Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

"I believe Master will succeed. It's just that the Star-Devouring Whale hasn't absorbed enough of the Fetal Water yet. Its power will only reach its peak after it has swallowed all the Fengdan people."

"Alright then, leave that guy to me, you and your apprentice handle the rest."

With that, Reil gripped his scythe and charged at Rikuo.

The only one here qualified to fight Lu Sheng is him.

Meanwhile, Navelette, Rosalind, and Clarinde also fought with Skork and Dadtalia.

Funina could only watch helplessly, unable to offer any assistance.

But she keenly noticed the changes taking place in Fontaine.

The sea level is rising continuously, and many low-lying areas have already been submerged. Moreover, more and more abyssal monsters are appearing in the city, and Fontaine's defenses are as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of these monsters.

She could almost hear Fontaine crying.

"Fukaros...can you hear me? Please save Fontaine! I pray for you!"

At this moment, at the border between Fontainebleau and Mount Sumeru.

The Imperial Guards stationed here, having received orders, were discussing the horrific scene unfolding before them.

The entire Fontaine was blocked by a huge white wall, from which a terrifying aura emanated from time to time.

The veterans were all familiar with it; it was the aura of the abyss.

There is no doubt that Fontaine is being heavily invaded by the Abyss.

The Great Sage and Commander of the Royal Guard, Elhesen, opened his eyes from meditation and said to Seno, "I think I heard the Mushroom King's call, urging us to march on Fontaine."

“I heard that too.” Sino hesitated. “But is it really a good idea? Sending troops directly without contacting the Fontaine government would be considered an invasion.”

"Given the current situation, the Fontainebleau government probably won't care about this issue."

"What should we do?"

"Dry."

At Elhesen's command, the fully armed Imperial Guard marched toward Fontaine.

The armored legion crossed the sea by boat and arrived at the white bone wall, where they found themselves in a stalemate.

This strange substance from the abyss is incredibly hard; even artillery shells cannot penetrate it.

If a breach cannot be created, the legion will be trapped outside and anxiously waiting.

"Make way! I'll handle this!"

Just as Elhesen and Seno were struggling with their dilemma, a reassuring voice came from within the legion.

Apep descended from the sky and ordered everyone to disperse.

Then it revealed its true dragon form, and with a burst of dragon breath, it struck the white bone wall, instantly creating a large hole in it.

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 177: Fukalos, come out!

As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, a series of rhythmic, muffled footsteps echoed from the gaping hole.

The followers of the Abyss Order and the Abyss monsters all looked curiously towards the cave entrance.

Rows of steel giants, each over two meters tall, holding flamethrowers, slowly advanced like fortresses.

That is the latest technology of the Sumeru Order Academy, a series of powered armor that can maximize the combat capabilities of individual soldiers.

During Lu Sheng's absence, Victor was not idle at all. He deduced many theories from the previous blueprints and applied them all to the new experimental subjects.

All sorts of new weapons were created.

The Sumeru army is now able to use overwhelming firepower to strike the enemy.

Furthermore, with the help of Shenji Bailian, Xumi's robot technology has also made rapid progress, and gadgets for use on the battlefield, such as unmanned birds and self-destructing dogs, have been invented.

The people of Sumeru no longer need to fear the threat of the abyss.

This war was the best stage for Sumeru to demonstrate its military strength to the world.

The vanguard, clad in power armor, advanced with a savage force. Their armor was powered by elemental forces, capable of generating several tons of force. It was also resistant to cold and heat and could be used in water combat. Apart from not being able to fly and being somewhat cumbersome, it was almost impossible to find any flaws in it.

Those monsters from the abyss charged at the power armor like reckless fools, only to be either burned to ashes by flames, smashed to pieces by a punch, or trampled into mincemeat by a stomp.

Following behind the powered armored units were the motorized units.

They rode in troop transport vehicles converted from the Ox and Horse, rushed into Fontainebleau, and quickly dispersed in a forked pattern to cooperate with armored soldiers in occupying various areas.

The last infantry legion to enter was also fully armed and was responsible for clearing out the occupied areas, thereby achieving complete control.

Relying on advanced equipment, the Sumeru Legion swept through the land, occupying large areas and rescuing all the besieged Fontaines.

