"I am the strongest."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The players' barrage instantly boiled over.
[The Teacher: You're the strongest too?]
[Opening bets, opening bets: See if the Pyro Archon loses in the later plot.]
[Definitely loses, duh.]
[When has the Pyro Archon ever lost?]
[Must be against the Abyss.]
[Or maybe Mavuika regains the Pyro Archon's power and turns against him?]
[Why not say Paimon can defeat the Pyro Archon?]
[Blind guess: The Pyro Archon doesn't beat the Abyss Boss, then the Traveler steps in and they defeat it together.]
[Very heroic, and very familiar.]
[Everyone thinks the Pyro Archon will lose; what if miHoYo plays it for contrast and he really wins from start to finish?]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible.]
[Titles like "strongest" or "invincible" are just there to be subverted.]
[Sophie's invincible form falls.jpg.]
[Bold, daring to say that adult's name directly!]
[Speaking of which, Sophie lost because his head was set on fire, right?]
[Will the Pyro Archon lose because his head catches fire too?]
[How could that happen; the chance of the Pyro Archon being burned by fire is about the same as a Pyro Slime dying to Pyro damage.]
[Since miHoYo is playing the Teacher meme, maybe the Pyro Archon will end up like that too.]
[Ah, no way, right? I really like this character; I don't want him to die.]
[Rest assured; other games might kill, but Genshin up to now hasn't killed off a single character, and definitely won't kill a gacha character in the future.]
[At most, something like "Sorry for not letting the Abyss Lord have his fun."]
While the players were happily memeing, a yellow pixelated little dragon barged into the council hall.
"Kinich, where's Kinich?"
"How did he just leave me behind again?"
Ajaw floated in the air, grumbling and complaining.
"Ajaw?" Chuychu slightly raised her brows. "I was wondering why it was so quiet; turns out you've been gone the whole time."
In the past, when communicating with Kinich, Ajaw would definitely be chattering noisily by the side.
Earlier, she had been focused on the rescue of Kaiulani and felt the atmosphere was a bit different from usual but didn't say anything; only now did she realize it was because Ajaw wasn't there.
"What?"
"You all only now noticed that this holy dragon wasn't here?"
"It's pissing off this great holy dragon!" Ajaw's face turned red, as if he could spit fire. "That little Kinich, just because he got a tiny bit of divine power, doesn't put this great holy dragon in his eyes anymore; and now even you all are the same!"
Ever since Kinich received Rios's divine power, he no longer cared for the power Ajaw provided him.
If Ajaw didn't make noise, he could still stay by his side. But if he annoyed him, Kinich would unhesitatingly "seal" Ajaw away.
Ajaw's days were much more aggrieved than before.
Not only did he get burned by fire, but he also frequently encountered long-term seals; even his appearances were few and far between.
This was the so-called past support being worse than a dog, huh.
"Rios..." Ajaw opened his mouth to say.
"What did you call me?" Rios raised his brows and looked over.
"Py-Pyro Archon." Although Ajaw often courted death, he was smart and immediately knew the address was wrong. "How about you take back the divine power you gave to Kinich?"
"What's the reason?" Rios asked.
"Kinich has become so strong that he can win against any enemy, so he won't die easily."
"Then how am I supposed to take over his body?" Ajaw complained.
"Ajaw, with you saying it like that, the Pyro Archon definitely won't agree." Chuychu was listening and felt somewhat speechless.
To think this guy always claimed to be a great holy dragon; how could he say something this stupid?
"I think you should have Kinich seal you back up." Rios said with a smile. "And I'm not talking about the previous kind of seal that was just for show; I'm talking about sealing you back into your original body."
Ajaw was startled: "No no no, I finally got out; I absolutely don't want to be sealed again."
"Then promise me one thing." Rios said.
"What is it? Whether it's taking out Kinich or taking out someone else, I'm all in!" Ajaw said excitedly.
"Why bring up taking out Kinich again?" Rios crooked his finger, signaling the other to come closer.
Ajaw curiously floated over, then heard Rios say this to him in a low voice: "In the future, if the Traveler asks about me, you have to say as many good things about me as possible, got it?"
"Ah?" Ajaw's eyes widened in surprise, almost bulging out.
"No no no." Rios crossed his arms and said. "I'm just asking if you can do it?"
"I can do it, sure, but this request is too weird."
Ajaw muttered in a very small voice: "To actually have me say good things to that Traveler from another world; could it be that Rios, like this great holy dragon, is also vain... bah, also likes letting the ignorant know how amazing we are?"
After figuring this out, Ajaw excitedly said: "Pyro Archon, you're practically my soulmate!"
If its model wasn't a pixel dragon but a human, right now it would definitely pat Rios on the shoulder, thump Rios on the chest, and hook arms with Rios.
"What are the Pyro Archon and them talking about?"
Chuychu, who had watched the whole thing, only saw the Pyro Archon say a few words to Ajaw, and Ajaw suddenly got all excited, looking like he was treating Rios as a half-brother from a different race.
Although she didn't know what the Pyro Archon said, judging from Ajaw's actions, Ajaw must have misunderstood something.
At the same time.
Night Kingdom.
"Chasca, your spirit gun can fly on its own too?"
Not long after entering the Night Kingdom, Mualani and the others encountered an attack from Abyss monsters.
Some Abyss monsters lined up to come one by one, delivering themselves as kills.
Another portion of Abyss monsters circled in the air, launching attacks from above.
Seeing this, Chasca took out the spirit gun that could fly in the air and flung it into the sky, automatically attacking the monsters floating in the air.
"My gun has been modified by Xilonen; even without me controlling it, it can automatically attack enemies—the principle is similar to a defense tower."
"I originally thought it would take some time before it could be put to use; I didn't expect to use it now."
Chasca said with a smile.
With the modified spirit gun, in the future when encountering enemies she couldn't handle, the spirit gun could also help save others.
"That's so cool." Mualani said excitedly. "After we get out, I want Xilonen to modify one for me too."
"Mualani, be careful not to get scolded by Xilonen." Mavuika said with a smile. "When I asked Xilonen to add an auto-attack function to my Flamestrider before, she really gave me an earful."
"It was probably because Mavuika's requests were too many and annoyed Xilonen, right?" Mualani laughed heartily.
The group, having received divine power, easily eliminated the Abyss monsters.
Before long, they saw the Kaiulani they had come to rescue.
"Aunt Kaiulani, how did you take down so many Abyss monsters?"
Seeing the ground full of fallen Beast Realm Hounds, Mualani was completely stunned.
An aunt this strong really needs us to rescue her?
