Dealing with an Archon Was Easier Than a Love Triangle

The Gods Osial is the most suitable among the Demon Gods that Bai Ye currently knows.

First of all, He is Gods, and powerful enough to withstand the various Art of Automata attacks that I experimented on Him.

There won't be a situation where I unleash a few attack moves and then die before I've had my fill. That would be too inappropriate for me to properly test my strength.

Secondly, His power isn't that great yet. Right now, Liyue still has ways to prevent Him from affecting them, and the danger is within a controllable range. Furthermore, He is currently sealed, making it even easier for Him to act independently.

Finally, there's one last thing.

Bai Ye wanted to see Osial was really thinking, to know what kind of Gods he truly was.

In the previous life, whenever Osial was mentioned, it was always associated with the image of a Gods who attempted to destroy Liyue Harbor. This Gods was sealed away at the cost of the Jade Chamber.

But there are many more things that no one cares about.

After absorbing the powers of these Gods, Bai Ye also wanted to experience their emotions and thoughts.

Perhaps their actions were all wrong, but Bai Ye also wanted to experience them all.

Only in this way can we be worthy of the power and ability we have borrowed from them.

This is also for the sake of taking on greater responsibilities in the future.

Zhongli's words were not false; the Abyss he was about to face was far more difficult and had many more enemies than the demons he had faced in the war against the Gods Zhongli.

Looking at Bai Ye's expression, Hu Tao immediately realized what he was thinking.

"Judging from your expression, it seems you intend to deal with our enemies?"

"Yes. It is."

When Bai Ye heard Hu Tao say that, he smiled and nodded.

"I might be facing a living demon Gods."

"A living demon Gods? Hey, that's way too difficult!" Even someone as confident as Hu Tao felt this was highly improbable. She waved her hand and quickly said to Bai Ye, "Could we switch to a weaker demon character? For example... how about Rosalyn?"

After much deliberation, the most suitable candidate is still the La Signora.

"Forget it, Rosalyn is so good, she can practice for a few more years. This time, I'm only saying this because I'm absolutely confident in dealing with the Gods."

Bai Ye quickly waved his hand.

We still need to do what a human being should do.

"Oh my, so confident in your arm?" Hu Tao squinted at Bai Ye and said. Then, she stretched her body.

"So, when should we set off to take a look?"

Well, we should always be prepared before we talk about it.

Bai Ye answered Hu Tao.

It's always better to prepare things more thoroughly.

We need to have more teammates to continue the operation.

"You want me to go to Guyun Domain with you again?"

On the Wangshu Inn, Xiao looked at Bai Ye, who was about the same height as him, with a slightly puzzled tone.

"Um."

Xiao was the first person Bai Ye wanted to find before he was about to deal with Osial.

It would be best to have someone with strong abilities and ample experience in dealing with the Archon Residue to help you.

"Hmm, I'd like to acquire some more Gods powers. I remember, Osial was sealed there, right?"

Bai Ye explained his own identity as Xiao and Xiao clearly.

There is no point in hiding it from Xiao.

"You want to deal with Osial?" Xiao was quite surprised to hear Bai Ye's words. Osial was only sealed away, unlike the other Gods who had all died in battle and become Archon Residue.

"Hmm... I recently developed the 'Tempered Weapon'."

Bai Ye told Xiao about how he had fused the powers of five Gods together to create a mechanism.

"Is that so?" Xiao pondered for a moment, then said to Bai Ye Yeyu, "Then, I'll come find you in a couple of days, and we'll set off again after that."

Bai Ye knew that Xiao Yan was planning to discuss this with Zhongli, and he was naturally happy to see that they would be safer.

"Good."

Thus, a second teammate appeared to deal with Osial.

Next, it's time to find a third teammate. After Bai Ye and Hu Tao return to Liyue Harbor, they will go to the Liyue Harbor embassy.

There are also two people living over there, Albedo and Klee, who are from Mondstadt.

Klee became very happy when she saw Bai Ye, and immediately ran to Bai Ye and Hu Tao. Behind her, her little schoolbag swayed back and forth with her movements.

"Brother Bai Ye, Brother Bai Ye, and Sister Hu Tao, you came to see us so soon?"

