Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"My apologies, Lord Xuan Ge, the Black King is currently not in the palace; you may need to wait a moment."

Serein walked out of the palace, then bowed slightly to express his apology.

Although at first sight of Xuan Ge he felt this was not a good person, after interacting along the way, he confirmed...

This Xuan Ge truly is not a good person.

Starting from the angle of mocking Khaenri'ah's food, Xuan Ge had been roasting the Black King nonstop.

Roasting to the point that he, a Skyward Knight, was completely unable to refute.

And speaking with Xuan Ge required extreme caution, because he had already pinned roughly dozens of big hats on him.

The line that currently lingers most in memory is: Do you ultimately serve the King, or serve the people.

If you serve the King, Xuan Ge said you shouldn't be called Skyward Knights, but Heaven-Execution Knights.

If you serve the people, that is the true Skyward Knight, bracing heaven and earth for the people, propping open a space for survival.

So he admired Xuan Ge from the bottom of his heart, and simultaneously developed a trace of interest in Liyue culture.

"Hehe, no matter." Xuan Ge waved his hand, then brought Sasayuri and Xiao to sit to the side.

Without Serein needing to say it, he had already seen that so-called Black King confronting a blond-haired man.

If nothing unexpected happens, what follows should be an unexpected occurrence.

This Black King probably is about to be backstabbed by his own subordinates.

"Heard you Khaenri'ah got a new Crown Prince, seems he's not even of the Black King's bloodline; is that really alright?"

He asked this question simply to watch the show.

After all, for a King to be fatuous to this degree counts as unprecedented and never to be repeated.

Not to mention him as the Xianzhou Emperor, even in the Divine Might General's era, if he himself dared to arbitrarily designate someone as his successor.

Forget the Divine Martial Army falling into great chaos, it would basically be completely alkyl octazine.

This is merely a General; if it were a ruler-level Emperor or King.

The second he designated Xing to be Xianzhou Emperor, within three days Xianzhou would split, fall into civil war, and beat each other's brains out.

Serein fell silent; this question truly was hard to answer.

The Divine Might General had many viewpoints that were correct, so he chose not to answer.

Seeing Serein frightened by his own hat-pinning, Xuan Ge casually cracked a joke.

"Then if your Black King croaks in a bit, you won't think I'm the suspect, right?"

Serein's brow furrowed, and he immediately looked toward the palace main hall.

Seeing the Court Guards over there still standing guard in place, he then spoke: "No, because your army is outside, and you are in my sight."

"Cough cough, Serein, mind your wording." Hearing him say the General was in his eyes, Sasayuri simply couldn't hold back.

Those words were somewhat ambiguous.

"Sorry, I meant to say, you are all within my gaze."

Serein didn't feel shame, explained a sentence and said: "Since the Black King is busy with affairs, why not come with me to dine first."

"No need." Xuan Ge shook his head slightly, gaze turning toward the city interior, "Three seconds from now, you can perform your Skyward Knight duties."

"Hm?" Those words made Serein freeze.

But before he could react, a power violently erupted from the palace main gate, followed immediately by endless pitch-black gas.

Xuan Ge reached out and grabbed Serein, yanking him behind himself, then blocked this abyssal erosion.

"Serein, immediately summon your troops to evacuate the crowd."

Hearing this order from the Divine Might General, Serein subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But before the words left his mouth, the ground began to tremble, those few Court Guards guarding the palace had already mutated, transforming into twisted black humanoid monsters.

"Serein, perform your duty." Xuan Ge looked back at him with cold eyes, ordering again, tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Yes... General..."

Serein looked at Xuan Ge's pair of brilliant golden pupils, then feeling that overwhelming aura, subconsciously submitted.

"Xiao, Sasayuri, you two immediately return to the army, prepare to help Serein evacuate the crowd."

"Yes! General!"

Xuan Ge finished speaking, strode toward the palace.

He did want to see how exactly this Abyss Rhinedottir absorbs.

Learning Morax's posturing Shrink Earth to an Inch, he crossed in one step, arriving directly at that pitch-black palace filled with abyssal power.

