Chapter 205
But who knows if Watatsumi Island will betray us a third time?
I have been betrayed three times. (Image)
Therefore, Li Yue plans to make it impossible for Watatsumi Island to grow food forever. By controlling the food supply on Watatsumi Island, he will control Watatsumi Island population. Want to live a good life? Sure, come to Narukami Island to work and earn money to buy food! Moreover, all the shrine maidens of Sangonomiya have been brought to Narukami Island, effectively eliminating Sangonomiya altogether.
After confirming that Watatsumi Island was completely garrisoned and could not cause any trouble, Li Yue returned to Liyue.
Raiden Ei didn't return to Liyue because Lady Kitsune had woken up and needed some time to adjust. Not only did Raiden Ei not return to Liyue, but even Makoto Raiden stayed in Inazuma. After Makoto Raiden was released, he had been playing around. This time, after Lady Kitsune was resurrected, Li Yue opened the gate to return to Li Yue and also brought Makoto Raiden to Inazuma so that the Raiden sisters could have a proper reunion with Lady Kitsune.
"Not going to Fontaine."
"Huh? Why not go to Fontaine? Father, didn't you say you were going to Fontaine?"
Nahida, back in Liyue, asked Li Yue in confusion, "Before, in front of me, Li Yue told Charlotte that she would go to Fontaine, but now she says Fontaine's not going."
"It's not that we don't want to go to Fontaine, it's that we don't want to go to Fontaine now."
Li Yue stroked Nahida's head as she explained.
"We've already asked Charlotte to tell the Hydro Archon that I'll be visiting him, but we haven't told her when I'll be visiting, have we?"
"Yes, Father did not say when to visit."
Nahida nodded, recalling what Li Yue had said earlier.
"That's right, I deliberately didn't tell her when I was going to visit her."
"But Father said that the flooding in Fontaine was very serious and would endanger all the countries of Teyvat?"
Nahida was quite concerned about the danger posed by the rising waters in Fontaine to the entire country of Teyvat.
"The rising waters in Fontaine will indeed threaten all the countries in Teyvat, but it's not time yet, so we're not in a hurry."
How long will it take Blondie to get to Fontaine? Li Yue has only been in Teyvat for a few months now, why is he in such a hurry to go to Fontaine? There's still time.
"So what do we do next?"
"Let's take care of things on our own turf first."
"Things on our turf?"
Nahida was not quite sure what else was going on on her own turf.
"That's right, there are still several things going on in our territory."
Take Liyue for example. There's a super boss lurking in the wilds of Liyue. There's also a grass dragon struggling to survive in Sumeru, while there's no grass dragon in Inazuma. However, the Thunder Raiden Shogun in Inazuma hasn't rebelled yet, so we still need to wait for a Raiden Shogun to rebel so that the Makoto Raiden's timeline can complete its loop.
These three countries each have a major issue that needs to be addressed.
"Let's go, let's take care of things in Liyue first."
Based on the timeline, it should be time for the Liyue boss to make his move.
"Father, where are we going?"
"Let's go deep into the mountains of Liyue. There's a very powerful enemy waiting for us to deal with."
"Should we defeat them?"
"We don't need to defeat them. Their strength is immense. We just need to bring them back to their senses."
"Then it should be very simple for Father?"
Nahida was already very clear about Li Yue's Enma's Blade abilities, so in Nahida view, Li Yue, with Enma's Blade at his disposal, should have a very easy time dealing with the enemies on Teyvat.
"That's right. It might have been more troublesome for me before, but for me now, it's very simple."
As Li Yue spoke, she drew the Enma's Blade.
"However, considering that I am not very familiar with the terrain of Liyue, we need someone to help us lead the way."
"Lead the way?"
"That's right, we need Morax to lead the way."
Li Yue was referring to the Demon God Morax, not the ordinary person Zhongli.
"Morax?"
Nahida naturally understood Li Yue's meaning, but in her view, Morax was Zhongli, so this change of personnel made no difference.
"That's right, because the enemy we need to eliminate is closely related to the Vago Monarch Morax, so we need to ask him to lead the way."
As for Zhongli, we won't tell him yet. We'll wait until Li Yue takes care of Fat Dvalin and then brings the now-sane Fat Dvalin to Liyue Harbor to give him a big surprise!
Zhongli, come and kowtow to the Azhdaha Ruotu!
361. The Azhdaha is really fat.
"Let me lead the way?"
