"Eula, you can't say that." Jean paused for a moment, looking a little better.
"Since the residents of Mondstadt City came to me for help, it naturally means they trust me. Of course I have to do everything I can to answer their hopes."
"What trust? They only asked you because you work more efficiently than the Adventurer's Guild adventurers and don't charge them any money."
"They never considered your health at all." Eula mercilessly added.
"Eula, if anyone else hears you say that, it will damage the reputation you worked so hard to build." Jean sighed helplessly.
"Tch. Does a sinner like me even have a reputation to speak of? Let them curse me if they want. I'm used to it anyway. It's not like they can do anything to me." Eula curled her lips.
To Mondstadt City's residents, she, who bore the bloodline of the Lawrence Family, was the symbol of evil.
No matter how much effort she put in or how many Abyss Order members and monsters she killed.
As long as she carried the Lawrence Family's blood, they would turn a blind eye to all her efforts and sacrifices.
They would ruthlessly belittle and insult her, taking it for granted that everything she did was part of the Lawrence Family's conspiracy.
In a situation like this, what was the point of watching her words?
Seeing this, Jean sighed helplessly.
Although she had also made efforts regarding Eula's situation, the results had been far from ideal.
The residents of Mondstadt City deeply rejected and hated Eula.
Even though she had always diligently fulfilled her duties as captain of the Cavalry Captain and protected Mondstadt.
"Alright, leave that side to me. You're the Acting Grand Master, so you should be the one holding the main gate."
After saying that, Eula gave Jean no time to react before immediately leading the members of the Cavalry Captain toward the other side of the city wall.
Jean parted her red lips, wanting to say something, only to find that Eula had already run far away.
Helplessly, she could only remain atop the wall by the main gate.
How could she not know that Eula was worried about her health and had voluntarily taken the task upon herself?
It was just that Eula, having endured the rejection and suppression of Mondstadt's people for years, had long covered her heart in a layer of solid ice.
Every word and action of hers carried the gentleness of her true nature, yet she never lost her proud and indifferent attitude.
Simply put, she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
She acted this way to protect herself.
How could a kind young girl in the prime of her youth possibly not care about how others judged her?
Her apparent strength and sharpness were merely a sturdy coat the girl had wrapped around herself for protection.
Thinking of this, Jean silently sighed.
At the same time, the Abyss Order's offensive was gradually weakening.
It looked as if they were nearly unable to hold on.
The wild grin on Su Luo's face gradually faded when he saw this.
Using Clairvoyance, he looked toward Wang Xiaomei and the others in Dragon's Spine.
He found that they had already purified the Abyss Power within Dvalin and were riding on Dvalin's back toward Mondstadt City.
He immediately understood that, seeing how dire the situation had become, the Abyss Order intended to abandon its plan to attack Mondstadt City.
After all, Mondstadt City had called in Su Luo and the others as helpers, and the Abyss Order's monsters had no ability to fight back at all.
Even their plan involving Dvalin had failed.
There was no point in continuing to drag this out.
Naturally, they chose to retreat.
The portal formed from dark-purple energy was rapidly closing, and the monsters were no longer pouring out of it to throw away their lives.
Su Luo raised an eyebrow. He was just getting into the fight, and they wanted to run?
How could there be such a good deal in the world?
With that thought, Su Luo's mind stirred.
Golden ripples spread open before him.
A uniquely shaped "sword" slowly rose from within.
The "sword" was formed from three cylindrical sections connected together.
Its entire body was black, inscribed with ancient and mysterious dark-red patterns.
Enuma Elish: God Shattering Star, the Teyvat Abyss
When Su Luo reached out, gripped the hilt, and poured magic power into it.
The previously dim patterns instantly shone with dazzling brilliance.
Crimson light bloomed from within them.
The three cylindrical sections of the blade began spinning wildly, tearing apart the air as the gale roared.
This was the Enuma Elish from the Type-Moon world, a weapon worthy of its name that could split the world apart!
The phenomenon caused by Su Luo unleashing Enuma Elish immediately drew everyone's attention.
"What is that..." Jean stared blankly at Su Luo outside Mondstadt City, her eyes filled with shock.
At that moment, Su Luo stood in the center of the storm with Enuma Elish raised high, radiating majesty without anger.
He was like an arrogant god about to cast divine punishment upon the mortal world.
Even watching from afar, she still felt a chill run down her spine.
