My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

The shield barely stopped the musketeer's bullets, but unfortunately, it shattered the next second when faced with the debt collector's assassination attempt.

Faced with this situation, Xia Qing was about to resist, but the lady's icicles had already arrived at the scene, and the freezing phenomenon that occurred the moment they touched Xia Qing's body began to spread.

In an instant, half of their bodies were frozen in place, while Mondstadt's forces also began to fight back using various methods.

Diluc and Luminous simultaneously charged toward the nearest debt collector, while Amber Fischl drew her bow and aimed at the lady.

"Oz!"

As Fischl aimed, she called out, and in the next second, in Fischl's perception, Oz, who came from the Pure Land of the Night, flew towards the lady's position with arcs of electricity around his body.

The blackness on Xia Qing's body began to reverse and dissipate the freeze. Seeing this, the woman attacked again with the cold wind. Xia Qing pretended to be numb, and Barbara panicked and immediately began to treat her.

...?

Are you the mole?

Don't come near me!

Seeing the water ball containing healing properties, Xia Qing subconsciously took a step back, but unfortunately, at this distance, he couldn't dodge at all.

Xia Qing, who had just escaped from the frozen state, fell into the frozen state again. Barbara looked a little embarrassed in the face of this scene.

When the debtor tried to finish him off, Diluc gritted his teeth and increased the output of his Eye of God. Flames erupted from the sword, and three consecutive strikes severely wounded the debtor.

Even so, the lady remained confident, knowing that eliminating the troublesome enemy, the debt collector, was just one of her trump cards.

Bang bang bang!

Just then, three gunshots rang out, and Xia Qing's body was pierced through.

"Ughhhhh!"

The ink coalesced into the shape of a pistol. Xia Qing fired three shots in an attempt to take out the three musketeers opposite him, but unfortunately the lady had already seen through his plan.

The cold air solidified into a shield that blocked three dark bullets, while Xia Qing, looking at the woman not far away with a somewhat unwilling expression, forcibly dragged his injured body forward.

Unfortunately, Xia Qing collapsed to the ground halfway through his charge, his left index finger still pointing at the woman as if to express his indomitable will.

"Qing-tide!"

Amber's voice rang out at this moment. He had already learned the name Xia Qing was currently using on his way here.

"Don't give up! The flower of hope is blooming ahead. Carry on my will and keep going!"

However… I never expected that as someone who… well, at the moment of death, my past identity is like smoke and clouds. I never imagined, I would die here.”

Xia Qing spoke haltingly. Seeing this, the lady continued to focus her gaze on Diluc. Xi, who could resist the power bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen, was already dead.

"You're next, Diluc!"

The woman pointed at Diluc and spoke with an air of certainty about obtaining the Heart of God, while Diluc, his left fist clenched, slowly approached the woman, carrying his greatsword.

"Huh, instead of running away from me, this lady is actually coming over?"

Lady Diluc looked slightly surprised, but she quickly realized that Diluc was, after all, Barbatos, the Mondstadt wind god who had overthrown the rule of the Lone King of the Tower.

It's normal for Diluc to resolutely fight even against a powerful enemy like himself, isn't it? In any case, you are indeed a qualified god who secretly protects Mondstadt.

Unfortunately... for Her Majesty the Empress's plan, you must hand over the Heart of God today!

"How can I pluck the flower of hope that represents victory if I don't get close to you!"

Diluc gritted his teeth, his emotions unusually fluctuating. The lady had indeed put immense pressure on him, but he would not back down in the face of such pressure.

I will fight on my own, I will win on my own, and then... I will pluck the final flower that symbolizes hope!

"Just watch, this is... my resolve!"

Diluc's Eye of God had reached its maximum output power at this moment, and the four words etched in his mind were: "Eternal protection of Mondstadt."

"The verdict is hereby pronounced!"

As her resounding voice faded, the Crimson Phoenix swept away all enemies before her, and the lady, facing this scene, spoke with a serious expression:

"Diluc, you are indeed a worthy opponent, but... having chosen this path that is destined to be weak, you cannot defy me, who possesses the power bestowed by the Queen."

Chapter 570: My arrival is to welcome the resurgence of the Dark King.

"This means that Her Majesty the Empress is the most powerful among the Seven Gods!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the frost froze the Flame Phoenix. Diluc felt a bone-chilling cold spreading around him, and his body was now completely unable to move.

When Diluc was defeated, Amber, Luminous, Fischl and others attacked at the same time, but their power was still too weak in front of the Fatui Enforcers.

Faced with frost powerful enough to freeze everything in its path, they all found themselves in a state not much different from Diluc's current condition.

"Oh no, this is terrible."

Looking at the scene before her, Barbara's face turned pale. How could she possibly fight in this situation? She was just an ordinary priest, without their immense power.

Wendy, mimicking Xia Qing, also fell to the ground. Since there were still too many innocent people present, Wendy planned to launch a sneak attack at a suitable opportunity.

I can't just ignore Mondstadt tomorrow; I am the best bard in Mondstadt!

