Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

“…Damn it…”

With its neck tightly gripped, the "Abyss Apostle" could not utter clear words and could only struggle in pain.

At this moment, even the portal leading to the abyss could not be maintained and vanished like black mist in the next instant. Pantalone simply watched all of this calmly and gave instructions to D'Artagnan, who was charging up his power.

"Let's do it."

Although D'Artagnan didn't like others interfering in his battles, he could still distinguish between what was important and what was not when it came to a mission.

So he simply clicked his tongue and then threw out his fully charged lightning spear, announcing it in a cold voice.

"Shattered!"

The massive lightning spear, upon being thrown, began to spin wildly under the force of gravity, transforming into a rolling wheel that hurtled towards the figure of the "Abyss Apostle".

Although this attack was originally intended to launch a wide-range attack, there was no need to continue under the current circumstances. Therefore, in this attack, Tartaglia turned almost all the power he had previously poured into it into this fatal blow.

With Pantalone's deliberate control and D'Artagnan's decisive strike, theoretically, this attack had almost no chance of failing, unless other unforeseen circumstances occurred.

Just when everyone thought everything was foolproof and the outcome of what was happening was beyond question, Pantalone immediately realized something as another invisible but powerful aura approached.

He could only think of one person who possessed such a powerful aura and could approach this place silently.

However, just as he realized this, that aura suddenly approached and unleashed a sword strike that caught even D'Artagnan off guard, forcibly ending this deadly finality.

Chapter 159 Your Highness, don't you miss your brother either...? (4k)

The sudden slash shattered the lightning spear that D'Artagnan had thrown, and even the restraints on the "Apostle of the Abyss" held by Pantarone were easily severed by that single strike.

Pantalone never expected that he, as the strongest user of 'imaginary energy' on the continent of Teyvat, would actually fail.

Although he hadn't used much power in this casual act of control, it was still easily severed, which surprised him somewhat.

Rather than being surprised that the other party was able to sever his control, he was surprised because the power the other party used was not simply brute force, but something he did not know.

However, if this were applied to someone who is an outsider to this world, it would seem to make perfect sense.

For most Teyvat inhabitants, 'imaginary energy' may be an incomprehensible force, but for that person who is an outsider to the world, it may not be an unsolvable energy without any means of dealing with it.

If that's the case, then it's perfectly normal for the control I casually issued to be cracked.

Unlike Pantalone's surprise, Dadalia was astonished that his attack, which he had poured almost all his strength into, was so easily shattered.

To his surprise, his almost all-out attack was blocked so easily.

Considering that his current strength is no less than that of the most powerful beings, and he is qualified to fight even gods, how could he not be astonished that someone could defeat him with a single blow that contained almost all of his elemental power?

However, compared to D'Artagnan's astonishment, Pantalone appeared much calmer.

Because he knew that for that person, doing such a thing was nothing special.

As the dark lightning, the aura of the abyss, and the power dissipated, a golden figure appeared before him, confirming Pantalone's suspicions.

Holding a golden crescent-shaped cross one-handed sword, a pure white girl with short golden hair came into view as the black mist dissipated.

As the blonde girl slowly opened her amber-gold eyes and calmly observed everything, the incredibly weak "Abyss Apostle" behind her humbly lowered its head.

"Your Highness, Princess..."

"Who is that person...?"

Looking at the pure white-clad girl before him, D'Artagnan also expressed his astonishment.

In his original mind, the person who could block his attack should have been a much taller or some other monster.

Unexpectedly, the person who blocked his attack was a seemingly delicate young girl.

Compared to the surprised look in D'Artagnan's eyes, Pantalone appeared completely calm.

It was as if what was happening before his eyes was exactly as he had predicted, and indeed it was.

Or rather, he knew from the beginning that the other party would definitely appear. If the "Abyss Apostle," who represents a deeper level of abyssal monsters, were to die at the hands of the Fatui, then the Abyss Order itself would become a complete joke.

The Abyss, representing chaos and destruction as the opposite of Teyvat, symbolizes the unpredictable and maddening chaos. Its purpose is to overthrow the Abyss Order, which is ruled by the gods and erodes the foundation of this world.

From the very beginning, Pantalone was absolutely certain that as long as his actions toward the Abyss Order were radical enough, he could succeed.

Then the other party would inevitably appear, and as he predicted, it came true.

Looking at the pure white figure of the innocent girl, Pantalone couldn't help but smile slightly, and then slowly revealed the girl's identity.

"The leader of the 'Abyss Order' and the one who actually rules the 'Abyss'... and Her Highness the 'Princess' of the 'Abyss Order'."

Of course, this is only part of the other party's identity.

For Pantalone, the girl before him had another identity.

That is the younger sister of the twins, a blood relative of the traveler who came from one of two meteorites from outer space—

荧。

He was also one of the witnesses to the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Kanria five hundred years ago.

After experiencing that tragedy, she chose to dedicate herself to the cause of 'rebellion against the laws of nature' and became the de facto leader and commander of the Abyss Order, as well as the 'Your Highness' as spoken of by the Abyss Order.

However, this identity held no special significance for anyone else except him.
