【Focalors: "Help Fontaine solve the flood problem?

Fine, I also admit that if Arlecchino could really help me solve the prophesied flood, I might really hand the Gnosis to Arlecchino.

I had already prepared to accumulate divine power and then sacrifice myself to let Neuvillette become the Dragon Sovereign in his full form to fight the flood."】

Mu Yang: "That flood prophecy seems to be that Fontaine is submerged by the flood, all the people of Fontaine die, and only you are left crying on the throne.

Do you think that if you, as the Hydro Archon, fall, the prophecy will be broken? And thus Fontaine can be saved?"】

Focalors: "!!!"

Neuvillette: "If it were Lady Focalors, she might really do that."

Navia: "Is this true? Lady Focalors?"

If anyone else had said such words, Navia would only take it as a joke, but these words were spoken by Mu Yang, so they couldn't help but take them seriously.

Moreover, looking at Lady Focalors' expression, it seemed her secret thoughts had been guessed.

Venti: "Sacrifice herself to save her own nation? If it were truly the last resort, Focalors might really do that."

The Tsaritsa: "If it were me, I would do the same; sacrificing the god herself to save a nation—it is worth it."

Seeing Seeing Keqing: "Is this the greatness of a god?"

Regarding Regarding Zhongli: "As far as I know, except for the Pyro Archon, other gods are willing to sacrifice themselves for their nations.

As for the Pyro Archon, I am not very familiar with her.

Therefore, I cannot give you an accurate answer at this time."

Hearing Hearing Ningguang: "Perhaps this is the god's love for the people; if one doesn't love the people enough, one cannot become one of the Seven Archons."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: "Even other Archons are like this, but the vast majority of Archons actually only care about their own people; as for other people's subjects, unless they are willing to join their side, they don't treat them as humans.

During the Archon War, there were even acts of specifically capturing other gods' subjects to turn those humans into slaves for their own people.

However, such Archons have almost all become the trash of history."

Seeing Seeing Keqing: "Capturing other gods' subjects to be slaves for their own... I cannot agree with such things.

But the saying 'history is written by the victors' must have come from here, right?"

Regarding Regarding Zhongli: "There were indeed such Archons during the Archon War, but such Archons were also more likely to be targeted.

After all, most Archons actually hoped that after they were defeated, their own people could live good lives.

Therefore, we maintained a tacit understanding that no matter who won or lost, as long as the other party's subjects were willing to join our side, we would treat them equally.

After all, at that time, no one knew who would achieve the final victory."

Nahida: "But the Archon War, fighting for seven positions—wasn't it a game?"

This was different from what Nahida knew.

In Nahida's view, the positions of the Seven Archons were predetermined.

Not only was Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's position as the Dendro Archon predetermined, but the other Seven Archons were also more or less predetermined; it was just a game.

Most of the Seven Archons didn't even experience much combat before easily obtaining their divine positions.

Oh, right, the main thing was to establish one's own civilization, then drive away the Archons within that range, and after the civilization one established developed enough, the position of the Seven Archons would naturally fall into place.

As for Barbatos, it seems he was directly gifted by Decarabian, who gave all his authority and power to Barbatos, while he himself had to lead the people who originally belonged to Decarabian and give them freedom.

In Inazuma, the two strongest Archons were Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei, and there weren't many other powerful Archons who could be their enemies.

And as the two Archons split from the Shade of Life, one of the Seven Archons should naturally be one of them.

In Sumeru, although there was a period of three-god rule, the position of the Dendro Archon was almost designated by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Even King Deshret and the Goddess of Flowers couldn't compete with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

They couldn't compare; they really couldn't. In terms of combat power, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata wasn't the most powerful, but in terms of brains and status, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was well-deserved.

And King Deshret and the Goddess of Flowers were courting death themselves...

In Fontaine, there actually wasn't a qualified Hydro Archon; those Archons who were truly powerful in Hydro elements were all on the great battlefield of Does Does Liyue.

They all ran into the sea...

There are rumors that Egeria was actually the heart of the first Dragon Sovereign, but I don't know if it's true or false.

Logically speaking, Egeria couldn't become the Hydro Archon, but in that area of Fontaine, there was no suitable candidate, so in the end, the Heavenly Principles could only find Egeria to become an Archon.