Not only the people within Mondstadt City, but even Venti's group returning to Mondstadt City, and the gods of Teyvat themselves, felt this world-destroying might.
Their gazes all turned toward the land of freedom, wondering what exactly had happened there.
Soon, Su Luo had finished charging his attack.
A dark-red vortex rapidly gathered at the tip of Enuma Elish.
The instant it reached its critical point, he unleashed the attack in one burst!
"Enuma Elish: God Shattering Star!" Su Luo's resounding voice rang out.
The Enuma Elish in his hand slashed down fiercely, pointing at the Abyss portal that had only recently closed.
In an instant, a crimson beam of light surged forth.
Carrying unstoppable might, it forcibly tore open the Abyss portal and crushed everything on the other side!
A moment later, the storm subsided.
Su Luo returned Enuma Elish to his Storage Space.
With a thought, he opened an Imaginary Space before himself and stepped inside before Frieren and Claudia could react.
After passing through the Imaginary Space, Su Luo found himself in a realm shrouded by dark-purple mist.
The surroundings were utterly silent, as though he had entered a dead world devoid of any living beings.
This was the world on the other side of the portal used by the Abyss Order.
The moment the Abyss Order opened the portal, he had already used the Storage Space's abilities to lock onto the coordinates on the other side.
Now, he could freely open an Imaginary Space and enter this world.
Clang!
Suddenly.
A crisp metallic clash rang out.
A golden figure launched a sudden attack at Su Luo, but it was as though Su Luo had foreseen it in advance. A Sacred Sword appeared in his hand and blocked the strike.
Seeing that the ambush had failed, the golden figure immediately pulled back.
"You're from another world? You're quite bold, daring to enter the Abyss alone." Aether's expression was somewhat grave as he fixed Su Luo with a sharp gaze.
Whether it was the strike he had just launched or the attack Su Luo had released earlier using that uniquely shaped sword, both proved that Su Luo was extremely powerful.
Even on his own home ground, he was not confident he could defeat Su Luo.
"Prince!"
Following a loud cry.
Dozens of Abyss Heralds and Abyss Lectors suddenly appeared, surrounding Aether at the center.
Then, the dark-purple mist gradually faded.
Revealing the environment around them.
Broken walls and ruins lay all around, as if this had once been a large abandoned training ground.
A large number of monsters poured out from the portals, surrounding Su Luo from all sides.
Muddy outlets could be seen everywhere, continuously spewing strange black sludge that strengthened the nearby monsters.
Making them even more savage and ferocious.
Aether waved his hand, signaling the people around him to leave.
Then he looked at Su Luo. "I don't want to be your enemy. If you leave now, I can let you depart safely."
"Oh? You don't think these little trash mobs can keep me here, do you?" Su Luo could not help laughing.
"Then what do you want? This is the Abyss. Ordinary people simply cannot remain here." Aether frowned tightly.
Within the Abyss, every living being from Teyvat would suffer erosion from the Abyss.
Only beings with greater strength and firmer wills could resist the Abyss's erosion, and even then, only temporarily.
As time passed, the power of the Abyss would sooner or later completely erode his mind.
"You said it yourself—ordinary people can't stay here. But am I an ordinary person?" Su Luo raised an eyebrow in reply.
He absolutely loved this place.
Since entering, the Super Adaptation Trait had begun automatically increasing his strength.
Although the increase was extremely slight for him now.
There was no denying that the Abyss's environment was indeed a blessed land for him.
"What exactly do you want?" Aether had a headache.
Because he sensed a feeling of closeness from Su Luo, he did not want to become enemies with him.
Otherwise, why would he waste time talking with Su Luo here?
He would have long since used force to drive Su Luo away.
Even if he might not have been able to do so.
"Take me to see Lumine. Once I've seen her, I'll naturally leave." Su Luo stated his request.
"You know Lumine?" Aether looked at Su Luo in surprise. Then his expression calmed again as he said,
"I can't meet her yet. This isn't the best time for us to reunite."
"Tch. Do you think I'm discussing this with you? I'm only informing you." Su Luo sneered.
Then his mind stirred.
In an instant, countless golden ripples appeared behind him.
Densely packed golden radiance illuminated this dark space.
Draping the gloomy Abyss in a layer of golden robes!
The next moment, large numbers of ruin machines and Clockwork Mechs from Fontaine continuously poured out of the golden ripples.
Ruin Guards, Ruin Serpents, Ruin Drakes...
