I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

"Your best chance to strike me was wasted because of a miscoordination by your own people. Should I say you're pathetic or laughable?"

Faced with Tucker's mocking words, Kaeya did not remove the ice shield, and Jean did not immediately abandon her longsword and retreat. Instead, she kept her hand on the hilt of the longsword and closed her eyes.

The next second, the wind elemental energy on Jean's body began to operate at full power, and was transmitted through the hilt of the sword to the other end of the longsword inside the ice shield. Just as Tucker thought this was Jean and the others' last move, he raised his hand to release a defensive barrier, but the expected attack did not come.

Just as Tucker was feeling a bit confused, Jyn suddenly opened her eyes, and his breath caught in his throat.

"Hiss..."

Tucker suddenly hunched over, his pale face turning red, his eyes widening as he stared incredulously at Jean, who was separated from him by a layer of ice. Jean looked back at Tucker, their eyes meeting, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Ten minutes ago...

"Wrap him in ice when Jean gets in front of Tucker?"

Kaiya looked puzzled.

Ivan nodded and said, "Yes, not only must it be wrapped up, but the ice cover must also be absolutely airtight, completely isolating the inside from the outside. The ice cover must also be heat-resistant and not melt at all. After that, we'll have to rely on the piano."

Kaeya nodded: "Understood. With the blessing of the Demon God's power, I should be able to do all of these things."

Qin asked seriously, "What do I need to do?"

Ivan said, “Everything on the continent of Teyvat contains the energy of the seven elements, it’s just a matter of how much. What you need to do is simple in some ways and difficult in others. You need to use the wind element energy to draw out the air inside the ice shield that you can feel the wind element energy, as well as everything else, through the longsword that pierces through the ice shield, and do it in an instant, without giving Tucker any time to react.”

Standing to the side, Xiang Feng asked in confusion, "Commander Yi, are you trying to suffocate Tucker to death? But complete suffocation takes a long time. With Tucker's strength, he could easily shatter Mr. Kaeya's ice shield before he suffocates completely."

Ivan's lips curled slightly. Instead of answering Xiang Feng directly, he asked, "Did you learn about atmospheric pressure when you were in junior high school?"

Xiang Feng chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, Commander Yi, I've been in the army for so many years, I've forgotten almost everything I learned in school..."

Ivan smiled somewhat helplessly, then held up one finger and asked, "What happens if you forcefully inhale through the mouth of a plastic bottle?"

Xiang Feng replied, "Of course it deflated."

Ivan nodded and said, "Yes, before you inhale, the air pressure inside and outside the bottle is equal. Because you suck the gas out of the bottle, the gas inside the bottle decreases, and the air pressure also decreases. When the air pressure inside the bottle is lower than the outside air pressure, the bottle will naturally be crushed by the outside atmospheric pressure. If we blow air into the nozzle in the opposite direction, the gas inside the bottle increases and the pressure begins to be greater than the outside pressure. When the bottle itself cannot withstand this pressure, it will explode."

"The same applies to the human body. Atmospheric pressure is ubiquitous around us. Even if we are standing here now, we are constantly subjected to atmospheric pressure. It's just that the atmospheric pressure inside our bodies is usually the same as the external air pressure, so the force cancels each other out, and we naturally don't feel it."

"In nature, a vacuum is the environment with the lowest atmospheric pressure. Now the question is, what would happen if we suddenly threw a person into an environment that is almost a vacuum?"

"In an environment of extremely low pressure, the boiling point of a liquid will drop to an unbelievable level. If a person is suddenly exposed to an environment that is infinitely close to a vacuum, all the body fluids in his body will instantly vaporize and be squeezed outwards. And because of the excessive pressure difference between his body and the outside, all his internal organs will be squeezed out of his body by the pressure. All of this will happen in just one or two minutes. The person will eventually die from his own body exploding due to the pressure."

Yes, that's Xiang Feng's plan.

