I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

She gradually frowned, turned her gaze to Zhongli, and asked in a low voice, "Are you one of the incarnations of the Rock King Morax—Zhongli?"

Zhongli naturally wouldn't refuse to answer this question.

“Yes, it’s me.” Zhongli looked at the strange girl in front of him, who seemed to be encased in blurry glass, and replied softly, “It’s a very strange state. You seem to have deceived this world and are not accepted by the world of Teyvat.”

"Half of me is outside the world, and half of me is inside the world."

"Therefore, no one can see your true appearance, as if you are shrouded in mist. It's amazing, and it gave me some great ideas and concepts."

The alchemist of the [Gold] was not at all surprised that Zhongli discovered the contents of his spell so quickly.

She knew, of course, that as a deity that had survived for six thousand years, a deity even older than the entire Black Sun Dynasty, it must possess its own unique characteristics.

The alchemist of [Gold] smiled faintly.

"Lord Morax, the ruler of the Land of Rock, it seems you should know us."

"Then you should also know that we are enemies."

“Yes, of course I know.” Zhongli looked calmly at the alchemist before him, whose appearance remained unchanged despite the passage of time.

"【Gold】, the creator of the demon dragon Durin."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Battle (2)

For [Gold], it was not surprising that Zhongli knew her name and could recognize her.

As one of the oldest ruling earthly kingdoms in the world, the Rock King, who has never changed since the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms, is naturally exceptional in his abilities.

"Morax, the Rock Lord. Why are you here?"

Although the alchemist of the [Gold] was indistinct, everyone could sense that she frowned.

"coincide."

Zhongli responded without any expression.

"Although I don't want to say it, according to common sense, I don't need to deliberately target [Gold] and the witch."

"kindness?"

The witch raised an eyebrow with a playful smile.

As a member of the Mondstadt Witches' Guild, and having once hosted a tea party with Klee's mother, Iris, she naturally knew something about Morax, the Rock Lord.

When Iris was exploring Teyvat, the Geo Archon Morax served as her guide in Liyue, and Iris also commented on Morax during a tea party.

This guy is boring. No matter what idea I come up with, he can always find a way to refute it, and he can always come up with some even more boring but more useful methods.

[If he weren't so incredibly strong, so strong that I had absolutely no chance of winning, I would definitely have used a massive, spectacular explosion to show him that not everything in this world is just a matter of reason.]

Although the witch Alice is like a child who never grows up, her power is one of the strongest in the witch council.

Since even she spoke of the power of the Rock King Morax, the red-haired witch naturally wouldn't object.

Reinhardt, the alchemist of the "Gold," was unaware of all this. As the only remaining alchemist of the "Gold" in the world, who had created the dragon Durin and the Primal Beings, he no longer cared about anything in the world of Teyvat.

To her, worldly governance was nothing more than this.

The demon god who once commanded our utmost respect no longer appears so immense and powerful amidst the abyss and despair of these past many years.

The number of demons she controlled and the once powerful creatures she destroyed was countless.

Even the dragon she created, Durin, was no match for the wind god Barbatos if we were to be serious about it.

Morax, the Rock King who lived in the same era as Barbatos, is probably nothing special.

Of course, she wasn't being arrogant.

Having witnessed the vastness of the world, the myriad universes, and the majestic [trees] and [seas], the alchemist had set her definition of power far too high.

For him, one cannot be considered powerful unless one reaches the level of the maintainer of the natural order or that gentleman.

Then she will be able to fight him.

Although the reason for this battle is unclear and the cause is impossible to conceive, it is only natural for the [Gold] alchemist of the destroyed kingdom to be hostile to the other gods and rulers of the Teyvat world.

"Hmph!"

The alchemist snorted coldly. Although she disliked fighting, she was not afraid of it either.

She casually reached into her pocket, took out a few test tubes, and tossed them to the ground.

Rumble!

The entire snow-capped mountain seemed to tremble. Huge, enormous dragon lizards stood atop the ceiling of the old palace, roaring ferociously. Their gazes, entrusted by their creator mother, were fixed on the seemingly tiny Zhongli not far away.

“The power of rock element.” Zhongli crossed one arm over his chest and rested the other on his chin, looking at the giant dragon lizard in front of him. He nodded slightly. “A very strange structure. I had never thought of such an ingenious design before.”

"I have fully understood it and will be able to apply it next time."

