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

Wait, am I misunderstanding something?

Perhaps Diluc deliberately used this completely inadequate disguise, for the simple reason that he wanted to reveal his true identity.

I see... What Diluc-senpai said this time was probably something that wasn't suitable for what Barbatos, the Wind God, was talking about.

Jean felt she understood Diluc's thoughts, and at that moment Diluc remained silent for a moment before explaining:

"In the future, Abedo is very likely to be the ultimate life form. It seems that the future Abedo has traveled through time and arrived in the present era."

As for the Princess of Judgment... her energy is extremely dangerous in both its characteristics and power.

Her anti-life equation was truly exceptional; even the ultimate life form, Abedo, was powerless against her strength.

...?

Diluc, what are you saying?

Looking at Dilucin in front of her, she felt a little confused. What did it mean that Abelard would become an ultimate life form in the future? And who was this Princess of Judgment?

Is there a powerful figure known as the Condemned Princess in Mondstadt?

Jean felt extremely confused, but after analyzing Diluc's words, she had some guesses in her mind.

Legend has it that Barbatos, one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, is the god of wind who controls the pulse of the wind, and that the will of Barbatos is present in all the places the wind can reach.

Those winds are Barbatos's eyes, helping him see the world. Could it be that the winds of Diluc sensed Abedo's return to the present from the future?

Recalling something mentioned in certain ancient texts, Jean nodded and made this guess in her mind. At the same time, Diluc, looking at Jean who had nodded, continued:

"Now that the message has been delivered, I shall take my leave. The Fatui should be more restrained after what happened with the meteorite."

After saying this, Diluc prepared to leave, while Jean said with gratitude, "Thank you, Barbatos."

Hearing Jean's words, Diluc was speechless. Why did people always mistake him for Barbatos? Looking at Jean, Diluc retorted, "You're welcome, Barbara."

Barbara?

Oh, I see. Senior Diluc deliberately called him by the wrong name to remind himself that Barbatos and the acting Grand Master of the Knights had not met today.

Qin's face showed a knowing expression at this moment.

Chapter 575: Let the Mondstadt people handle their own affairs~

"Next, should we go to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain or...?"

Leaving the Knights Commander's office, Diluc muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Jean, watching Diluc gradually disappear into the distance, also perked up.

Even as dawn approaches, Diluc hasn't rested, so I can't be so unmotivated.

Qin suddenly had a vague feeling that her knights were encouraging her, saying, "Captain, what are you doing? You can't rest yet!"

Yes, I can't rest right now.

At this moment, Qin thought with unwavering determination, "I can still work!"

For the sake of Mondstadt's future, she couldn't stop. As Jean thought this with unwavering resolve, Diluc had already made his decision.

"The power of the Night Hero is limited. The more you try, the more you discover the limitations of this power. Therefore... I, Diluc, will become an idol!"

Diluc firmly realized that his power was still far too weak compared to those ultimate life forms.

With such weak power, what can I possibly protect? Therefore, I need to acquire stronger power, so that I am qualified to negotiate with those who possess such power.

Now that the method to obtain that power is right in front of me, the answer is obvious: I will become the world's number one idol!

Mondstadt is clearly not a suitable place for my debut... so I'll choose Liyue, which is nearby, as my debut location.

Diluc is ready to debut. Through studying the idol's guide, he has gained a basic understanding of various professional terms.

Idols are the hope of humanity, and I must become the hope of humanity.

Having read some one-sided interpretations of idols, Diluc had come to equate idols with gods in his mind, and the strongest idol in the world was undoubtedly the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm.

However, the future history should be shaped by people in this world, and in terms of idols, I will surpass the gods.

Diluc says he's always been good at setting ambitious goals.

Yes, tomorrow I'll set off with Venti for Liyue to pursue our dream of surpassing the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm in popularity.

However, Diluc's popularity in the Idol Codex has been automatically equated with faith, and just as Diluc was preparing to take the path of faith and godhood, he happened to pass by a building near the Adventurers' Guild.

"My future is bright for the Night Hero, and surpassing the Seven Gods is just around the corner."

Diluc, who was letting loose and being himself while keeping his disguise intact, gave himself a few words of encouragement, but Fischl happened to overhear this from a building not far away.

"Ha, a dark hero who dares to surpass the Seven Gods? This Princess of Judgment is interested in meeting you."

Fischl muttered to himself, while Oz looked out the window speechlessly.

The person jumping around the city in the middle of the night... if I'm not mistaken, it's Diluc, right?

What is he thinking with this level of disguise? Anyone who has seen him before would recognize him.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to complain, Oz quietly watched the Night Hero pass by the window.

"Go, Oz, and see for this princess what that Night Hero is up to!"

Fischl spoke with a hint of excitement, and Oz, somewhat helpless, set off to quietly follow Diluc.

Diluc's movements were so subtle, deliberately concealed, that they were barely audible. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have noticed someone brushing past the edge of their window.

