Chapter 997: Paimon, that little clever ghost

Seeing Mu Yang is not the type of person who likes to sit and wait for death.

Since he knows that the person behind the All-Devouring Narwhal is a huge hidden danger, Seeing Mu Yang naturally cannot leave such a hidden danger behind.

One does not fear a thief stealing, but one fears a thief coveting.

That Surtalogi is a huge hidden danger to the Teyvat continent.

After all, he has already arranged for the All-Devouring Narwhal to come to the Teyvat continent, which proves that the other party has already set their sights on the Teyvat continent. Such a person must be eliminated, especially if the other party knows Seeing Mu Yang's ability, it is even more impossible to let the Teyvat continent go.

It can be said that for Surtalogi, Seeing Mu Yang's intent to kill is already set.

As for Skirk, Seeing Mu Yang decided to let her go for the time being last time. If the other party is sensible, Seeing Mu Yang does not mind giving her a way out; getting a position in the Teyvat continent is not impossible.

After all, as of now, the Teyvat continent is still quite lacking in experts; many places do not have corresponding people to manage them.

In the future, when the Six Paths of Reincarnation are established, Seeing Mu Yang plans to let Lumine manage them, and besides that, there are other territories.

This also leaves Seeing Mu Yang feeling helpless. Even if he wants to expand the Teyvat continent, Seeing Mu Yang has no way!

After all, there are not enough talents and powerhouses. Even if the territory is expanded, if there is no one to manage it, it will only make these unmanaged areas the main places for the Abyss to attack, becoming the soft underbelly of the Teyvat continent.

【Neuvillette: "Please tell me how I need to cooperate."】

Regarding Seeing Mu Yang's choice, Neuvillette decided to support it; he also feels that Seeing Mu Yang's behavior is quite correct.

As for the All-Devouring Narwhal, it might be very tricky, but according to current intelligence, it seems it doesn't count for much to him.

If it were before, Neuvillette might not have had a way to deal with the All-Devouring Narwhal, and might even have felt that the other party could counter him.

But now, hmm... he is already a Complete Dragon; a mere All-Devouring Narwhal simply doesn't count for anything. You evil beast, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!

He, Neuvillette, is a professional!

【Seeing Mu Yang: "Hmm, wait a moment, you will take action to deal with the All-Devouring Narwhal. It is not convenient for me to show up directly.】

【If I appear, I am afraid those behind-the-scenes masterminds will not find it convenient to come out."】

【Neuvillette: "Can do!"】

【Focalors: "I will appear then too. I don't know if I can deal with the All-Devouring Narwhal, but I can still manage to protect Fontaine.】

【Furina, wait, do you intend to take action with me?"】

【Furina: "Eh? Me? But can I?"】

【Although I have a Vision now and am trying my best to develop the power of the Vision, my strength simply cannot participate in such a battle, right?"】

【Focalors: "No, Furina, you don't need to belittle yourself; you are actually already very strong.】

【And I can use my power to protect you.】

【Over the past five hundred years, you have been replacing me in bearing the duties of the Hydro Archon.】

【You have been under great pressure and torture; now is the time for you to show your strength.】

【You have done so much before, even more arduously than me; you should not miss this opportunity to show off in front of others."】

【Furina: "This..."】

Showing off in front of others? Does Furina not want to?

Truth be told, she actually wants to quite a bit. She wants to live like a human, having her own joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness.

She wants to become a true human, but at the same time, Furina also wants to become a true Hydro Archon.

In Furina's view at the time, if she could become a true Hydro Archon, she could save Fontaine, at least not be as powerless as she was before.

Now that there is an opportunity, Furina is also tempted.

【Zhong Li: "Just treat it as saying goodbye to the past five hundred years.】

【I can understand your feelings, but there are some differences between my behavior and yours.】

【The you of the past had no strength, yet had to disguise yourself as a god, with loneliness enveloping your entire body, fearing that if you didn't do something well, you would ruin Focalors' plan, fearing that you would hurt Fontaine.】

【And as for me...】

【Hmm, I have the strength, but I don't want to live the life of a god; I want to live the life of an ordinary person, so I walk in Liyue as a mortal.】

【It is not just me who is like this; the Anemo Archon Barbatos is also like this. Sometimes we also want to be like humans.】

【However, we all know that we are always gods and have our own duties.】

【Furina, although you didn't have power before, you were already a god; at least your spirit was already that of a god."】

【Furina: "Is that so!?"】

Furina herself had not expected that she was already a god.

However, there is one point that also makes Furina very happy, and that is that her strength is progressing very quickly.

It seems she does indeed have the potential to become a god. During this period, Furina has also been working hard to train herself; on one hand, she is purifying some Abyssal power, and on the other hand, she is learning martial arts from Clorinde.

Because Clorinde looks very handsome and good when using a one-handed sword, Furina learned her martial arts from Clorinde.

And Furina also displayed her talent for learning martial arts to the fullest, and soon learned seven or eight out of ten of Clorinde's swordsmanship.

Perhaps this doesn't count for much in Lei Dianying's eyes, but it is very commendable for Furina.

Even Furina herself is conflicted; if she had started cultivating five hundred years ago, she might have already become the Sword God of Fontaine; why would she have needed to be so fearful?

After all, she is at least another Hydro Archon.

Regarding this, Focalors is also helpless. It seems that this point really has her own problems. In order to disguise herself well, she really didn't teach Furina anything. If she could have taught Furina some martial arts earlier, and then let Furina cultivate for a few years before going to disguise herself as the Hydro Archon, Furina wouldn't have been so miserable.

So the culprit who caused Furina's days to be so miserable is actually herself?

Although the current Furina has not reached the level of an adeptus, she is already not weak among ordinary Genshin characters.

If one really calculates it, she might be comparable to Keqing when Seeing Mu Yang first arrived at the Teyvat continent.

That is already very commendable.

One must know that Keqing at that time was considered by many to be a martial arts master who would rank among the best in Liyue's history if she could practice martial arts well.

This is a genius who is capable in both literature and martial arts.

And Keqing started cultivating from a young age, day after day, year after year, to reach that realm.

But Furina is different.

It can only be said that the gap between people is not just a little bit.

Now that Furina has such strength in a short time, on one hand, it is because Seeing Mu Yang gave Furina a cheat, and on the other hand, it is also because Furina's talent is indeed quite good.

【Furina: "I am willing, then I will leave it to you, the other me!"】

【Focalors: "Good, you return to the Court of Fontaine first; I will temporarily merge with you."】

【Seeing Mu Yang: "Once you are ready, I will lure out the All-Devouring Narwhal; be prepared."】

【Lumine: "Eh eh eh, wait for me, I can arrive at Fontaine immediately!】

【Wait for me!"】

Regarding Seeing Mu Yang and the others' behavior of not wanting to wait for her, Lumine was speechless. One must know that she had rushed to Fontaine for this battle. ===== CHAPTER 999 =====
