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

She originally thought that even if Zhongli could break through her offensive, he would at least need some violent means.

But the methods before her, so devoid of any human touch and completely incomprehensible to her, were something she never expected.

She tensed up immediately, and pale golden runes lit up on her hands as she guarded against the attack from the Rock King Emperor.

“Black soil nurtures everything, and chalk is born from black soil.” Zhongli’s voice continued calmly, seemingly uninterested in taking action: “And within chalk, gold can be found.”

"The foundation of everything in the world of Teyvat is the Black Earth that gave birth to the world and covered everything. Born from the Black Earth were the Children of Chalk, the Primal Beings."

"Above the chalk, further upwards lies the essence that can transform into all things: [Gold]."

"And you, as the alchemist of [Gold], are just a hair's breadth away from achieving the world's first [Crimson]."

"This is truly a magnificent achievement. Even the alchemists of today cannot achieve this with chalk, let alone with gold. He truly deserves to be the strongest alchemist of the Black Sun Dynasty, the former underground kingdom of Teyvat."

Zhongli's voice was devoid of any superfluous emotion, containing only a faint, sincere appreciation.

But it was precisely this praise that made Reinhardt increasingly irritable.

Feeling alienated from the world, she clearly expressed her strong sense of disgust.

"They are merely earthly rulers, pawns in helping Sky Island maintain the world, yet they are so arrogant."

The pale golden light on the arms of the alchemist of the [Gold] became increasingly dazzling, shining like true pure gold.

The entire palace was instantly enveloped in this golden light.

"Hey! [Gold], what are you doing?!"

The red-haired witch was the first to notice something amiss. She quickly pulled up her hood and shouted in a panic, "Using gold alchemy here? Hey, hey, hey, aren't you going to take care of His Highness the Prince?"

"It's up to you, witch."

The alchemist of "Gold" spoke in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Zhong Li's eyes.

His words were tinged with frustration.

"So high and mighty, so arrogant and domineering, the so-called God of the Seven Kingdoms is nothing more than a slightly more powerful demon god. What right does he have to look down on us with such an attitude?"

"We explore the earth's veins, we do not rely on gods, we protect all our people!"

"What did we do wrong?!"

Why are we being treated like this?!

"The Snow Mountain Kingdom is like this, and so is our Black Sun Dynasty. By what right do these high and mighty gods dictate our lives and destinies?!"

Despite such a roar, Zhongli's voice remained calm and unhurried.

"kindness....."

"I cannot say who was right and who was wrong, but I do know that the Black Sun Dynasty, which collapsed five hundred years ago, was not opposed by the ruling class in the mortal world. Otherwise, the God of Grass and the God of Ice..."

"However, Sky Island cannot be said to be wrong. I did not know the reason before. Only recently did I learn Sky Island's true intention and why she destroyed so many civilizations."

"I am sorry for what happened to the Black Sun Dynasty. In the past, I was preoccupied with something and never paid attention to the situation on the continent of Teyvat since my partner disappeared two thousand years ago."

"What a smooth talker!"

The alchemist of "Gold" roared, no longer able to listen to anything Zhongli was saying.

The pale golden light emanating from her arms had spread throughout the palace, almost completely covering most of the snow-capped mountain.

"Come forth!! My unique [Golden] Technique!!"

“This snow mountain provides me with useful material. Although it is just an immature creation from the past, it can be given a new lease on life today.”

Accompanied by her words.

A series of strange heartbeats suddenly rang out in the air.

The entire snow-capped mountain began to tremble incessantly, and countless snowflakes shook and began to slide down the hillside.

Thump thump~~~!

Thump thump thump~~~!

Thump thump thump thump~~~!

My heartbeat grew faster and louder.

In less than a few seconds, the entire snow-capped mountain echoed with this tremendous heartbeat.

The corrosive sword in the traveler girl's hand began to emit an increasingly intense deep purple glow.

"Roar~~~~~~!"

A tremendous roar suddenly erupted, drowning out everything.

The dragon has awakened!

Chapter Twenty-Five: Battle (3)

A deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the ancient palace on the snow-capped mountain began to tremble incessantly.

The mountains and the earth trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

Countless snowflakes were flung up and carried by a storm that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, transforming into a blizzard that swept everything away.