Dragon King Apep didn't care about this at all. After helping the Sumeru Legion break through the bone wall, she sensed Lu Sheng's aura and headed straight for Fontaine.

At this moment, the Mo Mang Palace is almost unrecognizable from its original state.

The aftershocks of the battle between Rikuo and Rael were so intense that wherever the two went, the surrounding area would be reduced to ruins.

After gaining Arecino's power, Rael's strength increased significantly, making him far more formidable than during their first encounter.

During the fight, Lu Sheng suddenly sensed Apep's call.

She finally arrived.

Lu Sheng then deliberately stayed within Raelil's attack range, placing himself in a very dangerous position.

Rael fell for the trap as expected, instantly appearing and sweeping his scythe across half the airspace.

But what he killed was just a fake clone.

The next second, a powerful dragon breath slammed into Rayleigh's face.

He fell from the sky, looking utterly pathetic.

The sudden appearance of Appepp completely reversed the situation.

The First Dragon King's aura was terrifying; she was enough to make all elemental creatures tremble with fear simply by standing there.

The most primal dragon bloodline is incomparable to that of the new generation of dragons like Navelette.

Apep has been recuperating in Sumeru for a long time, and his strength has now almost returned to its peak.

Wherever she appears, even if the ground is full of rocks, green grass and flowers can grow from them.

Even Vilette couldn't help but bow her head under the pressure of her bloodline.

Since his birth, the blood in his body has never boiled like it does today.

Is this the bond between dragons?

"Are you... the Grass Dragon King?"

Navilette asked humbly.

“Yes, my name is Apep, one of the original seven dragon kings, Navelette. In my previous life, we were close friends.”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my kin. I have many questions I'd like to ask you about the original seven dragon kings, my past life, and the decline of the dragon race."

Apep responded calmly, "I will answer all your questions, but not now. Right now, we should be fighting together against the invasion of the abyss."

"Apep, forget about the grudges and feuds between the dragons for now. You hold off that stupid dog with the scythe for me. I have important things to do."

"You... after all this time, the first thing you say to me is to boss me around." Apep glared at Lu Sheng with a complicated expression.

"Haha, let's save the sentimental stuff for the happy ending. I'm so glad you made it in time, Appepp. Seeing you is like a student who's about to finish an exam and is still racking their brains for answers, suddenly receiving a note from the student behind them—it's such a relief! Okay, this is yours now~"

Before Lu Sheng could finish speaking, he had already appeared in front of Fu Ningna.

He took Funina's hand gently and said, "Come with me."

"Stop him! Don't let him ruin Master's plan!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Skirk immediately shouted at Raelil.

Rael twisted his stiff neck and cursed, "Easy for you to say, you weren't the one who got hit by the dragon's breath!"

His mask was damaged by the dragon's breath, revealing a fair face with bloodthirsty madness between his brows.

His assessment of the situation far surpassed that of Silky, and in this current state, they could no longer stop Lu Sheng from doing what he was about to do.

Appepp's arrival completely turned the tide.

All Rayleigh can do now is help Surtroch hold back the people here.

As for Lu Sheng, he couldn't control him anyway, so he let Surtroch have his own headache.

Lu Sheng grabbed Fu Ningna, transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot, heading straight for the courtroom.

The water level in Fontainebleau continues to rise.

A long, ethereal sound pierced the sky.

A colossal black shadow suddenly appeared in the enormous rift of the abyss.

It was a huge creature that resembled a whale.

It has no water, but it can fly freely in the air.

The Star-Devouring Whale has finally appeared.

Hungry and attracted by the smell of food, it swam towards the place where the Fontaine people were gathered, its huge tail thrashing about.

It opened its massive maw, ignoring the desperate screams of the Fontaines, and swallowed hundreds and thousands of Fontaines in one gulp.

Cuckoo, cuckoo—

The whale made a series of strange sounds, as if it were happy to be enjoying its meal.

However, such a small amount of Fontainebleau people is just an appetizer for it.

Its ultimate goal is to devour all the people of Fontainebleau.

Funina witnessed it all, and tears streamed down her face.

She almost pleaded, choking back tears, "Sherlock! Please, save those people! They are all my people!"

Lu Sheng tightened his grip on her hand and comforted her, "We are saving Fontaine."

They finally arrived at the courtroom.
