Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Is it really that hard to level up to Lv.7?

Just now, the first words I uttered upon our reunion after so many years were the same old sarcasm: "To be stuck at a mere Lv.6 Grace level for seven years... you're something else, huh~ This 'joke' is quite amusing."

"You said back then: 'Sooner or later you will surpass me.' So you meant to cast a spell on my grave after I die of old age... Oh, no, your 'Great Elf Staff' is more suitable as a shovel. It's a shovel worth hundreds of millions. Compared to that spell that's so long that it makes me yawn after I finish reciting it, it might be more efficient to just use it directly."

"..."

The familiar feeling is back.

Only at times like these does Rivera truly feel that she is getting further and further away from the title of 'mama-san'.

But that's exactly what happened—I was criticized by the other party...

Rivera instinctively turned her head to look at the wounded person beside her, but she only felt relieved.

She still couldn't refute the other party's ideas.

Because we are powerful, we are fearless.

Because it is 'not strong enough', it flees in panic when faced with a 'stronger' being.

Rivera knew the Empress's personality.

To be fair, although she strongly disliked the other party's "merit-first" philosophy, she was influenced by him in developing certain "little habits" and "bad tastes" in her daily life.

Although she was very reluctant to admit it.

at the moment……

"Regardless, I still want to thank you for saving me..."

"Bang!"

It was a thank you that came entirely out of her own good manners. Although she felt somewhat helpless, Rivera was even mentally prepared to be ridiculed afterward.

However, neither she nor the Empress expected that, just as she was halfway through her sentence, a loud, muffled sound suddenly came from the distant horizon.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look...

That was the huge commotion caused by the collision of two streams of light, one gold and one purple.

Because of the great distance, even the Empress could not see the true faces of the two figures.

Moreover, the speed of those two streaks of light was simply too fast.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat~"

In the short time it took, they had collided countless times in mid-air, almost under the cover of night, their remaining trajectories creating a pattern with an unusual beauty.

Unfortunately, due to the great distance, the speed at which the sound travels is out of sync with the actual scene.

The 'delay' is incredibly annoying.

At this moment, under the Empress's gaze...

The purple light gave her a strong sense of dread.

This feeling was something that even the 'King of Land Behemoth' and the 'King of the Sea Leviathan' had never experienced.

Only that 'one-eyed black dragon'...

"!"

The elven royalty, draped in a hooded cloak, instinctively covered their mouths.

I feel like vomiting.

After a while, she suppressed her conditioned reflex (psychological trauma) and looked up at the sky again...

A burning gaze.

"Isn't that what we have?"

He belittled himself as a 'loser,' a pathetic strongman, yet spoke with excitement, 'The 'hero' we've always been waiting for.'

Chapter 185 Scorpion's Shot, Three-in-One

Before his transmigration, Ling Shu had encountered myths and legends about 'Orion' on his home planet Earth.

Legend has it that this young and handsome giant, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, was born able to walk on water... He had extraordinary strength and loved to spend his days hunting in the jungle.

Orion thus met Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and fell in love with her because of their shared interests.

then……

The mythology was thrown into chaos.

Some say that Orion tried to force himself on Artemis, but was killed by the scorpion she released.

Some say that Apollo, the sun god, forbade his sister from falling in love with Orion, so he tricked her and shot Orion, who was swimming in the sea, with his own hands.

In addition, there are other versions, such as Gaia releasing Scorpion, Hera releasing Scorpion, and so on.

But one thing is certain.

Orion did indeed 'die' in mythology, and subsequently became the constellation 'Orion'.

Moreover, most of his deaths were related to Scorpios.

Therefore, whenever Scorpio appears, Orion dims, as if in fear of its natural enemy.

Thinking about all this...

"If the 'death' of my family's prayer pastor can be considered a 'mythical reenactment'..."

The words, seemingly emphasized, were spoken slowly and deliberately: "Then, your annihilation and death by me is also 'the predetermined fate (myth)'."

"Death to the Lord!!!"

"Boom!"

Under the night sky, under the moonlight.

A tall girl dressed in a smart fighting outfit, with her long hair tied in a single ponytail, is hovering in the sky, clashing several times with a scorpion-man monster whose true form is unknown.

Mona has just completed her mission. Having frequently used her 'group teleportation' ability to buy time, she is still guarding the Moon Goddess, becoming a witness to this battle alongside her.

By now, Ling Shu had already understood...

The scorpion-man monster before him was not Andaris.

It's also his fault for discovering it too late.

As is widely known, the 'monsters' that appear in the world today will turn to ashes after they die.

However, the more powerful the monster, the slower it turns to ash after death.

Even monsters like 'Leviathan, the Overlord of the Sea' left behind complete skeletons, which were then used by Poseidon's Familia to create the 'Sea Dragon Seal' we know today.

...Enough of the digressions.

In short, after the Traveler twins, together with a group of Genshin Impact clones, successfully killed Andaris's main body, everyone, including Ling Shu who was directing everything behind the scenes, just thought that Andaris's corpse turned to ash relatively slowly.

Unexpectedly, its main body... and even its two Scorpion clones, had left behind a backup plan.

They transformed themselves using 'divine power'.

Subsequently, a core 'egg' was left inside the body.

And born from this 'egg' is an even more powerful and terrifying new monster.

This newborn monster can no longer be called Antares in essence.

Perhaps, it should be called...

"Scorpio".

Inside Orario, below the 'Guild' headquarters, above the underground 'altar'.

The ancient god Uranus continues to 'watch' the battle in the skies.

At the same time, he said in a gentle tone, "Antares (Antares) possesses three abilities: 'devouring energy, infinite evolution, and self-replication'."

"It can thus slowly break the ancient seal by absorbing the life force of the trees in the 'Great Sea of ​​Trees'."

“It took over a thousand years for Andaris to not only escape, but also to devour Artemis, who had gone there to investigate.”

"After obtaining 'divine power,' it modified itself, not only accelerating the process of 'infinite evolution' but also combining it with the ability of 'self-reproduction' in an attempt to fundamentally transform itself."

"This led to the current Scobian (Scorpio)."

After hearing these explanations...

"In this day and age, is there a hero who can defeat 'Scorpio'?"

The slender figure in black robes… the being Uranus called 'Fels', asked in a deep voice, "Compared to the 'One-Eyed Black Dragon,' which is stronger?"

Faced with this question...

"do not know."

Uranus answered directly, "This is the 'unknown' of the lower realm."

"But...that's true, if I had to say..."

"The only being capable of killing a 'true Scorpio' is perhaps..."

The old man's gaze was profound. "There are only 'Martial Immortal' and 'Archer' left."

******

Above the sea of ​​trees...

"Bang~"

As the golden light and the purple shadow collided and clashed once more, and the two exchanged blows again, the tall girl, whose voices overlapped, raised her right hand and grasped a giant gun that appeared as a deep blue phantom.

This is a projection structure that inherits the power of 'Orion's Arrow'. It is one of the basic moves that Ling Shu can use after activating the 'unity' effect of the 'Undying Blade' skill.

Its name is: Star Abyss Illusion Spear.

The 'Star Abyss Illusion Spear' has unlimited reserves and can be formed with a wave of the hand. Each spear can reproduce the power of the 'carrier medium' used during the transformation.

Now that Ling Shu has transformed into a unified being using the 'Arrow of Orion' as a vessel, each 'Star Abyss Illusion Spear' is a genuine divinely crafted weapon.

In other words, each 'Star Abyss Illusion Spear' thrown contains the immense power to severely injure Andaris's original form.
