Chapter 297

【Mu Yang: "Regarding Regarding Zhongli, Azhdaha, how is your battle going? Do you want me to participate?"】

【After all, Morax, as one of the Seven Archons, has been polluted by the Abyss, and Celestia cannot turn a blind eye."】

【Asmoday: "Why don't you let me do it!"】

【Regarding Regarding Zhongli: "Are you going to take action? If so, the Geo Archon can disappear for a while!"】

【Azhdaha: "What about me? Didn't we agree before that I would be both injured with you?"】

【Regarding Regarding Zhongli: "Just let the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles beat you up too."】

【There is indeed hatred between the Dragon King and the Heavenly Principles, but Azhdaha does not have such a problem.】

【If there is really the authority belonging to the Geo Dragon King in the Gnosis, Regarding Regarding Zhongli wouldn't mind handing the Gnosis to Azhdaha, but the Gnosis doesn't seem to have any effect on Azhdaha, at least Azhdaha doesn't need it himself.】

【Azhdaha: "!!!"】

【Morax, you have no heart!】

【He can't beat Asmoday!】

【Mu Yang: "Cough, you guys solve this as soon as possible. I can feel that Osial is about to break the seal."】

【You guys should be ready."】

【Regarding Regarding Zhongli: "Okay, Azhdaha and I will have a wave."】

…………………………………………………………

At Guyun Stone Forest, Aether brought the Abyss Mage here. According to the Abyss Mage's words, Osial could break the seal today.

This place is very close to Does Does Liyue Harbor, and Osial, strengthened by Abyssal power, will definitely cause some trouble for Morax, at least it will cause some trouble for Does Does Liyue Harbor.

It's impossible for Osial to meet Morax after coming out and then be killed in one move.

Osial is at least the overlord of the sea, the Vortex Archon. It's impossible to be so weak, right?

However, both Aether and the Abyss Mage were confused at this time.

They already knew about the events at the Rite of Descension before. Leaving aside Lumine becoming a reserve for the Tianji, even the Geo Archon Morax was polluted by Abyssal power, which Aether and the others noticed.

Morax said that they designed to pollute him, but Aether said he was very innocent.

It is absolutely impossible for them to have done this!

At the very least, Aether and his subordinates did not do this.

However, Aether suspects that this was the work of Rhinedottir or the Jester and his cohorts.

They are not the only ones in the Abyss Order who wish to take revenge on the Seven Archons; there are many other Khaenri'ahns, though most of them are helpless against the Seven.

There are few truly powerful individuals, but there are indeed a handful who would wish to achieve this.

For instance, Gold Rhinedottir; Aether does not doubt for a moment that she could achieve this.

As for causing the Seven Archons to fall into the Abyss, Aether notes that he previously only intended to make the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, fall; he had never set his sights on the Geo Archon, Morax.

After all, Morax's temper is not exactly pleasant. It is said that during the Archon War, Does Does Liyue was the place where the most Archons perished, and beneath the Guyun Stone Forest, a vast number of Archons are sealed.

Even Aether does not believe he could defeat Morax in a one-on-one fight. If Morax were to lose all restraint, he would truly be finished.

Moreover, he still has a sister; Aether does not dare to touch Morax's bottom line. At least at this stage, Aether will not do it.

But now, Morax has been corrupted by abyssal energy. He could not possibly have misread that sight.

Just who is so fierce?!

As for whether Morax can recover, Aether does not doubt it; he has never seen anyone recover after falling into the Abyss.

However, now that Morax is having problems, Does Does Liyue must be in chaos. If one were to add Osial to the mix, Does Does Liyue would be as good as destroyed.

Even with the presence of the Adepti, Aether does not believe they are a match for Osial, especially since this time, they have brought an enhanced version of Osial.

Wait!

Suddenly, Aether discovered a blind spot. He finally realized his previous oversight; it seems he had forgotten the existence of one person.

(╯)╯┻┻, if that man makes a move, it seems Osial wouldn't even be worth looking at!

He would likely be cut down by a single sword strike from Seeing Mu Yang the moment he broke his seal.

Aether has some understanding of Seeing Mu Yang's strength; this person is definitely not below him. In a situation where he cannot kill the other party, Aether is unwilling to offend Seeing Mu Yang.

