Chapter 394: Ch 394 : The Upheaval of Abyssal Power
On the way to Bubu Pharmacy to find Qiqi, Su Yuan had been pondering a question...
What if the plan to destroy the Geo Archon’s throne failed?
Although Eerie Power and Abyssal Power were both formidable and unique, after all, Focalors had endured and accumulated strength for five hundred years before she could destroy the Hydro Archon’s throne...
Even if Eerie Power and Abyssal Power were special enough not to require five hundred years of buildup, what if it still took ten days or half a month to amass enough power to destroy a throne—what would he do then?
Right now, he had only half a day to find a way to destroy the throne...
If the plan failed, under the overwhelming strength of the eerie state Furina, both Zhongli and Madame Ping would die...
And if he couldn’t fulfill the contract with "Madame Ping," yet did nothing, Furina—held as a hostage by "Madame Ping"—would be executed, and he himself would also be doomed for breaking the contract...
What’s more, he no longer had any retries through death and rewind—if he failed now, he wouldn’t be able to change the outcome...
So failure was absolutely not an option.
He had to find a way to destroy the Geo Archon’s throne!
Not long after, Su Yuan and Zhongli arrived at Bubu Pharmacy and informed Baizhu and Qiqi of the urgent situation...
Baizhu didn’t hesitate at all.
He stopped his medical treatment work, handed it over to A-Gui, and then led everyone to an open space in the backyard of Bubu Pharmacy...
"The so-called thrones of the Seven Archons are not actual, physical seats, but more of a symbol..."
In the open space, Zhongli slowly spoke.
Then, streams of extremely pure Geo elemental energy gathered from within him, forming a lavishly decorated chair engraved with the Geo element symbol—on which the name Morax was also inscribed...
"The thrones of the Seven Archons are a reward and recognition granted by Celestia to the seven victors of the Archon War..."
"So, as long as we destroy this little chair you made, Zhongli, that counts as destroying the Geo Archon’s throne, right?"
Su Yuan nodded, then turned to Qiqi and said:
"Qiqi, get ready."
Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Qiqi nodded as well.
She performed a set of gentle warm-up stretches, then cast a Command Edict on herself—to destroy the object in front of her!
After the edict took effect, Qiqi first drew her one-handed sword and launched a series of slashes and thrusts at the throne using the Ancient Cloud Style Sword Technique...
But as expected, it had absolutely no effect.
If the throne of an Archon could be destroyed with mere physical attacks, that would be far too bizarre...
Immediately afterward, the Cryo Vision on Qiqi’s body began to shine brilliantly.
She infused her sword with Cryo elemental power and launched another round of attacks on the throne!
Watching the scene, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional...
In the game, Cryo infusion could only be granted by Chongyun’s Elemental Skill, but in this real-life Teyvat, as long as one holds a Vision, elemental infusion is easy—done with a snap of the fingers!
However, even with Cryo elemental attacks, the throne remained completely unmoved—there was no sign of any damage at all...
However, in the next moment, Qiqi extended her index and middle fingers, crossed both arms in front of her, and slowly closed her eyes...
Seeing this, Baizhu grew alarmed and quickly pulled Su Yuan and Zhongli a safe distance away...
Immediately after, a talisman made of condensed Cryo elemental energy appeared in front of Qiqi...
"Jade Talisman, Immortal Art: Opening the Casket."
Then, Qiqi raised her head, opened her eyes, and spread her arms wide.
The Cryo-element talisman instantly shattered, unleashing a surge of powerful Cryo energy that swept across the entire open space!
Su Yuan realized what was happening—Qiqi had just used what would be her ultimate skill if this were the game!
However, if even this move failed to destroy the throne, that meant Qiqi would have no other options left—she would be forced into the Eerie state in order to fulfill the edict...
Sure enough, in the very next moment, Qiqi’s expression suddenly contorted and twisted unnaturally.
An aura of Eerie power began to emanate from her body, and she snarled fiercely:
"How is a broken chair this damn hard to break..."
Immediately, Eerie power gathered on Qiqi’s one-handed sword.
She leapt high into the air and brought it crashing down in a fierce vertical strike against the throne!
This time, the throne was finally shaken.
A small crack seemed to form on it, and tendrils of Eerie power began seeping in, slowly spreading within...
Witnessing this, Su Yuan was overwhelmed with joy!
Looks like Eerie power really works! It can damage the throne!
Once the Eerie power fully spreads throughout the throne, that would be the moment the throne is destroyed!
At this moment, Zhongli seemed to be gazing intently toward the sky, as if on guard against something...
Seeing this, Su Yuan patted Zhongli on the shoulder and said:
"Don’t worry—The Heavenly Principles shouldn’t awaken that easily!"
"Let’s hope so..." Zhongli nodded as he replied.
In the time that followed, although "Qiqi" continued relentlessly attacking the throne, the spread of the Eerie power was still far too slow...
At the current rate, it would likely take several more days for the Eerie power to completely engulf the throne...
Su Yuan began to consider whether he should find a few more Eerie combatants to join the attack and see if that would speed things up a bit...
Or perhaps... let Tartaglia take over his body and test the effect of the Abyssal Power—would that work better?
Su Yuan thought to himself, Alright, let’s have Tartaglia give it a try first.
If the Abyssal Power doesn’t work either, then I’ll go look for additional Eerie powerhouses...
So, Su Yuan turned to Baizhu and said:
"Baizhu, let Qiqi return to normal for now. I want Tartaglia to try using Abyssal Power on the throne!"
Baizhu nodded, then quietly approached "Qiqi" from behind.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around her and said:
"Qiqi, I like you the most..."
However, "Qiqi" responded mercilessly:
"Four-eyed guy with moccasins and purple long johns, let go of me right now! I must destroy this stupid chair!!!"
As she shouted, "Qiqi" raised her one-handed sword and prepared to slash it down right at Baizhu’s head!
Seeing this, Baizhu realized his attempt had failed and quickly added:
"Qiqi, really—I like you the most!!!"
"You’ve always been such a great helper to me and Bubu Pharmacy!!!"
Finally, at the very last critical moment, Baizhu’s second plea succeeded—Qiqi successfully exited her Eerie state and returned to normal...
Immediately afterward, Tartaglia took control of Su Yuan’s body.
He summoned his Foul Legacy transformation, gathered Abyssal Power, and unleashed a powerful strike toward the throne!
But before Su Yuan could even see what kind of effect the attack had—
A massive dark red spatial rift appeared in the sky above...
A terrifying presence emerged in the heavens!
"Has the Abyssal Power... already begun to erode the thrones of the Seven Archons?"
