I'm in the Teyvat running group

This is one of the most important functions of the War Fortress after its construction—long-range strikes!

Teleportation arrays are engraved on the firing muzzles of the magic circle and the Returning Machine. You can choose whether to activate them. Once activated, you will be teleported to the pre-set coordinates the instant the cannonball or spell is fired.

When the eight warships arrived in this sea area, they had already set up a large number of coordinate points and spatial sensing arrays here and transmitted them back to the rear.

Therefore, when the war fortress began its all-out attack, massive amounts of damage directly crossed spatial distances and struck the monsters!

“An attack of this scale can slow down the monsters for a long time, but it’s unlikely to wipe them all out,” Yunxiu said to the others as she flew. “But smaller monsters will definitely have a hard time getting through this net of fire.”

"So, in the end, only large monsters pass through this death zone?" Funina actually became curious about the magic circle. "If that's the case, it should be very suitable for the Sumeru Death Zone."

"The energy operating cost of a long-range strike array is extremely high... If it weren't for the almost limitless energy of the Shadow Furnace Core, it would be virtually impossible to achieve." Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided not to pour too much cold water on the idea.

"However, if it is stored normally through charging, it should still be possible to activate it briefly during wartime."

Transmission within space itself has no concept of distance; one hundred meters is essentially no different from ten thousand kilometers, as long as a spatial channel can be opened, they are practically the same.

However, the costs of maintaining and connecting are different.

Moreover, the greater the distance, the more energy and magic arrays are needed to maintain the passage itself, especially since Teyvat itself is spatially unstable, and the issue of spatial stability also needs to be considered.

Yunxiu's solution to this problem was actually quite outrageous, but it worked very well.

That is, at the instant the cannonball and the spell are condensed, a "time stop" that lasts only a fraction of a second is directly applied, and then the spell or cannonball is instantly transferred away. In this way, even if the space is unstable, the magic circle and the Returning Machine can be preserved.

However, this also brings enormous costs. The long-range attack magic circle alone combines weakening prayer to stabilize space, teleportation to open channels, time stop to solve security, and teleportation to transfer cannonballs. It can definitely be said to be one of the magic circles with the greatest development capabilities at present.

This is second only to the series of purification arrays developed this time to purify the abyss.

Moreover, the current test limit is only that it can hit a distance of less than 7,000 kilometers from Narukami Island to Tsurukan with a single shot.

Although it's described as "beyond distance," it's still within the concept of "distance"...

True long-range combat can be carried out across space; in that case, all attacks within this world are essentially melee combat.

Of course, even so, the benefits are obvious...

The war fortress-like gameplay of He Guan is far from the limit of long-range strikes. Theoretically, it is even possible to use the technology of creating demi-planes to carry the Return Machine from the storage bag and launch long-range strikes directly from the demi-plane!

Someone who is not proficient in divination or spatial magic would have no chance of finding the storage bag and would simply be blasted to death by the Returning Machine.

Therefore, the future significance of long-range strikes is obvious, even though the cost is currently very high.

Just over twenty minutes later, Yunxiu and his group successfully retreated to the war fortress and witnessed the first super war weapon in Teyvat that was firing at full power!

"This is... the protective array of the Mikage Furnace Core?" Tsukihime pointed to the protective membrane surrounding the war fortress and asked, "Won't this really affect the operation of the war fortress?"

"The energy itself circulates perfectly within the magic array, with almost no consumption," Yunxiu said with a smile. "If you have extremely strong elemental control abilities, then this protective shield can also provide you with additional benefits."

Once one breaks through the "Energy Stage" of the fifth level of Ascension to Godhood and gains near-perfect control over energy, one can cast spells using the energy overflowing from the Shadow Furnace Core on the protective shield.

You can gain almost unlimited spellcasting power—provided you can withstand the strain.

Yunxiu watched as the war fortress continuously charged, launched, and occasionally emitted a beam of concentrated light that bombarded far away, which was still somewhat acceptable.

However, from the perspective of Funina and the others, this super war fortress was simply unbelievably powerful!

Even among powerful members at the level of a familiar, few can unleash spells so frequently and almost endlessly, nor can they guarantee such a powerful firepower!

Hundreds of level nine magic arrays either bombarded continuously or occasionally converged to condense one or two legendary spells to be unleashed directly. Most of the level seven and eight magic arrays were not offensive magic arrays, but they allowed the level nine magic arrays to output almost endlessly!

Various magic arrays, including circulation arrays, charging arrays, maintenance arrays, spatial arrays, time arrays, calibration arrays, and detection arrays, constantly flashed with different kinds of magical light. You could even see many technological creations of Fontaine moving back and forth within the arrays.

