Chapter 424
This kid, what was his purpose in resurrecting her?
(It's almost confirmed; originally the whale was defeated by Furina, Focalors gave her power to Furina, and then it was Furina's highlight plot. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems the Archon Quests and character quests are indeed a bit disconnected, and Furina wouldn't have had the Pneuma/Ousia attribute either. The team is messing things up again!).
Decarabian believed that wanting to resurrect an Archon must require paying a huge price.
Even if the kid in front of her was now the Anemo Archon and had a relationship with that ruler, it was still the case.
Could it be that Mondstadt was about to be finished, and Barbatos couldn't handle the situation, so he came to her for help?
"Hehe, actually, it's just that I have the ability to resurrect you now, so I did it. After all, if it weren't for you fulfilling me back then, I'm afraid I would still just be a wind sprite until now," Venti said halfway, then spoke with rare seriousness.
Venti was a god who knew how to be grateful. On his path to becoming a god, Decarabian had given him the most help.
If there hadn't been an opportunity, Venti naturally wouldn't have worried about how to resurrect Decarabian.
After all, this matter itself was an impossible thing.
But after seeing Raiden Ei and Seeing Seeing Guizhong resurrected, how could Venti let such an opportunity pass?
At the very least, he had to repay Decarabian. Not only did he resurrect Decarabian, but he also restored her divine power.
By now, he should have proven to Decarabian that he had led Mondstadt well, right?
"You don't need to thank me!" Decarabian shook her head slightly, saying with a complex expression.
Admittedly, Barbatos had his current status because of her help, but even if she hadn't given her power to Barbatos, following the situation at that time, she would have gradually been abandoned by her people.
Then she would have fought with the Wolf King, and in the end, both would have been injured, or even perished together. By then, Barbatos would still have "inadvertently" absorbed her authority.
This was destined!
It was also what the Time Ruler had told her at the time.
The so-called Anemo Archon position to be fought over was actually destined a long time ago.
Although she was unwilling, Decarabian also had no way to change it. As for resenting Barbatos?
That wasn't necessary. After all, Barbatos was also the one manipulated by fate; he was also a pawn of fate.
As an Archon, Decarabian herself couldn't find a way to solve the problems of her people. She hoped her people could live a good life.
Now it seemed that Barbatos had indeed achieved this point.
It was just that there were some things that Decarabian couldn't figure out.
"Regardless, it was you who fulfilled me," Barbatos said, looking at Decarabian with a complex expression.
If he was just an ignorant and naive wind sprite back then, now he was definitely the one hiding the deepest among the Seven Archons.
As the trump cards of the Geo Archon Morax were revealed bit by bit, he, Barbatos, still had quite a few trump cards hidden.
At the very least, the things he understood were no less than Morax's.
Of course, these secrets might not have any use on the current Teyvat continent, but Barbatos could still keep them hidden.
"As for resurrecting you this time and restoring your power, on one hand, it's to thank you, and on the other hand, it's because I need your help. The Teyvat continent needs your help," Barbatos said seriously.
"The Teyvat continent needs me?" Decarabian was a bit confused.
Although her power was decent, it wasn't enough to help the Teyvat continent, right?
You have to know, when facing those fates, she didn't even have the slightest power to resist. Now asking her to save the Teyvat continent, Decarabian expressed that she couldn't do it!!
Not to mention Decarabian, even Dvalin looked at Barbatos with suspicious eyes: "Barbatos, what exactly are you calculating?"
Despite verbally complaining about Barbatos in every way.
Dvalin still cared about Barbatos very much and regarded him as his best friend.
"Ehe, actually, it's an operation to save the Teyvat continent," Venti first giggled, then he told them about Mu Yang and the chat group.
"What? The Heavenly Principles have already changed hands?" Dvalin felt terrible as a dragon.
As a Dragon King, he cared very much about the Heavenly Principles.
If it were the former Dragon King, he would still try to challenge the Heavenly Principles. After all, in the eyes of many Dragon Kings, the Teyvat continent was the world of the Dragon Kings, and the Heavenly Principles were just a robber and a thief.
But Dvalin also knew of Phanes's power, but he didn't expect that Phanes had actually fallen.
