Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

but...

Her gaze instantly sharpened, forcefully penetrating the brains of all the slices and the original body before her, her eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

"I must take care of you."

"Sigh... Being isolated and helpless is always a sad thing... But I don't experience that!"

Dotole and his slices instantly surrounded the two, launching a barrage of attacks.

Green palaces replaced the ravaged land and enveloped the entire Papal Palace.

-

Below, Qin Ye stood up from the dust, performed several backflips to create distance between himself and the person in front of him, and the light repaired the parts of the Jade Shield that were constantly being eroded by the power of the abyss, but his gaze remained solemn.

"I never expected to see you here, my son."

The body shrouded in thick black fog on the other side roared angrily: "Imposter, stop your arrogance!"

A shadow shot out, black mist transforming into a tail fin. In the blink of an eye, the Abyss King arrived in front of Qin Ye and slammed down with a punch.

"Trying to use fancy, literary language? Normal people don't talk like that, let alone me?"

Qin Ye knew that the other party still harbored some inferiority complex and had a rather bad temper, so he took the initiative to launch a trash talk attack.

"Have you truly integrated the memories in your mind? Is it because you haven't been able to break through my abilities for five hundred years?"

This statement played right into the Abyss King's hands. A towering black mist rose up, engulfing all the surrounding buildings and plunging the lower part of Sumeru City into complete darkness.

The Abyss King originally intended to wear down the stone with time. Although the imposter's ability countered him, since he was the real one, it wouldn't be surprising if he could wear down the countering ability with time.

Unfortunately, both Columbia and the Rock King were traitors who bestowed the power of light upon this despicable alchemical puppet, causing his century-long resistance to fail. It was truly hateful!

But the next second, a blinding light pierced through the black mist, and Qin Ye's body slowly rose up, with a golden halo appearing behind him. Unlike Li Yue, he could not receive much human power at this time, so the halo was much dimmer than before.

But that's enough.

Purple lightning crackled across the lightsaber as it hurtled toward the Abyss King's throat.

The opponent was equally unwilling to admit defeat, and immediately grabbed the incoming sword blade. The black mist on his hand was partially dispelled by the light, revealing his somewhat withered and cracked palm.

"Roar!"

While the two sides were evenly matched, the opponent's strength was restrained, and the two suffered a slight loss for a time.

But facing this puppet that had only been around for twenty years, he was still filled with rage, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Do you need my help?"

The woman's teasing voice rang out, and the clash between Qin Ye and the Abyss King finally stopped, with both of them retreating.

“Skirk...you bastard, just watch from the sidelines. Even if you join in, you won’t be able to take him down anytime soon.”

It's not without reason that he's the king of the abyss; at least in terms of strength, he's truly top-notch. Even if he's countered, he's confident he can capture his opponent. Sending a second person would only be a hindrance.

"The Little Grass King has incorporated this place into his dream, but you and that kid opposite you both entered in your true forms. Although the Grass God has only been reborn for five hundred years, you should know that if you lose... you might never be able to get out, right?"

The two of them were originally only capable of absorbing and being absorbed, but now, under the omnipotence of the Little Grass God, it's even more like a life-or-death arena.

The winner takes all, the loser loses everything.

"..."

The King of the Abyss remained silent for a long time before nodding resignedly.

The most important thing is to prove that you are the real Qin Ye and win this fateful battle.

"A good choice..."

Rock pillars pierced the ground and rose continuously, surrounding the area. Qin Ye arrived with his sword, giving the two no chance to discuss the matter.

"An arrogant puppet..."

The Abyss King suddenly regained his spirits and quickly stepped forward to meet Qin Ye in battle once again.

Skirk drew her twin blades from her waist and aimed at Qin Ye's side; all she wanted to do was deliver a fatal blow.

With ghostly movements, the sword, imbued with the power of the abyss, thrust out, aiming straight for vital points.

Blades clashing.

The double-headed sword, imbued with water elemental power, blocked her sneak attack.

"Entering a dream is such a novel experience; I thought I was too late."

The red scarf covered the mouth, and the dullness in the eyes revealed the true identity of the newcomer.

"It's been a long time, Master Silky."

Chapter 259 The Driver Returns to Position

"It's Ajax."

Silky's tone was somewhat unsettled, completely different from her calm and aloof demeanor just moments before.

"You've made some progress over the years, haven't you?"

D'Artagnan gripped the dagger tightly with both hands, revealing not a single flaw in his posture. Even though it was a reunion between master and disciple, he understood that the two were on different sides, and this was not a time for nostalgia.

"Hmm, quite vigilant, well done." Skirk nodded in satisfaction, clearly still seeing the young boy who had struggled to learn in her eyes back then.

"But..."

