Cross through Teyvat, and you'll become stronger by taking the hits!

Mavica and Capitano tried to stop Lu Li from reciting the events of the past.

However, while Abyssal Erosion Syndrome can cause hallucinations and even madness, it does not weaken people; on the contrary, it can make them more aggressive.

Therefore, they fought with him in the air, but could not defeat Lu Li until the recitation of the past events of the sun and moon was finished.

"it's useless……"

"I blocked this information in the Kingdom of Night..."

"Wake up... Lu Li..."

The voice of the Night God rang in Lu Li's ears, trying to wake him up.

However, to Lu Li's ears, it sounded like the annoying whispers of the abyss...

"Nata's disaster is inevitable; the harder you suppress it, the more fiercely fate will rebound..."

"Gustott cannot destroy Nata, but you can..."

"And the power that saved Nata... will surely pay the price with its life..."

"From the moment you accepted your Nibelungen identity, you also accepted the arrangements of fate... The dark dragon descended upon Nata... awakened the fire dragon... and ultimately shattered the earth... recreating the battle at the beginning of creation..."

The voice of the abyss kept whispering in his ears, and Lu Li felt a splitting headache. All that remained in his mind was anger towards the monsters of the abyss.

Finally, with a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, he transformed into a colossal black dragon that blotted out the sky, its wings casting shadow over the entire Land of Ten Thousand Fires.

[Dragon Descends: LV3]

Transforms into a colossal black dragon, terrifying all surrounding units, and then dramatically increases all base stats.

Being attacked will accumulate rage, and the rage value will further enhance the strengthening effect.

In addition, all the skills the host possesses will acquire corresponding new forms in the Dragon state to prevent them from becoming unusable.

Upgrade condition: There is a small chance of upgrading when absorbing the power of the abyss.

Following that were the deep blue judgment nails in the sky.

The pale blue light, upon its appearance, slightly suppressed the abyss within Lu Li, allowing him to regain consciousness for a brief moment.

As he watched the falling sky nails, Lu Li, who had just briefly regained his senses and was still unaware of what had happened, had only one thought in his mind.

We must stop the sky nails from falling...!

As this thought arose, the dark power reactivated, and the golden pupils turned dark red.

Then the dragon flapped its wings, stirring up a whirlwind that nearly destroyed the Holy Flame Arena, and charged towards the Heavenly Nail.

The Heavenly Nail is enormous to ordinary people, but to the colossal black dragon that blots out the sky, it is like comparing an ordinary person to a chopstick.

The jet-black dragon stretched out its claws and fangs, attempting to intercept the celestial nail.

But when its giant claws touched the celestial nail, a deep blue light instantly burst forth.

In the sky above Nata, the clouds that Lu Li had just cleared yesterday had only recovered a little today, but the dark blue impact once again dispersed them.

The jet-black dragon was thrown back by the azure impact and fell toward the ground, but it did not appear to be injured. Instead, its jet-black claws returned to their pure white color.

But the Heavenly Nails did not stop; they continued to fall towards the dragon.

Stop it...

The dragon, writhing in agony, struggled desperately, its mind completely clouded, with only one thought remaining: to stop the Heavenly Nails.

But precisely because it has fallen into madness, it doesn't even know which of its abilities could stop it...

"roar!"

With a roar that echoed throughout Nata, flames erupted from the dragon's claws.

Yesterday, the Sun Sword and the Black Sword, which were abandoned by the Lord of the Corrupting Flame, slowly rose from the land of Nata and fell into the hands of the Black Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon flapped its wings, and the tips of its wings unleashed a blade-like black power that easily sliced ​​through the Nata land surrounding the Oasis of Ten Thousand Fires.

Then, the pure liquid phlogiston, a magma-like energy, was extracted from the earth's depths, compressed from the ocean into rivers and streams, and finally gathered and solidified in the dragon's claws, transforming together with the sun and the black sword into a massive, obsidian-like, black-red magic sword.