Upon entering, Xuan Ge saw Dainsleif kneeling on one knee, currently cosplaying an incompetent husband.

Xuan Ge then looked at the five on the high platform, seeing them dividing and devouring abyssal power, and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Yo, all here."

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, everyone looked in unison, only to discover a person they had never seen before.

"Who are you?" Dainsleif looked at him in confusion; from the style of this armor, he didn't seem to be a Khaenri'ah person.

"I'm just a passing Divine Might General, remember that."

Surtalogi stopped absorbing the Abyss, raised his eyes to look at Xuan Ge and asked: "Divine Might General, naming yourself that, you must be very strong?"

"Mhm~" Xuan Ge looked at that big guy, smiling as he crooked a finger.

"Heh, then let me test this power on you!" Surtalogi hoisted his greatsword and charged straight at Xuan Ge.

No one stopped Surtalogi's action; everyone wanted to see just how strong he had become after absorbing the Abyss.

The greatsword struck solidly on Xuan Ge's armor, yet failed to leave even a single scratch.

"Had enough?"

Xuan Ge blew a breath of cold aura lightly at that greatsword, and in the next second, that Purple Starry Greatsword froze at light speed.

Surtalogi retreated a step in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

Judging from the feel just now, he seemed to have struck something extraordinary.

And that thing also gave him a sense of despair that it was completely indestructible.

"The last one who dared act this arrogant before me, the grass on his grave is already..."

Xuan Ge's words came to an abrupt stop.

That Feather Emperor's tombstone has always been tended by someone; the grave grass never had a chance to sprout.

Because Xuan Ge didn't finish this line, the atmosphere on the scene fell awkward for a moment, while Xuan Ge was still staring eye-to-eye with Surtalogi.

"Your eyes are annoying me."

Surtalogi:???

Xuan Ge's face turned cold, then he kicked him into the wall beside them, who knows how deep and far he was smashed.

This kick genuinely startled Rhir; he immediately asked the person beside him: "Vishap-Finir, who exactly is this person?"

Vishap-Finir did not speak; right now he dared not move a muscle.

Just now, while Surtalogi charged up, he had activated his ability, wanting to see the bottom of this Divine Might General.

But the result was, he saw four indescribable existences.

A man with brown skin and golden blood on his chest; a bizarre figure covered in eyes, neither male nor female;

A woman with three faces, skin like a starry sky jigsaw; and a blue centaur, holding a great bow aimed at him.

But this still wasn't the most important part.

The important thing was, these four indescribable things were merely standing behind.

At the very front, sat a man clad in a Black Robe with Gold Dragon Embroidery, seated upon the Dragon Throne.

And this man was the Divine Might General before their eyes.

Just as everyone waited for Vishap-Finir's explanation, an unexpected person suddenly spoke.

"Xuan Ge, have you come to find me?"

"Rhinedottir?"

The others looked toward the voice, only to see her step down the stairs, walking straight toward that Divine Might General.

Xuan Ge held his arms, watching the Life Executor Naberius with interest.

"I originally thought Istaroth was already invincible under heaven; didn't expect there'd be another master."

"Rhinedottir, do you know him?" Rhir asked aloud, but Rhinedottir didn't even glance at him.

She walked to Xuan Ge's front and stopped, then switched into the Life Executor's Divine Garment, radiant light flowing around her.

"Heh, if Istaroth could return Raiden Makoto to five hundred years ago, why can't I return ahead of time?"

Rhinedottir's pupil colors abruptly changed, one silver one gold, reflecting each other.

"Aren't you afraid of Heavenly Principles' punishment?"

"What do I have to fear?"

Rhinedottir extended her palm, stroked Xuan Ge's breastplate, then slowly circled around him once.

"Anyway, that one is already your possession; sooner or later I will be too."

"Rhinedottir... just what are you saying?"

These few simple words from Rhinedottir directly shattered the worldviews of Dainsleif and the other sinners.

There's actually someone above the Heavenly Principles!!??

Just which Da Ye the hell is this?
