountain is unacceptable

2024-06-07

The great dream that had swept through the entire Sumeru region came silently and vanished just as silently. The many inhabitants of Sumeru were only puzzled by their inexplicable slumber; they noticed nothing else.

Several days passed in a flash, and Sumeru was exactly the same as usual, still so hot and full of life.

"Hmph hmph hmph~~"

"it is good!"

"Hum hum!"

"no!"

"Hey! What do you mean?!"

When Dixia saw Ember booing her, she tried to grab him by the collar. Unfortunately, Ember was wearing plate armor, and Dixia had no way to get a grip on him.

“State the facts, you’re really just dancing. I thought you were performing some kind of secret desert martial art.”

Yu Jin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Dishia's dance moves weren't that stiff either, but compared to Nil, they just looked a bit lacking."

"Haha, I think so too. Your dancing isn't as good as Sammer's," Rahman chimed in from the side.

This made Dixia immediately stop what she was doing. She waved her hand somewhat irritably and said:

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! Is your task dancing? Instead of laughing at me, why don't you go scout out the location again? If you fall halfway there, no one will come to your rescue!"

"Don't worry, I've known it by heart!" Rahman patted his chest with absolute confidence.

In addition to making necessary preparations, the group also conducted on-site inspections over the past few days.

It's fair to say that they are now absolutely confident that they can completely outmaneuver the group of thirty.

"Hoo... the day of knowledge, I remember there should be three more days, right?" Nilu finished a complete dance, a kind of indescribable tension in her brows.

This was the first time in her life she had done something so rebellious, defying the ban in public—something she had never even dared to imagine before.

"Nilu, if you're worried, then stay home on the day of the Knowledge of Hidden Things. The rest of us can manage."

Dixia noticed Nel's worry and offered a word of advice.

"Do you know why Elhesen kept Dina Zede in place but allowed Nil to join the plan?"

Yu Jin leaned over and pointed to Dina Zede, who was standing to the side with an envious look on her face.

After the plan was finalized, Dina Zede realized that she had nothing to do, so she went to Elhesen to ask for some work to do as well.

Unfortunately, all she received was a simple "Take a break," and that was the end of it.

This made Dina Zede incredibly envious of Nel, envious that she could contribute to the plan to rescue the Grass God.

"Why?" Dixia was clearly surprised by this, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

“Art ban, art ban, I think it’s mainly because of the word ‘art’ in the first part.” Yu Jin said, twisting his waist as well. His dance moves were ugly and not pretty at all.

"Bang!"

Dixia understood the two words hidden in Yu Jin's words. Veins bulged on her forehead, and she looked like she was about to explode and smash someone at any moment.

She did just that, the two of them running around in and out of the empty rehearsal space, which drew laughter from the others.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

But suddenly, a series of loud noises brought everyone to a halt. After the noises, everyone saw the ground shake.

"earthquake?!"

"No? Where did the earthquake come from in Mount Sumeru? Such a big tree, does it just sit there doing nothing?"

Everyone quickly found a good spot to hide. Although there was no record of an earthquake in Sumeru, they had all heard about the power of earthquakes.

Of course, Ember wasn't among those who hid. He crouched low, hands on the ground, preparing to try and calm the earth's fury.

"Huh? It wasn't an earthquake?" Realizing that the ground beneath was completely calm, the shaking was clearly not an earthquake.

The tremors came and went quickly. Soon, the ground returned to calm.

"Wow! Brother Yu Jin, you calmed down the earthquake?" Galura, who was squatting to the side, jumped out and looked at Yu Jin with admiration.

"Of course... that's impossible!" Meeting the girl's sparkling gaze, Ember spoke the truth.

"Go outside and see what happened! It wasn't an earthquake!" With a wave of his hand, Yu Jin turned and ran out of the Grand Bazaar.

The sunlight suddenly became bright, which was somewhat unsettling. By the time the crowd had run from the Grand Bazaar to the street near the edge of the sacred tree, it was already packed with people.

"What just shot past?"

"Could this be a new weapon developed by the Command Institute?"

Why would the Order of Religion need something like this?

……

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. As one of the few with some strength, Yu Jin and his companions naturally wouldn't squeeze through the crowd—they darted up to the branches of the sacred tree.

"Good heavens... what... what is this?!"
