Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

Before Astraea could finish her words, the sky suddenly darkened, and then... the plot entered the animated short film.

In the animation, Astraea's eyes widened in fear and horror, and she turned around instantly.

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A majestic demon emerged from the sea, causing the earth to shake, the sky to collapse, and the sea to collapse.

“Could that be… a… demon… a demon god…?! Oh no…!!”

At first, Astraea didn't react to what happened, and then at second, her face changed drastically, and she wanted to run towards Liyue instantly.

——However, at this moment, a rock spear was inserted in front of her.

Astraea stopped and looked up at the man standing with his back to the rock spear. Her eyes trembled, and her voice trembled as well. "Mr. Zhongli... What exactly do you want to do? Liyue is in danger now. We must go and stop that demon immediately."

Zhongli put his hands behind his back, turned slightly back to look at Astraea, and said calmly, "If Osel truly endangers Liyue, I will intervene and suppress him. Therefore, there is no need for you to take action in this matter, Guardian Knight of Fukaros."

"...I don't know what your purpose is, but there will surely be many sacrifices. In the name of Fukaros, the god of justice, I will not sit idly by while this disaster unfolds."

Astraea's expression gradually became firm, and her delicate face once again showed the same resolute expression as in the battle with Tevarin, a knight.

The floating and rotating scales of justice appeared in front of Astraea.

Astraea held it in her left hand, staring at Zhongli with awareness in her eyes, and said softly:

"Mr. Zhongli, please move aside. Otherwise, no matter what your purpose is, I will show no mercy... even if you are the Rock God Morax."

"Knowing my identity, do you still think you are my opponent?"

"I know I can't be your opponent, but that's no reason for me to obey your capricious orders! Liyue... the Liyue you were supposed to protect is now in irresistible danger because of your decision. If you've given up on protecting Liyue, then I will protect this city."

"You underestimate Liyue... I don't seem to have the right to say this to you, because it is precisely because I cannot fully trust the people of Liyue that I made this decision. So, at this moment, let me ask another question."

At this moment, Zhongli—no, Morax's expression became extremely serious.

"I know you have full authority to act on behalf of the Water God, so let me ask you, are you intervening in Liyue's affairs on behalf of Fukarlos at this moment? Are you declaring war on Morax on behalf of Fontaine?"

The heavy pressure increased hundreds and thousands of times, but there was no trace of fear on Astralia's face anymore.

"If you feel this position is inappropriate for protecting Liyue, then... I no longer swear in the name of the God of Justice. In the name of Astraea, I renounce my position as the Water God's Candidate Knight, and my position as the First Knight of the Templar Order, the Water Knight. In the name of Astraea alone, I will not sit idly by and watch the disaster unfold before me."

"I think I've said that before." Zhongli sighed slightly and said with genuine envy, "Fukaros is so lucky!"

As these words fell, Astraea, who already knew Zhongli's decision, no longer hesitated. The urgent situation did not allow her to have any hesitation.

So, Astraea clasped her hands together.

Hundreds of water dragons raised their heads from the ground, surrounded Zhongli, and then attacked from all directions.

"I'll go! I'll go! I'll go!"

Watching this animated short, Da Ma Ge pounded his thigh excitedly, then held his breath and watched it intently.

Although Da Ma Ge had already figured out what big event miHoYo might be planning through Astraea through the PV of the second episode of "Report to Lady Funina", he really didn't expect it to be so big!!

It was totally unexpected that while the entire Liyue and the Demon God were fighting fiercely, such a horrific and explosive battle was happening on the other side.

That’s right, it’s an explosion.

As Astraea spoke, Da Ma Ge was moved and his blood boiled.

It's not just Da Ma Ge, all the viewers watching the live broadcast are like this.

"I declare that Astraea is the true God of Justice. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"Vote for it!"

"Vote for it!"

"Vote for it!"

"Vote for it with your real name!!!"

——Just when the live broadcast room was so heated, the battle between Astraea and Zhongli in the animated short was also extremely intense.

Oh no, it's the incomparable water.

Nothing could be seen except the constantly exploding and shattering splashes of water.

However, it is precisely these constantly exploding and shattering splashes of water, coupled with the BGM in this animated short, that make people feel even more the intensity of this battle and the powerful strength of both sides.

"I was completely wrong before. Zhongli wasn't talking about Themis. He was actually talking about Astraea. There's no doubt about it. Astraea definitely possesses god-level strength!"

I don't know who is stronger between Astraea and the Whirlpool Demon God Osiel, but there is no doubt that if Astraea had participated in the previous war between the entire Liyue and Osiel, it would definitely be much easier, and Ningguang might not even have needed to destroy the Jade Pavilion - but in this case, the previous plot would not have been so explosive, so touching, and so touching.

From this perspective, as a player, we should thank Zhongli for stopping Astraea.

But soon, the players couldn't say thank you anymore.

"I go…!"

Looking at the scene revealed after the splashes in the animated short gradually dissipated, Da Ma Ge opened his mouth to curse, but after thinking about Zhongli's identity, he held it back.

On the screen, Zhongli's body was shrouded in a cracked, crumbling golden light shield, and he was completely unharmed.

Opposite him was Astraea, whose entire body was pierced by a spear.

