Jiang Xiaofeng ignored Teppei.
Jiang Xiaofeng has already given him the power; whether he lives or dies afterward is no longer Jiang Xiaofeng's concern.
After all, bestowing power upon Teppei was merely a casual act by Jiang Xiaofeng.
Instead of watching Ying play house with the Resistance here, it would be much more interesting to go back to Mondstadt and see the battle that Spider Woman mentioned to him.
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, erasing all traces of his presence, and returned directly to Mondstadt.
Paimon, Yima, and Nuoma haven't left the city lately; they've been wandering around Mondstadt City.
Upon learning that their man's men were going to clash with the former holders of the Vision, they were incredibly excited and spread the news throughout the city. What was originally a secret known only to the Knights of Favonius became known to the entire city.
Ultimately, it even escalated into a "struggle for power."
The entire Mondstadt City will be there to watch the spectacle the next day.
After all, while the weapons and armor provided by Jiang Xiaofeng were very powerful, it was simply impossible for them to master them in just one day and one night.
Spider Woman, however, remained unconcerned and continued with her work as usual.
Jean, on the other hand, was in a state of utter chaos. After all, although there were quite a few Vision in Mondstadt, only a handful had joined the Knights of Favonius; the rest were either with the Church of Favonius or the Adventurers' Guild.
The only people the Knights of Favonius can rely on are herself, Lisa, and Noelle.
Amber and Eula stated that they would not get involved in their struggle, while Kaeya simply went back to Dawn Winery to spend his days drinking tea and reading newspapers with Crepus, planning to return to the Knights of Favonius once the storm had passed.
Klee... unless absolutely necessary, Jean would never let Klee appear.
It wasn't just because Klee's bombs were too powerful; Jean also didn't want Klee to be dragged into this conflict.
After all, although neither of them said it, it was actually a power struggle, just as the rumors were circulating.
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't care about the power distribution between the two, but the two of them did.
The Spider Woman trusted Jiang Xiaofeng completely, so she wasn't worried at all about losing.
In contrast, Qin had already arrived at the Dawn Winery.
After a great deal of effort, they finally managed to persuade Diluc to fight for them.
Diluc not only possesses the Fire Vision, but also the Void Eye given to him by Jiang Xiaofeng, making him incredibly powerful.
Jean's reason for asking Diluc to join the fight was also quite ridiculous.
"The power he offers... Hmm, I'm very interested. I'll accept."
These are Diluc's exact words.
This also tells Qin that she didn't help because of their friendship, but simply wanted to test the strength of Jiang Xiaofeng's men.
Ever since Jiang Xiaofeng took some time to entrust the Giant to Diluc's care, Diluc has tried to fight the shrunken the Giant.
The result was obvious: the Giant could ignore the power of either the Void Eye or the Vision; on the contrary, every attack from the Giant could hurt Diluc.
The Giant now lies beneath the Dawn Winery, bathing in the lava drawn from the King's Box, sleeping day after day, only waking when someone calls for him.
Diluc saw Jean off and went to the secret room in the basement of the Dawn Winery.
"Your Excellency the Giant."
The Giant slowly emerged from the lava.
"What's wrong, Diluc?"
The Giant's empty eyes stared at Diluc, and he asked.
" The King's forces are going to have a showdown with former members of the Knights of Favonius. I've come to ask if you'd like to go and watch."
After listening, the Giant spoke.
"Isn't the result obvious? The King has transformed all the Vision into Void Eye, and even their power was bestowed upon them by the King. How can they still think of resisting?"
After saying this, the Giant sank back into the lava and continued to sleep.
Diluc remained silent for a long time before leaving the secret chamber.
The next day arrived quickly.
Since news of their duel had spread throughout Mondstadt, Jean and the Spider Woman stopped hiding it and chose the plaza at the foot of the King's statue as their venue.
Jiang Xiaofeng appeared silently on his throne, leaning against the backrest, resting his chin on his hand, looking indifferent.
"The King! The King has appeared!"
"Your the King!"
" His the King is wise and mighty!"
"Great King!"
"My king! I love you!"
Qin's face grew even uglier as she watched the frenzied reactions of the onlookers.
Because, among these people, she saw a bard.
Seeing the fervent reactions of the common people below, Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, and a small stool appeared under everyone's feet.
"How can you go watch the fun without bringing a stool from home?"
"The duel is over. Take the chair back yourself, or you can leave it if you don't want it."
Jiang Xiaofeng spoke lazily, and at the same time reached out and pulled, and a green-clad bard appeared in front of Jiang Xiaofeng.
"This is a war between your followers and my followers; you should be here to watch."
Venti gave a wry smile, "No way, I don't like watching this. I just wanted to mooch a drink..."
Because a large crowd had come to watch, Diluc specially asked Charles to bring wine to sell at the event.
Venti was also hoping to sneak a free drink this time.
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.
"I didn't say there was no alcohol to drink."
With a wave of her hand, a bottle of Dandelion Wine appeared in Venti's arms.
"You should be able to stay airborne by yourself, right? Remember to stay far away, otherwise it wouldn't be good if Qin saw you and got distracted."
Venti nodded happily, clutching the bottle, then turned and disappeared.
Jean's face darkened even more as she watched Venti disappear.
If even the gods they worship have lost faith in them, is their struggle truly meaningful?
Qin remembered what Jiang Xiaofeng had once told her.
"Before absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile."
Qin finally understood why Jiang Xiaofeng had told her those words.
Because... Jiang Xiaofeng really has the ability to say such things.
Even if Jean manages to reclaim the Knights of Favonius by any means necessary, so what?
Jiang Xiaofeng could suppress it with a flick of his wrist.
even so...
Qin's gaze gradually hardened.
"Lady Vanessa, please give me courage!"
The first battle was Razor, who had been summoned by Lisa, and a former Knights of Favonius.
The armor this guy was assigned is energy absorption, and the two gauntlets have the abilities of energy shield and energy burst respectively.
Energy Shield: Powered by the Void Power, it appears as a semi-transparent black shield. Its defensive strength depends on the amount of Void Power it contains.
An energy burst can unleash the injected Void Power.
It's a simple and direct approach, but it's effective.
After all, this is only the first generation of armor and weapons that Jiang Xiaofeng handcrafted. Perhaps the next generation will feature powerful attacks like the Judgment of Shamash.
At that moment, Razor summoned his wolf spirit and attacked the knight.
The knight's name is Lawrence.
Yes, that's Lawrence, the doorman.
Since Jiang Xiaofeng scattered the monsters throughout Mondstadt, his only tasks have been questioning merchants and registering information about visitors.
This caused Lawrence, who had still held some hope for life, to resign and join Spider Woman's side, obtaining a inferior version of the Void Eye.
Once Lawrence has made enough contributions, Spider Woman will replace his Void Eye with a complete one.
Razor after the wolf spirit's power was exhausted and he had used up a lot of his own strength, Lawrence still stood tall and motionless.
"Why, are you alright?"
Razor asked, enunciating each word clearly.
Lawrence smiled smugly.
Then, the armor of the Knights of Favonius on his body slowly shattered, revealing the armor hidden under his skin, which was then released and floated on the surface of his flesh.
" Void Technology, kid!"
"Envious? What's there to envy? Your Void Eye is also a gift from the Void God!"
