Chapter 219: Fragments of the Villainous Knight
"Lalala ♪♫♬"
"Building a wall~ Building a wall~"
Outside of Teyvat, Furina hummed a little tune, tirelessly building her wall with a large hammer. Dozens of layers of azure crystal walls exuded a sense of steady, heavy security. If you counted carefully, you would find there were already sixty-six layers of crystal walls. Terrifying defensive power was their most basic effect.
If an external enemy wanted to forcefully break into Teyvat and attacked the crystal wall, it would trigger a counter-shock damage. Not just one layer of counter-shock damage, but the counter-shock damage of sixty-six layers of Preservation crystal walls stacked together. To get in, it was not possible to break the crystal walls one layer at a time; one would need to shatter all the crystal walls at once. It was a stackable effect.
When an Emanator of Preservation fought, although a shield was standard, it was impossible to instantly construct a defense of this level.
CLANG!
CRACK!
Suddenly, a collision that shook the sea of stars rang out. The 66 layers of the Preservation crystal wall trembled, but suffered no damage. In the next second, the sound of something shattering was heard.
Furina blinked in confusion, then unhurriedly made her way around to the other side of Teyvat.
It was a figure that was completely purple and radiating an abyssal aura. Many fragments floated around his body, looking like pieces of armor and weapons.
My name is Surtalogi. You may not recognize me, but you have certainly heard my other title: the Villainous Knight.
It was a title given to him by those who despised him. He came from a line of knights, yet he had betrayed the spirit of chivalry. Today, on a whim, he had prepared to return to his homeland for a look, only to find his path home blocked.
The Villainous Knight was very annoyed. Who was he? A mere eggshell dared to block his path? As long as he wanted to walk, the road was at his feet.
His battle blade struck the Preservation crystal wall heavily. He had imagined it would shatter on contact, but what shattered was his own battle blade. The moment of collision, an incomparable counter-shock damage was transmitted back. It not only shattered his blade but also the armor on his body. Even his kidney stones from many years ago were conveniently cured.
Wait, is this right?
The Villainous Knight fell into deep thought. It seemed he couldn't go home anymore.
"Who are you?"
Furina frowned. Could this be an invader trying to enter Teyvat? She had started building this wall years in advance; she truly was farsighted. It was finally coming in handy.
Go on, say Furina has great insight.
Do not underestimate the bond of my dozens of Preservation crystal walls!
"You built this?" The Villainous Knight's voice was filled with a thick killing intent. Anyone who was about to go home, only to be stopped at their front door and left covered in dust, would be very angry.
"Yes, what about it?" Furina said, her hands on her hips, every posture filled with confidence.
"Very good. Worthy of being killed!"
Clatter!
The fragments gathered, reforming into his armor and battle blade. The tip of the blade pointed at Furina, and a deep, dark power of the Abyss erupted.
Crack, crack—
Fragments of stars were corroded by this power, turning completely to dust and disappearing into the universe.
"After I finished building the fiftieth crystal wall, I happened to obtain a new move. I'll use you to test it out!" Furina said with a confident smile.
Fifty layers?
The Villainous Knight glanced at the wall, feeling completely speechless. Who would be so idle as to build so many walls?
"Resonance of Preservation—Light and Shadow of the Amber King!"
Furina shouted softly, and the boundless power of Preservation within her body erupted.
BOOM—
A rumbling, divine sound roared. An incomparably massive giant of light appeared. Its body seemed to be forged and piled from rock, and a brilliant, molten-gold light bloomed. This was the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, known to all the beings of the Star Rail universe. Although it was only a light-shadow, its massive body already dwarfed Teyvat, possessing a fraction of the Preservation Aeon's divine might.
In truth, this light-shadow was not condensed by Furina, but was an avatar projected by Qlipoth, using its Emanator as a medium. If the Interastral Peace Corporation were to see this scene, their Dao-hearts would probably shatter, and they would scream of injustice. They had sent so much building material, and Qlipoth hadn't even given them a second glance. Their "Gotham" needed them to come back.
"?"
The Villainous Knight looked up, staring at the light-shadow of Qlipoth. A thick aura of death welled up in his heart. It had been many years since he had felt this.
miHoYo, am I going to die? What an annoying aura.
"Eighty—!"
BOOM!
Sensing the aura of the Abyss, Qlipoth's light-shadow moved. The amber-colored giant hammer fell, and the starry sky itself seemed to wail and tremble. Although the descent was slow, the Villainous Knight found that he could not dodge. The surrounding space was extremely solid.
"Aaaaaah!"
I'll bet the name of the Villainous Knight! I cannot lose!
It's just an illusion! What's so great about it?! Get over here!
The Villainous Knight raised his battle blade high and slashed toward Qlipoth's giant hammer, just like Juzo Biwa's sword striking a Tailed Beast Bomb.
CRACK!
The result was an ant trying to shake a great tree. Ridiculous and overconfident. He was directly smashed into hero fragments by Qlipoth's plain and simple hammer strike. The Villainous Knight had thought it was just an ordinary illusion, but in reality, most Emanators would not dare to take this blow head-on.
After swinging the hammer once, Qlipoth glanced at Furina, then at the dozens of crystal walls outside Teyvat, and finally dissipated into the universe.
...Not bad...
[Dian Mei Ruan]: "To be able to summon a light-shadow of the Amber King... it seems the Amber King thinks very highly of you, Furina."
The group members, watching via the live stream, had seen the entire process of the Villainous Knight being hammered into fragments.
[Star Forger]: "The Villainous Knight's strength wasn't weak, but unfortunately, he ran into a deus ex machina from Qlipoth."
He was trying to "return home in glory," but he ran into Furina. He fought with all his might but could not win. Kenji would not sympathize with the Villainous Knight; after all, he was the one who had shown killing intent first.
[Lady Justice]: "That move is so strong! That was my first time using it too."
Furina patted her flat chest. She had been a little shocked herself.
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Compared to Boss Akivili and Aha, Qlipoth is much more god-like."
Also an Aeon... just look at Qlipoth of Preservation. He gives one a sense of security. Stelle looked at the two Aeons kneeling in front of Pom-Pom. Where is your dignity?
[A Mere Mortal]: "A god related to Preservation? Such breathtaking power... it is a level we cannot hope to reach."
[Shizu-cute]: "A slice-of-life world really is safer. We don't have this kind of powerful kami."
Shizuka Hiratsuka was very glad to be living in an ordinary, mundane world. The Self-Destructing Infantry was nothing compared to this.
[Cautious Hero]: "This Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, looks at least more reliable than a goddess like Ristarte."
Seiya rarely spoke up to comment. As the goddess who had summoned him, she was unreliable too many times and often used her exaggerated expressions to launch mental attacks on him.
[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: "His strength is passable, but he's not as good as the Ultraman King."
[Star Forger]: "Hikari, are you even listening to yourself? Is that even a comparison? All the Aeons combined probably couldn't beat the Ultraman King."
