Before Alhaitham could come up with a solution, Nahida pulled Abyss Lumine away from the Grand Bazaar and onto the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Nahida looked at Abyss Lumine and said, "Their power will never be enough to deal with that artificial god."

"So, I might need your help..."

Just as Nahida and Abyss Lumine their battle plan, the Scaramouche suddenly led the Shouki no Kami away from directly above the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

The Shouki no Kami, which was stuffed into the Great Sage by the Doctor as its power core, did not have Scaramouche as its control core.

Therefore, this Shouki no Kami, although possessing divine power, lacks the wisdom and thinking ability that a god should have.

No, it should be said that this enormous mech could only act on instinct.

Possessing divine power, yet lacking divine name.

Scaramouche hate this kind of god even more.

Above Chinvat Ravine.

The Scaramouche wielded his katana, precisely destroying various joints of the Shouki no Kami before him.

" The Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom was created using my power, yet you dare to try and use my power against me?"

The Scaramouche ' eyes gradually hardened. "Who gave you the courage!"

The strength of the Scaramouche doesn't solely rely on the Shouki no Kami; don't forget the Void God's Heart within Scaramouche!

" Setsuna Shoumetsu."

"I'll use this trick to send you to your death."

The Scaramouche remembered the Rebirth service that Hu Tao had mentioned when they were wandering around Liyue, and immediately put it to use.

The Scaramouche raised his katana high, pointing it towards the sky.

" The Doctor, watch carefully."

"This is your work. I can eliminate him without Jiang Xiaofeng even lifting a finger!"

Purple lightning pierced through the clouds, and a huge ball of Electro light condensed within the clouds.

The dark, heavy clouds looked as if they were soaked with water, as if they were about to fall to the ground.

The Shouki no Kami did not have any awareness before his death; instead, he tirelessly released meteors in an attempt to injure the Scaramouche.

Pyro and Hydro were layered together by Anemo, and countless meteors crashed down, but for the size of the Scaramouche, it was like drawing an outline.

However, the Shouki no Kami's target was clearly not the Scaramouche.

Instead, it's the Chinvat Ravine below.

The distance Chinvat Ravine and Sumeru City is only a hillside. If Chinvat Ravine is extensively destroyed, not only will the Ley Line energy be affected, but even the wild beasts in Chinvat Ravine will not be at peace.

The Scaramouche watched coldly Chinvat Ravine below was cratered and filled with black smoke from the bombardment by the Shouki no Kami, before flying directly into the clouds.

Farewell, Shouki no Kami.

The Scaramouche gently swung his katana downwards, and the Setsuna Shoumetsu was released by the Scaramouche in human form.

The Shouki no Kami, Evil Radiance, Falls!

Faced with attacks from Scaramouche, the Shouki no Kami chose to confront them head-on!

After all, the Shouki no Kami has extremely high damage output, but his main body is incredibly fragile.

The battle is over.

Scaramouche watched the clash between the Shouki no Kami's attack and their own Setsuna Shoumetsu, their katana dissipated, and they turned to leave.

The outcome was exactly as the Scaramouche had predicted.

The Shouki no Kami was no match for the scattered Scaramouche firing at full power and was blasted into dust.

The head of the Shouki no Kami crashed to the ground, and the cracked control room was empty.

The Great Sage was infused with the Void Power, which provided the energy for the Shouki no Kami to move.

In order to resist the final blow from the Scaramouche, the Great Sage's Void Power was completely exhausted. In order to protect himself, the Shouki no Kami awakened the Great Sage and then absorbed all of him.

Unfortunately, that's a pity.

Void Power provided by the Doctor as an energy source couldn't stop the attacks of the Scaramouche. What could a mere Great Sage possibly do with the energy he provided?

It only allows the Shouki no Kami to hold out for a mere second longer.

Feeling the destruction caused by the Shouki no Kami, the Scaramouche did not rush to leave Chinvat Ravine, but instead sent the five taiko drums behind them flying out.

The taiko flew above the damaged God of the Shouki no Kami Shouki no Kami and collected its remains.

At this moment, Nahida and Abyss Lumine arrived at the scene.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!"

Nahida quickly stopped the Scaramouche from moving.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the Scaramouche, a black, humanoid creature was pulled out from the head of the Shouki no Kami by Nahida.

"This is... the Void?"

The Scaramouche looked at the object, unsure of what to do.

Nahida nodded, then shook her head.

"This is a product born from the fusion of the Akasha Terminal and the Void Power within the Great Sage."

In reality, it was just a Void creature.

But Nahida has never seen her before.

Although Abyss Lumine was imprisoned in the Void for a long time, it only moved around in the Mechanical City and never went to the Void Sea on the other side, so it never saw Void creatures.

Needless to say, the Scaramouche were in a coma from the moment they were imprisoned in the Void until they emerged.

Therefore, the three of them discussed the question of whether to keep or leave the Void creature.

The Scaramouche believed that since this was Void, it should either be left for Jiang Xiaofeng, or he could use the Void God's Heart to devour it.

Nahida believes it's all the Akasha Terminal's fault, and she wants to resurrect this Void creature, who is suspected to be a Great Sage, so he can atone for his sins.

And the Abyss Lumine?

She suggested finding the Collector to find a way to get rid of the item.

Just as the three were arguing about the fate of the Void creature, Sumeru was invaded yet again.

This time, it was still an Harbinger, " The Doctor ".

In the center of Sanctuary of Surasthana.

" Void."

"It's a really good thing, in every way."

Dottore held an Void Eye in his palm and spoke calmly.

"Sir, the Akasha Terminal has been adjusted."

The Doctor nodded. "Go back and await my orders."

"Yes."

The debt collector appeared like a ghost, and then vanished just as quickly.

The Doctor stood where the Lesser Lord Kusanali had once been imprisoned, feeling the power of the Dendro Archon.

"A sense of wisdom..."

Beneath the mask, the Doctor slowly closed his eyes, sensing the aura of the Dendro Archon emanating from the Sanctuary of Surasthana...

"We can begin."

The Doctor gave the order.

In an instant, everyone wearing the Akasha Terminal, regardless of what they were doing, stopped moving.

The Resistance in the Grand Bazaar, along with several named individuals, quickly noticed the anomaly.

Most of the people in the Grand Bazaar worshipped Jiang Xiaofeng's statue and obtained the Void Eye, so the Akasha Terminal was destroyed by the power released by the Void Eye the moment it malfunctioned.

Just like Alhaitham, he was perfectly fine.

Dehya didn't carry that thing around often, so she wasn't affected.

As for Dunyarzad... she has been a believer in the Void ever since her Eleazar was cured, so naturally she is unharmed.

When Cyno left Sumeru City, he removed the Void, so he was naturally not controlled by the Akasha Terminal.

So, there's only one option...

Dehya helped Nilou up and quickly carried Nilou to the front of the King's statue, shouting to the OMO crowd nearby, "What are you standing there for? Come and help!"

The others then realized what was happening and quickly guided Nilou to bow twice to the King's statue.

Soon, an Void Eye appeared, shattering the Akasha Terminal beside her ear and hanging on Nilou's chest.

"What... are you doing?"