At the same time, golden flames, resembling primordial fire, ignited on the sword.

[Twilight (Dragon Compatible Version): LV1]

Summon the world-burning demonic sword "Levantin" to immediately restore all health. Afterward, the dragon's attack power is increased by 330% and its maximum health is increased by 200%.

The duration is unlimited, but it reduces maximum health by 1% per second. The amount of health lost per second increases by 1% compared to the amount lost in the previous second, with a maximum of 20% of maximum health.

Every second, your attack power will increase by 1% of the attack power value from the previous second.

This skill cannot be canceled or deactivated. Once deactivated, it will be forcibly reactivated with the values ​​before deactivation until death.

Upgrade condition: Upgrade after each death.

"Light of the abyss, burning away day and night...!"

With a roar, the demonic sword that could burn the world was unleashed, colliding with the azure crystal nail.

In an instant, the whole world was reduced to a dazzling white, and the buzzing in my ears.

Apart from that, everyone in the Olympic Arena could neither see nor hear anything.

Even after the light faded, the demonic sword that had consumed the world was still burning in the air, igniting even the black dragon and the air around it.

The eerie blue light on the celestial nail receded, no longer able to lock onto the pitch-black dragon, but it still slowly fell towards the ground to one side.

"Thanks……"

Amidst the flames, the abyss that had originally been coiled on Nata's body was suppressed by the power released by the Heavenly Nail. Upon regaining consciousness, Lu Li subconsciously thanked Sky Island.

Then, the dragon's enormous body gradually dissipated, and the demonic sword that burned the world was released from its grasp, crashing to the ground along with the celestial nail.

The exhausted Heavenly Nail did not cause a disaster, but its weight created a large crater in it, and the Demon Sword fell into the ground along with it.

All that remained was Lu Li, who had transformed back into human form, and the dragon's wings and tail, which continued to burn with golden flames.

Without hesitation, Lu Li descended from the sky, and a warm monsoon instantly enveloped an area with a radius of over one hundred kilometers centered on the Wanhuozhi Ou.

In the clash between the Demon Sword and the Heavenly Nail, almost all the ordinary people in the Holy Flame Arena had their eardrums shattered, and they are only recovering quickly under this warm monsoon.

Then Lu Li landed in front of Ying.

"Dragon King, are you alright?"

During the recent impact, he used an elemental barrier to protect the Sacred Flame Arena. After Lu Li landed, Apep immediately asked him questions.

"I'm fine. It's all thanks to the power of the Heavenly Nail that the Abyss has been temporarily suppressed."

Lu Li shook his head, gave an explanation, and then looked at Ying.

"Traveler, take this gourd. After all, the thing in your Dust Song Pot still needs it."

Then, Lu Li took out the gourd that the Dragon Girl with the medicine in her mouth had given her and put it in Ying's hand.

"Yes, but your wings are on fire..."

Ying took the gourd and then pointed to the golden flames on Lu Li's wings behind him as a reminder.

"Don't worry, this is Nata's source fire, something on the same level as the primordial womb sea."

"Although the Fire Dragon King has not yet regained control of the Origin Fire, I can still use a little of it."

Lu Li waved his hand to explain, then turned to look at Mavica and Capitano, who were also falling from the sky.

After failing to stop Lu Li, they could only take on the responsibility of maintaining the safety of the Olympic Arena and working with Apep to try their best to withstand the aftershocks in the air.

"Captain, I know another reason you came to Nata. Now that the Kingdom of Night God has basically recovered and the danger of the Abyss is gone, the power of Night God has also fully recovered. At this time, it is not impossible for her to change the rules of the ley lines and, with the help of some rituals, allow the Kingdom of Night God to accommodate souls that do not belong to Nata."

Lu Li explained to Capitano.

He knew about Capitano's situation; his heart was a modified version of the Canria's technology, capable of transforming memories and souls from the ley lines into knowledge.

