Original God's Dark Priest

After Asmodeus's revelation, Saphir basically understood the things that had confused her before.

First of all, she has no real enemies in this world.

Everyone can unite, it just depends on how she does it. To be more precise, how she uses herself to drive the trend and unite other people who are not united at all.

This matter coincides with what she has been doing. She has been trying to unite various countries, and has achieved initial results.

Then comes the final enemy, which is actually not an enemy but an obsession.

The fact that neither she nor Asmodeus could go against was the main reason for their failure.

That obsession is the law of nature. The so-called law of nature is not a certain individual, or rather, as Phanes fell into a deep sleep, the law of nature no longer refers to a single person.

It is like a shadow that has escaped into a pure land, while the one outside is the inflexible General Thunder. If you want to convince him, you can only show your strength enough to defeat him.

This is not enough; one also needs a self-will strong enough to fight against the will of the world, which is the most difficult thing.

Strength and willpower, it is not enough to achieve the standard alone, both need to go hand in hand.

Asmodeus did not say what attitude Phanes held. Perhaps even she was not very clear about it. Or perhaps she knew but felt there was no need to tell Saphir, so she concealed it.

It may also be because it would violate some taboos, so she couldn't speak up.

Future developments were also taboo, so when Saphir tried to inquire about information about the future development of Fontaine Tower, Asmodeus chose to remain silent.

"It seems that if we want to know what will happen in the future, we can only experience it ourselves." Saphir sighed, and then focused his attention on what Asmodeus had been emphasizing.

Three of the so-called Four Shadows have been destroyed, and the key to reversing the status quo is to bring back the deceased ruler.

The four known shadows are life and death, time and space, among which time and space are certain, namely Istaru and Asmodeus.

Life and death are unknown, and Saphir believes that the most likely ones are Shin and Paimon.

However, one of these two people is Inazuma's god and the other is a mascot. She doesn't know what the so-called welcoming back means yet. Fortunately, both of them are still alive and well, so it will be relatively convenient for her to do anything she wants to do in the future.

So the key to the problem is Istaru.

According to Asmodeus, Istaru has fallen, but falling is meaningless to the Ruler of Time. From the perspective of time, existence itself is the meaning.

As long as she existed at a certain point in time, her shadow could be cast at all points in time. Saphir believed that this was what Istaru did.

Even Asmodeus did not reveal what it meant to welcome back Istaru, so Saphir naturally had no idea. Fortunately, she still had a lot of time and could slowly look for the answer.

As for Asmodeus herself, to Saphir, her actions were traceable, but now was not the time for them to meet. They both needed to complete what they were supposed to do, and I believe Asmodeus thought so too.

After sorting out her thoughts, Safir decided to leave. She could have used the second stage of Fatal Blade to go directly to Mondstadt, but for some reason, she suddenly decided to return along the same route and take in the scenery along the way.

She casually opened the portal, and what came into her eyes was a confrontation between Zhongli and a figure that looked exactly like her.

This made her stunned for a moment: "Why did Zhongli come here, and who is that guy?"

"Safier, it's Safier! Ying, Xier, let's go over there quickly!" Xiao Paimeng's eyes were sharp and he spoke immediately.

After her reminder, Ying also discovered Saphir walking out of the portal, so she ran over quickly.

"What's going on? Why is there a fight here?" Saphir looked at Ying, then at Xier, and found that both of them looked unwell and were obviously injured.

Xier spread her hands and explained the whole process.

After listening to her explanation, Saphir looked at the afterimage of Zhongli and himself who were already fighting, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Then why don't you leave? If you stay here, Zhongli will be unable to move freely, and he will have to distract himself to take care of your safety."

"Although I also know this is the truth, but you say it so bluntly, it's really hurtful." Xier pursed her lips, looking so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Saphir rolled his eyes at her and said, "You don't want to learn good things, but only learn these green tea tricks."

But she still didn't drive them away. Instead, she casually rubbed a healing prayer and walked towards the battlefield between Zhongli and Afterimage: "Do you need help?"

"It would be great if Boss Phil is willing to lend a hand." Zhongli looked at ease, but he did not reject Safire's offer to help.

The afterimage on the other side didn't look so good: "My main body... Damn it, why did it have to be at this time..."

Looking at the frustrated afterimage, Saphir had a guess in his mind. This was probably not a coincidence, but a test. Here, the ground veins had been modified. As long as she appeared, such an afterimage mechanism would be activated, indiscriminately attacking anyone who came here.

The purpose is naturally to prevent anyone from going deep into the secret realm and disturbing her.

Like Asmodeus's afterimage, this one probably existed for quite a while, which is why self-awareness was born.

Safire didn't want to care about the reason behind this, because she already knew what she wanted to know, and there was no need to bother with a clueless afterimage.

