Chapter 116

"I, Reborn in Teyvat, Aspire to be a Ruthless Villain"

"Hmm... a good concept. It's best if it makes people hate him to the bone, wishing they could bite him to death."

"What are you muttering about, Miko?" Raiden Ei curiously leans toward Yae Miko, tentatively trying to hear what she is saying.

"I said," Yae Miko's lips curl slightly: "I said..."

"Beelzebul, I have ascended to godhood; the era belonging to you has already ended."

"Hehe..."

Raiden Ei: "....."

"Miko, I think your skin is itching."

"If it really comes to that, I'll send you to Su Bai's house and let him help scare you again, to make you more honest."

"Oh my, that's exactly what I'm hoping for." Yae Miko laughs until her delicate body trembles: "You've learned to be smart too, wanting to find an excuse to send me inside to investigate intelligence?"

Raiden Ei: "Ah?"

In the livestream room.

Nahida: "Ah, what does it mean when Su Bai says those things to me? Is he questioning that my approach is wrong?"

Paimon: "Please refer to the choice regarding Azar and apply it to Scaramouche."

Alhaitham: "Are all those who once fantasized about overthrowing the gods to be executed?"

Nahida: "But he did help me investigate Irminsul. Could it be that my final choice was wrong?"

Scaramouche: "Don't understand, whatever, I don't care anymore."

Dottore: "You fellow, I have a bit of an impression of you now. It's simply ridiculous, just like a child."

Scaramouche: "Bastard, you are the one who deserves to die the most."

Dottore: "No, no, no, the Sumeru Grand Sage of the past life is much more ruthless than me. No matter how ruthless I am, I have never raised a butcher's knife against my Fatui companions."

Arlecchino: "Is it possible that it just hasn't reached the time you need to?"

Tartaglia: "Sigh... I understand you people who play with schemes the least. It feels tiring; it's not as practical as having a good fight..."

Tianquan Ningguang: "So that means all of our information has been recorded into Irminsul. If the information on Irminsul changes, we will also change accordingly."

Mona: "Is it like a fate star chart? The information from Irminsul is transmitted to the False Sky, and the projection of the False Sky is actually the information on Irminsul."

Consultant Zhongli: "According to what you say, could it be that Grand Sage Su Bai's goal is also Irminsul?"

Venti: "Eh? Is he setting his target directly on Irminsul?"

Paimon: "Wow, Su Bai is so scary. He doesn't realize that once the information on Irminsul changes, all of us will be greatly affected, and might even disappear, or at least become like Scaramouche, with no one able to remember him."

Fischl: "Ahahaha, I finally understand. So that's it, so that's it. What a crazy guy."

Mona: "....."

Lisa: "....."

Fischl: "Hmph hmph hmph, Grand Sage Su Bai must want to destroy the world, which is why he treats life with such disregard. Anyway, when the end of the world comes, everyone's fate is only death. Dying early or dying late is the same."

Enjou: "Whoa! Although your tone is very strange, why do I feel like what you're saying makes a lot of sense?"

Fischl: "Right, right? After all, this pair of eyes of mine can see through everything."

Mona: "....."

[The nation of water.]

[Fontaine.]

[A few days after saying goodbye to Nahida, Su Bai steps into the city of Fontaine, which is full of technological vibes.]

Furina: "My dear has come to Fontaine."

Yae Miko: "Coming to wreak havoc on your Fontaine, what's there to be happy about?"

Furina: "Hmph! None of your business."

[However, just as he steps into the Court of Fontaine.]

[Su Bai turns into a quiet corner.]

[After observing the surroundings and finding no one, his figure actually starts to become transparent.]

[Until he disappears completely.]

Enjou: "Ah?"

Aether: "What kind of ability is this? Invisibility?"

Jean: "Eh? Mr. Su Bai can actually do such a thing?"

Lisa: "It's over, it's over. This is a major discovery. Sisters, we must be careful from now on."

Raiden Ei: "Indeed, to be able to hide his body so flawlessly; if used for a sneak attack, it would be impossible to guard against."

Skirk: "Indeed, Mr. Su Bai's moves are too strange and unpredictable."

Lisa: "Ah?"

Alice: "What a magical invisibility technique. The reincarnator is full of treasures. How did you do it?"

Su Bai: "Ahem ahem, watching the show, watching the show..."

Yae Miko: "Ei, Lisa's 'be careful' means we should pay attention in our daily lives. In case this brat sees us naked one day, we wouldn't even know."

Collei: "Mr. Su Bai, you..."

Amber: "This... this is indeed too scary..."

Nilou: "Going to be seen naked?"

Su Bai: "....."

Su Bai: "Sigh, I'm really drunk. Even if I know invisibility, I wouldn't look."

Su Bai: "And if you're scared like this by such a small matter, what will you do if you see me have X-ray vision one day?"

Lisa: "What, you also have X-ray vision?"

Jean: "This... is it true..."

Yae Miko: "I suggest blindfolding his eyes."

Lumine: "Stupid fox, are you scared silly? If he has X-ray vision, what's the use of blindfolding him?"

[Su Bai, in an invisible state, moves through Fontaine as if entering an empty land.]

[He senses the places where Fontaine's energy gathers.]

[He arrives at the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale in the basement of the Opera House.]

["There is actually consciousness within such massive energy."]

["Is the real Focalors really hidden here?"]

[Su Bai thinks to himself.]

[But he does not take the next step.]

[Until late at night.]

[The Opera House is long empty.]

[After most of the people of Fontaine have entered deep dreams, Su Bai finally extends his arm and touches the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.]

[The next moment, his consciousness enters the core, and two strands of consciousness mix into the massive rhythmic energy.]

[Soon, he sees Focalors in white clothes.]

["Who are you..."]

["Who!?"]

[Seeing someone invading the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, Focalors is stunned.]

Focalors: "This is your lover from your past and present lives, Focalors."

Furina: "Hey, why are you explaining it yourself?"

Neuvillette: "It fully shows that Focalors doesn't care about the situation in Fontaine in the past life at all."

Focalors: "Ahem, because as the plot progresses and with your analysis, I increasingly feel that Su Bai definitely doesn't look like the so-called villain you describe."

Charlotte: "But this feeling of people who loved each other in the past life being enemies in this life is still a bit sigh-inducing and painful."

Kamisato Ayaka: "That's right, it feels inexplicably desolate."

Focalors: "To tell the truth, I don't feel it at all. After all, in this life, he is sitting right beside me, hehe..."

Yelan: "So sweet."

Eula: "Is love really that wonderful?"

Paimon: "Eula can try it too. Anyway, it doesn't cost Mora."

["Fatui Harbinger, The Knave."]