Replacing parts, adjusting magic arrays, all sorts of small robots and mechanisms wander around aimlessly.

Besides these mechanisms, there were six mechs, led by an orange-red one, shuttling back and forth to handle problems that the small robots and mechanisms couldn't solve, and replacing the magic array plates in emergencies.

“Such a fortress is at least equivalent to two or three legions or ten powerful subordinates.” Minamoto no Nagi, who had been mostly silent, spoke up, her voice heavy with concern. “If there were one near the Death Domain of Sumeru…”

"Supporting the operation of such a war fortress requires countless amounts of energy and technological talent," Yunxiu replied after glancing at the cold, white-haired girl.

"Without a core of demon god level, it's almost impossible to operate, and the maintenance and adjustment of the magic array requires a large number of people with expertise in magic systems..."

"Could the Crimson King's Mausoleum serve as the core?" Funina asked. "The Crimson King's enormous mausoleum possesses a vast energy source. If we can unravel the mysteries of the Crimson King's Mausoleum, it should be possible."

The Red King's Mausoleum... is also a good choice.

According to Yunxiu's own recollection, in his understanding, there should only be three or four things in Teyvat that could provide such enormous energy: the Crimson King's Tomb is one, the Shadow Furnace is another, and if there were any more, they would probably be fragments of the moon.

The weapons that Nordkale created using lunar distance force, and even the lunar distance force experimental bureau built on the fragments, were actually achieved with the help of lunar distance force, that is, lunar fragments.

As for other methods of energy supply...

Of course, it can't be said to be purely a dream, but it's pretty much true in reality.

The elemental energy required to cast a spell using a nine-ring magic circle is not much different from that of the nine-ring spell itself.

A ninth-ring spell requires 1281 energy points, and while the spell array is in operation, it also requires a large number of seventh-ring and eighth-ring spell arrays to assist it. In fact, each ninth-ring level spell requires more than 2000 energy points.

A single volley of 100 shots generates 200,000 points of elemental energy.

While elemental energy is a rapidly increasing stat, even the +25 modifier that Venti once displayed only amounted to 227 million. Of course, Venti's actual strength is definitely far greater than that.

However, according to Yunxiu's own estimate, the elemental energy required to make the war fortress operate at full capacity would be around 20 million, which is a correction value of around +30. This is almost certainly something that only a god could do.

Yunxiu's current modifier of +17, even with the additional 170% bonus from the [Spark] constellation, only amounts to 216724 points, barely enough for a single volley.

The core of this Shadow Furnace, also known as the energy core of Orobas, is itself a product with a +29 modifier value and also possesses the effect of [Mana Source], with a 400% recovery speed, which is why the War Fortress can operate at full capacity.

Because it's best not to disturb the war fortress once it's operating at full capacity, Yunxiu and the others didn't call Yunzhi. They simply sent a message and rested where they were.

Short-term suppressive attacks are only temporary. The monsters can easily wear down the enemy's firepower with free low- to mid-level monsters. Moreover, although much of Bushgalo's ability has been sealed, it doesn't mean he can't replicate some low-level monsters...

As for how to defeat this being...

The only way is to stall, to stall until the Thunder Sisters are free to do something.

After Tsukihime inquired, Shin and Kage sent a message saying that the battle in Abyss Palace was extremely fierce. Although no true demon god-level being had appeared yet, dozens of legendary demons had already appeared.

Among them, there are seven legendary peaks, each of which is comparable to the level of Fox Palace, Ba Che, and Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun. They can fight against ordinary demon gods with all their might, and can even threaten weaker demon gods!

The only good news is that the Raiden Sisters are indeed no ordinary demons.

Even with the Dragonborn harassing them, Lei Movie still managed to kill all the monsters, and even managed to get Sasa Yura to come to Heguan once, bringing a large amount of top-tier legendary materials.

"After this war ends, I should be able to have someone forge a true 'divine artifact' for me..." Yunxiu thought to herself, "Only then can I obtain the greatest benefits when I travel to another world..."

But at least for now, the war is far from over. A massive horde of monsters has appeared on the sea, just as Yunxiu had predicted.

Although many legendary monsters suffered injuries, most of them retained their full fighting strength.

Chapter 171 The Divine Might of the True Monarch! (Second update on Sunday!)

The first person to react when the monster appeared on the sea surface was neither Yunxiu nor Yuyu Yangkui, who had come to provide support.

It is Yun Zhi in the war fortress! In terms of the ability to control large-scale warfare, he is absolutely number one among everyone around Yun Xiu!

