Chapter 339

Their boss is indeed not very smart most of the time.

【Keqing】: Then back to the main topic, the Akademiya must be liquidated, and what about the Fatui? (Keqing: Question)

【Tartaglia】: Haha, more colleagues to go to jail with. (Tartaglia: Proud)

【Scaramouche】: Sometimes I really don't know what your brain is made of, to be able to gloat here. Is your brain filled with muscles?

But I haven't seen you be that strong either. (Scaramouche: Distracted)

【Tartaglia】: You'd better pray that you're not the one going to jail when the time comes. (Venti: Leisurely)

【Kaeya】: This kid is also Fatui, right? Catching him is definitely the right move!

(Funny)

【Yae Miko】: Support! (Yae Miko: Smirk)

Sanctuary of Surasthana.

Grand Sage Azar knew the result after watching the video.

Now, he has arrived at the entrance of the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

When the doors of the Sanctuary of Surasthana slowly open, Grand Sage Azar sees Buer, and Buer sees him.

What kind of look was that?

Filled with disappointment and displeasure, Buer, whose consciousness is connected to the Irminsul, knows everything.

She is extremely dissatisfied with Grand Sage Azar's actions.

Even her gaze carries disdain.

"Greater Lord Rukkhadevata..."

Azar wants to say something but is too ashamed to speak.

"Still have some humanity, knowing how to be ashamed, but that's as far as it goes."

Gu Chen curls his lip and says, "Speak, how do you want to die?"

"Original Grand Sage, can you grant me some dignity?" Azar knows he cannot escape death; dignity is his final plea.

"Dignity?"

"You are not worthy of dignity."

Gu Chen shakes his head and says indifferently, "Since you can't imagine it, I will say it."

"Exposed in the wilderness? Sounds pretty good, but it feels like letting you off too easy."

"Death by a thousand cuts? Although very painful, I still feel it's letting you off too easy."

"Let me think... How about letting you be Dottore's test subject? Why do I suddenly feel I'm being too cruel..."

A cold smile appears on Gu Chen's face: "How about, letting you experience Forbidden Knowledge?"

Azar shudders.

The horror of Forbidden Knowledge has already been seen in the video.

Being plagued by such pain... Azar cannot imagine it.

He is enveloped by fear, his whole body trembling.

"When you were high and mighty in Sumeru, you should have thought that you would have a day like this."

"Not just you, others will also receive the punishment they deserve."

Gu Chen says indifferently:

"No!"

Azar suddenly becomes agitated: "What right do you have to decide my fate?!"

"I support his approach." Buer smiles.

She is also a benevolent deity, but that doesn't mean she won't be angry.

No matter how miserable Azar's end is, it is something he brought upon himself; he is not worth pitying.

"You can't either! You are just the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata from another world!" Azar's face is ferocious.

"I agree with the Sect Leader's approach!" Nahida steps forward and says.

"You..."

Azar suddenly deflates.

Although Nahida cannot control Sumeru and holds no real power, her status as the Dendro Archon is acknowledged outside of Sumeru.

No matter from what meaning or angle, Nahida has the qualification to punish him.

"You see, they both support me."

Gu Chen spreads his hands, then says indifferently, "Even if you weren't under Nahida's jurisdiction, so what? Who in this world could protect you? Or rather, who would be willing to protect an ingrate? Even if there were such a fool, what strength and confidence would they have to confront me?"

protect an ungrateful wretch? Even if there were such a fool, what strength and confidence would they have to oppose me?"

Azar falls into silence, not saying another word.

"Now, enjoy all the pain that the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata you believed in endured. Then reflect properly on how you betrayed the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata."

"Don't forget... Nahida is the reincarnation of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata; you are betraying your faith."

Azar suddenly widens his eyes.

Gu Chen's hand is already placed above his head, and endless pitch-blackness pours into Azar's brain like a torrent.

Intense pain churns in his mind like steel needles.

Azar reaches out with both hands to clutch his scalp.

Bizarre whispers ring in his ears, and his mind is filled with madness.

Abnormalities appear on his body as well.

Gray scales are growing on him.

Miserable wails ring out on the terrace of the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

Buer is expressionless.

Nahida cannot bear it, but thinking of herself, she feels this is what Azar deserves.

The kind-hearted Nahida simply chooses not to look or listen.

The commotion from the terrace attracts the attention of the Eremites.

Late at night, Cyno and Alhaitham also rush over.

Upon learning that the sages of the Akademiya had imprisoned the Lesser Lord Kusanali, Cyno could no longer endure it.

"Serves you right!"

Cyno snorts coldly.

"I believe the other sages should receive the same treatment," Alhaitham says.

"They haven't run, have they?" Cyno is a bit worried.

"Run? Run where? The Irminsul records everything, including their escape routes," Alhaitham shrugs.

He doesn't think those sages will run; on the contrary, they will wait honestly for everything to descend.

Because they know themselves that they cannot escape.

No matter what method is used, this trial cannot be avoided.

Cyno says immediately, "I'll go find them right now!"

Cyno leaves immediately with some people.

Not long after, several sages are brought here. Seeing Azar's struggling and painful appearance, they are all terrified, their faces filled with endless regret.

"Imprisoning your own deity—this alone is an unforgivable crime."

"You even fantasized about creating a god. Should I use 'ignorant' to describe you, the smartest people in the Akademiya, or 'arrogant'?"

Gu Chen shakes his head and injects Forbidden Knowledge into them one by one.

"Now, enjoy everything the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who once protected you or your ancestors, experienced, and then repent for yourselves in pain."

Gu Chen pays no more attention to the disgusting insects.

He turns to look at Alhaitham and Cyno.

"Mr. Grand Sage," Alhaitham and Cyno bow slightly to show respect.

"You are quite good." Gu Chen nods slightly, raises his hand to pat Alhaitham on the shoulder, and says, "You have personality and ability. This is unique in the Akademiya, and even rare in the Qiming Academy... Now that such a big thing has happened in the Akademiya, you have to take up the burden."

It is rare even in the Qiming Academy. Now that such a big event has occurred at the Akademiya, you must take up the burden."

Alhaitham twitches the corner of his mouth and says, "Mr. Grand Sage, there's no need to give me empty promises, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Gu Chen frowns in displeasure and says, "How can you call it empty promises? I'm making you the Grand Sage of the Akademiya right now!" ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