"That's right, I need Your Majesty to lead the way to find the Azhdaha."
At the summit of Mt. Tianheng, Morax, who had been summoned by Li Yue, was quite surprised to hear Li Yue's request.
"You're actually going to find Azhdaha? Can you tell me why?"
The Azhdaha has been sealed away and has remained silent for many years. Now, Li Yue is going to find the Azhdaha?
"Because I understand that the Azhdaha went mad due to Erosion and Erosion. Although I don't know how to deal with wear and tear, I can separate his madness from his rationality."
"Oh?"
Morax looked at Li Yue in surprise.
"I can't fix the Erosion, but I can separate its madness from its body, leaving only rational consciousness to control it. That way, the Azhdaha won't go berserk, right?"
Li Yue couldn't really solve the Erosion problem. Currently, Zhongli and the others were dealing with Erosion using skills from the Konosuba World. For example, Nahida was leveling up her purification skills in order to solve the Erosion in the future. However, she hadn't revealed her identity yet, so Li Yue could pretend not to know.
Facing the Azhdaha, without needing purification or maxing out abnormal resistance like Zhongli, Li Yue can directly use the Enma's Blade to separate its frenzied side first.
After all, in the original storyline, Azhdaha did something similar, except that in the story, Azhdaha separated his kind side, causing his crazy side to take control of his body and triggering a series of disasters. Fortunately, Old Deng and Blondie came to the rescue in time.
Since Azhdaha could separate his kind side and let his crazy side control his body, Li Yue could naturally also separate Azhdaha's crazy side and let his kind side control his body.
"Indeed, if he does as you say, even if he suffers Erosion and Erosion, he will not go mad because of it."
Li Yue's statement was agreed upon by Morax.
"I'll take you to Azhdaha right now."
After receiving approval, Morax was very happy and wanted to take Li Yue to see Azhdaha. As for the government affairs that had been suspended due to Li Yue's summons, Ganyu would have to continue to find Zhongli. However, when Li Yue asked Zhongli to kowtow to Azhdaha, Zhongli would definitely feel that it was all worth it.
The three of them came down from Mt. Tianheng and went directly to the South Heaven Gate. Although it is called the South Heaven Gate, it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Palace. It is just called the South Heaven Gate. Under the huge Dragon-Quelling Tree at the South Heaven Gate is Azhdaha's seal.
Morax was the one who implemented the seal, so he understood the seal he placed perfectly. It could be said that no one understood seals better than him.
The original seal had begun to crack due to its age, and these cracks were enough for some consciousnesses to escape. This is why Azhdaha's mad and benevolent consciousnesses were able to appear in the outside world.
However, the benevolent consciousness merged into the body of a Liyue person, while the mad consciousness transformed into a little girl who spends her days outside speaking in a language that passersby cannot understand, becoming a high-level riddle master.
"Morax!"
When Morax appeared at the sealed site beneath the Dragon-Quelling Tree, the Azhdaha Dragon within the seal clearly sensed Morax's presence, immediately widening its eyes and beginning to the Roar within the seal.
"It seems that Azhdaha already knows we are here. Let's go in and see him."
Hearing the Roar of the sealed inner Azhdaha, Morax couldn't help but smile.
He directly raised his hand and broke his seal. Next, Li Yue could restore Azhdaha, so the external seal would no longer matter. He believed that Li Yue could succeed in one go because Li Yue possessed the magical power of the Enma's Blade, which even Azhdaha, the Elemental Dragon King, could not resist.
"Let's go see Azhdaha."
Seeing the gate unsealed, Li Yue patted Nahida's head and then followed Morax inside with Nahida in tow.
Within the vast sealed space, there was a square formation of eight rock ridges that drew up a golden light curtain, and inside this huge light curtain was a giant fat turtle.
Although it has two huge pointed horns on its head, unfortunately, in Li Yue's opinion, it really doesn't look like a dragon king, but rather like a giant turtle, because Azhdaha is really too fat and looks just like an alligator snapping turtle in real life.
The large, fat Azhdaha started shouting wildly after seeing Morax enter the sealed space.
"Morax!"
Although he hasn't separated his fan yet, Azhdaha immediately entered berserk mode when he saw Morax.
The berserk Azhdaha moved his fat body and forcefully broke free from the light barrier, shattering all the surrounding rock ridges.
After the eight rock ridges were broken open, Azhdaha was immediately freed.
"It's really big."
Looking at the Roar Azhdaha, Li Yue couldn't help but sigh.
