Chapter 969 God of Righteousness
Chapter 969 Just One Step Away from Demonic Conquest
“In the upcoming battle against the false god, only I, the Traveler, Paimon, and Iya can participate,” Narcida announced.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
They all thought the decision was inappropriate.
Seno and Dixia stated that their strength was quite good among the Sumeru people and that they could definitely help Naxida, so they volunteered to lend a hand to Naxida and her group.
But Nasita refused, explaining her reasons:
“I understand your feelings, but Sumeru still needs someone to take charge of the overall situation.”
"I have to deal with the potential crisis caused by the false gods and cannot take charge of the overall situation. Caesar has already left, and now Sumeru can only rely on you."
"Furthermore, even if they are false gods, the power of gods is beyond the reach of mortals, and the powers possessed by false gods are also beyond the resistance of ordinary people."
"Moreover, that false god incorporated a great deal of forbidden knowledge during its creation, which will inevitably erode your minds during the battle."
"Although we cannot be sure if there is such a possibility, we cannot take the risk even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance."
"Therefore, we must choose someone who will remain unaffected even when facing false gods with me."
“I am a god, therefore I am unharmed.”
"Iya is a continuation of the divine bloodline, and so it is."
"The traveler is an arrival, possessing a status comparable to the world, and the authority held by false gods has limited influence on her."
Everyone nodded, accepting Nasita's explanation.
At this moment, Elhesen looked at Paimon and asked, "What about Paimon? Logically speaking, Paimon doesn't seem to possess the qualities you mentioned, so why bring her along?"
Paimon looked directly at Elhesen: "Elhesen, although I know you didn't mean it that way, I still feel like you're looking down on me."
Al-Hysen nodded to Paimon: "I'm glad you noticed that."
"So you really are looking down on me!" Paimon immediately challenged Elhesen to a "duel in front of the king".
[Hai Ge's daily antics with Paimon.]
I knew Hai-ge liked teasing Paimon.
Paimon challenges Elhesen to a duel before the Emperor.
So why bring Paimon along?
Naxida happened to be there as well.
"Alright, alright, Paimon, stop it." Nasita soothed Paimon.
After Paimon's antics, the atmosphere became a bit more lively.
Nasita looked gently at Paimon and slowly voiced her question about Elheisen: "Paimon is indeed different from us; she never possessed the talent to resist the power of the gods."
"But have you noticed that she has always been by Ying's side like a shadow?"
Her voice, like a gentle breeze through the forest, carried a touch of melancholy: the two of them had always been inseparable, having overcome countless dangers and faced numerous hardships together.
"In the torrent of fate, they always stood side by side."
Nasita lowered her eyes slightly, a faint glow emanating from her fingertips: if weighing the pros and cons alone, perhaps keeping Paimon would be the wisest choice. But…
She raised her head, her eyes flashing with unwavering determination: "Paimon is ultimately different from you."
“Each of you has many reasons for not being able to go together, but Paimon—there is only one reason preventing her from going. Therefore, I believe she should come with us.”
Paimon looked at Nasita with gratitude, and couldn't help but sway his body in mid-air: "Nasita, you are so kind."
[They directly tricked Paimon into believing it was an embryo.]
[After Nasita's series of punches, even a grown man like me would shed tears, let alone Paimon.]
No wonder they call her the god of wisdom—her mastery of the art of language is truly remarkable!
After Nasita's explanation, everyone stopped caring that Paimon had gone along as well.
Elhesen bowed slightly to Nasita: "Since things have come to this, then leave Sumeru to us."
"Wishing Little Lucky Grass King a triumphant return with everyone."
Nasida nodded: "It definitely will."
Elhesen smiled noncommittally, though it looked more like a two-pixel upturn of the corners of his mouth.
Elhesen, Seno, and Dixia turned and left the Pure Good Palace together, leaving the space to Naxida and Ying's group.
Nasita looked at Ying: "Are you ready? If you are, then let's set off."
(Dialogue options from the player's perspective:)
(Option 1: Everything is ready!) — Proceed directly to the next part of the story; the story cannot be interrupted.
(Option 2: Wait for me a little longer.) — The story is interrupted, during which the player can move freely.
"Everything is ready!" Yinghao exclaimed with great enthusiasm.
Naxida nodded and then led the way.
Ying and her group followed closely behind, arriving at an office with Narcida. There, Narcida gave them a device that Caesar had prepared, instructing them to make good use of it in the upcoming battle.
Upon seeing the device's pristine white, round shape, Paimon couldn't help but remark that it overlapped with her intended role.
Iya commented that the cute-looking device should align with her image.
Because she was the one whose initial role overlapped with Paimon's, and based on Iya's own abilities, all of Paimon's functions were actually replaced when she joined.
So now that a new mascot has emerged as a replacement, the one with the same positioning should be Iga.
Paimon retorted, "You weren't saying anything back then!"
Iya crossed his arms and pretended to be deep in thought: "Let me think about it. Besides not being able to speak, what other things could Paimon do that I couldn't do?"
"Oh, not a single one."
Paimon pointed angrily at Iya: "Ugh! You have such a cute face, but what you say is anything but cute. You weren't like this when you were little."
Ying and Naxida watched from the sidelines.
Hearing Paimon's words, Ying suddenly felt something: "Speaking of which, ever since Iya learned to talk, I feel like her personality has become more lively than before~ Is it just my imagination?"
Nasita shook her head: "This is not your imagination. It is a change in personality that a child develops through exposure to what he sees and hears as he grows up."
"The same principle applies to parrots mimicking speech. People in Liyue call this phenomenon 'one is influenced by one's surroundings.'"
Ying nodded thoughtfully.
Then he looked at Paimon: "Paimon, look at you! You're not setting a good example, you're corrupting Iya, don't you know that?"

Paimon pointed at himself: "You mean, Iya became like this?"
(I can't take it anymore, guys. I was planning to finish this before going to sleep, but I didn't take a nap, and now my head is resting on the pillow, I'm so sleepy... I'll go to sleep now, and I'll finish it up to 4000 words later.)
