The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

"What did you do?!" Looking at the wolf king who was swallowed by the darkness bit by bit, Barbatos' voice became colder and colder. He raised his hand and pointed. The wind elements around him suddenly condensed. Green arrows instantly covered the entire sky. The originally invisible wind was like indestructible steel in Barbatos' hands.

As long as he gave the order, the arrows flying all over the sky would turn everyone in the abyss into a honeycomb in the blink of an eye. Even Kong, who could not reach the level of a god under the suppression of the law of nature, could not say that he could escape unscathed.

But Kong was not panicked at all. He just moved aside slightly and pointed at Wang Lang.

"Your Excellency, you have to think carefully. If you continue to mobilize the power of wind, the Wolf King may die faster."

Hearing this, Luo Mu and his companions no longer cared about the hurricane created by Barbatos, and tried to look up at the King Wolf who was still fighting a desperate battle with the Beast Realm Hound. They found that the giant wolf totem composed of black air on the Beast Realm Hound and the Apostle of the Abyss was gradually merging into the body of the King Wolf. With the influx of black air, spider-web-like black lines climbed from the forehead of the King Wolf to his entire body. At this time, the King Wolf looked like an exquisite jade artifact that was thrown heavily to the ground, covered with terrible cracks, and would collapse with just the slightest touch.

"This is... erosion!" Lisa immediately recognized the strange lines on the King Wolf's body that looked like cracks on dry earth. "Could it be that the Abyss Cult extracted all the erosion curses from so many Beast Realm Hounds and sealed them into the King Wolf's body!"

"Not entirely correct," Kong said calmly, "Rather than saying that we sealed this power into the King Wolf's body, it's better to say that it contains these curses itself." He spoke slowly, as if he wanted to explain the current situation to everyone.

"As a high-level alchemical creature, the Beast Hound is one of the countless creations of the alchemist Rhinedot." Facing the tense Fengshen and Luo Mu, Kong began to explain like a teacher: "I'm afraid you have experienced this kind of creature. They carry a strange curse called erosion. This curse can prevent the wounds of all creatures injured by the Beast Hound from healing and continue to bleed. But at the same time, this characteristic is also an important condition for maintaining the survival of the Beast Hound."

"In other words, the Corrosion Curse is the flesh and blood of the Beast Hounds. It is because of it that the Beast Hounds exist."

"At the beginning of the wolf disaster, the King Wolf originally planned to make a quick decision and drive out all the beast hounds, so he asked Lei Ze to summon all parties to come. Of course, this is also what I am happy to see." Kong said this and paused slightly, as if to take a breath: "But just when all parties gathered in the Runlang Territory, a mysterious guy came to the Great Trial Field and met with the King Wolf."

"That fellow looks like a crane, and his wind god is as white as jade. When he frowns and raises his eyes, he seems to be able to make the clouds in the sky roll and unroll. He calls himself "Leaving Clouds to Borrow Wind". He came from Liyue and was entrusted by the wind god to help the wolf king."

“As the remnant soul of a thousand-year-old king, Wang Lang had some knowledge of the name Liu Yun Jie Feng. Naturally, he would not immediately believe that mysterious guy. He asked him many questions, from the scenery of Liyue to the mechanisms of the immortals, from the battle between the devil and the god to the authority. That guy told him everything he knew. In order to gain Wang Lang’s trust, he even revealed some things that only the wind god would know.”

"It told King Wolf that the reason why the Wind God came to it was because the demon god of the tornado, Dekalapian, had revived. The Wind God hoped to use its fairy mechanical skills to build a new body for King Wolf and restore its authority as the Great Lord of the North." Kong's words were shocking. Even Barbatos in the sky was stunned.

"How did you know..." He muttered to himself.

"After several days of investigation, Wang Lang finally believed the guy who looked like a crane. This was mainly because he did know a lot of the secrets of the God of Wind, and he could indeed control the divine wind, which was consistent with Liu Yun Jie Feng's description of his power. Liu Yun Jie Feng told Wang Lang that if he wanted to reconstruct the divine body, ordinary materials would not work, and he had to use something 'born but not yet born' to forge it."

"And isn't the Beast Realm Hound a source of materials that meet the requirements? It has biological properties, but it is not a living thing. Isn't it just something that was born but not yet born?"

"That's why the King Wolf gave such an order, so that we don't have to deliberately reduce the number of black wolves..." Luo Mu gritted his teeth and said, "It was deceived by you and wanted to use them to restore its strength."

"That's right." Kong clapped his hands lightly: "Using the enemy's hand to protect your own chess piece, isn't this the most cost-effective thing to do?"

"In short, during the research of Liuyun Jiefeng and Wanglang, they found that only creatures with corrosive power in their bodies can use the limbs of the Beast Realm Hound as an alchemical body, so Liuyun Jiefeng suggested that Wanglang accept some of the corrosive power into his body and use the power of wind to contain it to achieve his goal. This is very difficult for demon gods of other elements, but for demon gods of the wind element, wind itself contains a part of the power of space, so it is not difficult to open up space in the body to accommodate some foreign objects."

"King Wolf, King Wolf, you have taken on the corruption and curse from the abyss bit by bit. Do you understand?" As he spoke, Kong turned around and looked at the King Wolf who had been knocked down by the huge beast hound with amusement. His tone no longer had the ease and gentleness from before, but was instead filled with sharp sarcasm and indifference.

Luo Mu suddenly felt that he seemed to no longer recognize the emptiness of this world.

In the game, although this prince of the abyss was also planning to overthrow the laws of nature and destroy Sky Island, and had done similar things to the Seven Gods and their followers, no matter what, Luo Mu only felt that it was because of their different positions that Kong was not an evil person in essence.

But today, looking at the indifferent young man in front of him, Luo Mu felt as if he was staring at an evil ghost crawling out of the abyss.

"You've actually noticed it, Andrius." The evil ghost was still muttering, "You have been using your wind elemental power to suppress the restless curse in your body, but you also know that as long as there are gods of equal authority mobilizing wind elemental power around you, your control over the curse will collapse at the touch of a button, which is why you have been reluctant to ask Barbatos for help. You don't trust the dissolute ruler from the bottom of your heart, and Barbatos...how is the search for Dikarapian going?" Kong suddenly turned around and asked Barbatos with a sneer.

"The last trace is in the Wolf Territory..." Barbatos' voice was somehow filled with fatigue. He slowly lowered his hands, and the wind elemental arrows disappeared one after another, leaving him alone standing in the sky.

"Diakarabian pretends to be Liuyunjifeng, and has the support of the abyss. No wonder his lies are so flawless."

"Yes, yes. It really took me a lot of time to figure out what kind of immortal Master Liuyun Jiefeng is." Kong replied. He looked at the people who couldn't understand what he was saying except Luo Mu, and glanced at Barbatos and Wang Lang. He breathed a sigh of relief and extended a hand to Barbatos.

"Today, I used the Fatui to force you to return to Mondstadt in order to buy more time for the curse to erupt. Now, even you can't do anything to save the situation."

"Now you have two choices. First, let the King Wolf be corrupted by the abyss and become a true Abyss Wolf. Second, hand over the Heart of God and I will let the King Wolf go."

"How do you choose?"
