Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Chapter 156 Pantalone and the Abyss Order's Cleansing Operation (4k)

The Dark Outer Sea.

The far north, even more distant than the bitterly cold lands of the far north, a region reached by traversing that dark and frigid world, is colder than the coldest place, and that is the boundary of a world more distant than any other place.

This is the realm beyond the protection of the earthly rulers, and also a blind spot beyond the sight of the heavenly throne. What exists within that dark outer sea is an absolute lawless zone.

Beyond the borders of this Teyvat continent lies a dark calamity from an outer realm. This boundary line protects the life within Teyvat, keeping those ominous dark entities outside this land.

That realm known as the Dark Outer Sea is undoubtedly a chaotic and disordered place. In that pitch-black outer sea, there is not only ominous calamity, but also various evil gods and terrifying monsters.

It can be said that this border region, which borders the Dark Sea, is one of the most dangerous places on the Teyvat continent, and for most humans, it is undoubtedly a forbidden zone for life.

No one would want to personally experience and feel the highly concentrated elemental poison from the dark outer sea, or the dark monsters that could cross the border at any moment.

However, Pantalone is not among them; rather, it is precisely for this reason that he came.

For Pantalone, this was the perfect place to study the power of 'imaginary energy' and 'abyss', and it was also one of the few blind spots not under the watchful eyes of the throne above.

In a sense, there is no more suitable place than this world beyond the dark outer sea to study this power that is not permitted by the righteous law of heaven.

This is a truly lawless zone where nothing is off-limits. For Pantalone's plans, which seem incredibly crazy to outsiders, there is no place more suitable for him to carry them out.

The only price to pay is being attacked by dark monsters from the Dark Sea, which is nothing to Pantalone.

Rather, those dark monsters from the outer seas were merely raw materials in his hands.

Shortly after his plan was completed, he invested a lot of money and research into 'imaginary energy' and 'the abyss'. With his reckless spending, his collaborative project with "Doctor" quickly yielded results.

The idea of ​​using 'imaginary energy' to control the power of the abyss in the improved version of the plan is not impossible, but such a method would require more powerful 'elemental creatures' and 'hypermutation factors'.

Fortunately, thanks to the almost endless breeding of Gu outside the Dark, Pantalone was able to obtain the ideal product in a very short time.

Although it is not yet fully mature, it is only a matter of time.

Although these immature, unfinished products cannot be used in experiments, they may play an unexpected role in some situations, which makes him not in a hurry.

If we must say there are any obstacles or conflicts that arise during the research and planning process...

Then the only one left is the Abyss Order, which is seen by ordinary people as a representative of the Abyss.

The Abyss Order, composed of undead monsters cursed by the curse of the Abyss, who were once the remnants of the people of Kanria, intend to raise the banner of rebellion against the laws of nature by drowning the throne of God in the Abyss.

From this point of view alone, the Abyss Order and the Fools seem to have the same goals and positions, but in fact they are indeed enemies, even if they stand on the same side.

Because the Abyss Order's goals, besides defying the laws of nature, also include the Seven Kingdoms.

Therefore, although the Fools and the Abyss Order seem to share the same stance, their contradictions are, in a sense, irreconcilable.

Because of their research into the power of the Abyss, initiated by Pantalone, the Fools' forces on the border had clashed with the Abyss Order on numerous occasions.

Most of the time, the Fools do not deliberately engage in combat with the Abyss Order, except perhaps at his behest and because they are researching the power of the Abyss.

This led to numerous clashes between the Abyss Order and the Fools, with reports even detailing several real-life conflicts between the two sides.

However, Pantalone did not experience any unexpected emotional fluctuations regarding all of this.

In a sense, the conflict between the Fools' Guild and the Abyss Order was somewhat expected for him; he had anticipated this long before he decided to study the power of the Abyss.

In a sense, his special research into the power of the Abyss was precisely to attract the attention of the Abyss Order, while Pantarone's target was actually the Abyss Order.

To be more precise, his target was actually that 'Prince' of the Abyss Order.

Although he didn't know whether the 'prince' in the abyss was a prince or a princess, that didn't stop him from using this method to lure the other party out. As long as he could get the 'prince' in the abyss to show up, he would have already achieved half of his goal.

However, even Pantalone didn't know exactly what level of progress would be needed to bring forth the 'Prince' of the Abyss Order.

But he knew that as long as he kept putting pressure on the Abyss Order, they would eventually show up.

If that 'Your Highness' had not appeared, then he would not have suffered any loss, and he could have even tested the situation of the Abyss Order to some extent.

No matter how things develop, everything is under his control, and either outcome is a win-win for him.

Pantalone was not in a hurry about the Abyss Order itself. He had plenty of time to prepare for other things, and even the 'Prince' of the Abyss was not worth his eagerness.

In Pantalone's eyes, there was only one thing that could make him anxious; there was nothing else that he was in a hurry for.

He knew that waiting quietly for the right opportunity was far more valuable than acting rashly.

His attitude towards that 'prince' in the abyss was very simple, it could be summed up in one word—

and so on.

He was waiting for the right opportunity.

He was waiting for that 'prince' from the abyss to lose his composure and emerge first.

He was fully confident in this; apart from that 'Your Highness,' the vast majority of the Abyss Apostles he sent out would be unable to defeat him.

Not long after he recalled Yura, he also specially recalled Tartaglia, who was far away in Liyue. Facing two special agents with superhuman combat power, no one except that 'Prince' could be a match for the people he sent out.

If that 'prince' doesn't intend to let him interfere with his plans, then he believes that the 'prince' will make his move sooner or later.

Above the icy sea, a towering, colossal creation called the 'imaginary energy storage station' is situated at the boundary, where it connects to the dark outer sea.

That was a product of Pantalone's 'imaginary energy storage project,' a special energy-concentrating building specifically for storing energy within the inner courtyard.
