While Lumine used the holy sword to strip away the core, Neuvillette also sensed the All-Devouring Narwhal's weakness.
He then transmitted his voice, telling Lumine to launch an attack at the same time.
With the two of them striking from inside and outside, combined with the continuous extraction of Primordial Sea power, the All-Devouring Narwhal finally let out a long cry toward the sky and could no longer hold on.
Just as Neuvillette was about to completely eliminate the All-Devouring Narwhal, the person who came to steal the fruits of their labor appeared.
The white-haired woman took the lead in collecting the All-Devouring Narwhal and, along with Childe, tossed them both into the portal she had opened.
From outside the players' view, Mu Yang's lips curved slightly. Finally, you're here…
He then altered the position of the portal, linking it to the deep layer of the Primordial Sea where he and Rene were located…
On the players' side, they were still discussing the newly appeared character, with mixed opinions.
The praise was naturally for the beautiful white-haired woman with red pupils.
What they were unhappy about was that the world-ending whale they had built up for most of the chapter, along with the ancient dragon's authority and the holy sword, were handled like picking up and throwing away trash.
If you want to expand the world-building, fine, but don't do this kind of "invincible one second, then an enemy descends from the heavens the next" plot, okay?
Isn't this turning people into clowns?
Moreover, this person's attitude didn't seem to take Lumine and Neuvillette seriously at all.
She spoke to herself, saying this should have been her problem to handle.
It was her own negligence, and she would go back and punish herself by swinging her sword three million times or something…
"Disciple? Master's pet?" Lumine was a bit confused.
However, Skirk did not answer her question.
Neuvillette appeared somewhat cautious. "That power just now — who are you?"
"Uh… I think… from the information he blurted out earlier, he should be Childe's Master… Skirk, right?"
Paimon suddenly became reliable.
"It's just that according to Childe's previous description, she should be someone who speaks very little."
The camera deliberately gave Skirk a low-angle upward shot.
"I simply have nothing to say to the weak. Since you were able to defeat the All-Devouring Narwhal without relying on power from beyond this world…"
"You therefore possess the qualifications to speak with me as equals."
Lumine's attitude toward Skirk was rapidly declining.
The person before her might be very strong, but using the Primordial Sea from another planet to raise a so-called 'pet' — did this mean she didn't take the lives of Fontaine's people, or even Teyvat's people, seriously?
Lumine didn't consider herself someone who refused to kill, but she had never actually attacked an ordinary person without a weapon.
Unfortunately, Skirk really didn't seem to take any of this seriously.
She had gotten the point wrong and kept talking about how unreliable her Master was for actually wanting to raise such a whale.
Lumine forcefully suppressed the urge to go up and hit her, and asked who her Master was.
She only received a name she had never heard before.
Further questioning only revealed that he was on par with [Gold] Rhinedottir.
Then there was nothing more to say.
Dainsleif had mentioned this name before — he was not a good person.
"With that said, you should be able to understand. My Master is also someone who pursues perfection."
[I say, isn't it a bit stupid to expand the world-building here? The All-Devouring Narwhal and the holy sword only looked cool for three seconds?]
[True, there are still two nations and Khaenri'ah left. Did they really have to talk about this here?]
[I also know someone who pursues perfection. He's currently in the Primordial Sea too]
Congratulations to this comment — Mu Yang, carrying his ultimate sword qi, had arrived.
An extremely domineering extreme-cold sword qi flew out from the position where Skirk had opened the portal, tearing apart that section of space.
And at a speed that even Skirk couldn't react to, it cut off several strands of her white hair.
Mu Yang: This is the consequence of trying to steal my white-hair attribute!
Skirk frowned. How could such power exist in this world?
Neuvillette also didn't understand. That was the place where the whale had just been thrown.
Could it be that Skirk's Master was coming?
Only Lumine and Paimon instantly knew whose handiwork it was.
"Mu Yang?! Why is he in this place?!"
Lumine remained relatively calm. "It should be something from the Narzissenkreuz Ordo side…"
She raised the holy sword in her hand.
If not for Mu Yang, they might still have no good solution for dealing with the whale right now.
"Mu Yang?" This time it was Skirk who was stunned.
Before she could even ask, Childe and the All-Devouring Narwhal were thrown out again…
[Childe: ??? I worked hard for an entire version, and this is how you treat me?]
[Ah minos! Ten thousand alpacas ran through Childe's heart]
Following closely behind were Mu Yang and the Master…
However, Mu Yang clearly had no intention of paying attention to Childe or the All-Devouring Narwhal.
He was fully focused on battling Narzissenkreuz.
With Mu Yang continuously feeding him moves, and the Master's comprehension ability being shaped by water.
The Master had now become someone who could exchange blows with Mu Yang in swordsmanship.
Being interrupted by thrown objects at this moment made Mu Yang truly displeased.
Of course, this was only his explanation to Lumine — that is, the players.
His real goal was to slap Skirk in the face and steal her show-off scenes.
All the popularity belongs to me, mine!
[The two plot lines have finally connected]
[Both big shots have fought their way here]
[Mu Yang still looks cooler]
[But Skirk is wearing stockings]
[You brat!]
At this moment, the Master was engaged in an intense battle with Mu Yang using the great Withering Glory. Everyone below was dumbfounded.
We fought the whale and it didn't even make this much noise.
However, as the whale was beaten flat, the Primordial Sea water began to return.
The Master's power was constantly growing…
But because the whale had been packaged away, he still didn't know that the world-ending whale in his calculations had already been defeated.
Instead, his gaze turned toward the holy sword in Lumine's hand.
"Ah… the Holy Sword of [Rationality] has finally, finally come to its owner's side."
At this moment, in the Master's view, everyone had become an obstacle to his salvation of the world.
Since Mu Yang had said that the person holding the sword was his companion.
Then these people must also be hounds of the gears.
They were the successors of Alain's group.
They were stumbling blocks for him, Rene!
He frantically absorbed Primordial Sea water and launched an attack toward Skirk, who was closest to him.
Originally, Skirk looked down on it — enormous power inevitably came with slowness.
However, she was wrong. Mu Yang's sword was famous for its speed.
The Master's sword nearly severed Skirk's arm…
[What 12+ combat]
[Battle-damaged version! It's the battle-damaged version!]
[I still prefer the way you looked earlier when you were unruly and unrestrained. Recover that a bit]
Lumine told Paimon to hide farther away. While assuming a combat stance herself, she reminded Neuvillette to be careful.
Neuvillette discovered that he could no longer fully suppress the Primordial Sea here.
The consciousness existing here was extremely firm.
Moreover, there was that terrifying sword technique.
"Could it be that the person before us is the true culprit behind Fontaine's destruction?"
Lumine paused for a moment. "Uh… you might not believe it if I say it, but the thing he wants to do most…"
"Is to save Fontaine — and even all of Teyvat — from destruction…"
