Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

The most theoretically perfect plan, which is also impossible for anyone to detect, is a plan that is completely blank and has no plan at all.

Because any interpretation of a plan that is completely blank can be correct, and at the same time any interpretation of a blank plan can be wrong, the only person who can judge the true nature of a blank plan is Pantalone himself, who is the executor of this blank plan.

Pantalone, of course, could not explain or clarify this to anyone.

Columbia didn't suspect anything. Rather, she was used to Pantalone's way of doing things. Most of the time, she didn't need to understand Pantalone's plans; she only needed to know that Pantalone had a prepared plan.

"So, what's your next move?"

"I need to develop a new plan, of course... this is preparation for the final and only plan."

Pantalone took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then answered slowly.

After hearing Pantalone's answer, Columbia gave Pantalone a meaningful look.

"So this is also part of the plan?"

"I don't deny it."

Pantalone simply smiled noncommittally at Colombia's habitual way of answering and her apparent inability to anticipate his response.

Although he had decided to write a perfect plan that could solve everything, the plan itself was still a blank slate, untouched; it was merely a plan in his mind.

In the past, he might have used "this is part of the plan" as an excuse to avoid explaining the progress of his plan to anyone. But now that he has actually started to formulate that plan...

He could no longer continue like this; before he could devise his ideal plan, he had to give others a reason for his actions.

On the other hand, Pantalone also intends to do something, which is also a plan for the final stage.

As for what the new plan is, he already has ideas and plans in mind.

Among the accusations made against him by "Skirmisher" was a plan to create the Scourge Legion. However, "Skirmisher" accused that the plan was merely a disguise within his own scheme. This caused the plan, which he had initially overlooked and feared might spiral out of control, to be ignored by others.

This made him realize that this abandoned plan, which he had previously overlooked, might actually have some unexpected benefits.

The abyss itself represents the power of the void, and if this power is used properly...

After realizing this, Pantalone had many ideas in mind that he could work with, but if he wanted to make good use of this power, he first needed someone with a certain degree of 'imaginary energy' adaptability.

Even among those Pantalone knew, there was no one quite suitable to be the right person to carry out this plan.

Although he possesses the adaptability of 'imaginary energy', he does not intend to handle the plan himself. Therefore, deciding who to entrust with its execution is something he needs to carefully consider.

Just as Pantalone was pondering this matter, Columbia, who was looking at Pantalone lost in thought and humming a lullaby, suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I haven't told you yet. Your adopted daughter, who looks a lot like Arecino, just came back not long ago. I didn't wake you up because I saw you were sleeping. Do you want to go see her now?"

"Has Yura returned?"

Pantalone was slightly taken aback upon hearing Colombia's answer.

However, upon hearing that his nominal daughter had returned, Pantalone suddenly realized something.

If he remembered correctly, as a 'fusion warrior' who had undergone the 'fusion warrior modification surgery,' Yura seemed to possess the adaptability to 'imaginary energy'?

Having thought of this, Pantalone instantly realized who should carry out the new plan he had just devised in his mind.

However, Pantalone still planned to wait until he met his adopted daughter before discussing the specifics of how to proceed.

The Scourge Legion Plan.

This is a concept that utilizes 'imaginary energy' to master the power of the abyss, thereby gaining control over the abyss's undead curse, and creating tireless and deathless undead by borrowing the influence of the undead curse.

This was the original concept of the Scourge Legion plan, which was later rejected.

Pantalone realized that the plan he had initially feared would spiral out of control had now become the only breakthrough point in his plan, if he could control the plan itself in a manageable way.

Pantalone himself had no particular thoughts about the power from the Void, which represented and symbolized the darkness and filth of the Teyvat continent.

For him, anything that can be used to his advantage is acceptable.

Then there is nothing that cannot be utilized. Even if this power might bring about a destructive frenzy, everything is acceptable in the face of the most cruel and real world.

If it is a necessary thing, then there is no reason why it cannot be done.

Compared to the true terror, the filth and threat from the abyss itself are merely insignificant influences.

Everything that can be used is usable; this is one of Pantalone's ways of thinking.

In this respect, Pantalone and "The Doctor" are extremely similar: as long as something can be used, they don't care about the consequences and will do anything to achieve their goals.

Of course, this is why Pantalone has put so much attention into the project itself.

This plan is certainly not intended as a substandard alternative to the 'Void Will Project'. If humanity were to symbiotically adapt to the Abyss, it would certainly not be a superior outcome for Pantarone compared to the results of the 'Void Will Project'.

Therefore, Pantalone has always regarded it merely as one of the available means, as a stepping stone to lay the groundwork for the real plan.

All the attention and effort invested in this plan is merely to better formulate one's own plan. If one can grasp the power of the abyss itself and the influence of the undead curse, then perhaps one can create a surprise force to a certain extent.

Not only can it greatly enhance the strength of the Fools, but it can also give them a sharp sword to use against the gods.

Knowing many secrets unknown to ordinary people, he understood that the human race on this continent of Teyvat possessed an importance even greater than that of the gods.

On this basis, the fact that beings are purely human is undoubtedly extremely important; once a being is infected by the power of the abyss, it is no longer a purely human being.
