Chapter 337
"Is that what you call becoming a god? In any case, I don't feel you resemble a true god in the slightest."
"It seems that because your strength progressed too quickly, your state of mind couldn't keep up. This experimental subject is a failure."
"However, this brat Diluc actually has something to him. The Doctor senses something else on Diluc; it seems somewhat like the Adeptal Arts of Liyue, yet it is different from Adeptal Arts. It looks more like some other cultivation system."
"Interesting, this is truly too interesting." The Doctor's expression grew increasingly manic.
"If I can research these mysteries, I too will be able to become someone who changes this world."
"Beelzebul, I shall launch a new Archon War!" Suddenly, Scaramouche burst into loud, crazed laughter again.
【Mu Yang: "Raiden Ei, what is your take on this?"
Raiden Ei: "Unable to control his own power, he has already become lost within it. The choice to abandon him back then was correct. An Archon War? Hah, based on him?"
Zhong Li: "Speaking from a general rational perspective, in terms of combat power alone, he has indeed surpassed most of the Adepti in Liyue.
He might even be no weaker than Osial."
Mu Yang: "Oh? Is Osial under Guyun Stone Forest that weak?"
Mu Yang felt that Scaramouche wasn't powerful to any significant degree; he was about on par with the level Mu Yang was at when he obtained the Geo Archon's Gnosis.
Zhong Li: "After so many years, due to erosion and being suppressed, Osial's strength has declined far too much.
Back in the day, his strength was still quite good."
Venti: "Hehe, that was the overlord of the seas, and only you would say his strength was merely 'quite good'."
Mu Yang: "That's very Zhong Li!"
Nahida: "Mr. Mu Yang, please hurry and take action. The commotion Scaramouche is causing is a bit too large; Sumeru City is already starting to shake violently."
Mu Yang: "Understood."】
This time, Nahida ultimately invited Mu Yang to help, even though she was also capable of taking action against this Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal.
At worst, she could just simulate it a few more times; Shouki no Kami only possessed strength comparable to an Archon, not the status of a true Archon.
On this point, Nahida was still quite confident.
But at this moment, the most important matter in Sumeru was still driving out the Fatui. She needed to coordinate the troops from the center to drive those Fatui out; this might even escalate into a war.
Therefore, she could only entrust Mu Yang to help.
Regarding this, Mu Yang did not refuse. He detested both Scaramouche and the Doctor immensely. Since he had encountered them all at once this time, there was no possibility of letting them off.
Perhaps many obsessive Scaramouche fans would think that Scaramouche was innocent, that those things weren't done by him, and that their 'Scara-baby' was merely being used.
As long as Scaramouche knew that those things were all designed by Dottore, he would surely awaken to the truth, join the protagonist's side, and then become a decent combat force.
But although high-end combat power was lacking, Mu Yang stated that he couldn't bring himself to do such disgusting things.
In any case, he was the type who was almost driven to quit the game because of Scaramouche's banner back then.
Before Scaramouche, he had spent over forty thousand; after Scaramouche, he didn't even want to top up a single 648.
Now seeing Scaramouche, Mu Yang was also eager to try. This guy seemed like he would be very interesting to hack apart. Hopefully, he could be sturdy enough to take a few more slashes.
"Slash!" A bolt of lightning wrapped in blade Qi descended from the sky, grazing past Shouki no Kami, yet the entire underground factory and the ground above were directly split in two.
"Who is it? Daring to ambush your great god!" Seeing this, Scaramouche was not afraid; instead, he became even more manic.
While the Doctor was dodging and observing Diluc, he also cast his gaze toward the source of the attack. His brows lifted slightly; he hadn't expected that this person would actually come to Sumeru.
If it were him, it seemed Scaramouche's value wouldn't be worth much.
As someone who had witnessed Mu Yang's combat power with his own eyes, the Doctor felt at this moment that Shouki no Kami wasn't enough for Mu Yang to dismantle.
The most critical point was, could this clone of his escape?
Was it still in time to run away now?
If he couldn't escape, could he conduct a transaction with Mu Yang this time to buy his own life?
He didn't want to end up like that previous segment, which was directly slashed to death by Mu Yang for offending him.
"I heard you want to restart the Archon War?" Mu Yang's cold voice rang out.
"Hahahaha, how is it? Worship me! I have already become a god!" Scaramouche, however, laughed recklessly, ignoring everything else.
"Worship?" Mu Yang's expression was also incredibly subtle. He glanced toward the Doctor's direction: "Dottore, when you were making this guy, what exactly did you add inside? I haven't heard that Forbidden Knowledge causes a drop in intelligence! Your experiment is subpar."
"Is it a failure?"
The Doctor said with some helplessness: "I don't know either. Perhaps it's because the power surged too violently, leading to a runaway of power."
He indicated that this absolutely could not be a failure of his experiment; it was just that this guy Scaramouche was too much of a waste, unable to even properly control such power. It was truly shameful.
As expected, this guy was someone who should have been discarded.
Even as an experimental subject, Scaramouche was full of flaws. He shouldn't have held expectations for Scaramouche in the first place.
"Bastard, are you blaspheming a god?" Hearing Mu Yang's words, Scaramouche also became furious: "Wait, this blade is... what is your relationship with that old woman Beelzebul? Why do you have her weapon?"
By the end of his sentence, Scaramouche's tone had also become manic.
Old woman... you are afraid you are going to die a miserable death!
(Seeking flowers, seeking monthly tickets, seeking auto-subscriptions, mwah, love you all!).
