I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Just then, Dvalin suddenly let out a long roar, and a powerful gust of air shot out from its body, throwing all the surrounding orca team members aside and slamming them into the surrounding walls. Taking advantage of this opening, Dvalin flapped its wings and tried to escape the nest through the collapsed part of the tower's roof.

However, the next second, a powerful gust of wind pressed down from the ceiling, pushing Dvarin, who was trying to escape, back to the ground.

Wendy's eyes gleamed green, and countless wind elemental energies converged towards his body, lifting him up. At this moment, Wendy's hands were clenched into fists, and under his control, the wind pressure at the top of the tower rapidly increased, firmly pressing down on Dvalin's massive body.

Seeing Dvalin barely able to move under the wind pressure and only able to roar, Wendy gritted her teeth and said, "Dvalin, just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."

With Wendy's help, the Orca Team members' operations became much easier.

Facing the almost immobile Tvalin, the team members fired without missing a shot. Finally, just as they were about to run out of all the tranquilizer darts they carried, Tvalin collapsed to the ground, his breathing gradually slowing down.

"That should be fine."

As Xiang Feng finished speaking, the wind elemental energy gradually dissipated, and Venti slowly returned to the ground, panting with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead. Suppressing Dvalin had taken a lot of his strength. Although Dvalin's body had been completely immobilized, it had been trying to break through Venti's wind pressure using its own wind elemental energy. As the guardian dragon of the east wind in Mondstadt, Dvalin's power was comparable to that of a Daedric Prince. Venti, whose power was no longer at its peak, found it difficult to completely suppress Dvalin's power. Several times, Dvalin had almost succeeded, but fortunately, Venti withstood the attack.

With the anesthetic taking effect, the giant Dvalin became unusually quiet. So far, the first step of the Dvalin capture plan has been successfully completed. The next step is the second step: to throw Dvalin off the tower so that the main force waiting below can catch it.

Xiang Feng quickly organized his team to remove the anesthetic needles from Dvalin's body. Then, they began to install a hydraulic power unit on the tower. Dvalin was tied to a steel cable and connected to the hydraulic power unit. Once the wall was blown up, the power unit could be activated to drag Dvalin to the side of the blown-up wall with the steel cable. Then, with Wendy's help, Dvalin would be pushed down.

At this moment, the power unit had been installed. With a command from Xiang Feng, the explosives detonated, and after several explosions, a huge gap was instantly blasted in the south wall of the top floor of the tower.

The sound of the explosion instantly reached the ears of the ground troops from high above without hindrance. Ivan looked up at the firelight on the tower that was dissipating in the fierce wind; it was the signal that the Orca Squad had successfully anesthetized Tvalin.

"Did it succeed...?"

Ivan wiped the dust off his goggles and turned to Jyn and Kaia, saying, "Everything's taken care of up there. Let's get ready to pick up Dvalin."

After saying that, Ivan suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Has anyone seen Diluc?

Qin and Kaiya looked at each other in bewilderment. Kaiya said, "We haven't seen them since the main force arrived at the designated location."

Ivan narrowed his eyes.

"Never mind that for now, Dvalin will be down soon..."

High atop the tower, the Orca team activated the power unit. As dozens of hydraulic pumps began to operate, Dvalin's massive body was slowly dragged toward the gap in the wall by steel cables.

It took more than twenty minutes before Tvalin was dragged to the edge of the gap, after which the team members quickly removed the steel cable from Tvalin.

Xiang Feng turned to Wendy and said, "Mr. Wendy, I'll leave the rest to you."

Wendy nodded, then stretched out his palm and began to gather wind elemental power into his palm. However, at that moment, an ice arrow suddenly shot out from the side and instantly pierced through Wendy's chest. The speed was so fast that almost no one could react.

Wendy felt a sudden pain and knelt down on the ground.

"Mr. Wendy!"

Xiang Feng was startled and was about to step forward to check the situation when suddenly three more ice arrows shot out. Xiang Feng's pupils shrank, and he flipped over to dodge them.

"who?"

However, before Xiang Feng could even get up, a sudden gust of wind elemental energy enveloped Xiang Feng and the other twenty members of the Orca Squad, along with Tvalin. Then, a strong gust of wind swept through, and everyone was thrown out through the gap.

