Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"Calibel is awake?!" Ed's surprise disappeared, "No, that's not Caliber!"

There was a silk scarf tied around Kaliber's wrist, which was a gift from Ed to Kaliber's mother. After she died, Ed took the scarf off her neck and tied it around his son's wrist.

Those hill people were not interested in anything and just walked firmly in one direction.

Something unusual happened, and Sora and Ed hurriedly followed the footsteps of the Hilliards.

Paimon: "Sounds a bit like the Hilichurls we encountered in Stratum Chasm."

A dying Hill Chow will instinctively seek a quiet, dark place to wait for death to come.

Sora: "Unlike that, the Hillilians this time look young and healthy."

Kong and Ed followed the Hilichurls to the cave, deep inside the cave was an abandoned underground temple.

Countless Hill people knelt on the ground, bowed their heads every few steps, and moved forward slowly and devoutly.

Su was speechless, "...cult?" It seemed that the Abyss Cult had appeared.

Sora and Ed took some time to get to the deepest part, which contained an upside-down palace.

Dainsleb: "When we last met, the room with the upside-down pool of water in the Abyss..." The two buildings must be related.

An Abyss Apostle who claimed to be the Keeper of Secrets came out to stop Kong's exploration. Kong defeated him and was about to appease Ed who was hiding on the side, but Ed excitedly asked Kong, "What exactly is this perfect life form?"

Su's head was full of question marks. "Is he crazy? What kind of aesthetics is this?"

The head of the Apostle of the Abyss looks almost like a mantis + grasshopper, and it calls itself a "perfect life form". What a psycho!

Kong also felt that the other party had unique tastes, but he also understood the real reason. "He must be fascinated by the power of the Apostle of the Abyss. Compared to the external beauty or ugliness, he is more moved by that wonderful power."

After dealing with the Abyss Apostle guarding the gate, Kong and Ed pushed open the heavy door and arrived at the core of the ruins.

The huge crystal was suspended in the air by layers of chains, emitting the same ominous aura as the Filthy Reversed Statue.

Dainsleb's eyes fluctuated violently. Vesefenir...

Kong immediately urged Ed to leave, but Ed knelt down devoutly as if possessed, muttering something.

At the same time, Sora also felt a voice echoing in his mind.

{Life, why are you kneeling? Are you kneeling because of fear of the unknown? Are you kneeling because of greed for power?}

{Life, why are you kneeling? I am not a god, I am just a——【sinner】}

The voice claimed that it knew his fate, calling him a flower that was born of sin but was still pure.

{There is no need to suppress all your resentment, and there is no need to tolerate all those lies.}

{Become a transcendent being, transcending all "given destiny."}

Sora has been pondering the meaning of these words until now, and the secrets hidden behind them.

Su held Kong's head in worry, listening to the voice in his head.

Of course there was nothing, and no strange traces.

The famous detective Sue returns to the stage and casts a suspicious look at Dainsleb, "This riddle man who can't speak properly... can't he be your relative!"

Sora also raised his head and looked at Dainsleib.

After Su said that... he also felt that the voice was a bit like Dain's.

After much deliberation, Dainsleb decided to confess part of the secret, "The [sinner] in the dream is my brother Viserfenil."

There are five great [Sinners] in Kanreya, all of whom have stolen the power of the abyss and become transcendental beings. Each of them has enough power to rival the world.

One of the [Sinners] was Dainsreb's brother, the [Prophet] Viserfenir.

“What he said was not so much a ‘prophecy’ as it was the ‘future’ that he had seen with his own eyes and would definitely happen.”

Because his elder brother Viserfenil made a "prophecy" that the king did not like, he was imprisoned in a dark prison deep underground.

He gathered the strongest forces he could muster and went deep underground to rescue his brother, but the final result was...

Dainsleb collected his thoughts and asked, "Where is the location of that cave?" Even if the place is deserted, the remaining clues can bring new clues.

Sora took out a pen and paper and drew a simple map, which Deinsleib carefully put away.

After the voice and the purple-black crystal disappeared, Ed seemed to have returned to normal and hurried back to observe Kalibel's situation.

After feeding the newly prepared forbidden drug to Kalibel, the child who had turned into a monster really woke up.

Although a little weak, his consciousness and language were no different from those of a human.

Ed was very surprised, but when Kaliber asked about his mother, his joy quickly melted away like snow in the sun, and he returned to real sadness.

Kalibel's consciousness had only changed back to that of a human, but his demonic body...

Ed suppressed his sadness and told his son that they arrived in the fairy tale world while he was asleep.

In this world, there is no more Kanreya, no more home, but there is also no red sky and doomsday-like disaster.

In this new fairy tale world, Kaliber will appear as a little monster and stay with his father forever.

Ed told Kaliber not to take off his mask, feed the weak child and tell him stories. After putting Kaliber to sleep, Ed wanted to return to the ruins, saying he wanted to fulfill a vow.

Kong said that Ed believed that it was his previous devout worship that moved the god-like being.

If he could exchange his faith for more power, could Kalibel be completely saved?

Everyone present could guess what Ed was thinking at the time.

"It's human nature," said Deinsleib calmly, "but it's just a fool's dream."

Paimon was not optimistic about Ed's choice either, "But if he doesn't hold out hope, he'll probably collapse."

Kong was worried that Ed would fall into that dangerous place. Although he did not agree with Ed's choice, he still accompanied him on the journey.

The ruins were empty, and the "miracle" had completely disappeared. Ed returned disappointed, and then found a mirror dropped on the ground, and Kaliber, who was supposed to be resting on the bed, was gone!

Sora and Ed searched hurriedly all the way and found Kaliber who had taken off his mask in front of a cliff.

"Calibel! Don't go any further! It's Dad, Dad is coming to find you." Ed called out to the desperate child standing in front of the cliff with fear and sadness.

"No matter what you saw, those...those were all illusions, they were all lies to you! Dad said that this is a fairy tale world, it's not real. Come, come here, and go back with me!"

"Dad... this is all too cruel..."

A large amount of abyssal energy gushed out of Kalibel's body. When Kong regained consciousness, he found that he and Ed had returned to the wooden house.

Kaliber is missing and Ed is in a state of madness.