"Well, I'll come over as soon as I'm done over there."

Bai Ye was still a little embarrassed when he said this. It wasn't wrong of him to come back and look for them, but Bai Ye and Hu Tao came with ulterior motives.

Albedo, watching from the side, immediately understood what Bai Ye was thinking.

"Bai Ye, if there's anything you need help with, just tell us. I'll do everything I can to help."

"This time, I don't need your help. Rather—"

Bai Ye turned his gaze to the Klee, Keli, who was standing beside him, and said, "I plan to create some traps and mechanisms, and I intend to place some lethal methods within these mechanisms."

"Brother Bai Ye wants me to come and help? Sure, sure, I'm willing to help Brother Bai Ye."

Klee was very happy to hear that she could help Bai Ye.

"Hmm... Bai Ye, what are you planning to do?" Albedo didn't immediately ask, but cautiously inquired who Bai Ye intended to target with the Bouncy Bomb. If it were to target another country, Albedo wouldn't let Klee do it.

Bai Ye explained to Albedo, "I am here to deal with the Gods god."

"Oh."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Albedo hesitated.

"Don't worry, we are prepared."

"Then let's do it together."

"Good."

There was no way that Bai Ye was unwilling to deal with.

So, this time the team consisted of two more people.

In the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli was standing on the roof admiring the moon, and beside him, a crane flew in with a huge bundle in its beak.

Then the crane shook, Cloud Retainer appeared in human form beside Zhongli, carrying the bundle in his hand.

Seeing that several people were about to empty her immortal abode's Art of Automata materials, Zhongli couldn't help but smile.

"I saw her."

"Her?" Cloud Retainer was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized who Zhongli was talking about.

She asked Zhongli somewhat impatiently:

"She has something to tell us."

"No."

Zhongli shook his head.

"No!?"

Cloud Retainer was getting a little upset. "We've been thinking about you for thousands of years, and you can't possibly not think about us at all."

"She is now just a remnant of her soul, and almost all of her memories Erosion away."

"Huh!? Is that so?"

This time, all of Cloud Retainer's anger turned into heartache.

She felt sorry for her friend, and also for Little Bai Ye, who could only rely on her old friend whose memories Erosion and whose soul was remnant.

I wish I could hold him in my arms and comfort him.

Xiao Shu appeared beside him.

"Your the Geo Archon, Bai Ye plans to invite Osial to test the power of his mechanical device."

"Oh." Zhongli nodded, seemingly not very surprised.

Meanwhile, Cloud Retainer, who was on the other side, made no attempt to hide his surprise.

"Using Osial for experiments?! His Art of Automata are that advanced? No, without long-term preparation of large-scale Guizhong Machine weapons, it's simply impossible. Unless—"

"Bai Ye uses the power of the Gods god in Art of Automata."

She immediately understood what Bai Ye had done.

This is Art of Automata unique to Bai Ye.

Its power is immense, making it the envy of many.

"It's only because it's Bai Ye I'm jealous. If it were anyone else, I would definitely be jealous."

"Cloud Retainer thought to himself."

"Yes, Bai Ye is indeed planning to use this method to deal with the Gods Osial."

Xiao nodded.

"In that case, you should go with Bai Ye. Osial should also be freed as soon as possible."

Zhongli gave instructions to Xiao.

Bai Ye obtaining Osial's power, he will absorb all of Gods's power and then use his own power to return Oser's power to the sea to maintain stability outside Liyue Harbor.

This way, He can be completely freed.

While Zhongli was considering this, Xiao clasped his hands and said earnestly, "Yes, Your the Geo Archon, I will work with Bai Ye to kill Osial."

"I'm going to go and see too. If Xiao and Bai Ye can't do it, I'll come from behind to help them kill Osial."

Cloud Retainer also said the same thing to Zhongli Dao.

The first day,

The five of them—Yuya, Xiao, Kurumi, and Klee Abedo—chartered a boat to go to Guyun Pavilion.

This time, instead of the Beidou ship, Bai Ye and the others randomly picked a seemingly reliable ship at Liyue Harbor and prepared to go there.

"Let me tell you, although my ship is not as big as the Dead Star, it is no worse than others. You will definitely not make a mistake by boarding my ship."