The moment Xiang Feng flew out of the tower, he could clearly see that the elemental energy in Wendy's hand, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, was slowly dissipating.

Xiang Feng was shocked. What on earth was going on?

After throwing everyone, including Dvalin, off the tower, Wendy looked even weaker. Feeling the pain in her chest, Wendy slowly turned around.

"No need to hide anymore, I'm all alone now, come out..."

As Wendy finished speaking, a tall figure emerged from the corner of the connecting staircase.

The Executor of the Fools – [Lady]

The woman sneered, "Barbatos, was it worth it for you to risk your life to send those people out? One god's life for the lives of a bunch of mortals?"

Wendy coughed and chuckled, "All life is the same..."

"Innocent."

The woman's expression was icy: "There's been no movement from Mondstadt Cathedral, so the heart of God must be with you."

As the woman spoke, she slowly approached Wendy.

Wendy was sweating profusely. Suppressing Dvalin and escorting Xiang Feng and the others out of the tower had already exhausted him. Coupled with the wound that pierced his chest, Wendy didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"Your target... is indeed my Heart of God... The Ice Goddess is still stubbornly clinging to her own ideas..."

"Hmph, it's none of your business to comment on Her Majesty the Empress."

After saying that, the woman who walked up to Wendy suddenly stretched out her right hand and stabbed at Wendy's chest. Then, her right hand suddenly flashed with white light, and the next second, enveloped in white light, it pierced into Wendy's chest. This caused Wendy to feel a sharp pain and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

However, the smile on Wendy's face froze the moment the woman's hand reached inside her body.

The next second, the woman removed her hand from Wendy's body, looking at Wendy with icy eyes and said, "Where is the Heart of God? Why isn't the Heart of God with you? Where is the Heart of God? On the Sky Harp?"

Wendy was pale, sweat beading on her forehead, and looked at the woman with a mocking expression.

"You'll never know where my heart of God is..."

A fierce killing intent flashed in the woman's eyes. She raised her right hand, and ice element quickly condensed into an ice arrow, which she aimed at Wendy's forehead.

"Without the Heart of God, you are of no value. In that case, you may die."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ice arrow in the woman's hand was about to pierce Wendy's forehead. However, at this critical moment, the woman suddenly felt the temperature behind her rising sharply. In shock, ice formed beneath her feet, and she was instantly moved back more than ten meters by the support of the ice.

Only then did the woman realize that it was a phoenix of fire that had sped past where she had just been standing and struck the wall. The extremely high temperature melted the bricks, creating a huge hole.

Bang!

A crimson greatsword was planted in the ground, and a red-haired man with a cold expression appeared in front of the woman.

"I, Diluc, hereby pronounce judgment on you!"

Chapter 49 Three Forces

"Diluc..."

The woman swayed her shawl and looked at Diluc, who was carrying a greatsword, with a cold smile: "Why aren't you holed up in Dawn Winery? What are you doing here?"

Diluc said expressionlessly, "I'm here to see you Fatui to your end, of course."

“I discovered your presence from the moment I arrived at the ruins of Old Mondstadt, but I deliberately kept quiet until now. You finally couldn’t hold back any longer… You Fools are utterly wicked; it’s time for an end to this.”

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Diluc, filled with hatred, the woman narrowed her eyes, and ice elemental energy began to surge within her: "Such arrogance. Do you really think you can defeat me?"

Diluc raised his crimson greatsword and said coldly, "As for the answer, you should ask this Wolf's End in my hand."

As soon as the words left her lips, the woman and Diluc instantly sprang into action, colliding at incredible speed. The frigid ice element and the blazing fire element collided instantly, filling the top of the tower with steam...

The clock rewinds to five minutes ago.

As a gust of wind swept across the top of the tower, the figure of the Wind Demon Dragon Dvalin appeared in everyone's sight.

Ivan immediately shouted, "They're here!"

The God Eyes on Jean and Kaeya, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly shone brightly, and the power of the Demon God was activated!

Qin held the longsword upright in front of her chest, closed her eyes and felt the surge of elemental power. Then, the longsword pointed into the sky, and the wind element in the two-hundred-meter radius around Qin instantly stopped its irregular activity. The next second, it began to rise violently upwards, forming a giant wind field!

