Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

3. “What’s going on?”

"As the core of the water element, my life, my origin, has been riddled with holes when fighting against the abyss. After the battle just now, my life has inevitably dried up."

⒍The Water Element Dragon King gave the answer very simply.

㈣This is the fact. When he was suppressing the abyss, his life was slowly being weakened by the abyss bit by bit.

"This……"

Conan-san never expected it to be like this.

He subconsciously wanted to help, but he didn't know how to do it.

The only thing on him that has a healing effect is his Noble Phantasm, the Adult's Card.

However, if this treasure is to be used, a certain amount of wealth must be stored inside it in advance.

[Adult's Card] had already consumed all the wealth before. At this time of emergency, it was difficult to find enough wealth to heal the life damage of the Water Element Dragon King.

"Dragon King, how long have you suppressed the abyss?"

"According to your human time, it's almost been a year."

"........."

Conan had thought that the Water Elemental Dragon King might have been fighting against the Abyss for some time, but he never thought that he had been suppressing it almost from the beginning.

No wonder the life of the Water Element Dragon King came to an end.

"The Abyss appeared one day in the deep sea where I live. I found something wrong and immediately searched for it. After I found the target, I immediately started to suppress it.

Then, a few months later, the Abyss Mage appeared, and I tried my best to trap him and the Abyss together. We remained in a stalemate until you showed up today."

The Water Elemental Dragon King began to understand what the abyss was after the appearance of the Abyss Mage.

"The Abyss Mage will not communicate with me. He only wants to kill me. However, in the ocean, I can use the seawater as a medium to indirectly read his thoughts.

In this way, I learned about the existence of the abyss. Although it was only the surface, it was enough for me to understand the danger of the abyss. "

At that time, the Dragon King of Water Element actually tried to seek help from the outside world, and more than once.

He has the ability to use nearby water elementals to inform and warn other beings in the water elemental realm about the dangers of the abyss.

At the same time, he also instructed the water elements to seek help from the Dragon Kings of other elemental realms.

"The powerful element that you humans call the Dragon King is what we call the Dragon King. We usually try to avoid leaving the elemental realm we are in.

Once we activate our power, every move we make will bring about tides and vibrations of the elements, which will greatly affect the natural environment and ecological cycle. Even if we do not use any power, even if we just stay still, this influence will still inevitably appear.

Therefore, we will not rashly approach other elemental realms with different attributes, which is not good for others or ourselves.

I haven't really met other elemental dragon kings, but the abyss is too dangerous. I know I can't handle it alone. Even if it may affect the water element realm, I will ask for help from other dragon kings."

Choose the lesser of two evils. Although there is no such elaborate saying for the water element, the principle is still the same.

However, the Water Element Dragon King's request for help was not conveyed.

"At that time, I already suspected that there might be more than one Abyss Mage, or that he had other accomplices. I don't know the details. The Abyss Mage is no longer around, so I can't get the answer from him, but I guess this is correct."

"Dragon King, your message has been passed on. The humans in the water element realm learned about the existence of the abyss from a certain water elemental spirit.

I think the water elemental spirit should have tried to go to other elemental realms... but it seems to have failed."

Without more evidence and information, Conan-san could not make any good guesses.

However, based on what we know now, we can still infer several things that are more likely.

Considering that there were six abyssal water element lords hiding in this water element realm, it is estimated that those water elements who wanted to go to other element realms to seek help might be ambushed and murdered by these water element lords before they successfully leave the water element realm.

Or maybe, the Abyss Mage who turned into the Abyss Dragon Whale really had some collaborators, who had been monitoring the border of the water element realm and continuously preventing the Water Element Dragon King from asking for help.

"Perhaps, humans living in other elemental realms may also have problems..."

More than half a year ago, merchant ships entered the water element area.

At that time, the abyss pollution in the water element realm was not serious, and a corner of the sky did not turn black. The situation seemed remarkable, and foreign merchant ships could still enter and exit relatively safely.

But even so, the pollution of the abyss still exists, and foreign fleets cannot ignore it. The relevant information and news should spread.

In this case, no matter what their mentality is, there should be humans from other elemental realms coming to investigate, and they should come into contact with human towns in the water element realm.

At the very least, there should be a letter conveying greetings.

However, this is not the case.

The human town here has not had any contact with other foreign humans since the last merchant ship arrived, nor has it received any contact letters.

"Has the news about humans also been blocked? In addition, the method of summoning heroic spirits was introduced to the water elemental realm at that time... What kind of connection is there between them?"

Although he solved the problem and luckily eliminated the terrible enemy with the help of the golden finger, Conan still needs to face a lot of unresolved problems.

"Is the matter of Teyvat continent still not over?"

029 requests

"Heroic Spirit, I don't know much about the Abyss."

The water elemental dragon king, who didn't look like he was going to die, seemed to be looking down at Conan Shan.

The appearance of the Water Element Dragon King, which now resembles a river, is indeed not as abstract as before, but there are no eyes in the normal sense.

Conan-san simply felt the other person's gaze and sight, as well as a kind of scrutinizing observation.

"I want to ask you a question, Heroic Spirit. Can the sea be restored?"

"Uh……"

Conan-san was a little confused about the answer.

Of course he knew the current situation in this sea area.