So, she took out Veronica and threw all the strengthening buffs that could be used on Zhongli, then she stepped aside leisurely and looked at Zhongli with a helpless look on his face with a smile.

"You...that's all." Zhongli shook his head and said no more. Instead, he looked seriously at the afterimage not far away, ready to end this farce.

In this world, the host called Lao Wei has completed the second stage of the battle, and the plot has advanced to the opening animation of the third stage. Saphir's appearance caused a wail.

[Not my friend? Where is the Aurora trial you promised me? Why is it gone? ]

[That's it? Just two buffs and that's it? ]

[The one above, you haven't finished the Liyue main story yet, right? Don't you know what Aurora's buff is? ]

[But I didn’t see the Holy Light Apocalypse either. ]

Lao Wei looked at the character on the screen seriously and said in all seriousness, "You underestimate the difficulty of this third stage. I really want to know what kind of difficulty it is that requires Morax in the plot to be strengthened by Aurora in order to conquer it."

[I think the plot is about destroying this afterimage directly to avoid any complications.]

[The war between gods is devastating, you may have forgotten the destroyed Port of Ormos. ]

[So it's not that Morax can't defeat the afterimage, it's just to minimize the impact? ]

[This is likely the case.]

The host can no longer see the comments of the audience as he is now operating the program very seriously.

Soon, he realized the difficulty of this stage.

Morax's own defense is extremely strong, so the afterimage's attack has little effect on him, but the biggest problem in the third stage is the afterimage's assassination field.

Because of the assassination field covering the entire field, every time Morax was attacked from behind, Ying and Xier beside him would suffer the same attack, which led to the decrease of Aurora's health when she used the Guardian Blessing.

In other words, he must kill the afterimage before Aurora's health is depleted, otherwise the operation will fail and he will have to start all over again.

"Wow, what a damn mechanism, why don't Ying and Xier leave?" After noticing this mechanism, Lao Wei was a little upset. It would be fine if those three burdens just ran away, but they insisted on staying and becoming a breakthrough point. Aren't these stupid teammates?

[It feels like that. I seem to see myself playing a moba game! ]

[To be honest, it is true that bad teammates exist everywhere, and Teyvat is no exception. 】

[Do I remember that Aurora has a new life hymn that can restore health? ]

Because the afterimage is very fast, even if the operator has a sharp reaction, it is impossible to completely avoid all attacks, so in this live broadcast room, Aurora's health bar in the game screen quickly dropped below half.

Just when the anchor couldn't help but want to curse, a voice rang out in the game: "Leave the defense to me, just focus on attacking."

Then, a green light flashed, and Aurora's health bar, which had dropped to half, began to recover rapidly.

"Damn it! I knew it. I was scared to death. I thought there was really no way I could get through it." Lao Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

The comments in the live broadcast room also became lively.

[I remember that the end of the Liyue main quest was like this. When you can’t clear all the minions, the health recovery mechanism will be triggered.]

[Lao Mi still has some ideas, otherwise wouldn't this mission be impossible to complete? ]

[But in fact, we can’t even get past the first stage…]

[Isn't it enough to have hands in the first stage? Nanny, feed me. ]

[Wake up, you don’t have a babysitter, and even if you do, your babysitter has no hands]

"It's like this, I also think that this event is a bit strange. Judging from the trials given, the difficulty of the first stage is obviously too high, as if..." The anchor frowned. This event gave him a strange feeling, making him feel like something was missing.

Just as everyone was discussing this, the game screen suddenly froze and then showed that it was offline.

[Holy crap? It's down? Hahahahaha, what kind of network is this? ]

[No way, isn't this simply disgusting? ]

[Laomi is so disgusting. He deliberately disconnected when he saw that Laowei was about to pass. What kind of thing is this? 】

[Wait a minute, those who curse, let me curse first! 】

The barrage of comments exploded instantly, and the host felt a little depressed. To be honest, he really didn't want to touch that stage. Not only was it difficult, but there was almost no room for error.

Even with Xin Hai, there is still a situation where the healing is not enough. It feels that only Bai Zhu can provide enough healing, but the character of Bai Zhu... he didn't draw it.

But there is no way, the live broadcast has started, of course, he can't give up halfway, money is hard to make, shit is hard to eat, the audience can curse without restraint, but he, as a broadcaster, can't say too much. Otherwise, it's easy to lead the rhythm.

Especially for a popular anchor like him, he needs to be careful with his words during the live broadcast, otherwise the impact caused will be something he cannot deal with.

Just as he was about to log in again to endure the torture, a system pop-up window suddenly prompted that there was a new email.

Seeing this, he subconsciously opened his email and checked it.

The mailbox contains 300 primogems as compensation. The general meaning is that due to a program error, there was a problem with the trial character, which led to abnormal difficulty of the activity and brought a bad experience to the players. The bug has just been urgently fixed.

