Chapter 310
At this moment, Columbina looked calmly at the silent crowd around her, her tone soft and ethereal.
"A temporary failure is not a reason for us to be dejected."
"We should stand up from where we fell!"
Columbina stared at the people around her without blinking, and finally, fixed her gaze on the Chief Fatui Harbinger, Pierro, who was sitting in the corner with a dejected expression.
"Pierro."
Columbina spoke again.
"Are you prepared to give up just like this?"
"Years of preparation, just because of the arrival of that Wood Spirit Immortal from Liyue, and the blow to you is this great."
Hearing Columbina's words, Pierro let out a heavy breath, looking at Columbina with eyes filled with dead silence and despair.
This made Columbina's pupils shrink, her heart startled.
It was the first time she had seen such a look in Pierro's eyes.
"Columbina, you don't understand..."
"You haven't had contact with that Wood Spirit Immortal; you simply don't understand how terrifying he is."
What surprised the Harbingers was that the once steady, calm, and world-weary Chief Fatui Harbinger actually had a thick sense of fear in his tone at this moment.
"I felt a power as vast as an abyss and as endless as the sea in him; facing him, I didn't even have the confidence to resist."
Pierro lowered his head, his expression extremely dejected.
"That power didn't come from this world at all; I once did research, and the strike he used against me came from outside the world; even if it transcended this world, this energy was unrivaled."
Pierro's words made Columbina narrow her eyes slightly.
But before she could refute, the Cryo Archon also nodded.
"When Dottore completely enraged that Wood Spirit Immortal, I could feel it."
"That feeling that made one tremble instinctively..."
"I have only felt it from the Heavenly Principles, no! Even..."
The Cryo Archon's eyes also held fear.
"That has already surpassed the Heavenly Principles."
This sentence instantly shocked everyone present.
You must know that their goal has always been to overthrow the Heavenly Principles and pull them down from the altar.
But now someone was telling them that the Immortal from Liyue had strength almost equal to the Heavenly Principles.
This was very terrifying.
For a time, everyone's eyes gathered on Pierro again.
Among everyone present.
Except for Dottore, whose soul had been taken away by Jiang Yan, only Pierro had ever withstood a strike from that Wood Spirit Immortal of Liyue.
Even the Cryo Archon had only been suppressed by Jiang Yan and knocked to the ground.
"That power... has long since exceeded the range that this world can withstand."
"This is also the reason why the Wood Spirit Immortal didn't directly take action to wipe out the entire Snezhnaya..."
As Pierro spoke, Columbina keenly discovered some blind spots.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately interrupted Pierro's speech.
"Then you mean that the Wood Spirit Immortal simply cannot exert his full strength, because once he uses it, the world will collapse because of it?"
"I understand what you mean, Columbina."
Pierro sighed softly, looking at Columbina with a somewhat complex expression in his eyes.
"However, you must understand that even if the Wood Spirit Immortal cannot use his full power, just by relying on the power he can use now, it is enough to kill us all."
"Enough!"
Just when Columbina wanted to refute, she heard the Cryo Archon suddenly shout coldly, then looked at the crowd in front of her and said indifferently:
"Everyone go out."
"I want to be alone for a while..."
The Cryo Archon said indifferently, covering her head as if she had a headache.
"Your Majesty..."
Columbina wanted to say something, but her hand was pulled by the Harbinger Sandrone.
"Enough, Columbina."
The Harbinger Pulcinella said indifferently to Columbina.
"You and Pierro are destined to never stop arguing today; let Her Majesty rest well."
The other Harbingers also nodded, and Columbina hesitated for a moment, took a deep look at Pierro, and then walked out directly.
"Pierro, wait."
Just as Pierro was about to go out, the Cryo Archon suddenly called out to him, making him stop.
"Your Majesty?"
Pierro looked at the Cryo Archon with some confusion.
After everyone had left, Pierro stood quietly in front of the Cryo Archon, waiting for what she had to say to him.
"Pierro..."
After a long time, the Cryo Archon suddenly spoke, her somewhat gray-white pupils looking at the other person.
"I want to... agree to that matter..."
"That matter?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Pierro's eyes, but immediately after, he seemed to think of something and widened his eyes.
"No, Your Majesty!"
"Other matters may have room for negotiation, but this matter is absolutely not allowed!"
"Have you forgotten why Khaenri'ah was destroyed back then?!"
"At that time, it was precisely because my philosophy was contrary to Rhinedottir's that I chose to leave Khaenri'ah!"
"Now you also want to accept their conditions?!"
The Cryo Archon was silent; how could she not know the huge risks of this matter.
However, after Jiang Yan's invasion this time.
It made her clearly realize the gap between herself and the other party.
For her plan, the existence of the Wood Spirit Immortal had already become an unknown variable.
No one knew which side the Wood Spirit Immortal would stand on at the final moment.
The Cryo Archon did not want to experience this feeling of powerlessness and humiliation again.
She needed power now!
A power that would allow her to defeat the Wood Spirit Immortal!
And this power, besides the Heavenly Principles, only existed in that place!
"But Pierro, do you want to experience that feeling of humiliation and powerlessness again?"
"Through the words just now, I already know..."
The Cryo Archon stared closely at Pierro.
"The Wood Spirit Immortal has already scared you, hasn't he?"
"Don't deny it; I can feel it very clearly."
"The fear from the bottom of your heart when you mention the Wood Spirit Immortal."
"Perhaps that is why Columbina, who is usually sparing with her words, said so much today, at this time, and even almost argued with you."
(Let's update to here today; there's something going on at home, and the update didn't keep up...)
