Chapter 544

Moreover, the witches couldn't clearly perceive the movements of the gods, but she could.

In the Dark Sea, some big guys were already becoming restless.

Alice wanted to imitate Jiang Yan's methods and leave a deep psychological impression on the Dark Sea.

So she wouldn't have to worry about the Dark Sea all day long.

325. Alice: What if Klee becomes an immortal before I do?

"Yo-ho!"

Accompanied by a carefree cheer that nonetheless made the gods of the Dark Sea exceptionally terrified,

a golden fireball hand-crafted by her plunged into the Dark Sea.

As luck would have it, it landed right next to a god who was preparing to investigate the situation in Teyvat.

That god was stunned for a moment upon suddenly seeing such a divine, Buddha-like golden fireball.

By the time Alice's cheer reached its ears, the god's expression changed drastically, and it scrambled to escape, but it was already too late.

The golden fireball exploded instantly, turning into a wave of fire that swept through everything and evaporated it all.

The moment it touched the god, the opponent was instantly vaporized, and along with it, the god's remains left behind after death also vanished without a trace.

Alice paused slightly, looked at the god that had been blown to bits, and stuck out her tongue.

Heaven is my witness, she really wasn't targeting this god; she hadn't even noticed this guy.

If there's anyone to blame, it's this guy for getting so close on its own.

She hadn't even reached halfway to the Dark Sea yet, and this god was waiting here, which meant it definitely had ill intentions.

If it had no designs on Teyvat, why get so close?

Alice felt no guilt and continued to fly by sword toward the area closest to the Sea of Quanta.

Today, she was going to stage a super-massive explosion here, an explosion with enough force to scare all the gods to death.

She would make these guys never dare to have designs on Teyvat again.

That way, she wouldn't have to worry about this place every day.

In reality, the Dark Sea is not a real sea, just as the Sea of Quanta is not a sea.

Alice didn't know how to describe the Dark Sea either.

This place is very mysterious.

Even though her colleagues were all incredibly capable, when it came to the Dark Sea, they were truly all speechless.

They didn't even have a clear understanding of the concepts of the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Tree.

They only knew that if they didn't guard the Dark Sea well, Teyvat would face the crisis of destruction.

This crisis came from outside the world; Alice didn't know exactly what it was either.

At this moment, Alice had reached the area at the boundary between the Dark Sea and the Sea of Quanta.

These two things, which are called seas but don't look like real seas, have boundaries that are easy to distinguish.

It is a transparent, yet extremely sturdy membrane that is very difficult to penetrate.

Alice had once tried to use a nuclear bomb obtained from another world to blow up this membrane.

The gods were all stunned by the blast, but the membrane was completely fine; it didn't even ripple.

The strength of this thing was unimaginably hard.

However, this time, Alice was a bit worried about blowing up this membrane.

She was no longer who she used to be; as a cultivator, she had never really fought with all her might.

She and Venti were evenly matched; while she had strong destructive power, Venti was too agile, almost like a loach that had become a spirit.

He was simply impossible to catch.

As for Zhongli, don't even think about it; although they were both at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit,

Zhongli could defeat her and Venti in ten moves at most.

In other words, Alice had never truly tested her current full combat strength.

She was very worried that if she accidentally blew up this membrane, something might happen to Teyvat.

But this thought only flashed through Alice's mind for a moment.

The next moment, Alice excitedly pulled out a huge empty-shell grenade.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"

Alice looked at the grenade in her hand with conviction.

"To make the gods never dare to have designs on Teyvat once and for all, I can only do something ruthless to them, just like the Sect Master."

"After eating this grenade, I guarantee no god will dare to have designs on Teyvat again."

Seemingly hypnotizing herself, Alice muttered for a long time before solemnly placing the grenade in front of her.

This was a grenade shell crafted from a special spiritual ore from the Shushan world.

Compared to other spiritual ores, this one had a very narrow range of utility; one could even say that many people wouldn't pursue this kind of ore.

This spiritual ore naturally absorbs spiritual energy, and even True Essence, storing it within the mineral.

Subsequently, it catalyzes the energy within to constantly expand and collide.

In the end, after reaching a certain limit, it explodes with a bang.

Jiang Yan hadn't even made it clear what kind of destruction it could cause when it released all the stored energy in one go.

He only said that once, an unlucky cultivator at the late stage of Refining Spirit into Void accidentally encountered such a cluster of spiritual ore while mining.

It is said...

A large area in the far east of the cultivation world was blown away, and that cultivator fell into the void, losing half his life.

So, when Jiang Yan discovered that the Shushan spiritual ore cluster had this kind of ore, to be honest, he had a real headache.

It was only because there wasn't much of it; otherwise, Jiang Yan would have moved away in a heartbeat.

He didn't want to live with such a time bomb.

Originally, someone had actually proposed forging this kind of spiritual ore, which could fully absorb True Essence, into materials for protective artifacts.

The expectation was beautiful: all of the opponent's attacks would be absorbed by this spiritual ore upon hitting oneself.

But...

Never forget the characteristic that this spiritual ore accumulates energy and explodes.

A personal artifact that you have no idea when it will explode...

How is this any different from engaging in close-quarters combat while holding a grenade with the safety pin pulled?

It's true that the enemy doesn't cause you any damage after fighting for a long time, but if you turn around and blow yourself up, isn't that still a joke?

Therefore, from the very beginning, after Jiang Yan took this ore out, he intended to seal it away.

But as luck would have it, Klee saw these ores and then told Alice.

Didn't that just walk right into the trap?

Ore that explodes when energy is injected?

Isn't this the perfect material for forging top-tier explosives!

Others might not be sure when this kind of ore will explode, but Alice and Klee are different.

These two are natural-born demolition geniuses; they have a talent for explosives that transcends everyone else.

Seeing Alice's sincere request, Jiang Yan eventually let her try it.

This trial found Alice her signature weapon.

As long as she holds these ores in her hand, she can accurately distinguish when they will explode.

As for why...

Alice only says it's the intuition of a demolition genius.

Jiang Yan was too lazy to ask more, so he simply waved his hand and assigned all these dangerous, unwanted ores to Alice.

There was only one requirement...

Take these explosive things and go far away to blow them up!

No one dared to help her forge these ores; even Cloud Retainer bluntly refused to be in the same room as Alice while she carried them.

With no other choice, Alice taught herself artifact refining and finally managed to forge these ores into the shape she imagined.

Namely...

This huge grenade in front of her; Alice had hundreds more of such weapons.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone at Shushan, Alice is a genius who runs around carrying a pile of grenades with the safety pins pulled, delivering surprises to people everywhere.
