Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

That's why Pantarone made a special trip to seek out Barbatos, the King of the Winds of the Mortal Realm, to obtain the "Heart of God."

Pantalone's words seemed slightly arrogant to others. As a human, how dare he speak to the King of Wind, who ruled the mortal world, in such a way? In a sense, this was the most arrogant thing imaginable.

Only Barbatos knew that beneath that seemingly arrogant reply, everything the other person said was nothing more than a simple, straightforward narrative.

Those were not arrogant words, but simply a statement of facts. Hidden within this seemingly ordinary man was a terror that even Barbatos could sense, a terror that would even threaten him.

If he were to actually clash with the other party, even if he were to regain his former power and don the crown again, he could not be certain that he would be able to become Pantarone's enemy.

Since Pantalone dared to say that, it means that the other party had absolute confidence.

Unlike the other arrogant fools, Barbatos understood the power he possessed.

Pantalone is unlike any other person; he possesses absolute power and control, which gives him the foundation to face himself and engage in dialogue with others on equal footing.

The foolish executor who called himself Pantalone before him did not rely on power borrowed from the Winter Queen, but rather possessed a confidence and composure unlike any other.

This composed demeanor and performance undoubtedly demonstrate the confidence and strength that Pantalone possesses.

Logically, just as Pantarone said, Barbatos, who seemed extremely weak at this moment, was facing Pantarone's demands, as well as the power and threat she displayed.

From any perspective, he should have given the "Heart of God" to Pantalone; it would have been the best choice for both of them.

But when Pantalone asked Barbatos for the "Heart of God," Barbatos gave her this answer.

"While what you say makes sense, do you think that after doing such a thing, I will obediently hand over the 'Heart of God' to you? My answer to your request is: I refuse!"

As Barbatos grinned and spoke, he seemed to have no intention of cooperating.

Barbatos did not have any excessive attachment or thoughts about the "heart of God" itself.

But he didn't want to hand it over to Pantalone so easily, especially not to the man who had brought about this calamity.

This didn't anger Pantalone, or perhaps he never thought so in the first place.

Why would the King of Wind, who rules the mortal world, so easily hand over the "Heart of God" to him? Pantalone simply smiled indifferently.

"As expected, I didn't expect to obtain the 'Heart of God' so easily. But since I can't get it through normal means, then don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands."

"Then why don't you come and get it yourself and try it?"

The wind god who ruled Mondstadt smiled slightly, not paying any attention to what Pantalone had said.

Similarly, Pantarone did not expect that a few words would be enough to make the Wind King, one of the seven oldest living rulers of the mortal realm on Teyvat, obediently hand over his "Heart of God".

If it were possible to obtain the "Heart of God" in a simple way, that would be ideal. But if it is not possible to obtain the "Heart of God" in a simple way...

So, he only has one thing to do.

Looking at the Wind God dressed in divine armor before him, Pantalone's eyes gleamed with the light of 'imaginary numbers', and then he spoke softly.

"Then, I'll have to offend you."

Chapter 184 The Will of Albury and the Knight of the Dragon Usa (5k)

The calamity that swept from Mondstadt brought not only the pitch-black despair, but also the terrifying flames that mingled with the 'imaginary number' as the laws that infused the sky and distorted this world were twisted.

The fiery blasts from the heavens covered the earth, burning everything to ashes, and further intensified the rage of the dark monsters and the twisted monsters born under the influence of the abyss curse.

Countless dark figures traversed the frozen earth and wasteland, their eyes filled with hatred and loathing for the living.

Monsters returning from the world of the dead seek to tear apart the wings of freedom and destroy everything. This terrifying calamity inspires countless knights, filled with courage and faith, to wage a struggle to protect their homeland, trapped in Mondstadt.

But such a calamity was ultimately too terrifying for any power to stop it. Even the Knights, the guardians of the West Wind, did everything in their power to affect this terrifying, dark calamity.

The dark avatars on the borders of Mondstadt, filled with a ferocious killing intent, sought to tear through the layers of protection and cross into Mondstadt's territory.

To prevent all this from happening, the soldiers and knights of the Knights of Favonius are doing everything in their power to stop those monsters from charging into battle at the forefront of the battlefield, and to remove those dark, calamity-incarnated monsters from the end of all the calamities.

Furthermore, several abyss mages were manipulating the abyss monsters mixed among them, making the already incredibly difficult battle even more dangerous.

This was not a sudden change or outcome, but a premeditated plan.

Even the dragon that once protected Mondstadt for a thousand years, under the influence of the dark calamity and the curse of the abyss, transformed into a wind dragon that cleaved the sky and launched an invasion against the god it followed and the city of freedom it had protected for a thousand years.

All these changes were completely unexpected for the Knights of Favonius. Not long ago, Falgar, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and the "Knight of the North Wind," must have sensed the reason for the changes, so he took most of Mondstadt's elite troops on an expedition.

This left Mondstadt's strength in an unprecedented void, rendering it powerless to resist such a calamity.

This caused the original knights to suffer a series of defeats, making them completely unable to fight back.

However, in the grand scheme of the battlefield in Mondstadt, a battle and struggle between sworn brothers is taking place in a localized corner of the war.

The collision of red and blue unleashed a stunning hurricane.

It was a life-or-death duel between those two brothers. The cold elemental power collided with the blazing, flame-like elemental power, unleashing a powerful impact that revealed the extraordinary gap between them.

This was a life-or-death battle. The fiery figure and the blue figure clashed fiercely, weaving an unparalleled battle, if we set aside everything else.

This overwhelming display of strength is truly a magnificent visual feast.

Both of them unleashed their absolute strength without any concealment, fighting each other with the sole determination to kill the other.

In this fierce battle where neither side held back, any attempt to conceal their strength would only make them each other's victims. The soaring phoenix and the proud, aloof peacock clashed in a fierce battle on the borders of Mondstadt.

No one could intervene in the life-or-death duel between the two brothers, whose unparalleled strength turned the area within hundreds of meters around them into scorched earth and frozen soil.