Regarding this, Dvalin really wanted to say, it's good that he fell!!
But at the same time, he was also worried about the safety of the Teyvat continent.
Even Phanes had fallen; it seemed that the Teyvat continent had reached its most dangerous moment.
They also had to gather all their combat power to fight against the Abyss.
Dvalin hated and feared the Abyss very much; back then, just the poisonous blood of Durin had made him suffer immensely.
If the Abyss were to invade on a large scale, wouldn't the Teyvat continent be finished? And he would be finished too!
"Fighting for the Teyvat continent?" Decarabian laughed at herself: "I didn't expect that I would still have such a use.
However, I still want to meet this new Heavenly Principle.
If the other party can satisfy me, I don't mind fighting for them.
If I cannot be willing to follow them, I would rather die."
"It seems I've come at the right time." Just as Barbatos was about to say something, a space portal opened, and the figures of Mu Yang and Alice walked out from it.
"Mu Yang, you're here." Venti looked at Mu Yang with full embarrassment.
Originally, Venti thought that recruiting Decarabian was a sure thing. He didn't expect that the other party would actually make such a request.
However, this did fit Decarabian's personality.
"Hmm!" Mu Yang nodded slightly and looked at Decarabian. Hmm, a very good-looking mature woman.
She was very similar to Serval from Honkai: Star Rail. Mu Yang could understand this; after all, they were both games under miHoYo, so it seemed very normal, even logical, for characters to look alike.
"It's you two..." Seeing the arrival of Mu Yang and Alice, Dvalin looked at them trembling. If he could, he really wanted to make himself smaller.
Neither of these two was someone to be trifled with.
Mu Yang was a bit better; Dvalin had only seen him take action against the Golden Wolflord back then.
But the fiery red woman beside Mu Yang was different.
This woman was a devil.
The place where he lived was blown up by this woman!
Dvalin hadn't lacked the thought of seeking revenge on Alice back then; as a Dragon King, he still had his own pride.
It was just that after seeing Alice's combat power, Dvalin chose silence. He wasn't afraid of Alice.
It was just because the poisonous blood was affecting him at the time, and his strength hadn't recovered, so he chose to endure it temporarily.
"Hmm, Dvalin, looking at you, you're willing to join our side, right?" Mu Yang glanced at Dvalin and nodded slightly.
If Dvalin really didn't want to join his side, Mu Yang wouldn't actually slaughter him and use him as material to create a new god.
After all, you have to consider the master when beating a dog.
Venti had a good relationship with him, and as long as Dvalin hadn't made a mistake, it really wasn't easy for him to take action against Dvalin.
"I am willing." Dvalin looked at Venti, who was nodding at him, and quickly agreed.
If it were Phanes, there was no way he would agree, no matter what.
Even if it meant death!
But Mu Yang wasn't Phanes, so the situation was different. Lord Dvalin wasn't unwilling to fight for him.
Moreover, they were also fighting for the Teyvat continent.
Mu Yang gave Dvalin a satisfied look and directly pulled him into the chat group.
This guy was very sensible; he would be working for him from now on!
Afterward, he turned his gaze to Decarabian and said softly: "So, what do you want to tell me?
Or what do you want to ask me?"
"How much do you know about my affairs?" Decarabian asked Mu Yang in return.
"Although Barbatos didn't say it explicitly, I've roughly guessed seven or eight out of ten," Mu Yang chuckled. "I'm curious about your question now."
"If you were me, what would you have done back then?" Decarabian took a deep breath and gazed at Mu Yang, asking: "Thinking I was protecting my people, but being considered a tyrant who imprisoned them by my people.
If it were you, what would you do?"
"Let them leave. As for those who are willing to believe in me and follow me, I will continue to shelter them," Mu Yang said without hesitation. "Since they want so-called freedom, then all the consequences that may result from this are for them to bear themselves.
Since they are not my people, I don't need to care about their life or death.
Even not taking revenge on them is already my mercy.
After all, back then, I had sheltered them.
If it weren't for me, they wouldn't even have had the chance to survive."
"This..." Venti covered his forehead, speechless.
