Chapter 970 Great Battle
Chapter 970 Great Battle
“This tone is… that of a ronin.” Based on the tone, Iya determined that the second voice was that of a ronin.
Paimon was puzzled: "But if this voice belongs to a wanderer, then who was that voice just now?"
Nasita's expression turned solemn: "I think that is the consciousness of that false god, born from the wanderer."
"He actually has self-awareness? Could it be that he is now 'omniscient and omnipotent' like the Great Tree King?" Paimon exclaimed in shock.
Nasita shook her head: "No, I can't sense any divinity in him like that of the Great Tree King, only a depravity like that of the abyss."
“That’s normal, after all, forbidden knowledge is itself a form of corruption of Teyvat by the Abyss. But one thing remains without a doubt…”
"At this moment, he is a true 'god.'"
Having regained control of his body, the false god controlled the god of true power to raise his hand and then look down at the three of them from above.
"Are we too late?"
Paimon's voice trembled with a hint of a sob: "Now... 'The Wanderer'... he's just one step away from becoming a god... what should we do..."
This was the first time Paimon had come so close to losing a friend.
As Paimon expressed his worry, the voice of the Wanderer echoed from within the God of the Righteous: "Don't worry about me... No matter what... You must stop me! This is my... last wish... If... if you really can't do it..."
"...Then let the 'General' come...let her end all of this..."
The wanderer's voice gradually faded, eventually falling silent.
Ying understood what he meant. He was Thor's creation, and everything that was happening now was, in a sense, because of him. If his fate was destined to be to perish here.
The wanderer hoped that the general, also a creation of Thor, would personally end his life, thus giving him a dignified end.
He knew that Ying possessed a token that could summon the Thunder General.
"It's too early to talk about these things now. Your story shouldn't end here. Wake up!"
Ying roared at the God of the Righteous Machine.
No one responded.
Finally, the false god's flippant voice rang out: "He won't respond to you; his role is over."
"The stage ahead belongs to me."
"Perhaps I can describe it in a more apt way—he has become one with me."
"Vagabond, that's a name that's been around for a long time for me."
"When the spirit is sublimated into a god, it is as if one has already lived through the same years as heaven and earth. Looking back from this point on, the existence called the collapse of the country is so insignificant and so ugly."
As he finished speaking...
The God of Righteousness's previously open face closed, and the triple barb in the middle of the red and white mask lit up, bursting out terrifying lightning.
The God of Righteousness—The Secret Lord of Seven Leaves of Silent Illumination.
Nasita analyzed her opponent's details: "A body that takes the concept of a 'mechanical doll' to its extreme, and a constant supply of energy from the Heart of God..."
"From a purely technical point of view, it is indeed worthy of praise, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the crystallization of human wisdom."
"If I hadn't seen the Starry Sky Palace of Liyue 1 and the Wishing Light of Inazuma 2, I might have said that."
Nasita said calmly, “To me now you are nothing more than a false god who uses the knowledge of the gods to put on the appearance of human wisdom, and whose spiritual level has not even reached the height of the gods.”
Upon hearing these words from the God of Justice, Ying's tense expression instantly relaxed.
Ying slowly drew Ying Chixiao: "Such pressure and oppression are indeed at the level of a god."
“But what you just said made me realize that although you and the rogue are indeed sharing a body, your consciousnesses are absolutely independent.”
Yingfeng's sharp eyes looked at the God of Righteousness: "If you really merge with the consciousness of the wanderer, or devour his consciousness."
"Then you must know that he has long since let go of his obsession with the collapse of the Thunder Kingdom. Now, he is just a wanderer."
"Your words have shown me that the wanderer still exists somewhere within you, and if you can be defeated, he can still be saved."
The voice of the God of Righteousness became ethereal: "Absurd delusion. If you can do it, then try it."
Then he began to respond to Nasida's question: "Every god born into the world, every heart of the god should be engraved with the word 'strife'."
"You call me a false god when it comes to this power and the joy that arises in my heart?"
Paimon stamped his foot in the void: "You are a false god! A false god without any self-awareness!"