Since they weren't engaged in a pursuit or anything like that, Diluc wasn't rushing as fast as he could.

As the first rays of dawn touched the horizon, Teyvat was greeted by a new morning, and tiny, dense dewdrops were clearly visible on the Sweetflower blossoms.

At roughly the same time, in the gift of the angels, Diluc spotted Venti playing music.

Without further ado, Diluc stated his purpose directly. Venti remained silent for a moment before replying, "If I get attacked in Liyue, you'll have to hold them off for me."

Were you beaten?

Upon hearing this, Diluc's eyes showed a hint of confusion. What are you talking about, Venti? Why do you think you'll get beaten up if you go to Liyue?

"You... made enemies with someone in Liyue?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy quickly shook her head:

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just afraid I might lose control of my instincts and get beaten up. If I accidentally do something and someone hits me, just hold that person off for me."

Diluc didn't seem to care much about Wendy's words and nodded.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything that crosses my bottom line, even if it's just joking around... I'll cover for you if anything really happens."

Diluc didn't speak too definitively, as he couldn't be sure if Wendy would do anything that would clearly violate Mondstadt law once inside.

So, he has left the Knights of Favonius, but that doesn't mean he has completely fallen into evil and become like the members of the Treasure Thieves.

"You can rest assured about that. What bad intentions could a bard have? I guess he just can't control his mischievousness."

Wendy said casually, and Diluc nodded upon hearing her words.

Oz overheard their conversation, so Wendy had noticed Oz's presence but didn't say anything.

He knew something about the somewhat delusional investigator from the Adventurers' Guild, but he seemed to have discovered some things about that investigator that he hadn't expected at all.

Anti-life equation, Omega rays...

Wendy fell into thought as he recalled the words he had heard at the site of the meteorite crash, but he quickly abandoned the idea.

Let the Mondstadt people handle their own affairs. As for myself... I'll wait until they all move out.

Whether it's Aberdo, who seems to have traveled through time, or Fischl, who gained mysterious powers, their "feelings" for Mondstadt are undeniable.

As Wendy gave up thinking, Fischl looked thoughtful after receiving Oz's report.

“Liyue... Interesting. I sensed it. I sensed that foreign land awaiting my arrival. Since the hero of the night has invited me, I will respond.”

Fischl reverted to her chuunibyou (delusional) state and said, while Oz, upon hearing this, casually retorted, "Miss, when will Lord Diluc...?"

"Oz!"

Fischl, now in her Judgment Princess mode, lightly stomped her right foot, revealing a slightly angry expression. Seeing her master Oz's behavior, Fischl wisely stopped courting death.

Chapter 576: The nurturing system is complete, just waiting for you, the righteous one, to sign it over!

After Diluc explained the upcoming arrangements for Dawn Winery, he and Venti left Mondstadt for Liyue.

To become an idol, one needs at least one talent. After thinking for a moment, Diluc wondered if he should go over and perform slaying Hilichurls with his sword.

However, he eventually gave up on the idea. Well, as a last resort, he could only resort to singing.

However, it's not entirely hopeless. Hopefully, we can master the contents of the beginner's pack before arriving in Liyue.

Although I already know how to use which instrument, memory is still just memory. I don't know how effective the methods in my memory will be when I try them on my own body.

After logging out of the game, Xia Qing discovered that Diluc's coordinates were moving towards the border of Mondstadt, according to her senses.

After listening for a while, he had a general idea of ​​Diluc's schedule.

Things often don't go as planned, and the reality is completely different from what I initially envisioned.

In his initial design, Diluc was a very cool Night Elf of Mondstadt, a key figure in the future, and a legendary righteous man.

Unfortunately, because Diluc obtained the Idol Codex, Xia Qing's plan to cultivate this righteous person has been temporarily shelved. Xia Qing, who was preparing to find an opportunity to rearrange things, is now facing a headache.

Alright, since Diluc wants to develop in the direction of his idol, I'll grant his wish for now. If he decides on his own goals, it's better not to interfere.

After all, I'm not some kind of devil.

After learning about Diluc's philosophy, Xia Qing listened to a bit more of Diluc's conversation with Venti. Upon learning about Diluc's talents, Xia Qing immediately created a system for him without hesitation.

Xia Qing went to the bubble space to modify the time ratio with the outside world. Not long had passed in the outside world before Xia Qing had already completed the system creation.

The strongest idol training system is the name of the system I created. Compared to the normal system, that system can only be described as a weaker version by many times.

For now, the system only has a very limited set of functions, such as skill exchange, idol concept collection, emotion perception, and memory infusion.

When Diluc uses this system to perform idol-related actions that match his input, he will earn idol points. These idol points can be converted proportionally into collected idol concepts.

Skill exchange allows you to exchange for various talent memories provided by the system's friendship system. Memory infusion means that after exchanging, various skills will be directly infused into your mind.

The current system's exchange function is merely to enhance physical abilities through skills, talents, or conceptual power.