[There's a problem with the trial character? What's going on? Morax doesn't allow me to use it, right? ]

[I am dying of laughter. It turns out that the difficulty of the first stage is normal. The second and third stages are all fake. Can Morax be used by us? Are you dreaming? How can we deserve it? ]

[This is unbelievable. Now Lao Mi’s life is in trouble.]

[I used to like Aurora, but now I suddenly find her a little annoying. ]

[Is it a bit... when the role of operation problem rises?]

[I don't care, she abused me and that's her fault! ]

The host Lao Wei looked at the comment section but did not say anything in agreement. He was not as simple as the audience thought.

Since the trial character Morax has been released, it means that this character was prepared for people to use from the beginning, otherwise it would not have gone wrong to such an extent.

Therefore, the meaning of this announcement is obviously that the difficulty of the first stage is abnormal, while the second and third stages are normal.

Thinking of this, Lao Wei said no more, went straight into the secret realm, and decisively chose Hu Zhong's night travel team.

[Laowei is still a tough guy. He even dares to bring Zhongli with him. 】

[Why do I feel like Lao Wei's defense is broken and he's starting to give up? ]

[Record the video, record the moment when the anchor breaks the defense. 】

Seeing these comments, Lao Wei chuckled: "We'll know the specific situation after we continue playing."

Because the plot had already been played once, this time he skipped most of the dialogues and started the game from the cutscenes.

"Traveler, this afterimage looks bad, you must be careful when dealing with it." In the picture, along with Xier's voice, the fifth character really appeared in the team, it was Xier.

[Hmm? Did I see it wrong? Why is there an extra trial character? ]

[Seele? Seele is also a real character? Is it true? ]

[Isn’t it obvious? ]

[I understand. The bug mentioned in the announcement just now refers to the fact that Xier is not available in the trial character.]

[Is this the key to breaking the deadlock? But is Seele really better than Aurora? ]

[Who knows? This character rarely appears in the film, right? ]

[I remember reading an article in which someone said that the resurrection of Kitsai Palace might be related to Seele. If that is true, I am afraid this character is really possible.]

[Have you read that textual research? You can imagine that it is impossible, right? Wasn't Aurora resurrected from the Kitsai Palace? ]

[You will know after watching it. Anyway, we don’t know many things behind the scenes. 】

[Damn, I really want to play the game from Aurora's perspective! The Traveler's perspective means nothing!]

When Lao Wei saw Xi'er joining the team, he immediately smiled and said, "I told you, how can an event instance be too difficult?"

Although he is not sure how a character can reduce the difficulty of this book, it does not stop him from pretending to be cool.

He skillfully cut off the shield, and the next moment, Aurora's afterimage's attack arrived as expected.

Under the gazes of everyone in the live broadcast room, Zhongli instantly sustained two rounds of damage totaling more than 60,000 and died instantly.

Lao Wei: …

Audience: …

What is this for playing?

But the next second, Xi'er's voice rang out: "Birth Ceremony: Gold Refining."

Zhongli, who had been dead, suddenly revived with full health, and his elemental energy also recovered to full value.

Seeing this scene, Lao Wei laughed directly: "What is this? Resurrection? Is it so domineering?"

[Wow, looking at the full-life Barbara in my hand, it suddenly doesn’t seem so attractive anymore]

[Don’t cry first, I have a full life of 77, I will cry first! ]

"She's very fast. Let's first find a way to slow her down. Well, let's use time zero."

Xier's voice sounded again, and the picture on the screen suddenly had an extra layer of filter, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

The afterimage of Aurora, which was originally so fast that it was hard to keep up with, became much slower under this filter.

At this speed, any normal player can dodge her attacks by dodging the invincibility frame.

This way, players can handle the first stage quite easily.

Because of chatting with the audience, Lao Wei made many mistakes in his operations.

However, due to the effect of gold refining, the characters on the field could not die no matter what. In addition, with the help of the words that appeared from time to time, this battle could be said to be easy and comfortable, and it transitioned to the second stage unknowingly.

"To be honest, this difficulty really only requires hands." Looking at the game screen entering the cutscene, Lao Wei couldn't help but sigh.

[The contrast is too strong. If the original difficulty was that of a soul-based game, now it is completely like BabyBus.]

[To be honest, I can do it too. ]

[But Xi'er is obviously not compatible with Hu Tao. The amount of health she recovers is too strong and she can't control her health at all.]

[The frequency of hanging on the grass is very high. If you have life transfer mastery, I feel that it is more suitable for grass walking for a long time than Nashida.]

[That's probably still incomparable. To be honest, I feel like this is a bit like a support prepared for the Burning Team, betting on the Girl Burning C]

【Looking forward to the divine prophecy above. 】
