"He lifted it?"
Jahoda's entire being turned monochrome when she saw Orion lift Azhdaha.
Yelan shook her head. This child from the Nefer family was truly too naive, not at all like an intelligence operative. But then she heard Jahoda shyly add the second half of her sentence: "Then if he grabs me, won't I be unable to escape even if I wanted to?"
Yelan: What are you talking about???
Is the little girl from the Nefer family that repressed?
At the same moment, the rest of the Millelith and WangSheng Funeral Parlor members, who had been watching, erupted into astonishing cheers after a moment of daze.
"Holy cow, Big Bro is awesome!"
"You're amazing, my brother! Wait a minute. Isn't this that foreign magus who helped our Millelith a few weeks ago?"
"May the Geo Archon bless us, may the Geo Archon bless us!"
"Damn it, I told my lover that we'd get married when I got back, and I almost thought I wouldn't make it!"
Orion: Heh, the flags I don't like, I'll just pull them out!
At the very front, even Hu Tao and Keqing, who knew Orion was very strong, couldn't help but be stunned. The visual impact of that scene was no less than someone lifting a mountain and throwing it away.
Looking back at Orion, Azhdaha's vision cleared up considerably after that fall, clearly indicating that much of his corroded sanity had returned.
But the return of sanity also meant that, compared to the previous Dragon King who only knew how to use brute force, the current Dragon King now possessed the ability to wield Elemental Power!
The Dragon King shook his body, his massive dragon form rising to its feet, like a living mountain before Orion.
He opened his bloody maw in a roar, but what emerged was not a shout, but a highly compressed Pyro Elemental Power!
The high temperature almost melted the earth and made the atmosphere boil! A blazing Pyro element sphere formed instantly, and the high temperature was about to shoot towards Orion!
But at this moment, Orion's voice softly echoed: "Your head is too high, I can't reach it."
An extremely terrifying gravitational force appeared directly beneath Azhdaha's head. The enormous gravitational pull instantly put immense pressure on Azhdaha's neck. His dragon head and horns carried significant weight, and normally, thanks to his short neck and abundant neck muscles, there was no problem.
However, under Orion's nearly hundredfold gravitational restraint, his cervical tendons almost instantly snapped. His massive dragon head slammed heavily to the ground, and the flames in his mouth simultaneously backfired.
The intense pain made Azhdaha whimper from deep within his throat. By the time he opened his eyes, Orion had already appeared directly in front of his head.
"Thanks for lowering your head. Now I can hit it. You're a really good dragon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Orion threw a heavy punch! This punch, carrying Orion's control over gravity, landed squarely on Azhdaha's face, and his mountain-like body was actually completely flipped over by this single punch!
Azhdaha's spike-like rock ridges on his back slammed into Mt. Hulao. The hardness of these rock ridges was far greater than that of the mountain rock. Azhdaha's massive body was actually pinned to the wall as the rock ridges pierced into the mountain, causing his entire body to stand upright, his white belly swaying and exposed to everyone.
Orion waved his hand, and fifty small wolves formed from anemo element rushed out. This was the power he learned after absorbing Andrius's strength and defeating Dvalin.
The fifty small wolves, at Orion's command, all charged towards Azhdaha. They bit onto different parts of Azhdaha's body like leeches, and black energy was continuously sucked out by the wolf pack, gradually staining their cyan bodies black.
Each time a wolf was stained pure black, it would run back and return to Orion's body.
Inside the shield, Yelan immediately saw the crux of the matter: "Is he using an Elemental Skill to absorb the pollution within that giant dragon and then integrate it into his own body?"
"What?!" The black parts of Jahoda's body were almost scared white. One had to know that Orion's'small wolves' were only small in comparison to his own giant wolf form; in reality, each of these wolves was over two meters tall.
The amount of pollution such a wolf could contain was considerable. Was pollution of this magnitude really going to be contained within a human body?
"Isn't there a more peaceful way?" Keqing asked Zhongli, who clearly knew a lot. She didn't want Orion to be in danger because of Liyue's affairs.
Zhongli shook his head: "No, but you needn't worry. Orion has a high tolerance for this kind of power. Speaking of which, Yuheng and this...