Zhongli held the spear's shaft tightly with both hands.

Obviously, this is his masterpiece.

Seeing such a scene, Da Ma Ge of course wanted to curse.

But Zhongli is the god of Liyue, and it is really not appropriate to scold him.

Rather, as a Chinese player, seeing Zhongli display such overwhelming strength, I definitely feel a sense of pride.

——The premise is that Zhongli did not really kill Astraea.

If Astraea is really killed, I can guarantee that he will scold you to death no matter whether you are the God of Liyue or not.

And that bastard planner should be cursed to death too.

Fortunately, the plot planning is measured, and Zhongli is obviously also measured.

Rather, the current situation is definitely not what Zhongli wants.

Zhongli's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of guilt at this moment: "I'm sorry, your power was too strong. I subconsciously counterattacked but failed to control the strength of the attack."

"Oh my god, what kind of Versailles statement is this?"

"Is this the Rock King? He's too strong, isn't he?"

"Didn't he say that Leah possessed power comparable to that of a god?"

"That's Versailles, huh? Just because you have the power of a god doesn't prevent me from killing you if I can't control my strength, right?"

Liyue's Geo God is also known as the God of War. If Inazuma's Thunder General is consistently pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, then Liyue's Geo Emperor is the pinnacle of martial arts.

This was a knee-jerk counterattack.

Because at that moment, Zhongli felt danger.

His defense failed to completely block Astraea's attack and was about to be shattered. With that kind of attack force, if it hit his body, even Zhongli would not be able to escape unscathed.

Therefore, in such a dangerous situation, he no longer simply regarded Astralia as a human being, but subconsciously regarded her as an opponent and fought back.

Then, too much force.

In order to have even the slightest chance of winning, Astralia used all her strength and energy on attacking, without any defense at all, and was also unable to dodge.

So, Zhongli's shot went straight through her body.

but……

In response to Zhongli's apology, Astraea's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she raised her right hand, tightly grasped the spear that pierced her, raised her left hand, and pointed the scales of justice at Zhongli.

Zhongli's expression changed slightly, and then the next moment, he instantly turned into rock element and disappeared, with no trace left.

At the scene, only the sound of his slight sigh remained.

"Faced with such justice and awareness, if I continue to stop it, I will become a laughing stock. Water Knight, Astraea, you win this battle."

Astralia paused for a moment, then gave up on letting the Scales of Justice self-destruct. She slowly pulled out the tip of the gun that had pierced her body with her right hand and threw it aside.

Then she took two steps forward.

Then it stopped.

"No, I can't get through... Then... let's do it here... Since the target is so big... it will definitely be... no problem..."

Astraea raised her right hand and pointed the scales of justice at the demon in the sea.

The sea water around the demon suddenly became agitated - it was at this moment that Astraea suddenly saw it.

The huge Jade Pavilion quickly arrived above the Demon God, and then huge forces were injected into the Jade Pavilion. It fell instantly, pressing the Demon God to the bottom of the sea, and then exploded.

"So... you really... don't need me..."

Astralia smiled happily and relievedly with the bleeding corners of her mouth.

"Very good…"

Peng——! !

The girl's body fell forward and there was no movement.

A few seconds later, Zhongli's figure slowly reappeared. Looking at the girl's pitiful and petite body, he sighed again:

"Fukaros, you are so lucky."

Chapter 27 May the Wind God fool you

As the animated short film ended, Axue's eyes turned red.

This kind of girl can only be found in the second dimension.

"Fuck! I can't meow anymore!"

Axue did not continue the plot, but directly opened the wish interface, then opened the permanent pool, and then rushed in one after another 648, until her fingers were sore.

But it doesn't matter.

Start pumping!

I won't stop until I get Leah to full health and full essence today.

What? The Zhongli pool will open in the next patch?!

Damn Zhongli, how shameless is he to bully a weak little girl like this?!

If you have the guts, show me your health bar and I’ll beat you to death.

"66666, Xue has gone completely crazy."

"Don't worry, it's not just Axue who's crazy, many of the anchors next door have gone crazy too."

"If I had money, I would have picked a Leah too."

"How can a game character be more expensive than a house?"

"I spent money in the permanent pool and got Leah with 300 draws."

"Fuck, can someone lend me some money? I want to play with it too."

"No money, no money! Freeloaders have no human rights! This is unfair!"

"What do you mean by no human rights? I'm also a freeloader. I got Leah with 300 draws."

"Oh my god, you haven't used up all your gems in the permanent pool upstairs, have you?"

"Isn't this what I should do for Leah?"

"99999"

The comments in the live broadcast room were crazy, and Axue was even crazier. After all the characters in the permanent pool were fully upgraded, Astralia finally succeeded in fully upgrading her life and refinement.

Then, she let out a long breath and collapsed on the gaming chair as if exhausted.

Although for Axue, a big anchor with tens of millions of fans, spending hundreds of thousands of krypton gold is nothing, this time of krypton gold gave her an unimaginable sense of satisfaction.

Axue calmed down and thought about it. The reason was that miHoYo was really good at shaping characters. The character of Astraea was simply deified after this plot.

This role is perfect.

Thinking about Astraea's story so far, Xue suddenly couldn't help laughing.
