Paimon narrowed his eyes: "You're cheating on our relationship again, aren't you? Fortunately, I'm used to it..."

"Don't look at me like that. I still have to cover up." Wendy shrugged.

"After all, there are people who can use elemental power without the Eye of God..."

"Apart from you two, I've never encountered anyone like that before."

Ye Xing and Ying exchanged a glance, raised their eyebrows, and then looked at Wendy together. "Is there a problem?"

"Neither of you clearly possesses the Eye of God, but one of you gained elemental power by touching the Seven-Day Statue, and the other gained the elemental power of elemental creatures with the help of that magical net..."

"And it seems that you all can master many different elements..."

"To ordinary people, this is really unbelievable!"

Wendy looked at the two "freaks" in front of her and spread her hands helplessly.

"Although I don't know where your power comes from, at least you are not evil, so it doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Paimon folded his arms across his chest, raised his head and said proudly:

"Hehe, anyway, they are all very powerful people, and they are all good people."

"Oh right! Also, who was that bad woman who blew me away the moment we met and stole your 'Heart of God', Wendy? Captain Jean said she was some kind of executive officer... That's really outrageous!"

When Wendy heard this question, her playful expression faded and she calmed down.

"She is [Madam], the eighth of the Eleven Executive Officers of the Fatui, codenamed [Madam]."

"Every Fatui executive, like her, has been granted godlike authority by the Queen of Winter, gaining power beyond that of mortals. That's why she's so powerful."

"The...Queen of the Kingdom of Winter? Isn't that..." Paimon was slightly shocked when he heard the news, and even Ying's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, one of the Seven Gods, the Ice Queen who sits in the Winter Palace. She is the sole object of all Fatui officers' loyalty."

When Wendy said this, she held up her chin with one hand, and her eyes were full of thought. I don't know what she was thinking about.

"Although the relationships among the Seven Gods aren't all harmonious, I never imagined she would actually be plotting to seize the 'Hearts of God' from other gods..."

Ying was obviously very curious about this matter. She stopped talking on Paimon's behalf and asked, "What kind of god is the Ice Queen?"

"Ah...how should I put this?"

Wendy pondered for a moment when she heard Ying's question.

"I know her from 500 years ago, but I am a stranger to her now."

"Five hundred years ago, after a catastrophe, she severed all communication with me... As for what she's thinking now, I can't really explain..."

"Since the Ice Queen's officers are so formidable, then she herself, the Ice God, must be even more formidable!"

Paimon floated in the air with his hands on his hips, a questioning look in his eyes.

"As one of the Seven Gods... you're so far behind."

"Well...haha, well, it's because I tried to communicate with Tevarin earlier, but was...um...interrupted... As a result, not only did I fail to remove the curse for Tevarin, but I was actually corroded by the toxicity of the Abyss!"

"I finally managed to accumulate some divine power... and you still have the nerve to criticize me."

"Besides, only by fulfilling my duties as a priest can I accumulate divine power. But I don't like ruling... I don't think Mond would like it either. So, I am undoubtedly very weak now, haha..."

Looking at Wendy who was trying to defend herself, Ye Xing smiled slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the history of Mond in his memory.

[The Seven Gods in Teyvat's history have indeed demonstrated many powerful strengths.]

[The Liyue Rock God has the Rock Spear that he threw at Guyun Pavilion, and the Inazuma Thunder God has the Wuxiang Blade that he split open when he killed the Demonic Serpent.]

[The Wind God also had the great feat of leveling the surface of Mondstadt, cutting off the mountains, and moving them into the vast ocean, transforming them into the Golden Apple Islands.]

[But that is Barbatos, the wind god who remains in history.]

[At that time, he inherited the power of the Tornado Demon God and also possessed the authority of the Heart of God.]

[The Seven Earthly Principalities do not have any expectations for the Eye of God; they already possess great power.]

[But Barbatos loves the human world, and naturally wishes to move more freely in Mondstadt as "Wendy."]

[In fact, in the long history, every god or demon will be more or less worn down.]

"Furthermore, a god's power largely comes from the fulfillment of his duties and the faith of his people. Even though the people of Mondstadt have a strong faith, the God of Wind, accustomed to freedom, who rarely performs his duties, will undoubtedly retain far less power than other gods."

"That's what he said anyway."

Seeing Wendy's helpless look in the face of Paimon's question, Ye Xing couldn't help but come to his rescue:

"From what I know, every Fatui executive is extremely powerful. The evil eye bestowed upon them by the Ice God will give them power far exceeding that of ordinary humans."

"Also, I heard that the higher the seat, the stronger the strength! Each of the top three executives possesses power comparable to that of a god. They are extremely powerful!"

At the same time, Ye Xing also remembered that even with the strength of the Traveler who had obtained the power of the five elements of wind, rock, thunder, grass, and water, he was no match for the fourth seat [Servant] of the Fatui Executive in the plot!

This also doubled the pressure on Ye Xing, and his eyes became more serious, making the excitement and complacency in Ye Xing's heart that came from fighting with [Lady] and winning disappear in an instant!

A long way to go!

"What... is that so?! I didn't expect this Fatui to be so powerful..."

Paimon and Ying were both shocked by Ye Xing's words.

"The Fatui possess the strongest military force of the Seven Kingdoms, but they use it to steal the Sky Harp, covet divine power, and use the dragon plague to put pressure on the Knights..."

Wendy then added, "The Fatui's ability to dominate the Seven Kingdoms and threaten the Knights of Favonius is entirely due to the existence of these eleven executors."

"The Ice Queen... I haven't seen her for five hundred years. What is she thinking about? What is she planning?"

"The answer to this question may also have an unknown impact on your journey to find the Seven Gods..."

Then Wendy looked at Ye Xing with a complicated expression. "Ye Xing..."

"Tevlin...even to the very end, he remembered his duty as the Guardian of the Four Winds, even when the Abyss Cult attempted to transform him into a weapon of war for the Abyss, stripping him of everything, including his freedom."

"So, I don't intend to forcibly remove his responsibilities or force my understanding of 'freedom' on him. Instead, I hope that Tevarin can choose and understand freedom for himself."

"In my interactions with Tevarin, I didn't find him resisting the resonance you mentioned. Instead, he seemed to enjoy it."

"I hope that in the days ahead, you can be good partners and treat each other well..."

"Its choice to trust you, even to lend you its power, and to resonate with you, is its own decision. It's a choice it made in pursuit of freedom."

"Because before I became a god, a friend also taught me what freedom is."
