We traveled through time together, but I'm the only dragon? The others are all beautiful girls?

If it were the original Akalion, he would probably have already unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Array, powerful enough to recreate the world, and reforged the earth, water, wind, and fire within this small world.

Even so, this world can no longer fully bear Akalion's world-shaking power.

The primordial dew, symbolizing the origin of life, was released only seven times, and the foundation of this world, constructed by Ying's will, was already overburdened and on the verge of collapse.

Although the physical form remains, the spirit has already collapsed.

They must wait for a longer period of refinement and integration before they can begin the next union.

"No, you mustn't...stop."

The emperor who controls this land, the supreme will of the universe, issued his final command in a broken voice that was almost a whisper.

Even if the nectar of creation were to flow forth once more, she would still prove to Akalion that Eleanor was not the only one capable of truly wielding this sword of judgment, which was powerful enough to surpass even the gods.

But, unfortunately.

Her will lasted for less than a fraction of a second before completely dissolving into an invisible, warm puddle of water.

Akalion achieved final victory in this ceremony.

It was already noon on the second day after they returned from Liyue.

Paimon held his empty little wallet, turned it upside down, and pitifully showed it to Akalion, who had just been sitting in the living room inside the Dust Song Pot, enjoying tea.

"【Savior Dragon】, Paimon is out of money for food."

"Huh?" Akalion looked at Paimon, a hint of confusion on his face. "Luminous, didn't they give you any money?"

"..." Paimon silently accused Akalion with her big, watery eyes.

The couple in front of her had been sleeping in their room ever since they came back, and they wouldn't let her in to disturb them.

The food allowance Ying gave her last week had already been spent the day before yesterday.

If it weren't for the fact that she secretly kept some money for herself, Paimon would probably be crawling on the ground from hunger by now.

"Cough..." Akalion understood everything from her eyes. He took out a stack of about 100,000 Mora from his [Cave Heaven]. He only discovered after coming to this world that [Mora], this alchemical currency, actually had a face value.

From the smallest 1 to the largest 10000.

Although they are all the same size, their value as an alchemical medium increases as the Mora's own value increases.

Here, use it sparingly.

"Thank you, [Savior Dragon]! Mmm!" Paimon happily took the stack of Mora and put it into her wallet. Looking at the wallet, which had gone from skinny to chubby, she joyfully leaned in and kissed Akalion on the cheek. With this huge sum of money, she could at least eat and drink without any worries for a whole year.

"But why hasn't Ying woken up yet?"

“She…she’s a little too tired.” Akalion knew he had gone a bit too far last night, which made a slight embarrassment appear on his face.

"How can I feel tired after sleeping?" Paimon wondered, and decided to push open the door to see what was wrong with Ying. "Could she be sick?"

“No way!” Akalion swiftly extended his agile dragon tail, completely blocking the doorway. “Paimon, since you’ve come for money, it can’t be because you’re hungry, can it?”

"What are you talking about! Of course, Luminous's health is more important than my hunger." Paimon tried to push Akalion's tail away, but it was clear that she couldn't budge it an inch with her little strength.

"I really didn't ask—"

Just as Akalion was about to continue his explanation, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside by Ying.

At this moment, she is essentially maintaining the most primitive and sacred celestial posture.

As a result, Paimon saw clearly all the ambiguous blue and purple marks on her body.

"Ugh! Akalion! How could you bully Luminous like this!"

Paimon was instantly enraged.

Like an angry little kitten, she was about to rush over and grab Akalion's hair, but Ying, who had reacted quickly, grabbed her.

"This isn't bullying!" Ying felt her ears burning. Ahhhhh! Why is Paimon in the Dust Song Pot?!

"But! He bit several red marks on your chest, neck, and shoulders! Even your lower abdomen looks swollen from being beaten! And there's white stuff—"

Paimon's brows furrowed tightly, her worried eyes fixed on Ying. Before she could finish speaking, Ying, completely overwhelmed, covered her mouth with her hand.

"Don't say it again!"

Ying felt her face burning up. She glared at Akalion, who was trying hard to suppress his laughter. Why did you let Paimon in?!

"Paimon! Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"

"Absolutely, absolutely not!"

If others found out about this, Ying felt she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

In private, among fellow "me", we can act however we want.

But if outsiders found out about this kind of play... Ying felt she'd rather be dead!

"Well......"

Paimon's gaze swept back and forth between Akalion and Luminosity.

She could definitely sense that Akalion and Luminosity's relationship was better than ever before.

But those wounds... wait, she seemed to see bite marks on Akalion's neck too. Why was that?

Although he didn't understand, Paimon nodded obediently, promising to look up the information later when he had time.

"I understand. But you two must get along well."

“See, even Paimon said so.” Akalion’s smile faded, replaced by a serious expression. “So, next time, we should still be mindful of our abilities.”

Ying slowly walked to Akalion's side and hugged him tightly.

"I do not want it!"

She paused, then seemed to remember something, and looked up, a hint of curiosity and unease flickering in her golden eyes.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even asked you, who really won between you and that Fairy Xiao?"

“I carried her back.” Akalion didn’t answer Lumin’s question directly, but instead said it in a triumphant tone.

"Great! —Gurgle!"