The woman suddenly sprang up, her body moving like a ghost as she rushed out, trying to bypass Tadalia's location and deliver a fatal blow to Qin Ye.

"Master, don't underestimate people."

The young master leaped into the air, anticipating the opponent's path. His Evil Eye and Divine Eye shone brightly, his black robes enveloping his body, and two layers of lightning and water shields protected him, blocking the swift and fierce attack.

When Silky landed on the ground, she saw Qin Ye and the Abyss King wrestling and getting further and further apart. She realized that Qin Ye was avoiding a one-on-two fight just to be on the safe side.

She silently closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and then looked directly at her now-grown-up apprentice.

"You're trying to protect that kid? I never thought I'd see you make that face."

"I thought that my battle with you, Master Skirk, might be a long time coming, and I might not be able to meet you again for half my life. But I never expected that our second meeting would be a life-or-death situation."

Although the young master's tone was somewhat wistful, he tightened his grip on the sword even more.

"I have trained to the death for my comrades, so no matter what obstacles lie ahead, no matter who the enemy is, I will overcome all difficulties for them. This is my resolve."

D'Artagnan stopped reminiscing and stepped forward with her knife, but was easily blocked by Skirk.

“Alright, since that’s the case, then I’ll teach you another lesson, my dear apprentice.”

-

Dotore's clone was struck by the giant mechanical arm and sent flying into the air like trash. It struggled to adjust its movements before finally landing steadily.

"So that's how it is. That bastard Dionysus actually pulled this trick on me."

Dotole himself stood calmly at the back, analyzing the situation before him.

Sure enough, Dionysus would see through my act. He probably already suspected me when we first parted ways.

So he not only healed Scaramucci's body, but also enhanced his abilities...

Tch, you always manage to surprise me even more, Dionysus.

pity...

He spread his arms, his smile growing even more maniacal. A black vortex engulfed the lower part of the Order of the Church, and a huge black whale burst forth from the ground, emitting a series of roars.

"I have already completely taken control of what I need to study. Whether it is you, the Fool, or the Abyss, they are all just objects for my use!"

"He...used dreams."

Nasita frowned; she had already figured out the other party's methods.

"As expected of the God of Wisdom, it's a pity that your purpose is always focused on those weak Sumeru people. Even if you can understand my purpose, you wouldn't dare to interrupt me, because this place was created using the consciousness and dreams of the Sumeru people. Forcibly breaking it will only cause them incalculable backlash."

One of the slices next to Dotore suddenly coughed up blood, knelt on the ground, its body so weak that it seemed it might dissipate at any moment.

"Hey, Little Grass God, you should know what's going on, right?" [Skirmisher] clenched his fist, picked up the little girl beside him, and ran backward.

"Yes, he forcibly connected the void terminal to his own brain. Normally, it would be virtually impossible for a non-divine being to acquire divine knowledge, but he used the characteristics of your flesh and blood, as well as his own fragments, to distribute the side effects of consciousness to his other clones."

"I see... But that's not right. Since he'll keep getting worn down and might even face death, why don't we just keep dragging this out?"

Seeing that Dotole himself had not yet fallen into any negative state, Scaramucci began to think about how to stall for time.

"That's probably impossible."

Nasita shook her head slightly: "Because he is still acquiring knowledge, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and he may achieve his ultimate goal before his slice completely disappears."

"The ultimate goal?"

"Yeah, just like you."

"?"

Seriously? You, a scientific researcher with thick eyebrows and big eyes, want to experience what it's like to be a god?

No, I'm c...

You, Dionysus, wanted everything from the very beginning. You must have noticed something was wrong with Dottore. So, you didn't kill me just to use me as an undercover agent. Did you save me with the intention of using me as cannon fodder?

If it weren't for the Abyss King's sudden intervention, we'd probably all be beating up Dotore by now, but Dionysus had prepared for the worst...

I'll fuck you...

[Scattered Soldier] leaped high into the air, landing atop the shattered Church House: "As the Grass God, don't you have any solutions?"

"A large part of my power is used to protect the consciousness of the Sumeru people from collapsing, and I myself do not have much combat power, so I can only offer you advice."

Nasita sounded a little embarrassed, but that was the truth. She was also helpless. At least the protective shield she had just released had confined the damage and the battlefield to this area, which was already a pretty good emergency measure.

"..."

If I win this time, I'll definitely pin Dotole to the ground and beat him up.

He turned to look at the whales following closely behind, a sense of resentful compromise welling up on his face: "Damn Dio...Dotore! I'll kill you all."

Light burst forth from flesh and blood, and a giant Gundam phantom appeared behind Scaramucci. He floated in the air and entered the cockpit with the little grass god in his arms.

The purple mecha soared into the sky, punching the whale in the face. Lightning spread along its body, enveloping the entire whale with lightning speed.
