Chapter 636

After a long while, the captain's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty the Empress, no matter how I calculate it, the Fatui's army against Liyue's army..."

"Only has a one-in-ten chance of victory."

The captain wasn't trying to shake morale.

Honestly, even that one-in-ten chance the captain mentioned was watered down.

That one-in-ten chance for Fatui was built on the premise that Liyue's Sky Fortress didn't join the battlefield, the naval warships didn't join the battlefield, and all of Fatui's forces fought head-on against Liyue's three army branches.

Relying on Delusions and the bodily-modified Fatui, they could just barely hold back the Millelith's assault.

One must understand that Liyue's army at this time was not the Liyue army from the game.

Liyue's army at this point, under Jiang Yan's continuous forging, had long since broken beyond the scope of any mortal army.

Apart from the augmentations of the Sky Fortress and naval cannons, Jiang Yan had also equipped the army with martial techniques and cultivation methods obtained from other high-martial worlds through thousands of years of opening treasure chests.

What gave Fatui the biggest headache wasn't Liyue's army or navy.

It was the air force loaded with Demon God Grudge Bombs!

Although Fatui had also attempted a few air force reforms modeled after Liyue's.

They had never managed to find any leads.

Liyue's air force held air superiority, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Fatui.

If Liyue were ever pushed to the brink and deployed the Demon God Grudge Bombs from atop the Sky Fortress.

Even the Cryo Archon personally taking the field couldn't change the current outcome.

"Moreover, there is now the most serious problem of all."

The captain spoke again, breaking the silence within the great hall.

"If war breaks out, who can guarantee that Liyue's Geo Archon Morax, or the Wood Spirit Xianjun, won't enter the fray?"

"Even if we can hold back Morax, who is going to hold back the Wood Spirit Xianjun?"

"Not to mention, there are still two Elemental Dragon Kings present there now."

"Dendro Long Wang Apep, Geo Long Wang Ruotuo—who's going to stop them?"

The captain's words left the Harbingers and the Cryo Archon present feeling a sense of powerlessness.

They couldn't hold them back.

They simply couldn't hold them back.

Just at this moment, the entire great hall began to shake violently.

No.

Not just the great hall!

The entire Fatui Palace was trembling violently.

An indescribable pressure shrouded the entirety of Fatui Palace.

"Cryo Archon!"

"Get out here!"

An angry roar rang out from outside the palace, echoing throughout all of Fatui Palace.

The Cryo Empress and a group of Harbingers arrived outside the palace doors, where they saw a young man in a blue-gold divine robe standing quietly in the high sky, his gaze indifferently looking down upon the entirety of Fatui Palace.

His white-haired, pointed-eared appearance made the Cryo Empress and the Fatui Harbingers realize.

The man before them.

Was from Liyue.

The Wood Spirit Xianjun!

At this moment, the worst-case scenario had occurred.

One of Liyue's top combat powers.

The Wood Spirit Xianjun had personally come to Fatui!

"Wood Spirit Xianjun!! When did our Fatui ever provoke your Liyue?!"

"For you to act so brazenly, aren't you truly afraid of the one above casting her gaze down?"

It was laughable—a group of people wanting to rebel against Celestia were now invoking Celestia to threaten Jiang Yan.

"Heh? Celestia?"

"Why don't you take your Gnosis and go ask Celestia yourself, and ask him whether he dares to come down and stop me?"

Jiang Yan let out a cold laugh.

Give him face, and he's called Celestia, the ruler of this world.

Don't give him face, and what the hell is he?

If you're not convinced, I'll just destroy Teyvat outright. Worst case, I'll take everyone from Liyue and wander the stars, just like that Astral Express traveling through the universe.

The Cryo Empress's face darkened. The Wood Spirit Xianjun before her didn't even take Celestia seriously.

It seemed he had truly come with fire in his belly.

"I don't know where we have offended you? Even if you're going to wipe out our Fatui, you should at least let us die understanding why."

The Jester stepped forward and said to Jiang Yan.

But the look in his eyes as he gazed at Jiang Yan was filled with intense hatred!

The man before him was one of the chief culprits who had destroyed his homeland.

The Jester naturally hated him immensely.

Jiang Yan of course also knew that when he had erased the memories of the people of Khaenri'ah back then, there had indeed been some who had escaped and slipped through the net.

But Jiang Yan hadn't paid them any attention at the time.

It was the same now.

Jiang Yan raised his hand and flicked a finger.

BOOM!!!!!

A straight pillar of seven-colored light descended from the sky, slamming the Jester straight into the ground on the spot.

The other party had no ability to resist at all.

"What level are you, daring to talk to me face to face?"

Jiang Yan's tone carried utter contempt and disdain.

Not a trace of the joking, laughing manner he had shown back in Liyue.

"Wood Spirit Immortal Lord, do you truly intend to destroy Snezhnaya?"

The Cryo Archon's hands shimmered with divine power as the Cryo Gnosis floated around her, looking very much like she was about to start a fight.

"Destroy Snezhnaya — what does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Yan's tone was indifferent. With his right hand loosely clenched, the Cryo Archon was as if seized by the throat by someone, her face flushing red as she floated up.

She tried to wield the Cryo Archon's authority and the power of the Gnosis, but for some reason her power seemed to be suppressed, completely unusable.

"For the sake of the First Cryo Archon, I won't bother with a junior like you."

Jiang Yan said lightly, but the grip in his hand tightened more and more.

The Cryo Archon struggled ceaselessly, her face flushed crimson, bloodshot veins seeming to appear in her eyes.

"But if you keep playing those petty tricks behind my back, don't blame me for disregarding the First Cryo Archon's sentiments."

Jiang Yan spoke, then released his hand. The Cryo Archon plummeted to the ground, coughing wildly.

"This time I've come to Snezhnaya for only one person."

"Hand him over, and this matter will be written off just like that."

"Dottore, get out here!"

Jiang Yan's words exploded like muffled thunder, and almost everyone looked at the same time at Dottore, who stood behind everyone.

Dottore's face changed too at this moment.

He had not expected this matter to involve him.

"Immortal Lord, my lord, could there be some misunderstanding in this..."

Dottore had only just begun to say something when Jiang Yan had no intention of giving the other party any chance to explain.

He reached out with a beckoning motion, and Dottore's figure vanished in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the other party's body landed directly in Jiang Yan's palm.

Jiang Yan's large hand gripped Dottore's face, suspending his entire body in the air high above.

No matter how Dottore struggled, Jiang Yan's hand was like an iron grip, utterly unmoved.