He activated the energy shield of the war fortress, directly overclocking all the magic arrays to full power. Every two or three seconds, a round of nine-ring spells was fired simultaneously, and every ten seconds, the aura of legendary spells enveloped the monster horde!

The war fortress, operating at full power, is undoubtedly the true king of war. Its terrifying output even managed to hold off the surging monsters like a black tide for a moment.

The massive number of monsters could only be reduced to a mass of blood and flesh in the face of the massive amount of spells and cannonballs, and they were unable to advance at all.

Even gods would temporarily yield to the full force of a war fortress!

The mechs and robots shuttling between the magic circles are being maintained and replaced more frequently, and the energy of the Shadow Furnace is clearly at full power.

Seeing this situation from behind all the monsters, Bushgalo actually lowered his head, his four eyes bursting out with dazzling red light, emitting a ripple that spread for hundreds of kilometers!

"You have been affected by magical mind corruption. You must undergo an intelligence assessment with a DC28 value!"

"Judgment passed, you have received 12523 points of Abyss damage!"

Even the legendary figures who were still speeding through the air preparing to launch an attack encountered this terrifying attack!

However, all of them were strong individuals, and this relatively weak attack did not have much of an impact on them. Instead, they continued to draw their weapons, sending powerful energy straight towards the monster.

Yunzhi stopped overclocking the moment Bushgalo lowered his head, opened the protective shield, and continued to maintain the frequency of attacks by using long-range strikes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yunxiu led the fleet back to the fortress's protective shield area and found Yunzhi.

Because of prior arrangements, Huzhaigong, Yuyu Yangkui, and Leidian Wuming were all in or near Heguan, and they had all arrived here after the first wave of attacks ended.

Next up was their performance.

Yukoku Yangui, a Oni girl and a legendary bard, possesses a rather unique Liyue-style vertical flute, whose jade-colored surface ripples with each note as she plays it.

A large number of buffs were applied to all friendly units. Yunxiu could clearly see that even Funina's Carnival had more than doubled its coverage area!

Raiden Mumei is a swordsman who is completely different from the traditional image of Inazuma.

The sword he used was neither an Inazuma samurai sword nor a Liyue-style longsword, but a huge long-handled Guan Dao!

The enormous Guan Dao, wielded by his god-like strength, churned like a windmill, creating clouds of blood mist among the monsters.

As he charged toward the legendary monster, the enormous Guan Dao (a type of halberd) grew dozens of times larger with his swing, cleaving the monster in two from its head!

Just as this legendary monster was trying its best to heal its wounds, a bolt of pink lightning struck down and hit its head. The lightning entered its body and precisely shattered its energy core.

The real Sesshomaru!

The Soul-Chasing and Life-Taking Techniques of the Fox Palace!

Minamoto no Nagi's sword and Raiden Mumei's Guan Dao are the most unstoppable forces on the battlefield, while Tsukihime's Evil Eye and Kitsune's Sesshomaru are the strongest deadly techniques on the battlefield.

Especially with the blessing of "Tsukuyomi of the Soul-Suppressing World", Tsukihime's arrows are no less powerful than Sesshomaru of the Fox Maiden Palace. The only drawback is that she cannot maintain hundreds of flowers like Sesshomaru.

At first, only three of Sesshomaru's flowers were summoned on the battlefield by Kosai-gumi, but the number multiplied exponentially, from three to six, from six to eighteen, until the area around her was densely covered with Sesshomaru's flowers.

He single-handedly created an offensive rhythm at the level of a legion, and each of his deadly attacks came at the cost of the annihilation of dozens of Killing Cherry blossoms.

However, after the annihilation, a large number of Sesshomaru were born in the next moment!

The wide-range buffs and effects of Yu Yu Yang Kui and Fu Ning Na are also ridiculously strong.

The six legendary warriors were unstoppable on the battlefield, destroying nearly half of the monster horde in an instant!

Roar--!

Bushgalo's four eyes shone brightly, and four beams of blood-red light shot straight towards the group. The most ferocious beam, in particular, was aimed directly at Yu Yu Yang Kui. Without his presence, the combat power of everyone on the battlefield would be reduced!

"Yang Kui!" Fox Palace rushed directly towards the girl, but seemed unable to keep up with her speed at all.

"Heaven has eight cycles, earth has five miles..." A clear chant rang out from the sky, and the distance between Yu Yu Yang Kui and the blood light seemed to be stretched infinitely!

The remaining streaks of blood-red light changed direction at that moment, but were also transferred to other places, or even directly pierced through space and crashed into the group of demons!
