Chapter 765: The Goddess of the Third Month, The Struggle Between Snezhnaya and the Abyss

"Oh right, strictly speaking, she should be called the Goddess of the Third Month."

"The Goddess of the Third Month, huh? I feel like I've heard that somewhere."

"It feels like a long time ago. If you really can't think of it, just stop trying; in any case, she passed away many years ago."

Seeing Morax thinking constantly, Jiang Yan spoke up to remind him.

"Mm, I know."

What surprised Jiang Yan was that there were actually things Morax didn't know. Well, even in the game, information about the Goddess of the Third Month's era was only half-understood, and Morax wasn't an Archon from that time, so thinking about it, this was quite normal.

"Come to think of it, even though Liyue basically won't have any major incidents, the Tsaritsa has already cooperated with the Abyss. If her mind is influenced by the Abyss, then your contract won't be valid anymore, right?"

"If we argue based on facts, that is indeed the case, but until the very last moment of the contract, who can say whether she is fulfilling it or not?"

"Let's not talk about that. After this incident, do you think the black qi there and the one on the Abyssal Lord come from the same place?"

The topic between the two was like a ball being kicked back and forth; neither was willing to let the ball stay with them.

"Sigh, that black qi there... in terms of feeling, it should come from one place; both have the ability to infect Archons and humans."

Jiang Yan frowned, carefully thinking about the difference between the black qi of the Dark Outer Sea and the black qi of the Abyss.

"The black qi on the Abyssal Lord is like a dead thing; it can only infect Archons and humans when he actively controls it, but the black qi in the Dark Outer Sea seems to have its own consciousness, not only controlling those monsters to attack that uninfected tribe."

"Moreover, moreover, it actually placed an Archon as a bodyguard right next to the source of the pollution."

After saying this, Jiang Yan fell silent, as if organizing his words.

"In short, if it isn't because they lost certain abilities due to being controlled by the Abyssal Lord, then it must be that those black qi have evolved and transformed due to long-term infection."

Hearing Jiang Yan's description, Morax's pupils contracted slightly.

If what Jiang Yan said is true, then the Abyssal Lord not obtaining the black qi from that place is truly fortunate, but one still cannot be too careful; what if the black qi in the Abyssal Lord's hands can also perform conscious infection in the near future?

Just imagine, at the moment two armies clash, if one army has already been infected by the black qi, their strength increasing greatly is one thing; if contact with them infects oneself, that would absolutely be a disaster for the army. There's no way around it; with the large number of people in an army, this kind of spreading attack is absolutely a devastating weapon, yet there is no absolute means to suppress it.

"What about other nations? Forget about Lei Shen's side, since it's so far away; Snezhnaya doesn't pass through there either. 580, if we don't count Mondstadt and Sumeru, since the relationship is quite good, if there are any troubles on our side, they definitely won't refuse."

"Mm... just as the war was about to begin, I have already notified the gods of all nations, telling them not to interfere in this matter, but... Fontaine and Natlan probably can't wait for it to be none of their business."

"Sigh, after all, we aren't very familiar with them over there. Besides, even if they wanted to do something, their strength is what it is; it's better to do nothing."

"On a small scale, this is a war between us, the Tsaritsa, and the Abyssal Lord; on a large scale, this is a war between Liyue and Snezhnaya. It's better for them not to wade into this muddy water."