Wendy's pride appeared in a strange way, while watching Ms. Barbara, who was barely standing, walk slowly forward.

Just a few steps away from Diluc, who was currently inaccessible, the woman slowly spoke: "So, Diluc, what is your choice now?"

Will you choose to continue your stubborn resistance and face your death, or will you choose to surrender your divine heart and swear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen?

A good bird chooses its tree to perch on, and a good minister chooses his lord to serve. You have been fulfilling your mission very diligently.

If you swear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, you can retain your current status even when Her Majesty crushes the rule of Heavenly Justice.

Upon hearing the lady's question, Diluc was at a loss for words. "Do you Fatui people like to just start attacking without listening to others' explanations?"

I, Diluc, just want to live a peaceful life, like occasionally transforming into the Darkness of Mondstadt after get off work every day, but please don't mistake me for Lord Barbatos, the protector of Mondstadt.

Venti, who doesn't know the truth about Barbatos, doesn't have much of an impression of the current Diluc. He sees Venti, whose true identity is Barbatos, as just an ordinary bard.

Just as everyone in Mondstadt collapsed, and the woman felt victory was assured and defeat was impossible, a strange sound suddenly came from the center of the crater created by the meteorite.

The space there began to crack like a shattered mirror, and the alien warriors appeared before everyone for the first time.

"And who... are you?"

The female messenger, looking at the Dark Lord not far away, spoke cautiously. Upon hearing this question, the other messenger remained silent for a moment before replying in a low voice:

"My name is Steppenwolf, a warrior who descended here at the moment of my demise."

"I have come here to awaken the will of the God of Revelation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qing, disguised as the Wasteland Wolf, decisively made his move. To him, the people present were nothing more than natives of this planet; no matter how strong they were, how much stronger could they be?

As Steppenwolf thought this, the lady, without hesitation, activated the power bestowed upon her by the Ice God once more in the face of this enemy's attack.

"This, this kind of strength."

The next scene made the woman's tone become somewhat surprised.

The wasteland wolf before her, facing the chilling aura capable of ending all things in the universe, merely moved at a slightly slower pace.

"Interesting power... The life forms on this planet may be more powerful than I imagined."

Steppenwolf revealed a slightly interested tone, looked at the lady not far away, cracked his knuckles, and then decisively made his move without saying a word.

Don't hit women?

Ah, I don't have such a rule.

With this in mind, the two forces clashed directly at this moment. One of them nearly defeated all the ladies of the Mondstadt adventure team, who were now somewhat disheveled and took a few deep breaths.

"I must say, you are more powerful than I imagined."

Looking at the Steppenwolf not far away, he showed a wary expression, but the next second his wary expression disappeared. Steppenwolf stretched out his right hand and a vortex model of terrifying energy gathered in his hand.

Why do you think you have a chance to defeat me?

"Then let the destruction of this planet be the offering for the return of that being. Your fate is sealed; you will face annihilation before my power."

The vortex model that had been forming in front of Steppenwolf's right hand began to devour everything around it, and the lady was one of the first to be affected.

Faced with this sudden appearance, no one present was capable of confronting him.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, a ray of hope appeared again. Diluc, who had just been severely injured, managed to recover and stand up again.

"You want to destroy us? I won't let you have that idea! The hero of justice has been resurrected!"

Diluc spoke these words instinctively, and as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his greatsword again and charged towards Steppenwolf.

If even I were to back down at this moment, then... then there are still the Seven Gods and Heavenly Principles behind me to protect me.

Diluc's mental list of lines describing his mercenary role suddenly became useless, and the Wasteland Wolf sneered at Diluc's charge.

"What can your weak and feeble attack possibly achieve?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Steppenwolf shattered Diluc's next attack, and Diluc suffered another defeat.

"Willpower can indeed provide a significant boost, but when the difference in strength is too great, this boost is destined to be useless."

As a native of this planet, to unleash a strike that catches my eye with this level of strength... Ha, you've done quite well.

However… even so, before me, that Dark King's most trusted subordinate, your ultimate fate will only be defeat.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Steppenwolf dealt Diluc a severe blow, while Barbara stood there helplessly watching.

At this moment, almost everyone capable of fighting was lying on the ground, and a hint of annoyance flashed in the woman's eyes.

I never expected it to end like this.

However, I cannot fall here. No matter what, I must pass on the information about this monster from outside the world to Her Majesty the Empress.

Because... I am the eighth seat of the Executors of the Fools, who are most trusted by Her Majesty the Empress in the Kingdom of Winterfall!

Chapter 571: I am the ultimate life form, a warrior of Mondstadt....jpg

"Now, let me grant you death."

Just as Steppenwolf was about to make his move, the situation suddenly reversed. Barbara appeared silently behind him and punched him through the heart.

"This is really troublesome. I thought I could hide it even better, but I didn't expect to be so unlucky as to encounter this situation."

Steppenwolf... Hmm, that name sounds familiar. Are you a subordinate of the Dark Lord on Apokolips?