Five hundred years ago, before he was given the name "Capitano", he was Serene, who was named "Knight of the Heavenly Pillar" by Kanria. However, he failed to save his homeland. After the monsters ran rampant and completely spiraled out of control, he led his remaining subordinates in a fighting retreat, eventually arriving in Nata.

He witnessed the Nata people's brutal war against the Abyss five hundred years ago, so he stayed behind with his men to help the Nata.

However, due to the severe damage to the ley lines, neither his subordinates nor the warriors of Nata were able to return to the ley lines. Therefore, Capitano abandoned the learning function of this heart and used it as a container to hold the souls of the warriors.

He had visited six countries, trying to give these souls a place to rest, but without exception he failed. Souls that could not return to the ley lines for a long time found it difficult to return.

Ultimately, he turned his attention back to Nata. If he could save Nata and reshape the rules of the ley lines, his soul could return to the ley lines.

Now that things have come to this, given his help to Nata, and the fact that these souls already contain the souls of Nata warriors, the God of Night and the God of Fire would probably not refuse this.

"Yes, on behalf of all the soldiers, I pay you my highest respects."

Capitano raised one hand and placed it on his chest.

"Um, Mavica... well, may I borrow your bicycle for a ride?"

Lu Li realized that he didn't seem to have much to say to Mavica, so he asked her this question.

"Of course, no problem. How about I have Xinoning build one for you too, so we can race together later?"

Mavica was surprised that Lu Li brought up the Chilun chariot, but she agreed without hesitation.

"Appepp, you... maybe you should cook less in the future, lest you poison my little Chang'e..."

After Mavica agreed, Lu Li looked at Apep and hesitated for a moment before finally saying what he had said.

"..."

"ah……!"

Apep unconsciously tightened his grip on Noxin, making the dog in his arms yelp.

"By the way, where's Paimon?"

Lu Li looked at Ying again, but found that he did not see Paimon.

"She... just fainted, and she hasn't woken up yet."

Ying raised her finger and pointed to the room whose roof had been destroyed by Lu Li.

Paimon was spun around and blown away at the beginning, and immediately lost consciousness.

"All right……"

Lu Li nodded, then looked at Sitrus next to Ying.

"Sethralli, this is a light novel I bought a while ago. I'll never have a chance to read it again, and it'll just rot if I leave it for too long..."

"Grandson, I'll tell you a secret: if you survive after eating Apep's food, she'll be willing to take you as her apprentice..."

"Nuoxin, you must grow up well. There is a part of the source fire on the demon sword I just gave away. Once you can master it, you will be the new Dragon King."

"Ugh...?"

As if giving his last instructions, Lu Li spoke to each person individually.

At first, everyone thought he was joking, but the atmosphere quickly became serious.

"Hey, Lu Li, are you... trying to liven things up because Paimon isn't here, right?"

Just as Lu Li walked up to Chaska, Ying couldn't help but come forward and tug at Lu Li's sleeve to stop him.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, Traveler, you're Paimon's guardian, so here you go."

Lu Li suddenly realized what was going on, stepped forward, took out a heavy box, and handed it to Ying.

"What is this...? What are you doing to me?"

Even with Ying's strength, it felt very heavy, so she had to put the box on the ground temporarily.

"This is the only 276,420,300 Mora I have left, all of which were left over from the last sale of antiques."

"You've spent a lot of money raising your Paimon, so you can keep it. I don't need it anymore anyway."

Lu Li gave a definitive explanation.

"..."

"???"

"You're kidding... right?"

Ying's expression changed instantly.

"Haha, of course, just to liven things up."

"We finally managed to take down the Abyss and the Sky Nails, shouldn't we start celebrating now?"

Lu Li nodded with a smile, but the flames behind him burned brighter and brighter, spreading from his wings and tail to his body.

He had already calculated that his healing effect could not reach 20% of his maximum health per second, and even if he used "Glory Belongs to Caesar" to stack the healing effect of the Snowfield Survival Law, it would not be enough to offset it.