Although Tucker gained the power of the Lone King of the Tower, his body was still human. In fact, because he had endured such a huge amount of energy in a human form, his body was even more fragile than that of an ordinary person!

This is an attack that Tucker absolutely cannot defend against!

Because what will ultimately lead to his death is not any other person, but himself, and the unchanging laws of science.

Tucker proclaims himself a god, unaware that on Earth and Teyvat, where all fundamental natural laws are the same, the eternal scientific laws governing all things are the true gods!

PS: Actually, the most terrifying weapon in the universe is the fundamental laws of science. When the fundamental laws can be applied to the extreme, similar to the two-dimensional foil in "The Three-Body Problem", in the face of such a rule-based weapon, any fancy tricks are meaningless. Of course, humanity still has countless years to go on this path, but we probably won't see that day (tears).

Chapter 57 The Death of Tucker

The ability to instantly extract all the gas and other molecules is a test for the piano.

Jean didn't quite understand what Ivan meant by extracting everything except air from the ice shield. But everything in Teyvat contains the seven elemental energies, even the smallest matter. All she had to do was close her eyes and try to sense all the objects containing wind elemental energy inside the ice shield, and then extract them all in one go.

In that instant, Qin Xin cleared her mind of all distractions, and everything around her seemed to transform into specks of wind elemental energy in the darkness in her perception.

At this moment, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Qin's forehead.

Now is the time!

Qin suddenly opened her eyes, and the long sword stuck in the ice shield acted like a water pump, instantly drawing out all the molecules containing wind element energy from inside the ice shield in one go.

Tucker, inside the ice shield, froze for a moment, then immediately felt the severe suffocation that came with the disappearance of all air. He arched his back and his expression turned painful.

It worked!

Ivan, who witnessed this scene from the ground, clenched his fists tightly.

While this may not create a theoretically perfect vacuum, it is sufficient for now.

Because he couldn't breathe, Tucker's face began to turn red within seconds. Knowing that this couldn't go on, Tucker prepared to use an ice pack. However, at that moment, the effects of the pressure difference began to appear.

Tucker was suddenly shocked to find that his body felt like it was boiling!

Yes, my whole body is boiling.

In an environment that is very close to a vacuum, the boiling point of a liquid decreases rapidly, and the water in the human body will also vaporize quickly.

Tucker's control over the power of the demon god amplified his perception of his body countless times. At this moment, he could clearly feel his blood surging, as if boiling broth was churning wildly in his veins.

However, it wasn't just the blood; soon all the bodily fluids in Tucker's body, including those in his organs and tissues, began to boil and vaporize.

On Tucker's arms, body, and countless other places, the gaseous bodily fluids began to gush out through his skin tissue, causing one bulge after another to rise on his body.

This sudden change terrified Tucker. Although he didn't know what had caused it, he knew he had to escape. So, despite the intense discomfort in his body, Tucker slammed his fist heavily onto the ice shield.

However, Kaeya on the ground was prepared and instantly activated all of his demonic power to strengthen the ice shield. When Tucker punched down, the ice shield was not affected in the slightest.

One punch, two punches, three punches... As Tucker threw more and more punches, Kaeya's pressure increased. However, on the eighth punch, Tucker's raised arm suddenly stopped.

Tucker's pale face had turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging and throbbing on his skin. His eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs were starting to bulge outwards. Combined with Tucker's painful and distorted expression, his appearance was extremely terrifying.

At this moment, Tucker's entire body was covered with countless bumps of all sizes, and the blood vessels on his body surface bulged like earthworms. A few seconds later, Tucker's fingers also began to swell rapidly like inflating balloons. A few seconds later, something viscous suddenly began to flow out of Tucker's wide-open mouth, and at the same time, his head swelled up like a volleyball.

Suddenly, bang!

Like a needle puncturing a huge balloon, Tucker's body exploded, and blood instantly stained the ice shield.

