Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

In this bustling city, no one could have predicted the outcome of this highly anticipated confrontation.

When the referee announced that the Liyue team had forfeited, everyone in the Zhidong lounge was stunned in disbelief.

The doctor's eyes slid towards Pandrino, who remained aloof. This was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face.

Not long ago, the CEO had confidently declared that his foresight was correct, and he asserted to Pucciniella: "You'd better give up, because you will only die in vain."

However, Pucciniella was unmoved and really went on stage, but he did not die, but the opponent gave up. This scene was extremely embarrassing for Pandrino, who had just made a confident prediction.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was secretly groaning in his heart.

The Liyue team had no reason to admit defeat. After all, Princess Ying would be the next to appear in the next round, and her appearance meant victory was guaranteed.

However, Liyue chose the most puzzling way to deal with it, which was to give up directly.

There must be... someone must have seen through my foresight and taken countermeasures?

Looking at Pucciniella who returned with a confused expression, Pandrino seemed to realize this as well.

There is nothing you can do to change your destiny, especially when you know what is going to happen.

Experienced fortune tellers know how to use various means to trigger chain reactions and significantly change the final outcome.

"Hey! Pandrino, what's going on? Why did the other party suddenly give up?"

While Pandrino was thinking, Pucciniella returned angrily. He had intended to fight hard to prove that he was not at the mercy of fate.

However, the battle did not end as the other side simply surrendered and retreated, which made him feel very aggrieved.

"…Someone must have cracked my foresight and actively changed the trajectory of the future."

"Change the trajectory of the future? You mean..."

"From now on, the future becomes uncertain and neither of them can necessarily win."

As he spoke, Pandrino glanced at the last two executives who looked confused: "Master" Pettarona in the seventh seat, and "Doctor" Dotter in the third seat.

They are the contestants in the next nine and tenth games.

In Pandrino's prediction, these two would win and push the game to the final moment.

But now the future is full of variables, and the situation that was originally sure to win has also become unstable.

"Don't worry, Master Pendrino. Even without foreknowledge, we will win the final victory."

Seeing Pandrino's serious expression, Petalona was the first to straighten his back and make a promise.

Pettarona is a middle-aged man with an elegant aristocratic style, just like his title "Master".

He wore gloves and a rose on his chest, which contrasted sharply with the icy environment of the Kingdom of Winter.

Even so, no one doubted the strength of the seventh executive officer.

And this "master" did not believe that foreknowledge could determine the outcome of a battle.

Strength is the key, and victory or defeat is determined by power, especially now that almost all of Liyue’s top powerhouses have appeared.

Petalona firmly believes that no one can defeat him.

"That's all we can do...Listen, you have to win at least one game, understand?"

Pendrino sighed and addressed the two suddenly vital executives.

Currently there are four draws and four losses, with three games left, and either side will win if they win two games.

If they lose both the ninth and tenth games, the "Vulcan God Enbu Festival" will be over.

Even if Pandrino is stronger, the eleventh game will not appear.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

At this time, the signal indicating that the ninth game was about to begin was transmitted to the locker room.

"It's my turn... let me win this match beautifully."

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the "master" walked towards the arena passage with graceful steps.

He has an upright figure and a firm and confident look in his eyes, like a hunter about to tame a dragon.

In another lounge, the sleeping Dragon King slowly got up.

Liyue’s ninth contestant is Beidou, the “Uncrowned Dragon King”.

As the leader of the armed escort team walked towards the passage, he turned back and looked at Li Mochen and Ningguang.

"Don't worry, I will definitely win this game."

Leaving these words behind, Beidou walked steadily towards the passage.

A man and a woman, a noble gentleman and a sea overlord.

When the two contestants came on stage, the audience's nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Finally there is a normal game to watch.

What happened to those plane crashes and the opening abandonment?

However, as the Seventh Executor stepped onto the ring, he looked at Beidou and shook his head.

"It's sad. It's so sad."

"……What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is that you are a beautiful woman, but you are wearing a rough battle robe and wielding a huge weapon that is not worthy of you. It is really sad and lamentable."

Facing Beidou who was holding the "Black Rock Slasher" and ready to fight, Petalona shook his head again.

If a woman were mocked like this, she would probably fly into a rage.

But Beidou was not an ordinary woman, she smiled brightly.

"You will soon find out whether this great sword is not suitable for me."

As the big sister, Beidou doesn't care much about other people's opinions.

Especially for a defeated general like Petalona... who is about to fall by the sword.

"Ninth match! Beidou from Liyue and Petalona from Zhidong. Are the players ready?"

"You can start anytime."

"Yes, me too."

"Very good, let the game begin!"

Following the referee's command, the battle that will determine the fate of "Liyue" and "Winter" began again.

At the referee's command, instead of launching an attack immediately, both sides stayed where they were, breaking the routine.

Most players would choose to attack aggressively, but Beidou and Petalona are different.

"Ladies first, please go first." Pettarona bowed slightly with an urban hipster smile on his face.

“No need to be so polite. I have seen more ups and downs than you, a pretentious gentleman. So you go first.” Beidou, a tough guy fighting in the urban jungle, never loses in a verbal battle.

