The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Oh!"

The very top of the "rope" suddenly burst open, and the intertwined giant trees were separated into a single strand.

From a distance, it looks like a giant hand opening up in the rainforest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the huge iron ball in the distance.

"Boom!"

"Squeak-"

The intertwined hands of the trees caught the head of the relic's heavy machine perfectly, and the enormous force was transmitted to the ground, causing the surrounding strata to rise and creating a ring of low hills.

"Kakaka!"

Everything about the tree rapidly turned to wood; soon, the green trees that had grown in the mist and rain were tinged with a tough brown.

And those terrifying "creaking" sounds have disappeared as a result.

The enormous iron ball, hundreds of meters long, was firmly held in mid-air. The price paid was merely the addition of a ring of loosely soiled hills in the rainforest... and two exhausted white badminton shuttlecocks.

"I'm so...so tired..."

“Just bury yourself in the ground and lie there for a while,” the Great Tree King said with great experience—she had already buried herself in the ground, leaving only her head.

"..."

After a period of quiet, two small white heads emerged from the ground in the rainforest, looking at them at first glance like white mushrooms that had grown after a fresh rain.

……

"call!"

"Stop chasing me! I can't do anything—"

Ember's figure darted through the yellow sand, the gale he stirred up creating huge gashes in the otherwise flat sea of ​​sand.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"How can someone run so fast?!"

Behind the figure was a giant, sprinting puppet, tens of meters tall. Despite its enormous size, it was anything but slow.

It's hard for anyone to associate something that leaves a trail of afterimages with the word "sluggish."

Even so, it couldn't catch up with the rapidly running embers ahead.

As the earth trembled, the giant puppet chased after a human figure that looked like an ant in the sea of ​​sand. Every now and then, it would slip and fall into the tomb of an ancient civilization, built at an unknown time.

However, for a creature of its size, man-made structures are like building blocks for children, offering no resistance whatsoever.

They traversed the sea of ​​sand and crossed ravines, running deep into the desert. Then, the embers ahead came to a halt.

"Huff... What's wrong? Can't run anymore?"

Anfortas grinned.

Goodness, that long run almost made him think he was a raw recruit being led on a cross-country run by his instructor.

Chapter 727 A Lie of "Kindness"

2024-06-18

"Run? That's only because there were too many people around before." Yu Jin crossed his arms and looked up at the enormous giant opposite him.

"This place is quite nice. It's open and deserted, so you can do whatever you want."

"Hahaha, it seems you're unwilling to surrender. Very well, this is a good opportunity to test your strength and the strength of this body!"

Upon hearing this, Anfortas laughed a few times, and then two triangular lightning element crystals began to appear on his two huge palms.

"Whizzing!"

He threw out two lightning element crystals, which stirred up a huge dust storm on the ground—these two triangular objects actually had a physical form!

It takes immense power for elemental forces to solidify, but Anfortas did it effortlessly, demonstrating his formidable strength.

The thrown lightning triangle wasn't particularly fast, and Ember easily dodged it. However, Anfotas hadn't intended to hit Ember in the first place; condensing elemental energy into stone to pelt someone? Even a Hilichurl wouldn't waste such a thing.

"Om 呲——"

The thunder triangle buried deep beneath the sand emitted a dazzling purple lightning bolt, which then expanded instantly, engulfing everything in its path.

"boom!!!"

Two enormous semicircles rose from the desert, leaving nothing but scorched earth in their wake.

The once cloudless sky darkened due to the influence of these two immense elemental forces. Countless bolts of lightning shot out from the dark clouds, mingling with the shockwaves spreading below, creating a scene resembling the arrival of the apocalypse.

"Bah..."

The lightning only stopped after it had spread far into the distance, and the dark clouds in the sky stopped roaring and began to pour down a heavy rain.

The barren, arid desert had its weather altered by a divine intervention.

"laugh--"

The molten sand sea cooled instantly upon contact with the falling raindrops, transforming into a large, uneven mirror.

"Hiss... Thank goodness, otherwise if this happened again in the rainforest, the Great Tree King would go crazy."

Yu Jin stepped onto the smooth mirror surface. He looked up and saw nothing but blinding reflections.

Without a doubt, this place will become the hottest spot in Teyvat after the battle—provided that this glassy sea survives the next battle.

"The power of the gods is indeed formidable." Anfortas looked around; his tall stature allowed him to see the edge of the Glass Sea.

This power was so great that a city could be destroyed with a casual throw. Anfortas had truly experienced the might of the gods.

At the same time, he also began to understand why the seven kingdoms on earth believed in gods. Facing such a power was like facing nature itself, so it was no wonder that the gods had so many devout followers.