"Got to go."

Zhongli glanced at the ground twice, then turned to Gui Zhong and Fu Hua behind him and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless dark purple, almost crimson liquids suddenly gushed upwards from beneath the ground.

The liquid was much thicker and denser than the water from before. As soon as the strange liquid, which resembled blood, appeared, a pungent, dry smell filled the nasal cavity.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Countless crimson crystals suddenly emerged from the special liquid.

Knock knock!

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The heartbeat grew increasingly intense.

Roar~~~~!

With another tremendous roar, the entire palace of the Snow Burial City could no longer hold on and suddenly began to collapse from the ceiling.

Countless deadly and enormous stones kept falling from the height.

After the first dragon roar, the red-haired witch pulled the blond prince Kong aside, quickly transformed into a blazing flame, and left the palace.

Meanwhile, the traveler girl Ying followed closely behind, quickly chasing after her brother as they created a gentle breeze.

Roar~~~~!

The third dragon roar rang out again.

The rapid heartbeats echoed throughout the snow-capped mountain, and countless Hittites felt their own hearts beating in unison with them.

Boom!

The palace collapsed, snowflakes were swept up by the gale, and amidst the vast expanse of white, the crimson light was so dazzling and brilliant.

Reinhardt, the alchemist of the Gold, moved her long, slender, fair legs, clad in pure white high-heeled boots, stepping over broken stones as if on a picnic amidst a blizzard of falling rocks, and walked toward the sky.

A colossal and terrifying figure swept past her and landed lightly at her feet, just as she was about to step into the air.

Roar~~~!

The dragon roared, and the demonic dragon Durin, covered in crimson crystals and imbued with countless corrosive blood, stood proudly at Reinhardt's feet.

Then, she stretched out her tattered wings, which were badly damaged by the corrosive power, and flew up into the sky.

Roar~~~!

With another roar, following the instructions behind him to resurrect his mother, the dragon Dulin opened his mouth wide.

An extremely concentrated corrosive power condensed continuously in its mouth, transforming into natural and complex alchemical magic rings, the crimson radiance almost dyeing the sky over half of the snow-capped mountain.

Roar~~~~~!

With another roar, the light slowly condensed, eventually transforming into a beam of light several meters thick, which aimed at Zhongli's figure, which was faintly visible in the wind and snow, and crashed towards him.

"Huh?? This kind of power??"

A voice that Reinhardt had never heard before suddenly came from beside Zhongli.

"Although their performances and states are different, it's quite obvious that..."

Before the words were finished, the crimson light suddenly collided with a massive flame that surged forth from within the snowstorm. A woman dressed in a flame-like Liyue cheongsam burst forth from the flame and crashed into the light.

Boom!

The interaction between flames and crimson light suddenly transformed into a massive explosion that engulfed everything, including the sky, the ground, frost, and snow.

The color of flame covered everything, and dazzling light illuminated the sky.

"Honkai Impact!!!"

Fu Hua roared loudly, and facing the Honkai, which seemed like a nemesis and whom she could not escape even when she went to the Teyvat world, she felt a bit of anger and fear.

Although she knew that as a world that relied on the edge of the "tree," Potivat would inevitably possess the power of collapse as a test for civilization, the world's long-standing peace had made her almost forget about such a thing.

So seeing Honkai energy appear here again almost made her lose her composure.

She wondered, was this world also about to be engulfed in chaos? Was this world, which had finally achieved peace, about to be destroyed once again?

Boom!

The orange-red flames on Fu Hua's body gradually turned into a deep purple. The terrifying temperature melted away all the surrounding wind and snow, and the air was filled with scorching heat and fumes.

At Reinhardt's signal, the dragon Durin unleashed several more enormous crimson beams of light.

At the same time, the pale golden light on the hands of the alchemist of [Gold] shone brightly once more, its golden luster dazzling at this moment.

Pure golden chains appeared out of thin air and were firmly fixed to Fu Hua's wrists and ankles in the void.

"Shoot her."

Reinhardt gave a low shout, and the golden light on his arm shone on the ground, causing stone spears to suddenly rise up and shoot out.

"How could such a small thing possibly restrain me?" Fu Hua snorted and shook his hands.