It wasn't her fault after all! Ying clenched her fist, about to cheer, but suddenly pulled on her tired muscles that were already overwhelmed by Akalion's excessive impact.

A sharp, intense pain caused her to collapse onto Akalion.

"fluorescent!"

Paimon flew over anxiously.

"Are you OK?"

Akalion gazed at the pale-faced girl in his arms.

"Help me... take a bath, and then take me to the Statue of the Seven." Ying lay in Akalion's arms, her voice weak and feeble.

Why does it still hurt so much!

She had clearly mobilized her elemental power to maintain her body!

Could it be that it's ineffective against Akalion...?!

“No problem.” Having regained control of himself, Akalion quickly carried Ying to the magnificent bathroom prepared especially for her.

The warm steam quickly filled the entire space, covering the cold jade walls with a hazy mist.

————Bathroom Divider————

When Ying gently placed her hand on the base of the Seven Gods statue.

The power of the earth veins surged from the statue instantly, completely enveloping her body.

In an instant, all the fatigue and pain vanished.

"Phew! I'm alive again!" Ying stretched, feeling like she was back to her best. She looked at Paimon, who was still full of worry, and couldn't help but pinch her chubby little cheeks.

"I already said, this wasn't a fight!"

"I'm just concerned about you!"

Paimon crossed his arms, his voice tinged with grievance.

"Thank you for your concern, Paimon." Ying stepped forward and hugged her little companion tightly. "But you absolutely, absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this!"

"Don't worry, Ying! I absolutely won't reveal a single word!" Paimon assured him confidently.

However, for some reason, a faint unease lingered in Ying's heart.

She glanced at Akalion, who had transformed into his original form and was now quietly perched atop the tower.

With him around, what is there to be uneasy about?

Perhaps it was just an illusion caused by the fiery essence of the dragon?

Akalion and Luminous now reside in what was once the tower of Deckalapian.

After the pollution from the demon god's remnants dissipated, the first thing he restored was this building.

Such a magnificent building would be far too costly to rebuild in the future.

The Lawrence family took full responsibility for completely renovating the interior of the tower according to Ying's preferences.

This is Luminous and Akalion's second home in the Teyvat world, besides the Dust Jar.

At the same time, this tower is also the central point of the earth veins of the entire Mingguan Mountain Range.

As long as Akalion guards this place, the ley lines here will gain a little more order.

The power of the void realm cannot penetrate this area without his permission.

Even elemental creatures will become more peaceful as a result, so as not to interfere with the construction of the city.

The old nobles, led by the Lawrence family, were incredibly enthusiastic about the construction of Brightcrown City. They even hoped the entire city would be completed by tomorrow, more so than Akalion and Luminosity.

They saw this place as the only chance for their entire family to turn their lives around.

Although they can no longer obtain the absolute power they had a thousand years ago, at least they no longer have to be the dumping ground for the entire Mondstadt.

Just as Akalion was enjoying his leisurely daily life in Teyvat.

New problems have arisen in Artoria's world.

Two-thirds of Britain's crops perished in just a few days. Food was already scarce, and without external intervention, a great famine was inevitable.

The activities of monsters and signs of natural disasters have become more frequent, leading to the expulsion of some villages.

Meanwhile, on the European continent across the sea, a powerful emperor emerged who unified the Apennines, the Balkans, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Syria, and even Jerusalem. This emperor was now preparing his army for war, intending to conquer Egypt and Persia.

That should be the Roman emperor Lucius, who appears in the script of the old sword, but for Artoria, this is not the most serious problem at the moment.

Most deadly was the food shortage, and the fact that the Britons were constantly under attack, which even the White Dragon could not stop.

Within the golden realm of the dark space.

"Can't you eat monsters?" Akalion suddenly asked a very practical question.

"...The number of magical beasts is far too small compared to the entire population of Britain." Artoria couldn't help but swallow. "But magical beasts are indeed very delicious, and even if they don't taste good, there are magic spells that can make their meat delicious."

"What about maintaining and restoring the agricultural facilities left over from the Roman Empire?" Saintelia asked, voicing her concern, based on the information she had provided.

“It will take several years, and Britain’s food reserves are almost depleted.” Artoria shook her head, her ahoge (cowlick) that had been fluttering just moments before now drooping. “British craftsmen are too few, and the Queen’s plan to capture fairies has run into serious problems—the fairies seem to have foreseen the Queen’s actions and have all gone into hiding.”

"My energy bar production line will take several more months to be fully completed, and it won't be able to supply many at first," Saint Jalia said quietly, her face showing a hint of weariness that was hard to hide.

"So, for now, we can only ask Ying and Akalion to gather more supplies for us."

As she spoke, she took out a golden cube with sides approximately one meter long from her pure white storage space.

"However, the key issue is the decline of the divine age that is happening in the world of Artoria."

"Then I'll go there for a while."

Akalion gently scratched the horns on its head with its paw.

"Perfect timing to help Morgan capture Fairy N—an employee."

"If we can get things done quickly, I think taking a few to Teyvat or Eldra would be a good option."

Speaking of sorcerers in D&D, fairies can also be sorcerers who provide power, I wonder if that's possible.

Anyway, as long as you are powerful enough, it is perfectly acceptable to use the sect leader as an energy source.

P.S.: I'm a bit tired, so I'll just update once today to get full attendance...