As for Snezhnaya, it was established by the Tsaritsa's predecessor, and that place wasn't particularly suitable for human survival, so there wasn't much war.

As a result, only Does Does Liyue had the most Archons; it was simply a chaotic battle of Archons, as if everyone had their eyes on the small patch of land in Does Does Liyue.

In order to win the Archon War, everyone kept fighting.

But the most powerful Archon was Morax; he was clearly a tier above the other Archons, and only if all the other Archons joined forces could they fight Morax.

But Morax wasn't isolated; on the land of Does Does Liyue, there was Azhdaha who had strength comparable to Morax, the Dust Archon who wasn't weak among the Archons, and a certain Guoba, and besides that, there were a large number of adepti; Morax wasn't fighting alone.

Therefore, the Archon War in Does Does Liyue could be considered the most tragic, but looking back carefully, it could also be considered to have had no suspense.

It was actually just the story of the Geo Archon leading his many underlings to annex other tribes along the way.

Nahida having such an understanding wasn't actually wrong; after all, the Archon War really was like that.

Asmoday: "The Archon War wasn't as much of a child's play as you say; at the very least, it determined the names of several nations and what kind of nations they were."

Mu Yang: "Ahem, that said, let's continue to discuss Arlecchino's strength. I don't doubt Arlecchino's ability; when I first met Arlecchino, I was also certain that this woman wanted to defect to me.

At the time, my feeling was mainly that if Arlecchino supported the Tsaritsa, the Tsaritsa's actions would be much simpler.

But looking back now, even if Arlecchino wants to defect to us, we need to be vigilant; at the very least, we cannot let the other party know about the existence of the chat group.

I suspect there are some problems with her."

The Tsaritsa: "Not just because of Dottore?"

Mu Yang: "Hmm, Dottore and the Jester are obviously in cahoots.

The Jester is now cooperating with the Abyss Order, and even the Abyss itself; I suspect Dottore was actually the same back then."

The Tsaritsa: "If that's the case, it's not incomprehensible; after all, many of Dottore's technologies were indeed given by Pierro.

If Pierro has already fallen into the Abyss, then I can understand it, after all, he has done so many evil experiments.

However, Arlecchino is obviously not qualified enough."

Mu Yang: "So I'm just worried that Arlecchino has some backup plans.

Actually, it's mainly because our strength isn't strong enough; if our strength were strong enough, we wouldn't need to worry about this or that, we could just sweep across."

The Tsaritsa: "I agree with this point, and I am also very helpless about this matter; it's a pity that no one among the Fatui can join the chat group."

Venti: "That said, isn't Rosalyne qualified?

Logically speaking, Rosalyne should actually have this qualification, right?

Her ability is beyond doubt, her ability is excellent enough, and she is loyal to the Tsaritsa and is irreconcilable with the Abyss.

If Rosalyne could join here, it would also be a help to the Tsaritsa, right?"

Venti clearly knew how important it was for the current Tsaritsa to have a subordinate who could listen and do things well.

Perhaps the Tsaritsa herself had already had such thoughts.

But for some reason, the Tsaritsa didn't say it.

Perhaps it was because Rosalyne had attacked Mu Yang before.

At that time, if it weren't for his sake, Rosalyne might have already died, and been killed by Mu Yang.

Mu Yang might be a lustful person, but obviously, Rosalyne was not within Mu Yang's range of interest.

Otherwise, Mu Yang wouldn't have acted like that, and even made Rosalyne a laughingstock of Mondstadt.

But for Rosalyne herself, Venti still wanted to strive for her.

Mu Yang: "Rosalyne? I don't like her arrogance; perhaps her ability is excellent, but she is too arrogant.

Even I don't have the qualification to be arrogant.

What right does she have?"

Fine, now everyone understood Mu Yang's meaning, which was that Rosalyne had been too arrogant in front of Mu Yang before.

Of course, they also admitted that Rosalyne was courting death; being arrogant in front of the Heavenly Principles—who do you think you are?

Some people might not care about these things, but some people cared a lot.

Mu Yang also had no obligation to accommodate Rosalyne.