After the infinite light shone, the source of the abyss disappeared and the huge abyss dragon whale was destroyed.

However, what was also obliterated by this brilliance was the vast sea area where they were now located.

"It should be possible to recover, right?"

Conan-san answered rather unconfidently.

If you observe the water element sea from a high altitude now, you can see a huge hole in one corner.

Outside this hole is the normal water element sea.

However, the sea water outside could not break through some invisible and formless barrier, could not enter the hole, and could not fill the space again.

Therefore, if you observe the outside world from within this hole, you will have the illusion that you are blocked and surrounded by a barrier of water.

"After touching the cracks in the abyss, this treasure appeared... What the hell is this thing?"

Although Conan-san is the user, he has no idea what the effect of [The Virtual Tree with Flowing Light Shell] is.

He had no idea whether the light emitted by this treasure destroyed the abyss directly on the spot, or opened a door to the depths of the universe and sent it away.

Conan-san only knew that the gate and the light appeared behind him.

He doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes, nor does he really observe what's going on behind the scenes.

"It feels like I'm not really connected to a bubble, and there are no tentacles emerging from the light of the Noble Phantasm... I hope so..."

After Conan-san obtained the second treasure of the Outsider Card [The Virtual Tree with Flowing Light Shell], he also gained several additional skills at the same time.

Some of them he would rather not have, which feel like they should be considered powerful skills.

First are the two active skills.

*

【Turning into Light in the Abyss A】

[Gives all allies a certain amount of time to restore their magic power]

＊索

【Loss of Sanity B】:

[Give all enemies a state of terror] 2

＊⒐

Then, there is the extremely subtle passive.

【Divinity B】0

【All Abilities Improved】4

[Damage Increase] 3

Conan really doesn't know where this "divinity" comes from.

If possible, he would rather give up this passive skill.

The only good news is that the "madness" of the standard three-piece set of foreigners did not appear together.

If there really was a passive skill called "Madness", Conan-san would really start to suspect that he was being watched by some weird creature.

He is not a witch, he is a grown man and does not want to be stared at by some big eyes.

"If the sea can recover, then there will be no problem."

The Water Element Dragon King mobilized the elemental power in his body.

The water element sea outside the hollow space where the seawater could not enter resonated with him from afar.

"About one-sixth of the water element ocean disappeared along with the abyss."

Conanshan didn't know how big the ocean in the water elemental realm was, but it should be very vast.

His new treasure can only be described as an anti-world treasure, its power and range live up to its name.

In terms of the range of destruction alone, it feels comparable to the first Noble Phantasm of his Outsider Card.

"Huh? Come to think of it, the two Noble Phantasms on the Stranger card seem to be both Noble Phantasms of the opposite world. I remember that the Bubble Noble Phantasm in the game doesn't seem to be one of them... Never mind, let's not think too much about it."

Conan-san believes that sometimes it is more practical to give up thinking.

If you think too hard, your head will break.

"The pollution in the abyss has not completely disappeared."

Hearing what the Water Element Dragon King said, Conanshan raised his head with a little surprise.

"The pollution hasn't completely disappeared? Is there a second source of pollution?"

"I think there should be only one crack in the abyss, and those are just remnants... The so-called abyss seems to be some kind of power outside the world, something that does not belong to this world and is the opposite. It is not so easy to open a passage."

The Water Element Dragon King stopped sensing the water element sea.

"The Abyss, in my opinion, is not the so-called evil thing. The Abyss has no distinction between good and evil. The name Abyss was just given by the Abyss Mage for the sake of convenience."

Abyss. This name is not uncommon in the history of magic.

The magicians in this world can summon demons or devils from the abyss.

However, the abyss of the two is not the same abyss. Abyss is just a simple name, a name that happens to be similar or the same.

Just like the demons that Conan had faced in the previous summer vacation, the demon world where these demons originally lived was just the name they called their own world.

There are also demons or devils living in the demon world here, but obviously, they have nothing to do with the demon world people of the Lord of the Rings' foreign dogs.

"I was with the Abyss Mage, and I only read some of his expressions and thoughts through contact with the sea. I don't know his understanding and research of the Abyss.

However, based on my experience over the past year or so, I think the abyss here is simply a force from another world, a force that is somewhat incompatible with our world."

In the eyes of the Dragon King of Water Element, the pollution of the abyss is not an invasion, but more like an adaptive assimilation.

A force that does not belong to this world makes natural changes in order to make the world adapt to itself.

"It's like two completely opposite properties, two forces that cannot coexist at all. Compared to water and fire, light and darkness, these opposite things are more extreme. In your human terms, it's like matter and antimatter.

Or, if our power enters the abyss, it may become the 'abyss' over there. Just as the abyss will erode and pollute us, our power will become the same harm. "

Conan was a little surprised that the Water Elemental Dragon King understood human scientific terms so well.

However, considering that the Water Element Dragon King can indirectly touch the fragments of human thoughts through the tides of the sea, even if he had not been very interested in humans before, he still had many opportunities to come into contact with human things.

This water elemental realm can be said to be the "source of all waters" of the continent of Teyvat, and is the key point of the original flow and circulation of water.

The power of the water element will form rivers, turn into water and flow to other elemental realms, and then gradually trace back to its source.