Forget it, he should go find Seeing Mu Yang. Perhaps he can win him over; after all, even the Geo Archon Morax has been corrupted by the Abyss.

This Teyvat continent is truly beyond saving.

At this moment, Seeing Mu Yang should also be thinking about leaving Teyvat. Only by cooperating with them will Seeing Mu Yang have any hope.

Just as Aether prepared to take action, his expression turned grave. A beam of light descended from Celestia, causing Aether to tremble all over.

It's that woman!

Why has the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles come?

Aether is aware of the fact that the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles has awakened. Back when he discovered he had ruined things and the world was being eroded by the Abyss, he had intended to take Lumine and leave Teyvat, only to be blocked by this woman.

At that time, with himself and Lumine at their peak, Aether felt powerless when facing the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

Perhaps compared to the powerhouses of other worlds, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles might not be much; at the very least, Aether has seen existences stronger than her.

But in this world, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is indeed very powerful; Aether has not even seen an existence stronger than her.

Fortunately, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had consumed too much power previously to seal the abyssal energy; otherwise, Aether would truly have no confidence in facing her.

But now, why has the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles appeared as well?

Could it be because of Morax?

Thinking of this, Aether could not help but feel anxious. If the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles discovers their schemes, will all their efforts be in vain?

At this moment, Aether himself does not know what to say.

Have I been set up?

Of course, compared to destroying Does Does Liyue, the matter of Morax falling into the Abyss seems to have greater value.

The main thing is, this wasn't his plan!

If the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles discovers their plan, the blame will fall squarely on them.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" the Abyss Mage asked, looking at Aether in a daze.

If he hadn't been following Aether the whole time and known that Aether hadn't arranged for them to corrupt Morax, he would have wanted to flatter Aether at this moment.

After all, this is Morax!!

It is said that he is the strongest among the Seven Archons. If the Abyss Order were to wage war on Teyvat in the future, the Geo Archon Morax would definitely be one of their most troublesome enemies.

Now, it's fine; Morax is no longer a threat.

No matter who did this, the Abyss Mage wants to praise the other party for doing a fantastic job.

"We must hide ourselves. If the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles discovers us, it could lead to no small amount of trouble."

"Although I am not afraid of her, now is not the time for a final battle." Aether naturally could not tell his subordinates that even with his sister, they couldn't beat the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles!

One must maintain an air of prestige; if they knew his dark history, it would be difficult to lead this team in the future.

"Your Highness is absolutely right!" The Abyss Mage believed this deeply.

After all, Aether's strength is indeed formidable. If he hadn't gone to assist Sumeru in fighting the dark calamity back then, Celestia and the Seven Archons would never have been able to destroy Khaenri'ah.

Although they cannot understand why Khaenri'ah had so much power to protect Sumeru at the time—weren't they enemies of Khaenri'ah?

If they hadn't dispatched a massive amount of power to help Sumeru resolve the dark calamity, they might not have lost to the Seven Archons and Celestia.

It is just that the Abyss Mage seems to have forgotten that back then, the Seven Archons and Celestia were not just facing Khaenri'ah; the abyssal monsters were also targets they needed to eliminate.

Even the abyssal monsters appearing in the Seven Nations were so terrifying, let alone the monsters that emerged from Khaenri'ah.

Although Raiden Makoto's strength was inferior to Raiden Ei's, she was definitely not a weak god to be bullied.

She still possessed the average strength of the Seven Archons, yet even such a Raiden Makoto perished in that catastrophe.

The machines and powerhouses of Khaenri'ah indeed possessed decent strength, but the abyssal monsters also greatly exhausted the strength of the Seven Archons and Celestia, eventually forcing them to abandon Khaenri'ah.

"Hmm!" Aether turned his gaze toward the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, wondering if this would alert the enemy!

…………………………………………………………

At Nantian Sect, the battle between Regarding Regarding Zhongli and Zhong Kui had reached a white-hot stage. The Adepti also joined the battlefield one after another. It can be said that this time, Azhdaha, Cloud Retainer, Moon Carver, Mountain Shaper, Streetward Rambler, and the Conqueror of Demons were all working together to fight the Geo Archon Morax.

Even when facing so many powerhouses, Morax still displayed terrifying strength, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

In order to ensure Regarding Regarding Zhongli doesn't lose his reputation and get eroded by the Abyss, this point has been made, but his combat power must be maintained!