The momentum of Dvarin's massive body slowed considerably in an instant, and with the support of the wind, it slowly descended towards the ground.

However, at that moment, Ivan suddenly saw several figures above Tvalin also fall into the wind field.

That's... the Orca Squad?

In that instant of confirmation, Ivan shouted, "Jin! Watch out, someone's there!"

While controlling the wind field, Jyn noticed Xiang Feng and the others falling into the wind field after being reminded by Ivan. So she waved her hands, and the wind field instantly split in two. One side lifted Dvalin and slowly descended, while the other side steadily caught Xiang Feng and the others.

Just as Tvalin was still twenty or thirty meters above the ground, Kaeya unleashed the ice element energy he had been condensing for a long time. The ice element landed and instantly froze the water molecules in the air, forming a giant slide at about forty-five degrees directly below Tvalin, Xiang Feng, and the others.

Tvarin, Xiang Feng, and the others landed steadily on the ice slide and slid smoothly down to the ground.

The soldiers quickly secured the anesthetized Dvalin with steel ropes, preparing to drag him away from the ruins of Old Mondstadt.

Meanwhile, after completing their mission, Jean and Kaya, along with Ivan, met the Orca Squad members who had landed with Dvalin.

Ivan asked, "What happened? Why did you all jump down together? Where's Wendy?"

Xiang Feng hurriedly and quickly recounted what had happened on the top floor.

Jean exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? Someone attacked Mr. Wendy?"

Xiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, but we didn't have time to see who it was before Mr. Wendy threw us down along with the Stormterror."

"hateful!"

A large amount of wind elemental energy instantly gathered on Jean's body again, and she prepared to create a wind field to fly directly to the top of the tower to rescue Wendy.

However, at that moment, a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a giant tree fell from the sky and struck straight at everyone!

Kaiya was the first to sense the danger and shouted, "Watch out!"

Kaiya's shout drew everyone's attention to the impending disaster. In the nick of time, Ivan instantly pressed the wind element storage switch on his right-hand elemental compression glove. Instantly, a powerful burst of wind elemental energy erupted from the palm of Ivan's elemental compression glove, sending everyone flying and saving them from the fatal blow.

But before people could react to what was happening, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Then, many small cracks appeared in the space around the main force, as if the air had been shattered by something. The cracks then expanded rapidly and soon formed deep purple diamond-shaped portals.

Looking at these portals, Ivan frowned: "The Abyss Cult..."

Sure enough, before Ivan could finish speaking, the abyss mage that everyone had seen in the underground ruins before walked out of the portal.

"Hehehe, everyone, we meet again."

The Abyss Mage waved his staff, and in the blink of an eye, massive Ruin Guards emerged from the portal. These terrifying machines numbered an astonishing three hundred, now completely surrounding the main force.

However, that wasn't the end of it. After the ruins guards, dozens more tall humanoid creatures appeared in the portal, their entire bodies shrouded in strange armor. Some wielded double-armed swords, and water elemental energy could be faintly sensed surging around them. Others floated in mid-air, their bodies wreathed in purple lightning.

Ivan naturally recognized these terrifying creatures.

The Abyss's ace assassin—the Abyss Apostle!

The power of the Abyss Apostles can be described as terrifying among the creatures of the abyss. From the moment they are born, they are elite warriors and top assassins. They are the killing machines of the abyss forces against the Seven Kingdoms. The appearance of each Abyss Apostle is accompanied by bloodshed on the continent of Teyvat. Their power has far exceeded that of ordinary Eye of God holders.

These dozens of Abyss Apostles are divided into two attributes: water and lightning. Those who wield dual swords are water, while those floating in mid-air are lightning.

The water-attribute Abyss Apostles excel at surprise attacks, while the lightning-attribute Abyss Apostles excel at wide-area attacks. The purple lightning that struck the group earlier was likely an attack launched by the lightning-attribute Abyss Apostle.

Faced with the sudden appearance of more than three hundred Ruins Guardians and dozens of Abyss Apostles, everyone gasped in shock.

Qin exclaimed in shock, "How could the Abyss Order be here?"

The Abyss Mage chuckled twice and said, "Heh heh, with Mondstadt's entire force mobilized, our Abyss Order certainly won't let such an opportunity slip by. We've been preparing for this moment for a long time, heh heh..."