Hearing Paimon's voice, the God of Justice's voice carried a hint of displeasure: "Do you know... you're interrupting a conversation between gods? You insignificant thing, have some self-awareness!"
Paimon was so frightened that he stepped back.
Iya stood before her: "A dialogue between gods? You, a false god who is not even as good as Bacha, dare to presume?"
"Hmph, there's more than one insignificant creature courting death..."
"Hmm, wait, this feeling of fear is..."
The God of Righteousness sensed the power within Iya's body, and his tone became somewhat astonished, his consciousness rejecting Iya from the depths of his soul.
However, before the God of Righteousness could ponder this further, Nasita interrupted him, saying, "The struggle engraved on the heart of the god, could it be... you mean the war between the demon gods?"
She shook her head. "The current stability in Teyvat didn't come easily. I didn't personally participate in the Daedric Wars, but in my opinion..."
"That was nothing more than a meaningless waste of energy driven by the 'laws,' and bringing it up again is pointless."
The God of Righteousness chuckled lightly: "Hehe... Is that so? I deeply regret that I was unable to participate in the true war between demons and gods."
[Ausel: Do you also want to be crushed to death by a barrage of rock spears?]
[Dream Demon: Do you also want to be scalded to death by lava?]
[Zhongli: One private seat in the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.]
Are you sure? Iya's judgment of you is extremely weak; someone like you would be cannon fodder in the Demon God War.
[Given Bai Ge's level of expertise, if he considers something average, then it truly is average, let alone weak. This indicates weakness without any distinctive features.]
"I've never seen a god in this world who doesn't crave power before. A god of wisdom, no wonder even your people have turned their backs on you."
Nasita said calmly, “I do not consider those who have turned their backs on me to be my people.”
"Ha, that makes more sense." The God of Justice chuckled disdainfully. "That's enough, God of Wisdom, 'Buyer'."
"You should know that wisdom cannot solve all problems. Right now, your only option is to fight me."
Nasita remained silent.
"Come!" The voice of the God of Justice grew excited. "Now, let us recreate a corner of the war between demons and gods, to 'vindicate' my birth as a god."
Yingliang drew his long-drawn Shadow Crimson Sky sword and pointed it at the God of Righteousness: "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
Before she finished speaking, the long-accumulated rock element surged forth, and the giant rock sword instantly materialized in Ying's hand.
With a mighty swing, she sent her greatsword crashing down on the God of Justice.
[Main Character: Sneak Attack!]
[So that's why he drew his sword but didn't attack! He was building up his strength!]
Gravel tumbled down, and dust billowed everywhere.
The metal body of the God of Justice was scratched and dented, but it quickly recovered.
A cluster of flames ignited from the smoke and dust, and Iya, enveloped in flames, soared into the sky, transforming into a pillar of fire that crashed into the God of Righteousness.
As the pillar of fire struck, the body of the God of Justice tilted slightly, his chest covered in charred black, and the part marked with the triple barb pattern caved in.
"Tch, he's got some skill."
"It won't be that simple next."
The God of Mecha raised the mecha's arm and grabbed straight at Nasita.
"Nasita!" Ying's figure landed and then quickly rushed towards Nasita's location.
Iya was also shocked and furious: "You big guy, you have no sportsmanship! We were the ones who hit you, but you're targeting others!"
The God of Justice ignored the two and continued to target Nasita. To him, Nasita, also a deity, was the most important enemy in this war.
As the mech's giant hand grew larger before his eyes, Paimon, though frightened, still stood in front of Narcida without hesitation.
Nasita looked at Paimon, who was standing in front of her, and gave him a sweet smile. Then she turned her cold gaze to the God of the Righteous: "I say, you seem to have misunderstood something very important."
Nasita raised her right hand, stood still in front of her, and then shook it.
Sprouts slowly sprouted from the ground. As Nasita clenched her right hand, the new sprouts on the ground seemed to be commanded to grow and spread in an instant, growing into tangled vines that occupied the entire platform.
