The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The two white figures instantly transformed into two streaks of light, weaving through the lush vegetation of the rainforest.

And the destination was the mushroom cloud that roared up in the distance.

……

"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? Why didn't you tell me beforehand! I'm your boss in name only!"

Inside an elegant yet dignified office in the Mo Mang Palace, a young woman with blue and white jellyfish-like hair and wearing a suit and dress was clinging to the leg of a man who was also dressed in an elaborate formal suit, quite unceremoniously.

The train of her dress completely covered the ground, and the hat on her head was crooked, making one wonder if it would fall off at any moment.

As Navelette sensed the intense fluctuations of power from the nearby area and noticed the large amount of water being lost from Fontaine, her sense of urgency intensified.

“I’m sorry, the situation is urgent. I will complete the necessary procedures later. During my absence, your safety will be the sole responsibility of Clarin.”

"sieve!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Funina staggered and almost fell to the ground.

After regaining her balance, she looked around. In the huge office, there was no sign of Violet. All that remained was the dampness on her arms as she hugged her thighs.

"boom!"

"Lady Navelette!"

Just as Funina was lying on the ground, feeling depressed and unwilling to get up, the office door was violently pushed open with a "bang".

And just like a door that suddenly opened, Funina straightened up from the ground with a "whoosh".

"Lady Furina, do you know where Lady Vilette is? It's a complete mess outside!"

“Vilette just went out, and I don’t know where he went! I’ll go out and see!” Funina kicked the carpet first, then ran past the person and out of the Mo Mang Palace.

As soon as she stepped out of the Mo Mang Palace, a continuous roar echoed in Fu Ningna's ears. She hadn't gone far before she stopped.

“What…what is that?!?”

Using the height of the Momang Palace, Funingna could see the explosion in the distance more clearly.

The boundary between Fontainebleau and Mount Sumeru is clearly defined, with one side being a desolate yellow and the other a refreshing blue.

Far from Fontainebleau in the desert, a spectacular mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Although it appears to be some distance from Fontainebleau, the strong winds it brings have already caused the waters at the edge of Fontainebleau to surge and the white flowers to splatter.

Startled by what she saw, Funina took a few steps back, completely bewildered by what had happened on Sumeru's side. If an explosion of this magnitude were to occur in Fontaine, it would be several times more powerful than the previous explosion at the Fontaine Laboratory.

"Navilette, Navilette, you must come back safely!" After the shock, Funina began to pray for Navilette.

However, the guards on duty, seeing Funina with her hands clasped together and her head bobbing up and down, wisely refrained from asking her what kind of blessing ritual she was performing.

It's best for us common soldiers not to concern ourselves too much with the Water God's affairs.

……

Sailing on the sea of ​​Fontainebleau, Navelette witnessed firsthand how the calm sea turned into a turbulent sea.

The gale carried sand and dust into the azure sea, also making Violet's hairstyle a mess.

However, he himself did not care about these things; he only cared about the great river that appeared in his field of vision.

Navigette, who was well-versed in the map of Fontainebleau, clearly remembered that there were originally no rivers here. He came to the gap in the sea, where a massive amount of seawater poured down and flowed into the depths of the desert along newly created artificial rivers.

Looking at the fresh marks eroded on both sides of the riverbank, Villette had reason to suspect that the river had been newly dug, and not long ago.

As for the reason... he closed his eyes, and the water became the extended limbs of Navelette. He could feel a stream of water that belonged to Fontaine now extending into Sumeru, and the end point was just ahead!

"The desert..."

Navelette stepped forward into Sumeru, and the cool, humid air instantly became hot and dry, causing him, who loved water, to involuntarily retreat.

However, the nearby gale-force winds, the towering mushroom cloud in the distance, and the river that kept extending towards the explosion site all indicated the urgency and danger of the situation.

In an event of this magnitude, it seems he's the only one in Fontaine qualified to participate. Perhaps we should also include Frinina and that Fool from the House of Hearths?

Navelette shook his head; he couldn't count on either of them. So he took a deep breath and flew close to the river's surface toward the desert.

……

"Comet Duck Fun!"

Ember raised his staff, and immense magical power—or perhaps more accurately, his soul or will—flowed forth through the medium gem at the top of the staff, transforming into a dazzling torrent of starlight.

The starlight shattered everything, and the duck was not happy. When the rapids subsided, a smooth cross-section appeared before him, stretching to the horizon.

"rumble!"

"Wow, so fast! The water in Fontainebleau is amazing!"

Perhaps due to the terrain, the water in Fontainebleau flows extremely fast, and even though the embers used Comet Azler to clear a path, the water flow could catch up quickly.