"My name is Yelan."
Yes, and Miss Yelan here are both high-ranking individuals. You must have heard about the battle between the giant wolf and Stormterror in Mondstadt, right? That giant wolf was Orion's... er, his curse manifesting and transforming him. He absorbed all the pollution from Stormterror at that time too.
"So that rumor was actually true..." Yelan fell into deep thought.
Hu Tao, on the other hand, looked at Orion thoughtfully: "I feel like Orion still seems quite composed and at ease. With his power just now, couldn't he have caused more DMG to the giant dragon before absorbing the pollution?"
Zhongli didn't answer this time. Orion was acting this way because Zhongli had just contacted him using the [Sympathy Art], which could also be called divine sense transmission.
Zhongli's meaning was, on the one hand, Azhdaha was an old comrade after all, so don't really treat him as a monster to be dealt with. On the other hand, Zhongli was genuinely afraid that Orion, Alice's nominal son, would really move mountains and fill seas, creating land in Liyue as he intended.
Liyue is only so big; it can't withstand such construction!
On the other side, Orion, who received Zhongli's message, also planned to end the battle quickly, but he soon realized something was wrong.
If Azhdaha's sanity were represented by a progress bar, then a normal Azhdaha would be at the far left of the bar. He wouldn't have the Abyssal Power bonus, but he would possess wisdom and could skillfully utilize his strength.
The previously corrupted Azhdaha, on the other hand, was at the far right, possessing explosive power enhancements but having lost his sanity and unable to unleash his full potential.
However, as Orion continuously absorbed the Abyssal Power, the current Azhdaha gradually approached the exact center of the progress bar.
As golden light erupted around Azhdaha, a fully powered Dragon King, possessing wisdom, but with twisted thoughts and power, was personally brought to this battlefield by Orion!
The golden light of the Geo element burst forth, and the fifty wolves on Azhdaha's body were instantly blown away!
And that light continued to grow stronger, seemingly deliberately trying to blind everyone.
Suddenly, the dazzling light vanished in an instant. Azhdaha's massive body had landed on the ground, and a brilliant golden breath instantly erupted! A colossal beam, over fifty meters in diameter, annihilated everything it touched!
[Roar of the Chasm]
The light shot straight towards Orion, plowing a trench more than ten meters deep into the earth with this single strike!
That was the Geo Elemental Power condensed to its extreme by Azhdaha using the ancient dragon's authority. What it contained was not power, but mass! Within that beam, the density of the Geo element per cubic centimeter was fifty times that of basalt!
Even with such high-density Geo element, which almost trampled Teyvat's physical rules, it still formed a fifty-meter-diameter torrent while continuously spraying!
This strike meant instant death upon contact!
But to Orion, it didn't seem that dangerous.
"Oh? You want to compare physics with me? Don't bother bringing out your density if it's not even as dense as a white dwarf." With a wave of his hand, a massive cyan barrier appeared in front of him.
"For friction physics, you've got to talk to me, the Herrscher of Wind! And my [Ideal Fluid] with zero friction and zero inertia!"
The golden light made contact with the cyan shield, and not a single bit of resistance occurred; not even a tiny explosion appeared.
The golden light beam was actually smoothly split apart by the fluid shield!
That shield was like a mirror with absolute refractive ability, dividing Azhdaha's breath into more than a dozen beams, deflecting them in different directions!
One beam sliced through the clouds, the dense dark clouds split in two by the golden light, and eerie golden starlight silently drifted down from the clouds' wound.
One beam smoothly cut Mt. Hulao. The hundreds of meters tall mountain was simply cut in half at its waist. It tilted and slid towards another nearby peak, eventually forming a slanted triangular support.
Countless beams swept in all directions like a wheel, and a great many mountains were reduced to nothing with this single blow.
After the light subsided, the people protected by the shield opened their eyes and looked around, but they could no longer recognize the place.
Liyue's beautiful landscape had been carved into geometric shapes of varying sizes by this single attack. The mountains, vegetation, and even the ground beneath their feet were unrecognizable from their original forms.
Seeing this scene, Zhongli sighed heavily once again.
He still couldn't avoid the earth being moved in Liyue after all!