“Strong, huh? Let’s do it again, I’ll show you something even stronger.” Ember beckoned to Anfortas from the ground, his tone full of provocation.

"You're actually alright? I don't recall you being one of the Seven Gods, a defeated demon god?"

Anfortas was astonished to see the embers leaping and taunting in the glass sea. That attack was something only a god could withstand. Not only had the creature before him endured it, but it seemed completely unharmed.

"I've never seen you before? You talk too much. Here you go!"

A staff appeared in Ember's hand. He leaned back, stretching his arm holding the staff out as if he were about to throw it at someone.

He only did the thing of hitting people with his staff when Ember's intelligence was less than 10 points; he stopped doing it after that.

A bluish-green light gathered on the staff, and then Ember tossed it with his arm. Instead of throwing the staff, the bluish-green light flew out.

Heimon Cannonball – One of the Radiant Stone Magics of the Magic Academy of Realucaria. It can unleash magical projectiles that fly in a parabolic trajectory, and its power can be increased by charging it up.

The magic taught in the Heimos Classroom is equivalent to the academy's judge of good and evil. Magic exists to quell conflict.

"boom!"

The cannonball, trailing a fiery tail like a comet, struck the God of War squarely in the chest, accompanied by a massive explosion, as blue magical flames surged through the air.

"Boom!"

Anfortas was pushed back a few steps by the force. Although the cannonball did not produce a large spark, its power was incredibly solid, which made him begin to reassess the strength of the Ember.

"Awesome! But that's what makes it interesting!" Anfortas wiped the magic residue from his chest, his competitive spirit ignited by the embers.

He hasn't made a move since hiding this line of Kanriyans, but it seems today he can finally satisfy his long-suppressed desire for battle.

"Like fighting? I'm way past your age." Ember noticed the change in Anfortas's tone and casually picked at his ear.

Like fighting? That's something only young people with nowhere to channel their energy do; he's long since moved past that stage.

Well, it wasn't exactly smooth sailing. Ember lost count of how many times he died at the hands of various enemies.

"You're the first to describe wear and tear with such clarity and sophistication!"

As Anfortas spoke, he raised his hands to his chest. A massive amount of elemental power gathered from his chest to the center of his palms, the immense force causing the chest of the God of Mechanics to twist irregularly.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp and swift laser beam shot out from between the hands of the God of War, heading straight for the embers on the ground.

"I'll dodge!"

Without a word, Ember took off running. But the laser wouldn't give up, following it as it moved across the land.

The earth resembled a smooth cake, relentlessly sliced ​​by lasers. The cuts left behind were smooth and even, revealing a dazzling purple interior. Anything that fell into the cuts would be swallowed up by the residual, intense elemental power.

"No way? Could he be dead?"

The embers ran from the glass sea into the sand sea, and then back into the glass sea. The laser could draw pictures on the ground as it went back and forth, but the earth remained completely still.

"You're the one who's dead!!!"

Seemingly unable to bear the commotion on the ground, or simply angered by Ember's words, the ground finally began to move.

"Boom!"

The earth shook, accompanied by the deafening crash of massive objects colliding, and a laser beam suddenly sliced ​​through the sky, splitting the dark clouds overhead in two.

As the embers turned around, they saw a huge gap in the ground, and the God of the Righteous Machine had already been propelled into the air by the giant dragon that appeared in the gap—a true takeoff.

The God of the Righteous Machines was indeed tall, several tens of meters, but compared to Apep's body, it was not much different from the comparison between him and the Ember.

"call!"

A huge fireball fell from the sky, but Apep simply burrowed into the ground and used his exposed tail to lash out at the falling fireball.

"boom!"

The fireball exploded, and Apep retracted his burning tail, rubbed it on the ground, and then exposed his upper body again.

"Flames, what a nuisance." She looked at the charred remains on her tail and frowned.

Although regular flames could no longer harm her, as a grass dragon, Apep's aversion to fire was almost innate.

"This is... a dragon?!" Anfotas landed steadily on the ground in the distance. He saw Apep's enormous body and, considering the strength she had displayed, instantly understood Apep's identity.

"That's right! You know I'm a dragon and you still dare to make such a racket on my turf? You don't want to live anymore, do you?!"

Apep ground his teeth, the feeling of having his sweet dream disturbed was not pleasant.

“This guy did all of this, it has nothing to do with me!” Ember jumped onto Appepp’s head and quickly added.

Apep glanced at Ember; she didn't believe he hadn't made a move at all, but now wasn't the time to dwell on that.
