Chapter 68: Day 2 of Leisurely Traveling in Inazuma
"I recognize your honor as the winner, so I allow you to... walk out of the castle tower standing."
After the lady died, General Raiden said these words to Sora.
The might of the Thunder God filled the entire castle tower. As Kong walked out step by step, he seemed to hear a crackling sound of electricity in his ears.
This was General Raiden watching him... was it?
There's some noise outside... What's going on?
It was difficult for Kong to think, the pressure here made him feel a little breathless.
Shui Qingli found a good position where he could see the gate of the castle tower without being discovered by others. Even if General Lei Dian noticed him, he would not be able to deal with him.
Goro and Wan Ye have already brought the resistance army up, and the famous scene of Emperor Ye Tian being deified is about to be staged.
Seeing Kong standing in front of them unharmed, the companions breathed a sigh of relief. At least they arrived in time. They were even prepared to see their friend's body on the way.
The accident came unexpectedly. There was a flash of lightning behind her, and General Lei Dian swung his sword out of nothingness, fulfilling the promise she had made.
Next time we meet, I will cut you again.
"Danger!"
Paimon's heart almost jumped out. He had his back to General Lei Dian and had just finished fighting with the lady. He had no power to resist the knife!
When Fengyuan Manye saw the knife flashing with lightning, his mind went blank.
But at this moment, a strong desire made the second dim Eye of God that he had been wearing on his waist shine with the glimmer of human will again.
He seemed to hear the voice of his friend.
He said: [There are always creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder.]
The next moment, a figure rushed out like lightning and blocked the knife that fell from the sky!
Instead of feeling the pain he had imagined, Kong opened his eyes in surprise, only to find a thin but determined figure holding a knife standing in front of him.
Manye? He... blocked General Raiden's sword for me?
The power of another element flowed in his body, and Fengyuan Manye felt the push of that energy. A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand with force, and actually pushed General Lei Dian's sword back.
The latter was surprised for a moment, as this was the first time someone had blocked her sword head-on, but she immediately reacted and swung her sword, sending Wan Ye flying.
A thunder-attributed divine eye that had briefly emitted light fell and turned dim again.
Wan Ye gasped and looked at the Eye of God not far away.
Did he just awaken this Eye of God?
The soldiers of the resistance army looked at Kaedehara Manye who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, and clenched their weapons with determined eyes.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go together!"
Wulang also gripped his bow and arrow tightly.
They all knew what would happen if they rushed towards the gods, but no one backed down.
"Even though he knew that rushing towards the gods would result in death, he still did not look back and summoned a miracle with his own wishes."
There was a blue light in Shui Qingli's eyes, his expression was cold and distant, without any extraneous emotions on his face, not even a trace.
"Humans, I see your will."
The radiance of human will is extremely dazzling.
"This is not my world, but this world... is relatively clean, without all that messy pollution and garbage. In that case, I will give all the power... to you."
He closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, it was a different person.
"Did the pressure from the Thunder God briefly awaken Prince Water's true memory..."
He pressed his temple with a headache. Fortunately, this was just a memory, and Prince Water was not very interested in occupying his current body to travel around Teyvat, otherwise she would really be dead.
"Should we change our name? It turns out that I was deeply affected by it."
Otherwise, why would he subconsciously call himself Shui Qingli to everyone he met?
"Forget it, forget it. It's too late to change my name now. I already know everyone I should know. Let's just leave it like this."
After being stunned for a few seconds, Kong had already rushed towards the God of Thunder with his sword raised. The Eye of God embedded on the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue emitted a faint glow in response to the unknown call.
This is the effect of the amulet that Yae Shinko gave to the traveler. She wants to use [Wish] as a weapon to defeat her stubborn friend and bring her back to this world.
Of course, the air charge was fast, leaving a group of soldiers who were determined to die outside, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Goro frowned and looked around.
"They, disappeared?"
"what happened?"
"Why did they suddenly disappear when the captain of the second squad rushed over?"
The soldiers also started talking about it. They had been prepared to sacrifice themselves with a heroic heart, but now they were left here hanging... Well, this feeling of being neither up nor down was a bit uncomfortable.
“They have entered the realm of the gods.”
Shui Qingli walked down from the air step by step. With every step he took, the elemental force would build steps for him under his feet. After Prince Water's memory completely disappeared, he finally completely and fully controlled this body's control over water.
"who are you?!"
Wu Lang immediately raised his bow vigilantly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not your enemy. Um... Strictly speaking, I'm just a light novel writer?"
He felt more relaxed than ever before. He could hear the breathing elements between heaven and earth resonating with him. As long as he wanted, he could create huge waves in an instant.
"Don't worry, Kong will be fine. He will return safely with the information about the abolition of the Eye Hunting Order. So, do you want to... find a place to rest first?"
The sword that General Lei Dian just chopped down might not be considered a complete release of the milky fragrance... Oh no, it can't be considered a complete Wuxiang sword, but it is definitely not an ordinary sword.
At least she was definitely going for the idea of killing Kong Yang with one blow. Being able to block this blow, Ye Tiandi deserves the title.
He extended his hand to Manye who was still unable to stand up.
"Although you don't look very well right now, but... you are smiling."
That’s right, there was an excited smile on Kaedehara Manye’s face, a smile of joy that he himself was not even aware of.
Fengyuan Manye raised her head and looked at the strange face she had never seen before.
The wind in his ears told him that this person was not an enemy, but... he could not be his enemy either.
He took the outstretched hand, used the force to barely stand up, picked up the Eye of God that had lost its luster again, and held it tightly in his palm.
"Yes, I am...very happy."
Really, really, very happy.
How great would it be if you could see this scene?
My... dear friend...
------------
Strictly speaking, what the Fatui are doing can be considered as environmental pollution, but after all, it is not happening all over the world, so Prince Water did not notice so many details.
I didn't do it on purpose. I just felt my nose getting sore while writing. This is a natural expression of emotion, don't you understand? (Whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself)