"Heh~~!" The [Gold] Alchemist laughed and pointed.

Several enormous dragon lizards immediately plunged both hands into the ground, and huge clumps of rock element condensed on their claws.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom boom boom~~~!

The massive clumps of rock element resembled cannonballs—no, to draw an analogy, they were probably like the electromagnetic cannons of a space battleship.

The boring speed exceeded ten times the speed of sound, and the air was even scorched, with faint ozone particles appearing.

This short distance of less than 100 meters is something that this rock elemental projectile can cover in less than a second.

The speed and process from when the dragon lizard raised its arm to when the cannonball exploded in front of Zhongli were completely too fast for the traveling girl and the blond prince to react.

Before the two of them could react, a huge explosion resounded throughout the palace, like an earthquake. The entire palace trembled continuously, and countless dust and sand began to fall from the palace ceiling, filling the entire space.

Amidst the billowing dust, the [Gold] Alchemist held no hope whatsoever that such an attack might succeed.

She quickly reached into her pocket and took out several more test tubes.

Then it was suddenly crushed.

The peculiar reagent in the test tube began to absorb all the surrounding elements as soon as it came into contact with the air.

A raging storm, surging electricity, flowing water, biting ice, lush vegetation, and blazing flames.

Suddenly, elements began to converge throughout the entire palace.

One after another, enormous elemental creatures condensed into form almost instantly.

[Gold] The alchemist waved his hand again, and these artificial elements, which had already taken shape and seemed to have power far exceeding that of ordinary elemental life, unanimously released their strongest power in the direction where Zhongli had originally been in the dust.

On one side, a massive storm began to sweep across the entire palace, swirling up countless rocks. Flames, carried by the storm, transformed into a fiery storm that engulfed the heavens and the earth. The storm ignited the vegetation that had somehow covered the palace grounds, further amplifying the storm and the flames.

On the other side was a terrifying torrent of water, accompanied by a diffused bluish-purple lightning that spread continuously within it, and patches of frost that swirled and weaved through the water.

At the same time, the giant dragon lizards pressed their advantage, once again pressing their claws into the ground, pulling out several rock elemental projectiles, and hurling them down in the original direction.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom boom boom~~~!

Explosions echoed one after another, as if the world was about to be torn apart.

The palace was almost completely destroyed in the attack, and it was just a hair's breadth away from collapsing completely.

Although the traveler girl watching this scene had a solemn expression, she didn't care, because she knew that the Rock King Morax was not an existence that could be dealt with so easily.

To be honest, she had seen the strongest enforcer of the natural order in this world, but even that enforcer was not even one-tenth as strong as Zhongli.

After all, she could discern the relative strengths and weaknesses of those who upheld the principles of Heaven, but she had absolutely no idea how to describe Zhongli.

That enormous golden eye, in her eyes, was almost like the [tree] and [sea] that covered everything outside the world—in any case, she couldn't recognize or understand them.

"A nice elemental flavor."

As expected, amidst this scene of cataclysmic destruction, Zhongli's calm and composed voice rang out as always, without a trace of panic or agitation.

"Seven elements flow and regenerate endlessly; the alchemists of the [Gold] realm truly possess unique abilities."

"Then let's pause for now. We still have many issues to discuss."

As soon as he finished speaking, a finger was extended.

Amidst the raging storm of flames and the icy currents that permeated half the palace, those unique, pale fingers in the center were so captivating.

"Stop, storm."

The storm immediately stopped.

"Extinguish, flame."

The flames gradually died down.

"Wither, grass and trees."

The plants that once filled the entire palace almost instantly passed their entire life cycle, turning into withered yellow leaves.

"Retreat, torrent!"

The water flow seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the water level continued to drop.

"Disappear, Thunder."

As the water flowed away, the thunder ceased its rampage and gradually subsided.

"Melt, ice."

The ice fragments mixed with the water began to melt into the water, and then began to descend with the current.

Return to dust, rock.

The giant dragon lizards paused abruptly, and then their heads began to turn into sand, flowing onto the ground and turning into dust.

After everything settled down, Zhong Li reappeared unharmed in the same spot.

His expression remained unchanged, calm as if everything he was experiencing was as simple and easy as brushing off the dust from his body.

This scene caused Reinhardt's pupils to contract sharply. As an alchemist of the "Gold," her understanding of the elements far surpassed that of a mortal ruler who could only manipulate one element.