The embers run ahead, the water chases behind—he's repeated this scene several times. A few more times, and Appepp will be able to roll around in the water!

However, just when he thought everything would continue as usual, an unexpected incident occurred.

"Stranger, you have violated Fontaine's Natural Resources Protection Law. As the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, I order you to immediately cease your illegal activities!"

A blue light appeared in front of Ember, then dissipated, revealing a person Ember had never seen before.

"What? The Supreme Judge of Fontaine? Brother, this is Mount Sumeru!"

As Yu Jin ran, he picked at his ear, genuinely a little surprised. Wasn't Fontaine's enforcement efficiency incredibly high? He'd only been gone a short while, and he'd already been caught red-handed?

"..."

Navelette glanced at the endless yellow sands around him. Oh right, it's no longer under his jurisdiction as Supreme Judge.

If we really want to take control, we need to coordinate with Xumi first.

"Then you must have violated the laws of Sumeru, and I am your witness! If you don't want a harsher sentence, stop right now!"

"Huh? What did you say?" Ember used Comet Azle again at the end of the river, and then he suddenly felt the resistance on his staff disappear.

"I said... wait... Sumeru..."

Villette caught a glimpse of the distance and instantly forgot to warn Ember. On the horizon, the entire land seemed to have been sliced ​​in two, with an endless gap between the two sections.

Upon closer inspection, Vilette breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the earth had not been cut in half; there was only a large crater several kilometers long.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... what the hell are you exhaling for!

"Hey! Do you even know what happened here?!" Navelette scratched her hair, looking shocked as she asked Ember.

"I don't know... I only know... I probably don't need to dig Apep's bathtub anymore."

"Boom!"

The mighty river rushes on, and countless seawaters are poured into the deep pit. It is believed that in the near future, a vast blue lake with a diameter of several thousand meters will appear in the desert.

Chapter 730 Cleaning up the portal

2024-06-21

"Crack...crack crack!"

Just as Ember and Navelette were arguing, a strange cracking sound suddenly came from the bottom of the pit.

The sound resembled a chick pecking at an eggshell. The two exchanged a glance and, in unison, moved to the edge of the giant pit. Looking down, they saw something coiled up at the charred bottom of the pit.

"Buzz!"

A bright green light emerged from the darkness, followed by a "bang," and Apep's jet-black dragon scales cracked inch by inch, from which a brand new her was born.

"Ouch...it hurts so much!!!"

Apep roared furiously, tearing off a large patch of drooping, jet-black "dragon scales" from her body with her claws, her face contorting in agony.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the "dragon scales" just happened to come crashing down on Yu Jin.

"boom!"

The nearly 100-meter-long, pitch-black "dragon scales" landed, and Ember's head emerged from the middle. Only then did he realize that the black things on Apep's body were not dragon scales at all. They were clearly scabs of flesh and blood that had been repeatedly burned and regenerated, piled up in an endless cycle!

"Dragon meat barbecue, would you like some?"

"Don't disgust me."

Navelette took a few steps back in disgust.

"Just kidding, I'm not so heartless as to eat my friends." Ember jumped out of the scab and kicked it far away.

"Who said I'm your friend! Now that you're back, let that guy deal with it himself. I'm going back to sleep!!!"

Apep's furious dragon face was pressed against Ember's, and the spittle flying out when he roared almost drowned him.

"boom!"

"Hahaha, that's no fun at all! You two can come at me together!"

Another explosion came from the bottom of the pit, followed by the collapse of an inconspicuous charred mountain peak, from which flew the culprit that caused the previous explosion.

In the face of the enormous pit, everything seemed so small. Even the God of the Righteous Machine, who was tens of meters tall, looked like a mosquito larva in a basin of water.

“It’s so small,” Yu Jin gestured, then complained.

"Bah!!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of lightning was hurled by the God of Justice, heading straight for the three of them.

"call out!"

Countless sharp seed shells materialized out of thin air around Apep, raining down like cannonballs towards the God of the Right Machine.

The small bolt of lightning had long been torn to shreds by this saturation attack.

"See, it has to be you. Besides, this is a great opportunity for the younger generation to show their seniority!"

Ember saw Apep's body suspended in the air. Only her figure was not confined by the deep pit. If she were straightened, she would be even longer than the diameter of the pit.

Putting everything else aside, the seed shells next to Apep looked like tiny seeds to her, but to Ember and Navelette, these things were bigger than the God of the Machine!

Just like the head of the Great Ruins Heavy Machine before, each blow landed silently.

The God of Righteousness before him was a perfect example; under the torrential rain of seeds, he didn't even have a chance to get up.

As soon as he stood up, he was pinned back to the ground by a seed shell that was even larger than him.
