Chapter 10: Azhdaha: How can I live under others for long?!

After Kaeya explained this, everyone understood Barbara's mood.

【Lumine】: Barbara's faith has collapsed.

【His Highness】: One less devout believer of Barbatos, congratulations!

【Barbara】: Recovered, fortunately, it's within the acceptable range! (Cry)

【Furina】: I really want to have such a devout believer!

【Collei】: Eh? Could it be that Miss Furina is also a god?

【Furina】: Hmmph! How is it? Are you shocked! Are you shocked to the point of wanting to cry?!

【Neuvillette】: Mr. Venti's lines are really being used by you.

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: It turns out there are two gods among the group friends, it seems this chat group is really a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons reside.

【La Signora】: Hope it's really only two!

【Yae Miko】: Oh my, although I don't know the other gods, I know that our Inazuma's god is also in the chat group~ Everyone guess who it is?

【Kamisato Ayaka】: (Dazed)

【Kirara】: Eh eh eh, is the Shogun also in the group?!

【Raiden Ei】: The Shogun is also in the group?!

You thick-browed Raiden Ei, you know how to hide your identity.

Seeing Raiden Ei's comment, Yae Miko couldn't help but laugh.

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: (Alert)

【Tartaglia】: Well then, while Mr. Gu Chen and the others are heading to Stormterror's Lair, let's investigate just how many gods are actually in this group. @【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】 Mr. Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli, have you discovered anything?

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: In my humble opinion, gods possess many titles. There are the formal names of the Seven Archons, and then various other names, such as Lord Barbatos, who is Venti.

【Lyney】: Looking at it this way, is only our Hydro Archon of Fontaine using her real name online?

【Furina】: I am truly sorry to everyone for being a Hydro Archon who uses her real name online! (Annoyed)

【Lumine】: Wait!

【Lumine】: I refuse to accept this! From entering Stormterror's Lair to heading to the old tower, besides having to cross the wind barriers, there were puzzles to solve. Why did Gu Chen just fight his way through the whole time?!

Everyone snaps back to reality and looks at the video.

In the video, Gu Chen and the others have already arrived at Stormterror's Lair. Starting from the wind barrier, Gu Chen punched a giant hole right through it, and then they all just walked straight in.

Puzzle mechanisms?

In Gu Chen's eyes, they were as good as non-existent.

A single punch slammed into the tower structure, causing the entire tower to shake, with the faint sound of a dragon's roar coming from the top.

【Venti】: Goodness, that is truly violent!

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: I must say, this method is simple and effective.

【Lumine】: (Tearing up)

【Klee】: Don't cry, Honorary Knight big sister!

【Lumine】: Wuwuwu, I only hate that I'm not strong enough, and that I actually spent time honestly solving those puzzles. I feel so terrible!

Watching Gu Chen in the video smashing through the puzzle mechanisms like dry wood and killing the monsters with the same ease, Lumine is so envious that tears are about to fall.

If she had this kind of strength, why would she bother solving puzzles?!

If she weren't so weak, why would she have to follow the rules of the puzzles?

Mondstadt is a land of freedom; if you want to solve them, solve them, if you don't, just smash them to bits!

Invincible power, please bless me!!

【Venti】: He has already met Dvalin. @【Dvalin】, may I ask what your current thoughts are?

【Dvalin】: No one will think you're a mute if you don't speak!

Boom!

Gu Chen punched Dvalin in the face, knocking his head to the side.

After another elbow strike to the neck, Dvalin nearly fell from the sky.

Seeing this, Gu Chen's attack frequency suddenly accelerated, his fists raining down on Dvalin's body like a storm.

Spotting an opening, Gu Chen stepped down, pinning Dvalin's body and forcing him to lie flat on the edge of the tower.

"Lumine, I'm counting on you!"

After restraining Dvalin, Gu Chen shouted.

"Coming!"

Lumine ran over quickly.

【Tartaglia】: Miss Lumine doesn't look like a weak woman at all. I hope we have a chance to spar!

【Lumine】: Heh heh, I am very strong; I just look a bit delicate when I'm around Gu Chen!

【Paimon】: I can testify to that!

【His Highness the Prince】: Disgusting!

【Kaeya】: It's quite obvious; no matter how strong one is, they will always appear delicate in front of the person they admire. I can understand that!

【Lumine】: That's just a past life, everyone be rational!

【Collei】: Eh, after Miss Lumine went up to purify him, Dvalin is changing!

【Miss Miss Miss Ganyu】: His aura has calmed down; he doesn't seem as crazed as he did before.

【Kamisato Ayato】: Pay attention, the tower is collapsing. It looks like it won't hold much longer; they're going to fall!

【Gorou】: Mr. Gu Chen can fly, and Mr. Venti is the Anemo Archon, so it should be fine, right?

【Venti】: Don't count on me; I can't even beat a single Abyss Mage!

【Furina】: I don't believe you, unless the Abyss Order paid you Mora!

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: I am not a god, I do not understand this matter, and I will offer no comment.

No wonder they say ginger gets spicier with age!

This old guy is quite good at acting, isn't he?

Boom!

Suddenly.

The tower in the video crumbled.

Everyone was caught off guard and slid toward the ground.

At this height, if they fell to the ground, they would likely end up as a pile of mush!

Whoosh—

Just at the critical moment, a massive figure streaked across the sky, catching everyone steadily on its back.

"Dvalin..."

"Why do you not call out to me as you did before?" Dvalin asked.

Venti paused for a moment and said, "I do not wish for you to obey the Abyss Order, but that does not mean you must obey me, Dvalin."

A cyan orb of light appeared in Venti's hand and merged into Dvalin's body.

"This... is the power of the Anemo Archon's kin? But I am no longer one of the Four Winds..." Dvalin sighed.

"You still protected us just now, didn't you?"

"Dvalin, from now on, fly more freely with my blessing."

Venti lay on Dvalin's back, gently stroking his spine, a faint smile on his face.

【Paimon】: Yay! Dvalin has regained his senses!

【Dvalin】: Although I don't want to admit it, Barbatos is indeed a decent god. Of course, only decent!

【Venti】: Ehe!

【Azhdaha】: Hmph, a dignified Dragon of the Elements, actually willing to be a lapdog for a human?!

【Azhdaha】: The Elemental Dragon Kings are born between heaven and earth; how can one be content to live under a human for so long?!!

【Azhdaha】: I observe that the Barbatos in the video is weak, nothing more than a tiny ant! @【Dvalin】 Why don't you and I join forces to suppress Barbatos and Morax? Afterward, we can split the lands of Mondstadt and Go Go Go Liyue between us. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: ...

【Venti】: ...

【Lumine】: I'm laughing so hard, could this Azhdaha be a kin of the Go Go Go Liyue Geo Archon?

【Xiao】: ...

【Cloud Retainer】: ...

【Miss Miss Miss Ganyu】: @【Azhdaha】 Senior Azhdaha, please wake up!!

【Osial】: Although I am not of the dragon race, I would also like to join in and plot this grand undertaking!

【Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang】: ...

【Miss Miss Keqing】: ...