To perpetuate the twilight, he could only think of two methods. One was to perpetuate the revival monsoon, using high amounts of health regeneration to maintain life points, but Lu Li would become a talking vegetable, unable to move freely.

The other option is to continue using the Qiong Guan Zhen formation to cover the entire Nata. As long as someone is injured, Lu Li can keep healing himself by relying on the "Life Rest" effect.

But it will never get hurt, grow old, or get sick, which will cause unimaginable changes to Nata.

Moreover, Lu Li didn't want all the Nata people to become his blood bags.

"Stop lying! Columbia is still waiting for you!"

Ying immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Li's wrist.

The golden flames then spread to Ying's hand, causing her arm to tremble in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and did not let go.

"Little pigeon..."

"Traveler, could you please pass on a message to Nodcale? Tell the little pigeon that I might have to break my promise..."

Upon hearing Ying's words, Lu Li, who was about to pull his arm back, stopped.

"Go and tell them yourself!"

"Water flow!"

Ying gripped Lu Li's hand tightly and gave a soft shout. The water elemental power under Feng Dan's control was instantly unleashed, transforming into a stream of water that wrapped around Lu Li's body.

But as soon as it was touched, a hissing sound was heard and a cloud of white steam rose up, while the golden flames on Lu Li's body showed no signs of weakening.

As Ying made her move, the others around her immediately followed suit.

Mavica attempted to control the flames on Lu Li's body using the power of the fire god.

However, the flames did not respond to this at all...

Capitano and Sitrali attempted to suppress the flames on Lu Li's body with ice elemental power, but the effect was similar to that of Ying, with little success.

"Hold it for me, don't let it move around."

"...Let me do it."

Seeing this, Appepp's eyes hardened. He handed the Noxin in his arms to Chaska, who was standing nearby, and then stepped forward.

As Apep spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and green life force pierced through the flames and landed on Lu Li.

As the Primal Grass Elemental Dragon Lord who has survived since ancient times, her life force is so powerful that, apart from the Primal Womb, it is difficult to find anything in the entire Teyvat that can compare to her.

Therefore, she wanted to share their life force so that she could take the damage from the golden flames for Lu Li.

"..."

With the establishment of the life force sharing, the golden flames on Lu Li's body were slightly suppressed.

But Appepp's face suddenly turned pale.

She felt as if one-fifth of her life force had evaporated in a very short time...

Although it suddenly recovered to almost one-fifth in the next second.

But after all this back and forth, its actual vitality is ultimately reduced.

"It's useless. If it's percentage-based health reduction, the higher your maximum health, the more health you'll lose..."

Lu Li shook his head and raised his hand to grasp the life force channel connected to his chest.

"No... Dragon King..."

"I've eked out a living until now, all while waiting for you..."

Seeing Lu Li's actions, Apep tried to stop him.

However, Lu Li, relying on his control over the grass elemental power, severed the life channel in one fell swoop.

As the passage broke, the overflowing life force instantly spread out from the Sacred Flame Arena. The Wanhuo Garden, which had been almost barren due to the previous disaster, transformed into a lush green landscape at a visible speed.

"I can die, but I can't let you die with me..."

"Please take good care of Little Chang'e and Nuoxin for me..."

The golden flames continued to burn, completely engulfing Lu Li's body. Ying, Sitrali, and Capitano continued to try to activate their elemental power, but to no avail.

until……

Snapped--

A crisp shattering sound rang out, and the passive skill of the Famous Blade Master was triggered.

But this also means that Lu Li's health points have reached their limit.

As the duration of absolute immunity ended, the flames completely engulfed Lu Li's body, and his form slowly dissipated within the flames.

The flames then died down, leaving only Lu Li's clothes, a God's Eye, a shattered ice-attribute evil eye, a jade pendant, and white ashes on the ground.

……