Tucker is dead.

The hurricane stopped abruptly. The three or so people hiding on the side of the tower were stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.

Qin pulled her longsword out of the ice cover, and Keita also put away the ice support that was holding the ice cover up from the ground, causing the entire ice cover to fall to the ground. Then the two of them breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Jean returned to the ground from high altitude and joined Ivan and the others with Kaya.

Looking at the ice cover lying on the ground in the distance, Xiang Feng asked, "They should be completely dead by now, right?"

Ivan laughed and said, "More or less."

Kaia exclaimed, "I never thought it would actually succeed."

"Yes."

Qin nodded, but then suddenly paused, startled.

"Oh no! Lord Barbatos is still in danger!"

"Don't worry about me..."

Suddenly, a somewhat weak voice came from the entrance on the first floor of the tower. Everyone turned around and saw Diluc carrying Venti as they walked out.

"Mr. Wendy, are you alright?"

Everyone rushed over, and Wendy waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine. Lord Diluc saved me. I'll be alright after a while."

Kaeya looked at Diluc and said, "No wonder I couldn't find you before..."

Diluc said coldly, "I discovered the Fatui's trail, so I followed them and happened to witness the lady attacking Wendy, so I fought with her."

Qin frowned and asked, "Were the attackers the Fools?"

Diluc nodded and said, "Yes, their goal seemed to be some kind of token of the wind god, but they didn't succeed."

Jean snorted coldly: "It seems it's time to go back and purge the Fatui from Mondstadt."

Diluc asked, "The tower was shaking violently when we came down. What happened down there?"

Ivan, Jean, and Kaiya exchanged a glance, and then recounted the events that had occurred on the ground.

After hearing this, Wendy said in surprise, "Is that so... does that mean Dvalin is alright?"

Everyone turned to look at Dvalin, who was still asleep in the distance. When Tucker released the hurricane, Dvalin was not swept up because of his huge size and weight. Perhaps because Tucker used all the energy to gather the power of the Lone King of the Tower, the spikes on Dvalin's neck had turned black and there was no longer any energy fluctuation in them.

Ivan said, "Just in case, we'll have to remove the spikes later."

However, just as everyone was discussing, a deep red aura suddenly emerged from the ice shield where Tucker had died, and then rushed towards them silently like lightning.

Because everyone was facing away from Dvalin, no one noticed the crimson aura.

Just as this aura was about to hit everyone's faces, Ivan turned around and was surprised to discover the strange aura.

"careful!"

Ivan shoved away the piano that was about to be touched by the aura, but he himself was instead hit by the crimson aura.

The red aura instantly entered his body, Ivan's breath caught in his throat, and he half-knelt on the ground. At this moment, his eyes turned blood red, and countless chaotic thoughts surged uncontrollably from Ivan's mind.

"Commander Yi!"

"Ivan!"

Just as everyone was about to rush forward, a strong green light suddenly burst out from Ivan's arms. Everyone instinctively closed their eyes. Under the light, the crimson aura was forced out from the top of Ivan's head, turning into a ghostly face that roared in pain. A few seconds later, the ghostly face completely dissipated, and Ivan collapsed to the ground.

He lost consciousness as everyone called his name...

Chapter 58 The Dust Settles

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the bed, its warmth waking Ivan from his deep sleep.

Opening his eyes, Ivan slowly sat up in bed and looked around. He realized that he was lying in his room at the Chinese Embassy in Mondstadt.

Just then, Xiang Feng pushed open the door and stumbled upon this scene.

"Commander Yi! You're awake."

Ivan shook his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Was I unconscious before?"

Xiang Feng said, "Yes, you were unconscious for a whole day."

"one day?"

Ivan rubbed his stomach: "No wonder I'm so hungry."

Xiang Feng slapped his thigh: "Commander Yi, you wait here, I'll go get you something to eat right away."

After saying that, Xiang Feng hurriedly left the room.
