Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

This area, bordering the continent of Teyvat and the Dark Sea, is where the most potent elemental poison is concentrated.

Pantalone's purpose in setting up these 'imaginary energy storage sites' at these nodes was to utilize the elemental forces in the boundary between the Dark Sea and the Teyvat continent, converting them into usable energy supplies. He also had his men set up many such sites.

In a sense, nothing has a more concentrated elemental force than the elemental tides that originate from beyond the Dark Sea and seep into the borders of Teyvat.

Deploying 'imaginary energy storage sites' at these nodes is arguably the most efficient approach.

However, deploying 'imaginary energy storage sites' on the border between the Dark Sea and Teyvat also carries enormous risks, but because there was no need for it in the past, no one has ever deployed them in this area.

However, for Pantalone, the toxic effects of the elemental forces were almost negligible.

In addition, due to the research on the Abyss and the 'Imaginary Energy' project, 'Imaginary Energy Storage Stations' were specifically set up in this area, with the aim of efficiently dealing with the Dark Monsters.

These 'imaginary energy storage sites' will assimilate and absorb all elemental forces due to the assimilative nature of 'imaginary energy' itself, converting and storing them as 'imaginary energy'.

Of course, this also includes weakening the influence of the outer sea's own elemental power and other overflowing forces, as well as absorbing the pollution caused by the remnants and resentment of demon gods.

It is precisely because of the 'imaginary energy storage station' that it is so convenient to clean up the remnants and resentment of the demon god, and that the remnants and super-mutant factors can be extracted without any scruples.

After completing another round of cleaning, he returned to a quiet state, gazing at the boundless dark sea beyond the icy expanse, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips.

As time went by, under Pantalone's deliberate instruction...

Friction between the Fools and the Abyss Order continues to escalate.

Initially, the operation involved purging members of the Abyss Order. Then, it began destroying their strongholds, followed by indirect conflicts, and finally, direct, head-on clashes.

The intelligence reports from Pantalone's officers were being updated almost continuously.

Because Pantarone possessed the power of the 'Abyss,' and the average strength of the Abyss Order was not as good as that of the fully armed, well-trained, and well-coordinated Fools' soldiers.

This enabled the Fools' soldiers to always find members of the Abyss Cult and suppress and control them during operations against the Abyss Cult.

This situation led to the Abyss Order being almost completely suppressed and forced to retreat when facing the Fools. This was not due to an unimaginable difference in strength, but rather due to the reason of compatibility.

In fact, the strength difference between the Fatui soldiers and the Abyss Order was not unimaginably large. Rather, the Fatui soldiers were actually weaker than the Abyss Order members.

However, Pantalone provided them with equipment specifically designed to suppress the power of the Abyss, which resulted in the Abyss Order's power being completely suppressed when facing the Fatui.

Pantalone prefers to develop a plan while also having a backup plan in mind to deal with it.

After all, no one can guarantee that their plans won't be used against them by others.

Now that Pantalone had decided to utilize the power of the Abyss, he was prepared to use it to restrain the power should it go berserk.

Since the Abyss Order has run into his line of fire, he has no reason not to take advantage of their experiment to suppress and control the power of the Abyss.

Even he knew just how dangerous the power of the abyss was; the deadly poison from the abyss's venomous blood was a difficult problem for the seven gods of the mortal world to solve.

Even the retinue of the gods would find it unbearable after contracting such a deadly poison.

Not to mention what would happen if such power were accidentally tainted by humans.

As the opposite of the world, representing the power of the void, theoretically, no power in this world can suppress the power of the abyss, unless that power does not belong to this world.

Thanks to the fact that 'imaginary energy' has a higher priority than all other energies, and through the research of "Doctor," they actually developed a suppressor that can suppress and limit the power of the abyss.

Relying on the omnipotent 'imaginary energy', the Fools successfully suppressed the Abyss Order and gained an absolute advantage in the struggle, crushing part of the Abyss Order's territory in one fell swoop.

This also led some people to see the Fools as symbols of heroism.

After that, the Abyss Order seemed to disappear without a trace. After being defeated by the Fools, the Abyss Order did not retaliate as Pantalone had predicted, as if it had really given up.

After receiving the latest report from his intelligence officer, Pantalone looked at the intelligence report with a thoughtful expression.

He didn't believe that the 'Prince' of the Abyss would compromise like this; the other party undoubtedly had some plans.

Pantalone muttered to himself as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.

"Give up? I don't think so."

Chapter 157 The First Direct Conflict with the Abyss Order (6k)

Since the Abyss Order's activities began to disappear, Pantalone did not intend to restrain himself regarding the Abyss Order's decision not to directly confront the Fools. Rather, he was even more concerned after seeing the Abyss Order's reaction.

This further emboldened Pantalone to escalate his actions, if the previous actions of the Fools were merely a conscious sweep.

Now, under Pantalone's instructions, the Fools' actions are no longer simply targeting the Abyss Order, but have become a more aggressive and proactive offensive.

Since that 'Prince' has chosen a conservative strategy, then he will see just how conservative that 'Prince' can be. Unless the other party intends to let the Fools ruin the Abyss Order's plans, then he will absolutely not sit idly by and do nothing about what is happening now.

Even the most resilient and solid bottom line will eventually break and erupt after being suppressed to the extreme and attacked repeatedly. Not to mention that "Your Highness" is not a merciful person.

Therefore, Pantalone did not stop after gaining an overwhelming advantage in the actions of the Fools.

Under Pantalone's will, the Fools began to deliberately erase all traces of the Abyss Order, and seeing the attitude of the Abyss Order members, they realized that elimination was the only option.

Since simply cleaning up the Abyss Order isn't enough to get that 'His Highness' to take it seriously, then let's take more radical measures.

Thus, under Pantalone's orders, the Fools' army adopted more radical measures to purge the Abyss Order. Having mastered the means to suppress the power of the 'Abyss,' the Fools' army became virtually invincible.

All obstacles in this harsh land in the northern part of Teyvat have been removed, and the influence of the Abyss Order has been largely eradicated from this land, except for the more stubborn and powerful strongholds.

However, all of this was within Pantalone's expectations. He did not believe that the Fatui were strong enough to completely defeat the Abyss Order, even with the enhancement of their 'imaginary energy' weapons and equipment.

If the Abyss Order could be so easily eliminated, then it wouldn't be the universally acknowledged enemy of all humanity on the continent of Teyvat.