However, Petalona's slightly sarcastic humility made Beidou feel that he was being looked down upon, and he was reluctant to take the first step in order to avoid appearing to be indebted to him.

Hearing this, Petalona covered his face with his hands and pretended to be hurt.

"Don't you even know how to appreciate the manners of a gentleman? You are indeed a rough man from the countryside."

"Xiangye...you mean Liyue?"

"That's right. Liyue lacks gentleman traditions and has poor taste in clothing. How can it not be considered rural?" Pettarona flicked the brooch on his chest and put on a noble attitude. From his point of view, he did have the capital to show his gentlemanly demeanor.

After all, Petalona was born into a rare thousand-year-old family in winter, and he has been a noble since childhood.

The label of "gentleman" has been with him since he was born.

As a gentleman, the most important thing is demeanor, the kind of "demeanor" that can convince others.

And this "demeanor" comes from one's words, actions, manners, and clothing.

Therefore, in Pettarona's eyes, those people in Liyue who were dressed strangely had no idea what elegance and gentlemanliness were, they were just country bumpkins.

Faced with such ridicule, Beidou's face remained expressionless with no trace of anger, and his eyes even revealed a hint of mockery as if he was looking at a clown.

“…Really? Are you so confident that you can let me attack first?” She raised the “Black Rock Slasher” casually and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Of course, as a gentleman, what's wrong with letting you attack first three times?" Seeing that Beidou was willing to attack first, a smile flashed across Petalona's lips.

He wanted Beidou to attack first, not out of true gentlemanliness, but simply because he felt that this would increase the chances of winning and would be more advantageous to the battle situation.

According to intelligence, Beidou's killer move is "Defense Counterattack Technique. Catching Waves" - first defend, accumulate the enemy's power in the sword, then suddenly swing the sword, combined with a lightning strike, to destroy the enemy.

When fighting Beidou, it is obviously more advantageous to strike back first, so as to avoid being hit in the face by her rebounding sword, and to find the flaw when she attacks and kill her instantly.

Hehehe, I am really a master of tactics.

Seeing that Beidou seemed to be preparing to attack, Petalona seemed to see the goddess of victory waving at him.

"One sword is enough."

"...What did you say?" However, Beidou suddenly said something strange.

"What I mean is, I only need one sword to kill you, you don't need to use three moves."

The whole audience was shocked when this was said. Petalona, ​​who knew Beidou's background, was so angry that he sneered.

Are you kidding me? You, who are good at rebounding, said you can kill me with one sword?

I won't take the initiative to attack, allowing you to accumulate strength to rebound. How do you plan to kill me instantly?

"Humph, you don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. If you can kill me with one sword, I will write my name upside down."

"...Get ready, I'm going to draw my sword." Beidou raised the "Black Rock Slasher" and took a defensive stance.

Suddenly, a powerful magical power surged in her body.

Immortal Saint Armor. Dragon Crown. Liberation!

A magical power as thick as an ocean wave rose into the sky from Beidou's "dragon crown", forming a giant thunder dragon, looking down on the world.

In an instant, thunder and lightning appeared, and the violent magical power almost turned the arena into a lightning net.

The elemental force is strong, but it doesn’t matter, I can still withstand such power.

Seeing Beidou directly activate the "Immortal Saint Armor", Petalona on the opposite side quickly released the "Demon King Armor. Divine Wind".

Petalona's elemental attribute and evil eye attribute are both "wind", which complements his gentlemanly demeanor.

The strong wind elemental force formed a protective shield around him, blocking most attacks.

Very good, that's all right. No matter how she swings the sword, it will only be this good.

Petalona raised his gentleman's one-handed sword, ready to block the opponent's attack, with a confident smile on his face.

However, the next second, the smile of this northern gentleman froze.

Roar! The Thunder Dragon roared fiercely, and a sharp bolt of lightning shot straight at the ring.

But the attack did not go towards Petalona, ​​but towards Beidou's sword.

Squeak! Lightning entered the sword, making a crisp sound.

Catch the wave. Charge level 50%.

At the same time, the sword in Beidou's hand became heavy.

Wait? Is this guy...

Roar! Before Petalona could react, the dragon sent out another sharp bolt of lightning.

Swoosh! Lightning struck the sword again, the sound even louder than before.

Catch the wave. Charge level 100%.

In an instant, Beidou's sword became heavier.

With two consecutive attacks coming at them, everyone realized what Bokuto was up to.

The counterattack skill "Catch the Wave" requires enduring attacks to accumulate strength.

Since the enemy does not take the initiative to attack, just attack yourself. The effect will be the same anyway.

Roar! Petalona stared in astonishment as three bolts of lightning struck Beidou's "Black Rock Slasher" one after another.

Catch the waves. Charging level... 250%, draw the sword!

In a flash, Beidou's "Elemental Combat Skill. Catching Waves" accumulated to its maximum power.

The new Dragon King swung a fatal sword!

The huge lightning blade seemed to extend a hundred meters in an instant, tearing the sky and the earth apart.

A sword light powerful enough to split the devil in two slashed down, covering Petalona!