"During the Archon War, Azhdaha was Liyue's strongest fighting force. Even I couldn't fight against him."
Morax immediately began to praise Azhdaha.
"The reason why we were able to seal Azhdaha was that he himself came here voluntarily after regaining his sanity so that we could seal him. Without his help, we would not have been able to seal him at all."
Azhdaha is an elemental life form born from the aggregation of Geo Element. As long as Teyvat exists and Elemental Power remains, he will not die. Compared to the Demon God, he is inherently more powerful.
"It's alright, we won't need to seal him later."
As Li Yue spoke, she drew her Enma's Blade.
"Your Majesty, could you please help Azhdaha temporarily reduce his mobility?"
Although the Enma's Blade can be separated, it is only possible if the enemy does not move too violently. The current state of the Azhdaha clearly indicates that he is not the kind of creature that will not move around.
"No problem, but I can only suppress it temporarily."
The power Morax used even came from Li Yue's Reiatsu. Against an elemental creature like Azhdaha, who could exist forever as long as the Ley Lines existed, the suppression he could achieve was definitely limited.
"Just a short while will be enough."
Morax raised his hands and gripped them tightly against the moving Azhdaha.
Two rock ridges appeared, lit up, and transformed into a huge shield, protecting Azhdaha in the middle.
A shield can protect a person, or it can restrict them!
Seeing that Zhongli had temporarily subdued Azhdaha, Li Yue immediately brandished the Enma's Blade and rushed forward. Right in front of Azhdaha, she jumped onto Azhdaha's head, then gripped the Enma's Blade in reverse and plunged it directly into Azhdaha's head!
362. The Seal of Azhdaha is Released
As it turned out, the Azhdaha was more troublesome than any of the troubles Li Yue had encountered before.
Because in Teyvat, among the opponents Li Yue has encountered so far, the Azhdaha is the strongest.
Although Morax agreed to help Li Yue control the Azhdaha, when Li Yue reached Azhdaha's head and plunged his knife in, Azhdaha immediately broke free from Morax's control and began shaking his head wildly. This made it very difficult for Li Yue, who was standing on Ruoduo's head, to maintain his balance. It was already difficult to stand on Azhdaha's head, and with the shaking, it became even more difficult.
"Morax!"
Li Yue couldn't help but shout at Morax, "What happened to controlling Azhdaha?!"
"I'm sorry, I tried my best to control it."
Morax realized he had made a mistake in control and quickly clenched his fists. The huge rock ridges reappeared, this time six in total, surrounding Azhdaha. However, this did not stop Azhdaha from moving.
"I'm sorry, Azhdaha."
Morax, finding that this still didn't stop Azhdaha, conjured numerous rock spears in the sky. With a wave of Morax's hand, the massive rock spears exploded into Azhdaha's limbs, pinning him to the ground. One Azhdaha spear even pierced Azhdaha's neck, nailing his enormous head to the ground as well.
"Morax!"
With his Azhdaha Wrath shouted at Morax, but Morax did not hesitate at all. He controlled the rock spear with all his might, controlling Azhdaha 'Azhdaha movements without harming him.
"Hold on a little longer."
Li Yue left with a single sentence and focused on plunging the Enma's Blade into Azhdaha's head. Because this was a more complicated case, unlike his previous non-invasive treatments, Li Yue now used the real blade to stabilize his body.
A knife suddenly pierced Azhdaha's head. Even as an elemental being, Ruoduo felt pain and tried to scream, but Li Yue immediately created a rock spear and pinned Azhdaha's head to the ground.
"You'd better behave yourself!"
While gritting his teeth and controlling Azhdaha, Li Yue controlled the Enma's Blade and began searching for the attributes within Azhdaha's body.
After searching for a short while, the mad part of Azhdaha's body was found. It was so easy to find that it was obvious that Azhdaha himself had intentionally placed his attributes in the wind, so it was easy to find.
He used the Enma's Blade to unleash the madness directly, without holding back at all, and threw it onto the ground beside him.
The dark consciousness landed on the ground, Morax immediately raised his hand, using two rock ridges to surround the dark consciousness, which then transformed into a golden seal to seal it away.
As Li Yue separated the mad part, Azhdaha stopped moving. Its eyes, which had turned red due to madness, returned to orange. Its rationality returned, or rather, rationality prevailed over its remaining emotions.
"Morax".
He called out Morax again, but this time Morax sound was very gentle.