The vines intertwined and wove together like chains, firmly locking the mecha arm that the God of War was reaching out to restrain.
Nasita's left eye shone brightly with emerald light, and divinity took root within it: "I am not good at fighting, but that does not mean I cannot fight."
“I am the god of wisdom, but I am not only wisdom.”
"Power is also in my hands!"
The vines wrapped around the mecha's arms were like giant pythons tightening their grip on their prey, launching a deadly strangulation against Narcida's feelings.
The metal groaned mournfully as it was strangled by the vines.
"Hmm? Interesting."
Although the vines were about to crush his right arm, the God of Righteousness did not care at all.
With a powerful jerk of its right arm, the God of Mechs raised the mech's arm, and lightning raged across it, eventually burning away the chains made of vines.
Upon seeing this, Ying's expression turned serious.
Accelerating plant growth and using vines as chains are things she can now do using the grass element as well.
The vine chains created by Nasita were far more powerful than she is now, yet they were so easily torn apart by the God of Righteousness.
This was indeed a tough battle.
Ying thought to herself.
"You've already attacked me once, so let's return the favor and I'll give you a taste of my own medicine!"
The God of Righteousness controlled his newly formed body, raising his hands to chest level. In the center of his chest, a triple barb mark gradually lit up.
And just as the God of Zhengji raised his hand...
Iya had already changed course and leaped towards the God of the Righteous Machine. As she rapidly approached, one after another fire elemental longsword condensed behind him, shooting towards the scattered soldiers like flying knives.
It's not turn-based, so who's going to wait for you to make a move?
This scene displeased the God of the Righteous Machine.
As a deity, I granted you permission to strike first, which is a kind of grace, but you are ungrateful and seek your own death!
The God of Power, who was gathering his strength, launched an attack on Iya.
The two arms in front of him that were charging up were unusable, but apart from the two arms in their normal positions, the God of Mecha had two more small arms on its back.
The massive arm slammed down on Iya. The damage from the fire elemental flying swords was completely ignored by the God of the Righteous Machines, who chose the most direct way to deal with Iya.
Unfortunately, his opponent was not as weak as he had imagined.
Iya jumped up from the spot, unfolded his fiery wings, and flew straight along his arm, constantly creating fire elemental flying swords to bombard the body of the God of Machines.
Ying and Naxida couldn't possibly watch Iya fight the God of the Righteous Machine one-on-one, so they immediately rushed to the front lines of the battlefield.
The God of the Righteous Machine used the wind elemental power that he had attached to him when he ascended to godhood to blow Iya away from his body.
Although he was a god created using the heart of Thor, the God of Righteousness still gained the right to use some other elemental forces when he ascended to godhood.
For example, wind, water, ice, and fire.
While it can't be controlled as flexibly as lightning, it can still perform some simple actions, such as blowing things off its body with the wind.
Blown away by the wind, Iya adjusted her body in mid-air, using her Flame Wings to cushion the impact. The moment she landed, she braced herself with one hand to stabilize herself, then stood up and looked at Ying and Naxida beside her.
"Let's all come at once."
Ying and Naxida nodded.
With a wave of his hand, a crimson-golden short sword appeared in Yi Ya's hand. At the same time, accompanied by a loud cry, a crimson kite flew out from Yi Ya's body.
Weapon - Crimson Kite Sky Patrol: Blazing Inferno 3
Summoned Beast - Red Kite 4
Compared to when he was unarmed in Inazuma, Iga is now much stronger, and his equipment has been completely upgraded.
Seeing that Iya was going all out, Ying did not hesitate either. The four elements of wind, rock, thunder, and grass appeared on her body in turn, and alternately gathered on Ying Chixiao.
Nasita slowly raised her hand, and the vines that had been burned by the God of Righteousness sprouted new life, growing branches and extending vines. The intertwined vines spread and occupied the entire surface of the platform.
The three rallied and faced the God of Righteousness together.
As for Paimon... she had already consciously found a suitable-shaped rock and hidden it behind her, trying her best not to become a burden in this great battle.