Although the ship owner was from Liyue, he hadn't spent much time in Liyue Harbor, so Xiao and Bai Ye didn't recognize him. All they knew was that Hu Tao was the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, so he was currently bragging to Bai Ye and the others.

Bai Ye laughed and dealt with the situation.

Then they made final preparations on the deck, while Xiao stood to the side as if waiting for someone.

"Xiao, are any others coming?"

"Bai Ye," said Ye.

"Hmm..." Xiao nodded, then wanted to explain the Cloud Retainer, but before he could speak, he saw Cloud Retainer coming over.

Let her explain.

Social anxiety hasn't improved much, though I can breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Cloud Retainer and came over. Behind her, there were two other figures.

"Captain," said Bai Ye to the ship owner. "We have more people coming over."

"You guys are talking nonsense, we need to pay you..." The boat owner saw that there were still people coming over from Bai Ye's side, and immediately planned to pay them.

The ship owner had barely finished speaking when he saw Gan Ganyu behind Cloud Retainer.

"No, it's nothing."

Of all people, we can't give money to Ganyu.

"No, according to the contract, it's what it should be."

Although Bai Ye is generous, she would never rely on the power of others to oppress others.

"Uh-huh."

After receiving the money, the boat owner immediately began preparing for the final pre-departure work.

"Bai Ye, it's been so long." Ganyu looked at Bai Ye with excitement.

"Kindness."

Bai Ye nodded.

When Hu Tao saw Ganyu and Shenhe, especially Shenhe, she felt a deep sense of crisis.

I have to keep a close eye on Bai Ye, otherwise those two might just carry Bai Ye away.

Klee looked at Ganyu, then at Shenhe, and finally at Hu Tao.

Klee knows nothing about it.

She decided to stay away to avoid accidental injury.

The three seemed to be putting up a showdown, but it vanished in an instant.

Ganyu glanced at Bai Ye, then immediately shyly looked away. Standing next to her, Shenhe seemed to notice that the tips of her horns were turning slightly red.

However, she still earnestly said to Bai Ye, "Um, Bai Ye, when are you coming to the Yuehai Pavilion to take over your work? We've been transferred to your jurisdiction."

"Huh? We still have work to do!"

Bai Ye had absolutely no desire to work.

Looking at Bai Ye again, Ganyu whispered, "Well, it's okay not to work. But you have to show up."

"Yes, I can handle all your work."

Shenhe also responded.

With her hands on her hips, Hu Tao said defiantly, "Hey, hey, Bai Ye has other things to do, so he definitely can't just go to the Yuehai Pavilion. He has to go to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to serve as Guest Official."

It's enough to just show your face; the work of Guest Official can be delegated to another Guest Official.

"Bai Ye, what do you think?"

Shenhe asked Bai Ye.

"Me? I'm not going anywhere. I want to focus on studying the Gods. Our most important task right now is to face Osial."

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye realized that Osial was still the gentler one.

Hu Tao and Ganyu both relaxed when they saw this.

"By the way, Bai Ye, are you well prepared for facing Osial next?"

Ganyu asked him questions.

"Yes, it's almost ready."

When Ganyu heard Bai Ye's answer, she understood what was going on.

These guys, if they really went all out, could fight Osial head-on, let alone prepare in advance.

As long as you don't look at the Bai Ye while you're fighting, it'll be fine.

Ganyu stood behind Bai Ye and thought to herself.

That being said,

To avoid having to look at Bai Ye during the battle later, should I take a good look at her beforehand?

As Ganyu was thinking this, she noticed that Shenhe was already watching directly.

After a few hours, they arrived at Guyun Domain. Ganyu and Xiao led them to the place where Osial was sealed.

"This is it."

Ganyu said to the seaside.

"Kindness."

Bai Ye nodded, then turned to the others and said:

"Um, this is my plan..."

Bai Ye explained his plan, and then everyone began to take action.

Osial felt the pressure on his body lessen considerably.

In a daze,

He regained some consciousness.

Is it possible for me to move around now?

Then, He opened His eyes.

Seeing the sky and the sea for the first time feels really nice!

Then, He noticed a group of people watching Him.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

I've been sealed away for so long, is there anyone still willing to follow me?

Osial thought to himself.
